When the Dian Kingdom fell in the middle of the Han Dynasty, great conflicts arose in the country, and some people split from the Dian Kingdom. These people went into the mountains and lived an isolated life; from then on, these people

They gradually disappeared from history, and the understanding of them by later generations only comes from the sporadic records in the right half of the examination of Zuotuohuan.

These people who separated from the ancient Dian Kingdom naturally formed a tribal group. They had a very weird ritual, using strange tanks suspended in the water to drown living people in them and raise fish with the dead.

A fish that eats human flesh every day is several times stronger than an ordinary fish. When the fish grows up, on the night of the full moon, the tank must be taken out of the water, the human bones inside burned, and used to offer sacrifices to the six jade statues.

Then eat the fish in the tank in soup. It is said that eating this kind of fish fed by dead people can prolong your life.

The old shopkeeper of the coffin shop didn't know how he got these things. Whether it was passed down from his ancestors or found by himself, he doesn't know yet. It is very likely that he has mastered this evil ritual, and he also found pre-Qin ruins under the coffin shop. This means

It's like finding a very hidden place. In order to hide better without being exposed, he used the legend that someone would die if he slapped the coffin, so that the nearby villagers felt a sense of fear of his shop and would not dare to approach it easily; until he died

Only later did these secrets emerge. However, whether the old shopkeeper of the coffin shop was actually the murderer or not would have to wait until people from the Public Security Bureau arrived for detailed investigation and evidence collection.

After listening to Professor Sun's words, there happened to be a braised fish in the meal. I was so sick that I could hardly eat anymore. The more I thought about it, the more disgusting I became, so I stopped eating. I said to Professor Sun: You are simply the Sherlock Holmes of the East.

, I have been studying below for a long time, but I can't figure out the reason. Gao, you are really Gao.

Professor Sun's attitude towards me this time was much better than last time. He immediately said to me: In fact, I saw someone collecting such a strange tank in Yunnan before. He bought it from Nanyang many years ago. I didn't expect it.

This kind of evil magic is still prevalent in some places in Southeast Asia. Do you remember what I said last time that Lao Chen saved my life? That was also in Yunnan.

Although this kind of disgusting and cruel magic is weird, it has no direct relationship with us after all. If we can find Professor Sun, we have achieved our goal. So we just listened to what Professor Sun said just now. Zheng and I are going to

Professor Chen asked him about something, and he didn't think of how to speak for a while. Then he heard Professor Sun mention Professor Chen and asked him to elaborate.

Professor Sun sighed: There is nothing to say, I feel ashamed to say it, but it has been so many years anyway. At that time, Lao Chen and I were sent to Yunnan to undergo rehabilitation. Lao Chen was more than ten years older than me and took good care of me.

.I had some style problems at that time and fell in love with a local widow. You should know how bad this incident was at the time.

On the surface, I pretended to be serious and listened, but I laughed secretly in my heart: Old Man Sun looks like a farmer working in the fields, not a professor at all. I never thought that such romantic stories existed in the past. Even this romance is explained.

Come out. From this point, we can see that he is a person who can't help things. It's not too difficult to trick him. The key is to find a good breakthrough.

Just listen to Professor Sun continue to say: I couldn't stand the pressure at that time, so I hung myself in the bullpen and kicked the stool away from my feet. I felt uncomfortable. I didn't want to die. I regretted it very much and started to miss life again. But regret also

It was too late, my tongue was halfway out, and I was about to finish. At this time, Lao Chen rushed over and saved me. Without Lao Chen, where would I be today?

I knew that the opportunity had come. Professor Sun recalled the events of that year, which touched his heart and started talking more. Taking this opportunity, I quickly said that Professor Chen's current condition was ten times worse, and asked him to take out the rubbings of the keel of the different characters.

Professor Sun watched and told him why we came to ask him, even if it was for Professor Chen's sake that he would make an exception and reveal some secrets to us.

Professor Sun's face immediately changed, he bit his lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally said to us: I can take this rubbing back and help you look at it and analyze what is written on it. But you have nothing to do with this matter.

Don't confide it to anyone. It's not convenient to say more here. Come see me again after we return to the Gutian County Guest House tomorrow.

I was worried that he would change his mind, so I asked for the rubbings of the Yiwen Dragon Bone and made an agreement with Professor Sun to show him after I returned to the county guest house.

After dinner that day, I wanted to find my way back to Gutian County. Before I left the village, I was stopped by the blind fortune teller who always talked about trains. The blind man asked me if I still wanted to buy his Xianglist Mi Di Eye Map.

The goods are sold to the best sellers, and as for the price, it's easy to negotiate.

If I hadn't seen the blind man, I would have almost forgotten about this matter. I know that his Xiangdanzi Mi Di Eye Map is actually a Feng Shui map, which is of no great use. The real book is made of special materials, so it is valuable. In the picture

The content itself is almost the same as the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and it doesn’t make much sense. Besides, the blind man’s book looks like a piece of Xibei stuff that lays eggs, and it’s not genuine at all. I said to him: Old man, you still want to sell this picture to someone who knows the stuff.

The blind man said, "That's natural. If you know the goods, I will give you whatever price you want. If you don't know the goods, even if you promise a thousand gold, it will be in vain. This sacred object cannot fall into the hands of ordinary people. I touched the bones of your Excellency that day."

Appearance, I see that your Excellency has seven orifices with snake locks, and you are born with the appearance of a majestic prince. Looking at the current world, who else can be worthy of this title of "Xiang Dan Zi Mi Di Yan Tu".

I said to the blind man: If that’s the case, then I’m afraid you won’t be able to sell this atlas. Because it’s simply a counterfeit. Those who know the goods won’t want to buy it, and those who don’t know the goods won’t sell it. You’d better keep it for yourself as soon as possible.

.Also, stop making excuses with the princes, okay? Our family may have had pigs and monkeys before, but we have never had any pigs or monkeys. If I were a pig and monkey, I should go to the zoo.

.

When the blind man saw that I had discovered this fake picture, he begged me to take him to Beijing because we were all colleagues, where he could tell people's fortunes, feel their bones, and resell some egg-laying instruments.

It would be a good idea to respond to the imperial court's call and become well-off.

I saw that the blind man was really pitiful, and after discussing it with compassion, I agreed to his request and agreed to return to Beijing to find him a place to live near Panjiayuan and let Da Jinya take care of him. And the blind man

If you can get away with this mouth, it will be a good support for our future business.

But I tell you, blind man, that you are no better than anyone else. If you give fortune-telling to anyone else and tell them what they can do in the future, it won’t work. You might as well be labeled as inciting mass uprisings.

.

He nodded repeatedly and said: You don't need to explain these things, I will understand them naturally. That crime is absolutely unbearable. Once the court investigates it, I will be sentenced to death without saying anything. When I arrive in the capital, I will

It's just a matter of picking up the money you meet.

So I took the blind man back to Gutian Guest House together. I would talk long if I had anything to say, and short if I had nothing to do. In the afternoon of the next day, I finally expected Professor Sun to come back, so I immediately asked the blind man to wait in the guest house and made an appointment with Professor Sun at a restaurant in the county town.

Meet in the middle.

In the restaurant, Professor Sun said to us: Regarding the Dragon Bone Essay, the reason why I didn’t tell you last time was because I was more worried at the time. But I thought about it all night yesterday, and I had to tell you even for Lao Chen’s sake.

; But I hope you will act with caution and not cause too much trouble.

I asked Professor Sun: I don’t quite understand what you have to worry about? Why can’t things from thousands of years ago be made public today?

He shook his head and said: It's not that I can't say it, it's just that I haven't had the right time to say it. The information I have is very limited. These different texts are all confidential documents from ancient times, which record some things that are rarely known to anyone and have not even been recorded in the annals of history.

Although the method of deciphering the Heavenly Book has been mastered, due to the age difference, it is very difficult and complicated to understand and verify the deciphered contents. Moreover, there are many defects in these Dragon Bone Variations.

It is rare to find well-preserved ones. Once there is an ambiguity between the cracked content and the original text, even if it is just one word, the error will be huge.

I said to Professor Sun: Even though you told us about these business matters, we don’t understand. We traveled thousands of miles to come to you just to know about the Muchen Bead, and we also brought with us the rubbings of the dragon bone with different inscriptions.

Please help us interpret it and see if there are any clues as to where the Muchen Bead is located.

Professor Sun took the rubbings, looked at them for a long time, and then said to me: According to regulations, these are not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world. This was the reason why I scared you last time; because this information is not yet mature, and publishing it would be disrespectful to history.

Responsibility. But this time for Lao Chen, I didn’t care about any rules and risked my life today. You want to ask Muchen Bead. I know very little about Muchen Bead. I think it may be some kind of symbolic symbol.

Ritual vessels, shaped like eyeballs, first appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In the unearthed dragon bone secret texts of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there is no clear information as to when and who made the Muchen beads, and where the materials were obtained.

The rubbing you brought is similar to the ones I have seen before. I am not sure that the symbol on the dragon bone is the Muchen Bead. But I can tell you for sure that this symbol that looks like an eyeball and a vortex was used in the Zhou Dynasty.

The meaning represented in the text is Phoenix, and the information recorded on this rubbing is the description of Fengming Qishan by the people of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

My mind was filled with doubts, so I asked: Isn’t the Phoenix an animal made up by the ancients? Is it really true in this world?

Professor Sun replied: This is hard to say, because the Dragon Bone Book records very important archives of the ancient ruling class, and ordinary people cannot know the contents. Therefore, I personally believe in the content recorded in the Dragon Bone Codex.

But having said that, I don’t think there is a phoenix in the world. Maybe this is a cipher within a cipher, a hint within a hint.

I asked: Are you saying that this content seems to describe the phoenix, but in fact it is a replacement for a certain event or object, just like in some war movies we watch, some people privately call the chairman of the committee an old man. When mentioning the old man,

Everyone knew it was Chiang Kai-shek.

Professor Sun said: Your metaphor is very inappropriate, but the meaning is somewhat close. In ancient times, the phoenix's cry on the Qishan Mountains indicated that the Dao would conquer the unprincipled, and the rise of the Zhou Dynasty replaced the declining Shang Zhou. The fictitious spirit of the Phoenix

The beast can be said to be a symbol of good luck and wealth. It has specific meanings in various historical periods and different religious backgrounds. But as for what it means in the Dragon Bone Book, it is hard to say; I infer that this eye-shaped symbol

The representation of the phoenix is ​​also inferred from the rest of the text in the same chapter on the dragon bone, so there should be no mistake about this.

I nodded and said, "That's right, because the Muchen Bead itself has another name called Phoenix Gallbladder. I don't know where this name started to spread. It seems that this eye-shaped ancient jade has something to do with that fictional creature."

There is some kind of connection between phoenixes. Professor, does the secret text of this rubbing mention any clues about the ancient tomb or location?

Professor Sun said: If I don’t want to tell you, it’s really not true at all. I will help you write the translation on paper. You will know at a glance that this is just an ancient article describing Fengming Qishan in worshiping the sky. This kind of

Things have always been valued by emperors. You can pray for the prediction of the phoenix's cry and you will be entrusted with orders from the sky and achieve great things. Just like when we open a restaurant now, we set off firecrackers and hang red banners to seek good fortune.

I was lost in the fog, fully expecting that this precious rubbing would contain the whereabouts of the Muchen Bead, but in the end there was only this content. I asked Professor Sun to write down the translation in the rubbing and read it several times, and indeed

No location was mentioned. It seems that this clue that has been shelved for decades has been broken again today.

If I were to look for new clues again, it would be no less than finding a needle in a haystack. I couldn't help but gnash my teeth when I thought about where I was angry, and the veins on my forehead jumped. The person next to me was also biting his lip, his whole body was shaking slightly, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

Professor Sun saw the two of us dejected, so he took out a photo and put it on the table: Don't be so depressed now. Let's take a look at the photo I took yesterday. Maybe you can go to the deep mountains and forests of Yunnan and gain something there.
