494, human skin puzzle
The "double python cane" pattern we saw on Li Xu's skin before was very small, only half of the thumb cover, and it was not clear to see the details at all, the scepter was a solid oval, Xiaohai and Li Xu thought it should be a gemstone or something like that.
Not really.
The oval on the top of the scepter is actually an eye.
Peng Liang said: "There is a research article on the deep web that mentions that this is called 'Fusu's Eye'. ”
According to the legend, King Jin Jue is not Fusu himself, but the son of Fusu, but the pattern of "double python wrapped around the staff" existed before King Jinjue, so it should be a totem symbol of the Fusu era, and the eyes on the scepter and the eyes on the human skin have the same meaning, that is, although Fusu is dead, the ghost lives on, and looks at you people for generations.
Peng Liang came to the conclusion with reference to various sources that the two pythons wrapped around the scepter were later intended to refer to the people who swore loyalty to him from generation to generation before King Jin Jue's burial, one python represented the army guarding these people, and the other python represented the tomb builder and the healer who studied immortality or may have been the supervisor of the entire team. Far from the world, these people lived in seclusion in the tomb of King Jinjue, and became a small centralized society of their own. The cultivators have long been responsible for the construction and maintenance of various institutions, and they use the Hidden Pattern technique to tattoo clues to the code of the door of life and death on the backs of the army guards, in case the death of the person who holds the code and the tomb door cannot be opened properly.
Every guard in the tomb of King Jin Jue has such an eye on his back.
But not every eye has a clue.
According to the data, there may only be 100 or 200 clues in 10,000 eyes, maybe less, and the base is huge to increase the difficulty of cracking.
And what is in the eyes is just a clue, not the password itself. If you want to get the correct password in the end, you must first find all the eyes with clues, put them together in a certain way, and then find new clues from the final spelling out, what is the specific Peng Liang doesn't know, he only knows that there are people on the deep web who are studying these, and those people call the whole process "human skin puzzle".
Human skin puzzles.
I never thought that this eye was a crucial clue.
Then, my heart was clear and I suddenly realized.
No wonder Su Mosen and they want to make such a big "parasite" experiment in the underground tomb of Chenjiawu, the purpose of they put the "parasite" out is to take back the waiting guards, that is, the eye behind the "black bone man", and want to find the password of the tomb door of King Jin Jue, and then return to the Palace of Eternal Life.
The person who really holds the code of the tomb gate must have died in the massacre, so the only way to return to the Hall of Eternal Life is to find the clues left by the Xiu family when they built the tomb and crack the code.
I suddenly remembered the dazzling glint in his eyes when I showed the piece of human skin in my hand to He Zhiqin that day, and what he said when he repeatedly wanted me to hand over the human skin.
He knew the meaning of this human skin eye.
He Zhiqin knows the meaning of this human skin eye?
I felt a chuckle in my heart, and my face turned a little pale, judging by the cooperation between us for so long, they should not know the meaning of eyes.
I think too much, not necessarily.
But I seem to have to think a little more, what if He Zhiqin really knows? What does that mean? It's kind of scary.
Peng Liang told me that under normal circumstances, these eyes are all the same, a rough outline, and the eyeballs are filled with thin, red lines. These lines should be the tomb map of the place in the tomb of King Jin Jue that was specially used for immortal experiments, because it was originally designed as a difficult labyrinth when it was first built, and there were deadly mechanisms in many places, so the Xiu family thought it was necessary to record these in the human skin eyes as a backup of thoughts, and all the eyes in this part of the content were the same, and there was no problem. The difference is that after the heating and humidification treatment, some hidden content will be revealed.
He took me to the kitchen, boiled a pot of water on the gas stove, put on the steaming rack, put the piece of skin on it, and after a while, the change came out, but unlike the last time we saw behind Li Xu, the "double python cane" pattern in this eye appeared on the left, and the change was only there, and there was no blood-like red in the middle eyeball.
I looked at it for a while, and then thought for a while, and the "double python cane" pattern appeared on the left and right, and the eyes turned red and did not turn red, perhaps to distinguish between useful and useless. Peng Liang had said that each of the guards guarding the tomb of King Jin Jue had an eye tattooed on their back, but only a few of the eyes contained clues about the code.
This guess should be correct, that is to say, the eye behind Li Xu has a clue, and now this one is useless.
As for what kind of clues are hidden in the eyes, Peng Liang doesn't know, saying that unless he finds more than half of the human skin eyes to make puzzles, he may be able to know what it will be like in the end, and maybe he can deduce the final result through various calculations. But first, he didn't know what the total number of human skin eyes with clues was hidden; secondly, even if he knew the total, he didn't know where to go to find so many people's skin eyes; Again, even if he found them all, he didn't know how to spell them.
So, in his opinion, there is no solution to this problem.
I silently walked back to sit cross-legged next to the pile of materials, and suddenly remembered Xia Dongyi's painting. In the authentic painting that Zhou Changshou gave us, there is a hollow circle painted with fluorescent paint. We have done various analyses and speculations on this clue, thinking that Xia Dongyi is using the way of the Go chessboard to reveal or record something, and then look at the eyes on this human skin, the hollow eyeball in the middle is exactly the same as the hollow circle in Xia Dongyi's painting, so I am almost immediately sure that Xia Dongyi's painting is an imitation and derivation of the human skin eye, and the password clue hidden in the human skin eye is also hidden in Xia Dongyi's painting, so there will be so many people crazy to buy Xia Dongyi's painting!
This shows that Xia Dongyi knows the password of the tomb of King Jinjue.
Oh no, he probably just knew how the "human skin puzzle" system worked, and then pretended to know the password of the tomb door, and imitated the code clues in the way of drawing, which was used to lure out the crazy people hiding in the shadows.
He only painted about 30 paintings, but let Zhou Changshou claim that there were 81 paintings, which shows that the password clue is just a bait in his hands, and it has no practical significance.
The legendary "above" and the people of the Japanese Fujiwara family, this one is really not shallow, it takes so much time and effort and so much money, and it is played around by Xia Dongyi.
In this way, I seem to be even more confused about what Xia Dongyi wants to do, and I don't understand what his ultimate goal is.
He was neither a teammate of Su Mosen and Uncle Shu, nor was he clearly an ally of the "above" or the Japanese Fujiwara family.
He is not anywhere, but he occupies a very important part of the whole thing, and it seems that there is a shadow of him in every link.
He intervened in Li Xu's life with her and her mother when she was still very young; She guided me in the direction of my life shortly after Su Mosen's disappearance, when I had just gained property and freedom; The "Hand of God" series of cases he designed and planned and carried out with the help of Yang Wenshuo is tantamount to revealing to the world the shocking secret that "a person's soul can be transferred to another body through a special channel"; He painted those paintings in order to find out the people who were most interested in the tomb of King Jinjue, and finally led out two big fish, judging from Xia Xiaoyu's voice, the Japanese side was not their main target, that is, their target was the "top" that had always existed around me but never appeared.
What did Xia Dongyi do his best to draw out the "above"? Ally with them and return to the tomb of King Jinjue? Or is it that you are enemies of them and want to destroy them?
Although the possibility of the former is not zero, I think it is still the latter, because if Xia Dongyi really wants to form an alliance with the "above", after he has made so many moves, he doesn't have to do anything at all, and the "above" will also accurately find him and form an alliance with him. In fact, this kind of thing didn't happen, so no matter what Xia Dongyi's ultimate goal was, he was definitely not in the same league as the legendary "above".
I closed my eyes and thought back to Xia Dongyi's appearance, thin and tall, with a gloomy expression, his eyes were like some kind of cold and precise instrument, and he couldn't feel the temperature.
What does a "hand of God" without temperature mean to human beings? Well-being, or havoc?
Only God knows.
Peng Liang told me some other information about the tomb of King Jinjue, he mapped the location of Lion's Heart Ridge and Lion's Heart Canyon on the map of Jiangcheng, and said that he walked along the canyon all the way to the primeval forest.
Lionheart Canyon is the only way to enter the primeval forest from Jiangcheng, and when Peng Liang went to investigate, he heard that there was an arsenal or something like a base there, so it was heavily guarded, and no one outside was allowed to enter.
I think that this heavily guarded base is not an arsenal at all, but the place where Chang Kun and them work—the research center for the study of abnormal humans.
There are also some topographical maps of the area, the forest with abundant rain, and a lot of rare wildlife.
In addition, there is a lot of information that I don't understand at all, Peng Liang explained that I don't need to understand, it's all academic things, geological exploration and water quality testing nearby, and now tomb robbing is also a high-tech operation, and all aspects are considered.
He flipped through the materials quickly, and I caught a glimpse of a very strange drawing, which seemed to be the kind of token shape that often appears in costume dramas, and there were patterns on it, and my heart moved, and I instinctively thought of the sentence "Those who get the ghost order win the world", thinking that this should be the legendary golden trick ghost order, and quickly reached out and pulled out the drawing to look at it carefully.
It's really a token, but it's not a photo, it's a black and white hand-drawn drawing, and there's a hideous ghost on the token, and there are a few words next to it that I can't understand, which is about the meaning of the token.
