Chapter 295 Ghost Story
"Wang Jian is recorded in history as a man with 'protruding eyebrows and wide forehead, a dragon's eye and a tiger's gaze, a clever fist and a brave man, and he is of the same generation'."
"But When he was young, he was a scoundrel. It is said that his ancestors have been making cakes for generations."
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "But he and I. Just like the old Zhou family, in the words of my aunt, this is called 'trading food'."
The godfather smiled and said: "It's really the same, but in Wang Jian's generation, the family fortune has declined. After Wang Jian’s father died, Wang Jian found a random place and dug a few feet into the ground to prepare for burial, but a strange thing happened.”
"What's weird?"
"This coffin can't fall down, it will jump out automatically after falling."
"Then what?"
" Wang Jian is also a fool. He doesn’t feel scared at all. He dreams about it at night. Then a god came out and said to him: 'This is the geomantic treasure land of the emperor. You are just a commoner, how can you be allowed to be buried here?'"
"Oh, it's even worse now! Zhou Zhi laughed and said, "How could the story be done differently?"
The godfather smiled and said: "Yes, the story says that after Wang Jian woke up, he ignored him and continued to bury him again and again. This was repeated several times, and finally the burial was completed."
Zhou Zhi laughed so hard: "This is why gods are afraid of hooligans!"
The godfather smiled and said: "I guess Wang Jian is idle and has no academic skills. After his father's death, he started to kill cattle, steal donkeys, and sell illegal salt. Because he was ranked eighth, he was hated by the locals and called him a 'thief bastard'."
"Well, It feels like it's a copy of Liu Bang's passage in "Historical Records", but it's even more excessive. "Zhou Zhi still didn't trust the ancient literati who wrote such legendary stories.
"Don't make trouble, elbow!" Chi Xueli listened with great interest: "Uncle Master continued."
"There was no room in his hometown, so Wang Jian had no choice but to go out and wander around. He met a man named Jin Hui in Xuchang, who was also a gangster, so the two met to become thieves. As a result, they were wanted by the government."
"The two of them fled here and there, and finally hid in an ancient tomb in Wuyang. At that time, a wealthy family in Yingchuan was holding an unobstructed Buddhist meeting. At night, the two of them heard a sound outside. Yin shouted to the tomb: 'Aren't you going to the Yingchuan Conference? The door is blocked here, we can't get out! '"
Zhou Zhi saw Jiang Shuyi's face turned pale and raised her right hand, probably wanting to hold his hand, but she put it down when she felt something was wrong.
I couldn’t help but laugh and said: “This story would have been incredible if I had just told it in the tomb…”
Then Chi Xueli hit him with his elbow.
The godfather continued: "Wang Jian and Jin Hui couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't know who was talking, and they didn't know who the King of Shu was. But both of them were bold people. Jin Hui thought about it and said to Wang Jian Said: "Bago is so far-sighted that I can't keep up with him." Although Wang Jian was humble in words, he was secretly happy in his heart. ”
"After a long time, the participating ghosts returned to the tomb and said to the other ghosts in the tomb: 'I know that guests are coming today. Now divide the meal into three parts, two parts for the king and one part for the duke." Later Wang Jian Two portions of rice appeared in front of He Jinhui. "
"Did they really eat it?" Jiang Shuyi looked at the tomb behind her and felt a little uneasy.
Zhou Zhi pointed to the "not yet open" notice posted on the door of the tomb and said to Jiang Shuyi: "Don't be afraid, Shuyi, it is a dictatorship now, and the most powerful thing is the red official seal!"
"You know how to talk nonsense." Jiang Shuyi refuted Zhou Zhi, but she didn't seem so scared anymore.
The godfather continued: "The two of them were so bold that they ate it seriously. Although they both tasted equally delicious, Wang Jian's rice tasted even more strange, so Jin Hui said to Wang Jian: 'This is imperial rice!' The two of them smiled knowingly. "Wang Jian was caught after all, and he was secretly released after bribing the jailer. After that, he hid in Wudang Mountain. A monk named Chu Hong said in surprise when he met Wang Jian. Your bone skills are very noble, why don't you join the army and seek to change yourself and change your life?'"
"Wang Jian then went to Huaiyang District, Henan and joined the Zhongwu Army as the Jiedu Envoy? Du Shenquanti He was selected as a lieutenant, and he later became one of the famous "Zhongwu Eight Capitals". "In the end, he encountered many battles and became the emperor of Shu."
"What about Jin Hui?"
"Jin Hui also joined the army with Wang Jian and became one of the generals of the "Eight Zhongwu Capitals". He has always been loyal to Wang Jian and participated in Wang Jian's capture of the East and West. The war between the two Western Sichuan eventually assisted Wang Jian in establishing the former Shu, and the two became sons and daughters. Later, when Wang Jian's son ascended the throne, he became the head of the country. He eventually lived to be seventy-nine years old, and after his death, he became the grand master."
After telling the story, the godfather laughed: "So Xue. Li, you just said that Wang Jian doesn’t look like a king and is not brave enough, but he looks bad and his level is not as good as The ghosts of Yingchuan are not as good as the Taoist priests of Wudang Mountain."
"I think these stories may have been fabricated by the Grand Master of Jin." Zhou Zhi said with a bad smile: "The leader of the myth is also bragging. I, by the way, would like to reiterate that I and my leader started from humble beginnings and share the joys and sorrows. He also emphasizes the inevitability and naturalness of his loyalty and the absolute lack of possibility of rebellion. He is really brilliant."
"What is this called a conspiracy theory? Everyone has ulterior motives! ”
"Daddy, you're on the same page again. I didn't imagine everyone to have ulterior motives. I just imagined all the historical figures who could be included in the history books to have ulterior motives. Is this all wrong?"
"You..."
"Hahaha, I found that Dawen's word sharpness is much faster than yours Zhengping." Gu Youwen smiled and said: "It's another art investment. Master, we have an extra talent..."
Even my godfather couldn't stand it now: "Master, your partiality is too obvious..."
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Shu University. Zhou Zhi had gained a lot from this trip, especially the clothing, entertainment, ladies' dressing, and types of musical instruments in the upper class of the five generations. It was an eye-opener.
For example, he didn't know that the music of the Western Regions had been introduced to the court of the former Shu during the Five Dynasties period. In this way, Meng Chang's Crystal Palace of the later Shu could be imagined in a bolder way.
These may be beneficial to some chapter in novel writing.
In addition, there is a rubbing of Wang Jian's mourning book. The Wei stele's large characters are mostly in regular script. The Wei stele's calligraphy on the mourning book is comparable to the famous calligraphy of "Mu Liang's Epitaph" in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and is handsome and tall.
The most important thing is that the stele is very well preserved, so the quality of the rubbings is quite high, and it is impossible to buy it outside. The fourth cousin will definitely be satisfied with this gift.
When I got home, I found that Gu Kailai had come back, where he was peeling grapefruit and carefully reading Zhou Zhi's pickaxe.
What makes Zhou Zhi happy is that what Gu Kailai read was not the revised version of "Exegesis of Jiachuan Dialects", but the first volume of "Interesting Talks of Sichuan Flavors".
Seeing Gu Youwen and Gu Zhenduo's group coming back, Gu Kailai stood up quickly: "Grandpa, father."
For Gu Youwen, walking is a bit much today. After all, he is already close to ninety. , sat down when he got home: "Zuye, don't delay the final payment of the manuscript fee to Xiuzi."
"The finance department hasn't started work yet." Gu Kailai said with a smile.
Seeing Gu Youwen frowning, Gu Kailai smiled and said: "I wanted to make a joke with Jiuzi, but it turned out that Jiuzi was not in a hurry, and my grandfather became anxious first."
"Yesterday was the official entry, but now the master's heart is biased." The godfather smiled and said: "The ancestral business, our brother has disappeared for some time."
