Chapter 184: The Truth (1)
"Xiaochun, I know it's hard for you to believe that we have indeed done things out of the ordinary, but we really should cooperate with Jin Cheng now, otherwise Hongcun may not be guaranteed!" Ma Yongde said.
Chen Jiutong also persuaded: "Xiaochun, I understand that you complain about me, but now it is really the last moment, only you can end all this, I have got a new body, there is no need to harm you again, you understand." ”
I was about to break down and yelled, "Then you can tell me, why did you hurt me in the first place?" And why take the child? If something goes wrong with the child, I don't have to die, what the hell are you having? ”
"Don't worry, I can explain this clearly."
Ma Yongde took a step forward and said: "I did want to burn you to death, because you are the key to opening the bronze door, if you die, maybe all the crises in Hongcun can end, but I didn't expect that this matter is far from being as simple as I thought, and burning you to death will not solve the problem at all." Don't complain about Uncle De, there are thousands of people in Hong Village, if I am asked to choose the most between you and Hong Village, I will choose Hong Village. ”
"Why am I the key to opening the bronze door?" I pointed to myself with red eyes.
"We don't know, maybe you're the one chosen." Chen Jiutong shook his head and said: "At the beginning, my seven spirits were lost, and my body became increasingly useless, so I could only find a corpse to replace it in a hurry. ”
"Am I the chosen one?" I muttered, my mind in a trance, and suddenly a bright light flashed.
I returned to the village after graduation a year ago, and it didn't take long for the ghost number to start texting me.
The first is: you're back.
The second is: I've been waiting for you for a long time.
The third is: protect the last heirs of the Hong family.
Since those three text messages, a series of tricks have begun in Hongcun.
Not long after, something happened to the Hong family, Hai Meirong committed suicide, and the old paper ghost burned to death I said before: You have been targeted by that thing in your village.
Does being targeted mean being chosen?
But the question is, did the swagger choose me, or did the ghost number choose me? What if you choose it? I didn't see anything special about myself.
"We don't know what kind of attention is paid to it." Chen Jiutong said again: "It's just that they are all around you, and they must know something." ”
"In this way, Koharu, no matter how much we say, it is better to go up and have a look together, and after reading it, you will believe what we say." Ma Yongde said.
I hesitated, but finally nodded, as he said, maybe everything would be clear when I went up.
So I followed Chen Jiutong and Ma Yongde and walked towards the palace on the mountain step by step.
The mountains are almost empty, and occasionally there are some ghosts, and they are also very wooden patrolmen, and they are very slow to react, and we easily dodge them one by one.
Soon we arrived at a corner in front of the first palace, and I found a plaque with blood on it: Hall of Hope.
I'm a little strange, didn't the Demon King set up another Yin Division, why didn't the name of the first hall imitate the Qin Guangdian of the underworld, but took a name that I don't know what it means.
The largest leader of the underworld is called Emperor Xudu, and there are a total of ten halls of Yama under his command, the first hall is led by King Qin Guang, and there are second halls and third halls behind in turn; Among them, the fifth hall is the most famous, and the person who leads it is the king of Yama who appears the most times in myths and legends.
"This is the handiwork of the demon king, Zhang Xianzhong's first general is called Sun Kewang, the demon king is the master of the Yin Division, and the general under his command is the king of Hades." Chen Jiu Tongdao.
"How did the Demon King die?" I looked at Chen Jiutong, obviously he and Ma Yongde both knew a lot about the matter of the Demon King.
"Killed by someone with a dragon's tooth arrow." Chen Jiutong said.
"Dragon's Tooth Arrow? What is it? "I'm baffled.
Ma Yongde said slowly: "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the dragon vein of the Central Plains was cut off, the Ming Dynasty was stormy, and the demons were rising, so at that time, a new dragon vein appeared in Changbai Mountain in the northeast, and it was that dragon vein that created the later Qing Dynasty. After Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime, the demon flames were monstrous, indispensable, and the Ming Dynasty was powerless against him, so the task of getting rid of him was transferred to the Qing Dynasty, which obtained the new dragon vein, and in order to pacify the world as soon as possible, the Qing Dynasty took a piece of dragon tooth in the dragon vein of Changbai Mountain, refined it into an arrow, and finally shot the demon king to death! ”
I was shocked when I heard it, there are so many sayings about the change of dynasties? Shaking his head, he couldn't help but ask again: "Is it only the dragon's tooth that can kill him?" ”
"The dragon tooth is the essence of the dragon vein, containing endless heaven and earth might, is the best thing to restrain the evil spirit, a dragon vein has a total of two dragon teeth, one less will lead to a great loss of the dragon vein, the Qing Dynasty in order to kill the demon king, but also made a bloody investment." Chen Jiu Tongdao.
I nodded, and suddenly realized that the history written from the perspective of Qimen was completely different from the history seen in the history books.
However, one thing is true, the Qing Dynasty was particularly unsmooth when it attacked the south, and the previous dynasties were a few years at most, and they could be unified under the condition of gaining absolute superiority, but it took the Qing Dynasty a full forty years to completely end the legal system of the Ming Dynasty.
Some historians even believe that as long as the south lasted another ten years, the Qing Dynasty might have to roll back to the northeast.
Because after the Eight Banners entered the customs, the combat effectiveness declined very quickly, and the main battles relied on traitors to fight. It is reminiscent of a series of unprecedented unequal treaties at the end of the Qing Dynasty...... Perhaps, all this is really related to the damage of the dragon vein, after all, the dragon vein is related to the national fortune of a dynasty.
"After the death of the Demon King, not only did he lose his body, but even the Demon Soul was hit hard and has been sleeping here, and now three hundred and sixty years have passed, and the Demon King will be resurrected." Ma Yongde stared vigilantly at the inside of the hall and said in a low voice.
I couldn't help but be really curious, thought about it, and simply asked them directly: "You seem to know a lot about the Demon King?" ”
Chen Jiutong and Ma Yongde glanced at each other, and both nodded slowly. Ma Yongde said: "Actually, there is nothing to hide, we didn't know about it before, but we got a handbook later, and we knew the original here." ”
"What notes?" My heart suddenly changed, in addition to the pamphlet, there are also notes?
"It was left by the ancestors of the Hong family." Chen Jiu Tongdao.
"The ancestor of the Hong family?" I blurted out. I heard the name clearly in the mouth of the Lady of the Worm, it was his closed bronze door, and he left a lot of powerful follow-ups.
Chen Jiutong looked at me with some surprise and said: "Yes, during the Cultural Revolution, your uncle and I were both Red Guards, when Hong Qingsheng and his father were landlords, the composition was not good, and the persecution was very serious. ”
"You're the Red Guardian." I said.
Chen Jiutong and Ma Yongde both nodded, with a look of shame on their faces.
"Who is the Red Guard Five King Kong, isn't Hong Qingsheng's family the target of persecution, why did Hong Qingsheng finally become one of you?" I threw out my doubts about the years of the Cultural Revolution.
Chen Jiutong was a little embarrassed, sighed, and said: "Xiaochun, you can't imagine how crazy the peasants of that era were to obtain the land they relied on for survival, and how ruthless the persecution of the enemy was, at that time Hong Qingsheng's father was still alive, Hong Qingsheng had to join the Red Guards in order to protect himself, in order to draw a line with his father, otherwise even he would suffer." Later, his father was really criticized and killed. ”
"I see."
It dawned on me.
The Hong family is the aborigines of Hong Village, owning a large area of fertile land, and when the population is small, the land will be concentrated, that is, the landlord. Ma Chai Chen Sanxing moved in later, and he should be a poor middle peasant.
In this way, it is natural that the Hong family was defeated during the Cultural Revolution, and Hong Qingsheng should have been born after fighting the local tyrants and dividing the land, and the Hong family was no longer a landlord at that time, so he could join the Red Guards to show his attitude to draw a clear line and pick up a life.
"As for the Red Guard Five King Kong you mentioned, that is indeed the name of our gang when we were in the gang, in addition to us, there are also Ji Ye and He Lansheng." Chen Jiutong said again.
"Who is Helan Sheng?"
I was slightly startled, it was a name I had never heard before.
Ma Yongde said: "Helansheng is an educated youth who was sent to our village back then, and he came from the city. ”
