Original War

Chapter 269

When I first opened my eyes, my consciousness was still a little lax, and it took a while to gradually concentrate.

The face of Wu He leader appeared above.

“A Xuan, how are you?” Ao asked.

Shao Xuan sat up with some difficulty, took the glass of water that Wu handed him and drank, and then said slowly, “It’s okay.”

It’s not like you are “okay”. Ao Xindao.

After pouring a few more glasses of water, Shao Xuan felt that the lost physical strength recovered a little, and then briefly said what he had found in the wooden house. He didn’t mention the special ability of own, it was only intuition.

Ao breathed a sigh of relief after listening, it wasn’t just the one who was attacked.

“That’s it?” Wu took the wooden plate with gold powder and the wooden tube with gold powder.

“Yes. What about that leaf?” Shao Xuan asked.

Wu and Ao looked at each other and shook their heads.

“I’ll call Guihe over and ask again, no, I’ll go to the wooden house myself.” Ao said. Guihe wouldn’t lie. If there was a leaf painted with gold powder, it would definitely bring it, but it didn’t.

“I’ll go over and take a look.” Shao Xuan got up. Some are weak, but it’s okay to move around.

“I’ll go with you,” Wu said.

The three highest-ranking members of the Yanjiao tribe went out at the same time, and both Ta and Guihe greeted people to come over and protect them nervously, for fear of an assassin. It’s really insecure in the tribe these days. Originally, he was guarding against fierce beasts, but now I find that people are more troublesome than fierce beasts.

When he came to the wooden house again, Shao Xuan pointed to the place where he held the leaves before. The leaf was indeed not seen around.

“Has anyone else come in?” Ao asked.

Guihe shook his head, “It shouldn’t be there.” Recently, the people living around here are busy drawing a line with the two, how could it be possible to enter the house. As for the others who followed him, he believed that no one would hide things privately.

Wu walked around the house, then stayed where Shao Xuan had passed out, crouched, stretched out his arms, and brushed across the ground.

The air flow driven by the palm blows the dust on the ground, but there is still some dust that has not been blown.

“That leaf is scattered.” Wu said.

“It’s scattered? When I took it out, the leaf seemed to be freshly picked, and it was green.” Shao Xuan was surprised. But if Wu said it was broken, it was really broken.

When he returned to the stone house, Wu let Shao Xuan stay alone.

“Do you know that when you are not awake, the movements of your fingers?” Wu asked.

“I don’t know.” Shao Xuan shook his head. At that time, even if he was beaten into a pig face outside, he couldn’t feel it, let alone the movement of his fingers.

“You are knotting the rope.” Wu’s eyes were meaningful.

“The knot?”

“Yeah.” Wu told Shao Xuan about the history of knotting the rope and the epilogue. These were mentioned in the precious records left by the ancestors. Although Wu did not understand very clearly, it was still roughly. Can be inferred from those written records.

“And the leaf you are holding is probably a’long live leaf.’ It is rumored that long live the earth will not be bad.” Wu said again.

“Is there really a long live leaf?” Shao Xuan doubted.

“This is not a false statement.” Wu touched the golden powder that still existed on the wooden plate with his finger, and said to Shao Xuan: “These are also the powder crumbs produced by the long live tree where the long live leaf is located.”

Shao Xuan didn’t say a word, and Wu didn’t care whether he believed it or not, and continued: “According to reports, a long time ago, leaves, carapace, etc. were also tools used by ancestors to pass on, and precious plants such as long live leaves are records. A messenger of important inheritance. Shao Xuan, you know that once, the inheritance of witches only had language, but no words.

Even if text and pictures are popular nowadays, there are many inheritances that do not use graphics. For example, some abilities that I will pass to Guize in the future. Such inheritances, even if they are written down with pictures and texts, will be destroyed. They only exist once. When the receiver absorbs them, there will be no more words for others in the world. Naturally, no second person will get the same. inherited. ”

“You mean, that piece of long live leaf is the inheritance that was recorded by a certain witch?” Shao Xuan asked.

“Yes.”

“Between different tribes, because of totems and fire, the inheritance should be isolation and rejection, but why am I not rejected?” Shao Xuandao. He glanced at the leaf and fell. And the leaves that people said to be long-lived in the soil for fulfilling their mission as a messenger have been dispersed.

The witch couldn’t answer, he didn’t know many of them, and couldn’t give an answer.

“So, I inherited the inheritance on that leaf? I don’t know what it is. I only saw a pair of hands, holding a rope in the knot, but it kept going around, without completing a knot. Shao Xuan talked about the scene he had seen in the sea of ​​consciousness, hoping to get some hints from Wu.

Wu stroked his beard, both of which were pulled off, but he still didn’t figure out what it was.

“In this way, tomorrow you go to Guize and let her teach you how to tie the rope.” Wu said, “The way of inheriting the rope before the words appeared, to the stone bone wood skin after the words appeared. Ancient times. In my opinion, the method of knotting the rope is very mysterious. In ancient times, the method of knotting was used for divination, deeds, memorials, and so on.”

“Just a few knots can represent so many things?” Shao Xuandao. But as soon as this sentence came out, he wanted to slap himself.

stupid! Of course, things related to the profession of witch cannot be theorized. Even if they draw an egg, you can’t think that it is really an egg, let alone a few ropes and knots.

I originally thought that this is already ancient, but I didn’t expect that there are even more ancient things.

However, Shao Xuan was really interested in the knotting notes. He wanted to figure out what kind of information the leaf wanted to convey. The letters are all long live leaves, and how precious are the things conveyed on it?

The next day, Shao Xuan went to the medicine store in Guize.

The witch had already told Guize about the matter. When he saw Shao Xuan, Guize put down what he was doing, and pointed to some animal skin scrolls on the wooden table beside him, “That was all given to you by the witch.”

Shao Xuan unwrapped the animal skin scroll and looked at it. The pictures on it were made up of ropes and knots, and there were notes on the current text beside it. The animal skin scroll is still new, and it is only a few years away from the time it was made. It should have been written by Wu from the ancient books of the ancestors when Guize was studying the conclusion.

Guize hugged some straw ropes again, “These were all made before last winter. You can try this one. This is convenient.”

“Thank you, I will make a straw rope and call me when the time comes. I’ll help.” Shao Xuan pulled out a straw rope and looked at it. These straw ropes are relatively smooth and do not have so many burrs. Each of them is about the same length as a baby’s little finger, and the toughness is also very suitable.

Guize sat down and also drew out a straw rope, and then compared each picture on the animal skin roll to tell Shao Xuan how to tie the knot and what kind of knot meant what. Sometimes, knots that look very similar have very different meanings. This is probably the knotting method used to convey hidden information in the past.

Guize taught Shao Xuan some very simple knots, which are the same as those drawn on the animal skin scroll. When all the animal skin scrolls are completed, Shao Xuan can type a sentence with rope.

Because it wasn’t too difficult, Shao Xuan’s memory was also good. After grasping some skills, he asked Guize to take care of her affairs. The drugstore still had a lot of medicine to deal with. He watched it slowly and tried step by step.

Seeing that Shao Xuan’s side was indeed going well, Gui Ze went back and continued to make medicine.The snapping turtle lying on the door choked his heavy body, changed a place, closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun.

As time passed, there were fewer and fewer animal skin scrolls on the left of Shao Xuan’s hand. When he finally tried everything recorded in it, Shao Xuan could also roughly understand some simple conclusions. As for the more complicated things, Wu didn’t give it. Maybe there are not many records about knotting records handed down in the tribe, so Wu can tell him only a little.

There are still a lot of straw ropes that Guize brought over. Shao Xuan thought for a while and observed the line drawing in his mind. Soon, he entered that state again, watching the pair of hands knotting the rope that appeared.

Last time I didn’t understand anything. This time, Shao Xuan still had some foundation. But gradually, Shao Xuan realized that this was different from the conclusions he had just learned. Perhaps, it wanted to express another kind of conclusion. mean.

According to what Wu said, the method of knotting rope was used in various ways in an older time. There are also rope divination, rope knot deeds and so on. Since it is not like a normal memorization, then, can it be divination or other?

Shao Xuan continued to observe the movements of his hands. When he got out of that state, he moved his neck weakly, feeling that his hands were wrong, and looking down, his fingers were all tied up with straw ropes.

I don’t know how it was hit. A straw rope tied all ten fingers in a daze. Shao Xuan wanted to untie it. For a while, he didn’t know where to start, so he could only rub the straw rope from his fingers a little bit.

When all the straw ropes in his hand were swept away, the straw ropes were already wrapped into a ball, and they couldn’t be solved. Shao Xuan tied the straw ropes into a big knot and threw them toward the snapping turtle.

The snapping turtle basking in the sun slowly opened his eyes, saw a bunch of grass rope next to it, opened his mouth and bit into his mouth and chewed slowly.

Shao Xuan slowed down, recalling the movements of the hands he had just seen, and drew a straw rope to continue.

fail!

Failed again!

Fail again!

…

The grass ropes were wound into chaotic grasses that couldn’t be solved, and they were thrown to the snapping turtle. No matter how fast Shao Xuan tied the ropes, it still kept the original slow speed of chewing the grass ropes. Therefore, when Shao Xuan’s speed is getting faster and faster, there are more and more chaotic grasses next to the snapping turtle.

Guize, who was working on medicine, glanced at Shao Xuan from time to time and thought: Isn’t Shao Xuan very smart? How can you tie all your own fingers with a knot?

When Shao Xuan used only ten or so of the straw rope beside him, he stopped.

After wiping the sweat on his face, Shao Xuan walked out of the medicine store and continued tomorrow. He didn’t believe in the things delivered by Wansuiye as a messenger. He could only play a chaotic ball of grass!
