After bidding farewell to Uncle Qiangba, Tashi Dorje and the villagers of Zhaga Doma Village, a group of us set out on our way home.
Basang didn't trust us and drove us to Chengdu. Because Hai Hu's injury had not yet recovered, and Professor Dong and Dong Xiaodan were also relatively weak, Wen Qingshan arranged for the three of them to fly back to Xiangsha from Chengdu in advance. I and I
He and the three of them continued to drive back.
After returning home, several people were already exhausted. Not only did they fail to find the so-called treasure on this trip to Tibet, they even lost the most critical human skin map. In Jian Jian's view, it was simply a steal.
rice, but I feel like I gained a lot.
On the one hand, I got an animal bone plate called a token of God. Although I haven't yet figured out what the words on the animal bone plate mean, I vaguely feel that there is a major secret hidden in this animal bone plate.
On the other hand, I finally know that my blood does not contain any toxins, which means that it will not cause any harm to other people. This is the biggest gain of this trip for me.
Over the years, every time I think about the possibility that my blood may contain toxins that are fatal to others, I feel as if my whole body has been castrated.
.In other words, from now on I can live a normal life like other ordinary people, especially in terms of relationships.
Despite this, I did not reveal my love to Dong Xiaodan. It’s not that I lacked the courage, and I really wanted to do it. But the scene where the owl monster almost kidnapped Dong Xiaodan at Doma Temple that day seems to be lingering in my mind.
Like a nightmare, it always appears in my mind.
And it made me realize that if people in the cult really knew that I was the descendant of the gods as mentioned by Master Dolma, it would most likely be detrimental to the people around me. If I confirmed my relationship with Dong Xiaodan at this time, then she
They will definitely bear the brunt of being targeted by people in the cult.
So for Dong Xiaodan's personal safety, I can only continue to hide my emotions. However, now I at least have hope in my heart. As long as I find the artifact that Master Dolma said can be integrated with the Shambhala Dharma Axis and
Throw it into the Dragon Realm's Dragon Transformation Pond, and it will be completely destroyed.
Seal the God of Hell at the bottom. By that time, both the Black Sect and the Black Demon Sect will disappear with their "god", and everything will return to peace, and I will no longer have to worry about it.
, I just don’t know if Dong Xiaodan will wait for me that long.
Of course, these are all things for later. The top priority right now is to figure out the meaning of the so-called dragon armor inscriptions on the animal bone plate that Master Dolma gave me as soon as possible.
For this reason, after returning home, I asked Professor Dong to help me and consulted a large number of books on ancient writing. After all, he is an expert on ancient writing and has relatively complete information in this area.
However, he searched through almost all the information and could not find the so-called Dragon Armor script, or even words similar to the Dragon Armor script.
This is strange. Since it is a kind of writing that once existed, why is it completely missing from the records? Just when we all thought it was incredible, Wen Qingshan found some clues.
That day, he called me into the study. As soon as I walked into the library-like study, I saw several bundles of bamboo slips placed on a desk in the study.
This can’t help but surprise me. Bamboo slips were a writing material from the Warring States Period to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and were also the main writing tools before the invention of papermaking. However, since bamboo slips are not easy to preserve for a long time, they are now rare.
until now
Yes, each piece is a treasure. Even here in Wenqingshan, the bamboo slips are collected by him as high-quality cultural relics. They are usually kept in the basement and rarely taken out, but now he has taken out such bundles.
The bamboo slips are placed on the table, and I don't know what I want to do.
I was about to ask him why he put all these bamboo slips on the table, but before I could say anything, he pointed to one of the bamboo slips spread out and said, "Look at this first!"
I immediately moved forward and looked at the words on the bamboo slips.
Due to the age, the scroll of bamboo slips has been somewhat damaged, so some of the words on it cannot be read very clearly. Moreover, all the words on it are ancient and traditional Chinese characters, so it looks quite laborious. I read it for a long time, and I still read it.
I asked Wen Qingshan for advice from time to time, and finally I could basically understand it.
When I read the contents on the bamboo slips, I couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that the bamboo slips recorded the history of the Qin Dynasty, and it mentioned that the First Emperor of Qin burned books to entrap Confucians. According to the bamboo slips, the real purpose of burning books and entrapping Confucians was actually
In order to make an ancient writing from ancient times extinct in the world!
The bamboo slips said that the reason why Qin Shihuang risked the whole world to burn books and harass Confucians was because this ancient writing had some magical power. Some alchemists believed that as long as they deciphered the mystery of the writing, they would be able to live forever. But at the same time,
, if anyone mastered the magical power of writing, it might threaten the rule of Qin Shihuang, so Qin Shihuang ordered that all the classics related to this writing be burned, and many magicians who claimed to be proficient in this writing were killed.
I really didn’t expect that the truth about the famous incident of burning books and entrapping Confucians in history would be like this. I was shocked and speechless for a moment.
Wen Qingshan asked me from the side: "What do you think of this?"
I turned around and looked at Wen Qingshan, and said in a daze: "Could it be that the ancient writing that Qin Shihuang wants to destroy is the Dragon Armor script?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "Based on the records on the bamboo slips, it is very possible! Although this is just an unofficial record, it may not be the historical truth. However, the ancient characters mentioned in the article do have similarities with the Dragon Armor Inscriptions
, so maybe it’s really something.”
I couldn't help but sigh: "Holy crap! If this is really the case, then Qin Shihuang is too ruthless. In order to consolidate his power, he even destroyed an ancient writing."
"This is actually nothing. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he took strong measures to unify the six countries' writing and currency. This has caused a large number of ancient writings to be lost. The Dragon Armor script is just one of them."
Speaking of this, Wen Qingshan suddenly changed the topic and said: "By the way, I have carefully studied the history of Bon religion these days. The founding time of Bon religion was probably around 200 BC, and the history of the Qin Dynasty started from
From 221 BC to 206 BC, that is to say, Bon religion should have been founded around the time of the fall of the Qin Dynasty. So I suspect that it may be because Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucians.
This move caused some warlocks to flee to the inaccessible plateau areas, and combined with the local religious beliefs, eventually forming the Bon religion. This can also explain why the Bon religion doctrines have many similarities with the mythological beliefs originating from the Central Plains.
For example, the respect for dragons. It was at that time that the dragon armor script spread to the snow-covered plateau areas and became a rune used by the Bon religion."
After hearing what Wen Qingshan said, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: "So, since the Qin Dynasty, the Longjia script has disappeared in the Central Plains. If we want to find out, we still have to go through the Bon religion?"
Wen Qingshan waved his hand and said: "That's not necessarily true. Although the Dragon Jiawen is used by the Bon religion as a magical rune, people in the Bon religion don't seem to understand the true meaning of the Dragon Jiawen. If you want to understand it,
, I thought about it, maybe there is only one place."
"Where?" I asked hurriedly.
Wen Qingshan glanced at me and replied word for word: "The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang!"
I was slightly startled: "Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum? Why is this place?"
Speaking of Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum, the first thing I think of is Qin Shi Huang’s Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but I can’t associate this place with the Dragon Armor Inscriptions.
Wen Qingshan explained: "If you look carefully at the record on this bamboo slip, it says that some alchemists believe that as long as they decipher the mysteries contained in ancient texts, they can live forever. Qin Shihuang was very obsessed with the art of immortality, and not only summoned alchemists to refine it
He even sent people to the sea to find the elixir of immortality.
Looking for the immortal prescription. How could Qin Shihuang not pay attention to a magical writing that contains the secret of immortality? So I was thinking that although he ordered people to destroy all the classics related to this writing, in fact, he
It is very likely that people will study this kind of writing in secret."
"You mean, he was still unwilling to give up until his death, and even brought this magical text into the mausoleum?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "It is very possible. You should still remember what Master Zhuoma said about the origin of this dragon armor inscription, right?"
"Of course I remember! He said that when this kind of writing was first discovered, it was carved on some dragon scales." I replied.
"According to historical records, in his later years, Qin Shihuang was very obsessed with a kind of black slate carved with ancient characters. This slate is so hard that no matter how sharp the sword is, it is difficult to leave marks on it. It is not known what kind of magic weapon was used to write the words on it.
After the death of Qin Shihuang, this magical stone slab was brought into the tomb as a funerary object. I now suspect that these so-called stone slabs are most likely dragon scales with dragon armor inscriptions on them! Because dragon scales are
It’s a very hard thing.”
"What!?" Wen Qingshan's words shocked me. I was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully: "But hasn't the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang been dug up? I haven't heard of any hard stone slabs with ancient characters engraved on it!"
Wen Qingshan was slightly stunned at first, then seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Who did you hear that the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was dug up?"
"If they were not dug up, what happened to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses from Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum?" I asked. In my impression, Qin Shi Huang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses came from Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum.
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, you only know one thing but not the other. The terracotta warriors and horses unearthed now are actually only from a small part of the burial pits in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. The real imperial mausoleum has not been excavated."
