Ye Xun shook his head lightly and said: "Gods and Demons, who has ever seen gods and demons, the Immortal Demon Cemetery is just a statement of the hand of the gods, and the statement of the master is the place where the gods are buried." In my master's opinion, there is no clear boundary between gods and demons, who is a god and who is a demon? In his opinion, the immortals and demons in Chinese mythology are too fake, and the gods and demons in Greek mythology are real. ”

I also discussed the difference between Greek and Chinese mythology when I was in school.

In Greek mythology, the gods were more humane, but the Chinese gods and goddesses occupied the mainstream. This is inextricably linked to the cultural foundations of the two countries.

Greek culture was liberal, loose, blood-conscious and chaotic. Divine power was more like a tool for them to do as they pleased, powerful, indulgent, unscrupulous, using mortals as captive slaves, or even becoming part of the game of the gods, which was the characteristic of the Greek gods.

The people of China, however, prefer order, personal improvement, and man will win the day. That's why there are more and more realistic people in the immortal class. However, after becoming immortals, they have more constraints. Stay away from the world, adhere to the rules of immortals, try not to intersect with mortals, occasionally take care of the injustices in the world, and leave a legend and then drift away, which is the characteristic of Chinese immortals.

Ye Xun's master is talking about gods and demons, not immortals and demons. This shows that he has a speculation about the existence of the cemetery - that is, the gods buried under the yellow sand are not from China.

In ancient times, the desert was the intersection of China and the foreign lands, and the gods and demons buried there may have come from foreign lands.

I hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ye Xun, did your master mention the origin of the gods and demons?"

Ye Xun shook his head and said, "No, my master is very secretive about the matter of gods and demons burying bones, and he is never willing to say anything! ”

When I looked at Li Kitten with hope, the latter was also shaking his head: "There is no record of the gods and demons cemetery, not even a record of word of mouth. We just go to a fixed place every year, waiting for the previous Yingqi to take us to the cemetery. ”

I suddenly said, "Where is your joint?"

Li Xiaomei said: "Just where you set off into the desert, as long as we arrive there in advance and leave a mark, Yingfu will come over." I haven't entered Tianshakou, so I don't know what secrets Yingqi has left behind. ”

I roughly estimated the time, and it has been almost half a month since the ninth day of September.

I suddenly had a bad premonition in my heart: "You mean, Yingfu didn't come to pick you up this time?"

"That's right!" Li Xiaomei said: "No matter whether the new generation of Yingfu comes or not, the previous generation of Yingfu will rush to the town on the ninth day of September every year, and will never miss the appointment." Unless, something unexpected happens. ”

When Li Kitten looked at me, my face couldn't help but change slightly.

Si Ruo broke a Tiansha mouth;

The glow confusion that should have appeared did not appear;

If it was Si Ruo and Yingfu who met, I couldn't help but beat a spirit, and looked at Ye Xun with a pale face, but the latter seemed to know nothing, took out the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

With Ye Xun's cleverness, it's impossible not to guess what I'm thinking. He didn't say anything, because he didn't want to suspect Si Ruo for no reason and put me in a dilemma in advance, but if it was ......

Although Ye Xun only told me that Yingfu was a branch of his master's sect. However, judging from the degree of familiarity between him and Li Xiaomei, the mountain gate of the two factions will not be too far away, and it may even be like the Quanzhen Sect and the Tomb Sect in the novel, which are in the position of the front mountain and the back mountain. Otherwise, Ye Xun would not have been a childhood sweetheart with Li Kitten, and the two had no guesses.

Perhaps, the head of Yingfu and Ye Xun's master......

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I could only pray that Si Ruo would never bump into that one in four probability.

When I was lowering my head and smoking, Dr. Bai walked in quickly: "Wang Huan, you come with me!"

Dr. Bai must have made an important discovery in such a hurry, so I quickly got up and walked into the laboratory with her, Dr. Bai pointed to the screen and said, "The iron plate you brought back is not just one way to combine......

Only then did I realize that each of the iron plates I found was in the style of a four-sided card slot, that is, any iron plate could be placed at will. Moreover, the pattern on each iron plate can be painted independently. In this way, the way in which the iron plates are combined will increase by geometric multiples. The difficulty of cracking the wordless book will also expand indefinitely, and it is difficult to crack the wordless book in a short period of time with only manpower.

I was frowning, but Dr. Bai continued: "When I tried to scan the iron plate just now, I found that this wordless heavenly book is a picture-in-picture, and there is a picture hidden on the iron plate. ”

Dr. Bai pulled up an image: "Look, this is the picture-in-picture that we scanned. ”

The picture on that picture seems to be full of gods and Buddhas, the painting is extremely exquisite, and the faces of the gods and Buddhas are not only vivid, but also very spiritual. However, I didn't feel the slightest sense of Zen, but felt a strong sense of craftsmanship. The person who painted this picture of the Immortal Buddha must be a master of painting, but he may not believe in Buddhism. Therefore, there is only craftsmanship and no Zen rhyme in the whole painting.

Ren Tianqing said in a low voice: "Why do I seem to have seen this painting somewhere?"

When Ren Tianqing said this, I also felt that the picture scroll on the iron plate seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. While I was thinking about it, Dr. Bai said again, "Look here!"

When I looked at the screen, my eyes lit up - a map appeared on the screen.

I stood up and said, "This is also scanned?"

As soon as I spoke, my heart was half cold, and the map was clearly not a desert, but the interior of some kind of large building.

Dr. Bai didn't hear the disappointment in my words: "This is the third picture-in-picture, and if we stumble upon a deep scan, we wouldn't have been able to find out if the map existed." But ......"

Dr. Bai changed his tone and said, "However, I have to say that this map may be meaningless. ”

Dr. Bai kept pressing the remote control, and the map on the screen began to change, and every room marked on the map could be connected together at will, and there was no disobedience. This means that the map scanned from the iron plate can change endlessly, and with the fact that we have one less iron plate, the changes in it are even more inexplicable.

The wordless book does not mean that it is uncrackable, otherwise, you will lose the consciousness of leaving a book.

But what do these pictures represent?

When I was puzzled, Ren Tianqing suddenly said, "Bring me a brush, Dr. Bai, you put the picture over from the beginning." ”

When Dr. Bai adjusted the picture again, Ren Tianqing took a brush and drew on the white paper. At first, I didn't know what Ren Tianqing was drawing, but after a while, I realized that she was drawing a map on the screen, but she replaced the room with ink dots and the corridor with horizontal and vertical ones. After Ren Tianqing drew a few pictures, I realized that the pattern she drew looked like some unknown text.

Ren Tianqing took a few photos in a row before putting down the pen and said: "It's a pity that there is a piece of iron plate missing! ”

I looked at the picture and said, "What kind of text is this?"

Ren Tianqing shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before!"

I know that Ren Tianqing is very interested in ancient characters, and he has also done further training. At that time, I also asked her why she had to study those obscure things.

Ren Tianqing told me: I only have skills, and I can't make it to the god list. A good detective is not only powerful, but also knowledgeable. Being able to read the ancient characters in the forbidden area of mythology may save your life. At that time, Ren Tianqing also said that whoever can crack the "Red Cliff Book of Heaven" will have to marry him even if she chases him backwards.

Ren Tianqing bit the tip of the pen and said, "You see, these incomplete words don't look like the Red Cliff Heavenly Book?"

Red Cliff Book is a kind of mysterious symbol hidden in the hinterland of Guizhou Xiajia Mountain, those symbols are not carved or chiseled, no nicks, just like being written on the rock wall, but after countless years of wind and rain, it is still the same, the color is particularly new, as long as it is presented in front of people, it will make people feel endless mystery.

Scholars have identified the Red Cliff Book as an ancient script, but no one has been able to decipher the meaning of the text, or even determine the exact date of its writing. The Red Cliff Book of Heaven is therefore famous all over the world.

I used to read the Red Cliff Book with Ren Tianqing, and the words she wrote now, although they are somewhat similar to the Red Cliff Book of Heaven, make people feel plausible.

As I was looking at the text, Dr. Bai suddenly said, "This is not the Red Cliff Heavenly Book, I know where it comes from. This text is from Dunhuang. ”

I turned my head abruptly and said, "How do you know?"

Dr. Bai searched for a while in the database before he called up a piece of information: "See for yourself!"

When I saw the pictures on the screen, I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. It was obviously a book on the wall with ancient characters, and a few of the words were exactly the same as what Ren Tianqing had written, and what was even more strange was that those words were either missing corners or missing a piece in the middle.

I suddenly realized: "It turns out that there are only eight iron plates, and Ren Tianqing can't write all the ancient texts, not because there is a missing iron plate, but because the ancient characters on the iron plates are missing." Where did you get that?"

Dr. Bai took a deep breath and said, "This text comes from a scholar, and it can also be said that he is a prisoner. He brought back the most precious materials, but he was also sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide. ”

Dr. Bai said: "That person's name is Fan Chongyi, and it can be said that he is a generation of geniuses in the archaeological field. When he was sentenced, many scholars expressed regret, and his leadership of the Dunhuang Tianshu research project was terminated. Is this a loss? Just like the one you see, Dr. Fan named it the Book of Broken Characters. He originally thought that there would be a major discovery after cracking the Book of Heaven, but unfortunately, he went to prison before he could crack the Book of Heaven. ”
