Chapter 216 The Sting of the Dragon and Snake is heavily encrypted
Outside Wuku Temple.
Countless green bamboos stretch for kilometers.
The locals call it Laoling Bamboo Sea.
The mountain breeze blows, and the sound of bamboo leaves is like turning the pages of a book. There are mountain springs, streams, ancient pavilions, and chess tables in the forest. Occasionally, you can also see stone tablets, all left by ancient hermits.
Liao Chen led a group of people.
Wander through the sea of bamboo.
We didn’t stop until we reached the ancient pavilion.
It can be seen that the bamboo pavilion is quite old, and the thatch covering the top has been soaked and rotted by the rain.
There is only a stone table and a few stone benches in the pavilion.
When you sit down, you can overlook the bamboo sea and listen to the gurgling stream.
In the past few years, when the mountain was still quiet, hermits would often come here to make tea, play chess, and sit and talk. Unfortunately, this scene has not been seen for many years.
After practicing here for a long time.
The mountain people also tried their best not to disturb his sitting meditation.
This sea of bamboo has become his favorite place in his spare time.
Sometimes I would sit there for most of the day, carrying a book of scriptures, listening to the wind and admiring the moon.
But I came here today, obviously not to enjoy the scenery, but to enjoy the scene here without outsiders disturbing me.
“Come on, everyone, please take a seat.”
Compared with the Partridge Whistle Master brother and sister, the three brothers and sisters were more uneasy.
It will be much calmer if there is no dust.
Just let a few people sit down.
"Senior has found a good place, with such scenery, I want to move there and be a neighbor."
Looking at the green and jade-like scenery around him, Chen Yulou couldn't help but joke.
"Hahaha, little friend, I was joking. The Chen family is located in the land of three Hunan and four rivers, and there are 800 miles of Dongting. In terms of scenery, Kuanglu Mountain is even worse."
Stayed in the temple for so many days.
Liao Chen already knew the group of people very well.
Among all the people, Chen Yulou deserves to be the number one regardless of his temperament and means.
Zong is looking at the world.
In the entire world, there are very few people who are more outstanding than him.
With this joke, the tense atmosphere in the pavilion suddenly eased a lot, and Chen Yulou asked.
"Senior, have you made any progress after leaving seclusion this time?"
"You do have some ideas."
Lie Chen didn't hide anything and nodded.
The words just fell.
Chen Yulou immediately noticed that the breaths behind him were disturbed.
He knew very well how these two words shocked the three brothers and sisters. After all, even he could not hide his amazement.
Elder Liao Chen is indeed Mr. Zhang’s most proud disciple.
In just a few days, I found the way to decipher the heavenly book.
"Senior, what does the dragon bone say?"
"Don't be anxious, come sit down and talk slowly."
After looking at Partridge Whistle with an eager look on his face, Liao Chen waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.
Then the cuffs of the long sleeves of the toga twitched slightly.
Several objects fell on the stone table in sequence.
It is clearly a dragon bone variant, a sixteen-ink jade ring and a set of pen and paper.
“These days, I sorted these sixteen black jade rings one by one according to the sixteen-character Yin and Yang secret technique, and finally found a possibility.”
There are sixteen rings, but there is almost no difference from the outside. But on the inside of the ring, there are small characters carved one by one.
It is that subtle change.
Only then did Ling Chen get a hint of the secret.
At this moment.
I saw the fingers of his hands moving rapidly.
The originally messy ring was also rapidly changing its position.
From front to back, use two Bagua directions to place the stone.
After doing all this, Liao Chen did not stop. He spread out the white paper he brought with him, held the brush, and quickly wrote a line of words.
"This is..."
Waiting for him to write, the ink dried.
When he flipped the page over and pushed it in front of the two of them.
Partridge Whistle was refreshed. He didn’t dare to think any more. He leaned over and looked over seriously.
One left and one right on the paper.
Painted with patterns on both sides.
It is clearly the innate Bagua and the acquired Bagua.
There are also notes in regular characters on the side.
However, he knew all the words on the paper, but putting them together made him feel inexplicably obscure.
"Heaven and earth, people, ghosts, gods, Buddhas, demons and animals."
"Photographing the town to escape the objects and transform them into the yin and yang sky?"
As the partridge whistle muttered in a low voice, a look of dismay on his face The color of solution is also getting stronger and stronger.
"These are the sixteen words of Zhou Tian."
Chen Yulou explained softly.
"You know, little friend?"
Liao Chen's heart moved, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at him.
You know, since the master passed away, he is the only person in the world who understands the complete sixteen characters.
Zong is the second junior brother Jin Abacus.
I only know a lot about Feng Shui, but I also know nothing about Onmyoji in the second half of the volume.
All this is because the Zhou Tianquan hexagram has long been discontinued.
Back then, Mr. Zhang Sanye robbed a large tomb of the Zhou Dynasty and obtained a bronze vessel recording the Zhou Tianquan hexagram. After many years of painstaking study, he obtained the bronze vessel.
Finally, sixteen characters were deduced from the Zhou Tianquan hexagram.
As far as he knew, the Xieling sect specialized in weapons, similar to the Taoist Bishan Taoists, and was not good at Feng Shui.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yulou was able to tell the truth straight away.
How not to amaze him?
“My predecessors didn’t know something, but I have a close friend who is a descendant of Yin Yang Duan Gong. Chen has been very interested in the Five Elements Feng Shui since he was a child. He often asks for advice, and he has achieved success in his studies.”
"Yin Yang Duan Gong? But that Zhou Yuji from the Ming Dynasty?"
Liao Chen nodded first.
Then he seemed to think of something again and asked with a hint of surprise.
“Not bad.”
“Senior’s knowledge is really amazing.”
Four gates and four tribes.
Except for the Guanshan Feng Family, the reputation of the other three families is actually not very high.
Not to mention it was an ancient thing hundreds of years ago.
Most people don’t know everything about it, but they have never heard of it.
Liao Chen has retired from the world for so many years.
It can still be so clear.
It can only be said that his vision and insight are indeed far beyond ordinary people.
"It is said that Commander Zhou once shot a tiger to save an ape and was able to read the Heavenly Book. Now it seems that this rumor is not groundless."
See him confirm.
Liao Chen was even more amazed.
When he was still in the sect, he heard Mr. Zhang talk about the four major fighting families.
I originally thought that Zhou Yuji's knowledge of Yin and Yang and his ability to control gods and ghosts were just folk rumors, but I didn't expect... Judging from what I heard today, there seems to be evidence for this matter.
"Chen doesn't know whether the ancestors of the Zhou family have a book on heaven, but Mr. Zhou's attainments in Feng Shui are indeed extraordinary."
Chen Yulou responded ambiguously.
His understanding of sixteen characters.
The most of them naturally come from the original work.
Of course, the mausoleum genealogy obtained from the mountain-watching Taibao in Pingshan also included the Zhou Tianquan hexagram, but it was slightly different from the sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui secret technique.
“That’s it.”
Liao Chen nodded.
Don’t dwell on this anymore.
Pointing to the black jade rings placed in order on the stone table.
"These rings correspond to the sixteen characters of the Zhou Dynasty one by one, and then with the help of Yin Yang Bagua and Five Elements magic numbers, we can decipher the secret text of the heavenly book on the dragon bone."
"We have also thought of this. ."
Chen Yulou nodded.
It is recorded in the Book of Heaven that King Wen of Zhou obtained the Muchen Bead, and the black jade ring was the decoder for deciphering the cipher text.
He already knew this.
The problem is that having a decoder is not enough, you must also know how to use the decoder.
The method is the sixteen-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui secret technique.
This is why they traveled thousands of miles from Chenjiazhuang, Xiangyin, to come to Wuku Temple to look for him.
After all, it’s the whole world.
Liao Chen is the only person who knows sixteen characters.
As for Sun Guofu, who has yin and yang eyes, I dare not say whether he is still alive today, and even he has only obtained half a volume of secret techniques.
"Following this idea, I repeatedly calculated with the help of sixteen characters, and finally figured out a few characters." "I dare to ask senior, which ones are they?"
< br>I heard what Chen said.
The four people who came to the bamboo sea with him had surprise on their faces.
Liao Chen's fingers crossed over and finally landed on the cryptic texts on the far right side of the keel.
“The sting of the dragon and the snake!”
“The sting of the dragon and the snake?”
Hearing these words, an indescribable strange emotion suddenly appeared in my heart. The four people's hearts spread.
Even Chen Yulou is like this.
He even thought he heard it wrong, so he asked again specifically.
Then I picked up my pen and wrote in the blank space of the paper.
Still the sting of the dragon and snake.
"Senior, I have only heard of the inchworm's flexion in order to gain trust, and the dragon's and snake's sting in order to survive."
Chen Yulou frowned.
After thinking hard for a while, he finally spoke.
Even though he has a lot of knowledge and a strong memory, he still only wants to get this sentence at the moment.
“Does this dragon bone cipher text refer to it?”
Listening to what he said, the three brothers and sisters of the Partridge Whistle on the side were silent and did not dare to speak, for fear that they would It disturbed their thoughts.
As a member of the Zagrama clan.
For thousands of years, they have maintained the purest bloodline.
Even if they migrate all the way to Peacock Mountain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Be able to read and hyphenate characters.
But in the end, in terms of understanding of ancient culture, he is still far inferior to Chen Yulou.
At least when faced with the sting of the dragon and snake, without understanding its profound meaning, for a while, I was completely confused and ignorant.
"Shopkeeper Chen is indeed unparalleled in his knowledge."
Seeing that his words were clear.
The ancient Chinese sentence patterns are at your fingertips.
Liao Chen looked at him with more admiration in his eyes.
Originally, he only felt that the mind and means of this generation of Chen family shopkeepers were far beyond ordinary people.
Unexpectedly.
He is also so profound in his calligraphy attainments.
Yishu is obscure and difficult to understand.
It is impossible for someone who has not studied hard to blurt out something like this.
“This sentence comes from the Book of Changes, and it says that the dragon and snake hibernate in winter to cope with the weather and preserve their lives.”
"However, this should be an allusion."
A brief explanation of the true meaning of these four words.
The dust did not stop.
But he continued to tell his speculations to a few people.
“Lao Na has seen that this dragon bone is at least an antiquity from the Pre-Qin era, which can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties. At that time, the sting of the dragon and snake actually referred to King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou.”
"Moreover, it is recorded in historical records that King Wen was detained and performed the Book of Changes."
"So Lao Na guessed that this object may be left by King Wen, or at least related to him. Also, this dragon bone seems to be a fragment. It should be It’s not just about this.”
Boom——
Liao Chen spoke slowly and calmly.
Looking calm.
It seemed like they were just giving lectures and chanting.
But after hearing the assertion in his last sentence, Chen Yulou felt like there was a thunder in his mind.
You can guess this step just by deciphering the four characters "Dragon and Snake Sting".
I can only say that my knowledge is indeed extraordinary.
But if it were just that, he wouldn't be so shocked. The most important thing is the fragmentary chapter, which suddenly reminded him of the piece taken out of the Western Zhou Dynasty tomb in Longling.
If I remember correctly.
Professor Sun, also known as Feng Xuewu, after deciphering the dragon bone.
It was named ‘Fengming Qishan’.
In the past, he only thought that it was just Professor Sun's way of doing things.
But now the two are connected together.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but have an extremely bold idea in his heart.
The phoenix cries in Qishan, the dragon and snake sting.
They all praise the major events of King Wen's era.
The key point is that everyone knows these allusions, and they seem to have nothing to do with Muchen Bead.
So...
Is there a possibility.
The cipher text of the Dragon Bone Book is not as simple as it seems, but is heavily encrypted.
"Senior, based on the current deciphering speed, how long will it take for this keel to be completely written down?"
I thought of this.
Chen Yulou's heart sank, but his expression showed nothing, he just asked calmly.
"There are sixteen words to deduce, three days at most."
Liao Chen hesitated for a moment before giving an answer.
Three days?
Hearing this time limit, Chen Yulou nodded.
Based on his understanding of Liao Chen, he said that it could be completed in three days at most, or about two days.
He could still afford to wait for two or three days.
"Okay."
"Then please trouble senior to decipher the cipher text as soon as possible."
"No trouble..."
Liaochen waved his hand.
He had retired from the world for many years, and was accustomed to the days of green lanterns and yellow scrolls, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and had not used the secret technique of 16-character Yin and Yang Feng Shui for a long time, but now he could use it to practice.
For him, it's not all bad.
After agreeing, Liao Chen took a deep look at him.
Although we didn’t get along for long.
But he thought he had a fairly thorough understanding of Chen Yulou’s character.
Although this boy is not very old, he is calm and steady when things happen. He is obviously a little abnormal at the moment.
"What are you worried about, little friend?"
Facing Chen Chen's bright eyes, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shook his head.
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from my seniors.”
“I just feel that this variant letter may not be as simple as it seems.”
He briefly stated his guess.
Of course, the Fengming Qishan chapter has been deliberately hidden.
After all, of the three keels, only the first one has been released, and the remaining two are hidden in Longling and Heishui City.
"That's why I asked my senior to hurry up."
"If the secret text records are indeed nothing more than praising the merits of King Wen and King Wu, then it can be verified that Chen's guess is correct."
"The sting of a dragon and a snake, a flying bear falling into a dream?"
Listening to the allusions he used casually, even though he was still in the dust, he couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.
"Okay, I will go back to retreat now."
Speaking of this, he said goodbye to a few people without further delay, and declined their farewell, turned around and walked quickly towards Wuku Walk in the direction of the temple.
If it is true as Chen Yulou guessed.
There must be a huge secret hidden in this dragon bone.
The design of the Heavenly Book based on the Zhou Tianquan hexagram was enough to surprise him. If it were double-encrypted, the challenge would undoubtedly be even higher.
I kept watching him disappear into the vast sea of bamboo.
The three Partridge Whistlemen, who had been silent for a long time, finally looked away and their eyes fell on Chen Yulou.
The whole conversation.
They couldn't even get a word in.
Hua Ling and the old foreigners know nothing about Feng Shui. To them, it is nothing more than a heavenly book.
But the one who was hit the hardest was Partridge Whistle. He spent a lot of time studying in Chenjiazhuang and asked Zhou Mingyue for advice all day long, but he was still like this.
"Brother Chen, about the cipher text you just talked about with Senior Chen..."
"It's just a guess for the time being."
From his tone, Chen Yulou could guess what Partridge Whistle was thinking.
Shaked his head, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
"When Senior Chen deciphers the whole story, we will know the authenticity."
"What if it is true?"
Hua Ling finally reacted. , biting her red lips, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
She couldn't understand.
Why are there still so many difficulties despite having obtained the Muchen Bead?
"It really doesn't matter."
"With sixteen characters, it means you have mastered the method of using the key. At most, you can just change your mind."
