Chapter 7 Wuxi Barbarians

Ma Tan looked at the results of his hard work for several days, this silk book, because it was written with a quill pen, compared with the large characters written with a brush, it looked particularly exquisite, and he was very satisfied!

Ma Tan thought about it, or gave this silk book a name, at the bottom of the blank space, lifted the brush and wrote the four small block letters "Dream Book of Heaven", and then rolled it up very carefully and hid it.

The reason why Ma Tanqi wrote such a title is because no one in the world can read this book!

Even if someone can guess part of the text from the shape of those simplified characters, no one should be able to understand the meaning of the sentences and paragraphs here.

The calligraphy of this silk book looks very beautiful, because it is written with a quill pen in simplified Chinese calligraphy, which is unique at that time!

There should be no one who can fully recognize simplified characters, even if someone takes this silk book to study, they can't read it, it's tantamount to a heavenly book!

Ma Jian went out with his brother Ma Liang for study this time, which was originally fun, but he didn't expect to have an accident like being bitten by a snake.

After a long period of coma, many people will experience abnormal conditions such as amnesia and possession.

Not only did Ma Tan not lose his memory, but he had an extra memory in a dream out of thin air, but whether this matter was good or bad, a curse or a blessing, Ma Tan had no bottom in his heart.

Zhang Jiao's divinely endowed "Taiping Sutra", the death and extinction of the clan, is a lesson from the past! Ma Tan decided to keep the things in his dream secret, and he also kept the "Book of Heaven in the Dream" a secret.

Although Ma Tan was also a scholar, because the books at that time were too rare and the family collection was limited, he was not lucky enough to read a wide range of books, and he also read several classics collected by the Ma clan, as well as the bamboo slips that were incomplete in half of the room.

In Ma Tan's memory, there are many descriptions of dreams in the book, and the one that impresses him the most is the story of "Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly".

Zhuangzi fell asleep one day and found himself transformed into a butterfly, flying around freely. When I woke up, I realized that it was a dream, so I thought: "I don't know that (Zhuang) Zhou's dream is a butterfly? The dream of butterflies is (Zhuang) Zhou Zhen? ”

Ma Tan's dream is an illusory but very real life experience. Just like Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, the ancients were often shocked by bizarre and grotesque dreams and felt confused.

Dreams are a singular phenomenon, and the experience of dreaming is also shared by people. But in human culture, the understanding of dreams has always been a mystery, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.

In some bamboo slip fragments, Ma Tan saw the record of the dream, and often regarded the dream as a divine instruction or the devil's work.

Even in the civilized society in which Ma Tan lived in his dream, there were still many superstitions about dreams. In his high school studies, he learned about ancient cultures, and there were many stories about dreams.

Such as "Zhuang Sheng's Dream of Butterflies", "Huangliang A Dream", "Dream of Pen Flowers", "Nanke a Dream", etc., are all dream stories that have always been talked about.

Ma Tan has had countless dreams, but such a bizarre dream like this one, everything he touches in the dream is so real that it can even be verified, just like the knowledge he really learned, he still can't let go of it for a long time!

In the end, Ma Tan attributed what he learned in his dreams to the gift of heaven in his dreams!

He even has some self-satisfaction in his heart, and some expectations, after all, all the characters who get God's gift in their dreams are amazing big people!

What Ma Tan learned in the dream has been recorded, and it will be slowly confirmed in the future, now that his body has recovered, he will continue to study abroad.

After everything was sorted out, Ma Yan's heart was no longer stressed, and he soon fell asleep.

After Meimei slept for a long time, after getting up and washing up the next morning, Ma Tan came to her brother Ma Liang's guest room early.

Although Ma Liang is studying abroad, his habit of reading every morning has not changed, and when he opened the door to Ma Tan, he just signaled Ma Jian to come in, or held a silk book in his left hand, and there were words in his mouth.

Although he didn't make a sound, Ma Yan, who was familiar with Ma Liangchang's habits, knew that his brother was reciting poems and books, and he was afraid that it would affect the people here to recite in a low voice.

Ma Jian didn't bother, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, waiting patiently. After a long time, Ma Liang put down the book and asked:

"You're already in good health? What's going on here? ”

Ma Jian knows that his brother Ma Liang attaches the most importance to etiquette, even if it is between brothers, he has to give etiquette every day, showing the scene of "brothers, friends and brothers". So, Ma Tan replied very respectfully to the mortals:

"With Brother Lao's concern, the younger brother is already in good health, and there is no hindrance to the walk, so I hereby ask my brother to show me where the next place for our study tour is, and we can prepare in advance."

After listening to Ma Tan's question, Ma Liang did not answer, but tapped on the table with his middle finger, and fell into deep thought.

"Young Chang, your snake venom attacks the heart, and your body is just raised, so you are looking for it to leave, are you homesick?"

Although Ma Jian went out for the first time, he was not homesick, so naturally he said to Ma Liang according to the truth:

"It's only been less than two months since I went out, and my little brother is not homesick yet, but after being bitten by a snake this time, I have been recuperating here for seven or eight days.

Ma Liang listened to Ma Yan's answer, and said casually, "It's good if you don't want to go home!" Then he said to Ma Jian without asking the question:

"Do you know what this place is?"

Ma Tan was a little confused, because before he and Ma Liang went out to study, they had made a detailed itinerary, and according to the plan, they should have entered the area of Xiongxi in Wuling Mountain.

After all, it was the first time he had gone far away, and Ma Jian said in a somewhat uncertain tone:

"We should have entered the Xiongxi area of Wuxi Barbarians, the river where I was bitten by the snake that day should be the famous Xiongxi, right?"

This time Ma Liang did not pause and replied quickly:

"Yes, that's Xiongxi, Shamoke who saved you with the antidote that day, is not only the heir of Shajiazhai, but also the young chief of the entire Xiongxi tribe, so this time our study tour itinerary really has to make a big change."

Wuxi Barbarian, also known as "Wuling Barbarian". Ma Jian is no stranger, and they have already done in-depth knowledge before coming here.

There are many barbarians living in the Wuling Mountains, because they live in Xiongxi, Zhangxi, Chenxi, Youxi, and Wuxi, so they are called Wuxi barbarians.

Wuxi barbarians are actually the "Three Miao Country" established by the Sanmiao tribe in ancient times.

The Sanmiao Kingdom and the Huandou tribe get along well. In the later years of Emperor Yao, the Huandou tribe recommended Gonggong to inherit Yao's throne. Yao Ren Gonggong is an engineer. During the regency of Emperor Shun, the Huandou tribe and the co-workers were exiled to the Sanmiao Kingdom by Shun on the charge of "murderous clan".

The Sanmiao tribe and Yaozi Danzhu conspired to rebel and failed, and the Huandou tribe moved south. During the reign of Emperor Shun, the Sanmiao tribe collapsed, and most of them moved to the Wuling Mountains.

When Emperor Yu was in power, Emperor Yu led his troops to conquer Sanmiao. Sanmiao was defeated and fused with the indigenous barbarians, which was the predecessor of the "Wuxi Barbarian".
