Chapter 2791 Second Interpretation of Oracle Inscriptions
There is light in the shooting star, and there is a tail when looking at it. Wherever it goes, there will be war and bloodshed. The sight is unknown. It is not expected to be more than three months, and there will be disaster.
This is the gatha that Zheng Qing heard from the elders of the Utyama tribe on the night of Qingming Festival - to be precise, it is a gatha-style divination.
At this moment, this inscription copied by Zheng Qing on the parchment lay quietly on a long table. The old fishman priest who worshiped 'Yagneg' opened his turbid blue-gray eyes and was looking at the sheepskin carefully. Every word on the paper.
The rich smoke in the tent was slowly dissipating with the old priest's long breathing. Zheng Qing sat in front of the long desk, silently waiting for the old priest's interpretation. Jiang Yu and Big Fox sat on his left and right. Xiao Xiao came to this tent just like the last time, taking the fat wizard and elders with him to carefully appreciate the various 'arts' hanging on the surrounding walls, such as the burnt yellow fire dragon spine. , mammoth skulls with ivory, whips made of ox tails, etc.
Since there was no need to start a ceremony, the row of little fishmen in the choir seemed very leisurely. Although they were not whispering or whispering to each other, they were not sitting peacefully on the stools. Instead, they opened their beautiful big eyes curiously. He looked at the guests in the tent, especially the two cats who came with them.
Compared to the somewhat scary big fox and the unattractive dog with gray fur, the black gem cat and the white jade cat are particularly eye-catching.
It's just that the two cats are the clones of adult wizards. After all, they are somewhat reserved in their bones and will not play with children just because they are small.
On the contrary, Boseidong seemed to be very interested in the translucent scales and clean and soft fins of the little fish people. He dragged two cats and wandered in front of the little fish people. He wanted to touch them but didn't dare to touch them. The appearance before.
"Yagnegg! Our God!"
The old fishman priest opened his mouth with his usual aria, then his voice returned to normal, he raised his eyelids that had lost their transparency, and glanced at the boy: "——When our world fell apart, the moonlight also turned into thousands of tiny pieces. The beam of light is hidden in the corner of memory, with endless colors, swallowed up by the sun. On the echoing path, thousands of tiny moonlights gather into a clear spring, creating an intoxicating flavor. "
Zheng Qing was confused when he heard this.
He looked around carefully with the corner of his eye - the big fox had his eyelids drooped, and his four tails were rolled up in a ball behind him. He looked bored and almost fell asleep on the long desk; although Jiang Yu looked He seemed to be listening very seriously, but his blank expression was not much lighter than Zheng Qing's.
The wizard cleared his throat.
"you……"
As soon as he said a word, the old fishman priest raised his hand and interrupted: "When we were wandering, Yagneg protected us from being chased by monsters, bothered by wizards, and teased by dragons... We stopped, and He was wearing a dragon skin cloak, sitting in the shrine and taking a nap. Those who watch the destiny may not be believers in God, but they must show their sincerity."
This is much more straightforward.
Without saying a word, Zheng Qing pushed the golden beans he had prepared in front of the old fish man.
Last year's divination was at this price, and he remembered it clearly.
The old priest looked at the solitary golden bean in front of him, his beard drooping, and said nothing. After a long while, seeing that the wizard had no further expression, he slowly said: "——Destiny, what a wonderful and expensive term..."
Before she finished speaking, the witch next to her placed another golden bean next to Zheng Qing's golden bean.
The old fish man's cloudy eyes suddenly became much clearer.
But his expression was still somewhat reserved.
This time, it didn't have time to speak.
The big fox next to him stretched out his paw and slapped a clear jade coin in front of it. His voice was a little impatient: "Stop pretending! I'm out shopping, not sitting in this smelly tent." I heard you talking in your sleep!"
As she spoke, the four fluffy big tails behind her bloomed like lotus flowers, and a touch of Qi belonging to the great wizard spread brightly in the tent.
Wow!
The old fish-man priest quickly placed a jade coin and two golden beans on the table.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
It held its hands in front of it, nodded repeatedly, and grinned a humble smile on its wide mouth. The mysterious aura on its body completely faded away with these actions.
Then it picked up the parchment on the table again, took out a monocle from its arms, hung it on its left eye, tilted its head, and carefully read the contents on the parchment. While reading, it said Apologize: "I'm sorry. I'm old and my eyesight is not good enough. I can't see clearly without glasses..."
"Then what did you just watch for a long time?" the black gem cat yelled not far away.
The old fishman pointed his lenses in the direction of the sound, and when he saw the black cat, his expression was a little surprised: "Ah...it turns out to be a cat! I thought it was a mouse before."
The white jade cat raised its paw and blocked the black gem cat's mouth, stopping its rage. When the big fox saw this scene, its originally blooming tail was crooked, as if it wanted to knock the black gem cat somersaults.
The old priest, whose eyes had improved, did not keep the guests waiting for too long.
It only took a moment to interpret the inscription in its own way: "——Meteor with a tail means great evil. According to the inscription, where the great evil falls, there will be war and bloodshed. This means that it is unknown. This It will happen within three months of the meteor falling... When did you get this divination? "
It took off its glasses and glanced at the guest.
Zheng Qing did not answer, but felt a little disappointed - because the content interpreted by the old fishman was no different from the conclusion drawn by the teaching assistants. He thought he could get something more specific from here.
For example, who are the two sides of the war?
Who will bleed?
And so on.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the stone platform at the end of the long table, which was covered with a large, heavy cloak. If I remember correctly, the stone platform is the shrine where these fishmen believe in gods, and under the cloak is the skull of the "Agneg".
Last time, Xiao Xiao put the skull of Agneg on his head, let Agneg "descend the spirit", and then did divination for Zheng Qing.
This time -
He turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao, but saw that the three of them had slipped to the door of the tent, and it seemed that they would lift the fish skin curtain and escape in the next moment. On the other side, the little fox and the little fishmen were having fun, the black gem cat was bored and playing the game of stacking claws with the white jade cat, and the big fox tilted his head and stared at them with unfriendly eyes.
When Zheng Qing first heard this divination, the black gem cat was still a piece of stone, unformed. Now, it can withstand the gaze of a great wizard without changing its expression or heartbeat.
He sighed at the passing of time in his heart, retracted his gaze, and looked at the owner of the fish-skin tent——
"I want to see it with my own eyes."
