Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Bull and Tiger Copper Case That Bites the Bull's Head
Long Xi continued to look over, and saw that the fourth part of the silk painting was that the seedling had grown up, with lush branches and leaves, and was full of vitality. The fifth part is the growth of a small flower bud in the foliage. The sixth part is when the buds grow and are ready to be released. The seventh part is the flower half-open, and it can be seen that it is a camellia. The eighth part is that the camellia is in full bloom and beautiful and enchanting.
Long Xi admired the quaint silk painting, smiled and said: "This painting is a bit like a comic book! This is a bit like Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu Tu" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the work is also divided into several parts, and the middle is naturally separated by landscape scenery. But what is this silk painting trying to imply? What is the metaphor of the camellia?"
Zhu Junyao said: "We have studied that the camellia in this painting is Yunnan camellia, the first of the eight famous flowers in Yunnan. As early as the Sui and Tang dynasties, it has been cultivated artificially. ”
Long Xi likes to play this brain-burning reasoning game the most, and his curiosity has been deeply attracted, and he can't help but analyze to himself: "I remember that the city flower of Kunming is the camellia, is it implying that Kunming? Oh oh oh, no, this is all later." In the array of the ancient Dian king, there should be no such thing as a city flower. Tengchong is the origin of Yunnan camellia, is it implying Tengchong?"
Niu Rhino said: "We also secretly went to Tengchong to investigate, but found nothing. Personally, I think that we should gather all the clues of our twelve families and analyze them comprehensively, so that it can be useful! Now let's take a look at the clues of my Niu clan's guard! You should take a good look at it!"
Grandpa Rat took out another key and handed it to the bull rhino.
Niu Rhino opened the drawer with the small iron sign of "Astragalus" and took out a small boxy iron box, and then he took out a key from his arms and opened the small iron box.
Inside, there is a small bronze vessel in the shape of a ferocious tiger biting the head of a cow with its paws scratching its eyes.
The cow was clearly injured and struggled desperately, but her body was desperately guarding the calf hiding under its mother's belly.
Long Xi couldn't help but admire: "The shape of this bronze is so vivid! The selfless maternal love and the cruel predator of the weak are intertwined, and the amount of information conveyed is a bit large!"
Xiaolu touched his head and said, "I seem to have seen similar bronzes in the Yunnan Museum, and I am very impressed." Oh, yes, yes, but the bronze was much bigger, and it was the tiger that pounced on the cow's back and bit its tail. But it's the same thing that the cow desperately protects the calf. ”
The bull rhinoceros said, "Yes, yes. I also dressed up in disguise and saw it in the Yunnan Museum, which is called the Niuhu Bronze Case, which is a bronze from the Warring States Period. Grandpa Rat sat on the chair and said in a deep voice: "The case is also called 'figurine', which is a ritual vessel for placing meat sacrifices in ancient China. You should have heard the saying that man is a knife and I am a fish and meat, right? The Ox and Tiger Bronze Case is used to put sacrificial cattle and livestock, and it is the most important sacrifice in ancient sacrifices. Because cattle are the first of the 'three animals' to be sacrificed. The tiger has a high status in the Yunnan culture, often standing on the top of the bronze pillar of the Yunnan people's sacrifice, and the Yunnan people worship the tiger. ”
Zhu Junyao said: "The bronze vessel guarded by the horse should be in the same vein as the bull and tiger bronze case, maybe it is from the same craftsman's hand." ”
Long Xi asked: "Why does this tiger bite the head of the bull? Could it be hinting at something? According to the normal situation, if the tiger attacks the cow, it usually attacks the back, and will try to avoid attacking its head, because the horns on the head of the ox are the most powerful weapon of the ox! Oh, could it be a place name that implies something related to the head of the cow, I remember that there seems to be a village of the head of the cow in which province!"
Lord Mokun searched the database of high-intelligence chips, and immediately found it, and immediately said: "There is a Niutou village in Hebei Province, and there is a Niutoushan village in Anhui Province. ”
Long Xi smiled and said, "Wow, why don't I recommend you to participate in the strongest brain reality show?"
Xiaolu said a little unwillingly: "Teacher Mokun, didn't you come back from a foreign country? Why are you so familiar with the geography of country Z? Where does this make me, a native of country Z, put his face? It's so embarrassing for me!"
Mo Kun sighed and said helplessly: "No way, I'm just so good! I'm so lonely!"
Long Xi smiled and asked, "Are you lonely?"
Mo Kun couldn't help laughing, imitating Dugu's tone of defeat in the movie and saying: "Invincible, it is the loneliest and most painful!"
Xiaolu also laughed and sang "Invincible" casually: "How invincible is, how lonely, how invincible is, how empty, alone in the peak, the cold wind keeps blowing, my loneliness, who can understand me?"
Mo Kun asked Long Xi: "What kind of song is this?"
Long Xi said with a smile: "This is Lu Han's 'father' Deng Chao's 'famous song', and it is an episode of Stephen Chow's movie "Mermaid", which was written and composed by Mr. Stephen Chow himself! Hey, we're off topic!"
Grandpa Rat smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's good to be young, youthful, simple and happy!"
Niu Rhino said: "Brother Ma has the clue of the horse clan's guardian in his hand, and it is also stored in a drawer here. But the key is in Brother Ma's hands. After he died suddenly due to an accident at the construction site, we asked his wife, who said that he did not have the key in his belongings. ”
Long Xi suddenly remembered something and said, "His wife's name is Jade Rabbit, is it ...... Descendants of the Rabbit Clan?"
Niu Rhino said: "Yes, but she hates this identity very much, saying that she wants to be a normal person." In fact, I suspect that Brother Ma's key is with her, but she doesn't want to hand it over to us. ”
Zhu Junyao said to Feng Zihao, who had been bowing his head and playing with the mimosa in his hand: "Xiao Hao, you have clues in your hands that the Rooster Clan and the Monkey Clan are guarding, come and share it with you." ”
Feng Zihao glanced up at her and said coldly, "Why should I listen to you? Do you really think you're a princess?"
Zhu Junyao's face changed slightly, endured it, and did not have a seizure.
Niu Xi has always had a very honest smile on his face, which makes people feel very secure, and when he heard Feng Zihao's words, his face was suddenly full of anger.
He rolled up his sleeves and shouted to Feng Zihao: "Feng Zihao, you're eighteen years old, aren't you? What kind of child's temper are you playing? How can you say that we all watched you grow up, you are your elders, how do you speak? Ouch, my temper is so short-tempered! I have to teach you a lesson today, a bear child!"
Zhu Junyao hurriedly pulled him and said, "Don't don't, don't! His parents just passed away, and they are in a bad mood, which can be forgiven! Niu Niu, Niu Niu, dissipate your anger, didn't you say that every time I call you like this, you won't be angry!"
Niu Rhino took a few deep breaths, as if forcibly suppressing the fire, pointed at Feng Zihao, and said, "Apologize!"
Feng Zihao said to Zhu Yaojun in a hard tone: "I'm sorry! But my parents told me a thousand times when they were dying, telling me that I must never tell anyone the clues! I can't go against their wishes!"
Grandpa Rat said, "You kid, if you have something to say, just say it! Wouldn't it be nice to say it earlier? After talking for a long time, I'm a little hungry, and we haven't eaten lunch yet!"
Zhu Junyao said to Long Xi: "Xiao Hao, this kid, his heart is not bad! He just grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he is not used to getting along with people from outside. While we were cooking lunch, he was playing with the white ape in the woods, and when he spotted an enemy in ambush nearby, he informed us with the sound of a phoenix. We quickly hid in the secret cellar and escaped! He actually loved us very much, but he didn't know how to express it. ”
Feng Zihao said coldly: "Whatever you think." I'll go out for a walk, lunch and dinner I'll figure it out myself, don't wait for me!"
After saying that, he left the Water Curtain Cave alone.
Long Xi said to Zhu Junyao: "Sister, I picked some gray tree mushrooms just now, do you have a pot and meat slices?
Zhu Junyao smiled and said, "You should call me Auntie, I'm forty years old." ”
Long Xi smiled and said, "But you look so young, I'll call you sister, don't change your words!"
Zhu Junyao said: "Oh, the little girl's mouth is so sweet!
Niu Rhino said to her: "Princess Piggy, after we hand over the treasure clues to the state, we can have children with peace of mind!
Zhu Junyao glanced at him and sneered: "The public, are you embarrassed? Ignore you, I'll take Xixi to the kitchen and cook you a delicious meal, which can be regarded as washing the dust for the three of them." ”
Long Xi held her arm affectionately, and she was like two sisters who had a good relationship, and walked gracefully to the innermost hole.
This is indeed the kitchen, with a stove, kitchen utensils, firewood, seasonings, and cutlery, some dried bacon and sausages, and a small closed door on the wall.
Zhu Junyao opened the small door, and the cold air inside was bubbling out. Long Xi saw that it was a small Xiaoice cellar, which stored ingredients.
Zhu Junyao smiled and said, "This Xiaoice cellar......"
Long Xi answered with a smile: "It was Feng Zihao who made it, he is actually quite smart!"
Zhu Junyao lovingly poked her little head with an index finger, and said with a smile: "You little brain, you are as smart as him! Oh, I want to recognize you as my goddaughter!"
Long Xi smiled and coquettishly: "It's my godsister! Then I'll recognize you as my sister!"
Zhu Junyao smiled and said, "I'm twenty-two years older than you, I'm embarrassed to call you sister!"
Long Xi rolled his eyes, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, I will recognize you as my aunt, right? Aren't your ancestors friends with my mother's ancestors? Then my mother and you are also worldly friends!"
