Chapter 2299

Zhang Yaowu pushed his glasses: "I didn't think of the clue, but I thought of a story."

"Story? What story. " I asked strangely.

"The story of the revenging." Zhang Yaowu held up his tea cup, took a sip, and continued: "there are many believers in the Central Plains and Southeast Asia. Apart from being able to predict the future and convey information, the temperament of the two regions is totally different."

"China's God of retribution likes to be secretly supported by others, and it must not be publicized. If it is said to people, the God of retribution will not give them any more willpower, or even bring disaster. In Southeast Asia, people have a strange temperament, especially a preference for men and a special preference for old men. "

"There are different opinions about the origin of the spirit of retribution. The source of it can't be tested long ago. But there's a little story going on, which is very interesting. "

"It's said that this revenger was originally a couple of conjoined people. His brother's name is dark, and his brother's name is faith. The two brothers grew together from the top of their heads to the heels of their feet. They were born against each other's backs. Like two faced people, they could never see each other. The rest of the area is fine, just sharing the same pair of ears. "

"This pair of ears are very strange. One can only hear cicadas chirping and birds chirping thousands of miles away, but can't distinguish the sound nearby. The other can only hear the sound nearby, but can't hear the sound far away, and only one ear can work at the same time!"

"Both of them can manipulate any ear at will, but their temperament is totally different. An inner lechery is incomparable, but because it is born in such a face, unable to contact the beautiful girl, gradually inner distortion, become a freak. The other is timid by nature and afraid of meeting people because of his ugly appearance. "

"In addition to their differences of heart and nature, they also have great differences on how to use these two ears. The one who is lecherous in his heart wants to hear the sound of happiness from afar, and the one who is timid wants to hear the sound from nearby, for fear of any danger. "

"Gradually, the differences between the two became bigger and bigger. They were quarreling all the time, but they were born because they were back to each other, and they were all connected. No one could do anything but persuade each other."

"Later, they heard that there lived an old immortal with boundless magic power on Xianshan mountain, who could solve all problems. So they decided to ask the gods for help. "

"After many tribulations, they finally climbed the mountain and saw the omnipotent old fairy!"

"After listening to their narration, the old fairy took out a sword and said," it's very simple. As long as I split one sword, you will have one ear and two halves. You can use whichever you want. Then you stride forward, one to the East and one to the West. You will never meet again, or you will be punished by heaven. "

"The two agreed happily. The old immortal split down with one sword. They separated and got the ears they wanted."

"Originally, it was a great thing for everyone to be happy, but then they found that there were more and more troubles. The one who was born lecherous, because he could hear the sound of happiness, and without the shackles of conjoined, could not help but follow the sound to peep. But the closer he gets, the smaller the sound is, until he sees the picture that has made him itch for a long time, but he can't hear a sound at all. "

"The other timid is always afraid of being hurt by others. It turned out that there was a man behind him, but he was still at ease. Now after being split, he always felt that someone would kill him from behind at any time. "

"At this time, both of them think of the other ear they once had - and both of them think that they should have been their own ears."

"So they all started to kill each other. They all turned around and walked towards each other."

"At first, they were very careful and afraid of being discovered by each other, but they were very happy slowly. Because they found that there was also a small ear growing on the other side of the empty side. Every step, the small ear would be bigger and the sound they wanted to hear would be clearer. "

"But what they don't know is that every step they take, their body shrinks by one point. Until I saw the shadow in the distance, it was the size of rice! "

"From then on, the lecherous can't be lecherous any more, but the timid become more timid. At the same time, they are afraid that the other party will plot against them. They can only hide in the ears of others and listen to gossip and spread rumors. Therefore, since ancient times, there have been two common sayings, one is to listen and the other is to believe. "

When Zhang Yaowu said that, he poured a cup of tea and went on: "there is a legend about the spirit of retribution, and there is a more recent version."

"As you all know, there was a famous eunuch Wei Zhongxian in the late Ming Dynasty. He was called "nine thousand years old" by the Minister of Manchu. Until later, it even developed to build temples for him all over the country, to the same extent as the gods. According to historical records, it is said that he is too arrogant and doesn't know the height of heaven and earth. If he does many evil things, it may be true. But he has to do something to build a temple and a temple. "

"It's said that he got a strange disease at that time. He always felt that there was a villain sitting in his ear. He kept buzzing every day. He found countless famous doctors and grabbed more than 100 prescriptions without any effect. Later, a Taoist said that what nine thousand years old got was not illness at all, but the care of gods. ""Wei Zhongxian asked what happened? The Taoist said, "this immortal lives in your ear, which is commonly known as the" God of retribution ". I can hear the words of all the people in the world, and then select the words related to my sojourn and tell them to me. Because you have a great reputation and are known all over the world, there are more words coming back. If you want to get rid of this disturbance, you don't need to prescribe medicine. As long as you build some temples for him, create yourself as an image, and let the spirit of retribution live in peace and separation, you will be free from the pain. "

"After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian turned around. Moreover, I really heard a lot of Donglin Party members secretly denouncing him and attacking him. However, he did not prevent Zhu Youjian, the new emperor, from killing him! After escaping to Fucheng, Wei Zhongxian once again heard the emperor's order to kill himself. Seeing that the situation was over, he drank and hanged himself. "

"With the death of Wei Zhongxian, a vigorous campaign was launched to wipe out the castration party from the top to the bottom. The temples built for him were destroyed one after another, and the God of retribution was changed from the God believed by people to the monster shouted by everyone. Once losing the power of belief, the helpless God of retribution can only be far away from the Central Plains, and then the exiled prisoners have been reduced to Southeast Asia along the way. "

"But Wei Zhongxian was originally a eunuch, and the spirit of retribution in his body changed greatly. And because many shrines have been overturned, a large number of people have turned from admiration to disgust, the power of belief has been greatly reduced, and the people who have not strong sense of God have already reported to God, so they are possessed by the fire, have sex with each other, and are especially interested in old men. "

"Of course, this story is obviously spread from the Central Plains, and it is also likely to be the rumors maliciously made by the believers who are fighting for the orthodoxy."

"No gossip!" Suddenly, without speaking for a long time, Gao Shenghan, who had been thinking about something, cried out.
