Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 268: Knot note
When I first opened my eyes, my consciousness was still a little bit distracted, and then gradually gathered.
The faces of Shaman and the leader appear above.
"Ah'Xuan, how are you doing?" Ao asked.
Shao Xuan was struggling to sit up, took a cup of water from Shaman and drank it slowly, then said, "OK."
You don't look like "OK". Ao Xindao.
Filled with a few more glasses of water, Shao Xuan felt a little lost of physical strength and recovered a little. Then he simply said what he found in that wooden house. He did not mention his own special ability, only intuition.
Ao sighed with relief, not just being attacked.
"That's it?" Shaman brought the wooden plate containing the gold powder, and the wooden tube containing the gold powder.
"Yes. And what leaf?" Shao Xuan asked.
Shaman and Ao looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I'll call Gui He and ask again, no, I'll go to the cabin in person," Ao said. Gui He will not lie. If there is a leaf painted with gold powder, it will definitely be brought, but it is not.
"I'll check it out too." Shao Xuan stood up. Somewhat weak, but walking was okay.
"I'll go too," Shaman said.
While the three people with the highest status of Flaming Horn Tribe went out at the same time, both the tower and Gui He greeted people to come over nervously to protect them, for fear of an assassin. It's really too unsafe in the tribe recently. Originally also guarded against Ominous Beast, but now I find that people are more troublesome than Ominous Beast.
Coming to the wooden house again, Shao Xuan pointed to the place where he had held the leaves before. The leaf was indeed not seen around.
"Any other people come in?" Ao asked.
Gui He shook his head. "Should not." People living around recently have been busy dividing the line with the two, how could it be possible to enter the room. As for the others who followed him, he believed that no one would hide things.
Shaman walked around the room, then stayed where Shao Xuan collapsed, squatted, stretched out his arm, and brushed it across the ground.
The air flow brought by the palm blows the dust on the ground, but some other dust is not blown.
"That leaf is scattered," Shaman said.
"Lost? When I took it out, the leaves seemed to be freshly picked and green." Shao Xuan was surprised. But Shaman said that it was scattered, that is, it was really scattered.
After returning to the stone house, Shaman left Shao Xuan alone.
"You know, your finger moves before you wake up?" Shaman asked.
"I don't know." Shao Xuan shook his head. At that time, he couldn't even feel that he was a pig face outside, let alone the movement of his fingers.
"You're knotting." Shaman's eyes were meaningful.
"Knot the rope?"
"Hmm." Shaman told the Shao Xuan about the knot history and knot language's previous usage history. These were mentioned in the precious records left by the ancestors. Although Shaman is not particularly clear, it is roughly It can still be inferred from those written records.
"And the leaf you are holding is likely to be a long live leaf. Long live the rumor is not bad." Shaman said again.
"Really live a long live?" Shao Xuan doubted.
"This is not a false statement." Shaman dipped the gold powder still on the wooden plate with existence with a finger, and said to Shao Xuan: "These are also the powder made from the long live tree of the long lived leaf. "
Shao Xuan didn't say a word, Shaman didn't care if he believed it or not, and continued: "It is said that long ago, leaves, crustaceans, etc. were also tools used by ancestors to inherit, and precious plants such as long lived leaves, then It is a messenger that records important inheritance. Shao Xuan, you know, once, the inheritance of Shaman only had language and no text.
Even if text and pictures are popular nowadays, there are still many traditions that do not use graphics. For example, I will pass on some abilities to Gui Ze in the future. Such inheritances will be destroyed even if they are recorded with pictures and texts. They are only existence once. When the receiver absorbs them, there will be no text for others in the world. Naturally, no second person will get that. inherited. "
"Do you mean, that banzai is the inheritance that once belonged to a Shaman?" Shao Xuan asked.
"Yes."
"Between different tribes, because of Totem and Fire Seed, the inheritance should be isolated and excluded, but why am I not excluded?" Shao Xuan said. He glanced at the leaf and fell. And to complete the mission of his messenger, what people call the long-lived leaves that are not rotten, already is scattered.
This Shaman can't answer, he has a lot of questions and he can't give an answer.
"So, I inherited the inheritance from that leaf? I do n’t know what it is. I only saw one hand and tied a rope with a knot, but it kept looping and never finished one. Knot. "Shao Xuan said the picture seen in Sea of Consciousness, hoping to get some tips from Shaman.
Shaman scratched his moustache, both of them had two, but still didn't figure out what it was.
"In this way, Ming ** goes to Gui Ze and asks her to teach you how to tie the rope." Shaman said, "The note of the knot before the text appears, the stone bone veneer after the text appears, the way of inheritance has been Change. The ancient method of tying ropes is, in my opinion, very mysterious. In ancient times, Buddhism, literary deeds, memorabilia, and some other things have used the method of tying ropes.
"Just a few knots can represent so many things?" Shao Xuan said. But as soon as he said this, he couldn't wait to slap himself.
Stupid! Of course, things related to the Shaman profession cannot of course be based on theory. Even if they draw an egg, you can't think that it is really an egg, not to mention a few ropes and knots.
I originally thought that this is the case, already is ancient, but I didn't expect that there are more ancient things.
However, Shao Xuan is really interested in knotting notes. He wants to figure out what kind of message the leaf wants to convey. The letter used Vive Lavender. How precious is the thing passed on it?
The next day, Shao Xuan went to the drugstore at Gui Ze.
Things Shaman already told Gui Ze, seeing Shao Xuan, Gui Ze put down the matter at hand, pointing to some animal skin rolls on the wooden table next to it, "That's all for you from Shaman."
Shao Xuan unzipped the animal skin volume and looked at it. The above are all pictures of ropes and knots, and there are also text notes next to it. The animal skin volume is still new. It is only a few years before the production. It should be when Gui Ze learns knot language. Shaman was written from the ancient books of the ancestors.
Gui Ze held some straw ropes again. "These are all made by me last winter. You can use this to try, this is convenient."
"Thank you, let me make another straw rope at that time, and I will help." Shao Xuan pulled out a straw rope and looked at it. These straw ropes are relatively smooth, without so many burrs, and each one is about the same length as the baby's pinky finger, and the toughness is also very suitable.
Gui Ze sits down, pulls out a straw rope, and then compares each picture on the animal skin roll to tell Shao Xuan how to knot and what kind of knot represents what it means. Sometimes, the knots that look very similar have very different meanings. This is probably the way of knotting that was used to convey hidden information.
Gui Ze teaches Shao Xuan, all are some very simple knots, the same as drawn on the animal skin volume. When all the animal skin volumes are completed, Shao Xuan can type a sentence on the rope.
Because it is not too difficult, Shao Xuan has a good memory. After learning some skills, I let Gui Ze do her business. There are still many medicines to be handled in the pharmacy. He watched here slowly, and tried it step by step.
Gui Ze sees that Shao Xuan is really going well, so he goes back to continue to do the medicine.
The crocodile turtle lying on the door moved his heavy body, changed places, closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun.
A little bit of time has passed, and the animal skin volume on the left side of the Shao Xuan hand is getting less and less. After finally trying everything recorded in it, Shao Xuan can roughly understand some simple knot language. As for the more complicated, Shaman was not given. Perhaps there are not many records about the knotted knots passed down from the tribe. Shaman can tell him limited.
There are still many straw ropes brought by Gui Ze. Shao Xuan thought about it and observed the line drawing in his mind. Soon, he entered that state again and watched the pair of hand knots that appeared.
I did n’t understand anything last time. This time, Shao Xuan is a little bit basic, but gradually, Shao Xuan realized that this is different from those knot language he just learned. Maybe it ’s about to express another Kind of meaning.
According to Shaman, the method of knotting rope was used in various aspects in older times. One is not feasible. Is there any other? There are some knots, knots, knots, etc. Since it is not like a normal record, can it be a knot or something?
Shao Xuan continued to observe the movements of the hands, and when he broke away from that state, he moved his neck with a bit of fatigue, feeling that his hands were not right. Looking down, his fingers were tied by the straw rope.
I do n’t know how to hit it. A straw rope is tied to all ten fingers. Shao Xuan wants to untie it. For a while, I do n’t know where to start. I can only lift the straw rope from the fingers. .
Wait until all the straw ropes on your hands are taken down, and the straw ropes already are wrapped in a ball. The solution cannot be unlocked. Shao Xuan will tie the straw ropes into a big knot and throw them to the snapping turtle.
The crocodile turtle basking in the sun slowly opened its eyes and saw a bunch of straw ropes next to it. It opened its mouth to bite into the mouth and chewed slowly.
Shao Xuan slowed down, recalling the movements of the hands that I just saw, and pulled a straw rope to continue.
Failed!
Failed again!
Fail again!
...
A bunch of straw ropes are twisted into an indissoluble clump of grass and thrown to the snapping turtle. Regardless of the knotting speed of Shao Xuan, it still maintains the slow and original speed of chewing the straw rope. Therefore, when the speed of Shao Xuan is getting faster, there are more and more chaotic grasses next to snapping turtles.
The Gui Ze that is being used for medicine often glances over Shao Xuan from time to time, thinking, "Isn't Shao Xuan very smart?" How can I tie my fingers with a knot?
Wait until Shao Xuan uses the straw rope next to his hand so that there are only a dozen or so strands left.
After wiping off the sweat on his face, Shao Xuan walked out of the drugstore, and continued tomorrow, he would not believe what was delivered by the long lived leaf as a messenger, and could only play a mess of grass!
