It is said that nearly a thousand regimental warriors from Yanying joined many thieves, set up an ambush in Huangtiandang, and laid out a murderous formation like a dragnet.
Most of these people were from hunting geese and spearfish, and were accustomed to using ambushes.
The area was overgrown with water and grass, and the reeds were extremely dense and deserted, covering up the hidden sinister murderous intent.
The wilderness between the water and the wilderness was cold and eerily quiet, and there was no sign of anything unusual outside.
At dawn, the morning dew still lingered on the grass tips, and wisps of mist shone in the puddles deep in the reeds.
Seeing that the Taiping Army was about to enter Huangtiandang, Zhang Xiaowei hurriedly asked Yanpai Li Si to stay and mobilize the troops to prepare.
Ambush the Cantonese invaders.
He took the black cat with him and was followed by two sentry officers, Sun Dazi and Yan Ling'er.
The three of them supported a platoon of wild geese across the water and headed for the wild goose mound in the deepest part of the swamp.
The Yanzhong was originally a mound in Huangtiandang, but it was later submerged by water.
It is said that among the migratory birds that migrated from north to south in the past, there were often many that were old and weak, or suffered from injuries and illnesses during the journey.
They knew that they would never reach their destination, so they had to endure hardships and wait on the wild goose mound.
Until death, he will look up to the sky and watch his kind soaring in the sky.
No one has ever known why those dying migratory birds and wild geese stay on the wild goose mound.
However, the geese people have respected loyalty since ancient times and have continued the ancient practice and have never harmed the migratory birds that landed near the geese mound.
There is another legend about Yanzhong.
Of course, even the oldest hunter among the Yan people can’t tell its origin clearly, and it has only been passed down orally from generation to generation.
It is said that probably at the end of the Tang Dynasty, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a general was killed here.
The wild goose people in the wild felt sorry for his heroic death, so they built a low and simple earth temple on the wild goose mound, hid the general's body in it, burned incense and worshiped every year.
Even the Clay God in the Cold Temple could not become more agile after receiving more incense, not to mention that the corpse in the Earth Temple was that of a military commander who had been wronged and aggrieved.
I don’t know if the heroic spirit is immortal.
Ever since the General Temple was built on Yanzhong, the mound began to sink and eventually sank below the water surface.
Then the signs in the sky were abnormal.
Countless water rats carried stones and threw them into the grass.
They built a circle of dams around the wild goose tomb, which actually stretched for dozens of miles.
They channeled and connected all the water systems flowing into Huangtiandang, raising prodigal sons.
There is abundant water and grass, and drought and floods do not invade.
Just from the beginning, there were often dark winds and black mist surging in the reed swamps, causing the color of the sky and the earth to change, and the waterways to get lost.
These abnormal phenomena between the heaven and the earth came and went, and there was never a certain pattern to follow.
The people of Yanzhong all said that it was the resentment of the general in Yanzhong that had not dissipated.
As long as a dark wind blew, it would indicate that there would be wars, fires, floods, and epidemics in the world.
People in the past were convinced of this.
They bought children from poor families from other provinces according to the age, put together a pair of boys and girls, packed them up and dressed them up, and threw them alive into the waters around Yanzhong to be drowned and fed to the fish.
Ask the underwater gods to calm down and bless you with peace.
But it has never been seen that it really has any effect.
No matter how the ignorant people worship it, war and natural disasters will still come, so the incense here gradually becomes deserted.
It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that this cruel custom was completely abolished.
Zhang Xiaobian'er remembered that when he met the old ghost in the forest for the second time in the Cat Fairy Temple, he was told that he would be a star now.
In this troubled world, if you can prosper in martial arts, you only need to act according to the arrangements of the old ghost in the forest.
Whether you are fighting bandits or killing thieves, you will win in battle and defeat in attack.
If you want to win in Huang Tiandang, you must use black cats.
The general's corpse was brought out from Yanzhong.
If there were any mistakes, Yanying would be in danger of being wiped out.
As the saying goes, "Everything you say is a trap to trap others, and words are a trap for others."
This was true at all, but Zhang Xiaopian'er was so obsessed that he actually regarded the words of the old ghost in the forest as golden rules.

He really followed his words and naturally believed that success or failure depended on this, so he hurried away to the wild geese.
Tomb, it is precisely "the heart is busy like an arrow, but it is too slow, and it is too late to rush away like flying".
Yan Linger, who leads the way, has grown up in Huangtiandang since he was a child.
He is very familiar with the waterways everywhere.
He supports the geese row to cross the water, passes through the dense reeds, and brings Zhang Xiaobian'er and Sun Dazi to an open water. .
I saw that deep in the reeds, the level was like a mirror, the smoke was vast, and the depth was unpredictable.
Yan Ling'er got down from the pole and stopped the row of wild geese, and told Zhang Xiaobian'er: "Third brother, this is the Yan Tomb.
The General Temple is sunk in the water.
There are often sucking whirlpools underneath, and the water is deep and shallow.
It’s hard to predict.
Over the years, no one has dared to go down and find out.”
Zhang Xiaobian'er is not very good at water, and he can at most use dog-pawing techniques.
When he got to the water, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he insisted: "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters.
We Yanying are all good guys, and we only need to do things as long as we can."
Please be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and don’t care about people’s words.
You guys just use your tactics to believe in the rumors of ghosts and gods.
Let’s see how the third master invites the general whose bones are buried in the water to come out to see him.”
Sun Mazi had never been afraid of ghosts and gods, but he only respected the ancient sages and heroes.
Now that he was about to fight a fierce battle with the Cantonese invaders, he couldn't understand why Zhang Xiaobian'er suddenly did such a strange thing.
Hearing this, he hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "My lord, It’s not your fault to act recklessly in this matter.
I think the general is also a prince of Shuifu with heroic telepathy.
How could you be so easily alarmed?”
Zhang Xiao Zhuan'er said: "If there are really heroic spirits in the water, they should help me, Yan Ying, to kill the bandits."
After saying this, he ordered Yan Ling'er to hold the raft to the edge of the dam.
There are fist-sized holes all over the dam, which are drilled densely by water rats and connected throughout.
Water rats are a bit like water rats.
They have sharp teeth that can knock down thousand-year-old trees and are good at building dams and embankments.
But the water rats in Huangtiandang are commonly known as water rats or ghost rat spirits among the people.
They are not the same species as water cats and beavers.
They like cold and damp places and are cruel and cunning by nature.
They can enter the water and drag big fish ashore, or they can They kill waterfowl and wild geese that live in the reeds for food, and the giant rats among them can even kill old cats.
In this prodigal place, they are gathering more and more yin energy in the water, and their numbers are hard to estimate.
Only Lingzhou tabby cats can suppress them.
Zhang Xiaobian'er followed the cat-telling technique taught by the old ghost in the forest and pushed the Yueying, black-eyed golden cat to the water rat hole.
A cat's nature is to act upon the smell of fish.
Although the Lingzhou tabby cat never hunts mice, the creatures are incompatible with each other.
It smelled the fishy smell in the water rat's cave and couldn't help but "scream".
Some readers may want to ask, how does it "cry"?
It turns out that the sound of a cat's meow has been divided into several levels since ancient times.
All cats are valued for being able to "cry".
For example, the meow of a lazy cat like Lian Zao Chi Chi is "Call", and the most powerful ones are called "cat calls".
The cat's cry was no small matter.
It was so loud that the clouds dispersed in the sky, and the fish in the deep spring were frightened by the sound.
There is a saying in the Book of Cats, which says: "Those with golden threads in their eyes are as majestic as a lion or a tiger.
They can rule the house and sleep in the hall, but even the dormouse will perish."

The Yin rat spirit in the water is most afraid of the cat's cry.
Escape, the panic spread from one to ten, and quickly It spread quickly, and the water rats hiding in the caves of the dam all thought that a disaster was coming.
They saw the female holding the young one in her mouth, and the male dragging the old one, swarming out of each cave, and the tide also He seemed to be running around on the embankment.
Zhang Xiaowei'er and others did not expect that a few meows would cause such a big commotion.
Seeing the countless smooth-skinned water rats with sharp teeth rushing towards the road, one after another rushing past in front of them like a turbid current, It seems that the end of heaven and earth is coming.
The three of them were extremely shocked, and it really made their heads tingle.
Yan Ling'er quickly rowed the boat into the water, hoping to get as far away as possible.
There were so many water rats that there was no room for them on the long and narrow rat dam, so many were forced to fall into the water.
Those sinister rats were born to be able to wade in water.
The group of rats that fell into the water struggled to swim away, stirring up the still water surface for a while.
Suddenly the water surface collapsed and a huge water-absorbing whirlpool appeared.
The water rats got a little closer and were sucked into it.
This made the water rat even more panicked.
Yan Ling'er shouted, "It's not good.
It's probably the Mitongling fish lurking at the bottom of Huangtiandang."
She knew that this thing was powerful and knew that she could not stay on the water, so she drove the geese to a nearby high ground.
This place was originally the roots of an ancient tree that had been broken, and could barely stay.
The three of them stepped on the root of the old tree with their front feet, and the goose row was knocked over with their back feet.
They saw the water waves parting, revealing a big fish like a water monster, with the head but not the tail visible.
The fish's head was three times bigger than the large millstone.
The fish's head resembled a human face, its skin was as colored as stone, and its mouth was astonishingly big.
It opened its mouth to suck water, and kept devouring the yin rats huddled around it.
All things in the world circulate according to the way of heaven.
The way is to add brine to tofu, and one thing will be reduced to another.
There are a lot of water rats gathered in the prodigal, and naturally there are also Mitongling fish that specialize in eating water rats.
The so-called "Midong" means to absorb water.
This fish is of stone nature and lies motionless at the bottom of the water all year round.
However, at this time, rats gathered on the surface of the water and the noise was abnormal, which attracted it to come out.
The mud and sand at the bottom of the water rose up and rose to the surface.
Sun Dazi didn't recognize the Mi Dong Ling Fish and said it was really a creature transformed by a man on the water.
He couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Yan Ling'er knew that the water-absorbing power of this toad fish could swallow cattle and horses.
She didn't know what Zhang Xiaopian'er wanted to do, so she could only ask: "Third brother, a large group of Cantonese invaders will arrive in a blink of an eye, and you want to catch fish now?"
"?"
Zhang Xiaobian'er is the most lazy person.
Even if he is in danger, he will not forget to try to be happy and say casually: "I don't know something, your third brother has an eighty-year-old woman at home."
In the hall, we all hope to catch this fish and bring it back so that we can sell it to support the eighty-year-old woman."
Yan Ling'er was very moved when he heard the words, thinking that I, the Yanying camp officer Zhang Sange, are not only resourceful, generous, and extremely loyal, but what's more rare is that I am a close relative and a filial piety.
When I go to war, I will not forget to support the "Eight Eight" in my family.
A ten-year-old mother."
As the saying goes, adultery is the first of all evils, and filial piety is the first.
In today's world, it is really rare to be able to do this, and I have respected and loved him even more since then.
But before Zhang Xiaowei'er finished speaking, he saw the mausoleum suddenly wagging its tail and moving its scales, and spit out a big skeleton from its big mouth.
The skeleton was so huge.
Although all the skin and flesh were gone, only the white skeleton was left.

Even so, it was still half taller than the burly Sun Mazi.
The whole body is covered with armor.
The helmet is a sun-moon flying tiger helmet, the armor is a chain-leaf chainmail, animal head shoulder pads, a bronze mirror to protect the heart, a cow-string leather cord as a sash, and a parrot green embroidered war robe lined inside.
I don't know why, but the military uniform is still as bright as new.
Zhang Xiaobian'er could see it clearly as he lay at the root of the tree, thinking that it was the cat fairy Grandpa who finally brought this "Yatai" out of the water.
It has been buried under the water for thousands of years.
Sure enough, it is because it has been cultivated for a long time, but it does not know what it will do after it appears.
This is exactly what "the white clouds were originally without intention, but were drawn out by the breeze."
If you want to know how this general's bones can help Yanying's troops kill the enemy, let's wait and see how the Golden Coffin Beast will be decomposed next time
