Chapter fifty-one, secret records

The Master of the Shangguan School in the town is Hua, and he is already old and has gray hair.

He has some internal skills and good physical care. Compared with the elderly of the same age, he is still quite energetic and has no sign of being old.

When Pan Long understood his purpose, Master Hua thought about it for a while and asked, "You read a travel note and came to Taohua River thousands of miles away. But have you ever thought that the travel note might be a scam?"

"I've naturally thought about it." Pan Long said seriously, "But being cheated once is not a big loss. Even if I run three or five times in vain, as long as one time is real and I can help, I think it's worth it."

Master Hua smiled: "Very good, since that's the case, let's follow me."

He took Pan Long to the study room, pushed open the desk, lifted a brick on the ground, and a wooden box below.

There is nothing rare in the wooden box, only a few books.

"This is a note from the secret biography of the masters of the official school, you can read it here."

Pan Long opened the notes and saw that most of the records were about the rebellious things. For example, some of the imperial court's policies were criticized and resisted locally, such as key paragraphs in some books that were banned by the imperial court... and so on.

He searched through one of them and soon found a record of the marriage of the Taohua River God.

The river god of Taohua River made contributions in the Daxia palace coup and was named the river god by the emperor. This river god is very handsome and once vowed to establish the largest harem in the world, to raise three thousand beauties, and to have fun day and night. After he became the river god, he forced the people to hand over the beauty - the custom of marrying a river god, which came from this.

This record is quite consistent with the records in the travel notes. I don’t know how resentful and helpless the people of Taohua River were.

After a while, I saw another record.

About 150 or 60 years ago, Yiwu, a famous demon god in Yunzhou, accidentally passed by here and discovered the marriage of the river god. Yiwu became a beauty on earth, and took a bamboo raft to attract the river god.

The two gods fought fiercely, and the river god was eventually defeated. Yiwu grabbed his head and rubbed against the nearby Langtou Mountain.

The huge Langtou Mountain was worn out half of the mountain. And the river god never appeared again, probably killed by Yiwu.

In the next few years, the villagers still held the river god's marriage every year as the river god was still there. But the river god didn't know where to end, so naturally no one took away the beauties who were sacrificed. After returning from "sacrifices" again and again, the sacrifice became a ceremony without realizing it.

The current River God’s Marriage Ceremony is already a famous festival in the Taohua River area. Many people come to visit every year, which is a grand event.

After reading these two records, Pan Long returned the notes and asked curiously: "I am not from Yunzhou. During the time I came to Yunzhou, I have heard a lot of stories about the demon god Yiwu, but I don't know if the old master knows what kind of person the demon god is?"

Mr. Hua smiled: "The demon god Yiwu is a hero who is righteous and righteous. It is said that he is free and easy, always wandering around the world alone, and fighting with injustice everywhere. This demon god also likes to reason with others, and many people gain a lot after listening to it. Gradually, ordinary people who have received the favor of the demon god or have heard the lectures united and established the Great Wind Hall."

"So, the establishment of Dafengtang has nothing directly to do with this demon god?"

"It shouldn't be. But the demon god Yiwu has taken action to protect Dafengtang more than once, and I think there is a bit of incense."

As Master Hua said, a hint of worry appeared on his face: "But, in recent years, the scale of Dafengtang has become larger and larger, and there are more and more conflicts with the court. I am worried that if this continues, it will develop to the point of civil unrest!"

Pan Long was surprised: "It's just that the villagers help each other. How could it be so popular that civil unrest?"

Master Hua did not talk in detail, but just shook his head and sighed.

After saying goodbye to this worried old master, Pan Long came to the inn to stay at peace. Every day, in addition to practicing qigong and reading, he also chatted with the inn's men and tourists to learn about the situation in Yunzhou.

He came early, and there were still a few days before February 2, so wasting time was shameful.

After four or five days like this, he had supper that night and was about to take a walk outside the city. He practiced his fists and feet to digest food, but was stopped by two strong men wearing the uniforms of the court constable.

"Who are you and what secrets do you want to spy on?" A strong man said loudly, "In the past few days, you have been collecting local information. Could it be that the party of Dafengtang is against the party and wants to make ill plans!"

Pan Long was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that these two detectives had found such a crime for him.

Spying on confidentiality, collecting intelligence, and making misconduct... These are amazing crimes. If any of the three items can be confirmed, they will be killed.

But he really doesn't have the intention in this regard!

He was about to explain in detail, but he remembered something - after destroying the Sun family, he asked local officials to convict the Sun family. Because this matter was really difficult, the local officials finally came up with a special solution.

They actually reported to their superiors that it was the patrolman under the command of the prince Emperor Luonan who found out that the Sun family was full of evil and took action to eliminate it.

This statement is naturally nonsense, but the court actually agreed and even gave him a reward.

The reward is not much, that is, a reward order, two ingots of gold, and a pot of spiritual wine that can nourish the body.

The pot of spirit wine was given to the old man Han Wensheng by Pan Long. This old man was in charge of handling the Sun family affairs, doing his best and doing a good job. Pan Long felt that he had made up for his achievements and was worthy of giving him a reward.

Han Wensheng was reluctant to drink it, so he gave the spirit wine to his children... but this was off-topic.

The spiritual wine was given to someone, but the reward order and two ingots of gold ingots with official seals were there. Pan Long took out the reward order, and when the two constables saw it, they immediately showed a look of embarrassment.

Ordinary people collect information from the people, which is called a bad intention. But it is natural for patrolmen to do this - this is their job.

The so-called patrolman's main task is not to eliminate corrupt officials and bandits who hinder the rule of Daxia, but to collect various information from the people and report it to the court in a timely manner so that the court can react as soon as possible no matter what it is facing.

What Pan Long has done these days is exactly what a patrolman should do.

Although he seems a bit high-profile, unlike the style of an ordinary patrolman, no one stipulates that the patrolman must only hide in the dark and cannot collect opinions and suggestions from the people in the inn and restaurants.

This matter is already upright, and there is nothing that cannot be told to others, and there is no need to deliberately conceal it.

Seeing this commendation order, the two constables left boredly. When they walked away, Pan Long could still hear the content of their conversation with his far superior ears.

"What a pity! I thought it was a fat sheep!"

"Stop sighing, there are so many fat sheep. This one has not been slaughtered, just slaughter something else."
