Chapter 4 Fallen Assassins A great chapter for @cloudy14
Under normal circumstances, of course I would say that I heard it from Mr. Yu, but now, how could I say that? Mr. Yu himself doesn’t know, and he asked me to ask Mr. Li. If I slap myself,
Just don't walk out of this door.
In desperation, I could only say: "A historian told me. His name is Li..."
Before the word "Yu Bo" came out of his mouth, Mr. Li suddenly asked in surprise: "Is it Li Luoyan? Where did you see him?"
Li Luoyan? I suddenly woke up and said, "Does this Li Luoyan have a son named 'Li Yubo'?"
"Did you listen to what Li Yubo said?"
"Yes." I replied with a sincere expression.
"Oh," Mr. Yu of the Li family finally put on a slightly more trusting expression and said, "There has been no news from Li Luoyan and his son for a long time. What's going on?"
I can't tell him that Li Yubo has joined a very unreliable organization, and Li Luoyan's whereabouts are gone. So I can only say: "I don't know... I haven't seen Li Yubo for a long time."
By the way, I remember Li Yubo said that his father met a family descendant who had lived in Cannes for a long time. He should be referring to Mr. Yu, right? It seems that Mr. Li Luoyan’s understanding of the history of Cannes came from Mr. Yu.
I got it from Mr. Yu, but... why doesn’t Mr. Yu know as much about the Badjao people as you and Mr. Li Luoyan do?”
Mr. Yu of the Li family did not answer, but asked me: "You... what did you say your name was just now?"
"Lin You. Shuangmulin, blessed You."
"Oh, oh, I think about it. No wonder your name sounds familiar. I met Lao Yu a few days ago and he mentioned you." Mr. Li smiled kindly, put his glasses aside and said, "Since you are not an outsider,
It doesn't hurt to tell you a little bit. Lao Yu learned about those histories from the "Yu Family Tree" he read when he was a child. Professor Li is not only a historian, but also a paleoanthropologist. He learned about Kang Kang from Lao Yu.
After studying the history of the city, he came to this conclusion after several researches. Because I also do some research on paleoanthropology, he discussed it with me during the research process."
I nodded and said, "The conclusion is: during Zhuan Xue's Eastern Campaign, after defeating the indigenous chief named Zhongya and the local tribes, those who did not surrender and fled fled to Southeast Asia and became the Badjao people today?"
"Yes," Mr. Li said, "You should know the name of Chief Zhongya's wife, right?"
I was stunned for a moment. If I remember correctly, the first time I met Li Yubo, listened to his talk about the history of Cannes and was attacked by gunmen, was on June 5th. It was already a full month ago. At that time, he
How could I still remember the name mentioned by the way? But in order not to disturb Mr. Li's conversation, I tried to recall it and said: "Oh, I remembered, it was Ji Luya's mother! I remember Yu Bo said
, when Zhuan Xue led his army to attack Zhong Ya's tribe, she, instigated by a little chief named Dick, attacked and killed hundreds of Zhuan Xue's troops."
Mr. Li nodded and said: "Yes. According to Professor Li Luoyan's research, it is said that Ji Luya's mother has ancestral witchcraft and can create an undead army. She used this witchcraft to defeat Zhuan Xue's army. Zhuan Xue eats it
After losing the battle, he retreated to Damang Lake. Fortunately, he met his son Zhuan Yin and led 800 warriors to Gushui Pass. So the father and son joined forces and marched eastward along the Great Lake, defeating the Zhongya armed forces who were celebrating their victory. Zhongya saw the situation and was overwhelmed.
The enemy, and Dick led the remnant, fled south to the sun of Baimao Mountain, and took up residence in Tiantai Fort. Afterwards, they prepared some rafts, crossed the sea and fled to the southeast. All the natives of Parrot Island who had no time to escape turned their sides and surrendered. Ji Luya
The mother, women, children, and more than 500 followers also petitioned Zhuanxue and begged for surrender. Zhuanxue ignored the blame and forgave them. Ji Luya's mother respected Zhuanxue as the chief father. At this time, it was autumn in Parrot Island.
Just after the tidal sea immersed, the settlements of the natives were surrounded by water-filled depressions. Zhuan Xue immediately mobilized his soldiers to help the natives build canals to divert water, and soon the water in the depressions was introduced into the Wolong River, which won the favor of the indigenous people. This
In the winter of that year, Zhuan Xue took Lu Ya's mother as his wife and concubine."
"Ah?" I sweated in my heart. Zhuan Xue married Ji Luya's mother? If Zhuan Xue is full of hatred for Zhuan Xue, this, this, this... this is normal! After all, Zhuan Xue defeated him and still married her.
He killed his wife! Thinking of this, he said to Mr. Li: "So, Zhong Ya and Dick led the remnants to escape, and actually crossed the ocean to Southeast Asia. From then on, they settled at sea and no longer interacted with people on land.
After going back and forth, they became the Bajao people they are today?
"Not necessarily," Mr. Li said. "According to our research, the ancestors of the Badjao people do include some people brought by Zhongya and Dick, but there are also local indigenous people from Southeast Asia. Descendants of Zhongya later returned to
Arrived in Middle Earth.”
"What? Are they back seeking revenge?"
Mr. Li has a scholarly demeanor. He doesn't like to talk much, but as soon as the conversation gets interesting, he will talk about anything. I just heard him say: "Haha, you are quite interesting. No wonder I met Lao Yu a few days ago, and he said
A very spiritual young man arrived. As for whether Tsukasa came to seek revenge, it is not clear. But that was already a thousand years later. They have fully adapted to marine life and have extremely strong physical strength and agility.
, this ability has been infused into their blood genes. When they returned to China, it was probably the end of the Zhou Dynasty. The place where they landed was the Yue Kingdom at that time."
I said "hmm" and said: "If they want to return to their roots after falling off their leaves, returning to Yue is the most reasonable choice. And judging from the direction of the maritime monsoon and ocean currents, it will be smooth sailing back here from Southeast Asia. However, if they
With such great skills and during the war-torn times of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it should be easy for him to become famous and become a brave general!"
After hearing what I said, Mr. Li laughed and said, "What you said is absolutely right."
"But why didn't I know there was such a brave general?"
"That's because they are so incredible that history dare not record them. We can only find their shadows in unofficial historical novels!" Mr. Li said with a smile, "Young man, you must have read Mr. Jin Yong's books, right?"
I nodded and said, "Of course I have read Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novel, 'Flying Snow Shoots White Deer, Laughing Book of Heroes Relying on Biyuan'. I am afraid that as long as there are Chinese characters, everyone knows about them."
.”
"Then do you know that Mr. Jin Yong is also a famous historian in addition to being a writer of martial arts novels?" Mr. Li looked at me and said.
"I know. The novels written by Mr. Jin Yong, especially the "The Condor Trilogy" and "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", combine martial arts and history very perfectly and are exemplary. Without a profound historical foundation, it cannot be written."
"So, the couplet you just mentioned includes fourteen of Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts masterpieces. However, there is also a fifteenth one, do you know?"
"Of course! I've seen it." Although Mr. Li's topic revolved around Mr. Jin Yong, I didn't know what he wanted to say, but I immediately replied, ""Yue Nv Sword"!"
As soon as I finished speaking, words such as "Yueguo", "excellent martial arts", "one against a hundred", "unparalleled speed" and other words flashed through my mind. I suddenly said "ah" and suddenly understood.
Mr. Li came over and wanted to say something, so he hurriedly said: "Could it be that you mean..."
Seeing that I seemed to understand, Mr. Li smiled and said: "Why is "Yue Nu Sword" not included in the fourteen novels in that couplet? Is it just for the neatness of the couplet?"
I stared at Mr. Li closely and said, "Is it because "Yue Nv Sword" is not a novel at all?"
Mr. Li stroked his beard and said: "You can teach me. Stories about the Yue Nv Sword are scattered in official histories and non-fiction books. The earliest and most detailed record is "Wuyue Chunqiu" written by Zhao Ye of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This is a serious book.
Classic, a very rigorous history book. Similar stories were also recorded in the later "Yiwen Leiju" and "The Legend of Swordsman"."
After listening to what Mr. Li said, the hard drive in my brain couldn't help but spin up at high speed.
Mr. Jin Yong described a woman named "A Qing" in "Yue Nv Sword", whose swordsmanship was superb and unrivaled. In the end, in order to pursue her beloved Fan Li, she prevented Fan Li from following Xi Shi.
He entered Guanwa Palace alone, defeated a thousand soldiers and a thousand swordsmen with one man and one stick. Finally, he came to Xi Shi and wanted to kill her with the stick, but he was shocked by Xi Shi's beauty and finally changed his mind.
, Fan Li and Xi Shi were fulfilled, and A Qing himself also drifted away.
"The Sword of the Yue Girl" was originally Mr. Jin Yong's determination to write a short story for each of the thirty-three "swordsmen" in the "Thirty-Three Swordsmen" passed down from ancient times. However, in the end he only completed the first one, "The Sword of the Yue Girl".
"Sword", I don't know why, I didn't write it anymore. Not only that, this "Yue Nu Sword", which was written in 1970 and has only 10,000 words, is actually Mr. Jin Yong's last martial arts novel - after finishing "
After "The Sword of the Yue Girl", Mr. Jin Yong insisted on finishing "The Deer and the Cauldron" which was serialized in 1969, and immediately announced that he would stop writing martial arts novels. Why, it is this "The Sword of the Yue Girl" that will become Mr. Jin Yong's shortest novel
And the last martial arts novel?
The strange things do not end here. Careful people will find that Mr. Jin Yong also made a logical error at the end of "Yue Nv Sword", that is: the story says that A Qing's final blow to kill Xi Shi, although there is no
It pierced Xi Shi's heart, but the strength of the stick hurt her, causing "Xi Shi holding her heart" to become the most beautiful image in the world. However, we all know that Xi Shi had heart disease since she was a child, so she frowned while holding her heart.
Dong Shi, who was extremely ugly, imitated her appearance, hence the saying "Dong Shi imitated Fang".
As a master of history, why did Mr. Jin Yong make such a mistake?
And why, after Mr. Jin Yong finished writing "The Yue Girl Sword", did he not continue writing about the other thirty-two swordsmen? He actually stopped writing?
I have always been curious about these questions. Only then, after listening to Mr. Li's words, did I understand: Could it be that Mr. Jin Yong, as a famous historian, discovered after research that the "speed" he wrote was "extraordinarily fast", "
Ah Qing, who is "agile and agile", is not a fantasy story at all, but a real historical figure? She is most likely the "descendant of Zhong Ya" mentioned by Mr. Li, "the Bajiao people who returned to Middle-earth"
", that is, "born assassins" with extremely high talents. And this assassin nation carries too many secrets, so Mr. Jin Yong deliberately made a mistake at the end of "Yue Nv Sword", making everyone think that this
Is it a fictitious story that misleads all readers? If this is the case, then this is exactly the same as Qin Shihuang's "reverse thinking" method mentioned before, and it is an extremely clever method used by an extremely smart person.
I wanted to shake my head and smile bitterly, and put this crazy idea behind me. But that’s how I am. At this moment, I can’t control myself. I can’t help but keep thinking: the so-called “swordsman” is actually an “assassin”
"That's right, the so-called "assassins" among tens of millions of troops can kill the head of the army commander; in the deep courtyards of the palace, they can kill the nobles and nobles. They have the strongest martial arts, and they also stick to the
My own principles - the happiness of the common people in the world. If you only have martial arts and no principles, just like the black-clothed and masked men in TV dramas raised by nobles to oppress good people and eradicate dissidents, then they can only be called "serial murderers"
", "The executioner who pays to kill someone" is not worthy of being called an "assassin".
Just as Mr. Jin Yong said in "The Legend of Heaven and Slaying the Dragon", the so-called "The supreme king of martial arts, who slays the dragon with his precious sword, commands the world. No one dares to disobey, and no one can compete with him if he relies on the sky to slay the dragon." What he means is: there is something hidden in the dragon-slaying knife.
"Wu Mu's Suicide Note" is a masterpiece of military art that can be used to dominate the world. If someone gets it and dominates the world as king, but goes against the grain and harms the people, then there will be a martial arts master who learns the secrets hidden in Yitian Sword.
The "Nine Yin Manual" came all the way to take the head of the faint king. This martial arts master is the so-called "assassin".
The assassin who is "far away from the rivers and lakes" is a kind of intimidation to the human king "who lives high in the temple" and is the conscience of the world. As written in Li Bai's "Xia Ke Xing": "Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou
The frost and snow are bright. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star. He kills one person in ten steps and leaves no trace for a thousand miles. When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and hides his body and name. "What kind of chivalry, how free and easy!
Speaking of the phrase "killing one person in ten steps and leaving no trace in a thousand miles" mentioned in this poem, those who are familiar with Zhang Yimou's movies will definitely think of a movie: "Hero". Yes, Feixue and Can Jian,
At first, he assassinated Qin Shihuang to avenge himself. Before assassinating Qin, Wuming felt inspired by Can Jian's words "天下", and in order to end the suffering of the people who could not live and work in peace and contentment, he gave up the rare opportunity to assassinate Qin. From this perspective,
Said, Wu Ming, Can Jian can be described as a hero.
However, after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he went against the grain and implemented tyranny, heavy taxes and heavy labor, and the people were displaced. However, only one Zhang Liang stepped forward and ambush him at Bolangsha, but failed. The other assassins were nowhere to be seen. Where did they go?
Already?
Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked, and all my previous questions seemed to have reasonable explanations: Mr. Jin Yong expressed his respect and yearning for the righteous assassin in "The Legend of Heaven and Sword of the Dragon", but after he wrote "The Yue Girl Sword", he
That is to say, the great possibility is that he discovered that after Ah Qing, the other "assassins" from the Badjao tribe who returned to the Central Plains have fallen! They should have adhered to the highest principles and not succumbed to any worldly forces or temptations.
The "assassin" who was moved, for some unknown reason, surrendered to Qin Shihuang and became the secret organization guarding Qin Shihuang's mausoleum!
Although there is still a lack of evidence to support this conclusion, I cannot help but believe in the correctness of this conclusion: only such an organization with the highest martial arts skills can preserve the tomb of Qin Shihuang and its secrets for more than two thousand years until today.
.
Yes, if I guess correctly, the witchcraft used by Ji Luya's mother to defeat Zhuan Xue is obviously the original 1.0 version of the secret medicine that turns people into "suspended zombies", and her arrogant Yu
The descendants of the original husband, Zhong Ya, who had been living overseas since then, returned to China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period after a lapse of two thousand years. In the end, they surrendered to Qin Shihuang and became a "guardian" that no dynasty dared to despise.
