A small and exquisite copper button seal lay quietly in Xun Shaoyu's hand.
This was found on the Taoist's chest and wrapped in a gold silk purse. It looks very inconspicuous. But only after touching it with your own hands can you feel the 'weight' in it.
"This is……"
In a trance, a scroll slowly unfolded between the eyelids.
There are towering and majestic sacred mountains, misty protrusions, exquisite mountains, majestic and majestic.
The five sacred mountains, each according to their position, stand majestically in the void painting. There are wisps of misty aura floating up and down, as if they are one with the five sacred mountains.
He overlooked all these changes and was moved by them.
What a majestic and majestic sight this is!
Dwelling in thousands of mountains, the sun and moon are bright, looking at thousands of rivers, and the sky is clear.
A wisp of bright light fell suddenly, and a simple stone mirror was surrounded by thousands of clouds.
This round of stone mirrors illuminates the picture of nothingness for a moment.
It's like the bright moon in the sky, so bright and clear that people can't bear to blaspheme it.
It's just this bright moon, but it seems to be carrying infinite weight, slowly pressing on the void scroll.
Click! Click! Click!
However, this bright mirror hangs high like the full moon on this scroll.
But the silence of the void gradually overflowed, and the overwhelming fragmentation appeared. The deep darkness slowly opened before his eyes.
"ah……"
Xun Shaoyu's consciousness suddenly awoke, and everything in front of him returned to darkness and depth.
But he didn't know when he started, he was already sweating profusely, and his fingers pinched unconsciously.
Suddenly, I felt a touch of softness when my fingers touched it.
"How could..." Xun Shaoyu watched helplessly as the copper button seal on his hand was unconsciously crushed like flour.
A strange feeling suddenly came over his heart, as if he was confident about everything and everyone at this moment, and he was even-keeled, which made him feel a little panicked.
This is another perspective, a sense of self, almost like ‘God’.
This wonderful feeling is something that others can only dream of.
But Xun Shaoyu, who was suspicious by nature, suddenly had a doubt about this.
"You can't stay here for long!"
His mind was calm, and it was not the time to get to the bottom of things yet. He looked at Zhou Za calmly.
Immediately, he searched around to see if there were any traces left behind.
After the traces disappeared one by one, he searched carefully on the bed again.
The origin of this man was unknown, and he was carrying such a valuable treasure, so he was hunted down and hanged by the court.
Such a character must be extremely difficult to deal with, and he will also have an extraordinary 'legacy'.
The treasure that can attract the attention of the stone mirror is extraordinary. In this world, it must be among the top treasures, and the number is very few.
Based on the level of essence of heaven and earth in this world, even if there is a treasure more mysterious than this copper button seal, it should definitely not exceed the number of five fingers. Anyone who has the opportunity to come into contact with it must be one of the best in heaven and earth.
big shot.
Xun Shaoyu was quite interested in the 'legacy' of such figures.
He searched the Taoist's body again, not missing a trace, but found nothing.
It was only during the inspection that I discovered that this man had suffered serious trauma. The wound had even festered due to the lack of effective treatment for a long time.
"No wonder it's so easy to get!"
Xun Shaoyu whispered to himself.
The weakness due to serious injuries, the drug with sufficient weight, the surprise, and the ruthlessness and effectiveness. Together, these are the key to success.
"kindness?"
Xun Shaoyu glanced at it and saw a roll of cloth, vaguely stuffed between the bed and the wooden pillow.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out the cloth. At first glance, it was a small piece of tadpole writing.
It's just that Xun Shaoyu, a farmer's boy, is not literate, can't read big characters, and can't see anything, so he can only roll it up hastily and stuff it in his waist for later.
The worlds of the heavens and the cultural teachings may be similar by analogy. But words and the like are the same appearance of one world. Xun Shaoyu went through three generations of baptism, but he did not see that world that can be used in all heavens.
Maybe in the future, we will meet someone who can reach the heavens, but now, it is really impossible.
I checked again and found nothing.
He tore off a piece of sleeve cloth from the Taoist's robe, and calmly put it in front of him to block the splash of blood.
With a sudden force, he pulled out the stone dagger, and blood spattered everywhere, like blood mist.
Xun Shaoyu left the bloodstained sleeve cloth still on the ground.
He took out the flint and soon lit the sleeve on fire.
"Murder and arson, how wonderful! How wonderful!"
At this moment, his eyes were cold, like a butcher's, looking at everything in front of him.
As the saying goes, murder and arson are punished.
This is a big fallacy!
In ancient times, productivity was limited, so residential buildings could not all be made of bricks and tiles.
On the contrary, wooden houses and even thatched houses account for the vast majority.
These are made of wood and grass, are flammable and difficult to put out. Often when a fire occurs, a piece of residential house is turned into carbon soil and burned to a white ground, causing great losses.
Therefore, since ancient times, the government has attached great importance to fire. There is a method of "be careful not to dare to catch fire. If there is a fire, cut off the end of it; if there is a fire, it will cause chaos and the car will be broken; if there are five people who can't get it, cut it; if you get it, get rid of it."
It is clearly stipulated that the first culprit who causes a fire shall be beheaded; those who deliberately set a fire will be punished with the crime of conspiracy and be split into pieces; those who are accomplices of the arsonist and fail to report the information shall also be sentenced to death; only those who actively report the fire will be spared death.
From this point of view, we can see that the government has a "zero tolerance" attitude towards fires.
On the same level as rebellion and rebellion, do you still want to recruit peace?
If you don't pursue it, there will be no way to the sky and no way to the earth, even if the government is weak.
"But... nothing can be compared to a fire. It burns cleanly and leaves no trace!"
Xun Shaoyu put the clean stone dagger into his sleeve, kept the burned sleeve cloth on the bed, and climbed out of the cellar along the short ladder.
Cover the cellar with thick wooden boards and re-cover it.
Then he raised his head and looked at the hut of the six elders. With his eyes flashing, he murmured: "The last hidden danger..."
He touched the stone dagger in his arms and gritted his teeth: "That's all..."
…………
The red light reaches the sky!
The fire spreads!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"The water has escaped! The water has escaped!"
A young man looked frightened, banging the gong hard and shouting loudly.
This shout seemed to make the small Shanghe Village completely boil.
"ah……"
The woman screamed in terror, and the villagers followed one after another.
Many men ran out to put out the fire without even putting on their shirts.
At this time of year, drought and famine have made it difficult for farmers to survive.
Now if there is another sudden disaster, people say that fire and water have no mercy. If this worthless possessions are all reduced to ashes.
How should these villagers, who have nothing, live?
"Quick! Quick!"
"It's gone..."
Boom! Boom! Boom! After going out, many men came over carrying several buckets of sand.
Fire prevention and fire fighting have been around since ancient times!
In normal seasons, people have the habit of storing water in front of their homes. A household stores several large tanks of water and places them in front of the door to prevent fires from getting out of control.
However, during drought, water is precious!
How can we prevent fires that may come when we don’t know when, while ignoring people’s daily needs?
Therefore, ordinary people accumulate piles of sand and use sand to extinguish it.
"You brat... hurry up and put out the fire..."
Father Fang took several young boys at home, each carrying a wooden bucket, and shouted anxiously.
Fang Er, Fang Four, and Fang Five, the three and a half boys, obediently picked up the bucket. The weight of this bucket of sand was really heavy. The oldest one, Fang Er, who was already 12 this year, was panting.
It was just a round trip.
Xun Shaoyu's eyelids were lowered, his upper body was naked, and he looked at the six old homes that were burning fiercely, with a gloomy and uncertain expression.
The short top was stained with blood and was no longer suitable for wearing in public.
So Xun Shaoyu, neatly and neatly, threw his only shirt into the fire, and it was all over.
Anyway, in this chaotic situation, Xun Shaoyu had a hundred reasons to explain the fact that he lost his shirt afterwards.
only……
Xun Shaoyu glanced secretly at the man who was banging the gong.
It was this man who was the first to discover that Liu Lao's home was leaking water.
It was also the reason why Liu Lao's life should not be cut off. When the fire first broke out, the man discovered him and carried him out of the hut, only to save his life.
This is because Xun Shaoyu did not have the intention to kill.
Otherwise, if one blow of the knife kills the six elders immediately, why go to the trouble of burning down the hut.
However, the predecessor, Fang Jiu, could be regarded as receiving favors from the six elders. These six elders were often kind to others in the village. Feeling a trace of friendship, Xun Shaoyu did not do anything wrong.
But in order to prevent the Taoist's body from being discovered by the Six Elders and causing unnecessary trouble, he still burned such a fire.
When a fire occurs, it's not just the houses of the villagers that can be burned down. There will also be many, many more that disappear together...
Six old men, it’s not their fate to be cut off!
"You bastard...don't put out the fire yet!"
Fang's father was sweating profusely and running back and forth carrying a bucket of sand. He looked at Fang Jiu in a daze, worried and unhappy.
You know, fire is no small matter!
Whenever there was a disaster, the court would not cut off hundreds or even thousands of heads.
If dozens of heads are lost by chance, this can be regarded as the benevolent government of those in power.
There is no mercy when it comes to fire, no matter what is involved.
Even witnessing a fire and not rescuing it is a capital offense.
"Ah..." Xun Shaoyu's acting skills came to the forefront instantly, and he waved his hands in panic, as if he was a frightened cat.
Father Fang was stunned for a moment, his face softened, he shook his head and said to Fang Er beside him: "Xiao Jiu is probably scared... Let Jiu'er go pick up some gravel..."
This is the feeling of adding a calf!
There are dangers during fire fighting, but picking up gravel is undoubtedly much less risky.
But Xun Shaoyu still couldn't be allowed to just go home and rest without doing anything.
In the event of a fire, everyone, young and old, must participate in disaster relief!
The imperial decree is like this, no one dares to treat it like a child's play.
"kindness……"
In the eyes of Fang's father and eldest brother, Xun Shaoyu had always been a good boy, lowering his head timidly.
Fang Er patted his younger brother's young shoulder vigorously: "Stay away from the fire and don't get close to it. When you hold the bucket to load gravel, if you feel that you can't carry it, pack less. Don't be brave and be careful..."
"Well..." Xun Shaoyu lowered his head and silently praised his predecessor in his heart.
The predecessor, Fang Jiu, has been timid and afraid of getting into trouble since he was a child. He tolerates things when he can and gives in when he can. He has always looked honest and honest, or cowardly and incompetent.
But who could have imagined that the ignorant and scared child in front of him was the real culprit of this fire.
I'm afraid that even if the Taoist is ignorant, pointing at Xun Shaoyu's nose and telling the "truth" loudly in front of everyone, it will be in vain.
The fixed impressions that have been formed since childhood are not so easy to change or reverse.
