Chapter 1419
"Mr. Wu, are you saying that this big bird is the way to Kunlun Mountain?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"That's right, the blue bird of Kunlun Mountain is mentioned in many legends. Basically, whenever the Queen Mother of the West is mentioned, the blue bird will be mentioned. It is said that the blue bird is a sacred object. It is not only supernatural, but also accompanied by the Queen Mother. Responsible for receiving Ordinary people enter Kunlun Mountain. Maybe the big bird carved in stone is the blue bird in the legend. You also know the ancient legends, and there are too many imaginations attached to it by future generations." Wu Nanming looked up at the stone giant bird on the cliff .

"But it's so high, how did the ancients go up? Could it be that there are really immortals in this world who can let stone birds fly down and take us up?" Fatty Zhang touched his head and said, "Isn't this amazing?"

"Of course there are no immortals, and there is no so-called immortal art. It is just an attachment of descendants, but the Queen Mother of the West does have a prototype. But it should not be a single person, but a female chieftain of the ancient Western Regions, perhaps several generations. Otherwise, there would be no record that both King Mu of Zhou and Emperor Wu of the Han had seen her." Wu Nanming said slowly.

"You mean, although the people who saw King Mu of Zhou and Emperor Wu of Han were both Queen Mother of the West, they were not the same person." Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Very likely." Wu Nanming thought for a while.

"However, it's still unbelievable. Why is it a female chief?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"Because it dates back to a very long time in human history, and this era has left a deep imprint on all ancient nations. Historians call it a matrilineal society." Wu Nanming said slowly, "That is a A very long time ago."

Long Ge nodded and said, "In the early and middle stages of human clan society, almost all were matriarchal clans, that is, social organizations based on matrilineal blood relations. It was a clan system that calculated lineage and inherited property according to the matrilineal system. Humans became a clan society. The first stage of the , very ancient and primitive."

"Oh, I see, that is, there was no monogamy at that time. They were all living together. Everyone knew who was the mother, but they didn't know who was the father." Fatty Zhang said quickly.

"The words are rough and not rough, that's what it means." Long Ge said with a wry smile.

"Didn't expect such a beautiful era?" Fan Jiannan winked at Fatty Zhang.

Wu Nanming smiled and said, "This is not a beautiful era. In that era, women, as the protagonists of the clan society, had supreme power, and men were just vassals. About 5 to 7000 years ago, when the ancients evolved into the new , China's primitive society entered the matrilineal clan society. It reached a prosperous period about six to seven thousand years ago."

Song Long nodded and said, "This phenomenon exists all over the world. The Amazon female warrior recorded in the heroic epics of ancient Greece is a very famous example. The legendary King Theseus of Athens also fought with the Amazons. A war. Theseus robbed Antioch, her sister Oretia vowed to avenge this, and led a large army to attack the Greek town of Attica. After four months of fierce fighting, the Amazon army was defeated by Athens army defeated."

"I understand what you mean. You are saying that the legend of the Queen Mother of the West is probably a microcosm of the ancient matriarchal society. So in different periods, there are different people in the legend. It is the female chieftain of an ancient nation." Fan Jiannan suddenly road.

"That's right, the geography here is relatively closed. It is possible for the ancient nation to be passed down through the matrilineal society and to follow this ancient tribal tradition." Wu Nanming nodded. "It is said that in the modern world, such clans also exist. There is such a backward matriarchal clan near Guyana in South America. They regularly meet with their neighbors, mate during the meeting, keep girls and send back boys. They only The captives are imprisoned and used to pass on the family line, but in the end the captives are inevitable to die. They are extravagant blood, brave and fierce, and hate the invasion of foreigners the most."

"Then how can we go up?" Fan Jiannan was at a loss as he looked at the giant bird statue that was almost on the top.

"In ancient times, they probably used some kind of hanging basket or other suspension devices to get people up from below." Wu Nanming frowned and looked at the top and said, "The high place symbolizes heaven and fairyland, and the broken statue may It was used to hang cables in ancient times. That’s why there is a legend about reaching the fairyland through the blue bird.”

"We don't have rock-climbing tools right now, and even if we have tools for such a steep mountain wall, we can't do it. We are not professional mountaineers, let alone extreme rock climbers." Fatty Zhang shook his head.

"No, there should be other ways to go up. The Queen Mother of the West should not simply be a female clan leader. The female leader of the matrilineal society holds all the power, not only in charge of production and distribution, but also in charge of war and sacrifice, so she should still be a witch. So it’s not necessarily the simple way of using the hanging basket, maybe they have other ways to get people up.” Long Ge paced back and forth, “Otherwise, what’s the explanation for this thing like Stonehenge below? There’s no need for such a thing at all. A large stone array."

"Stone formation?" Fan Jiannan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Could it be some kind of formation that makes people go up. I remember that there is a certain method in the armor-shielding technique that can make people teleport a few feet away."

"You mean, if someone stands on the stone array below, there will be a way to teleport him to that big bird?" Fatty Zhang thought for a while and said, "This is impossible. This belongs to Taoism. It’s a type of transporting technique, it can’t be done without any real skills.”

Fan Jiannan thought for a while and said, "This is definitely not the armor-shielding technique. If so, I can't fail to see it. However, the principles should have something in common. I'm not very familiar with Taoist techniques, why don't you tell me about them?" .”

After Fatty Zhang thought about it, he told him something.

It was the early 80s, and someone somewhere set up a bet.Because he was afraid that the police would come and arrest him, the person in charge set the game on the same boat.The local police station also checked several times after receiving the report, but found nothing each time.

It was not until later that someone reported that the person who set up the bet was quite shrewd. He not only opened up his joints, but also sent people to guard around when he started the bet. Once he saw someone coming to investigate, he would wrap all the gambling equipment in plastic paper and put them in the box. The fishing net sinks in the water, and as soon as the inspector leaves, it will be picked up and continued to gamble.

Because of such care, this gambling place lasted for a long time, causing great harm. It is said that when the scale was the largest, the winning or losing in a day was around 50. The 80 yuan in the 50s was equivalent to the annual income of hundreds of families. At that time, there were many people who sold their houses after becoming addicted to gambling.

At that time, there was a professional planting household in Shangqing Town, who became a household of ten thousand yuan at a very young age. The husband and wife worked hard from morning to night and lived a pretty good life.This person has a forthright personality, and he is willing to help others if they have any difficulties.

When his wife was pregnant, he couldn't go to the mountains to help, so he went to the town to find a small worker, and met a foreigner looking for a job.Planting orchards on the mountain is also hard work, and the physique of the foreigner is not strong, and he is a novice, so he does it very hard.

He then asked the stranger what difficulties he had. The stranger claimed that he would not meet him when he came here to find relatives, and that he could not go home after running out of money, so the man gave him [-] yuan to buy a bus ticket, and the stranger left gratefully.

When other people heard about it, they said that he had been taken advantage of, but he just smiled and said that even if it was a lie, it was just a small trick for him, but if the outsider told the truth, he would have done it. A great thing, being kind to others is always the root of happiness.

Others admired his open-mindedness, but this open-minded person later became addicted to gambling. He spent all day on that gambling boat. In just half a year, he not only lost all his savings, but also owed a whole lot of debt.The orchard he contracted also suffered heavy losses due to lack of maintenance.Although the neighbors helped him at the beginning, but seeing that he couldn't help but go to the casino to hang out when he was rich, and then cheated people with nonsense after losing money, others shook their heads and said, this good guy was forced to be gambled. If he is ruined, he will no longer help him.

In the end, he couldn't live anymore, and he even thought of selling his wife.Trafficking in human beings is of course not tolerated by the law of the country. When his wife learned about it, she was furious and divorced him and returned to her natal family.At this moment, the creditor pressed for the debt and was desperate, so he took out the last bit of money in his hand to buy a bottle of wine, planning to commit suicide by jumping into the sea when he got drunk.

After drinking, he was going to find a remote place when he suddenly heard a man with a foreign accent call him elder brother. Looking back, he saw that man's face was strange, as if he didn't recognize him.The man held him very affectionately, saying that he could only go home with the help of his elder brother.This time, he made a special trip to thank his eldest brother and pay him back the money. Only then did he realize that the other party was a foreigner who he had donated [-] yuan.

Originally, according to the previous situation, whenever there was a chance, I should cheat the money from the stranger again, but I thought that I was already a person who was determined to die, and because of gambling, I lost all my family property, and my wife ran away.When a person is about to die, his heart is also kind, not to mention that he was originally a kind person.He said honestly that he had become like this, and he didn't need money anymore. This foreigner had such a heart, and he already understood it, so he should take the money back.

The stranger was startled for a moment, and asked him if he had a chance to turn around, would he still gamble in the future?
He sighed and said: I have come to this stage, I have regretted it a long time ago, if I give him another chance, I will not be a human again.

The stranger laughed at this moment, saying that since the eldest brother knows how to turn around, there is still hope.He knew about his elder brother's situation when he came, and if his elder brother didn't repent and wanted to cheat his money, he would pay back the two hundred yuan and leave immediately.Now that the eldest brother has realized his mistake, he will definitely help him.

So the stranger heard him tell about the situation of the man who opened the casino, and asked him to go home first, make preparations by himself, and come to him at night.

In the evening, the stranger brought some wine and food, and after eating and drinking for a while, when the night was quiet, the stranger cleared the table, lit four white candles at the four corners, took out yellow paper joss sticks from his side, and set up a battle.The stranger asked him to prick his finger, the blood dripped on the talisman and put it in the middle of the table, and covered it with a piece of cloth, saying how much money you lost to the casino, brother, you can only say less, not more , otherwise both of them will be in great trouble.

This person originally had a family property of no less than [-], and most of it was thrown in the casino. The exact figure is hard to say, but it must be more than [-].The outsider said it was [-].After confirming again and again that the number would only be less or more, he murmured a mantra.

Amidst the sound of the curse, the underside of the cloth bulged obviously, and he took out stacks of ten-yuan banknotes from it, and the wrapped note was still stamped with the imprint of the bettor. A wad of 1000 yuan, and a total of fifty wads were found, the man stopped, blew out the candles, and said to the man: "Brother, after taking this money, go to a foreign country to find a job first, and don't say anything." Feng, you must never gamble again in the future.After that, I want to say goodbye.

The man was very grateful and asked him to take a few wads of money, but the stranger smiled and said that he learned this magic, but he couldn't abuse it, so he had nothing to do when he ran out of money, so he left.The man took the money, went to a neighboring county to restart the stove, and continued to do his old job. After two or three years, he went back to the old way of thinking, so he went to the husband's family to apologize to his wife and asked for remarriage. My own experience warns others not to gamble.

On the night when the outsider got the money back, the gambling boat was also gathering to gamble. At that time, because of the raid, it wrapped up the gambling equipment and sank in the sea.After the searchers left, they pulled it up and looked, only to find that fifty stacks of cash were missing.The gambler thought that Ma Zi probably stole it, so he was furious, arrested the suspicious person and tortured him. As a result, he was killed and was arrested, and the secret of the gambling boat was made public.Because there were hundreds of thousands of cash on board, no one knew how many tens of thousands it should be, and the gambler might have made a mistake in remembering the [-] less.

It wasn't until more than twenty years later that the man was old. After his son graduated from university and went to work in other places, he subcontracted the mountains and forests to others, and went home to enjoy the blessings by himself. Then when he was drinking privately with Fatty Zhang's father, he said over this matter.

Others don't understand, but the fat man's father is a Taoist priest of Zhengyi, so he knew on the spot that the outsider used a magic called Five Ghosts Transporting Technique.According to legend, this kind of magic is a different kind of Taoist magic, not the orthodox Taoist metaphysics, but the person refused to abuse it. Although the magic is a magic trick, the person is a righteous person, and it was because of the great luck of that person that he met such a noble person.

But at that time, the stranger asked him to drip his own blood on the talisman, in fact, it was a defense. Once he cheated, he would be responsible for any disasters.Fortunately, that person was able to know his way back, and later he was cautious in his words and deeds. Otherwise, his family would have been ruined more than 20 years ago, and he would not have a good life later.

In the end, the man was deeply moved, and showed the bloody talisman to Fatty Zhang's father.He never dared to throw away the talisman because of something strange.

After Fatty Zhang finished telling this story, he smiled treacherously, "My father saw the man's talisman. With my father's ability as a Taoist priest of the Talisman Sect for decades, he just figured out the five ghosts transporting technique. So I know a little bit about this transfer technique."

After speaking, he drew a very weird and complicated symbol on the ground with his finger. Fan Jiannan looked at it for a long time, and walked around Stonehenge for a long time.In his silence, he faintly felt a hint of enlightenment.
