Liu Xiu took out a large handful of red purses from under the pillow, and put it in each child's hand, the red purse reflected the children's red faces, filled with a strong festival of joy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Liu An and Liu Ye took the purse, couldn't wait to take out the big money inside, and chirped: "Sister, sister, help me put it on, help me put it on." ”

The Han Dynasty's New Year's money is called tired of the year, also called tired of winning money, not the common five-baht money on the market, but a special kind of big money, which is cast with a variety of auspicious words, like what "long live the thousand autumns", "the world is peaceful" and the like, and then cast the pattern of various Rui beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, turtles and snakes, it is a kind of mascot, and there is a ring on it, which can be tied with silk and hung around the neck. These big money are made of jingmei, which is a rare plaything for children, and it is also an important object to show off to each other when the time comes.

Cai Yan and Liu He are two older children, after the age of fourteen, according to the current rules, they are adult women who can talk about marriage, but because Liu Xiu is regarded as a selfish request, they don't have to think about so many problems now, and they can mix in the children with peace of mind. Liu He and Liu Xiu stayed together for a long time, and they were in their own home, and they seemed very comfortable, while Cai Yan had followed her Confucian father for too long, and she couldn't let go. When giving those half-grown kids a boredom money, purse your lips and be careful not to have too much physical contact with them.

Liu Xiu looked at the ring in his hand, thinking that the mysterious master called it the Qiankun Ring, he was a little distracted for a while, and his eyes unexpectedly fell on Cai Yan. Cai Yan was very sensitive and didn't dare to raise his head. His face was so red that he felt like he had smeared too much rouge, and even his translucent earlobes were a little red. She wanted to escape, but she didn't dare. After a long while, seeing that Liu Xiu was still looking at her intently, he had to muster up his courage. walked to Liu Xiu's couch and bowed slightly: "What does the general command?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Xian was confused, and was suddenly awakened by Cai Yan, he didn't realize it for a while, opened a pair of big eyes, and looked at Cai Yan innocently: "Zhaoji, what's the matter?" ”

Cai Yan was embarrassed, and his heart was that you kept looking at me. But what did you ask me?

"Big brother, who is this little girl?" Tang Yingzi pushed Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu hurriedly replied: "Oh, she is Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Xijiu, and she is a talented girl. As soon as the word talented woman came out, Liu Xiu suddenly remembered. Since the excavation of the tomb in Guanghan, Cai Yong's father and daughter have been studying the ancient tomb in Guanghan. Because there are many ancient books in Luoyang Lantai, it is impossible to copy them all. Therefore, Cai Yong took a group of people to sort out the cultural relics in Guanghan, while Cai Yan often traveled back and forth between Luoyang and Guanghan to check those fragments. At present, when it comes to the study of ancient history, I am afraid that the red-faced little girl in front of me is the leading expert.

"Akihime, come and show me this ring." Liu Xiu took off the ring in his hand. In the hands of Cai Yan. "There's a line of sigils in there, do you know what that means?"

Cai Yan took the ring, his fluttering heart miraculously calmed down, the blush on his face had not dissipated, but his shy expression instantly turned into a calm and calm, as if he was an old Confucian who had been immersed in learning for many years. She turned on the light, carefully examined the runes in the ring, frowned, and pondered for a moment.

"I haven't seen these talismans, and I won't be able to decipher their meaning for a while, but I've seen similar sigils." Cai Yan said with blazing eyes: "General, I heard that there are three artifacts by your side, in addition to this ring, can you also show me the other two?" ”

Liu Xiu and Mrs. Lu glanced at each other, and without saying a word, one took out a short knife, the other took out a green horn, and both handed them to Cai Yan. Cai Yan was not modest, took it, looked at it carefully, first returned the green horn to Mrs. Lu, shook his head and said: "This artifact should come out later, the text on it is somewhat similar to Yin Qiwen, although it looks clumsy, but after all, it is a text, and compared with the symbols on these two artifacts, it is much later." ”

"Yin Qiwen?" Although Liu Xiu claims to be a master of ancient literature, he doesn't know what Yin Qiwen is.

"It is the inscription on the Yin Shang artifact, which was found in the tomb of Guanghan, the number is very small, there are only a few words on each artifact, three or five more, one or two less, a total of only fifty words, and the above is very similar."

Liu Xiu understood, she should be talking about the early oracle bone inscription, which is the script used in the Xia Dynasty, which is the original prototype of Chinese characters. According to the more reliable statements of experts in later generations, the oracle bone inscription began in the late summer, and was really formed in the Yin Shang Dynasty, and developed into the Jin inscription in the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the Great Seal.

"There are early ...... in that tomb Yin Qiwen? ”

"That's all we can say at the moment, because we can't think of an older name." Cai Yan pursed his bright lips, but his eyes were a little fluttering, as if he was still intoxicated with his knowledge and did not wake up: "In there, there are many runes like this, but so far, we can only guess a few meanings, and most of them cannot be cracked." ”

"Wait, this green ox horn is the text of the Shang Dynasty, not the Zhou Dynasty?" Liu Xiu was very surprised, he always thought that this was really something handed down by Lao Tzu, but Lao Tzu was basically sure that he was a person in the late autumn years, and he should use the Jin Wen of the Zhou Dynasty. At that time, writing was a very advanced science, but there was no modern or ancient text.

"I don't know when this green horn was made or who made it, but I can be sure that these two characters are definitely not from the Zhou Dynasty, because the text handed down from the Zhou Dynasty is very different from these two characters."

Cai Yan picked up the ring and the short knife: "These two artifacts are basically certain to be of the same age, and the runes on them should also be a kind of text, general, you see, there are two runes in them that are very close." ”

Liu Xiu took it and looked at it, and under Cai Yan's guidance, he found that some of the runes were very similar.

Here, judging from the smooth and neat edges of the words on the artifacts in the past two years, whether they were carved or cast, such a skill can only be attributed to miracles. Because with the technology we know, it simply can't be done. ”

Liu Xiu played with the ring and the short knife, thoughtful. He and Mrs. Lu knew the mystery of the ring, and he believed that neither of these things was a product of this world, but Mrs. Lu had the same opinion as Cai Yan, that this was a miracle. In fact, their views are basically the same.

"You said that a similar rune was found in that tomb in Guanghan?"

"Well, those words are very different, if according to the point put forward by the general, the image text is in the front, and the regular text is in the back, then the lower limit of that tomb should be in the early Shang Dynasty, and the upper limit is ......" Cai Yan naturally shrugged his shoulders, not noticing the gaze of others at all: "The upper limit may be at the beginning of Hongmeng, when the gods were fighting." ”

"Gods of the Dogfight?"

"I'm talking about battles like the Battle of Hansen and the Battle of Zhuolu. Most of these wars only exist in legends, and there are only some records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and there are many contradictions, and there are no exact accounts at all. Whether it is the Yellow Emperor or the Yan Emperor, they are almost between humans and gods, so I call it a melee of the gods. ”

Cai Yan picked up the short knife: "This knife should be a weapon at that time, but I don't know who its owner is." ”

"Some people say that the owner of this knife is Chiyou."

"Chi You Blade?" Cai Yan's eyes lit up and he asked urgently.

"Do you know the Chiyou Blade?" Liu Xiu also came to Jingshen, Cai Yan talked for a long time, and finally said some useful information.

"Of course I do." Cai Yan clapped his hands: "I have seen an incomplete record on a fragment, saying that in ancient times, there were three divine weapons, one of which was the Chiyou Blade. The Chiyou blade is the most yin thing, which can send out the fire of the netherworld, and it is indestructible. ”

Liu Xiu rolled his eyes, this was a bit mysterious.

"What are the other two?" Mrs. Lu was convinced, and asked anxiously.

"One is the falling bow, which is said to have been used by Hou Yi shè falling nine ri, which is the thing of the sun."

"And what else is it?"

"Hee-hee, that one, it's mysterious." Cai Yan covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes crooked, as if she didn't even believe herself. "That divine weapon is called Xuan. It is said to be the harmony of yin and yang, and it has the wonderful use of the blade and the bow to yin to yang, but it is also a useless thing. I don't know what this means, but I can only understand it as what Lao Tzu said about useless use. As for what this divine weapon looks like, the following records are missing, and I don't know anything. ”

Cai Yan put the ring in his hand, and the slender willow eyebrows gently picked: "However, I believe that this artifact should be a reasonable artifact, not a practical artifact, just like Jane, what is useful is the truth passed down by the sages inside, but Jane itself is not very useful." You see that these runes are inside, but the outer ring is smooth as a mirror, there is yang, and there is no yin, which is the meaning of yin and yang. The general also said that the circle is the most perfect pattern between heaven and earth, and the most perfect thing is that it is useless, for example, what really fits the perfect circle cannot be fixed in a certain place at all, unless it is suspended in the air like the moon. ”

"No wonder he calls this the Qiankun Ring." Liu Xiu and Mrs. Lu glanced at each other and suddenly realized. The two of them are the people who know this ring the most here, and they also know Cai Yan's guess the most, this ring is not a useless artifact, in addition to pretending to be a ghost, there are only a large number of Taoist magic methods in it, but it can't really be used as a weapon.

"I see, this is where the real power lies, the power that transcends the concrete function, the pure power." Liu Xiu solved a mystery in his heart, was in a good mood, and made a joke: "Zhao Ji, do you know what the real artifact is?" ”

Cai Yan looked at Liu Xiu intently: "Please give the general advice." ”

"It is knowledge, wisdom, and the true avenue of heaven and earth."

Cai Yan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and was silent in thought. At this time, she was no longer an old Confucian with a full stomach, but just a flower-like girl in her prime, with slender fingers as white as jade caressing her bright and plump lips, and her nails and lips were painted correspondingly, like crystal clear rubies. Although it was not very large, its eyes were very bright with curiosity, and her slender and thick eyelashes fluttered, asking countless questions.

Tang Yingzi looked a little distracted, suddenly slapped her thigh, and shouted: "This girl is good, I like it." (To be continued.) )
