Chapter 8: Runes

The room was sunny and richly furnished, with carved diamond-encrusted balustrades on the windows. A set of coffee tables made of red wood is worth a lot of money at first glance. There were also a few large boxes in the corner of the wall, and I don't know what they contained.

There is also a gorgeous bed, the bedding on the bed is neatly folded, and the plain gauze curtain makes it look fresh and unconventional.

He hid his backpack, and Zheng Yu lay down on the bed comfortably, with the ceramic doll pillow under his head, which felt great.

"Hey~~Comfortable~~ I think this ancient emperor is nothing more than that, right?" Zheng Yu lay on the bed, his body made a "big" shape.

Zheng Yu reluctantly left the big bed and got up to look for something, because he was new to the city and didn't know everything very well here, and he needed some books to popularize knowledge so that he could understand the world better.

He looked around the house, but he didn't find where the bookshelves were, and there was not even a trace of a book in the whole room, Zheng Yu guessed that the original owner of the house should not like to read.

After Zheng Yu searched all corners of the house, only the big boxes in the corners of the wall were left untouched, in fact, Zheng Yu didn't have much hope for those boxes, after all, the whole house had been searched. The big box is not filled with clothes, it should be treasure, right?

The box was not locked, Zheng Yu easily opened the box, and what greeted him was a bunch of strange things, such as a meter-long large smoke pipe, an air-dried snake tail, and the most strange thing was that there was a specimen of.

If you look closer, there is still a label attached to it - dragon dung.

The expressions on Zheng Yu's face were all squeezed together: "What is this? Why is there everything I haven't seen?"

Zheng Yu was completely impressed by the original owner's collecting habits.

"There's another box, I don't know what's strange?" Zheng Yu reluctantly opened another box.

A burst of intense golden light flashed, and what appeared in front of Zheng Yu was a pile of books.

When he finally saw the book, Zheng Yu was pleasantly surprised.

This is a large box of books, at least there are hundreds, and each one has traces of being flipped. It seems that Zheng Yu misunderstood the owner of this room before.

Zheng Yu picked up a book casually.

"The General History of Yangdao? This is a general history, it should be about history, right?" Zheng Yu thought, and flipped through the book.

The light of the jade pendant before made Zheng Yu understand the language here, and now it is effortless to read the article. Every word will have a corresponding meaning in Zheng Yu's mind, and Zheng Yu is also very surprised.

"The earth, **, shine on the sun and the moon, through the stars, the four hours, to the ether year......" Zheng Yu grabbed his head with his hands, struggling to understand the meaning recorded in the book.

Even if you understand the language here, it is still very difficult to understand the meaning.

The sun was shining, two hours passed, and the more Zheng Yu looked, the more interested he became.

He has a basic understanding, this "General History of Yang Island" introduces history, which says that this is an ancient fairy island, called Yin and Yang Island, an island is divided into two parts, one part is Yin Island, one part is Yang Island, and the place where he is now is called Yang Island. There are not many records of Yin Island in the book, only a few words about it.

In fact, Yin Yang Island is a whole island, Yin Island and Yang Island are just separated by a mountain range, the mountain range is towering, and meandering, outrageously long, like a big knife, ruthlessly cutting off Yin Yang Island.

There is no way for anyone to go from Yin Island to Yang Island, or vice versa from Yang Island to Yin Island. This mountain range is a natural barrier, eight hundred years ago, there was an emperor of Yangdao, tried his best to dig a tunnel in the middle of the mountain range, but then, for his ambitions, he launched endless killing, and Yin Island launched a ten-year-long war, but when the war was about to be won, that is, when the emperor of Yangdao unified the whole island, a flash flood hit, and buried the tunnel, I heard that the emperor of Yangdao was also buried in the torrent.

No one dares to invade that mountain range, and people worship this mountain as a god, and people call this mountain a sacred mountain, and legend has it that the people living on the top of the mountain are all gods.

Then the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and there was no idea of opening the tunnel again, and for eight hundred years, until now, no one has been to Yin Island.

Eight hundred years later, there are also people who want to transition to the ship. One year, Yangdao organized dozens of warships, each of which had hundreds of tons and could carry nearly a thousand people, but after the ship sailed out, it lost its news, and in the vast sea, not even a single plank could be seen.

A year after the ship disappeared, a survivor came to the island, he told the people that there was a giant monster in the sea, swallowed the ship, and told the people not to go to the open sea. Based on the intelligence of its predecessors, the Yamen also planned the sea area and set aside a safe area for people to fish and make a living.

This is an island that can't be left or entered, and Zheng Yu is the first person to enter the island in the history of Yin Yang Island.

Yinyang Island is called an island, in fact, its size can be compared to Inner Mongolia in China, Yangdao alone, there are more than 500 towns and thousands of villages on the island.

Over the past thousands of years, dozens of dynasties have also changed, and now this dynasty can be said to be the one that has ruled Yangdao for the longest time, as long as 900 years. In the history of nearly 1,000 years, this dynasty is still standing, and you can imagine how strong it must be.

Zheng Yu looked at this book and suddenly felt how small he was, and the things recorded in the book were only the tip of the iceberg of this island.

Zheng Yu didn't know until today what the ocean of books mentioned by the elementary school teacher was, and he now feels as if he is really immersed, swimming in the ocean of books.

"Young master, it's time for you to have lunch~~~" After a knock on the door, the voice of the old servant Steward Liu came.

Zheng Yu immediately jumped out of the stack of books, quickly walked to the door, and opened the lock. Steward Liu was standing in front of his house.

Seeing the young master open the door, Steward Liu looked like a sharp-beaked monkey cheek again: "Young master, why didn't you take the medicine and snacks I brought you?"

Zheng Yu saw the bamboo basket at his feet, patted his head like a big realization, and said to the housekeeper: "I was so tired just now, I fell asleep, until now, if it wasn't for Steward Liu calling me, I might have to sleep until tomorrow morning." ”

"Young master, are you okay?, do you want me to ask a Lang Zhong to come over and check your pulse?" Steward Liu said with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, you look at me, I slept a lot, my throat doesn't hurt anymore, and I'm more energetic. As he spoke, Zheng Yu jumped on the ground twice, indicating that he was fine.

"It's best if the young master is fine, but don't hide it, it'll be troublesome if you get sick. The lord and the lady, as well as the eldest young master, are all waiting in the hall, don't let them wait too long. Steward Liu suddenly thought of something important, and pulled Zheng Yu away.

Zheng Yu just followed him like this, and he didn't look like a young master at all.

When he arrived in the hall, Zheng Yu tidied up his clothes, and in the room before, Zheng Yu had already changed his clothes, and he found a suitable one in the wardrobe and put it on.

The problem of too short hair was solved by wearing a hat, and now it looks like a whole handsome boy, and the gods have descended to earth.

"Greetings to my father. Zheng Yu learned the lesson of the morning and bowed as soon as he entered the door.

"Well, okay, come and sit down. "Master Mufu is not exposed, and his face is serious.

Zheng Yu walked straight to the so-called brother and sat down.

The so-called elder brother didn't even look at him, and ate his own Chinese food, treating Zheng Yu as air. Only his mother still gave Zheng Yu a few chopsticks and dishes.

The mother asked Nuan and Liang, and Zheng Yu also responded carefully, without revealing any flaws.

He didn't care about his brother's coldness either.

"How is your throat, have you taken medicine, are you better?" When Zheng Yu was picking up vegetables, his father suddenly said with concern.

Zheng Yu's heart suddenly warmed, his father's stern appearance was actually just a layer of window paper that could be pierced casually.

He looked at Steward Liu, then at his father, and replied, "Much better, thank you for your concern." ”

"That's good, have you understood runes well these days? Runes are a very profound science, and if you can understand them, it will bring you a lot of benefits. Suddenly, my father said coldly.

Zheng Yu was at a loss, and didn't know what to say, "Rune? What is this, I did see it when I was reading the book just now, but I didn't care." Zheng Yu thought to himself.

While Zheng Yu was thinking, he suddenly found that his brother's body trembling next to him, in Zheng Yu's opinion, this was an emotional fluctuation.

When he heard the word rune, Zheng Yu actually saw that his brother's mood fluctuated, and this was the first time he saw his brother so uncalm.

"Father, mother. I'm done eating, you eat slowly. The so-called elder brother quickly finished eating the rice in the bowl, put down the chopsticks, dropped a word, and walked away.

"It seems that runes are really not simple things, and they can give him such a big shock. Zheng Yu looked at the place where his brother left and thought to himself.

"Qianyuan, what did you say about this during the meal? Let Yi'er run away!!" I saw my mother look unhappy at my father.

"Mu Yi, don't you know the personality of this child?Arrogant, arrogant and ignorant, I passed the rune to Qian'er, it didn't mean anything, I just wanted to rub Yi'er's sharpness, and when he knew the mistake, I would pass the rune to him as well." "When my father blew his beard, his face was unhappy.

From the conversation between his father and mother, Zheng Yu finally learned his father's name and the name of that brother, Mu Qianyuan and Mu Yi. This is actually a kind of guarantee.

"Mu Qian, how is your rune, have you understood a rune? As long as you understand a rune, it can be regarded as a genius. Back then, it took me a year of hard work to understand a rune, which was a sensation in the family at the time. When my father talked about the deeds of the year, he didn't care about his image for a while, and smiled.

Zheng Yu looked at his father's smile and replied with a smile: "Father, I will do my best." I'm done eating, so I'll go back to my room and understand the runes. ”

Zheng Yu bowed to his parents and went back to his room, he couldn't wait to know what the runes were, and why did Mu Yi care so much about them?

This time, Zheng Yu returned to the room, even if he didn't need to be accompanied by Steward Liu, he could go back smoothly. He hopped back into the room and locked the door again.

After digging into the pile of books with his hands and searching for them, he saw a book about runes - "Ancient Rune Collection".

"It seems that runes have a long history, so they must be quite esoteric. After Zheng Yu saw the rune collection, he paced to the desk and sat down, intending to study it carefully.

The four big characters of "Ancient Rune Collection" use the common text on Yin Yang Island, and you can write a word with one stroke, it looks as if you have learned English before, crooked, but it reveals a strong meaning, and the pen is like a dragon and a snake, which is shocking.

Zheng Yu took a deep breath and opened the book after admiring the shell cover of the rune collection.

"The following is the basic rune, a total of ten ......," Zheng Yu carefully read each word.

Before he finished reading a word, he would repeat it silently in his mind.

But when Zheng Yu really saw the runes, he didn't make any movements, he just stared at the runes on the book, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and even the wolf pen slipped from his trembling hands to the ground.
