"Haha, you kid..." The old man was a little uncomfortable with my directness. He was startled for a moment and then sighed: "Okay, in this case, I will tell you directly. These stories you told,
Indeed, there are, and there are quite a lot of discussions in some classics that record magical and magical things. But after all, that period of history is too far away from the period we live in, so most of the classics are
Later generations made it up based on previous legends and personal imagination. As for the specific era, it basically appeared after the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, people in the Qin and Han Dynasties wrote a period of history thousands of years ago, and people like you and me wrote about the Qin and Han Dynasties.
What’s the difference between the past and the past? In the final analysis, credibility is still not enough, so those things may not be groundless, but there is no need to force it to move upward.”
The old man said, rummaging in the briefcase he brought for a long time, and then took out a notebook. From the middle of the notebook, he took out a piece of copy paper that was folded into eight pieces and gave it to me.
I took it over and took a look, it was a photocopied rubbing, that is, a photo with many words on it that was taken with a camera.
"What is this?" I couldn't help but frown when I saw that the things on it were mottled and shabby. When the old man heard this, he said to me with a smile: "Don't underestimate this thing. This thing is from the 1960s."
In the early days, my teacher unearthed a set of Warring States silk scripts from an ancient tomb in Henan. If you look at the words on it, can you tell any clues?"
"Warring States period?" When I heard this, I looked carefully again. Yes, the rotten silk book that looked like a piece of rag did have a lot of seal characters written on it, but the length of time that the silk book existed was really
It took too long, and the silk weaving technology at that time was incomplete. The whole picture looked
There aren't many complete handwritings on it. What's even more annoying is that those seal characters are handwritten, which is more difficult to read than the neat large seal characters and small seal characters. I read it several times, and I can only make out.
This thing should be something similar to the "memorials" in the past.
Looking at the beginning and signature, it is most likely a confidential document written by a minister to the king, but it is unclear what is written in it. Because the way of speaking in ancient times may be different from that of people today.
I always want to confuse people. Sometimes, a period of history can be described in just a dozen words, not even word for word. Putting all these aside, the biggest problem is the punctuation.
People today, no matter how difficult their writing is, they will add punctuation marks to break up sentences and so on. But people in ancient times did not have that habit. They put a dense pile of words together, and no one told you what to do with it.
read.
Because of this bad habit, famous scholars have different opinions on the interpretation of many historical materials. I was deeply aware of how troublesome this problem was, so I shook my head and returned the copy of the silk book directly: "
This thing looks too tiring, you might as well tell us a little bit about it."
"Oh, you can't understand, right?" Hearing this, the old man was very proud. He took the copy in his hand and pointed at us and said, "I told you just now, this is what my teacher got from an ancient tomb.
What was found inside was placed with many funerary objects at that time, and a lot of effort was put into preserving it completely.”
"You can tell by looking at the words on it and the material of this silk that it must be something belonging to a noble. We have the same view on this. We all think that this is a letter written by an alchemist who was raised by the emperor to the king at that time.
Zhang memorial table is the kind of memorial that was made during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is nothing at all, but I wonder if you have noticed the content described in this memorial table? In this memorial, it is written about something that can make people immortal.
The matter of the mysterious elixir."
"The silk book says that in the Northern Wasteland, there is a mysterious clan called 'Nine Heads'. They claim to be the descendants of the ancient evil god 'Xiang Liu'. They live in seclusion in the mountains and rarely interact with outsiders. They never appear during the day.
, but once night comes, these people will suddenly appear and plunder."
"They only kill people, not steal money. They often use horse-drawn carriages to pull corpses back. Sometimes they dig graves in groups to look for corpses. This incident makes everyone nearby panic. Everyone says they are
Monsters, but when the person who wrote the silk book traveled through mountains and rivers to get in, he discovered that these people had a secret that could give people eternal life.
Magic. He also said that the Nine-Headed Tribe in the mountains do not eat the fireworks of the world. They stay day and night. Every night they gather in groups to worship a huge elixir cauldron that emits green smoke, and use the elixir to come out of the cauldron.
The steam sustains life, and the blazing flames under the alchemy cauldron are extracted from the countless corpses. The color of the fire is pure green and does not look like something that can be found in the human world."
"He said that he once paid a large sum of money to bribe a handyman in a tribe to find out what was going on inside. However, the other party's level was too low and he didn't know what kind of secrets were hidden here. However, there is one thing that can be done
For sure, that is, the old patriarch of this mysterious clan has lived for more than a thousand years, has six palms on his ribs, and has great magical powers, and any member of this tribe can live for more than five hundred years."
"According to his speculation, there must be an elixir hidden in the elixir furnace. As long as he can get one, he can live for more than five hundred years... However, he also knows the situation of this tribe and knows that with his own
There is no way to snatch those things away, so he wrote to the monarch hoping that the other party would send an envoy to make friends with him. Even if he gets an elixir, it will be enough for him to enjoy all the glory and wealth."
"What happened next? Is this king really immortal?" Daniel asked, looking at the piece of paper with interest.
"Where is the immortal king? Of course there is no explanation in this silk book, but we all know that the king died miserably. According to the history books, the king encountered a mutiny while traveling, and he himself
His younger brother and one of his concubines teamed up to take control of
After taking the power of the country, he not only refused to let him enter the city, but also locked him outside and ridiculed him. His words were full of dirty and vicious words. This king was ashamed, helpless, and furious.
I drew my sword and killed myself at the gate of the border city. I was in my prime and ended up like this."
The old man said, shrugged, and then added: "In the past, no one understood why he ran outside the customs. Now that I think about it, it probably has something to do with the contents of this silk book."
