In fact, anyone who knows something about the 56 ethnic groups in our country knows that the Miao people's writing is still a mystery!
The writing used by the Miao people now is actually all the writing that the country gave to the Miao people using Latin numerals after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Most experts believe that the Miao people did not have writing in ancient times. The Miao people were like the former Huns, with only spoken language and no writing. Their culture was passed down by word of mouth.
However, I think this statement is a bit nonsense. According to my understanding of the Miao people, whether it is their legends or ancient songs, the various information conveyed in them show that this nation definitely had writing. It's just that the Miao people have always lived in a tribal system, and they have experienced several migrations in the middle, so their writing has been lost. Of course, it is also possible that their writing is information that only belongs to the upper echelons of the tribe. In comparison, I am more inclined to the former, because the Miao people have made several large-scale migrations in history due to environmental and climate changes, which gradually formed countless branches such as the Red Miao, Black Miao, and White Miao. The environment in Sichuan and Guizhou is harsh, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is poor and bad. Otherwise, it would not be considered a southwest wilderness by the Central Plains people in ancient times. Under the conditions of manpower and transportation in ancient times, it was too difficult to complete a large-scale ethnic migration there. I don't know how many lives would be lost in one migration. Every migration is equivalent to a nirvana rebirth of the entire nation. Under such circumstances, it is normal for the Miao people to lose their own writing.
The real ancient Miao language has long been lost, there is no doubt about this.
However, I know some ancient Miao characters, because I have such a single copy at home, which is full of rubbings of ancient Miao stele found in Hunan Chengbu, and some other ancient Miao rubbings. The author of the book has basically deciphered these rubbings. Although they are scattered and cannot form a systematic language system, I know a lot of ancient Miao characters!
Now, as soon as I saw the stone tablet, I knew that this was definitely the authentic ancient Miao language.
"Nephew, your family is a noble family, do you know this character?"
At this time, Zhang Zhenlin suddenly asked me: "Read it to me quickly."
This man...
is really heartless!
I was convinced. Although I had a prejudice against him in my heart, and the prejudice was very big, this was a serious matter, and I couldn't go against him. However, his tone was still a bit bad: "This is ancient Miao language. Do you believe that there are no more than a hundred people in the world who can recognize it? It takes time to decipher it. Do you really think it's Arabic numerals and you can do it right away?"
Zhang Zhenlin was contradicted by me, but he didn't get angry with me anymore. I don't know if he was embarrassed because I scolded him not long ago, so he didn't argue with me. He smiled awkwardly and waved his hands while sitting aside: "You look first, don't be in a hurry!"
I curled my lips and didn't say anything. I took out the notebook from my schoolbag and started to decipher it.
The villagers of Baiyangyu should be descendants of the Qing Miao, so their ancient Miao language should be biased towards the Sichuan-Guizhou Miao dialect. I deciphered it in this direction. What's more, it turns out that I did find the right direction. After two to three hours of tossing, I finally roughly solved the inscription.
The content recorded in this inscription is similar to what I imagined. The origin of the villagers of Baiyangyu is roughly the same as my previous inference. The villagers of Baiyangyu are descendants of the Qing Miao!
How did they get here?
This probably started in the first year of the Common Era, which is about 2,000 years ago in the southwest. At that time, the southwest was considered wild and barren in the eyes of the Central Plains nobles, so the emperors of the Central Plains were too lazy to conquer that place.
However, the emperors of the Central Plains looked down on that place, but the Miao people living there did!
At that time, in the southwest Miao area near Liupanshui, there were two most powerful Miao villages, one was the Ge Mi tribe in the Qing Miao branch, and the other was the Ge Pu tribe in the Hei Miao branch. The Qing Miao at that time was not the Qing Miao of today. There were more than 4,000 people, and the group was very large and dominated for a time! The Hei Miao at that time was not the Hei Miao of today. They worshipped witchcraft, and most of the tribe members were grass witches, and there was even a Gu King with a level similar to the Ninth Stage Great Heavenly Master!
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female. The Ge Mi tribe and the Ge Pu tribe couldn't tell the male from the female, so they could only start a bloody battle for hegemony in the Liupanshui area for a hundred years.
According to the records on this stone tablet, in the final battle between the two sides, the Ge Mi tribe almost went all out, pulling out an army of nearly 8,000 people, which was already very amazing in the southwest wilderness at that time, and the Ge Pu tribe was not a pushover either. The Gu King led all the grass Gu Po and 3,000 Black Miao troops out of the mountain village to fight.
As a result, the Ge Mi tribe could not stop the overwhelming Gu insects of the Ge Pu tribe, and the whole army was annihilated. After the defeat, the Ge Mi tribe fled north and hid all the way to the depths of Hengshan Mountain in Shanxi.
Shanxi is the territory of the Han Empire, and the Black Miao people did not dare to go to this place to make trouble, but they were also afraid that the Ge Mi tribe would revive and then affect their hegemony in Liupanshui, so, the dirty trick came out!
The Gu King of the Black Miao found a Feng Shui master from the Central Plains, and in exchange for teaching him his Gu technique, he let this master create a bad Feng Shui situation in the Ge Mi tribe, so that this tribe would never be able to turn over!
Needless to say, this Feng Shui master used the "Kanfang Road" to nail down the hanging coffin burial site of the descendants of the Ge Mi tribe, so that all the people of this tribe would not be able to rest in peace after death, and it would be best if the Ge Mi tribe settlement could become a ghost village.
Not only that, this Feng Shui master also set up an extremely sinister Feng Shui situation around Baiyangyu!
The name of this Feng Shui situation is "Three Residences"!
What is the Three Residences? It is a Yin house that does not take advantage of the mountains and rivers! !
The Feng Shui master dug a fork in the Hutuo River, which originated from Hengshan Mountain, and diverted it to the north of Baiyangyu. Then he carried stones up the mountain to change the height of each mountain. It took him two full years to make the mountains around Baiyangyu high in the front and low in the back, high in the southeast and flat in the northwest. Suddenly, a very bad Feng Shui situation was formed, which is the house of three residences.
The cave site of the house of three residences is not suitable for living people at all, because it does not gather yang energy, let alone wind and water. Instead, it gathers the yin energy and evil spirits from the hanging coffin burial cemetery at the head of the village that was nailed open by the "Kanfang Road". People living in such a place will definitely be poor and miserable for generations, the whole family will be uneasy, the population will be damaged, the livestock will not thrive, the grain will be difficult to harvest, and disasters, misfortunes, illnesses, and palace affairs will continue.
After doing all this, the Feng Shui master left, but the leader of the Ge Mi tribe at that time saw through the plot, but he would not break the Feng Shui pattern of the Sanyu house. After thinking about it, he built a totem ghost temple at the head of the village and asked the ghost grandmother to help him guard the tribe. In return, the Ge Mi tribe will worship the ghost grandmother for generations!
Not to mention, the ghost grandmother really suppressed the situation of the Sanyu!
This is what is recorded on the inscription. The elders of the Ge Mi tribe who left this inscription also hope that the tribe can always worship the totem ghost temple and don't forget the inheritance of their ancestors!
After reading the cause and effect of the inscription, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Even if what happened later was not recorded on the inscription, it can be inferred from the clues I have now-the villagers of Baiyangyu started to kill themselves! !
Originally, according to my understanding of the Sanyu Mansion, with such a fierce totem ghost like the ghost granny suppressing it, this Feng Shui pattern really can't cause any waves. I guess if it remains the same, the two sides may really be able to live in peace!
Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the past. Six hundred years ago, the villagers of Baiyangyu closed the totem ghost temple because they didn't get the help and consent of the ghost granny for a few trivial things!
So, the ghost granny ignored them, and the situation of Sanyu began to go crazy. The villagers of Baiyangyu lived worse and worse every year, and the yin and evil spirits here became heavier every year. Now it has almost reached the point of eruption.
What's the result?
At this time, the villagers of Baiyangyu may have done something that was against the will of heaven and earth, so that some people have a huge resentment against this place!
This resentment was like a fuse, completely igniting the hidden dangers in Baiyangyu that had been hidden for more than 600 years. The evil spirits accumulated here for more than 600 years directly made the owner who resented Baiyangyu into a great existence, and the disaster came just like that...
I let out a long breath. Knowing the cause and effect, I had even less good feelings towards the people in this village!
If God wants to kill people, you can still save yourself!
But if you seek death yourself, who the hell can stop you?
But since I know that the biggest feng shui evil situation in this place is the three-house house, many things will be much easier to deal with, so I looked up and said, "I think I can find the hiding place of the real owner!"
