Ji Tang

Chapter 381
Before they could enter, the door of the ancestral hall was opened, and an old man with gray hair and all his teeth came out.

"You are here!"

He spoke very slowly, maybe because he had no teeth, so Ji Song couldn't hear clearly!

He ignored the two of them and went to sweep the floor with a bamboo broom.

Ji Song and his second uncle were not surprised either!
Everyone no longer knows the name of this old man. He fled here when the world was in chaos.

Maybe he had a mental problem after the death of his family. Anyway, he kept talking all day long and didn't communicate with others.

In the end, the second uncle saw how pitiful he was and asked him to guard the ancestral hall, so he had a place to live.

Entering the ancestral hall, the second uncle looked at the densely packed tablets above and showed a hint of sadness.

Ji Song's feeling was not too strong. He had never seen most of the people here, so he couldn't talk about feeling sad.

"Brother Song!" the second uncle suddenly said.

Ji Song responded quickly: "I'm here!"

The second uncle pointed to the third tablet in the second row and said, "There is something down there. Go and take it out!"

Ji Song was stunned, but there was no hesitation in his actions.

When he came to the third seat in the second row, he looked carefully and saw that the names on it were unfamiliar.

After checking it for a while, I discovered the mystery.

He twisted the tablet slightly, and a small hole appeared under the tablet.

I looked over quickly and saw a thick book inside.

When he got it in his hands, he discovered that this thick book was actually made of unknown animal skin.

But it feels soft to the touch and has not been broken even though it has been aged for a long time.

Without having time to take a closer look, he restored the tablet and jumped down quickly.

I patted the dust on it and saw the writing on it.

"Ji family genealogy!"

Four Chinese characters written in small seal script, a simple atmosphere comes to the face.

Ji Song was surprised. Although he had known about this thing for a long time and had a copy at home, it was copied later.

"Uncle, what is this?"

The second uncle looked at the genealogy in Ji Song's hand with even more complicated eyes.

"This is the original genealogy passed down from ancient times. This animal skin is made of dragon skin, which will last for thousands of years."

"As for the external copy, it is only recorded from the Han Dynasty, not the complete version."

Dragon skin should be crocodile skin.

With the genealogy, Ji Song seemed to be holding a stone weighing a thousand kilograms. Is this something that the clan members never gave up even if they were almost exterminated?

Maybe he was tired from standing, so he motioned to Ji Song to help him sit down.

Next, Ji Song learned some of Ji's past events from his second uncle.

Back then, everyone lived in seclusion in the Qinling Mountains. Although life was difficult, at least they didn't have to worry about military disasters.

Coupled with some knowledge passed down from ancestors, whether it is weaving or farming, I can do it with ease and rarely worry about hunger.

But God did not follow people's wishes. Some young tribesmen did not want to die of old age in the mountains and wanted to go out and make a living.

But the patriarch did not agree at that time, but suppressed it forcefully.

This makes many young people very angry!
So, one day, they gathered some people and went out alone.

But what surprised the clan members was that the clan leader was not as angry as everyone imagined, nor did he send anyone to chase him.

Just when everyone thought that this matter would be settled, the clan leader did something that surprised the clan members.

Removed!

Yes, he removed all the clan members who ran away and crossed out their names in the genealogy.

This was considered a heavy penalty at the time.The patriarch ignored the pleadings of the young people's families and just erased their names.

This is nothing, but things are often so wonderful.

Those tribesmen who went out came back and were pursued by the enemy.

Some things that Ji inherited from the pre-Qin period aroused the greed of others.

Especially when those tribesmen went out, they brought Qin Nu, a great weapon on the battlefield.It is because of these that they are hunted down.

With no choice but to flee where they thought they were the safest place.

As a result, the Ji family suffered a catastrophe of annihilation.

At the most critical moment, the clan leader handed the brocade silk and the genealogy to his youngest son, and asked the remaining ten clan members to escort him out of the tunnel.

After moving around for a long time, they finally settled down in Haowei County, the source of family inheritance.

Ji Song is silent!

He looked at his second uncle, whose eyes were red with excitement, and could only accompany him silently.

That Zhang Jinbo Ji Song has already figured out what it is.

The characters above are Chu characters from the pre-Qin period.

But now, after Qin Shihuang abolished the scripts of the Six Kingdoms, no one knows these scripts anymore.

Ji Song also translated a little bit after consulting the vast royal collection.

He did not lie to Li Shimin. The columbine was indeed restored from the brocade and silk, but some changes were made based on the knowledge of later generations!

If they could all be translated, he believed that many things that had been lost for a long time would surely reappear in the world.

But he was disappointed. Over the years, he had approached many great Confucians or scholars who liked to study ancient books, but no one could systematically use the Chu characters of the Pre-Qin period.

"who are they?"

Ji Song gritted his teeth and said.

There is indignation at what happened to the tribe, but even more so at the inability to restore the things on the brocade!
"do not know!"

The second uncle sighed, he really didn't know who it was.

After all, he had heard what happened back then from his elders. If he had known about it, with Ji Song's current power, he would have told him to take revenge long ago and would not have waited until now.

"What happened back then has been a long time ago, but it was the Diqiang people who ruled Guanzhong at that time, and only they could organize such a large-scale pursuit."

"Di Qiang people?"

Ji Song was stunned for a moment, and then took it for granted!

Fu Jian was a Di people, and the Di and Qiang people had long merged, but what puzzled him was that until the fall of the former Qin Dynasty, he had never heard of them using any powerful crossbows!
"Di Qiang people? Strong crossbow? Divine arm bow?"

Ji Song seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't seem to grasp it.

The second uncle watched Ji Song muttering to himself without interrupting, thinking he was wondering who the murderer was!

"You don't have to think about it. I haven't found it all these years. After they left Guanzhong, I didn't hear that anyone had any strong crossbows. Maybe the leader of the team at that time hid it!"

The second uncle said it unintentionally, but it made him find that spiritual light in Ji Song's ears.

He suddenly realized that, yes, everything was correct.

Hidden, yes, the person who discovered this powerful crossbow definitely hid the making method of Qin Nu.

As a nation, the Diqiang were generally integrated even after Fu Jian established the Pre-Qin Dynasty. The people who commanded heavy troops were still the original tribal leaders.

Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you can imagine how these tribal leaders felt after getting this sharp weapon!

As long as there is still a trace of ambition, such a killing weapon will not be handed over. It must be hidden. This can explain why the Di Qiang people did not make large-scale production after they obtained the Qin Nu.

The only possibility is that someone hid it.

Ji Song suddenly realized something in his heart, and he thought of another dynasty established by the Diqiang people in later generations.
