Leisure Mountain Village

Chapter 667
"Tomb of King Rao?" Mrs. Ma gave Lin Chen a strange look, and then said, "Why are you asking this!?"

Lin Chen said, "The people we met yesterday seemed to be headed for King Rao's tomb, planning to rob the tomb."

"Tomb robbery?" Mrs. Ma was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, as if he couldn't breathe. Lin Chen was puzzled. Is this so funny?

"Old master, what is this?" Lin Chen asked.

The old man stopped smiling and said, "King Rao's tomb, I know."

"You really know?" Lin Chen asked unexpectedly.

Mrs. Ma laughed and said, "What's the matter, I not only know, but also went in!"

"What!?" Lin Chen couldn't help shouting in surprise, and then quickly lowered his voice, "You have entered the tomb of King Rao!?"

Old Master Ma nodded slightly, and after taking a sip of tea, he said calmly, "Yes, but it was when I was very young. At that time, I was only eight or nine years old!"

"Ah? So small?" Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Then why did you enter King Rao's tomb?"

Mrs. Ma thought for a while and said slowly, "At that time our Yushu Village was still a poor mountain valley, Yushu Village... there was no Yushu Village at all! The nearby mountain people relied on Taihang Ridge for their livelihood. I remember that it was still in the Republic of China. .”

Lin Chen was speechless. There are not many people in the world who are qualified to say this, but Mrs. Ma must be one of them. Living for a long time is, to some extent, the greatest qualification.

Old Master Ma continued, "At that time, there were almost no people in Taihang Mountains who didn't know about King Rao's tomb, because they had to worship King Rao's tomb. During that time, the mountain people went up the mountain to make offerings to King Rao's tomb first, and then go up the mountain to hunt. This is the custom."

Lin Chen wondered, "Isn't it worshiping the mountain temple!?"

Mrs. Ma smiled and said, "You don't know that? At that time, there was no mountain temple, or there was, but no one cared. At that time, what we worshiped was the tomb of King Rao. Later, something happened, and everyone had no choice. Only then did the mountain temple be rebuilt on the mountain for worship!"

"Old Master, what's going on? Tell me carefully." Lin Chen begged.

Mrs. Ma nodded slowly and said, "Okay! In fact, this matter is also simple. If you really want to make it clear, you have to start with Rao Wang, otherwise you won't be able to explain it clearly."

"Tell me, I'll make you tea." Lin Chen said obediently.

Old Master Ma smiled, and then said, "While King Rao came from, there is no definitive conclusion, but it must have been very early, and this person is not actually a prince, even though he is called King Rao. It's just an uprising peasant army."

"It is said that in the era of King Rao, the world was in chaos and the people were in dire straits. If the common people wanted to have a bite of food, it was more difficult than going to heaven. People starved to death every day. Many people really couldn't survive. What should we do? We can only revolt , rebelled against the imperial court."

"King Rao was originally one of them, and this person was born in Taihangling, and his rise is quite strange. It only took a few months from obscurity to fame all over the world."

"There are rumors that this King Rao is good at magic. At the beginning, others had no food, but this King Rao seemed to have endless food, and he kept supplying the soldiers under his hands. In this way, his The army, of course, is full of fighting power, and quickly broke out of the world."

"Of course, his family is not the only one that has food in the world. After the rise of the major rebel armies, some powerful ones will not lack resources, but this King Rao can't be underestimated. He has strict military discipline, fights every day, and everyone strives to be the first. , King Rao took the lead and killed the generals to capture the flag."

"It is said that King Rao is extremely powerful, and mortals can't compete with him at all, but gradually, this King Rao has become a thorn in the side of the other rebels. After all, the dominance of a family is definitely not acceptable to the rebels. In addition, King Rao is paranoid. If they were tolerated by others, they became the target of public criticism, but they were besieged by the rebels and the court several times."

"Although King Rao and his army were brave, they had no choice but to retreat due to the absolute superiority in numbers. They retreated directly from the Central Plains to the Taihang Ridge area. After all, this is where King Rao was born."

"However, the rebel army and the court did not intend to let King Rao go. They just wanted to kill King Rao, so they summoned a large number of troops to attack Taihang Ridge. Fend off the enemy!"

"Originally, those rebels and the imperial court would definitely not be able to destroy King Rao's army directly, but at least they could drag King Rao to death. After all, such a large army requires a lot of expenses. Although Taihangling is rich, it will always Can’t let the army enter the mountains to hunt every day!?”

"Once this kind of thing happens, when King Rao is attacked again, he will not be able to effectively organize the army to defend, but what the rebels did not expect is that King Rao is like magic. There is no shortage of food in the army, and King Rao People in the army don't even have a headache on weekdays."

"On the contrary, they were not used to the environment of Taihang Mountain, and fell ill every now and then. Before the battle was fought, [-]% of them died of their own illness."

"The rebel army and the imperial court felt that they couldn't continue to consume it any longer, and planned to use the human sea tactic to destroy King Rao, but after the fight started, everyone did not expect that this human sea tactic would not work at all, because King Rao didn't know what to do. an army of beasts."

"The beasts in the Taihang Ridge have become King Rao's soldiers at this time, and they are driven by him to attack the enemy's troops. In that battle, the court and the rebel army suffered heavy losses, so they can only retreat to Taihang Ridge, and no longer embarrass King Rao. If King Rao doesn't march into the Central Plains, they won't attack again."

"Since then, King Rao has taken his own army and stationed in Taihang Ridge. It has gradually developed and divided into different villages. It can be said that King Rao's army belongs to most of the people in Taihang Ridge now. ancestor."

After listening to Mrs. Ma's words, Lin Chen broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. The King Rao was with him, or should be said to be a senior. With endless food and manipulative beasts to attack, he seemed to be much stronger than Lin Chen now. If that is the case, then in the Buddhist room of the big willow tree, the bone skeleton should be King Rao, but why did he kneel and die in the Buddhist room in the end, and what happened afterwards?
"Lin Chen, what's the matter with you, you seem to be uncomfortable." Mrs. Ma asked suspiciously.

Lin Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "It's the old man, you told the story so well, it's thrilling."

Mrs. Ma laughed and said, "You know how to flatter, boy, by the way, I have something to tell you today, not to tell you a story."

"Oh!? What's the matter, tell me." Lin Chen said immediately.

"I think...Xiao Lin, don't let Mangzi follow you." Mrs. Ma hesitated, but said it anyway.
