Maozhou is a place where Rong and Han live together.

Maoxian is the seat of Maozhou, here, behind Zhu Li, there are only a few people left, most of the people, after entering Sichuan and Shu, the relatives of the relatives, no relatives to defect, also found a job by the way, after thanking one after another, they left the team.

The carriage that placed Yu Chi Jin, and the people who are still following on the left and right are only Geng Yi, Shu He, Wang Yan, Zhe Silun, Han Xun, Pan Kang, Pan Zaiying, Yi Cun, and an unkempt little lady.

This lady is none other than Zhao Sanshan's daughter Zhao Jiechou; Zhao Sanshan originally wanted to entrust his daughter to Qi Miaoge, after all, in Huayin County, it was Qi Miaoge and his group who repelled the murderous servants and saved their family of four.

What's more, Qi Miaoge is a daughter, and entrusting her with the relief of sorrow can also make Zhao Sanshan and his wife more down-to-earth.

It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, Qi Miaoge suddenly had a stomach attack halfway through, which was very sudden and extremely ferocious, causing a group of them to be left far behind after three steps and five steps.

Even Zhou Ran, who has always been noisy, took the initiative to ask Ying, stayed behind, and took care of the Qi family's lady, although his purpose was not pure, anyone with a discerning eye could see it, but everyone was willing to pretend not to know.

However, Zhou Ran's decision made Shu He feel very relieved, and he sighed that the babies had finally grown up.

Although the four members of the Zhao family were grateful to Qi Miaoge and the others, they did not dare to stay with them, after all, if it was about strength, Zhu Li, Yicun, and Geng Yi were much stronger than Qi Miaoge and his party, and it was safer to follow the three of them, and it was not difficult for them to choose if it was related to the safety of the whole family.

In this way, they followed until the destination, and Zhao Sanshan stood up again, directly imploring Zhu Li to take Zhao Xie sorrow, claiming that his daughter was very beautiful, and once she showed her true face, she would definitely be coveted, which would also bring misfortune to their family.

Zhu Li just thought for a moment, and then gave Zhao Sanshan a hundred taels of silver, so that their family could find a stable place to do some small business, and it would be safe in the future, and it would not be too late to solve the matter of relieving the sorrowful lady.

Leaving the little lady Zhao to relieve her sorrows, Zhu Li turned her hand and stuffed it to Geng Yi, and asked him to take care of it.

Entering Maoxian, there are different styles everywhere, cone-shaped small towers, almost everywhere, that is the Qiang people, a kind of respect for the gods.

In addition, on the street, from time to time, there will be a group, or several groups of dancing gods, these people, their heads are covered with colorful tiger heads, bull heads and other masks, wearing long sacrificial robes, jumping and jumping, as if no one is swaggering through the market, obviously it is also a kind of sacrifice to the gods of the Qiang people.

It can be seen that Zhong Ling's handsome place, even the ethnic customs, are very different.

Around the streets, there were hawkers shouting and hawking, Han Chinese, Qiang people, barbarians, and people of all races.

But among these people, Zhu Li recognized a person at a glance, this person was none other than Zhu Qia, who had a relationship with Zhu Li, the Taoist priest who used to hold his head and run around.

The other party was still dressed in a shabby, airy robe, mixed in with a crowd of vendors, and a pile of jade artifacts were being drummed.

In Huayin City, it was this guy who jumped out first to stop Gu Qingfeng from robbing the people's daughters, and then when he saw so many evil servants rushing up and beating him, he ran away without a trace, but he didn't expect that this person actually ran to Mao County first, and this journey is really not slow.

This is a strange person, Zhu Li can't help it

took a few more glances at his stall, which made Zhu Li very surprised.

I saw that in front of Zhu Qia, there was a coarse cloth of unknown age, and on top of the coarse cloth, there were several exquisite jade objects placed in a similar manner, with a warm luster, jade tendons, and jade flowers clearly visible.

Since there was a one-sided relationship, and they met by chance in a foreign land, they couldn't help but feel cordial, Zhu Li stepped forward, squatted in front of the other party's stall, and said politely: "Sir, are these jade artifacts real?" ”

One sentence provoked Zhu Qia to jump up immediately, his face flushed, as if Zhu Li asked what a big insult it brought him, and immediately retorted: "You little man, even if you look ugly, you can't even speak, when did you sell fake jade?" ”

Without saying a word, I saw him pick up a jade jue, shook it in front of Zhu Li's eyes, and said righteously: "Look at this hardness, and then look at this fracture, you touch it, feel the temperature, weigh the weight, play it, listen to this sound, how can fake jade have such a color?" ”

Looking at the hardness, then looking at the texture, looking at the fracture, checking the temperature, and listening to the sound, these are indeed common ways to distinguish jade, but if you only rely on these aspects, it is still unreliable to determine the authenticity of jade.

However, Zhu Li just wanted to say hello and chat casually with the other party, and didn't care about the other party, whether he was selling real jade or fake jade.

Besides, in this era, most of the people who can afford to buy jade are rich people, dignitaries and the like, and they naturally have their own set of identification methods, and it is not his turn to worry.

Therefore, Zhu Li did not argue with him, but picked up a piece of palm-sized jade with a little thought, and looked at it carefully.

This piece of jade is very exquisite, on the whole jade, a natural tree stands on the top of the sky, and on the left and right of the tree, the clouds are steaming and auspicious.

Between the auspicious clouds, a mighty scorching sun and a bright silver moon are hanging on both sides of the big tree, under the big tree, there are countless ancestors, kneeling between the mountains, paying homage to the sun and the moon non-stop, the whole texture is very magical, ancient.

You know, the pattern of the ancient jade, but it is all natural, there is no trace of artificial carving at all, and I dare not say anything else, this jade, Zhu Li has seven or eight percent certainty, this is a rare and genuine product.

"Xiao Langjun really has eyesight, and he got a piece of rare totem jade with his hand." Looking at Zhu Li's serious expression, Zhu Qia immediately greeted enthusiastically.

"Totem Jade?" Zhu Li was puzzled, this term was the first time he had heard of it.

"What, haven't you heard of it?"

Zhu Li nodded calmly, he had heard of the totem, but he really hadn't heard of the totem jade.

Zhu Qia glanced at him, as if he was lonely and unheard, and then put on an unfathomable expression and said: "In ancient times, in the domain of Jianghan and Han, there were nine tribes, each of which was a nine clans, and the leaders were all chiefs. ”

"The Chinese has a saying, 'Jiuli is chaotic, the people and gods are mixed, and things cannot be squared', and the people of Jiuli believe that all things in nature have spirituality, and they engrave the spiritual objects they believe in on various utensils so that they can worship day and night."

"If you find a natural jade, the texture is prominent, and it happens to be the spiritual object they believe in, it is called totem jade, and it is considered a treasure to worship."

Hearing this, Zhu Li suddenly realized that the name of totem jade came from like this.

In ancient times, the ancestors worshiped all things in nature, and later generations collectively called primitive worship, if the ancestors found that there was a texture of jade, which happened to be the appearance of the gods they believed in, they would think that this was a godsend, and it was called totem jade.

The appearance of totem jade also strengthened their belief in the gods.

The feudal dynasty has the saying of "divine right of the monarch", totem jade for the ancient ancestors, no less than the feudal dynasty's heirloom jade seal, after all, this is indeed a natural totem, is there more convincing than this for the ancestors?

Zhu Qia introduced this, did not stop, but still gushed and elaborated: "Chi You reigned, in the Central Plains, expanded the wilderness, laid the foundation for future generations, and was a hero of the Chinese nation; However, the growing strength of the tribe also brought about the continuous expansion of desires, and Chiyou first defeated Emperor Yan, and then fought fiercely with the emperor in Zhuolu. ”

"Since ancient times, it has been said that a belligerent will be defeated, a belligerent will die, the battle of Zhuolu, Chiyou was defeated and killed, and the Jiuli tribe was scattered; Some of them fled to the north, and after they multiplied and grew, they became the Beihu tribes; Some of them fled to the south and hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and after they multiplied and grew, they formed the ...... of today's Nanban tribes."

"No matter where they fled to, they were called Beihu or Nanban, they still maintained their original beliefs, and the shamans in the Bohai Ya tribe, their predecessors, were the great witches of the Jiuli tribe, and the Ya tribe also inherited the beliefs of Jiuli."

"The Khitan's expedition to sacrifice to the sky and the sacrifice of major events are all in ancient times, and the traditions of the Jiuli tribe are also the external manifestations of the original beliefs, which can be seen that the powerful Khitan also inherited the belief culture of Jiuli."

Speaking of this, Zhu Qia looked at Zhu Li and said solemnly: "Xiao Langjun, after saying so much, do you know what this totem jade in your hand means, right?" ”

When Zhu Li heard this, his expression instantly became solemn.

If it is really as Zhu Qia said, any piece of totem jade can make a foreign race, and countless clansmen seek after and even worship, then the weight of totem jade has to be paid attention to.

In today's Beidi, Nanban, or Xirong tribes, there are many people who still maintain their primitive beliefs, and as long as they find the corresponding totem jade, they can completely induce their people to stand up and subvert the rule of the alien race.

Thinking of this, Zhu Li's expression became more humble, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Sir, then this totem jade in his hand can affect those alien races?" ”

Zhu Qia glanced at Zhu Li approvingly, for the history of primitive beliefs, Zhu Qia only explained slightly, and Zhu Li thought of the great effect that totem jade might bring, and the children could be taught.

In his heart, he said calmly: "The Khitan people advocate the great day, the Nanzhao people advocate the Haoyue, and there are many Xirong people who take mountains and trees as totems, and this totem jade, with mountains, trees, and the sun and the moon, can at least have an effect on these alien races, and how to use it depends on how Xiaolangjun operates." ”

Zhu Qia told him frankly, but it made Zhu Li's favor double, and he said: "This totem jade, I don't know how Mr. plans to sell it?" ”

The role of totem jade is very huge, and Zhu Li, who didn't plan to buy anything, also changed his original intention and wanted to buy it; To put it bluntly, totem jade is definitely another great weapon for dealing with foreign races, and its role is even greater than that of millions of elites.
