Chapter 285

What is Bazhen?It is the ranking of the most delicious delicacies in the world in the eyes of Chinese people.

Since ancient times, there have been many versions of Bazhen, and some good people have divided Bazhen into Mountain Bazhen, Sea Bazhen, Grass Bazhen, Capture Bazhen and so on.
The types of these eight treasures are constantly changing with the development of the times and changes in eating habits, but amidst the ever-changing, one order of the eight treasures has never changed, and this order is the so-called "ghost eight treasures".

I don’t know how long the ranking of Ghost Eight Treasures has lasted. I just heard my master and Zhao Shuihe occasionally mention that the ranking of this Eight Treasures came from that era. Spirit, Carp Monster, Human Milk, Jin Zhuyi, Zihe Che, Tai Sui Meat, Ruanxiangyu, Full Blood Leech"

Among them, Piling is a primate with extremely sensitive sense of taste. According to legend, it is the descendant of the ancient beast Pixiu. The brain is an existence that is many times superior to the monkey brain.

Therefore, this kind of strange head who eats delicacies and is eaten by people at the same time has become the first existence among the eight treasures of ghosts.

After confirming that the pattern on the second tripod was Piling, I was more determined that these eight tripods represented the "Ghost Eight Treasures", so I entered the other tripod again and painted the "Ghost Eight Treasures" on it. Cook Antu" all wiped out.

Soon, scenes of astonishing, weird, grand, or bloody scenes were presented before our eyes.

In one tripod, there is a painting of a woman who is naked and tied to some kind of support. The woman is giving birth, and beside her, there is someone who can't wait to use some kind of container to hold the milk she secretes...

In another cauldron, a group of people set up a cauldron, but what was cooked in the disaster was not a delicacy, but a large stone with sharp edges and corners that seemed to be shining...

I looked at those pictures one by one, and it seems that the pictures inside the tripod are the ultimate meaning expressed by these eight tripods, and the real purpose of Heilanbo City, as these scrolls are unfolded in front of me, The speculation in my mind finally took shape.

When I saw the last one depicting a person being pushed into a puddle full of leeches, I turned around and explained my discovery to Xian Hongye and the others: "These ancient paintings in the cauldron are all totem worship, Heilan The Bo people regard the eight treasures of ghosts as something worthy of worship and put them in these tripods for sacrifice."

I think that since Heilanbo people are the descendants of Zhou Tianzi, King Su and his descendants must respect the rituals and etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty very much, but when the first King Su escaped from Zong Zhou, there were only himself and two maidservants. Thinking, such a desolate and delicious Su Wang will definitely not bring out any mysterious books and cultural relics of the Zhou Dynasty, so what he can pass on to his descendants is probably only the "Food Forbidden Law" that can be written by a foodie. up.

And from the urn, ancient tripod, and remains of the dead that the Helanbo people still have, they have also inherited what their ancestors explained.

Therefore, I further infer that although the Heilanbo people are descendants of the Zhou people, they have gradually absorbed a lot of mourning and the ancient culture of the Miao people in the long history of thousands of years of wandering, so that the food culture of the Zhou Dynasty that they inherited has emerged. Some mutations occurred, which eventually led them to regard the animal and plant ingredients in the ghost eight treasures as objects of worship.

But the number of Guibazhen itself is relatively small, and the way to obtain it is even more limited. Therefore, these ancient people used some cold knowledge in the Zhou food prohibition, and used the sieve urn and Zhou Dynasty eating utensils we saw on the way, The ingredients in many Ghost Eight Treasures have been "transformed".It ended up with the mess we saw.

The carps growing in the boa constrictor, the blood leeches in the pangolin, and the Tai Sui meat growing in the dead are all some "relics" left by the ancient Helambers. Obviously, they really mastered a certain method, Allows parasites to grow that shouldn't grow in other organisms.

And this should be the power that the old nineteen, Zhao Gong, dreamed of.

After knowing everything, I raised my hand and pointed to the eight tripods and said to Hei Lang and his men: "The eight tripods are arranged in the order of the gossip in the Zhou Dynasty, but the Heilanbo people have forgotten it during thousands of years of wandering. What is the combination of gossip, so they replaced the gossip with 'Ghost Bazhen', and then built such a mechanism."

"Do you know the correct order?" Black Wolf asked me.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but I can only guess. Whether the guess is right or not depends on your fate."

"Try slowly!" Hei Lang said in a simple and unrefutable manner.

I had no choice, so I had no choice but to say to Xian Hongye: "Hongye, gossip is a combination of eight natural phenomena, right? Those eight? Can you tell me?"

Hongye spread her fingers and said to me one by one: "Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Mountain, Ze"

"Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Mountain, Ze" I repeated, looking up at the ancient tripod with the painting of Piling Monkey, pointing to it and saying: "Piling is said to be the descendant of Pixiu, It is a divine beast that came down from the sky, the head of the eight treasures of ghosts, it should represent the sky."

Afterwards, I looked at the ghost tripod depicting the carp monster, and further speculated: "The carp monster was born in the water, absorbing the essence of fish and insects in the water, and it was born for water."

Since then, my thinking has been completely opened up, and I further speculated: "Man is made of soil, so man's milk is the land, Jin Zhuyi was born in a mountain stream, but it is said that the westerly wind lays eggs, so it is the wind, and Zihe chariot is man. Made by the placenta, people make a sound and cry. It is also called "Sheng Lei" in ancient times, so it is thunder. Ruanxiang jade is the essence of jade. When eating, it must be steamed for three days and three nights. , for Ze"

Soon, I determined the positions of the eight tripods in one-to-one correspondence.

Generally speaking, things that symbolize the sky are the most solemn and are often placed in the northernmost place, and the rest are arranged according to the orientation of the Eight Diagrams, which should be able to solve the so-called mystery of the Eight Tripods.

With my thoughts, Hei Lang nodded slightly, and then said something to the foreign mercenaries behind him, "Smecta, Smecta".After that, these people took out the cushioning air cushion and small moving equipment, identified the position under my guidance, reversed the order of the tripod, and rearranged it on those rocky bases.

In fact, when I said those words, I had a lot of assumptions. I don’t know if I can solve the mysteries contained in these tripods, but I have no choice, so I have to bite the bullet and try to find a way to study these absurd things. The problem.

Of course, I am also curious, I am curious about what Heilang and the old nineteen behind him want to get from the "dead wall" next to the tripod, which is full of dead people.

Behind that, is there really the corpse of the so-called last millet king?
