Li Damin flipped through the Yin classics, and I asked a few more times before he came back to his senses and told me that he was going home.

I asked why I went.

Li Damin said: "About this Yin text, I think of some things, go home and get them." Let's talk about it later. "Said that he was in a hurry and left.

After he left, I flipped through the Yin classics on the sofa, and I couldn't understand it, the words on it were not only incomprehensible but also felt very evil after reading for a long time, and there was an indescribable weirdness in the strokes.

I looked at Wang Yue's notebook again, which was full of some of her conjectures and essays on Yin Wen, most of which were of little value, but there was one detail mentioned in it that was very interesting. Wang Yue found Yin Wen too difficult to understand, so she tried a strange method, she let herself sleepwalk. This way of sleepwalking is different from ordinary people's sleepwalking, Wang Yue uses some kind of secret spell to put herself in a state of deep sleep away from the soul.

She wants to interpret the Yin text through the state after sleepwalking, and she may be able to find something.

The final result is that this matter has become more and more weird, Wang Yue did interpret the Yin text after sleepwalking, and recorded it, but after Wang Yue woke up, she looked at what she wrote when she was sleepwalking, and she found that she couldn't understand a word!

The font written after sleepwalking is not Chinese characters, nor Yin script, but another script that is inexplicable.

It's getting weirder and weirder, what this third text is, Wang Yue doesn't know. However, she felt that this was an unexpected discovery, so she insisted on sleepwalking interpretation.

I remembered that night, when I saw Wang Yue sleepwalking for the first time in the community, I was so scared that I was in a cold sweat. Looking back now, I didn't expect there to be such a weird and deep background behind it.

I flipped to the back of the notebook, and the pages there were recorded in the words written by Wang Yue sleepwalking, and I couldn't help but feel chills when I looked at it like this. The weirdness of these words is comparable to that of Yin Wen, each stroke hook looks like the soul hooking order of the Lord of Yama, and many words seem to be the deformation of the "corpse" and "ghost" in the Chinese characters.

I quickly closed my notebook and closed my eyes, my head buzzing.

I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door, and when I opened the door, Li Damin came back, still carrying a hiking bag. I looked at him in wonder as he walked over to the couch, unzipped his bag, and poured out all the contents, several tomes and some books.

"What's this?" I asked.

Li Damin said: "When I read the Yin text just now, I felt that I had seen this kind of writing before. ”

"Huh?" I was taken aback: "Have you seen it?" ”

"Hmm." Li Damin said: "At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a genius child who became a great scientist, and this person's name was Jiang Xizhang. When he was young, he was almost selected as Pu Yi's companion, and was hailed by Kang Youwei as the first prodigy of the Republic of China. When he was ten years old, he wrote a book called "The Illustrated World". As for the content of the book, it is a fantasy universe catalog, using the traditional Chinese cosmology to discuss the world of the universe, so it is called 'the world'. In this book, the young Jiang Xizhang invented a cosmic script, which was used as a communication between earthlings and aliens, and he said that it was a common script for the higher civilizations of the universe......"

I interrupted him: "How old was Jiang Xizhang when he wrote this book?" ”

"Ten years old." Li Damin said.

"Written at the end of the Qing Dynasty?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Is it possible? A ten-year-old child in the late Qing Dynasty wrote a guide on how to communicate with aliens? I smiled and shook my head.

Li Damin said: "Does it sound extremely unreasonable? So now there is a saying that someone did it in the name of Jiang Xizhang. We won't look at this. ”

"What do you mean by mentioning him?" I said confusedly.

"Don't you understand?" Li Damin said: "This cosmic script invented by Jiang Xizhang is Yinwen!" ”

I brushed my hair to the roots: "This, how is this possible?" ”

Li Damin took out a copy of the book he poured out, it was a black book with yellowed pages, it was too old, and the cover was written in traditional Chinese with the words "Three Thousand Worlds Illustrated".

"The book is out of print." Li Damin said: "This book was picked up by my father in an underground old market in Henan when he was young. Or by chance, my father's unintentional move a few years ago, his son just happened to be on it today. ”

Li Damin opened the book, flipped to one of the pages, and handed it to me.

It's all in traditional Chinese, and it looks very laborious, but I can barely read it and roughly understand what it means. Jiang Xizhang called this kind of text "crossing the heavenly river" font, what does it mean, the meaning of crossing the river Styx to another world.

To be honest, I absolutely don't believe that this was written by a ten-year-old child, or the end of the Qing Dynasty. Looking at it carefully, the whole theoretical system is quite complete, and the setting is whimsical but logical, how can it be written by a child? To be honest, I can't even make it up.

I took a closer look at the contents of the book, and compared it with the Yin text, it was really surprisingly similar.

Li Damin sat down, pointed to the book with his finger and said, "You see, he has annotated each text, and the basic constituent elements of this kind of text are 'up and down, left and right, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ......", which is the basic perception of the world. The structure of Yin is a bit more complicated, but the basic elements remain the same, and these are still the same things. ”

My heart was pounding, and my throat moved, as if I had peeked into the gate of a new world: "Damin, you are really powerful. ”

Li Damin smiled: "Now we all pay attention to online learning, how can we still rest on our laurels as before, and don't take out good things to share." Like just now, if I hadn't been angry, you wouldn't have been able to tell me about it. ”

"Hey, I also have a hard time," I explained, "Wang Yue repeatedly told me that Yin Wen has a great relationship, and once I am born, I am afraid that I will be coveted by many people, and it will cause unnecessary trouble when the time comes." ”

"Tell me what you're afraid of." Li Damin said: "Come, come, I'll crack the Yin text." ”

"It would be better if you could crack it," I sighed, "and you don't have to bother to find Liu Yang." ”

"No, no," Li Damin said: "There is only the second volume of Yin Wen here, and we don't know what the first volume is. Liu Yang has to be found, and our work must be done. ”

Li Damin and I took the paper and began to study the words in the Yin classics, and for the first time I realized that there was such a difficult and interesting job in this world.

Each word can be taken apart, each part is an independent element, and the difficulty is how to understand it when put together. For example, there is a yin script, the upper and lower structure, after dismantling it and comparing it with the text table in "The Great World", you can know that it is composed of "Shang" and "Water". It's too difficult to put it together to understand.

"Shang" and "water" together, it can be understood as rain, and it seems to be good to understand into clouds, but it seems reasonable to use a little imagination and say that it is a transport plane. Transporters are transporting water to support the disaster-stricken areas.

Therefore, even if we find a pattern, if we really want to make it up, it feels like there are a lot of things, and it is difficult to determine accurately.

We studied until late at night, when Li Damin threw down his pen, rubbed his eyes, and said, "I know what is written in the first volume of Yinwen." ”

What I asked.

Li Damin said: "The first volume must record the composition principle of the Yin script, we can now decipher the individual constituent elements in the characters, but there is a lack of a rule to connect them, the first volume must be about this!" ”

"You mean, if there is no volume, Yin Wen is still a book from heaven?" I say.

Li Damin yawned: "I can't stand it, I have to sleep for a while, and I have to go to work tomorrow." He went to rest in the inner bedroom.

I didn't feel sleepy at all, smoking a cigarette and flipping through the Yin classics, and comparing Jiang Xizhang's books. Where did this kind of writing come from, did Jiang Xizhang invent it, or did he learn about it somehow?

What is the meaning of this text?

After thinking about it for a while, his hair exploded, and he suddenly felt that he should tell Wang Yue about it. I walked into the bedroom, sat in front of Wang Yue, and entered the bardo realm through the psychic bracelet.

Wang Yue was still sitting in a daze in front of the high wall full of Yin characters, and her movements seemed to be the same as when I left.

I walked over and whispered her name behind her. Wang Yue turned her head abruptly and said in surprise: "Lin Cong, you have come to see me." ”

"Aren't you bored here?" I wondered, "I've been researching here, what have I come up with?" ”

"Hey," Wang Yue said, "You've been gone for less than a minute, and you're back again, and I haven't felt bored yet." ”

I was taken aback and realized that the time here is completely different from the real time outside. It's been a full day since I last came in, but it's only a minute for Wang Yue.

I told her everything that happened that day. When Wang Yue heard that Li Damin had found the source and root of the Yin Script, her eyes widened in shock, and the expression on her face did not fade for a long time.

"Now everything is stuck in the upper volume of the Yin Script," I said, "as long as we find the upper volume, we will quickly crack the secret." ”

Wang Yue shook her head and said with a wry smile, then you have to wake up Liu Yang first, how can it be so easy.

"By the way, Lin Cong, I want to entrust you with one thing." She said.

"Say it."

Wang Yue said: "I'm afraid I'm going to be stuck in this difficult situation for a long time, if I can't get out, my body will gradually change, and I definitely can't put it like this, so I want to entrust you to make a phone call." She gave a phone number: "After connecting, you said to find a person called Jieling, tell him about my situation, he knows what to do, he will use the best way to keep my body, and you will leave the rest alone." ”
