Yang Yongsheng
At the Sanshui intersection between Huanglong County and hancheng city, there is a winding mountain range from south to north, tentatively extending to the rolling incoming water river. Here, rivers surround the hills, forming a huge Gankun Bay, which occupies all the nature in the world and is magnificent. This is the famous tomb of Zhao Lian.
According to folklore, Zhao Lian's ancestors lived by herding sheep. They get up early and get greedy for the dark, and they are very diligent. They run a small family in good order, and they are well-known well-off families.
At that time, Hanyuan land culture was prosperous, reading became fashionable, and many people took the road of fame. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a saying that "North Korea was half Shaanxi and Shaanxi was half North Korea". In other words: half of the officials in the DPRK are from Shaanxi; Half of Shaanxi people are from Hancheng.
Therefore, Zhao Lian's grandfather attached great importance to fame and fortune. It is his greatest wish to be able to honor his ancestors and leave a name for future generations.
One day, Zhao Lian's grandfather was herding sheep on the hillside. He found two strangers with beards. They were always in the Moon Bay on the mountain, looking around mysteriously, constantly measuring with their feet and looking up at the sky from time to time. Curious uncle Zhao hid in the bushes on the opposite hillside and followed the mysterious stranger to see what had happened.
A few days later, two mysterious strangers, taking advantage of the silence of the moonlight people, buried a square wooden box in the center of the crater.
After the two beards left, the scheming Grandpa Zhao quietly touched the place where the wooden box was buried and dug it out. That's a bundle of bones. ...
It turned out that the two men buried in the wooden box were lamas on the Songhua River. The two brothers carried the dry bones of their ancestors and spent most of their lives traveling all over the Great Wall. I have traveled all over Qian Shan, the ends of the earth. Finally, this beautiful and magnificent land with lush flowers and trees and surrounded by stagnant water was carefully selected.
Two lamas came here in tandem. My brother first discovered that the official elephant transpiration vein was in this cave. According to yin and yang, five elements, astronomical phenomena, gossip, sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, elegance, rain and dew, and purple gas. Then, in the middle point of the crypt, a hemp money from Kaiyuan Bao Tong was buried.
Half a month later, my brother came here by the mountains and rivers. According to the surrounding weather, he stuck an embroidery needle in the center of the crypt.
When the two brothers turned over the dirt, they both laughed. It turns out that my brother's embroidery needle is impartial in the eyes of Kaiyuan Bao Tong's money. The two feng shui masters hit it off immediately, and both of them decided that it was a treasure trove of feng shui, with a successful career and immortal official position. The two brothers decided to bury the bones of their ancestors here.
Unexpectedly, when the two brothers quietly buried the bones of their ancestors and left happily, they were dug up by Zhao's grandfather as treasures.
Such a scene greatly surprised Zhao Laohan! Zhao Laohan is also a cultured person, thinking that since it is not a treasure, it must be good feng shui. So I decided to remove the bones from the wooden box and bury them in the shelter of the river bank. Put the bones of their ancestors here.
Later, it rained cats and dogs, and the dragon raged and the water flooded, which washed away the Lama's wooden box and drifted on the Yellow River 60 miles away. ...
Decades have passed, and the Lama family has been counting their fingers. Generally speaking, it's time to play an official role. But it's weird. For every boatman, there is a ferryman. I'm worried in my heart. Is it a false wind pulse? ! The 80-year-old Lama decided to visit here.
When the Lama learned about it, he learned that Zhao Lian, a scholar from the Zhao family in Niuxin Village, had become a high official in North Korea. At the same time, the Zhao family has another auspicious thing, the "five-legged donkey foal".
This "five-legged pony" has a strange shape, with donkey's head and mule's legs, a deer's ponytail, big ears with banana leaves, eagle's eyes and a cow's nose. There is a glass leg in the middle of the stomach, which is three inches and three points from the ground. It can walk thousands of miles a day and 800 miles a night. The nostrils are full of fire, and the wind is born under the hoof. It's like walking in the clouds. There is a fire here, and I can't keep up with shopping in Hancheng County, 40 miles away. It is really a "god donkey".
At this time, the anger in the Lama's heart gushed upward like a volcanic eruption! I can't wait to kill the Zhao family! However, the Lama knows that all this is useless. Later, the Lama calmed down and thought about it, and came up with a poisonous trick.
One day, I saw the Lama wearing a robe and holding a golden staff, pretending to be a Buddhist disciple and coming to Zhao's house in the name of alms. Zhao Lian's father, Zhao Zongzhu, treated the Lama as a guest after a sumptuous tea meal. The Lama said mysteriously, "Your ancestral grave is bureaucratic, but the only fly in the ointment is that you can't be a big shot in North Korea. If you want to be a senior official ... "
Grandfather Zhao's eyes suddenly brightened a lot and respectfully asked, "Please give me your advice."
The Lama said, "There is a lack of Ma 'anshan behind your grave. If you dig a saddle-shaped mountain pass two miles away from the grave, your descendants will whip their horses, make a promotion and make a fortune, worship each other, and enjoy prosperity from generation to generation. " Speaking of which, the Lama deliberately lifted Zhao laotou's appetite and gave a hand and said, "Good good! Don't think so far. "
After the ignorant Lao Zhao Man settled Lama's rest, he thought about it, and the master said that it was justified, and immediately decided to dig a saddle in the back mountain to repair Feng Shui. When the ridge is cut off, red water gushes from both sides! And cut off during the day, get back together at night, and repeat for several days.
At this moment, the Lama said to Master Zhao, "This is your Sangmenxing, and the five-legged foal is at work, just like the fox in da ji! If this donkey is not removed, it will bring disaster to your family sooner or later. In that case, if you don't stop, cut the donkey and sacrifice it to the horse! Then ask the waiter to cut a few bundles of thatch on Huanglong Mountain, twist it into ropes, and pull it while digging, and Maanshan will be formed. "
Master Zhao was really possessed, obedient to the Lama and at his mercy, and decided to kill the donkey. When the donkey felt ferocious, it hissed and disappeared into the sky like a rocket. In this way, the Lama quietly destroyed the wind pulse of Zhao cemetery and cut off the dragon neck. From then on, the Zhao family went from bad to worse, and strange things happened again and again.
At the same time, in order to please the imperial court, Hancheng magistrate of a county played the Ming Emperor Wanli, and Zhao Jiatian gave Xiangrui a five-legged colt. When Emperor Wanli heard of the auspicious arrival, he immediately issued a decree, ordering Zhao Lian, who was far away in Huizhou, to go back to his hometown and take the donkey to meet him.
When Emperor Wanli learned that the imperial edict had become a dead letter, Yan Long was furious and won 12 gold medal. On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the family property was destroyed, and Zhao Lian swallowed gold and died.
Today, the descendants of Zhao Lian in Niuxin Village still change the off-year sacrifice day of the 23rd lunar month to the 24th lunar month to avoid the shame of their ancestors and families, which will never be forgotten and passed down from generation to generation.
Message to Zhao Lian:
Spring and autumn are natural and peaceful, and I want to fly an angel.
The majestic landscape is there, and the fear is unacceptable.
Fame and fortune are frequent visitors, aiming to climb the dangerous buildings before.
I advise you to calm down and talk about normality. The world of mortals will cheer Cheng Wuyou up.
