Chapter Seventy-Eight: Symbols The Mystery of Ciphers and Hints

After Professor Sun finished speaking, he stood up and retreated us out of the door, I thought to myself that this old man is really strange, didn't he say it when he first came in, how to turn his face, listen to the meaning of his words at first, as if he was ready to tell us, but then I didn't know where to see the identity of me and the big gold tooth, so I became very angry, maybe I thought that the two of us were liars, and wanted to come to him to do something.

According to my usual temper, since everything has been said about this, no one needs to pick me up, I must stand up and leave by myself, but this time is not trivial, maybe it is a life-threatening matter, and in addition to me and the fat man, it may also be related to the life and death of Professor Chen and Shirley Yang.

I said to Professor Sun: "Professor, Professor, you also listened to me say that the last sentence is okay, I don't know how you smell that we have earthy smell, but I and this gold-inlaid tooth, the two of us are really not upside down cultural relics, we have been working for the archaeological team for a long time, Chen Jiuren from Beijing, Professor Chen, have you heard of it?" That's what we did with him. ”

When Professor Sun heard me say Chen Jiuren's name, he was slightly stunned and asked, "Old Chen?" You're saying you two are working on his archaeological team? ”

I hurriedly nodded yes: "Yes, I think you two are Taishan Beidou in the archaeological world, in our archaeological circle, when you mention the name of your second elder, then whoever listens to it must not be shocked......"

Professor Chen's face softened slightly, and he waved his hand: "You kid, don't pat my ass, what am I, I know myself, since you and Lao Chen know each other, then you can stay by yourself and let the two of them avoid it." ”

As soon as I heard what Professor Sun meant, it seemed that there was a door, so I asked Da Jinya and Old Man Liu to leave first, leaving me alone to talk to Professor Sun secretly.

After the big golden tooth and the others went out, Professor Sun bolted the door and asked me something about Professor Chen, and I briefly explained how I went to the Xinjiang desert with Professor Chen and others to find the exquisite ancient city.

After hearing this, Professor Sun sighed and said: "I am an old acquaintance with Lao Chen, I have also heard of the accident in the desert, alas, his old bones are not buried in the sand, it is good, I want to go to Beijing to visit him, but I heard that he went to the United States for treatment, and I don't know if I can see him again in my lifetime. ”

I was waiting for Professor Sun's words, and hurriedly asked: "I think this bruise that suddenly grew on my back is like an eyeball, which is related to the exquisite ancient city we saw in the depths of the desert, those people of the Ghost Cave Clan of the Exquisite Country, all worship the power of the eyeball, I think I have fallen into some kind of curse, but I heard that this is not an eyeball, but a word, so I want to ask you to say, what does this word mean, I am also fortunate to have a mental preparation, of course, I am also a person who has died seven or eight times, my personal safety, I don't really think about it, but Professor Chen probably has this symptom as well, and I am most worried about his old man. ”

Professor Sun said to me: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, these things really can't be said, and it won't be beneficial to you if you know, but I can tell you clearly that the mark on your back is by no means a curse or something that doesn't matter, and it won't affect your health, so you can rest assured." ”

The more I listened, the more anxious I became, doesn't this mean that I didn't say anything, but Professor Sun said that it was not a curse, this sentence reduced my psychological burden a lot, but the more I couldn't say it, the more I wanted to know, thousands of years ago, to this day, what content can not be revealed, not to mention that this word has grown to me.

Under my repeated questioning, Professor Sun had no choice but to confide in me:

Professor Sun has been researching the monuments of the Yellow River Basin for many years, and is an expert in ancient writing, specializing in deciphering and translating ancient secret texts.

In ancient times, Cangjie made words, and the appearance of words ended the barbaric history of human knotted ropes, so that the text contained a lot of information, including the mystery of all things in nature, and it has been passed on to this day with a total of four pronunciations.

However, in the earliest times, there were actually eight pronunciations of the written language, which contained a huge amount of information that ordinary people could hardly imagine, but this additional information was monopolized by the ruling class, and the other four pronunciations became a kind of confidential language, specially used to record some important events that could not be known to ordinary people.

Some tortoise shells and slips unearthed in later generations, there are a lot of ancient characters similar to the ancient script, but no one has ever known it, some people say that the book of heaven has no words, no word book of heaven, in fact, it is a kind of distortion, the book of heaven is a kind of encrypted information in ancient times, there is literal information, but if you can't crack, even if it is in front of you, you can't understand it, Professor Sun has been dealing with these books of heaven that no one knows all his life, but the progress has never been big, it can be said that it is difficult to step by step, exhausting his mind, and he has not studied any results.

Until 1978, archaeologists excavated an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Micang Mountain, this ancient tomb had been looted by many tomb robbers, there were six or seven robbery holes, the body of the tomb owner had long been destroyed, the tomb chamber was also rotten and destroyed, most of the burial goods were stolen, and almost all of the remaining were seriously corroded.

Judging from all kinds of signs, the owner of this tomb should be the palace in charge of the astronomical calendar, as well as the yin and yang number and other things of the Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng, the Tang Dynasty's science and technology, culture, economy and other fields are a peak in the history of Chinese civilization, as a famous "scientist" Li Chunfeng in the Tang Dynasty, his tomb should have a lot of important artifacts and materials of great research value, but unfortunately they were all destroyed, which can not but be said to be a great loss, all the archaeologists on the scene feel extremely sorry for this.

But the clean-up still had to be carried out, but as the clean-up progressed, a huge surprise appeared in the decaying coffin, and archaeologists found a mezzanine in the coffin slab above the head of the tomb owner.

There is a mezzanine on the top of the coffin, which no one thought in advance, even the most experienced experts, have never seen the coffin board in the mezzanine, everyone carefully opened the coffin plate interlayer, there is a cowhide package inside, after opening there is a thing wrapped in oilcloth and red lacquer, it is a white jade flawless jade box, the jade box is full of gilt silver, the stone box is engraved with the pattern of winged spirit animals, and the lock on the lid of the box is made of pure gold.

Because it is hidden in the mezzanine of the coffin plate, it has been able to escape the looting of tomb robbers for so many years and has been preserved to this day.

At a glance, experienced experts knew that it was a royal thing of the Tang Dynasty, which may have been given to Li Chunfeng by the emperor, and was placed by him in such a secret coffin plate mezzanine, its importance can be imagined, and the jade box was immediately sent back to the base camp of the archaeological working group.

In the box made of a whole piece of mutton fat jade, a lot of important items were found, among which there was a keel (some kind of tortoise shell), which was engraved with "Book of Heaven", which was named "Keel Heterogenealogy", and another pure gold plate, the gold plate was not big, the four corners caused the head of the beast, and the front and back sides were densely cast with a lot of words, which seemed to be a table, and the words on it were somewhat recognizable, some unrecognizable, and it was named "Beast Horn Maze Gold Plate" at that time.

So he asked Professor Sun, an expert in paleography, and others to be responsible for cracking the secret of this keel and gold plate.

Professor Sun has seen this kind of "dragon bone different text spectrum" many times, and the ancient characters on it can be remembered with his eyes closed, but he has never been able to analyze what kind of words these are, what their meanings are, and what are the contents recorded with this strange text?

This so-called "Book of Heaven" is a hurdle faced by Chinese paleographers, the more it cannot be passed, there will be no progress, once there is a breakthrough, the rest of the problems can be solved, but this obstacle is too big.

Some scholars believe that "Book of Heaven" is a text left over from a civilization that has disappeared, but this statement is self-defeating, because some ancient characters unearthed with "Book of Heaven" can be easily interpreted, and after carbon 14 testing, they belong to the same period as the Yin Shang period, which should be the product of the same period, and are by no means the remains of prehistoric civilization.

After more than a month of repeated scrutiny and research, Professor Sun finally solved the "mystery of the Book of Heaven", and found that the original ancients used the "Book of Heaven" on the keel to record that it was a kind of encrypted text by comparing the "gold plate of the beast horn mystery text" unearthed from the tomb of Li Chunfeng.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng had cracked this ancient encrypted text, in recognition of his merits, the emperor specially cast a gold medal to reward Li Chunfeng to commemorate this event, the words and symbols on this gold medal are the comparison table of the book of heaven interpreted by Li Chunfeng.

In fact, the Book of Heaven is very simple, it is annotated with the phonetic transcription of the most four secret sounds, rather than engraved on the keel with words, but only a few people who can read these secret pronunciations can understand the content of the words.

And Li Chunfeng was inspired by the "Detailed Examination of the Eight Classics", so as to find a way to understand the heavenly machine and crack the mystery of the heavenly book. Professor Sun learned how to interpret the Book of Heaven from the inspiration of this "gold plate of beast horn puzzles", which caused a subversive sensation in the archaeological community, a large number of ancient confidential texts were interpreted, a lot of information was stunned, and many of the history that had been conclusive will also be rewritten.

Taking into account various factors, the superior leaders gave the following instructions to Professor Sun's declassified information: treat it with a cautious attitude and not release it to the outside world for the time being until there is a definite conclusion.

Professor Sun said to me: "This trace behind you, said that it is an ancient secret text, it is not appropriate, this word is not a word in the book of heaven, I also saw this symbol on the tortoise shell unearthed in Gutian, it symbolizes a special thing, people at that time did not have an accurate word to describe it, I want to call it a picture language, it is more appropriate, the picture is a symbolic symbol, but the meaning of this symbol is not clear, it is mixed with the heavenly book encrypted text appeared, in the ancient field unearthed dragon armor, The content of one of the heavenly books seems to be a record of disasters, because it has just been unearthed, and the time is pressing, I only took a cursory look at it, and I have not had time to carefully analyze what this symbol means, but I did not expect that on the way back, the military plane crashed and crashed, and those secrets may never be known. ”

I asked Professor Sun, "Didn't you keep a record of such an important thing?" You don't think I've got a curse or something on my back, but I still think it's too strange, and I won't be at ease if I don't know the details. Tell me, what is the text recorded in the bone armor? Is it related to the ghost caves in Xinjiang? I promised Chairman Mao that I would never leak half a word. ”

Professor Sun stood up nervously and suddenly: "I can't say it, once I say it, it will be earth-shattering." ”
