Chapter Twenty-Eight: Cracking
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that Liu Yang tried the evil art he learned for the first time, and he was overjoyed. The next day, Qi Gao, who returned to Kunming City, invited Mu Qingming, who had finished work, back to his home, and handed over the Buddha bone relics that Mu Qingming had asked him to find. At the same time, Qi Gao also gave Mu Qingming a piece of copper that he picked up himself, mistakenly thinking it was a copper piece engraved with tantric scriptures. I never thought that what was engraved on it was the ciphertext of the Immortal Dao. drew out Mu Qingming and Qi Gao asked for the copper piece, but Qi Gao didn't care, and agreed without hesitation. Mu Qingming, who couldn't wait, declined Qi Gao's request to keep him down for dinner, and hurried home, asking for a wonderful pen to see if the copper piece could crack the ciphertext on it. 】
The wind outside the house was not so strong and the rain was lighter.
The water droplets that continue to drip from the eaves are not as dense as before.
It's just that the dark clouds in the sky still cover the entire sky so tightly, and the dark ground is still cold and damp.
"Then since this thing is worthless, and of course it's useless for me to hold it." In the main room, Qi Gao naturally didn't think much about it when he heard Mu Qingming's words, and he didn't hesitate to take it: "If you like it, you can take it, but do you see any doorways from above?" ”。
After saying this, Qi Gao looked at Mu Qingming holding it in his hand, and looked at the copper sheet, with a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
From last night's discovery of this copper piece to today, he Qi Gao has also looked at this copper piece seven or eight times, in addition to a lot of strange words engraved on it, he Qi Gao can't understand it, he can't see what is the way to this copper piece, but he just thinks that it seems to be Sanskrit.
But then again, even if the copper plate engraved on this piece is not Sanskrit, but just ordinary Chinese characters, he Qi Gao doesn't recognize a few.
Therefore, he just wanted to buy an antique in the past, which was also to sell some gold, silver, jade and ceramics, which could be bought at will. But he didn't make any decisions about this calligraphy and painting.
In Qi Gao's own words, that is, he can't understand the good or bad anyway, and he bought it for nothing.
It's his wife, who used to like to read books, and naturally knows a lot more words than Qi Gao. But although the couple is high and low in the matter of literacy, if they use it to learn, it will not work.
Therefore, Qi Gao naturally couldn't see anything from the inscriptions on this copper plate, even if he showed it to his wife, he couldn't see anything Mingtang. I just think that this copper piece is old, and it seems to be something that has been around for years; In addition, he guessed that the words he couldn't understand seemed to be Sanskrit, so none of them were thrown into the furnace to melt.
What's more, anyway, Mu Qingming is going to visit the mansion today, and Qi Gao has been keeping this piece of copper well, just waiting for Mu Qingming to come and see.
As soon as Mu Qingming said that, Qi Gao didn't care whether the copper piece was worth it or not, he wouldn't reach out and take it back. But he couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, so he wanted to know what the inscription on this copper sheet and this copper sheet were all about, and what kind of doorway there was.
After saying this to Mu Qingming, he kept looking at the other party with expectant eyes, waiting for Mu Qingming to tell him about the doorway, and in the future, in front of his horse gang brothers, he would have a little bit to talk about.
Qi Gao is such a simple person.
I don't ask for much, and I don't have too much scheming, and I am righteous to my friends.
But this made Mu Qing embarrassed.
It is impossible to say to Qi Gao: Old Qi, what is engraved on your copper plate is the secret of the Immortal Dao.
And Qi Gao didn't know what the Immortal Dao was, and Mu Qingming would have to explain to him at that time, the key was that it was easy to make trouble for the Qi family, and Mu Qingming smiled at the moment, and there was some embarrassment in his smile.
Mu Qingming's mind flew quickly, and after thinking about it, he suddenly had a lie in his heart, so under Qi Gao's expectant gaze, he said slowly: "Hey, where is this Tantric thing, do you know?" Engraved on this are a few small compilations. ”。
"Xiaosu?" Qi Gao was a little stunned, he didn't know what Xiao Su was?
"Ah, this little compilation is a kind of calligraphy in ancient times. So, in essence, the copper plate is still engraved with Chinese characters that we wrote, but the way it is written is different. Mu Qingming opened his eyes and said nonsense, and he didn't blush at all, and after a while, he talked to Qi Gao eloquently: "I just think that the things written on this are interesting, so I asked you for this thing, and I plan to go back and take a closer look." ”。
"Oh." Qi Gao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but his curiosity had already decreased by half with this long sound, and he said at the moment: "So that's the case." ”。
Mu Qingming over there was a little lucky, he thought that he had fooled Qi Gao like this, and he was secretly relieved.
Unexpectedly, I dug another big hole for myself.
After Qi Gao finished speaking, he asked again after a while: "Tell me, what's so interesting about the things engraved here?" ”。
As soon as these words came out, Mu Qingming was stunned again, and then he realized that the lies he had made up temporarily were not perfect, and he dug a big hole for himself.
Now, Mu Qingming is dumb and eats coptis.
Fortunately, this Qi Gao didn't have many eyes, Mu Qingming was stunned for a moment, pretended to look down at the words on the copper plate, and after thinking quickly, he continued to flicker: "He probably said something about a family member. ”。
But this time he learned the previous lesson, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, clearly. In a word, it is also vague.
"I'll have to go home and see, and I'll tell you more about it when I'm done." At the end, after Mu Qingming added such a sentence, he took the copper sheet in his hand and shook it at Qi Gao.
"Okay, take it away." This Qi Gao is really so foolish, Mu Qingming's three words, he really believes it.
I don't want to think about it, what kind of family will engrave their own things on copper plates.
It's just that Qi Gao still kept his promise and gave Mu Qingming this piece of copper, but he also made a request: "If you understand the above things, you will have the opportunity to tell me about it." ”。
Mu Qingming saw that Qi Gao was no longer as enthusiastic as he was just now, and he didn't have much interest, and this matter was finally fooled; So, he immediately nodded in response, agreed to Qi Gao, and at the same time quickly received the copper piece into his sleeve.
"You can stay and have dinner today." Sure enough, Qi Gao soon lost any curiosity and attention to the copper piece, and soon talked about the meal to Mu Qingming enthusiastically: "I'll drink some wine, and I'll ask the cook to cook a few good dishes for you, eat and drink, and talk about it." ”。
When Mu Qingming heard this, he hesitated a little in his heart.
There was only one thing he could think of now, and that was to go back immediately and hand over the copper piece to the Wonderful Pen for interpretation.
After all, there is an immortal Dao ciphertext on it, and there are some things recorded in the end, which makes Mu Qingming care very much.
Not only that, but as soon as this thing was like his hand, he felt that there was still some power in the copper sheet that locked a trace of the evil qi that was already left, so that it could not leak out at all, as if it was surrounded by an iron wall of copper.
This power is not unfamiliar to Mu Qingming, it is also a force composed of yin and evil qi, attached to this copper piece, I don't know how many years it has been.
But the matter of suppressing and locking up the yin and evil qi with the yin and evil qi is also a new thing for Mu Qingming, who has become accustomed to strange things, and it is unheard of.
All things cannot escape the way of mutual restraint, this unheard of thing, but it breaks the way of mutual restraint that all things must follow.
This is what Mu Qingming is most interested in now. In the face of Qi Gao's warm invitation, the gluttonous worms in his stomach were no longer aware of good wine and good food.
"No, I still have something going on at home, if you don't have anything to do, I'll go back first." Rejected Qi Gao, Mu Qingming stood up and was about to leave: "This meal, I will invite you to go to the restaurant outside another day to rub it, and thank you for bringing me back the Buddha bones." ”。
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? How big of a deal can I do to go back in a hurry. Qi Gao also hurriedly got up and tried his best to keep Mu Qingming: "I can bring back some good wine this time, you have to taste it." ”。
"It's really something, my parents happened to come to see their grandchildren, and I can't help but go back to greet them." Mu Qing was in a hurry, and told Qi Gao a second lie.
Now Qi Gao is out of line; He didn't know that Mu Qingming's parents were not in the city, and he didn't know that the dragon lockers were thousands of miles away, and a back and forth was a matter of an instant.
At this moment, I thought that Mu Qingming's parents had come all the way from Sichuan, and they didn't want to stay, so they only said regretfully: "It's not good for me to force you to keep you, so you can bring some yak jerky and good wine back and give your parents a taste." ”。
"Okay, I thank you for them." Mu Qingming no longer shirked, and took a sip......
It rained for a day and a night, so that the small courtyard of the Mu family, which was protected by an enchantment, was no exception soaked in rainwater.
The stagnant water collects in the patio of the small courtyard of the Mu family, and there is no dry place as far as the eye can see.
Mo Han was holding a child in one hand, his own son Mu Yunle in his left hand, and his godson Hanquan in his right hand, standing on the edge of the corridor in front of the main house, letting Hanquan reach out and pass through the water droplets that kept dripping from the eaves in front of the porch.
The cold spring is born with a cold body, and it senses each other with the water spirit, and is not afraid of the cold of this rootless water.
The water droplets fell on his hand, jumping and jumping, bursting into small splashes, but making the cold spring giggle vigorously.
Even Mu Yunle was laughing along, his smile innocent.
It's just that Mu Yunle has short hands, even if he wants to imitate his brother Hanquan, this little hand stretches out, and it can't reach the splashes that keep falling in front of the corridor.
I couldn't touch it, but I was very happy.
The two children were not the only ones who were excited in the wind and rain, the two night owls were also excited in the cage, constantly flapping their wings, constantly opening their sharp beaks, and sometimes letting out a cheerful long howl in the wind.
The only lazy one is the cunning snow leopard that Mu Qingming is now raising.
On this rainy day, the snow leopard is like a big lady who has not left the cabinet, and she does not step out of the door. Almost all the time outside of eating, it entertains itself in the kennel. More often than not, it's curled up in a ball, snoring and sleeping.
"Young grandma, I have done a good job of the accounts for the past few months, please take a look." Just when Mo Han was holding the two children and playing with the rising up, Miao Bi came over from his room with an elder.
Mo Han put Hanquan down, let the child stand up with her skirt, took the account book, and handed Mu Yunle to Miaobi.
"Play with Uncle Miaobi." Miaobi hugged Mu Yunle and gently scratched the child's small nose.
Mu Yunle turned his head, looked at the patio again, and reached out again, wanting to touch the falling water that kept dripping from the eaves.
Mo Han had already opened the account book and looked at it carefully. The above remembers the expenses of the Mu family's small courtyard this month. Including some of Mu Qing's secrets, some business dealings with the Qi family, and the income they bringed.
Mu Qingming has been secretly doing these businesses with Qi Gao for many days. It is nothing more than giving some of the things of the Mu family, all of which are special products, to Qi Gao to take to Tibet or Nepal and Myanmar to buy and sell.
So, this wonderful pen has one more job here in Mu Qingming, which is to keep accounts for him.
However, Mu Qingming generally doesn't look at the account book, and Mo Han basically reads it for him, so Miaobi gave the account book to Mo Han without saying a word.
Mo Han looked at it, and there was no problem, so he took the account book and 'exchanged' his son Mu Yunle from the hand of the wonderful pen.
At this moment, the black shadow around Mo Han flashed, and Mu Qingming appeared out of thin air.
When Hanquan saw it, he didn't care how Mu Qingming suddenly appeared, he hugged Mu Qingming's legs, looked at Mu Qingming with his head high, giggled, and said, "Mu Dad, Mu Dad." ”。
"Daddy Mu doesn't have any sugar today." Mu Qingming stretched out his hand and touched Hanquan's little brain melon.
This child's hair has grown thick recently, and he hasn't washed his hair for two or three days.
"Huh." Mu Qingming raised his hand and saw that his palms were shiny with sweat stains, so he jokingly said to Mo Han: "Our eldest son's head is oily, you don't need to buy oil for stir-frying, you can get some directly from his head." ”。
Hanquan, who didn't know what Mu Qingming was talking about, was still giggling with a happy face. Mo Han, whose stomach suddenly turned over the river and the sea, glanced at Mu Qingming and scolded: "You are not disgusting." ”。
"Hey, hey." Mu Qingming put down the umbrella with a smile, pulled away the feet of Hanquan and hugged his legs, strode to the courtyard, and went to fetch water to wash his hands and face.
The Zhen Qi gathered above his head also formed an invisible barrier, helping him block the raindrops falling from the sky, but Mu Qingming's body was not touched by the rain.
Under the sound of crackling rain and dripping water, Mu Qingming washed his face and hands well, poured the dirty water everywhere, walked back to the corridor, stopped Miaobi, and said, "Miaobi, I got a baby by chance today, you must be interested." ”。
When Miaobi heard this, he asked casually: "Young master, you won't find Wang Xizhi's Lan Pavilion Order, right?" ”。
"If you want to be beautiful, I'll give it to you if I find it? I can't keep it for myself. As Mu Qingming said this, he reached into his sleeve, took out the small copper piece he took from Qi Gao, and handed it to the wonderful pen.
Miaobi took the copper piece over, and it was the same as when Mu Qingming got the copper piece, and immediately felt the yin and evil qi contained in it, trapping another yin and evil qi.
Moreover, the wonderful pen also saw at a glance that on this copper plate, the seal was engraved with the ciphertext of the Immortal Dao.
"Isn't this the ciphertext of the Immortal Dao?" With an exclamation, he looked up at Mu Qingming opposite, his eyes full of surprise.
Mo Han also leaned over curiously, and took a closer look, it was really the secret text of the Immortal Dao.
There are a few ciphertext words, Mo Han doesn't know it like Mu Qingming, but he remembers that stroke or something.
"yes." After Mu Qingming nodded, he gave Miao Bi and Mo Han how this copper piece came from, and simply explained it one by one.
At this time, the other ears in the courtyard also heard Miaole, and immediately flashed out of his room, stood beside Miaobi, and looked at the copper piece.
"You are the one who knows and is most familiar with the Immortal Dao ciphertext." After Mu Qingming finished talking about the origin of the copper sheet, he couldn't wait to say to Miaobi: "You crack it for me, look at it, what is written on it?" ”。
What is written on the copper plate? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
