Chapter Twenty-Six: A Very Old Story

After a year or two, the dazed Lao Xia looked at the familiar but strange person, the person he had seen countless times in the photo.

Summer and autumn stone, this is the name of three people, one.

Helpless, there is no joy of reunion, only indescribable sadness, once a friend side by side, but now he has become a passerby.

This is also creation, or providence, Lao Xia didn't stay long, silently returned home alone, he is no longer the hot-blooded man who dominates Yangcheng with the fat man, and he is no longer the young man who went to Northern Xinjiang with Cha Wenbin, now Lao Xia is just a farmer's son, he is tired and tired, he is the first one among them to lose himself.

Time is lost, there is still time to wait, memory is lost, and he can really only be a memory in other people's mouths.

Will you still gather at Lao Xia's house as before, pushing cups and changing lamps to brag?

Will you still plot for a dog like before, and fall into the well?

No, the past is the past, just as Cha Wenbin said to the fat man when he looked at Lao Xia's distant back: "We have to face reality again after all." ”

Ye Qiu just collapsed, his physique was already stronger than ordinary people, a few bottles drip down, he woke up at noon, and he could already go to the ground in the evening, and he went through the discharge procedures early the next morning and went to Wulipu.

On that day, Cha Wenbin still went to invite Lao Xia, and at the table, the four people who had obviously said nothing looked at each other.

The wine in the cup was drunk by himself, and the dishes on the plate were eaten by himself, and this atmosphere lasted until the end, and the fat man finally sighed: "Cha Ye, is our road about to come to an end?" ”

Cha Wenbin did not answer, he was a lonely man, a man without friends, and he longed to protect the people he loved.

Looking at Lao Xia's somewhat thin back, he just sighed and didn't say anything more.

Another two years have passed, Lion Peak, the mountain temple is still there, and those pyramid-like tombs have long been overgrown with another stubble of wild grass, and the eyes are full of lushness, just like back then.

At the top of the mountain, there was a man who was already waiting, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, watching the land surrender to his feet.

"Young people can't compare to me, I've been waiting too long!"

He seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and he had already spoken as soon as Cha Wenbin and his party reached the top of the mountain: "Don't cross that big bluestone, you don't agree with me, just stand there and say." ”

Ye Qiu's eyes flashed with a hint of light, but soon that glimmer of light dimmed again, and until now he hadn't opened his mouth to say a word.

Cha Wenbin still made a gesture towards the back, although he was sure in his heart that the person was the one who took the group photo in the photo, and the master told Ye Huan not to provoke him.

"Senior, we are here, do you have any advice?"

"Boy, do you want to ask that girl, don't worry, she has been sent back by me, and there is another girl who is a little troublesome. After all, he was preempted by that person, Cha Wenbin, this is also a good name. ”

After saying that, the man actually "giggled"

Strange laughed twice and said, "Boy, you've been to this place, what can you see?" ”

"I can't see it."

Cha Wenbin replied truthfully: "I had a conjecture before, this place should be a symmetrical design of one yin and one yang, with this mountain as the boundary. The younger generation is shallow and does not dare to make a mistake in front of the seniors. ”

"Hey, a good seedling was taught so sour by Old Man Ma, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

The man actually sighed, and he said again, "Qiu'er, come back with me later." ”

His tone was very light but there was a feeling that people couldn't refuse, Ye Qiu was just stunned, and Cha Wenbin gently pulled the corner of his clothes and shook his head at him.

"Do you want to know? Some things can be told to you, but some things can't be told, the fate of the five of you is actually related to one thing: Jizhou people. Cha Wenbin, do you remember that the black dragon once showed you a bronze mirror that day? ”

"Bronze mirror?"

Cha Wenbin remembered that when he was taken away by the black dragon in Savage Tun, he did see a bronze mirror there, and when he saw it for the first time, it was not a real thing, and a picture appeared in Cha Wenbin's mind with a single photo.

"It is said that you are the first person to react when you see that bronze mirror, and you are the only one, originally we thought you were Jizhou people, but unfortunately you were not when you saw the real thing."

Cha Wenbin can still think of that scene, when he first saw the bronze mirror, he had this picture in his mind: in a holy priest's field, there was a gorgeously dressed but masked man standing at the top of the altar, holding a round object in one hand and sighing to the sky, singing an unknown song in his mouth.

Countless believers bowed their heads and bowed, and a light gauze palanquin was slowly carried into the ground, and everywhere they went, the world cheered.

The sedan chair came to the altar, lifted the curtain, and out of the sedan chair came a wonderful woman, but unfortunately her head was covered with a thin veil, and her face could not be seen clearly.

The woman walked up the stairs and slowly walked to the man in the ornate clothes, and fell to one knee.

The man in Chinese clothes handed over the round object in his hand to the masked woman, and the woman fell to the ground, and at this time two shirtless men in hardcover armed with knives and axes came up.

The man helped the woman up, and the big knife in the other person's hand slashed like the wind, and the moment the head left the body, the other man caught it for the first time, and her body gushed blood like a fountain.

Her head was sent to the man in the splendid clothes, and the mouth of the head was closed against the ears of the man in the rich clothes, no more, no less, exactly sixteen strokes.

Then, the head did not move again, as if completing her mission, the man in Chinese clothes waved his arms and said "Ula" in his mouth

With a bang, the crowd below suddenly boiled, and the whole scene fell into a crazy situation...... "This has nothing to do with me." ”

"Hehe, then it's up to you."

The man laughed dryly and said: "If you see it, you see it, originally we always thought that the Jizhou people were a person, and people for thousands of years also thought so, but it's a pity, now it seems wrong, the Jizhou people should be a group of people, I'll tell you a story first." ”

In the "Historical Records", it is recorded that Zhou Wu Wangwen said: "Therefore, those who repair the spectrum should know where they come from, where the surname is given, and where they migrate. This person who repairs the score is the Jizhou people, who can understand the inscription and can explain the "Duque Siwen". After King Wu of Zhou won the dynasty, he became a god in the world, and took the Yanbai flag to seal Bigan but could not succeed, because Bigan had no intention. Therefore, the mound tomb was erected in the way of red burial to bury it, and left the bronze mirror, Jiang Ziya predicted after observing the celestial phenomena: three years ago and the first year of the Zhou people will appear, according to the time calculation, it should be the year you were born, this person must be able to read the sixteen words on the inscription plate, and at the same time will write this lost text, but also with the word "Shen" in the name. As long as you find the Jizhou people, you can bless the dragon veins of the current dynasty, Huaxia can rise, and the descendants of Yan and Huang will be protected by the ancestors. This saying has been stretched for thousands of years, all dynasties want to find the bronze mirror to crack the mystery, until the middle of the Tang Kaiyuan Dynasty, in the suburbs of Luoyang, Henan Yanshi County, there is a farmer ploughing the land to cultivate a copper plate inscription. In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was prevalent, and the peasant wanted to hand over the bronze mirror to the imperial court, but was stopped at the door, so the farmer gave the copper plate to a passing Taoist. This humanist Zhisheng is a disciple of the Maoshan Qingwei Sect who recognized this thing at a glance, so he hurriedly brought it back to the mountain for safekeeping. Later, this copper plate went through several turns, until the fifteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, this copper plate was brought to Henan Weihui Mansion, where the first dynasty was the Gyeonggi pastoral field during the Shang Dynasty, and the prefect at that time was called Zhou Sichen. ”

"Zhou Sichen?"

Hearing this name, Cha Wenbin's brows furrowed, this name is familiar to him.

"That's right, he was later the eighteenth generation head of your Heavenly Righteous Dao, Yongyuan Zhenren. Yongyuan Zhenren translated the sixteen words on this copper plate according to the ancient books, which are: the front post and the back road, the left forest and the right spring, the Ning of the world, this is a treasure! At one time, he thought that this copper plate was the one left by King Wu of Zhou, but in fact, it was later confirmed that this piece of east was a new copper plate inscription written by King Mu of Zhou, the fifth king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, according to the original text written by King Wu of Zhou. Although the words were broken, I didn't understand what these sixteen words meant, and then this thing has been passed down until now, until you see the picture in it. ”

Cha Wenbin said: "What does that have to do with the five of us, we are not Jizhou people, let alone the name of Shen." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's up to you, it's me!"

The man said with a sneer: "Shen is a very old surname, derived from the surname Ji, and has evolved into several surnames in the hundred surnames after several changes. ”
