Bai Lao was obviously trying to remember something, and did not answer Tang Yi directly, "When I was young, I was an apprentice in an antique shop in Yanjing, and there was once a person dressed as a Taoist priest who came to the store and said this title!" ”

"Taoist priest dress? What did he do in the antique shop? A friend of the shopkeeper at the time? Tang Yi couldn't help but ask again.

Bai Lao was naturally not as nervous as Tang Yi, and smiled, "When you go to the antique shop, you should first guess whether you are buying something." Actually, he's here to buy something! As he spoke, Bai Lao took a sip of tea, as if searching for the memories in his mind, after all, this time was a little too long.

"And, what he buys is special. He said he wanted to buy an oracle bone that was old. ”

Buying oracle bones at an antique store is of course different from buying oracle bones at a drugstore, and there are also tortoiseshell bone fragments in pharmacies, which are medicinal herbs.

The oracle bones of the antique shop are naturally old things used for divination or memorization in ancient times.

Even in the Republic of China, this oracle bone was a big rare item among antiques, and there were few people who bought and sold it.

Among them, there are relatively more oracle bones used for divination, because of the long duration. The tortoise shell used for divination is called the tortoise carapace, and the belly carapace of the tortoise is generally used, but the dorsal carapace is also useful. Animal bones used for divination are mostly used from cow shoulder blades, but other bones are also useful, and there are even records of sorcerers using human bones.

However, the kind of oracle bones with written records are basically not found on the market. The oracle bone inscriptions that everyone often talks about are generally from the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Coincidentally, in the antique shop where Bai Lao was, the boss happened to have a few pieces of Tang Dynasty armor, all of which were belly armor.

Tortoise shell divination, not natural tortoise shell to take off, the material is very strict, the texture on the dark grid are particular. After selecting the material, it is necessary to cut and polish, drill out the round socket, and carve out the groove.

There is also a very important problem, the used tortoise shell can basically not be used again. Why? Because when divination, tortoise shells are generally burned with fire, and the good luck and evil should be judged according to the cracks that appear after the fire.

All but one of these pieces of armor had cracks. The boss originally only wanted to collect the one with complete cracks, but the cracked ones were given to him by the owner of the goods.

The Taoist priest bought it. Since this piece has not been used since it was made, and it is a thing from the Tang Dynasty, the shape is also very beautiful, so the odd goods are liveable, and the boss asked for a high price. The Taoist priest just casually asked for a small change, and then paid for it.

"Before leaving, he said: This Tang Dynasty's belly armor small nine palaces are enough, as for such a rare thing as the Yellow Palace, I'm afraid I can't meet it in this life." Bai Lao said, "The reason why I remember it is because when I sent him out, he said it to himself, and I also asked curiously: What is the Yellow Palace of the Back Armor?" ”

When Tang Yi heard this, his heart suddenly set off a storm, could it be?! Don't??!! Don't???!!!

Bai Lao glanced at Tang Yi, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, you continue." Tang Yi tried his best to stabilize his mind, "It's just a little surprised." ”

"Okay, then I'll move on." Bai Lao nodded, "The person dressed as a Taoist priest told me that the Yellow Palace on the back of the armor is the back armor of a turtle born in the Nine Palaces, and then it is polished and engraved with gossip as a spiritual object that communicates with the sky, also known as the Yellow Palace." Only Pan Geng of the Shang Dynasty had a piece when he was king, and it is said to have been handed down! ”

Pan Geng is a very famous king of the Shang Dynasty, Pan Geng moved to Yin, and moved the capital to the place of "Yin", so the Shang Dynasty is also called Yin Shang.

Before the Shang Dynasty in Pangeng, the relocation was frequent. The Shang capital was first in Bo, and in the next 300 years, it moved a total of five times, but all of them were in the territory of today's Central Plains Province. The main reason for moving the capital is that there are often civil strife within the royal family because of the struggle for the throne, and then the Central Plains Province is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which has frequent floods, and even a big flood actually flooded the capital!

After Pangeng moved to Yin, the Shang capital actually settled down.

"This so-called Beijia Yellow Palace is related to Pangeng Qianyin. The sorcerers of the Shang Dynasty had a lot of power, and many important things were decided by the Shang king and the sorcerers. Seeing that Tang Yi's expression seemed to have eased, Bai Lao didn't ask again.

"It's not a trivial matter, so you have to ask a wizard for divination. I was young at the time, so I asked a lot. The person dressed as a Taoist priest seemed to know a lot, and he was more happy to get a piece of the Tang Dynasty's belly armor Xiaojiugong, so he didn't get tired of it, and told me a lot. However, after so many years, there is no historical record, so I can only remember some approximations. ”

"It is said that before the capital was moved, the Yellow River was flooded, and there was a very famous wizard who accidentally obtained a turtle. The head of the turtle actually has horns, which resembles a dragon's head, and the back armor is born with nine palaces. This wizard was so evil and greedy that he actually killed the turtle, took off the back armor, and carved the Fuxi gossip on the base of the Nine Palaces, making it into an extraordinary piece of armor. ”

"With this Divine Tortoise Armor, this wizard became the number one holy witch around Pan Geng. Later, when Pangeng planned to move the capital, the Holy Witch used this piece of back-armor Yellow Palace to communicate with the sky, and finally settled on the place of 'Yin' as the new capital of Shang! ”

"After the relocation of the capital, the capital has not suffered serious flooding. However, it is said that the holy witch died suddenly after the capital was moved. Pan Geng heard about the Divine Turtle, combined with the violent death of the Holy Witch, he didn't dare to leave this piece of Yellow Palace, but threw himself into the Yellow River! ”

"At the end of the Shang Dynasty, the king of Zhou was tyrannical, it is said that this piece of the Yellow Palace was obtained by King Wen of Zhou Ji Chang, King Wen of Zhou, such as the treasure, through a lot of things, thus establishing the Great Zhou. Later, I heard that this Yellow Palace was still in the hands of Qin Shi Huang! ”

However, the man dressed as a Taoist priest stopped abruptly at this point. He also said to me: You are young, you know a lot of this! After saying that, he drifted away. ”

Bai Lao recalled so much, he was a little tired, and after finishing speaking, he drank several sips of tea.

It seems that Bai Lao doesn't know about the Xuanhuang Magic Lamp. But at this time, Tang Yi already understood everything in his heart! It's just a legend, but it's basically consistent with what you know and experience!

First of all, Tang Wuxin also took the trouble to inquire: In ancient times, the Yellow Palace had the meaning of a psychic place to communicate with the heavens. Now, what Bai Lao heard from the mouth of the person dressed as a Taoist priest is more specific: the Yellow Palace on the back of the armor, the Yellow Palace is the back armor of the divine turtle!

Moreover, Mu Wushuang said the mantra: Kunlun sunrise, the moon is like a pearl, the earth is strong, and the burden is carried by the scum. Isn't this a dragon's head turtle body? The so-called scumbag also seems to refer to tortoise shells!

Finally, it is implemented on the Tianli Zilong diagram. Purple is derived from the purple essence of the sea, and the dragon should be derived from the turtle! One of the nine sons of the dragon!
