Chapter One Hundred and Nine. Hidden characters in the jar

This simple look, this simple word, but at that moment, gave me a great strength, so I calmed down, and I didn't even have a trace of worry that I would cut Qin Bukong or Songzi after this knife went down. Without hesitation, I slashed hard.

The blade of this scimitar has blades on both sides, one for slashing and the other for stabbing. The side I cut down is the outer ring for slashing, which means that if the blade deviates, it is very likely that a piece of Songzi's palm or Qin Bukong's knee will be cut off, even if the knife edge is blunt, but with my strength, I am afraid it will not make much difference.

Maybe out of trust, they didn't dodge even when I fell. But there was still fear, because I saw Qin Bukong's round and nervous eyes in the afterglow, and Songzi's escape with his mouth open and his teeth closed.

With a bang, the blade of the knife fell to the burden accurately, I stepped on one of the feet of the burden and I grabbed one of its hands, I felt a significant expansion of heat from the baggage, but after the tension to the extreme, it fell like a deflated ball, in just two or three seconds, my hand through the clothing baggage, directly touched the ground, as if there was nothing in the baggage, the previous bulging ball, seemed to disappear.

Qin Bukong's panting sounded in his ears, presumably my lifeless slash just now, although I had his full trust, I would still be afraid in my heart after all, and I am afraid that it would be abnormal if I was not afraid. Matsuko's reaction was much more exaggerated, though, as he kept screaming, dragging the long, falsetto tail note. After a long time, Songzi also seemed to realize that his hand had not been cut off by me, so he opened his eyes and looked at me and Qin Bukong in panic and stunned.

I was also stunned, I didn't have time to care about the screaming pine nuts, but looked at Qin Bukong and asked him, what is the situation now, have we succeeded or let that guy escape? In fact, I know in my heart that Qin Bukong is not sure, according to our experience in the previous three levels, when we destroy ghosts, there will always be some more violent reactions, so to speak, the things in the cloth in front of me seem to have such a big reaction, could it be because they were suppressed by Qin Bukong's pile of spells? Or is this scimitar in my hand so powerful that it doesn't even have the ability to struggle?

The only answer is that we can only know after we unfold the baggage. Due to the blunt blade, although it was slashed hard, it could not cut through the soft clothes, but it had left a deep rust on it. The wrapping bag of clothes didn't move anymore, so the three of us didn't have to just hold it all the time. So I half-crouched up, but my hands were still holding the hilt of the knife, just in case. Qin Bukong asked Songzi to stand away a little, saving him a little trivial matter later, so that he screamed again and again, so that we were not scared to death by ghosts, but scared to death by others. Qin Bukong carefully and slowly untied the knots on the baggage of his clothes, and finally slowly spread out the entire clothes completely.

The incantations that Qin Bukong had drawn on his clothes with the blood of his middle finger earlier were covered with a layer of black paint, like paint, but when he got closer, it looked more like black grains of sand. However, it is not necessarily true that it is a grain of sand, because the grain of sand is hard, while these powdery things are soft. It's as if someone has crushed honeycomb coal, crushing it again and again, and finally turning it into a pile of fine powder. What surprised me the most was that the black powder, when the clothes were unfolded, turned into the silhouette of a curled up, skinny child, like a dyeing painting, with the black lines radiating outward on the edges of its body, as if the ink was dripping onto the white paper.

Since this powder is very similar to the powder that made me drip on the ground before, I didn't dare to touch it with my hands this time. So I held the scimitar in my hand and touched the black powder with the tip of the knife, but at this touch, the powder was blown away and disappeared as if someone had blown a gust of wind, and the Luohan Hall where we were was was closed on all sides, and there was no wind. So Qin Bukong and I took it as the basis for us to destroy this big ghost guarding the gate, which is actually easy to prove, because as long as the big ghost is still there, the peeling beads in the box will not emit a buzzing cicada song, and if we hit the idea of that box, we will definitely be attacked.

At this moment, in the direction of the base of the bronze statue behind us, there was a buzzing sound, and after passing through the opening of the base, the sound was amplified, so that we could hear it clearly. So the three of us sat down in unison, especially me, after a vicious fight, I realized that I was dragged around by the guy just now, and I really got several bruises and bruises on my body. Now that the sky is falling, I don't care, I'm going to fall asleep like this.

Of course, the sky will not fall, and after a proper rest, I walked towards Qin Bukong and them. They didn't exert as much energy as I did, so they both went to check the stone box while I was resting. Seeing me walking towards them, Qin Bukong beckoned to me, meaning that the problem had been solved, and when he beckoned, I saw that he was holding the waxy ball that was taken out of the box. When I walked up to them, I found that the two of them had reasonably dragged out the stone box, and although the lid had been broken when the bronze statue of Arhat fell just now, the box itself was still intact.

Matsuko pointed to an unfolded red cloth in the stone box and said to me, I don't know why, but when I opened it, it was already broken. I looked down and saw in the middle a piece of pottery broken into many small pieces, which looked like a bottle or a jar, the size of the palm of a hand. Between the pieces, there is a ball about an inch in diameter, but the shape is irregular.

I didn't pick up the ball first, but picked up the porcelain shards, looked at the incision on the fracture surface, and found that although the incision was still relatively sharp, the color was no longer the appearance of a new fracture. So it should have been shattered in a collision in the past thousand years, but because the outside was wrapped in a layer of red tarpaulin, it was not scattered everywhere. I picked up the round thing and looked at it, and it didn't matter if it looked at it, it scared me directly.

Because it is an eyeball, after some special layer treatment, the surface of the eyeball is isolated from the air, so as to achieve the effect that it will not rot inside, but it is obvious that this is not a human eyeball, because most of the eyes are black, but the pupil is a willow leaf-like shape with two pointed ends, very similar to a cat's eyes, but not only cats, even lions and tigers, the size of this eyeball also seems larger. Could it be that thousands of years ago, there were any extinct big cats that were recorded in our existing historical sources?

After thinking about it, it was not impossible to do so, so I handed this eyeball to Qin Bukong. Qin Bukong is an old Jianghu who has seen a lot of things, and after looking at it for a while, he said to us, this is the eye of a crocodile. As for why there is only one, and why it was put here, he doesn't know this, let's find out if there are any other clues. So Matsuko and I began to rummage through the pile, and soon we put all the pieces together into a complete jar, and on the clay embryo on the inside of the jar, there was a very neat and vigorous pen stroke, writing a text, the handwriting was very light, maybe it had been written before firing, you must know that we did have a Jianghu craft in ancient times, which could be written inside the container but not visible on the outside, and it is said that this technique was also used for ventilation and communication among party members at that time.

Songzi and I copied down this text while recognizing it, and it reads:

"Cao Mustard Name, Zhenyuan Yongle County Born, conceited to learn rich five cars, only eight buckets high, the year of the dragon has come to the eyes and never forget, the export can be written, the day to recite ten thousand words, the palace test fame and decades can not reach, suddenly, it is not to enter the eyes of the vulgar people, not Zhu Yi does not nod. Traveled all over the world, made good friends, met ten attempts and followed the teacher, judged an epiphany, and entered the Tao. Everywhere, what is the truth and what is true, respect the vastness of the four elephants, Yang Zhenwu's supernatural powers, know the good appearance of the two mountains, sigh the darkness of the heaven and earth, smell the water chaos here, the dinosaur is the trouble, the scourge of the common people, the rest of the way for the heavens, eliminate the evil that is, do good, know its true yuan is the trouble of the witch, divide the Xuanwu, fight the Qiankun, the obsessive battle Qiqi, capture its essence soul, the magic sword is still not flat for three years, so it is built in the spirit stone, buried in the ground. Liuqimen eight formations guard, a hundred ghosts and seven evil obstacles, both hope that it will open the day, but also hope that it will never have the day, alas, alas, there is a fate to find things here, see the grass mustard of the book, the past Xiao of the changes are endless, the fierceness of the Lu is unparalleled, the height of the kui is unattainable, not far from the gossip five elements, mutual restraint, get its true chapter. ”

This is the end of this paragraph, but there seems to be a Zhuyina inscription at the very end, but it is impossible to see it clearly because of the serious damage.

I thought to myself that I was a person with a deep background in old learning, but after reading this passage, I still had to mentally convert it into vernacular. Not to mention the possibility that all the words at that time were replaced by homophones, and even the pauses in the sentences were added by me and Songzi by feeling.

The meaning of the words is not profound, but the content of this passage seems to mean something else, which makes me realize that there are still many places that we have not figured out until now, and I have to say that there is still a lot of luck in being able to get to this point. In addition to reading the bitter words of this senior, it doesn't seem to have much effect on the later breakthroughs.

When I looked at Matsuko in confusion and was about to ask for help, after all, Matsuko was the most knowledgeable of the three of us, and maybe he had more insights. But I saw him biting his lip, his expression excited and nervous, and his whole body trembling.
