Chapter 1: Young Chu Ge
The land of China.
In the rich land of Jingzhou, on the outskirts of the small city of Cangshan five hundred miles away from the Yingdu of Chu, there is a hill, on which the golden rice swaying in the wind, showing the breath of a good harvest, and the people who work in the fields and ridges also have smiles on their faces, and sing the joy in their hearts with the beautiful song of the Chu people.
"It's really a good harvest year, and it seems that this winter will be a lot more lively. ”
Beside the field path, among the branches of a big tree, lay a half-grown child, who was richly dressed and had a handsome face, but he revealed a non-childlike wisdom between his eyebrows and eyes. At the same time, there is a mutton fat jade plate tied around his waist, on which the hollow carving of the word 'song' sets off his elegance.
What a merry boy.
That is, he, looking at the people working enthusiastically below, muttered to himself with joy.
His name is Chu Ge, and all the land in his vision at this moment, including the people who are working, is their family's property, and this continuous hill is also the boundary of their family, with thousands of acres of fertile land and countless chickens and sheep.
It's just that his father's surname is Huang, but his surname is not Chu, and the luxury villa not far away is also called Huangjiazhuang.
Cangcheng is named because it is backed by Cangshan Mountain, but the city is not big, and it is also known as Cangshan Town. However, because it is not far from Ying, it is the only way to go to Yingdu, so businessmen from the south and north will choose to stop and rest in Cangshan Town, which leads to the extraordinary prosperity of Cangshan Town.
Huang Yuanwai in Huangjiazhuang, in the entire Cangshan small town, are well-known good people, and everyone respects them.
It's a pity that the sky has no eyes, and Old Man Huang has been kind and charitable all his life, but in the end, he has passed the age of old age, and he still hasn't got a son and a half daughter. But the curtain fell from the sky, eight years ago, on the night of the full moon on March 15, and it coincided with the birthday of Emperor Chu and the day of amnesty for the world, but a baby boy fell from the sky in front of the old man Huang's study, and the baby's belongings, in addition to swaddling, were only the hollow carved 'song' word mutton fat jade plate.
The old man Huang was overjoyed and thought that this was an auspicious fortune from heaven, so he adopted him as a son, and took the name of Chu as his surname, and called it Chu Ge after the word 'song' on the mutton fat jade.
However, the fact that Chu Ge is not the son of Old Man Huang is not known to outsiders except inside and outside Huangjiazhuang.
......
The sun was warm, Chu Ge couldn't help falling asleep in the tree, and he dreamed back to his hometown again, to the hometown called the earth.
In his sleep, he waved goodbye to his parents and his sister, who was as cute and playful as an elf, and waved goodbye to them with a smile:
"Oh, don't be reluctant to me, I'm just going for a year, although the mountains are all kinds of inconvenient, but it's not a poor mountain and bad water, and after a year, I have successfully completed the task of teaching in the poor mountainous areas, and when I come back, I will guard you every day, food to open your mouth, clothes to stretch your hands, annoying you to death. ”
But what Chu Ge didn't expect was that the goodbye became eternal.
"Childe, Childe, where are you, hurry back, the master is returning from the banquet, and the master is complaining to the master. ”
On the path in the field, the maid Yulan ran in a hurry, and her slightly anxious voice also woke up Chu Ge in her sleep. When he opened his eyes, he was stunned for two seconds, and after he knew that this was no longer the earth of his previous life, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and muttered to himself: I dreamed back to my hometown again.
But soon, he put away his sad emotions, saw the right time, jumped down from the tree, and landed right in front of Yulan, so frightened that she hurriedly stopped her body, and exclaimed:
"Oh, Childe, when is it, you're still scary, if you accidentally hurt you, it's a big deal for Magnolia. ”
Yulan, Chu Ge's maid, because she was smart and clever, was chosen by Chu Ge's mother, Chen Xin, at the age of seven to accompany Chu Ge to grow up with him and take care of him. In the blink of an eye, Yulan, who was also a young child back then, has now grown into a fifteen-year-old girl with cloud temples. In the past eight years, Chu Ge has been with her day and night, but often in a trance, he mistook her for his sister in his previous life. But his eight-year-old figure had just reached Magnolia's chest.
After Yulan finished speaking, and then without waiting for Chu Ge to speak, she directly picked him up by the waist and galloped back from the original road, while at the same time kept telling Chu Ge:
"Childe, after meeting the master for a while, you will tell the master that you are not feeling well, and you suffered a little cold last night, so you didn't go to listen to the gentleman's lecture, you must not say that you sneaked out to bask in the sun, otherwise, the master will really break your ass this time." ”
Eight-year-old Chu Ge, although he was thin and weak, still had a weight of fifty catties, but Yulan hugged him, not only did not struggle, but also walked like flying, and in just a moment, he returned to Huangjiazhuang at the foot of the mountain.
Holding Chu Ge through the stacked courtyard, Yulan came directly to the study, and then she gently put Chu Ge down. At this moment, there was a crisp sound in the study, and a roll of bamboo slips was thrown to the ground by Old Man Huang angrily, followed by his angry shouts:
"Son, don't hurry up and get in, and Yulan, you shielded Chu Ge to skip school together, guilty of negligence, you go to Huang An to receive the punishment. ”
Hearing that Master Huang was furious, Yulan didn't dare to say a word, just simply sorted out the folds on Chu Ge's shirt, and gave him a look of self-begging, and then left in a hurry.
But Chu Ge was unmoved, still smiling, without too much worry, he had already experienced such a battle many times.
He looked down at the clothes on his body, and saw that it had been sorted out by Yulan, Chu Ge shook his arms, and walked into the study with a smile, but there was no trace of green and ignorance on his childish face, but it revealed a kind of graceful and beautiful son's bearing, and the jade plate on his waist made him even more elegant.
A gentleman should be like a jade, but he is young.
The old man Huang in the study, whose real name is Huang Yuan, is now over eighty years old, but there is no trace of old age on his face, his body is strong, even his hair is black and thick, when he speaks, his voice is as thick as a bell, and he is even more vigorous when he walks.
Gazing at Chu Ge who walked into the study, he saw that his son was very graceful, which made Huang Yuan's eyes shine with a strange brilliance.
Chu Ge stopped when he came to Huang Yuan, and then 'pounced', knelt directly on his knees, and said in a tone full of grievances:
"Don't worry, daddy, the child is not sincere to skip school, but the so-called Mr. is not worthy of the name, I have learned what should be learned, but not what should be learned, I don't want to listen to half a sentence, I am afraid that after learning those crooked theories, I have since become a mediocre talent, when I grow up, I will mislead the country and the people, and the lower will mislead the children. ”
Chu Ge's defense made Huang Yuanqi laugh angrily:
"Xiao'er, you are really ignorant, do you know that Mr. Qingfeng is a famous Confucian, how can he be a mediocre talent? If you can't explain the slightest reason, then you will be confined for three days, and you are not allowed to eat half a grain of water and rice during this period. ”
But Chu Ge had already made up his mind, and said directly:
"The Tao Te Ching has a saying that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. The meaning of this sentence is that governing the country and the people is like stir-frying and cooking, not only the main ingredients, but also various auxiliary materials and ingredients that complement each other. Although Mr. Qingfeng is a great Confucian, he cannot teach without the scope of Confucianism, Confucianism can educate the people, but cannot govern the people; although Legalism can govern the people strictly, but it is slightly unkind, although it can strengthen the country with law, but it cannot unite the people; and Taoism can make people wise, but it cannot make the people rich, and the last Mohist multi-skill can make the country rich and strong, and the people are rich, but it cannot sufficien people's minds. To sum up, the child came to the conclusion that if you want to make a country rich and strong and the people safe, it is not something that a single school of thought can do, it needs all kinds of schools to perform their own duties, so that the state of Chu can prosper for hundreds of millions of years. ”
Chu Ge's statement made Huang Yuan refreshed, and after thinking about it carefully, there was a little bit of truth, but the wind of truancy could not be long, so he had to say in a deep voice:
"Even if you say something crooked, you will be exempted from three days of confinement, but you must copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times, and if you can't finish copying, you will not be allowed to sleep, and you will not be allowed to eat. ”
Originally, Chu Ge was a little happy to hear that he had been spared the pain of confinement, but when he heard that in the end, he still had to copy the Tao Te Ching, and his expression became depressed again, and he replied in a weak voice:
"Yes, Daddy. ”
Huang Yuan saw that his reply was weak, and he couldn't help but be amused by him, so he smiled again:
"Okay, isn't it just a hundred times, that is, a night's work, look at your sad face. It's been a month since your mother returned to Yingdu, and she will return in the next few days. After waiting for the year, you will be nine years old, and you are no longer a child, I discussed with your mother before, as soon as the Yuan Festival passes, I will send you to the Chen family in Yingdu, which is your mother's maiden home, even in such a prosperous and wealthy place as Yingdu, the Chen family is still considered a wealthy family, send you to Yingdu to live for a long time, you will definitely increase more knowledge, and you can also make friends with many people with lofty ideals, which will lay the foundation for you to go to the court in the future. Although you are young now, but your mind is precocious, you can tell your father, do you want to be a capable minister and scribe who governs the people, or a general who leads troops to fight?"
Huang Yuan's words made Chu Ge full of surprise after listening to it, because this was something he had never heard of before, it seemed that his cheap father was not as ordinary as he looked, but after a moment of silence, Chu Ge replied crisply:
"Daddy, I don't want to be a big official, and I don't want to lead troops to fight, I want to cultivate and become immortals and live forever. ”
Chu Ge's unexpected reply made Huang Yuan startled at first, and then he was furious, and left directly angrily, and at the same time scolded angrily: "Don't already listen to some myths and legends, and think that cultivating immortals and becoming enlightened is a fun thing, how can you understand the dangers there? ”
Huang Yuan's footsteps faded away, Chu Ge sighed softly, then stood up and walked to the desk, then studied ink and took the pen, and silently wrote the Tao Te Ching.
He writes every word and painting very seriously, but his mind has already wandered away, carefully recalling the myths and stories he has collected. Some of these myths are very similar to those on Earth, but they are not very different, and he has learned a lot from these myths:
Pangu opens the sky and evolves the world. These are exactly the same as the origin of the universe on Earth, but the difference begins in Fuxi.
It is rumored that the son of Lei Ze, Fu Xi, was in the Luo River, obtained the Hetu Luo Book, and comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, created the innate Bagua, and since then has created the road of cultivation. After that, the miracle descended from heaven, there was a treasure descending on Kunlun Mountain, on which it was recorded that there were three volumes of the Book of Heaven, all the races were happy, all pilgrimage to Kunlun Mountain, cultivating the way of heaven, and creating immortal law.
Since then, the world of Shenzhou has entered the prosperous era of cultivating immortals of all races.
Ten thousand years later, Fu Xi attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit, beyond the Three Realms and Six Realms. Soon after, his sister Nuwa, who made a man by kneading the soil, also attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit with supreme merit.
Since then, the human race created by Nuwa has been merged into the ten thousand races, and they have cultivated immortals and enlightened together. After that, although countless strong overlords of all races had emerged among the powerhouses, no one was able to attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit and transcend the Three Realms from then on.
After endless years, in the late years of the flood years, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou competed for the world, and Xingtian and Emperor Yan were even more unwilling to be calm. In the end, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor formed an alliance, defeated Chiyou, and drove the remnants of his people into the 100,000 mountains of the Southern Barbarians, and the land of Shenzhou finally entered the peaceful years of the Five Emperors Dinglun.
After a long period of peace, there were demons in the East China Sea, leading to monstrous waters, flooding the land of China, hundreds of millions of living beings were in dire straits, and Kun was ordered to be in danger, but he was defeated by demons and evil spirits, and he was buried in Yushan. Dayu shouldered his father's hatred, not afraid of life and death, not only won the approval of Xuanyuan Sword, but also got the help of the nine-tailed sky fox of Qingqiu Kingdom, and finally killed the demons, introduced the water of Shenzhou into the East China Sea, and saved all races from fire and water.
Therefore, Dayu was proclaimed emperor by all ethnic groups, and the country name was Xia. Dayu then divided the world into Kyushu, and cast nine tripods, in order to suppress the states and protect the world.
Outside of Kyushu, it is called Dongyi, Nanban, Beidi, and Xirong.
After Yu Feixian, the Great Xia Kingdom passed the throne to Ji, after a total of more than 47,000 years, there were seventeen kings to rule the world, and finally because of the tyranny and debauchery of Ji, provoked the anger of the world, Xuanniao Chengtang led the demon army and the human alliance, and rose up to resist together, and finally ended the rule of the Xia Dynasty.
Cheng Tang is promising, after overthrowing the tyranny, the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, and the benevolent government and the virtue of the world, for a time, people and demons coexist in harmony, and Shenzhou is peaceful.
After the soup, the Shang Dynasty passed on the throne of 31 kings, enjoying a national life of 65,000 years, and finally because the king favored the demon fox, the human race was repeatedly bullied, forcing the human masters to unite and oppose the Shang in anger. After being elected as the leader, Ji Fa was a bold and strategic leader, and after a hundred years of conquest, he finally overthrew the Shang Dynasty and drove the demon clan out of Kyushu and sheltered in Qingqiu.
Since then, the Zhou Dynasty has been established, and Ji Fa has called himself King Wu of Zhou, and then sealed the princes, and shared the world with the strong people of all walks of life.
After the ascension of King Wu of Zhou, the Zhou royal family began to weaken after tens of thousands of years, although it was called the lord of Kyushu, but the major princes gradually became slack, and the Zhou royal family existed in name only.
Until 3,000 years ago, a mysterious organization entered Haojing, punished the royal family and nobles of the Zhou Dynasty, and caused the fire to burn Haojing, and the Zhou Dynasty fell here.
The mighty Zhou Dynasty, although it was founded for more than 80,000 years, was finally destroyed.
In the past 3,000 years, the major vassal states have competed for hegemony, and the land of Kyushu has also been in flames.
