Folklore starts from the blood god of Xiangxi

Chapter 327 Looking at the past from the present (22)

This county chronicle is not an official county chronicle.

This is a county chronicle compiled by officials and gentry, an ancient rare book 300 years ago. The person who compiled this county chronicle is the Taoist Miao Zhuji of the local "compiler Wangye Temple".

It was Ji Daoren himself who recruited many local wealthy people, took money together, and built this county chronicle together.

In the preface, it also said that the county magistrate at that time, the county magistrate Zong, also made great efforts.

Later, when the officials and county chronicles were being revised, when the comrades of the Cultural Bureau sorted out the materials, all these ancient rare county chronicles were found and placed on the compiler's desk.

For the current official county chronicles, this is undoubtedly first-hand information.

is a fairly reliable reference.

However, because the person who built this book is the priest of the "Wang Ye Temple", Ji Taoist, many of the above words are exaggerated, and many things are forcibly involved in the local folk culture. On the prince's body.

Therefore, in fact, in the local county annals built 50 years ago, many stories in this county annals were written into the "Anecdote and Strange Stories".

In this article, the word "compilation" appears the most.

According to their research.

This prince Zhuan is a local god who belongs exclusively to the local area.

It is a unique folk culture.

It is a collection of the Kitchen God, the God of the Land, and the City God.

In charge of fire, thunder and wind.

There is an obvious suture phenomenon of Taoist culture, local kitchen god culture and land god culture.

According to legend, Zhuan Wangye is a young Taoist image with an eye on his forehead. On his hand is a chain, which symbolizes the power to restrain and prohibit freedom, and on the other hand is a sword, which symbolizes cutting off everything. .

In the local area, there is also the temple of Prince Zhuan, which has been preserved as an antique.

It is more or less a scenic spot.

Incense is also considered good.

If you say that everyone believes in this prince Zhuan, then naturally they don't believe it very much.

But everyone likes to be lively. Every year on Prince Zhuan's Christmas, there will be a lively temple fair. Local people will go there to have a look, and by the way, offer two incense sticks for peace of mind.

The leaders of past dynasties also wanted to develop the local tourism economy and the third economy, and they more or less treated a dead horse as a living horse doctor, packaging the temple of Wangye.

But it failed.

Just as he was thinking, someone connected to the phone over there. Professor Han spoke to this old comrade who is about to retire very politely, saying that I am sorry to trouble you, and what the old comrade who is about to retire says, it can be regarded as a play. Residual heat.

He said that he didn't know how to use a computer, so he dictated to Professor Han. If Professor Han wanted to know, he could fax it if he couldn't.

Professor Han said very politely, no need, you just have to read it to me.

He drank a sip of strong tea, cleared his throat, and flipped through the book. He followed the contents of the book and dictated the past.

This county chronicle consists of six parts.

The very beginning is the preface, which states why the county annals should be compiled, and who will help the county annals. From this, it can be seen that the major editor is Ji Daoren, date, date, and then collection, sub-revision, proofreading. Players wait.

Professor Han didn't care much about these.

It was only after hearing that the major was Ji Daoren, that he proceeded to the second stage.

The second is information on mountains and rivers, customs, population geography, and production animals and plants.

The third point is map records, historical research, territory, mountains and rivers, household registration, land tax and so on.

These, Professor Han only listened to the first few paragraphs, and he asked the old comrades to skip the rest.

When it came to the fourth point, Professor Han began to ask the old comrades to speak carefully.

Because when we get here, it is the sacrificial ceremony annals, the annals of characters and the annals of customs.

The fifth point is history.

At the end, it is a record, an afterword.

When it came to Si Dian Zhi, Professor Han frequently asked questions, and he was very interested in this place.

The old comrade immediately understood.

The purpose of this university professor is here.

Fortunately, the old comrades don't have many other things, that is, they have a lot of time, and the other bad things are that they are patient.

He can repeat the same words to Professor Han several times.

There will be no impatience.

And add your own understanding.

He is a local after all.

After so many years in the Qingshui yamen of the archives, everyone here is "possessing unique skills", some are good at chess, some are good at badminton, he is different , he likes to read.

In the archives, his reading is not subject to any restrictions, old books and newspapers, and these local chronicles, even some archives, he has seen.

Nobody cares.

So while he was talking, Professor Han would still praise him.

People are somewhat competitive and vain, and when they are praised, they are still praised by an "old professor of culture". The old comrades are very face-to-face and very useful.

He pays more attention.

The old comrade put his fingers under the lines of text, moved slowly, brought his face close to the book, and slowly began to speak.

Professor Han on the opposite side was very silent, if it weren't for the "ding" sound from the hospital that appeared from time to time.

The old comrades thought the phone was hung up.

The writing on this county annals is bizarre.

It sounds like a ghost novel.

However, Renmiaozhu pays for people to do the county annals.

The old comrade expressed his understanding, yes, yes.

Even some history books are "suspected" by rumors.

Not to mention temple blessings.

"According to the county annals, the most important deity in the sacrificial canon is Prince Zhuan, but it says that Prince Zhuan is not a local god, he comes from another place, just like Miao Zhu, he comes from elsewhere.

Ji Daoren is actually a Youdao Quanzhen.

He was the Prince Zhuan who later converted to faith. When Prince Zhuan arrived, it happened to be the time when the local bandits were making trouble.

That's right, that's right, that's right, they came from this county with the then new county magistrate, namely Zong Yang.

The county magistrate Zong wanted to deal with the bandits in the county, so he wisely brought some yamen servants to go deep into the bandits' lair.

These Taoists are all true, and there are also the supernatural princes. "

This is what it says in the altar.

He protected the people in the whole city, so he was sacrificed. "

The latter words are even more "weird".

In this book, many things are dark and weird. For example, he bluntly said that apart from the "King Lord", many gods and Buddhas "do not seem to be righteous, cannibals, and bloodthirsty. , compiling the words of humanity and spreading the fire of humanity is the right path.”

He commented on it.

It's just that Miao Zhudan is quite fat and talkative, but it's normal, and it's not just this family who say this.

"However, we can see that there are traces of the bandit's incident, which can be confirmed by several records, and these intertwined, there is some meaning."

"For example, in this county, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was indeed a big bandit family, the Jin family. Later, Zong Yang led the soldiers from the capital and shot the bandits of the Jin family. .”

"And they all mentioned the fire at the same time, which shows that there has indeed been such a fire in history.

It may have nothing to do with the gods, it is a simple fire in the mountains, or it may be the bandits who ignited the fire, but the fire was quite tragic.

In the records, there are records that say, "Screaming again and again, people and ghosts weeping together, heavy rain and hail in the mountains and forests, yellow sand forming mountains, dragons falling from the sky, exhaling into clouds...'"

Professor Han gave a "hmm" on the opposite side, indicating that he was listening, and the old comrade could hear a sense of relief from the other party's tone.

He read it sentence by sentence, and then came to the postscript.

The postscript also records the fire.

However, the records behind the county chronicles are even more strange.

What's more, scary!
It's not intentionally exaggerated horror, it's more like someone described an extremely terrifying thing in words.

"In spring, in April, there was a big fire in the back mountain of Jinjia Town, and Prince Zhuan appeared in the world. The fire will not go out for three days."

"The Jin family is like a ghost, no matter men, women or children, they are all thieves."

"He town is full of ghosts."

"I don't know day and night for three days."

"There are ghosts that cannibalize people at night, and people can't be cured."
