Chapter 1044: Stolen for the Fifth Time
Back at the post house, Yan Saburo put down the bookcase. The cat jumped out and took two steps before the boy picked it up and put it on the table.
He leaned on the table and looked at her: "What did you say?"
The half-hour nap was comfortable, and Chitose was still a little confused: "Who?"
"Yan Tao. ”
"Hmm......" she recalled, "asked me where I was from, and took me to the stone cellar to see the collection of Duanmu Jing." Oh yes, did you know that Duanmu Jing actually has a soul stone?"
"He took you to the stone cellar?" Yan Saburo seemed to only hear the first two sentences, "He embarrassed you?"
This guy's eyebrows were almost knotted, and the white cat wanted to stretch out his claws to help him break up, but the young man grabbed him and pinched it hard: "Huh?"
"Can he embarrass me?" Chitose amused, "After a few gossips, the little puppet boy was making a fuss about booing, and we came out." Speaking of which, I don't know where Duanmujing got the soul stone, but unfortunately the effect is unknown. You say, should we steal it?"
"Nope. Yan Saburo vetoed her proposal, "Yan Tao is unruly. ”
What is the relationship between the soul stone and Yan Tao's unruliness? Chitose felt that this kid's brain circuit was jumping more and more.
The boy looked at her, and stopped talking.
"Why do you look constipated?" the cat disliked him, "by the way, he invited us to dinner at noon the day after tomorrow." ”
His face was expressionless: "You agreed?"
"Promise. "Chitose doesn't care," It is said that Eve's House is a time-honored brand in Anlai City, and it is a pity not to taste it, and some people pay for it. ”
"The drunkard doesn't mean to drink. ”
She heard the young man's sullen tone, and quickly changed the topic: "Have you finished reading the book, are there any new clues about the stone tablet?"
Yan Saburo took out the four books and put them on the table: "I only read two books, one is useless, and the other one, mentioning that the stone tablet was given by the gods before the construction of Anlai City." ”
Chitose doesn't even have to guess: "This god is a three-eyed monster, right?"
"Well, the description of the appearance of the gods in the book is in line with the characteristics of the Three-Eyed Monster or Cangwu Messenger. Yan Saburo continued, "It's too long ago, the specific date can't be determined, and Anlai City was just a small village at that time. At that time, we were all barren forests, not only infested with wild beasts, but also the land was barren, and the crops could not fill our stomachs, so the population was always only two or three hundred. Finally, one day, the gods came, drove away all the beasts, and brought a stone tablet to the Anlai people. ”
"And then?"
"It guarantees that the stele will bring good weather. The village will get it, the village will have a bumper harvest, the town will get it, the town will have a good harvest, the country will get it, and the country will have a bumper harvest, and there will be no troubles of water, fire, and evil. ”
"The Three-Eyed Monster doesn't come to send warmth for no reason, does it?" Chitose now also knows a lot about the tone of the Hidden Ghost, "What are the conditions?"
"The condition is very simple, that is, it must be placed in the ancestral temple of Anlai Village to take effect. Therefore, in the past, Anlai Village and today's Anlai City will send special personnel to guard the ancestral temple. Yan Saburo said in a deep voice, "Another point, if someone has a bad intention to move away or steal it, it will be cursed." ”
"What curse?"
"Cut off children and grandchildren. ”
“...... I thought the stele would curse them to die. Or curse the thief for some ill, "Effective?"
"It's hard to say. According to the local history of Anlai City, the stele has been stolen five times in its history. "Yan Saburo has a good memory," the first four times happened when Anlai was just a village or township, and the stolen stone tablet finally came back. At least three robbers in history have not died well, but I don't know if it is really related to the stone stele. ”
This kind of thing is very mysterious, even if someone steals the stone tablet and dies alone, it may not be said to be a curse. However, of course, the history books have made a lot of hype, which adds more and more mystery to the sacred objects of Jimiao.
"By the way, because of the outstanding people of the earth spirit here, and the town boundary of the gods, the strongmen who occupy the land here can consolidate their power and develop and grow. Coming and going, the national capitals of successive dynasties were also built nearby, or simply Anlai was used as the capital to worship nearby. ”
The locals thought that the gods were kind and merciful to the world, so they sent a stone tablet to protect the wind and rain. But Yan Saburo and Chitose knew the background of this matter, and they never thought it was the ghost's kindness.
"This stele is written in the Tibetan language, and only the ghosts can read it. Therefore, the purpose of the Three-Eyed Monster Monument is not to communicate with humans. Chitose groaned, "He's going to leave it to his kindred." ”
"But it had been a long time since it escaped from the Hidden World? "Chitose continues to deduce," it wrote down its way into its deathbed, perhaps hoping that its people would continue what it had not competed for. ”
"Just like the god of the sea did. ”
"Yes. ”
"But it's running out of time then, how can we guarantee that this stele will fall into the hands of the clansmen?" Yan Saburo muttered, "The only way is to ask someone to keep it alive until other hidden ghosts come to the door." ”
There is a world of distance between this guy and his fellow clan, and the uncertainty is too high.
However, people's hearts are fickle. Therefore, in addition to the blessing, the three-eyed monster added another curse to the stone tablet to ensure that it could stay in Anlai for a long time.
"However, is this guy's ability so powerful?" The mountain spirit still enjoys the willingness of the people to worship, but this three-eyed monster is at the end of its rope at that time, can it still divide the power to give blessings and curses?
Thinking of this, Yan Saburo's heart was a little blocked.
Chitose reminded him: "Do you remember that Zhuang Nanjia and the Seagod Envoy both mentioned the former patriarch of the ghost clan? ”
Of course Tsubazaburo remembers. Zhuang Nanjia and the Seagod Envoy are mortal enemies, but when it comes to this old patriarch, the admiration is from the bottom of their hearts.
"We need more leads. He clicked on the book, "As for the origin of the stele, it is all a legend, not a record. ”
"Leave it aside. You said that the stele was stolen four times, but what about the fifth time?" the cat spread out on the table, and could lie down and never sit, and the room was warm and smoked, and it was so sleepy that it was smoky.
"For the fifth time, the person who stole the stele was special. Yan Saburo word by word, "It's Yan Xiao, the founding ancestor of Xuanguo!"
This answer was a little unexpected, and the white cat sighed: "No wonder the old temple greetings in the Ji Temple are unknown, it turns out that the thief is the king of a country." ”
The book sums it up in one sentence. Yan Saburo repeated, "Taizu made people take away the sacred objects of the Duo Kingdom, and after fifteen years, they destroyed the Duo and returned to the Ji Temple. ”
There are less than two crosses, and this matter is hidden in the sea of historical materials.
