After listening to Yang Ye's words, Gu Liang hung the camera back around his neck, put away the notebook under his arm, pinned the signature pen to the front of his clothes, and continued to search on this floor.
During this period, Gu Liang said: "We thought that the page on the treasure list that talked about the function of the sundial was torn off by the murderer. But now it seems that if there is a time-traveling situation, it may actually be the wind fairy A who tore it up. of."
Yang Yedao: "If this is the case, then the place where Aunt Feng Xiangu met the murderer may happen to be the Nine-Storied Pagoda. Aunt Feng Xiangu tore off the half-page paper and hid it somewhere. Then she went to the appointment, was killed, and her body was hidden in the beam superior."
"This means... this piece of paper is actually probably inside the nine-storied pagoda."
"Further imagine, if there are no special circumstances, the murderer doesn't actually need to move the body, and he doesn't want to disguise the scene of the crime... Then it is actually possible that the place they agreed to is the third floor of the nine-storied pagoda."
"Feng Xiangu first went to the second floor to tear up the directory, and then came to the third floor to attend the appointment. She must have hidden the piece of paper before the appointment. Then, this piece of paper is probably on the second to third floors. We searched for the second floor. After a while, there shouldn't be any. Then it should be—"
Before Yang Ye finished speaking, Gu Liang said, "I found it."
Yang Ye followed the sound and walked to Gu Liang's side, "So fast?"
Immediately Yang Ye looked forward and realized the reason why Gu Liang was able to find the piece of paper so quickly.
— In front of him is a large wooden frame with square grids, filled with treasure chests.
Of course, like the second floor, some treasure chests are made of translucent glass, while others are completely opaque, making it impossible to see the contents inside.
But all treasure chests have one thing in common, they are clean and tidy.
It seems that Fairy Xue spends a lot of effort in taking care of this place.
And now there is a box that is a little bit askew.
Although only a little bit, it is not difficult to deduce that someone has lifted it.
Likely, the man lifted it just to hide a piece of paper under it.
It's just that after the person put down the treasure chest, he didn't put it completely upright, so that it tilted a little.
Sure enough, after Gu Liang stepped forward to lift up the treasure box, there was a piece of paper there, which was the half-page that had been torn off.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them passed this piece of paper together and got specific instructions about the [Magical Sundial].
It has to be said that this manual is a bit beyond the two people's expectations.
It is estimated that the system is out of friendliness. Whether it is the Xuanji stone or the Yuheng pen, the manuals are written in relatively vernacular, which is easy to understand.
So is this one.
I saw the words on it: "According to the predictions made by the most powerful fortune-teller in Qingqiong, Qingqiong may encounter a great crisis. And this crisis may lead to the overthrow of Qingqiong. Therefore, the ancestors of Qingqiong went through a lot of hardships and made Out of the [Magical Sundial], trying to give Qing Qiong a chance."
"The sundial has the function of stopping time, and it can be used as a magic weapon to defeat the enemy. For example, when facing the enemy, when the speed of the move is not as fast as that of the opponent, the sundial can be used to stop time for a moment and win the battle against the enemy."
"Note that the sundial can only suspend time for a maximum of half a quarter of an hour. Those who use the sundial are not limited by the time suspension."
"After using it, the time immediately jumps to the normal time point. Ordinary people only feel the sense of time jumping, as if they lost half a quarter of an hour in a trance. Therefore, this small function of the sundial will not affect time and time." normal course of history."
"The above is just a small function of the sundial. The real use of the magical sundial is that it can take everyone back to the previous day at the same time. Therefore, at the moment of crisis, the people of Qingqiong can use the sundial to go back in time and go back to the day before , to change the ending of Qing Qiong's destruction."
"Of course, history cannot be changed. Rewinding time and changing the past point in time has actually opened up a new time and space. At that time, the blue sky of this time and space will still be overthrown, but the blue sky of another time and space, Maybe it can survive... ”
"Four heads, one head, and three fairies, these eight people are the core management force of Qingqiong. Each candidate for these eight positions will be awarded the title of "Princess" on the day when he takes office and assumes responsibility. A special imprint. This imprint is engraved in the palm of your hand."
"The moment the time is turned back through the sundial, the eight people with the imprint on their palms will go back to the past together."
"I hope these eight people can work together with the eight people in the past, that is, with your other self, to change the future."
"These eight managers constitute the core management of Qingqiong, and they have the most powerful power in Qingqiong. Then... if the eight people in the past failed to save the situation, Qingqiong went to destruction. But this time the sixteen people Added together, maybe it will be different... "
"The sundial is filled with all the magic power of the ancestors. After going back in time and space once, this power will completely disappear in the world. Therefore, the sundial can only be used once, and all of us have only one chance to start over."
After reading this explanation, Yang Ye and Gu Liang looked at each other for a long time.
In fact, they guessed the function of the sundial, which is related to the backward flow of time and space.
Even through this explanation, the script directly told the player that there is a parallel time and space in this script.
Therefore, the two Wind Fairies are actually two Wind Fairies in time and space, which is also in line with their imagination just now.
Again, there is a key point in the instructions - the sundial can only be used once.
Someone used a sundial to go back in time, which led to the birth of a parallel time and space, but the sundial of this new time and space can no longer be used as a tool for going back in time, because the magic power of the Qingqiong ancestors has disappeared.
This can be understood as the system is set to help the player reduce the difficulty and eliminate the possibility of multiple times of reversing time and space, which also eliminates many interference items.
Therefore, it is certain that time has only flown backwards once, and only a new space-time has been produced.
In other words, there are only two parallel time-spaces in this script, not a complex situation where multiple time-spaces coexist.
Gu Liang and Yang Ye's previous speculation on this was actually correct.
Now a very critical problem, beyond the imagination of Yang Ye and Gu Liang, is that they thought that only Feng Xiangu had crossed.
But according to this manual, it is the moment when the sundial turns back the time, and the eight managers travel together.
In other words, no matter who is using this sundial to make it reverse time, as long as time and space are reversed, the eight managers will go back to the past together, not just the person who used it.
After a long time, Yang Ye couldn't help asking Gu Liang: "Did you hold the inauguration ceremony when you became the head?"
"Yes." Gu Liang said, "In Qingyun Palace, they used some kind of Qingqiong holy water to draw a mark on my hand."
Yang Yedao: "When everyone is the head of the sect, or the chief seat, including the elders, they will use holy water to draw a mark on their hands. It turns out that this ceremony has a special meaning. This mark allows people to follow the magical sundial. So in fact... "
"After my reincarnation, I look the same as before, but I have a new body, and my palms have not received the imprint. Therefore, it is impossible for me to pass through. It is only possible that you eight managers, influenced by the magical sundial, came to It's my time and space."
"So Liangliang..." Yang Ye suddenly thought of something interesting, looked at Gu Liang, and asked, "Which time and space are you from Liangliang?"
Gu Liang narrowed his eyes. "How do I feel... What strange things have you imagined?"
Yang Ye smiled: "You know me so well now?"
Gu Liang raised his chin and looked at him: "Tell me."
Yang Ye: "I was wondering if there would be two Gu Liangliang in this time and space. Both Liangliang like my kind. Then I will hold one in my left hand and the other in my right... that would be so interesting. Liangliang, you Will you eat your own vinegar?"
Gu Liang stared at Yang Ye coldly for a long time, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said lightly: "Oh, I have traveled here. Yesterday in another time and space, I kissed Yang Ye over there."
"—Hey cool?! No way!"
"Oh, you will eat your own vinegar?"
Yang Ye immediately gave Gu Liang a thud, and his voice sank. "I'm just trying to make up my mind, don't learn from me!"
Gu Liang pushed him away, picked up the camera and took a picture of the instruction manual: "It's good to know. You can honestly search for evidence."
Yang Ye put away his joking expression, and said seriously, "Okay, no kidding. Speaking of which, you don't know about time travel at all, and you haven't met another self?"
Gu Liang shook his head. "I don't know about this. Maybe there will be another me coming, but I haven't seen it. I always feel... this matter should not be true. Although the script space is large, it is also limited, and it is not possible to hide so many People. Even corpses... weird anyway. But anyway, in case there's another me—"
Having said that, Gu Liang stared at Yang Ye, "Don't admit your mistake."
Yang Ye said solemnly: "I will not admit my mistake. I only have one Gu Liangliang in my eyes. You are the only one."
"You'd better not admit your mistake." Gu Liang glanced at Yang Ye, who opened his mouth to talk love, then turned and left, "Separate up and search again, and then we go to another floor."
After leaving the third floor, Gu Liang and Yang Ye reached the fourth floor.
The organ on the fourth floor involves the rhythm. There is an ancient chime bell next to it, and there is a music score next to it. The music score needs to be deciphered according to the rhythm, which involves Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu.
Gu Liang knew nothing about music, so he handed it over to Yang Ye to decipher.
Yang Ye studied the password to open the door. Gu Liang was fine anyway, so he just flipped through the "Treasure List".
What imprint was mentioned in the manual just now, Gu Liang vaguely remembered that when he was looking through the roster before, he saw this imprint somewhere and mentioned it, so he searched it carefully, wanting to confirm it.
After a while, Gu Liang also found the treasure record that mentioned the imprint.
That record actually tells a short story.
It is said that three hundred years ago, the chieftain of Qingqiong went down the mountain to eliminate demons and made great achievements, but he ended up with a disabled hand and foot. Simply his lover does not dislike him, and is still willing to marry him.
After Tu Shouzuo married his lover, he proposed to retire. He hoped to stay away from the storm and live a peaceful life with his wife.
After discussing with the rest of the chief seat, the elders and the head, they agreed to his plan.
So this person left Qingqiong.
Before leaving, a ceremony of washing hands with a golden basin was held for the chieftain.
When he took office as the head of the soil, the elders poured holy water on his hands and carved a special mark.
Now that he abdicated and washed his hands with holy water, he washed away the imprint of the chief seat.
Tushouzuo finally left with his wife, and the headman gave him the treasure "Xianguai" to help the disabled him stand up again.
This record in the "Treasure Register" actually records the whereabouts of treasures such as "Xianguai", and mentions the story of the Tushouzuo by the way.
But from this story, Gu Liang got a very important message, that is, the imprint on the palm of the hand can be removed.
Based on the instruction manual just now, Gu Liang got an idea—would it be possible that people who have removed the imprint would not be affected by the sundial and not come to this time and space
At this moment, Yang Ye rang the chime bell and turned on the mechanism.
But after entering, the two didn't gain much.
Gu Liang took out the card and looked at the time, and always felt that the time to search for evidence was very tight this time.
He looked up at the rest of the tower floor, and asked Yang Ye: "Do you still remember where the Xuanji Stone was first placed? It was taken out and put behind the waterfall."
Yang Yedao: "The ninth floor."
Gu Liang thought for a while: "Why don't we go there and have a look first."
"Well. Go straight up."
Yang Ye naturally took Gu Liang's hand and went up, "There are many stairs, if you can't walk, I will hug you."
Gu Liang: "If you can't walk, I can hug you."
"you can?"
"I can."
"Liangliang, have I ever told you that you look so cute when you don't understand the style?"
"...not Yang Ye, I said you are really..."
"This is not glib, this is flirting. Saying a few words of love from time to time can enhance our relationship."
"Are you saying 'from time to time', just saying 'two sentences'?"
"I think the coolness is still useful. You can see that your face is flushed."
"Go upstairs for me!"
After entering the ninth floor, Gu Liang's first reaction was that this floor was very empty.
The higher you go up the tower, the more precious things are placed.
Probably for this reason, there is almost nothing in the ninth floor tower.
The Xuanji stone is very large. When it was still in the nine-storied pagoda, it was probably the only heavy item here.
Now all that remained of the empty hall was a large black stone platform with a groove on it, which was now covered with dust.
It seems that the former Xuanji stone is embedded in this groove.
Gu Liang took a closer look, only to find that there were words on the stone platform.
The three words "Xuanji Stone" at the head indicate that the Xuanji Stone was indeed placed here.
And there is a line of words below, which seems to have some deep meaning.
That line of words is - "Xuanji Stone can predict the future because it stands outside of time and space."
Xuanji Stone is outside of time and space, does it mean that it is not affected by the backflow of time and space
Gu Liang frowned and stared at the line, lost in thought.
Then he heard Yang Ye's voice. "Come here Liangliang, here is a stone that can automatically record all the words that have appeared on the Xuanji Stone."
Hearing this, Gu Liang immediately walked to Yang Ye's side.
It is a stone located in the middle of the tower. Its surface is very smooth, like jade, and its material is very similar to Xuanji stone.
There is a stele in front of this stone, on which it is written: "There are two pieces of Xuanji stone, one is Yin and the other is Yang. The Yang stone can predict, and the Yin stone is only used for recording. All those who have appeared on the Yang stone The Yinshi will keep records of past predictions. Swipe the Yinshi to read it.”
Gu Liang immediately put his finger on the Yinshi and slid it.
Sure enough, one content after another appeared on it, which looked like a giant tablet.
Gu Liang flipped through the text all the way to the end, reaching the point where he couldn't continue to flip down.
That means, here are some of the latest prophecies.
After reading these prophecies, Gu Liang and Yang Ye were undoubtedly both surprised and confused.
These prophecies are respectively—
"The evil apprentice will become Qing Qiong's ninety-first master."
"Tu Shouzuo will become the ninety-first head of Qing Qiong."
"Mu Shouzuo will become Qing Qiong's ninety-first master."
"Jin Shouzuo will become the ninety-first leader of Qing Qiong."
Gu Liang didn't know why, but when he saw these prophecies, he felt a chill in his heart.
These prophecies have all appeared on the Xuanji Stone. Those who have been to the waterfall, which prophecy did they see
Among them, which prophecies were calculated by Xuanji Stone according to the causal chain, and which ones were written by Yuheng pen
The author has something to say:
Yang Ye: If you plant one Gu Liangliang in spring, you will reap many Gu Liangliang in autumn.
Gu Liang poured a basin of water down. "Wake me up."
Gu Liang: If one day my mind jumps out and becomes a sand sculpture, it must be brought by Yang Ye!
