Chapter 27: Thunder
"Half white is down feathers, and half yellow is half yellow skin, so the poem is not the mantra itself, but the restriction of the mantra." I began to disassemble the awkward poem. "The first verse is the most important part, because the bloodline is the biggest prerequisite for this spell to be cast properly."
Yu Ge nodded hurriedly. "Makes sense. Then this first sentence refers specifically to our people, because if you just analyze, our people are all creatures of mixed Bifang bloodline and human blood. ”
According to the analysis we have just made, we can only come to such a conclusion, but I still have scruples in my heart. Because this is an ancient spell, the time has been very long, I don't know if the bloodline of their clan can really be consistent with the Yu Republic and the Tou Kingdom at that time, Yu Ge also said that after their clan moved to this island, they rarely communicate with the human world, and they continue to marry within the clan, and the result will only be that Bi Fang's bloodline is becoming more and more pure, and the human bloodline is becoming more and more diluted.
Of course, this is just my personal speculation, but it is not something we can control, and we can only hope that their bloodlines are consistent with the poem.
"Quan, how to explain the long mist of the revetment and the dangerous shoal?" Yu Ge interrupted me in thought.
"I think since the first sentence is a restriction, then the second sentence must be the same, and this sentence I guess should be a geographical constraint." I say.
Yu Ge smiled bitterly. "Can you explain it more clearly, I really don't understand."
I opened the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" again, but this time it was a part of it that we have not yet turned over—"The East Classic of the Sea".
"Yu Ge, there is another species in this book that looks similar to your clan, but there are not too many records." I pointed to one of the illustrations. "It's called Thor in the human world."
Thor, a bulging belly is thunder. This is the entire record of the god of thunder in the "Hai Nei Dongjing". We can't get any information from this very brief text, but fortunately there is an illustration underneath it.
The illustration depicts a man with wings like Yuge, but with a slightly different physiognomy from that of their people, with a human-like facial contour, a bird's beak, and long hair that almost obscures the face, making it difficult to identify.
"The people in this picture say they look like it, but it always feels weird." Yu Ge said hesitantly. "But my wings are no different from ours."
"Maybe it's because there are fewer people who have seen Thor, because when driving thunder and lightning, I believe that people don't dare to approach, so they can't depict it very accurately, or maybe when driving thunder, there will be some changes in the face."
"Izumi, I'm sure this painting is also our race, but what does it have to do with the second line of the poem?" Yu Ge looked at the short text and said disappointedly. "If you bulge your belly, you will be thunder...... That doesn't seem to say anything. ”
"Yu Ge, this introduction to Thor itself doesn't say anything, but the volume it is in reveals important information to us." I didn't hesitate to explain it to her. "Previously, it was the south of the Great Wilderness to the east of the sea, in addition to telling the migration route that is still going eastward, there is a more important clue."
"Just the name of the dossier gives any clues?"
"That is, it is getting closer and closer to the East China Sea, you see that neither the Yu Republic nor the Tou Country have any introduction to thunder and lightning, but when it comes to the east longitude part of the sea, it begins to be mentioned, which shows that the implementation of this spell not only requires blood, but also needs to meet the geographical environment conditions." I replied.
"Then you mean that you can only have a chance to cast this spell if you are close to the East China Sea."
"Yes, but not very accurate." I pondered the second sentence of the poem over and over again. "Because the East China Sea envelops the entire Central Plains Continent, this range is too large, and the water mist on the revetment is long, and it is true that the front refers to the river bank, but the water mist in the back has another deep meaning in my opinion."
"Ahh It turns out that this sentence is talking about the environment, so I guess this water mist length refers to the place where the water vapor is heavier. Yu Ge quickly got into the groove as well.
"That's right, it's a place full of steam, and I guess it's an island surrounded by the sea on several sides, because such an environment is generally humid." I know this speculation is bold, but it's not groundless, because it's common knowledge that there are thunderstorms in wet places.
"So is Qingdao an island that meets this condition?" Yu Ge asked.
I nodded, Qingdao is surrounded by the sea on three sides, the water vapor is naturally very heavy, and it is located on the shore of the Yellow Sea, which is completely in line with the description in the poem. "I think not only Qingdao, but also your hometown Bird Island also meets such conditions."
Yu Ge seemed to finally have some confidence, and his spirit was also shaken. "Great! If that's the case, spells can be cast in both Qingdao and Bird Island, and the fish-people will only be active in these two places for a short time. ”
As we talked, our voices grew louder and louder because of the excitement of our hearts, so that many of the people around us who were reading were a little bored, and I guess they must have wondered, are these two people in the water? I was so excited to study a limerick.
"Izumi! Then if you reason, what is the meaning of the third sentence of the body flying over the submersible place? Could this be a restrictive condition? Yu Ge chased after him and didn't give me any chance to rest at all.
"A hidden place is a hidden place, and I don't think it's like a restriction, but like a warning." My mind was getting better at this point. "It should be that this spell may be fragile during chanting, so you need to hide in a hidden corner. That's just my guess. ”
In just a few hours, I've given my own explanation for the riddle that has plagued the birds for years.
This is not because of how strong my reasoning ability is, but because Yuge and her people have been working behind closed doors for a long time and have not paid attention to the ancient books of mankind, so they have always been unable to start.
At this moment, Yu Ge's eyes were full of excitement and reverence. "Izumi! You really ......."
I was not optimistic at all, and although it seemed that it was progressing rapidly, in reality it was still stagnant, because before that, whether on Bird Island or in Qingdao, Yu Ge had recited the Birdman mantra many times, and although she was incomprehensible, she inadvertently fulfilled all the constraints of the poem, but it never worked.
This only shows that in addition to the Chinese poem, the meaning of that number also represents a limitation, and it is the gate of life.
One, three, two.
What exactly does the strange text at the end of that passage mean?
"Yu Ge, we can't relax at all now, because the most critical part doesn't have any clue yet."
Yu Ge banged helplessly on the table, his face bitter.
“13245?” Her mood that had just been a little relaxed was tense again. "yes, that's the crux of the matter."
In the previous paragraph of Chinese, I relied on my previous research on the books of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to understand the meaning so quickly, but how to start with this number?
There really is no place to stay.
I glanced out the window at dusk, and the red clouds could no longer wrap up the night.
Our time is slowly running out and is about to bottom out.
"13245......" she said anxiously. "This section can't be cracked, everything in front of it is in vain."
What does this mean? Is it that kind of numbers game? Or some peculiar matrix? Or is it the treasure chest password?
Yu Ge grabbed her hair in a disheveled manner, and she banged frantically on the table, once, three, twice.
Tapping the rhythm like Morse code.
"Are you sick over there? Knock on what table! A woman yelled at us.
"Humph!" Yu Ge turned to him and said disdainfully. "Leave it to you!"
"It's really unqualified!" The man chattered.
"13245~" Yu Ge cleared his throat and hummed these numbers. The old aunt was so angry that her face was flushed.
Yu Ge is like this, they can sing a tune casually, this is the customs of their people, and it has long been integrated into their blood.
The undulating rhythm sounded uneventful, but it was like an electric current hitting my most sensitive nerves.
"Feather Song...... You just casually sang that number......"
Yu Ge smiled embarrassedly. "I just snorted casually, in order to be angry with that old woman. Don't take it personally. ”
"I think I know what those numbers mean." I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart, and I spoke at an astonishing speed.
"What! Spring! Tell me quickly. ”
"It's rhythm and tone!"
"Rhythmic tones? What do you mean? ”
"Yu Ge, if you listen carefully to the thunder, you will find that it has a rhythm, high and low. And in the last sentence, there is a sound in the light of the stone fire, I think it is not only the sound of thunder, but the oldest human struck a stone to make a fire, and once and again, it inadvertently struck the music. ”
"You mean!" Yu Ge was dumbfounded. "You're saying the mantra should be chanted in a singing voice."
"That's right, Yu Ge, do you know the palace merchant horn in the ancient song?"
"I know, my people have been using it all the time, and this is also recorded in the fourth volume of music."
I clapped my hands. "Then you can't be wrong, your people are well-versed in music theory, so you can sing the pentatonic scale with great precision, right?"
Yu Ge nodded puzzled. "It should be more accurate, because I've been dealing with music for generations."
"13245 is the palace corner business Zhengyu! One tone corresponds to one text. tatari i hoki mai koe! ”
She suddenly woke up like a dream, as if she was in another world. "Oops! Why did I never think about it? Everyone in our clan is proficient in music, which is characteristic of our bloodline. Spells should be about that. ”
"Try it, Yu Ge, and sing that passage in a singing way."
Yu Ge stood up and began to clear his throat and sing while tapping his hand on the table to beat the rhythm. “tatari i hoki.....”
She stopped abruptly in the middle of the song, gasping for air. "Izumi! I think it must be true, because every time I sing a word, I feel like I have to lose all my strength, and I never felt like that. ”
I was about to persuade her to push harder, but several security guards suddenly rushed in front of the two of us.
"Comrade policeman, these two young people, who have no quality at all, are making loud noises and singing in the reading room." It turned out that the old aunt went to the security guard.
"Sir, miss, please get out of here." A security guard said solemnly.
Yu Ge didn't pay attention to them, he took a deep breath and sang softly. “tatari i hoki mai koe”
"Comrade policeman, I'm right, these young people don't have any public morality at all."
Yu Ge's hair stood up in an instant, like a silver needle. Her face was pale and sweat was pouring down.
Three seconds later.
There was a muffled sound in the sky at first, and in the blink of an eye, it was bright white, as if it had suddenly entered the polar day.
There was a commotion in the library. "What's going on!"
Before they could say another word, a burst of thunder broke through the sky, followed by a dazzling electric light, as if a white orchid bloomed in the sky.
"Help!" People fled around the museum.
The lightning bolt struck the beam outside the library, and the entire library was instantly dark.
Boom! The sound of the mountain roaring and the tsunami greeted him, and the exquisite glass curtain wall outside the library was shattered in an instant, and all the books in the library were scattered and scattered.
A powerful wave of air blew several people close to the window on their backs. Heavy rain poured in uncontrollably.
