Xia Lei looked at my shocked look, he smiled with satisfaction, and said: "That's right, the Qingyi God of our Qiang people and the first generation of Shu kings of the ancient Shu Kingdom are both silkworm Cong clans, and he led the ancient Qiang people from the ignorant nomadic life to settle and build the country, and finally created a brilliant civilization in this land. For those of us descendants, his greatness is undoubted, so he is the god of our Qiang people! ”

I looked at the radiant old man in front of me, I bit my lip and asked, "Is that Ruochu the daughter of the silkworm cong?" ”

Xia Lei listened to my words, and said with a dumb smile: "Of course not, the god of Tsing Yi is the first generation of Shu kings, and the age of his existence is extremely long, and the people who ruled the ancient Shu country were the Bai Guan clan and the Yu Yu clan, they worked hard after the god of Tsing Yi, persuaded the farmers to teach the people to fish, so that the ancient Shu kingdom became stronger and stronger, and became a well-deserved overlord in this land." At that time, the descendants of the god of Tsing Yi were worshiped as the descendants of the gods by the ancient Shu people, representing the majesty of the god of Tsing Yi, and at the same time shouldering the heavy responsibility of communicating with the gods in the sky, and were respected as high priests, with a high status, not under the king of Shu. And what you are talking about is a high priest in the later years of the Uocha clan. ”

I suddenly realized, no wonder I saw Ruochu in the dream of the dragon soul in the golden phoenix bird robe guarded by thousands of ancient Shu guards, looking extremely majestic, it turned out that she was actually an extremely high priest in the ancient Shu country, representing the identity of the gods.

The mysteries in my heart were peeled away one by one, and the originally scattered clues began to be connected together through Xia Lei's words.

I put my hands on my thighs, and I kept knocking excitedly, and I excitedly said to Xia Lei, "And then the rebellion is next, right?" It was that zombie ancestor who controlled the ancient Shu Kingdom, and then he attacked Ruochu again, isn't it? ”

Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face looked a little inexplicable, as if he didn't understand what I said, he frowned at me and said, "What zombie ancestor, what kind of mess is that?" ”

I was stunned, didn't I guess right?

What I saw in the dream of the dragon soul was that the middle-aged man caught Ruochu, and then linked to the illusion seen in the ancient Shu ruins and the golden monkey king and others, it is not difficult to judge that it was the middle-aged man who was suspected of being the ancestor of the zombie who controlled the ancient Shu kingdom and grabbed Ruochu and made her into an artificial dragon vein.

But why did Xia Lei show such an inexplicable expression, didn't he know what happened back then, and didn't know that the middle-aged man was a zombie?

While I was sitting there thinking nonsense, Xia Lei spoke: "I don't know what you mean by that zombie, but what I said earlier is true, everything is because of a rebellion back then. ”

Xia Lei's expression darkened a lot when he said this, and he said bitterly: "At that time, it was the era when Du Yu, the king of fish, was in power, during Du Yu's reign, he was diligent and loved the people, taught the people how to plant crops, fish and hunt, and the people also supported him very much. But in his later years, an unprecedented flood broke out in the entire Shu region, which was a flood that swept the entire southwest region, and its ferocity was almost comparable to the flood of Di Yao's time. The common people suffered greatly, those who died, those who fled, and the country fell into chaos. The population of Shu fell sharply by sixty or seventy percent. And Du Yu also tried to control the flood, but no matter how he tried everything, he couldn't fundamentally solve this disaster. ”

"Until that person came, the man named Turtle Ling came to Shu at this time, he claimed to be a native of Chu from the East, who could recognize the nature of water. Du Yu thought that the turtle spirit was not only smart, but also knew the water nature, and was a talent, so he appointed the turtle spirit as the prime minister of the ancient Shu Kingdom to help him control the water. ”

I listened fascinated, although I didn't understand what the story Xia Lei told had to do with the rebellion, but I had a faint feeling in my heart that there might be something wrong with the Chu State called Turtle Ling.

Xia Lei glanced at me and continued: "That turtle spirit is indeed a talent, he is like the king of Yu who governed the flood a long time ago, walked all over Shu, observed the terrain, and finally found a way to solve the flood, the turtle spirit led people to chisel through the Yulei Mountain, so that the water of the Min River flowed through, and since then the flood has gradually subsided, and the entire Shu land has regained prosperity and peace. ”

"It seems that the person called Turtle Spirit is very capable, and he has solved the flood that even the King of Shu can't control, but what does this have to do with that rebellion?" I couldn't help but say when I heard this, although I had a faint feeling in my heart that something was wrong with the person named Turtle Spirit, but there were no more clues, and I couldn't guess what happened next.

Xia Lei listened to my words, his face became a little painful, as if what he said next made him very sad, he said: "It doesn't matter, this is a big deal. When the turtle spirit met Du Yu, Ruochu, who was the high priest at the time, told Du Yu that there was a problem with the turtle spirit and asked him to be careful, but Du Yu, who wanted to use the turtle spirit to control the flood, didn't listen to it at all, but continued to delegate power to the turtle spirit. ”

Later, as the high priest said, the turtle spirit was gracious to the people during the flood control, and united with the party to cultivate cronies, and unknowingly took away the authority of the ancient Shu country, and after he succeeded in controlling the water, he forced Du Yu to pass the throne of the ancient Shu country to him, and imprisoned Du Yu on the West Mountain, and put him under house arrest. Du Yu as a generation of Shu king, kind-hearted, never imagined that his trusted courtiers would have such ambitions, and finally died of grief and anger on the West Mountain, according to ancient legends, after Du Yu's death his soul turned into a cuckoo bird, one by one called: "It's better to go home than home", in order to express his grievances and grievances. Because of Du Yu's merits, later generations respected him as 'Emperor Wang' and sacrificed every year. ”

Xia Lei said with tears in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "I still remember that you Han people once wrote a poem. ”

"Du Yu was once the emperor of Shu, and he flew to the old city in the wilderness. It is called the Peach Blossom Moon every year, and it seems to sue the spring breeze for the death of the country. ”

Xia Lei choked up and finished reading this ancient poem with sadness and sorrow, his voice sounded heartbroken, as if he was feeling sympathy and pity for the ancient Shu king named Du Yu.

At this moment, I also seemed to be infected by the story told by Xia Lei, and a sense of sadness and pity surged in my heart, but at the same time, my heart remembered another ancient poem that I had learned in a textbook, written by a poet named Li Shangyin: "Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring." ”

Emperor Wang!

I didn't expect the legendary Emperor Wangdi to be Du Yu in the story told by Xia Lei, if I remember correctly, the master once told me that there is a Wangcong Temple built in Pixian County, Chengdu, which is specially used to worship the two emperors who have made great contributions in ancient times, and it seems that the Emperor Wangdi is the Du Yu who turned into a cuckoo bird after death.

I looked at Xia Lei, who was a little sad at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Does that rebellion refer to the matter of the turtle spirit usurping the throne and forcing Emperor Wangdi to die?" And that Ruochu, what happened in the end? ”

Xia Lei let out a long breath, as if he wanted to dispel the depression in his heart, he continued: "Turtle Ling usurped the throne of the ancient Shu Kingdom, forced Emperor Du Yu to death, and then called himself Emperor Enlightened, and was also called Emperor Cong, and since he started the ancient Shu Kingdom is called the Enlightened Dynasty, Turtle Ling is the first generation of the Enlightened Dynasty of the Shu King!" ”

"As a foreigner from the Chu State not only usurped the throne of the King of Shu, but also forced the previous generation of Emperor Wang, as a descendant of the Tsing Yi God, the high priest naturally would not give in, so after that rebellion, the descendants of the Tsing Yi God who represented the divine right and the usurper turtle spirit started a war again, and in the end, because the turtle spirit received the support of the people when controlling the water, plus his subordinates controlled a huge army, the result of the war ended in the victory of the turtle Ling, he defeated the army of the high priest, and captured Ruochu on the bank of the Min River. Since then, the ancient Shu Kingdom created by the god of Tsing Yi has been taken away by this Chu people from other regions! ”

I was shocked inexplicably, it turned out that in the dream of the ancient Shu ruins and the evil dragon soul, the middle-aged man I saw was the turtle spirit!

It's just that this turtle spirit is not the zombie ancestor that the white-clothed corpse king said?
