The red robe may have sensed my approach, so it turned around.
Oh my god, it's him.
My heart was beating like a jackhammer.
The red robe has a human appearance. It can be seen that he is a young man, and he should be pretty good-looking. However, his face is very strange, and he seems to have two things in his mouth.
The cheeks bulge outward and are triangular in shape, like the tails of two fishes.
This kind of character is almost the same as the people walking on the gravel beach in the mural composed of leaf-cutting ants that I saw in the gravel beach cave.
That scene, looking back now, probably depicts the fish-faced man going to the ancient temple to welcome his bride.
The fish-faced man raised his lips and made a strange expression at me. I couldn't understand it, but I felt that he was respectful to me. I wonder if it was because of the dark red jade piece in his hand.
I thought to myself that I probably wanted to get married to this man. I wonder if this fish-faced man can understand human speech. Should I explain to him that I am not the person he wants to marry, but a living man?
Man! When I thought of this word, I looked down at my golden dress and red embroidered shoes, and couldn't help but touch them with my hands to confirm whether the gender of the man was still there.
Fortunately, fortunately, I am still a man.
In front of me is a giant monolith. The stone is similar to a cone-cylindrical shape. Its size is difficult to estimate with the eyes. The surface of the boulder is densely carved with complex patterns, but the light is too dark, and I cannot get up close to see clearly.
, so I don’t know what the specific engraved pattern is?
On the front of the boulder, in front of me and the fish-faced man, is a staircase that goes straight upward. At this time, the fish-faced man was gesturing for me to go up the ladder.
I had no choice but to follow him up.
The stairs are very long, and it feels like there is no end. Under the ravage of the ancient ship, I have no strength at all. Now I estimate that I have climbed more than a hundred steps, and I feel like my whole body is about to fall apart.
About the time I could hardly climb anymore and was about to lie down, the stairs finally reached the end. In front of me was a somewhat spacious platform. An altar had already been set up on the platform, and a man who looked like a priest stood on the edge.
, without exception, is also a fish-faced person.
The priest's face was painted a grayish white color not only because of nature but also because of the need for sacrifice. A finger-thick red line was drawn from the Tianling cover to the tip of the chin. With this line as the center, there were three black lines on both sides of the face.
The red and black lines are so eye-catching that one can almost ignore the man's original appearance.
The fish-faced man sat on a Xumizuo that had been placed on the altar, and then motioned for me to sit on the other one.
I had no ability to resist, so I could only follow the command of the fish-faced man and sit on it obediently. Although I had some doubts in my heart: The wedding custom of this fish-faced man was so strange. He wanted to sit on the altar. It looked like he was going to accept it.
The priest who came down and was standing by the side was about to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.
As I expected, when we saw that we were seated, the priest slowly walked to the altar, but he did not light incense or anything, but quickly waved his neck to let the knife on it work.
The chain made of green agate and ivory swung rapidly, and his speed became faster and faster, so that in the end, there was almost only a rotating circle and a black dot in the middle.
The sound of the ivory hitting each other gradually formed a regular sound as the speed of the chain stabilized.
Just when I was shocked and dumbfounded, a "gu~gu~" sound came.
There is no doubt that it was produced by a musical instrument. It felt very familiar to me, but I couldn't tell what kind of musical instrument it was.
After the "coo" sound, there is a long suona sound. The sound is particularly harsh, but it is integrated with the sound of ivory and coo, making it impossible to pick out its thorns.
Slowly, the sounds of various musical instruments joined in from all directions. No one was seen directing, but the sounds of all the instruments were so harmonious that there was not a trace of abruptness.
I feel like I am in a large concert hall, where all the top musicians in the world are gathered here, and a highly skilled conductor is directing these musical masters to play an unprecedented piece of music.
Under the influence of the music, I felt that my whole person was in a super relaxed state, my body was light and airy, and my ideology was suddenly opened to the Rendu and Du channels. Those notes removed all the filth in my body and consciousness.
Selfishness, violence, fear, etc. are all washed away, leaving only goodness and beauty.
At this time, it started to rain, and there seemed to be a lot of cotton-like white clouds floating in the sky, which were particularly conspicuous in this gray environment.
The dark red stone piece in my hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The light shot straight into the sky, and a mirage appeared in the beam.
Almost at the same moment, the fish-faced man also emitted a beam of light. Almost like me, a mirage image also appeared in the beam.
It was only then that I discovered that the fish-faced man was also holding an oval-shaped object in his hand. Let me call it an astrolabe.
The astrolabe of the fish-faced man is a blue-black color, with a spiral surface and a slightly warped periphery. From my angle, it looks like a sapphire glowing in the dark night.
The mirage in the light beam has been changing slowly, and the musical instrument playing in the ears seems to have reached a climax, making people unable to help but feel excited.
I almost didn't have time to carefully examine what the mirage in the wandering control was like. Suddenly, a huge rectangular cube slowly descended from high in the sky, and finally floated above the cotton white clouds.
The overall impression of the cube is that it is carved from white marble. One of its corners is facing the ground, and two images of human heads and snakes are carved on two opposite ridges, hovering on the surface of the cube.
The head is standing just on the corner opposite to the corner facing the ground, looking at it with eager eyes, which makes people look in awe.
The side of the cube opposite me and the fish-faced man suddenly lit up when it was illuminated by the astrolabe's beam, emitting dark red light. However, its light was far brighter than the astrolabe in our hands.
The light emitted is much weaker.
The three rays of light connected together for less than half a minute. Then, I noticed some changes in the sonata, and it felt like it was coming to an end.
It is obvious that the variety of musical instruments is decreasing.
Then, the light of the cube suddenly disappeared, just as the astrolabe in our hands suddenly went out. The sky returned to gray. I don't know how the cube disappeared.
At this time, the speed of the ivory necklace that had been rotating gradually slowed down.
The fish-faced man next to me jumped off the altar, grabbed the white thatch grass placed on both sides of the altar at an extremely fast speed, and then stained it with red blood. On the bamboo slips prepared in advance,
Write vigorously and quickly.
Seeing this, I also got off the altar. After sitting cross-legged for too long, my feet were extremely numb. When I got off the altar, I could hardly stand.
I held the altar and stood on the edge watching the fish-faced man dance wildly on the bamboo slips with white thatch grass.
Gradually, I discovered that what he wrote seemed to be in the same style as the three-dimensional pictures and texts I saw in the ancient temple.
At this moment, I seemed to suddenly realize. It turns out that whether it is the Xu family, the ancient temple on Wawushan Mountain, or even the ancient city at the bottom of Poyang Lake that is still uncertain whether it exists, or the fish-faced man in the hand.
A sapphire astrolabe that seems to have the same function as the dark red stone tablet in my hand is actually not the point. The point is these words, which are the hidden thread hidden in these things.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but admire my father's wisdom. Although he was silent most of the time, he saw the most clearly.
The fish-faced man finally wrote five words on the bamboo slips. It should be said that they were five groups of things entwined together. If you look closely, it seems that there is a sentence written under each group of patterns: In the year of Taisui Yiyou, the rain will not be even.
.Although half of the harvest is harvested in the morning and evening, the field husband works hard every time. Yanlu, mulberry and hemp are good, Jingwu, wheat and beans are green. Although silkworms have enough leaves, the clusters are as white as silver. Three winters of snow are freezing, submerging and soaking the wheels.
"Earth Mother Sutra," I couldn't help but say it.
The fish-faced man seemed suddenly startled by me. He raised his head and glanced at me in surprise.
The Earth Mother Sutra is said to have been written by Emperor Xuanyuan. It is a book that predicts the growth and harvest of crops and livestock every year, as well as agricultural events that may occur in various places, based on the order of the Taisui stems and branches.
.
The fish-faced man seemed to have noticed something was wrong with me. He put down the cogongrass in his hand and walked towards me with a puzzled look on his face.
My heart tightened, and I couldn't help but take two steps back. Unexpectedly, my feet suddenly became empty, and my whole body instantly fell back.
