"What? Have you ever seen this font? Where have you seen it? Do you know these words? Hurry up and tell me, what does the word on the jade tablet mean? Ma Xiaoyao asked. Words * love * first * hair http://www.Klxsw.com

"I saw this kind of character in an ancient book, according to ancient records, this is an ancient script, according to legend, it was created by the immortals, so it is also called the immortal script, because this kind of text is too profound and complex, it is not easy to remember and not easy to write, so later someone studied another simple text, and gradually replaced the immortal script, and after a few years, the immortal script was completely forgotten." Ouyang Zilan said.
"Ancient writing? Created by immortals? What kind of ancient books are you reading? Even something so long ago has been recorded? It can't be made up, right? ”
"That ancient book is indeed very old, many places are broken, and I was also curious to look through it."
"Do you know this kind of writing?"
"I don't know, I just glanced at it and didn't pay attention to it."
"Is that ancient book still there?"
"It should be there, right? I saw it from a bookstore, and the book was so shabby that no one would buy it. ”
"Let's go, take me to this ancient book quickly."
……
In this way, the two hurriedly left the General Soldier's Mansion, then turned left and right, and walked into a fairly large bookstore after spending half an hour. ⊥≮ net ≤.╈
"What type of books are the two guests going to buy?" A middle-aged man greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Let's take a look." Ouyang Zilan said a perfunctory sentence casually, and then pulled Ma Xiaoyao towards the bookstore, and walked to a row of bookshelves, Ouyang Zilan stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ma Xiaoyao asked softly.
"The ancient book is gone." Ouyang Zilan stretched out her hand and pointed to the bookshelf: "The ancient book used to be placed here, but now it's gone." ”
"Will it be put somewhere else?" Ma Xiaoyao and Ouyang Zilan searched the entire bookstore, but they didn't find the ancient book.
"Shopkeeper, I used to see a very shabby ancient book on this shelf, why don't you have it now?" In the end, Ouyang Zilan had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper, that is, the middle-aged man who came forward to say hello just now.
"Oh, you said that ancient book, I threw it away."
"Thrown? Why did you throw it away? ”
"That ancient book is so broken that no one bought it at all, so I threw it away when I saw it taking up space."
"Where did you throw it? Hurry up and find out, I'll buy it. ”
"You buy?"
"Yes, I'll buy it! Hurry up and find it! ”
"Oh, I think about it...... I felt like I was thrown into the garbage...... Well, yes, it's just thrown into the garbage, I'm going to look for it, I don't know if I can find it. ≥∧.╈┭.┭c┮o╬m┼”
"You must find it, that ancient book is very important to me."
"I'll try my best."
……
After waiting for more than an hour, the shopkeeper came out of it, holding a dusty broken book in his hand: "You are lucky, if you come a day late, this book will be thrown into the furnace and burned." ”
Ouyang Zilan snatched it away, opened it and looked at it a few times: "That's right, it's this one, how much is this book, I bought it." ”
"How much is it...... shopkeeper's eyes rolled: "This book is a unique book, and it is estimated that the second book cannot be found in the entire secret realm......"
"Okay, don't be verbose, hurry up and quote." Ouyang Zilan said impatiently.
"I don't want much, just a cost price." The shopkeeper stretched out a finger: "Just a thousand taels of silver." ”
"How much?" Ouyang Zilan's eyes widened: "One thousand taels of silver? Your broken book is worth a thousand taels of silver? Why don't you rob it! ”
"I just said, this is a unique book, and I can't find a second book in the entire secret realm, since it is a unique book, it must be more expensive......"
"What a joke! Since this book is very precious, then why did you throw it into the garbage heap, and you are going to throw it into the furnace to burn, I see that you obviously want to take advantage of the fire to rob, see that we want this book, so you ask for a price, the shopkeeper, doing business is a reputation, you are not afraid of closing the door? ”
"I was joking with you, this book is a unique book, it's very precious, how could I throw her in the garbage? I was just afraid of it being damaged, so I kept it away......"
"If it's a collection, why is the book full of dust?"
"I don't usually clean much, so it's natural to get some dust. ≡⊥≦≮≧ net.╃."
"You are worthy of being a profiteer, white can be said to be black, black can be said to be white, I really admire you."
"Okay, I don't have the time to talk to you here, this book is a thousand taels of silver, do you like to buy it or not, I am reluctant to sell it."
……
Ouyang Zilan was angry, she lived so big, it was the first time she had seen such a shameless person, she sneered, and then stretched out her hand to Ma Xiaoyao: "Do you know who he is?" ”
"I don't care who he is." The shopkeeper said angrily: "Do you want to buy it or not?" If you don't buy it, leave quickly! ”
"I sue you, his name is Ma Xiaoyao, and he is the chief soldier of the White Tiger Banner." Ouyang Zilan said lightly.
"What horses are free, what are the general soldiers, I ...... Uh......" The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Ma Xiaoyao with a frightened face: "You...... You're the Commander-in-Chief......"
Ma Xiaoyao nodded expressionlessly: "I'm Ma Xiaoyao, if you don't believe it, I can show you the waist card." ≥∈≡.┮.” Speaking of this, Ma Xiaoyao took a jade plaque from his waist and shook it in front of the shopkeeper, and the jade plaque had the word "chief soldier" written on it.
"Oops...... The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive Mr. Ma. The shopkeeper was frightened, and hurriedly apologized, after all, he was just a common man, where did he dare to provoke the chief soldier.
"Shopkeeper, do business to pay attention to integrity, if you can't even do the most basic integrity, then you don't need to open this store anymore." Ma Xiaoyao said lightly.
"Yes, yes, the lesson of the chief soldier is that I must remember the word integrity in the future, and I will never dare to deceive customers again." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly.
"How much money is this book?" Ma Xiaoyao pointed to the ancient book in Ouyang Zilan's hand.
"It was my honor to come to my shop to buy books, how could I ask for your money...... This book was given to the Chief Soldier. The shopkeeper said flatteringly.
"You have to pay for things, even if I'm a general soldier." Ma Xiaoyao didn't appreciate it at all: "Say, how much is it?" ”
The shopkeeper's cheek twitched: "One ...... One or two pieces of silver...... "Where did the shopkeeper dare to ask for Ma Yaoyao's money, but he couldn't refuse, and in the end he could only quote the lowest price."
"That's ten taels of silver, it should be enough to buy this book." Ma Yao took out a handful of broken silver and threw it on the counter.
"Oh, I don't need it so much, I really don't need it that much." The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again.
"That's it, don't go back and say I'm taking advantage of you." Throwing down a sentence, Ma Xiaoyao led Ouyang Zilan out of the bookstore.
Waiting for the shopkeeper to chase him out again, Ma Xiaoyao and Ouyang Zilan had already gone away, and the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and slapped his mouth: "Let you have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, let you be greedy, let you not know what to do, now it's okay, if you provoke the general soldier, you will definitely not have a good life in the future." ”
……
People come and go on the streets, and the cries of selling come and go, which is very lively.
Ma Xiaoyao and Ouyang Zilan chatted while watching the surrounding scenery, and when they saw something they liked, they would pay for it with silver, and after a while, the two of them were full of all kinds of things in their hands, and at this time they could see the difference between the two, Ma Xiaoyao was carrying some books and weapons in his hands, while Ouyang Zilan was carrying some ornaments and clothes in his hands.
"It's funny to think about it, when the shopkeeper heard that you were the chief soldier, he almost peed his pants in fright." Ouyang Zilan said with a smile: "I can be regarded as following you once today, this feeling is really good, and I will try it when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
"That shopkeeper did go a little too far." Ma Xiaoyao snorted lightly: "Seeing that we were in a hurry to buy that ancient book, he asked for the price all over the sky, and directly regarded us as fat sheep." ”
"You're not a fat sheep, you're a tiger." Ouyang Zilan said.
"If I'm a tiger, you're a tigress."
"You're the tigress."
"Don't worry, I'll give you a slow reasoning, you just said that I am a tiger, what is the wife of a tiger? Of course, it's also a tiger, and the tigers are also gendered, I'm a male tiger, you're a female tiger, and usually, a female tiger is called a tigress. ”
"What a mess, Ma Yao, I warn you, don't call me a tigress in the future!"
For women, the word tigress is not a good word, under normal circumstances, tigress is used to describe a woman is very irritable, domineering and unreasonable.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Let's go back quickly, and then study the words on the jade tablet." ”
After the two walked around the street, they returned to the General Soldier's Mansion with large bags and small bags.
Inside the bedroom.
Ouyang Zilan put the jade piece on the table, then took out the ancient book and began to flip through it: "I found it, it is really similar to the text on the jade tablet...... It should be the same script. ”
"I'll see." Ma Xiaoyao leaned over and looked at it carefully for a while: "Well, it does look like ......" Ma Xiaoyao counted, and now there are more than 200 mysterious words recorded in ancient books, and there are annotations under each mysterious text, which are marked in ancient characters, all of which are some traditional characters, and Ma Xiaoyao can barely understand them.
Comparing the words on the ancient books, Ma Xiaoyao finally figured out the meaning of the words on the jade tablets.
The first four words on the jade piece are **separated, which are "heaven", "palace", "earth", and "map", which together are "Tiangong map".
"Map of the Heavenly Palace?" Ma Xiaoyao's eyes showed a hint of doubt: "What a big breath, it's actually called Tiangong!" Doesn't it look like this place? Zilan, have you heard of this place in the Heavenly Palace? ”
Ouyang Zilan shook her head: "I've never heard of it." ”
