Chapter 16 chapter 15
In the center of the high platform is a Tai Chi Eight Diagrams diagram, and each of the eight corners of the octagon has a golden cicada.Yan Xiao knew all the things, but he didn't know what these things meant when they were put together. The Tai Chi Eight Diagrams were specially used for divination. It is golden yellow, and the sound of "Cicada" is the same as "Zen", so it is called Jinchanwei.
Generally speaking, each corner of a polygon has a special meaning. In the array, the key parts are generally on each corner of the polygon, but the eight trigrams are different. Its key parts are on each side of the octagon .
Originally irrelevant things could be put together, and they were put in the wrong place. Yan Xiao doubted her own judgment a little. Could it be that this is not an important place at all? If she was told in the end, it was just a joke Where children play, believe it or not, a sip of salt soda will spray you to death!
The sense of confusion that followed the first glance was still lingering in her heart, Yan Xiao stepped on the solid stone slab of the high platform, and walked in cautiously, there was no electric current, and nothing unusual happened.
Yan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could finish her breath, she picked up the gossip diagram in the middle at a glance, but she couldn't see it from a distance. The cracks seemed to be split by something.
If it wasn't for playing house for children, this incident must have had a huge impact. Although it seems that many years have passed, it is impossible for something with a huge impact to have no traces. One that can leave traces is a book. , even if it is not in the official history, it will definitely be involved in the unofficial history. This place only looks complicated, but you can still see it at a glance. There is no place for books, so you can only use another way-ask the locals.Not all the locals immigrated later, even if there are no books, there must be some words of mouth.
Just where to find the locals, this place doesn't look like a place where people can live.Turning his eyes, he saw Shan Heyi who was hesitating under the high platform, hey, isn't there a ready-made one!
Yan Xiao hurriedly walked to the edge of the high platform, waved to Shan Heyi, and shouted: "Hey, why are you still standing there in a daze! Hurry up, come up!"
Shan Heyi was taken aback by Yan Xiao's voice, and was even more at a loss. The tangle on his face could be solidified, but Yan Xiao was far away, so he didn't recognize the tangle, and thought the child hadn't seen it. After passing this thing, I was intimidated and simply nervous.
Yan Xiao slowed down her tone, and said: "It's okay, I just checked, there are no traps here, it's not dangerous, it just looks a little dignified, come up quickly, I have something to ask you."
Shan Heyi struggled secretly for a while, but Yan Xiao didn't urge him, and finally the child's heart broke, and he made up his mind, and walked towards the stairs of the high platform.It's just that there was another accident when going up the stairs, Shan Heyi reached the edge of the stairs, hesitantly refused to step up, finally took a step, but didn't dare to push down, the result was "pia", the whole body fell down and bowed to God under the altar.
Yan Xiao had no choice but to condescend, personally descended from the altar, and asked him to flatten his body. He still did not forget to tease him: "Shouldn't I just invite you to the high platform? Is it necessary to perform such a big ceremony? You dare to do it, but I don't." Pick up." Shorten my life by a few years, will you pay for it?
Shan Heyi's face turned red and white, his feet were still wobbly, but he could finally walk properly.Regarding what Yan Xiao said, he wanted to explain a few words, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he just opened his mouth and didn't jump out a word.
Yan Xiao pulled Shan Heyi to the high platform. He had experienced the shock and knew what would happen next. When Shan Heyi stepped on the last step, he looked back at him.
Sure enough, Shan Heyi was shocked by the vision, and his trembling legs were about to kneel down. Yan Xiao hurriedly helped him up. In less than a minute, he received two big gifts, and the altar might not be able to bear it. Sit down on the nearest steps.
It's okay not to sit, but once he sat down, Shan Heyi became even more nervous, he didn't know how to write when he stood up, he just wanted to roll off quickly.Yan Xiao didn't understand, why not just go to the high platform, although the high platform is a bit strange, there is no need to be so afraid.
It took Yan Xiao a lot of effort to calm Shan Heyi down. After asking questions that had troubled him for a long time, he found that Shan Heyi seemed to like telling stories, so Yan Xiao only asked, "What is this station for?" "Yes", Shan Heyi didn't even give him a look, so he started blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. .
This story is really well told, and Yan Xiao was fascinated by it unconsciously. I have to say that interest can really stimulate people's infinite possibilities. This boy who can't say a few words on weekdays and is easily shy, told the story Come, the mouth is not swirling.
Perhaps it was the first time that someone listened to his story so carefully. Shan Heyi became excited and forgot about the two big gifts he had just given to Java, as if he was possessed by a storyteller in an ancient teahouse. , Two cups of tea would be perfect.
One of the two was fascinated by what he was talking about, and the other was fascinated by what he was listening to. They didn't pay attention to the direction of the story. He still got what he wanted to know, and it was more than he imagined, but it was too... a bit unreal.
This nondescript platform in Yan Xiao's eyes is actually a sacrificial platform, which is used for offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, divination, etc.Not everyone can go up, only the eight most prestigious people in the clan have this qualification, and others will be backlashed if they go up.
As for what kind of backlash, Shan Heyi didn't know, only heard that he would shout like crazy, then lose weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally collapsed to death without sleep.
Yue Mo’s ideological education has been done very well. This situation has not happened for several generations, and this matter is only spread as a fairy tale now.Hearing this, Yan Xiao thought of the scene when Shan Heyi went up to the high platform, and felt that the two big gifts seemed a little light.
As for the structure of the altar, Shan Heyi is not clear. The altars used in their village are all temporarily built, and only when there are major decisions or important festivals celebrated every few years, will they be asked to build them. Prayer on the altar.
It is the villagers' dream to have such a majestic altar. Generally, only the rich can build it, and the majestic altar is also a symbol of the prestige of a village and a clan. It is absolutely impossible to hide it from others. As far as Shan Heyi knows, there is no clan village nearby that has such ability.
Just when Yan Xiao was discouraged and thought he was going to stop here, another story caught his attention.
It was a story about Fuze and Enze. At that time, Enze Mountain had not become full of holes, and Fuze Mountain was still very young. Two young and energetic mountain gods had a quarrel over a trivial matter, and then they fought , The battle has not stopped for five days and five nights.
At this time, a giant beast roared at them, shaking them away.Fuze and Enze looked at this giant beast falling from the sky, at a loss. Judging from the roar just now, the strength of the giant beast is obviously superior to them, let alone they have fought for five days and five nights. The beast will be against them, and they have no room to resist.
But the giant beast didn't do anything, just stared at the two of them, and a young man walked out from the depths of the dense forest. The man walked up to the giant beast, reached out and touched its head, and the giant beast turned into a cute pet in a second, The fluffy head enjoys rubbing against the hands that are a bit petite compared to its head, as if it wasn't the one who was staring at it just now, everything is an illusion.
Only then did Fuze and Enze see what kind of species it was. It was a huge silver-haired wolf. This wolf was different from the wolves they had seen. It just stood there and did nothing. One who can feel the majesty of the superior is definitely not a wolf that is easy to raise, ah no, it must not be a wolf that ordinary people can raise.
The man withdrew his hand, looked in the direction of the two, and said, "You guys are making such a fuss, have you ever thought about the creatures living in the mountains?"
The two were taken aback by the question, and hurriedly checked the situation in the mountains. If they didn’t see it, they didn’t know. This sight really made them break out in a cold sweat. The original scenery, the beautiful scenery, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers are gone now, and only the vitality is left in the dense forest. The tenacious trees are still lingering, and the chirping birds only stop for a while at night, and the whole mountain has become lifeless.When gods fight, those who suffer are mortals without divine protection.
The little gods who made a mistake stood in a row, not daring to say anything. Finally, the young man promised to teach them a way to save them, on the condition that they would settle here.
Since then, there has been an additional ethnic group on Fuze Mountain and Enze Mountain. They are good at controlling beasts.
Yan Xiao naturally thought that these beast-controlling people were the ancestors of these villagers, so he asked casually, "Has the beast-controlling technique been lost?"
Shan Heyi nodded, and continued: "They appeared suddenly and disappeared suddenly, no one knew where they went. It was as if they had never existed before, and the people who came after them went to the place where they once lived. But no trace was found, it is said..."
The more Yan Xiao heard it, the more something was wrong, and interrupted: "Wait, aren't you descendants of the beast-riding people?"
Shan Heyi shook his head innocently. He didn't seem to have said that the Beast Riders were their ancestors. Why did Yan Xiao have such a misunderstanding.
Yan Xiao asked again in disbelief: "There are so many villages, but none of them have descendants of the beast-riding people?"
Shan Heyi still shook his head and said: "No, I heard that there are unique imprints on the body of the Beast Riders, but no one has been found."
Yan Xiaoxin said, you are so naive, how could that person make a big publicity about having a mark, he must want to hide it so that no one will find out, who knows if he will be caught as a different kind and sacrificed to drink.
If what Shan Heyi said is true, then this, let's call it a square, this square is probably left by the beast-riding people, but why hasn't it been discovered?
"No traces were found, could it be because it was burned?" Yan Xiao asked, "If it is burned, everything will be gone, and of course there will be no traces left."
Shan Heyi replied: "No, everything is in good condition, no trace of fire was found."
Yes, what he can think of, there is no reason why other people can't think of it, but such a group of people live here without leaving traces, it is simply a fantasy, even if a person lives for a period of time, they will still leave traces. Not to mention that the people stationed here are not just a few people, but several generations, unless...
Yan Xiao's eyes froze, and he landed on the split gossip map. A guess came to his mind. He turned his head and asked Shan Heyi, "Did anything happen before the beast-riding clan disappeared?"
Shan Heyi stared at the floor and thought for a long time, he knew very little about this, and there was no "memory" handed down at all.After a long time, he said: "I only heard that before that, the beasts in the forest were very restless and often attacked people."
"Then... did any new people come to settle here?" Yan Xiao asked.
"It was a time of turmoil at that time. In the depths of our dense forest, many people would come to take refuge, and those people basically stayed until now." Although Shan Heyi didn't know that Yan Xiao was so concerned about this issue The reason, but it did not prevent him from answering the question, telling everything he knew.
Yan Xiao didn't continue to embarrass Shan Heyi any longer, he walked to the Eight Diagrams and squatted down, carefully looking at the gap, he had an intuition that this beast-riding man must not be simple, he might be the builder of this square.
What was their purpose in building this square?Why do they suddenly disappear?Why are there no traces left?Why……
Too many reasons piled up in his mind, and the strong impact from the altar surged up again, Yan Xiao felt dizzy for a while, and threw forward uncontrollably, he subconsciously stretched out his hand for support.
It's so hard to die, the palm just landed on the crack, and the sharp corner pierced the palm, and the gushing blood quickly seeped into the stone with the Eight Diagrams drawn on it.
The tingling pain from the palm brought back Yan Xiao's mind, and she stood up with a push back on the hand she was supporting.
Yan Xiao raised her hand and looked at the wound on the palm that was still bleeding, and then looked at the gossip chart without a trace of blood, thinking deeply.
The accident happened at this time...
