(The Chinese New Year is coming soon and I’m really busy. Please be considerate of each other!)
Da Zhuang knew about Yao Ying, and Xikten told him about it, so he didn't think much about it.
Although he also wanted a handsome Haidongqing, and he knew that if he asked for it, his sister would definitely give it to him, but this was given to his sister by his grandfather, and he couldn't take it.
So after pestering Uncle Jianye and promising that he would find a sea turtle for him in the future, Da Zhuang happily went to Haichuan to show off.
Their family not only has four mountain guard dogs, but also has a Haidongqing. This is comparable to Grandpa Sun's family in Qingxi Village. Although his family only has two mountain guard dogs, he gave birth to a litter of puppies last month. There are seven in total.
Da Zhuang left happily, but Yun Shu could not be so heartless. When she saw Tong Jianye taking things so seriously, she immediately thought of the jewelry in the secret room of the cellar, what Mr. Wang said, and what the ancestor of the Jin family did. Pai, and Mr. Tong’s actions!
She always felt that what was waiting for her next would be a depth charge, but Yun Shu didn't like the current situation of one mystery after another, especially about herself, so she chose to listen.
And Tong Jianye really lived up to Yun Shu's expectations, and the story he told was indeed exciting.
Speaking of Changbai Mountain, the earliest known record about Changbai Mountain comes from Buxian Mountain in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". At that time, "Buxian Mountain" meant "mountain with gods".
The Jurchen tribe, later known as the Manchus, have thrived in Changbai Mountain for generations. When the Later Jin Dynasty was established, Nurhaci, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, had already placed Changbai Mountain in a high position.
After the Manchus entered the customs, they ordered the establishment of wicker borders, sealed the Changbai Mountain area as a holy land, and prohibited people from entering the mountains to graze, hunt, and collect ginseng.
Several accomplished emperors in the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing, all personally came to the Northeast to worship the birthplace of their ancestors - Changbai Mountain, and built a worship hall nearby to worship the Changbai Mountain God.
In addition to these overt bans and sacrifices, there were also secret deployments that only the Manchu rulers knew about - the eight mountain guards.
The eight mountain guardians were selected when Nurhachi was still alive. They all came from the most prominent and famous families in the Qing Dynasty, namely Tong Jia, Niu Colu, Dong E, Guar Jia, and Ma Jia. , Suochuoluo family, Qijia family, Fucha family and Nala family.
The people who lead these eight tribes of mountain guards are the descendants of Nurhachi and the blood of the Aixinjueluo family. Because they need to turn light into darkness and escape after death, Nurhaci personally gives the surname Jin, not only to the eight tribes of mountain guards. The leader also serves as a shaman.
From the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty by Nurhachi to the fall of the Qing Dynasty, from 1616 to 1912, for nearly three hundred years, eight mountain guards and the descendants of the Jin family guarded the holy mountain for generations.
The rulers of the Qing Dynasty would secretly send a batch of sacrifices to the holy mountain every year. This was a rule that every emperor must abide by.
These offerings include real gold and silver, jewelry and antiques. In three hundred years, it has been accumulated into a terrifying treasure.
The world must be united if it is divided for a long time, and it must be divided if it is united for a long time. This is an unchanging law. No emperor can live forever, and no dynasty or country can last forever.
These things are not so much sacrifices to the Holy Mountain as they are a way of survival left by the ancestors to future generations or capital that can make a comeback.
After all, the sacred mountain has spirit, so why are these vulgar things! The only people who need these things are ordinary people.
The corruption and incompetence of the rulers, the invasion of foreign enemies, the indignation of the people... all these clearly heralded the end of an empire, so the demise of the Qing Dynasty was not sudden at all, and was even expected by everyone.
The eight mountain guards had always ignored the ups and downs of the outside world, but this time, they were angered.
Restoration?
Seeing the noble master being supported as a puppet by the Japanese, Jin Alin, the great shaman guarding the mountain of this generation, shed tears and asked three questions.
"Whose country is being restored?"
"Whose subjects are we?"
“If China perishes, where will the country be?”
At that time, Mr. Tong was still a brawny man with a bad temper. Seeing the nobles in suits and leather suits in the Manchukuo palace and the arrogant Japanese devils, he couldn't help but take action.
(When talking about this, Tong Jianye touched his nose and said that his grandfather did not explain clearly what happened at that time. In short, Mr. Tong became a pig teammate.)
In order to save his good brothers who followed him to the Puppet Manchukuo Palace to question the noble master, Jin Alin pretended to agree to the request of the Japanese. Five thousand Japanese soldiers followed them back to Changbai Mountain, and were tricked and killed by eight mountain guards.
But in the end, some Japs survived. What awaits the eight mountain guards is endless revenge, and many innocent people are implicated.
That year, the entire Changbai Mountain was dyed red with blood. Even the perennial snow could not cover up the blood, which drove all the surviving mountain guards crazy.
Then Jin Alin donated to the country the sacrifices that had been offered to the holy mountain for nearly three hundred years since Taizu Nurhachi in the Qing Dynasty, just to drive little Japan out of China.
Later, little Japan really went away in despair, the civil war ended, and New China was established, but the eight mountain guards were still there.
Yun Shu didn't expect that a simple small village could hide such a big secret, and that the old ancestor with a sick face in Da Ya's memory was actually a great hero who stood upright.
However, although this news was shocking, compared to Yun Shu's own background, it was nothing more than a big witch, so she quickly came to her senses and looked at Tong Jianye who was so moved by her.
"Uncle Jianye, why did I ask you to tell me these past events that should be considered secrets?" After saying that, Yun Shu was a little confused. She pointed to her small body and said, "I'm only ten years old!"
Although she can't pretend to be a child, she doesn't want to carry the burden for the rest of her life. She won't grow taller.
In fact, Yun Shu had subconsciously thought of the reason. After all, the only bloodline left in the Jin family was her and her two younger brothers, but why was it her? Aren't the two boys Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang more suitable?
Tong Jianye looked at Yun Shu, who could still ask questions so calmly after hearing his shocking news. If it were anyone else, he would just think that the child was young and might not understand.
But with his blind worship of Jin A-Lin and his grandfather's advice, Tong Jianye finally understood why both Uncle Jin and his grandfather decided to let Yun Shu inherit the position of the Jin family. This child was born to be the Holy Mountain. 's guardian.
Look, her eyes are so deep, like the water of Tianchi; listen, her voice is so clear, like the gurgling water in the mountains and forests; look, her expression is so indifferent, just like the white caps that remain unchanged all year round and are always dotted with the holy mountains. Snow.
Well, this is the lyrical version. The realistic version is that Tong Jianye pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, took out two household registration books that his father had modified without authorization and handed them to Yun Shu.
"At first, your mother wanted to marry someone else, but she and your father saw eye to eye. The only condition for your ancestor to agree to your mother's marriage was that the first child she gave birth to must be named Jin."
Yun Shu was flipping through one of the books. It belonged to Daya's family. The head of the household, Wang Jinzhu, and his wife, Jin Shunxin, had already canceled the two pages. She was about to turn down the page when she heard Tong Jianye's words. Her hands stopped... She really has a "throne" to inherit!
