03 Reversing the original meaning
When Xie Yixiang heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head slightly. The rich bandit in the story of the pen and the fun www.biquge.info is naturally the leader of the rebel army who fought with the emperor of this dynasty for the world. You must know that even after the dynasty dominated the world, there were still many people in Jiangnan who rejected the current court because they missed the kindness of Li Jiusi, and even called the emperor of this dynasty 'old man'. If Yan Sidao is true at this moment, he can't imagine that the true face behind Li Jiusi is so fierce and brutal.
But he didn't think so, and continued: "However, since that big turtle is the god of the lake in this Poyang Lake, how can he be willing to die at the hands of the bandits? You must know that the giant fleet of the rich bandits was originally arrayed in the west of Poyang Lake, and on the night of the big turtle's death, a southeast wind that is rare in a century blew on Poyang Lake overnight, blowing all the huge ships of the rich bandits. Whenever later generations mentioned this incident, they all said that this was the soul of the god of Poyang Lake coming back for revenge, which was why Mr. Qingtian followed the example of the former Zhou Gongjin, and when the southeast wind rose, a fire burned all the ships and fleets of the rich bandits......"
Xie Yixiang couldn't bear it any longer, interrupted him and asked: "These rumors in the market are full of flaws, they are really nonsense, and you still have a serious account." Let's ask if the two armies fought fiercely on Poyang Lake, it was the critical moment of your life and death, the battle was very tragic, and the rich thieves ...... How can that traitor have the time to forge any big iron ball?" her face became more and more ugly, and she asked, "This is the third time that you have broken into my dream, but you are just trying to tell such a nonsense?"
Yan Sidao smiled faintly and said, "I have already said that this story is a fictional rumor, and it can't be true, but it has nothing to do with what happened afterward. Now that you know that the emperor once decreed to build a 'Lao Ye Temple' on the shore of Poyang Lake, then you can imagine that since ancient times, the construction of temples has always had only one purpose, that is, to worship the gods. Isn't the homonym of 'old turtle'?"
Xie Yixiang was stunned for a long time when she said this, and secretly muttered to herself: "Master...... The old turtle ......" and then she asked with some hesitation: "The emperor really has a will, saying that he wants to build such a temple?"
Yan Sidao nodded and said, "Exactly." The so-called 'Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Chaos Beast, Yin Soldier Dance', in fact, the first three sentences are only about one thing, that is, the emperor ordered to build a temple on the shore of Poyang Lake, but because he encountered a miraculous thing, he had to give up this decision. So this so-called 'old man's temple', in the end, was not built after all. ”
Xie Yixiang couldn't help but recall that Qu Baoshu, the former head of the Chaoyin Cave that day, had also explained these four sentences to himself, but it was not quite consistent with the statement of Yan Sidao at this time, but they all mentioned that the emperor ordered the construction of the "Old Man Temple". Xie Yixiang corroborated the two statements with each other, and immediately asked, "Then according to what you say, how can the Chaos Beast explain it?"
Yan Sidao couldn't help laughing, and said: "The old turtle's rescue is already a fictional thing, and the world is trying to exaggerate it with false rumors. It is necessary to know that this story is already ridiculous, but there are good people who believe in it, and even verify it, saying that there was no turtle in Jiangxi, according to the appearance of the monster described in the story, it should be the ancient divine beast 'Chaos', also known as the Dijiang, so it will recognize people and things, and make a rescue move. So later, there was a saying that the old turtle was changed to 'Chaos', and it was called 'Chaos Beast'. ”
Xie Yixiang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's not right at all." As far as I know, the four sentences of 'Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, and Chaos Beast' refer to the four strange things that happened in the area of Poyang Lake, which correspond to the shipwreck on Poyang Lake for no reason, the emperor's unsuccessful repair of Lao Ye Temple, the borrowing of grain by the Yin soldiers in Nanchang, and the fog of swallowing people, which are very different from what you say. ”
Yan Sidao also shook his head and said, "It's a big mistake, the first order is wrong. He explained solemnly: "As I said before, there are too many false things in the world, which has caused many misunderstandings and lost their original meaning. I also know a little bit about the version you mentioned, which is to break down these four sentences and explain them separately, and then correspond to four different supernatural things, and these things do exist. But if you think about it carefully, should the order of these four sentences be 'Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Chaos Beast, Yin Soldier Dance', or 'Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, Yin Soldier Dance, Chaos Beast'?"
Xie Yixiang listened carefully, and couldn't help but say, "What's the difference? Isn't it just that the 'Chaos Beast' and the 'Yin Soldier Dance' have swapped places. ”
Yan Sidao's eyes lit up, and he immediately smiled: "Of course it matters, you must know that these rumors have a common law, that is, no matter what kind of paragraph it is, the focus is on the last sentence." Take these four sentences, if the last sentence is 'Chaos Beast', then the function of the first three sentences is to lead to the last 'Chaos Beast', but the fact is that this so-called 'Chaos Beast' has no substantive meaning at all, so according to this interpretation, it naturally can't be explained. The only way to do this is to separate these four sentences so that they refer to the four supernatural things, which would obscure the original meaning of the sentence. ”
When Xie Yixiang heard this, he felt that Yan Sidao's words could be believed, because the time when this sentence began to circulate corresponds to the missing account of the year in the yamen of Chilong Town, which happened to be eleven years ago, and it also happened to be the year when the emperor ordered to repair the temple failed. At that moment, she couldn't help frowning and pondering, and said tentatively: "Then as you said, the correct order should naturally be 'Yin Soldier Dance' at the end? From this point of view, if the first three sentences of 'Poyang Lake, Lao Ye Temple, and Chaos Beast' are talking about the story of Lao Yuan's rescue, then its purpose is to lead to the conclusion of 'Yin Soldier Dance'? If this 'Yin Soldier Dance' refers to the 'Yin Soldier Dance' that happened in Nanchang, what is it?"
Yan Sidao sneered: "Naturally not. This 'Yin Soldier Dance' refers to the 'Yin Soldiers' who have been hiding in the area of Poyang Lake. Therefore, these four sentences are connected in series, in fact, they have broken the mystery, that is, to tell the world that behind the series of miraculous things that the old turtle on Poyang Lake rescued and drove that day, it was actually these 'yin soldiers' who were secretly doing trouble. As for the reason why the world calls them 'Yin Soldiers', it is indeed due to their origins - it is said that these 'Yin Soldiers' are from a place called 'Hades'. ”
Xie Yixiang has been thinking about the series of unsolvable mysteries of Poyang Lake all the time, but she has never gained much. Now after listening to Yan Sidao's words, he suddenly remembered that Mayor Wu had said that he would go to the "underworld" with him, and from this point of view, this so-called "underworld" naturally refers to the place where this mysterious force lives. And why is their dwelling called "Hades"?
Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but think of the scene on Longyue Island in Dongting Lake in the past......
At that time, he followed Zhuang Haoming to the Yubi Peak of Longyue Island, and Jiang Wangcai, the lord of Dongting Lake, insisted that the military salary of the imperial court was lost in Poyang Lake...... Could it be ......" Jiang Wangcai immediately interrupted him and said, "Since Brother Zhuang knows about Poyang Lake, the junior brother doesn't have to bother much. Since this matter has implicated the gods in Poyang Lake, although everyone depends on the lake for a living, it is inconvenient for me to intervene in Dongting Lake anymore, and I ask Brother Zhuang to understand. ”
In retrospect, when Zhuang Haoming and Jiang Wangcai mentioned these four sentences, they both put the "Yin Soldier Dance" at the end, but Qu Baoshu's explanation of himself before was a false rumor on the rivers and lakes. According to Yan Sidao's explanation at this moment, the conversation between Zhuang Haoming and Jiang Wangcai that day had already determined that the root cause of the robbery of military salaries was that these "Yin soldiers" in Poyang Lake were doing it.
For a while, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but blurt out, "Who are these 'Yin soldiers'?"
Yan Sidao seemed to be a little surprised by her question, and asked rhetorically, "You came to ask me who these 'Yin Soldiers' are, haven't you already dealt with them several times?"
