Adou who can afford it

The south of this era, not the south of later generations, the south is still in the era of wilderness, primeval forests and swamps such inaccessible areas abound, there are many water systems in the south in later generations, compared with this era, the geographical state has not changed greatly, many rivers and water networks are dense, and there are many crocodiles, hippos and many other species in the water that are difficult to see in the Yangtze River basin in later generations.

Dongting Lake is still called Yunmengze now, the water area is several times that of Dongting Lake, and it is not more than ten miles east of the river by boat from the public security, which is the range of Yunmengze.

The huge water area is like an inland sea, according to Chen Dao's statement, Yunmengze spans Wuling, Nanjun, Changsha, Jiangxia four counties, and there are countless swamps on the embankment that stretches for thousands of miles, and there are many fierce birds and beasts in it.

Liu Chan sat on the bow of the boat and floated down the river into Yunmengze, where the ship would land in Luoxian in the east of Yunmengze a day later. Xiangshui is high in summer, and it is difficult to go against the water, and after resting for half a day in Luo County, Liu Chan and his party will choose to walk south.

"I remember this Luo County is where my brother's hometown is, right?" Liu Chan asked Chen Zhi beside him curiously.

Chen Zhi nodded yes.

"Then after I enter the city, you will send someone to help me buy gifts, and when I come, I will always visit the Kou family. Liu Chan said.

Luo County is the place where Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, Liu Chan landed at the Miluo Wharf several miles away from Luo County, on the wide open space on the east side of the wharf, there is a temple to pay tribute to Qu Yuan, there are people who come and go in, it seems that the incense is prosperous.

Seeing this, Liu Chan said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." "

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Taoist mythological system had not yet been formed, and people's beliefs were different in different regions in addition to their ancestors, and the ghosts and gods worshipped by people in the south were even more chaotic.

The crudely carved statue in the inner courtyard of the temple can vaguely be seen to be a human head and a snake body, Liu Chan blurted out and asked

: "Fuxi?" Chen Zhi explained on the side: "It is the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and the Jingnan region does not worship Fuxi."

Liu Chan smiled: "It seems that there is no classic record that the Eastern Emperor

Taiyi is a human-headed snake body, right?" "Young master, the image of this Taiyi God is changeable, and it is said that he is invisible, and many people in Jingnan think that Donghuang Taiyi is a human-headed snake god." This is the same as the image of Fuxi. "

Donghuang Taiyi is the supreme god of Chu, since the pre-Qin, has been sacrificed by the people of the south, the incense is prosperous, but the image description of Donghuang Taiyi is different in various places, there is an image of Donghuang Taiyi with a bull's head and a snake body in the public security city, and this is the first time I have seen it.

Although the plaque outside is Qu Yuan Temple, the main hall is still dedicated to the East Emperor Taiyi, and the left side of the two side halls is to pay tribute to Qu Yuan, and the right side is actually to pay tribute to Chiyou.

Little is known about the Chinese mythological system Liu Chan, but its formation was a long process in which there were multiple intricate systems of gods.

The theory of ghosts and gods, in this late Han era, people firmly believed.

Liu Chan was originally a staunch believer in atheism, but the crossing of the matter, it is too unbelievable, maybe there are really ghosts and gods in this heaven and earth, under the guise of believing that there is no mentality, Liu Chan in the three halls respectively after the memorial, the group walked towards Luo County.

"Young master, there are still seven or eight miles to enter the city, let me carry you and go. "Because of the rain just now, there was a lot of mud on the road, and Chen Zhi proposed when he saw that Liu Chan was having a hard time.

Liu Chan shook his head: "It's okay, let's keep going." A

horse came from the city at a high speed, the horse's hooves splashed everywhere on the muddy water, causing the pedestrians on both sides of the road to curse, Liu Chan was also splashed with muddy water because he couldn't dodge, his face was muddy, Chen Zhi was furious, and wanted to come forward to drink, but the knight stopped in front of a carriage and stopped.

Jumping down from the horse was a handsome young man with a sword, dressed as a Confucian student, with a high crown and a broad belt, and the young man who should have been elegant was full of anger at this time, standing in front of the carriage that had also stopped, and scolded: "If you hit someone, you want to run? Hurry down and follow me to apologize."

Liu Chan wiped the muddy water off his face and stopped Chen Dao, who was about to step forward: "Let's see what happened first." There

were a lot of people around who were eating melons and watching the excitement like Liu Chan, pointing at the young man, but they were full of jealousy about the carriage and did not dare to criticize and discuss.

"Where's the fool? Boy, do you know whose carriage you stopped?" The two young men in Tsing Yi who were driving jumped out of the carriage with their hands, extremely arrogant.

The young man with the sword reprimanded: "Even if the car hits the people today, you have to stop and apologize and treat the injured."

"I think you're stupid at reading, aren't you? Do you see clearly? This is the carriage of the Kou family, and the eldest son of the Kou family is sitting in it. How many pounds and taels do you have, dare to stop the carriage of the Kou clan?" the young man in Tsing Yi asked, and there was a tendency to do it if he didn't agree with him.

Liu Chan said bluntly: "The Kou family is Luo Hou, and Luo Hou's heir is qualified to be called a son." "

The title of Gongzi was mostly used in the Qin and Han dynasties as the title of the heirs of the princes, unlike the later generations who were called Gongzi when they were individual dog-like scholars.

"But isn't my brother the eldest son of the Kou clan, and where did this eldest prince come from?" Liu Chan wondered.

"Young master, if the son of Feng comes out, he can only be regarded as a person from the Kou family, but only a person from the Liu family, so this eldest son of the Kou family should be the second son of the Kou family before. Chen Zhi said.

There was already tension over there, but the Kou prince in the carriage didn't come out for a long time.

"Get out, hurry up, don't force us to do it, offending the Luo clan in Luo County is a capital crime. The little guy in Tsing Yi pushed the young Confucian student.

The young Confucian retreated again and again, and said in a continuous voice: "What a son of the Kou family, today you are tyrannical and cause harm to the people, then I will eliminate harm for the people."

Liu Chan watched with interest as the young man pulled out his sword, both Han Dynasty and the Warring States period inherited the martial style of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, not to mention the soldiers and folk rangers in the army, this Confucian student alone can draw a sword and kill people, and the archery and royalty in the six arts, these Confucian students are serious subjects that need to be learned.

"What's the matter, why haven't you solved it yet? This fool quickly opened it for me! Yohe, he drew his sword? Look for death! Kill him for me!" The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young man in a thin silk shirt who was disheveled came out and pointed at the young Confucian and shouted at him.

At the moment when the curtain was lifted, Liu Chan saw a woman in a thin shirt and bare skin in the carriage.

"It's really lewd. Liu Chan shook his head and said.

The two young men in Tsing Yi also took out their weapons to fight the young man, while the prince of the Kou clan leaned on the carriage and yawned and watched the battle.

The young Confucian students were clumsy in the face of the two of them, unable to do their best, and had a tendency to lose.

Confucius was accidentally kicked to the ground, rolled on the ground, dodged the knife, got up covered in mud and continued to fight.

None of the people around who were watching the excitement stood up and were willing to help this young Confucian student, even the few Confucian students who were watching had no intention of helping, they all knew the power of the Kou clan in Luo County, and they didn't dare to provoke it easily.

And this Confucian who fought with the Kou clan was obviously from other places, and he didn't know the Kou clan's ability, so he stood up for the people indiscriminately.

"Go and save that Confucian student. Liu Chan said.

The two soldiers in regular clothes standing behind Liu Chan immediately rushed forward.

Liu Chan went out this time under the strong request of Mrs. Gan to bring more people, and Liu Chan, who usually only took Chen to go out, brought twenty guards this time, these guards were the elite of the army, and they had followed Liu Bei for many years and were loyal.

Ordinary housekeepers naturally would not be the opponents of the fierce soldiers in the army, and with almost no effort, the two Kou family servants were lying on the ground and wailing.

In the face of the sudden intervention of a third-party force, the son of the Kou clan, who was relying on the carriage, was not calm, and pointed to the two soldiers and asked, "Who are you? The

two soldiers didn't pay any attention to the Kou son, and after saving the young Confucian student, they returned to the team and stood behind Liu Chan.

Looking at the twenty strong men like wolves and tigers, the prince of the Kou family, who was about to shout, swallowed his saliva, said no more, and turned to the two little thugs lying on the ground: "Hurry up for me and drive back to the city." Hurry up!" the

young Confucian dragged his injured leg to Liu Chan's side, and so many imposing strong men were protecting this child like stars and moons, and he immediately guessed that it was Liu Chan who ordered him to be saved.

Towards Liu Chan, the young Confucian thanked him: "Thank you for the benefactor's life-saving grace."

Liu Chan smiled and waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you are brave in the face of righteousness, and I am also uneven and draw a knife to help." "

You wait for me, I want you to look good!" The prince of the Kou clan stood on the carriage that fled back to the city, pointing at Liu Chan and a group of others and shouting loudly.

Liu Chan smiled and ignored this gentleman, the young Confucian student's face changed, and he said worriedly: "Although the benefactor has twenty guards, it is also from other places, right?

Liu Chan asked: "It turns out that you know the power

of the Kou clan in Luo County, so why do you dare to provoke it?" Speaking of this, the young Confucian looked angry: "This Kou clan ignored the large number of pedestrians on the street, and drove the carriage to run over directly, resulting in several injuries, one of which was a few years old and the legs were broken, I was angry, so I chased after him."

Chen Zhi said on the side: "If you hadn't run into us today, and my young master had the mercy to let people come to the rescue, I'm afraid you would have been killed by this Kou clan today." If you don't have any ability, you can't do anything to stand out as a person. When

the young Confucian scholar heard this, his face turned red, and he stiffened his neck and said: "My generation of scholars, when you see injustices on the road, you should draw your sword to help!

Confucian Sheng was even more annoyed, feeling ridiculed and looked down upon, but because the person in front of him was his life-saving benefactor, he didn't say much, but just said: "Thank you for the benefactor's life-saving grace, Jiang Wan in Xia Lingling, dare to ask the benefactor's name, and in the future, Wan will definitely repay the life-saving grace."
