Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 58 Miko, Xiaozhuan

There was a smile on the corner of Lao Jiu's mouth, but I didn't reveal anything about Suiyu and Xiang Yu's treasure. Everything was caused by the dead bodies in the ghost forest and the radio station. Lao Jiu kicked me under the table to show his appreciation, so I accepted it tentatively Bar.

Tao Ran looked into my eyes for a long time, and finally said: "Most of the women in our Miao Village are Gu girls. They have been studying Gu skills since they were young. When I was seven years old, I was taken to the hanging coffin by my mother-in-law, and I knelt in the coffin. In front of the green coffin, tell me that the ancestors of our family are placed inside. This place protects our village, and the power of the ancestors is still continuing. This place cannot be touched by the anger of outsiders, otherwise, the power will disappear. Protect the Miao Village power will be lost."

Lao Jiu and I looked at each other, and Lao Jiu said, "Have you seen the ancestor in the green coffin?"

"I've seen it once. When I was 16 years old, because my Gu technique was already the most outstanding in this generation, my mother-in-law said that I could see my ancestors with my own eyes." Tao Ran's eyes widened suddenly: "Youth The woman in the coffin was only about 30 years old, and she was completely... completely alive. She was wearing a white dress, her hair was loose, and there was no hair ornament on her head, and there was nothing superfluous on her body. Upturned, as if smiling, with long eyelashes that almost cover the entire eyelid, she is really beautiful."

"Passed away at 30, are there any scars on your body?" I asked.

"No, there is no scar, very calm." Tao Ran said: "It is said that she died naturally. Before she died, a hanging coffin was arranged. The seven attendants decided to die without a grain in order to follow after death. After death, she turned into a zombie. The hanging coffin and her body have been protected for generations, you have seen the seven zombies, the bell is also passed down, and in my generation, I will take over."

It doesn't make sense, if it's just so pure, those people won't come to the door. Lao Jiu put down his chopsticks and put his hands on his chest: "This old ancestor is from the end of Qin, right? What did he do when he was alive?"

"That's right, you should have seen that there is a small seal on the wall, it is true that it died at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty." Tao Ran said: "I used to be a witch next to Xiang Yu when I was alive, and returned to Xiangxi after Xiang Yu died. Death is the reason for the existence of the hanging coffin. It is said that she missed her family members very much before she died, so she decided to use Gu to preserve her body and stay on the hanging coffin forever, looking at the Miao Village and protecting future generations. This Gu technique has long been lost and has not been handed down."

Meng Luo just stood there in a daze, with a piece of meat still caught between the chopsticks in his hand, as if someone had pressed the still button for him. This woman used to be the witch next to Jing Xiang Yu. The news was too amazing. I kicked Meng Luo for a while. Feet, he finally stuffed the meat into his mouth, and then ate in silence without saying a word.

Tao Ran glanced at Mengluo: "Why, don't you believe me?"

Meng Luo chewed the meat in his mouth, and said vaguely: "There are many ways to preserve the corpse, and this is the first time I have heard of the Gu method."

Lao Jiu fell into deep thought and didn't speak. The Gu girl in Tao Ran's story was almost the same as a living person, and possessed some kind of mysterious power. To counterattack and let the two of them die under the Gu poison, the well-informed Lao Jiu was a little suspicious of this situation.

Tao Ran said: "Gu has many uses, it can save people, it can harm people, and it can also prevent people. There is another kind, it is said that it can channel spirits, and the bell can control zombies is also related to Gu. I still don't understand it. Therefore, why do you think these people are staring at the hanging coffin?"

I was a little hesitant. If I told her to agree, I would definitely let her know about Xiang Yu's treasure. Lao Jiu coughed lightly and interrupted my thoughts: "Ghost knows, there is no treasure in the hanging coffin, do you just want to take it away?" A fortune from the green coffin?"

Tao Ran looked at Lao Jiu suspiciously, and I said hastily, "Okay, let's eat first. These questions can be settled after we catch those people. By the way, I remember the faces of the two who escaped. Will it help you?"

Tao Ran said happily: "Of course, I can draw it according to your description."

I changed the subject smoothly and bypassed this crisis. After dinner, I ordered Meng Luo to wash the dishes, and then prepared a portrait with Tao Ran. During my description, Tao Ran modified the sketch little by little, and then Lao Jiu confirmed, and slowly, the portraits of the two people came alive on the paper, very vivid, Tao Ran's painting skills were jaw-dropping, "It's a good drawing, Officer Tao."

"It's just basic skills." Tao Ran said, "I will check these two people."

"Is it a business or a private matter?" I wanted to ask.

Tao Ran had a speechless expression: "Private matter, this matter is related to the Miao Village, so it is my private matter. In this matter, if I find out the whereabouts of these two people, I will share it with you. Wait for the call." ,I go first."

Tao Ran took the portrait and couldn't wait to leave. I grabbed her and pointed to the three red dots in her eyes: "Wait, are you going to sit idly by? What should we do? We don't know when this poison will be released." , like a ticking time bomb."

"As you like." Tao Ran raised the corner of his mouth, shook off my hand, and ran for the door.

"This woman is really, Lao Jiu!" When I turned around, I saw what Lao Jiu was thinking, and asked, "What are you thinking about, what should we do now, this girl won't let us get rid of the poison, but when I look in the mirror and see my own Eyes feel uncomfortable."

"Don't worry, why do I think Officer Tao's behavior is a bit strange," Lao Jiu said, "Well, let's test it ourselves."

"Test what?" I was completely confused.

"Test whether there is Gu poison on our body." Lao Jiu said: "You wait, I will arrange it."

Lao Jiu ran away from the door and came back half an hour later. He took three pairs of silver chopsticks. Before I could ask, he rushed into the kitchen again and started to cook three eggs. When we were done, let us peel each of them. One, looking at the slippery eggs, I wondered: "Lao Jiu, what are you doing, for food?"

I made a gesture to put it in my mouth, but Lao Jiu patted the back of my hand: "Put it down, this is used to test whether we have been poisoned by Gu, you just follow me."

Lao Jiu inserted the silver chopsticks into the egg, completely submerged in the egg, put the egg into his mouth, and gestured with his hand for the word "ten". Meng Luo and I dubiously followed Lao Jiu's method, and the three of us put it in our mouths. Stuffed an egg with a silver chopstick stuck in it, it was very funny, the "ten" sign by Lao Jiu was not ten seconds, but 10 minutes, we endured it for 10 minutes before we took out the egg, I The stomach was shallow, and the moment the egg was taken out, I almost vomited: "Oh my god, I'm suffocating."

I angrily threw the eggs with my chopsticks on the table, and wiped the drool from the corner of my mouth: "What on earth is this for?"

Meng Luo took out the egg and even took a bite. I turned my head speechlessly, and he said solemnly: "Anyway, it's just my own saliva, can't I eat it?"

"It's not a question of whether it's possible, it's..." I was also at a loss for words, so I could only ask Lao Jiu: "What's the point of this?"

"We have been going to the tomb for many years, and from time to time we will encounter some ancient tombs that use Gu poison as a protection," Lao Jiu said: "So I learned some methods to test whether I have been poisoned by Gu poison, and there are no chopsticks or eggs. Hei, this means we are not poisoned."

Indeed, the chopsticks and eggs are the same, without any change. I still can't believe it: "No, I have to admit it to Tao Ran."

"Look at the way she left just now, and the smug expression, don't you believe it?" Lao Jiu said, "Such an upright person wants to negotiate terms with us. Maybe this is just a trick, or..."

"Have you solved the Gu for us just now?" I suddenly realized that Tao Ran was indeed smiling strangely, and she was full of confidence. The same is true, after scratching hard a few times, they saw each other's eyes were red and bloodshot, and the bloodshot eyes faded away, and the three small red dots inside completely disappeared!
Lao Jiu was proud this time: "You see, I've solved it just now, and it's only now that I show it. As expected of Officer Tao, I suddenly have a good impression of her."

The same is true in my heart, sighed, and I said: "Now at least I know that Hanging Coffin and Xiang Yu can also be related. By the way, I took a picture of the small seal on the wall. I can try to decipher it myself. See if it is What content."

Compared with Xixia characters, it is much easier to figure out Xiaozhuan. The Emperor Qin abolished the various forms of the Six Kingdoms characters that were different from the Qin characters, and omitted, deleted, and modified the inherent seal characters of the Qin State, while absorbing folk characters. Some simplified and vulgar fonts, after being standardized, became a new font—Xiaozhuan.

The Xiaozhuan on the photo is based on one and a half characters of Fang Kai, one character is the regular body, half the characters are the vertical feet, the strokes are horizontal and vertical, the circle is even, and the thickness is basically the same.All horizontal and vertical paintings are equidistant and parallel, and all strokes are mainly circles, with circles contained in squares, and squares contained in circles, making the circles lively and interesting.

"Feng Su, died at the age of 30," I tried to translate it into a plain sentence: "died in [-] BC."

Lao Jiu said: "[-] BC was also the year Xiang Yu committed suicide, and the time is also right. Lin Tianyi, what else is there?"

"I was ordered in danger but lost an important token..." I said: "I will not live in peace for the rest of my life. If after I die, I hope that future generations can find the token. After I die, I will give up reincarnation forever and protect my tribe."

"Does the important token refer to broken jade?" Meng Luo squeezed over: "Could it be that she is also one of the six counselors?"

"Don't worry," I clicked on it with the mouse, and moved the photo. At the end of these small seal scripts, there is a stone carving pattern, but it is relatively blurred.

Lao Jiu said, "Zoom in."
