Chapter 28: Kill Us
The so-called Jin Wen is a kind of inscription that has appeared in Chinese history.
It is very similar to the oracle bone inscription, the earliest oracle bone inscription disappeared with the death of Yin, and the Jin inscription rose up to replace it and became the mainstream of the Zhou Dynasty calligraphy.
Because the gold inscriptions found so far are mostly engraved on the bell ding, it is also called the bell dingwen.
My understanding of Jin Wen is also based on the written materials recorded in those antiques compiled and pieced together by some experts and scholars on the Internet.
Most of the contents are records of rituals, edicts, edicts, conquests, hunts, covenants, and other activities or events at that time.
In terms of fonts, the oracle bone inscription has a thin stroke, many straight strokes, and many turning points, and compared with the oracle bone inscription, the golden inscription basically belongs to the Zhou seal style.
Its font is neat and beautiful, simple and heavy, its pen is fat, there are many curved pens, many lumps, take off the stagnation, and the changes are diverse.
According to the statistics of contemporary scholars, there are about 3,000 characters in the golden text, of which more than 1,800 characters have been deciphered.
These inscriptions can be roughly divided into four categories according to time and region.
That is, the Shang Dynasty Jinwen, the Western Zhou Jinwen, the Eastern Zhou Jinwen, and the Qin and Han Jinwen.
I carefully identified it, the stone carving font on the platform is majestic and elegant, and in the use of bold strokes, many new ways of dividing columns have been derived, and some of the characters are mixed with some changes in the seal style.
I made a preliminary judgment that this should be the Jin Wen of the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The light was dim, and as far as the eye could see, I could roughly make out the names of some of the animals.
I couldn't help but turn on the flashlight to illuminate the entire stone platform and take a look at the stone carvings on the platform.
"Chen You, do you know the words on this?" Zhang Lin was surprised.
I nodded, there were not many words on the stone platform, most of them were various figures, and in the center of it was a large circle, and around the circle, there were eight golden inscriptions in an equal column.
I know six of these eight golden inscriptions, counting clockwise from twelve o'clock, are horses, frogs, snakes,......, eagles,......, bats, and sparrows.
I haven't seen the two golden texts after the snake and the eagle, and I think they should also be animals.
In the middle of the big circle, there are also four large characters engraved vertically, and I only know the third one counted from top to bottom.
This is a "sacrifice" word!
On the circular platform, in addition to these characters, all that remains are some patterns of various shapes, either nested in a circle or intersected on a circle.
Time was pressing, so I glanced at it and told Zhang Lin what I recognized as Jin Wen.
As I spoke, I walked up to McDonald's and raised my hand to seal a soul charm on his forehead.
As soon as this talisman was pasted, the black shadow behind McDonald's that was originally expressionless changed his face and looked a little painful, and even McDonald's himself changed from sluggish to painful, as if he had been tortured by something.
I glanced behind him, and saw that the separation of the array spirit and the McDonald's body had slowed down significantly, and I didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing in my heart, so I turned my head to look at Zhang Lin again.
Zhang Lin pinched his chin, squatted on the ground, drew something on the ground with his fingers, and said something in his mouth.
I was close to him, and I could faintly hear "No...... Wrong...... How is it the other way around...... It's so weird......"
"Zhang Lin! Small tour! ”
King Kong suddenly shouted, and we both turned our heads to look, only to see Yang Dazhui also holding a hand on his shoulder, standing in place with a dull expression.
Damn, how did it take the next turn so soon!
I felt a pang in my heart, and looked at Zhang Lin again, whether a few of us can escape or not, it can only depend on him.
"You guys are optimistic about him, try to delay until his formation spirit is about to leave his body before attaching the talisman," Zhang Lin's brows furrowed tightly, he looked at me again, and said in a deep voice: "You still go back according to the original route for a while, and try to help me buy a little more time." ”
I nodded, thought for a moment, and was not going to help standing here anyway, so I simply walked back to the platform and tried to find some clues on the platform.
……
Time passed minute by minute, and I don't know what the reason was, the speed of the formation of spirits on Yang Dazhu's body was at least twice as fast as McDonald's, and I studied those graphics for a long time, and I couldn't see why.
Before the array spirit on Yang Dazhu's body was about to leave his body, I had no choice but to paste a soul suppression talisman on him.
Worse happened.
Not long after Yang Dazhu's soul was suppressed, the next array spirit possessed was not any of me, King Kong, and Zhang Lin.
It turned out to be a mink that had been hiding in my hood!
When this little guy came out of my hood and pointed at the little paw on his shoulder, I was shocked!
Fuck, how come even you are entangled too!
The mink kept scratching its shoulders with its claws, but it couldn't reach the black shadow behind it.
It looked at me with a melancholy expression.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out!" I touched its little head and comforted.
Although I said this, I was very anxious in my heart, and if I continued according to the current situation, I was afraid that all of us would be planted here!
The mink also fell into a hallucination, and I gently placed it on the ground.
What is puzzling is that the separation speed of the array spirit on the mink body is actually faster than that of Yang Sledgehammer.
I wondered in my heart, could it be that the speed of this array of spirits out of the body was not determined by strength?
Finally, the mink was also affixed with a soul calming charm by me, and I couldn't help but sigh when I looked at the black shadow behind it.
……
The same situation continued, and King Kong was entangled, and he looked at me before he lost his mind, with apologies, hope, and encouragement in his eyes.
Looking at this tall man who has been standing in front of me and shielding me from the wind and rain, now with a sluggish look, my heart is very uncomfortable.
This kind of power has nowhere to go, and it feels very uncomfortable to not be able to help anything.
Damn it! Now what the hell is jumping out and let me fight with it! I clenched my fists tightly, and there was an inexplicable anger burning in my heart.
……
"There are only two of us left," Zhang Lin wiped the sweat from his face, stood up, sighed and said, "I have a little clue, this should be a sacrifice array." ”
"Sacrificial array?"
"Yes, it's more terrible than the killing array, in the formation, the sacrificial array is a taboo, it is said that this kind of array should have disappeared long ago, for nearly a thousand years, I have not heard of the birth of the sacrificial array, and we don't know what luck we bumped into, and we really met one."
Hearing this, my heart felt as if 10,000 grass and mud horses were rolling by......
You said that you haven't seen a formation in nearly a thousand years, and Lao Tzu stepped on one less than half a month after he entered the industry! This is even smaller than the odds of winning a 100-bet Mark Six in a row!
Zhang Lin said solemnly: "I'll briefly talk to you about the method of cracking the sacrificial array, in case it's my turn, you can do it according to what I said!" ”
I nodded, mindful of everything he said.
"The text you told me before is very useful, although I can't think of a foolproof way to crack it for the time being, but at least I know the key to breaking the formation, I'll briefly talk to you first," Zhang Lin continued: "First of all, the sacrificial array is different from the killing array, the killing array is mainly killing, and the sacrificial array is mainly sacrifice!" ”
"The killing array is a contest between the people in the array and the person who sets it up, and the sacrificial array is the confrontation between the sacrifice and all the other sacrifices and the sacrifice spirits, so you have to remember that if you are the last one, don't be soft! Kill us all first! ”
"What!" I was startled and lost my voice, "This can't be!" I can't! ”
"Listen up!"
I was stunned by Zhang Lin's yelling, swallowed the words that came to my mouth, now is not the time to interrupt, I thought about it, and apologized to him.
Zhang Lin waved his hand and said: "When the time comes, even if you kill, what you kill is not our body, but the sacrificial spirit combines our soul with the formation, and the formation spirit that is born, you can only be qualified to fight against the sacrificial spirit if you scatter and absorb the formation spirit of our incarnation and become the only formation spirit of this formation!" ”
"As long as you can defeat the sacrifice spirit in the end, then you can control the entire formation and beat the souls of others back to their original body! Remember? ”
"Why didn't you do it?" I wondered.
"Only the last array spirit is pure, not bewitched by the sacrificial spirit, and has a clear mind, if the last one is me, I will do the same," Zhang Lin said.
"Don't be soft......" I repeated Zhang Lin's words and nodded firmly.
Zhang Lin pointed at King Kong: "Okay, there is still one last bit of time, I will continue to deduce the life gate of the sacrificial spirit, and I will work hard for you to take good care of him as before." ”
"Don't worry, I'm watching here."
He nodded, and put his head down again.
……
The time for King Kong to be separated from the array spirit was much longer than that of McDonald's.
I looked at Zhang Lin who was buried on the ground anxiously, and didn't dare to disturb him.
Finally, it was still the moment when King Kong's array spirit was about to leave his body.
……
I charmed King Kong with mixed emotions, withdrew my hand, turned my head to look at Zhang Lin, and felt a chill in my heart!
"It's over!"
A hand, already resting on his shoulder.
"Alas......" Zhang Lin sighed, stood up, and looked at me with a strange expression: "Sure enough, I guessed correctly." ”
I was stunned and asked, "What did you guess right?" ”
"This sacrifice spirit...... It's alive. ”
"Alive!?" I felt a chill rushing to my head, and the words on the platform were golden, indicating that this formation must have existed in the early Eastern Zhou Dynasty!
And the sacrificial spirits sacrificed by the formation existed before the formation of the formation.
Because sacrifices are made for the sake of the spirits!
In this way, if this sacrificial spirit is still alive, then his age is at least two thousand two hundred years old!
What the hell is this thing that has survived until now!
"Now is not the time to be surprised," Zhang Lin called me over and asked me for a soul talisman and pasted it on his head: "We don't have much time, I'll make a long story short, you remember it carefully!" ”
I nodded, not daring to interrupt him.
"After you kill a few of us in a moment, you will immediately stand in this circle at my feet."
Zhang Lin took a step back, I looked down, only to find that I don't know when, Zhang Lin had already drawn a formation that looked very complicated, I glanced at his right hand hidden in his sleeve again, and my heart sank.
The fingertips of Zhang Lin's five fingers are already blurred at this time, and the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the blood of the fingertips is also the blood of the heart, or it can also be called the natal essence blood.
"You disperse a few of our array spirits, and the power of the array spirits will all be blessed to you, and then you should be teleported to the area of the true core of this formation, and the sacrifice spirit is in that place."
Zhang Lin pointed to the formation under his feet and continued: "There, your Dao technique should be lifted, and as long as you stand in my formation, I'm afraid that the sacrificial spirit will not be able to help you for a while, it ......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Lin staggered, he shook his head vigorously, tried to stay awake, and continued: "Its lifeline is in the position between the snake and the eagle you said before, you ......"
"Use ...... Soul Power ......"
Zhang Lin's eyes gradually became confused, and at the last moment, he said three words vaguely.
