Chapter 749: Proverbial Riddles
"But!"
Sun Daqiao's eyes rolled wildly: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, no one has a quasi-leader, if you want me to say, you should figure out the matter of the rat fairy worshipping the moon first." ”
"Second uncle, didn't you say that the corpses all have the guise of the Golden Rat Society? If these methods of killing people are the same as those of the Golden Rat Society, can they be determined by killing people? ”
Yue Guanchao looked very carefully just now, there was indeed a totem with a round head and a fat brain in the neck of the corpse, since it had been determined that it was the people of the Golden Rat Society who were making ghosts, it meant that it was the people of the Golden Rat Society who did the evil, and the killing method was so special, it was impossible to have no clues.
Yue Qingshan shook his head, his face was quite ugly: "The Golden Rat will be an inverted team and not a bandit, so I don't dare to kill people and oversell goods at all, this Golden Rat Totem is only used to brighten the vines, and will not use the totem on the Drifter." ”
"So far, I can only be sure that it was done by the people of the Golden Rat Society in the past, and I don't know anything about the killing methods they used, besides, even if these people really use the killing methods of the Golden Rat Society, in the past twenty years, they have long been changed to lose their appearance, and it is too difficult to find the real murderer by relying on this."
"Then, you can only listen to Sun Daqiao's words first, and check it out from the rat fairy worshipping the moon." 33
Yue Qingshan nodded at everyone: "There are still three days left before the full moon, so we just took this opportunity to visit our old friends." ”
"Old friends? You also have old friends in Yueyang. ”
Yue Guanchao became curious, urging the second uncle to reveal the identity of his old friend.
"If I'm not mistaken, this Golden Daoist is probably the Golden Daoist I knew when I was young."
This made the people around him curious, and Sun Daqiao looked at him with strange eyes: "Brother Yue, are you referring to the time when we were young, when we went to Yueyang to rob the tomb of the prince of Chu State?" ”
"Yes!"
Sun Daqiao said this, which pulled everyone's curiosity, Yue Guanchao said: "You two don't hide it, hurry up and tell me what the origin is, maybe you can ask for help or something." ”
Sun Daqiao thought for a moment, pretended to stroke his beard mysteriously and said, "Speaking of which, we still listened to Jin Daochang's words and escaped the catastrophe......
A few decades ago, after several years of development, the Golden Rat Club has accumulated a lot of good reputation in the rivers and lakes by digging graves and digging graves, robbing the poor and helping the rich.
Because the golden rat will have the rule of the rat fairy to give gold, but if the mausoleum is dug up to find the treasure, it must be given to the people nearby, for them, the golden rat will come, which means that the tomb of the powerful and wealthy gentry will suffer, and they can also get rid of it and make a small profit by relying on the rat fairy's gold.
The golden rat will come to Yueyang in the dust, completely because of a smooth slip in the rivers and lakes: the river demon in the town under the White Fish Tower, the sleeping dragon king in Dongting Lake, the high-rise buildings in Yueyang City, and the prince buried on Kamakura Mountain.
Yue Qingshan didn't know who this sentence came from, and he didn't know how long it had been circulating, only that the local beggar children and jugglers all knew this sentence, and even a three-year-old doll could be catchy.
It stands to reason that the things mentioned in the words are not related, and they can be accumulated together and compiled into proverbs, which completely represent the four legends of the Yueyang realm.
It is rumored that the white tower with a spire of about dozens of zhang high in Yueyang Lake is because it suppresses the thousand-year-old turtle inside, this old turtle is as big as a carriage, the foot is terrifying, and the tortoise shell is full of thorns.
One day, this thousand-year-old turtle angered the dragon king in Dongting Lake, and the dragon king broke his horn in anger and turned into a white tower, completely suppressing the old turtle under the tower.
This Dongting Lake Dragon King also broke off his horns and scattered all his ways, transforming into a hornless dragon, always sleeping at the bottom of the lake, guarding the white fish tower transformed into its horns.
Together, these two things are the river demon in the town under the White Fish Tower, and the sleeping dragon king in Dongting Lake.
As for the high-rise buildings in Yueyang City, it refers to Yueyang Tower.
If there is any building in Yueyang City that is the oldest, it must be counted Yueyang Tower, the ancient Yueyang Tower is not a long time or a long enough age, but has gone through several dynasties, repeatedly destroyed and built, and is always new.
Since the Eastern Han Dynasty Jian'an year for the first time to repair Yueyang Tower, this pavilion as if it was chosen by heaven has always stood in front of Dongting Lake, even if it was burned down by lightning and fire several times, it can still be renovated and rebuilt in the era of peace, the latest repair, have reached the first year of Emperor Xu.
Standing on the shore of the lake for nearly two thousand years, many people have rumored that this Yueyang Tower is actually born to suppress the water monsters and demons in the lake, every time it is burned, it is because the water demons in Dongting Lake want to break through the town and attract external forces to destroy Yueyang Tower, if Yueyang Tower is really burned, then the water monsters in Dongting Lake will no longer be stopped.
Under the influence of this legend, let Yueyang Tower remain intact, it has become the responsibility of Yueyang's parents and officials in all dynasties, whenever Yueyang Tower is destroyed, someone will rebuild Yueyang Tower, if the emperor ascends the throne or changes the dynasty, and even overhauls Yueyang Tower, in order to tell the world, the new emperor loves the people like a son.
It can be said that Yueyang Tower has become the oldest brand of Yueyang City, as long as Yueyang Tower is there, no matter how many wars, destruction and reconstruction of Yueyang City, you can find the original memory and re-find the dusty thousand-year history.
The last prince buried on Kamakura Mountain, this prince refers to the prince of Chu, as for the name of the prince of Chu, it has long been impossible to test, at present, it is rumored in the market that this prince was once killed by traitors in his mother country, and had to go away, after he left, the traitors each supported the princes who were in line with their interests to compete for power, and wanted to let their favorite princes succeed to become the monarch.
The old monarch knew all this well, and knew that the exiled prince was not around, so he deliberately instigated these princes to fight among themselves, until these princes were defeated, and then secretly notified the prince to come back to succeed to the throne.
In the end, the prince was lucky to escape the assassination of the traitors and returned to China, the old monarch knew that this matter was furious, and all the traitors who killed him were raided and destroyed, which can be regarded as avenging the prince, but although the prince came back, he was also injured by the assassination of the minister, and died within two years.
The old monarch was so sad that he had to register the prince as the prince, bury him with generous gifts, and at the same time set up the prince's descendants as the new prince.
The place where the prince was buried was Kamakura Mountain outside Yueyang City.
This story is not named, and it is the story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, everything is not verifiable, only know that the old monarch felt sorry for the early death of the prince, and built a tomb for the prince as the monarch, and buried gold and silver treasures in it, so that he could maintain the dignity of the monarch.
The Golden Rat Club went to Yueyang this time to excavate the tomb of the prince of Chu, but the Kamakura Mountain was large and rugged, and they didn't know how to find it, so they had to pin their hopes on the local people, and relying on the descriptions of these people, they barely determined that the tomb of Chu was on the top of Kamakura Mountain.
On the day of the grave digging, the members of the Golden Rat Society took the guy to Kamakura Mountain, and met a young Taoist priest who was driven by a tiger and wolf on the way.
Seeing the young Taoist fairy wind bones, they don't look like a chicken foot Taoist who is abducted and deceived, and after thinking about it, they decided to save the life of the Taoist priest, skinned the tiger and ate the meat, dug the bones and cramped, and returned to the west with a soul.
The young Taoist priest thought that he would definitely die, but after being saved, in order to repay their kindness, he decided to use Yishu to divinate a hexagram for them.
The results of the hexagram show that what they are going to do this time is very fierce, and they must be prepared to go and have no return, Yue Qingshan didn't believe it at first, but after digging up the tomb of the prince of Chu in Kamakura Mountain, he saw that the entourage helped countless casualties, so he believed the words of the young Taoist priest and put his mind to dig the tomb of the prince of Chu.
Afterwards, Yue Qingshan and the others were seriously injured, and when they came down the mountain, they were forced to enter the temple of mercy and grace on the side of the Kamakura mountain, and met the young Taoist priest again.
At this moment, Yue Qingshan knew that what the young Taoist priest said was a sincere teaching, and under all kinds of chagrin, he made a heart to the young Taoist priest, and bluntly said that they were the helpers of the Golden Rat Society, and the young Taoist priest had always known that the Golden Rat would rob the rich and help the poor, and saw that Yue Qingshan saved his life again, so he had a sense of heroism and cherished the hero.
The hexagram shows that the mountains and rivers are restored, the road ahead is about to be exhausted, used in the hidden dragon, and each scattered home, which means that there is no road in front of the Golden Rat Club, and if you want to survive, you must completely stop the drums, break up the group, and save your life.
Most of the Golden Rat Society sect members did not agree with this divination result, but in view of the young Taoist priest's clever calculation, they did not dare not take it seriously, so Yue Qingshan had to continue to ask the young Taoist priest what his intentions were, and why he let him disband the sect members at the peak of the Golden Rat Society.
The young Taoist priest did not lie, and bluntly said that the more famous the Golden Rat Society is, the more it will be boiling oil and flowers, and it seems that the momentum is violent, but it is the end of the crossbow, so take this opportunity to disband the sect and escape from the pass, so as not to cause trouble in the future.
As for what kind of calamity it is, the young Taoist priest only let them see the peace and chaos.
At that time, the Taiping army had been completely wiped out, and even the remnants were cut down by the trial bureau in Xiangdi, Yue Qingshan walked in Yueyang for many days, and really felt the wind in Xiangdi, and also knew that the government was dealing with the problems left over from the past, and even began to beckon to suppress the civil unrest and remove the remnants.
The situation, if it is really as the young Taoist priest said, the end of the strong crossbow and the return to the light, just wait for the government to free up their hands, and they will completely die down.
Yue Qingshan, Sun Daqiao, and Chao Bingzhong were like a great enemy, and after discussion, they decided to divide the money and dissolve the Golden Rat Society.
Some people died, but not completely......
