Chapter 177: Tortoise Shell

Because a joke between the shrine maiden and her playmate in a dream happened mysteriously in reality.

Let her realize that she is not only simulating the future, but also changing the future, bringing the bizarre things in the dream to reality.

She was frightened, and she stopped dreaming.

But when she was captured by the Taiping army, she was deceived by Zhang Jiao's clever tongue and served the Taiping Dao again and became their goddess.

I can't help but think of Li Qingfeng once saying that Taoism is nothing more than a tool used by rulers.

The world has not changed, and the shrine maiden was just a tool at that time.

When I heard her mention the three words of the hidden earth, my heart chuckled.

It seems that it is no accident that she was buried in the hidden ground.

She continued: "When Zhang Jiao was young, he once went into the mountains to collect medicines, and was taught three books of Taiping Techniques by Nanhua Immortals, which recorded various spells, including the Hidden Hidden Land. Because the hidden land is just a legend recorded in the book, no one knows the reality, and he can't find it, so he hasn't paid attention to it. It wasn't until later that the Taiping army discovered a ruin in Liangcheng. ”

Liangcheng is the ancient Song City, which is now Shangqiu, which is said to have been built on the ruins of Yin Shang.

The ruins found here are related to Yin Shang?

She continued: "At that time, the war was tense, and no one paid attention to the ruins, thinking that they were just ancient tombs left by their predecessors. Among them are many tortoise shells, with strange characters engraved on them, and most of the Taiping army are peasants, and there are few who can read, let alone these heavenly books. And no one cared. However, in the ruins, they also found a strange black thing, which they brought out. As a result, soon the whole Liangcheng was full of strange things, and ghosts often cried at night. ”

Hearing this, I immediately understood that the black thing was the meteoric iron, because it had powerful spiritual power, which made ghosts afraid, and at that time, there were more lonely souls and wild ghosts, so there would be ghosts crying because of fear at night in the city.

I asked, "That black thing, isn't that meteorite?" ”

She nodded, and continued: "At that time, the army found that the meteorite was not an extraordinary thing, so it was dedicated to me, the goddess. But I didn't know what it was, so they took me to the ruins where the meteorite came from. When I arrived at the ruins, I found that there were many tortoise shells scattered there, and the words engraved on them were very similar to those used in the sacrifices of the ancient Song Kingdom, and some of them I still knew. ”

According to the records in the history books, during the Warring States Period, each vassal state had its own script, and it was not until Qin Shi Huang that it was unified, and there was a saying that the book is the same text and the car is the same track.

Presumably, as a descendant of Yin Shang, the sacrifices of the ancient Song Kingdom still use the script of the year.

I hurriedly asked, "What are those tortoise shells recorded?" Is it a hidden place? ”

She nodded and said, "Those tortoise shells are very messy because they have been touched by the Taiping Army, and a lot of them have been lost. In those scattered tortoise shells, I found that the three words that often appear in these words are hidden and mysterious. When Zhang Jiao heard about the ghost crying and asked me, I told him what I knew, and at this time, he suddenly realized that the hidden land recorded in the "Taiping Yaoshu" is definitely not a legend, and may really exist. So, he asked the Taiping army to collect and sort out all the tortoise shells, and let me stay in the ruins to decipher the contents. ”

I was very excited and asked, "Have you cracked it?" What's on it, and what is the secret of the hidden land? ”

She continued: "While comparing the written records of the ancient Song Kingdom, I deciphered the contents of the tortoise shell and found that this ruin may be a place of sacrifice during the Yin Shang period, and the owner of these tortoise shells may be the most famous witch of the Yin Shang Dynasty. ”

I couldn't wait to hear what was below, and I chimed in, "Who?" ”

She looked at me and said, "Wu Xian." ”

Wu Xian? I remember that Li Qingfeng once mentioned in his book that Wu Xian was a famous witch in the Yin Shang period, and he admired Wu Xian very much, thinking that he could see through the heavens.

The shrine maiden continued, saying, "From the records on the tortoise shell, I learned that Wu Xian had also tried to find the hidden land. Moreover, the existence of the hidden land has existed for longer than I imagined, and it may have existed since the beginning of human beings. During the Yin Shang period, he believed in the Emperor of Heaven and believed that the Emperor created the world, so Wu Xian believed that those hidden lands may have been set up by the Emperor of Heaven, just like the acupuncture veins of human beings, and the hidden occult lands may be the acupuncture veins of the earth. It is said that what is related to the hidden land is the mother of the earth. ”

I asked, "Houtu, the mother of Houtu, is called the god of the earth?" ”

She nodded, and continued: "These may be the highest secrets of Yin Shang, but unfortunately in the later wars, they were slowly lost and forgotten. ”

I asked again, "So Wu Xian, have you found the hidden land?" ”

"You can say you found it, or you can say you didn't," she said. ”

I wondered how to say that.

She explains: "Wu Xian, as the highest-ranking witch in the middle of the Yin Shang period, represented the communication between man and the gods, and he had the right to mobilize the power of the state and consult all the records. After his investigation, he learned that at the beginning of the establishment of the Shang Dynasty, in the north, there was a blockade land, where there were the exploits of the early Shang Dynasty, and it was guarded for generations. So, he went there, got the key, and entered the blockade. It was only there that something happened beyond his knowledge, so much so that he later gave up looking for the hidden land, and these tortoise shells were also left here. ”

I asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

She shook her head and said, "There is no record in the tortoise shell, but Wu Xian believes that it is not something that the world can covet, and that key is the black meteorite." ”

At this time, I fully understood, she said that Wu Xian went to the north, could it be Mobei, and this meteorite is the key to unlocking the blockade place.

No wonder the Gen organization will be hit hard, even a powerful wizard like Wu Xian can mobilize the power of the country, he does not dare to covet it.

What kind of bullshit are you in the Gen organization, it's really wishful thinking.

The shrine maiden continued, "Later, I reported the matter to Zhang Jiao and persuaded him to give up the hidden land. However, he was taught by the Nanhua Immortals, and he was a little conceited, and the attraction of the hidden land was so great that he became obsessed and could not give up. He ordered people to consult all the materials to find traces of the hidden land, and finally found them again in those ancient books. The hidden earth is like the stars in the sky, and the four directions of the earth are also distributed everywhere. Since the north can't snoop, there are always other places to find, he learned that there is a place under Mount Tai, but at that time it was still within the scope of the Han family, and he couldn't go there. To the west was the Han capital of Chang'an, and the guards were strong. So, Zhang Jiao set his sights on the south, planning to capture here. ”

"He kept coaxing me, telling me that as long as I could get the power of the Hidden Realm, I would be able to defeat the Han family faster and establish a new peaceful world. And I, who have always believed in him, hope to end this troubled world. I dreamed for him, predicted the outcome, and stormed the city. But slowly, I found out that the Taiping army had deteriorated. Those who were originally just poor peasants, after seeing the results of the war, began to loot the spoils of war, and even those who were originally poor were robbed. And Zhang Jiao turned a deaf ear to all this, he only thought about the hidden land. I began to become conflicted, and I even doubted that I would ever build a peaceful world in the future. And every time I see those people who died because of my dreams, my heart is tormented. I began to hide in my dreams and complain to my companions, who kept comforting me but encouraging me to explore the secrets of my dreams. ”

At this time, she stood up, looked at the people coming and going in the city, and said, "Everyone, dreams. And I've finally found a way to enter someone else's dream. So, the first thing I entered was Zhang Jiao's dream. ”

At this time, she burst into tears and said slowly: "In my heart, in the reputation of the Taiping Army, Zhang Jiao has always been an immortal-like existence, he treats the sick, punishes the evil and promotes the good. Dreaming of building a peaceful world. I hate my father, and in my heart, Zhang Jiao is my spiritual father. I admire him. When I entered his dream, I realized that he was nothing more than a pleasure-goer. He only dreams of getting power, getting power, becoming the new ruler. In my heart, his tall image was shattered. I felt pain, I felt regret, I felt helpless. I found my playmate and cried to her. She also followed the sadness for a long time, and soon, Zhang Jiao became more crazy, and the Taiping army began to lose control and began to massacre the occupied areas. ”

"In the dream, I was already weak, and at that time, my playmate persuaded me that I must end everything, and the only way is to enter Zhang Jiao's dream and kill him in his dream."

Then the shrine maiden looked at me and said, "She has always been braver and more assertive than me, and after listening to her advice, I also thought that this was the only way to end the war, but only later did I learn that she had another purpose." ”
