Seven Evil Slips Chapter 14:

The word plate was inserted, and there was a dull buzzing sound inside the box, as if old gears were engaged and rotating. The bottom plate of this layer was split from the middle, hidden into the box wall from all sides, and the other bottom plate rose and stopped. live.

The design of this box is quite similar to that of an elevator, one layer is removed and the other is added.

This layer is slightly deeper, about 10cm deep by visual inspection, and a piece of brocade is stacked inside. On the bottom plate, there are still two squares of about one square centimeter square with sunken kite patterns.

Luo Ren still felt strange that there was only brocade and silk on this floor but no calligraphy boards. will be used.

The magic stick reached out to grab the brocade, Cao Yanhua was nervous: "Mr. God, be careful, it's cloth."

It's been so many years, isn't that piece of cloth already decayed? Will it turn into ashes as soon as the hand touches it, as shown in some adventure films?

Not at all, not only not, when the magic stick was wiped off, I was a little surprised: "It feels new to the touch, it doesn't look like something thousands of years ago."

Sure enough, as soon as I opened a stack, I saw a row of ink characters: The silk script is ruined, it is transcribed according to the same, and left for future generations to see, Zhao characters.

Kido's heart moved: Does this "Zhao" refer to Plum Blossom Yizhao? Back then, after they opened the box, they saw that the original silk script was a bit decayed due to the age, so they copied a copy?

She urged the magic stick: "Look at what is written inside."

The brocade silk was slowly opened, and it was densely packed with words, leaving a perfect circle in the center, with a picture drawn inside, and the inscription read "Seven Stars Kill Bureau".

The Big Dipper in the sky, the Big Dipper map on the ground, and the Big Dipper on the ground. Each star is painted like a villain in an original mural or a pottery painting. There are two circles around each villain, the inner circle is people, to be precise, all of them are dead people, seven, and the outer circle is all kinds of sacrificial animals, such as cows, pigs, sheep and so on.

13,000 blurted out: "Peng Ma Diao Tai!"

He immediately explained: "I'm not saying that this killing game is a horse-carved platform, I mean, it's the same as a horse-carved platform, and it feels like a sacrifice. Isn't ancient sacrifices all about killing pigs and cattle? "

Luo Ren pointed to the dead in the inner circle: "There are also sacrifices, seven."

Human sacrifice? How cruel that would be, Yan Hongsha shivered.

The **** stick felt that it was sparse and ordinary: "In fact, in ancient times, not to mention China, it was the same in the world. It was very common to slaughter living people for sacrifices on the spot. Some people have counted that during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, people were killed because of divination and sacrifices. People, at least more than 14,000——Little Sansan and Xiaoluo are right, the inner and outer circles, human sacrifices plus animal sacrifices, and villains with arms facing the sky, may be the priests in charge.”

Kiyo asked: "Is it possible that it is a fierce Jane?"

She stared at the little figure, it really looked like the slender and out-of-proportion black figure she saw in her dream, whispering "hide" rustlingly.

Luo Ren nodded: "It may also be the so-called 'star king'. Moreover, the seven stars in the sky - seven, the bitmap on the ground - seven, and the human sacrifice - seven, this is also in line with the seven mentioned by Yafeng. The number of seven."

The description on the silk book is a bit obscure, and it may take a long time to read the whole text. This time, the magic stick changed the method. He read out every sentence, read a sentence, and explained a sentence. When he encountered something that he didn't understand, several people discussed it Come on, in this way, after one person reads it, everyone will understand it too.

***

The seven-star killing game tells a big story full of twists and turns.

【Cangjie creates characters, always knotting ropes. Sin can be seen in tortoise shells and animal bones, and it can be seen orally, and hostility arises. 】

This is to say that after Cangjie created characters, people gradually stopped the habit of knotting ropes to record things. The creation of characters allows certain crimes to be engraved on tortoise shells or animal bones in a clear form, and more and more people see and spread these oracle bones, which in legends began to generate hostility.

[King Wu conquered Zhou, Fengming Qishan, in autumn and July, there was a star in the Big Dipper, and there was a vision in the sky, the Big Dipper was shining brightly, and the day and the golden crow were shining. At that time, people were afraid and prayed endlessly. The tortoise shell and animal bones, engraved with seven sins, change after inheriting the vision, and possess the power of gods and spirits. 】

——In the ancient Chinese book "Spring and Autumn", there is a sentence "In the fourteenth year of Duke Wen of Lu, in the seventh month of autumn, there was a star in the Big Dipper". The exact record, that is, in 613 BC, in July, a huge comet swept across the Big Dipper.

However, it is recorded in the Silk Book even earlier, King Wu defeated Zhou, more than 1000 BC: At that time, there was a vision in the sky, and the Big Dipper was so bright that it could be seen even during the day, competing with the sun for glory. People at that time felt "great ominousness" and were afraid, worshiping and praying day after day. It was at that moment that the tortoise shell and animal bones engraved with the earliest seven crimes changed strangely under the influence of the vision, and acquired almost weird power.

【The power of the seven stars, attached to the body, changes people's hearts, devours the good and promotes the evil, strengthens the body, makes it sensitive to action, and even returns to life. 】

This kind of weird power can change people's mind and nature, suppress good and promote evil, and at the same time, it can make the body stronger, move extremely agile, and even bring back the dying.

People in the past, due to the limitations of technology and cognition, could only replace it with "mysterious magic" and "power of gods", but from the current perspective, it is easy to combine it with stars and celestial phenomena.

In the universe, there are all kinds of rays, which contain a large number of high-energy charged particles. In the joke of scientists, they are "like endless showers, pouring on the earth every day."

Studies have shown that there may be a strange relationship between cosmic rays and the changes in human mutant cells. When astronauts enter space, one of the major death threats they face is cosmic rays-it may damage and reorganize DNA, and transform life into an unprecedented Seeing monsters may also lead to unimaginable deaths.

But fortunately, thanks to the earth's magnetic field, it changes the direction of movement of charged particles in cosmic rays, blowing away dust like a hurricane; thanks to the atmosphere, particles collide violently with each other, absorb and disappear; also thanks to the vastness of the universe, many The deadly ray has traveled for hundreds of millions of years, and when it reaches the earth, it is already at the end of its strength, and it is almost scratching the surface.

For most people living on the earth, cosmic rays are more terrifying than disconnection, salary deduction, and being late for work.

Luo Ren guessed that this section should be saying that there was a drastic celestial change in ancient times, which caused the Big Dipper to have a strange reaction, and the evil was born.

For the world, the fierce Jane brought incredible power. The early worship of nature was often based on the unknown, fear, reproduction and avoiding death. It's something only a **** can do.

Worshiping evil originated from this. The first person who was possessed was followed and worshiped because he showed abilities different from ordinary people. At that time, people called them "star kings". "Miraculous", for various purposes, I was fascinated, yearning for it, and then preached it, worshiping Xingjun is like a spark on the ocher yellow earth, the first clue.

However, the living environment at that time could still be called harsh, and the scope of people's activities was limited. This kind of "evil" and following was initially limited to a certain place, a certain valley, or a certain river basin.

Over time, with the expansion of Xingjun's activities and civilization, more and more people will find it scary and ominous—those tortoise shells and animal bones seem to have the power to confuse people's hearts. People have changed their temperaments and become hostile.

I can't let it go, what should I do?

A certain time when worshiping the gods, Wu Zhu prayed to the sky, and finally predicted that the future generations would have great virtues, and put an end to this ominous hostility.

【The sage was born, and he was called Laojun. Riding a green bull out of Hangu Pass, at Yin Xi's request, he wrote the "Tao Te Ching" to warn the world, and drew seven ominous spirits to the seven evil slips, which were sealed by the Phoenix Luan, and it was also used as a gossip star viewing platform, which made Yin Xi empress People watch it and tell them that if the seven stars are always bright, Mozi can be expected. 】

Lao Tzu’s era was in the late Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, the social population increased, cultural exchanges were frequent, and people of insight emerged in endlessly. Different schools were even created. Ushered in the first round of being sealed.

At that time, could it be that under the convening of Lao Tzu, the first batch of five-member teams appeared, going through life and death, traveling thousands of miles, and finally fulfilling their mission?

All these details are submerged in the untestable past.

Lao Tzu believes that "no one in this world can open the seven evil slips", but in his heart, he may also feel that the words cannot be said so absolutely, so he set up a gossip observatory for Yin Xi's descendants to observe and watch. He told me that if one day the seven stars were found to be bright, it would be resolved by the power of the Mo family.

[The Seven Stars kill bureaus, there are three bureaus, namely the sky bureau, the earth bureau, and the human settlement. Those who are in the sky, the Big Dipper in the sky, and the bright sky in the sky. For those who are on the ground, the seven evil spirits are in the position of seven stars, and the seven stars in the observatory are always bright. In the human game, the number of seven is seven, seven rounds of blood sacrifice, after one round, the star king is established, the bloodline is extended, after seven rounds, the killing game is finally completed. 】

The seven-star killing game consists of three parts, heaven, earth, and people. The Tianju refers to the Big Dipper, which has been there for hundreds of millions of years. The local bureau refers to the distribution of the seven evil slips on the land according to the position of the Big Dipper. The size of its distribution determines the geographical influence of the seven star killing bureau.

The human game refers to both the person possessed by the murderous slip and the victim who was killed by it. The number of seven or seven, each of the murderous slips requires seven blood sacrifices. finished.

Those who were possessed by the murderous Jane kept repeating the murders of the year. After committing the Qi Qi cases, the "star king became successful", which was indeed very similar to the "semi-activated" that Yan Hongsha said.

So the ancestor of the cheetah was indeed different from other possessed people he encountered. He was already a "star king" character. "Dai Yan", the cheetah showed a power far beyond that of Yafeng - she was more likely to blend in with the fierce Jane, use her blood to paint the worship scene, get the breath of the fierce Jane's former habitat after it was burned down, and even be killed by the fierce Jane perceives.

【The killing is completed, the spirit of ghosts and spirits is flourishing, like a plague passing through a plague, the power of Xingjun is unlimited, and there are tens of thousands of people under his seat, who are like puppets for driving. 】

The aura of ghosts and spirits here does not refer to strange powers and chaotic spirits. In ancient China, there was a habit of calling plagues and diseases "the aura of ghosts and spirits".

After all the seven-star kills were completed, the person possessed by the fierce Jane was completely "activated" - "the power of the star king is unlimited", which is equivalent to the ability to infect, radiate, and control people's hearts.

In other words, this is like a special plague outbreak. After the initial fermentation and proper layout, seven mobile infection sources are generated-Xing Jun can easily infect and control the next person, and the next person can Infect the next person.

From point to line to large area, viral spread.

No wonder Yafeng said: "In the end, you will be the same as us, everyone is the same."

People can resist visible swords and guns, but how to prevent this kind of ignorant, colorless and tasteless viral infection?

Luo Ren said two words: "Incitement."

In the eyes of ordinary people, the vicious Jane is strange and evil, and they should be avoided for fear, but in the eyes of others, it is simply a rare treasure.

——"Strengthen the body, make it agile, and even return to life", how many people dream of it?

——"Thousands of people under the seat are like puppets for driving", the princes and generals are no more than this, but the princes and generals still have to worry about those ubiquitous rebellions, assassinations, and subversions, but Xingjun does not need it. Tens of millions of people are dead men with no second thoughts.

For careerists and anyone with evil intentions, Ji Jian is the ladder to the top.

Cao Yanhua murmured: "Back then, I must have spent a lot of effort to subdue the fierce Jane... Spring and Autumn and Warring States, wasn't that the time for hegemony? This thing is more sought-after than He Shibi, right? No wonder..."

No wonder this secret has never been widely spread, no wonder Luban’s bureau has set up so carefully——Yin Erma only knows to observe, but doesn’t know the secret. Only after opening the box did I know what the seven-star killing game is.

[The old gentleman also made omissions and miscalculations. After more than a hundred years, the seven stars in the observatory suddenly lit up. 】

More than two hundred years later, the sealed seven fierce slips were opened. At that time, the fourth archway had not yet been seen. The descendants of Yin Xi, who hid the secret, rushed to Mozi according to Lao Tzu's instructions. This shocking secret was discovered at that time. The giant of the Mohist learned.

However, he is not the only one. Lu Ban, another genius-like figure who likes to "joy alone" and "hide privately", has also glimpsed the secrets of heaven through observation of the grand celestial phenomena and various organs of heaven and earth.

Mozi once fought against Lu Ban, and with the benevolent mind of "universal love" and "non-aggression", Lu Ban gave up using ingenuity to help the king of Chu attack the Song Dynasty. Reached a consensus: perhaps it is better to seal and permanently seal such a thing.

After Lao Tzu, Mo Zi and Lu Ban became the second batch of secret-peepers. These two people can be said to have made indelible contributions, because a series of designs such as the black box, Guansi archway, and silver-eyed bats were all from Luban wrote it, and Mozi——the pit found in Caojia Village is enough to show that the organized star-worship slips were defeated by the Mohist family in one fell swoop, and it has never been successful since then.

——Xing Jun fell again and again, which should refer to the fierce Jian being subdued one by one. Thinking about this sentence now, I just feel infinitely happy.

That confrontation must be extremely tragic, "lured into the pit, poured with copper juice, and there is no way out." The Mo family, who has always been kind and kind, has the idea of ​​cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots of the fierce Jian.

However, like Lao Tzu, they are still worried about whether there will be fish that slip through the net. After all, since the fierce slip has been opened, it means that the Phoenix Luan buckle is not so impregnable. It can be extended, and one day the two will merge, and there will be another unexpected **** storm.

So the two cooperated, one ordered the giant to lead the Mo family to overcome the evil Jane and the rest of the evils, and the other set up a clever mechanism to keep this secret and keep it alive when the least people knew about it. They made an arrangement that if the fierce Jane was born again one day, there would be a system and people that could run it, and the operation to subdue the fierce Jane could be started again immediately.

***

Kiyo pondered: "So far, only the ancestors of the cheetahs have been semi-activated?"

Luo Ren shook his head: "Not only, there is one more."

"Who?"

Luo Ren's eyes fell on Cao Yanhua.

Cao Yanhua still smirked at first, and then gradually panicked: "I...me? Brother Luo, this joke can't be played casually."

"It's not you. It was the person who escaped from the pit at the end of the Qin Dynasty and then built and multiplied the Caojia Village. Do you still remember when we asked Yafeng why we chose Qingshan? How did she answer?"

Cao Yanhua frowned.

Remembering, she replied: Because he is different from you, many people in Caojia Village are different.

Luo Ren continued: "The current people in Caojia Village cannot all be descendants of that person, but part of them is that they are born different because they have blood inheritance. This is similar to cheetahs."

It's just that, after the span of more than two thousand generations in Caojia Village, although this power still exists, it is much weaker. Unlike Cheetah, her ancestors became Star Lords only a few generations ago.

Yafeng said: In the end, you will be the same as us, everyone is the same.

She gambled that they would not succeed, as long as they did not succeed, the ancient ritual and killing game were completed, and this invisible disaster would spread quietly.

Yafeng, where does this determination and confidence come from?
