"Is this a word?" I was very surprised, because the two blood stains could not be connected with the words no matter how I looked at them. Although I have not studied the popular writing styles in China in the past, at least I can tell if it is a word by looking at it.
.
"It's a character." Zhao Yingjun said to me and Duoji: "But it's not a Chinese character, it's ancient Korean."
"Are you sure you read that correctly?" I was even more surprised. A fox left a message when it was about to die. This is already bizarre enough, but we can still explain it on the grounds that the fox is psychic. But if it not only left a message
The word is a foreign word. I can't think of any suitable reason. I can only think that this is nonsense.
"Indeed."
North Korea and Japan are the closest to China and are deeply influenced by China culturally. However, in terms of writing alone, there are great differences between them. Japanese writing borrowed some Chinese characters and some radicals, so it is still today
, for people who don’t understand Japanese at all, you can still see many familiar Chinese characters in Japanese. The difference between Korean and Chinese characters is very big. In the history of Korea, their writing and Chinese characters were completely different, but
In certain historical periods, Chinese characters were also used as universal writing.
Ancient Korean writing is called Shenshi writing by North Korea today, because their research believes that ancient Korean writing was first created by a person named Shenzhi. There is a complete legend about Shenzhi's creation of characters, but this legend is obviously imitating China.
The legend of Cangjie's creation of Chinese characters is just something that the Koreans have never acknowledged. They stubbornly believe that the historical figure Shenshi and even his creation of ancient Korean characters are real. The era in which Shenshi lived was the "Tangun" Korea of the Korean Peninsula.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a special area for stone statues in Tangun's mausoleum. The stone statue at the east end of this stone statue area is Shenshu.
However, this is also the result of the Korean people's own research. Whatever you say and hear, you must not take it seriously.
Ancient Korean writing in the true sense was probably formed during the Weiman Dynasty, that is, at the beginning of the second century BC. Putting aside the meaning of ancient Korean writing, looking at the fonts alone, it is very similar to the writing that was popular in Yanzhao before Qin Shihuang unified China.
The simplified seal script of other countries.
Zhao Yingjun is not a historian, but he is born with a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about any strange things. He usually runs away and seldom contacts Jin Pingmei. About two years ago, he went to Hunan to find Jin Pingmei.
Reminiscing about old times, unfortunately, Jin Pingmei took over his father-in-law's property not long ago, and was so busy that she had no time to play with him. However, Jin Pingmei sent back a batch of goods from a small "office" in Shenyang, which was very big.
Some of them are from the Liao and Jin Dynasties, and there are also some relatively rare foreign goods, which are said to have been brought by Koreans who sneaked into China from there.[
As he was doing everything, Zhao Yingjun became interested in these things from Korea, and it was precisely because of these that he had some understanding of ancient Korean characters.
"Old Korean? What does it mean?"
"I don't know much about ancient Korean, but I happen to know this one." Zhao Yingjun said: "It's the word for death. Do you think this fox is too cruel and wants to curse us before he dies?"
"Isn't this too weird? How can it write an ancient Korean script?"
"I don't know yet. Let's take it off and take a look."
Zhao Yingjun's mouth was very lively, but he was actually very careful. Maybe he was tortured by the fox. He tested it several times until he confirmed that the fox was completely dead, and then he took it off the bayonet. The fox was indeed dead.
, the body has begun to stiffen. I don’t know if I didn’t observe it carefully in the past, or for other reasons. After the fox died, the fur in many places on the body quickly turned white, especially on the neck and head.
The hair is almost completely white.
Duoji was also watching, mainly to see if there was any poison or other weirdness in the fox's body. This was also Duoji's first real contact with the fox. He looked at it for a long time, and then plucked two pieces on the fox's neck.
Crescent old copper.
"It's nothing." Duoji pointed to the fox's body, and then pointed to two pieces of old crescent copper: "This is the most amazing thing."
"Get it down and take a look."
We had always thought that the two pieces of old copper seemed to be worn around the fox's neck, but looking at it this way, it was not the case. The two pieces of crescent old copper were hung on a semicircular collar, and the entire collar had grown into the fox's skin.
Went there. After Zhao Yingjun took off the collar with great effort, we discovered at a glance that there were a group of indentations on each of the two pieces of old crescent copper, which looked like ancient Korean characters. But Zhao Yingjun only had those two brushes.
I don't understand the ancient Korean characters on the old copper at all.
"Is this something from ancient Korea?"
I don’t know much about Korean culture, but when it comes to whether there were bronzes in ancient Korea, the answer is yes. Not to mention whether the aborigines of the Korean Peninsula could develop bronze smelting technology, Jizi Korea moved from the Central Plains to the peninsula.
At that time, the mainland was at the peak of its bronze culture.
"Both pieces are very strange, especially this one." Duoji picked up one of the old crescent copper pieces and said, "There is something strange in it."
"have what?"
Duoji's expressive ability was limited. After gesticulating for a long time, he still couldn't understand what he was saying. Finally, he became anxious and took out a small bottle made of bones after removing the marrow. He said to me: "See for yourself.
Take a look."[
"You want to play with me again?" I immediately became alert. The last time I was tricked by Duoji, I almost made a fool of myself.
"Don't think that I am so bad. How could you see it without this?"
In order to be able to fully see the weirdness of Crescent Old Copper, I also risked my life. There was only the last bit of viscous liquid left in the bottle, which smelled slightly. When I applied it to my eyes, Zhao Yingjun came over to grab it, but the bottle
empty.
I stared at the old crescent copper. In the blink of an eye, my eyes were completely obscured by the liquid. I seemed to see a closed and very narrow space. There were two shadows in the space, standing there straight.
at every turn.
When I saw these two shadows, my pupils shrank immediately. These two are obviously shadow creatures, but they are different from ordinary shadow creatures. This difference is not only that they are tall and can stand.
They are very straight, and more importantly, their eyes have wisdom and sensitivity that ordinary shadows do not have.
"The soul boy? The soul boy in the shadow?" I shook my head, and the shadows in front of me became blurry. I could feel that they seemed to be watching me expressionlessly.
I hesitated for a moment, then turned to observe another piece of old crescent copper. There were also two figures in it, but they were not shadow creatures, but humans. They were also very strange. I didn't know if my observation was wrong or unclear.
But no matter how I looked at them, I felt that they were two disabled people, one was blind and the other had no arms. I could feel the ancient atmosphere from their costumes, but I couldn't tell exactly when they were from.
I think that although this trip to Daxinganling has suffered a lot before it is over, it is still worth it. Just two pieces of old crescent copper can detect some clues. I guess that Li Fusheng must have been to the Northeast a few years ago.
Even further afield, the purpose of his coming here is unknown, but it can be judged that he may have hunted and killed the soul children among the shadow creatures.
The soul boy is a creature beyond imagination. It is the leader of a group and the bearer of the history of this group and even longer. Master Kuang, also known as Kuang Haige, has tried to capture the soul boy many times, but he has not succeeded.
Obviously, after capturing the soul boy, you can get a lot of secrets. It may be the secrets of the shadow creature group, or it may be the secrets from the underground.
Li Fusheng obviously did this.
Suddenly, I regretted letting Li Fusheng go. Although I knew when I arrested him before, this man must know a lot of things, I didn't expect that he knew more than I imagined. If he really
He has hunted and killed soul boys, and more than one soul boy, so what kind of secrets did he get from the soul boys?
It's a pity, it's a pity that Li Fusheng left. However, the ultimate secret behind this incident is not so easy to reveal. Otherwise, Li Fusheng would have succeeded a long time ago. He has been searching tirelessly for so many years.
, just because things haven’t been completely done yet.
"Duoji, what's the mystery of these two pieces of crescent copper?" Zhao Yingjun is very keen on this and feels that it is a sharp weapon: "It would be great if I could master it. If I fall in love with any eldest daughter, she will marry in tears in a blink of an eye.
you."
Duoji said that two pieces of crescent copper contained resentful spirits, and had been specially blessed. The person who blessed the crescent copper had extraordinary skills, and the continuity of this blessing lasted for thousands of years. If this thing is in the hands of the person who originally blessed it
Here, the consequences are quite terrible, and it is definitely not as easy as dealing with this fox. The two pieces of crescent copper cannot collide, otherwise, the clanking sound produced will affect the people around you at any time, including us.
"Can't we just erase the original blessing?"
"No." Duoji shook his head and said no. He explained that the reason for the blessing of the Crescent Moon Copper is the same as the reason for the curse in my body. He can force the things out, but doing so will also cause me to be cursed.
Death, in the same way, Duoji can find a way to erase the original blessing, but if he does that, the two pieces of crescent copper will be completely turned into scrap copper and iron, and will be of no use.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Yingjun felt regretful. He slowly dragged the fox's body to a dry place nearby, and then put a few pieces of solid fuel. This kind of evil thing would make people angry even if only the body was left.
If you feel unsafe, burning it down is the best option.
I looked at the rumbling water and wondered whether this strange fox knew that we were going to go deeper into the broken valley? Is the word "death" it left behind a threat? Or a provocation? Or something else?
