No one expected that this beautiful female tour guide was actually a descendant of Chen Jinnan.
"Didn't Chen Jinnan go to Taiwan later? Did he leave any descendants here?" Jiang Chonglou asked curiously.
"Chen Jinnan's first wife was from Gaoxi Village. She gave birth to a son named He, who is the ancestor of our family..."
The female tour guide said: "Later, Chen Jinnan left Gaoxi Village with the Fifth Patriarch, changed his name and wandered around the world, went to Taiwan, and never came back...
However, his eldest son's lineage has been living in Gaoxi Village and guarding Gaoxi Temple...
In today's Gaoxi Village, most people have the surname He. There is a strict generational ranking, and a thick family tree has been passed down...
I saw these stories about Hongmen from our family tree!"
"Oh, that's it..." Jiang Zhonglou thought thoughtfully, then took out his mobile phone and said, "Tour guide, what's your name? Can you add me as a friend?"
"My name is He Min, what's wrong? The handsome guy is accompanied by two super beauties, and he still wants to have my idea?" The female tour guide smiled and took out her mobile phone and added Jiang Zhonglou's friends.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just very interested in the story of Hongmen and plan to make a documentary..."
Jiang Chonglou said quickly: "Look, can you make an appointment so that I can see your family tree, and then you can tell me the origin story of Hongmen in detail."
"No need to make an appointment, we will go to my house for dinner in a while. You can go to our He family ancestral hall and ask my grandfather to read our He family tree. He also knows many stories about the origin of Hongmen!" He Min said with a smile.
"Oh, thank you so much!" Jiang Zhonglou smiled.
"You're welcome, our Gaoxi Village now relies on tourism from Gaoxi Temple. Many families have opened farmhouses. Our He Family Ancestral Hall is also a tourist attraction. If you are interested, you can take a look..."
He Min added: "Everyone is free now. You can look around and go down the mountain for dinner later."
"good!"
Tourists were wandering around Gaoxi Temple.
Jiang Zhonglou and Niu Shuangniu Xixi came out of the side hall and walked around the yard. They saw a couplet written in black paint on the door of a dilapidated hut in the corner.
The first couplet is: "Remember the rain at five o'clock".
The second line is: "Three plus garrison fire and no day".
There are only two characters in Hengpi: "Beichen".
The paint on the couplet has become mottled over the years, and it is almost impossible to read the words...
"What does this couplet...mean?"
Jiang Zhonglou was stunned.
He can be regarded as knowledgeable about the past and present, especially in traditional Chinese culture, but he has no idea what this couplet means.
"Ask that know-it-all tour guide!"
Niu Shuangshuang went to find He Min.
Unexpectedly, He Min said: "I don't know what this couplet means. This Beichen...maybe means the North Star!"
"Uh...then who wrote this couplet?"
Jiang Zhonglou frowned.
He didn't expect that there were couplets in Gaoxi Temple that He Min didn't know the meaning of.
"This couplet is said to have been written by an old temple concubine." He Min replied.
"Old temple blessing?"
"Yes, my grandfather said that before the liberation of Gaoxi Temple, there was only one old temple left, and all the other monks had fled..."
He Min said: "This old Miao Zhu is deaf and mute, has brain problems, and is crazy. He often steals food from the villagers. If I catch him and beat him, he just laughs and giggles...
He also defecated everywhere in this room, making it so filthy that no one could come in...
Later, when the Four Olds were being destroyed, the people of Gaoxi Village wanted to demolish the Gaoxi Temple, but the temple leader came out and refused to allow anyone to demolish the temple. He also went crazy and injured several people...
The next day, the people of Gaoxi Village called more people to demolish the temple, and they found this strange couplet written in black paint on the door of the house where the old Miao Zhu lived...
Everyone pushed open the door and found old Miao Zhu hanging from the beam...
The villagers felt sorry for the old temple, so they did not demolish the Gaoxi Temple...
They carried out the old temple and cleaned up the feces and garbage in the house, but no one wanted to go into the house again...
Not only did this room stink, it also had someone hanged, and it has never been used again...
Until Gaoxi Temple was rebuilt later, everyone still tabooed this room, so it remained empty...
As for the couplet on the door, people of the older generation say that it was written randomly after the old man Zhu Zhu went crazy after seeing people demolishing the temple, and it has no meaning."
"this..."
Jiang Zhonglou listened to the story of the old temple Zhu, looked at the black painted couplets at the door, and frowned more and more.
Although the writing on this couplet is not very good, it is neat and neat, and the spacing between the words is also neat. It does not look like the graffiti of a madman after going crazy...
And this Gaoxi Temple is full of unknown secrets, and there must be a profound meaning hidden in this couplet...
That Temple Zhu is definitely not a crazy fool, he is probably the last person to hold the secret of Gaoxi Temple.
And this secret should be hidden in Gaoxi Temple!
Therefore, Miao Zhu heard that the people in Gaoxi Village were going to demolish the Gaoxi Temple, so he defended it with his life...
He must be afraid that the secrets in his heart will disappear forever after death, so he wrote this couplet on the door, hoping that someone would decipher it later...
As long as you decipher the meaning of this couplet, you can know the secret of Gaoxi Temple!
But, what exactly does this couplet mean?
"Five o'clock and one rain household", literally means that the sum of rain and household has five "dots"...
As for "Three plus garrison days", I have no idea what it means...
Also, does the horizontal comment about "Beichen" really mean the Big Dipper?
Jiang Zhonglou was still deep in thought, but He Min said: "Sir, your surname is also He? I see that your online name is He Afeng. Is this your real name?"
"Yes, my surname is He too. We were the same family five hundred years ago!"
Jiang Zhonglou smiled, took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the weird couplet.
"Where are you from?" He Min asked again.
"I'm from Hong Kong Island, and my ancestors should also be from the coastal area." Jiang Zhonglou said.
"Oh, then, it is possible that we were actually a family five hundred years ago!"
He Min smiled and said: "Let's go down the mountain. I will take you to the He family ancestral hall to meet my grandfather!"
"Okay, thank you!"
Jiang Zhonglou and the Niu sisters followed He Min and other tourists down the mountain and returned to the village, where they came to a house.
"Dad, Mom, are the meals ready?"
He Min called as soon as he entered the door.
"It's all ready, let's get the guests to the table!"
A middle-aged couple came out, invited the tourists to sit at several large tables under the shed in the courtyard, and then led them to serve a table of food.
Sour bamboo shoots, wild mushrooms, bacon...all are delicacies from the mountains, and the tourists ate them with relish and praised them full of praise.
After dinner, He Min's family set up a fruit and barbecue stall in the yard for everyone to drink and enjoy the cool air.
"If you want to visit the He Family Ancestral Hall, come with me!"
He Min raised the tour guide flag again.
Some tourists didn't want to go, so they continued to eat barbecue and drink.
Jiang Zhonglou and the Niu sisters followed He Min to the He family ancestral hall at the west end of the village.
I saw that the ancestral hall was a lonely old house, which seemed to be almost a hundred years old.
On the plaque of the ancestral hall, there are four characters written "Sunrise Fusang".
The couplet on both sides is "Glorious to the Nine Provinces and Four Kingdoms, and its origins will last through generations."
Jiang Zhonglou couldn't help being shocked!
"Kyushu" and "Shikoku" are the place names of Fuso...
"Founded through generations" should mean that the ancestors of the He family came from Fusang...
And "Sunrise Fusang" directly named Fusang as the birthplace of the He family!
Could it be that the ancestors of the He family really came from Fusang?
Jiang Zhonglou couldn't help but think of the descendants of the Ba people who were brought to Fusang by Xu Fu: Ba Snake's Ba...
Could it be that the He family in Gaoxi Village, like the Ba God, are descendants of the Ba Snake?
However, He Min said that their ancestor was Chen Jinnan, who founded Hongmen...
Could it be that Chen Jinnan is actually from Fusang?
