Chapter 5: Mystical Prophecy
Xu Qingyun walked into the small room, "Virtual mirror, solution." www.biquge.info"He regained his original appearance. There is no ornate decoration in the room, and at the very back are two rows of large bookshelves, and near the center is the desk, and in the space in front of the table are two wooden chairs on each side. At this time, there was a sturdy man sitting on the wooden chair behind the desk, who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, he put down the official document he was reading in his hand, raised his head and looked at Xu Qingyun, in terms of physiognomy alone, he was no different from an ordinary old man, but his eyes were shining, giving people a sense of wisdom. "How's the talent survey going? What do you want to report? "That's where my subordinates come to report the results of the investigation." "Oh, the investigation is over so soon. Tell us a little bit about your investigation. "On the orders of your branch president, we have secretly inspected the situation of young talents in the southeast of our country, and we have generally gained something. In the course of a month, we surveyed a total of forty or fifty cities or towns, and since our southeast branch had jurisdiction over a total of four cities, twenty-three cities, and two hundred and fifty towns, we surveyed about one-fifth of the more important towns, so we closed the survey. The subordinates summarized all the information obtained from the investigation and recorded it in the magic notebook, and asked the branch leader to read it. The magic key to unlock it is ......" After passing the key to the old man with spiritual power, Elder Xu took out a book from his sleeve and presented it to the old man with both hands. The branch leader took the notepad, put his right hand on the paper, and used his mental power to enter the secret key to open the magic notepad, and after a quick glance, he put it in his desk drawer. "You must be a little curious, why did I let you take a special operations team and do this very simple thing, right? It looks like a bit of a knife used to kill chickens. Elder Xu hurriedly responded: "My subordinates don't dare to think like this. As for the things that shouldn't be known, the subordinates won't inquire about it. "Don't be nervous, there must be some people in the action team you lead who are curious, this is normal. The important thing is that you did a good job, so I'm going to let you move on to the next steps, so there's something you can know. "It's an honor for my subordinates! Please make it clear to the branch president. The branch president raised his right hand and waved it horizontally, and he built an enclosed space that surrounded the two of them before he began to speak. It is well known that the Magical Epoch was adopted to celebrate the great improvement of human life by magic, and the year in which the ancestors of magic discovered the elements of magic and first used magic was chosen as the first year of the Magical Calendar, and it has been 5267 years since then, and this current historical stage is called the Age of Magic, and the historical period before this is called the Age of Ages. After more than 5,000 years of continuous research and innovation, the magic system has been perfected; However, the war has also become more violent because of magic, and it has transitioned from the age of cold weapons to the age of high energy. Because of the weakness of human nature, the pursuit of profit and self-satisfaction, the struggle between good and evil will never end. Legend has it that the ancestor of magic regretted discovering magic in his old age, which caused great harm to humans, but he also understood that the imprint of magic on human life could no longer be erased. Legend has it that in order to alleviate the guilt in his heart, he fused the eight magical elements into a new magical element, space-time particles, and at the cost of his own almost immortal life, he launched the forbidden magic-space-time rotation magic, which spied on the 10,000 years of human history since his time, and wrote down the catastrophe related to the survival of mankind in the form of obscure prophecies, and passed it on to future generations, hoping to play a role. In fact, there have been different opinions about whether these legends are true or false, and no one can be sure, and most researchers have a negative attitude. I didn't believe it at first, but recently the head of the Magic Association called an emergency meeting of our eight branch presidents and showed us some information from the association's top-secret record book, and I began to believe that the myths about the prophecy were true. Hearing this, Xu Qingyun showed a surprised expression, "Is it because you really found some prophecies?" "Yes. Although there are not many prophecies found, through continuous analysis and decryption, the accuracy of some prophecies has been confirmed by history. Most importantly, we get a prophecy that is very close in time to our current year! The importance of this prophecy can be imagined! If we can fully analyze it, we can make some preliminary preparations for the coming catastrophe, but unfortunately, we only analyze the approximate time of the catastrophe from the prophecy, and there are some scattered words. "The subordinates don't understand, what is the connection between this prophecy and the investigation conducted by the subordinates?" "You must have heard of the 'Prophets of the Mandate of Heaven', it is rumored that the prophets of the Mandate of Heaven 'know the Mandate of Heaven, and the prophets will follow', so they have always been respected and have a transcendent status. Our president once took that prophecy to consult the most prestigious prophet of the Mandate of Heaven in the world, and the prophet of the Mandate of Heaven used the Celestial Hexagram to calculate and get an important message, that is, the youth will play an important role in this catastrophe. After careful consideration, we feel that the "teenager" in this sentence should refer to a genius teenager, or at least an outstanding teenager. Therefore, we decided to train more young people, and at the same time focus on cultivating those who are excellent. To do this well, the first thing to do is to investigate the situation of young talent across the country, which is why I arranged for you to do a talent survey, and other chapters should have been doing similar things recently. "My subordinates understood." "Your next important task is to be responsible for the management of the materials and intelligence of all outstanding teenagers within the jurisdiction of our Southeast Branch, as well as the liaison work of competitions, selections, training and other matters." "Yes." "There's nothing else to do, you go get busy." The branch president lifted the enclosed space, and after Xu Qingyun used the virtual image to change his appearance, he exited the small room, while the branch leader continued to review the documents. Suddenly, the ultra-long-range communication magic array placed on the table flickered, and after the branch leader clicked the button to accept the communication, a burst of white light flashed, and the upper body of an old man was projected into the air. Seeing the old man's face, the branch president immediately stood up, bent down and bowed, "Hello President!" "Hehe, President Huang is fine. I have something important to inform you today. Hearing this, President Huang immediately surrounded himself and the projection with an enclosed space. I just got the news that on September 5th, the magicians accompanying the army in the northwest frontier of our country suffered heavy losses, including nine high-level magicians, twenty-five middle-level magicians, and hundreds of junior magicians and magic apprentices. The situation was so serious that His Majesty hastened to inform the heads of the associations and organizations that an emergency meeting had been held, which I had also attended, and had told everyone about the prophecy, which had only ended not long ago. In light of the prophecy and the tragedy of the 5th, the meeting made many important decisions. One of the decisions of our association is that His Majesty will issue a decree as soon as possible announcing that the teaching of magic will be officially included in the curriculum of all public schools in the country, and that our association will order each ward to arrange for two or more personnel to go to the city-level public school in the city where it is located, and one person to the town-level public school, to teach magic courses. Please make personnel arrangements as soon as possible, and hand over the list to me before His Majesty officially promulgates the decree, thank you! "Rest assured President, I will notify the wards of this work immediately." "Okay, I'll hear from you." The president finished the communication and the projection in the air disappeared. President Huang opened the telecommunication magic array placed on the other side of the table, and sent the notice he had just received to the various wards he managed. After doing this, he lifted the enclosed space again, but instead of continuing to review the papers, he lay down in his chair and took out a magic notepad from the magic ring in his hand, turning to the last page, reading and thinking. There are only a few lines recorded on this page: three long and two short straight and straight, one stroke at a time, one hair without pulling out a thousand, and seven or four days have passed on New Year's Day. The first three lines have been cracked, and they are actually anagrams, the three words are: five, two, seven, but the fourth line of the poem stumped everyone, and no one who has seen it can guess what the word is, or go further, what the number is. Although some people proposed to make the prophecy public so that more people could solve the puzzle together, such an important secret was so important that most people thought that it should not be made public, and even if it was told to someone, that person must be proven to be trustworthy, so the proposal to make the prophecy public was rejected, otherwise it should be possible to speed up the decipherment process by relying on the power of the people of the country. Because the fourth number is missing, it is impossible to guess the specific year of the catastrophe, but the first three numbers indicate that the catastrophe will inevitably occur in the next few years, the fastest is three years, and the slowest is about ten years, so everyone is a little anxious. President Huang will look at those lines whenever he has free time, hoping that one day he will have a flash of inspiration and guess the answer. In fact, not only the magic association of Guanda country has found some prophecies handed down by the ancestors of magic, but also some organizations and associations in other countries have also collected some, the content may be the same or different, but almost everyone hides it as a top secret, tries to decipher it by themselves, rarely communicates and cooperates with each other, and basically does not share the results of the decipherment. This time, the president shared some of the messages in the prophecy at the emergency meeting, also considering that the current situation is serious and requires everyone to work together. After the meeting, everyone also made a guarantee that they would not leak the prophetic information at will. There are many undeciphered parts of this prophecy, and at least three more paragraphs can be obtained, and President Huang has recorded the complete prophecy on the last few pages of his magic notebook. Thinking of the results of the talent survey he had just browsed, a bold thought flashed through his mind, so he sent a request for ultra-remote communication to the president. Today is September 7th, and Shangguan Fenyun is very happy, because after the last class, she can take three days off and go to play freely. In the Magical Calendar, the year is divided into twelve months, every three months are a quarter, and each month has thirty days, divided into upper, middle and lower thirty days, ten days per decade, twenty-four hours a day. Guanjing Primary School's class schedule is as follows: classes are held on the first seven days of each decade, and the last three days are closed. As soon as school ended, Shangguan Fenyun ran away, and after Zheng Yi said hello to Huang Xuanmian, he also went home happily. Huang Xuanmian read a book in his seat for a while, and when he saw that it was a little late, he got up and went home. After dinner, he went back to his room, plunged into the stacks of books, and read them with relish. In fact, most of the books are not his, they are borrowed from others, because he talks about credit and cherishes books, so everyone is willing to lend him books. Looking at an old yellowed book, he suddenly found that the page he was looking at was a little strange, he felt that the paper on this page was twice as thick as the paper on other pages, and most people would not care too much, but Huang Xuanmian liked to study problems, so he decided to find out if there was any special reason. Look closely at the surface and find nothing; I looked at the paper against the light, but I found nothing; The edges of the paper were observed, and no signs were found that the paper could be divided into two layers; For further analysis, you can dip it with water or other liquids, or tear the paper apart, but thinking that this is someone else's property, Huang Xuanmian had no choice but to give up. He continued to read the book until twelve o'clock before going to bed.
