Seven Evil Slips Chapter 21:

Almost at the same time, the two remembered the story described in the bamboo slip photos sent by the **** stick.

Yin Xi asked: What should we do if the seven stars are always bright?

Lao Tzu pondered for a long time, and replied, a great son can be expected.

Yin Xi asked again: Who is Juzi?

Lao Tzu replied: I don’t know either.

It is indeed impossible for Lao Tzu to know, because according to the calculation of the age, Mozi, the first great son of the Mo family, was born after Lao Tzu passed away.

So, the "Ju Zi Ling, kill" that appeared in front of me is very interesting.

Luo Ren came over, squatted down*, took Kiyo's flashlight, and read the content described in seal characters word by word. The content of this paragraph is actually not long, and the description is also simple. Four times, Juzi ordered to kill, on the banks of the sea, on the top of the mountains, in the evil place of the loess, Xingjun fell again and again, ten people of my generation ended up here, all were lured into the pit, poured copper juice on the top, and there was no way out.

It is like a last pen, even if it is read more than a thousand years later, the meaning of sorrow and grief still lingers in the place where the ax chiseled the stone.

This book must have been carved before the tunnel leading to the outside was dug through.

Luo Renla Muyo: "Come here, help me."

He removed the stacked corpses one by one, and piled them up again on the side. Every time he removed one, he looked for the bronze waist tags on the corpses. There were nine corpses and nine waist tags, and he handed them all to Kiyo.

According to the instructions, Kiyo turned all the nine waist cards to the side with characters, identified them carefully, and divided them into four groups according to the characters.

The character "dao" of oracle bone, one piece; the character "water", one piece; the character "mouth", one piece; the remaining six pieces are all the same character.

The shape of the character is like a mountain, and Luo Ren recognized it as the character "earth" in oracle bone inscriptions.

Kiyo took a deep breath: "The fifth evil sword, in short, is soil?"

Luo Ren nodded: "It's not far away from ten. In ancient times, soil was killed in the same pit, buried alive, and sealed together."

In the seal script, it is said that "ten people of my generation have come to a dead end here", and "killed" is used instead of "killed", which shows that none of these people died at that time.

Kiyo sighed a little: "It is said that Juzi is the leader of the Mo family, and Juzi ordered to kill them. Is it the Mo family who dealt with these people? I heard that the Mo family values ​​benevolence rather than offense. How could they have the heart to use such cruel methods? "

Luo Ren already understood a little bit in his heart: "It depends on who we are dealing with."

He changed the subject: "In Nantian, on the night of Teng Ma Diaotai, there was a sentence in 13,000 that has always left a deep impression on me. Later, the magic stick also heard similar news from Yin Erma."

At that time, Wan San looked at the outline of the Pengma carving platform and murmured: "This is really like an altar in ancient times."

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and pointed at the large area of ​​rice grains bent in the wind: "Does it look like you are worshiping? There is another priest standing on the platform, chanting a few words..."

The magic stick also conveyed a similar meaning, saying that in primitive society, due to the extremely low social productivity, human beings have the most primitive nature worship, such as worshiping wind, thunder, electricity, etc. Among them, the most An important one is star worship.

The seven evils are restrained briefly by the phoenix luan buckle. The phoenix, phoenix, and luan are auspicious black birds used as totems, representing the original worship of black birds.

Luo Ren took Mudai and sat down on the spot: "In ancient Chinese myths, Hou Yi shot the sun, and what he shot down was a three-legged **** crow, similar to the bird of the phoenix, and the seven fierce slips are related to the Big Dipper. The star dominates the night, and the phoenix represents the day. Comparing the two, it is indeed like a check and balance of two forces. Yin Xi asked Lao Tzu what to do if the seven stars are always bright, and the seven stars are always bright, which sounds like the night will never leave. "

Kiyo understood: "I answered that Juzi can be expected, because he foresees that the power of the Mohist school will be able to fight against the fierce Jane?"

Luo Ren nodded, pointing to the waist badge on the ground: "Put these things on your body, and put them in your arms after death. It can be seen that these are of great significance to them. These people should have nothing to do with Juzi or the Mohists. If If I guessed correctly, there were some people who followed Ji Jian at that time."

Follow the fierce Jane? Mudai found it unbelievable, even in Nantian, those people who were influenced by Xiang Silan were only forced to do so, who would take the initiative to follow?

Luo Ren explained: "In the West, there is worship of God, and there is worship of the devil. There is an extreme view that religion originates from the fear of the human heart. Following the devil is not a sincere support and love, but I am afraid that the devil will bring bad luck to me."

Kiyo said: "This is like those traitors during the Anti-Japanese War?"

Luo Ren wanted to laugh, her metaphor is a bit nondescript, but after careful consideration, it does have some meaning.

He said: "Plainly speaking, there were people who worshiped Jane at that time, and they may have formed a whole of their own and were well-organized."

Kiyo asked: "What is the purpose?"

Luo Ren replied: "The seven stars are always bright."

The ever-bright seven stars are just a symbolic statement, as for what kind of situation it represents, he hasn't figured it out yet.

Luo Ren took out the dagger, motioned for Kiyo to help him illuminate, and roughly sketched a map of the country on the ground.

Said: "I didn't think about it at first, but just now, I suddenly recalled that the magic stick said that on the eight trigrams star observatory, there were seven stars at first, then four were dimmed, and the remaining three were extremely bright. "

He pointed down with the tip of his knife, and made a cross in the lower left corner of the map, near Beihai, Guangxi. Kiyo said, "Wuzhu Village."

Luo Ren added: "By the sea."

When he mentioned it, Kiyo's mind suddenly burst into flames: "You mean..."

Luo Ren nodded with a smile, moved the tip of the knife upwards, and made a cross near Qiangui: "Four villages, the top of the mountain."

Kiyo breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Ren glanced at her, the tip of the knife slid to the northwest, this time, he did not speak, and waited for her to speak.

Kiyo is very familiar with this place.

"Xiaoshang River... where the loess is evil?"

The Xiaoshang River is located in the Gobi Desert. When the hurricane hits, the sky is full of yellow sand. In the eyes of the ancients, isn't it a place where the loess is completely evil?

She was a little dazed: "So, we are not..."

Luo Ren nodded.

Lao Tzu replied to Yin Xi that no one could open the fierce slips. This is not accurate. According to the information obtained here, the fierce slips have been opened hundreds of years after Lao Tzu’s death. Moreover, the places where they are distributed overlap quite a bit with the places they have been to.

If the seven evil slips indeed correspond to the Big Dipper, then it seems logical that the people who followed the evil slips in ancient times called the evil slips "Xing Jun", and "Xing Jun fell" means that the evil slips were accepted.

Therefore, the so-called "Phoenix Squad" was not the first batch of people to deal with the fierce Jian at all. The people under Juzi's subordinates of the Mo family back then did similar things to them.

The only difference is that the first comers not only dealt with the fierce Jane, but also those who followed the fierce Jane.

Luo Ren raised his head again and looked at the so-called dome poured with copper juice. In Caojia Village, he had never heard of this historic site on the ground, and according to the previous geographical location outside, there should be a place on top of this dome. Still a mountain.

The greatest possibility is that in the long years after the dome was poured, the surrounding mountains continued to collapse and mudslides, forcibly forming another mountain on top of the dome.

If the sinister slip here is simply the word "earth", then the people under Juzi back then could be said to have wiped out the roots with an eye for an eye--Luo Ren even felt that maybe it was because of the "sudden change of the situation at that time that Juzi The method of "killing with sub-orders" made the organization of those who worshiped the murderer slump and even gradually disappeared.

However... it is not possible to be so optimistic.

The tunnel was dug through, and one person escaped.

Luo Ren suddenly had a bold hypothesis.

He looked at Muyo, and lowered his voice a lot: "According to the population distribution at the beginning of the Qin and Han Dynasties, there are hardly any people in such a mountainous village."

Although Kiyo hasn't figured it out yet, he also knows that his meaning must be incomplete: "So?"

So, after that person escaped, did he not go far at all, and his comrades died here? Will he wait for the limelight to pass and build a hut on the spot? Wouldn't it start with him?

***

Today is the wedding day, the first day. Qingshan pushed the door out, the first thing he did was to look up at the sky.

The drizzle is endless.

Does it feel bad luck, frowning: "It's raining again!"

In the front yard, many villagers came to help, and someone corrected him: "It's a good day when it rains, and it's all about wealth and luck!"

Chinese people always have such a natural self-deception and taboo about many things, and when the taboo really comes, they can often justify it, for example, it is unlucky to break the rice bowl in the New Year. .

Qingshan scratched his head, giggled dryly, raised his eyes, and Aunt Seven came all the way with a towel and splashed mud spots on her trouser legs.

Qingshan's parents were sick and passed away in the past few years, and they depended on the older generation in the village for major matters of marriage, and Aunt Seven played the role of mother.

Tell him hastily: "I've done the calculation with the two blind men. Today is the auspicious day. The auspicious time cannot exceed 12 noon. Half an hour earlier, everyone in the village will get the drying yard, and the bride's family will sit at the same table." ..."

Speaking of this, I still couldn't help complaining: "You said she was an orphan, I also know, why didn't even a relative come here? There are two little sisters here, and they only arrived last night. Why don't you ask for leave? Please, I’m going to leave today after having a drink—it’s going to be a three-day banquet.”

Qingshan laughed with him: "Yafeng's life is bitter..."

"Bah, bah, bah, it's a happy day, what do you mean by fate," Aunt Seven has always been decisive, "I've already arranged for those who come from other villages and those who come back from working outside to sit at the table of their natal family. Jin Hua is in charge of that table."

Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly thought of something: "Then please ask for a memorial tablet..."

It is a rule in the village to ask for a memorial tablet. The tablet is kept by the oldest person in the village. In case of death, the younger person will replace it. Whenever there is a marriage, the youngest child in the village will go to the old man's house early in the morning Please ask for a memorial tablet, and when you arrive, you must be led by the adults, and hold the red cloth-covered tablet around the village. Every time you pass a house, you must say auspicious words, such as a hundred years of marriage and an early birth of a baby.

At the wedding ceremony, apart from breaking up with each other's parents, the husband and wife also pay homage to the memorial tablet.

No one can tell what the tablet is, but no one can say that Chou Yinmao is tall. All he knows is that without this tablet, this village would not exist.

Seventh Aunt let him relax: "It's all arranged. When the gong sounds, it will start to circle the village. Get the red envelopes ready. The little boy will give you money for walking around like this."

…

Just after ten o'clock, the gong sounded for the first time, and the gong wrapped in red cloth hit the heart of the gong. Can hear clearly.

Yan Hongsha, who had just entered the village, heard it. Not only did she hear it, she was caught off guard, and almost staggered in fright.

But she quickly regained her composure, clamped her briefcase tightly, adjusted her black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, tugged at her baggy black suit, and moved a little because she was walking very fast in wedge heels. Uncomfortable ankles.

All of the above are props that I drove into the city temporarily last night to buy.

Take a long breath and ask yourself to be calm.

You know, she is now... an insurance practitioner.
