Chapter 48: Disappointment, Hope, and Hope (3rd Watch)

After tossing for so long, he finally had a score, and now, Ji Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Yuntian, and saw that he carefully took out a well-treasured brocade box from a drawer.

This brocade box is pitch black, but it is not painted with paint, but natural black, and I don't know what kind of wood it is made of.

Seeing that he keeps it so well, it should be extremely precious!

As he opened it, Ji Cheng could see what was inside!

A piece of parchment, and a line-bound book the size of a primary school Chinese textbook, the paper is relatively rough, some yellowed, and the age is quite old.

That parchment should be a map of the mountain, yes, but what is this line bound book for, there is no need for Li Yuntian to take out all the family resources, right?

Ji Cheng looked at them, not only Li Buyong was curious, but even Liang Sixian looked attentive, and it was estimated that it was the first time he saw it, and suddenly, he felt more and more mysterious.

Li Yuntian spread out the parchment, the parchment was thin and light, spread out, almost the size of a tabletop, inside was a simple map drawn with a brush, there were mountains and rivers, and there were some marked cities...... But it's not a modern map.

However, the words marked are quite strange.

The handwriting is extremely neat and square, as if it is composed of radicals of Chinese characters, which is very complex.

Seeing this, Ji Cheng shook his head, this is definitely not traditional Chinese, nor is it Chinese characters, nor is it any kind of existing Chinese characters.

What kind of text is it, as if I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while, Ji Cheng recalled it in his mind, and suddenly thought that it seemed to be mentioned in the "Autobiography" of 'Master Ji'.

In the long history of China, there is a highly developed civilization with a history of nearly 1,000 years, and it has only been discovered in modern times!

This kingdom is Western Xia!

It's just that Li Buyu's family, how could they have anything to do with Western Xia? Ji Cheng looked at Li Yuntian and his family, and found that this tribe was probably not as simple as he imagined!

There must be some big secret hidden!

"Don't hide it from Mr. Ji, this is indeed Xixia Wen, but I don't know it either. Li Yuntian sighed and shook his head again.

In fact, after the party established the Western Xia, it realized that if you want to inherit your own civilization, you must have your own writing, so the founding emperor Li Yuanhao at that time reused Yeli Renrong, combined with the Chinese characters at that time, which lasted more than four years, and finally created the Western Xia script, and then popularized it.

But the Xixia city was broken and slaughtered, the country has been lost for hundreds of years, the patriarchs are scattered, the Yuan Dynasty did not make a history for the Western Xia at that time, so little is known about the history of the Western Xia, until the Russian archaeologist Kozlov opened a temple tower in the city of Heishui, which revealed the mysterious Western Xia Kingdom.

At that time, there were countless treasures taken from the pagoda, among which is the only 'Tangut dictionary' that is now stored in the Oriental Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Nowadays, there are no more than ten people in the world who can know the Tangut language, and if you want to decipher the text on this map, I am afraid that the best and most direct way is to go to the Russian Oriental Museum to refer to the Tangut dictionary.

This is an important cultural relic, will the other party borrow it at will?

I thought that the opportunity was right in front of me, but I didn't expect that there would be such an episode.

Ji Cheng was also a little helpless, thinking about whether to use the power of the Internet to check these words, but in this big mountain, there was not even a signal, and it seemed that he could only go to nearby towns.

To be honest, Ji Cheng felt a little sorry in his heart, there was not much time left before he made an appointment to go to the end of the world, every minute and second was extremely precious, and now, I don't know how long it will be delayed.

However, Ji Cheng seemed to have forgotten another important thing.

- With the map taken out, there is also a line-bound book, is this a turning point?

Ji Cheng looked at Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian nodded slightly to Ji Cheng. "This dictionary is a bilingual dictionary of Chinese characters and Tangut characters, which has been passed down from our ancestors. ”

This is really good, Ji Chang breathed a sigh of relief, although the comparative translation of word by word will be a little troublesome, but it is much better than stumbling like a headless fly.

At the same time, Li Yuntian reminded. "Mr. Ji, this is the inheritance of my Li family, a priceless treasure, I hope you don't show it. The reason why Tuoba Hong and the others came up with such a bad move is also because of this. ”

Ji Cheng nodded slightly, of course he knew the importance of this matter.

But after a little thought, this matter seems to be more serious than what Li Yuntian said.

The Western Xia was established by the party to the clan, and the ancestral surname should be "Tuoba", and after returning to the Tang Dynasty, they were given the surname "Li", but their surname was Li, is it ......

They also possess such precious bilingual dictionaries, are they the descendants of the Western Xia royal family? The descendants of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty? If they are really the descendants of the Western Xia royal family, then what secrets are hidden in the sacred mountain of their pilgrimage, the Hidden Dragon Mountain?

Li Yuntian didn't break it, so he took his wife and daughter out of the house, leaving the space for Ji Cheng.

Ji Cheng didn't ask any more questions, just calmed down and looked at the map while comparing the dictionary, at this time, Ji Cheng had the feeling that a primary school student was learning Chinese characters, learning word by word from scratch.

This night, Ji Cheng had a very difficult time, and he memorized these thousands of words.

As soon as the morning dawned, Li Yuntian pushed the door in and brought Ji Cheng some dry food and water.

The place to find the dragon's breath grass was near the active volcano, and there was a shortage of pure water sources, and at the same time, he asked Li Buyu to personally lead Ji Cheng.

Although it is only a few dozen miles away, it is full of mountain roads, and it is a reckless jungle, so it is very easy to get lost.

Ji Cheng simply finished breakfast and set off with Li Buyi.

Li Buyu knew that this trip might be extremely dangerous, and he was well prepared.

Holding a firewood knife, a bow and arrows, and a pot full of arrows, as well as some potions for repelling insects, and wearing a thick leather armor, it seems that it is specially used for fighting, which will make her look more like a brave and warlike Ma Kui.

She was both excited and excited, and followed Ji Cheng respectfully.

"Mr. Ji, if you capture me, why don't you want any loot? In our place, the master has the right to dispose of all the captives. Li Buyi's eyes were full of admiration, not only because Ji Cheng was strong, but also not as vulgar as Tuoba Hong. Not to mention that he is handsome, he does not lose his demeanor, and he is very respected by her.

Ji Cheng answered her more than once, and then reiterated it again. "I'm here this time just to find Dragon's Breath Grass. Nothing else will benefit me. ”

"Including me?" asked Li Buyu innocently.

Ji Cheng nodded and walked forward.

Li Buyi's face was slightly displeased, he was stunned, and after a while, he said very seriously: "Then I want to be your woman! I like heroic men! As Ma Kui, I am so direct!"

Ji Cheng sneered, turned his back to her and said, "Let's talk about it when you grow up." ”

Li Buyu became happy again, let out a laugh like a silver bell, and caught up.

Ji Cheng picked up his backpack and just walked to the entrance of the village, when he saw that there were already people waiting there on the other side.

- It's Long Youregret and his party!
