Chapter 434: Weighing Words and Micro-Meanings (2)
It is also mentioned here that the Infinite Desert was not originally barren, it was not originally called the Infinite Desert, but was called the Red Fan Country, which was rich in silver beads. The silver beads are the sacred relics of the silver-haired people, such as the size of a pigeon's egg, and the crystal silver is translucent. Silver-haired people often wear and eat, which can build youth and immortality. ”
"I've read it before, I thought this was a strange story, it is estimated that it is half-true and half-false, and immortality is only a legend." When Jing Ping said this, she immediately thought of the red-clothed saintess, she should be about the same age as her father and queen mother, but she didn't look old at all, could it be because of Yinzhu?
It is also said here that the silver-haired people have lived in the country of Hongfan for hundreds of years without a quarrel with the world. Later, the northern realm rose up, and all the way north to kill the silver-haired people and plunder the silver beads. The Lady of the Red Lady, the daughter of the gods, asked the heavens for advice and rolled up a raging sand, drowning all the people of the North with the robbed silver orbs under the raging sands. ”
"I watched it here too, and it felt like watching a mythical story." Ning Zhi said.
"There is also a small note here, which says that Xu Mingyi once searched the infinite desert, looking for the ruins of the red-clothed saintess who flooded the northern people with wild sand a hundred years ago, and he also wrote that he was lucky not to die and fell into Hongfan City. It took him a month to map out the places he visited. Ning Lan flipped through the pages and saw no map.
"This book is a manuscript, and my mother liked to make friends with famous people when she was not out of the court. When Xu Mingyi was exiled to Tingzhou, he was taken in by my mother, who gave him two silver taels, and he gave my mother the manuscript of "Heng Yan Weiyi". When I got married, my mother put this manuscript in my dowry. ”
"If it's a transcript, if there's a map, it should be in a book." Ning Lan looked through it again, but still didn't find the map.
"Isn't this a book of anecdotes? Maybe there is no map. Ning Zhi said.
"I see that Mr. Xu's book is strict in Chinese, and it doesn't look like it's made up, but it mostly seems to be true." Ning Lan said.
Jingping used to think that this book was just Xu Mingyi's borrowing of things to clarify the righteousness, such as the nine-tailed phoenix bird he wrote, which was unheard of for Dong'an people, and most of them would not believe it.
But now, she has raised one herself, but I'm afraid that like Lan'er said, I'm afraid it's true.
"I'll see." Jingping brought the book over.
She had read this book at least twice, and if it was a map, she must have an impression. She flipped through the pages, but still didn't find it. When she closed the book, she touched the cover.
Ning Lan also leaned over and touched it, "This book cover is extremely thick, I have needles and threads, pick it open and take a look." ”
"Okay."
Ning Lan gently opened the book cover, and sure enough, there was a mezzanine inside, and a piece of paper only the size of a palm fell out of the mezzanine.
Jingping opened it and saw that it was indeed a map, the map was very small, the words were very small, and the painting was a map of Xu Mingyi's search for the people who had flooded the north with wild sand.
She smiled slowly: "I know Xiangniang, what did she go to Sister Zhi'er's room to find twice?" ”
"Xiang Niang ran to my room? Yes, when we came back, we didn't see Xiang Niang. Ning Zhi said.
"If it's true that the sand flooded the people of the North, then the silver beads are also real, and the silver-haired people must be very eager to find that ruin, and find those silver beads that were drowned together." Ning Lan said, "On the day of the Queen Mother's palace banquet, Zhi'er was loved by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother with the story in the book "Heng Yan Weiyi". Therefore, the silver-haired people think that "Heng Yan Weiyi" is in the hands of Zhi'er, and Xiang Niang went to Zhi'er's room to find this book. Ning Lan said.
