Chapter 167: My name is Bragu
Han Jianjian's voice came from behind him: "Brother Dong, all the things scattered around here should be gems!" When I left, I had to fill my pockets......"
I didn't have the heart to deal with him, and I wondered in my heart: No matter what kind of material the coffin is, how can this thing save Wu Jinghan?
I began to doubt again.
"If you see it with your own eyes, you should be relieved!" At this moment, I felt that the old man's hoarse voice was so good.
"You...... You say this coffin can save her? I couldn't help but ask.
"To be precise, it wasn't this coffin that saved her, but the Gu worm, but I need time to cultivate this Gu, and besides, the Soul Rejuvenation Grass here hasn't bloomed yet, at least...... We'll have to wait at least a few days. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a patch of green vegetation on the other side of the canopy, which looked similar to garlic seedlings.
Ma Huadong pointed to the "garlic sprouts", then retracted his hand embarrassedly, and asked the blind old man softly: "Brother, you said that this plant is called Soul Rejuvenation Grass?" ”
The blind old man turned around, walked straight to the "garlic sprouts", squatted down, and gently swiped his hand as if he were caressing his own child.
Several of us were stunned, and at this moment I even wondered if the old guy was really blind.
Han Jianjian bent down and picked up a few stones and put them in his pocket, and when he saw this scene, his outstretched hand froze in front of him.
"Holy! Old man, you can see it! ”
The old man laughed dryly and replied, "I have been living in the dark for more than twenty years, and I have almost forgotten what the world is like!" ”
This is a bit miserable.
Han Jianjian retracted his hand and scratched his head: "Then you ...... just now You can see it! ”
This time the old man did not rush to explain, but slowly stood up, turned around and gently stroked his messy long hair with his hands, just when I wondered what he was going to do, suddenly I saw a group of small red insects flying up from the old man's shoulders, hovering around his head.
These insects are the size of soybeans, and their whole body is shiny with a light red.
Well? Why are so many bugs popping up all of a sudden!
"It's ...... Is this a Gu worm? I heard Ma Huadong exclaim.
The blind old man put her hair down, and this time I could see very clearly, all the bugs had gotten into her hair, and they were gone in an instant.
"You don't have to look at what you're looking for!"
Before I could understand, I couldn't help but ask, "If you don't rely on your eyes, can you rely on those little red bugs just now?" ”
Without waiting for the old man to reply, Ma Huadong snorted coldly: "What do you kid know, what is a red bug, that's a Gu worm!" Those who can control Gu worms must have a deep attainment in the art of witchcraft, it is said that ...... It is said that the most powerful Gu refiner can be physically and mentally one with Gu worms. ”
At this time, Meng Lao, who had not spoken, took two steps towards the blind old man and asked softly: "Is the soul revival grass that the elder brother said about the legendary grass that blooms next to the Fountain of Immortality in the underworld, the kind of grass that can bring people back to life?" ”
The old man shook his head: "No! This is a kind of food that I feed the Gu worms, and it is also the most important food, only the Gu worms eat the flowers of the Soul Rejuvenation Grass to save the girl inside. ”
Several old men nodded almost at the same time.
Professor Gu asked again: "Brother, what is the use of this lipstick coffin?" ”
"Don't underestimate these nine coffins, this is made of a special kind of jade, which can make people in a state of immortality, if you don't put this girl in it temporarily, even if my Gu worm children cultivate it, her body may have rotted......"
It dawned on me, but I still thought what he was saying was unbelievable.
In the process of helping the blind old man down the tree, Mr. Wu and Ma Huadong didn't shut up as soon as they said a word to me.
"Brother, take the liberty of asking, where did you learn such a profound Gu technique?"
"The survival techniques left by my ancestors have been forced to learn since I could walk."
"It took us a lot of effort to find this place, you ...... How did you end up here? ”
I remember I asked this question before, but he didn't answer it directly.
"Come here and find something...... A secret left by an old ancestor......" he sighed, "It's a pity! Twenty years ago, I was devoured by a very powerful Gu worm, and in an uncontrollable situation, I gouged out my eyes, and at that moment, I was destined to never find the secret of my ancestors. ”
This first made my scalp tingle and I felt a little crazy. It turned out that the old guy's eyes were gouged out by himself......
I still think I've heard this somewhere......
"Dare to ask if my brother is not Han?"
The old man shook his head: "I'm from the old Miao tribe!" A tribe from the deep mountains of Guizhou. ”
Professor Gu patted the back of his head: "I'm also old and confused, if it weren't for the old Miao clan, how could I be so powerful!" ”
As soon as I heard him say that he was from the old Miao ethnic group, I felt that the content of this was a little familiar, as if I had heard someone else say it.
"Brother, the old Miao people are far away in Guizhou, how can the things left by your ancestors be here?"
Professor Gu continued to ask,
Teacher Wu behind him preemptively interjected: "I think I can explain this question clearly!" ”
"Oh? Brother Wu knows the reason? ”
As he spoke, a few people walked out of the hole in the big tree and sat down by the lake to continue talking.
Mr. Wu asked us, "Everyone should have heard of the battle of the deer, right?" ”
"In ancient times, the battle between Chiyou and the Yanhuang tribe in Hebei?" Han Jianjian retorted casually, looking at his expression as if he was at the scene at the time.
"That's right! Chiyou is the tribal leader of the Dongyi tribe, after he inherited the tribal leader, he changed the style of the Dongyi tribe before the 'modest hiding', and it took a few years to defeat more than a dozen small tribes nearby, of course, this time I want to focus on what happened after the defeat of the Chiyou tribe. ”
Han Jianjian grinned with interest and said, "I know this!" They cut Chiyou's body into four pieces and hid them in four directions of the territory. ”
Teacher Wu ignored him and continued: "The defeat is like a mountain! At that time, the Dongyi tribe was forced to be decomposed and roughly divided into four branches, some of them were subordinated to the Yanhuang tribe and integrated into the Hehua tribe, some of them moved west to the Guizhou Plateau, the other part moved to Sichuan and Yunnan, and of course some people chose to stay in their homeland. ”
Yang Jianqiang interjected and asked Mr. Wu: "Could it be that the current Miao people are the Dongyi people who moved west to Guizhou at that time?" ”
Yang Jianqiang nodded: "Yes!" This point has been confirmed more than ten years ago, this part of the tribe who moved west to Guizhou took away the Gu art of the Dongyi tribe at that time, and the Dongyi people who moved to Yunnan, Sichuan brought bronze smelting, but unfortunately, this branch of people later disappeared in the long river of history. ”
"Could it be...... Are you referring to the ancients who created the Sanxingdui culture? Yang Jianqiang was surprised.
"That's right! Sanxingdui culture and Gumiao culture are both derived from Dongyi culture, but at that time, because of the defeat and forced to move west, whether it is witchcraft or bronze smelting, only a part of it is taken away, at most it is a large part. ”
Yang Jianqiang clapped his hands: "I understand what you mean!" The Dongyi people should have prospered from this underground space, and they should have mastered superb bronze smelting techniques and superb witchcraft here. ”
Ma Huadong nodded: "Now we finally know why the Dongyi clan is so awesome!" Their mysterious civilization turned out to be from another, even older civilization. ”
Teacher Wu waved his hand: "Brother, I'm still a little puzzled, it was three or four thousand years ago that the Dongyi tribe moved west after the defeat, and this place is so hidden, how did you know?" ”
The old man made strange noises from his mouth, and he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing.
"I don't know how much you know about our old Miao people, in fact, I also left my hometown for more than 40 years, the tribe where I was called Dongkang Village, I am the Miao doctor in the village, our tribe has an ancestral animal skin silk book, has been kept by the village owners of the past generations, because the silk book is a very ancient text, it is said that at least 100 years no one has cracked the content of the silk book."
Ma Huadong asked casually: "I heard it, you happen to know the ancient characters above?" ”
The old man nodded: "Since I was a child, I like to delve into more than a dozen ancient miscellaneous books preserved in the tribe, learn some ancient alchemists, and there happens to be a book that introduces that kind of ancient script, I learned some, and I even guessed and was blind, and I barely understood the words on the silk book." ”
Yang Jianqiang was puzzled: "Since it is an ancestral heirloom kept by the owners of the village for generations, it should be very precious, how can it be easily seen?" ”
The old man shook his head: "In our Miao tribe, there are two very important people, and they are also unprovoked by ordinary people, one is the owner of the village, and the other is the Miao doctor, I don't know if there has been any change now, at least forty years ago, the Miao doctor worked part-time as Miao Wu, and he was also the person with the highest Gu skill in the entire village." ”
"You're Doctor Miao!"
The old man nodded: "Yes! But Miao Yi also has no right to read the content of the silk book, so I violated the rules of the village, voluntarily endured the pain of the bite of Wan Gu, and then was expelled from the village, in fact, at the moment when I was ready to read the silk book, I had already decided in my heart that I must find the secret left by my ancestors. ”
Teacher Wu took a deep breath and leaned forward with his upper body: "Brother, can you tell us now, what is the secret of the ancestors you are referring to?" ”
After the old man was silent for more than ten seconds, he nodded and replied softly: "So far, there is nothing to hide!" ”
A few of us held our breath, ready to hear what he had to say.
"Let's put it simply! When my ancestors left their homeland, they hid all the best secrets of their people and all the knowledge they could not take with them in a very hidden place. It took me 20 years to find this place after I left the village, but unfortunately ......"
The latter words were replaced by a sigh.
Hearing this, I trembled violently, and hurriedly looked at Liu Liwei, who also stared at me with strange eyes. The moment their eyes met, I knew that he had guessed who the blind old man in front of him was.
When the old man finished speaking, I asked him softly, "I take the liberty of asking the old man, what is your name?" ”
The old man was stunned for a few seconds, and then slowly spoke: "My name is Bragu. ”
