Chapter 84: Words and History

The place where Zhao Shenlu stretched out his hand was a jade seal held by the woman's hands, the style was simple, but it had an extraordinary meaning.

It was the personal seal of the Holy Sect Master.

Generally speaking, this kind of private seal is not used much, in the ruling pattern of the Xiangzhou Continent, the Holy Sect is already in a transcendent position, and the limited manpower in the Wanxiang Garden is simply not enough to manage the entire continent, so most of the practice is entrusted to the special personnel of the Three Courtyards, and those special personnel are further contracted to the Seventh Family and the various sects. On this basis, there are only a handful of major events that need to alarm the sect master. And even if the sect master came forward, it was mostly verbal instructions, and there were very few places where written seals were used, not to mention that even if they were seals, they were mostly used with the sect seal of the Holy Sect, not the private seal of the sect master.

Therefore, all along, Zhao Shenlu only knew that the previous sect masters would have their own private seals, similar in style to the sect seal, slightly smaller in size, but he had never really seen the real thing, and now when he saw it, he was immediately shocked and inexplicable.

Imirae...... How could this happen!? ”

As he spoke, Zhao Shenlu couldn't help but reach out and grab the seal, but his wrist was blocked by a dull sword aura in mid-air.

"Don't touch it, there is no space-time anchor on the seal, and you can't afford to touch foreign objects."

Zhao Shenlu let out a sigh, calmed down, realized that he was in a hurry, and asked, "Honey, I'm not mistaken, right?" Is it 'Imirae'? ”

"That's right, the pattern on it is very standard......" Wang Jiu paused for a long time before he said, "Demon Text." ”

Demon script, demon script.

As a powerful civilization across all worlds, the demon race naturally has its own writing system, and it is very similar to the writing of the Kyushu continent, which belongs to hieroglyphs, but the complexity is much higher, and it was not until the later stage of the Immortal and Demon War that the humans of Kyushu barely cracked the writing system of the demon race. And Wang Jiu and Zhao Shenlu were precisely the experts in deciphering the magic script at that time.

Demon civilization has many similarities with human civilization, and individual naming is one of them - many races do not have individual names.

And the demon clan not only has an individual name, but when it comes to the demon general, the individual name is unique, and has exclusive supernatural powers, for example, the demon clan with the name of "Alabati Ahdowl" has most of the magical powers such as corrosion and burning, and the demon clan with the name of "Had" is mostly good at physical attacks such as tearing and piercing. But the specific internal connection, even if it is as professional as the Outer Heaven Sword, is only the first glimpse. Until the end of the war, he and the Nine Immortal Venerables had only preliminarily deciphered the rules of reading and writing and grammar of the Demon Script, and the deeper rules were still in the exploration stage.

Yimilae, according to Wang Jiu's memory, although it is a standard magic script, it is a very awkward magic script, as if it is a sick sentence that forcibly twists two unrelated contents together...... But at this time, the grammatical issue is not critical, the key is that this kind of writing, which should have disappeared forever with the demons, why did it appear on the private name seal of the Holy Sect Sect Master in a grand manner!?

"Probably not in ...... Joke. Zhao Shenlu's voice was a little dry, "If it were someone else, it would be fine, but the Holy Sect has a half-understanding of the Immortal and Demon War back then, they have explored the most ruins of the Flood Desolation, and they have the most comprehensive historical materials, and they will definitely not mess around with the problem of the demon race." And the material of this name is the red jade of Wanxiangyuan, which is a unique substance formed by the bloodstained white jade mountain in Kyushu and wandering in the chaos for thousands of years, which is very rare, I will not admit it. ”

There is nothing wrong with the material, that is to say, this sect master's name badge is a genuine sect master certification, but it is engraved with the words of the demon clan, that is to say......

"Is it possible that posterity tampered with...... No way. Zhao Shenlu muttered to himself while denying this answer, "This kind of ruby has very special physical characteristics, a ruby can only be processed once, once it is subjected to secondary processing, it will be crushed immediately, so the words on the name seal cannot be tampered with by later generations." What's more, who else on the Xiangzhou continent can write magic scripts now? By the way, this magic script is really standard, and according to the aesthetics of the demons, the calligraphy may be better than mine. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shenlu's face was already pale.

The calligraphy of the Nine Immortals Venerable is second only to Lu Jintong, and even Lu Jintong, who is the best at writing magic scripts, can't write such a standard magic script.

The writing of the demon script is not only to outline the lines, but to have an extremely deep insight and understanding of the internal laws of the demon race. In this regard, Lu Jintong was far superior to the others, only inferior to the Outer Heaven Divine Sword. Although the insight ability of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword is proud of the world, the talent for calligraphy is really pathetic......

But in any case, if even the Nine Immortal Venerables can't write such a standard magic script, that is......

Thinking of this, Zhao Shenlu was simply creepy.

What a hell of a thing.

To say that the Holy Sect and the Demon Clan have colluded, it is too incredible, first of all, Wang Jiu himself has lived in Wanxiangyuan, he has long suspected that the Holy Sect has a problem, and has used the Demon Sword many times to find a connection with the Demon Clan, but every time he is tempted, the results show the innocence of the Holy Sect. Secondly, the sect master cultivated Wang Jiu as the next sect master, and the cost paid during the period was absolutely not false, if the Holy Sect really had an affair with the demon clan, how could he dare to worship the demon nemesis as the leader in a grand manner?

Not to mention...... In the past few decades, Zhao Shenlu has dealt with the Holy Sect a lot, as one of the Nine Immortal Venerables back then, she doesn't think that she will be so dull that she doesn't know anything about the demon clan that is close at hand, if the Holy Sect really colludes with the demon clan, she shouldn't have waited for the Heavenly Divine Sword to wake up, she should have seen it a long time ago!

At this time, Wang Jiu opened his mouth and said: "Try to think about other possibilities, excessive associations will only disturb memorialism, what we see is only a name medal engraved with a demon script, as for all other conclusions, it is just our own deduction." ”

Zhao Shenlu nodded: "I know, so what other possibilities are there to exclude the most unlikely option?" For example, although the magic text on this seal is a standard demon handwriting, the processing seal can be engraved and other methods, not necessarily by the demon hand, or it may be that this women's pervert saw the text left by the demon when she was young, and thought the pattern was very beautiful, so she engraved it on the seal......"

Wang Jiu asked, "Engrave the incomprehensible ghost painting talisman on the red jade medallion that symbolizes the identity of the sect master?" ”

“…… Anyway, he may not need it a few times in his life, except for himself, who else knows what he engraved on the name badge? Speaking of this, Zhao Shenlu seemed to have an inspiration, and added, "After the Holy Sect Master is absorbed into the sect, he must give up everything he has in the past to avoid personal feelings interfering with official affairs, including his former name. So could this be a kind of revenge psychology of her broken jar and broken fall? The Holy Sect asked her to abandon her former name, so she simply chose a ridiculous current name to take revenge on society......"

Wang Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, so it's best to find other sect masters to compare and confirm the situation, so that you can know if this is her personal behavior or if there is something else...... Do you know the name of the current Sect Master? ”

Zhao Shenlu shrugged: "I don't know, I keep calling him old man...... But then again, I really can't think of the real names of a few Holy Sect Sect Masters. Normally, when they take office, they abandon their former names and are then referred to as 'suzerains', rarely referred to by their first names. In the past, I thought that this was the Holy Sect's attempt to highlight his status and create an atmosphere of 'sole sect master', but now that I think about it, it is indeed a little strange. ”

Wang Jiu thought about it for a while, but he didn't know the point, and shook his head: "Since this is the case, the only way to confirm the situation is to find the person concerned." ”

——

After that, the two returned to shore from the deep sea area of the Netherworld.

The turbulence of time and space, which trapped the expedition group three hundred years ago, did not hinder the return journey of the two at all, and they rode the wind and waves all the way, and soon saw the golden sandy beach and a white tower on the beach that was beginning to take shape. Several monks from Qinglian Academy, who are good at civil engineering, are using their fingers together, commanding a group of strong puppets to add bricks and tiles to the tower.

The rest of the monks mostly collected samples of seawater, sand grains and marine life on the beach, although this team was impromptu by Wang Jiu, but at this time it had already shown orderly order and very high research efficiency.

On the top of the white tower, the monk in charge of measuring the direction of the wind and the sunlight was the first to see Wang Jiu and Zhao Shenlu, with a surprised expression on his face, and asked softly, "Dean, are you back so soon?" What's the catch? ”

Zhao Shenlu glanced at Wang Jiu and saw that he had no objection, so he smiled and said, "It's beyond imagination." ”

The monk's pupils suddenly contracted, his nostrils opened, the blood circulation in his whole body accelerated, and even his lower body tended to be congested.

"Super, beyond imagination? Can we see the sample? As he spoke, he kept rolling his throat and swallowing saliva.

Zhao Shenlu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, glanced at Wang Jiu, and saw the same gaze in the other party's eyes.

The woman fell into memories slightly, in the Kyushu era, Concubine Shang was always surrounded by such a group of madmen who regarded research work as a lifelong interest and even sexual interest, and even the charm of the first beauty in Kyushu could not shake them. These people, without exception, have physical and psychological distortions, but they really push the civilization of the entire Kyushu forward.

Today's Xiangzhou Continent has also bred the same research madman, and the samples collected in the Netherworld Sea this time are suitable for them to practice.

So, after seeking Wang Jiu's consent, Zhao Shenlu handed over a bottle of silvery-white powder and a carefully cut jade fragment to the monks of the academy.

"Let's analyze it, give us the results in a week, and see how far you can go."

——

Not surprisingly, the samples collected by Wang Jiu and Zhao Shenlu in the depths of the Netherworld Sea caused the monks of the academy to boil.

The Xuanyin, which was completely decayed after 10,000 years of being refined by the chaotic time and space, and the jade that was immortal for 10,000 years after blessing the space-time anchor, were all miracles beyond the existing Immortal Dao theory.

And this kind of miracle that goes beyond the framework of existing theories means that once they are analyzed, they can completely reform existing theories and advance civilization in great strides. And everyone who is the promoter will go down in history.

For the people of Qinglian Academy, the attraction of going down in history is not great - what is there to care about a history book written to a group of mediocre and stupid people? However, breaking through the existing theoretical framework and opening up new research horizons is a more attractive temptation than anything else.

And the difficulty of this research project is just at the edge of their ability limit - the expedition group three hundred years ago was able to break through the limit in a desperate situation and find the production method of the time and space anchor, and today's Qinglian Academy can naturally do the same thing.

However, compared to the study of time and space and swordsmanship, Wang Jiu was naturally more concerned about the demon text on the sect master's name seal.

When he returned to the shore from the Netherworld, the Outer Heaven Sword Spirit began to have a bad premonition in his heart, as if he had fallen into a huge trap.

It's too unusual, it's too coincidental.

However, after he blew himself up on the magic sword, he found this seal engraved with magic scripts. That seal seemed to Wang Jiu like a key that was about to open a terrifying door. And after losing the Finger Demon Sword, Wang Jiu could no longer be as comfortable as before.

But reflecting on his previous decision, Wang Jiu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with destroying the Demon Sword, he had clearly felt that there might be clues related to the Demon Clan several times before, but the Demon Sword couldn't give a result several times. You really don't need such a sword. In fact, when the Demon Sword was shattered, he didn't point out the magic seal in the captain's room to Wang Jiu.

Although rational analysis, all this can also be reasonably explained - the magic text on the seal is indeed a special kind of ghost painting, and the person who engraves the seal has nothing to do with the demons, let alone understands the power laws of the demons, so the carved demon inscriptions have no shape, and they may indeed not be able to trigger the reaction of the demon sword......

But rather than this far-fetched explanation, Wang Jiu would rather believe that there is a deeper causal connection behind the matter.

And now the only clue he can find is the current sect master.

——

Blue Lotus Academy, Stygian Sea Temporary Beach Research Institute. Wang Jiu used the Qinglian Wanxiang Diagram to contact the sect master.

On the picture scroll, the figure of the sect master appeared in an instant, and when the old man saw Wang Jiu, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he was slightly surprised.

"Oh? You and Zhao Shenlu have already completed sampling? It's so efficient. ”

The Sect Master's voice sounded relaxed, as always, without the frame of the Holy Sect Master.

But Wang Jiu couldn't face him as easily as before.

When facing people and things related to the demon race, the Outer Heaven Excalibur never has a relaxed mood.

Therefore, the sword spirit responded to the sect master with a serious and clear gaze, and then asked, "Can you let me take a look at your private seal?" ”

"Private seal?" The sect master was stunned by this endless question, "Yes, yes, I'll find it later." ”

After speaking, the figure of the old man disappeared from the Qinglian Wanxiang diagram, leaving only a slightly distant voice still coming.

"I don't use that stamp very much, so I don't take it with me, and the last time I used it was three years ago...... So I'm going to dig through the box. But what do you want to see that thing for? What did you find in the Netherworld? ”

Zhao Shenlu groaned beside him for a while, and responded, "We found Yimilae." ”

"Imirae?" The voice in Qinglian's Wanxiang diagram paused, and then repeated the four syllables in a long tone, "Yi, Mi, La, Ai, it's a little familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere...... Wait, aren't you coming here?! ”

In the end, the sect master read out the four syllables in a strange tone, and then his figure reappeared on the Qinglian Vientiane Chart.

At this time, the old man's face was slightly flushed, showing a high degree of excitement.

"Did you find the expedition?"

Wang Jiu asked rhetorically, "So, do you know what Yimilae is?" ”

"It's the holy name of the 29th Sect Master." The Sect Master said, "When every Holy Sect Sect Sect Master succeeds to the throne, he must lock the Holy Pattern from the Heavenly Scroll as his own Holy Sect Sect Master's name, that is, the Holy Name. However, the holy pattern in the Lost Heaven Scroll was actually lost very early, and we all relied on the Book of Interpretation of the Lost Heaven Scroll to barely imitate the pronunciation, according to the pronunciation of the Book of Solution, the holy name of the 29th Sect Master was exactly ...... Forget it, I'm not a good reader, you know. ”

And after hearing this, Wang Jiu and Zhao Shenlu were already thundering in their hearts.

How can there be such a setting!?

Zhao Shenlu was the first to attack: "What the hell is the holy name, why have I never heard you talk about it?!" ”

The sect master said, "Is it important? For Wanxiangyuan, the holy name is just an inexplicable tradition left over from the early years and I don't know what the ghost is for, and our descendants do it casually according to inertia, but in fact it has no practical impact. Since the 13th generation of sect masters, the secrets of these holy patterns have been completely lost, and future generations can only rely on the book of interpretation to force a far-fetched pronunciation, although everyone will name themselves according to the rules, but this name will never be used, but it is a discarded former name, and occasionally it will be taken out and used. ”

Wang Jiu and Zhao Shenlu glanced at each other, and after a deep sigh, they accepted this explanation together.

Because this is also the only reasonable explanation, the sect master doesn't know anything about the magic script, and even the pronunciation is indicated by the ridiculous phonetic transcription on the book of explanations, so it is no wonder that he has never been able to cause a reaction from the magic sword.

But the problem is the Lost Scroll.

"Lost in the sky? It is not a holy artifact, it is just a written record left by the first generation of sect masters, and it is not a mysterious magic power, since the time when the Lost Heaven Scroll was written, it has always been placed in the column of the door rules, which belongs to a kind of rule that restricts the words and deeds of the people of the Holy Sect. But the Holy Sect has never stubbornly stuck to outdated rules, and even the Holy Sect's general outline has been revised many times over the years, and the importance of the Lost Heaven Scroll is almost the lowest among all the volumes, so I really can't think of any problems here...... That's all I know about the Lost Heaven Scroll, oh, this is my private chapter, according to the phonetic transcription of the Book of Interpretation, my holy name should be Alihong Aranya ....... ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Shenlu couldn't help laughing, and it took a while to calm down, and he opened his mouth to correct: "It's Ali Hong Onaia, which means raw meat, why did you choose such a name?" ”

The sect master's face ached: "How do I know what the holy pattern means?" At that time, the previous sect asked me to choose a name, so I closed my eyes and opened the Mystery Scroll, and randomly selected two holy patterns from it, who knows how could it be interpreted by you like this? What the hell is this holy emblem? Is it a dialect of the Kyushu period? ”

"Tongues...... Haha, it's something similar. Zhao Shenlu's laughter turned cold, "This is the language of the demon race." ”

Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the room, and the Qinglian Wanxiang Diagram rolled up suddenly, and then unfolded again a moment later, but no voice or image of the sect master was transmitted.

Zhao Shenlu waited for a while and said, "What, have you finished digesting it?" If you don't say anything, we'll think you're afraid of crime and abscond. ”

"I'm right here, digest ...... Of course, I can't digest it, what you said is really bizarre, and I can't understand it with my vision and brainpower, so I really have nothing to say. ”

Zhao Shenlu asked, "Don't you doubt it?" ”

"Of course I doubt it, because there are too many places that don't make sense, not to mention that the predecessor of the sword spirit used the Finger Demon Sword in Wanxiangyuan at the beginning, why didn't there be any reaction at that time? Now I said that the records in the Lost Heaven Scroll are all demon characters, and the holy names that our Holy Sect has inherited for two thousand years are all the names of demons, how can I not doubt it? I'd rather doubt the identities of the two of you than shake my faith in the Holy Father's 2,000-year-old lineage. ”

Zhao Shenlu asked again: "Then which side are you going to choose?" ”

The sect master said: "I don't choose either side, now the matter is far from clear, there are so many unsolved mysteries, I can't choose a side at will." You say that the Scroll of the Lost Heaven records a magical script, and there must always be evidence. ”

Zhao Shenlu said with a smile: "The demon race has been extinct for 10,000 years, and now there are only two of us in the world who can interpret the demon text, what evidence do you think you need to prove all this?" ”

"At least give me a logical explanation as to why our founder left the text of the Demon Race and included it in the door rules. Your innocence has been confirmed by you, so why did the white people leave a magic text? ”

Zhao Shenlu couldn't help Wang Jiu answer this question.

And Wang Jiu also had a question that he couldn't understand, so he pondered for a while and said, "Let's go to Wanxiang Garden first, and sort out the relics of the first sect master, I want to collect clues comprehensively." ”
