Chapter 818: Xuanshu Astronomy
"Above, it seems that the Xuanshu Iron Coupon is also mentioned!" When Song Siyuan mentioned this, John Hua became nervous and listened more carefully.
She paused, her tone became mysterious, and she continued: "At the beginning, after the Southern Song Dynasty rebels hijacked the ship, when they counted the treasures, they once found a Xuanshu iron coupon, they didn't know what it was used for, but they knew that it recorded the story about the Yin and Yang fish pendant, and they were afraid that this thing was evil, so they used the gossip stove to suppress this thing, and the location of the gossip stove was in the center of the bookshelf. They walked around the corpse and came to the center of the bookshelf phalanx, where the gossip furnace was displayed as the master.
This furnace is about two meters high, it looks like an alchemy furnace, the shape is similar to a round-bellied narrow-mouth cylinder, eight tripod feet are distributed underground, along the position of the tripod foot, there are eight dragon winding tails, fitting the furnace tripod belly, just gather all the heads in the position of the tripod mouth, bite the tripod cover.
On it, it becomes a flagpole that rotates at any time, carved with brass symbols, all hanging on the flagpole, every time it turns, it must be brittle in brass.
Yue Guanchao climbed to the top of the shelf and looked at the furnace, the shape of the gossip stove is very exquisite, since the Xuanshu iron coupon was suppressed by the gossip stove, it is estimated that the thing is in this furnace ding, and then, he pulled one of the stove lid buckles, separating the dragon head from the dragon body, and seeing that they can indeed be opened, then he can rest assured to lift the lid.
In the furnace, a red lacquer box sat quietly in it, and he took it out with a grappling hook, and when it was opened, it was something wrapped in yellow satin.
He handed the thing to Song Siyuan, opened the cascading satin, and what appeared inside was a black iron book, which I thought was the Xuanshu iron coupon that John Hua was looking for.
If you look closely, this Xuanshu iron coupon is only three or five inches long, and it is probably about half a finger longer than the longest middle finger of a person, and the shape is similar to that of copper Jane.
These plates are connected to each other, about seven or eight pieces, from the side, made very light and neat, each plate is about the width of a wrist, the material is similar to dark iron, the surface is frosted with pigment, it does not reflect any metallic light, there is only a few millimeters of space between the plates, all connected by the hinge, and the chain binds the hinge to ensure that it is firm and durable, and does not fall off and break.
She stretched out all the plates, the length of an arm's length, similar to a long fold made of iron, and there was nothing on the back, except for the first seal
The words "Xuanshu Iron Coupon". If you look at it from the front, you can see many of the words recorded in the Xuanshu Iron Coupon!
These characters are not written in ink, and they are not embossed, but they are completely used to make use of the inlay characteristics of metal, but all the words are polished and polished, and a layer of glass is attached to the place after being polished, and the fracture gap formed by the frosted surface forms a variety of words.
Under the light of the flashlight, these words exude a cold metal reflection, and because the glass blooms, the ambilight is very strange, and the silver light depicts the words they don't know at all, as mysterious as a book from heaven.
John Hua was already impatient, took the Xuanshu iron scroll and looked at it carefully, and even greater doubts gradually spread to his brows: "What kind of text is this, how come I have never seen it!" "Not only the old man, but also the people around him have not seen it, these words are not even Chinese, there are partial strokes that do not belong to Chinese at all, all the words are inscrutable, let alone understand what it means.
"What is the origin of this Xuanshu iron coupon? It shouldn't be in Chinese! Yue Guanchao asked, they had only heard John Hua mention the Xuanshu Iron Coupon until now, and as for what the Xuanshu Iron Coupon was, they didn't know anything about it.
John Hua explained: "I only found the "Southern Tour Chronicle" at the beginning, and I knew that there were Xuanshu iron coupons in the Southern Song Dynasty treasure ship, as for why it appeared, I don't know at all, and the book did not mention where the Xuanshu iron coupons came from. Song Siyuan nodded at everyone and explained: "It is also possible that what you said, I think these words are not Chinese, and even the writing materials are completely different from the Han style, and it is possible to say that they are foreign, it is likely that the Jin General himself brought something, or it may be collected in the treasure ship of the Song Dynasty emperor, and it was recorded in the book after being discovered by the Jin General, and it may be the treasure looted along the way, which was obtained by accident." ”
"Right now, now that you've got your hands, you're at least halfway there, and as for how to uncover these mysterious words, then I don't know at all." John Hua listened to Song Siyuan's words, and curiosity flashed in his eyes: "If the Xuanshu Iron Coupon is written by a different race, why is it written in Chinese on the front, could it be that these things are also variants of Chinese, but we don't know?" Song Siyuan nodded: "It is also possible that what you said is that in order to hide some secrets, people in ancient times would indeed change the Chinese script into other characters, as long as they find some kind of law, they can know what these words mean like decoding." ”
"I also happened to have studied cryptography, and I used to decipher ancient texts, if you want, I can help you try to decipher it." John Hua claims to be Hua Wutong, and even the words he doesn't know, others may not be able to understand them, he saw that this woman who stayed abroad had some real skills, and nodded at them: "Okay, then you can try it, it's just that I can't give you the original rune." ”
"It's simple, I'll just take a picture, and you can also use your relationship to see if you can interpret something." When John Hua heard her say this, it didn't seem like he was going to take away the Xuanshu iron coupon, so he was relieved.
"Hua Lao, since the Xuanshu Iron Coupon has been found, are we going to go home?" After Luo Shi Niang finished speaking, John Hua glanced here: "Take these ancient books back, maybe there are clues in them." Then they called the people of the Blue Boat Society, packed up all the ancient books and took them away, and then returned to the surface along the thief hole.
After this busy work, when they stood at the entrance of the cave, it was already early in the morning, the fish belly white appeared in the east, the red sun climbed up to the clouds, and a little bright light appeared.
This time is really dangerous, Yue Guanchao was almost entangled in the water by the ancient clam several times, if it weren't for his fate, he would have been hiding under the water now, of course, compared to John Hua's thoughts, it was nothing, he knew that if it weren't for the fact that the Xuanshu Iron Coupon couldn't be understood, and Song Siyuan was still a little useful, they wouldn't have been able to come up at all.
If you think about it carefully, what Jin Daochang said about turning evil into good fortune is probably referring to the Xuanshu Iron Coupon. Right now, John Hua and the others have collected all the equipment and buried the thief hole, and then they left Yugou Island by boat, and they were also successfully sent to the Qingtong Inn by Luo Shi Niang.
