Chapter 1215 The World Belongs to Zhao
Until the third day, except for the senior officials in the village, everyone else had the dream, especially the young people in the village who were unwilling to stay in the village all their lives.
They heard about the outside world from the merchants, but they lacked the courage to go out. Now the ancestor dragged the dream, which was undoubtedly heartwarming.
Only the senior officials in the village felt that something was wrong. This village was a small kingdom. Those who could become senior officials were naturally different from ordinary villagers. Most of these people were literate and had family backgrounds. Many information was passed down from generation to generation. They had heard about Taoism.
In fact, because of this incident, they had already had the intention to kill.
Although the Taoist priest was magical, he was also a mortal. If this incident was really done by the Taoist priest, he must be killed.
Otherwise, people's minds would change, and such a large village would be scattered.
Therefore, a group of core figures immediately began to gather warriors and form a team, thinking that once the Taoist priest showed up, they would kill him directly.
However, the man of destiny that the ancestor had dreamed of never appeared. Instead, a heavy rain caused a somewhat dilapidated ancestral temple in the village to collapse directly.
This temple can be said to be the common ancestor of the village, but its direct descendants have been cut off, so it is dilapidated. Although there are still people worshipping, it is rarely repaired.
Over the past few hundred years, many similar things have happened.
But this time it was different. After the ancestral temple collapsed, a stone man was dug out from the corner of the ancestral temple. The stone man was very rough and it could be seen at a glance that it was an ancient artifact. On the back of it, there were indeed four words written: "Huang Tian Ying Ming"!
This immediately caused an uproar among the people.
The mountain is not completely closed. Everyone has heard about the Huang Tian Dao that was making a lot of noise outside. In the perception of the mountain people, their ancestors were forced by the court, so they fled to the mountains.
However, Huang Tiandao made decisions for the common people, killed the tyrants, and distributed land and grain...
This stone statue of Huang Tianying made many people think of the dream of the ancestor a few days ago. After all, this place was originally the temple of the ancestors, and the bones of the ancestors were buried in it. Now, the temple collapsed and the stone man was exposed. Could it be that the ancestors used this to remind the descendants? !
Later, another old man dug out the information about this ancestor from his memory, which he had heard from his elders' elders. It is unknown how many generations have been passed down.
In word of mouth, this ancestor was magical when he was alive. He had predicted the outbreak of mountain torrents several times in a row, and he knew the weather. He said when it would rain, it would rain dozens of times, and how much it would rain, exactly.
However, for this matter, they all thought that their elders were telling them a story.
But this incident immediately made the dream a few days ago more convincing.
And this is not over yet. At midnight, there were wolves howling, foxes barking, and tigers roaring in the forest. In a trance, there were thousands of troops roaring: Huang Tian responded to the order!
After a while, the clear sky on the moonlit night suddenly turned. In an instant, thunder shook, wind and rain raged, and the howling winds seemed like ghosts and gods were crying. In the dark, there seemed to be a voice saying that their ancestors had leaked the secrets of heaven, so they were punished by heaven.
For a while, many people could not tell whether it was reality or they were dreaming.
By the next day, the atmosphere of the whole village was different.
Although the weather in the mountains is changeable, it is common to have a thunderstorm in the next moment, but combined with the various events before and after, what seemed ordinary suddenly became extraordinary.
People often believe in the "truth" they have made up in their minds.
The ancestor's dream was very vague, only saying that a group of people would appear, but the ancestor did not elaborate on what kind of people they were in the dream.
However, as various events progressed, a certain statement suddenly spread in the village, saying that the person the ancestor mentioned must be Huang Tiandao's general, and that the ancestor had originally fled to the mountains, where life was hard, and now seeing an opportunity, he would rather offend the heavens than point out a way for his descendants, not wanting his descendants to be like him, just a wild man in the mountains...
This statement appeared very suddenly, but it spread suddenly in a moment, and many people believed it without a doubt.
However, despite all the signs, the legendary man of destiny never appeared.
In this situation, the people in the village became anxious and began to worry whether something went wrong.
This went on for several days, until one day, a hunter hunted a lone wolf, killed it, and cut open its stomach, and actually saw a bright yellow silk book in its stomach, just like the imperial edict used by the emperor in the legend.
In fact, the hunter didn't know what the imperial edict looked like. He just heard adults say it was a bright yellow when he was young...
The hunter couldn't read, so he immediately found someone in the village who knew how to read but couldn't write.
And in just a short while, the news had spread.
Soon, everyone in the village knew that the hunter had hunted wolves, cut open their stomachs, and found an imperial edict, which read, "Huang Tian obeyed the order, and the world returned to Zhao."
All of a sudden, the emotions that had been accumulated in the village for a long time were directly ignited.
It was at this time that a shout suddenly came from outside the village. It was a team of more than 30 people. They stood at the door and shouted that they were the heavenly soldiers of Huang Tiandao. Because of the war, they temporarily entered the mountains. Now they knew there was a village here, so they came to exchange some supplies under the order of General Yingtian.
Because they didn't want the people in the village to misunderstand, so only so many people came...
As soon as these words came out, people immediately thought about it.
Huang Tian, Yingtian, it's this time again.
So, some brave young people immediately shouted loudly on the high tower in the village, asking the people below, is your general surnamed Zhao? !
After waiting for a positive reply, a group of young people immediately opened the door enthusiastically and welcomed the group directly in.
Later, the group of people led by Lin Yi did not mention recruiting soldiers in the village, but just did business. Later, the young people in the village could not help it, and they united and went to ask Lin Yi if they were still recruiting soldiers.
In response, Lin Yi just said that he could not make the decision on this matter and needed to go back and report to the general.
This went on for several days. Just when the young people in the village were waiting impatiently, Lin Yi finally came back and nodded in the expectant eyes of the young people.
On the spot, Lin Yi recruited 53 people and opened up the situation.
Zhao Cheng pretended to be a ghost and did so many things just for this moment, to make everything legitimate, and even let the mountain people think that it was not him who wanted to recruit soldiers, but he wanted to be a soldier.
Only in this way would the mountain people not resist.
At the same time, only in this way can he proceed to the next step, to rule the mountain people with the mountain people, use the soldiers and horses organized by these mountain people, and use military and administrative power to achieve the rule of Lianshan Baizhai in a short time.
If an outsider comes to rule by air, he can only use force to coerce, which is not worth the loss. But if he rules his own people, the result will be completely different.
