After the initial hustle and bustle, everyone gradually mastered the knack of reading text, and the speed of "translation" became faster and faster. After a few hours, the ciphertexts carved on the walls and on the ground in the seven tombs were deciphered.
Zhenwu Picture Scroll. Book Five. Soul Eater
Zhenwu Picture Scroll. Volume Four. Spiritualism
Zhenwu Picture Scroll. Volume Three. Tong Escape Technique
Zhenwu Picture Scroll. Volume Two. Raising Ghosts
Zhenwu Picture Scroll. Volume One. Circle of Light
From the last Tianshu tomb to the first shaking light tomb, each tomb recorded a kind of mystery.
Su Rui and Lao Wang interpreted the ciphertexts of the five tombs of Tianshu, Tianji, Tianquan, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. Among them, Su Rui undertook most of the translation work, and Lao Wang was responsible for most of the errands.
By rote memorization, Zi Yang and A Chong barely managed to finish the two tombs of Tianxuan and Yuheng.
The last few people gathered together in the tomb of Shaoguang to sort out all the contents. Su Rui learned from the book and remembered that, basically, after reading Zi Yang and A Chong twice, she could memorize it verbatim.
After finishing all the ciphertexts of the seven tombs, Su Rui closed his eyes and meditated, and went through all the contents in his mind again.
"How? Did you find anything?"
Su Rui shook his head, "No, I can't connect many parts of the article."
Obviously there is something missing in their work.
"What to do? Go back and check it again?" Old Wang looked back at the black hole on the wall.
"It's too late!"
Zi Yang shook his head and said, "It may take more time to check the leaks and fill in the vacancies than to read them again! We don't have so much time, and the gas mask is about to reach its limit."
Su Rui looked at the entrance of the cave outside, and a faint light came in from the door of the Great Emperor Zhenwu's tomb.
It turned out that it was already dawn!
"Let's go, go up first!"
Everyone hurriedly walked out of the tomb door and climbed the hillside. It was already early in the morning, and the golden morning sun was gradually rising from the horizon, and a thin morning mist rose in the silent Death Valley.
When everyone looked down the hillside, a light yellow-green mist began to faintly appear in the tomb door hidden in the ruins.
"Wocao! It's poisonous!" Lao Wang exclaimed.
"Go, go up high!"
Zi Yang carried Mo Lao San on his back, Lao Wang escorted Asgen, Su Rui assisted Xiao Hei and A Chong, and the group slowly marched to the top of the ridge and sat down.
"What should we do now?"
Lao Wang put up a pergola and looked at the camp across the valley, and asked Asgen politely: "Student Asgen, are there other comrades in ambush on your side?"
Asgen shook his head: "No, all the people I brought have died below."
Lao Wang gave him a sideways glance: "Why don't I hear that you are not sad at all? You are really inhuman!"
Asgen stared at him coldly, and the old Wang stared back without showing any weakness. The two stood motionless against each other. The morning breeze caused their clothes to float slightly, and the two stood facing each other solemnly on the top of the mountain. Looks like a master in a duel.
Zi Yang didn't have time to supervise the cockfighting between the two of them, and turned to ask A Chong, "Will Professor Zhang keep the staff there?"
The camp in front is the only way for them to leave Death Valley. From here to the ridge of the camp, only one person can barely pass. If Professor Zhang ambushes individuals on the other side of the mountain, they will not be able to pass even if they launch a collective charge.
A Chong shook his head: "I don't know either."
His face was pale and tired. After his arm was blown off, A Chong hadn't rested. When he rescued Zi Yang and the others, he was shot again on the shoulder. He was completely relying on a unicorn blood coagulation until now.
"Let's go, no matter whether there is anyone or not, I can only fight with my head, and I can't be afraid of being beaten and not going home."
Lao Wang and Asgen faced each other for a long time, his eyes finally got tired, and he put the gun across his chest in a gesture of being willing to go.
Several people climbed up the ridge one by one. This time Lao Wang walked first, A Chong followed Xiao Hei, Zi Yang carried Mo Lao San on his back, and Su Rui escorted Asgen to the end.
After a arduous trek, everyone finally passed through this steep mountain without any risk.
When I returned to the camp, there was no one inside, and some cans and other things were scattered in the tent.
Everyone was busy for most of the day and was a little hungry, and immediately opened the can and ate it hungrily.
Mo Lao San couldn't eat after a few bites, and was in a daze with half of the tin box left.
Lao Wang stared at him: "What? Are you used to eating mice and earthworms and not accustomed to human food?" Then he grabbed the can in his hand and ate his neck.
Mo Lao San slowly said: "I'm thinking about the Zhenwu scrolls we found in the tomb. The content we found now are just some formulas and narratives. It is hard to imagine that Professor Zhang mastered the magical secrets through these words. We must have missed something important."
Zi Yang nodded and said, "Zhen Wu scrolls, as the name suggests, they should have paintings and scrolls. How can the sticks and sticks that we see don't match these two characters?"
Mo Laosan murmured: "You're right. This Zhenwu scroll is probably divided into two volumes, Yin and Yang, with Yin as the word and Yang as the symbol. Only by combining Yin and Yang can you comprehend the profound meaning of the Zhenwu scroll. Only master one of them. It doesn’t make much sense."
Lao Wang threw the empty tin box on the ground and said impatiently: "I think the people who built this tomb were also deliberately doing things. It is also the broken dragon stone and the Beidou formation. A Zhenwu picture scroll also has a booklet. Make it clear that I don't want people to know this horrible thing."
Mo Lao San said sternly: "This Zhenwu scroll records all the Taoist's supreme secret arts. By hearing the names, many of them are forbidden arts. Obviously the tomb builders didn't want these sorceries to fall into the world, so they were in the tomb. Build institutions and set up a chain of broken dragon stones in secret."
Lao Wang said angrily: "If that's the case, don't remember it at all! No one will know if the book is burned with a torch. If this happens, the secret is not kept, and the paralysis made Laozi climb up and down for a long time."
Mo Lao San sighed, "How can we destroy the wisdom crystallization gathered from generations to generations for thousands of years?"
Lao Wang touched his chin and nodded: "I understand, this is the same as *****. The heroine is obviously ugly to death, and she is reluctant to delete it. She still has to hide it in the hard drive and take it out from time to time to participate in the research. …"
Zi Yang didn't wait for the old king to finish, and kicked him viciously, and the old king got out of the tent with a cry.
Su Rui sighed: "This senior who built the tomb did his best. He built such an exquisite tomb of the Big Dipper and set up numerous obstacles. He thought it would be foolproof. Unfortunately, he did not expect modern people to use a gas mask, stone The poisonous gas in the wall does not work. The dragon stone, which looks indestructible, can’t be used for explosives..."
"Ugh!"
Zi Yang sighed for a long time: "Sure enough, science and technology are the primary productive forces!"
Lao Wang poked his head in from outside the tent and said, "I said so much useless, are the ancient texts that we translated in the tomb really useful?"
Mo Laosan sighed: "The characters we found are probably just Yin scrolls. Yang Fu, I guess it fell into the hands of Professor Zhang. Without Yang Fu, Yin scrolls are just a pile of waste paper even if they are translated."
Lao Wang exclaimed, "Hey, how did the old pervert get the Yang Symbol?"
Mo Lao San said, "Do you still remember the statue of Emperor Zhenwu outside the tomb?"
Lao Wang was surprised: "The mystery is on there? I knew that the statue was lying at the door not serious! You said I brought it up earlier!"
Mo Lao San ignored Old Wang and continued: "Do you remember that there is an empty slot in the broken stone core of the statue?"
Zi Yang lowered his head and thought, now that he remembered it, there seemed to be a pit in the place where the statue broke, but he didn't care about it at the time. It is normal for this kind of empty stomach to appear in clay sculptures or cast statues. But the appearance of this kind of empty slot in a marble statue is a bit strange.
A Chong frowned and said, "Uncle San, what do you mean is that Professor Zhang discovered the Zhenwu scroll hidden inside after my father interrupted the statue?"
Mo Laosan nodded: "Well, the person surnamed Zhang found the Zhenwu scroll. After taking it back to study, he found that there were other secrets hidden in the tomb. Later, he came back with explosives, destroyed the mechanism in the tomb, and exploded the broken dragon stone , Deciphering the Yin Fu on the ground. I learnt the spirit of contemplation according to the content on the Zhenwu scroll.
The other secret techniques recorded on the picture scroll are dangerous to practice, so he secretly experimented on you disciples. Over the years, he estimated that he has studied these sorceries. "
After Mo Lao San finished speaking, he turned to face Asgen's direction and slowly said: "Your three brothers have become inhuman and ghostly because they have been caught in the ghost raising technique in the Kaiyang Tomb! "
