Chapter 172: The Secret of No Transmission
Liu Sheng sighed again and again. Bai Ya sat down slowly, pinching the bridge of his nose with his thumb and forefinger, trying to calm his emotions. He also felt that this kind of behavior was simply unreasonable. If the monarch was here, he was afraid that he would have broken the bridge of the old thing's nose with one punch.
"What the hell is going on?" Sheng Han calmed down and asked, "Please tell us, when we are not there, what is ......?"
It was only two or three months ago...... The king no longer goes to court.
Mother of the Nation knows a limited amount of things. Although she was directly under the command and control of the incense god, she could learn less and less information. It seems that unconsciously, he tightened his trust in this little girl, and he didn't know if it had anything to do with Bai Ya and them. The candles that could make the king sleep peacefully and dream of returning to his commoner status and reuniting with his family have long since run out. However, the incense god did not let her tell the monarch about this, and never revealed the process of making the candles. I only told her that the raw materials were limited and she had already run out. Not to mention the Nine Heavens, even if the whole world is turned upside down, if it is gone, it is gone.
So what to do? How can we stabilize the increasingly emaciated and manic monarch? The big and small things were slowly handed over to the cabinet to do, and the cabinet was all important members of the Xiangyin Sect. The young Mother of the Nation finally realizes that the Incense God does not want to help the monarch, and the fact that the monarch is becoming more and more crazy is also part of his plan. Now, as the plan nears its end, he will naturally kick out the useless monarch and logically take the power of the Xiangji Kingdom into his hands. As for why he took this slow approach, it was because he needed time. It is impossible for faith to penetrate into the hearts of the people overnight, and the spread and precipitation of any culture is a silent process of moisturizing things, even if it is a cult. What the? Drugged? That's not going to work. Relying on drugs does not last long, and it also hurts the body. To let the power of faith take root in the human body, and to maintain the function of human labor, is the most perfect and gentle plunder.
Xiangshen and several of his subordinates have developed a new medicine.
This medicine has an excellent paralyzing effect, as long as you inhale some, you can isolate the pain in the body in time, and at the same time make people's mood better. Its original recipe was a certain kind of anesthetic among the people, and now dozens of raw materials have been added, and more than a dozen processes have been added. He finally mass-produced the medicine into a balm and distributed it to devout believers in one go. Pick a little bit of this thing and burn it in the stove, which can stimulate the fragrance in it.
One of the important raw materials is called Wuxiaying. This is also what the mother of the nation learned later. The secrecy of the incense god is always done very well, and even the field of refining medicine is extremely hidden.
After the gentle-tempered monarch became like this, he poured his anger on the head of the mother of the country, beat and scolded her day and night, and drove her out of her previous dormitory. He said that if it weren't for him, the mother of the country would not have the treatment she has today. When the mother of the country heard this, she could only smile bitterly, and she couldn't say anything at all. The incense god didn't give her new instructions, just like giving up on her, she had to swallow her anger.
In just a few dozen days, a person can become so fast. Whenever the mother of the country felt that she couldn't hold on, she said to herself that he used to be very good to herself...... He thought it was just a dream. Forget it, what's the matter? What's more, with the recent increase in the purity of the balm, he has spent more and more time in incense.
By the way, the name of the balm speaks to the believers of forgetting the sorrows. But in private, when the incense god called it, it was clearly called soul incense, and I didn't know what to pay attention to.
"Do you have that kind of incense here?" Liu Shenghan asked her.
The Mother of the Nation shook her head, regretfully
He said, "Those things will never be given to me." It wears down people's will, depletes people's spirit, and once it is smelled, it cannot be separated. I'm afraid that because I'm still useful, adults won't give me incense, and they won't let me touch them. β
Jun Aoyan was still angry. She said, "I think you can run away now." Anyway, the palace is not so strict, we will find a way to take you out, so you don't have to suffer in the palace. β
"You're thinking it's simple." Bai Ya felt ridiculous at this idea, "The territory of the southern kingdom is full of the eyeliner of those fake immortals, where can she go?" β
"Follow us. We went home together and let her live in a new place. Or, just hide from my dad. β
Before Bai Ya could speak, the mother of the country made a statement. She said sadly, "Miss Jun has a heart. It's just that whether it's the sect leader or the king, they can be regarded as gracious to me. I can't just walk away. What's more, Bai Shaoxia is right, no matter where I go, they can always find me. I'm just adding to the burden with you, so I won't bother you. β
The other three sighed as well. Although it is a bit hateful that iron does not become steel, it is also a personal choice. The Mother of the Nation grew up in such an environment from childhood to adulthood. If the morning glory pulls away its clinging branches, it will only lie on the ground weakly, and it will not be able to withstand any wind and rain. If you leave like this, you will rot in the ground. They know, so they don't say anything anymore.
"Well, there's one thing, I don't know if it will help you." The Mother of the Nation suddenly said again.
"What's the matter? What else do you know? β
"Originally, the Sect Leader had prepared a third mission for you."
"Ah...... Truly. If we bring back the corpse of the horse of the Song Shen Kingdom, I'm afraid we will have to do it. β
"It's an extraordinary task." The mother of the country's expression became serious, "Moreover, this is also related to the song of the sinking country." β
"Because it's an ally? Because the two immortals have a good relationship? β
"That's true. This third task was originally for you to find a lost guqin......"
"Ahh Liu Shenghan exclaimed briefly.
The other three all looked at her, meaning written on their faces: What's the matter, you know?
Liu Shenghan nodded and said honestly, "I did hear itβthe other one who told me about the Six Realms of Impermanence was the Immortal Moon Monarch. If this task really falls to us, let's say ...... There are still some troubles. β
"What's the trouble?" Jun Aoyan was puzzled, "Is it hard to find?" β
"This piano ...... It's really a lot to say. The Sect Master asked you to find it, on the one hand, it was clear that you would not be allowed to complete it; On the other hand, even if you do, he and the god of song will benefit. That harp, legend has it that it was played by a dead man. β
"Dead people?"
So the mother of the country and Liu Shenghan said a word to you, a sentence to me, and pieced together the rumors of the piano little by little. The qin is a guqin with five strings, but it is not the same as a regular guqin. The general guqin is the literal meaning, "the qin of ancient times". Strictly speaking, this piano appeared in this generation. It is not clear what age it is or how many years it is exact. It can be as short as a few decades or as many as hundreds of years, but it is not the title of "ancient" in any case. And this qin is ancient in its wood - the wood is a fine nanmu, golden silk nanmu, and it is seven or eight hundred years old wood. This wood can not be soaked in water, ants can not burrow, its color is light orange and yellow in the gray, the wood is warm and delicate, the texture is elegant and quiet,
In the sun, it can flash a faint golden light, such as clouds, such as jade silk, and it is so beautiful that it is breathtaking.
It is a coffin.
The coffin was originally lying in the tomb, and the owner was supposed to be a musician or a lover of music. Because there are thirteen mother-of-pearl products in the coffin, they exude a delicate and beautiful luster. Some knowledgeable people say that this is the piano emblem. Thirteen emblems have symbolized the month of December since ancient times, and the remaining one represents the leap month. As for the identity of this corpse, there are really different opinions, and there is no definite conclusion. Because it is special, there are no tombstones, and there are no other burials that can identify themselves. What's even more special is that she is a woman. But perhaps it was precisely because she was a woman that people at that time felt that she should be nameless and unworthy, not worthy of a grand burial, and there was no organ in the tomb.
In fact, she had a lot of burial companions, but the moment those things saw the light of day, suddenly they all turned into dust in front of everyone's eyes, drifting away with the wind, and the people who dug up the graves rushed up to hug them frantically, and finally only got a handful of dust. This is not new, and many tombs that have been buried deep underground for many years and isolated from the rest of the world will dissipate when exposed to a lot of fresh air. What's more, digging it out is a coincidence in itself, it's just a group of people working on the mine, and they didn't expect this to happen, so they were naturally unprepared.
In the end, all that was left was this big coffin. With the experience of funeral goods, there is a lot more preparation for opening the coffin. Her body was well preserved in such a coffin, and it was evident that she should have been very young when she died. But no one could tell how she died. No wounds could be found in the external wounds, no poison could be found in the internal wounds, but there were dark red and brown marks on the bottom of the coffin lid. Could that be blood? How could it be on it? Is it the blood of the owner of the coffin? But she clearly didn't have a wound.
The nameless corpse of the woman was sitting here, and no one was doing anything. But before the imperial court could send anyone, on the seventh day of the opening of the coffin, something unexpected happened - the coffin lid was gone, and it was replaced by a guqin.
What's even more incredible is that the girl's body is gone. Two miners said they were sure that the piano was made from this coffin, because the coffin originally had colorless lacquer, but the wood was broken under the cold and heat stretching, like a rare plum blossom in the guqin. And on this molded guqin, there are exactly the same plum blossoms. But this piano has a new antler frost tire, a mother oyster's emblem, a jade-inlaid piano, and five silk strings. The current qin is already seven strings, and it has been "seven" for two or three hundred years. It is estimated that it is dressed according to the age in which the girl was born.
How could this corpse be gone? This coffin board was transformed into a piano overnight?
There were no guards on the side of the tomb at that time, and those who arrived last and the earliest said that they had not heard any movement, nor had they seen any strange footprints. The corpses evaporated, leaving no ashes behind. There was not a single piece of material left in the tomb
γ If it weren't for the insistence that this was definitely the coffin board, and there were a few inconspicuous marks of scratches from the pickaxe on it, people would have suspected that someone had stolen the beams and replaced the pillars with the finished piano. But even if it is a well-made piano, how can it be put in quietly? Not to mention how the corpses and the original boards were transported, just predicting when someone will dig up this tomb is a difficult task for the best feng shui masters, onmyoji and fortune tellers in the country. Besides, no one knew there was a coffin here.
The whereabouts of this female corpse and the origin of the guqin are all mysterious and mysterious.
