Chapter 1459 Shui Shu
Zhu Jie can’t wait, but he doesn’t want to be too obvious, “This hydrangea won’t be able to say anything anymore, I mean it’s dangerous.”
Besides Tang Qisheng shook his head, "Probably not, after all, the weather has already It’s bright, and the mission should be over.”
But to be on the safe side, Jiang Cheng waited until the sun really emerged from the horizon before he took a serious look at the hydrangea. The hydrangea was sewn with fine brocade. The stitching on it is meticulous, and you can see that the person who made it put a lot of thought into it.
From the outside, there was nothing strange, but as he touched it inch by inch, Jiang Cheng suddenly paused. The touch from his fingertips told him that there was something inside the hydrangea. It was a little hard and felt like a wooden sign. .
"Is there something inside?"
The mature and steady Zhang Qizheng also became nervous. The clues they collected since coming to this world were too scattered, and most of the clues were related to the tragedy on Spring God Lake many years ago, and This late lady is the key to this tragedy, how can this make him not excited.
Jiang Cheng's answer was just a simple nod. Li Bai took out a small knife from his arms, the blade flashing with cold light in the darkness, "Cut it with a knife."
"No. "Tang Qisheng stopped him immediately. Perhaps he felt that he was being rude, so he quickly explained: "Miss Li Bai doesn't know something. Hydrangea is a good thing, and good luck needs to avoid disaster. When hydrangea is made, Finally, you need to avoid sharp objects such as knives, axes, and scissors. There is a saying that cuts the hydrangea and sends it to the girl to throw. This means that once the hydrangea is cut, when the marriage is completed, even if you give birth to a child in the future, it will only It will be a girl.”
Prioritizing boys over girls has been around for a long time, especially the wealthy families in ancient times, who were very particular about it, and the weird customs that evolved from it are even more incredible.
Jiang Cheng has even heard a saying that in the past, some wealthy families in ancient times would find a fortune teller to choose a dark and windy night if their first child was a daughter. , kill the girl, and then bury it under the threshold of the door of the house. This is called scaring evil, and the meaning is to scare away the girl who comes to this house to be reincarnated, so as to ensure that the next child will be a boy.
If this method does not work, if the next baby is a girl, then kill it and continue to bury it under the threshold until a boy is born.
After listening to Tang Qisheng's words, Jiang Cheng nodded slowly, then motioned for everyone to spread out, and then followed the gap between the stitches, grabbed one end with one hand, tightened his muscles and slowly exerted force, the hydrangea actually turned out to be real was torn apart.
At the same time, a dark wooden sign fell from the hydrangea. The fat man had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed it, so that it did not fall to the ground.
This scene was also seen by Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng. He couldn't help but take a higher look at Wang Fugui. They saw the situation just now. The dark wooden sign was not that big. It was very uncomfortable in today's environment. At first glance, they didn't even notice it completely, but Wang Fugui's reaction was surprisingly fast.
A person who can survive an unjust ghost really has two skills. The most important thing is that he is also good at pretending. He pretends to know nothing and only follows Jiang Cheng's lead.
Zhu Jie and Tang Qizheng looked at each other and secretly communicated in their hearts. They speculated that maybe Jiang Cheng was only the nominal commander of this group of people, but in fact the core of these people was a man named Wang Fugui.
Oddly enough, standing next to Wang Fugui, they had an indescribable feeling, like a sense of security. In short, everyone felt at ease wherever Wang Fugui appeared. They had never felt this way before. Yes.
The ability to cause changes in the environment is terrifying.
Jiang Cheng took the wooden sign in his hand and took a closer look. There were many strange patterns engraved on the sign, like some kind of font, but no one could understand it at all.
"What is this?" The fat man blinked and complained, "Why does it look like a ghost painting?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Cheng moved the wooden sign closer to him. He must have thought of it later. He frowned slightly, "This seems to be a water book."
"What is a water book?" The fat man asked if he didn't understand.
Yao, Shun, and Yu saw this and explained, "Shui Shu is a death script. It is the language used by priests to communicate with ghosts and gods at ancient festivals. This language can also be used to communicate with ghosts under special circumstances, but only It can communicate with some evil ghosts who are full of grievances. These ghosts have their own ways, which ordinary ghosts cannot understand."
The fat man's scalp went numb when he heard it. He only remembered one sentence, this kind of weird words can communicate with others. Communicate with evil spirits.
Zhang Qizheng stepped forward, stared at the wooden sign in Jiang Cheng's hand, and finally nodded after a few seconds, as if to confirm, "Yes, it's Shui Shu, and it's very authentic. It's really rare that someone can actually write such a thing. , I think this person must be quite good.”
“I have always heard people in the mansion mention the three words Tianshifu, as well as the workmanship. I think this level of Shui Shu is probably made by them." Li Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Why, Mr. Zhang knows Shui Shu?"
Seeing the clues in front of us, but everyone can't understand it, this kind of thing is really torturous. The clues about the late madam must be cracked.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang shook his head and said in a somewhat regretful tone, "Sorry, I only know a little bit about it, that is, to the extent that I can tell whether it is a genuine Shui Shu. I can't translate it. I Among the people who know, perhaps only people like Yu Chengmu can do it, after all, this is what they eat.”
Unexpectedly, Yu Chengmu had such ability. Fatty couldn't help but secretly sigh. Fortunately, he followed the doctor, otherwise his ashes would have been scattered by Yu Chengmu and the others.
Suddenly, a steady voice came from behind, "Shui Shu, is it? I'm not talented, maybe I can understand a little bit."
Looking around, I saw Shao Tong swaggering When he came over, he was much more normal than before, at least he didn't sound like a Taoist master. After Lu Qin died, the shackles on his body disappeared.
Taking the wooden sign and holding his breath for a moment, Shao Tong exhaled, "It is indeed like this."
The fat man was very anxious, "What does it look like? What did you see? ”
"It contains the birth date of the first lady and the name of the first lady." Shao Tong looked at everyone, "Her name is Guo Shaoyi."
The moment the name was spoken, Jiang Cheng immediately thought of the one in the backyard. General Tomb, the tombstone reads the tomb of Guo Shaotang, the mighty general of the army.
Judging from the name and the clues we had previously obtained, it is now obvious that this first lady is a family member of General Guo, and is most likely his biological sister.
It was precisely because of this relationship that General Guo neglected to take precautions against the Marquis of Zhennan, which eventually led to his being plotted and the entire army being annihilated on Chunshen Lake. (End of this chapter)
