Seven hundred years ago, Feizi raised horses between Wei and Wei for King Xiao of Zhou Dynasty. The horses were dying, which made King Zhou very happy. He decided to reward Feizi and allowed him to build a city in a place called "Qin" and divide the land into "Qin".
vassal.
Since then, there has been an additional clan named "Qin" in the world.
This was also the first time Qin Shihuang came to Qinyi. He stood on the top of Xiaoyi and looked around, but he saw a small platform here at the intersection of two small rivers. It was bordered by Yagou to the west and Mount Qiu to the north. In addition to the small river
Outside of the thousands of acres of land nearby, it is occupied by woods and shrubs far and wide. Otherwise, there are lonely and bleak rocks with almost nowhere to go. The dark mountains stretch to the north, blocking the biting cold wind in winter.
Before coming here, the First Emperor had no idea that the land where his ancestors originally lived was such a barren land...
He turned back and looked at the Prime Minister Wang Wan who was accompanying him: "Prime Minister, what is the rank of Zhou Shi's vassal?"
Wang Wan responded: "Your Majesty, a vassal is lower than a senior official, roughly equivalent to a sergeant in the Spring and Autumn Period."
Qin Shihuang couldn't help but sigh: "Chu people often boast that their ancestors made blue roads to open up the mountains and forests. Is it not the case for my ancestors? In seven hundred years, thirty-six generations, from vassals to emperors, from a mere small town to Jiuzhou
Lord."
This is a leap from earth to sky, a miracle created by the people of Qin.
As the person who finally completed this mission, Qin Shihuang could not hide his pride in his heart, but then he thought of the strange dream he had a few days ago when he was worshiping Feizi between the rivers and rivers...
What kind of hint did the ancestor Feizi want to give himself through this dream? "Your Majesty!"
The travel-worn doctor ordered Wang Li to climb up to the city, cupped his hands and said, "The great witch from Xichou has arrived!" "You've come just in time!"
After Qin Shihuang passed Longshan, he stopped and walked around the palaces in counties and cities along the way, in order to listen to the witches' blessings to interpret his dreams in Qinyi, the first place where the Qin people had a foothold.
Xichou is the largest temple in Guanzhong that is older than Chen Bao Temple. More than 500 years ago, the Zhou Dynasty moved eastward to Luoyi to escape the disaster of dog soldiers. At that time, Qin Xianggong, who was just a "Western Frontier Doctor", sent troops to escort him.
, for his meritorious service, he was made a vassal by King Ping of Zhou and given the title of "Uncle Qin", and was given the land west of Qishan Mountain.
Until then, Qin, which had always been just a vassal and official, officially founded the country and gained the power to engage with the princes as envoys. Qin Xianggong was very happy, so he established the Xichou Temple in Qiyi (Long County), the capital of Qin at that time, and used it as a temple.
Three colts, three oxen, and three rams were sacrificed to the ancestor of the Ying surname, Bai Di Shaohao.
All Qin Shihuang had high expectations for the great wizard Wu Ya of Xichou, but what disappointed him was that the wizard was old and was already exhausted after being carried in the car by the impatient Wang Li.
Over and over again, it's still the same routine as in "Ri Shu", with no new insights.
Qin Shihuang was quite dissatisfied, and waved his sleeves to let Wu Ya go down, thinking: "Li Si once said in his "Admonishment and Expulsion Book" that the Qin State must be born and then use it. It is a luminous jade that does not decorate the court; a rhinoceros-like weapon,
It is not for fun; the daughters of Zheng and Wei are not used in the harem, and the Junliang Juéti is not used as a stable, the gold and tin in the south of the Yangtze River are not used, and the paintings of Xishu are not harvested. "" Not only the products, but also the talents are like this.
The same is true for witches and divination people. The Qin witches are dull and stupid. They only know how to flip through a few volumes of Japanese books and explain the meaning of my dreams, which is no different from that of the common people in Guizhou! How roundabout! If I had known this, I might as well abandon the near and seek the far away.
Go and bring the Yan and Qi alchemists from Xianyang to find out what's going on, which may satisfy me."
The emperor asked people to interpret dreams, but he did not fully believe what the dream interpreters said. He had to make sure that what they said was in line with his own wishes.
Just as he was thinking this, Lang Wei reported that the black man who went to Chencang to pick up someone was also back. "Forget it, let's see what the great witch Chen Bao said."
Qin Shihuang did not have much hope. He had decided that if he was still not satisfied, these local shamans could stay in those temples forever and never have to go to Xianyang again in this life...
However, Wu Zhi in Chen Bao Temple was still the same as before, with a sallow appearance and a phlegm-like voice when he spoke, which made the emperor quite unhappy. However, after listening to the emperor absentmindedly recounting his dream, Wu Zhi thought for a moment and suddenly fell to the ground.
Worship: "Your Majesty's dream, I already know the reason."
He bowed deeply and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, this is a great auspicious sign! It is comparable to the seven-day war between Duke Mu!"
Duke Mu of Qin once fell into a coma for seven days and dreamed of going to the residence of the Emperor of Heaven, traveling in Juntian, and playing Guanglei music. This was regarded by successive monarchs of Qin as a sign that Haotian would choose Qin to dominate. This is quite different from Wang Wan and Wu Ya.
, but it made Qin Shihuang a little more patient, nodded, and asked him to continue. "Witch, please elaborate." "I hope your majesty can allow me to start from the twelve golden people in the dream." Wu Zhi started.
Talking about it. "At the beginning of the twenty-sixth year, twelve giants appeared in Lintao, five feet long, wearing Di clothes, with footprints six feet long..." The ministers and alchemists all thought that this was His Majesty's destiny.
, there is no doubt that it is a good omen to be called the emperor within a sea, but no one can tell clearly where the twelve giants came from and where they went. The old man was also at a loss for a while, but not long ago, I read Chen Bao
When I was reading the prayers left by the shamans of the past generations in the temple, I made an unexpected discovery! "
Regarding the truth about the Twelve Golden People, Qin Shihuang became more interested. "A hundred years ago, Wu Zhu of Chen Bao Temple once worshiped Kuafu, so I thought that these twelve giants were actually after Kuafu!"
"This is a new explanation. Qin Shihuang became more interested and began to listen carefully." In the wilderness, there is a mountain named Chengdu Zaitian. There are two yellow snakes called Er and two yellow snakes named Kuafu.
, Kuafu is also a giant."
"Another saying: Kuafu was racing with the sun, wanting to see the sunset. On the way, Kuafu felt thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he ran to the big river, the Wei River, to drink water; the Yellow River and the Wei River did not have enough water.
Then he went to Daze in the north to drink water. Unexpectedly, he died of thirst after only walking half way. His head turned into Longshan, his arms turned into Qinling and Jitoushan, and his feet turned into Weihan. Even the mahogany cane was thrown at his feet.
, turned into a peach forest, this is the origin of the Peach Forest Fortress...and the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are just Kuafu's spacious back."
This is a new explanation. Qin Shihuang nodded slightly and listened with gusto. "After Kuafu's death, he inherited Kuafu's ambition and continued to move westward. As for Kunlun and Tianshan, he attached himself to the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West and called him the Jusou clan..."
The story of Kuafu Zhuri and Queen Mother of the West was widely circulated in the Central Plains, but Wu Zhi was the first to combine the two. Qin Shihuang's eyes lit up: "The great witch means that the twelve giants are the giants after Kuafu."
Sou's family, and they are envoys sent by the Queen Mother of the West?" "Of course."
Wu Zhi followed the emperor's wishes and said: "I thought that it was probably your majesty's achievements in one sea, which spread along the west of the river, across the quicksand, to the Tianshan Mountains and between Kunlun. When the Queen Mother of the West heard about it, she ordered the twelve giants after Kuafu to come to see the emperor.
However, the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West is a land of gods and immortals. The twelve giants came to the world, and mortal eyes could only glimpse them for a moment, and then they were invisible. ""Only Your Majesty gathered the soldiers of the six countries, sharpened dysprosium, and cast them into golden figures.
Second, let the twelve giants attach themselves to the golden people. Now that your majesty has passed Longshan and wants to open up the west, the giants have come to visit you in their dreams. They probably want to invite your majesty to go to the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West like King Mu of Zhou did..."
After that, Wu Zhi started to learn and sell it, and talked about the story he saw in the "Biography of Emperor Mu".
"It is said that the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West is in the ruins of Kunlun, or on the Tianshan Mountains, and there is a Yaochi in the sky. In the past, King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty traveled far and wide, and ordered him to ride on eight horses. The right one was wearing Hualiu, the left was green, the right was red, and the left was white.
With Zaofu in charge of the chariot, he drove five thousand miles to the kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West. Then he visited the Queen Mother of the West and drank wine on the Yaochi. The Queen Mother of the West sang a song to the king, and the king greeted her with a mournful speech. He also followed the Queen Mother of the West with a dragon chariot.
To drive, I went to Yu Valley on the coast of the West Sea to watch the sun. I traveled thousands of miles in one day..."
"It is often said by future generations that King Mu of Zhou enjoyed all the happiness in his life and still lived for a hundred years before he died. People at that time thought that he had become an immortal. It is said that this was because after drinking the fine wine from the Queen Mother of the West, he could
longevity……"
As Wu Zhi's local legend was combined with "The Biography of Emperor Mu", Qin Shihuang was sitting upright, immersed in the legend of the Queen's Motherland. After Wu Zhi finished speaking, there were still some unfinished thoughts.
If you think about it carefully, King Zhou Mu's hobbies are somewhat similar to his. They don't like to stay in one place all their lives, but want to see the vastness of the world and the beauty of the nine states.
Qin Shihuang couldn't help but sigh: "My achievements are greater than those of the three emperors, and my virtue is greater than that of the five emperors, but I am a little envious of King Zhou Mu, a mediocre and successful leader."
Wu Zhi also said: "That's why the Queen Mother of the West asked the twelve giants to invite Your Majesty to go west!"
Qin Shihuang said: "I once heard Wushi Luo say that the west is vast, the quicksand is thousands of miles away, and there are Qiang people, Rong kings, and Yueshi people in the way. How can we go there easily?"
Wu Zhi said: "That's why in your majesty's dream, there are white horses to carry you and black dogs to guide you, helping your majesty to travel west."
But Qin Shihuang frowned: "Wait a minute, the scene in the dream is clearly a white horse and a black dog leading me east."
"When Your Majesty scanned the mirror, you found that the direction in the mirror was opposite to that in the real world, and the same was true in the dream. Besides, didn't the black dog lead Your Majesty to find the Twelve Golden Man?"
Qin Shihuang raised his hands in front of his chin and said, "Please tell me more about the white horse and the black dog." I heard that a few days ago, in the Qinian Palace in Yongcheng, a minister suggested that your Majesty fill in the Longxi area.
Open up Hexi?"
Wu Zhi smiled mysteriously, but did not point it out directly: "Your Majesty, who do you think the black dog that leads your Majesty is?" "Xituo... the black dog..."
Qin Shihuang straightened up, looked past Wu Zhi, and looked at the door of the hall, where Heifu, the chief minister of the Shaofu, was sitting upright with an upright look on his face, but he looked darker than everyone else.
He showed a smile of understanding. "I have heard someone say that when Hei Fu was the director of the pavilion, he once called himself the Great Qin Tengu?"
