    This year, Gou Wa's eldest son passed the exam at the age of twelve, and the whole family was overjoyed. Folks in the village rushed to bring gifts to congratulate him, saying that Wen Quxing had descended to earth and was blessed with literary talent and joy.  Although most of those gifts were just one or two eggs, a few cloves of garlic, a handful of leeks, etc., which were not valuable, and the best ones were just a foot of red cloth, they were enough to make the whole family happy and their faces glowing.

    The family even went to the county town to buy two kilograms of pork belly, steamed the buns, added chopped vegetables and stuffing for seasoning. It was so fragrant that the children's mouths were full of oil after eating it.

    It is a fine tradition to thank teachers for their academic success.

    Gouwa took his eldest son, dozens of copper coins, some grain and vegetables, and came to thank his husband with a load, all in the same village.  The gentleman was a down-and-out scholar. He declined the gift briefly and happily accepted the gift. Then he looked kindly and encouraged the student, urging him to be eager to learn, be humble, and not to delay his homework.  Before leaving, my husband gave me a precious book with annotations as a return gift.

    This seems to be the beginning of good times.

    As long as there is no shortage of people in the fields, Gou Wa will work in the city on weekdays. When the foreman heard that his eldest son passed the exam, his wages were no longer in arrears, and his appearance became much more pleasant. Even other people, most people would at least have a good reputation.  Be polite.

    A few years passed like this. Gouwa¡¯s eldest son was indeed very successful and passed the scholar examination in one fell swoop. Although he ranked at the bottom, which was a bit reluctant, he was still a scholar.  The whole family can be exempted from corvee and taxes, the scholar can meet the magistrate without kneeling, and he can still receive a monthly salary.  This is extraordinary. The village chief gave gifts, a scholar memorial arch was erected at the entrance of the village, and the mayor of the township also gave gifts.  There are even landlords who ask matchmakers to come to their homes to arrange marriage.

    Good things seem to happen one after another.

    A year later, Gou Wa's family built a new tile-roofed house. Although the family's wealth was exhausted, life was getting better.  What's more, life in the past few years has been much better than in the past. It is not as good as before, but more than below.

    With the new house, the eldest son got married. Although he was only sixteen years old, it was very normal for teenagers to get married and have children in this era.  The bride was the second young lady of a landlord's family, and she was pretty good-looking.

    However, the situation suddenly changed, and Qi State suddenly declared an all-out war against Qing State, causing a great earthquake in the world.

    Qi State dispatched millions of soldiers to advance across the board, while Qing State was retreating steadily.  In just one month, the Qingguo border fell.  Three months later, nearly half of Qing's territory was invaded.  Among them, the rebellion of a Qingguo general was the trigger for a complete collapse.

    This was a devastating disaster for the people of Qing State, but it was worthy of universal celebration for the nobles of Qi State.  Generally speaking, if a country has such good things, there will be gifts after the war, giving new land and population to some occupied countries. More importantly, with new occupied countries, some new official positions are inevitable, and many people can be promoted.  Get rich.

    However, everything is extremely declining.

    The King of Da Qin said: "The Qin State and the Qing State have just become friends with Qin and Jin. They married off my favorite Princess Lingxi. The Qi State actually intercepted and killed my king's daughter halfway. This is a serious provocation to the Great Qin State."  !¡±

    The Qin State immediately used the pretext of supporting the Qing State and quickly raised troops to attack the border of Qi State, which was a neighboring country.

    This is a slap in the face for the people of Qi, and all kinds of explanations are useless.

    The Qi State was stronger than the Qing State. It was originally only as strong as the Qing State, but in the past ten years the Qing State had declined and declined, while the Qi State had become stronger.  On this land, many countries are similar to or weaker than Qi and Qing, but Qin is a behemoth.

    It is directly chasing the strongest country on this land, the ¡®Yu Xiang Dynasty¡¯.

    The difference between king and emperor illustrates the strength and weakness of the two countries.

    The three kingdoms of Liu Xiang Dynasty, Da Qin State and Qi State share a border.  But the difference is that Liu Xiang's dynasty has more than a dozen surrounding vassal states, and only by offering sacrifices every year can they receive blessings, while Da Qin does not.

    However, the Great Qin State produced two generations of Mingjuns one after another, which laid a solid foundation for the Great Qin State's prosperity.  In terms of overall strength, it is even worse than Liu Xiang's dynasty, but in terms of warlikeness, Da Qin is not inferior at all.  The Great Qin State secretly fought abroad all year round in the name of suppressing bandits, secretly annexed many small countries and small forces, and built a strong army through war. However, the Liu Xiang Dynasty was much worse in this regard. It was born from worries and died.  Anle, the scene of singing and dancing in the dynasty, can easily make people lose their ambition.

    It is said that this time, the Great Qin State sent an important minister to Liu Xiang's dynasty, bringing many heavy gifts, including a hundred kilograms of the rare health-preserving "Wuyun Tea", which emptied the Great Qin State's inventory for many years, which made Liu Xiang  The emperor of the dynasty was very happy.

    After that, the envoys of the Qin Dynasty expressed their closeness and friendship, sought an alliance, and successfully prevented the intervention of Liu Xiang's dynasty on the grounds that the alliance would conquer outside the mainland.

    Once the war machine starts, life will inevitably be devastated wherever it goes, and people all over the world will be displaced.

    In just one year, the Qing Kingdom was destroyed, and the royal familyThe bloodline was slaughtered.  In another two and a half years, the Qi State was destroyed by the Qin State. The Qi royal family surrendered to the Qin State. The king was taken into the capital of the Qin Dynasty as a hostage, granted a dukedom for his retirement, and was supported by a king who was close to the Qin State.  The son of the world came to serve as governor, but he actually had no real power.  The two countries naturally became the land of the Great Qin State, and it was too late for Liu Xiang's dynasty to regret it.

    And when the Qi State was in danger, Gouwa and his family were not spared, and the exemption from corvee and tax became an empty talk.  The eldest son Xiucai joined the army and became a clerk in the army, replacing the corvee work of other members of the family.  Finally, less than half a year later, the bad news came back.

    Qing State and Qi State were destroyed, and the Qin State announced that it would treat the people well, exempt them from corvee taxes for three years, and grant amnesty to the world.  But Gouwa's family and many other families in Qi did not live an easy life because of this, but instead became even poorer.

    This year, in order to keep the whole family from going hungry, the middle-aged Gou Wa took a foolish young man into the forest outside Haishan County again after many years.  However, the name of the county town was changed to Rongguang County.  And this young man is his second son. Like him, he works hard, farms, and occasionally goes to the mountains to collect herbs to make a living.

    "Dad, look at that hillside, there seems to be some medicinal materials!" The honest boy's eyes were equally good. On the sunny slope of the hill, some grass and trees were blooming, and they were still so bright that they overshadowed the surroundings.

    If it weren¡¯t for the fact that it was dozens of miles deep into the forest and full of insects and beasts, people might have discovered it long ago.  After not seeing each other for many years, these medicinal materials have become stronger and full of medicinal properties.

    Green, white, red, pink, yellow, still so vibrant.

    Gou Wa's eyes were very good, and he had a lot of experience. He quickly stopped his son who was about to run over, and reminded: "Secondly, there are many insects and beasts in the mountains. The more unusual the place, the more careful you must be! Also, this  Each piece of medicinal material is a gift from the mountain god. You are not allowed to tell anyone in this place, not even your mother or my little sister. You can only pick one tenth at a time to avoid breaking the roots, do you understand?"

    "Yes, dad." The honest young man scratched the back of his head, no longer impulsive, and seemed very quiet.

    "Let's go, go up with dad and take a look, be careful -" Gou Wa nodded with satisfaction.

    The father and son slapped the hiking poles in their hands against the grass and trees, and went up the hillside smoothly, but suddenly they heard thunder in the sky.

    With a roar, the mountains and forests shook, and all sounds were silent.  Then the sound of thunder continued.  They saw an astonishing scene on the top of the mountain. On the top of a mountain more than ten miles away, a thick cloud like ink gathered in the sky. The thick gray thunder connecting the sky and the earth struck the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was exploded and the ground shook.

    "Is the Mountain God angry? Come on, be stunned, kneel down and kowtow!"

    The dog boy was frightened and immediately knelt down and kowtow there. He also asked his son to kneel down and pray to the mountain god to forgive them and bless them.

    The gray thunder struck for nine rounds. In the last round, the thunder had a faint silvery sheen and was about a foot thick.

    Strangely enough, after nine rounds of gray thunder, the clouds quickly dissipated.  If the top of the mountain hadn't been cut off several feet, it would have been a mess from a distance, with the gaps filled with the aura of destruction and the sun, and it would have been as if nothing had ever happened.

    Gou Wa and his son knelt for a while before getting up. They carefully picked about one-tenth of the medicinal materials and left in a hurry.

    Suddenly, a strong man with small eyes in a light blue robe appeared on the hillside. He glanced at the two people who were far away and ignored him.  He was radiating joy.

    "From today on, I am Zhang Jingui!"

    When the sound falls, the people disappear.

    Everything is back to normal here.

    About two years later, Gou Wa came to collect herbs for the second time. He brought some incense and candles with him, and he still brought the honest young man with him. However, in just two years, the young man had grown taller, his eyes were more lively, and his lips were more lively.  Yellow hair has grown on his head.  If it were not for lack of nutrition, he would probably grow stronger.

    The father and son first knelt down, burned incense and candles, worshiped the mountain god, and then collected the medicine. They were careful throughout the process, not daring to make any unnecessary noise, and finally left safely.

    When spring comes and autumn comes, there is no sun or moon in the mountains.

    On this day, another early spring day, another pair of grandfather and grandson came to the hillside, which was a bit unexpected.  The grandfather and grandson were dressed luxuriously, unlike sharecroppers. Although their clothes were a little dirty all the way into the mountains, they could not hide the aura of a wealthy man.  Especially the young man, who is fair and fair, seems to have never endured hardship, and has a look of reluctance on his face.

    "Grandpa, what on earth did you bring me here for? I'm almost exhausted!"

    The grandfather with a kind face looked at the sunny slope, seeming to be immersed in it. After a moment, he pointed to the hillside and the medicinal materials on the slope, and said to the young man: "This is a blessed land discovered by our ancestors. Our family can pass it on to you."  This generation is thanks to this place and to the mountain god, otherwise its roots would have been cut off long ago."

    ¡°It¡¯s just a hillside, what kind of blessed land is it?We have as much land as we want. Is it necessary to travel thousands of miles and walk dozens of miles of mountain roads?  "The young man said nonchalantly.

    Snapped!

    Grandpa turned his hand and gave him a big mouth with a stern look.

    The young man was stunned, covering his face and burst into tears.

    Grandpa seemed to feel distressed, but he lost the interest in teaching a lesson and said sadly: "You all don't understand¡ª¡ª"

    Boom!

    With a muffled thunder, the grandfather and grandson came to their senses and looked into the distance.

    At some point, a green cloud gathered in the sky, and lightning loomed in the cloud. Not long after, a green thunderbolt as thick as a bowl struck a mountain top, and the rocks exploded, making a huge noise.

    Then, the cyan thunder lasted for two more rounds before dissipating.

    Grandpa looked there blankly, with an uneasy expression on his face, and muttered: "It's very similar. Three generations of ancestors in the family tree once said that the nine rounds of gray thunder splitting the mountain were caused by the anger of the mountain god. However, this time it was three rounds of thunder.  Thunder is cyan, is it because my family is greedy?"

    "Grandpa, come out of the mountain quickly, it will be dark if it gets too late -" The young man was just surprised. It was like a bolt from the blue, and he seemed to have forgotten the slap just now, and urged.

    Grandpa came back to his senses, looked at the boy, the hillside, and the colorful medicinal materials. He knelt down and kowtowed to the hillside. He stood up and sighed: "Let's go. I won't be able to come back even if I want to."

    The young man pouted, who wants to come?

    After my grandfather and grandson left, two people in Taoist attire appeared on the hillside.

    A young man in a black brocade robe with a gentle expression, and a very burly man with small eyes. The latter was dressed in a light blue Taoist robe. He stood respectfully with his hands lowered. His eyes were excited and he looked around. It seemed that everything around him made him feel very uncomfortable.  Fresh.

    "It's been 120 years in the blink of an eye -" The young man in black brocade robe was a little lost, a little nostalgic, a little sad, but mostly determined.

    The big man with small eyes was a little puzzled as he listened, what was the young master sighing about?  However, he looked at the young man with eyes full of reverence.

    "Jin Gui, let's go, it's time to go out." The young man in black brocade robe said and walked down the slope.

    ¡°Yes, young master.¡± The big man with small eyes, ¡®Zhang Jingui¡¯, hurriedly followed.
