Chapter 57 (4) Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots

"Later, the three captains of Su Chenwu, because they charged on the battlefield, all made famous military exploits, after the end of the war, according to the meritorious deeds, General Zhou's merits are naturally the greatest, and the men and horses under his command also have their own rewards, Su Chenwu three captains, got a lot of rewards, the Meng Gong knife, General Zhou was rewarded to the martial school captain."

Everyone listened to it with relish, but the knife seller stopped talking and didn't talk anymore, just drinking tea. Hu Xuan smiled: "Brother, you haven't said it yet, how did this knife fall into the hands of the old Taoist priest?" What kind of character is this old Taoist priest? ”

"Well, the sword is naturally passed down from generation to generation, who is willing to throw away good things at will? The world has passed for hundreds of years, the vicissitudes of life, the world has changed, as for why the owner of the knife became a Taoist, this...... I've just heard people say that everyone is the same, that's all, hehe. ”

He was reluctant to say it, and it was inconvenient for Hu Xuan and the others to ask any further, and after chatting a few more words, the knife seller said goodbye, pushed his hand and pushed the long, and left on the road.

Hu Xuan and the others rested for a while, and talked about the "Meng Gong Knife" said by the knife seller for a while, and felt that it was not like a hypocrisy, A Ning guessed: "I think, that Meng Gong knife, there must be a lot of unusual origins, but this old knife seller, I don't want to reveal too much, I just want to get the whereabouts of the knife, he saw that he couldn't get a clue from us, so he refused to go down and talk about it in detail." ”

Hu Xuan said: "No matter what, this knife used to belong to the Miao family, and now it belongs to the Miao family, which can be regarded as the return of things to the original owner, and the fallen leaves return to the roots." Let's go, Changsha City, these days, I don't know if there are any new changes. ”

When Hu Xuan and the others arrived in Changsha, in the cave of Sanrenxia, Mo Dayu saw Ah Hu, his face was immediately flushed with excitement, and he grabbed his hand, "Ah Hu, why are you here, I can't find you, let the bad guys cheat me, fortunately Uncle Duan rescued them, you came, it's really good." ”

"I know all about it, so I'm here to find you, it's nice to hear you're here."

The two friends talked affectionately and said goodbye to each other, Xu Xiaoliang also came to meet new friends, and the three children talked and laughed, which was lively. Xiao Liang said to Ah Hu: "You can stay too, let's go to school together." ”

Jiang Yuniang, Duan Laosan, Shi Suo, Dafeng and others were all in the cave, and everyone knew that Mo Dayu was the grandson of the "Holy Mother" that Ah Hu said before. Shi Suo first slapped his thigh, "cough," and then slapped the door of his brain, "This thing turned out to be so coincidental, yes, yes, yes, yes." ”

Everyone didn't understand what he meant by "yes, yes, yes", so they saw Shi Suo take three steps and make two steps, ran to the inner room next to him, took out Dalong's "Ban Ce Mujia" and Yi Shan's copy of "Returning to Tibet", put them on the table, and asked Mo Dayu, "Heavy rain, quickly, look at these strange words, do you know these strange words?" ”

"Yes." Heavy rain picked up these two thin books, one is an ancient book, glowing yellow, and the other is a new book, the words on the two books, the curved and twisted, the shape is similar, Da Yu looked at it twice, "Bance Mujia is a Chinese character, and the characters in it, well, it is a female book." This one, which is also a women's book, if the title of the book is translated into Chinese characters, it is called "National Treasure", what does this mean? Is it a story about babies? ”

Hu Xuan has carefully studied these two books, but has never figured out the reason, and these two books have become a mystery in everyone's hearts. At this time, seeing that Dayu really knew the strange words on it, and recognized that it was a female book, the excitement in his heart was indescribable, he sat down at the table and said, "A-Ning, find a pen and paper." ”

Everyone knew that the secret of these two strange books was about to be revealed, and they were all pleasantly surprised, and they all gathered around, and there were people sitting around the wooden table in the hall, and A-Ning found a pen and paper and put it on the table.

Hu Xuan said to Heavy Rain: "Come, let's work together, you tell what is written in the book." ”

"Well," Da Yu nodded, sat down at the table seriously, looked at the two books and said, "Originally, grandma didn't want me to learn women's books, saying that this is a girl's family, I am a boy, so I don't need to learn this, but I was curious, so I followed my aunt to learn some, if my aunt was here, she would definitely know everything." ”

Hu Xuan first took the "National Treasure" that was mistaken for "Returning to Tibet", "Heavy rain, let's translate this first." ”

Heavy rain turned the pages of the book, because the words in the book were copied again, not the original, maybe the person who copied it did not know NΓΌshu himself, so he could only follow the cat and draw the tiger, and roughly describe the shape of each word, coupled with sloppy omissions, so some places are inevitably plausible. Heavy rain recognized it for a while, and slowly said: "Since the Mongolian ...... What invades me, to ...... What is going south, to southern Xinjiang...... What in the mountains. He raised his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Uncle Hu, there are some words I don't recognize." ”

"It's okay," Hu Xuan said excitedly, "It's good that you can roughly string the content to this extent." He raised his head and said to Jiang Yuniang and others: "It seems that the time when this book was written was in the Yuan Dynasty, or after the Yuan Dynasty, what it recorded was because the Mongolian people went south, and some people from the Central Plains moved south, so the story that happened after this is definitely not "Returning to Tibet", there is no doubt about it." ”

"Well, you go ahead."

Heavy rain slowly read the words in the book, and the more he came later, the more words he didn't know, Hu Xuan and he slowly discussed and compared, and reluctantly connected the contents of the book into a general outline.

The main content of the book is to record that in the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, a group of wealthy merchants from the Central Plains moved their families south to the Huguang area, settled down in a tall mountain, and mixed with the local Miao people, these Han people in the Central Plains are knowledgeable, while teaching the local soil humanities and chemistry, but also learn the local customs and culture, in the book, the record is mainly Han and Miao people in the mountains exchange, hunting, sacrifice and so on.

"So, this book was written by the ancestors of the Miao people?" Jiang Yu Niang asked.

"It should be," Hu Xuan nodded, "According to the style and angle of the language in the book, the author is a local Miao person in Lingnan, and I estimate that he is either a local priest or a leading figure in the tribe, because according to the situation at that time, only these people can control the cultural and historical transmission in the Miao village." It is difficult for ordinary people to write such a long article. ”

Sure enough, the more you look down, the more the content recorded in the book, the more in line with the local Miao kiss, the recorder to his own point of view, to describe these Han people, the book said, the Han people have a "full of learning to the gods" of the "big head", know-it-all, can pinch and calculate, know when the moon is eaten by dogs, know how the stars change, will take the spring water under the mountain, with a bamboo made of "magic car", to lead to the mountain, water the fruit trees, so that the crops harvest. Between the words, it is full of admiration for this "fairy-like big man".

Jiang Yuniang said: "Since ancient times, every time the culture learns and integrates with each other, without exception, it promotes the progress of society, and the content of this ancient book is the best testimony that the Han and Miao people learn from each other and promote each other."
