Chapter 159: Flying Phoenix Seeking Fish
Chen Laosan continued: "On both sides of the Yellow River in my hometown, there is an ancient folk song, which has been passed down for at least a thousand years, and no one can say what it means now, but those of us who eat by the river, when we can be on our own, my father or master will teach me to recite this ancient ballad sentence by sentence." ”
"Ancient rumors? What does this have to do with how to open the box? ”
Li Xiaobai didn't understand, and asked hurriedly.
In fact, I also think that his words are not the same as the horse's mouth, could it be that in an ancient song that has been passed down for thousands of years, how to open this strange black box thousands of miles away? Think about it and know it's impossible!
Chen Laosan waved his hand and motioned for us not to interrupt him.
"Listen to these words of this ancient ballad first, is it the box that is described!"
After speaking, Teacher Chen coughed lightly and read slowly, "The big black box is square and square, and there is a person on one side. How to open without holes seamlessly? A drop of blood to the center of the figure. ”
After Chen Laosan finished reciting the ancient ballad, all the people present were stunned. I carefully pondered these ancient rumors: "the big black box is square and square" is not in line with the box in front of us, the second sentence "one side is one person long", the side length of this box is definitely more than one meter seven, which is completely in line with the description of the ancient ballad, and the most important thing is the third sentence "seamless ...... without holes".
If one of the sentences is taken out, it may be said to be a coincidence, but I am afraid that only this box is the only one that satisfies the content of three ancient ballads at the same time.
Yang Guoshan asked, "This ancient rumor was passed on to you by your father?" ”
"It's my grandfather, I was sixteen years old that year, I remember carrying the whole pergola all night, my grandfather held a whip in his hand, and said when I had to carry it before I could go to sleep, and I carried it until the rooster crowed! So I was very impressed. ”
Yang Guoshan asked again: "Does your grandfather know the meaning of this ancient ballad?" ”
Chen Laosan shook his head and said, "He doesn't know!" My grandfather also listened to his grandfather, and our family was passed down from generation to generation. ”
"Three...... Third brother, you just said that this ancient rumor spread in the Yellow River Valley of your Ningxia, why is this talking and talking, and it has become passed down from generation to generation in your family? ”
Zhang Kailong patted Li Xiaobad's shoulder and shouted in a low voice: "Little bad! Don't keep interrupting, let the third brother finish his words......"
Chen Laosan continued.
At first, he thought that this ancient rhyme was only passed down from generation to generation by their family, but when she took charge of herself and came into contact with more people, he learned that almost all the people who ate by the river knew this ancient ballad.
Chen Laosan also asked his father and grandfather what this ancient ballad is about and why it has been passed down orally from generation to generation.
His grandfather shook his head and said that he didn't know, and only told Chen Laosan that he must remember it, and it must be passed down from generation to generation, this is the ancestral rule of their ancestors, and it is also the ancestral rule of the thousands of people who eat Yellow River rice.
In the blink of an eye, more than 30 years have passed, and his grandfather and father have long since passed away, but this ancient ballad is like a childhood dream, hidden at the bottom of his memory, not moving but lingering.
"Brother Long, Third Brother, if these ancient ballads describe this box, what does this last sentence mean?"
Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, basically all of them were neighbors from Laomiao Village, I was afraid that something would affect everyone, so I hurriedly interrupted Chen Laosan's long memories.
Chen Laosan shook his head and said, "It seems to mean that a drop of blood is dripped into the center of the box pattern, but where is the center?" ”
Maybe the staff of the two cultural centers and Wang Er saw that this box was not in danger, and they also leaned over at this time.
I carefully looked at the huge box, and I could determine that the pattern on it was the pattern of the river god, and after careful analysis, the source of this pattern should be the illusory space that Uncle Shi took to the illusory space, on the huge bronze door, and on the stone tablets on the countless mounds, similar patterns were painted.
"Turn this box over, the center of the pattern according to the old rumor should be on the other side of these pictures!"
Chen Laosan carefully identified the graphics on the box, and suddenly was stunned, and said in a low voice.
When a few people heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to use the strength of milk, and finally were overturned by the box, and when the box was turned, they could feel that something was rolling inside, and with our rolling, there was a "coo" sound.
What's in there? I think a few of the people here thought that at the time.
turned over one by one, and the box was dragged up, but the so-called other side is also some obscure graphics, and it doesn't look obvious different.
I looked at Chen Laosan, he was expressionless, just staring at the graphics on the box motionlessly, looking left for a while, looking at it again for a while, and finally let Li Xiaobai and Wang Er find a few half-head bricks and put them under the big box, Chen Laosan stepped on the bricks, so that the line of sight and the surface of the box were on the same main line.
"It should be there!"
Chen Laosan stepped on the brick and looked at it for a while, and suddenly pointed to the left side of the upper surface of the box.
At this time, several neighbors brought in a few stones and put them on the side of the box, and I also followed Chen Laosan's example, looking at the surface of the box, but I didn't see anything special.
"Third brother! This...... I don't see anything about it! ”
Chen Laosan sneered and said in a low voice: "How can this totem of flying phoenix and fish be seen by ordinary people?" Stand in my position, and use your left eye to make a straight line with the surface of the box, and see what is drawn on the box! ”
With that, he jumped down and stood aside.
I was a little taller than Chen Laosan, and he had to stand on tiptoe to make his eyes in a straight line with the surface of the box, which I easily did.
Left eye? Why is it the left eye? I wondered in my heart, but I still followed what Chen Laosan said, closed my right eye, and then aimed the eyeball of my left eye at the upper surface of the box.
At this look, I chuckled in my heart, standing from my angle, according to Chen Laosan's way, a golden phoenix appeared on the black box in front of me. It is a phoenix bird that is flying as if foraging, and it is depicted vividly, as if it were alive.
"It's a phoenix! It's a phoenix! I exclaimed.
"Shall I see?" Li Xiaobai pushed me aside with an elbow, and he rushed up in a hurry.
"How can there be! Where is Phoenix? ”
I scolded angrily, "You are in a hurry to be reincarnated! Then he said it as he had just done.
Li Xiaobai is very obedient, what do I say, what does he do, I feel wow wow scream, but no matter how you look at it, you can't see the phoenix engraved on the box.
At this time, Chen Laosan sneered twice: "Forget it!" The phoenix is a mythical bird! He couldn't see it even if it was dark. ”
Li Xiaobai was not convinced, but since he experienced those things in Ningxia together, he seemed to be very jealous of Chen Laosan, and muttered a few words. Just shut up.
Chen Laosan whispered to me; "I'm afraid this box can only be opened by human blood sacrifices, this blood ......," Chen Laosan paused and continued, "This blood is not just for just one person. ”
I understood what he meant, and hurriedly asked Zhang Kailong for a dagger, gritted his teeth, cut the index finger of his left hand, squeezed it with his right hand, and waited until the blood gathered into a big blood droplet, and then I used my "finger snapping magic power of the nineteenth generation" kung fu to bounce to the phoenix's eyes.
