The Dian Kingdom fell in the Western Han Dynasty.
In the middle period, there was great civil strife in the country, and some people split from the Dian Kingdom.
These people entered the mountains and lived an isolated life.
Since then, these people have slowly disappeared from history, and the understanding of them by later generations only comes from sporadic records in Luojiyinyikao.
These people who separated from the ancient Dian Kingdom naturally formed a tribal group.
They had a very weird ritual, using strange jars suspended in the water to drown the living people in them and feed them with the dead. fish.
A fish that eats human flesh every day is several times stronger than an ordinary fish.
After the fish grows up, the tank should be taken out of the water on the night of the full moon, the human bones inside should be burned, and used as sacrifices to the six jade beasts, and then the fish in the tank should be cooked into soup and eaten.
It is said that eating this fish can prolong your life.
The old shopkeeper of the coffin shop in Shibei Shop doesn't know how he got these things.
Whether they are inherited from his ancestors or found by himself, he doesn't know yet.
It is very likely that he mastered this set of evil rituals and discovered the pre-Qin ruins under the coffin shop.
This is equivalent to finding a very hidden place.
In order to hide it better without being exposed, he used the technique of killing people by patting the coffin.
Legend has it that the nearby villagers were afraid of his shop and did not dare to approach it.
It was not until his death that these secrets emerged.
However, whether the old shopkeeper of the coffin shop is a murderer or not will have to wait for the police from the public security bureau to conduct detailed investigation and evidence collection.
After listening to Professor Sun's words, there happened to be braised fish in the dish.
I was so sick that I could hardly eat anymore.
The more I thought about it, the more disgusting I became, so I simply stopped eating.
I said to Professor Sun: "You are simply the Sherlock Holmes of the East.
I have been studying for a long time, but I can't figure out why.
You are so tall."
Professor Sun's attitude this time was much better than last time, and he immediately said to me: "Actually, I saw someone collecting such a strange tank in Yunnan before.
I bought it from Nanyang many years ago.
I didn't expect this.
I have been practicing sorcery to this day.
You remember what I said last time that Lao Chen saved my life.
That was also in Yunnan."
Although this kind of disgusting and cruel magic is weird, it has nothing to do with us directly after all.
If we can find Professor Sun, we have achieved our goal, so we can just listen to what Professor Sun said just now.
Shiry Yang and I were about to ask him about Professor Chen.
We didn't think of how to speak for a while.
Then we heard Professor Sun mention Professor Chen and asked him to elaborate.
Professor Sun sighed: "Well, what can I say?
It's embarrassing to say it, but it's been so many years anyway.
At that time, Lao Chen and I were sent to Yunnan to undergo rehabilitation.
Lao Chen was more than ten years older than me.
He took good care of me.
I had some style problems at that time and fell in love with a local widow.
You should know how bad this incident was at the time. " I pretended to listen seriously on the surface, but smiled to myself: "Old man Sun looks like a farmer working in the fields, not a professor at all.
I didn't expect that there were such romantic stories in the past.
Even this romance is...
The explanation has been made.
From this point, it can be seen that he is a person who can't keep things secret.

It's not too difficult to trick him.
The key is to find a good breakthrough. " Just listen to Professor Sun continue to say: "At that time, I couldn't withstand the pressure.
I hung myself in the cowshed.
I kicked the stool away from my feet before I felt uncomfortable.
I didn't want to die.
I felt very regretful.
I began to be particularly nostalgic for life, but I regretted it.
It was too late, my tongue was halfway out, and I was about to die.
At this time, Lao Chen rushed over and saved me.
Without Lao Chen, where would I be today?
" I knew the opportunity had come.
Professor Sun recalled what happened in those years, which touched my heart and started talking more.
Taking this opportunity, I quickly said that Professor Chen's current condition was ten times worse, and asked Shiry Yang to take out the Yiwen Dragon Bone.
I showed the rubbings to Professor Sun and told him why we came to ask him.
Even if it was for Professor Chen's sake, he would make an exception and reveal some secrets to us.
Professor Sun's expression immediately changed, he bit his lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally said to us: "I can take this rubbing back and help you look at it and analyze what is written on it, but you can't help me with this matter."
Don’t tell anyone.
It’s not convenient to say more here.
Come see me again after we return to the Gulan County Guest House tomorrow.”
I was worried that he would change his mind again, so I asked for the rubbings of the Yiwen Dragon Bone and made an agreement with Professor Sun to show him after I returned to the county guest house.
After eating that day, Shiry Yang and I were going to take the road back to Gulan County.
Before we left the village, we were stopped by the blind fortune teller who was always talking about trains.
The blind man asked me if I still wanted to buy his copy of Genzi Mi Di.
As for the eye picture, the goods are sold at home.
As for the price, it is easy to negotiate.
If I hadn't seen the blind man, I would have almost forgotten about it.
I know that his book of Genzi Mi’s Eye Map is actually a Feng Shui map, which is of little use.
The real book is made of special materials, so it is valuable.
The content of the map itself is similar to that of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so it doesn’t have much meaning.
Besides, a blind man At first glance, this book looks like a Xibei product that laid eggs.
It is not genuine at all.
I said to the blind man: "Old man, you still want to sell this picture to someone who knows the goods."
The blind man said: "That's natural.
If you know the goods, I will give you whatever price you want.
If you don't know the goods, even if you promise a thousand gold, it will be in vain.
This sacred object must not fall into the hands of ordinary people.
I touched your bones that day.
After cutting off your appearance, I discovered that your Excellency has seven snake-locked orifices and was born with the appearance of a majestic prince.
Looking at the current world, who else can be worthy of this vision of the world?"
I said to the blind man: "If that's the case, then I'm afraid you won't be able to sell this atlas, because it is simply a counterfeit.
Those who know the goods are not willing to buy it, and you won't sell it to those who don't know the goods.
You'd better keep it for yourself as soon as possible.
Well, please stop making excuses with the princes, okay?
Our family may have had pigs and monkeys before, but we have never had any pigs and monkeys.
If I were a pig and monkey, I should go to the zoo. ” When the blind man saw that I had discovered this fake picture, he begged me to take him to Beijing out of consideration for our fellow travelers, where he could tell people's fortunes, touch their bones, and resell some egg-laying instruments. , or to respond to the country’s call and become well-off.

I saw that the blind man was really pitiful, and I felt pity for him.
After discussing it with Shiry Yang, I agreed to the blind man's request and agreed to return to Beijing to find him a place to live near Panjiayuan and let Da Jinya take care of him.
He, and the blind man can run an aircraft carrier with his mouth, which can be a good support for our future business.
But I told the blind man that the capital is no better than other places.
If you tell someone's fortune and tell them what they will be like in the future, it won't work.
You might as well be labeled as inciting mass uprisings.
The blind man nodded repeatedly: "You don't need to tell me these truths.
I can understand it naturally.
I cannot afford to bear that crime.
Once the higher ups investigate it, I will be put in jail without saying anything.
When I get to the capital, I will It’s just a matter of picking it up and making a fortune.”
So I took the blind man back to Gulan Guest House.
If you have anything to say, you will be long, and if you have nothing to do, you will be short.
In the afternoon of the next day, I finally expected Professor Sun to come back.
He immediately asked the blind man to wait in the guest house, and made an appointment with Shiry Yang to meet Professor Sun in a restaurant in the county town.
In the restaurant, Professor Sun said to us: "As for the Dragon Bone Essay, the reason why I didn't tell you last time was because I had more concerns at the time.
But I thought about it all night yesterday.
Even for Lao Chen, I had to do it."
I said it.
But I hope you will act with caution and not cause too much trouble."
I asked Professor Sun: "I don't quite understand, what do you have to worry about?
Why can't these things from thousands of years ago be made public today?"
Professor Sun shook his head and said: "It's not that I can't say it, it's just that I haven't had the time to say it.
The information I have is very limited.
These different texts are all ancient confidential documents, which record some things that are rarely known or even recorded in history. .Although the method of deciphering the Heavenly Book has been mastered, due to the years apart, The era is too far away.
How to understand and verify the cracked content is very difficult and complicated.
Moreover, these dragon bone variant texts have many defects and it is difficult to see well-preserved ones.
Once the cracked content is different from There is ambiguity in the original text.
Even if only one word is inaccurate, the error will be huge."
I said to Professor Sun: "You told us these business matters, but we don't understand them either.
We have traveled thousands of miles to come to you just to know about the Muchen Bead and the dragon bone abnormality brought by Shirey Yang.
I hope you can help us decipher the rubbings and see if there are any clues to the Muchen Bead."
Professor Sun took the rubbings, looked at them for a long time, and then said to me: "According to regulations, these are not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world.
This was the reason why I scared you last time, because this information is not mature yet, and publishing it would be unfair to history."
Responsible.
But this time for Lao Chen, I don't care about the rules, so I'm going to risk it today.
You want to ask about the Muchen Bead.
I know very little about the Muchen Bead.
I think it may be some kind of symbolic ritual object, shaped like an eyeball. , first appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, in the unearthed It is recorded in the Dragon Bone Secret Text of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
As for the period when the Muchen Bead was made, and where the material was obtained, there is no clear information like the rubbing you brought here.
I don't think so.
The symbol on the fixed dragon bone is the Muchen Bead, but I can tell you with certainty that this symbol, which looks like an eyeball and a whirlpool, represents the phoenix in the secret texts of the Zhou Dynasty.
The information recorded on this rubbing is the Western Zhou people's understanding of the phoenix.
Description of Mingqishan.”
My mind was full of questions, so I asked Professor Sun: "Isn't the phoenix an animal made up by the ancients?

Is it really true in this world?"
Professor Sun replied: "It's hard to say.
Since the Dragon Bone Book records very important files of the ancient ruling class, ordinary people cannot know the contents.
So I personally believe in the content recorded in the Dragon Bone Code.
But having said that, I don’t think there is a phoenix in the world.
Maybe it’s a cipher within a cipher, a hint within a hint.”
I asked Professor Sun: "Are you saying that this content seems to describe the phoenix, but in fact it is a replacement for a certain event or object, just like in some war movies we watch, some national soldiers privately call the chairman an old man?
, when you mention the old man, everyone knows it’s Chiang Kai-shek.”
Professor Sun said: "Your analogy is very inappropriate, but the meaning is somewhat close.
In ancient times, the phoenix mingled in Qishan, which foreshadowed the way to conquer the unjust, and the rising Zhou Dynasty replaced the declining Shang Zhou.
This fictional phoenix The spiritual beast can be said to be a symbol of good luck and wealth.
It has been popular in various historical periods.
They all have specific meanings in different religious backgrounds, but as for what it means in the Dragon Bone Book, it’s hard to say.
I infer that this eye-shaped symbol represents the phoenix, which is also based on the other words in the Dragon Bone Chapter 1 and 2.
It can be inferred that there should be no mistake about this.”
I nodded and said, "That's right, because the Muchen Bead itself has another name, called Phoenix Gallbladder.
I don't know where this name started to spread.
It seems that this eye-shaped ancient jade is different from that kind of ancient jade.
There is some connection between the fictional creature Phoenix.
Professor, is there any clue about the ancient tomb or location in the secret text of this rubbing?"
Professor Sun said: "If I don't want to tell you, it really means nothing.
I will help you write the translation on paper.
You will know at a glance that this is just an ancient article describing Fengming Qishan in worshiping the heaven.
This kind of Things have always been valued by emperors.
You can pray for the prediction of the phoenix's cry, and then you can receive orders from heaven and achieve great things.
Just like when we open a restaurant now, we set off firecrackers and hang red banners to seek good luck. " Shiry Yang Ru and I were lost in the fog.
We originally thought that this precious rubbing would contain the whereabouts of the Muchen Bead, but in the end there was only this content.
I asked Professor Sun to write down the translation in the rubbings and read it several times.
Indeed, no location was mentioned.
It seems that this clue that has been laid aside for decades has been broken again today.
If I were to look for new clues again, it would be no less than finding a needle in a haystack.
I couldn't help but grit my teeth when I thought about where I was angry, and the veins on my forehead jumped.
Shiry Yang beside me also bit her lip, her whole body trembling slightly, and tears welling up in her eyes.
Professor Sun saw that the two of us were dejected, so he took out a photo and put it on the table: "Don't be so depressed first.
Let's take a look at the photo I took yesterday.
Maybe you can go to the deep mountains and forests of Yunnan and you will find some pictures there.
Harvest.”
I took the photo from Professor Sun's hand and took a look at Shirey Yang.
The photo showed six fist-sized blood-red jade beasts with weird shapes, resembling lions and tigers, with feathers on their bodies, and only one eye.
The jade beast has a ferocious appearance, and there are many mercury spots on its body.
Although the workmanship is exquisite, it gives people a very evil and cold look.
I don’t know why, but when I thought that this was the item belonging to the owner of the coffin shop, I felt indescribable disgust.
I didn’t want to look at it any more, and my stomach churned with nausea as soon as I saw it.
I asked Professor Sun, “Professor, this photo was taken from the stone monument yesterday.
Was it taken by the store?

Could it be that the photo is the Stone Box Jade Beast found under the coffin shop?"
Professor Sun nodded and said, "Yes, I thought you would be able to use this photo, so I asked my assistant to return to the county seat overnight and develop the negatives.
You can take a closer look at what's special about the photo."
ShiryYang didn't want to look at these evil beasts anymore.
After listening to Professor Sun's words, it seemed that there were some clues related to the Muchen Bead in the photo, so he picked up the photo and looked at it carefully, and finally found the characteristics: "Professor, The six red jade evil beasts all have only one eye, and it is surprisingly large and does not conform to the normal proportions.
What's more, the most special thing is that the single eye of the jade beast is exactly the same as the Muchen Bead."
Professor Sun said to us: "Yes, that's exactly the case.
That's why I just advised you not to be depressed.
There is a bright future after another."
Shiry Yang and I were both pleasantly surprised, but we couldn't figure out how the ancient Dian Kingdom, located in a corner of southern Xinjiang, could be related to the Muchen Bead.
Could it be that the Muchen Bead, which has been missing for so many years, has been hidden in the tomb of a certain Dian king:
