Chapter 10: Frustration (10)
Qi Bei felt very strange in his heart, and always felt that he had inadvertently come into contact with some big secret, so he asked the eldest lady: "Master Taishi abandoned the Golden Crow God, but does the Golden Crow God really exist?"
The eldest lady smiled: "You are still young, I only heard my father and mother tell the legend of the Golden Crow God." In fact, those of us who are old have never seen each other since we were born. If it weren't for Master Taishi marrying a foreign woman as his wife, we would all be able to see the appearance of the Golden Crow God now. â
The more Qi Bei listened, the more confused he became, whether the Golden Crow God existed or not, and who Master Taishi married as his wife, and the sixteen-character prophecy of destroying the city? After all, he was an outsider who came to the city, and if it weren't for the fact that it might involve Mrs. Bailing, he would not have much interest in exploring it. Seeing that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, he thought to himself that he had to quickly find out if it had anything to do with Lady Bailing.
"Auntie," he begged, "tell me more about it." â
This eldest lady was kind-hearted, and she didn't suspect Qi Bei's non-stop questioning: "Okay, I'll tell you about it." She sat on the edge of the well, rubbing her back, Qi Bei hurriedly ran up to beat her shoulder, and now the eldest lady was more friendly to him.
"Let's come to the city, in fact, we should have ushered in the Golden Crow God more than forty years ago. According to the sixty Jiazi circuit, every sixty years, the Golden Crow God will come to our wind and the city. Your father and mother have always told you about this. Didn't all of us who grew up here grow up listening to these stories? â
Qibei was stumbling and trying to beat the eldest lady's back.
The eldest lady continued: "But, the last time the Golden Crow God came to our Fenglin City, it was before the reincarnation of the two Jiazi. It's been more than 100 years. â
Qi Bei didn't understand, so he asked: "Didn't you say that it was once in sixty years, why didn't you come?"
"Look at us people," the eldest lady watched with relief as nearly two hundred people crowded the small temple into a squeeze, "all of them sincerely prayed for the Golden Crow God to come." Our city was originally built by the Golden Crow God, thousands of years have passed, if there is no blessing and protection of the Golden Crow God, I don't know how many disasters will happen. Now, alas, the reincarnation of the two Jiazi is about to pass, and the Golden Crow God still refuses to come, and everyone is in a hurry. The eldest lady began to weep as she spoke, looking at her expression, like many people present, just a vast number of beings praying sincerely for the blessings of the gods, not a malicious traitor assassin. Qi Bei kept thinking in his heart.
She wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and smiled again: "Fortunately, there is a Xuantong monk who explained the reason, and the Golden Crow God abandoned Fenglin City, just because Master Taishi married a foreign woman, but did not marry his sister." â
It sounds farther and farther, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Lady Bailing. Qi Bei asked absentmindedly: "The Taishi family used to intermarry." â
"yes. Intermarriage within the clan and passing down the bloodline of Taishi is the will of the Golden Crow God. â
Qi Bei speculated: "In that case, Master Taishi has violated the will of the Golden Crow God?
"Of course. Master Taishi married the wrong lady, and the children he gave birth to did not have the right to inherit the position of the city lord, alas, no wonder Master Taishi couldn't invite the Golden Crow God, and his eldest son Gongzi Yang couldn't invite him to the sea, not only couldn't he come, but he also died at sea, and he didn't find the body until now. His second son, Gongzi Ji, is a pious person, but unfortunately the blood flowing is wrong, and the Golden Crow God will not be invited by him. The remaining two dolls, Miss Xin is a female baby, she has no inheritance qualifications, and the little boy is too young, and it will take a few years to grow up? â
Qi Bei expressed deep sympathy: "Master Taishi is so pitiful." â
"Poor what? Xuantong said that he was faint. Because of one person's fault, the whole city suffers, what kind of city lord is he?"
"But why is it that the old man Taishi I heard about is a conscientious and good person, and he thinks about the people of Fenglin City wholeheartedly. â
When she mentioned this, the eldest lady was angry: "Master Taishi abandoned the Golden Crow God, and this is the truth." If he really cares about us, why can't he hear the prayers of us believers in the Golden Crow? Why did he cut the number of traditional Golden Crow festivals by half? And sent spies throughout the city to keep a strict watch. Even the grandest Raku-ugh Rock Festival is gone. The Luowu Stone Yard by the sea has been turned into a fish market and garbage dump. If you grew up in this generation, you may not know that in the past, there was a Golden Crow Temple on every street, no matter how big or small, the entrance sign of the street was also the Golden Crow God, and there were three city walls inside and outside the city, and all the legends and stories carved on the walls were the Golden Crow God who rescued the city. â
Qi Bei was a little dizzy when he heard this, thinking in his heart, it seems that Fenglin City is really a city with a deep belief in the Golden Crow God, and the people here have their eyes shining when they mention the Golden Crow God. Before, I always envied Master Taishi, the lord of Jiuding Country, to stand at the top of a country, what a supreme glory it is, to get the wind and get the rain, but in fact, where is it easy?
The more the eldest lady spoke, the more indignant she became, and her penchant for gossip was fully revealed: "The taboo topics that Master Taishi ordered not to be mentioned in the whole city are probably also to cover up his lost belief in the Golden Crow God." â
"What's going on?"
"Xuantong said that the extinction of the goldfish clan ten years ago was actually the destruction of the wrong person. â
"Extinction?"
"Ten years ago, I thought you were just over ten years old, didn't you?
Qi Bei hurriedly said, "I'm ...... I do not know. â
The eldest lady took a sip of water and continued: "The goldfish clan is a taboo topic, you can't say it outside, so that the spies of the Taishi Mansion heard it and wanted to arrest you." But here, everyone is a believer in the Golden Crow God, and they all know it very well in their hearts. Hum. â
Qi Bei pressed his mouth: "I will never say it." Tell me about it, auntie. â
"Actually, this matter has to be traced back to eleven years ago, when the East China Sea goldfish clan landed on the shore. Those are the people who became fish. â
"Goldfish become humans, too?"
"Yes, they are all strange people of Dongsang, and they are also the people of the Golden Crow God. Child, you also know that because of the legend of the land ghost attacking the city, there is always a stalk in our hearts about fish, aquatic products, and other yin things. You say, the goldfish became a human and entered the Fenglin City, so what did it do? At the beginning, the Taishi Mansion was indeed careful and careful, what if the goldfish people were actually pretending to be ghosts and wanted to enter the city?"
