It is rumored that in the pre-Qin period, there was an ancient country called Yeqiang in Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou, which was also called the ancient dung country by the ancients.

The area of this ancient country is only the size of a county, in a very closed state, tens of thousands of people claim to be a country, the people are conservative, brilliant and rich, plus there is no exchange with the outside world in the mountains, neither know that there is a Zhou Tianzi nor know that there are Spring and Autumn Kingdoms, do not know everything about the outside world, even themselves, are not recorded by any dynasty documents.

If there is no external strength of the enemy, this closed state can last for thousands of years, but, by chance, King Qin Huiwen sent arrogant soldiers to attack Shu, their country is located on the marching road, the whole people of the night dung country are only 100,000 people, and the total military strength of the night dung emperor is only 10,000, holding a vine machete, bone spear and stone stick, and there is no combat effectiveness at all.

For the generals of the Qin army, the brave soldiers of the Night Dung Country could not be called the enemy army, they were just a bandit gang, and it was not worth wasting armor and sword soldiers for them, so the Qin army sent a "messenger" into the Night Dung Country in the evening, asking the Wild Wolf Country to open its borders for them to borrow.

This night dung emperor claimed to be the king of the mountains and forests, the son of the gods, and in the face of this messenger's arrogance and rudeness, he bluntly said that the king of Qin should come to beg him in person in order to let the Qin army cross.

This kind of arrogant and rude request, anyone thinks it is ridiculous, the generals of the Qin army saw that they were stubborn, with 100,000 soldiers in front of the formation, pretending that the king of Qin set up a banquet to entertain the night dung royal family to the banquet, and when they arrived outside the national border, the Qin army had already stood in full force and stood on the hill, only with the military flag and drum to give orders, the roar of the brave general shook the sky, and the military discipline was strict.

Such a scene frightened the legs and feet of the night dung royal family, and they no longer dared to be arrogant and rude, and the night dung emperor looked like a villain, arched his hands to say good things to the generals of the Qin army, and bluntly said that they would have a night to clean up the borders and let them cross the border safely.

When the next day's time came, the Qin army was afraid of fraud in the country, so they first sent cavalry into the night dung country, thinking that the royal family of the night dung country would wait respectfully, but unexpectedly the whole country was empty, the city was empty, the city was empty, there were no people and no livestock, and it disappeared cleanly, and the bustling and lively night dung country had become full of coffins and corpses, as if the city was broken and the country was destroyed, and countless flying insects hid in the shadow of the broken walls, constantly gnawing on the bones.

If it is unlikely that they escaped, the Qin army is afraid that they will make it bad and have blocked the exit of the border, surrounded by mountains and steep and difficult to walk, once so many people escape, they will definitely not even be able to leave a little movement, later, some Qin army found that there are many flying insects on the border, dense flying insects cover the sky and the sun and hover in the air, and wait for the army to land at the border.

They didn't know where hundreds of thousands of people had gone, and when it was dark after the crossing, these generals looked back and saw that the night dung country had returned to its bustling and brightly lit state.

Some people say that they saw the ghost hitting the wall, and some people say that they broke into the mountain spirit country by mistake.

This ancient country is dressed so primitively, it is likely to be a barbarian remnant country that was defeated in ancient times, their people drink blood, mutilate living beings, because they are stubborn and unwilling to accept the education of Kyushu, they were relegated to the southwest by the emperor at that time and turned into a scaly horned dung insect that drinks blood.

This Wu Xian also bluntly said that fortunately, fortunately the Qin army did not cross the border, these night dung tribes need to forage for food at night, and any living people they encounter will use illusions to leave them in the Fang Kingdom as food, and the many corpses they see are left by countless agricultural and commercial travelers who have lost their lives in the mountains!

The so-called waiting for one night is just a trick to lure the enemy, once the Qin army can't hold back their curiosity and crosses the border at night, then these hundreds of thousands of Qin troops will become the food of the dung tribe, and their souls will also turn into dung dads, and they can only eat rotten meat and rotting insects for the rest of their lives, but they will be broken and killed by insect eggs in January.

The Qin army kept its promise and was a division of righteous military discipline, so that it could avoid such an unwarranted disaster, if it was a group of mountain bandits and homeless people, I am afraid that they would have been gnawed clean now.

This story was included in the folklore of Shu and recorded in the tombs of the princes of Shu, in order to praise the Heavenly Way of King Qin to destroy Shu.

After Yue Qingshan finished telling the whole story, everyone listened to it with relish, and Song Siyuan said: "How can such a thing as a ground dung leave such a legend?" Can anyone really change from night to day into worm? ”

"Daughter, this kind of folk myth is mostly nonsense, what can be passed down must have its purpose, just to fool the people, once the people smooth out the chord in their hearts, they will not resist the rule."

Song Siyuan's thoughts are the same as Yue Qingshan's, the myths and legends often reflect historical events, combined with the record of King Qin Huiwen's destruction of Bashu, she seems to have figured out the truth: "I understand, the Qin army is likely to have encountered a destroyed city on the way, which is full of corpses and dappera, in order to occupy the righteousness of heaven, they made up such a story." ”

"There is no distinction between the witches and gods of Shu, and the king of Shu is also the high priest of Shu, their purpose is to tell the people of Shu that the king of Qin is favored by heaven and brings the education to ancient Shu, in order to benefit the people, even the mountain spirit country has to make way for the king's teacher, you can be the people of the king of Qin with peace of mind, as for the royal family of the king of Shu in the ancient tree, as long as they do not resist the education, they will not be moved, and it is still okay to give a happy marquis to live for a long time!"
