"Oh. Lost? Why do you wear so little? "Uncle speaks a thick dialect, but he can still understand it. We quickly nodded and asked the old man where this was. The old man grinned with only a few teeth. He said: "This is Jiangjia Village, how many years have I not been born here. ”

Jiangjia Village? Haven't heard of it. However, we can't ask which province, which city, and which county, and no matter how lost we are, we won't get lost out of other provinces. I had to ask the uncle where there was a store, and we said that the luggage was stolen and we wanted to buy some clothes. The old man showed us the way, we thanked the old man, and left with the little black cat in our arms.

This uncle got up early to pick up dung balls to make fertilizer, and was very familiar with the local area, saying that there were shops to the east of the village, and Shanxi to the west. Shanxi? Are we in Shanxi? As soon as we got out of the village, we saw someone driving the sheep out of the village on the road, so we followed the sheepherd, and the two hundred goats and sheep, lively and lively, dropped the dung balls while walking.

I found the store, bought two coats to wear, and asked the boss how to get to the county, and the boss said that there are still ten kilometers to go to the county, but his small truck will go to buy the goods, and can take us there. We were overjoyed when we heard this, so we bought a lot of daily necessities in his store.

The boss brought a stool for us to sit on and asked us where we were from, and we said Guangdong and western Guangdong. I saw that the boss's mouth couldn't be closed, and the boss said that no one from Guangdong had ever been here. Jiang Ming opened a can of Red Bull and was drinking, and I asked the boss why there were mooncakes for sale today. The boss said that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the sixth day, and you still come out to play during the festival?

Jiang Ming laughed hehehe, saying that the boss is really joking, we came on August 7th, and today is the 8th. The boss laughed, tears came out of his eyes, and he pointed to the treetops outside and said, It's October 6th, what about autumn, haven't you seen that the leaves have fallen off?

We turned our heads to see, and indeed we saw the magpie nests in the trees. Looking at the electronic clock behind the cash register, it clearly shows that it is October 6th. The boss said that this July is not a leap month, so there are two Julys, and today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

We did a rough calculation, and there was a difference of two months between yesterday and today. That is to say, we lost two months, sixty days, what is going on? First, last night in western Guangdong, I walked for four or five hours across the Nawugu Bridge, and then wrestled. It's only been a few hours now, and I've arrived in this Jiangjia village in Shanxi, and the plane is not so fast, right? Two months in a few hours? We can't accept it.

I asked the boss which county in Shanxi this is, and the boss was stunned for a moment, what did he say about Shanxi? Who told you this is Shanxi? We are Jiangjia Village, Nanjiao Town, Jingcheng County, Hebei Province, are you crazy? After saying that, the boss was laughing again, and we were also laughing bitterly.

This is not clear, people are lost, even time is lost, it really makes us speechless. The boss finally finished laughing, and said I'll tell you a story. The boss said that their Jiangjia Village is not famous for anything else, but the Dongbin Mountain behind the village is quite famous.

He said: "The most famous in the village has to be Dongbin Mountain behind the village, and there is Chunyang Cave on the mountain. According to the "Jingcheng County Chronicle": Legend has it that Lu Dongbin and Han Zhongli lived in the cave a long time ago, and the two played chess for recreation in their spare time. One day, a sheep herder named Hu Xiao in the village passed by here and saw two white-haired old men sitting opposite each other, Chu and Han arguing. ”

"An old man has a long sword and a flute next to him, and another has a red drum next to him, and there is a plate of red-mouthed fresh peaches. He reached out and took one and ate one, and his hunger suddenly subsided. After a while, the two immortals wanted to collect the chess pieces and return to the cave, and said to the sheep herding baby that it was time for you to go home. ”

He reached for the whip and did not want it to decay into sawdust, and a gust of wind blew through his hair, and his beard turned white, and the sheep were nowhere to be seen. I had to go back to the village along the original road, but the ancient village was still there, and the old scene was gone. ”

After the boss finished speaking, he pointed at us and said, you can't have met the Eight Immortals Lu Dongbin, right? After saying that, he patted his thigh and laughed again. Jiang Ming smiled bitterly and said I have heard this story, this happened in your village? The boss laughed and said that this was a legend from the older generation, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, anyway, it was passed down from generation to generation.

After laughing, the boss beckoned his mother-in-law to look at the store and told us to get in the car. When we arrived in the county, we shook hands with the boss and said goodbye, and then we looked for a place to eat. After eating enough and finding a place to stay, and taking a shower at the hotel, we began to discuss.

Jiang Ming put the cat on the quilt, and then unpacked the copper ruler, the ancient book, and the two bird talismans and put them together. He said, I don't know this word, but I can guess a few. Now it seems that the copper ruler should be Luban ruler, and the bird charm is also used by the descendants of Luban, and there is only half of the ancient book. He looked at me after he finished speaking.

I said that your little black took you to find it, these should be what you deserve, maybe my uncle said that you went further than him, that's what he said. Otherwise, if you understand these words, you may not know what the secret is, maybe this Luban ruler and bird talisman are magic weapons.

He pondered for a while and said, the font of this ancient book is earlier than the seal style, it should be before the Qin Dynasty, such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wasn't there a person named Lu Ban who was the originator of carpenters at that time? But papermaking was invented by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was hundreds of years later than Lu Ban. So I guess this book is a rubbings handed down by Lu Ban's descendants.

This Lu Dongbin was a native of the Tang Dynasty 1,200 years ago, so this Jiangjia Village has a history of more than 1,000 years. Lu Dongbin is the ancestor of Taoism, will it have anything to do with this Luban ruler bird talisman? Jiang Ming walked around and kept thinking, although I graduated from high school, I also know a little about history, I know the approximate year, but I don't know the specifics.

Jiang Ming bought a pen and paper, copied the bird text of the ancient book, deleted the words that could be guessed, and copied out more than 200 words that he didn't know. And then I guessed there every day, I waited for a week, and I was bored. Why don't you go to Shijiazhuang and find a university professor to ask?

Jiang Ming patted his thigh and said, Good idea, why didn't you say it earlier? You guessed there yourself, and now blame me? The two of them immediately went to check out, and then went to the Jingcheng County Bus Station to take a car. The bus to Shijiazhuang is very bad and has no air conditioning, so the passengers are open windows. We found a seat in the back.

Jiang Ming studied bird literature, and in the past few days, he has forced himself to sleep less and always drink tea. He poured Wahaha pure water, filled it with tea and took it to the car. The car was rotten, the road was not easy to walk, and the driver of a big car came in front of him and braked suddenly.

The Wahaha bottle in Jiang Ming's hand flew out and rolled forward along the aisle, and the passengers in front of him all looked back when they heard the movement. The bottle was about to roll to the driver's seat, and Jiang Ming said I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the bottle is mine, so I hurriedly ran to pick it up.

A few beautiful women saw that the transparent plastic bottle contained a yellow liquid with bubbles in it, and they thought he was hiding behind to pee, so they covered their mouths and laughed. Jiang Ming picked up the water bottle and saw several beautiful women laughing, knowing that people had misunderstood him.

He stood next to the driver and said, "It's really tea water, don't believe me, I'll take a sip to show you." After speaking, he opened it and took a few sips, and then his face changed. And one of the women with the child in the middle said, "That bottle is mine, and yours is under my seat." The whole car burst into laughter.

Jiang Ming wiped the corners of his mouth indifferently, and said with a smile, the boy's urine is good, clear heat and detoxify. The beauties collapsed with laughter, wiping their tears and covering their faces while laughing. I watched the bottle roll to the front, so I knew that Jiang Ming just wanted to adjust the atmosphere. Such a humorous person also contracted my laughter for a year.

When he walked back, the kitten in Jiang Ming's arms attracted the attention of those beauties, and they all reached out to touch it, girls already like cats. Then a bespectacled beauty noticed something different and shouted that the cat had four ears. The rest of the beauties came around to watch, and Jiang Ming sat down and discussed life with a few beauties.

They are college students who have gone out to collect style, and they are rushing back to school to complete their graduation thesis. Jiang Ming asked them which university they were in, and several of them replied that they were from Hebei Normal University, and the bespectacled beauty was a graduate student who led the team.

"Then which of you is studying Chinese or literature and history?" Jiang Ming asked casually.

"This senior sister who wears glasses is, she is the protection and research of Yanzhao's cultural heritage." One of the beauties replied.

"Oh, hello, we all wear glasses." Jiang Ming said with a smile, in fact, he chuckled in his heart. The glasses beauty smiled politely.

Jiang Ming said: "I have a few words, which are earlier than the seal script, so I don't know how to read them, can this classmate translate them for me?" ”

A group of beauties were very curious, and asked him to write it, Jiang Ming took out a pen and wrote it in the palm of his hand, and the glasses beauty held his palms with both hands and looked at it carefully. The beauties of that group also looked around, and Jiang Ming was so beautiful that I was blushing when I watched it from behind. This person's ability to control the field is too strong, and a group of beauties will circle around him in a few words.

Three words, the glasses beauty only recognized two. Then Jiang Ming wrote a bunch of bird texts in the palm of his hand, and most of the beauties in the glasses recognized it. The glasses beauty said that this bird text is also called the bird book, and some people call it the bird seal, and many people think that it is the predecessor of the seal book. Therefore, many of the strokes are actually related to the seal script, but the other few are really unrecognizable, at least there are no these words in archaeology.

Jiang Ming said, "Can your teacher recognize it?" The glasses beauty said that her teacher is very knowledgeable, and she has seen and translated a lot of ancient Chinese characters, and has made great contributions to archaeological culture. So if he could copy these words, he should be able to guess eighty percent, and if the whole text was coherent, ninety percent would be fine.

The glasses beauty took out the notebook, and Jiang Ming wrote more than a hundred words on it, but he wrote it all out of order. In the end, he even wrote down his email address, and left the phone number of the glasses beauty. After the car arrived at the station, everyone got off the bus and dispersed, and Jiang Ming said to the glasses beauty that she was waiting for her good news.

We found a place to live near the Normal University, and Jiang Ming went to the library every day, trying to recognize the 200 bird texts. I was bored wandering around school, and when I was tired, I lay down on the grass and slept. It took Jiang Ming half a month, and with the help of the glasses beauty and her mentor, he basically understood the words, which he said were spells similar to sacrificial texts. I said I didn't understand.

Just as we were about to celebrate happily, Jiang Ming's cat meowed. He said he had to leave, and I pulled me and walked out the back door. I got into a taxi casually, and I looked back to see two people looking behind me. They are all fat monks and Taoist priests in Tsing Yi dressed up as ordinary people.
