The Evil Wife of the Rebirth of the Shang Family

Chapter 488 Ancient Text
Mayor Wang Ren raised his thin glasses, looked at Meng Shuixin and said, "From the day you came back, I knew that we were trapped in the gap of time, because everything changed It's like we were blocked here a long time ago, before your present broke in, everything, back to the original place, we are trapped."

"Wait a minute, Mayor Wang Ren, I think, maybe I understand what you mean." Chen Tian stroked his eyes at this moment and said, "You mean you were trapped by the curse, right? ?”

Wang Ren's expression changed for a moment and then returned to normal: "I thought Meng Rong had already told you everything."

"Mayor Wang Ren." Meng Shuixin said, "I believe you are a good friend of my grandpa, but that doesn't mean that you can blame everything on my grandpa. Mayor, I don't care about you now. It is the existence and the curse, I only care about how to break the curse, because I think that since you have been trapped in the same time in the past years, there must be a purpose, otherwise why are you trapped in the same time? What about the day of the celestial vision?"

The smile on Wang Ren's face disappeared, but he looked at Meng Shuixin silently for a while and said: "The daughter of the Meng family really deserves her reputation, and she is not ashamed of your family's surname. But, you are right, our ancestors have wanted it for generations. To get rid of the curse of fate, we don't want to live on the same day, because on this day, someone will die and someone will be born, but it doesn't follow the laws of nature. He may also follow certain laws, but it is something we don't know. Clear and mysterious rules. The only thing we can do every day is to wait for the high priest to leave the customs, and then tell us how many people will be born and how many people will die in the next few days."

"Even the number of births and deaths is stipulated. Don't tell me that the births in your place are like the Virgin Mary, where men and women are not required to be together?" Meng Shuixin frowned.

"You say that we are a cursed city, how can we have the abilities of normal people, the number of our women and the number of men have not changed for so long, and they are walking in an astonishingly similar trajectory day by day. "Wang Ren said with a wry smile.

"Wait a minute." Chen Tian interrupted the old man's sad emotion and said, "You mean, all the numbers of men and women are the same?"

"Yes, women are selected by the high priest to pass on the life of the next generation. How long everyone lives is in the hands of the high priest, or in the hands of the curse that is carried on us, and I was also born by the high priest. The priest gave the mayor the accusation, but I believe that my day will come soon, and I will soon meet the day of my death." Wang Ren said, "You are trapped here and don't know Is it predestined, but, Meng Shuixin, I hope you can break this curse. I believe that it may not be accidental that your mother entered our town back then. Perhaps, his arrival heralded your arrival, you Look……"

Wang Ren opened the box he was holding just now, and inside was a sheepskin scroll, the ancient characters inside were unknown to Meng Shuixin, but Chen Tian took the scroll to read, Meng Shuixin looked at Chen Tian very much To be serious is to ask: "Do you know?"

Chen Tian nodded: "The book Wen Jingrong gave me mentioned such ancient characters before. I was very interested, so I asked Wen Jingrong to help me find more books on this topic, so it can be said that I probably know some of them. These texts."

"Wen Jingrong, it's him again..." Meng Shuixin said in a dark tone.

"This is an ancient text, some of which are very difficult to understand, and I don't really understand it. After all, I only read it for a while, but I can probably guess that it is a sacrificial text." Chen Tian said.

"Sacrifice, mayor Wang Ren, is it possible for us to meet the high priest?"

Mayor Wang Ren showed a troubled expression on his face and said: "It's not that I don't want you to see the high priest, it's just that there are only a handful of days when we see the high priest over the years. The last time you showed up, we also saw the high priest." One of the few times that the priest, the high priest is really a most sacred existence in the stone, we have no way to decide whether we can see him or not."

"Wait a minute, Mayor Wang Ren." Chen Tian interrupted suddenly while looking at the parchment, "Can you tell me the number of men and women in your town, since the number of people in your town has never changed , I think these figures have not changed, have they?"

Meng Shuixin looked at Chen Tian, ​​but didn't speak.

"Let's think about it, we have 84 men and 66 women." Wang Ren said.

Chen Tian pointed to an incomprehensible ancient text on the parchment scroll, and said: "150, three stars alternate, time overlaps, this is a large altar to change time, to change the fate of everyone, no... "

"This sacrifice is not to change everyone's fate." Meng Shuixin took up Chen Tian's words, and some fragments suddenly flashed in his mind before continuing, "It is to change a person's fate , and this person may have died in ancient times, but he has the identity that cannot be easily resurrected, so they prepared a grand sacrifice. sacrificial offerings."

Chen Tian looked at Meng Shuixin and said: "But this sacrifice was indeed stopped by the soul, so Stone Town has been trapped in time and cannot escape. Where did this parchment come from?"

Wang Ren looked up at Meng Shuixin, hesitated for a while and said, "This is brought by your mother."

"What did you say?" Meng Shuixin looked at Wang Ren and asked repeatedly.

"At the beginning, your mother said that it was because of the discovery of this parchment that she knew of our existence and wanted to find it. Your mother has an unprecedented spirit of adventure that does not belong to a girl, and through this parchment The clues on the map have been found here." Wang Ren said, "The most rare thing is that your mother can't understand the words on it at all, he just feels that these patterns that least exist in this parchment scroll are inferred, so I want to return her to you, and I think that since he was able to find our existence with this parchment, you must also rely on it to destroy us."

Looking at the sheepskin rolls on the table, Meng Shuixin suddenly felt that her back was very cold, and a chill spread directly from her back to her whole body. After being reborn, Meng Shuixin only thought that she could only be controlled by someone. Everything is what I have experienced, and the things in this world are all things that I have experienced, but it is also when life is going on silently, Meng Shuixin finds more and more that this life is basically closed. It was different in my previous life, and some tracks seemed to have deviated from the course it should have. Things that I had never paid attention to in my previous life, this consciousness gradually surfaced, and those things that were covered by dust gradually revealed their essence.

All of this seems to be controlled by an invisible hand behind the back, making Meng Shuixin feel that he should be the one pulling the rope, but he is being controlled by the rope. It made Meng Shuixin feel very uncomfortable.

"Chen Tian, ​​what kind of writing is this?"

"I once saw it in a book that Wen Jingrong gave me. In that book, it said that this text is an ancient text, which is earlier than Jiesheng Jishi. Before Jiesheng Jiji, we actually had writing, but The characters at that time were not owned by humans. Humans were not worthy of such advanced characters. The characters at that time were exclusive to the gods. The gods used this characters to communicate with the heaven and the earth. It has always existed, but humans have never known it. The existence of human characters is thousands or even tens of thousands of years earlier than human characters." Chen Tian said, "But suddenly one day, a god leaked this character and a character that only belonged to gods to human beings, so , other people started to destroy human beings, just to prevent this kind of text from leaking out. Of course, all these are myths mixed with clues in all biographies. Some are true and some are false. They are older than the historical era. Longer than dinosaurs have existed, so I have always been skeptical about the contents of these books."

"However, such words do exist." Meng Shuixin said, "What should we do now?"

"You're right, Meng Shuixin, we need to see the high priest, and then give him this parchment." Chen Tian said, "No matter what the sacrificial ceremony is, there is no one who is better than him. It is more clear. Unfortunately, I can't understand many of the characters on this parchment. It doesn't look like hieroglyphs, nor does it look like ancient Chinese, but there are some ancient characters that seem to be a combination of foreign and domestic. If you look at it, I don't think it is a kind of words, I think it is more like a word game, a word game that disassembles and reassembles all words, but or, all words It was all pieced together from him as the source."

"Mayor Wang Ren, you also heard that we need to see the high priest." Meng Shuixin said.

"Really not, without the permission of the high priest and taking the initiative to meet, none of us can go to the high priest and disturb the high priest's retreat, otherwise we will be severely punished." Wang Ren said.

"But..." Just when Chen Tian was about to say something, there was a sudden booming sound at the door, and then someone shouted at the door, "Mayor, mayor, it's not good, it's not good, the sky thunder strikes!" Two people died, but there is no pregnant woman in our town recently!"

Wang Ren stood up abruptly, her short body seemed about to fall down.
