"No need to worry," Cao Qingxun smiled, "You have already lost this bet."
"What do you mean?" Qin Guizhen frowned.
Cao Qingxun smiled half-heartedly, "Literally. With the merits of my apprentice, the winner of our private bet has been determined. I am waiting for your list to be announced."
"Bullshit! There's no final conclusion until the end." Qin Guizhen shook his head.
Immediately afterwards, he rushed to his apprentice and slapped him twice.
"Pingle, cheer up! No one here cares whether you are a boy or a girl, let alone your cross-dressing fetish."
His cheeks were slightly swollen. Pingle really didn't want to cry, but the lv4 slap on his face was too damn painful. A simple physiological reaction was not based on human will, causing tears to pour out of the corners of his eyes.
Bang bang! There were two big ear scrapers again. Qin Guizhen pointed at the 72 runes floating in the air and shouted: "Go! Analyze the runes. Now is not the time to have distracting thoughts in your mind. Get rid of the unnecessary thoughts in your head.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out an ancient book bound with thread from his arms. The cover of the ancient book was torn and the text was unreadable.
Wow~~~
His fingers ran over the side of the book, and the ink-scented pages turned quickly.
There was a faint voice coming from it, and Wang Jun suddenly seemed to hear the voices of thousands of students reciting classics in unison.
"S-class forbidden object?! You are willing to spend money on it." Cao Qingxun clenched her fists, and a halo like water ripples appeared from the gaps between her fingertips.
"Don't be excited," Qin Guizhen said: "I lent the items to Pingle, and the credit for analyzing the runes will be credited to him. This is very reasonable."
As soon as he finished speaking, the antique old book floated into Pingle's hands.
The panic and confusion on his face were instantly smoothed away, his eyebrows, eye sockets, and lips were flattened, making him more rigid than the poker-faced Ye Zhen.
At this moment, he seemed to be the embodiment of absolute rationality. The mental pressure caused by the exposure of cross-dressing was instantly dissipated, and the redness and swelling on his cheeks miraculously subsided and returned to their original state.
Nodding silently, Pingle seemed to become even more silent than before.
Holding the book in his left hand, he stepped forward and walked to the front of the 72 runes.
At this time, Cao Qingxun reminded:
"Ajun, you have to be careful, this guy is holding taboo item No. S025 - the first volume of the Book of Truth."
"One of the effects allows the holder to remain absolutely calm and have the ability to quickly understand the essence of things."
"I don't know the exact price, but you must hurry up and don't let them succeed."
"Understood." Wang Jun nodded. His position happened to be opposite Pingle. The two of them could see each other's eyes through the 72 slowly rotating runes.
The height difference between the two of them is not too big, Pingle is about three or four centimeters shorter.
As their eyes met, Wang Jun noticed that the scrutiny given by Pingle was as if there was some kind of higher-level existence, scanning with an all-round perspective, and there was no secret inside or outside.
At this moment, the aura chip in Wang Jun's left eye was loaded with energy, and the original Qi seeds in his body were replenished with energy, revealing his ferocious appetite.
S-class taboos are exactly the "nutrition" that the Origin Qi species craves most.
Wang Jun felt some intermittent information in his mind. Through the information, he understood the Taoist Qi species' need for taboo objects.
To put it simply, the original Qi species can continue to evolve, and the life aura it provides at this stage is 5 times.
Although it is very powerful, it is still far from the point where humans can overwhelm all races.
The original energy species swallows forbidden objects, which can bring about an increase in magnification.
Level b, increase the magnification by 0.1.
Level a, increase the multiplier by 0.2.
S level, increase the multiplier by 1.0.
SS level, increased by 2.0.
SSS level, increase the magnification factor by 5.0.
Moreover, the devouring of the original energy species does not destroy the forbidden objects, but only assimilates the forbidden objects with itself. Once the assimilation is completed, it will not only increase the multiplication rate, but also eliminate or weaken the negative costs, and increase or enhance the positive effects.
Not far away, Cao Qingxun and Qin Guizhen's offense and defense changed again.
Qin Guizhen became a blocker, while Cao Qingxun wanted to break through.
The two were in a stalemate and were unwilling to take action next to the reactor, so they could only talk.
"Old Ghost Cao, you can't believe it. I dug in the soil for so many years and found a book of truth."
"The damn Book of Truth, this thing is just the first volume, it's just S-level. If you can collect three volumes and complete the ceremony, and get the real Book of Truth, I will kneel down and sing to you right now."
"Hahaha, there's no need to quibble. Your apprentice's defeat is certain. I'm waiting to see your Mediterranean exposed to the public forever. Hahahaha, don't break your glass heart too early."
"The Book of Truth can analyze everything in the world, but I'm afraid it can't be done in one volume. These 72 runes can directly point to the solar calendar, symbolizing 72 different meanings, which will definitely not be ordinary. If you take it
Writing a book may still be so-so, but now that it's your apprentice in charge, can you analyze 10 pieces?"
"So what if there are 10 of them, that's better than even one that can't be analyzed."
The two of them were noisy and couldn't get along.
On the other hand, at the center of the incident, both Wang Jun and Pingle were silent.
Apart from the first glance at each other, there was no other communication between them.
You do your thing, and I do mine, without interfering with each other.
At this time, Qin Guizhen shouted a reminder: "Ping Le, ignore the 64 runes in the outer circle and analyze the 8 runes in the center circle first. The former obviously evolved from the latter, so the 8 runes in the inner circle
These runes are the core. As long as their analysis is completed, the other 64 runes can be cracked at your fingertips."
Pingle nodded and held up the first volume of the Book of Truth above his head.
"3.1415926..."
His upper and lower lips opened and closed rapidly, and the decimal digits of pi appeared.
As the speed of opening and closing the mouth increases, the sound of turning the pages of books continues to increase in speed.
Immediately afterwards, the pages of the ancient book froze, and the paper material of the pages changed, like a mirror, reflecting the eight runes in the center circle.
The range continues to shrink until there is only one rune left - three horizontal lines from top to bottom, the first horizontal line is connected, the second horizontal line is broken, and the third horizontal line is connected.
At this time, Wang Jun stood on the opposite side, saw it very clearly, and said secretly in his heart: "The first line is connected to form yang, the two lines are separated to form yin, and the top line is connected to form yang. This is the yin in yang, Lihuo hexagram."
As if responding to his voice, the Lihuo runes in the core circle buzzed and vibrated, exuding orange-red sparks.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Amidst the continuous explosions, a smile appeared on Ping Le's face.
"It's done!?" Qin Guizhen slapped his thigh fiercely, "Yes, it is indeed possible. I'm telling you, if it weren't for the other two reactors, the runes inside would have been cracked long ago."
"So you old boy has no confidence at all?" Cao Qingxun raised his eyebrows.
"Nonsense." Qin Guizhen sternly denied it and turned around and shouted: "Pingle, you have to control your time and don't get caught up in it. The side effects of the Book of Truth should not be underestimated."
Pingle did not answer, his eyes glowed like fire, and his whole body exuded an inhuman rational temperament.
The pi in his mouth suddenly stopped, and was replaced by a cadence of ancient Chinese.
After chanting for a full 10 seconds, the book in his hand and the light in his eyes fell silent.
Plop~~~
Pingle threw the book to the ground, and a pupilless eye suddenly opened on the page displayed on the book.
The pupils are cold and emotionless, and the long eyelashes are like tentacles of the abyss, tightly trapping Pingle's limbs.
A clear emotion appeared on Pingle's face. It was the end of fear and even the end of despair.
At this moment, his gaze was firmly absorbed by the pupilless eyes, his body twitched violently, and bright red blood oozed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
"No! This is backlash!!!" Qin Guizhen was shocked, rushed forward and picked up the first volume of the Book of Truth.
Suddenly closing the book, he released the wind power with both palms and recited pi: "3.1415..."
At the same time, a loudspeaker was simulated by the wind next to his head, and his voice came from the loudspeaker: "Old Ghost Cao, don't stand around and watch, please help!"
"At the critical moment, you have to rely on the seniors." Cao Qingxun took advantage verbally, but his movements were not slow at all.
Soon, the two of them worked together to suppress the backlash from the first volume of the Book of Truth.
Wang Jun helped drag Pingle far away and found that there was a new effect in Pingle's state, called: Gaze of Truth.
The gaze of truth brings unimaginable knowledge to those being gazed at, but human body, mind and soul are not strong enough to bear this heavy gift, and backlash is the only outcome.
"How did he get the backlash?" Cao Qingxun frowned.
Qin Guizhen looked at the 72 runes with fear on his face.
"Those things are more exaggerated than imagined. They are completely different from the runes we found in the underground satellite city before. These things are closer to the nature of heaven and earth."
"So, the Book of Truth has attracted things that shouldn't exist."
Cao Qingxun shook his head and pointed at the old books.
"That terrifying aura just now is stronger than Lao Sun, and it is a proper god-level existence, right? How could it be easily sealed by you?"
Qin Guizhen said: "Seal, no, this is a sacrifice."
As he spoke, he lifted up the hair at his temples. Under the touch, the originally shiny gray hair dried up and turned yellow.
At a glance, Wang Jun felt that Qin Guizhen was at least three to five years older.
Opening the old books again, Qin Guizhen looked tired, but his eyes were shining with excitement.
The runes of the Lihuo hexagram appear on the page, and then a paragraph of text is given:
"The first line is connected to form Yang, the two lines are separated to form Yin, and the top line is connected to form Yang. This is the Yin in Yang, the Lihuo hexagram."
He said: "Old Cao, have you seen it?"
"I can see how desperate you are," Cao Qingxun complained: "You have just spent a few years of your life, and you still dare to open it right away. Are you really not afraid of death?"
"You don't understand," Qin Guizhen said with a strange smile on his lips, shaking his head: "I once saw a sentence when I was digging ancient ruins, and I remember it deeply."
After a brief pause, he said in a meaningful tone: "If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening."
Cao Qingxun thought about it quietly for a moment and gave a thumbs up.
Next to him, Wang Jun was inexplicably shocked. He thought of a lot in an instant, but nothing seemed to come to him.
The content presented in the first volume of the Book of Truth is consistent with the Lihuo hexagram in his understanding.
This is a hexagram in the innate eight trigrams. The combination of two and two trigrams can produce sixty-four hexagrams. There is a book in the Chinese classics that is known as the first of the group of classics, and it is the Book of Changes.
Although Wang Jun could not remember many things in his previous life, he knew that there once was a brilliant civilization - Huaxia.
Before becoming a killer, he had another identity - a descendant of Yan and Huang.
Therefore, he systematically studied Chinese martial arts.
Guoshu is a martial art that only kills people but does not perform. It is the ultimate scientific art of killing people.
The theories include Zhouyi, Bagua, Yin and Yang, Five Elements, etc.
Suddenly seeing words he was familiar with imprinted on the Book of Truth, he was just confused.
However, when he heard Qin Guizhen's rather recognizable words "If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening," he had to wonder where the world was.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Wang Jun raised his eyes and looked at the 71 runes that had not yet been analyzed.
Qian Kun Kan Li Zhen Xun Gen Dui...Bagua is the core.
Each of the other 64 hexagrams has six lines. Yao is one of the terms specifically used to explain the hexagrams in the Book of Changes to divide the six development stages of each hexagram.
The Book of Changes covers everything, such as what people often say is the end of peace.
There are two hexagrams here - No hexagram and Tai hexagram.
The memories about skills in Wang Jun's mind are complex but clear, but regarding the Book of Changes, he only roughly remembers the hexagrams corresponding to each hexagram, but does not remember the lines of each line.
Just as he was trying to remember, Qin Guizhen actually copied the first volume of the Book of Truth and tried to decipher the runes again.
Kanshui Gua, Xunfeng Gua, Zhenlei Gua...
After successfully cracking three runes in a row, a strange flush appeared on his face.
"Old Ghost Cao, do you see? I will be able to decipher all the runes right away."
Cao Qingxun did not hold back, and appeared beside Qin Guizhen, pointing at the old books, "Can you suppress it?"
"It's okay," Qin Guizhen turned to another page of the book and said while analyzing the next rune: "Look, that weird eye hasn't appeared yet. I can still analyze many more. I will rest when I reach the limit."
Just take a moment and continue tomorrow."
Hearing the conversation between the two and seeing the pupilless eyes floating above Qin Guizhen's head, Wang Jun felt chills running down his spine.
That terrifying eye stared at Qin Guizhen for an instant. Qin Guizhen looked normal, but in fact he was under control.
The emotions he showed may just be truth's simulation of emotions.
Cao Qingxun quietly gave Wang Jun a look.
Wang Jun nodded to express his understanding.
The two were about to take action when suddenly the pupilless eyes expanded several times.
The huge eyes are no longer just symbols, they have become flesh and blood, with entities, and two blood vessels are connected to the back of Qin Guizhen's head.
The whites of Qin Guizhen's eyes rolled up, and the blush on his face became brighter and brighter. The skin on his cheeks was like hot bubbles, slightly swollen. He obviously didn't open his mouth, but an indifferent voice came from his abdomen:
"What do you want to do?"
The huge eyeball stared at Cao Qingxun's right hand.
At this moment, the distance between the palm of the hand and the back of the neck is only half an inch.
Wang Jun exerted force with both feet, leaning forward to charge, but space and time seemed to be frozen on the spot.
He couldn't move, Cao Qingxun couldn't move, Qin Guizhen couldn't move, and the runes not far away couldn't move either.
Wang Jun and Cao Qingxun's hearts were beating wildly uncontrollably, and the instinct in their hearts warned them: they should not look directly at the existence in front of them, they should prostrate themselves in worship.
