Mr. Liao said: "It is said that layman Yingping is not only unparalleled in his music, but also his calligraphy is rare. He is a weird person, his music is also strange, and his method of doing things is even weirder." After a pause, he said: "My A friend said that layman Yingping traveled around all year round and made some friends. When he corresponded with those friends, he used the secret shadow character."
"Could it be that layman Yingping invented this secret shadow character?" Qining was quite surprised.
Of course he knew that the invention of writing was not a simple matter.
Mr. Liao nodded and said: "That's what the rumor is. It is said that the layman Yingping and a group of people invented the secret shadow character. Later, they used the secret shadow character in letters. This kind of character is very rare and the people who use it are very few. It’s like a secret code.”
Qi Ning nodded slightly. The secret shadow characters looked very beautiful, but they were very repetitive, just like runes. The simpler the circulation of the characters, the easier it is to introduce it to others. If this kind of characters is not passed down by others, that is Things that make sense.
"Originally, this kind of secret shadow character was difficult for people to identify, but an ancestor who was with layman Yingping at that time was very fond of this secret shadow character. He treated it as a game and wrote a special introduction to the secret shadow character. Later, It was included in one ancient volume." Mr. Liao said with a smile: "Not many ancient manuscripts of this kind have been handed down. My friend said that there are only a hundred copies at most, and he just included one."
Qi Ning thought to himself that he was really lucky, the accountant had actually found out the clues.
Mr. Liao handed over the piece of paper in his hand, and Qining took it. Mr. Liao already said: "The secret shadow character written by the Marquis is the word 'hidden'!"
"Tibetan?"
Mr. Liao nodded and said: "There is absolutely no mistake. I will check it again and again to confirm it."
Qining thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Liao, can you borrow your friend's ancient manuscript for a few days?"
Mr. Liao smiled and said, "You don't need to borrow it, Mr. Marquis." He took out a book from his arms and said, "To my friend, that ancient manuscript is very formal. Even I can't lend it out. I begged him again and again. After two drinks, he finally agreed to let me copy down the ancient manuscript. It took me two days to copy it down verbatim." He presented it to Qining: "If you need it, Lord Marquis, feel free to accept it. "
Qi Ning was overjoyed, thinking to himself that this old man was really thorough in his work. He took the ancient book, flipped through a few pages, and found that it was a newly copied copy, and said: "Mr. Liao, you are in charge of the accounting room yourself, and you can collect fifty from the account." Two pieces of silver, consider it as your reward."
Mr. Liao hurriedly said: "Thank you, Lord Marquis." He cupped his hands and said, "If you have any other instructions, Lord Marquis, please feel free to tell me."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "You go and have a rest first. If anything happens, I will naturally come to you." After the husband left, he hurried back to his yard, went in, closed the door, reached the head of the bed, and got down. He turned around and looked around to make sure there was no one around, then used his cold blade to pry open a brick on the wall and took out the scroll hidden inside.
He made sure that the doors and windows were closed. It was still early in the morning, so there was no need to light a lamp. He sat down at the table and gently unfolded the scroll. Everything was as before. The scroll itself was a little yellow, but he was clearly visible on it. On the far left were the three The larger secret shadow characters were followed by strange runes that were densely packed like piles of ants.
If the three characters on the left hand look like handwriting, the densely packed runes behind them are not like words at all, but more like pictures.
Qi Ning knew that this scroll was very important. Zhuo Qingyang risked his life to protect this scroll, and Jiang Suiyun's purpose of approaching Zhuo Qingyang seemed to be for this scroll.
Qi Ning now knows that there is a dark shadow behind Jiang Suiyun and Yan Lingxian. If Guo Guo's guess is correct, of course Jiang Suiyun's actions were all directed by that shadow.
This scroll that many people have tried so hard to obtain is certainly no ordinary thing.
But he was a little curious. What Mr. Liao said today made Qining think, could this scroll be related to the layman Yingping back then
The Secret Shadow character was only spread within a small area at that time, and it was centered on layman Yingping. The first three characters of this scroll are the secret shadow character. If you say it has nothing to do with layman Yingping, you are just seeing a ghost.
Qi Ning looked at the first three characters of the scroll and opened the ancient manuscript. The secret shadow characters were indeed introduced in detail in the second half of the ancient manuscript, and the method of identifying the secret shadow characters was given. In fact, if some things were not revealed, It may seem extremely complicated, but once you get the hang of it, it's really easy to identify.
In this manuscript, not only did it explain how to use secret shadow characters, but Teng listed three full pages of secret shadow characters to compare with the popular characters in the world. Qining was immersed in it. It was a coincidence that Teng The second character listed is exactly the same as the first character on the scroll. Looking at the introduction on the manuscript, it turns out to be the character "地".
What Mr. Liao identified earlier was the second character, which was the character "Tibet". The two characters before and after were connected, and it turned out to be the word "Tibet".
Qining was taken aback.
He is very familiar with this Ksitigarbha. Starting from the Qi family's old house, Ksitigarbha has been lingering around Qining like a wandering spirit. There is also a rumor in Xichuan that the Ksitigarbha party is waiting for an opportunity to plot a rebellion.
The first two words of this scroll were Ksitigarbha. Unexpectedly, Great Chu Qining frowned, wondering if this scroll was actually related to Ksitigarbha in Xichuan
But when I think about it carefully, I feel that the possibility is not high, maybe it is just a coincidence.
This scroll has turned yellow and is made of special material. It is definitely not from ten or twenty years ago. It is obviously an ancient scroll that has been circulated for a long time.
Qi Ning pondered for a moment and did not waste any time. He continued to search for the third character in the ancient scroll. Many of these secret shadow characters looked very similar. They could be confused if they were not careful. Every stroke must be carefully checked. , on the second page, Qi Ning finally saw that there was actually a word that matched it. It was certain that Qi Ning frowned and murmured: "Ksitigarbha genealogy!"
The first three characters of this volume are exactly the three characters of Ksitigarbha Pu.
Qi Ning only heard this name and wondered if there was a music score on this ancient scroll. He felt a little unbelievable and secretly thought that it was a music score that Zhuo Qingyang protected with his life? What Jiang Suiyun tried his best to figure out was actually such a piece of music
He immediately thought that layman Yingping was rumored to be an unparalleled music master, and that the secret shadow character was closely related to layman Yingping. If this was really a piece of music score, it would really make sense.
Qi Ning touched his forehead and felt that his head was as big as a bucket.
When he first got this ancient scroll, he always thought it was extremely important. He also made various guesses. He thought that this ancient scroll might contain a mysterious and powerful set of martial arts formulas. He also thought about whether it might be a set of martial arts formulas. The scroll that tells the whereabouts of the treasure, I even thought about whether there is a shocking secret hidden in it.
But in the end, I never thought that this ancient scroll might be a piece of music.
Qining felt a little uninterested when he thought that this was a music score.
Qi Ning also understands that for people who like music, a unique music score is of course extremely precious, but for people like Qi Ning who don't have much interest in music, even the most precious music score is not worth it. Can't arouse much interest.
Qin Ning felt a little amused when he thought that Zhuo Qingyang risked his life while Jiang Suiyun and his men went to great lengths to attack just for a piece of music.
He was about to roll up the ancient scroll, but suddenly he thought that although the name was Ksitigarbha Pu and it seemed to be a music score, he could not be sure that the content in it was really a music score. Besides, even if it was really a music score, there was no There may not be any hidden secrets, but now we need to find out whether these strange runes are tunes.
Zhuo Qingyang's whereabouts are unknown. Qining has no clues and does not know whether Zhuo Qingyang is dead or alive. He can only hope to find some clues from this scroll.
He knew in his heart that this ancient scroll must not be seen by a second person besides himself, otherwise it might cause trouble. Wei Wei pondered, repeated his old trick, took out a pen and paper, and copied a strange rune from the ancient scroll again. I read the paper and thought about finding someone to ask in this mansion.
He was afraid that if he made a slight clerical error, it would be difficult for others to identify him, so he was extremely careful when writing, not daring to make any oversights. After a long time, he finally copied one of the sections, and it was exactly the same as the original. Only then was he satisfied. At this moment, But when he heard a knock on the door, Qining was slightly startled. He was afraid that someone would see the scroll, and no matter who it was, he shouted: "Wait a minute." He quickly rolled up the ancient scroll, went over and hid it in the wall, and filled in the scroll. Good Brick, he stuffed the ancient manuscript under the quilt, put the copied paper into his sleeve, made sure there was no flaw, then walked to the door and asked: "Who is it?"
He only heard a soft and pleasant voice saying: "It's me, Ning'er, open the door!" It was Gu Qinghan's voice.
Qining didn't expect that Gu Qinghan would take the initiative to come to his yard and open the door. As soon as the door opened, the fragrance hit his nostrils, accompanied by the swaying skirt and jingling rings, the bright and moving Gu Qinghan appeared in front of him, wearing a jade-colored robe and a She is wearing a crimson gauze skirt and has a graceful and graceful figure. In her hand, she is holding a small tray with a glaze-colored porcelain pot and a soup bowl and spoon on the side.
Qi Ning was a little confused. When Gu Qinghan saw him blocking the door, he glared and said, "You want me to stand at the door like this?"
Qi Ning quickly stepped aside and said with a smile: "Sanniang came over suddenly, I was a little caught off guard."
Gu Qinghan smiled brightly, entered the room, twisted her waist, and walked in gracefully. Qi Ning was about to close the door, but thought of something, and finally left the door open and walked over. Gu Qinghan took the tray He put it on the table, took the soup bowl, and scooped the soup out of the glazed porcelain jar. He didn't look back, and just said: "They came back and said, "You were eating in the restaurant, but you left in a hurry without even eating. So I cooked some soup for you, and you take a few sips while it’s hot, and I’ve asked the kitchen to have dinner early in the evening.”
As he spoke, he turned around and handed over the soup bowl. His robe was slightly faded, and the emerald bracelet on his wrist reflected the snow-white and slender wrist. It was covered with frost and covered with snow, tender and smooth, and stunningly beautiful.
