Chapter 535: The Divine Martial Jade Book Contains Mysteries
By combining the two bamboo slips into one, the above narrative is finally complete.
This bamboo slip is a relatively intact ancient manuscript of the Qin period. The person who burned it was none other than Emperor Jimmu Xu Fu, and although this bamboo slip was miraculously preserved, some parts of the bamboo slip were no longer easy to distinguish.
But these did not affect Ye Yu's reading and decipherment, and the content on it did state the matter of the blood curse, which confirmed the original speculation that money would not be exchanged with Ye Yu.
The reason why it is called decipherment is because it not only uses the seal characters of the Qin period, but also plays the key game of words, which is strikingly similar to the map of Luojian Mountain at the beginning.
Ye Yuxin said that the people of the Qin Dynasty, how could they play word games at every turn, is this a pretending behavior that highlights their superb knowledge?
In addition to a brief description of the blood curse, it also records some secrets of the Qin Emperor's period, and there is an overview of the three major Japanese artifacts.
Regarding the matter of the three major artifacts in Japan, Ye Yu was not surprised, because he had traveled to Japan in later generations and had also seen and heard about the legendary three major artifacts.
It's just that of the three major artifacts at that time, only the Eight Mirrors were genuine, and the rest of the Kusanagi Sword and Qiong Goyu were lost in the war.
Together, the Kusanagi Sword, the Yataga Mirror, and the Qiongomatama are known as the "Three Artifacts" and have been used as tokens of the Japanese Imperial Family for more than a thousand years.
These three artifacts, referred to as the symbol of the sword, mirror, and seal, are also a symbol of Japanese imperial power.
These three artifacts are worshiped as gods by the people, and they are also endowed with various legends of divine power, and they are a kind of spiritual pillar in Japan.
However, this is just a myth concocted by the Japanese people to prove that the emperor is not a human being, but a god.
In the eyes of the Japanese, these three artifacts are all relics left behind by the creation god of their country, and there are various records to support this.
Before Ye Yu saw this bamboo slip, he would think that these three major artifacts originated from the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms in the Central Plains.
Because in the so-called official history "Three Kingdoms" and "Book of Liang" and other documents, it is not true that Qiong Goyu, one of the three major artifacts, is listed as a gift to Japan during the Cao Wei period.
There has always been a debate on this issue.
One is that the official history of the Central Plains attributed a good thing to the Celestial Empire to give favors, so as to highlight the merits of conceiving barbarians.
One is that the Japanese people vetoed this argument and strongly supported the spiritual pillar of their country's orthodoxy, and there are many documents that have become evidence of the argument.
When Ye Yu first involved this issue, out of a patriotic Han sentiment, he naturally instinctively believed that these three major artifacts originated in Middle-earth and were introduced to Japan during the Cao Wei period.
Because this is not only recorded in the so-called historical data, but also enough to reflect the fraternity of Chinese culture.
However, now when Ye Yu saw this deciphered bamboo slip, he realized a truth, that is: the official history is not true, the myth may be false, and no one can figure out the truth behind it, leaving only the fingers and strokes of historians!
The deciphered bamboo slips briefly describe the origin of the three major artifacts, which came from the Central Plains and were brought to Japan with Emperor Jimmu.
These three treasures were owned by Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, and Xu Fu was taken away when he was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to go to sea in search of the elixir of life, and after arriving in Fusang, they were regarded as private by the Japanese.
Since then, he has been regarded as a god-like existence in the eyes of the Japanese people. And on the basis of this high level of worship, it is also endowed with a legendary story.
At present, the three major artifacts of the Kusanagi Sword, the Yaga Mirror and the Qiong Goyu are stored in the Atsuta Shrine, the Ise Shrine, and the Imperial Palace respectively, and this is even more convinced of Ye Yu's original thoughts.
At the beginning, Iori, Magatama, and Ying Juezi were famous craftsmen in the Qin Imperial Palace, and Qiong Gouyu, one of the three major artifacts, should be derived from this craftsman named Magata. Because it is very common in history to name a thing that is cast after a craftsman.
As for the grass pheasant sword, for Ying Juezi, a swordsmith of the Ying family who is famous for casting swords, it should be forged by him.
As for the Yatsugamu, the Ise god enshrined may be taken from the homonym of Iori!
……
In the Japanese palace prison, Ye Yu slowly walked to a sturdy cell. Because there is an important prisoner imprisoned here, that is, the former Taisei Kiyomori.
In the cell, Ping Qingsheng was already full of exuberance, and he had long lost his original look, and when he heard the cell door unlocked and opened, he looked towards the cell door habitually.
Seeing that it was Ye Yu who came in, he immediately got up and saluted Ye Yu: "The criminal minister knocks to see the bachelor!" ”
"Okay, you don't have to be like this, Ben Hou came here today to ask you something......
"Lord Scholar asks, the sinner knows everything and says everything!"
Ye Yu saw that Ping Qingsheng's attitude was still so humble at this time, and he was very satisfied in his heart, so he said: "Ben Hou wants to know, how much do you know about the bamboo slips that have been circulated in your country?" ”
"Bamboo slips?"
Ping Qingsheng was obviously a little confused by Ye Yu's question, and then he muttered a little, and asked tentatively: "What Lord Bachelor said is the Shenwu Jade Book of our country?" ”
"Shenwu Jade Book? Uh, yes, it's this Shenwu Jade Book, tell me what you know! ”
Ping Qingsheng's words aroused Ye Yu's thoughts, before he came to this prison, he had heard Miko Akinomiya say that the broken bamboo slip seemed to be called the Shenwu Jade Book.
This name made Ye Yu feel very speechless, and he said in his heart that a bunch of broken things had to be said to be artifacts, but the extremely ordinary Qin Shi bamboo slips were used to having a lofty name such as 'Shenwu Jade Book'.
"How could Lord Scholar know about the Shenwu Jade Book?"
"Ping Qingsheng, you have to be clear, it was Ben Hou who asked you again, not you who questioned Ben Hou!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The sinner knows that he is wrong......"
Ping Qingsheng's face changed slightly, but he hesitated, and then pondered for a moment before he said in a deep voice: "This Shenwu Jade Book is a note handed down by Emperor Shenmu, the founder of our country, and it has always been enshrined in the Emperor's Palace by the people of our country. The succession of power in successive emperors is also used as a symbol, which is equivalent to ...... The jade seal of the kingdom equivalent to the Celestial Empire......"
"Ping Qingsheng, if you don't want the Ping clan to become extinct, it's best not to go around in circles with Benhou. You should know that Ben Hou is not the kind of person who is easy to fool, and in today's Ping clan, life and death are things that Ben Hou said a word! ”
Ye Yu saw that Ping Qingsheng had not entered the topic for most of the day, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, because what Ping Qingsheng had just said, he already knew it from Miko Qiumiya.
At the beginning, Ye Yu said that the reason why Miko Akinomiya was not honest enough was because of a bamboo slip worthy of Ping Qingsheng's scramble, how could it be as simple as it seemed?
Although he didn't find any specific secrets after he deciphered the contents of the bamboo slips, Ye Yu believed that there must be something important that he didn't understand and ignored.
After asking Miko Akinomiya to no avail, he came here to find Kiyomori.
The younger generation of the royal family may really not know the secret, but Ye Yu believes that Ping Qingsheng, who is committed to competing for bamboo slips, must know some unknown secrets.
