Chapter 71 (5) The Mission
"It should be related," Mo Xiaojie nodded, "If it's just for those rhino horn ivory, it's not worth following for generations." www.biquge.info At that time, my ancestors, on the orders of the chief, left their hometown to conduct secret reconnaissance, and the leader gave a jade plaque engraved with the word 'holy', indicating that the mission was secret and sacred, and the person who carried out the task, the male, was called the Holy Father, and the female, was called the Virgin. β
Ah Hu's father suddenly stood up and bowed to Mo Xiaojie.
Everyone was surprised, and Ah Hu's father said: "Since there is this jade plate, then the leader of the clan at that time must have passed on an order to let the whole clan give special respect and support to the person who holds this jade plate, so that they can successfully complete the task." It's just that because of the long time and the vicissitudes of the world, this order has not been handed down, and now you are the holder of the jade plate, and I, as the head of the village, represent the nearby Miao family, and I will definitely give full assistance in this matter, what are the arrangements, you just speak. β
"Brother Meng, times have changed, and there is no need to stick to the old rules of the past."
"No, the outdated and useless old rules are naturally not rigid, but the useful traditions can be passed on. Your family deserves the respect of your family for their self-denial and dedication to the whole clan. β
Heavy rain ran into the house, after a while, took out a small jade card, everyone came over, just look at the moonlight, the jade plate is only an inch square, the whole body is dark green, because the light is dim, can not see the good or bad, there is a word faintly engraved on it, Zhang Xiaoliu said: "This is not pronounced 'sacred'." β
"This is NΓΌshu," Mr. Mo said.
"By the way," the little ghost remembered something, "Mo Xiaojie, do you know all those strange female books?" β
"Yes."
"Hey, that's great," the little clever smashed his right fist into the palm of his left hand, "The broken book that Shi Suo got was translated by Heavy Rain last time, and I didn't finish it, so when you go to Changsha, let's take a good look at it." β
"What broken book?"
"That's right," Jiang Yuniang said, "We seized a book, which is said to have been taken from the Miao people after the war, and was preserved by a master surnamed Yi under King Zhao. β
"What?" Mo Xiaojie stood up and said in surprise, "Where is that book?" β
"It's in Changsha, when you go back, I'll show you by the way, what, is this book important? According to the translation of Dayu, it records the fact that the people of all ethnic groups of the Han and Miao in ancient times lived together and helped each other, as if there was nothing too secret, just like a historical story. β
Mo Xiaojie shook his head and sat on the bench again, "It may be that Heavy Rain is not fully translated, I know this book, it is also part of the treasure, which not only records history, but also records the artifact, our family, traced for several generations, in fact, it is the whereabouts of this artifact that is tracked, it is an item used by the ancestors of the ancient Miao family for sacrifice, it is said that there is a god-given clan symbol on it, according to the orders passed down from generation to generation, this artifact can be psychic and sense the heavens, and the secret talisman on it is a spell that reveals the changes between heaven and earth." β
Ah Hu's father shook his head gently, "Xiaojie, these legends are all ancient times when people believed in gods and ghosts, because they had no knowledge and didn't understand all things, they were conjectured out of thin air, and even I don't believe them, you are a college student, how can you still believe in these?" β
"I don't believe it either," Mo Xiaojie said with a smile: "Of course I know that these are superstitions, but some ancient things are historical records and witnesses, with humanistic value and belief value, if you can find them, it is still very useful for studying history and promoting culture." Of course, I will never spend my life looking for this so-called artifact like my ancestors. β
The little clever was curious, put his hands on his cheeks, and asked, "What does the artifact look like?" Is it more magical than the national seal? β
"It should be a jade gui, according to legend, this thing is not gold or jade, it is a foot long, very heavy, it can shine by itself at night, and it can be viewed under the moon, and it can be seen that there are shadows of rivers, lakes and seas on it, and it is rushing and flowing."
Ah Hu's father shook his head again, "This may be too godly again, how can there be such a magical thing." I have seen a few sacrificial items in ancient times, some pottery, some jade, but very delicate and beautiful, some are engraved with words or paintings, but there will never be such as what Xiaojie said. β
Jiang Yuniang said: "The legend is that it is described as godlike, and it is a normal phenomenon. However, if this is really jade, it is indeed worth a lot of money, not to mention anything else, just such a large piece of jade, it is a rare treasure, if it is engraved with the words or paintings of the ancients, it is even more precious. More importantly, it is the sustenance of the beliefs of the Miao people in ancient times, and its significance cannot be measured by the value of the item itself. Xiaojie, does this artifact have a name? β
"Yes, it's called Jae-gyu."
"Zai Gui, Jae Gui, Gui Zai ......" The little wit turned over and over a few times, the name was quite awkward, and he suddenly had an idea, "Yi Shan's book was mistaken for "Returning to Tibet", is it related to this...... Jae-gyu related? β
Mo Xiaojie said: "In that "National Treasure", it is recorded that this Zaigui is recorded, so the title of the book is called "National Treasure", but in that war, the book and Zaigui were captured by King Zhao's army together, but, fortunately, General Zhou and his army did not know Zaigui, but just regarded it as a general item and snatched it. β
"That's not right," the little ghost asked with wide eyes, "didn't you say how long that thing is a foot, and it shines at night, and there are rivers, lakes and seas or something?" Such a good thing, a fool will also recognize it as a baby, General Zhou, are they blind? β
"It was disguised and sealed in a stone statue."
"Xiaojie, this refers to the treasure, and now it has a whereabouts. Ah Hu's father said.
"Huh?" Mo Xiaojie stood up again.
Jiang Yuniang told Mo Xiaojie about all kinds of related things such as Zhou guerrilla paintings and barbarian mountain drawings obtained by Shi Suo and others. And told her that now the pictures, paintings and books are all in Changsha.
Mo Xiaojie was stunned, what generations have been looking for, is it going to show up now? But his mother has died, and the responsibility of discovering the treasure will fall on his shoulders?
"Auntie, you say, this treasure, shall we go to find it?" Heavy rain asked with a raised face.
"No," Mo Xiaojie said resolutely. After listening to Jiang Yuniang's description, her heart turned a few times, and she had already thought about it, "Brother Meng is right, now is the time for troubled times, and the national treasure has not yet been born." (To be continued.) )
