Chapter 774: Golden Silk Nanmu
The content depicted in the backyard of the Miao man's house made the three of them very puzzled, the meaning was too mysterious, but Chu Xunyu determined that the origin of this thing was extraordinary after further careful observation, and it was indeed unusual in the relationship with the ancient Dian KingdomIt is not related to the ghosts and gods of the dead, and the private possession of the people is equivalent to rebellion, which is a major crime of extermination, so only the people in the royal gate can be used to decorate or be martyred.
Second, Chu Xunyu has been familiar with the classics of the medicine palace since childhood, and has a deep understanding of grass, wood, fish and insects, the best golden silk nanmu has a light fragrance, enduring, and can identify the origin according to the smell, he found that the wood in front of him is from the area of the ancient Yelang country, that is, the Ming Dynasty established within the jurisdiction of the Guizhou political envoy, where the Nanmu produced is this smell, and Zhuang Ji led the troops from Chu to the south into southern Xinjiang, and on the way must pass near Yelang, it must be cut down along the way and brought all the way here, in terms of his character, it will definitely not be distributed to the people of Li and the people, so the key is here。
Third, the style of painting depiction is extremely rough and barbaric, extremely weird, the old woman with the snake body has clear wrinkles and a cruel smile, which makes people look at children and disgust, and give birth to a feeling of disgust, which is typical of the witchcraft style of the pre-Qin period, which is in line with the essence of the Southern Xinjiang Cup and the Second Technique.
With these three points, Chu Xunyu dared to assert that this thing must be related to the ancient Dian Kingdom, to ask its origin, the black-faced man told them, in fact, he only knew a rough origin of this thing, it was picked up by his father, when he was a child, once his father went to the mountains to collect medicine, suddenly encountered a heavy rain, and washed down the snow on the mountain mixed with mud and stones, in the col his father saw a lot of scattered wood or something, including this plank, because he saw that this plank was quite complete, and it seemed to smell fragrant and brought it back with great joy, originally intended to be the wall of the home, but after washing it up, he found that it was full of strange patterns and felt that this thing was ominous, but he was reluctant to lose it, It was used to build a house in the backyard to put sundries, but fortunately, there has been no accident for many years, so I went with it, if it wasn't for Chu Xunyu to exchange silk today, I can't remember it.
After listening to Chu Xunyu's analysis and the description of the black-faced man, Wangchen and Mu Yuan both felt that what Chu Xunyu said was reasonable, the ruins in this mountain must be inseparable from the ancient Dian Kingdom, but it is still unknown whether it is an ancient tomb or the refining or cultivation place of the ancient Dian Kingdom's capable people, and it is necessary for the three of them to go in to find out, so Chu Xunyu took out the silk and gave it to them, at first the black-faced man was not very willing, thinking that if he wanted to exchange the goods, he would have to dismantle the hut, but Chu Xunyu didn't want this thing, first, to thank him for taking him to see this painting, and secondly, to inquire about the place in the mountain。
The black-faced man and his mother-in-law were overjoyed to see that they could receive the best Jiangnan silk without demolishing the house, and hurriedly invited everyone into the house to talk, poured tea and told the news. Dahan told Chu Xunyu that three generations of their family are medicine pickers, more into this mountain, there are indeed some dangers in the mountain, there have always been "two evils" said, one harm is that there are many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes in the mountain, and now at the beginning of spring, hundreds of insects are infested, and you must bring some antidote herbs into the mountain, otherwise you will be in danger. Chu Xunyu has never been afraid of this, and he will not repeat it here.
The second harm is that the villagers often say that the monster pounces on people, which the black-faced man also knows in detail, because his father and grandfather have met, it is said that there is a bottomless "mountain ghost cave" in this mountain, if you don't go well, it is easy to be pounced by the mountain ghost monster that escaped. Therefore, there has always been a saying here that "go white and not black, go south and not north", which means that you have to go in and out of the mountains during the day, and don't stay there at night, the mountain road in the south can be walked, but there is thick snow in the north, the forest is deep, and there are often monsters appearing, and you can only collect medicine in the south. Once when his father was young, because of greed, he strayed into the north forest, and when he rushed back, he was delayed, and the sun had set, so he bumped into a mountain ghost and pounced on him.
Chu Xunyu asked very incomprehensibly: "What are the 'mountain ghosts' you are talking about, or what exactly does it look like?" Because there has never been a mountain ghost in the concept of the Han people, it is necessary to figure out what it is, and it is better to prescribe the right medicine.
The black-faced man once heard his father say that it was a black-faced man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, huge in size, smelly all over his body, extremely hard, unable to speak, silent, and dressed in tatters, but there were occasional treasures on his body, and occasionally someone in the mountain would pick up some gold, silver and jade beads, all of whom knew that it was given by the mountain ghost, and when he came back, he would open the altar to worship and thank him for his gift.
"How does this sound familiar?" Mu Yuanqi asked, "Ye Langzhong, is this similar to the story of what zombies you told me when you were a child? ”
"I think so too. Chu Xunyu nodded, "It should be the zombies in the ruins here, but your father can come back alive to describe to you? Chu Xunyu raised the question in his heart.
The black-faced man laughed, and then replied to Chu Xunyu, when his father met the mountain ghost pounced, he was shocked and immediately fled, fortunately, he was young and strong, and he collected medicine all year round, his hands and feet were not slow, he didn't run a few steps to a cliff, and jumped off the cliff without saying a word, in fact, it was because the cliff was tied with a rope, which was the habit of their Miao family to collect medicine, grabbed the rope and jumped off the cliff, in the middle of the night to dodge, the mountain ghost wandered on the edge of the cliff for a while, saw no one, and went back, after he left, his father secretly said lucky, returned home, never dared to go to the north slope again.
This news inspired Chu Xunyu and the three of them greatly, it seems that the ruins in the mountain are in the north, but there are still unsolved points, if you guess correctly, this so-called mountain ghost should be a zombie to pounce on people, but what kind of zombie will be exposed in broad daylight? Even if it is dark night, it is absolutely impossible to show on the surface of the mountain, as soon as the day comes, the sun is shining, and within a year, the yin qi on the corpse will be dispersed, decay and pass away, how can it be perennial? The zombies of the ancient tombs are all in the tombs, buried deep and buried, why are they running around the mountains? Or are they relics? The strange warriors of the ancient Dian Kingdom became stiff after their deaths? From this golden silk nanmu, it seems that the characters in this are not Zhuang Ji, but they must also be the princes and nobles of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and they have a great relationship with Zhuang Ji, but they can't understand it when they pounce on people everywhere.
These doubts are also a waste of time to ask a black-faced man who is a common man, so Chu Xunyu and everyone said goodbye one after another, after coming out, he took out the animal skin tent on the horse and prepared to go out of the village for the night, there are still no Han people here, and the three of them will enter the mountain early tomorrow morning, Chu Xunyu gave Katong fifty years of silver and some herbs and salt, and told him to limit it to one month, and Katong is waiting here, if the three of them do not come out after a month, let him leave by himself. Ka Tong seems to be a little reluctant, but this is also a way to no way, the mountain is very dangerous, Ka Tong Jie mortals can only rely on the burden, he is a Miao person, you can stay in the village, or stay here as a good, wait for Chu Xunyu and the three of them to return victoriously in the future. This is still a little sure of Chu Xunyu, not to mention anything else, if it is an evil thing, it doesn't hurt that the zombies are dangerous, as soon as the Buddha light comes out, all the evils retreat, and those zombies who don't make a climate will be burned into a pile of loess by the Buddha's light, I'm afraid that there are other evil things in the mountains that have become climates, it depends on the means of the three people, but with Mu Yuan's "Diamond Sutra" that shocks the past and the present, even if the pre-Qin corpse king is here, the three of them dare to go on it, and take the fire from the fire.
Everything is ready for tomorrow......
