"There seems to be a mention of the Xuan Shu Iron Coupon above!" Song Siyuan mentioned this, and John Hua became nervous and listened more carefully.
She paused, her tone became mysterious, and continued: "Back then, when the rebels of the Southern Song Dynasty hijacked the ship and counted the treasures, they found a mysterious book iron coupon. They didn't know what it was used for, but they knew that it recorded information about the Yin-Yang Fish Pendant. I was afraid that this thing was something evil, so I suppressed it with the Bagua Stove. The location of the Bagua Stove is in the center of the bookshelf." They walked around the corpse and came to the center of the bookshelf square, here What is on display is exactly what the experts call the Bagua furnace.
This furnace cauldron is about two meters high. It looks like an alchemy furnace. It is shaped like a round-bellied narrow-mouth vat. There are eight cauldron legs distributed underground. Along the legs of the cauldron, there are eight dragons with winding tails that fit perfectly. The belly of the furnace cauldron just happened to gather all the heads at the mouth of the cauldron and bite the lid of the cauldron.
On top of it, there are different flag poles that rotate at any time, with talismans and seals carved out of brass. They are all hung on the flag poles. Every time they turn, the brass must make a crisp sound.
Yue Guanchao climbed up to the top of the shelf and looked at the furnace. The shape of the Bagua furnace was very exquisite. Since the Xuanshu Iron Coupon was suppressed by the Bagua furnace, it was estimated that the thing was in this furnace. Then, he pulled one of the furnace cover levers. Separating the faucet from the body, and seeing that they could indeed be opened, I felt relieved to lift the lid.
In the furnace, a red lacquered box was placed quietly inside. He used the grappling hook to take out the box, and when he opened it, he found something wrapped in yellow satin.
He handed the thing to Song Siyuan and opened the layered satin. What appeared inside was a black iron book. It must be the mysterious book iron coupon that John Hua was looking for.
If you look carefully, you will see that this mysterious book is only three to five inches long, about half a finger longer than the longest middle finger of a human being, and its shape is similar to a copper slip.
These pages are connected to each other. There are about seven or eight pieces. Viewed from the side, they are very thin and regular. Each page is about the width of a wrist. The material is similar to black iron, and the surface is frosted with paint. It looks like It does not reflect any metallic light, and there are only a few millimeters of gaps between the leaves. They are all connected by rotating shafts. There are also chains to bind the rotating shafts to ensure they are strong and durable and will not fall off or break.
She stretched out all the pages, which were only about the length of an arm, similar to a long memorial made of iron. There was nothing on the back, only the seal on the first page.
Four words: "Xuanshu Iron Coupon". If you look at it from the front, you can decipher the many words recorded in the iron book!
These words are not written in ink, and there is no relief process. They completely make use of the inlay characteristics of metal. However, all the words have been polished, and a layer of colored glass is attached to the polished area to give a frosted surface. The fractured gaps formed form a variety of words.
Under the illumination of a flashlight, these words exuded a cold metallic reflection, and because the glass bloomed with splendor, the radiance was very strange. The silver light carved words that they did not recognize at all, as mysterious as a heavenly book.
John Hua was impatient. He took the iron scroll of the mysterious book and looked at it carefully. The confusion gradually spread to his brows: "What kind of writing is this? Why have I never seen it before!" Not only the old foreign man, but also the people around him I have never seen them before. These words are not even in Chinese. They have radical strokes that are not Chinese at all. All the words are difficult to understand, let alone understand what they mean.
"What is the origin of this Xuan Shu Iron Coupon? It shouldn't be in Chinese!" Yue Guanchao asked. Up to now, they had only heard John Hua mention the Xuan Shu Iron Coupon. As for what the Xuan Shu Iron Coupon was, they had no idea about it. Nothing.
John Hua explained: "I only found out about the existence of Xuan Shu Iron Coupon in the Southern Song Dynasty treasure ship when I found the "Chronicle of the Southern Tour". As for why it appeared, I have no idea at all, and there was no mention of Xuan Shu Iron Coupon in the book. Where they come from, looking at it now, most of the things that can be written in foreign languages are from foreign races." Song Siyuan nodded to everyone and explained: "What you said is possible. I don't think these characters are in Chinese, and even the writing materials are not in Chinese. It has nothing to do with the Han style. It is possible that it is from a foreign nation. It was probably brought by the Jin general himself, or it might have been stored in the treasure ship of the Song Dynasty emperor, and was discovered by the Jin general and recorded in a book. There may also be treasures plundered along the way and obtained by accident.”
"Now, since you have got it, at least half of the success is achieved. As for how to uncover these mysterious words, I have no idea at all." Listening to Song Siyuan's words, John Hua's eyes flashed with curiosity: "If the mysterious book is iron The coupons were written by foreigners, so why are they written in Chinese on the front? Could it be that these things are also variants of Chinese, but we just don’t know?” Song Siyuan nodded: “It’s possible what you said. People in ancient times wanted to hide something. These secrets will indeed transform Chinese characters into other characters. As long as you find a certain pattern, you can know what these characters mean like decoding."
"I happen to have studied cryptography and have deciphered ancient texts. If you are willing, I can help you try to decipher it." John Hua calls himself Hua Wutong, and even others who don't know the characters can do so. He may not be able to figure it out, but he saw that the woman studying abroad had some real abilities, and nodded to them: "Okay, then you can try it, but I can't give you the original runes."
"It's simple. I'll just take the photo. You can also use your connections to see if you can interpret anything." John Hua felt relieved when he heard what she said. stand up.
"Mr. Hua, now that the Xuan Shu Iron Coupon has been found, should we go back home?" After Luo Shiniang finished speaking, Hua John took a look here: "Take all these ancient books back, maybe there are clues in them. ." Then, they called the people from the Qingchuan Club down, packed up all the ancient books, and then returned to the ground along the Robbery Cave.
After all this busy work, by the time they stood at the entrance of the cave, it was already blue in the morning, white fish bellies appeared in the east, the red sun climbed up to the clouds, and little bits of light appeared.
This time it was indeed dangerous. Yue Guanchao was almost entangled in the water by ancient clams several times. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have been hiding under the water now. Of course, these dangers were nothing compared to John Hua's thoughts. He knew that if it weren't for the Xuan Shu Iron Coin being incomprehensible and Song Siyuan still having some use, they wouldn't be able to get in at all.
If you think about it carefully, what Taoist Jin said about turning danger into good fortune is probably the Xuan Shu Iron Coupon. At present, Hua John and the others had collected all the equipment and buried the robbery hole before leaving Yugou Island by boat. They were also smoothly transported to Qingtong Inn by Luo Shiniang.
