July 15th, the gate of hell opens wide

Night falls.

Finally we arrived at a small town before dark.

The town is not small.

There are restaurants, inns, and even gambling houses.

Shu people love to play, and everyone knows it.

As the saying goes: If you are young, you will not enter Sichuan, and if you are old, you will not leave Shu.

Among them, there are two theories for Shaobui entering Sichuan. The first is that in ancient times, before development, the Sichuan area was a barbaric land. The barbaric land was the best place for the imperial courts of all dynasties to exile prisoners. The emperor used this

It is said that the first emperor of Qin wanted to exile Lu Buwei to Sichuan, but Lu Buwei died of illness on the way. Of course, Lu Buwei " committed suicide by drinking poison on the way." It is precisely because Shuchuan is backward and remote, so people

I would advise everyone not to go to Sichuan when you are young. The information here is limited and the culture is backward. It is difficult to achieve a career!

Second, on the contrary, it is said that Sichuan is a land of abundance, with beautiful mountains and rivers, rich products, no worries about food and drink, and beautiful women like clouds. If a young man enters Sichuan, even if he has great ambitions for the world, he will linger in such tenderness and never want to return.

, was wasted! From then on, a whole body of talent and youth were wasted. It is difficult to achieve great things through a dull life! The so-called hero is short-tempered but the love of his children is long! Born in sorrow and died in happiness!

It would be much easier if you are old and don't leave Shu. Because Sichuan has a basin landform, rich products, and a large population, this has also made the local food culture and entertainment culture very developed! People's cost of survival here is very low, and the pressure of life is also very low.

It is very small, and you can still play leisurely, taste tea, gamble, set up dragon gate formations, and enjoy a "leisurely and leisurely" life. It is simply a paradise to enjoy your life!

After asking, the town's name was "Liu Shu Town" and it was the seat of the Shehong County government.

Everyone thinks it’s no wonder this town is so prosperous. It turns out that the county master also lives here!

As for the history of Shehong County, it can be said that the river is as old as the river, in other words, it is very long.

In the past, King Huiwen of Qin destroyed Ba and Shu and established Ba and Shu counties. The Western Han Dynasty moved Ba and Shu County to Guanghan County, which governed the thirteen counties of Guanghan. The dividing line between Guanghan County and Li County is from Fujiang River to the east and west.

The Zitong River is the boundary, that is, the area east of the Fujiang River and the left bank of the Zitong River is Guanghan County. The area on the west bank of the Fujiang River and the right bank of the Zitong River is Qi County.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang seized power and established the "new" dynasty. He changed Yizhou to Yongbu, Guanghan County to the capital, and Guanghan County to Guangxin County. In the past, Shehong County belonged to Guangxin and Qi counties.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu came to power and restored the names of Yizhou, Guanghan County, and Guanghan County. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the territory of Shehong County still belonged to Guanghan and Qi counties.

In the second year of Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms, the emperor divided Guanghan County into four counties and established Dongguanghan County. The county governed Guanghan County. In the sixth year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty abolished Dongguanghan County and restored it to Guanghan County. In the third year of Emperor Mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Emperor Yonghe deposed Deyang County and established it.

In Suining County, in the second year of Emperor Gong's Yuanxi reign, Liu Yu seized power from the Jin Dynasty and established the Liu Song Dynasty. He divided Guanghan County into Xincheng County, which governed Beiwucheng County and administered Beiwucheng and Huaigui counties. In the fifth year of Taishi of Liu Song Dynasty (Emperor Ming Dynasty)

Suining County was renamed East Suining County in 2001, and the county was governed by Baxing County. Guanghan County was affiliated to East Suining County.

The Xiaoliang Dynasty withdrew Qi County and merged it into North Wucheng County.

county.

Yuwen Taiping of the Western Wei Dynasty pacified Shu. In the second year of Emperor Gong's reign, Wucheng County was divided into northern Wucheng County and Shejiang County was placed under the jurisdiction of Changcheng County. According to "Yuanhe County Chronicles", Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty changed Xidanqu County to Yongquan County and moved the county to Yongquan.

The county governs Yongquan and Guangwei (renamed Guanghan) counties.

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Shejiang County was changed to Shehong County, and Shehong got its name from then on! That is, the county name of Shehong County is still used after the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty dismissed the counties and established prefectures. Yongquan County and Changcheng County were abolished, Tongjing County was changed to Tongquan County, and Guanghan County was merged into Tongquan County.

Shehong and Tongquan counties belong to Xinzhou. In the 18th year of Kaihuang's reign, Xinzhou was renamed Zizhou, and Shehong and Tongquan counties belonged to Zizhou. In the third year of Emperor Yang's great cause, the prefecture was dismissed and counties were established, and Shehong and Tongquan counties were established.

Belongs to Xincheng County.

In the first year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, Xincheng County was renamed Zizhou, and Shehong and Tongquan counties belonged to Zizhou. In the first year of Xuanzong Tianbao, Zizhou was changed to Zitong County. In the first year of Qianyuan, Zitong County was renamed Zizhou. Shehong and Tongquan were

The affiliation of the two counties remains unchanged.

Shehong County is known as "Four Counties".

First, there are many towns and villages, including Taihe Town, Dayu Town, Guangxing Town, Jinhua Town, Liushu Town, Taiyi Town, Jinjia Town, Fuxing Town, Tianxian Town, Renhe Town, Qinggang Town, Yangxi Town, and Xiangshan Town.

Town, Mingxing Town, Fuxi Town, Chengu Town, Fenglai Town, Tongshe Town, Caobei Town, Guansheng Town, Quhe Township, Fuhe Township, Qingdi Township, Shuangxi Township, Wensheng Township, Wanlin

There are more than 30 towns including Taixing Township, Dongyue Township, Jinhe Township, and Yutai Township.

Second, there are many ethnic groups. There are nearly 20 ethnic groups here including the Yi, Tibetan, Qiang, Miao, Hui, Dong, Yao, Mongolian, Tujia, Lisu, Manchu, Naxi, Buyi, Bai, Zhuang, and Dai ethnic groups.

.

Third, it has a large population, with a total of 13,000 households and 70,000 people, accounting for one-third of Suizhou.

Fourth, there are many delicacies, including crispy duck, spiced juice beef, Medina spiced beef, shredded beef, fruit beef, pizza, spiced dried tofu and other famous dishes.

In addition, water transport in Shehe is developed, with two waterways, the Fujiang River and the Zijiang River.

Everyone found an inn and stayed in it.

When the shopkeeper saw that Feng Jiuxiao was injured, he took a second look. Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm not a bad person. This leg was bitten by a tiger."

The shopkeeper sneered, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Letting you live is out of affection, but not letting you live is out of duty. You clearly got a stab wound, how dare you lie to me?"

Feng Jiuxiao hurriedly clasped her fists and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, no matter what the injury is, I'm disturbing you tonight!"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly, "Follow me."

Chang Zijin and Li Erni looked at each other and looked at each other. They had never seen a shopkeeper with such a bad temper! However, it was a troubled time at this time, so no one dared to talk much, so they followed the shopkeeper to the second floor.

Suddenly, someone outside shouted loudly: "The time is up, lights out!" The voice shouted several times, and then everyone saw a surprising scene. The entire inn suddenly fell into darkness.

Looking outside again, it seemed that it was pitch black outside.

The whole town was plunged into endless darkness!

What was even more surprising was that they seemed to realize that there was no waiter in the inn.

The shopkeeper seemed to sense everyone's doubts. He turned back with a thin and hard face and said coldly: "Today is July 15th, and all the waiters have gone home to visit their graves!" He was holding a candlestick with three candles on it.

The flames danced, and the shadow formed on his face swayed with it. It was so gloomy and terrifying! Chang Zijin couldn't help being startled by the shopkeeper!

There seemed to be no one living on the second floor and it was very quiet.

Li Erni also felt a little uneasy, thinking: This is not a black shop, right? But then she thought about it, Liu Mizhou, Big Wolf, and Zeng Yong were all around, so what about a black shop?

Feng Jiuxiao smiled at this time and said: "Shopkeeper, aren't you trying to save money? Not a single candle has been lit on the entire second floor. It's dark and scary. Can you light a few? We'll pay for it."

The horse-faced shopkeeper sneered, "Are you rich?"

Feng Jiuxiao touched her nose and said, "I'm not very rich. It's just a few candles. I can still afford it."

The shopkeeper had a sullen face and said in a sinister tone: "Then how much do you think these candles are worth?"

In the dead of night, these few words he said were so sinister that Chang Zijin and Chang Zijin suddenly felt terrified!

Feng Jiuxiao didn't seem to feel anything. She didn't notice anything strange about the shopkeeper at all. She still smiled and said, "I can't guess."

The shopkeeper walked ahead and stopped at the door of a room. His voice was as hoarse as a night owl: "One candle, one drop of blood! You can't afford it!"

Feng Jiuxiao was still smiling: "One candle, one drop of blood? Whose blood? My blood?"

The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth raised, and he said coldly: "Your blood? Huh! How much is your blood worth?" He glanced at the crowd, and Chang Zijin and Li Erni were so frightened by him that they heard him faintly say:

"Your accent must be from the Central Plains. It must be your first time here, right?"

Feng Jiuxiao nodded and said: "Exactly."

The shopkeeper said quietly: "Then I will remind you."

Feng Jiuxiao and others saw him acting strangely and speaking nervously. If they hadn't been so bold, they would have mistaken him for a ghost!

He said quietly: "Today is July 15th. The local rules are that no one is allowed to light candles unless they offer their own blood."

Feng Jiuxiao said solemnly: "One candle and one drop of blood?"

The shopkeeper said: "Exactly!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "We use candles, can't we just drop our own blood?"

The shopkeeper said: "No. The candle is mine. Even if you use it, you will still have to drop my blood! And I have already dropped three drops today. It can only be done three times. If you drop one more drop, you will die."

When Li Erni was about to speak, Feng Jiuxiao immediately stopped her and signaled her to stop talking, "Can I use the candle I brought?"

The shopkeeper said: "You can do it tomorrow, but not today! Don't blame me for not reminding you that there is a god three feet above your head! Just now, this lady almost got into trouble! Remember, God is watching what you do, so don't speak nonsense!"

The shopkeeper left mysteriously.

He left with the candlestick.

The whole house fell into darkness again.

Chang Zijin asked: "What can we do?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Let's talk in the house first. We will all crowd into the same room tonight and take turns to rest. I guess something will happen tonight."

Everyone entered the house.

Suddenly I heard Yu Nu ask: "Master Hou, there is a luminous pearl here in the slave family, can you take it out?"

Liu Mizhou did not speak.

There was silence for a moment.

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Take it out!"

Yu Nu seemed to be startled, but soon understood that her husband must be waiting for Mr. Feng’s opinion. Mr. Feng was a great benefactor to the family, and it seemed okay to listen to his decision.
