Text Chapter 38 Book from Heaven
Long Jie looked at the things in front of him, and then at the third grandfather, and his face stopped talking.
The third grandfather was sitting cross-legged on a futon at this time, and the root crutches were placed horizontally on his knees.
"Ask whatever you want. This is a medical quiet room dedicated to Shennongshi, and the privacy is not bad. The third grandfather opened his mouth first.
Long Jie picked up the thin book on the table, pointed to the words on the cover, and asked, "Third grandfather, I don't read many books, don't fool me." The title of this book, which I remember seeing on the Star Network, is a mastery of a martial arts sect in the era of the home planet. ”
The third grandfather smiled.
The old man, with only three teeth left and a wrinkled face, laughed with the illusion of innocence.
"Have you really seen it? But that's what the author of this book has come up with. The third grandfather spread his hands.
"So, this is really a 'Yijin Sutra'." Long Jie sat down on the futon opposite the third grandfather, pouted, and said, "I just don't know where the other 'Washing the Marrow Sutra' is?" ”
The third grandfather showed a look of surprise on his face, and he stopped talking.
After rubbing it on the cover a few times, Long Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his head, and asked, "Third grandfather, how can this thing be opened?" ”
"Oh, you're going to have to confess to it first." After the third grandfather finished speaking, he recited a short passage of the ethnic language similar to the Kui people, and instructed Long Jie to repeat this awkward language more than a dozen times before it was passed.
"Third grandfather, this is the ..... of the Kui people Witch words? Long Jie's face was solemn and asked.
"No, it's just the password of 'open the sesame door', and reading it backwards is 'on', and reading it backwards is 'off'." The third grandfather made a urging gesture: "You try first to see if it fits." ”
Because of Aru Azhuo's relationship, Long Jie didn't think much about it, and according to the instructions of the third grandfather, he used the password and fingertip blood to complete the "confession", and then he reacted and asked: "Fit?" ”
The third grandfather smiled and made a shaking gesture.
Long Jie drew a scoop according to the gourd, and with a shake, a rectangular hollow leather armor-style thing appeared.
Each page of the palm-sized book was exactly a piece of leather armor, intertwined with some kind of extremely tough tendon. The head and neck are put into the hollow place, and there are six pairs of tendon knots at the shoulder blades and two ribs, which are used to tighten and adjust the fit between the "leather armor" and the body.
After Long Jie tried it on, he muttered left and right: "Third grandfather, it's not easy for you to come all the way over." In fact, the current courier service is still very comprehensive. ”
The third grandfather nodded Long Jie with his finger, and said with a smile: "You! I don't know the goods! Well, as you can see, it's a book, but it's pretty good as armor, and it can ignore physical attacks below the Heaven Tier. Now it only recognizes your voice and blood. The 'Sesame Open Door' password is used to control the opening and closing of several of its functions, and I will talk to you in detail later. ”
Long Jie, who was skeptical, was noncommittal, and tried three or two more times to "recite the password like a stream", and then took off the "leather armor" and reorganized it into the previous book, and then said listlessly and perfunctorily: "Okay, then I'll come and read it." ”
"This thing doesn't have page numbers, where do you start?" Long Jie pondered for a moment, but still spread out the book into a "leather armor" style, turned it over and compared the two sides, and finally decided to start with the piece with the words "Yijin Jing" written on it.
There are only those three words on the cover, and in the middle of the bottom is a ghost-like rune, and on the reverse side is a large piece of text like a fly-headed small letter.
“..... The Kuijin Demon Pattern and the Creature Demon Pattern are both based on the Nine Yuan Demon Pattern. The Kuijin magic pattern has the pattern method, the embellishment method, etc., which is drawn according to the needs; The Creature Pattern is basically fixed for every species. However, when I look at the Beast King, I like to eat bait and poison, and if I look closely, it is actually a new creature magic pattern that 'constructs' ......the meridian system."
Reading this, Long Jie couldn't help but look up at the third grandfather, but the latter was already dozing off there, and there was a snoring sound in his mouth and nose.
"This guy's writing is classical Chinese at one time, and vernacular at the other, what era is it?" Taking a deep breath, Long Jie, who complained a little, continued to read.
“...... The so-called 'embellishment method' is one of the techniques of Kuijin's magic painting, which was originally used to connect the different lines of the Kuijin magic pattern. These lines are connected to the practical application of painting magic products, some are plane and plane, some are curved and curved, and some are plane and surface, the specific situation depends on the functionality of each magic pattern and the material and shape of the painted magic product. It is conceivable that if the embellishment method is applied to the Quikin Magic Pattern on the mecha, making the mecha a 'moving' painted magic item, it will inevitably add more variety....."
“...... The Kuiren tree-like meridian system is both a meridian system and a nervous system, with a plate rib at the trunk, which is equivalent to the body of a tree, and a skeleton that is the trunk or root of a tree, and then extends out of the blood vessels and branches...... Human beings have a meridian system and a nervous system, and so on; If we can 'link' these major human systems with the embellishment magic pattern array, it should be possible to form a more efficient 'biological magic pattern' ......."
"The Kui people resist the tide of beasts, and there are casualties in every battle. The meridian system of the injured person is partially blocked or even broken, and the combat power is naturally greatly reduced. Inspired by the bait, I found several wounded Kui warriors, and after obtaining the consent of the other party and the high priest, I tried to implant the Kuijin particles in the bait poison into the damaged parts of the meridians in their bodies to repair them, and finally got a ......."
Seeing this, Long Jie's hands trembled uncontrollably, as if he couldn't bear the weight of the leather armor, slowly put the leather armor on his knees, and muttered to himself: "No wonder every page looks disorganized, it turns out to be an experimental notebook ....."
"So, you can read the book?" The third grandfather didn't know when he had woken up, and when he heard Long Jie's words, he answered.
Long Jie obviously hadn't fully recovered his thoughts, so he just nodded subconsciously.
"So, what's in this book?" The third grandfather asked curiously.
"It's just some text essays, and illustrations or something." Long Jie lifted the "leather armor" horizontally, flipped it over on both sides, pointed his finger casually, and only reacted after speaking, and asked again: "Third grandfather, ...... Illiterate? ”
"I only recognize those three words." The third grandfather tapped the tip of the end of the crutch on the ghost-like rune on the "homepage", and continued: "In my opinion, the others are all ghost-drawn talismans. ”
"Everything else is ..... Ghost painting talisman ......" Long Jie subconsciously repeated, turned the "leather armor" over and fiddled with it three or two times, looked down at those clear and familiar square words, and then looked at the third grandfather, wanted to say and stopped, and finally shook his head and sighed, and said to himself: "This ...... It's really weird. ”
"It's not surprising." The third grandfather waved his hand and said with a smile: "The owner of this thing is the first human person seen in the history of the Kui League, and it was he who taught the Kui people to use the Baiyou language and Baiyou script. ”
He said that the sum of the dialects and words of Baiyou is greater than that of all other human beings combined. However, this kind of ......" The third grandfather shook his head and said, "He said that not everyone can understand it, let alone learn it. Because, this is the 'Book of Heaven'. It's like ordinary people can't understand the wild grass brushwork, these ........ Words are more scribbling than cursive writing for us...... In fact, the Kui people originally only wanted to give this book to you as a leather armor for personal protection, which can be regarded as returning your love for Kui Dao to Kuimeng. After all, more than 200 years have passed, and no one can read this heavenly book. ”
After coughing lightly twice, the third grandfather took out a palm-long, two-finger-thick cylindrical metal from his arms, threw it to Long Jie, and then said: "This turned out to be the spine of the book, and I have always used the contents as the golden needle of acupuncture. Now, of course, it's time to leave it to someone more suitable. ”
Long Jie took the cylindrical object in his hand and shook it twice, and then he played with it curiously.
It is a traditional artwork similar to that of the Baiyou people: a metal object of an oil-paper umbrella with a circular button in the center of the bottom of the handle; With a tap on the button, the miniature "oil-paper umbrella" slowly opens on its own, and each one on the umbrella frame is a gold needle, a little counting, a total of eighteen; In addition, each panel on the umbrella surface should be made of "pages" of the same material as the book in terms of appearance and feel, and the "ghost painting symbols" are painted differently, and the color is the same as the font on the book.
"Third grandfather, what's written on this?" Long Jie pointed to those "ghost drawing talismans" and asked, "These are the same as the three words of 'Yijin Jing', which seem to me to be all wild cursive calligraphy. ”
"Huh?!" The third grandfather, who had always been half-asleep and half-awake, raised his head and stared at Long Jie for a while, his eyes were very different from the previous introverted amiability, and for a while it made people have the illusion of a wolf looking at an eagle.
"Third grandfather, did I say the wrong thing? Your eyes are terrifying right now. Long Jie asked innocently.
The third grandfather smiled, the expression on his face "relaxed", and said to himself: "It turns out that you can really read the 'Book of Heaven'...... More than one person knows about this book; But about the 'Book of Heaven' on the spine, I was the only one who knew about it...... Moreover, I only know that there is a 'wordless heavenly book' on the umbrella surface, and I have never seen it with my own eyes....... It's okay, make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of things, and I'm finally relieved to hand it over to you......" Long Jie listened for a long time, revealing a hint of suddenness, and interrupted the third grandfather's self-talk with a smile, and said: "Third grandfather, you see, I am not a Shennong master, and I can't use the golden needle; I can't understand the 'wordless heavenly book' on it...... Why don't you take it back? ”
"Well, you can't say that. The book and the spine are originally one, and these two things corroborate each other, and it may be possible to interpret those 'wordless heavenly books'. The third grandfather waved his hand and continued: "Besides, how can there be any reason for the things sent out to come back?" ”
"Or else?" Long Jie suggested: "I have memorized all the 'wordless heavenly books' on this umbrella in my mind, and the same can be mutually confirmed with the book, so the golden needle should be handed over to you for safekeeping for the time being." ”
After speaking, Long Jie's eyes were like torches, he slowly flipped over the "oil paper umbrella", looked it up and down, looked inside and out, stopped at exactly two times in time, put away the "oil paper umbrella", and handed it back to the third grandfather with both hands.
"How? Can you see any clues in the overclocking state? The third grandfather took the "oil-paper umbrella" casually and asked curiously.
Long Jie looked dazed, sighed lightly, and shook his head.
The third grandfather looked uneasy, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Those Kuiren warriors who were injured in the fight against the beast tide and their meridians were broken, after being treated by the 'Traveler', there is still one alive, and it is the current Kuiren warrior commander. ”
Although the third grandfather stopped at the point, Long Jie had already obtained enough information from the words, his face was solemn, and he nodded lightly.
After giving Long Jie some tips on the use of books and other aspects, the third grandfather and Long Jie came out of the quiet room, refused the request of Shennong Shi Grandpa Du, Zhang Yang and others to see him off, and walked alone with crutches unhurriedly.
Long Jie, who was sent to the gate, vaguely felt that he had forgotten a very important thing, and only after returning to the dormitory of the Bermuda Military Academy did he remember that he didn't know the address of the third grandfather, and finally he could only comfort himself and wait for Aru Azhuo to come back and ask about it, otherwise the "spine" would probably have to be "kept" by the third grandfather.
"Hey, it's still too weak." Long Jie laughed at himself: "No one is worried about leaving valuables in my hands. ”
