Chapter Twenty-Nine: Heavenly Book Spirit Stone
Xiaobai and his entourage went out from the west gate of Jiangyang City, walked to about ten miles, turned to the north, and the catkins gradually became scarce. The accompanying team of silver-armored knights guarded the formation, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates opened the way, so it was not majestic.
Go north for another ten miles, the terrain appears undulating as a spirit mound, the trees gradually become dense forests from a few sparse, and the pine and locust trees in the forest are the majority, and there is less catkins to disturb.
Along the way, there is a pavilion in 100 steps, a post in 10 steps, and there are silver-armored knights in the posts, and there are clear whistles in front and back, and the young man secretly admires such specifications of guards.
After walking about two or three miles through the forest, all the people got off their horses, abandoned the carriage, and went forward on foot.
Yanli ran to Yu Xiaoye and Yunzhu to go together, and was stopped by Yunzhu when he was talking, Hongyu didn't want to disturb the two, Fangfang may have understood some things between men and women, and kept a distance from Yunzhu Xiaoye.
And the strange thing is that all the people are as light as possible for fear of making a loud noise.
The master was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "This road is also gentle, why did you abandon the carriage and horse on foot?"
"Childe whispers, don't disturb the gods." Yunzhu replied softly.
Although as a modern person, how can I believe in ghosts and gods, but seeing that everyone is pious and light, Xiaoye also learned.
About two or three miles away, there is a building complex. The scale is no less than the palace in Jiangyang City, five in and five out, symmetrical left and right, a treasure hall is tall and majestic from afar, the heavy eaves are gilded, and it stands out from the surrounding trees.
"This is the Heavenly Book Spirit Stone Palace, I don't know when it was built." Yunzhu beckoned the master to lower his head and whispered in a low voice.
"Oh." Xiao Ye was surprised that in this era with a similar degree of civilization to the Qin and Han dynasties, there were palaces that could only be built in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Nearby, in front of the main gate of the palace, a majestic general, Yunzhu stepped forward and saluted: "Yunzhu has seen Gu Hou." ”
Gu Hou, originally a junior general in the army, went out with Zhuang Gong, saved Zhuang Gong's life when he was in danger, and was crowned a marquis from a viscount. Gu Hou was loyal and brave in martial arts, and Zhuang Gong stayed by his side as a personal guard.
Also because he had saved Zhuang Gong, all the princes and nobles respected three points, and their people were few words, almost did not interact with others, Gu Hou won the trust of Zhuang Gong, and almost became one of the most important staff officers of Zhuang Gong to formulate a strategy for killing and conquering.
Gu Hou had already heard that Lord Weng and Xiaobai were coming, and he had to wait here for a long time. Gu Hou bowed and saluted without saying much.
The Heavenly Book Spirit Stone Palace only allows people with titles and their families to enter, and Fang Fang and a group of servants can only wait outside the palace.
The four of them walked lightly behind Gu Enough, not daring to speak, as if they were afraid of stepping on the floor tiles, although the master did not believe in the gods, but the pious behavior of the others and the solemn palace buildings created an atmosphere that made people have to believe in the gods above their heads.
In front of the main hall, a group of people were kneeling and worshipping, and the young master looked far away to see that there were Zhuang Gong and his four sons in the crowd. The ceremony was simple, there was no guard of honor, no tribute, just a group of people doing a seemingly repetitive kneeling ceremony, and the leader was Zhuang Gong.
Gu Hou asked the four of them to stay here. You can only enter after the worship of the Zhuang Gong is over.
Looking at the solemn and solemn salute of the Zhuang Gong, the young master thought in his heart which god is enshrined in this hall, worthy of such a bow by the king of a country? He has been reading in his spare time for the past few months, and he has never read a saint like Confucius, and his curiosity has become stronger and stronger, but he does not dare to ask.
Less leaning, the worship ended, and Zhuang Gong led everyone to the master.
The master bowed his hand, and Yunzhu and the others all bowed.
Zhuang Gong didn't care about the rudeness of the master, they all waved their hands to excuse themselves, and then turned around and washed their hands briefly in the copper basin brought by the guard.
"Little white boy, this is Ling Lang's courtesy?" Zhuang Gong smiled and looked at Yan Li, who was staring at Zhuang Gong, and said.
"It's a courtesy."
"It's more like you."
"Are you literate and literate?" After Zhuang Gong and Xiao Ye finished speaking, they leaned over and asked Yan Li.
"Back to Zhuang Gong, I can read a lot of words, all of which were taught by my father." Yanli said without stage fright.
"Do you want to study with me? I have a boy your age, too. ”
Yanli wanted to go, but he was afraid that his father would not agree, so he blinked his eyes and looked at the master. The master understood Yan Li's thoughts, and nodded slightly.
Yan Lihui understood the agreement, and then knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, Zhuang Gong." Words are willing. ”
"Polite and sensible, more sensible than my eldest grandson. After you go back, you can live in the palace and study alone with you. Zhuang Gong was overjoyed, he loved the confidence and generosity of his words and manners, and more importantly, he loved the house and Wu.
Hearing this, Hongyu bowed and thanked Zhuang Gong. But the master said: "Xie Zhuanggong, don't bother the palace if you live, anyway, it's close, let's pick up and drop off every day." ”
"Okay, then pick up and drop off every day, lonely and courteous, and leave the love of father and son behind, which is inappropriate. Lone has worshiped the spirit stone, and it is time to go back, Yunzhu has been favored by me since she was a child, but you can't get used to her. ”
The master seems to understand whether he understands or not, so he has to be.
Zhuang Gong left and returned to Jiangyang City. In front of the main hall, only the four of them and a small official guarding the Lingshi Palace remained.
"This Heavenly Book Spirit Stone Palace hall is dedicated to that god?" The young master asked Yunzhu softly. Although the voice was small, it was still heard by the little official, and he glanced at the master, as if he was laughing at the ignorance of the master.
Yun Zhu understood, and the little master's dementia whispered back: "A spirit stone." ”
The master was even more puzzled, and was about to ask, but he had already come to the front of the main hall, and really saw a huge stone in the center of the main hall, and the stone was just a piece of limestone.
The young master was still looking at the stone from a distance, guessing the origin of it, but he was pulled by the corner of his sleeve by Yunzhu, who had already knelt down, and signaled him to kneel.
The young master was reluctant in his heart, but the others had already bowed down to the ground religiously, so they knelt down from Yunzhu.
When Yunzhu saw the young master kneeling on the ground, he let go of his hand and began to kowtow like Zhuang Gong.
After bowing to Shao Tilt, the little official led the four to the temple.
I saw that the smooth place on the limestone was extremely difficult to carve a series of familiar and unfamiliar symbols, each symbol was carved thousands of times before barely carved out of the form, presumably there was no tool to take advantage of when carving, just with a stone harder than limestone.
The reason why Xiao Ye is familiar with this symbol is that it is like some mathematical symbols he has learned, but he is not familiar with it is that he can't remember the meaning of these mathematical symbols.
However, there is a lying Arabic numeral "8" in the symbol group, which means infinity, and the master regrets that he failed to learn mathematics well. Fortunately, if it is indeed a mathematical formula, it shows that there are not only me and Cuckoo in this time and space, but also other modern people. If you find them, you will have the possibility of going back, and your heart will start to mess up again.
A few people bypassed the spirit stone from the left side, went out of the main hall, and then went around the two stacks of halls to get out of the central axis, and returned to the front door of the Tianshu Spirit Stone Palace from the side corridor.
After leaving the palace, the master dared to ask Yunzhu: "Who carved the string of symbols on the spirit stone?" ”
"The Divine Clan, the Divine Clan of 10,000 years ago."
10,000 years ago? The master's heart is half cold, most of this person has returned to heaven, but since he is called a god, he may still be alive.
"Is the Divine Clan still alive? Or are there any descendants? ”
"I have already returned to the Heavenly Palace, as for the descendants, legend has it that gods cannot have communion with people. There should be no offspring. Yunzhu replied.
Hearing this, the young master was completely cool, but curiosity drove him to ask again. Only then did it become clear that the magical origin of the Heavenly Book Spirit Stone.
