"Exterminate the clan," Xiangyu looked forward and said to me in a desperate tone.
When I heard the word "genocide", I immediately thought of the ancient pagoda adjacent to the ancient temple in Wawu Mountain, and the densely packed bones inside. That scene gave me the feeling that the tribe was being massacred.
.
Suddenly, I felt that there might be something hidden here.
"Xiangyu, although I have experienced so many strange things, and many unexplainable phenomena have occurred in my own body, until now, in fact, deep in my heart, I still have a question, that is, whether the Sirians are
Therefore, I think the curse of the Sirians is also a myth, so you don’t need to care about it.” I said to Xiang Yu, in fact, this was also my true inner thought.
"Zhou Cang, maybe you don't believe it now because you haven't experienced it, but you will believe it eventually," Xiangyu was calmer than I expected, with a calm look.
"Maybe, I haven't experienced enough things now." I smiled and said to Xiangyu: "So, let's end this topic for now. You can tell me some things about the eight major families."
"Probably the only eight major families left in the world are the Xu family and the Wen family. The other five families have been exterminated long ago, and they were all cursed by the Sirius people." Xiangyu said.
.
"But, Xiangyu, it feels like there is no such thing as a curse. Moreover, the eight major families have existed for such a long time. It is possible that some of them have disintegrated. They are not necessarily cursed by the Sirians." I find it a bit incredible.
.
"Zhou Cang, did you know? Your grandma got married, which also violated the rules set by the Sirius people. Therefore, the Xu family will inevitably embark on this road of no return." Xiangyu said, "And you
Don't you think it's strange? Why are all the astrolabes hidden in a mysterious place known only to the family that owns the astrolabe, but the Xu family's astrolabe is still in the hands of the clan leader, and it is returned every year
Sacrifice will be held regularly."
"This, this, I really haven't thought about it. Grandma just told me before that black jade is the totem of the Xu clan. As for the other things, she didn't tell me much." I was immediately attracted by Xiang.
Yu was stunned by the question.
"The totem object, that black astrolabe is indeed the totem object of the Xu family, but it is just stained with blood." Xiang Yu said, suddenly a little excited.
"Xiangyu, what do you mean by this?" I asked a little puzzled.
"Zhou Cang, you know that the Xu family is actually the leader of the eight major families, and I can tell you clearly that every year when the Xu family sacrifices the astrolabe, they are actually conducting secret negotiations with the Sirius people.
Trading, and this kind of trading must be related to the copper mines in front of us." Xiangyu said.
"Xiangyu, please wait a moment. I don't understand. Do you mean that the astrolabe is actually a way of establishing a relationship between the Xu family and the Sirians, just like our current radio waves?
That way." I said.
"That's probably what I mean." Xiangyu's slightly excited tone began to return to normal, and his speaking speed slowed down a bit.
"The Xu family and the Sirians used the astrolabe as a channel to conduct secret transactions. What were they trading? Did the Xu family provide copper mines to the Sirians?" Suddenly there were too many question marks in my mind.
"I don't know this, I just deduced it based on the information I have." Xiangyu said.
"Then how much do you know? Tell me all at once." I said.
"First of all, there is that ancient book. The ancient book was actually compiled by the Xu family, but a lot of the information in it is wrong. The reason why the Xu family did this is to lead all future generations who spy on the astrolabe to a clue.
Wrong path." Xiangyu said and began to walk forward slowly.
Seeing this, I followed her and walked forward.
"The Xu family should have had a conspiracy to annex all the astrolabes a long time ago, so the other seven major families hid the astrolabes, and each family used their specialties to hide the astrolabes.
Various dangerous factors were set up in the places where the astrolabe was placed, which is why no one was able to find these astrolabes for thousands of years." Xiangyu said.
"But, what does this have to do with me? Why is there such a rumor that only I can find the astrolabe?" I asked in confusion.
"Zhou Cang, don't be angry when I tell you. I think these rumors were probably spread by your grandma. Moreover, only your grandma knows where all the astrolabes are hidden." Xiang Yu said.
I immediately thought of my grandma’s dowry. Each dowry may represent a place. Therefore, the gold silk I brought from Wawu Mountain, the Peacock King bracelet unearthed from Poyang Lake, and those gold foil paper-cuts may very well represent a place.
These are the human figurines in Shentang Bay.
However, this is the only dowry my grandma has in my hands right now. There are also five other astrolabees. Where are they?
"Zhou Cang, I think the Sirian blood in you is probably related to the annual sacrifices of the Xu family. Moreover, you must know that according to the records in the Xingpan family, the origin of human beings originally originated from the Sirians.
Genetic engineering, so a certain part of the gene is implanted in your father or mother,
Thereby changing or directionally changing certain attributes of their offspring, this may be a fantasy with the technology currently mastered by humans, but for the Sirians, it may be effortless." Xiangyu suddenly stopped and looked at it.
I said, with a serious expression on my face, not even the slightest hint of joking.
"Xiangyu, what you mean is that it is very likely that the eight major families all have special genes implanted by the Sirians, and the so-called curse means that if these eight major families violate certain rules stipulated by the Sirians, they will be controlled by the Sirians.
genes will
Mutations occur, so the race will not be exterminated." I said, and suddenly thought of a particularly appropriate metaphor: "It's like programmers writing programs. Sirians are programmers, genes are programs, and we are what the programs are.
It’s just a present existence.”
"That's it, Zhou Cang, I think your understanding and logical reasoning abilities are amazing." Xiangyu said to me with an incredible expression.
"But isn't my grandma still alive and well now? And nothing's wrong with you. So, doesn't the reasoning we just made a little bit unreasonable?" I continued to ask.
"Zhou Cang, you have ignored time. The gravity of the earth determines that our time passes much faster than other places in space. When we were children, didn't we often say that one day in the sky and one year on earth? It takes more than a hundred years for us to live in this world. On Sirius
From a human perspective, it might just happen with the snap of a finger." Xiangyu said.
"Xiangyu, according to what you said, I seem to suddenly understand why there are hundreds of years between each great festival. It is very likely that for the Sirius people, this is just the interval between our spring and autumn equinoxes." I was like.
It was like a sudden enlightenment.
"So, Zhou Cang, the water in this astrolabe is very murky and deep, and at the end of the investigation, it is very likely that the person who is playing tricks is the closest and most trusted person around you. I am not just referring to your family, it may also be me.
My family, after all, we are all caught up in this vortex." Xiangyu said.
"Xiangyu, so this copper mine is actually protected by the Wen family?" I asked.
"I don't know about this. It's possible, but not every generation of Wen clan chiefs can reach here." Xiangyu said.
"Is the astrolabe that belongs to your tribe in this mining area?" I asked. Then I felt something was wrong and said hurriedly: "If you say you don't know, I can understand."
"The astrolabe is indeed in the mining area, Poyang Lake. In fact, it is a smoke bomb deliberately created by the Wen family in order to contain the Xu family." Xiangyu said, "But where is it specifically, and are there any dangerous factors ahead?
Waiting for us, I won’t know this.”
"Then let's keep going, try to collect the eight astrolabees, and then we'll find out whether this Sirian is a human or a ghost." I said, smiling at Xiangyu.
"Okay." Xiangyu also smiled, stretched out his hand, and gave me a high-five.
At this time, a "gurgling" sound came from under our feet.
