[Qin Shi Mingyue] Ghost Valley Wordless Heavenly Book Thirteen Chapters

The Shang kings of the past dynasties selected guards, and the candidates were all ten-year-old boys, who trained intensively, and selected the best among them to become guards at the age of 15.

The three thousand guards received by Prince Shang were selected in this way;

They are both civil and military, talented, and will never betray,

At the age of 35, they will leave the guard army, or go to the local officials, or stay in the capital as a close minister of the Shang king, or go to the frontier to lead the army, or have other uses.

Among the [-] elites who expedition to Dongyi, half of the [generals] were [guards of the King of Shang].However, among the [Wangdu Chaoge Defenders] who had defected before the battle, there was no [general] who had served as the guard of the Shang King. There is no doubt that among the [Wangdu Chaoge Defenders], those loyal to the Shang King The generals and soldiers were all killed.

Inside Jiufeng Mountain.

In the [boat] in the middle of the [bottom of the lake] paved with blue stones, Kita looked up through the porthole and looked up at the dark clouds in the sky above the [lake surface] that were getting thicker and thicker, feeling a strong uneasiness in his heart , In the ear, there are the curious discussions of the subordinates sitting together about this "broken ship".

……

The road leading to the bottom of the lake, besides the road connected to the king’s bedroom in [Deer Terrace] and [Wang Palace], actually, there is another road. The starting point is in the field of [Chaoge]. A few years ago, the chief guard Beidi once followed King Shang to avoid other people, and came to this [bottom of the lake] from the [secret passage] in the field of [Chaoge]. At that time, there were only King Shang and Beidi.

At that time, the king of Shang was in a good mood and made fun of Beidi: "You have been with Gu since you were 15 years old. In the past 30 years, what big scenes have you not experienced? It's just a lake without water and a boat that can fly into the sky. , is it worth your surprise?"

……

"Father, father...father?"

"Ok?"

Bei Yi woke up from the memories, and patted his son Bei Chen on the shoulder, signaling that he was fine.

The king of Shang ordered [keep the classics, keep yourself, go to the old capital, and look for Qingyan], and when keeping yourself and the classics conflicted, Beichen believed that his remaining 36 subordinates would definitely take the preservation of the classics as their priority. First, but...

Kita's eyes swept across the young faces,

Among the three thousand guards of the King of Shang, now only Beidi himself and these 36 young people are left:

The youngest son Beichen, Wang Xu and Li Er are all only 16 years old.

Ushi and six others: 19 and [-] years old,

Among the remaining 26 subordinates, the oldest one is only 29 years old...

All of these 36 subordinates were injured, and more than half of them were seriously injured.

Among the several subordinates who are doomed to be disabled for life, the youngest is only one!

Feeling more and more uneasy, the 53-year-old Bei Ting clenched his fists. If it really came to a choice, would he keep the children he had watched grow up and taught himself, or keep the classics?

〖Your Majesty, my subject, you are guilty. 〗Beitu silently pleaded guilty to King Shang's spirit in heaven, but his expression became more determined, and he ordered his subordinates: "Put down all the classics."

Before, the chief guard did not give orders, and all the guards carried the wrapped books on their backs. Since the chief guard ordered the books to be put down temporarily, everyone untied the books and put them neatly together.

"Now that you've seen how this ship was opened, none of you should say it's a 'broken ship', right?"

After glancing at the lowered heads of his subordinates, Bei Ting waved his hands: "If I was young and didn't know the inside story, I'm afraid I would be as angry as you."

The 36 Shang king's guards raised their heads one after another.

Bei Yu said again: "We have been walking all the way, and everything we have seen, including this [ship], is a trivial matter that costs a lot, but the construction of them was completed by [Mr. Qingyan] alone..."

Bei Chen immediately interjected and asked: "One person?! Mr. Qingyan? It is the Qingyan that the king ordered us to go to [the old capital] to look for? Who is he? How could he..."

Before Bei Chen finished speaking, he was stopped by his father Bei Chen with a stern look.Bei Chen shrank his neck and shut up immediately.

Bei Yu continued: "Over the years, the king has seen Mr. Qingyan several times, and I have the honor to accompany him. Speaking of this Mr. Qingyan, although he is not well-known in [the world], he is a legend. He has lived for over 700 years."

Glancing at the young subordinates in front of them with rounded eyes, mouths opened wide, and "this is impossible" written on their faces, Bei Tie smiled and said, "Why, don't you believe me? The king himself told me: When Tai-zu was a teenager, by chance, he rescued Mr. Qingyan who was in distress. Many years later, Tai-zu was imprisoned in a water prison, and it was Mr. Qingyan who tried to rescue him in order to repay Tai-zu's kindness."

Pointing to the neatly stacked silk books and books, Kita continued:

"These [Silk Books] look brand new, but in fact, they are very old. They were written many years before [Xia] before our [Da Shang], and some of them came from [Xia]'s collection. The other part is the classics collected by Mr. Qingyan, Mr. Qingyan and Tai-zu agreed [From the date of agreement, the classics collected by Qingyan can be borrowed by the royal family of Dashang for 600 years]."

"Borrow... 600 years...?" Bei Chen couldn't help but interjected again.

This time, Bei Ting did not blame his son for interrupting, but sighed sadly: "If you calculate the time, the agreed date to return the book is not far away."

〖600 years, from the Tai-zu to the king...〗Li Er pinched his fingers and counted 〖31 kings in total, 550 years. 〗A thought flashed through Li Er's mind, but he didn't say it out.

But Wang Xu stared at Beichen and asked: "My lord, you just said that Mr. Qingyan is more than 700 years old. -Zu Shi, are you already very proficient in divination?"

A strange color flashed in Bei Yi's eyes, while Li Er suddenly looked up at Wang Xu!

Both Li Er and Bei Yi immediately understood Wang Xu's implication: "Mr. Qingyan calculated that Xia died and Shang prospered more than 600 years ago, and the number of Da Shang Qi will not exceed 600 years!"

Wang Xu turned his head and stopped staring directly at the head of the guard, Bei Di, because Bei Di's eyes had already proved that Wang Xu was right.

As for Bei Yi, he looked at Li Er who was still staring at Wang Xu with a shocked expression on his face, and realized that Li Er was not the only one who understood Wang Xu's voice, but also Li Er.

Indeed, Li Er also guessed Mr. Qingyan's divination more than 600 years ago, but Li Er did not expect that Wang Xu could also guess it.

Kita retracted his gaze, followed his previous train of thought, and continued:

"Do you understand? Mr. Qingyan is a person who practiced in seclusion, and he has no interest in "dynasty change", and he doesn't care about "making contributions, becoming famous all over the world, being rich and prosperous". Mr. Qingyan just wants to repay Tai-zu's favor [Grace of Saving Life], not only saved the first time, but also lent the precious classics for 600 years. "

Bei Ting looked around at his subordinates: "I [Da Shang] has been prosperous for hundreds of years, not only because of [ancestors] and [ancestors], but also because of Mr. Qingyan's virtue of lending classics, which was obtained from [Xia] That part of the classics has also been interpreted with the help of Mr. Qingyan."

Speaking of this, Bei Ting paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject: "Before I got on the boat, I said that if you want to open this boat, the [finger pull] and [hand formula] bestowed by the king are indispensable, and to drive this boat It’s the same, I’m teaching you this set of one-handed tactics now, look carefully, each of you must learn it.”

The 36 young guards of King Shang were both surprised and itchy, and still couldn't believe it.

"Father, we can learn too? Really?"

It was still Bei Chen who took the lead in questioning, who made Bei Chen the youngest son of the head of the guard, Bei Di.

As for Wang Xu and Li Er, the two sharp-minded fellows, they all shrank back like turtles after they emerged from the limelight just now.

Bei Yi didn't talk nonsense, he directly demonstrated this set of [hand formula] that can be used with one hand, and explained the essentials of cooperating [hand formula] and [finger pull], everyone can become the personal guard of the king of Shang, and no one is an idiot , [Hand formula] Although complicated, everyone learned it quickly.

"After we leave the bottom of the lake in the boat, each of you will practice sailing."

With that said, Kita got up and walked to the forecastle, followed closely by 36 subordinates, intending to enter the wheelhouse, all wanting to see how the ship is driven.

Bei Ting stopped, raised his eyebrows, and said: "I just said, "This ship is driven by [mind], and only people with [finger puller] can enter the pilot cab. Without this finger puller, you cannot enter the pilot cab." , don't you all wear ears? "

……

Jiufeng Mountain is a lonely mountain located in the depths of the [Yunmeng Mountain Range] in the west of Chaoge, the capital of the Great Shang Dynasty. It is named [Jiufeng Mountain] because of its nine peaks. .

Around [Jiufeng Mountain], the terrain is flat and the woods are dense and vast. It blocks all people who intend to approach [Jiufeng Mountain] like a maze, making [Jiufeng Mountain] very mysterious in the eyes of the world, so no one knows the nine peaks on [Jiufeng Mountain] Surrounded by the peaks is a large [Shanding Lake].

The bottom of the dry lake where the [boat] that Beidou and his 36 subordinates are riding is just under the water of the Dashanding Lake in [Jiufeng Mountain].

The distance between the [lake water] and the [lake bottom] is 36 feet, and the boat on which the escort of Prince Shang and his 57 subordinates is [-] feet high is located in the center of the [lake bottom] -Location——This location has a special meaning. The invisible barrier that separates the [lake water] from the [lake bottom] comes from this [boat].

On the second floor of the forecastle, the captain of the guard, Kita, was trying to control the [ship] to move.

A boat needs oars to move in the water to push the hull forward, but this boat does not need oars. Its power comes from the large [array] carved inside the hull,

Use [array] to absorb the aura of heaven and earth and store it in the [array heart] in the [ship]. When the true energy in Beidi's body passes through the King of Shang's fingers and connects with the [array] depicted inside the hull, Beidi can use his mind to mobilize The aura stored in the [array heart] makes this aura flow in the [array] depicted inside the hull, and the entire [ship] can drive according to Beidou's ideas.

Once Beiyi takes off the King of Shang Finger, he will immediately lose control of the [ship], that is, no matter who it is, as long as he has cultivated his internal strength to a certain level, wears the King of Shang Finger, and knows the meaning and meaning of the finger. With that one-hand formula, you can control the ship, but if you remove the finger, you will lose control of the [ship].

……

Regardless of their injuries, the 36 guards of the king of Shang huddled together under the stairs leading to the second floor from the first floor of the [forecastle], looking up at the second floor eagerly,

In fact, there is nothing to see except the stairs...

Although Beichen said that he could not enter [the second floor of the forecastle] without the King of Shang's finger, but some people did not believe in evil, so Wushi squeezed in front of the crowd and stepped up the stairs...it's okay!

Wu Shi was overjoyed, and everyone did not stop him.

So Wu Shi went upstairs quickly, but before he could take the third step, he suddenly fell down!

Everyone hurriedly picked him up, helped him up, and waited for Wu Shi to "Ouch, Ouch" and stood up in pain. They helped him check, and found no new injuries from the fall, but the old ones were all cracked.

Wu Shi grinned in pain from the wound opening: "There is something invisible standing in front of me, pushing me down..."

[Second floor of the forecastle] There was a sneer from Kita on the upload: "It deserves it!"

The 36 young guards of Shang Wang, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to ignore Beidi's warning, they all returned to the middle of the ship building honestly, waiting for the boat to sail.

3. Posthumous title: The text of posthumous evaluation began in Zhou Dynasty. One said that Zhou Gongdan made posthumous posthumous titles.

4. Silk script: According to Baidu Encyclopedia: Modern archaeology traces the origin of silk script, which can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period.

However, the author feels that "dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period" means that the silk scripts of the Spring and Autumn Period have been unearthed, and it does not mean that there must be no silk scripts in the Shang Dynasty.

The oracle bone inscriptions already have the word [丹], so-called silk, everyone knows that it is a white top-grade silk fabric, and, in the Shang Dynasty, there was already a [calligraphy brush character]. Brush calligraphy], [Changping Science Popularization Network, the earliest origin of brush], [360doc, the development of Chinese silk script]

5. Jiufeng Mountain: This mountain is fabricated in this article. There should be no such mountain in reality. If there is... it is a pure coincidence.
