Chapter III. Sword asked Beiyan 101
The outrageous tragedy caused by Qu Xiucai alone is not the work of a scholar at all; As for Jianghu Dao, he is even farther away. But just look at his willingness to gamble and lose, but he can be called a 'good gambler'!
If you lose, you lose, Qu Xiucai didn't even say a word of nonsense, and pushed the dagger into her throat cleanly, and her body instantly fell to the ground, and after a few weak convulsions, there was no more sound......
Shen Gui will even have the heart to die! He thought that what he had left behind was the 'scholar' Venerable who had the most dazzling eyes and was the most greedy for life and afraid of death, but he never expected that such a 'scholar' who had embarked on the evil path would also retain such a noble character of 'death for a confidant'......
However, although the death of this old song took away a lot of secrets, it also left a new clue for Shen Gui - the pig-headed dragon jade jade pendant.
The shape of this pig-headed dragon, whether it is in Youbei Third Road, or in the Northern Yan Dynasty, or even in Nankang, where a hundred flowers are full of flowers, there is no craftsman who can carve such an old style for a long time! Now in the entire Huayu continent, only the jade craftsmen from the Mobei grassland have the knife skills to carve such a unique shape!
The pig-headed dragon, also known as the jade pig dragon, is the 'most fashionable' shape in the Mobei grassland. However, the origin of this special form is very complicated, dating back to the 'ancient period' of shamanism, and it is said that the 'dragon', a 'supreme' fictional beast, was even inspired by this unique shape.
Moreover, this pig-headed dragon shaped artifact is usually believed by shamans to be related to the two stars of the Beidou and the North Pole; However, the reason for this statement is probably because of its shape of a hook like a full moon.
The pig is a creature that, in the ancient teachings of shamanism, is the embodiment of the deity of Mother Earth. According to legend, Mother Earth gave her amazing reproductive ability in order to feed her 'children' in the world and to give the pig, an animal with super survival ability, and it has also been recorded in shamanic texts: in ancient times, if a shaman encounters a prayer ceremony for praying for a good harvest, smooth childbirth, asking for children, etc., he usually chooses a complete sow as a sacrificial offering, a piece of jade in the shape of a pig's head and a dragon, as a spiritual weapon for the shaman; In this way, they will be able to communicate with Mother Earth and pray to the gods for protection......
And with the passage of time, the shamanism of the three roads in the north has begun to pursue another new set of rules; However, the shamanic branch of the Mobei grassland still follows the traditional ancient rites in some aspects.
As we all know, the men of the Mobei grassland are all brave and good at fighting, and they are skilled in bows and horses; If it weren't for the fact that there is a Great Wall that runs east and west to block it, maybe the fast horse under the crotch and the scimitar in the palm of the Mobei boy would have been invincible in the hinterland of the Huayu Continent!
However, in addition to a wide city wall, the main reason why the grassland men cannot dominate the world is because they are sparsely populated and have a serious shortage of reserve soldiers! The reason why the 'pig-headed dragon' ornament is the most popular in the Mobei grassland is that they want to use this totemic belief to ask for an 'auspiciousness' from the 'Mother Earth', asking her to bless the healthy growth of the children of the grassland, and that every family can have a hundred children and grandchildren in their tents......
Looking at the 'suicide' Qu Xiucai in front of him, he should be around forty years old, and he was in Yanjing City back then, after committing the tragedy, he hid in hiding for eight years; in this way, the year when this Qu Xiucai killed people and took the jade, Shen Gui was almost ten years old.
And judging from the color of this jade pendant alone, the grassland man who gave it to the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites would never be a person of humble status. But now, the people related to this 'pig's head dragon pendant' have all died cleanly;! And the steppe man has not yet surfaced. So this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
Shen Gui stood in a pool of blood on the second floor of the inn, and played with this jade pendant for a long time with great pity, and finally put it away closely.
The truth that wealth is not exposed, he has long been familiar with it!
Shen Gui didn't care to think about the young man who went out of the city to buy ducks, and when he returned to the inn, he saw four dead bodies with no heads in the room, what would be his reaction! Anyway, Shen Gui is also traveling with makeup today, and he is not afraid of being recognized by him at all!
After going out for a turn, it was only a pillar of incense, and Shen Gui seemed to have returned from purchasing, carrying a big wet cloth bag and 'jumping' back into the small courtyard where everyone was temporarily staying.
"Qi Erfat, don't you want to avenge Dayan? Get out of the 'receiving'! ”
Shen Gui threw the cloth bag in his hand to the ground in high spirits, and then ignored Qi Hui, who was shouting, but walked to Zhang Wen who was covered with his eyes and ears covered, stretched out his hand and patted his face, and pulled out the cloth stuffed in his ears:
"I said the amorous Zhang Dadao, your hand borrowed a knife to kill, and you had a really good time! You lured me to the Willow Inn because you wanted me to help you get rid of the four 'evil ghosts' who were watching you, right? As for the work, I've just done it; As for those things in the Huashen Sect, I won't bother your old man! In a while, I will also 'please' this head of yours, and then put on an auspicious shape of 'five sons Dengke' for you, and bury it under this big locust tree in the courtyard together! ”
After finishing speaking, Shen Gui shook his head a few more times, walked to Erlinzi in the distance, and whispered in his ear:
"You can help me find a whetstone in the back kitchen first, and then find the biggest bone cleaver! Then tell your little brothers to dig a big pit near the big locust tree! I don't want to dig the pit so carefully, but the process of digging is hot and lively! ”
Er Linzi rolled his eyes, and immediately understood that Shen Gui wanted to 'catch the toad and take out the last drop of urine', so he happily recruited a few little brothers and went to the market to buy tools......
Almost half a pillar of incense passed, and Shen Gui once again removed the cover from Zhang Wen's eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
In fact, since Shen Gui left the courtyard, this Zhang Wen has been tied up by Erlinzi and those brothers, and under the strong request of the eldest lady Li Le'an, his eyes that are rolling around and his big mouth full of nonsense have also been covered. At this time, as soon as he suddenly saw the sun, his tears were naturally shaken out by the sun......
Although the eyesight cannot be restored for a while; But as soon as the two ears were removed, the noise in the courtyard could be heard......
"Ah......h Ulla...... Ula ......"
Even if Zhang Wen is not a worker, he has gone to the market to buy pork; At this time, he heard this piercing sound in his ears, and it was clear that someone was sharpening a knife next to him! After his eyesight gradually recovered, he saw the familiar Shen Gui, who was sitting on a bench not far away, seriously sharpening a bone-cutting knife repeatedly; And under an old locust tree behind him, there were several young men with shirtless bodies and white smoke, all standing in a pit that was not big or small, shouting trumpets and carrying loess out of the pit one by one......
But the most terrifying thing is the four human heads neatly placed at his feet!
Shen Gui, who was sharpening his knife, seemed to sense his surprise; The work in his hands did not stop, but with an amiable smile on his face, he beckoned to Zhang Wen, whose facial features were distorted:
"You've got your eyes back, right? The 'old brothers' under their feet have also seen it, right? You 'five brothers', since they are all from the Huashen Sect, can barely be regarded as people in the same way! Today, you really fulfill the old saying, 'Do not ask to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day'! Just now, I even specially asked people to buy back two jars of good wine! We will use half of it when you are on your way, and we will not waste the remaining half, and when I have personally added the last handful of loess to you, we will pour all the good wine on your graves......"
In fact, in Zhang Wen's mind, his little life has already been 'ransomed' at the cost of a mouthful of front teeth! But now, this seemingly wealthy young master didn't know that he would become a 'spicy hand butcher'; not only did he take down the heads of four Demon Slaying Venerables in such a short period of time, but now he even skillfully sharpened his bone-cutting kitchen knife! And listening to the meaning of his words, it turned out that he wanted to bury these five heads, including himself, together in the grave......
"Wait! Why five heads! Isn't there still Lao Yao? ”
Zhang Wen's 'off-line' response really caught Shen Gui off guard! Even the 'murderous aura' he had just worked so hard to create was completely broken by his question......
“…… That Yao Lao Dao, who can refine pills, isn't it the 'Entry Level' cultivated by your kid himself? What's wrong? I don't need it, and I don't want him to fall into the hands of others? Take a big living person to be buried, you are quite extravagant to die! But I don't have as much pomp as you! As the saying goes, there is a debtor and a debtor, and he is just an ordinary 'technical talent', who neither recruited me nor provoked me, so why should I ruin his life? ”
"But I didn't provoke you! I can say everything that should be said and what should not be said! Look at my mouth again...... I've been beaten like this by you, so your old man will be merciful and spare the villain's life! ”
Shen Gui didn't answer him, but raised the kitchen knife in his hand and looked at it carefully; And Er Linzi is also a tooth man who is good at observing words and feelings, so he naturally understands the truth of acting on the spot. He climbed out of the pit with his two little brothers, carried a big tree stump 'hey, hey, hey', and asked Shen Gui's opinion 'in a low voice':
"The auspicious time has come, do you want to do it yourself? Or will the brothers do the work for you? ”
