Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty: Feng Clan Secret Book
Sure enough, Fat Wei's plan proved successful in the evening.
At about ten o'clock, Tiger suddenly appeared in the courtyard of Fateful Hall, covered with mud, carrying a package on his back, and said he had brought the green jade slip.
Chen Zhi and the others took the package and opened it, and found that there was indeed a scroll of letters made of green jade strips inside.
However, what was different from what was originally expected was that there was also a letter brought with him.
Chen Zhi picked up the new house and looked at it. There were a few words written on it in Juanxiu's calligraphy, "Clan Chief Chen personally opens the door."
That's Bai Fengxian's handwritten letter~~
This made them a little embarrassed, especially Fat Wei, whose face was red with shame.
It seems that in front of this ancient Bai Fengxian, their little tricks are not good at all.
It is estimated that Hu was discovered by his mother after he returned, but Bai Fengxian did not expose his innocent and foolish son and asked him to bring the jade book back.
Likewise, she also brought back her own handwriting!!
Hu didn't pay attention to these details. He patted the dust on his body, pushed the green jade slip in front of Fat Wei nonchalantly, and then said blankly,
"Have I paid for my meal in full?"
"Well, it's cleared, it's cleared~~" Fat Wei was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.
"Then can I still eat it in the future?" he asked dumbly.
"Uh~~, can you eat it?
Eat whatever you want!!", Fat Wei replied with a flushed face, reacted briefly, and immediately said,
"That..., Tiger! Brother~~
From now on, I'll cover all the money you spend on eating big bones, fat brother.
I don't ask for anything else, just remember me more.
When you go home from now on, tell your mother more good things about me and say that I take good care of you."
"Oh~~", Hu replied with a vague understanding, then turned to look at Chen Zhi,
"Clan leader, do you have anything else to tell me?"
"It's okay~~" Chen Zhi nodded gently to Hu,
"You have been running all day, go and have a rest!
Leave this jade album here, let’s take a closer look!!”
"Yeah!" Hu didn't have any doubts about this matter from beginning to end, nor was he very interested.
Then he patted his head, got into the soil, and slept somewhere.
Chen Zhi and the others first closed the courtyard door, then went to the second floor and carefully opened the letter from Bai Fengxian.
I saw that there was very little content in the letter. There was only a simple paragraph of text on the entire white paper, written in sacred script. It was obviously meant for Chen Zhi to read alone.
The content of that text is:
"The Feng clan has the same surname as Nuwa. They are the most respected among the ancient clans and carry the way of heaven.
In the past, when the phoenix roared in Qishan, it was actually a phoenix weeping blood. It was not auspicious, but a curse~~~"
Chen Zhi read this passage from top to bottom. The content was concise and concise, but it reflected two very important messages.
The first is:
The Feng tribe has the same surname as Nuwa, but the specific connection is not clear, but it is enough to prove that this race is different.
In fact, Chen Zhi had also heard about the issue of Nuwa's surname.
According to legend, Nuwa's surname is actually Feng, and she is inextricably related to the Phoenix. Some people even say that the Phoenix is her bloodline and is responsible for carrying the destiny of heaven.
But because it is so ancient, no one can trace its origins.
But since ancient times, the status of the phoenix has always been very high. The ancients believed that the phoenix was the convergence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Later, together with the dragon, it became a symbol of auspiciousness. It seems that the origin can be tested.
Compared with these, the second information is the most important.
[In the past, the phoenix roared in Qishan, but it was actually a phoenix weeping blood. It was not auspicious, but a curse~~~]
The meaning of this sentence is very clear. It seems that Fengming Qishan, which has been rumored for thousands of years in China, really happened in Xiqi!
But the truth at that time was beautified by later generations.
Fengming Qishan is a very famous historical allusion. Even now, this period of history is still talked about by Xiqi people. It is Xiqi’s proud past~~
The allusion of Fengming Qishan refers to when King Wen of Zhou Dynasty was in Qishan, it is said that a phoenix suddenly flew up and landed there to perch and chirp.
Therefore, the people of Xiqi at that time believed that the phoenix was caused by King Wen's virtue and political talent, and it was a good omen for the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty.
In order to praise this beautiful period of history, later people often used the phoenix to compare King Wen of Zhou, saying that he was a man of both ability and political integrity, as flawless as jade, and that he attracted the phoenix to Qishan.
It is recorded in "Bamboo Chronicles":
"King Wen dreamed that the sun and moon were shining upon him, and he was singing in Qishan Mountain.
The book also says:
‘The Emperor Yin was unruly and brought chaos to the world.
The destiny of the star has been moved, and it cannot be restored for a long time.
The spirit is far away, and the gods blow it away,
Five-star gathering room, Zhaoli world,
It refers to the auspicious omen of Fengming Qishan at that time, which foreshadowed the future of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty who was ignorant and immoral, and the Xiqi Ji family would rule the world.
This statement has been circulating in China for thousands of years, and no one has ever questioned it.
But now Bai Fengxian's words have completely changed the meaning of this legend, making the truth so cold and ruthless, even a little ironic.
It seems that a phoenix really came to Xiqi at that time, landed behind Qishan Mountain, and screamed to break the blood.
But its purpose is not to show auspiciousness, nor to praise King Xiqi, but to scold King Wen of Zhou Jichang.
As for what exactly Ji Chang did that went against the law of heaven and caused the phoenix to come and scold him, I guess the phoenix weeping blood at that time knew it in his heart...
Chen Zhi then put the letter away temporarily, and then opened the green jade slip.
This jade slip is exactly as Hu described it. The whole body is made of green jade, one by one, connected in a row, just like the bamboo slips.
But those jades are crystal clear, very thin, and have no weight in your hand. You can't see them in today's world.
The jade album is fixed with fiber thread in the middle. It seems that the original thread has been damaged several times, and this one was installed later.
Chen Zhi gently unfolded the jade volume, and soon rows of ancient sacred texts engraved on the jade strips appeared in front of him.
This is indeed a secret book describing the Phoenix, and the words are very concise, like a very objective record...
Its description is:
[Phoenix is an auspicious bird.
The male is called the phoenix and the female is called the phoenix. Virtues in the world will appear, and shortcomings will appear. They are the ones who bear the direction of the way of heaven.
Most of the phoenix clan is female, and male phoenixes have been rare in the past generations. There is only one, called the Phoenix Emperor, who rules over the entire clan~~
The Phoenix clan has declined, but the legitimate son is honored.
After the Phoenix Emperor and the Divine Bird, he is the legitimate son and also the Phoenix.
The other concubines are all clan members...
These record-keeping texts are very cumbersome, but they are probably just running text without much meaningful content.
And at the very end, a strange mantra appeared.
These incantations are very strange, and the content is incomprehensible at all, but judging from the arrangement, they should be like the God-killing Curse, an offensive incantation.
And when I scrolled down further, there was a small note next to it:
When he saw these notes, Chen Zhi couldn't help but take a breath of air...
