Chapter 103 The Ancient Qiang

The sway, which landed on the awning of the carriage, made a crackling sound. The king woke up from the nap just now, and the stove in the warm sedan shed emitted a faint light. He moved his buttocks, which felt numb by the bumps of the car, and looked at Li Xili sitting opposite him.

Originally, Wang Zan didn't like to ride this carriage very much. Usually, whenever he can ride a horse, he will try his best to ride a horse. The man doesn't ride a horse. What kind of carriage does he make? Isn't it that if you don't do Mercedes-Benz, you have to ride three times? But this Li Xili, although he is from Xixia, is better than the literati in the Han people. He is weak and fell ill in Jingzhou.

Li Xili's illness was purely self-indulg. He ran out in the middle of the night and looked at the direction of Xingqing Mansion. He suffered a little cold and had a cold and a fever, but he couldn't ride a horse. Wang advised him to leave a day or two later, and he insisted. Wang really didn't want to have a sedan chair with him, but he seemed to have something to say and stop, so he had to sit in at the risk of being infected with a cold.

The most frugated thing since he crossed into the side of the king of the Song Dynasty was to get sick. If you are sick, you can only drink some Chinese herbs to recuperate slowly. There is no western medicine that can quickly relieve symptoms like modern medicine. And from the time he got into the car, he was as drowsy as if he had been psychologically hinted.

If it was a few days ago, two people could lift the curtain and let the light in. Today, there will be a cold wind blowing without lifting it. The only light is the faint red light of the bright and dark heater.

Li Xili frowned tightly, and his eyes and lips were tightly closed. Wang didn't know where he had gone. He listened to the sound of the sleet and hit the hood like a small hail. He knew that it was not hail. When he encountered sleet, many people thought it was hail. The hail often appeared in the summer and autumn season with strong convection activities, and the sleet often appeared before the snow or landed at the same time as the snow.

Wang thought to himself: Fortunately, I will arrive at Xingqing Mansion soon, otherwise it will be more difficult to leave. But when it snows heavily, it will be difficult to go back. It will be an or two months to come out. I don't know what's going on in Meyer's house and Jinxiang's house. However, with Lu Shenyan and He Libo, Wang is not too worried. What he cares most about is the moon.

He thought that in the past few years, the two of them got together less and separated more. Now they are still newly married, but he has to travel far away. No wonder there is a sentence in Pipa Xing: Businessmen value profit more than parting. Thinking of the moon, Wang's heart was a little warm. However, men are like this. This idea soon flashed by, and instead, he thought of the purpose of this trip: Bai Shi.

From the conversation with Li Xili on weekdays, Wang Bian learned that the Qiang people took the god as the highest protection god and the white stone as the symbol. The Dangxiang ethnic group is a member of the Qiang ethnic group, an ancient ethnic minority in northern China. Among the many clan names, the more famous ones are the Xifeng clan, the Feiting clan, the Huili clan, the Pochao clan, the Yeli clan, the Miqi clan, and the Tuoba clan. And the "Dragon Head Boss" among the eight clans is the legendary Tuoba family with the blood of the noble Northern Wei royal family.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, unified the world. It turned out that those Dang Xiang Qiang people who ran to the mountains and forests were attached to each other at this time. In 584 A.D. (the fourth year of the founding of the emperor), more than a thousand families were willing to return to the Sui Dynasty. In 585 A.D. (the fifth year of the opening of the emperor), his great leader Tuoba Ningcong led the tribe to request to settle in Xuzhou (now Lintan County, Gansu Province), and Emperor Wen appointed him as the general. This time, the Party Xiang Qiang people appeared in the official history for the first time.

The prominent feature of the primitive religion of the Qiang nationality is the polytheistic belief represented by white stone worship. White stone is not only a symbol of the gods and ancestral gods, but also a symbol of all gods. The Qiang people's belief in the god and the worship of white stone have a long history, and the characteristics of their belief in the white stone god can be seen in the epic Qianggo War.

On the way from the northwest grassland to the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, the Qiang people turned into a snowy mountain with the help of their ancestor, the god Mu Jiezhu, and had to get rid of the pursuit of the "magic soldiers" and turn danger into safety. After arriving at the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, he defeated the "Goki people" with white stones because of the inspiration of the god Jipolle in his dream. The Qiang people began to rebuild their homes, live and work in peace and prosper.

In order to repay God's grace and bless the Qiang people in peace and prosperity, the Qiang leader Aba Bai Gu proposed to use the white stone as a symbol of the gods. The Qiang people take the god as the highest protection god and the white stone as the symbol. They are worshipped on the stone tower in the "divine forest" in the middle of the roof of each house and near the village. The roof is the place where every family sacrifices the white stone god, and the divine forest is the place where every village worships. This began the worship of the gods and white stones, and became the traditional custom of the Qiang people.

The white stone god was originally the "personalized" incarnation of the Qiang god or the ancestor god, and then the symbol of all gods.

After figuring out this, Wang Side finally understood why the Xixia people were the white stone god under the moon, because the white jade that was inseparable under the moon, and the jade under the moon had the ability to sense thinking, which made the locals misunderstand that the moon was the white stone god.

Wang also knew that when Yuexia left Xixia, the predicted white stone god was the current prince. This is a little difficult for the king to figure out. Is this prince of Xixia born with a white stone? If that's the same as yourself, is it time travel?

This time, Wang was really wrong. The reason why Yuexia said that was to deceive the Xixia people so that he could get out of it. However, this can't be done without the assistance of Liang Luoyao. Yuexia understood Luo Yao's thoughts, and then she was able to reach Hengshan smoothly. But Yuexia promised Luo Yao that even if the child is not a white stone god, only God knows. Therefore, she didn't tell Wang about the whole thing.

Wang Qiang Tianma thought for a while. Li Xili's cough and gasped, which made him come to his senses. After listening to Li Xili cough a few times, he said to Wang, "Mr. Wang, wake up early." His voice was a little tired and hoarse. Wang handed him a water bag: "You have a cold. Drink more water."

Li Xili reluctantly took two sips, and then he raised a small gap in the cotton curtain. At this moment, Wang could see Li Xili's pale face clearly from the incoming light. A cool breeze hit, and the fire in the stove jumped, a little more vigorous than before.

Li Xili felt cool and hurriedly put down the cotton curtain, and the silent silence returned to the carriage. Li Xili took the lead in breaking the silence. He said in his usual, calm tone, "In more than ten miles, you will arrive at Xingqing Mansion."

Wang can't see his expression at this moment, but the sound seems to have moistened his throat with the water he just drunk, which is somewhat better than the voice just now. Yes, I guess this kind of weather will be there in half a day.

In the dark, Li Xili whispered: "There is no different clothes in the cold countryside, and the felt brown literary practice. The sun and the moon hope that you will return, and the year will not slow down. Jing Yang's spring is early and peaceful, and the secluded is still frosty. At this point, I paused.

Wang Pang praised: "Good poems, especially this frost sway, today is the frost sway to accompany you all the way."

Li Xili is a scholar. Speaking of poetry, he continued to say, "This was written by Bao Linghui in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The latter half is known as Beihan's concubine, but Nanxinjun is not there. Who works hard for the road and sends affection to the two flying swallows. The shape is forced to make fried silk, and the face falls into the wind to urge electricity. Rong Hua is exhausted, but the rest of his heart remains unchanged. The tone of his last sentence was heavy, and after saying that, he sneered a few times from his throat.

Even if this big man is meticulous, he will not gossip like a woman. Wang Bian guessed that Li Xili must be troubled by love affairs, but he didn't want to ask. Wang Bian followed Li Xili and said, "I don't know if Lord Li has heard of "Jourage in the Army" by Lu Sidao, an author in Sui.

"Prince Wang, please talk about it!"

The king chanted: "

Shuofang Peak shines on Ganquan, and Chang'an will fly out of Qilian.

The son of a rhinoceros canal jade sword, a white horse golden chivalrous teenager.

Pingming Yanyuetun is on the right, and the evening fish is beautiful.

The stone tiger in the valley holds an arrow, and the golden man on the mountain once sacrificed to the sky.

The end of the world is endless, and the earth is three thousand miles away.

Seeing the yellow sand in the morning, and look in the clouds in the Dragon City at night.

The strange trees in the court have been climbed, and the foreign recruits have not returned,

The white snow first went down outside the Tianshan Mountain, and the floating clouds went straight up to the five plains.

Guanshan can't be crossed thousands of miles. Who can sit in Fangfeiyue?

The flowing water breaks the human intestines, and the old ice hurts the horse's bones when it returns.

The side court is different from the festival, and the winter sway, autumn frost and spring do not rest.

The long wind Xiao Xiao crossed the water, and the wild geese reflected in the sky.

From the army, the army traveled thousands of miles out of the dragon court. Shan Yuweiqiao has now worshipped. Where can the general find fame!"

Wang's reading was sonorous and powerful. Li Xili's mood fluctuated. After listening to it, he said to himself, "Li Guang shoots the tiger, and the arrow has no stone edges. Sacrifice to the golden man. Alas, the world is peaceful."

When Wang listened to him, he knew that this brother, who seemed to see through the world and had no quarrel with the world, was not so dead in his heart. He decided to find out about him again. So he said in a heavy tone, "The last one: Shan Yuwei Bridge has now worshipped. Where does the general look for fame? That's right. When Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu called Han Xie Shanyu and accepted the meeting at Weiqiao. This sentence means that the world is peaceful, and the general is useless.

This sentence is like a hammer, hitting Li Xili's heart heavily. His personality is too much like Li Ningming. So he couldn't help blurt out, "With that woman, can she be peaceful?" He seems to have a little resentment.

Wang suddenly laughed and said, "Lord Li is so entangled with which woman. I guess these two poems are one person"

He deliberately didn't use Lord Li, but used the respectful and close name of Mr. Li to get closer. This imperceptible change seemed to work. Li Xili said in silence for a moment, "I have something, and I don't know if I should hide it from the prince again. Alas, it seems that in the end, it's better to be useless for the world's peace prince and me"

Wang listened to his long sigh and scolded in his heart, "It's all been slandered to me. Why are you pretending to be a grandson?" But he said, "Mr. Li, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. These days, I have seen that Mr. Li is also a righteous person. If I can help, I will do my best."

Li Xili hesitated for a moment and finally said his thoughts hesitantly: "I wanted to introduce the prince to today's queen, or, or, I could seduce the country with a beautiful man..."

Wang listened and blurted out, "Damn it, why don't you go by yourself!"
