Xu Zhiqiong entered the small dark room with an ink block, an inkstone and a stack of paper.
Not long after, he jumped back from the dark room to the private room and placed a piece of paper by the window.
Black background with white characters, a complete rubbing of "The Record of Nuzu".
"The Records of Nuzu" is a bamboo book, and the characters on the bamboo book are engraved on the bamboo slips one by one.
There was no light in the small dark room, so I couldn't see or copy it down.
But the words engraved on the bamboo slips can be printed.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the original text and deciphered it word for word according to the algorithm he summarized.
The algorithm was very complex, and the progress of deciphering it was very slow at first. From early morning to noon, Xu Zhiqiong could only decipher one sentence.
"The emperor prays to the blue dragon and fights with you in the wild. You will be invincible in three battles."
The writing style of the bamboo slips is very simple, but it is too simple. This sentence is neither good nor bad. Xu Zhiqiong can only infer the meaning of the text through brainstorming.
It mentions "Emperor" and "Qianjun". The name of the previous dynasty was Daqian. This should be about the war between the founding emperor of Daxuan and the last emperor of Daqian.
Emperor Taizu, the founder of Daxuan, prayed to the Canglong God for help and fought decisively with Emperor Daqian in the wilderness, losing three consecutive battles.
In the ancient saying, three is not a real number, it may be a false reference. Anyway, Emperor Taizu fought many defeats.
This is different from official historical records. According to official historical records, Emperor Taizu was born as a commoner. He was summoned by the True God Canglong and raised righteous soldiers to destroy the Daqian Dynasty. He went through more than a hundred battles without any defeat.
It is normal for the descriptions to differ.
If it were the same as the description in the official history, there would be no need for the existence of this "Record of the Wrathful Ancestors".
After deducing the meaning of the first sentence, Xu Zhiqiong continued to decipher the second sentence. He had been fighting for days before, and now he was overusing his brain. Xu Zhiqiong's eyebrows throbbed.
Fortunately, with the experience of the previous sentence, the deciphering speed was much faster. In less than half an hour, the second sentence was deciphered.
"The ancestor prayed to the four saints to fight Qianjun in the wild, win a great victory, drive him away, and kill Qianjun in the capital."
Ancestor should refer to Nuzu.
According to common sense, the Four Saints should be the four true gods: Canglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu.
Nuzu prayed to the Four Saints for help, then fought with Emperor Daqian in the wilderness, and won a great victory. He chased the remnants of Daqian's army all the way to the capital, and killed Emperor Daqian.
Nu Zu's appearance was very strong. He gathered the power of the Four Saints and defeated Da Qian's army. In this way, Da Xuan was defeated by Nu Zu.
But why did the Liang family become the emperor?
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his eyes and continued to decipher.
"The emperor wanted to share the country with his ancestors, but his ancestors refused and hid in the wilderness."
This sentence is easy to understand. The emperor wanted to share the country and the land with Nuzu, but Nuzu refused and chose to live in seclusion in the mountains.
The emperor said that he wanted to share the country with others, which is all nonsense. Don't believe it. If the overall strength of Nuzu is not as good as that of the emperor, it would be a wise choice to go into seclusion.
"The ancestors built the temple of the Four Saints in the wilderness, but the black dragon cannot tolerate the Four Saints."
Ancestor Nu built a temple for the Four Saints in the wilderness, but True God Canglong refused to accept the Four Saints.
Refuse to accept the Four Saints?
Isn't Canglong one of the Four Saints?
Xu Zhiqiong could only make assumptions about this. Canglong didn't want the four saints to become the gods of Daxuan at the same time. He wanted to be the sole leader of one family.
But can he fight against the other three?
Once the white tiger is angry, it will be difficult for Canglong to resist, let alone Suzaku and Xuanwu.
This doesn't seem to make sense logically.
While I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of water outside the window, and an envoy in Tsing Yi came back.
Jiang Feili assigned them a task according to the list. After completing the task, they could come back to deliver the work. After working hard for a day and a night, the first thing the Qingyi people did was naturally choose to take a bath in the spring. Xu Zhiqiong ignored it and continued to decipher the cipher text.
"The emperor summoned the ancestors, but they disappeared."
The emperor summoned Nuzu, presumably to ask him to destroy the temple of the Four Saints and worship Canglong alone. Nuzu disagreed and did not come to see the emperor.
"Sister, what's wrong with your peach? Why is it redder than a monkey?"
"You were kicked by an immoral person. Such a bastard is so cruel."
Xu Zhiqiong deciphered another sentence: "The emperor raised his troops, attacked his ancestors, and fought in the wild. The emperor was defeated in three battles."
A fight broke out, and the emperor and the angry ancestors fought again in the wilderness, and the emperor suffered many defeats.
Say they always fight in the wilderness?
Does wild refer to wilderness in general, or does it refer to a specific place specifically?
"Sister, today it is red, tomorrow it will be swollen. When it becomes swollen, this peach is actually a lot bigger."
"Young lady, that's nonsense. Even if I'm not swollen, I can still give birth better than you!"
Xu Zhiqiong continued to decipher it, but the next sentence was not easy to translate. It seemed that the algorithm had changed.
"What's the point of comparing your ability to me? If you have the ability, ask Da Lan to compare!"
"Who can compare with Da Lan? I wouldn't be afraid if you compete with Jiang Shaoshi!"
Now that it has been translated, the translation has changed a bit, but not much.
"The Emperor prays to Canglong, Canglong invites White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu to defeat the four saints."
Wait, this is beyond comprehension!
Canglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu joined forces to defeat the Four Saints?
Aren't they the Four Saints? What exactly is this...
"Yuxia, you're back, come and compete!"
"Why, did you eat something good and gain weight again?"
"I ate something and got kicked by someone, and it swelled up!"
Xu Zhiqiong opened the window and shouted loudly: "Everyone will be whipped twenty times in a while, and they will all swell up. Let's compete!"
A bunch of shapeless people.
They weren't like this before!
After the war is over, if everything turns out like this, and rumors spread, it will be said that I led them into trouble, and my reputation will be ruined!
It was quiet outside the window, and Xu Zhiqiong continued to think.
The decisive battle between Canglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu and the Four Saints seems unreasonable, but as long as you calm down and consider the various actions of the Nufu Sect at present, you will know the reason.
"Lu of Nu Zu" was written by Nu Zu's disciples to record his words and deeds. Naturally, it was written from the perspective of Nu Zu's disciples.
The Nuzu disciples are the earliest members of the Nufu Sect. In the eyes of the Nufu Sect, there is a clear difference between the concept of the Four Sages and Xu Zhiqiong's understanding of the Four Sages.
The four saints of Nufu Sect should be Qiongqi, Taotie, Chaos, which are the four evils. If explained in this way, the context will be smooth.
The emperor began to borrow the power of Canglong to resist the Daqian Dynasty, but failed.
Nu Zu relied on the power of the Four Evils to overthrow the Daqian Dynasty, established Daxuan, and left the country to the emperor, but he requested that Daxuan retain his belief in the Four Evils.
Cang Long could not tolerate the Four Evils and ordered the emperor to go and attack the angry ancestors who believed in the Four Evils.
The emperor could not defeat Nu Zu, so Cang Long called the Four Saints and defeated Nu Zu and the four villains behind Nu Zu.
Although the content of this paragraph is very different from the official history, Xu Zhiqiong feels that the description in "The Record of Nuzu" is closer to the historical facts than the official history.
There must be a reason why the Nufu Sect is so prosperous in Daxuan, and Emperor Taizu once swore an oath. Daxuan State Zuo is still there, and the incense of Nufu continues. This shows Taizu's tolerance and recognition of the Nufu Sect, and it is also confirmed from the side.
The contribution of Nufu Sect in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China.
But the result of the battle between the emperor and the angry ancestors?
After the emperor defeated Nuzu, how did he deal with Nuzu?
There were major changes in the subsequent deciphering methods. Xu Zhiqiong's brain and body were severely overloaded, and the deciphering efficiency became extremely low.
At dinner, Qiao Hongliu, the Qingyi envoy, brought dinner.
This woman is the only Confucian cultivator in Qingyi Pavilion. Different from the vulgar killing method, Qiao Hongliu usually has a refined and gentle temperament, but when she jumped into the hot spring, she looked like a different person. It was she who was the one who caused the harm by shouting about being better than Taozi.
Xu Zhiqiong was distracted.
After taking a few hasty bites, Xu Zhiqiong continued to decipher the cipher text. At the end of the day, he reluctantly calculated, and after a lot of effort, he finally found the translation.
Just after deciphering two words, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly felt a throbbing in his chest.
A pair of eyes, a pair of huge eyes opened.
Whose eyes are open?
Why does this feel so clear?
Xu Zhiqiong can even feel the friction between his eyelids and eyeballs.
Could it be the monster parasitic on his body?
After Xu Zhiqiong reached the sixth level, his perception continued to improve. When he just escaped from Taotie's belly, the monster said that he was going to sleep. From then on, Xu Zhiqiong could not sense his existence at all.
But now Xu Zhiqiong felt something and opened his eyes. Could it be that the monster woke up?
Xu Zhiqiong remained calm, put away the rubbings and translations for the time being, jumped out of the window, squatted on the rockery, took a few breaths of the night breeze, and looked down at the hot spring below.
There were many green-dressed envoys who had returned late and were still playing in the water. They were very white and round. Xu Zhiqiong looked at them carefully for a long time, and then heard the voice of an old man in his ears: "Thief Pi, you are young,
But you don’t know how to make progress, I have only been away for a few days, but you have learned this dirty behavior!"
Master's voice!
How can this be!
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and responded: "Master, is it really you?"
"If it's not me, who else could it be? What are you doing here? How come you haven't seen a woman before? The Taoist sect has lost all its face!"
The tone and voice are exactly the same!
Is this really Master?
Is he awake?
Why can I feel that Master is awake?
"Master, when did you wake up?"
"It's not your turn to ask me!" The master was a little annoyed, "I asked you what you are doing here?"
"I'm tired, I just came out to get some air."
"What did you do? Why do you say you are tired?"
"This disciple has been studying the art of yin and yang all day long. I think he has exhausted his mind too much."
"Onmyoji?" The other party sneered, "Thief Pi, you want to deceive me, but you are a few years too early. I ask you why you came to Huazhou?"
Xu Zhiqiong rolled his eyes and replied: "Disciple came to Huazhou to eradicate the blood evil evil way!"
"Before I left, I told you not to leave the capital easily and never go south. Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
This is indeed what Master said before he left.
Xu Zhiqiong said in an aggrieved tone: "Master gave me the Mandarin Duck Blade and asked me to do my best to eliminate evil. What the Blood Evil Sect did was an act that was harmful to nature. Did the disciples just watch and ignore it?"
"My master gave you the Yuanyang Blade so that you could rely on you to live and work. With your little cultivation, do you dare to fight against the evil star? It was a waste of all my hard work to teach you such a reckless scoundrel!"
"Hehehehe!" Xu Zhiqiong laughed.
"How presumptuous! Why are you laughing?" The master was very angry.
Xu Zhiqiong remained silent, concentrated his thoughts in his heart, and used the sixth-level skills to sneak into the depths of his mind.
"Tell me something, Master, why are you laughing?" The Master became even more angry.
You don't know where I went?
It seems that in some places, you can't see me, otherwise you would have swallowed me up! It's a good time to deal with the evil star's clone.
Xu Zhiqiong came to the wasteland deep in his heart and ran all the way, passing by melon fields, reaching the edge of the cliff and jumping off.
After falling to the bottom of the abyss and walking deep into the mist, Xu Zhiqiong saw the figure of the giant beast.
The figure was still blurry, and the torso and limbs could barely be distinguished.
He didn't respond at all, he really couldn't see me!
Xu Zhiqiong stretched out his right hand and groped the figure.
Qi flowed into the Ren channel, which instantly expanded and seemed about to burst.
Xu Zhiqiong took a deep breath, stabilized the Qi in the Ren channel, squeezed it into shape, and then completely came out of the Ren channel like jelly and sent it into the Du channel and the Yangwei channel.
The giant beast roared, and Xu Zhiqiong ran away, climbing crazily along the cliff, leaving the depths of his mind in an instant.
"Xu Zhiqiong!" The tone of the voice in my ear changed, and it was still the tone of that monster, "I only have this little residual soul left, and you come and suck it, you are really nothing!"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "You didn't teach me this. Just take a small sip and wet the tip of your tongue."
"Xu Zhiqiong, Xu, Xu..." The monster's voice became weaker and weaker, and the eyes that had just been opened were closed again.
He is very weak.
Having lost this little energy, he was forced to sleep again.
Because he was asleep most of the time, there were some things he didn't know.
Master?
What Master gave me was a fire stick, not a mandarin duck blade.
After taking enough breath, Xu Zhiqiong felt refreshed and went back to continue deciphering the cipher text.
