Chapter 65: The Runes of the Ancient Shaman
Among the secrets that Nie Lin left behind in Wangqiu's secret room, he read many things that he had never come into contact with now, or in his previous life.
Especially the content of the analysis of the current situation left by Wangqiu, he spent two days to carefully understand the content of that part, combined with the various experiences and stories of the master in the previous life, after some thinking, he finally understood his previous life, where was wrong, where was the master's mistake.
Ji Wudao's regret when he was dying was not that he did not fulfill his lifelong wish, but that he insisted on going his own way, which led to many things that should not have happened in advance.
Then Nie Lin recalled that Wangqiu had mentioned in the secret message a secret organization that belonged to the Sword Pavilion, but was not under the control of the Sword Pavilion.
Combined with the last words that Wangqiu said to him when he was dying, telling him that Jian Weng and Zhao Nan could be trusted, Nie Lin already knew in his heart that these two people must have a great relationship with that secret organization.
Perhaps they are the descendants of the members of the Cain organization, and Ji Wudao is also an important part of this organization, Jian Weng and Lu Zhaonan always look at themselves differently, and when Tu Lao frankly told him that they were unanimously optimistic about him, Nie Lin knew that these old guys who had suffered from accidents, although they couldn't guess his rebirth, had already closely linked him with Ji Wudao.
Therefore, after he returned from the Sword Beast Forest this time, after Lu Zhaonan mentioned to him the restructuring of the Sword Academy, as well as some preliminary plans, Nie Lin knew that this secret organization was about to surface. The tip of his iceberg will start with the Heavenly Road Sword Academy.
Nie Lin wants to help his master fulfill his last wish, so naturally he will not repeat the old path of his previous life, and if he insists on going his own way, it will only be the same ending, he plans to use this secret organization to complete, first recapture the Qingcang Dragon Seal, and then go to the Sword Evidence Heavenly Monument.
Therefore, Nie Lin naturally had to take Tianlu Academy's competition seriously, he had already regarded himself as a member of this secret organization.
On the way, Yang Yuxiao saw that although Nie Lin's eyes were staring at the book, his mind was not on the book, nor did he disturb it.
After waiting for a while, he saw that Nie Lin suddenly had a certain look in his eyes, and then said, "Brother Nie, what are you thinking?"
After Nie Lin came back to his senses, he said: "Oh, when I was reading this "History of the Hundred Clans of the Eastern Continent", I thought of something, the power organizations of the Eastern Continent introduced in this book, I always feel that it is a bit exaggerated, just like the existence of the thousand-year-old clan family, there is no mention in these books, which makes people feel that the motives of the author of this book!"
Hearing this, Yang Yuxiao sighed: " In fact, Brother Nie, you don't know, like the turmoil period in the Eastern Continent five hundred years ago, in order to survive, few people will have the heart to read and learn words, compose historical inheritance, coupled with the influence of historical factors during that period, many valuable ancient books and rare books were burned, and those who fell into the world are very few, even if they were inherited from that period, most of them were adjusted to zero, and even fewer remained, even if many families have been inherited for hundreds of years now, but in that period, they were only the grassroots class, and if you want to say that the real aristocratic family, there are only the four thousand-year-old families!”
Speaking of these, Nie Lin suddenly had a strange thought in his heart, and said: "Brother Yang, if history is regressing, then the words we are familiar with now should be more advanced and more vivid than the words of that period, right?"
"It seems to make some sense!" Yang Yuxiao pondered.
Nie Lin took out a piece of Jinpa from his pocket, put it on the table, and said: "This Jinpa was found by me at the end of the passage of the thousand-year-old mineral vein, it should be something from the royal family, the words on it, no matter how I put it together, but after it is translated, I don't feel it makes sense, can you take a look?"
Yang Yuxiao was very curious, and carefully picked up the brocade hand, and suddenly felt a wonderful energy surging, because of the influence of Nie Lin's Absolute Dust Sword before, he almost threw this brocade pa on the table again.
However, I felt that the energy on this brocade was very gentle, so I settled down, and after studying it carefully, he knew a little more ancient characters than Nie Lin, and after studying for a while, Yang Yuxiao frowned, and said: "It's really weird, no matter how the words on this are combined, judging by the current logic, they really don't make sense, they don't form sentences, or let's copy these words down a paragraph and find a teacher to study them together?"
Nie Lin thought about it, and felt that the road was boring, except for gathering qi to cultivate, there was nothing else to do, and because of the matter of the scroll, he was very eager to learn and study the words of the Weiyang Empire, so he nodded and said: "That's okay, Mr. Lu's knowledge is profound, and his insights should be more profound than you and mine, so just copy it down!"
So, Yang Yuxiao took a pen and paper, and after copying the words on the brocade very seriously, he asked Nie Lin to put the brocade away, and then said to the coachman outside: "Uncle Lu, can you let someone notify the carriage in front and tell the teacher that the student has a problem with Nie Lin and wants to ask the teacher?"
That Uncle Lu responded with a smile: "It's been a day's journey, there is a village in front, and we are also planning to spend the night here halfway to rest for a night, you can go directly to Mr. in a while!"
Nie Lin lifted the window to look outside, and found that the sky was gloomy, and he unknowingly rushed for a day, and after putting down the curtain, he continued to study those words with Yang Yuxiao.
After about half an hour or so, the carriage stopped, and it was slightly noisy outside, and after Uncle Lu outside reminded them, Nie Lin picked up his sword and got out of the carriage with Yang Xiaoyu.
The procession stopped at the center of the village, and someone should have contacted them in advance, so after everyone got off the bus, an elderly man from the village received them, and arranged a suitable food and lodging for them in an orderly manner, which was very thoughtful.
This village is located in the plain area, relatively large, mainly farming, and quite wealthy, Nie Lin still shared a room with Yang Yuxiao, and after they settled down in the house briefly, they went to Lu Zhaonan's room.
Lu Zhaonan was talking to the old village chief in the house, and when he saw Nie Lin and Yang Yuxiao knocking on the door and entering the house, the old village chief smiled and nodded, and left.
After Yang Yuxiao and Nie Lin raised their fists and sat down, Yang Yuxiao handed the transcribed content to the table and said, "Teacher, you have studied ancient characters, can you understand these contents, the students and Brother Nie have studied for a long time, but they can't understand the essentials, so I want to ask the teacher?"
Lu Zhaonan was about to ask them what they meant, but when he heard Yang Yuxiao talk about it, he was also curious, so he picked up the piece of paper and looked at the text content.
Just looked at it and pondered for a while, Lu Zhaonan seemed to have fallen into some kind of thought for a long time, and finally, he suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but change his face, and said, "This turned out to be a rune!"
Nie Lin was curious and asked, "Sir, what is a rune?"
Lu Zhaonan's expression was a little uncertain at this time, and he said: "Rune is a special rule symbol constructed by the ancient shaman through a kind of energy rule condensation, this kind of rule symbol is mixed between words, which can play an incredible magical effect, this text you copied does not seem to make sense, but in fact, he is a kind of expression of energy gathered by the shaman, which is very mysterious!"
"Then what is a shaman, can the teacher understand the function of these runes?" Yang Yuxiao was also very curious about this unknown novelty.
Hearing this, Lu Zhaonan shook his head and said, "I only saw this annotation on half of the ancient book fragments, which mentioned the shaman, and the runes used by the shaman, as for what the shaman is and what these runes are used for, the old man doesn't know anything!"
After that, Lu Zhaonan turned his gaze to Nie Lin and said, "Where did you get this rune?"
Nie Lin took out the brocade and presented it to Lu Zhaonan: "It was copied from this brocade, and this brocade was picked up by me from a pile of bones in an abandoned ore vein!"
Lu Zhaonan took the brocade pa, and did not look at the words on the brocade papa, but kept looking at the texture of the brocade papa, the more he looked at the face, the more solemn his face became, and finally he got up and closed the door, and then said in a deep voice: "This brocade pa does not talk about his function and the runes on it, but from the shape of this brocade pa, as well as the texture of the workmanship, as well as the patterns on it, this kind of thing, only people with royal status are qualified to wear and use, and it is a rare item that belongs to the healing class made by the shaman!"
Then, he looked at Nie Lin again and said, "When you picked up this thing, what was the surrounding environment?"
Nie Lin said: "This thing is in the pile of bones at the end of the mine passage, but the pile of bones are all wearing silver silk soft armor, and their swords are also of superior quality, and they are all exclusive, according to tradition, only the royal guards are eligible!"
"You're right, if there are royal guards, then among the pile of bones, there must be a person with the identity of a prince, but why they were blocked in the vein passage, what happened there, this is a puzzling question!" Lu Zhaonan fell into deep thought, and kept muttering.
After Nie Lin took the Jinpa back into his pocket, he just said, "If you have the opportunity in the future, Sir can go there for a field investigation in person, but if this is a rune, wouldn't it be that this kind of script was used during the Weiyang Empire?"
After Lu Zhaonan came back to his senses, he listened to Nie Lin's words, shook his head and said: "Otherwise, this kind of rune should only be used by that shaman, he is just mixed in the words, if the rune is excluded, just talking about these words, the old man has studied it and understands a little!"
Hearing this, Nie Lin was a little excited, and said, "Can that gentleman teach me to learn these words?"
Lu Zhaonan smiled faintly, nodded and said, "Then you come and sit in my car, it just so happens that we have some words and want to talk to you!"
