Chapter 7 The Barbarians of the Five Streams
Ma Su looked at the fruits of his hard work for several days. This silk book, because it was written with a quill, looked particularly exquisite compared to the large characters written by the brush, and he was very satisfied with it!
Ma Su thought about it and gave the silk book a name. At the bottom of the blank space, he picked up his brush and wrote the four small regular characters "Dream Heavenly Book", and then rolled it up very carefully to hide it.
The reason why Ma Suqi wrote such a topic is because no one can understand this book in the world!
Even if someone can guess some of the text from the shapes of those simplified characters, no one can understand the meaning of the sentences and paragraphs here.
The calligraphy of this silk book looks very beautiful because it is a simplified Chinese running script fountain pen written with a quill pen, which was unique at that time!
There shouldn't be anyone who can fully recognize simplified Chinese characters. Even if someone takes this silk book to study, he will not be able to understand it. It's like a heavenly book!
This time Ma Su went out for a study trip with his brother Ma Liang. It was originally fun, but unexpectedly, an accident like being bitten by a snake would happen.
After a long period of coma, many people will experience abnormal situations such as amnesia and possession.
Not only did Ma Su not lose his memory, but he also had a memory in his dream out of thin air. However, whether this matter was good or bad, or a disaster or a blessing, Ma Su had no idea.
Zhang Jiao received the "Taiping Jing" authored by God. It was a lesson from the past when he died and his clan was destroyed! Ma Su decided to keep the matter in his dream secret, and he also did not show it to others.
Although Ma Su was also a scholar, because the books at that time were too rare and the family had limited collections, he was not lucky enough to read a lot of books. He also read several books collected by the Ma clan, as well as the bamboo slips that were incomplete in half the room.
In Ma Su's memory, there are many descriptions of dreams in the book, and the story of "Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies" that impressed him the most is the story of "Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies".
One day, Zhuangzi fell asleep soundly and found that he had turned into a butterfly, flying around freely. After waking up, he realized that it was a dream, so he thought: "Don't you know if (Zhuang) Zhou's dream is a butterfly? Is the dream of a butterfly (Zhuang) Zhou?"
Ma Su's dream is an illusory but very real life experience. Just like Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies, the ancients were often shocked and confused by strange dreams.
Dreams are a strange phenomenon, and the experience of dreaming is also shared by people. But in human culture, whether ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, the understanding of dreams is always a mystery.
In some records of bamboo slips, Ma Su often regards dreams as a god's instructions or a devil's cause when he sees the records of dreams.
Even in the civilized society where Ma Su was dreaming, he still had many superstitions about dreams. In his high school study of ancient culture, stories about dreams were even more common.
Such as "Zhuangsheng dreams of butterflies", "Yellow Farm Dream", "Dream of Flowers with Brushes", "Nan Ke Dream", etc., are all dream stories that have always been talked about.
Ma Su had countless dreams, but like this one, everything he came into contact with in the dream was so real and could even be verified. Just like the knowledge he had learned, he still couldn't let go of it for a long time!
Finally, Ma Su attributed what he learned in his dream to the heavenly teachings in his dreams!
He even felt a little complacent and expectant in his heart. After all, all the people who were taught in their dreams were extraordinary big names!
All the things Ma Su learned in his dream have been recorded and will be slowly confirmed in the future. Since his body has recovered, he will continue his study tour.
After sorting out everything, Ma Su was no longer under pressure and soon fell asleep.
After Meimei had a long sleep, after getting up the next morning, Ma Su came to his brother Ma Liang's guest room early.
Although Ma Liang was studying abroad, his habit of reading in the morning did not change. When he opened the door to Ma Su, he just nodded and signaled Ma Su to come in. He still held a roll of silk book in his left hand and muttered something in his mouth.
Although he did not make any sound, Ma Su, who was familiar with Ma Liangchang's habits, knew that his brother was reciting poetry and books, and he was afraid of affecting the people here to recite silently.
Ma Su didn't bother him, and walked to the bed and sat down, waiting patiently. After a long time, Ma Liang put down his book and asked:
"Youchang's health is already very good? What's going on?"
Ma Su knew that his brother Ma Liang valued etiquette the most. Even if he was a brother, he would still be polite in daily life, showing a scene of "friendly brothers and respectful brothers". So Ma Su was very respectful to the mortals and replied:
"I am concerned about my brother. I am in good health and it is not hindered from my actions. I would like to ask my brother to show me where is the next place for our study tour, so I can prepare in advance."
After hearing Ma Su's question, Ma Liang did not answer, but tapped his middle finger on the table, falling into deep thought. After about a cup of tea, Ma Liang came to his senses and said to Ma Su:
"You Chang, you have been venomous to your heart and your body is well maintained. You are just trying to leave. Are you missing home?"
Although Ma Su was traveling far away for the first time, he did not miss home. Naturally, he said to Ma Liang:
"I've been out for less than two months now. I'm not homesick yet, but after being bitten by a snake this time, I've been recuperating here for seven or eight days. I'm afraid of disrupting my brother's study abroad plan, so I'm here to inquire!"
After hearing Ma Su's answer, Ma Liang said casually, "It's good if you don't miss home!" and then answered Ma Su with an irresponsible question:
"Youchang, do you know where this place is?"
Ma Su was a little confused because before he and Ma Liang went out to study, they had formulated a detailed itinerary. According to the plan, they should have entered the Xiongxi area of Wuling Mountain.
After all, it was the first time to travel far away, Ma Su said in a somewhat unsure tone:
"We should have entered the Xiongxi area of Wuxi barbarians. The river where I was bitten by a snake that day should be the famous Xiongxi?"
This time, Ma Liang did not pause and quickly replied:
"Yes, that's Xiongxi. Shamoko, who used antidote to save you that day, was not only the heir of Shajiazhai, but also the young chief of the entire Xiongxi tribe. Therefore, our study tour schedule really needs to be changed a lot this time."
Wuxi barbarians, also known as "Wuling barbarians". Ma Su is not unfamiliar with them. They had already learned in-depth knowledge before coming here.
There are many barbarians living in the Wuling Mountains. Because they live in Xiongxi, Luxi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi, they are called Wuxi Man.
The barbarians of Wuxi actually originated from the "Sanmiao Kingdom" established by the Sanmiao tribe in ancient times.
The Sanmiao Kingdom got along well with the Huando Tribe. In his later years, the Huando Tribe recommended Gonggong to inherit the throne. Yao served as Gonggong as a craftsman. When Emperor Shun was regent, the Huando Tribe and Gonggong were exiled to the Sanmiao Kingdom for being a "bad tribe".
The Sanmiao tribe conspired with Yao Zi Danzhu to rebel failed, and the Huando tribe moved south. When Emperor Shun was in power, the Sanmiao tribe collapsed and most of them moved to the Wuling Mountains.
