Hearing the words of the fox immortal in Tsing Yi, those fleeing people also gradually stopped, but they did not dare to approach the sour jujube tomb any more, but these people were from the Ming Dynasty officials, and they belonged to a well-informed class of people. , they fled, indicating that they were unwilling to surrender to the Qing court, and in the eyes of the old people of the Ming Dynasty at that time, it was considered very backbone.
Therefore, although these people did not dare to approach the Suanzao Tomb, they did not continue to escape.
One of the leaders was Han Chengge. His specific official position was unknown, but he was very imposing. He took a step forward and asked the Fox Immortal: "Lord Huxian, thank you for your life-saving grace. Our family cannot escape. Here, if it disturbs your cleaning, please forgive me, we will leave now."
In Han Chengge's eyes, the woman in Tsing Yi was not a fox fairy at all, just a fox spirit, and people have always had prejudice against ghosts and spirits, so he was very cautious, and wanted to get away from this fox spirit as soon as possible.
The green fox also saw Han Chengge's thoughts, and said again: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. The reason why I help you is because I have something to ask of you. If you are willing to me, then I can use mine. The mana will let you escape this catastrophe and help you settle down here, and your descendants will also enjoy my protection."
Hearing this, Han Chengge's heart couldn't help but ask Qinghu what he was begging them to do. The Qinghu didn't hide it, so she told Han Chengge that she wanted Han Chengge and others to give her a name and officially confer her as a fox fairy.
Hearing this, You Xiaoqing couldn't help but asked me softly: "Xiaoyong, why did the fox fairy in Tsing Yi ask Han Chengge to give her a name? Our generation already had a village before the Ming Dynasty. Enhui, didn't the people in that village give her a name?"
When You Xiaoqing asked this question, Han Qiguo did not go on, but looked at me, as if he also wanted to know the answer.
I thought about it for a while and said: "The name of the name is very complicated, because man is the spirit of all things, so everyone has the 'right' to name other creatures, but the size of this 'right' will be determined by the People's identities change according to their different status. The common people are the lowest, the squires are higher, and the officials are higher. In the officials, the higher the official position, the greater the right to be named, and the stronger the power of the name. Of course The title of the prince of a country is even more incredible. Of course, apart from officials, the title of Taoist and Buddhist people is not bad. If the Taoism reaches a certain level, the title may be higher than that of the prince of a country. …”
After listening to me, Han Qiguo said: "So it is, but Han Chengge is an official of the Ming Dynasty. When the Qing troops entered the pass, the Ming Dynasty was killed by Li Zicheng long ago. What's the use of his abolished faculty from the old dynasty? "
When I heard this, I said: "Li Zicheng broke through Beijing and forced the Chongzhen Emperor to commit suicide, but the Ming Dynasty was not truly destroyed, its physique is still there, and many Chinese officials and people still feel that they are officials of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, whether a dynasty perishes or not depends not on the life and death of an emperor, but on the aspirations of the people. Therefore, Han Chengge is still an official, an official recognized by the people. In other words, his official spirit is still there. ."
Hearing what I said, Han Qiguo nodded, as if to show that he understood, and You Xiaoqing also expressed it, so Han Qiguo continued to tell the next story.
When Han Chengge and others heard Qinghu's request, they were all stunned. They didn't know how to name them, so they chose Qinghu to ask, and Qinghu told Han Chengge and others in detail. The process was not complicated. , so Han Chengge agreed.
Han Qiguo did not say what the specific process was. I think that process should not have been recorded by legends.
Seeing that Han Chengge and the others agreed, the fox in Tsing Yi was even more happy. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of foxes jumped out of the grave. These foxes come in all colors, but there is no white one. Then they threw the leaves in front of Han Chengge and others. After the leaves were scattered, Han Chengge and others found that the leaves contained food.
Each leaf was held in twos and threes, and soon it became a small pile in front of it, and the foxes kept digging into the grave, and then moved the grain from under the grave with leaves little by little.
Seeing this, Han Chengge hurriedly ordered his relatives and entourage to start checking out the leaves in the grain pile, and at the same time led them to kowtow to the green fox over and over again.
While waiting for the foxes to stop, most of the foxes were already sweating so hard that their fur was wet.
And the grain piles in front of Han Chengge also piled up into several piles, and these grains were enough for them to eat for several years.
At this time, Han Chengge was very grateful to the green fox, and repeatedly called the green fox "Fox Immortal", and said that he would give the official name to the fox immortal soon.
On this day, Han Chengge asked a few followers to bring some food to a nearby town in exchange for some necessities for the naming ceremony.
That day, Han Chengge officially named her according to Green Fox's instructions, and from that day on, she officially became a fox immortal from the sour jujube grave.
On that day, Han Chengge and others had food, but there was no pot, no grinding plate, and no bowls and chopsticks, so they still couldn't eat cooked food, so Han Chengge asked Qingyi Huxian if there was anything he could do.
The fox fairy was silent for a while and then said: "Yes, so, if you need anything in the future, then put three pillars of fragrance on this sour jujube tomb, honor the fox fairy three times, and then say what you think in your heart. Sincerely, I will give you what you want with magic power, but this is against the law of heaven, you must return the things to me the next day, or you will be punished by heaven."
Han Chengge also nodded and agreed, and then used the remaining fragrance to give the fox fairy three sticks, and then prayed sincerely, and finally the fox fairy turned mana into a grinding plate, pots and pans, and even a stove. .
Hearing this, I couldn't help interrupting Han Chengge: "It's impossible, how could a fox immortal with a name conjure a real thing out of thin air? I'm afraid that such a supernatural power may not have the supernatural power of the earth immortal level. Creation, this kind of ability is ancient. The power of the gods."
Han Chengge was also stunned and said, "I don't know about this. It's what the legend says. Should I go on, Master Shi?"
The legend is like that! ? Fictitious, or real? But no matter what, I have to continue listening, so I signaled Han Qiguo to continue.
It was the first time that Han Chengge begged the fox immortal. After the fox immortal showed his supernatural powers, some other people tried to beg the fox immortal. , that is the people of Zaofen Village. There is only one person in each generation who can communicate with the fox fairy, and only that person can represent the villagers and ask for the things the villagers need from the fox fairy.
With such an agreement, Han Chengge will give the fox fairy a fragrance every day, ask for something, and then return it the next day, but Han Chengge is not insatiable. But after a long time, the fox immortals got tired of them, and their days would be over, so every time Han Chengge went to the fox immortals to ask for things, they were all the necessities for building a village, such as shovels, rakes, shovels, and livestock. kind.
It didn't take long for Dongzaofen Village to be built two miles east of Suanzaofen, and hundreds of acres of fertile fields were opened around the village. When the villagers have food, they have seeds. The first batch of grain was planted in Dongzaofen Village, and people here can finally be self-sufficient.
Therefore, the number of people asking for the fox fairy here is less and less.
The appearance of Suanzaofen Village naturally attracted the attention of several nearby villages, and gradually began to communicate with Suanzaofen Village, but the people of this village kept the matter of the fox fairy secret.
Later, the pursuers of the Qing court chased here to arrest Han Chengge's family. Han Chengge had to go to the fox fairy again. The fox fairy cast a spell to let the Han family escape, but how did they escape? There is no legend in the legend. elaborate.
However, since then, the Han family has worshiped the fox fairy as a god. Every season, people in the village will go to the Suanzaofen to worship the fox fairy, and the fox fairy also protects the safety and continuation of the Dongzaofen Village.
And every generation of people in Dongzaofen Village who communicated with the fox immortals were descendants of Han Chengge, and each generation was kind, not greedy, and never wantonly asked for things from the fox immortals. What the fox immortal asked for were farm tools, tables and chairs, and the next morning, they would return with some tribute.
And this kind of atmosphere has been used until the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is said that at that time, if someone in Dongzaofen Village needed a lot of tables and chairs for a wedding event, they would find the descendants of Hancheng Pavilion in the village and let him go to Suanzaofen Village one day in advance to ask for it. , the people who need it the next day go to the sour jujube tomb to pull, and they will find that the sour jujube tomb is full of jujube wood tables and chairs, and it is exactly the amount they asked for.
They pulled the tables and chairs away, waited for them to be used up for the day, and put them back into the sour jujube tomb before dark the next day, and then the tables and chairs would disappear without a trace the next day.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh: "Is this too convenient? Could it be that after so many generations, no one has borrowed things and refused to return them?"
Han Qiguo said: "This is naturally there. I am old and my brain is not enough, so I will talk about it and I will make up for it."
I also gave a "hmm" signal to Han Qiguo to continue.
The story goes back to the generations where Dongzaofen Village was established. The people of this Dongzaofen Village were all from the Han family. If they wanted to reproduce, they naturally had to intermarry with people from several nearby villages. This intermarriage, The secrets of the fox fairy will naturally spread out more or less, and some disasters and troubles will follow.
