Chapter 41: The Fence Hairpin
Ah Tao nodded thoughtfully: "So, this book of hundred clans is equivalent to the book of life of those clans." ”
Yin Heng thought about it seriously: "So to speak. ”
Ah Tao thought of the three noble sons of the side branches of the Sheng clan who had deliberately made things difficult for them.
Although Yin Heng is a concubine, although she is just a ghost sacrifice, but after all, the two of them are still the people around Gongzi, these three people dare to make things difficult so fearlessly, presumably the confrontation between the royal family and the Xiang family has reached a very serious point.
"Why didn't the emperor directly cross out the Xiang clan from the book of the hundred clans, so that he wouldn't have to make a lot of effort to form a gang to deal with the Xiang clan?"
"He can't, and he doesn't dare!" a tall and loyal young man, with his hands behind his back, walked out of the main entrance of the library pavilion in slow steps, it was Luan Chang.
Ah Tao looked up at Luan Chang, only to find that they had unknowingly walked to the entrance of the library pavilion.
The guards who led the way waved their hands to Luan Chang and then retreated, and Ah Tao and Yin Heng stepped forward and bowed to Luan Chang to say hello.
Lord Luan picked up the two of them and looked at Ah Dao: "Last time the boat banquet, the official was unable to go, and today I finally saw the sacrifice of the Xiang clan, your name is Ah Dao?"
It's much kinder than Adao imagined.
Ah Dao's spirit was shocked, he straightened his waist, and replied energetically: "Yes, my lord, Gongzi ordered the slave to come and help the adult find out the case of the disappearance of the dancing girl!" and added, "The dancing girl disappeared that day, and the slave was also in Xunfu, witnessing the whole process, if the adult has any questions about the case, you can ask the slave at any time." ”
Luan Chang and Yin Heng couldn't help but laugh when they saw Ah Dao's high-spirited appearance.
Luan Chang replied: "Okay, then before this case is over, you will follow me." ”
"Yes!"
"But my lord, why did you say that the emperor couldn't and didn't dare to directly cross out the name of the Xiang clan in the Hundred Clans Book?" Ah Tao turned the topic back to before, obviously still unfinished about the matter of the Hundred Clans Book.
Lord Luan's thick and dark eyebrows narrowed slightly: "The Book of Hundred Clans was created and transcribed by the Yellow Emperor himself more than 2,600 years ago, after the birth of the first clan of mankind, the Xiang clan, and the original intention was to establish a clan system that could assist and supervise the emperor's diligent governance. ”
A few months later, the dynasty was gone, and the overthrow was in an instant, thinking that the Yellow Emperor had applied the spell of heaven on it when he created the book of hundred clans, in order to prevent such things from happening. ”
"In the past few thousand years, the dynasties have changed, the hundred clan books have been passed down in the hands of countless emperors, and countless clans have gone forward and succeeded each other in the hundred clan books, leaving the old and leaving the new. ”
"And the Xiang clan is the clan that will always stand at the top and stand tall on this battlefield. When Luan Chang said this, there was a strong look of worship and awe in his and Yin Heng's eyes.
Ah Tao listened to it with relish, and couldn't help but be in awe.
Yin Heng looked at Ah Tao and said, "This is also the reason why we, the clans of the Xiang clan, know that the Xiang clan has the great hidden danger of the curse, but we still follow the Xiang clan wholeheartedly. A top-level clan that can stand for thousands of years, I don't believe that it can be destroyed just because of a world curse. ”
Ah Dao thought thoughtfully: "What is the relationship between the book of the hundred clans and the Yin clan being called the childish clan?"
Yin Heng replied: "The Yin clan benefits from the support of the Xiang clan, and it is the only small clan that is listed in the book of the hundred clans, so it is naturally easier to attract people than other clans. ”
He showed a helpless smile: "For hundreds of years, the Yin clan has been dependent on the Xiang clan to live, because my clan is weak, so the power of the Xiang clan is extremely limited, the Xiang clan gives the Yin clan protection, but the Yin clan has not been able to provide equivalent auxiliary power, and there are occasional things that drag down the Xiang clan." ”
"It may not be an exaggeration to call us childish people to survive by clinging to stronger people and have no other use. Yin Heng laughed at himself.
Ah Tao shook his head: "You're not right, they call you childish people, not because they think that the Yin clan is unworthy, but because they are jealous." ”
Yin Heng was stunned: "But we really didn't have any assistance to the Xiang clan, and what they said was not entirely wrong......
Ah Tao disagreed: "The Xiang clan has stood for thousands of years, there is a reason for it, the Xiang clan has always protected the Yin clan, there must be a reason that we don't know, the Xiang clan has never minded, why should the Yin clan be so self-light." ”
Yin Heng and Luan Chang were thoughtful, Ah Dao's words did sound a little reasonable.
Luan Chang couldn't help but glance at Ah Tao deeply.
After gossiping, Yin Heng said goodbye to Luan Chang and Ah Dao, and rushed back to Xiangfu alone to resume his life.
Ah Tao followed Luan Chang in the library and helped Luan Chang continue to find information related to the disappearance of Mai Ji.
As the tanuki slave said to Inato, the only way to lift the pre-death curse of that month was to retrieve the missing dancing girl and dance the Fengluan Blessing Dance again.
But in order to find Maihime, you have to know who captured Maihime, or why Maihime suddenly disappeared in public.
Ah Tao flipped through the books in the library pavilion at will, and she found that this library pavilion was very large, with several floors, the hidden drawers of the Zhu Pavilion, all kinds of different binding carriers, and thousands of books from different dynasties.
Among the books on display, there are some precious ancient books whose names have only been heard in the outside world, but have long been lost.
Tao Weng, the director of the Ghost Courtyard came and held a roll of bamboo slips that looked old, full of quaintness, and slightly yellowed.
He presented this bamboo slip in front of Luan Chang, who was buried in the book: "Lord Luan, this is the page of the "Ghost Search Record" you are looking for. ”
This is the fifth volume of the "Ghost Search Record", the chapter on mundane things. ”
Luan Chang raised his head and stretched out his hand to take it: "Thank you Tao Weng." ”
Tao Weng bowed slightly and leaned aside.
Luan Chang walked to a bookcase in the library and slowly spread out the bamboo slips in his hand, and Ah Tao also stepped forward to take a look.
A white hosta condensed from white jade into several hedge petals, the center of which is decorated with blood-red dots like red plums, is vividly presented on the bamboo slips.
Ah Tao was a little surprised.
The hairpin painted on the bamboo slip is exactly the same as the white hosta on the Xunfu and the ceremony.
Ah Dao's eyes moved to the handwriting on the side of the white hosta, which clearly wrote the words "Fence Hairpin" in Lishu style.
Fence hairpin......
The name is familiar.
Fence ...... Fence Yard!
Ah Dao's heart trembled violently.
Her gaze raced along the lines of small words next to the three large characters.
When I finished reading it, I was amazed.
Could it be that the white hosta on the ceremony is actually an old thing from the old moon fence?
Is it this fence hairpin?!
