Chapter three hundred and ninety sixth death book
However, although the villagers were very popular, only Monk Kong dared to walk near the hill.
The other villagers stopped in the distance, shaking flags and shouting. Monk Kong rushed directly to Lu Yu with big strides, and didn't even look at the bones under his feet. He said to Lu Yu, "Master! Where is the ghost?"
"Ghost?" Lu Yu was stunned, looked left and right at the neatly arranged bones and said, "What are you talking about?"
Monk Kong has experienced a real battlefield. He doesn’t care about the bloody and bloody Hell on the battlefield. How could he be afraid of these dead bones?
He glanced at the bones and said, "Master, don't joke. I heard that you dug up the graves of the evil ghosts, and the nine evil ghosts rushed out to seek their lives! I have learned some Buddhist scriptures from you before, and it is more than enough to deal with evil ghosts!"
It turned out that the villagers who ran back to the village from Huolonggang had spread rumors and had turned the discovery of bones into "diging open the gate of the Jiuyou Underworld."
Monk Kong is the one who doesn’t believe in evil the most. He is even more worried about the safety of his master Lu Yu, so he hurriedly brought people to "catch ghosts".
As for the other villagers who followed, they naturally thought that Monk Kong was really a Taoist monk who could catch ghosts, and they also came to open their eyes and see the scene of the monk fighting against evil ghosts.
Lu Yu, Professor Huang and others shook their heads and laughed.
"Good apprentice, please collect the magical powers first. I will use them next time I have the chance. There are only living people here."
"Oh..." When Monk Kong heard this, he scratched his head in disappointment, turned around and glared at a villager who was spreading rumors, and then gave up.
Lu Yu was also amused and cried for a while before continuing to tease: "By the way, Monk Kong, I heard that you have been in the village recently with good popularity?"
During this period, Monk Kong has been helping the villagers in the village to work, and it is also heavy work that ordinary people cannot do, so the villagers are very grateful to him. It is precisely because of this that so many villagers come to "catch ghosts" together today.
When Monk Kong heard this, he couldn't help but smile proudly and said, "Master knows everything? Didn't he just learn from Lei Feng and do some good deeds! Who said it with such a big mouth? Hehe..."
"Oh by the way!" Speaking of this, Monk Kong suddenly remembered something, reached out and took out an envelope in his pocket and said, "A few days ago, I discovered this when I was helping with a big stone mill in the village committee. It seems to be a bit old. Master, please see if it is useless?"
"Oh?" Lu Yu took it and saw that the kraft envelope was obviously a bit old. There was no text written on it, and it seemed that it had not been taken apart.
Monk Kong explained: "I didn't open the envelope, I just tried to look at it when my master came back! Everyone in the village said that no one had touched the big stone mill for at least a hundred years."
Hundreds of years...
Lu Yu and the two professors looked at each other.
When Professor Wu heard that it was a letter hundreds of years ago, his eyes lit up and said, "Display it open and take a look!"
Lu Yu also had the same idea and immediately carefully opened the envelope...
"The kiln in Yixing began in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the kiln was a round flame-raising burner... and even the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the kiln was like a dragon, and it was passed down for thousands of years..."
Just seeing this first paragraph, everyone took a breath of air conditioning!
This is clearly a record of the kiln firing history in Yixing! The local kiln firing history in Yixing can directly trace back to the Western Zhou Dynasty thousands of years ago?!
With the light, Lu Yu and the others could clearly see the look of surprise in each other's eyes. The content in this letter was so shocking!
Professor Wu murmured: "At least one thing is absolutely impossible to be wrong. Before the Tang Dynasty, most kilns were indeed round-shaped flame-raising kilns... Keep watching!"
The next few passages are all about recording the development history of local kilns in Yixing.
Although there are not many words, they are also very short and detailed, which makes people see at a glance.
But when it comes to the third page, the topic suddenly changes!
"Now the barbarians are rampant, the country is weak and the people are in poverty, and the government is mediocre. When foreign ghosts are afraid of them, they are like Shura. However, the barbarians are becoming more and more unscrupulous, wanting to destroy my thousand-year-old inheritance..."
"Now, we are one hundred and sixteen three brothers in Huanglong Mountain Village. Although we are called bandits, we dare not abandon the righteousness of our family and country... When we hear the news tomorrow, the barbarian army will arrive. Our brothers will swear to destroy the barbarians and live and die together with our Huaxia Dragon Kiln!"
"We have been a man for a lifetime and have been abandoned for half a lifetime! Our brothers are worthy of being famous in history, but this time we go to the righteous will die and not live, to strengthen the morale of the army, to boost the prestige of the country, and to keep our reputation here. I hope that those who come later will not forget each other!"
"Huanglong Mountain Village Master, Cui Long, Deputy Village Master, Cheng Hao, Military Advisor, Wang Luzhong. Peak of the Gate, Chen Ergou. Peak of the Gate, Wang Sanpao..."
...
Thousands of words, every word is iron-clad, passionate!
There are hundreds and sixteen three people, and everyone has blood heat and is famous throughout the past and present!
Above the hills, under the searchlights, there is a silence, and the world is silent.
This is actually a "death letter"!
After reading this book, Lu Yu and others turned their heads again to look at the rows of cold bones not far away, and couldn't help but sigh and feel awe.
It turns out that the original owners of these skeletons were all heroic souls who died in order to protect this dragon kiln!
Soon, the sirens sounded and police officers arrived at the scene.
Under the command of Professor Wu, the excavation work continued to begin, and more bones were excavated one after another.
Until the afternoon of the next day, almost all the bones were unearthed, with no more or less, exactly one hundred and sixty-three pieces!
When two armies fight, the victorious side will naturally remove the corpses of their own people, and the corpses of the enemy are often buried on the spot.
In other words, these 163 skeletons are the 163 heroes of Huanglong Mountain Village guarding this Dalong Kiln!
These heroes fulfilled their promised oath and fought for this Dalong kiln until the last moment, the last one!
Immediately afterwards, new discoveries were made in archaeological excavations...
In the deeper soil, a large number of ruins burned by fire were found!
After preliminary archaeological restoration, the original buildings on these wrecks were more than 95% consistent with the Dalong Kiln!
Combined with the "Death Book" left in the village and these 163 skeletons, the scene at that time can be completely inferred...
The heroes in Huanglong Mountain Village received news that the "barbarians" or foreign troops were expected to come to destroy the Dalong Kiln early the next morning, and the heroes in the village were also ready to fight to the death.
But for some reason, the foreigners came earlier than in the information. When the heroes arrived, the fire was already rising from the dragon kiln!
In a bloody battle, all 163 heroes were killed.
In order to cover up the atrocities, the foreigners buried all these heroes and the Dalong Kiln site before evacuating.
