During the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Fang of the State of Wei was emperor, King Zhou Nan of Zhongshan served as a county commander in Xiangyi.
One day, he was alone in the house, overhearing the sound of creaking, following the prestige, there was a rat hole in the wall, and a mouse probed his brain and was about to come out.
Wang Zhounan was very strange: This rat is so bold, someone in the house dares to come out?
The rat had now drilled out of the hole and had a huge body. Two bean-grain-like eyes stared at Wang Zhounan and said, "Zhou Nan, you will die in three days!" ”
Wang Zhounan did not move at all, and there was no reaction. The rat rolled his eyes and burrowed back into the hole.
Three days soon arrived, and early this morning, Wang Zhounan was sitting alone in the room again.
To say that the ancients especially loved to take the image of disaster and auspiciousness seriously, such as the beast spitting out words, thinking that this is an important signal sent by the heavens, it is really rare for someone like Wang Zhounan to be extremely calm about the vision.
After a while, the sound of the rats sounded again, and the rats came out of the hole again.
It was very different from the first time, last time it was naked (the true appearance of the beast), and today it is dressed as a human, dressed up, and wearing a crown hat neatly on the head, as if it were going to attend Wang Zhounan's funeral.
The rat saw Wang Zhounan sitting calmly and shouted, "Zhou Nan, you are going to die at noon today!" ”
But Wang Zhounan was still the same as the last time, still not saying a word. The mouse finished speaking and returned to the hole very boringly. In the blink of an eye, it was almost noon, and Wang Zhounan was still sitting there looking at writing and writing.
When noon came, the sound of the rats sounded again, and the rat still drilled out of the hole in the same dress as before. It stared at Wang Zhounan for half a day and said in a miserable voice, "Zhou Nan, Zhou Nan, I have said so many words, why don't you reply?" you...... You..." He said, and his body fell to the ground, convulsing and foaming.
Wang Zhounan stood up and walked over to the big rat. I saw that the coat of the big rat was long gone, motionless and dead.
Wang Zhounan said in his heart, how do you make me a dumb man talk?
This is a strange story in "Search for God", the last sentence is that I made a joke, Wang Zhounan is not dumb, he just can hold his breath and not open his mouth.
As the saying goes: it is not strange to see the strange, but the strange is self-defeating. The reason why Wang Zhounan was safe and sound was better than that he was not moved by strange and strange things.
So, what is this strange myth about? I think it is related to the turmoil in the imperial court in the Three Kingdoms era and the constant change of royal power. There is an idiom called "Mu Monkey and Crown", which describes the villain to get power, just like the monkey pretending to put on the crown of a person, and the mouse in this story who wears a crown and spits out people's words should also be a similar metaphor, when the Han Room died at the beginning of the han dynasty, the world was in turmoil, from the young people to the big traitors and evildoers have the ambition to usurp the throne, from time to time staged a tragedy of political inversion, and the sages who protect themselves have to remain silent, just like the protagonist of this story, Wang Zhounan.
