Chapter 4: Supernatural Events
At this time, the sun was three poles, but a group of people raised a fire on the river bank and began to dance the great god to carry out turtle shell divination, Yun Yao watched this scene boredly, looking at the face of the half-pot millet and waiting for them to finish jumping.
The dance is very primitive, and the inexplicable singing sound in the throat also gives people an eerie feeling, and the sound of firewood crackling and bursting is like a ritual containing real mysterious power.
But what are these people doing? Yun Yao has lived by the river for twelve years, and is used to seeing all kinds of travelers, including Chinese civil servants, merchants, and envoys, but this group of people does not seem to be such people. It is said that it is a civil servant, there are too many people; It is said that it is a messenger, and it is too much to salute; Speaking of businessmen, but too superstitious. Because the merchant's goal is to do business, it is to make a deal, they must have already done divination before going out, and it is impossible to bring so many turtle shells. Of course, it may also be that Yun Yao is rare and strange, after all, although she has traveled through twelve years, she has not traveled everywhere, and she does not know the vastness of this Western Zhou.
It takes time to burn the tortoise shell out of the cracks, and Yun Yao looked at the old bag containing the tortoise shell, which was old but delicate, spliced together from multiple materials, and the craftsmanship was exquisite.
I always feel like there's something in the bag that attracts me.
"Come!" Suddenly, a ghostly voice came from Yun Yao's ears, accompanied by the simple and primitive divination song, which frightened Yun Yao, and quickly looked up, but it was normal, everything was still the same as before.
Strange, is it an auditory hallucination? Yun Yao did hear a resentful voice in his ears just now, but there was nothing strange about the blue sky and white day, it must be because these guys who danced the gods were too weird. It's no wonder that many people will be fooled by the dancing god, this kind of unknown thing is indeed easy to affect people's hearts.
Smack!
At this moment, there was a soft sound, and the delicate cloth bag containing the turtle shell cracked, and the turtle shell inside was scattered to the ground.
Yun Yao immediately took a step back and cleared up the relationship, it was broken by itself, and it had nothing to do with her. She noticed that the men were dancing so vigorously that they didn't notice what was happening.
But if you don't pay attention, you should retreat, so as not to be wronged by them and say that you messed up their turtle shells.
The sun slanted overhead, and the nobleman in the dark silk robe finally burned the tortoise shell open, and began to divinate according to the cracks, to see if it was safe to cross the river.
While the others also stopped to rest and pack up the turtle shells. They didn't suspect that Yun Yao had many hands and feet, they just thought that the bag was in disrepair, so they were pregnant.
"Daji." The noble man smiled with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, we can all cross the river safely, the hexagram is a sign of good luck." ”
"Then don't wait any longer, everyone is ready, let's cross the river." Yun Yao immediately helped everyone prepare: "Put the heavy cargo in the middle to prevent the raft from turning over." ”
There is an advantage in these years, that is, everyone listens to the words of experts, even the Son of Heaven is as good as a stream. Therefore, the social division of labor in the Western Zhou Dynasty is quite meticulous, and all aspects are worked by experts from all aspects, and everyone will definitely not pretend to understand if they perform their duties.
Now in the entire Western Zhou Dynasty, the most unpretending to understand is estimated to be Yunyao who has passed through the transformation.
Everyone was very cooperative, and in the end, the nobleman told the driver to go back first, boarded the canoe himself, and sat in front of Yunyao. This is as a sign of respect, and the boater must sit in the back and the guest in the front.
"Start crossing the river." Yun Yao slid the oars and began to sing: "Ahhh......h
It's not because Yun Yao is in a good mood, but because many people are still scared, so singing to relieve their tension and prevent them from cramping.
The nobles were taken aback, but after hearing the melody, they immediately quieted down, music is the most popular literary and artistic way in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and everyone from the Son of Heaven to Li Min is a music lover.
And Yun Yao sang the pop music of the future, which was indeed unique, and the people who soaked in the icy river water also relaxed and forgot their fears.
As soon as Yun Yao sang, the birds, fish, and beasts really came, the birds overhead, the beasts on the shore, and the fish in the water, all stopped to listen to her singing, and there was a feeling of a concert.
The others also noticed these anomalies, but they were not afraid, they only felt that this was the song of the Inhuman, but it was real music, and real music should sense heaven and earth.
Yun Yao was full of energy, but his voice was loud but not restless, but turned into a power that penetrated his heart.
"The river flows; Don't panic; Skillful and ingenious, cutting wood for the boat; Hurry up, the two sides of the strait come and go......, "If there are officials who collect poems passing by, Yun Yao's poem will definitely be able to get a place in the three hundred poems."
Amid the melodious and powerful singing of the working people, who did not see the slightest feminine delicacy, the canoe had reached the north shore: "Sit down, and after I have tied the boat, you will come up again." ”
The singing stopped, and the animals dispersed.
There was another rush of hustle and bustle, and the swimmers went into the house to light a fire to keep warm, then put on dry clothes and began to unload the goods.
"How long will it take to go to Lu Guodu?" The noble man asked.
"If the car is in a hurry, it will almost be there when it gets dark." If you don't miss the time for fortune telling, you can get there before dark.
After looking at the sky, the noble man decided to continue on his way: "I'm sorry for you to call a car." ”
Simple, Yun Yao took out a reed leaf, stood at the door and blew it three times in a row, no need to run at all, Caiyi heard the sound, the car man naturally knew that there were guests who needed a carriage, and they would prepare a carriage to come and greet them.
"What kind of instrument is this?" The nobleman was very curious.
"It's not a musical instrument, it's a reed leaf, and we're connected by that." It's just a sound made by the vibration of the leaves.
"Magical."
"A lot of leaves can make a sound, otherwise the wind won't rustle over the leaves." Yun Yao said.
"I thought the sound of the leaves was caused by the collision of each other, but it turned out that the wind blew the leaves?" The nobleman was very surprised, but he didn't have much time to discuss music with Yun Yao, because the chariot man would come soon, and the nobleman would have to hurry.
The two variegated horses, which are also Guogong's, are only handed over to Yun Yao to raise, and the state will recruit all the carriages and horses when needed. And there is no reward for raising it well, but it will be punished if it is bad.
The two horses changed several times, but there were no accidents, and they were very useful.
Loading, getting on the car, and setting off, the nobleman saluted Yun Yao: "When I come back, I will pass by here, and I want to talk to Du Niang." ”
Yun Yao could only say, "Welcome." "If people want to come, they can't move away. However, Yun Yao didn't think that these big names would remember him, and he would definitely throw himself out of the clouds in a few days.
In Yun Yao's view, the nobleman's promise is not as important as the pot of millet he left behind.
After sending off the nobles and his party, Yun Yao began to pack up his things, the time is not early, and it is estimated that there will be no other guests today. At this moment, Yun Yao found that she seemed to have a hard thing in her arms, bulging and cold, what could it be?
Yun Yao put his hand into the placket of his clothes, took out this thing and looked at it, and immediately his hair stood upside down, it turned out to be a palm-sized black turtle shell, and no one knew how and when it ran into the clothes of the traverser.
