The night was dark.

Wen Shuo sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, but he didn't settle down to practice, closing his eyes and thinking about the bronze tripod and the pile of broken coffin fragments.

The runes on the bronze tripod and the magic circle composed of it, he could speculate that it should be related to alchemy, because it involves pharmacology and the mediation and change of the state of the five elements of the human body- Although there is no relevant medical knowledge in the metaphysics taught by Lao Hantou, Wen Shuo learned a lot of medical knowledge from Song Zhaosheng, especially when he first met, Song Zhaosheng left a pile of sketches of the operation of many aspects of the human body from the perspective of Chinese medicine theory, and then Wen Shuo's metaphysics as the outline, so that the fat man has a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine than most people, and even some Chinese medicine.

Of course, as for the specific effects of those runes and magic circles, to what extent they could reach, Wen Shuo did not know.

However, based on his own analysis of the mystical method, he felt that the magic circle on the bronze tripod was flawed.

If there is no corresponding circle to work with, the circle cannot be activated.

Of course, this is just his own speculation and judgment.

After all, he didn't know what the names of the runes and magic circles on the bronze tripod were, and what the principle of operation was. Perhaps in the Song Dynasty, the tomb owner's cultivation of the mystic method could be activated and achieved with the runes and magic circles on the bronze tripod.

However, any mystic method must emphasize the fullness of heaven and earth, and the harmony of yin and yang, even if yin and yang have a large proportion of imbalance, they must not be completely lacking.

And the runes and magic circles on the bronze tripod are actually pure trigram directions.

Not only that, but in the Tianqian hexagram, it is also full of pure yang.

This is unreasonable.

And if the runes are added to the outside to lay down the magic circle, so as to echo the magic circle on the bronze tripod from afar, yin and yang, so as to operate, it will not work. Because in that case, it belongs to the situation of two opposite attributes, which is difficult to connect, but will be repulsed.

After thinking for a long time and not getting an answer, Wen Shuo opened his eyes a little irritably.

Bright moonlight pours in through the glass windows.

Xiaoqing sat quietly on the windowsill, learning from her father's meditation, cross-legged, closed her eyes, and inhaled the five elements of aura between heaven and earth evenly and long.

Seeing his daughter, the anxiety in Wen Shuo's heart suddenly disappeared.

He didn't disturb Xiaoqing's practice.

Since tailoring the basic cultivation steps of the Xuanfa for Jin Chirui, Wen Shuo was afraid that Xiaoqing, whose spiritual wisdom was growing, would be too bored, so he taught her to practice as well.

The method is similar to Jin Chirui's practice.

Because Xiaoqing is now a spirit body after his physique has gradually solidified, just like the meridian essence state of Jin Chirui who does not have a normal person in his body, he is always connected with heaven and earth, so there is no need to store the essence, broaden the meridians, and open up the difficult cultivation process such as Zhou Tian.

Jin Chirui and Xiaoqing's cultivation is just slowly becoming familiar with the five elements of the aura between heaven and earth, the frequency state when it is in contact with the body, and how to control it.

When you can smoothly and flexibly use your consciousness to control the degree of coherence with heaven and earth, you can start the altar practice.

Seeing Xiaoqing practicing there in a decent manner, the fat man suddenly thought of something else.

Xiaoqing used to be yin and evil qi, and gradually became a essence, although she absorbed vitality and blood, but she still belonged to the pure yin state before.

It wasn't until he devoured Qin Luofeng's primordial spirit that he gradually turned into a spirit and became a spirit body.

In this way, she now has a true state of yin and yang, so that she can practice the Xuanfa with her unique advantages.

If it weren't for that, she would just be able to connect with heaven and earth.

And Qin Luofeng's primordial spirit is pure yang, Xiaoqing is pure yin, devouring pure yang with a pure yin body, which is unreasonable in itself.

It's just that Xiao Qing secretly devoured it at the beginning, and there was no major problem, but it seemed to be beneficial, Wen Shuo tried to let Xiao Qing swallow it little by little every day, until now the spirit body is more and more substantial, and Qin Luofeng's Yuan Shen has also been eaten by a third.

A flash of inspiration came to Wen Shuo's mind!

The reason why Xiaoqing was able to devour the Pure Yang Yuan Shen was because she lived in the magic circle of the jade pendant, and indirectly devoured the pure Yang Yuan Shen with the help of the magic circle.

In this process, there is a magic circle that operates to neutralize the pure yang of the primordial god and the pure yin of Xiaoqing.

And the rune circle of the bronze tripod is a hexagram and pure yang.

So from a theoretical point of view, this can only be half of the magic circle, if you want to operate, you need other magic circles or something else to guide and merge in the center, and then connect with the other half of the Kun hexagram pure yin magic circle, so that it is a complete magic circle.

Where is that half of the circle?

Where is the circle that guides in the center?

Dry for the sky, Kun for the earth!

Wen Shuo suddenly understood, and with a smile and excitement on his face, he got up and paced back and forth in the room.

The coffins in the ancient tombs have decayed and broken, but the tombs under the coffins are made of stones and surrounded by drainage ditches.

The tomb platform under the coffin must be strange.

And under the tomb, that is, on the other side where the stones of the tomb are piled up, there are likely runes and magic circles!

A circle of pure yin.

The bronze tripod is connected to the sky with a pure yang magic array laid down by the Qiangua, and there is a pure yin magic array under the tomb to attract the earth's qi.

Heaven and earth are together!

Thinking of this, Wen Shuo couldn't help but start thinking again, what was the purpose of the tomb owner, to make such a complicated magic circle in the tomb after he died.

The royal mausoleum, the tomb of the prince and the general, has to be placed and can afford to have a status, so the matter of burying the dead is so complicated and luxurious, but the owner of this ancient tomb is obviously not the master of a high-ranking family.

First of all, the tomb is of ordinary scale;

Second, it is a single tomb, not an ethnic burial group.

This shows that the family of the tomb owner is very small or even extinct.

It's really weird.

Xiaoqing was disturbed by Wen Shuo's footsteps walking back and forth, and woke up from her cultivation state, tilting her head and looking curiously at her father, sometimes frowning, sometimes delighted, after a while, she jumped up and floated to her father's shoulder.

"Huh?" Wen Shuo was stunned, turned his head to look at Xiaoqing, and said with surprise and some doting: "Okay, girl, you're fat, Dad feels that you're heavy." ”

Xiaoqing happily floated up and played in the room.

She really has weight.

Although her weight is almost imperceptible to ordinary people, Wen Shuo has practiced the mystical method so far, her six senses are keen, and her body sense is extremely clear, coupled with the relationship with Xiaoqing, so that Xiaoqing will feel it immediately even if he has a little weight.

"Qing'er. Wen Shuo sat on the edge of the bed and said softly, "You say, what did that old guy in the ancient tomb plan to do before he died?"

Xiaoqing floated down from the roof, sat on Wen Shuo's lap, snuggled up to his chest, looked up at him curiously, and then a wisp of consciousness passed to Wen Shuo's thoughts: "What is death, why do you want to live in an ancient tomb?"

Wen Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Dead, it's just gone." ”

Xiaoqing became more and more puzzled.

"If it is gone, it is the disappearance of consciousness, that is, everything a person has, his family wealth, relatives and friends, and all his life experiences, all the past, memories, and thoughts are all gone. Wen Shuo's heart suddenly darkened, and he smiled: "But it's not all gone, the continuation of life lies in the inheritance of civilization, thought, and his blood! ”

Xiaoqing was confused.

Wen Shuo seemed to think of something, looking out of the window where the moon was like frost, thinking about the bronze tripod, under the tomb platform of the tomb, the magic circle that might exist, and the owner of the tomb......

Could it be that the purpose of his doing this is to extend his life to some extent?!

Throughout the ages, how many people have pursued immortality and eternity?

The upper inheritance of the heavens, the lower grounding method, in the tomb representing death to lay such a delicate magic circle, the bronze tripod rune array has the effect of alchemy.

The goal of the tomb owner's survival seems to be obvious.

It was past seven o'clock the next morning.

Wen Shuo and Yang Jingbin had an early meal and rushed to the site of the excavation of the ancient tomb.

"Wen Shuo, you, are you sure there is a rune array down here?" Yang Jingbin looked a little embarrassed and worried, and said: "The ancient tomb has been basically destroyed, and these stone archaeological working groups have also been roughly surveyed, and there is no preservation value, if you want to dig out all these stones, you have to use mechanical equipment and a large number of personnel to carry out professional cleaning work." A lot of times, no one wants to do this kind of thing, if it doesn't work out in the end......"

Wen Shuo shook his head.

He wasn't sure if there would be runes and circles underneath the tombstone, as these were purely his own speculations.

Yang Jingbin said again: "This, after all, is not a tomb of princes and generals." ”

"Teacher. Wen Shuo said: "You taught us that archaeology is a process of discovery, we are constantly disappointed in the exploration, looking for hope, since there is a certain basis for speculation, we should go to see it." ”

"Can you be a little more sure?" Yang Jingbin sneered and said embarrassedly: "Everyone understands the truth, but it is not easy to convince them." ”

"Well, I'll take a look. ”

Wen Shuo nodded, he could understand Yang Jingbin's difficulties, and he could also understand the difficulties of the local archaeological unit and the archaeological working group.

The sky was already bright.

Wen Shuo bent down and walked slowly around the tomb, carefully observing.

The archaeological team has done a good job of cleaning up, except for the decaying coffin in the middle of the tomb, the drainage ditches around the tomb, and the edges of the tomb, have been cleaned clean, and the gaps in the cornerstones can be cleared, as well as some not-so-clear lines on the cornerstones—just like the inevitable traces left when these cornerstones are chiseled.

Wen Shuo didn't take these irregular traces seriously at first, because they were intermittent and there was no trace of regularity, so it was categorically impossible to be a rune mark.

But after walking two laps, Wen Shuo finally found a pattern.

The intermittent chisel marks of different lengths, different shades and widths, all were diagonally upward, but none of them were diagonally downward.

This doesn't make sense.

Even if these stones are built on the tomb platform and then chiseled and trimmed into a flat surface, it should be a chisel mark from top to bottom.

If it is a chiseled and trimmed stone, fill it in and build it into a tomb......

How is it so coincidental that all the stones are reversed, and the chisel marks are from the bottom up?
