How come the name of the first leader of the Guidance School appears here?
Could it be said that this stone tablet showing the origin of the Great Palace School was carved by Guido D'Alezzo?
Is there some connection between the Guidance School and the Grand Court School?
With these questions, Fan Ning carefully looked at the seven witness symbols from right to left again: diagonal line segment, spark gear, arc knife, lamp, spring, liquid and hand, mirror. He still didn't get it from this row of symbols.
The two righteous gods "Raven" and "Fanghui Poet" were found, but no "Endless Fugue" was found - this seems to indicate that the last three witnesses are not the origin gods.
Moreover, no one felt the terrifying feeling when they were glimpsed by the "Truth Tiger" before, which shows that the Lord of Witnesses behind these symbols may have encountered some unknown change.
"I am increasingly suspicious that this is the remains of the so-called 'Original God' that the Special Patrol Office is collecting." Qiong's tone was decisive.
Qiyuan Shen... Fan Ning couldn't help but ponder this term carefully.
It may represent that the master of this type of witness was the origin of similar ritual vessels? And for what reason did it fall away?... This is indeed a bit difficult to understand.
Is the "Fountain in the Painting" one of them? Something happened to him, but his pollution remained?
"Caron, look at this." Sheeran pointed at the lamp pattern again, "Do you remember that when we first opened the secret door of the Turner Art Museum, a piece of painted paper fell out from the mezzanine.
The secret base of the jet-black lamp-shaped outline?”
"I have an impression..." Fan Ning nodded, "Look at the hand stretched out from the liquid. Isn't this the phase symbol of 'Chi'? Why is it the symbol of the Lord of Witness?"
"Could it be...'Red Pond'?" Xilan guessed, "It's quite strange. I've been wondering why the name of the Lord of Witnesses has a phase name..."
"It's indeed strange." Fan Ning said, "And 'Hongchi' is also the evil god enshrined by the Joyful Listening Club. Could it be that the Qiyuan God who was followed by the Great Palace School is not the only one who is crazy? But haven't all the Qiyuan Gods become crazy?
Is it a wreckage? I can understand the pollution characteristics left by the wreckage, it is similar to the 'Fountain in the Painting'... But this 'Red Pond', is it alive again?"
Apart from the "Fountain in the Painting", the only familiar symbols to the few people are the "Red Pond" and the lamp, and the other four are very unfamiliar.
"Caron..." As the two were discussing, Joan suddenly spoke with a trembling voice, "I, I, I, I feel... that deformed paint ball in the underground building... seems to have followed here..."
These words startled Fan Ning. His thoughts were pulled away from the discussion of secret history. He suddenly turned around and realized that the paint that was originally falling in the green night sky had turned into a downpour!
When I looked down again, I saw that the ground was covered with red, green, blue and purple that was more than 30 centimeters thick. I didn't know when it had covered the shoes of the three of us.
He just responded by holding the hands of the two girls, and the fluid suddenly foamed and swollen violently. The soles of their feet slipped and they all fell down.
Exclamations rang out, and the paint covered the three people's bodies. Their faces looking up to the sky were instantly covered by the newly fallen paint. Fan Ning grabbed Sheeran and Qiong's hands tightly, but the foul-smelling liquid was poured directly into himself.
of mouth and nose.
Everything happened too fast.
Fan Ning felt tingling all over his body, and his heart began to pump blood violently, and then seeped out of the gradually dissolving skin.
Even though he was moving, this experience was still completely real, and it made him completely feel that death was approaching, without any room for struggle or resistance.
The ends of the limbs have transformed into part of His image, and the area of unconsciousness begins to spread towards the torso.
The whole world was filled with screams of pain and excitement in the paint, and the desperate cries of the two girls were gradually drowned.
Perhaps this is the final outcome for most knowledgeable people?
Or maybe, the experience of traveling to this so-called different world for nearly a year will start and end with a nightmare after all.
It would be nice if you have stood on the conductor's podium, enjoyed the feeling of the symphony you composed flowing out from under the conductor's baton, experienced the gaze of the musicians and the audience, experienced encores, flowers, applause and sleepless nights.
After dozens of breaths, Fan Ning was left with only a pair of eyes exposed in the pile of paint.
His last moment of sight was once again directed at the stone tablet hanging in mid-air.
The symbol on the far right seems to... suddenly flash to me?
So hot
A piece of blood red
His ears were buzzing, and the sunlight penetrated his closed eyes, reflecting the blood flow in his flesh a bright red color.
The chirping birds, the noisy chirping of cicadas and the rushing breeze gradually occupied the main part of the hearing. The back and buttocks were touched by long stick-like things, and the dampness and coldness of the soil came from the rest of the place. The upward facing cheeks,
However, my abdomen and legs were burned hot by the sun.
After dozens of breaths, Fan Ning slowly opened his eyes. The scorching light poured down from the branches. He subconsciously raised his arms to cover it, and the dirt also rubbed his face.
Where is this? Fan Ning jumped up, patted the rotten leaves and twigs off his body with both hands, and stabilized his backpack again.
The sunlight casts spots on the forest paths through the layers of branches and leaves. As far as the end of the field of vision, huge steel supports and factory chimneys with billowing smoke are faintly visible.
The hill behind the Turner Art Museum? How did you get out?
After leaving the underground building, those terrible memories began to lose their coherence, while some iconic images became more vivid and clear.
Is it reality or a nightmare?
The last scene was so hopeless, but now I can return from Migong without any trouble. It must be just a nightmare, right?
However, he suddenly realized that his arm was burning with pain.
He stretched out his hand and turned it over, exposing one side of his elbow. The blood stained the nearby clothes red. Then he rolled up his sleeves, and fine and ferocious imprints were clearly visible on the skin.
Pulling out the crowbar, the metal at the front was covered with paint. The backpack was extremely heavy, so he grabbed it to his chest and saw the stack of books titled "Ocgogon Codex".
Before she could think about it further, Fan Ning realized a more important problem and immediately looked around. When she found the white figures of the two girls lying under the tree more than ten meters away, her hanging heart was finally relieved.
He took out his pocket watch and found that it was three o'clock in the afternoon, less than two hours before entering the secret door.
Under the deep well, the only time he saw the time was when he was resting in the underground cave with the "Dome Door" painted on it. At that time, his pocket watch pointed to two forty.
Regardless of whether this reading was correct or not, it was completely inconsistent with his experience of the flow of time before and after. He couldn't help but think of the experience that Joan once shared about her mistakenly entering the "disintegration field" of the secret realm of migration.
After more than ten minutes, the two girls woke up leisurely. After Fan Ning calmed their emotions a little, everyone began to walk slowly down the hill.
After the disaster, everyone first exchanged some feelings about the situation. They all agreed that except for the unknown trigger caused by the "Mantra Snake" at the beginning, the later encounters did not leave any discomfort in the present. On the contrary, everyone's inspiration intensity seemed to have improved.
A considerable improvement, especially since the two girls speculated that they were close to the peak of the strength of low-level wise men.
In addition, there is also a batch of valuable hidden knowledge and occult literature.
This is obtained in exchange for the high risk of exposure to the secret history.
"So did you see anything at the end?" Fanning then asked.
Joan's face was paler than Fan Ning had seen during the rehearsal that day. She shook her head: "I felt a lot of pain all over my body, my heart was beating very fast, and my body gradually dissolved into the paint. Then I lost consciousness, and even
Before that, a fragment of my life experience flashed rapidly..."
Fan Ning couldn't help but be confused when he heard this. Could it be that the flashing symbol he saw inexplicably at the end was also a near-death experience?
He began to take out the volumes of the Oakgun Codex one by one from his backpack and scanned them briefly.
"The War of Persuasion... Sheeran, you have a high level of historical literacy. Have you ever heard of such a war?"
Xilan shook his head blankly: "When did the incident happen?"
Fan Ning flipped through it roughly: "This is a historical review document written by a historian of the Theoline Empire who claimed to be 'Jean Cosme' and aims to reveal the 'laws of struggle between schools and churches'.
The title page is full of warnings from the copyist 'Okgon', indicating that 'Cosm' has been erased in every sense, and more than 70% of the text in the first part of the book has been dyed black with paint..."
"...In the rear text about the unclear 'Second War of Persuasion' in 728-729 of the New Calendar, it is mentioned that the leaders of the new steam age listened to the advice of the spokesperson of the 'Lord of Hosts', and united the people of the school on the church's
The scholars began to exhort them with ideas, which ultimately led to the "Return of the Crows to the West" and the "Destruction of the Blood Esoteric Cult and the Immortal Esoteric Cult"... The transcriber "Okgon" spent a lot of space in the end notes to lament his unfair treatment as the victor...
"
"I have never heard of this statement, but the changes in the power of the church mentioned later can barely be confirmed..." Sheeran curled his lips and commented, "This so-called 'War of Persuasion', those two years were close to the Empire's 'Steam Revolution'
The final stage of the war... This was a war that started in the second half of the 7th century and lasted for more than sixty years..."
Joan interrupted and said: "Well, it is a well-known history. The Nehemiah family was knighted after their meritorious service in that era."
Sheeran continued to briefly describe: "At that time, the Hoffmann feudal dynasty was in decline. Under the secret control of the Holy Kingdom of Janus, it was penetrated by the Nileru people, Tungus and Lange people, and finally Louis I ascended to the throne.
Enter the stage of history, launch a steam revolution, weaken the power of the church, denounce and conquer the invaders..."
"The final result is: the small countries of the Nileru and Tungus people were destroyed, the Lange people were driven back to their home base of the Kingdom of Lydia in the Western Continent, the Lingyin Discipline Society was banned from preaching in the Northern Continent, and many secret churches were
Defined as an evil god organization and eradicated... The Holy Sun Church seems to have become the only legal righteous church in the Northern Continent. However, its strong position is gone forever, and the cakes obtained are not as good as when many churches coexisted... The Hoffmans have
It expanded its territory, changed its name to the Tioline Empire, and gradually embarked on the road of industrialization..."
Fan Ning finally speculated: "Since the biggest winner is the emerging industrial class of Tioleon, then comparing history and secret history, it seems that behind this war is the predecessor of the Special Patrol Office cooperating with several university sects to fight against the church forces..."
Everyone glanced at the next few volumes together and found that "Investigation of the Great Palace's Deeds" was written in Noa language that required a lot of translation to interpret, while "The Ascension of Chariots to Heaven" and "Holy Spring Tantra" were written in similar language to the previous volumes.
The confusing words on the frame describe some "painful and drastic changes" in the body or spirit of "the person who passes through the door", and praise the "spring in the painting" for all things in the world.
Harmony, change and aesthetic teaching'.
These passionate and passionate sentences filled with meaningless words put the three of them in a trance. When they read the text about various human body modification experiments and weird sacrificial methods in "Human Transmutation Records", their mental state returned to the state of collapse again.
edge.
The tower that symbolizes the origin, a mixture of ancient buildings from various periods, the unintentional glance of the "Mantra Tiger", the weird galleries and rooms, the objects that come to life, the deformed paint monsters, the indescribable pollution channels, it is amazing.
The dizzy and disgusting ruins of the third history, the pain of being dissolved and the fear of transformation...
The horrifying scenes in my memory seemed to come to life again, and possessed all the real things in front of me, causing them to undergo hallucinatory changes.
Fan Ning didn't know how he pretended to be calm and walked down the mountain back to the Turner Museum of Art.
A few people managed to deal with the remains of the secret ritual in the mobile exhibition hall, sealed the secret door again, and then returned to the Woodpecker Consulting Office not far away with wandering eyes, and continued to crawl with wandering eyes amidst the aroma of a pile of tempting food.
Go up to the second floor.
As soon as "Carol" Joan entered the office room of 209, she lay face down on the sofa, "If you insist on rehearsing tomorrow, I still don't want the aura of 'principal flute in the premiere of 'Symphony No. 1''"
Let me sleep well, although I may not be able to sleep."
"No more rows, no more rows tomorrow, let them practice by themselves on the weekend." Fan Ning sat on the piano bench with his legs slumped, and leaned back directly.
"Why don't you go and return the ritual utensils first?" Sheeran's voice was hoarse, "I think I heard it, Dupont should be playing guitar inside."
"Let him remember and get it himself." Fan Ning turned around and opened the cover of the upright piano with trembling hands. "Don't talk to me. Let me play the piano first. I want to be quiet."
He started from the first piece in Bach's Well-Tempered Piano Collection, "Prelude and Fugue in C Major" (BWV846), and played the next one. The bright and quiet broken chords of the Prelude sounded in the room, and several people banged
The beating heart gradually calmed down.
Later, when Fan Ning performed various exquisite fugues under his fingers, the other two people were more and more surprised in their distracted consciousness. They discovered that there were hidden meanings in these works that they had never heard before.
With extremely high polyphonic skills and profound logical beauty, they began to look at Fan Ning's profile with eyes mixed with enjoyment and disbelief.
Bach's musical solace brought several people back from the brink of collapse, but the condition of the next few people was still not very good.
Fan Ning can dream about those things almost every day. Sometimes he is climbing the endless spiral staircase in the center of an empty tower, and then suddenly he is frightened by the screams of pain and excitement behind him, and turns around from the height.
Falling down, sometimes he wandered around the ruins of the Grand Palace School again, witnessing those giant buildings that made people dizzy and disgusted, and sometimes he found that the art gallery he reopened was full of weird impasto paintings.
and statue dolls, and the eyes of every visitor who came to the exhibition were as ancient and terrifying as the "Truth Serpent"
Although he was still able to maintain the self-awareness of lucid dreams using dream control, the process of moving through these things still made people feel disgusted and uncomfortable.
He tried his best to devote all his attention to rehearsing and studying music, and his whole body was slowly recovering. Time flashed to Monday, August 11th, less than five days before leaving for the imperial capital.
The musicians came unusually early today.
At 7:40, the rehearsal hall was already packed. Fan Ning, who was wearing a formal suit and carrying a briefcase, just opened the door and saw everyone looking at him with all their eyes.
Because today is the day when he announces the candidates for the musicians to perform in the imperial capital.
