This year's monsters are super fierce [75]

"Left worm and right danger, Shizuku and ghost have the same pronunciation."

Yan Buzhou touched the shzuku shell, it lost its four legs, only a shzuku head and the shell remained.She didn't know much about this thing, and there was only one line left in "Shan Hai Jing? Zhong Shan Jing".

"The ancient books only say that Shizuku looks like a tortoise, with a white body and a red head. This kind of strange beast can be used to resist fire. The breath of this creature's shell is neither ominous nor auspicious, but has a water vapor. "

At the moment, Zhu Ming touched Shizuku's white jade-like shell repeatedly, but he couldn't feel any moisture.

However, with the jade-like Shizuku shell coiled in his hand, he felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility, being washed away from the anger caused by the exhumation.

"Don't talk about it, it's really strange! This thing is really spiritual. The store that took it didn't know the real identity, and only made top-quality jade. Now it seems that it is not too far away.

The shells, bones, and horns of rare and exotic animals can be sold for a lot of money, which is worth 1000 taels of gold. "

After all, Zhu Ming is still a businessman, so the three sentences in this meeting are inevitably related to the high price of the item.

"Worth a thousand gold? No, it's far more than that. With engravings on this shell, it should be worth a thousand gold."

Yan Buzhou didn't have a deep study of oracle bone inscriptions, so he wasn't proficient in translation at all, but he could still identify one or two common ones.

Right now, Yan Buzhou dare not be [-]% sure that the inscription on Shizuku's shell is the oracle bone inscription that was only confirmed in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in his previous life, but the two are very similar.Therefore, even if there are two writing systems, they must be closely related to each other.

"Ah?" Zhu Ming originally didn't intend to use this thing to make money.The people in the circle wanted to save face and offered him a price of 1000 taels of gold. They thought it would be fine to keep it or donate it for themselves, but the rumors don’t mean that this thing is a priceless treasure?

"How did this writing say how to become a fairy? It's so precious? Mr. Yan, what did it say?"

"From the perspective of historical dating, it is too valuable for research. If I am not wrong, this kind of writing should come from the Yin and Shang sacrifices, and it is not common in people's daily life."

When Yan Buzhou said this, he spread his hands in a very lonely way.

"As for, you ask me what is written on it? I'm sorry I can't do anything, I'm afraid it will take another 1000 years for someone to answer your question."

Why were oracle bone inscriptions not discovered and identified until the late Qing Dynasty?The reason may be that in the past thousands of years, the right time, place and people did not occupy the same as the three.

There are not a large number of tortoise shells unearthed with inscriptions, and no insightful people have identified them, or there have been some studies but the influence is very small, and they have been helplessly lost in the long river of history.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yan Buzhou to find a master of oracle bone inscriptions to completely decipher the contents on the shell, unless the high priest of Yin Shang is resurrected.

Zhu Ming choked suddenly, turned his head to look at Zhan Zhao who didn't say much, and only dared to signal with his eyes, "Your family is really a bit of a ruffian, so you don't have anything to say?" '

Zhan Zhao pretended not to see Zhu Ming's eyes, and noticed that Yan Buzhou's fingers touched several inscriptions repeatedly, and they all had something in common.

Most of them have a horizontal one in the center of the ○, and most of them have a ∧ pattern on the top of the S.The former looks like a Japanese character, while the latter twists and turns like a crawling snake.

"Even if we can't recognize the specific content, we can still guess it. Some of the words on it are very vivid."

Zhan Zhao expressed his thoughts about 'sun' and 'snake', "Shizuku's shell contains water vapor, and the inscriptions on it are mostly used in sacrifices, and combined with the current situation of Zeshui Village. Ah Yan, we might as well make a bold guess, Shizuku A shell is for suppressing something."

Yan Buzhou nodded, and very much agreed with Zhan Zhao's idea, "In ancient times, there was a saying that Mangdang Mountain was taken from Mangdang Mountain, and there were many snake-like figures on the shell of the scorpion. A snake-shaped beast. Once that kind of beast comes out, there will be a severe drought in the world."

The severe drought in the world is by no means an alarmist statement.

If it was just a drought in a small area like Zeshui Village, how could the strange beast Shizuku be used to suppress it, and an oracle bone inscription was engraved on its shell.

Zhu Ming quickly figured this out, and he couldn't help worrying, "That black-hearted Ji Xin, wouldn't he release some monster for money?" Ordinary shallow pit. Although Ji Xin refused to confess, he told Jiusui everything before, and Jiusui returned to the shallow pit to search. You can see, this is the situation in the area that Jiusui explained. "

Yan Buzhou took out Jiusui's stack of confessions, which was not a simple written statement, but even a detailed map was drawn exactly.

Zhan Zhao and Zhu Ming flipped through the confession, the former was very clear about his ability to draw pictures without words, but the latter was secretly dumbfounded, because Jiu Sui's confession was too detailed.

Zhu Ming seemed to glance at Zhan Zhao inadvertently.Besides, when he received Zhou Hua's letter before, he never thought of asking the most famous Nan Xia for help.

On the one hand, he was worried about Zhan Zhao joining the Gongmen, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that Nanxia might not be compatible with these outsiders, so he only wanted to find Mr. Yan, a foreign aid who is proficient in alchemy in Kaifeng Mansion.

However, meeting and cooperating this time, things were unexpected.

Zhu Ming murmured in his heart, according to him, Jiusui Lao Daoist was very treacherous, let that kind of person confess so clearly, that kind of interrogation method might make the old Jiang Hu feel a little scared.

Seeing Zhan Zhao not changing his face and taking it for granted, is beauty in the eye of the beholder?Or are the rumors unbelievable, Nan Xia doesn't have such rigid integrity?

"Jiu Sui said that he helped Ji Xin in digging up the tomb and whipping the corpse. On the one hand, he collected a lot of money, and on the other hand, he wanted to use the corpse to hunt for treasure."

She didn't care what Zhu Ming was thinking about if she didn't speak well, she forced Jiusui to confess everything with the power of the virtual mirror.The specific method is similar to the soul search technique, which can be revealed by using the virtual mirror, so there is no need to explain it to others.

The point is that Jiusui also doesn't know the specific situation in Dangshan.

The source of Jiusui's abilities is very special. He has been a wandering Taoist priest for more than 20 years, relying on nonsense to make ends meet.

Unexpectedly, he was bitten by a poisonous snake in Miaojiang ten years ago, fell into the river in a daze, and hit his head on a piece of jade slip.The blood seeped into the jade slip, and he was poured into his head with the real secret technique at that time.

From then on, Jiusui boasted that he was in the sky.

Even though those secret arts did not follow the path of doing good deeds, but using the evil method of killing dead bodies and raising poisonous insects, he practiced step by step according to the gourd painting, and changed his name to Jiusui, thinking that he could cultivate the art of immortality .

This time, Jiusui wanted to refine Zhou Hua's ancestors into a dry 魃. The saying of begging for rain with dry bone stakes was just a custom in the land attached to Henan and Shandong. things.

Both of them can cause drought, so he guessed that it might be able to trigger the two qi to echo each other.If you find something that has been suppressed and dig out its bones, it will definitely be a treasure for cultivating sorcery.

Jiusui's experience sounded like an adventure in a play. Now that she hadn't had time to think about the magic jade slip, she first outlined Jiusui's plan.

"This is just a plan, and Jiu Sui is not completely sure. It is unknown whether the Hanbai transformed into a corpse can succeed. However, he got 50 taels of gold, and he thought it would be worthwhile, so he tried his best to make it happen. Pile business.

Leaving aside Jiusui's wishful thinking, I agree with him on one point.Speaking of the thing that was suppressed, it is very unlikely that it is still alive, and most of them are just like Shizuku, leaving only bones. "

"Really?" Zhu Ming was dubious, and deduced the timeline backwards. Ji Xin found Shizuku shells on August [-]th, and Zeshui Village began to show signs of drought after Qingming.

"It's been full of calculations. From the beginning of March to the beginning of October, it's been seven months. The drought that lasted for seven months is getting worse. Is there really no evil thing born?"

Yan Buzhou pointed to a box of ancient books in the corner of the tent, which contained various records of Dangshan since ancient times. "If that thing is still alive, and the shell that seals it is removed, then not one Zeshui village is dry now, at least there must be thousands of them.

I wish the boss is in the antique business, and I have heard the saying that strange beasts came out in ancient times, and there was a severe drought in the world.It has been 600 years since the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Even if the thing is not dead, it should be dying. "

Zhan Zhao continued, "In the past six months, there has been no widespread drought in the Song Dynasty, Liao Kingdom, and Western Xia Dynasty, so the possibility of this thing leaving alive is extremely low. It is more likely that the seal was destroyed Yes, let the aftermath of that thing's bones disperse in all directions.

How was the seal broken?Shizuku shell fell into the shallow pit again?I think [-]% of the possibilities are related to the tomb robbers.

Since the rise of the study of gold and stone in recent years, it is about to usher in a prosperous age of collecting, and there are more and more tomb robbers secretly.As for why the tomb robbers didn't take away the priceless Shizuku shell?I'm afraid I have to go into the mountains to find out the truth. "

When it comes to tomb robbery, Zhu Ming has much more experience than the previous two.Although he didn't go to the tomb frequently, he couldn't be more clear about the disputes and entanglements in it.

At the moment, the first reaction is that the uneven distribution of spoils led to the loss of Shizuku shells.If tomb robbers really entered Dangshan, they would definitely leave behind their whereabouts. Using this as a clue, they might be able to find the sealed place.

"According to the two of you, if that thing dies from time to time, it is not far from death. This is great news."

Zhu Ming thought for a while and made up his mind, "If the two of you don't dislike it, I want to go to Dangshan Mountain with you to explore. How much, I also know something about inversions, and I can see where the robbers have dug a hole, so I can help you together Looking for the tomb of Yin and Shang. To be honest, I have never been to a tomb before the Han Dynasty, and I am really itchy."

Zhu Ming's father and brother died in robbing tombs and buying and selling antiques. Normally, he should stay far away, but he was really interested in it.

Now, money is not the most important thing to him, he doesn't care about spending thousands of taels of gold to buy a Shizuku shell to listen to the sound, but he wants to pursue something that is really interesting.

Yan Buzhou glanced at Zhu Ming irrefutably. She had said earlier that she was not interested in the matter of tomb robbery, but many things hit the door and had to be dealt with.

She and Zhan Zhao had been to the cemetery twice earlier, and she and Zhan Zhao were safe and sound, but she knew very well that the Yin Shang cemetery in Dangshan Mountain was not a tomb with a lot of burial objects, but a sacrificial place like a tomb.

Yin and Shang places great emphasis on ghosts and gods, and worship witchcraft very much.Places like this need the help of someone who is well versed in geology, and the one she can trust is in the exam room.Assuming that Gongsun Ce passed the provincial examination, he would have to prepare for the palace examination again. After the whole set of examinations, he would have to wait until early November.

"You can't act rashly in this matter. You must be fully prepared. Even the bones should not be underestimated. First, you must prepare all the equipment, and second, wait for me to read the ancient books and list the snake-like beasts that I may encounter. "

Yan Buzhou knew that when Gongsun Ce was free, he would have to wait at least another month, fearing that the delay would be quite long.Choosing to go with Zhu Ming, who had some experience in tomb robbery, was an idea of ​​retreating, but he didn't immediately agree, because there were still many preparations to be made.

The night is already deep.

Don't have to make important decisions late at night.

The patrols outside had almost finished their supper. Except for a few soldiers on watch, everyone should have a rest.

Sending off Zhu Ming, the candles were extinguished for many months in the tent.

Yan Buzhou and Zhan Zhao rested in their clothes, separated by a warm basin with a fire, lying on both sides far apart.

After a while, there was a slight crackling sound of dry wood burning in the tent.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help looking sideways at Yan Buzhou, and found that she was lying on her back and hadn't closed her eyes to sleep. "You're still asleep, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about Wu Yan."

The incoherence of the words was originally due to the speaker's inadvertence, and then Zhan Zhao muttered something.She didn't hear the specific content clearly, but she turned her head and smiled, and saw Zhan Zhao's undisguised aggrieved eyes, with a look of 'we sleep in the same tent, and you're thinking about another man'.

"I was just thinking about going to Yunmeng Lake with Wuyan to kill the snake. Wuyan and Laodao said they were going to follow Bi Fang's trail, but in fact they should have gone on a tour. , Traveling the world to help enlightenment.

In case there is an organ array in the sealed place of Dangshan, if there is no Yan, it will be more helpful.It's not good to disturb Mr. Gongsun this time, I can only pray that the previous two times will be as safe as before. "

Yan Buzhou explained a few words, and it was clear that Zhan Zhao knew this well, not because he didn't believe her. "Vinegoose, don't pretend to be wronged on purpose. I won't leave the bed to coax you. Don't think about it."

"Oh." Zhan Zhao accepted the reality very quickly, but the next moment he made a gesture to stand up, "As the old saying goes, if there is no mountain, I will be the mountain. Ah Yan, how about I go over there?"
