Chapter 120 The Origin of the Cornucopia

Chapter 120 Cornucopia Origin
"Then who is the person who revealed the mystery ten years ago?"

Jin An asked the question in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Yiyun shook his head.

"Some people speculate that that person should be the first group of people who discovered clues to the cornucopia in Chang County."

Jin An lowered his head and pondered.

Unexpectedly, the identity of this person is quite mysterious.

But it is.

After all, it's been ten years since this happened.

Ten years is not long.

To be short is not to be short.

Many historical truths have long been buried in the rolling river of time.

Jin An thought carefully about Mr. Yiyun's words, and he quite supported the speculation about the identity of the mysterious person. He should be the first person to find clues to the cornucopia in Chang County.

Because the matter of Qingqianliu involves a thousand-year-old secret, if a lot of manpower, material and financial resources were not spent on deliberate investigation, ordinary people would not know this thousand-year-old secret that had long been buried under the long yellow sands of history.

This time, before Jin An took the initiative to open his mouth, Mr. Yiyun has already continued: "After talking about the reason why Qingqianliu was miraculous ten years ago, let's talk about the relationship between the cornucopia and Qingqianliu..."

"What does Mr. Jin'an think the cornucopia should look like?"

Facing Mr. Yiyun's questioning, Jin An looked thoughtfully.

"Bowl?"

"Tree?"

Listening to Jin An's random conjectures, Mr. Yiyun and Qibo, the master and servant, showed the expression that everything was exactly as I had guessed.

Jin An naturally saw the change of expression on the face of the master and servant in front of him, so he tilted his head and thought for a while, and added: "Or is it a potted plant?"

Uh?
Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo, who had such genuine faces, almost didn't choke on Jin An's words.

Mr. Yiyun's bright eyes were full of surprise and consternation: "Mr. Jin'an, why do you think...the cornucopia is, uh, a potted plant?"

Jin An's reason is simple: "Colocarina pacaralis thrives in a pot, isn't it a potted plant?"

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Mr. Yiyun uh again.

"Of course, according to what Mr. Yiyun said just now, the group of Yin assassins, paper piercers, and monk Pu Zhi wanted to blow up trees and dig a cornucopia, but in fact there is no cornucopia under the soil where the willows are planted, so I don’t think it’s possible for a cornucopia to be a potted plant.”

After sitting for a long time, my back hurts easily, my neck becomes stiff, and my butt also hurts. Jin An stretched his waist and said lazily.

"Young Master Jin'an, be more confident and remove the word 'should'."

Mr. Yiyun squinted at Jin An who was stretching regardless of his image, then changed his solemn expression, and said, "Speaking of cornucopia, it has another very inauspicious name, Juyin basin."

"Whether it's called a cornucopia or a polyyin basin, it's actually a coffin."

coffin?

Jin An was taken aback.

This is indeed a bit unexpected.

"It is said that in ancient times when the world was not yet unified, there was a small country called Shanzhou. One day, there was a loud noise like fire and thunder, and a star fell in the west. Three days later, the fire was extinguished, and a meteorite was found in the Shanzhou Kingdom, which was sealed as a sacred stone. This is a record from unofficial history."

Mr. Yiyun went on to say: "Since then, Shanzhou's national power has been booming, and it has vigorously expanded its territory. The soldiers are able to recruit and fight well, and their military strength is endless. They annexed the territory of neighboring countries everywhere, and soon annexed most of the small countries. Later, there were rumors among the folks that Shanzhou State had yin soldiers to help them, and they marched and fought only at night, and the places where the troops passed were bleak and windy, and they were invincible and invincible.”

"However, when the Shanzhou Kingdom was fighting everywhere, encroaching on neighboring countries everywhere, and was about to unify the world, the Shanzhou King fell ill, and the Shanzhou King knew that time was short, so he called all craftsmen from all over the country overnight to polish the sacred stone and create A coffin, but because it is unlucky to call a coffin directly, so it was named cornucopia, which means "the luck of the world, all gather in Shanzhou". Before his death, the king of Shanzhou recruited all his children and concubines to his sick bed An oracle was issued, and after his death his body was buried in a cornucopia."

"However, the King of Shanzhou has just passed away, and the dozen or so sons under his knees are eager to seize the heir. The factions are fighting among themselves, and blood is flowing like rivers. Everyone is peeping at the huge territory of the Shanzhou Kingdom. No one cares about the King of Shanzhou. Corpse."

"It wasn't until the Shanzhou Kingdom was destroyed by internal strife, and the allied forces of the neighboring countries who shared the same hatred took the opportunity to break through the king's city and entered the palace, only to find that the body of the Shanzhou King was rotten and smelly, and his legs and hands were almost eaten by rats. It's all gone, only the bones are left, but no one cares about it."

"That night, all the countries formed an alliance to break through Shanzhou Kingdom. In the chaos of burning, killing and looting in Shanzhou, many royal family members of Shanzhou fled, and the whereabouts of the cornucopia were lost."

"Until the Shanzhou Kingdom was destroyed, some rumors suddenly spread among the people for some reason, saying that the flying stone from the sky can be resurrected from the dead, and people can be resurrected from the dead as long as they touch the sacred stone after death. So this is why the Shanzhou Kingdom Conquests, but there is an endless supply of troops, the more the conquests, the greater the number of soldiers, and they will annex the neighboring countries."

"This can also explain why the Shanzhou Kingdom only marches and fights at night, and the wind blows wherever it goes. It is rumored by the people that it is an excuse for Yin soldiers."

"At that time, the king of Shanzhou knew that his time was not long, so he wanted to use the cornucopia to resurrect him from the dead, but it was a pity that he married so many concubines and had more than a dozen sons, but none of them was buried for him. The mountain states are all lost."

Jin An did not interrupt Mr. Yiyun's narration, and listened intently with his breath held.

Can the dead be resurrected by approaching a meteorite?
Could it be that this meteorite carries strong radiation and radioactive substances?
It's like it was difficult for the ancients to understand the various radiations and rays carried by meteorites outside the sky, and they were often deified. Regarding the radiation of meteorites, Jin'an had seen many related reports in the news before.Of course, this is just Jin An's subconscious guess from modern times, or there are other reasons, such as the innate treasure that can bring the dead back to life in the myth?

Mr. Yiyun continued to tell the story of the cornucopia.

"Originally, with the demise of the Shanzhou Kingdom, the Shanzhou Kingdom has faded out of everyone's sight, but faced with the temptation of returning from the dead, resurrecting the dead, and even being able to live forever, all countries began to arrest the royal family who escaped from the Shanzhou Kingdom. Dear, the maid craftsman..."

"At that time, the kings of all the countries were crazy. In less than a year, countless people died of direct or indirect involvement. The world was full of smog, and people's heads rolled to the ground every day. Naturally, all the royal blood of the Shanzhou Kingdom was also exhausted. One escaped."

"This bloody turmoil lasted for seven or eight years. The countries have been unable to find the lost cornucopia, so they slowly gave up on continuing to search for the whereabouts of the cornucopia."

"In these thousands of years, the cornucopia has been going around and around. After a period of depression, it will appear again. When countless people die because of fighting for it, it will disappear again. No one can keep the cornucopia around all the year round. .”

"Because anyone who gets the cornucopia will end up with an unhappy ending. Either the country will be destroyed or the family will be destroyed. Then the cornucopia will be lost again, disappearing, and abandoning the previous owner."

"This cornucopia seems to be born with bad luck and ominousness. Everyone who has got him will die in the end, and his energy will be exhausted. It seems that this cornucopia can absorb luck, and when it is exhausted, it will leave the owner. After being depressed for a period of time, it will be acquired by the next owner. Because it is too evil, people in later generations also call it a 'polyyin basin', which means an ominous thing."

"But even so, whenever the cornucopia is born, there will always be bloody battles, because immortality is too tempting for mortals with a limited lifespan. Everyone is afraid of death. As long as they are afraid of death, they will try hard to find it. The ethereal and boundless immortality. The cornucopia has such a magical power that it always makes many people bleed in rivers because of fighting for it, but whether it can really come back to life and live forever, no one has ever witnessed it in history, the only record It also only exists in the unknown unofficial history of the Shanzhou Kingdom that has long since disappeared.”

Regarding the origin of the cornucopia, Mr. Yiyun did not hide anything, he had already confessed to Jin An.

She finally said: "I don't know when, the news that the cornucopia will be born has reappeared, and this time, the clues point to Chang County, saying that the great Confucian who is enshrined in the Wenwu Temple got the cornucopia before his death. "

"The yin masters wanted to blow up the tree, probably because they couldn't find the cornucopia elsewhere, so they thought the cornucopia was in the Man Mo Temple, or it was under the green papaya willow."

After listening to Mr. Yiyun's words, Jin An fell into deep thought.

"Then how does Mr. Yiyun plan to deal with Qingqianliu's rebellion?"

"Since this is a man-eating Yin tree, simply letting the Yin Assassins and the others blow up the evil tree can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."

Jin'an Road.

Mr. Yiyun shook his head: "The matter of Qingqianliu has been smoldering in Chang County for a long time, and it has become a major disaster. It is not that simple to get rid of the evil spirit. The evil spirit of Qingqianliu slowly invaded most of the county The common people cannot be exorcised by one person alone.”

"Currently, the Qingqianliu is still relatively calm. If the tree is destroyed, the Qingqianliu may be angered, and the people of the whole city may suffer in one night."

"I have reported the news of this place to Fucheng, and I hope that Fucheng will know about it as soon as possible. Fucheng will report the news of this place to Zhenguo Temple or Yujing Jinque in the capital as soon as possible, and send a large number of eminent monks or Taoist disciples to come to Chang County to eliminate evil. magic."

After hearing this, Jin An always felt that this set of words was very familiar.

Taoist Wu Zang told him the same thing in the horn urn and coffin temple back then. Keeping the coffin in the temple will kill people, but it won't cause a big disaster.

But if the temple is really forcibly demolished, it is tantamount to letting a hungry tiger out of its cage, and more people will only die.

Just at this moment, several yamen servants walked into the courtyard outside the study.

"Master County Magistrate, the bodies of Jin Kuan and Lin Mingcheng that you ordered us to find have already been brought here."

At this time, the majestic voice of the county magistrate Zhang came from the study: "Well, it's hard work, you should step back and rest first."

When the yamen servants turned and left, Jin An looked at the two black lacquered coffins in the courtyard outside the study with astonishment.

He was naturally familiar with one of the coffins.

When Yuanshen came out of his body last night, he had just seen Jin Kuan's coffin in Yizhuang.

Jin An looked at Young Master Yiyun with puzzled eyes.

"Master Jin'an is not very puzzled, why do I keep stopping the tree explosion, why do I keep worrying about angering Qingqianliu? These two corpses are the answer."

"I know that Mr. Jin'an will definitely ask about Qingqianliu tonight, so I have ordered people to bring two corpses to Yizhuang just now."

Mr. Yiyun led Jin An out of the study.

In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, surrounded by darkness, it was very quiet, but there were two black lacquered coffins in the courtyard. Although the yamen was a place where the fate of thousands of people in the imperial court was inherited, the righteousness was the most serious, and usually the yamen would not be troubled by evil spirits.But this still can't suppress the scary atmosphere when facing two coffins and two dead people lying in the coffins at night.

Jin Kuan in one of the coffins had been dead for more than a day, and his rigors had disappeared. His face was gray and blue, his lips were iron blue, and his eyes were closed. The corpse was lying flat in the coffin. It started to rot, and when people got close to the coffin, the smell was not pleasant.

"Master Jin An, do you know how Jin Kuan died?"

Although he didn't understand the purpose of Mr. Yiyun's question, Jin An still replied: "Death was caused by Qingqianliu absorbing all three souls and seven souls, and died violently in a gambling stall."

Mr. Yiyun first glanced at Jin An in surprise, but she did not devote too much energy to such trivial matters, but nodded and continued: "Since Mr. Jin An already knows the real cause of Jin Kuan's death, then Jin An Young master, can you see that Jin Kuan's corpse is different from ordinary people?"

Jin An's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

He held his breath and endured the smell in the coffin, and began to bend down to observe the dead body in the coffin carefully.

But after a stick of incense passed, Jin An found nothing, just like an ordinary dead body.

At this time, Qi Bo went to the coffin.

Qi Bo smiled at Jin An and said, "Young Master Jin An, let me do this kind of dirty work."

"Actually, the people in these two coffins all died of the green willow, and died violently after being sucked up by the evil energy on the yin money."

"Usually these corpses are not abnormal, and they are still safe and sound, just like the corpses of normal people after death. But when they are put together, then the problem arises..."

Qibo moved out the two corpses in the coffin and spread them on the ground of the courtyard. As a result, a horrifying scene happened.

The two corpses on the ground actually moved by themselves, their bodies were twisted and entangled, the two corpses were tightly pressed together, the hands, feet and spine stretched out to the back and entangled with completely twisted bones!

Click!

Click!

Click!

The bones of the whole body were overwhelmed and twisted, broken, and burst.

A large amount of foul-smelling black liquid was secreted from the inside of the corpse, but it wasn't corpse night, nor the blood of the dead, but the stench was incomparable.

Finally, after the two corpses twisted and entwined like old tree root statues, they stopped changing and returned to a static state again.

At this time, the surface of the corpses was already filled with the foul-smelling black liquid secreted from the body, like tree sap, sticking and adsorbing the two corpses together.

There is a night wind blowing into the courtyard at night.

Cloudy wind blows.

Goosebumps popped up on my arms.

"Mr. Jin'an should know that, once it is a flower or a tree, once it takes root in the ground, it will keep growing more grass roots and tree roots every year... Then, Mr. Jin'an can know that during the ten years that the green willow has become a shady tree , How far have its roots spread underground?"

Mr. Yiyun finally expressed her worries.

root?

spread?

Jin An reacted and was stunned, a chill ran up his back from the tailbone.

In this way, all the people who died from the willow will eventually become the root system of the willow, so how many twisted roots of dead people are buried under the willow in Wenwu Temple?
