CHAPTER XIX
At this time, the third uncle asked me another question: "Do you hear any key information from the story I just said?" ”
I feel like I've been dizzy, the third uncle's way of telling stories is really peculiar, true and false, false and true, every paragraph is actually an impromptu Q&A, it's just that I can't desert! If he goes to be a teacher, it must be at the level of a provincial model teacher, and there is a camera to follow while lecturing, and the teaching video can be hung on the education network for collective worship!
I have no power to complain, so I can only follow the teacher's train of thought and continue to think. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I recalled all the details that the third uncle had just said, and thought of a point that might be the point, "Could it be that the key lies in Yama's attitude towards the two boys?" ”
"Hehe, that's one of them, but it's not the most important thing!"
If I think about it again, I don't have enough brains, so I can only say that I am actually a scumbag, teacher, can you give me some more hints......
The old man pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Of all the information I have just spoken, there is one of the most unusual places, that is, the contents of my ancestor Zhan's codex!" ”
"Generally, when we record a diary, we should choose the information records that have the value of recording in our own experience, such as the one I just mentioned, its record value lies in the fact that the ancestor Zhan felt that the female ghost was very pitiful, and he had compassion and specially went to the underworld to intercede for her. As a great wizard, he has long been accustomed to seeing the impermanence of the world, cold and warm, good and evil, and compassion, which he has basically cultivated in the early days of being a wizard, but this incident has made him have this kind of psychology again, so he recorded it. ”
"Ancestor Zhan also mentioned in the codex, in fact, the real situation is that the female ghost was not killed by the father of the official lady, but was killed by her husband Zhou Lang and the woman's father, but the poor female ghost still does not know the truth after her death, and she will go to the underworld to be punished, and after being punished, she will enter reincarnation, and it is difficult to say whether she can re-enter humanity. Ancestor Zhan said that in this incident, he saw the ugliest side of human nature, and this is why he was moved and recorded. ”
I looked away, saying I still hadn't heard anything out of the ordinary.
The third uncle continued: "However, if this codex is seen by a third person, such as you, after reading it, where do you think your first concern should be in this incident? ”
I rubbed my chin and thought about it, if it was me...... I was shocked, yes, the first concern! So here!
"It's your ancestor's attitude towards the twin boys! According to his records, and as you have just said, there is no mention of the two boys in the entire Codex, then...... Then, it means that your ancestor Zhan didn't think the appearance of the twin boys was strange! At least, it wasn't the first time he had heard the name Twin Boys in the mouth of the female Yama, and it was even possible that he knew it! If that's the case, the identity of the twin boys was not so secretive at the time......"
I continued to think, "But this is strange, even if your ancestor Zhan was a wizard at that time, although the circle he came into contact with was mysterious, but if he could understand the two boys, then people from other classes of society would not be completely unaware of it, although the ancients did not write as many books as they do now, there should be more or less records about the two boys, after all, their identities are there, as far as I know, the ancients still liked to write strange books...... But why is it that today, the record of the twin boys is blank? ”
The third uncle showed a relieved smile, nodded and said, "Yes, you finally thought of the key!" ”
As he spoke, the third uncle pulled out the lid of the cylinder, took out the thangka and unfolded it, and suddenly, I saw a special expression on his face, which was the expression of excitement, greed, and ecstasy when he finally got something that he had been looking for for many years.
I couldn't help but feel something strange suddenly, and my heart couldn't help but tighten.
"There are three drawings of the two boys that I have collected, one of which I got from a big collector in England, which is a picture of the hell ghosts in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and they stand on top of the ghosts, and they are in the same form."
"One is from the Warring States period, and it is engraved on a bronze, which is one of a series of burial bronzes, which records the scene of a battle, and the last jar engraved with the two boys, depicting the picture of them coming to bring the ghosts back to the underworld after the battle."
"There is another one, which is the Western Han Dynasty, moved down from a mural, depicting the scene of the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun, the two boys are standing on her side, but unfortunately, the mural was damaged too seriously, and I found a top expert to repair it, and I can only restore 6 percent, and I can't spy on the whole scene. But none of the three paintings in my collection can compare to the value of this picture......"
I asked, "How come those boys are on the same thangka as King Gesar?" What's going on? ”
The third uncle said without leaving the painting: "The age of this thangka is probably drawn at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it should be the thangka used by Tibetan wizards to do Gesar King Yuanguang's divination, which is the most commonly used divination method by Tibetan wizards, but look at the traces of this thangka, so new, it doesn't look like something that has been used, it should just be drawn, but it was sealed in this cylinder before it could be used, I guess, there should be a layer of seal in addition to this cylinder, but now why it is gone, it is unknown......"
I remember that when I was in Chengdu, I had nothing to do, and I used my mobile phone to check the Internet every day to check the relevant information, and I remember that I saw the record of "King Gesar Yuanguang Divination".
The so-called "King Gesar's Divination" is a male shaman's powerful mana who hangs a painting of King Gesar on the wall, and then prepares offerings, butter lamps, and a mirror wrapped in five-colored silk. After the shaman burns incense to the gods, he begins to recite King Gesar's prayers, and then takes a seven or eight-year-old boy from a noble background to the divination house, unveils the five-colored silk, and asks the little boy to look in the mirror, and then according to what the little boy sees, the results of the divination can be obtained.
King Gesar's divination is extremely lofty in the hearts of Tibetans, and legend has it that after the death of the 13th ******** Lama, the regent used this divination method to find the location of the reincarnated spirit child.
But for such an important ceremony, why do you want to draw two boys in the thangka?
The third uncle continued to say slowly: "In the process of investigating the twin boys, I found some relevant clues in the Tibetan area, in the middle to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the twin boys were circulated in the Tibetan area for a period of time, the Tibetan people's worship of the boys, at that time, reached a peak, and it is not surprising that the two boys were painted on some pictures that they considered sacred. But at a point in time at the end of the Ming Dynasty, like the Central Plains, all the records about the two boys disappeared overnight, and they were clean as if they had never appeared, and the books, pictures, legends, and even most people's memories of the deeds of the two boys were gone! ”
"Can they erase people's memories?!" I suddenly felt very ridiculous, could they be "men in black"? Got an amnestic stick?! That's!
The third uncle slowly raised his head from the thangka, looked at me with a cold look in his eyes, and said lightly: "Young man, this world is far more complicated than you know!" ”
Well, I'll admit it, I was confused, but it's far beyond what I can accept, and I can't do it, at least for now.
So, I started asking the third uncle, "Well, even if the two boys have this ability, why do you know that there is this thangka?" Moreover, not only you know, Miss Wei, but even Brother Wu seems to know more or less, this ...... I don't quite understand, since they are so mysterious and unknown to most people, why do these people I come into contact with happen to be among the people who know about it? ”
"Wu Liangchuan is a descendant of Jue's mother, and it is not unusual for him to know about this. The little girl learned from me, and in the process of looking for those things, many times I didn't come forward myself, and let the little girl do it for me, so she also knew about it. ”
I let out an "um" in agreement, and then asked another question: "Third master, can we get back to the topic?" No matter what the identity of these twin boys is, I just want to know, what does all this have to do with me? ”
The third uncle seems to be dissatisfied with my continuous distrustful questions, but I don't know what happened to me at this time, I only feel that this old man has said so much before and after, but I always have a trace of doubt in it, the more I go later, the stronger this feeling becomes, and even begin to believe what Bo Zhong said to me, this third master Hu has other intentions for me?
The third uncle rolled up the thangka again and carefully put it back into the cylinder, but he didn't hand it back to me immediately, he put the cylinder on the sea of tea in front of him, patted it, and a strange smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth: "Young man, I hope you will learn to judge yourself from my words, instead of forcing you like this, don't forget, you are here to beg me to help you solve your troubles......"
The old man's attitude changed in an instant!
I couldn't help but be alert, but I didn't show any abnormality, he smiled, spread his hands, "Okay, since I'm here to beg you, then naturally what you say, how I listen, please, continue!" ”
The third uncle's hand did not leave the cylinder, he slowly rubbed the words on the cylinder, and said slowly: "...... Among the information I have checked, the last time the two boys appeared in the world was at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the specific time was in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, and a major event occurred in that year, or rather, the biggest disaster that has ever happened in Beijing, I think you have heard of it......"
Apocalypse? I thought, in Beijing...... I suddenly remembered, "It's the Apocalypse Big Bang?!" ”
"Yes, it's the Apocalypse Big Bang!"
"At the end of May of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, in Wang Gongchang, Beijing, there was a bizarre explosion that killed and injured more than 20,000 people. But it was precisely a few months before this catastrophe that a sorcerer in Tibet used the new Gesar King Thangka for divination, unexpectedly divination of this catastrophe, the sorcerer took it as bad luck, and immediately sealed it with an ancient spell, and then three days later, the sorcerer died mysteriously. Another theory is that because of the thangka painting two boys, the wizard did not have enough mana but used this to get a glimpse of the heavens, so he did his best to live his life. Later, the sealed thangka was also missing......"
