Chapter 527: Jizo Scroll
Mr. Liao said: "It is rumored that this Ying Ping monk not only has unparalleled music and rhythm, but also calligraphy is rare. www.biquge.info He is a strange person, he has a strange sound, and his way of doing things is even stranger. After a pause, he said, "My friend said that Shadow Ping has traveled all year round and made some friends, and he used the secret shadow character to communicate with those friends. ”
"Could it be that this secret shadow word was invented by the Shadow Ping Layman?" Qi Ning was a little surprised.
Of course, he knew that the invention of writing was not a simple matter.
Mr. Liao nodded and said: "It is rumored that this is the case, it is said that the shadow monk and a group of people invented the secret shadow character, and later the letters were exchanged, and this secret shadow character was used, this kind of word is very rare, and the people who use it are very rare, just like a secret code." ”
Qi Ning nodded slightly, this secret shadow character looks very beautiful, but it seems very repetitive, like a rune, the circulation of words, the simpler it is, the more it can be introduced to people, like this kind of text, it is not passed on by people, that is also a reasonable thing.
"Originally, this kind of secret shadow character was difficult to be recognized, but an ancestor who was with Yingping lay people back then liked this secret shadow character very much, regarded it as a game, and specially wrote an introduction to the secret shadow character, which was later included in an ancient book." Mr. Liao said with a smile: "There are not many such hand-copied ancient books that have been handed down, and my friend said that there are only a hundred copies at most, and he just included one." ”
Qi Ning thought to himself that he was really lucky, and the bookkeeper actually found out the clues.
Mr. Liao handed over the piece of paper in his hand, Qi Ning took it, and Mr. Liao had already said: "The secret shadow character written by Master Hou is a 'hidden' word!" ”
"Hidden?"
Mr. Liao nodded and said, "There is no mistake, I have checked again and again to confirm it." ”
Qi Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Can Mr. Liao borrow your friend's hand-copied ancient book for a few days?" ”
Mr. Liao smiled: "Master Hou doesn't need to borrow. He took out a copy from his bosom, "That hand-copied ancient book is a regular anomaly for my friend, and it is impossible for me to borrow it." I pleaded with him again and again, and invited him to two meals, and he finally agreed that I should transcribe the manuscript, and it took me two days to copy it all word for word. Presented to Qi Ning: "If Master Hou needs it, just accept it." ”
Qi Ning was overjoyed, and secretly thought that this old gentleman was really thoughtful in his work, took the ancient book, flipped through a few pages, and sure enough, it was newly copied, and said: "Mr. Liao, you take care of the account room by yourself, and you will receive fifty taels of silver on the account, which will be regarded as your reward." ”
Mr. Liao hurriedly said, "Thank you, Master Hou." He arched his hand and said: "If the Hou Ye has any other orders, just show them." ”
Qi Ning smiled: "You go and rest first, if there is something, I will naturally look for you." When the gentleman had retreated, he hurried back to his yard, went in the door, closed the door, reached the head of the bed, lowered himself, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, and then he used his cold blade to pry open a brick at the head of the wall, and took out the scroll hidden in it.
He made sure that the doors and windows were closed, it was still early in the morning, so he didn't need to light the lamp, sat down at the table, and gently unfolded the scroll, everything was as before, the scroll itself was a little yellow, and the top of himself was clear, the first left was the three larger secret shadow characters, followed by the strange runes that were densely packed like piles of ants.
If the three characters on the left hand still look like handwriting, then the dense runes behind them don't look like words at all, but like pictures.
Qi Ning knew that this scroll was very important, Zhuo Qingyang didn't care about his life in order to protect this scroll, and Jiang Suiyun's purpose of approaching Zhuo Qingyang seemed to be for this scroll.
Qi Ning now knows that there is a dark shadow behind Jiang Suiyun and Yan Lingxian, if the guess is correct, what Jiang Suiyun did was, of course, the shadow instigated.
The scroll that many people have worked so hard to get their hands on is certainly not an ordinary thing.
It's just that he was a little curious in his heart, but what Mr. Liao said today made Qi Ning think, could it be that this scroll has something to do with the Ying Ping monk back then?
The Secret Shadow Word was only spread in a small area back then, and it was centered on the Shadow Ping Layman, and the first three words of this scroll were the Secret Shadow Word, if it had nothing to do with the Shadow Ping Monk, it would be a ghost.
Qi Ning opened the first three words of the scroll, and opened the hand-copied ancient book, this secret shadow word does have a detailed introduction in the second half of the hand-copied ancient book, and gives a way to identify the secret shadow word, in fact, if some things are not broken, they will feel extremely complicated, but if you grasp the trick, it is indeed easy to identify.
In this manuscript, not only does it explain the method of the secret shadow character, but also the vine lists the secret shadow character on a full three pages, which is compared with the popular text of the time, Qi Ning is immersed in it, and it is also coincidental that the second word that is listed is exactly the same as the first word of the scroll, and looking at the introduction on the manuscript, it turned out to be a "earth" character.
Previously, what Mr. Liao identified was the second character, which was the word "Tibet", and the two words were connected before and after, and it was the word "Tibet".
Qi Ning was taken aback.
He is very familiar with this Jizo, starting from the old house of the Qi family, Jizo is like a wandering spirit entangled around Qi Ning's side, and Xichuan is also rumored that the Jizo party is waiting for an opportunity to rebel.
The first two words of this scroll are Jizang, Da Chu Qining's surprise, frowned, and secretly thought that this scroll has something to do with Xichuan Jizang?
But when I think about it, I think it's not very likely, maybe it's just a coincidence.
This scroll has been yellowed, the material is special, it is by no means a thing of ten or twenty years, it is obviously an ancient scroll that has been handed down for a long time.
Qi Ning groaned, did not delay, continued to look for the third word in the ancient scroll, many of these secret shadow words look extremely similar, you can be confused if you are not careful, every stroke must be carefully checked, to the second page, Qi Ning finally saw that there is really a word that can correspond, sure, Qi Ning frowned, muttered: "Jizo spectrum!" ”
The first three characters of this volume are the three characters of the Jizo spectrum.
Qi Ning only listened to the name, and thought to himself that there was a music score on this ancient scroll, but he felt a little unbelievable, and secretly thought that what Zhuo Qingyang protected at the cost of his life was actually a music score? Jiang Suiyun exhausted his mind and thought to get it, but it was also such a score?
He immediately thought that the Shadow Ping Monk was rumored to be a peerless music law master who was unparalleled in the world, and the secret shadow word was closely related to the Shadow Ping Monk, if this was really a piece of music, it was really reasonable.
Qi Ning touched his forehead, only to feel that his head was as big as a fight.
When he first got this ancient scroll, he always felt that it was extremely important, and he had also made all kinds of speculations, thinking that this ancient scroll was likely to contain a set of mysterious and powerful peerless martial arts formulas, and whether it was possible that this scroll would inform the whereabouts of the treasure, and even wondered if there was a shocking secret hidden in it.
But in the end, it didn't occur to me that the Elder Scrolls was likely to be a musical score.
As soon as he thought that this was a piece of music, Qi Ning was a little excited.
Qi Ning also understands that for people who like music and rhythm, a peerless score is of course extremely precious, but for a person like Qi Ning who is not very interested in music and rhythm, even the most precious music score, he can't be too interested.
Thinking that Zhuo Qingyang risked his life and Jiang Suiyun and his people went to great lengths to attack, just for a piece of music, Qi Ning felt a little funny in his heart.
He was about to roll up the ancient scroll, but suddenly it occurred to him that although the name was Jizo Score, it seemed to be a music score, but he was not sure that the content in it was really a music score, and besides, even if it was really a music score, it may not be that there were no secrets hidden in it, and it was time to find out if these strange runes were tunes.
Zhuo Qingyang's whereabouts are unknown, Qi Ning has no clues, and he doesn't know whether Zhuo Qingyang is dead or alive, just hoping to find some clues from this scroll.
He knew that this ancient scroll must not be seen by a second person other than himself, otherwise he might get into trouble, so he pondered, so he repeated the trick, took a pen and paper, and copied a strange rune of the ancient scroll on the paper again, thinking about finding someone to ask in this mansion.
He was only afraid that if there was a slight clerical error, it would be difficult for others to identify, so he was extremely careful with his pen, and did not dare to have the slightest negligence, and after a long time, he finally copied one of the passages, which was the same as the original, and he was satisfied, but at this time, he heard a knock on the door, Qi Ning was slightly taken aback, just afraid that someone would see the scroll, no matter who it was, and shouted: "Wait a minute." He quickly rolled up the scroll, hid it in the wall, filled it with bricks, stuffed the hand-copied book under the quilt, put the paper he had copied into his sleeve, and made sure that there was no flaw, and then he went to the door and asked, "Who is it?" ”
I only heard a soft and pleasant voice say: "It's me, Ning'er, open the door!" But it was Gu Qinghan's voice.
Qi Ning didn't expect Gu Qinghan to take the initiative to come to his yard, open the door, as soon as the door opened, the fragrance was fragrant, accompanied by the swaying skirt, the ring was tinkling, the bright and moving Gu Qinghan appeared in front of him, a jade-colored Luo shirt, a water-red gauze skirt, a graceful body, graceful and feminine, but in his hand he was holding a small tray, a glazed porcelain jar, and a soup bowl and spoon on the side.
Qi Ning was a little puzzled, Gu Qinghan saw him blocking in front of the door, glared, and said, "Just let me stand at the door like this?" ”
Qi Ning hurriedly got out of the way and said with a smile: "Sanniang came over suddenly, I was a little caught off guard. ”
Gu Qinghan smiled, bright and incomprehensible, entered the house, twisted his waist, and walked in with a graceful demeanor, Qi Ning was about to close the door easily, thinking of something, he finally let the door open, and walked over, Gu Qinghan put the tray on the table, took the soup bowl, scooped the soup from the glazed porcelain jar himself, and didn't look back, just said: "A few of them came back and said that you were originally eating in the restaurant, but you left in a hurry, and you didn't even eat, so I cooked the soup for you myself, you drink a few sips while it's hot, and I have asked the kitchen to eat earlier in the evening." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and handed over the soup bowl, Luo's shirt faded slightly, and the jade bracelet on his wrist reflected the snow-white and slender Hao wrist, deceiving the frost and stuffing the snow, delicate and smooth, and the beauty was amazing.
