Chapter five hundred and forty fourth historical story
After saying a word from the village director Zhang, he added: "It shouldn't be there, but there is no surname Wei in the village anyway."
Chen Jing heard this and said, "Director Zhang, Wei Yan's descendants may not necessarily have their surname as Wei."
"Ah?" Director Zhang was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously said, "Will Wei Yan's descendants be Wei?"
Xiang Qi Wenyan pushed his glasses and said, "This is possible. Wei Yan was killed in history. If there were indeed descendants who did not die, in order to avoid being implicated, he would definitely change his name and hide it."
This is different from the modern era. The information spread in ancient times was not fast. In addition, there was no photo fingerprint or other means to identify identity, changing the name and surname can indeed escape the official pursuit.
Chen Jing glanced at Xiang Qi after hearing this and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang is studying history?"
Xiang Qi waved his hand and replied: "No, I used to like playing Three Kingdoms games, so I learned a little."
The Three Kingdoms is an era with brilliant stars and magnificent waves, and it is indeed very suitable for making games. For example, the famous "Three Kingdoms" series is indeed very classic.
But it's ironic, Hua.
The excellent game made of Xia’s historical stories was made by Neon Kingdom.
On this side, Director Zhang said again: "If you don't have the surname Wei, it will be a little difficult to find. There are also many people in our village, and some of them go out to work and are not in the village."
Chen Jing asked: "The oldest old man in the village has lived a long life this year?"
"It's Master Zhou, I'm 93 years old this year." Director Zhang responded, and added that he remembered something: "Yes, you can go and ask Master Zhou. He has lived in our Baique Village for a lifetime. If there is a family that is a descendant of Wei Yan, he may know."
Chen Jing nodded and looked at Song Ruoxu.
Song Ruoxu naturally understood what he meant, so he did not stay in the village government for too long, so he asked Xiang Qi to take down some daily necessities such as rapeseed oil, rice and noodles from the trunk of the car.
"Brother Chen, Master Zhou's family lives at the east end of the village. In the past, there were several low-income households and poor families on the way. Let's go and see the situation first." Song Ruoxu said.
Chen Jing naturally nodded and said okay.
Afterwards, the village director of the Zhang family also accompanied several people to the east end of the village. On the way, he talked about the history of Wei Yan Temple with great enthusiasm.
Last night, the village director of Baique Village naturally knew the history of Wei Yan Temple very detailed. Although Chen Jing had learned some relevant information, he still listened very seriously.
First of all, the current Wei Yan Temple is actually not a long history. The Wei Yan Temple was built in unknown time. It was later demolished by the government and was rebuilt on its original address in 1995.
In other words, the current Wei Yan Temple is not a historical building, and there are no clues related to the Chixiao Sword.
In addition, there is a historical story about Wei Yan Temple.
It is said that in the ninth year of Jianxing, that is, in 231 AD, when Zhuge Liang began the fourth northern expedition, a large army stationed in Zhuge Village, Wolong Mountain. He ordered Wei Yan to lead his troops to station near the present Sanquan Township to support the situation.
According to legend, the weather was extremely hot at that time. Wei Yan found a large group of birds gathering in a forest, and decided to stay there. Because bird droppings fell one after another, the officers and soldiers had to cook somewhere a little left the woods. However, they did not find the water source.
A large group of sparrows gathered on top of Wei Yan's troops, which made the soldiers plan to bomb the sparrows away. At this moment, Wei Yan found a white sparrow among the large group of sparrows and was attracted by the white sparrow.
Then, Wei Yan chased the white sparrow to a rocky field. Suddenly, the white sparrow disappeared in the crack of the rock very strangely. Wei Yan was very surprised. He tried to push the rock, but the rock collapsed and a large amount of spring water gushed out from it.
It turned out that there was a stream of groundwater under the rock.
With that groundwater, the officers and soldiers found the water source for cooking and bathing, and the local farmers who suffered from drought were also very happy.
So they called the groundwater Wei Yan River. It is said that Wei Yan often wore a war robe, held a war horse, and held a big knife to inspect the river.
Later, in order to remember the legendary story of Wei Yan's garrison, local people built the Weijiahe Temple by the Wei Yan River and built a small bridge on the river, named "General Bridge".
Among them, the Weijiahe Temple was destroyed in 1968. The stone tablet engraved with the "Wei Yan led his troops here" was nowhere to be found. However, the General Bridge still exists and is only buried in the water. The bridge can only be seen after the water retreats every June and July.
"White sparrow? Is this the name Baique Village?" After hearing this story, Kong Xue asked with a hint of dignified and pretty face.
The village director surnamed Zhang replied: "Anyway, our village has said this for generations."
"There are indeed white sparrows, but the story of finding the groundwater later is a bit mysterious." Chen Jing said thoughtfully.
"Indeed, it should be just a myth of Wei Yan by people in ancient times. After all, he was also a world-famous general at that time. The ancients were all feudal superstitious and thought that those who were capable all descended from the earth, such as Wenqu Star and the star descended from the earth, which aggravated their deification of some famous ministers and generals." Song Ruoxu also said after hearing this.
Chen Jing nodded slightly to express his agreement, but he still had some other opinions in his heart. The story just now said that Wei Yanhe and Wei Yan Temple were named and built by local people to miss that time.
Is it possible that Wei Yan's descendants were worried about exposing their identities and wanted to build a temple for their ancestors, so they said this on purpose just to dispel some doubts from those who are interested?
This possibility is not inferior.
Just as Chen Jing was thinking, the group walked to the village’s minimum living allowance outdoors.
"Yang Laosan, are you at home?" the village director surnamed Zhang shouted.
