Chapter 17 Weird Stone
After Gong Er left, the backyard became quiet for a while.
Wen Guying broke the silence and said: "Come on, brother Li, I will introduce you to this girl Zhu Qingyun Zhu. She is an official of Qintian Prison. She was found near Xuanshui Mountain recently. I found some special stones with weird patterns on them. I searched through the collection of books in Sishen Palace and couldn't find anything similar. So I thought of Brother Li. My father-in-law happened to be studying Taoism in Sishen Palace and he went there again. After passing Xuanshui Mountain, I brought him here with me."
After Wen Guying finished explaining the reason for coming here, Zhu Qingyun took the lead in greeting Li Chuan and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, I have something related to ornamentation. Can I ask you a question?"
Li Chuan said bluntly: "Of course, it's just that I haven't studied "The Classic of Patterns" for less than two months, so I may not be able to answer the girl's doubts."
< br>
Zhu Qingyun said: "Just try your best."
A gust of wind blew by.
Li Chuan said: "Let's talk when we go back to the house."
Wen Guying and Zhu Qingyun followed Li Chuan into the house.
Li Chuan glanced into the kitchen. He was lying on the edge of the iron pot and chattering to the third person next to him.
"Third brother, this time the second brother has learned a real skill."
"There is a river on Tianju Mountain. You know, the river is full of chalcedony!"
"When we go up the mountain, we don't take the mountain road, but ride on the crane. Second brother, I have ridden on the crane's chicken before!"
"..."
Li Chuan turned around and thought. I can't use this pot today.
Forget it, we have guests, let’s go out to eat later.
Li Chuan found another chair from the bedroom and asked Wen Guying and Zhu Qingyun to sit down.
After sitting down, Zhu Qingyun took out a few stones and placed them on the table.
Each stone is about the size of a fist, very irregular in shape, blue-black, dark or light in color, with some long and short scratches on the surface.
The texture seems to be burned out of the stone rather than artificially carved, which is very strange.
Zhu Qingyun said: "These are the stones, can you see anything?"
Hearing this, Li Chuan picked up a stone and looked at it carefully. After looking at it for a while, he stood up and walked Go outside and look at the sun.
After looking at it for a long time, the stone in front of me was still a stone, without any change.
During this period of time, he gained some experience in repairing the house and repairing the crabs.
First of all, there must be light, either daylight or candlelight. There seems to be certain requirements for the angle, but I am not sure; secondly, it depends on luck, not everything can show a state of pattern decomposition for him to do the puzzle. If the question is too ugly, it may not work, and if it is too neat, it may not work. The third thing is to see his own state and whether he can concentrate. This may be the only controllable thing.
He carefully recalled the incident of picking up this book in the river. At that time, a golden light seemed to flash before his eyes. He also thought about the golden light coming out of his body in the ruined temple and knocking away the fox. Some power must have entered his body at that time.
When he has the light to concentrate, he can use this power to enter a mysterious state, but he feels that this is a passive force, and he has not yet found a way to use it actively.
I can’t cultivate immortality, and I can’t understand the inheritance strategy, so I can only be a tinkering craftsman.
So these stones are out of luck. Li Chuan came to a conclusion, walked back into the room and said, "I didn't see anything, and I couldn't recognize the pattern on it." Zhu Qingyun looked a little disappointed.
Wen Guying said: "Brother Li, can you tell what pattern this is?"
Li Chuan thought for a while and felt that he wanted to express his serious attitude, so he grabbed a few stones together and looked at them. , two pieces seemed to be put together, and then I went to the bedroom to find "The Classic of Patterns" and flipped through it page by page. Finally, I found a picture on the last few pages with a partial similarity of more than 56%. .
Looking at the picture for a while, I felt dizzy and couldn’t figure out what it meant.
Li Chuan feels that he may be the worst inheritor of "The Classic of Patterns". He can't understand where there are words, and he doesn't know how to read where there are no words. If it was his eldest brother, he might have set up a food stall on the street now. If it was his younger brother, he would be very happy to get this book. Maybe he could dismantle it and use the things he couldn't understand. Theorems and formulas can be used to produce a "Comprehensive Annotation of Pattern Sutra".
He thought, put the book on the table, pointed at the page and said: "The upper right corner of this picture seems to be a little similar."
Zhu Qingyun leaned over to take a look, but saw nothing. She asked: "I can't see, I can only see a white light. Can you draw it?"
"I'll give it a try." Li Chuan said.
He picked up the brush and dipped it in ink. When he wanted to draw the pattern, he suddenly felt that his mind went blank. He put down the brush, flipped through the book, and tried to draw again, but it didn't work. , it was still blank, and finally I tried to trace the pattern on the book, but it still didn’t work.
There is power preventing him from doing this.
Li Chuan put down his pen and said: "I can't draw it."
Wen Guying understood it well, and he explained to Li Chuan: "It's like this. If it could be drawn and written, there wouldn't be so few heirs of "The Classic of Patterns."
Li Chuan to Zhu Qingyun Said: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhu, I can't help."
Zhu Qingyun said: "Master Li is willing to help, I am already grateful."
Li Chuan was about to speak. , then Wen Guying said: "Brother Li, why don't you and Junior Sister Zhu go to Xuanshui Mountain together? Do some on-the-spot investigation, and maybe you will find something else."
Xuanshui Mountain?
no!
The two unworthy little monsters, Gong Er and Pang San, cost him half of his life. The monsters on the top of Xuanshui Mountain are all those who have been cultivating for who knows how many years. Not to mention the Black Horned King, he was in the official "Daiyouji"!
Li Chuan immediately refused and said: "No."
If you don't understand the refusal, you will keep compromising.
Then he slowed down his tone and explained: "Master Wen, it's not that Mr. Li is greedy for life and afraid of death. My parents passed away early, and I am the only son left in the family. I am not married yet. Li's family lineage , if it is broken here, how can I face my ancestors?”
He saw Zhu Qingyun frown slightly.
I don’t want to offend the official people.
So he added, "Or...is there any way, for example, is there a magic weapon that can transmit images and sounds in real time? In this way, I wish the girl can be there when she needs me when she is investigating on Xuanshui Mountain. , just use this magic weapon to contact me."
After hearing what Li Chuan said, Wen Guying laughed and said, "Brother Li always has so many wonderful ideas!"
" No?" Li Chuan asked.
Wen Guying said: "Yes, there is. The Baoyuan Fire Mirror of Tianyu Sect's Zhen Sect can indeed do what Brother Li described. If I borrow it, I guess I can borrow it, but it is too overqualified and overkill." ”
