As soon as I heard there was something in this, I immediately laughed and said, "It seems like it's still a long way from here to your house, right? We people like to listen to these mountain legends the most, so why don't you tell us about them to entertain us on the way?"
.”
I don’t know if it was the effect of Xiao Donghu’s 10,000 yuan, or if I just said something right to his taste, but the wretched young man smiled and said: “Actually, when you mention these things, they all happened hundreds of years ago.
And it’s just hearsay, no one has actually seen it, so if you don’t mind being too panicked, I’ll explain it to you.”
After saying that, he didn't care whether we were really panicking or not, and started talking: "In the beginning, it was just passed down from generation to generation by the older generations. It was said that the Ming Dynasty had just driven the Tatars out of the Central Plains from the Ming Dynasty.
Not long after it was established, a man dressed as a Taoist priest led a group of officers and soldiers to the foot of Tianzhu Peak. He sent people to climb Tianzhu Peak every day. He also asked us people in the village to deliver meals and gave him money.
Quite a few, the people in the village are naturally happy."
"But one day, the meal delivery people arrived at the field, only to find empty tents on the ground, and not a single officer or soldier was left. At first, they only said that the officers and soldiers had gone up the mountain. They waited for a long time, but no officers and soldiers came down the mountain.
I had no choice but to leave the food behind and come back on my own."
“When the group of people went back the next day, they found that the meals sent the day before had not been moved at all, and the camp was still empty, so they became a little panicked. After waiting for another long time, there was still no one, so they had to put down the meals and return to the village.
inside."
"After that, for five or six days in a row, it was like this every day. People in the village were panicking. You have to know when the imperial court was very unfriendly to us ethnic minorities. If something happened to this group of officers and soldiers in our field, it would probably attract people.
A blow from the imperial court.”
"At this time, the people in the village did not dare to stop. They sent a few brave hunters to guard the camp where the officers and soldiers were stationed. The meals were still delivered on time and in quantity every day, for fear that if the officers and soldiers went down the mountain
, I am hungry and have no food to eat, and then I will vent my anger on the people in the village."
"In this way, the people in the entire village spent several days in this uneasy atmosphere. Finally on the ninth day, they found someone rushing down the mountain and running all the way to the camp before falling to the ground.
, several camp guards hurriedly carried the man into the tent."
"Looking at the man's attire, he should still be a general, but he has gone crazy. There are wounds all over his body that are deep enough to reach the bone. His armor is torn. Moreover, these wounds are very strange. Even if they don't look like weapons, they don't look like they were injured by weapons.
It doesn’t look like it was bitten by a wild animal, but it looks like it was clawed out with fingernails.”
I was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "It was scratched out by fingernails? How is that possible? How can nails scratch a general wearing a helmet and cause wounds all over his body? It's useless even if his fingers are scratched!"
Although the wretched young man was dressed in country clothes, his eloquence was excellent and his reactions were very fast. He nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right! When I heard about this before, I just took it as a story. You guys can just listen to it.
Okay, just listen."
But the story he called, the time, place, and characters are completely consistent with what we know. The time is the early Ming Dynasty, the old man must be Liu Bowen, and the location is Tianzhu Peak. How can we stop it?
Staying out of curiosity, we urged the wretched young man to continue talking.
