The most famous of the legends of the Seven Kingdoms is the scholar of Zheng Di, he was dedicated to studying when he was a teenager, and he was admitted to Xiucai at the age of thirteen, and he was a well-known seed of reading. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
His love story with Miss Chen is also quite famous, it is said that the two met on the day of the Lantern Festival, it seems that God has fulfilled it, the two actually picked up each other's lanterns, and then fell in love at first sight, and a month later they spent the moon before and after, and made a private decision for life.
However, the Chen family's parents did not agree to this marriage, the Chen family was a famous family in Zheng Di, and the young lady of the Chen family naturally wanted to marry a well-connected family instead of a poor talent; the scholar kept looking for someone to come to the door to propose marriage, but every time the person who proposed marriage was kicked out by the Chen family.
The scholar was angry, but went to Chen's house to argue, and finally made a gambling contract with Chen's father and Chen's mother, if he could get rich within three years, he would come back to marry Miss Chen, if not, he would leave Zhengdi and never come back.
This matter became famous in Zhengdi, and many people sighed, a good reading seed did not go to the examination to gain fame but went to the business to be a Jia, this is not a sacrifice to the end?
The Chen family is a famous local family, and the reputation is accumulated from generation to generation, and a scholar who has no power to start from scratch and become rich is undoubtedly a fool's dream
However, what is unexpected is that only two years later, the name of the scholar Zheng Wenqu shook the party, the firm he founded monopolized the tea business and salt administration in the north, and the momentum was even greater than that of the Chen family, three years later Zheng Wenqu returned to Zhengzhuang as promised, although the Chen family lost the bet, but won a great son-in-law, and naturally there will be no resistance to this marriage, and a month later they set a date for the two to get married.
If the story is only here, then everything is very good, it is natural that the scholar has suffered so much and finally married a lover, and it will be a good story to spread it in the future.
However, God always plays tricks on people, on the day of Zheng Wenqu's wedding, the king of Beiyu Kingdom hunted Zhengzhuang, Zhengzhuang is also a small town under Beiyu, according to etiquette, everyone has to come to meet the royal family.
The tragedy began, and when the king of Beiyu saw that Miss Chen was stunned for a long time, he seemed to be moved in his heart, and sent someone to snatch the bride and bring it back to the palace that night while the groom was toasting.
After that, things became blurred, and the opera "Mandarin Duck San" written by Zheng Diren was divided into six acts: "Liangren", "Fengqiao", "Going North", "Glory Returning", "Happiness", and "Soul Death", and the last scene of the soul death ended with Miss Chen being robbed and Zheng Wenqu disappearing.
As for what happened after that, some people say that Zheng Wenqu did not follow the martial arts and vowed to destroy Beiyu, some people say that he entered the devil's path and became inhuman, not a ghost, and even his sanity was almost completely lost, and some people say that he crossed the Li River and threw himself into the Beiyue Kingdom, his eyes were bloodshot every day, and he offered a poisonous plan to the king of Beiyue, just to make the blood of the Beiyu Kingdom flow into a river one day.
Lu Hong knew that according to the records of the Beiyu Kingdom, five years later, Zheng Wenqu did lead his troops to attack the capital of the Beiyu Kingdom, when the king of the Beiyu Kingdom was dead, and the prince had not yet ascended the throne, Zheng Wenqu dug up the king from the ground and slaughtered the princes and nobles.
Then he led the Yin soldiers to destroy the Seven Kingdoms in one fell swoop, making the Yin and Yang of the Seven Kingdoms chaotic and becoming a place of death.
As for after the destruction of the Northern Yu Kingdom, what happened before the remnants of the Seven Kingdoms allowed Zheng Wenqu to control the Yin soldiers is unknown, according to the national book records of the Northern Yu Kingdom, when Zheng Wenqu led the troops to attack the capital of the Northern Yu Kingdom, he was still just a scholar, no cultivation, and no magic, and only one year after the destruction of the Northern Yu Kingdom, the Seven Kingdoms all fell, what happened in this year made a scholar become so strange and unpredictable It has become an unsolved case, and no one knows so far.
Lu Hong was about to put down the book, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the list of harem concubines recorded behind the national book of Beiyu Kingdom, and there was a line of small characters behind the list to record his life.
When he saw the record of "Concubine Chen, Wang Yu Zheng Diqiang rushed into the palace, Chen's chastity and fierceness, and the king loved him deeply, but Chen would rather die than serve the king, and the king would never touch his body for more than a month, the king was angry, the rod died, and the armor soldier was thrown into the well" The record he suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
It turned out that Miss Chen was robbed into the palace by force, and she would rather die than submit to the king of Beiyu, and after entering the palace for a month, she never let the king of Beiyu touch her body, so she angered the king, and was actually killed by a rod and then thrown into the well.
The previous nursery rhyme "digging three or two graves underground, and fishing for corpses at the bottom of the well in the middle of the night" is also talking about Zheng Wenqu?
After he led his troops to invade the country of Beiyu, he was shocked to learn that his lover was dead, and he went to the bottom of the well to salvage her body like crazy, so the bones he saw by the dry well in the dead wood forest before were all female corpses after being put together.
Imagine that Zheng Wenqu has been dormant for five years, his eyes are bloodshot every day, and all he thinks about every night is to kill the king of Beiyu, reunite with his lover, and finally break through the country of Beiyu only to learn the news of his lover's death, how miserable and desolate should it be?
Lu Hong has always been hard-hearted, but when he thinks of this, he can't help but feel sorry for Zheng Wenqu.
Turning her head, she saw Qing'er holding a book, her eyes were slightly red, her little nose twitched and she reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes, and Lu Hong realized that she was watching Zheng Di's opera "Mandarin Duck San".
Probably no matter what girl hears about Zheng Wenqu's story, she will cry for him.
"Brother Lu, master, the astrological record records that there was a great change in the celestial phenomena in the third month after the destruction of the country by Beiyu, dark clouds covered the sun, the heavenly dog ate the moon, yin and yang reversed, and the aura decreased sharply after ten days, until the Seven Kingdoms were destroyed and became a dead land",
Skylark Road.
Just now, Lu Hong checked the Beiyu State Book, and when Wuchen checked the records of Buddhism, he was checking the changes in the celestial phenomena recorded by the Beiyu historians, and what he found also made Lu Hong and Wuchen's hearts move.
"Sudden drop in aura?",
Lu Hong frowned and said: "Is it the same immortal curse as apricot blossoms, rice fragrance, and Zen Yin?"
The lark shook his head and said: "I can't be sure based on the records in the book alone, and there is still aura here, I can't detect the slightest reduction, I don't know what the reason is."
Lu Hong thought for a while and said: "I always feel that this place is inseparable from the curse of the Xianmen."
The lark nodded and said, "I also have this hunch",
"Jingle Bell",
"Jingle Bell .....",
Suddenly, a bell passed through the door and entered the room and came into the ears, the bell was not loud, and it was not very crisp and pleasant, but the sound wave contained a breathtaking magic, Lu Hong felt unstable after hearing the sound, and his heart was busy and calmed down.
The sound of the wind outside also stopped, and there was no longer the sound of the talisman being opened, and there was no longer the "squeak" of the temple door opening.
No one saw that at the end of West Street outside the door, in front of the rows of corpses wrapped in corpse cloth, there was a young man wearing a green shirt and a Confucian crown coming slowly, the dementor bell in his hand jingled, ringing lightly in the wind, he was covered with wind and dust, his face was thin, and a pair of narrow eyes carried the inexhaustible coldness and vicissitudes of life.
