Chapter 129: Flowing Water (4) The Great Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed for thousands of years. …
The last time the box was opened was when Goddess Mo was a child, with the help of the previous Goddess.
Therefore, she looked at the 20 keys over and over again, and compared them with the keyholes on the boxes 10 times, fearing that she would open the wrong box and the deadly poison prepared by the ancestors would be released.
Wang Xue interrupted her: "Grandma Mo, my sister Jing is a professional in mechanical engineering, and she is definitely good at unlocking."
"?? Is there anything else she is not professional in?" Goddess Mo did not want to be slapped in the face again, so she handed over the key directly. Now if they told her that Ye Mo was a descendant of King Zhou of Shang, she would believe it.
At this time, Ye Mo had used his mental power to scan all 20 ebony boxes.
The secret compartments of each machine box are in different positions with different lock cores, but the principle is that they are all in eight directions: rest, life, injury, stop, scene, death, surprise, and opening. Except for one life, all others are deadlocks.
It is not difficult to crack by force, but the only way to crack it completely without damage is to imitate the key with mental power, or the key.
In the eyes of Goddess Mo, after Ye Mo took the key, he came to the machine box and seemed to randomly select a shrimp tail silver key from the temporary string, insert it into the round keyhole, and twist it lightly.
Click, the wooden box opened, so simple.
Open the lid of the box, there is a whole square stone seal in the middle of the box, and a large number of tortoise oracle bones are scattered around it. There is a kind of hieroglyphics engraved on the stone seal and oracle bones.
This is the Shui language, the only two pictographic characters in the world that have been preserved to this day, the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage, between bronze inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions, an ancient language that has been handed down from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to this day.
Mo Shenpo has learned some Shui characters, but looking at the expressions of Ye Mo and Wang Xue, she knows that they don't need her help to translate at all. Which mountain did these two girls jump out of?
Ye Mo asked Wang Xue: "Do you think it looks familiar?"
Wang Xue looked closely and her hands were reflexively sore because she had copied it in the Spring and Autumn copy no less than a hundred times: "'Gen is a mountain, and the mountains above and below are called Lianshan. Clouds come out of the mountains'. This is the "Lianshan Yi" in the Book of Changes. The Han people lost it for thousands of years, and it ended up in the Shui people."
The content on the stone print is "Lianshan Yi", and the words on the turtle oracle bones are the reading notes of the ghost teacher.
Ye Mo could tell from his study notes that the ghost teachers of the water tribe tended to study the balance of yin and yang and preserve aura, and only studied the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth without going into depth.
Wang Xue easily brought a set of rosewood tables and chairs from downstairs and asked Mo Shenpo to sit down. Seeing Sister Jing's appearance, they had been watching for at least two hours.
Mo Shenpo rubbed her eyes: "Can you bring the shoe basket up with you? My shoes are not finished yet."
Wang Xue:
"..."
Maybe she can learn embroidery. It feels interesting to kill the enemy with flying needles!
...
Continue to unpack.
The second to eighth boxes contain the daily life of the village, including funerals, sacrifices, marriages, construction, travel, occupying roots, festivals, production, etc., with many prohibitions.
In order to protect the Yin land, every villager has basic rules to strictly abide by throughout his life.
Even unique basic theories have been created for this purpose, such as the Nine Stars, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Sun, the Moon, the Five Stars, the Yin and Yang Five Elements, the Sixty Jiazi, the Four Seasons and Five Directions, the Seven Yuan Calendar, etc.
Every professional research to the extreme should not be underestimated. By studying these theories of the Water-Permeating Clan, Ye Mo can save 8% to 35% of the spiritual energy resources at work, which is really amazing.
More research is needed.
In addition to tortoise shells and stone carvings, paper books appeared in the ninth box to the fifteenth box. The contents inside are all methods of warding off evil spirits and exorcising ghosts. The latest records are in the Ming Dynasty.
After the Ming Dynasty, the dead will no longer cause harm to humans, and even cannot take shape as the spiritual energy disappears.
Peach wood, copper coins, lightning-struck wood, chicken blood vine, cinnabar, red sandalwood, alcohol, etc. are all engraved evil items, which record the process of exorcising evil spirits and some cases. This is very useful for the current cottages.
In fact, it is not only useful for cottages, but also for the current spiritual world. If the national team has these data, they don’t need to waste points to buy crystal cores or spiritual stones in the hospital.
In this world, there are many underworld props.
As for double songs, single songs, root songs, tune songs, question songs, copper drums, big leather drums, Lusheng, suona, huqin, etc., these materials can be given to Wang Xue, so that she can truly enter the lobby of folk music.
...
When the last wooden box was opened, the system voice sounded:
[Congratulations to the survivor Wang Xueqin for finding the "Water Book" and completing the side quest 1, physical attribute +1, free point attribute +2. ]
[Congratulations to the survivor Ye Mo for assisting Wang Xueqin in finding the "Water Book" and completing the side quest 1, physical attribute +1, free point attribute +1. ]
Ye Mo and Wang Xue looked at each other.
They should be in the right direction. The real copy is simpler than imagined. After comparing the numbers, they found that the triggering tasker got more free point attributes than the assisting tasker.
Continue to study.
The remaining boxes are all black ghost magic, not only with spells and operation methods for releasing ghosts, collecting ghosts, and rejecting ghosts, but also steps for making Yin land and living sacrifices, among which there are arrangements recorded in the golden nan Yin sinking wood.
Ye Mo knew the cruelty of the Shang Dynasty.
80% of the existing oracle bones of the Shang Dynasty are related to black witchcraft, and the word "sacrifice" is indispensable. Sacrifices are basically living sacrifices, such as killing babies to protect the house, offering human heads to ancestors, offering blood sacrifices, and dividing corpses for sacrifice .
The above have nothing to do with Daji, who conquered the city and the country, but are banquet programs for the nobles of the Shang Dynasty.
The early days of the water tribe ghost master were also quite dark. The core of this Yindi mountain village was not more than a hundred golden nanmu trees, but the living sacrifices at the beginning, covering the entire mountain.
When the backlash appeared, the water tribe ghost master thousands of years ago did living sacrifices, so in the early records, there were hundreds of scattered living sacrifices in black witchcraft, using evil to replenish evil.
According to records, thousands of years ago, due to the pursuit of the descendants of the Shang Dynasty by the Zhou Dynasty, they did not dare to kill people in a big way. Moreover, those who fled to the Baiyue area were quite capable. Therefore, the living sacrifices for the construction of the village were not massacres, but the burial of their own people.
As the spiritual energy dissipated, the backlash of witchcraft appeared less and less, and the role of living sacrifices became less and less.
Later ghost masters no longer needed to use living sacrifices. All their witchcraft was about how to find treasures in the world to retain the Yin energy. More than a hundred golden nanmu trees appeared for this reason.
But now that the spiritual energy has revived, the backlash of witchcraft has appeared again.
Fortunately, it was discovered early. If Wang Xue didn't live here, as the survivors broke into more and more copies, the undead would become stronger due to the Yin Qi, and this place might change from a Yin land to a dead land.
Miao Zhu Xiangxi may have a branch, but the inheritance of the water tribe's ghost arts is not certain. I haven't heard of other water villages having thousand-year-old Yin sunken wood.
Ye Mo can't save the village by offering sacrifices, so he can only think of a way to cancel the Yin land rule of this village, but the backlash of the sacrifices will inevitably affect the people in the village.
After hearing this information, Goddess Mo looked very calm: "Miao Zhu is also a black witchcraft. The Zhu masters have to endure the pain of the poison for many years. This is the price. This is fair."
Only by destroying the Yin Land can their village be reborn. The newborns in the future will no longer have to bear the sins of their ancestors or be confined to this world in the mountains, and move towards a free future.
"The Great Zhou has been destroyed for thousands of years."
The Shui people are actually trapped by themselves, and so are the Miao people. The Xia Dynasty has been destroyed for even longer. They can no longer live in a nest, and their descendants should also go to other places to take a look.
Wang Xue:
"..."
Her surname is Wang, not Wang!
…
Although the goal has been set, the specific operation involves five boxes of text, and it has to be done step by step. Moreover, it is a matter for the whole mountain. There is also a "Happy Drifting Trend" from the lower half of the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. There are many foreign tourists and local operators, and the details need to be considered in the long run.
It is lunch time now.
The head of the Miao village personally invited Mo Shenpo and the two guests to have dinner. Obviously, Mo Shenpo is not the only one in the village who knows the truth. The head of the village and the elders in the village all know about this.
And Mo Shenpo's attitude represents their attitude.
Wang Xue exhaled a breath of depression and raised her thumb. This is an Oscar Water Miao Village, and all the people are Oscar winners.
The place where they ate was not a high-stilt building of any family, but the only flower bridge in the mountain village.
This flower bridge is built at the same height as the stilt house where the witch lives. It is made of wood and crosses two streams. The top of the bridge is covered with green tiles to protect against wind and rain. There are railings, benches, towers, pavilions, etc. on the bridge.
Apart from other things, the view from the bridge is very good, and it feels like a view of the mountains.
Here you can clearly see the hardworking villagers planting, both men and women, carrying two buckets full of water on a shoulder pole, going up and down the steep and wet stairs to water the land. It is frightening to watch them, fearing that they will fall, after all, there is a cliff on one side.
Now Wang Xue no longer went to see it. When she and Ye Mo arrived at the flower bridge, dozens of children in the village were playing. A familiar little girl invited Wang Xue to play with them.
Obviously, Wang Xue had already become one with them.
The games played by the children in the village were very simple. They used sorghum sandbags made of colorful cloth, chicken feather shuttlecocks, a wooden gun, a paper box... The joy of childhood was very classic.
Wang Xue initially judged that the mountain village was poor. First, the terrain here was too remote. It took two or three hours to get down the mountain. Second, the villagers worked very hard in spring planting. The fields were far away from the stream.
The third was the education in the village.
Many children here need to walk for half a day to go to a mountain primary school or a mountain middle school. They basically only go to junior high school and then go back to the village to work on the farm.
For this reason, Wang Xue planned to sponsor a few students with excellent grades to help them go out of the mountains to go to college and see the wonderful world outside, or to pay for a road to sell mountain products in the mountains. Later, the village chief declined in a very "simple" way.
The result
- it turns out that the village is much richer than her.
"Huh!" Wang Xue childishly turned her head to the side, not looking at those real friends.
She doesn't play with deceptive children!
