Chapter 51 Chapter 22 Banquan Xian

Xianquan turned to look at me in surprise, and asked puzzledly, "I'm Xianquan, don't you know me?" Xinhong and Teacher Ye also looked back at us curiously, while I stared fixedly at Xianquan and asked, "Xianquan, why are you covered with scales?" After I finished asking, I felt a chill in my heart.When I grabbed Xianquan's clothes just now, I inadvertently saw many seven-color scales on his body.Those scales are exactly the same as the ones I picked up earlier, no wonder Xianquan knocked me out, and then took all the scales away, it turned out that he is the owner of these scales.Just why are there so many scales on a human body?

"You read that right, I don't have the scales on my body like you said." Xianquan answered me calmly, and then he untied his clothes. Except for a few burn marks, the rest of his body was smooth, with no scales at all. The scales I see. "How is it possible, I just saw it!" I yelled in surprise. "Okay, Jinwei, let's go there quickly, and we can talk about these things after we get out of here." Xinhong said. The scales on Xianquan's body had already disappeared, and what I said was useless, so I had to give up.I followed behind Xianquan suspiciously, thinking in my heart why the scales on his body disappeared without a trace in just a while, it was obvious that his body was full of scales just now!We hurriedly stepped onto the stone bridge, and the sea toads were still coming up from the bottom of the mountain, and there were no monsters down the mountain.Before that, Ao Yin refused to go down the mountain, and the body of the spooky queen suddenly disappeared at the bottom of the mountain for no reason. Now, the sea toad desperately fled from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It seems that there is indeed something more powerful at the bottom of the mountain. No wonder Ye The teacher has been refusing to walk down the mountain.Since Mr. Ye knew about this matter but didn't say it, it seems that he really concealed many things from us on purpose. Could it be that he really pushed Uncle Zou down the mountain here?

When we walked across the stone bridge, there was still a strange smell rushing up from the bottom of the mountain, and there were more and more meteor-like lights. I don’t know if I was too nervous or too hot, and there were already a lot on my head. sweat.The stone statue of Nuwa on the fifth peak is holding a jade box, which is smaller than the previous boxes.This kind of design reminds me of some things I saw when I was working in the museum, but maybe it's just a coincidence, and I don't know if I'm right or not.To be sure of your own thoughts, you still have to read all the stone statues.There is nothing abnormal on the fifth peak, only the sea toad will jump out suddenly, which startles me from time to time.There are so many sea toads in this place. If these sea toads are not exterminated, it may have a great bad impact on this area.That's how it ended in Australia back then. Fortunately, the stone bridge has been disconnected, and the sea toad can't get out for the time being.

"Jin Wei, look at these sea toads, Ao Yin seems to be fleeing for their lives, isn't it often said in ancient times that animals like snakes and rats flee and relocate, is it either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?" Xinhong asked worriedly. "You believe this too?" I found Xinhong's words very new, and he never believed this kind of thing usually. "This is based on science. I remember that there was a text in the primary school textbook: "Hai Libu", which said that natural disasters are coming and ants move." Xinhong said solemnly, "I always feel that something is going to happen here soon. gone."

"What's the matter, the big thing now is to get the colorful stone as soon as possible, and then find a place to escape immediately." I said half-jokingly. Mr. Ye is also very old, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, so he asked us to rest first, and we will go there after a while.My doubts about Mr. Ye are growing. He came here three years ago, and Uncle Zou also came here three years ago. Why did Uncle Zou die here, but Mr. Ye was safe and sound, and Mr. Zou came here again three years later? Came back to this place.I looked at Teacher Ye carefully, his expression was a little strange, and I couldn't tell what was going on.After Xianquan sat down, he kept showing a very disturbed expression. This expression was exactly the same when he suddenly ran down last time.But now that the stone bridge is broken, I see where he can run now.

"Ms. Ye, why do you always say that Nuwa is Chang'e?" Xinhong asked. "Anyway, I'm resting now, so I'll tell you now." Teacher Ye explained solemnly. Ancient myths often deified the same person into several gods.Nu Wa is actually Chang'e, or Chang Xi.In Sichuan, there are many ruins of ancient tombs, with murals of Nuwa flying to the moon, or holding the moon in her hand.Guyin, also known as Shangguyin, refers to the Chinese phonetic system of the Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties.From the perspective of ancient pronunciation, the ancient rhyme of "呙" from which Nuwa's Wa came from the song department, and it is the same as "I" and "e", and the rhymes of "wa" and "e" are reversed. It is pronounced as Changxi, or Chang'e. Teacher Ye also explained that there have been many interpretations of Nuwa as Chang'e throughout the history. In fact, there is another person who is opposite to Changxi, and that person is called Xihe. This person was called He is called the Sun God, Teacher Ye told us that maybe we will encounter things related to him in the future, but he still refuses to tell me about the secret of Chang'e flying to the moon."

I know that Mr. Ye doesn't want to finish talking, so I don't want to ask any more, but Xinhong continued to ask: "Then you said on the first peak, 'someone fell from here', were you there at that time?" ?” When Mr. Ye heard Xinhong asking him this way, his expression was startled and frightened, and he faltered and couldn't say a word.I was also shocked and scared. Could it be that Teacher Ye really pushed Uncle Zou down the mountain for some purpose?Mr. Ye's explanation here is very vague, and he definitely has a lot of things that he hasn't told us.At this time, Xianquan's expression changed from uneasy to painful. Could it be that it's too hot here and he is in such pain?It's summer, but the temperature here seems to be getting higher and higher, and I feel hot and thirsty myself.Xianquan sat nervously on the ground, clenched his hands tightly, as if he was afraid of something.

"Don't be afraid of what you will see later!" Xianquan stared at us and said in a pleading tone. "Is there something uncomfortable about you? You look uncomfortable." Xinhong asked. Before Xianquan could answer, he was already rolling on the ground in pain.Xianquan rolled on the ground for a while, and finally stopped.There is no painful expression on his face, but our faces are full of surprised expressions, because now Xianquan's whole body is covered with seven-color scales!As expected, I didn't look at the eye just now. Xinhong and Teacher Ye stared at Xianquan more surprised than I did. Everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

"You don't have to be surprised. Let me tell you now that I am actually a descendant of Quanxian." Xianquan spoke first, and the atmosphere was no longer as stiff as before. "Quanxian? You mean the branch of the Shui tribe in ancient times, the Quanxian tribe!" I said in disbelief. "That's right, I'm from the Quanxian clan. I knocked you out before just to get back the scales. I didn't want you to spread the word, so I couldn't do it. Don't blame me." Xianquan pleaded. "No wonder you said your name was Xianquan, but it turned out to be Quanxian the other way around! I wonder why this name is so familiar yet so strange."

I remember seeing descriptions of Quanxian in many ancient books when I was in college. They were Shui tribe, that is, sharks, but this Shui tribe is not the Shui tribe in China today. "Shan Hai Jing·Hainei Nan Jing": Bolu Country, Lier Country, Diaoti Country, Beiqu Country, and Yushuinan.The meaning here is: from the ear, the ear is separated from the ear so that it hangs down as a decoration, that is, Dan'er. In Zhuyahaizhu, the inscription is carved, the tattoo is nirvana, and the body of the painting is scales, that is, the shark.Volume 12 of Jin Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji": Outside the South China Sea, there are sharks, who live in the water like fish, do not waste weaving, and can produce pearls when their eyes cry. "And Liang Renfang's "Shu Yi Ji" in the Southern Dynasty is also recorded." Yuren, that is, Quan Xianye, also known as Quan Ke.There is jiao gauze produced in the South China Sea, which was woven first by Quan Qian. A famous dragon gauze is worth more than a hundred gold. "One of the most important things is that Quan Xian and they have a special ability: as long as they are not hostile to each other, no matter how powerful the monsters are, they can't think of harming them, and they can't even distrust them. No wonder the black head Wild boar, sprites, Aoyin, and sea toads didn't hurt Xianquan, and they are as good as Xianquan. There are many legends about Quanxian in ancient times, but why did Quanxian appear in Shanxi?"

"However... Although I have never met Quan Xian, why is the Quan Xian described in the folklore all the time different from yours? They seem to be able to freely control the characteristics of the fish, why can't you?" Xinhong asked. . "That's because I'm a half-spring! My mother is a spring, and my father is a human being! That's why I only have half the characteristics of a spring, and when the temperature is high, I must often soak in water, otherwise I can't control the changes in my body. It is also because I am Banquanxian that I don't have the fish body of Quanxian, but my body will be covered with scales. Before I ran away suddenly because the time was up and I had to soak Get into the water." Xianquan struggled to stand up. "What about your parents?" I asked quietly, because I figured his answer would be the last one I wanted to hear. "They... you should stop asking these questions, hurry up and get the five-colored stones you want." Xianquan said. "Wait a minute, so the real clay sculpture on the ground is your ancestor? He seems to be the ancestor of Banquan?" Xinhong asked. "Well, he is the same as me. He is Xianquan Banquan, and he is from the Western Han Dynasty." When Xianquan said these things, his eyes and tone were sad and angry, as if he was recalling something painful. "Then why do you live in the cave instead of living with the villagers?" Xinhong asked cautiously. "They're not from Xishui Village! They're beasts!" Xianquan suddenly said angrily, and then realized his gaffe, and said softly, "They're not from Xishui Village at all, never! I will discuss this matter in the future Tell me then, don’t ask these questions for now, I can tell you things that you don’t even know about Chang’e you mentioned.” "Your name is Teacher Ye. Jinwei told me that you have been to Sanxingdui before, right?" Xianquan asked. Teacher Ye nodded and said, "That's right, I just came back from there." "Then you should know about the seashells in Sanxingdui, right?" Xianquan said, "Let's talk about your doubts about it first." Teacher Ye thought for a while and said: "In addition to the gold rod and bronze statue unearthed in Sanxingdui, there are also some statues of marine life. The most important thing is that a large number of seashells were unearthed, which is the largest number unearthed in archaeology. Sanxingdui is located in the inland of Asia. The Cuban Shuhai in the basin has disappeared for more than 100 million years, and those seashells cannot be left behind by the Cuban Shuhai. And those seashells are a kind of ringed shellfish, which are not produced in rivers, lakes and offshore, and were introduced from the northern part of the Indian Ocean. But does this have anything to do with what you said?" "Those marine characteristics of Sanxingdui were brought by our Quan ancestors!" Xianquan said solemnly, as if he had changed into a different person, "Our ancestors came to Sichuan from the far sea, and then came here with Chang'e for unknown reasons. , so in ancient times, not only the Nuwa clan moved far away, but also our Quanxian clan!" "Then why are you with people from the Nuwa tribe, and why did you follow them here?" Xinhong asked. "This is what our mother told me. I was young at that time, and it happened a long time ago. I just seem to remember that she said that besides Chang'e who moved people far away, there was also a person named Xihe who moved far away. Overseas, it ended up in the East China Sea or the South China Sea, and I don’t know why they moved far away.” "Isn't Chang'e flying to the moon?" I asked puzzled. "Did you forget that I replied to your email a few days ago? I said that I found some interesting things in the book "In Lingxian". Historical facts!" Teacher Ye said mysteriously. Teacher Ye’s reminder pulled me back to the Tianshan Temple. I remember Xu Fu said on the bamboo slips that Qin Shihuang sent him to the East China Sea to find something. Sending people to hide things in the South China Sea, is there any connection and secret in it?
