Chapter 221: Jumbled Text
Seeing this "sapphire", I suddenly thought of the "ruby" found in the Lin family's old house, that "ruby" is actually a piece of dragon crystal, which contains the dragon soul, so what is this "sapphire" in front of me?
I was wondering, suddenly I felt the stone in my hand slightly hot, I didn't react to what's going on, the incomparably hard "sapphire" actually melted in my palm, I raised my hand to see, the sapphire turned into a blue mist, and was quickly penetrating into my body through the skin of my palm.
I couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly shook my hand, trying to ask for this blue mist, but to no avail, but in a blink of an eye, the blue mist all seeped into my body.
Wen Qingshan noticed the abnormality that happened to me, and said in surprise: "Shi Yu, where did you get that stone just now?" ”
I looked at my palm and replied, "I don't know what's going on, it seems to have atomized and penetrated into my body." ”
"What!? So how do you feel right now? Wen Qingshan hurriedly rushed over and grabbed my palm to check.
There was nothing unusual in my palm, and Wen Qingshan asked me again, "How does your body feel!?" ”
"It's just that it feels a little hot, and the others seem to be ......" Before I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a strong air flow rushing through my body.
Suddenly, my internal organs seemed to be smashed, and the pain was so great that I couldn't bear it for a while, screamed, and fell to the ground and rolled back and forth.
Long Yi thought that I was evil, and immediately took out a black demon talisman to help me exorcise the evil spirit, who expected, the black demon talisman was just pasted on my brain, and it immediately spontaneously combusted without fire, and turned into ashes in a blink of an eye.
Long Yi was taken aback, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Shiyu, are you ...... What's wrong with you? ”
Although I was in excruciating pain at this moment, my consciousness was still clear enough to hear what Ryuichi was saying, and I wanted to answer him, but when I opened my mouth, I couldn't say anything, as if my throat was stuck in something.
Everyone didn't know what happened to me, they all gathered around, Wen Qingshan hurriedly told everyone what happened to me, and I finally fainted because I was in too much pain.
When I woke up, everyone else was gathered around me, looking at me with anxious eyes, seeing that I was awake, Wen Qingshan couldn't wait to ask, "Shi Yu, how do you feel now?" ”
I shook my head, I didn't feel very dizzy, and I touched my stomach again, it was like my body was burned by fire, and I didn't feel any discomfort at this time, it was really strange, I was about to die in pain just now, but now there is nothing at all.
"I seem to be fine." I replied as I stood up.
Ouyang Yi looked at me with shocked eyes, he didn't seem to believe what Wen Qingshan said, and asked, "Mr. Wen said that just now a stone was atomized and integrated into your palm?" ”
I nodded: "That's true, I don't know how." ”
Ouyang Yi immediately turned his head to Long Yi and said, "Take all the remaining stones away!" Take it back and study it! ”
"Yes!" Long Yi immediately took out a metal sealed bucket and prepared to put all the remaining stones in the coffin into the sealed bucket, but when he turned around and looked into the coffin, he shouted, "What about those stones! ”
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly leaned over and looked into the coffin, but it was empty, and there were still shadows of those strange "sapphires", which had long since disappeared.
Ouyang Yi seemed to understand something, and said: "Presumably, these stones are some kind of special substance, and they can only be sealed in the ebony coffin with extremely heavy yin qi, because we opened the coffin, the yin and evil aura inside was affected, and this stone reacted with the external aura, so it was atomized." ”
"Then why did the mist after atomization penetrate into Shi Yu's body?" Wen Qingshan asked.
Ouyang Yi picked up my palm and looked at it, and said, "At that time, Brother Shi Yu was holding that stone with his palm spread. ”
I nodded.
Ouyang Yi said: "That's right! The mist produced by the stone must be much heavier than the air, so after the atomization, it naturally sank into the palm of the Shi Yu brother's hand, as for why it penetrated into the Shi Yu brother's body, it is unknown, after all, we haven't been able to understand the material composition of the stone! However, some gaseous objects do have good permeability and can penetrate the human body, such as the infamous sarin gas, which can penetrate the human body through the skin. ”
"Wait! Could this mist also be toxic!? Hearing Ouyang Yi mention the sarin poison gas, Long Yi said worriedly.
He didn't know that I had an invulnerable physique, and if it was really just a poisonous gas, I wasn't worried.
Ouyang Yi's analysis seems to have some truth, but I feel that things are probably not so simple, when I got the stone, I felt that it was quite hard, and the process of its atomization was extremely short, almost instantaneous, I didn't even have time to react before it disappeared in my palm, if a chemical reaction of a certain substance occurred, it should be a slow and cyclical process, at least not so fast.
Moreover, after the mist seeped into my body just now, the feeling of burning my internal organs was actually something I once had, when I inadvertently inhaled the dragon soul qi contained in the dragon crystal, it was exactly this feeling! This may indicate that the mist that seeped into my body had some effect on my body's aura.
This can't help but make me feel a little worried, the last time I inhaled the dragon soul qi was a fluke that made me stronger, so what will happen if I inhale the mist formed by this "sapphire" this time?
Thinking about it, I didn't say anything much in front of everyone, and everyone was relieved to see that I was fine.
Ouyang Yi and Long Yi carefully examined the ebony coffin again, and found that on the inner wall of the coffin, there was a strange pattern engraved, which was composed of several strange words that looked like symbols.
Ouyang Yi stared at the pattern for a while and said, "This seems to be a talisman!" ”
"What is this? I've never seen these words before. Dr. Ouyang, do you know what this text is? Ryuichi asked.
Ouyang Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it either, it's a bit like an oracle bone inscription, I think it should be a long-lost ancient hieroglyph. ”
Listening to their conversation, I also leaned my head curiously and stared at the pattern carved into the inner wall of the coffin.
This pattern is square as a whole, composed of dense characters, and as Ouyang Yi said, these characters are a bit like oracle bone inscriptions, but they are crooked and disorganized.
It is also a coincidence, not long ago, I found a copy of "Iron Cloud Hidden Turtle" written by Liu He in the late Qing Dynasty in Wen Qingshan's study, which is actually an oracle bone dictionary, out of curiosity, I took it and flipped through it, although I did not study any doorway, but also mastered the meaning of some relatively simple oracle bone characters.
I looked closely at the characters in the pattern, hoping to find a few familiar ones.
Looking at it, I suddenly felt that the characters in that pattern were floating, and they were still moving slowly! I couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly rubbed my eyes, and when I looked again, the pattern was still the same, and it hadn't changed in the slightest.
It seemed that I had been staring at it for too long, so I was a little dazzled, and I closed my eyes for a while, and then continued to stare at the pattern. But after a while, the characters floated in front of my eyes again.
I couldn't help but wonder, there was nothing wrong with my eyes, how could this happen? I was feeling strange in my heart, and suddenly I realized that the floating characters seemed to be rearranging and combining.
I couldn't help but feel a thrill in my heart, and said secretly: Is it possible that as long as you keep staring at this pattern, you can see the connotation of this pattern!? Thinking of this, my eyes widened and I stared intently at the pattern.
After a while, the originally chaotic characters in the pattern were neatly arranged in two lines in front of me.
It's a pity that I don't know these words, and I don't know what these two lines mean. However, I vaguely feel that the meaning of these two lines of words is heavy, and there may be some big secret hidden. So I secretly memorized these two lines of characters.
Because it's a character I've never seen before, I can only memorize strokes, but the strokes of these weird characters are more complicated, not just simple horizontal and vertical skimming, it's not easy to memorize more than 20 characters from memory. However, because of the perennial drawing of symbols and contact with ancient scripts, I am more sensitive to this kind of character, and I can barely remember it.
It took me a few minutes to memorize the two dozen characters.
Because I stared at it for too long, my eyes hurt so much that I couldn't do it, so I hurriedly closed my eyes and recuperated for a while. When I opened my eyes again, the pattern was restored to its original appearance. Just in case, I quickly took out a pen and paper and copied the pattern. In this way, even if I can't remember those characters for a while, I can still find some clues in this pattern, after all, those characters are contained in this pattern, and they are just chaotic.
The others didn't know what I was busy with, and Long Yi asked, "Brother Shiyu, what are you doing?" ”
I smiled and said, "I'm more interested in the talisman, so I'll copy this pattern and go back to study it!" "Speaking of which, it occurred to me that if I could see the peculiarities of this pattern, what about the others?
I looked up and asked, "By the way, did you notice anything special about this pattern?" ”
Long Yi was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically, "What's special?" ”
"It's just that the characters in the pattern seem to change slowly."
"What's changed?" Ryuichi looked dazed, as if he didn't understand what I was talking about.
