"I heard you talked for so long, but I couldn't see what connection did Old Kun in Wei have with this tomb."

"Kobayashi, you are too impatient! Everything has its causes and consequences!"

"Okay, okay, keep talking." Lin Ying felt that Section Chief Feng had finally returned.

Section Chief Feng continued to tell the story of Wei Lao Kun. Since he was given the title by the emperor, people have started calling this child "Lao Kun", although he was not old at all at that time.

Wei Laokun lived in Yuntang Town for another eight years. He did not study the Four Books and Five Classics, nor did he study the Zhouyi Eight Trigrams.

"These are all things that can be seen through the leopards and learn what they do."

Despite this, his conversation about his visit to the former emperor spread in the capital. Many high-ranking officials and nobles traveled thousands of miles to Weiyang to pay homage to the "real person" and begged for guidance.

But Wei Laokun still refused.

"I dare not speak out yet."

When he was ten years old, Wei Laokun's grandfather passed away. The local gentry invested money to hold a grand funeral for him. After the funeral, Wei Laokun still stayed at home, but what made the gentry happy was that he began to help others give advice.

However, if you want to get the guidance of Wei Lao Kun, it is absolutely impossible to have no money, and it is absolutely impossible to have less money.

He also specially found a scholar to write a red paper banner, which was posted on the gate of the Wei family's house, with ten words written on it - "The secrets of heaven are worth a lot of money, don't come to the door if you don't have money."

A poor man questioned Wei Lao Kun about the poor and the rich. Wei Lao Kun smiled and said, "Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs. Why should all things be compassionate to each other?"

The person who came to the door in the end was either a wealthy man from Suzhou and Hangzhou, or a king and a nobleman. The fees were too high.

Therefore, although Wei Laokun was surprised in his magic, he did not leave much in the history books. After all, the people who wrote history were either historians in the court or free literati, and these people could not afford to invite Wei Laokun. And those high-ranking officials and rich people would not show anything to others easily if they found Wei Laokun.

After Wei Lao Kun collected so much money, he neither married nor had children nor bought mountains and fields. He had only one hobby, which was to buy a place and build a house.

"Isn't this the same thing as what Xiao Envoy is doing in the Niangniang Temple now?" Lin Ying couldn't help asking when she heard this.

Section Chief Feng smiled and said, "So there is an old saying in Yuntang, called 'Yuntang Banbianwei'."

"Yes, I heard from the descendants of the Wei family." Lin Ying remembered the former Wei Yanxiao said that the Wei family was a large clan in Yuntang and occupied half of Yuntang's rivers and mountains, but later the population was scattered.

When she told Section Chief Feng about this, Section Chief Feng smiled.

"If you want to study local chronicles, you will find that the Wei clan in Yuntang has always been sparsely populated, especially the main family, which often has three generations of single-birth riddles, but it is endless.

"The reason why it is called 'Yuntang Half-bian Wei' is because Wei Lao Kun bought land everywhere in the town to rebuild it. In the end, the Wei family's house basically occupied a small half of Yuntang Town."

People from the same tribe asked him, why are you living in so many houses alone?

Wei Laokun smiled and said, "I am the same person now, and there will be more people in the future."

There is another strange thing, that is, the workers who built a house for the Wei family, and the deaf, dumb and stupid villagers who were looking for by Wei Lao Kun. He has delicious food and drink to support this group of people. They can only work and can't speak.

No one knows what is busy with the Wei family’s high wall.

Of course, the Wei family has few people, high walls and large houses, so they will naturally be targeted by thieves. Legend has it that there is a man named Chu in the village who has learned a trick of flying eaves and walking on the wall since childhood. He saw that Wei's house was big and his servants were all deaf, so he jumped onto the high wall with the big tree outside the yard in the middle of the night.

But as soon as he sat on the wall, he found a sign with black characters on white background and a few words were written on it.

"On the first day of April of the sixth year of Longqing, the people of Chu looked here."

The thief named Chu was so scared that he climbed out of the wall. This incident slowly spread, and no one dared to make trouble for Wei Zhai again.

When he was fifteen years old, Wei Laokun suddenly went out for a long trip, and he disappeared for thirty years since then.

Thirty years later, a man wearing a mask led a group of women and children back to Wei's house. People in Yuntang Town were surprised to find that Wei Lao Kun had married so many wives and gave birth to so many children. The house built by the Wei family was really for the sake of his descendants.

Later, Wei Laokun settled his family and disappeared again after living in Yuntang for three years.

Some people say that he was summoned by Emperor Wanli to build a tomb, and some people say that he was a job as a prince. In short, Wei Laokun never returned to Yuntang Town since then, and his children grew up one by one and lived a decent life in Yuntang.

Later, the Jurchens went south, and various small courts of the Southern Ming Dynasty retreated one after another. After the dynasty changed, there were years of war and chaos, and many families suffered a catastrophe, but the Wei family magically preserved it.

As for Wei Lao Kun, after two dynasties and several emperors, it has become a legend in Yuntang Town.

It was soon the 61st year of the Kangxi reign. In that year, General Wang Yinzhen had just pacified the invasion of Tsungar by the Junggar, and was stationing troops in Ganzhou, preparing to expedition to Yili, and to destroy Junggar Khan Cewang Alabandan.

At that time, there were a few people from Yuntang in the Qing army, all of whom were conscripted. One night that winter, the cold winter was howling outside, and someone came to their tent. The man was wearing gray hair and a soft-skinned mask.

Several people from Yuntang were still wondering, but the man took out a letter and handed it to them and said, "If you return to your hometown tomorrow, I'll give this letter and this thing to Yuntang Wei Liefeng."

Wei Liefeng was the leader of the Wei clan in Yuntang at that time, and the people of Yuntang knew him.

"Who are you? General Wang plans to fight west next spring, so it's still early for us to return home."

The man didn't say anything, just smiled, then lifted the felt cloth from the tent and disappeared into the night.

Several people from Yuntang chased after him and found that there was a silence outside, with only the bitter cold wind blowing from the Qilian Mountains shouting.

The next morning, they were awakened by the shrill sound of trumpets. A general came to convey the military order. Except for the remaining troops, everyone else returned to the east. The civilians of Yuntang were also in the East Return Organization.

They were inexplicably shocked when they remembered the weirdo's prophecy last night.

"Aren't you going to fight the West? How do you want to go back?" They inquired one after another.

"I don't know this? Even the General King returned to Beijing yesterday!"

"Why go back to Beijing?"

"I heard that the emperor has passed away!"

The few people were shocked. They did not dare to ask more questions, but they just kept the letter and the cloth bag more properly, because this was entrusted by a masked god, so how could they dare to neglect it?

The group of people returned to their hometown in the autumn of the first year of Yongzheng. They handed the letter and cloth bag to the Wei family, and then went back to find out who the weird guy they met was.

"You are young and know a little bit of anecdotes." An old scholar in the town began to tell the story of Wei Lao Kun. After he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "After having passed through two dynasties and eight emperors, Lao Kun has become an immortal, right?"

This incident was recorded in the notes by the old scholar, and this was also the last time that Wei Lao Kun's figure appeared in history.
