Compete for the Song Dynasty

The graupel landed on the hood of the carriage, making a crackling sound. Wang Pang woke up from his doze just now, and the stove in the warming sedan chair gave off a faint light.He moved his butt that felt numb from the bumps of the car, and looked at Li Xili who was sitting opposite him.

Originally, Wang Pang didn't like riding in this carriage very much, and he would try his best to ride a horse whenever he could.Men don't ride horses, they make carriages.Isn't this what Mercedes-Benz doesn't do, so you have to sit three times.But this Li Xili, even though he was from Xixia, was more educated than the literati among the Han people, and he fell ill in Jingzhou even though he was weak.

Li Xili's illness was purely self-inflicted, and he ran out in the middle of the night to look in the direction of Xingqing Mansion.He had a bit of cold and a fever, but he couldn't ride a horse. Wang Pang advised him to leave a day or two late, but he insisted.Wang Pang really didn't want to share the car with him, but seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to talk, he had to sit in at the risk of catching a cold.

The most frightening thing since traveling to the king of the Song Dynasty is getting sick.If you are sick, you can only drink some Chinese herbal medicine 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 groggy as if he had been psychologically suggested.

If in the past few days, the two of them could have opened the curtain to let the light in, today there would be a slight cold wind blowing without opening it.The only light was the faint red glow of the flickering fireplace. [

Li Xili frowned tightly, his eyes and lips were tightly closed.Wang Pang didn't know where he was. Hearing the sound of the sleet rain, it hit the car hood like small hailstones. He knew it wasn't hailstones. Stronger summer and autumn seasons, and graupel often appears before or at the same time as snowfall.

Wang Pang thought in his heart: Fortunately, he arrived at Xingqing Mansion soon, otherwise it would be even more difficult to leave.But when it snows heavily, the return journey will be difficult.It will take a month or two to come out, and the Meyer Mansion and Jinxiang Mansion don't know what's going on.But with Lu Shenyan and He Libo, Wang Pang is not too worried, what he misses most is Yue Xia.

He thinks about the past few years, the two get together less and leave more, and now they are still newlyweds, but he has no choice but to travel far. No wonder there is a sentence in "Pipa Xing": A businessman values ​​profit more than parting.Thinking of the moonlight, Wang Pang felt warm in his heart.But men are like this, the thought quickly passed by, replaced by the purpose of this trip: Baishi.

From his conversation with Li Xili on weekdays, Wang Pang learned that the Qiang people regard the god of heaven as the highest protection god, and they use the white stone as a symbol.The Dangxiang nationality is a branch of the Qiang nationality, an ancient ethnic minority in northern my country.Among the many clan surnames, the more prominent and famous ones are Xifeng, Feiting, Quli, Pochao, Yeli, Miqin, and Tuoba.And the "Dragon Head Boss" among the surnames of the eight major clans is the legendary Tuoba clan who bears the blood of the noble Northern Wei royal family.

After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, ruled the world. Those Dangxiang Qiang people who ran to the mountains and forests, at this time, were moved again.In 584 A.D. (the fourth year of Emperor Kaihuang), more than a thousand families of Dangxiang Qiang were willing to submit to the Sui Dynasty.In 585 A.D. (the fifth year of Kaihuang), its leader Tuoba Ningcong led the tribe to request to settle in Xuzhou (now Lintan County, Gansu Province), and Emperor Wen appointed him as a general.This time, the Dangxiang Qiang people appeared in the official history for the first time.

The salient feature of the primitive religion of the Qiang nationality is the polytheistic belief represented by the worship of Baishi. Baishi is not only a symbol of gods and ancestor gods, but also a symbol of all gods.The Qiang people have long-standing belief in gods and white stones, and the characteristics of their belief in white stones can be seen from the epic "War of Qiang and Ge".

During the great migration of the Qiang people from the northwest prairie to the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, thanks to the help of their ancestor, the god Mu Jiezhu, they used white stones to turn them into snow-capped mountains.After arriving at the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, and because of the enlightenment of the god Jiboerle in a dream, he defeated the "Goji people" with white stones, and the Qiang people were able to rebuild their homes, live and work in peace and prosperity.

In order to repay the grace of the gods and bless the Qiang people for eternal peace and prosperity, Abba Baigou, the leader of the Qiang people, proposed to use white stones as the symbol of the gods.The Qiang people regard Tianshen as the highest guardian deity, symbolized by white stones, enshrined on the highest point in the middle of each roof and on the stone pagoda in the "sacred forest" near the village.The roof is the place for each family to offer private sacrifices to Baishi God, and the sacred forest is the place for public sacrifices in every village.This started the worship of the gods and white stones and became a traditional custom of the Qiang people.

Baishi God was originally the "personified" incarnation of the Qiang gods or ancestor gods, and then the representation of all gods.

After figuring this out, Wang Pang finally understood why the Xixia people were Baishi God, because Yuexia never left the piece of white jade, and the jade's ability to sense thoughts caused the local people to misunderstand Yuexia. It is Baishi God.

Wang Bang also knew that when Yuexia left Xixia, the prophesied Baishi God was the current crown prince.This made Wang Pang a little puzzled, could it be that this Xixia prince was born with a white stone?If that is the case, is it the same as yourself, a time travel?

This time Wang Pang really thought wrong, the reason why Yuexia said that was to deceive the Xixia people so that he could escape.But this matter could not be done without Liang Luoyao's assistance.Yuexia understood what Luoyao was thinking, and only then was she able to reach Hengshan smoothly.But Yuexia promised Luoyao that even if the child is not the God of Baishi, only God will know.So, she didn't tell Wang Pang about the whole thing.

Wang Pang thought wildly for a while, Li Xili's coughing sound brought him back to his senses, and after hearing Li Xili coughing for a while, he said to Wang Pang, "Young Master, wake up early." His voice was tired and hoarse, and Wang Pang handed him the water bag: "You have a cold and a cold, drink more water."

Li Xili managed to force himself to drink a couple of sips, and then he lifted up a small gap in the cotton curtain, Wang Pang could clearly see Li Xili's pale face from the light coming in.A cool breeze hit, and the fire in the stove jumped, and it was a little more prosperous than before.

Feeling the coolness, Li Xili hurriedly put down the cotton curtain, and the dark silence returned to the carriage.Li Xili was the first to break the silence, and he said in his usual, calm tone: "In a few dozen miles, we will reach Xingqing Mansion."

Wang Pang couldn't see his expression clearly at the moment, but the voice seemed to be moistened by the water he drank just now, which was somewhat better than the voice just now. "Yeah, it is estimated that in this kind of weather, we will go there in half a day."

In the dark, Li Xili chanted in a low voice: "The cold country has different clothes, and the felt brown is the literary practice. The sun and the moon look forward to the king's return, and there is no relief every year. The Jingyang spring is peaceful, and the secluded hope is like frost and hail." The chanting ends here. , paused.

Wang Pang praised: "Good poems, especially this frost and sleet. Today, Shuang and sleet accompany you all the way."

Li Xili is a scholar. Speaking of poetry, he went on to say: "This was written by Bao Linghui in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The second half is known to the concubine of the North Han, but the Lord of the South Heart has not seen it. Whoever worked hard for the Tao, expresses his love for the Shuangfei Yan. The shape is forced to express fried silk , Yan Luofeng urges electricity. Ronghua is exhausted, but the rest of the mind remains unchanged." He said the last sentence with a strong tone, and after he finished speaking, he let out a few sneers. [

Even if this big man is thoughtful, he won't gossip like a woman. Wang Pang guessed that Li Xili must be troubled by love affairs, but he didn't want to ask. "March in the Army", I don't know if Mr. Li has heard of it."

"My lord, just tell me and listen!"

Wang Pangyin read: "

The fire of Shuofang Peak shines on the sweet spring, and Chang'an flies out of Qilian.

Xiqu Yujian is a good family son, a young man with a white horse and a golden sword.

In Pingming, Yanyue is stationed on the right, and in the evening, Yuli chases the left virtuous.

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

As soon as the end of the world is gone, the poor are gone, and Jimen is three thousand miles away.

In the morning, I see Maling and the yellow sand, and in the evening, I look at the Dragon City in the clouds.

The strange tree in the courtyard is ready to be climbed, but the conscripts from outside the Great Wall have never returned,

The white snow first fell outside the Tianshan Mountains, and the floating clouds went straight up to Wuyuan.

Guanshan is impassable for thousands of miles, who can sit in front of Fang Feiyue?

Running water breaks a person's intestines, and old ice returns to hurt a horse's bones.

The festivals in the side courtyard are different from the splendid ones, and the sapphire in winter, the frost in autumn and the spring never stop.

The long wind rustled across the water, and the returning geese disappeared in the sky.

From the army, the army traveled thousands of miles out of Longting, Shanyu Wei Bridge has been worshipped, where can the general find fame! "

Wang Pang read sonorously and powerfully, and Li Xili's mood fluctuated when he heard it. After hearing this, he said to himself: "Li Guang shot the tiger, and the arrow missed the stone edge. Sacrificial to the Tianjin people. Alas, the world is at peace."

As soon as the king listened to him and said "ah", he knew that this elder brother who seemed to see through the world and fight against the world was not so stagnant in his heart.He decided to talk to him again.So he said in a heavy tone: "The last one: Shanyu Weiqiao has been worshiped today. Where can the general find his fame! It is exactly what he said, when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Hu Hanxie was attached to Shanyu, and he was paid homage at Weiqiao. This sentence is Said, the world is peaceful, the general has the place to use his force."

These words were like a hammer, hitting Li Xili's heart hard, his character was too much like Li Ningming.So he blurted out involuntarily: "With that woman, can there be peace?" His words seemed a bit resentful.

Wang Pang suddenly laughed loudly: "Which woman is Mr. Li being so entangled with? I guess the two poems Mr. Li thinks about the same person."

He deliberately didn't use Mr. Li, but used the respectful and intimate title of Mr. Li to shorten the distance. This subtle change seemed to have worked.Li Xili was silent for a moment and said: "I have something, and I don't know whether I should keep it from the prince. Alas, it seems that in the end, it is better for the prince and me to be useless for the sake of peace in the world."

Listening to his long sighs, the king scolded in his heart: "You have lied to me, why are you pretending to be a grandson?" But he said: "Mr. Li, if you have something to do, you may as well just say it. I see that Mr. Li is also a righteous person these days. If you can help me, I will do my best.” [

Li Xili hesitated for a moment, and finally hesitantly expressed his thoughts: "I originally wanted to lure the prince to the current empress, or, or, I could lure Jiangshan by a beautiful man..."

When Wang Pang heard this, he blurted out: "Damn it, why don't you go by yourself!"
