When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 5 Xin Qu’s country is safe?

The carving knife carves divination questions on it.

Xinqu looked over and saw what was written on it:
On July [-] of the first year of Qu's reign, he asked Zheng Xiaoye: How big is the millet harvest?Is it a disaster?

Xinqu was stunned: "Why do you use my calendar to ask questions?"

After traveling through time, Xin Qu was favored by the old witch and wanted to be his disciple. He was bombarded with messages every day, intentionally or unintentionally. A bunch of terms about the heavenly stems and earthly branches, as well as the crushing of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, gave Xinqu a headache.

So after asking clearly about the boundaries of each era, he reorganized the date calendar.

Because merchants use the twelfth month of the lunar calendar as the beginning of the year, the Xin family is deeply influenced by the Xia people and use the first month of each year as the beginning of the year, which is the month of Jianyin.

Therefore, the calendar conversion within the Xin family is quite confusing.

So Xin Qu asked an old witch to draw grids and make a date calendar.

The old wizard saw that the calendar was quite good, but the error was quite large. He took it away and had it changed. Xinqu didn't know the effect. However, when he saw the simplified Chinese characters representing the date on the oracle bone inscriptions, Xinqu felt incredible.

"You wrote this calendar. The teacher said it's called Qu Li. This year is called the first year of Qu." Wu Xiaoye continued to carve, but kept looking at Xin Qu from the corner of his eye.

If this man hadn't refused to become the tribe's shaman, she would never have had a chance to survive in this life.

After all, she was considered a disaster.

When she was born, there was a fire in her home, but she was lucky enough to be rescued, and the rest all died.

Later, she was raised. When she was three years old, her adoptive parents went fishing in the water. The canoe capsized and the whole family was buried in the belly of the fish. She was the only one who managed to survive on the shore because of her young age.

After that, she was raised by others, but both families who raised her died within three years.

She was the only one who was lucky enough to survive every time, causing panic among her tribe.

Just when she was about to be burned to death as a sacrifice to heaven, the witch came forward to save her, saying that she had the potential to become a diviner. Because without some mysterious power in her body, how could she still be called a witch?
So, she became an honorable apprentice, but the clan was still worried. In the end, the witch made an agreement with them that if Wu Xiaoye could not become a witch in the end, then she would be sacrificed to the emperor, which resulted in silence from the crowd.

It can be said that if Xin Qu had not traveled through time and refused the old witch's invitation to become a disciple, she would have met the emperor in the fire by now.

"..."

However, Xinqu didn't see the look in her eyes, but he was numb.

Will the introduction of simplified Chinese characters used by the system at this time affect the entire Chinese character evolution process?What if... if someone messes around, wouldn't he become a sinner?

Soon, Wu Xiaoye took an awl and poked some small holes on the back of the carved oracle bone, and began to do it while mumbling something.

The crow feathers flew up in her movements, imitating the fluttering of birds' wings, causing the wind to blow on the bonfire. Then Wu Xiaoye took out a bunch of cattails, dragged the oracle bones, and placed them in the fire.

When you're done, come back and continue recording the next question.

On July [-] of the first year of Qu, I asked Zheng Xiaoye: Zu, is it Xin or Qu, An?
Xinqu saw this text and said strangely: "Or? Or?"

"No, it should be called a country." Wu Xiaoye explained, "Since you want to transform the Xin family, you are imitating the Queen of Xia in establishing a country, so I asked my ancestors if there are any benefits to establishing a country."

Xin Qu nodded confusedly. He didn't understand divination either, but he knew the purpose of this thing, which was to test whether the wizard power represented by Wu Xiaoye could be obedient.

If Wu Xiaoye had objected to asking the emperor instead of asking the ancestors from the beginning, there is no doubt that the Xin family's wizarding power has already become a businessman.

Then this group of people are potential enemies, and they need to be pruned accordingly.

Only by uniting the majority and striking a small blow can the opposition within the tribe be quelled as quickly as possible.

But the problem is, you have to first figure out the composition of each class.

As the saying goes, whether they are close or not depends on class.

Although somewhat dogmatic, it is the fastest way to clarify your opponent.

At present, the burdens of the clan are constantly coming, and there is not much time to hesitate. As for the consequences of all actions, we will wait until things happen.

Only when you hit the road first will you know what the bumps and pitfalls are!

Therefore, Xin Qu showed his nervousness just now because he was worried that Wu Xiaoye had too much faith in the emperor. At least, that was the feeling the old witch gave him.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaoye is not very old and has not been influenced by the emperor too much. The ancestral beliefs still exist in the Xin clan.

That's enough.

As Wu Xiaoye finished the ritual religiously, all that was left was to wait for the oracle bones to burn and crack.

After about half an hour, the two of them just sat there.

Xin Qu originally wanted to chat, but Wu Xiaoye said that divination requires silence and piety, so he killed the chat. Finally, when Xin Qu's skeleton was about to break, Wu Xiaoye fished out two oracle bones with his scepter and put them away. Let cool on the ground.

After about 10 minutes, she said to Xinqu: "Bring the water, this is your problem." Fill the tripod with water until it is halfway filled.

Finally, he picked up this small bronze tripod, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms.

This is a reward from Am Shang, an heirloom of the old witch, and one of the "artifacts" in the tribe.

It’s so heavy!

After carrying the utensils and coming to the bonfire, Wu Xiaoye devoutly lifted the first oracle bone and placed it in the water to wash away the ashes and scorch.

Then he rubbed the lines by the fire.

Xinqu just looked around and saw that the words Su and Fu were cracked on the row of oracle bones.

Wu Xiaoye frowned and said to Xin Qu: "The divination elephant said: There is danger within the month."

Xinqu thought, is there danger within the month?
"I didn't use wet oracle bones, they were all dry oracle bones, but there were so many cracks, but it was very strange that only two important characters were cracked. Only the "month" side had no effect, so there must be something in the month. risk."

"Really?" Xin Qu didn't really believe in divination, but divination was not necessarily useless.

After all, oracle bones will be affected by the environment during the burning process. If there is too much moisture, it will be easy...

Xinqu was stunned.

In July, Changping has a subtropical monsoon climate...

rain?Or a typhoon?

Not so much!

Xinqu turned his head and felt the direction from which the wind was coming.

The bonfire with the Xin clan shamans was not by the river, but on a hillside, which was the highest point of the entire tribe.

In this direction, as a college student who likes to go shopping and is interested in Qi, I still remember that the rain clouds in Central Asia are almost flat on the prairie, so Changping may be affected.

What's more, the weather is still in the warm period at this time!

The average temperature in Changping is two degrees higher than that of later generations. Winters are not frosty or snowy, and heavy rainfall is normal...

"Forget it, it's better not to scare yourself. Pay more attention to the weather when you go out." Xin Qu made up his mind and asked Wu Xiaoye to prepare for the next oracle bone survey.

However, after Wu Xiaoye washed it, he saw that the word "ancestor" was burned directly and could not be seen at all.

And the word "Zhi" was completely split.

Instead, the four words "Xinqu or An" were forced to appear completely between the horizontal stripes.

"The ancestor said: The country is safe."

Wu Xiaoye covered the burned "ancestor" with his middle finger, and then said to Xin Qu seriously: "But it's difficult."

When Xin Qu heard this, he curled his lips as if he expected it: "Isn't this nonsense? If you start a gang and establish a stick, you must not step on the former boss to get to the top? He can let you get to the top safely? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Do you have any confidence?"

"No, but as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. I firmly believe that man can conquer nature."

Xin Qu shrugged: "The divination is just to reassure people and stop people from thinking wildly. Since you have said that ancestors support me in transforming the Xin family, I hope you will help me transform the Xin family in the future. As a gift... hmm , I will find a way to meet your needs."

There is a dual system of the Xin family being the leader and the shaman.

As long as the top two leaders reach an agreement, Xin Qu can do more.

Every era is an era of human beings.

God, among the merchants in Dayi, the highest witch is the King of Shang himself.

To put it bluntly, this is also a human game.

Wu Xiaoye blinked and nodded: "Then go back, you have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"Ah! Why am I the only one to be the clan leader!" Xinqu Leopard Head wailed, picked up his spear and walked out of the fence, "You should also go to bed early, for a girl, sleeping late will hurt your skin."

Wu Xiaoye looked at Xin Qu's back and silently let go of the burned-through word "ancestor" and murmured: "It seems that I am not very skilled at my business. I will burn another piece and this one will be burned directly to avoid being discovered.

But... Zu didn't say anything, whether it's hard or safe.

Who said that?Emperor? "
