Chapter 756: The Protectorate of the East China Sea (4000)(1/2)
"Wu Taishi, please speak."
Miko Hu relayed.
"I read that "Yangshen Zhi Tong Yao" mentioned that Xu Jun's ancestors had a close relationship with Lu Dai, the last Duke of Qi Kang in Lu Qi. Especially when Lu Dai was exiled by Tian Qi on Yuzhou Mountain, Xu Jun's ancestors even helped him
A lot."
Wu Liang asked, "And Xu Jun's ability to discover the bottomless pit and successfully board the Zuzhou to learn about the properties of the nourishing mushroom and black soil is also related to the past of his ancestors. These things are all recorded in Xu Jun's mention
Among the notes left by our ancestors, I wonder if there are other contents recorded in the notes?"
"The Ancestor God asked you, what do you want to ask?"
After a while, the miko Hu relayed again.
"About Lu Qi and Lu Dai."
Wu Liang said with a smile, "I have seen records in history books that after Lu Dai was exiled to Yuzhou Mountain, Tian Qi still gave him a city of food at the beginning to serve the ancestors of the Lu Qi royal family. However,
Not long after, Tian Qi took back these food towns, and there is no record of the ancestors of the Lu Qi royal family."
"Normally speaking, Lu Dai was exiled to Yuzhou Mountain, and at the same time he had to serve the ancestors of the Lu Qi royal family, so it is very likely that the ancestors of the Lu Qi royal family were also exiled here by Tian Qi. After all, the Lu family is in Qi State
He has a very deep foundation among the people, especially Jiang Taigong, who is the god in the hearts of the people of Qi. If the Tian family wants to secure the position of King of Qi, they cannot allow Lu Qi's ancestors to remain in the royal city for the people to worship. This is very important to the people of Qi.
To Mr. Tian, it is like a thorn in the flesh."
"So I want to know whether the records left by the ancestors of the Xu family record the circumstances of Lu Qi's ancestor sacrifice."
"In addition, the notes left by the ancestors of the Xu family also mentioned the tomb of Lu Dai's son Lu Long, as well as the stone house where Lu Dai once lived and the tomb where his family was buried after his death. But now that I arrived at Yuzhou Mountain, I saw only
We arrived at a mansion built by Tian Heng, but we couldn't find the stone house or tomb bag related to Lu Dai. Can Mr. Xu give me the specific location?"
In fact, in the final analysis, Wu Liang wanted to find out the reason why the aura of "Tai Gong Seal" changed inexplicably after climbing Yuzhou Mountain.
This was something unplanned for this trip, but since it was already here, Wu Liang naturally wanted to find out together before leaving Yuzhou Mountain, so as not to miss anything important.
It's just that Xu Fu and Wu Hu are both outsiders, especially Xu Fu's position when facing Lu Qi's matter is not clear, so Wu Liang does not intend to directly take out the "Tai Gong Seal" to ask for advice, so as not to cause any trouble for no reason.
"The Ancestral God taught me to ask you, what is the purpose of asking these questions?"
The witch shouted again.
"To be honest with Mr. Xu, it's just to find my roots."
Wu Liang never made a draft when he lied. Most importantly, he was always able to perfectly combine the contents of some historical books with lies, leaving the listeners doubtless.
Descendants of Zuo family and Wu Qi."
"The ancestor god said that you are actually a descendant of Wu Qi?"
Witch Hu relayed, "But the ancestors still don't understand, what does this have to do with root-seeking? Wu Qi was used by the state of Lu to defeat the Qi army, and then he was used by the state of Wei to defeat the Qin army, and then he was used by the state of Chu to revive the reform.
He defeated the Wei State and finally died at the hands of the nobles of the Chu State... Wu Qi was a god in military warfare throughout his life, and his reputation as good at fighting was as good as that of Sun Bin, but he had never been to Qi State, so how could he find his roots? "
"Mr. Xu doesn't know something. Although his ancestor Wu Qi is not from Qi, his wife is a genuine Qi people."
Wu Liang said seriously, "This matter has been recorded in many history books. When Duke Xuan of Qi sent troops to attack the state of Lu, Duke Yuan of Lu planned to appoint our ancestors, but he heard that his wife was from Qi, so he had some doubts in his heart. When our ancestors heard about it,
After this incident, he divorced his wife and declared his ambition, and was eventually appointed as a general by Duke Yuan of Lu, leading his army to defeat the Qi army."
"I am talking about this, naturally, not to reiterate the grudges between our ancestors and Qi, but to clarify some things."
"My family's genealogy mentions another version of this matter: In fact, the ancestor did not divorce his wife at that time, but the ancestor's wife knew that the ancestor had great ambitions, but she was suffering from lack of opportunities, and she knew that she was from Qi, and she could not
I wished my ancestors to be enemies of Qi, but at the same time I didn’t want my ancestors to miss the opportunity to become famous because of me, so I left a letter and left without saying goodbye.”
"After that, although the ancestors finally defeated Qi, they could never forget this righteous wife. After many inquiries, they finally learned that his wife had returned to Qi after leaving."
"It's a pity that after this war, our ancestor has become a public enemy of Qi State. Qi State cannot tolerate him from top to bottom. Although our ancestor misses him in his heart, he does not dare to set off to look for him. It is not because he is worried about his own safety, but because he is afraid.
Therefore, his wife and her family, who were in Qi State, could only express their longing for her in writings and slips, while always claiming to the outside world that he had divorced his wife."
"Later, my ancestor moved around many places, with higher and higher official positions, more and more military power in his hands, and his longing for his wife became more and more intense... However, God did not fulfill his wishes. When the ancestor thought that he had achieved success and fame, he could finally use
When Chu State and Qi State had an opportunity to take his wife back, King Chu Mourning died suddenly. During the funeral, the nobles of Chu State had a grudge against their ancestor because of the reform, and actually used an arrow to kill him openly. Although the ancestor was about to die, he set
Through a clever trick, more than seventy nobles were buried with him, but they could only breathe their last with the greatest regret in their hearts."
"This incident was clearly recorded in the Wu family's family tree. All descendants of the Wu family knew about it, and they also thought about going to Qi to find their grandmother and fulfill their ancestors' long-cherished wish."
"It's a pity that not long after, Qi's power was turned upside down because of the 'Tian clan replaced Qi'. In all likelihood, the Lu Qi royal family was killed by the Tian clan, and Qi Kanggong Lu Dai and his family were also exiled to the island."
"After inquiring, the descendants of the Wu family found out that this grandmother actually had some connections with the Lu Qi royal family, and was very likely to be involved in this incident... Since then, the Tian family was worried about the Lu family's comeback, and even more
All news related to Lu Qi was blocked in Qi State, and no one was allowed to discuss or inquire about it. Since then, all clues have been cut off."
"That's why."
"When I came to Yuzhou Mountain, I learned that Qi Kanggong Lu Dai was actually exiled here, so I immediately remembered the matter and hoped to pursue it and fulfill the greatest regret in my ancestors' hearts."
At this point, Wu Liang stopped making up the story, but his face was full of melancholy, as if all these things had really happened, and he just shed a few tears and cried.
But having said that, he fabricated this story very well. Even if Ma Qian of Taishi Company was still alive, he would probably be stunned after hearing this story. After all, all the historical events mentioned here are true.
of.
For example, Duke Xuan of Qi, Lu Ji, was defeated by Wu Qi.
He was Lu Qi's penultimate King of Qi. After his death, Qi Kanggong Lu Dai succeeded to the throne. It didn't take long for the "Tian family to replace Qi" incident. Therefore, the timeline of Wu Liang's story is extremely neat.
Almost no one can pick out the thorns in it... The only loophole is that Wu Liang's "Wu Family Tree" was made up by Mrs. Ding for him, and the "Wu Family Tree" fabricated by Mrs. Ding is naturally impossible.
All records about this incident are false.
However, no one would carry their family tree with them anytime and anywhere, let alone when they go out on business.
Therefore, regardless of whether Xu Fu believed it or not, it was impossible to ask for the "Wu Family Tree" on the spot to verify Wu Liang's statement.
"I didn't expect that Wu Taishi was not only from a famous family, but his family ancestors also had such a secret history."
This time, the witch Hu did not repeat Xu Fu's words, but took the lead in expressing her feelings before saying, "The ancestor god said that he was willing to help Wu Taishi, but because those things were a long time ago from the ancestor god, he did not know about Lu Qi's sacrifice.
Where exactly it is, we only know where Lu Dai’s former residence and tomb are located.”
"Thank you very much, Xu Jun. I would like to hear the details."
Wu Liang cupped his hands and said.
"The Ancestor God said that according to the notes left by the ancestors of the Xu family, there was a flat land on the mountainside on the shady side of Yuzhou Mountain, where Lu Dai's residence was. However, when the Ancestor God climbed up to Yuzhou Mountain, his residence could no longer be seen there.
ruins."
The witch Hu continued, "And Lu Dai's grave is also nearby. There is no trace of a tomb anymore, but there is a cypress tree that may have been hundreds of years old growing next to the tomb. It is said that he was Lu Dai's son.
It was planted when Lu Long left, it should have been almost a thousand years ago."
A cypress tree that has lived for thousands of years?
When Wu Liang climbed up Yuzhou Mountain before, he had overlooked the surrounding environment and was not surprised that there was such an ancient tree on the island.
Could it be that it has withered and died?
After all, even if there is such an ancient cypress, the last time Xu Fu saw it would have been hundreds of years ago. Anything could happen in these hundreds of years.
As far as Wu Liang knows, the lifespan of cypress trees is quite long. If they are not cut down or destroyed, it is basically not a problem to live for 500 to 800 years. There are also cypress trees that live for more than a thousand years, but cypress trees with this kind of lifespan are rare.
.
Although Wu Liang was not sure that there would be no omissions in his observations, if there really was such a thousand-year-old cypress on Yuzhou Mountain, it would be difficult for him not to notice it.
But then I thought about it again.
In this matter, Xu Fu seems to have no motive to deceive himself...
So let’s write this down for the time being. Maybe this will become the biggest unexpected gain of his trip. On the contrary, Zuzhou and Yangshenzhi are not actually a major gain, because he did not get any valuable physical objects. Thinking about it carefully
I don't think I can record the relevant events in my own history books.
"Thank you very much, Xu Jun, for your advice. Wu is very grateful."
With this in mind, Wu Liang gave another salute.
"Wu Taishi doesn't need to be polite. In fact, the ancestor god also wants to ask Wu Taishi for help."
The shrine maiden continued to speak.
"Speaking."
Wu Liang responded, but he was already thinking about what he could do to help Xu Fu.
The Xu clan members had already fled to various places, and Xu Fu probably didn't know how many of his descendants were living abroad. Wu Liang's help was probably not needed in this matter.
As for Xu Fu himself, he is already an earthbound spirit that is about to dissipate. He does not need to eat or drink, has no emotions, and does not need Wu Liang's help.
Wu Liang thought about it, and the only thing he thought of was: "Does Xu Fu want me to use my men to seal the entrance to the ghost cave? After all, he finally understood that Yang Shen Zhi is actually the essence of the World Destroying Grass, a mind.
A righteous person usually makes such a decision."
Just when I was thinking about it.
The witch Hu gave an answer that Wu Liang had not expected at all: "The ancestor god hopes that you will help the people of Japan end the current war."
"???"
