When I first opened my eyes, my consciousness was still a little scattered, and it gradually gathered after a while.

The faces of the witch and the leader appear above.

"Ah Xuan, how are you?" Ao asked.

Shao Xuan sat up with some difficulty, took a glass of water handed by Wu and drank it, slowed down, and then said, "It's okay." ”

You don't look like "okay". Ao Xindao.

After pouring a few more glasses of water, Shao Xuan felt that his body had disappeared a little, and only then did he briefly talk about what he had found in that wooden house, without mentioning his special ability, only intuition.

Ao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, it was good that he was not attacked.

"That's it?" Wu brought over the wooden plate with the gold dust, and the wooden cylinder with the gold dust.

"Yes. And what about the leaf?" asked Shao Xuan.

Wu and Ao glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"I'll call Gui over and ask again, no, I'll go to the hut myself. Ao said. Gui Yu doesn't lie, if there was a leaf with a pattern painted with gold dust, he would definitely bring it, but no.

"I'll go over and have a look, too. Shao Xuan got up. A little weak, but it's okay to move around.

"I'll go with you. Wu said.

The three people with the highest status in the Yanjiao tribe went out at the same time, and both the tower and the return gully beckoned people to come over and protect them nervously, for fear that an assassin would appear. It's been so unsafe in the tribe lately. Originally, he was still guarding against fierce beasts, but now he finds that people are much more troublesome than fierce beasts.

Coming to the wooden house again, Shao Xuan pointed to the place where he had held the leaves before. I really didn't see that leaf around.

"Has anyone else come in?" Ao asked.

Gui Yan shook his head, "Probably not." "Recently, the people living around here have been busy drawing a line with those two people, how can they come into the house. As for the rest of his followers, he was sure that no one would hide anything.

Wu walked around the house, and then stopped at the place where Shao Xuan had fainted. Squat, stretch out your arms, and brush across the ground.

The air currents driven by the palm of the hand blow the dust on the ground, but there are other dusts that are not blown.

"The leaf, scattered. Wu said.

"Scattered? When I took it out, the leaves looked like they had been freshly picked. It's green. Shao Xuan was surprised. But if the witch is scattered, it is really scattered.

When he returned to the stone house, Wu asked Shao Xuan to stay alone.

"Do you know what your fingers did when you weren't awake?" Wu asked.

"I don't know. Shao Xuan shook his head, at that time, even if he was beaten into a pig's face outside, he couldn't feel it, let alone the movement of his fingers.

"You're knotting the rope. Wu's eyes were meaningful.

"Knotted rope?"

"Hmm. Wu told Shao Xuan about the history of the use of knotted ropes and epilogues, which were mentioned in the precious records left by the ancestors. Although Wu doesn't know very well, he can still roughly guess from those written records.

"And the leaf you are holding is likely to be the 'Banzai Leaf', which is rumored to be rotten in the soil. Wu said again.

"Is there really a long live leaf?" Shao Xuan doubted.

This is not a false statement. Wu dipped the gold dust that was still on the wooden plate with a little bit of his fingers, and said to Shao Xuan: "These are also the powder crumbs made by the Banzai tree where the Banzai leaf is located. ”

Shao Xuan was silent, and Wu didn't care whether he believed it or not, and continued: "It is reported. A long time ago, the leaves. Carapace and other tools were also used by ancestors to pass on the lineage, and precious plants such as banzai leaves were messengers of important inheritance. Shao Xuan, do you know, once. The inheritance of witches has only words, not words.

Even nowadays, words and pictures are popular, but there are many traditions that do not use pictures and texts. For example, some of the abilities that I will pass on to Gui Ze in the future. Such a legacy. Even if they are written down in pictures and texts, they will be destroyed, they will only be stored once, and when the recipient absorbs them, there will be no more words in the world for others to see, and naturally there will be no second person to get that kind of inheritance. ”

"Do you mean that long live leaf is the inheritance that belonged to him recorded by a certain witch?" asked Shao Xuan.

"Yes. ”

"Between different tribes, because of totems and tinder, there should be isolation and exclusion in the inheritance, but why am I not excluded?" And he glanced at the leaf, and fell down. And the leaves that have fulfilled their messenger mission, which they say will never rot in the earth, have dispersed.

This witch can't answer, and he doesn't know a lot of it, so he can't give an answer.

"So, I inherited the legacy of that leaf? I don't know what it was, but I saw a pair of hands, holding a rope in a knot, but it kept wrapping it, and never finished a knot. Shao Xuan told me about the picture he had seen in the sea of consciousness, hoping to get some hints from Wu.

Wu stroked his beard, and pulled off two of them, still still not figuring out what it was.

"So, tomorrow you go to Guize's side and let her teach you how to tie the rope. Wu said, "From the knotted rope before the appearance of writing to the stone bone and wood veneer after the appearance of writing, the way of inheritance has been changing. The ancient method of knotting ropes is, in my opinion, very mysterious. In ancient times, divination, deeds, notes, and other things were all used to tie ropes. ”

"Just a few knots can represent so many things?" Shao Xuan said. But as soon as this sentence came out, he couldn't wait to slap himself.

Stupid! The thing related to the profession of witch, of course, can't be reasoned with, even if they draw an egg, you can't think that it is really an egg, let alone a few ropes and a few knots.

I originally thought that the current one was already ancient, but I didn't expect that there were even more ancient things.

However, Shao Xuan was really interested in the knotted rope record, and he wanted to find out what kind of message that leaf wanted to convey. The letters are all long live leaves, and the things that are passed on are also precious, how precious?

The next day, Shao Xuan went to Guize's medicine house.

Wu had already told Gui Ze about the matter, and when he saw Shao Xuan, Gui Ze put down the matter at hand and pointed to some animal skin rolls on the wooden table on the side, "That's all for you by Wu." ”

Shao Xuan untied the animal skin scroll and looked at it, there were some diagrams composed of ropes and knots, and there were annotations to the current text next to it. The animal skin roll is still new, and the time to leave the zuò is only a few years. It should be that when Gui Ze was learning the epilogue, Wu transcribed it from the ancient books of the ancestors.

Gui Ze brought over some straw ropes again, "These are all made by me before last winter, you can use this to try, this is convenient." ”

"Thanks, when the time comes, make a straw rope and call me. I'm here to help. Shao Xuan pulled out a straw rope and looked at it. These ropes are smooth, without so many burrs, and each one is about the same length, about the thickness of a baby's little finger, and the toughness is very suitable.

Gui Ze sat down, also pulled out a straw rope, and then compared each picture on the animal skin scroll, and told Shao Xuan how to tie the knot. What kind of knot represents what kind of meaning. Sometimes, knots that look very similar have very different meanings, which is probably the way of knotting knots used to convey hidden messages.

Gui Ze taught Shao Xuan some very simple knots, the same as those drawn on the animal skin scroll, when all the animal skin scrolls were learned, Shao Xuan could use the rope to type a sentence.

Because it's not that hard. Shao Xuan's memory is also good, after comprehending some skills. Let Gui Ze go to her business, there are still a lot of medicines to deal with in the medicine house. He himself took his time here and tried it step by step.

Gui Ze saw that Shao Xuan's side was indeed progressing smoothly, so he went back to continue making medicine.

The snapping turtle lying in the doorway moved its heavy body, changed places, closed its eyes and continued to bask in the sun.

Little by little, time passed. There are fewer and fewer animal skin scrolls on the left side of Shao Xuan's hand, and when he finally tries all the records in it, Shao Xuan can also roughly understand some simple conclusions. As for the more complicated ones, Wu didn't give them, and perhaps there are not many records of knotted ropes passed down in the tribe. Witch can sue sù his limitations.

There are still a lot of straw ropes that Gui Ze brought over, Shao Xuan thought about it, observed the line drawing in his mind, and soon, he entered that state again, looking at the pair of hand knotted ropes that appeared.

I didn't understand anything last time, but this time, Shao Xuan still has a bit of a foundation, but, gradually, Shao Xuan realized that this is different from the conclusions he just learned, perhaps, it wants to express another meaning.

According to what Wu said, the method of knotting ropes, in more ancient times, was used in various aspects, one did not work, and there were others? There are also knotted rope divination, knotted rope deed, and so on, since it is not like an ordinary record, then, can it be divination or something else?

Shao Xuan continued to observe the movements of his hands, and when he got out of that state, he moved his neck a little weakly, feeling that something was wrong with his hands, and when he looked down, his fingers were tied with straw ropes.

I don't know how to beat it, a straw rope, I was stunned to tie all ten fingers, Shao Xuan wanted to untie it, but he didn't know where to start for a while, so he could only rub the straw rope off his fingers little by little.

When all the straw ropes in his hands were pulled down, the straw ropes had been wound together, and they couldn't be untied, so Shao Xuan tied the straw rope into a big knot and threw it at the snapping turtle.

The snapping turtle that was basking in the sun slowly opened its eyes, saw a ball of grass rope next to it, opened its mouth to bite into its mouth, and chewed slowly.

Shao Xuan slowed down, recalled the movements of the hands he had just seen, and pulled a straw rope to continue.

Fail!

Failed again!

Fail again!

......

The grass ropes were wound into chaotic grass balls that could not be untied, and they were thrown to the snapping turtle, no matter how fast Shao Xuan's knotting rope was, it still maintained its original slow speed to chew the grass rope. Therefore, when Shao Xuan's speed was getting faster and faster, there were more and more chaotic grass balls next to the snapping turtle.

Gui Ze, who was pounding medicine, glanced at Shao Xuan from time to time, and thought: Isn't Shao Xuan quite smart? How can you tie a knot and tie all your fingers?

When Shao Xuan used the straw rope next to him until there were only about a dozen left, he stopped.

Wiping the sweat on his face, Shao Xuan walked out of the medicine house in prostration, and if he continued tomorrow, he didn't believe in what was passed by Banzai Ye as a messenger, and he could only make a chaotic ball of grass! (To be continued......)
