Chapter 26: The Four Cursed Families (1)
It's not the first time I've seen this kind of mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark, Jiang Yuan and several of them also have it on their wrists, I used to think that this kind of birthmark was a kind of mark for Hanhai Company's personnel under them, but today after listening to Mu Jia's words, I began to be confused again, but soon this confusion became clear.
Xiaodong doesn't know the origin of the birthmark on his wrist, but Mu Jia can clearly explain the source, not only that, Mu Jia also said that the mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark is not everyone's own, and some people will imitate this birthmark on some people's bodies for some purposes, but it can't be fake, it can't be fake, and what others get is at best a tattoo, a code and sign with a special status, but, in today's world, Only the Wu family and the tomb keeper family of the owner of the Lingyunding Tomb knew the real mystery of the mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark.
According to Mu Jia, the owner of the Lingyun Mountain Tomb was a princess before her death, not the rumored Night King of the Ancient West, or some prince general, and this princess had a mysterious relationship with the high priest of the country during her lifetime, and knew some Huangquan secret techniques, and later because of the political situation, she was finally sealed and died, but she was too angry during her lifetime, so that the soul did not disperse after death, and the soul devouring tried to die.
Later, when a Taoist who had traveled here heard about this, he volunteered to promise the lord of the kingdom that as long as he did what he said, he would definitely seal the princess's soul forever.
The lord of the kingdom is the princess's own brother, but because the history is too far away, the only words left behind can only understand the general outline of the matter. The details are skipped, and Mu Jia only knows. Later, according to the request of this Taoist, the lord of the country opened a mountain in the Great Snow Mountain and built a royal tomb, because she was a princess during her lifetime. So after the death of the royal tomb specifications are not considered to be more than the ceremony, under the snow of 10,000 years, the mausoleum cost 100,000 craftsmen and countless gold and silver to build, after the completion, he personally selected twelve people in the court as generations of tomb keepers, these twelve people are born in the Xuanyue Xuanri teenagers, their task is to enter the mausoleum to guard the coffin for 7749 days, when the time comes, if it is safe. That means that this soul-devouring ghost has been completely sealed, and when the time comes, twelve people can retreat with their whole bodies, put down the golden crystal and completely seal the tomb road, plus the cover of 10,000 years of snow on the Great Snow Mountain, I believe that no one will find here.
Seven seven and forty-nine days later, everything is even,
According to what the Taoist said, these twelve people exited the main tomb of the underground palace at one time. Putting down one stone gate after another, everything was going well, but at the moment when a young man surnamed Wu among them put down the golden crystal, a red phantom rushed straight in. He couldn't dodge, and the phantom entered his body from the center of his brow, and then the golden crystal was lowered. The tomb was also sealed.
However, it was not the lord's commendation that awaited them outside. It's a merciless killing.
Secret, this time absolute secret. It can definitely be leaked out, and it is impossible for twelve people to know this secret at the same time, in that encirclement, these twelve people saw the corpse of the Taoist in the snow, he was pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, and his eyes were wide before he died, as if he was expecting something, waiting for something.
This young man surnamed Wu knew that his doom could not escape, so he was very calm, in his opinion, this Taoist was just a cultivator who traveled here, helping the lord of the country to solve the dilemma, but he suffered this misfortune, he really couldn't bear it, he walked over, knelt beside the Taoist man, and wanted to close his eyes, after all, if people die with their eyes open, they will go to hell and cannot be reincarnated.
Just when his hand was on this person's eyes, he suddenly felt this person's eyes move, and in a panic, he took his hand away, but saw that the person had closed his eyes, and his expression was extremely peaceful, as if his wish had been fulfilled.
The killing will not stop, although the twelve teenagers are strong in martial arts and are not idle people, but in the face of the cold arrows and the thousands of elite soldiers, they still fell one after another.
When Mu Jia said this, he suddenly stopped, I thought he was going to rest, but he didn't mean it, he just looked at me, I was furious by his eyes, smiled awkwardly, and asked, "What's the matter, you continue." ”
"Are you from the Xiao family?" He asked me suddenly, very formally.
He asked me with such an attitude, but I lost my mind, do I tell the truth, or use Guan Yue's identity to explore the truth, just at this moment of my hesitation, Mu Jia said: "You don't say it and you can't change your fate, among the twelve teenagers back then, four of them did not die, these four people survived the catastrophe, but they are still loyal to the lord of the country, so they did not take refuge in neighboring countries and did not avenge themselves, they just worshiped as brothers, and then lived in seclusion in the Central Plains, a place called Liushazhuang." ”
I exclaimed, "Quicksand? That's what you mean."
"He's right." Zhang Xianjun's voice came, and Xiao Wu behind him said as he walked: "This used to be the gathering place of Wu, Xiao, Zhang, and the Bai family, the four major families."
I said, "Then why is it a forbidden place, why is there an ancestor Xunsheng in the Wu family who can't enter, and what about the other three families?" ”
Zhang Xianjun walked in front of Mu Jia, the two of them were equally imposing, no one was afraid of anyone, their eyes were looking at each other, about half a minute or so, Zhang Xianjun suddenly smiled, turned around and walked towards the sealed land, and said as he walked: "The Wu family is cursed, the Bai family has changed their name and surname to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, the Xiao family is hidden in the market, only our Zhang family is still guarding the oath of thousands of years, today, you are all here, it seems that we don't have much time." ”
Xiao Wu looked at Zhang Xianjun's back as he walked farther and farther away, and he said: "The curse of the Wu family is about to end in our generation, and when the mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark on my and Xiao Dong's wrists completely disappears, the Wu family will completely disappear in this world, and the other three families will also be affected by the curse of the Wu family, and they will be passed on one by one, until all the people of the four families disappear, and this curse will not end." ”
Mu Jia's expression was heavy, he looked at me, and said, "You know the Huangquan ciphertext, but do you know why your Xiao family can master this kind of script proficiently?" ”
To be honest, I never thought about this problem, I have always thought that I learned how to recognize this kind of ciphertext, so I will, if it is someone else, it is okay, but Mu Jia asked, I suddenly thought of one thing, that is, why Jiang Yuan can recognize a little bit of Huangquan ciphertext, while others can't, their qualifications are several times higher than mine, and Jiang Baichuan's concentration camp is full of talents, why didn't I think of teaching them to learn this kind of script.
Now it seems that it is not that they do not teach, but that ordinary people cannot learn at all.
I was thinking about this question in my head, but Mu Jia still gave me the answer, according to what he said, not everyone can learn and understand the Huangquan ciphertext, only the family members who invented this ciphertext and their descendants will know how to master this kind of script, this is an innate talent.
Xiao Wu looked at me, and I looked at Mu Jia, there was no word between each other, because, many things can't be said, can't be expressed, and at this moment, a rumbling sound came, the muffled sound didn't seem to come from the sky or around, listen carefully and feel like it came out of the ground, that kind of rumbling, not an earthquake, because we didn't feel the tremor, just when everyone was wondering where the sound came from, Zhang Xianjun suddenly came over from the sealed mound, beckoned to us as he walked, and said: "No one who should come can hide from it, Come in with me.
