There was a place called Ji Yuan in the north of the Celestial Empire, and there was a Yu Village in Ji Bei County. There was a wide pond in the south of Yu Village. This pond was usually lush with reeds, the surface of the water was vast, and it was rich in fish and prawns. It could be considered an excellent scenery in Ji Plain. In the depths of the reed pond, there was a deep pool of green water. Legend had it that an old mussel lived in the pool. This old mussel had cultivated in the pool for many years, as if it had possessed an immortal body. Its body was actually as big as a boat. Every year during the holidays, the people of Yu Village would come to the edge of the reed pond to burn incense and worship it. The days were still peaceful. If it lost its manners, once it got angry, the reed pond would be stormy and turbulent, and huge waves would surge into the sky, stirring up the ten villages and eight miles.

One day, the sun was shining brightly and the spring breeze was warm. The old mussel in the pond seemed to be unable to stand the loneliness. It climbed to the shore and opened its mouth to lie on the beach to bask in the sun. Coincidentally, it was seen by the daughter-in-law of the Yu family who had just married. At this moment, his daughter-in-law was washing clothes by the pond. She saw the huge old clam and thought it was a boat, so she walked over curiously. When the mussel saw the beautiful woman, it seemed to have a mind of its own. A cudgel suddenly appeared from the pink mussel meat, which looked like a man's long penis. The beautiful woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground. In a daze, she felt a claw unbuttoning her dress and then reaching out to touch her lower body, wanting to molest her. The daughter-in-law cried out in horror. After screaming, she suddenly heard a strong wind blowing in the reed pond, followed by a violent wave hitting the shore, and a thunderstorm suddenly came. The beautiful woman opened her eyes. The old mussel had already closed its double shells and sunk into the water. There was a loud rumble in the air, and a huge dragon descended from the sky. The dragon hovered above the pond for a moment, then stretched out a claw and stuck it into the water. It picked up the old clam that had just sunk into the water and then flew up. It seemed to be several feet high. The dragon swung its tail and threw the old clam to the ground. The old mussel fell to the ground and seemed to be in extreme pain. It bared its teeth and rolled over, then waddled into the pond. Suddenly, the rain passed and the sky cleared. The people of the village gathered by the reed pond and picked up the beautiful woman who had fainted from shock. The beautiful woman became pregnant and gave birth to a boy a year later.

The boy was extremely smart and had a photographic memory. He had succeeded in the imperial examinations one after another. After the Fall Quarter Examinations, the officials came to report the good news that he had surpassed Tanhua. However, Tanhua was arrogant and did not like to be welcomed in the palace. The officials in the Ministry of Official Personnel did not like her and did not use her again and again. He had been idle in the palace for several years. Later, Nurhachi, a local in Jianzhou in the northeast, rose up and established Houjin. He wanted to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court repeatedly sent people to appease him, but it did not work. Later, Wei Zhongxian, who was in charge of the power of the court, was jealous of the virtuous and jealous of the talented. They wanted to push this talented scholar out of the palace, but there was nothing they could do. Taking advantage of the unrest in Liaodong, he suggested to the Emperor to send him to appease Liaodong. Who knew that this talented scholar would see that Nurhachi's soldiers were strong and his morale was high. It was not something that the Ming Dynasty soldiers could destroy. As a result, he stayed in Hetuala and did not return. Later on, he could not resist Nurhachi, who loved talent as much as his life, inviting him to a banquet every three days and five days, showing his utmost respect. This flower exploring scholar chatted with Nurhachi every day, discussing the past and the present. Gradually, he felt admiration for him. He thought that after he entered the court, Wei Zhongxian and his gang would reject him and attack him. Let alone meeting the Emperor to discuss state affairs, he would not even have the chance to speak when the ministers were discussing. In this place, the ruler of a country was actually treated as a distinguished guest. Where could one find such a wise ruler? Later on, he used the Book of Changes and Shao Zi's Divine Numerology he learned when he was young to deduce the historical fate of the Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty.! Gradually, he had the intention to leave the Ming Dynasty and became a high adviser in the Houjin Palace. Nurhachi's subordinates respectfully called him prime minister. This was a story for the future.

During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor thought that the world was at peace and that it was a golden age, so he ordered the compilation of the Four Treasuries Quanshu and appointed Ji Xiaolan as the chief editor to review the manuscripts. On this day, Ji Xiaolan walked into the study room and was about to review the manuscript when she found a historical record that recorded the legendary story of the old clam in the reed pond of Yu Village in Jibei County. After reading it, he thought that it was indecent for the beautiful woman's clothes to be stripped and her lower body to be touched. He actually used a red pen to cut off this historical data.

However, the strange things in the world would never cease to exist because of a red pen from an official. It was said that in the winter of the seventh year of Xianfeng, a thick layer of ice formed in the reed pond south of Yu Village. It was also a sunny day. The old clam broke out of the ice from the southwest of the reed pond. The ice in the reed pond was broken by it and piled up on the bank of the reed pond. From afar, it looked like white snow. In the evening, dark clouds covered the sky and heavy snow fell. The next day, when people went to watch, the old mussel had already disappeared.

At that time, the prefect of Ji Yuan felt that this matter was too strange and reported it to the court historian. This historian was very stubborn. When he saw Ji Xiaolan's red pen cross over this matter, he was actually angry. Not only did he not record it, but he also listed it in the banned book series. From then on, this matter became a forbidden topic. This strange story was hidden and never seen again.

Many years later, a wandering monk from the south came here. He looked at the vast water surface in the pond and the dense reeds, and recited with emotion," The old man has gone on a yellow crane, and there is no Yellow Crane Tower here." When an old scholar of the Yu Village heard this poem, he felt that the visitor was not friendly. He went forward to consult the feng shui of this place. The two of them chatted and talked about the battle of the dragon clam. The wandering monk smiled and explained that the old clam was sent by the Dragon King of the East Sea to this pool to raise pearls. After the pearl is formed, the old clam should present the pearl to the Dragon Palace. Because he lived in the pool, he often peeped at beautiful women and beautiful girls bathing in the pool. Gradually, he coveted the beauty of the world and wanted to hide the pearls. If there was a chance, he would give it to beautiful girls and beautiful women to fulfill his selfish desires. The Dragon King knew that he had evil intentions, so he sent the Crown Prince to take the pearl, which led to a big battle. However, did the Dragon Prince take the pearl? Where did the old mussel go? Did the beautiful woman's pregnancy have the aura of an immortal or ghost? What was the ultimate fate of this child? He didn't say it directly, but pointed at the Yu Family Mausoleum behind the Yu Family Residence. He said: A hundred years later, the descendants of the Yu family will be extraordinary people!

In the 21st century, China was undergoing reform and opening up. The country was prosperous and peaceful. There was a strange person in the Yu family. Although this person entered the officialdom, it was not smooth sailing. His life of ups and downs, ups and downs, and thorns seemed to be a near-perfect interpretation of this somewhat sinister historical interest. Thus, through a novel, this imprisoned piece of interesting history not only saw the light of day, but it was also continued and loaded into the popular online media of the century.
