In the cold winter, heavy snow falls. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time of year, almost every household closes its doors and rarely comes out and walks around.

But today, the bulletin board at the gate of Yuanfeng City was full of people, pointing to a notice that had just been posted.

Lin Ye was shivering in a thin green shirt, with a yellowed paper "Jingyi" pinned to his waist, and the rag shoes under his feet stepped on the creaking snow, and he saw the group of people around the city gate from a distance, and Lin Ye also curiously came over to see the excitement.

"After the eldest lady of the Dong Mansion came back from hunting, her eyes suddenly became dull and delirious, and her body was as weak as cartilage. What kind of strange disease is this? The old man of the Dong Mansion actually rewarded 500 taels of silver for medical treatment, could it be said that none of the medical centers in the city could cure this strange disease?"

Standing on his toes, Lin Ye barely read the words on the notice. Touching the only two copper coins left in the broken purse on his waist, Lin Ye sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know how to treat diseases, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about this winter." ”

After watching the excitement for a while, knowing that this matter had nothing to do with him, Lin Ye walked through the crowd and sneaked to a dilapidated land temple in the city.

"I heard that a hundred years ago, Daxia was a Taoist kingdom, and it was not like our Great Qin who used the clan feudal system to govern the people, but built land temples and city god temples everywhere to govern the world. The people used incense and candles to worship, and the incense burned day and night. As a result, a thick layer of fragrant wax is often accumulated in front of the table. If you can have a warm night tonight, you will have to rely on the incense wax on the altar of the land temple in front of you......"

Lin Ye cautiously slipped into the Land Temple, which was already covered with ash, and the dilapidated idol fell to the ground, even the roof was full of holes, and there was a thick layer of snow on it, maybe it would collapse at some point.

This land temple should have been a long time since anyone came in, but Lin Ye didn't smell the sour and rotten smell of the old house at all, but instead revealed a faint fragrance in the air.

"Huh, this is the smell of incense candles!"

Smelling this strange fragrance, Lin Ye's heart was pleasantly surprised, it seemed that his guess was correct, and he immediately found the position of the offering platform and pulled it up,

"Legend has it that the incense candles of the former Great Xia were very different from the current ones, and they were made of special materials. After the incense is lit, the people can state their demands and grievances to the local Chenghuang land, and then the land lord or Chenghuang Ye may appear to make decisions for them. This Taoist Divine Kingdom is a bit miraculous, but how could such a magical Great Xia Dynasty suddenly collapse in the end!"

At that time, the Great Qin Wuguo was the king of the world, and it had been more than a hundred years. After four generations of martial emperors' hard work, with a strong force to deter the United States, the surrounding Fanbang countries have surrendered, the four seas have been peaceful, and all countries have come to court.

However, although the Great Qin established the country by force, after the establishment of the Central Plains, it vigorously promoted the education of reading and opened up the imperial examination system, so that the wise and insightful scholars could govern the country in front of the court. Therefore, this gave Lin Ye, a poor orphan with no father and mother, the only hope to get ahead.

"Poor study, rich martial arts. My body is weak, and I need a lot of nutrients and meat to practice martial arts, not to mention that the imperial court now strictly controls the martial arts classics, if ordinary people do not join the army and enter the martial arts hall, where can they obtain the classics for martial arts training? Therefore, studying and taking the imperial examination is my only way out. Stay up again, I'll be sixteen years old after this winter, and I'll definitely be able to pass the spring children's test!"

His fingers were frozen, and Lin Ye had to fold his hands together and exhale. Peeling off the thick dust on the offering table, and sure enough, seeing a thick layer of fragrant wax piled up and solidified on it, Lin Ye couldn't wait to find a broken tile and scrape off the fragrant wax on it layer by layer.

"With these scented waxes, I finally don't have to freeze tonight. ”

Looking at the half-human-tall incense wax piled up on the ground, Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Great Xia a hundred years ago was indeed prosperous and prosperous, and the incense was prosperous!

For the previous Great Xia, Lin Ye has always been full of curiosity. It's a pity that after the founding of the Great Qin, the books and canons were revised and compiled, and almost all the content about Daxia was deleted from all kinds of historical books, only saying that this was a cruel tyranny that relied on Taoist priests and demons to bewitch the people's hearts, and was finally replaced by the Great Qin that conformed to the will of heaven and the people.

However, Lin Ye knew that this was definitely not the truth of history, at least, not the whole truth. The more books he reads, the more accessible Lin Ye's thoughts and thoughts become, and the more he is able to distinguish between right and wrong. Therefore, he knew that most of the few records about Great Xia in the history books were the foolish tactics of the imperial court.

"If Great Xia is really a cruel tyranny, how can it stand for a thousand years? If Great Xia is really cruel and unkind to the common people, how can it be that even such a small land temple has such a flourishing incense?"

Although the Land Temple is dilapidated and depressed, judging from the various traces that are still preserved after a hundred years, Lin Ye can imagine how many people came to the Land Temple to worship and burn incense.

"Most of the changes of dynasties are like this, the king is defeated and the victor often holds the spring and autumn pen of writing history books and falsifying history. After thousands of years of more than a dozen dynasties, I don't know how much of the history books I see now are true. How many successes and failures have risen and fallen in ancient and modern times, and in the end, they have all been put into the dust of history?"

Since he was a child, he has been frugal and has copied books, bought books and read books, but Lin Ye has a better understanding of things than ordinary people.

But what's the use of this? Lin Ye smiled bitterly and laughed at himself: "It's been hundreds of years since the fall of the previous dynasty, so why should I, a little boy who can't even eat enough, sigh with emotion?

Retracting his cranky curiosity, Lin Ye continued to use the broken tiles to pull the dilapidated offering platform, but he didn't want to suddenly, the broken tiles did not hold it firmly and smashed on the surface of the offering platform, making a clanging sound.

"Huh, is that a voice...... Is the inside of the offering table hollow?"

Hearing this sound, Lin Ye knocked on the almost scraped offering platform with his hand again, and found that the cloud granite offering platform that looked very the outside was indeed hollow inside.

"Is it really hollow? Could it be that there is something hidden inside?"

After discovering this secret, Lin Ye hurriedly found half a brick from the side of the broken temple, and with all his strength, smashed it fiercely towards the surface of the cloud granite that was offered to the platform.

One time, two times...... Bang!

"It's smashed! There's something hidden inside. Let me see what kind of treasure it is, so tightly hidden!"

Seeing that there was really something else in the offering platform, Lin Ye was surprised, and hurriedly reached inside and took out all the treasures hidden in it.

"A book, and a little black ding?"

didn't catch the gold and silver ingots, Lin Ye was a little disappointed. The black tripod looks dirty and shouldn't be worth much. However, the ancient book wrapped in kraft paper made Lin Ye's eyes shine.

Since this ancient book is hidden in the offering platform of the land temple of the previous dynasty, it is impossible for it to be tampered with by the scribes of this dynasty, and it is very likely that it is some records about the Taoist divine kingdom of Daxia. In this way, the book can be considered a banned book. If I accidentally bump into someone reading a forbidden book here, it will be troublesome, anyway, the incense wax is enough for me for several nights, so I'll go home first!"

Lin Ye, who was very interested in the Great Xia Dynasty, couldn't wait to open the kraft paper and open this ancient book from a hundred years ago. However, all books on Taoism and the Great Xia Dynasty were listed as banned by the imperial court. If they are discovered, they will be exiled for 3,000 miles, or their heads will fall to the ground.

Therefore, Lin Ye could only hold back his curiosity for the time being, put away the ancient books and the black little ding, and then carried a sack of fragrant wax, and quickly returned to his dilapidated small hut while there was no one on the street.

"Persona of Boqing?"

As soon as he got home and locked the door, Lin Ye couldn't wait to open this ancient book, Lin Ye's thin yellow face showed a knowing smile, and his two eyes emitted a blazing light, what was recorded in this book was exactly what he longed to know.

It turned out that this was a record of what he had seen and heard written by a wandering Taoist priest named Xu Boqing in the previous dynasty, which recorded all kinds of strange things he encountered during his travels, and many of them were now forbidden for the people to talk about and spread the content, such as legends such as gods and ghosts.

According to the teachings of the sages compiled and abridged by the imperial court, there is no god or ghost in the world. Heaven and earth are big, and we are the spirit of all things, the length of heaven and earth. However, in this Xu Boqing's Persona, so many legends about gods and ghosts are recorded conclusively......"

Lin Ye flipped through this "Persona of Boqing", and couldn't help but look into the gods, and the many legends recorded in it made him refreshed, as if opening a door to a new world.

"Man is made up of three souls and seven spirits? What is the way to say this? Can a human soul be lost? Strange! Strange......

Lin Ye watched it with relish, but he was suddenly deeply attracted by one of the allusions to "The Bride Lost Her Soul". This allusion says that there is such a custom in Huihong Mansion in Qingzhou, where a bride from other places must hold a treasure vase and contain five grains before she is allowed to enter the city gate.

No one knows how this custom came about and what it does, but because it is a rule passed down from generation to generation, everyone follows it. However, one of the brides of the Liang clan ignored this custom and threw away the vase containing grains before entering the city gate.

As a result, after the bride of the Liang family entered the city gate, she suddenly became unconscious, stupid and stupid, and her body was like cartilage without the slightest strength. Suddenly, the people in the husband's family were in a hurry, so they hurriedly took the stupid bride to the land temple to light nineteen incense candles and begged.

After the incense candles are burned out, the statue of the god of the land will appear and speak, and ask the bride's husband to scrape a little incense ash from the altar and mix it with the water, and feed it to the bride to drink. After a while, the bride regained the ability to speak, but her eyes were still stupid, and she still did not have the slightest strength in her body, and reluctantly said what happened.

It turned out that because she didn't hold the treasure bottle and grains when she entered the city, I don't know why when she was at the city gate, she lost two souls out of the three souls. The heavenly soul floated on the city tower, and the earth soul fell at the gate of the city, hoping that the husband's family would quickly take the treasure bottle and grains, and take advantage of the fact that the two souls did not dissipate, and quickly take back the two souls. As soon as she finished speaking, the bride became stupid again.

Knowing what happened, the husband's family hurriedly followed the words, and sure enough, the bride's three souls returned to one, and the illness was cured. After the news spread, when the people of Huihong Mansion married their wives, they all told the brides from other places to remember to enter the door with the treasure bottle and grains.

At that time, Xu Boqing happened to visit his friend Fang Chongcheng, who served as the land lord here, and recorded the incident. Lin Ye saw Xu Boqing behind the story and deliberately commented:

"There are three souls and seven souls. The soul is the soul of heaven, the soul of the earth and the soul of life, and the soul is the seven spirits of Tianchong, Linghui, strength, qi, essence, Ying and the center. The Heavenly Soul Palm Tianchong and the Spirit Wisdom are two spirits, the main Spirit is wise and intelligent, and if you lose it, you will be stupid and unspeakable. The main force of the earth soul is two spirits, the main body is strong, and if it is lost, the body is like cartilage and cannot move. The soul is the foundation of a person, the second soul of the elite, the reproduction life of the master, and the loss of it is a life!"

The story of "The Bride Lost Her Soul" is novel and interesting, and Lin Ye has never heard of it, especially the brief annotation behind Xu Boqing, which opened a new door for Lin Ye.

"Do people really have three souls and seven spirits? Why did the bride in the story wake up briefly after eating a little incense ash from the Earth Temple, and still be able to tell her husband's family exactly where the heavenly and earth souls she had lost were......? This story seems a little familiar, right...... The notice of the Dong family at the gate of the city, the young lady of the Dong family's sudden strange illness, seems to be almost inseparable from this soulless bride?"

Thinking of the notice that the Dong family had offered a reward for seeking medical treatment at the city gate, Lin Ye suddenly said in surprise, "Could it be that the eldest lady of the Dong family has also lost her soul?"
