The unlucky life of a medical student

After leaving the police station, Zhong Wuchuan couldn't hold back his inner curiosity, and asked Xu Guangcheng: "Old Xu, what did you find just now? Have you found the identity of the murderer?"

"If I know who the murderer is, will I inform you shortly to help me lie?"

"Then why did you say..."

Zhong Wuchuan asked: "Also, what do the words on the note mean? The Dragon King...doesn't it refer to the Dragon King in the Dragon King Hall!"

"In ancient times, there was a custom of living human sacrifices. As the god in charge of precipitation, it is not surprising that the Dragon King enjoys sacrifices made of human beings as the main material," Xu Guangcheng said. "What's more, Cui Mingzhu's body was found in the water. The last time she was When people see it, they are near the water."

"what do you mean……"

Zhong Wuchuan said he was frightened.

Xu Guangcheng said: "That's why I want you to take me to Zhongshan for a field survey tomorrow! By the way, let those guys cut down the 440 peach tree that I owe me!"

"440 one..."

Zhong Wuchuan felt dizzy for a while.

He didn't expect that Xu Guangcheng, a 700-year-old antique, would hold grudges so narrowly that he would take revenge!

Seeing Zhong Wuchuan showing reluctance, Xu Guangcheng teased him, saying: "You seem a little reluctant? Could it be that among these few people is your first love?"

"What nonsense! How could I like them! They are all ugly, scoundrels, shameless, and very uneducated! It makes people vomit!"

The more Zhong Wuchuan spoke, the angrier he became, and his ears turned red in response to the occasion.

Xu Guangcheng teased him even more, jokingly said: "You don't like them, so do you like me?"

"This... this... you make me feel at ease," Zhong Wuchuan said, "I feel that as long as you are by my side, I don't have to be afraid of any dangerous place... To be honest, before I met you, I always felt that I He is a very bold person, but now... I am actually used to the feeling of going in and out with another man..."

"So I have weight in your heart, don't I?"

The sudden question made Zhong Wuchuan fall into silence.

……

……

Zhongshan is not a famous mountain, and Zhongshui is not clear water. The scenery along the road is natural and wild at best, but has no characteristics at worst.

The so-called Immortal Stone is essentially just a three-meter-high human-shaped boulder, and to say that it looks like a human is still far-fetched by later generations.

"It is said that the fairy couple surnamed Zhong who went down to kill demons and demons could never return to the sky, so they multiplied in the world and were buried together in the tomb of the gods after death. Their old servant was so sad that he watched from the bottom of the mountain every day. The fairy tomb on the mountain turned into a fairy stone after a long time."

After Zhong Wuchuan mechanically introduced the local legends, he pointed to the Immortal Stone and said, "Here is the head, here is the old man's neck, and this piece should be the old man's hands... Anyway, the stones related to these legends are all pictographic. If you feel like a person, you will look more and more like a person. If you don’t have the idea of ​​being like a person in your heart, you will see it as an ordinary big rock.”

"That is to say, you don't believe in the legend of Zhongshan's Immortal Stone and Immortal Tomb?"

Zhong Wuchuan nodded and said: "The story of immortals descending to save the people is mostly the beautiful imagination of the ancestors when they faced the difficult and difficult environment, but the human body turns into stone, and carbon element mutates into silicon element. Impossible, it can only be regarded as a mythical element that will inevitably appear in a mythical story.

"After all, you don't believe in any of this, do you? Even..."

"I know you want to talk about the Shanhai Pet Center, but you yourself have said that the civilization that gave birth to the life forms in the Shanhaijing is not the same civilization as I am familiar with. Since the civilizations are different, put aside Is it interesting to talk about it together? I also believe in Trisolarans and Area 51, but believing doesn’t mean—”

Having said that, Zhong Wuchuan waved his hand towards the distance!

Then, a group of people including Li Mingshan appeared with axes and chainsaws.

When he saw Xu Guangcheng, Li Mingshan's expression was very subtle, and he said, "Shall we start now?"

"Yes, start cutting trees now," Xu Guangcheng pointed to a small path in Zhongshan, and said, "You are all locals, so you don't need me to guide you."

"By the time it's your turn, a foreigner, to lead us the way, the day lily will be cold!"

Li Mingshan directed his brothers into the mountain pretending to be disdainful.

After the brothers had all gone away, he asked Xu Guangcheng again in fear: "The matter of Cui Mingzhu's red envelope..."

"There is already a clue," Xu Guangcheng said, "Don't worry, it wasn't sent by a ghost!"

"Not a ghost?! Then I can rest assured!"

Li Mingshan walked towards Zhong Shan with the ax on his shoulder.

Maybe it was an illusion caused by the morning fog. When Li Mingshan and others walked towards Zhong Shan, Zhong Wuchuan suddenly felt that Zhong Shan in the clouds looked like a face, a huge human face with eyebrows, eyes and mouth!

The feeling of discomfort didn't last long. When the wind blew away the fog, Zhong Wuchuan just rubbed his eyes. When he looked at the cloud-shrouded Zhongshan again, he suddenly felt like a girl kneeling by the water to make up.

girl? !

Zhong Wuchuan's heart shuddered!

He remembered the murals he saw in Kui Niu's tomb: a girl as tall as a mountain drinking water from a cup...

Sudden fear gripped his heart, and he said to Xu Guangcheng, "Old Xu, do you still remember the murals in Kui Niu's tomb?"

"What do you mean by bringing this up all of a sudden?"

Xu Guangcheng said casually, and entered Zhongshan along the path with Zhong Wuchuan.

"I just suddenly remembered," Zhong Wuchuan said, "When the Yellow Emperor was fighting Chi You, was there a female general by his side? She looked very beautiful...very young..."

"That's Tiannv Ba, the ancestor of Han Ba," Xu Guangcheng said. "Some say she is the youngest daughter of the Yellow Emperor, while others say she is a celestial girl sent from heaven to help the Yellow Emperor. She can cause drought. When it got stuck in the mud, Tiannvba played a role. But what agricultural civilization hates most is drought, so after the war ended, Tiannvba was exiled by the Yellow Emperor."

"so poor……"

Zhong Wuchuan felt a little sympathetic to this legendary goddess Ba.

"No way, who gave her the ability to create drought? Drought is the enemy of human survival. In ancient times, human beings would rather be too wet than dry and unable to farm."

Although Xu Guangcheng also felt sorry for Tiannv Ba who was exiled because of her natural ability, but this kind of sympathy was faint.

"Most of the later generations also think that it is a very pitiful thing for a girl to be exiled just because of her ability to create drought, so she was named Tiannvba. Since then, in everyone's first imagination, Tiannvba is always very beautiful. girl."

"Old Xu, what you said is very reasonable. At least when I heard the name Tiannv Ba, my first reaction was a fairy-like beauty."

"Unfortunately, with the decline of the worship of nature, the image of the goddess has gradually become alienated. She was originally a beauty in blue clothes, and gradually evolved into a green-faced and long-toothed evil spirit. Later, it was even said that 'the corpse first turned into a drought, and then changed into a 犼’, which, of course, was much later.”

Xu Guangcheng walked on the mountain road with his hands behind his back, and while walking, he introduced to Zhong Wuchuan the whole process of Tiannuba's transformation from a drought god to a drought god and then gradually becoming a zombie king.

"...At the beginning, Tiannv Ba was the god of drought, and Yinglong was the god of rain. However, with the decline of nature worship, the ancient gods also became demons...During the Song Dynasty, the drought demon caused mischief and drained the water in the salt pond. Song Dynasty The emperor asked the celestial master for help, and the celestial master sent Guan Yu to subdue him. Guan Yu defeated the Han Ba ​​and was conferred the title of King Wu'an by the Song Dynasty emperor. Incarnation. Folks even believe that if it doesn't rain, you can ask Guandi!"

"I didn't expect Guandi to be... a bit shocking!"

Zhong Wuchuan was surprised.

In terms of strength alone, Guan Yu is not the top among the generals of the Three Kingdoms. Whether it is force or wisdom, the only thing that can be praised is loyalty. However, there are tens of thousands of ancient generals, and there are countless generals known for their loyalty.

"Many of the names of the current mainstream gods were born in the Song Dynasty. That era happened to be the intersection point of the decline of the natural gods and the rise of the artificial gods. Guan Yu, Mazu, and the Jade Emperor... were all supported in that era.

The god Erlang, who is familiar to the public, originally referred to Li Erlang, the son of Li Bing, the governor of Dujiangyan. According to legend, he was originally Yinglong who lived in the Minjiang River. , Yinglong entrusted his son to divide the Minjiang River for him, so Dujiangyan came into being. ,

In the Erwang Temple in Dujiangyan, Li Erlang is the main hall, and Li Bing can only be in the side hall.The son enjoys a higher level of worship than the father, which is an obvious hint in the era of filial piety and respect.It's a pity that after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Li Erlang gradually became Yang Erlang, his name was taken away, and Ying Long's identity was lost. "

"so poor……"

Zhong Wuchuan sighed, and suddenly remembered another painting he saw in Kui Niu's tomb.

A long snake with a human head lay on the ground, and the mountains were cut by the snake's wings like a cake...

Originally, he only regarded this painting as the ancients' romantic imagination of the fighting power of the gods who participated in the ancient war, but now, after hearing Xu Guangcheng's introduction, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

The big snake with wings that can cut mountains in the mural is not a snake, but——

Yinglong!
