Chapter 193 Ant repays favor

Yuanzhou belongs to Jinghu South Road, where Baiyue people live together, and there are many Miao and Dong people. There are six mountains, three rivers and one farmland, high mountains and crisscrossing rivers. People mostly make a living by fishing and hunting. The Ancient Tea Horse Road passes through the area.

The saying is that hunger and cold arouse the desire to steal, and wealth and silk absorb people's soul. Bandits often rob passing merchants, and the famous bandit is Mao Chihong who is stationed in Queen Bee Valley in Chuanyan Mountain.

The terrain is dangerous, surrounded by mountains on two sides, and the upper part is a lake. There is only one trail that can enter and exit. One man can guard the pass, and ten thousand people can't open it. It is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although Chen Zhengda was the number one scholar in military affairs, after the incident in Qinzhou, the patrol officers and soldiers had received orders from the peak, and no one would lend him troops. Training the militiamen again was a knowing offense, and what he would receive would be nothing more than a few words of reprimand.

The generals of Zhizhou violated the imperial taboo. If the bandits are not eliminated, the trade routes will be blocked and the people's livelihood will be difficult to improve. Chen Zhengda was thinking hard in the yamen. By the way, each major merchant has several housekeepers and housekeepers, and each caravan has some good hands, bandits.

Rampant behavior will cause the greatest losses to them. This power can be used to exterminate the bandits and bring peace to the people's livelihood.

Chen Zhengda went to the caravan to discuss. When everyone heard that Mr. Zhizhou was willing to take the lead, and that he was the number one martial artist, they all cheered. A 200-member bandit-suppressing militia was quickly formed, with food, wages and weapons ready. This group of martial artists was highly skilled in martial arts.

, and then Chen Zhengda taught him how to use tactics and coordination with soldiers in regular military camps, and his combat effectiveness was greatly increased.

With this team of martial arts warriors protecting the safety of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, Mao Chihong sent people down the mountain to rob several times, but they were all repulsed without even catching a hair, and the lives of more than a dozen bandits were lost. However, to attack

It was not easy to enter their stronghold. After thinking for a long time, Chen Zhengda decided to send martial artists to destroy them.

The checkpoints along the way were quickly cleared, and within a few days the troops arrived at the Queen Bee Valley. Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Chihong hurriedly reduced his troops. All the gangsters retreated to the mountain stronghold, and relied on the dangerous terrain to fight against the martial artists. Because of the business operation

For many years, the village had sufficient food and grass, and there was a lake on the mountain, so there was no need to worry about water sources. The martial artists belonged to different caravans, and they would move along with the business of the caravans, so they could not stay at the mountain pass for a long time.

"Martial masters are like water, and fortresses are like rocks. The water will flow away after a few days, and the rocks will stay here forever for thousands of years." Liu Chihong laughed and said to his subordinates: "Let's see how long they can hold on. Once July is over, the river water will rise.

When the ship's news comes again, the caravan must leave. This is still our world."

Chen Zhengda was also worried about this matter. If he could not get rid of him this time, there would be trouble in the future. He was thinking about what to do next. His wife Wang Xiaomi came in and said to him: "Husband, yesterday, I had a strange dream.

, I saw a group of ants circling around me, telling me to station the troops at a high place the day after tomorrow, and the bandits would be captured the day after tomorrow. When I woke up, I saw a group of ants beside the bed. "

The ant asked her in her dream, which was very strange. Chen Zhengda suddenly remembered something, bowed his head and saluted her and said: "It must be that my wife did some good deeds in the valley, and the ant came to repay her kindness and help me defeat the enemy."

Before getting married, when brewing the imperial wine of the Peach Club in the Sky Canyon, a group of ants were unable to eat in the winter and came to the wine kiln to look for food. Wang Xiaomi not only did not kill them with the boneless lanterns in the barrier, but also gave them some

The distiller's grains help them survive the harsh winter, because these distiller's grains are leftover from brewing fairy wine, so they have a lifespan different from ordinary ants. Somehow, some of the ants were transported to Qinzhou with their luggage, and

They breed in groups. Wang Xiaomi is kind-hearted and leaves some leftovers for them every day.

Wang Xiaomi couldn't figure out how powerful the ants could be in helping us catch the bandits despite being so small. But since he had such a strange dream, he would rather believe that it existed than believe that it didn't exist. So he ordered the martial arts masters to choose a high ground to camp.

It was not a rainy day, so why should we camp on high ground? The martial artists were extremely puzzled. However, the military orders were overwhelming, so they obeyed them anyway. In the morning of the next day, they suddenly heard shouts in the village and a huge stream of water poured down.

.It turned out that the barrier lake collapsed, and the flood instantly submerged the village, overflowing the protective wall and flowing onto the mountain road. Along with the flood, many bodies of drowned bandits floated down. In the afternoon, the water receded, and Chen Zhengda led the martial artists.

Without any effort, they captured all the remaining 20 bandits. The bandit leader Liu Chihong resisted Yu and was killed by the martial arts master.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Zhengda led his government officials to carefully check how the barrier lake burst. This lake was formed during an earthquake tens of thousands of years ago. The natural dam is very strong. Otherwise, the gangsters would not choose

It acts as a natural barrier. A road is like a dike of thousands of miles, but it breaks down in one ant. The ants asked in their dreams, could it be that they dug through the dike? Chen Zhengda took a closer look and saw that there were many ants rolling into balls on the edge of the breach. The outer layer

The ants had been drowned in the water, but the ants inside were still alive and well. Wang Xiaomi carefully carried the ant ball to the shore. After a while, the ant ball dispersed, with a queen ant in the middle.

Sure enough, they dug through the dam of the barrier lake one by one with their mouths and flooded the bandit's village. Chen Zhengda and Wang Xiaomi piled the dead ants together, buried them with soil, and erected a monument for it and wrote a letter to them.

He recited the words "Yi Ant Mound", knelt down in front of the mound and bowed three times.

Jin Huabin heard this and said: "The story is indeed wonderful. Is there an inscription on the ant mound recorded in the state or county annals?"

Officer Niu shook his head and said: "That's not true. The state chronicles are all about major events. It's good to include this event in it."

"It's a pity. If there is a record, it must be a strange article." Su Yuehong said helpfully: "I wonder if it has been spread among the people?"

"You know, this is a place where hundreds of ethnic groups live together, and everyone's cultural level is not high. Most of the inscriptions are wrinkled stories. There are really not many that can be recorded. However, the stories have been passed down. After the stele was erected, the first

The next day, the couple had a dream together. They dreamed that a group of ants thanked them and said: "Thank you so much for erecting a monument for us to explain our achievements. After seeing the report, the King of Hell was deeply impressed by our righteous deeds of eliminating harm to the people, so he made a

The document allows us to be reincarnated as dogs in our next life."."

Jin Huabin asked very puzzledly: "What happens when you are reincarnated as a dog?"

"Don't you understand this? In the six realms of reincarnation, there are the heavenly realm, the asura realm, the human realm, the animal realm, the hungry ghost realm, the hell realm, etc. The pain and joy are uneven, but the soul is reincarnated and immortal." Niu Ganshi gestured.

Said: "Other life forms such as insects, fish and various animals do not have souls. When they die, they leave nothing behind in this world. Although they are reincarnated as dogs, they enter the six realms and their souls enter reincarnation, which is a great kindness to them.

.”

This point of view is indeed very novel. Jin Huabin hurriedly recorded it in his mobile phone notebook and continued to listen to Officer Niu telling the story of Chen Zhengda.
