After a while, Ma Tiexin walked out with a wooden box in his arms, slammed it into Xiao Yun's arms, and said, "Here you go!"
Manu stared at the wooden box with burning eyes, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and at the same time glanced at Xiao Yun with some concern.
Although this kid had promised that he would lend himself a night to read the "Gu King Manual", but now that he was a great Gu Master and had controlled the Nine Heart Gu, there was nothing he could do even if he cheated on him.
Seemingly seeing through Ma Nu's thoughts, Xiao Yun smiled faintly and handed the wooden box to him, "Master Ma Nu, please keep it for me first."
Hearing this, not only Manu was stunned for two seconds, but everyone present was also a little surprised.
This is the "Gu King Manual"! Xiao Yun handed it over to others so casually? Should he be said to be approachable or neurotic?
Manu glanced at Xiao Yun with gratitude and took the wooden box with respectful hands.
Seeing this, Ma Tiexin couldn't help but sneer and said: "Ma Nu, this little bastard just gave you some rags casually, why should you be grateful to him like a dog?"
Hearing this, everyone present was furious.
"The "Gu King's Manual" is an inheritance left by our ancestors. How dare you call it a junk thing?"
"In my opinion, the father and son just can't afford to lose! If they can't eat the grapes, they will say they are sour grapes!"
Ma Tiexin glanced at everyone in a funny way and said sarcastically: "The inheritance left by our ancestors? Haha, you have all been deceived! What is written on it is of no use at all!"
Manu's pupils shrank and he blurted out angrily: "Nonsense!"
"If you don't believe it, just open it and see for yourself."
Manu was stunned, glanced at Xiao Yun, and saw that he seemed to have doubts, so he opened the wooden box.
I saw a very simple thread-bound book lying quietly in the box.
There were four big characters written on the cover of the book, but the appearance of these four characters was very strange. They seemed to be some kind of ancient writing. He could only make out the word "王" and the word "真".
Manu frowned and carefully opened the book.
The next second.
Manu was shocked, his eyes widened, and then he flipped through the book faster and faster, as if he saw something unacceptable.
The onlookers couldn't help but raise their necks curiously, and everyone wanted to take a sneak peek at the contents of the book.
Especially after seeing Manu's shocked look, some people couldn't hold back anymore and shouted angrily: "Ma Nu, this book belongs to the great Gu Master! Don't take the opportunity to secretly memorize the Gu techniques in it.
!”
"That's right! The Great Gu Master just asked you to keep it for you, you are not qualified to learn the things inside!"
"Close the book quickly! You are not qualified to read it!"
Manu seemed not to hear the shouts and curses from everyone, and stared blankly at the book in his hand, his eyes full of confusion.
Seeing this, Ma Tiexin looked joking and said loudly: "He just wants to learn secretly, but there is nothing to learn! I have told you a long time ago that the things recorded in this book are useless!"
Manu seemed to find it difficult to accept it, and suddenly shouted: "Impossible! How can the inheritance left by our ancestors be useless!"
As he spoke, he shook his hands and the book fell to the ground, and everyone's eyes also looked over.
The breeze blew by, and the book was blown open page by page.
Those with sharp eyes immediately stretched their necks to look, but were stunned for a moment, with a flash of shock in their eyes and a look full of suspicion.
I saw that the words in the "Gu King Manual" were neither Chinese characters nor Miao. Instead, they were like weird images that no one could understand.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. No one expected that the legendary "Gu King Manual" was actually written in a weird ancient script.
If no one can understand it, then wouldn’t the precious content recorded in it be unable to be passed down?
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
"No wonder Ma Liuqi has been a great Gu Master for more than 20 years, but he has never researched anything."
"It's weird to understand this kind of ghostly talisman!"
"W-what exactly is this word? Is the inheritance left by our ancestors going to be cut off like this?"
However, at this moment, Xiao Yun's faint tone came from behind everyone.
"This is seal script."
In an instant, everyone looked at him with a "swish", some were surprised and some questioned.
Xiao Yun stepped forward, picked up the "Gu King Manual", flipped through a few pages, and continued: "To be precise, it is Xiaozhuan, which is the font used in the implementation document of Qin Shihuang."
In fact, there have been many large-scale migrations in the history of the Miao people.
After Qin annexed Bashu and then destroyed Chu, the Miao people began to flee to the southwest in large numbers.
During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Miao people in the southwest also gathered their strength and once again gathered a powerful force.
But this also attracted the attention of the ruling class, who began to use large-scale troops against the Miao people. The Miao people could only move westward again, living in seclusion deep in the higher and more dangerous mountains, and the various villages became more and more scattered.
Xiao Yun guessed that this "Gu King Zhenjing" should have been written by the ancestors of the Miao people during the Qin and Han Dynasties, so the font of Xiaozhuan was used.
However, he is also a little curious. There are very few people who know Xiaozhuan nowadays. If he hadn't inherited it, he probably wouldn't be able to understand these characters.
Since this book is to pass down the teachings of witchcraft and Gu, why did it choose such an unknown ancient text?
While Xiao Yun was thinking, Manu's face lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Wazi, you...can you understand these words?"
Xiao Yun nodded lightly.
Ma Tiexin's face was stunned and he shouted excitedly: "Impossible! Stop bragging! How can anyone understand these words that look like snakes crawling?!"
Xiao Yun glanced at him, smiled contemptuously, and immediately started reading to the page he opened casually: "...change flowers and plants, which often grow on the edge of dangerous peaks. They are like vines, and the roots are used as medicine, which can balance the gender of the fetus during pregnancy...
A horizontal stem will give birth to a girl, a vertical root will give birth to a boy..."
Word by word, everyone present was amazed, and at the same time they were also very surprised that Xiao Yun could understand such strange words.
As the injured Ma Liuqi listened, his pupils kept dilating. He suddenly became agitated, coughed violently, and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Ma Tiexin panicked and immediately pointed at Xiao Yun and yelled: "You little bastard, shut up! Don't think I can't see it. In fact, you can't understand these words at all. You are just making them up!"
"Snapped!"
Xiao Yun closed the scripture suddenly, and with a little sarcasm on his lips, he squinted at him and said, "I think your father knows very well whether I am making this up or not!"
Before Ma Tiexin could refute anything, Ma Nu spoke first: "Shi Yun is definitely not making this up! This is the Dong people's secret recipe for giving birth to children. If it weren't for the record in the Gu King Manual, he would be a Miao doll.
It’s impossible to know!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Xiao Yun with shock and admiration.
"My Lord Chi You, this child actually understands those words!"
"Ma Liuqi has been holding this treasure book for twenty years, just occupying the latrine and not taking a shit!"
"That's right! If Shi Yun hadn't obtained this treasured book today, our inheritance would have ended in the hands of that old thief!"
"Master Chi You bless you, Master Chi You bless you!"
The more everyone talked, the more excited they became, and the eyes they looked at Xiao Yun were even more filled with awe.
"Great Gu Master Shi Yun is the one chosen by Master Chi You!"
In the crowd, no one knew who howled so loudly, and instantly, the atmosphere in the entire scene became more and more exciting.
