Chapter 334: My Ancestors
The man's face trembled slightly, and he looked very laborious: "Empress Dowager Qin Xuan, the eighth son of Miyue Mi who stayed in Yan Country as a hostage, Princess Mi." ”
As soon as I heard this name, my ears suddenly became hot, and I immediately got up: "Miyue?"
"Don't call the princess by her name, it's rude. The soldier said.
The three of us were shocked by this name, and they didn't say anything for a long time.
The soldier whistled, and a dark figure ran out of nowhere, circling around the soldier a few times.
"Now that you know the secrets here, ......"
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became nervous, could this man be a murderer? I stared at the soldier with wide eyes, and the broken sword was already clenched in my hand.
The soldier coughed, "Then please go out, and don't disturb the princess's leisure." ”
Hearing this, I was relieved and slowly let go of my hand, but I really didn't see any murderous aura on the soldier's face.
"We also wanted to go back, but we couldn't find an exit. ”
"Go back as you come in!" said the soldier.
Wu Shu kept shaking his head and teasing the dog with a wooden stick.
Only then did I take a closer look at the dog, with yellow hair and an old skin without tendons, and it drooped very much.
"I really don't know how you've spent all these years here, and you haven't died?"
"Dead, but alive again. ”
"What?" I asked, "and no one has been in since then?"
The soldier shook his head: "You are still the first wave of people who can get here. ”
After a while, I didn't know what Wu Shu did to the old dog, and the old dog chased him around.
I have a feeling that Wu Shu must have regretted his behavior in starting to tease the old dog, because he had already lost one of his shoes.
"If this is really the burial place of Princess Mi, what is the matter with the neatly arranged pits outside?" asked Ah Cai.
The soldier said, "It was used for blood sacrifices." ”
"Blood sacrifices?
When the soldier saw us asking us like this, he also smiled lazily: "Since you are so curious about this place, then I will be a guide, although my duty is to prevent outsiders from entering, but I seem to see my shadow in you." ”
"Uncle was also involved in tomb robbing back then?"
"Of course, but I've changed my ways. ”
Ah Cai and I laughed in harmony and followed the soldiers to the pits.
I looked down at the pit, and if I said that it was a blood sacrifice, I knew that it must have been a sacrifice of a living person, but I couldn't see any bones in it.
The soldier dug out a dome from the side of the pit, a pottery with a curved belly: "This is the pit where the blood sacrifice is performed, and the purpose of this pit is to throw the items of the blood sacrifice into it, and then collect the blood in the pottery in my hand and sprinkle it into the pit." ”
"Blood—how much blood does it take to fill this pit?" I asked.
The soldier smiled and said, "It seems that you have all misunderstood, our princess is not the kind of tyrant, she has to use living sacrifices, here is just to use some things she usually likes as sacrificial supplies, and use the blood of our followers to drop a few drops into the pottery to show our allegiance to her." ”
"What's the matter with those soldiers at the door?" I asked.
"Those soldiers are all corpses brought back from the battlefield, because they have made war exploits, so they are specially given to guard the princess's spirit, which is also a great gift to them. ”
Hearing this, I felt that what this soldier said was quite reasonable.
But Ah Cai circled around the pit and did not speak for a long time.
At this time, I also felt that something was wrong, as if there was something missing, and when I saw the soldier's kind face again, I remembered: "No, you said that those soldiers were all killed in battle, then those maids, and you!"
"Oh, the same is true of the maids, some of them are willing to accompany the funeral, and some are reluctant to give up the princess, as for me!" said the soldier, who paused, and suddenly drew a short sword from his waist and stretched it out in front of me.
As soon as I saw it, I took a few steps back, then drew my broken sword and said to the soldier, "What are you going to do?"
"Seeing that you're scared, I'm going to kill you a long time ago, and I still have to wait until now?" the soldier said, stabbing his finger with a short sword, dripping a few drops of blood and putting it into the pottery.
"Come, you drop a little too, and let the two of them drop a little too in a moment. ”
"What is this for?"
The soldier smiled, "In order to show respect for the princess, we will first drop blood to show our allegiance to her, so that if we find an exit in her territory, it will not be rude!"
As soon as I heard that it made sense, I immediately cut a hole in my finger and dripped a few drops of blood into the pottery.
The soldier smiled faintly, and was about to greet Ah Cai when he suddenly froze and looked back at me suddenly.
I was furious by him, after all, the muscles of this person's face have not completely relaxed, and there is always some weird feeling when looking at people.
The soldier stared at me with a strange expression: "Young man, what is your name?"
"My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Yan!"
"What an interesting name, but there's something strange right now. As he spoke, he handed me the clay in his hand.
When I looked down, I was stunned that the blood stains in the pottery didn't seem to show any signs of division in the water, and they were perfectly mixed together.
I was immediately a little blindsided, this is a real blood confession. I go, can't I, an old antique from hundreds of years ago, his blood can be mixed with my blood, so we were a family hundreds of years ago?
The soldier didn't slow down for a long time, until Ah Cai ran from the side of the pit and saw the expressions of the two of us, which interrupted the communication between my god and God.
"You two met hundreds of years ago?"
My lips moved up and down a few times, but I knew I wasn't saying anything at all.
And the soldier said, "There is the blood of the two of us in this pottery, and the two drops of blood in the pottery tell us that we are a family." ”
"People hundreds of years ago were in the same family as my little brother?" Ah Cai was also surprised, she immediately pierced her finger with her short sword, and dropped a few drops of blood into the pottery, but it really didn't mix with the previous blood.
She didn't believe her eyes, and turned her head and shouted Wu Shu, Wu Shu was being chased by a dog, and he ran to us in a panic.
The soldier grabbed the old dog's tail: "Stop chasing, get down to business!"
The old dog was quite obedient and didn't bark anymore.
Before Wu Shu could make a move, Ah Cai pulled his hand, and with a white light, Wu Shu's blood had already dripped into the pottery.
But this time, it was proved once again that only the blood of me and the old antique could be mixed with the blood in the pottery, and the blood of Ah Cai and Wu Shu were separated.
"Are you my ancestor?" I asked.
The soldier nodded: "The truth is not wrong, but my surname is not Liu, my name is Bear's Ears." ”
"I've never heard of that name. Ah Cai shook his head: "Then since you are the ancestor of Little Brother Yak, you have to leave something for your descendants." ”
When Xiong Er heard this, he smiled: "Since the girl has said so, I see that I have a great fate with you, so give my descendants a book that I have treasured for a long time." ”
Bears Ears followed the normal procedure, picked some flowers and scattered them into a row of deep pits, and then with our blood, lit a little bit of each pit, and after a silent prayer, he led us into the tomb again.
Bears Ears first walked in front of the coffin and saluted: "Your Royal Highness Princess, after so many years, I have finally found my descendants, thank you for your blessing and protection, today I want to pass on to him what belongs to me in your coffin." ”
As soon as Xiong Er finished speaking, he saw the lid of the coffin slowly open, and Xiong Ear's hands slowly lifted it into the air, and the lid of the coffin automatically fell to the ground with his gestures.
From the coffin, there was a burst of floral fragrance, and when we threw all our eyes into the coffin, wanting to see the honor of this famous princess, we suddenly found that the coffin was empty.
In the coffin, there was only a wooden box wrapped in silk, and after opening it, Bears Ears took out a roll of bamboo slips and handed it to me.
"Child, this is a book about metaphysics, called "Returning to Tibet", if you take it back and study it well, it will definitely be good for you in the future. Bears Ears said.
After I took this book of "Returning to Tibet", I put it together with the book of music.
"Ancestor, thank you very much for your love for future generations, but what I want to ask is why there is no princess's phoenix body here, and we still want to see the dignity. ”
Bear's Ears smiled coldly: "The honor of the princess is something that can be seen when you see it?"
I didn't ask again, but at this time, Ah Cai seemed to be very interested in my "Returning to Tibet".
"Little brother, can you show me that book?"
I didn't care, and handed the book to Ah Cai, who squatted aside and looked at the book, but Bear's Ears pulled me aside: "I have a few words to tell you, that book is handed down from the Shang Dynasty, which records all the occult magic decisions from that time to the present, I hope you can go back and study it seriously, and make some contributions to our clan in the future." ”
I didn't refuse, but at this point I always felt that something else seemed to be around us, and after I looked around, I didn't seem to find anything.
"I'll teach you the basics first, and when you go out, follow my instructions to practice the rest of the book, and I'll think you'll get better by leaps and bounds. ”
"Okay, but before I do, I'd like to ask, how are we going to get out of here?"
"Is this?" Bear Ears thought for a while, took out three copper coins from his waist, shook them in his hand, sprinkled them on the ground, and posed a pair of Qiankun hexagrams six times in a row.
I didn't dare to wander when I looked closely, for fear of missing something.
"Ancestor, what does this mean?"
