0057, Nuwa Temple anecdote
[Chapter Word Count:2344 Last Updated:2014-08-2923:10:41.0]
The tomb of Nuwa is two meters high and has a circumference of thirty meters. In front of the tomb, there is the Fenghou Temple rebuilt in the 38th year of Wanli (1610), and there are 27 stone tablets, which are engraved with a lot of nonsense of "rioters".
The reason why Prince Xiong thinks that these inscriptions are all nonsense is that there are many contradictions in them.
Fortunately, these nonsense are gorgeous words and phrases to remember and sing praises of virtue, and it is not an exaggeration to use them on Nuwa Niangniang.
As the ancestor of the Chinese nation, Nuwa can't praise too much, but it should be, and Prince Xiong decided not to pursue it.
It's a pity that Xiong Chu basically belongs to the people who don't learn and don't know how to learn, and he really can't be interested in words, and he already has the desire to yawn just after looking at the six stone tablets.
If Xiong Chu had read a lot of books, it would be better to turn himself into a "", then he would be attracted by the beautiful words and phrases on the stone tablet.
If the bear prince was attracted by the beautiful words, and then shook his head and began to groan, he would have been able to make up his mind to waste half a day and read the remaining twenty-one stone tablets.
It's a pity that Xiong Chu didn't read many books, but he just memorized a "Thousand Character Text" upside down.
I haven't read many, many books, and of course I can't be considered a "", because Xiong Chu is just a killer.
Since he is a killer, he is generally not too interested in text inscriptions, so after looking at the six stone tablets, Xiong Chu began to get dizzy, his head was swollen, and he couldn't stand it anymore.
A person's two eyes, in addition to matching the facial features to make your appearance appear more "harmonious", the main function is to see things.
The bear prince decided not to look at the stone tablet, but a pair of eyes could not be idle, and he always had to find something to see.
Coming out of the stele forest, Xiong Chu really saw another picture.
An old woman with a disheveled head, wrapped in a broken sack, was kneeling in front of Nuwa's tomb and kowtowing desperately.
Kowtow to Nuwa Niangniang, this is really normal.
As long as someone comes here, they will fall to the ground and worship, and no one dares to be presumptuous in front of the tomb of the ancestors, even if you are the emperor.
The only exception is King Yin.
This thing is bold, blaspheming Niangniang in the Nuwa Niangniang Temple. As a result, he suffered retribution, and was finally burned alive to ashes in Lutai.
Xiong Chu came over just now, and he had already kowtowed nine times, and specially purchased incense paper candles, and all the three animal sacrifices were ready, and the etiquette was thorough, without the slightest slack.
However, the old woman in front of her, wrapped in a broken sack, made Xiong Chu stunned.
In the mountains of the north, the mountains had been covered with heavy snow, and the old woman was wrapped in a broken sack, and at first glance she was destitute and could not afford to buy sacrifices. So what she placed on the altar turned out to be four fist-sized stones.
Four obviously bloodstained stones were placed on the altar of Niangniang, which was absolutely shocking.
As soon as Xiong Chu's body flashed, he had already reached the side of Nuwa Niangniang's offering table, so that he could see the basic appearance of the old woman.
In fact, the old woman now has no good looks.
Her forehead kept slamming the white marble ground, and it was already dripping with blood.
Blood flowed down his cheeks, and the messy hair and dust on the ground were stuck to his cheeks with blood, making his face even more hideous.
It was so painful that I cried silently.
From the moment the bear prince saw it, the old woman did not say a word, nor did she cry even a single word. Except for kowtowing desperately, he didn't do anything else.
Every time the old woman's forehead touched the floor, she made a thump, as if a heavy hammer had struck the heart of the bear prince, causing his heart to twitch and seem to begin to drip blood.
Xiong Chu was a little worried, if the old woman kept knocking like this, it wouldn't take long to shatter all the skulls, and then burst into tears and die.
"Old woman, if you say something, your mother will be able to hear it, and then it will be possible to do justice for you and satisfy your demands. If you kowtow so desperately, Niangniang may not understand what you mean!"
Can't see an old woman in front of him, because she kowtowed to Nuwa Niangniang and died, so Prince Xiong decided to come forward to prevent the tragedy from happening.
"Little boy, it's okay. The old woman did not stop kowtowing, but still answered the words of the bear prince.
Her voice is hoarse, and when she speaks, she is like pulling a bellows: "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." The mother is merciful and compassionate, and will always see the injustice in the world. I come here every day, kowtow to my mother a thousand and eighty heads, and rest until death. ”
As soon as the old woman spoke, Prince Xiong knew that she had some origins. Because it is impossible for an ordinary village woman to open her mouth to say such a thing.
An old woman with some background, but wrapped in a broken sack, and used a bloody stone as a sacrifice, it can be seen that it is no longer an ordinary "poor people", it should be extremely poor.
Xiong Chu saw the old woman stubbornly kowtowing, and was suddenly a little at a loss: "Old woman, if you have anything to say, maybe there will be some way." ”
"Little boy, thank you for your kindness, I wish you good people good rewards! But there is no way to deal with my affairs, unless the mother goes down to earth! Little boy, don't you see that the people around here have already avoided it? If it's okay, you can leave quickly, don't implicate you." ”
Seeing others kowtow to the mother will also implicate themselves, which is simply a strange story through the ages.
Some things that have happened recently have made Xiong Chu hold his breath. Now that I heard that I hadn't done anything, I might be implicated, and I suddenly felt the need to figure things out, otherwise I wouldn't want to sleep tonight.
Xiong Chu waved his hand and motioned to Huo Lianshan to help the old woman up: "The road is uneven, and some people step on it, and the people of the world are in charge of the world's affairs." The old woman told me what had happened and saw what the problem was. ”
The old woman sat on the floor, reached out and touched the blood on her forehead, brushed away the hair that covered her eyes, and looked at the bear prince deeply, and then she spoke.
In Wujiapo, Anrong County (now Guwei Town, Ruicheng County), there is a family surnamed Wu, which has been engaged in mining for 100 years, operating a copper mine and a coal mine.
In the last decade, mining taxes have increased thirteenfold compared to before, and mining is no longer sustainable. So in the spring of this year, the samurai decided to close the mine and close its business.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the year, there was a change of mine tax envoy, and all the articles of association changed. And replied clearly: It is okay for the samurai mine to be closed, but the mining tax will be increased by 30% every month, and 4,800 taels of silver will be paid every month.
In addition, it is necessary to increase the tax of 180 taels for the 9,000-year-old ancestral hall, 80 taels for the military tax in Liaodong, and 36 taels for the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, totaling 5,000 taels of silver every month.
Mining could not sustain the wages of laborers, and it was simply impossible to afford huge mining taxes. If you don't open a mine, you still have to continue to pay taxes, and the martial family is naturally unwilling, so they go to the yamen to reason.
If you don't reason, at most you will have to confiscate your property.
But the patriarch of the martial family wanted to be reasonable, and he went to the mining tax yamen to reason.
Unexpectedly, the way to reason with the imperial court mining tax envoy was very simple, that is, the water and fire sticks were waiting. When the patriarch of the Wu family said a word, he would be beaten with ten sticks.
As a result, the Wu family patriarch said five sentences, and then he didn't say anything.
It's not that the head of the Wu family doesn't want to speak, but there is no way to continue talking. Because of the fifty sticks, the head of the Wu family had already choked his breath.
The patriarch was beaten to death in the hall, and the entire Wujiapo was boiling, so more people were organized to continue reasoning.
This time I went to the county government to reason, and I went to 16 people at one time.
Of course, these sixteen people have not returned until now, but the official army has been stationed in Wujiapo, and all the men in the village, regardless of age, have been assigned to serve as military personnel, and all women have been used as official prostitutes.
