Chapter 78: Symbols, Codes and Hints of Mystery

Professor Sun finished, stood up to back us toward the door, I thought this old man is really strange, just come in when not say good, how to say flip-flop on the flip-flop, listen to what he started to say, like already ready to tell us, but then don’t know where to look out for the identity of me and Dajinya, so become stern, may think that the two of us is a liar, is trying to come to him to blindfolded things.

According to my usual temperament, the words have been said to this point, no need to be whisked away, certainly is to stand up and go, but this time is not trivial, may be a matter of life and death, and in addition to Fatty and I, there may be related to the life and death of Professor Chen and Shirley Yang.

I said to Professor Sun: “Professor, Professor you also listen to me to say the last line okay, I also do not know how you smelled out of our body has the earth sycophantic gas, but I and this set of gold teeth, the two of us really is not dumping cultural relics, we had a long time, to the archaeological team working, Beijing’s Chen Jiuren, Prof. Chen, you have heard of it? We just follow him to work.”

Professor Sun heard me say Chen Jiuren’s name, slightly stunned, asked, “Old Chen? Are you saying that the two of you, are working in his archaeological team?”

I quickly nodded my head: “Yes, I think you two are the archaeological world of Tarzan Beidou, in our archaeological circle, mention your two old names, that whoever listens to who shall not be shocked a heel ……”

Professor Chen face slightly eased, waved his hand: “You kid do not pat my ass, I am what catty, their own clear, since you and the old Chen know, then you stay by yourself, so that the two of them to evade.”

As soon as I heard Professor Sun speak, it seemed like there was a door, so I let Dajinya and Old Man Liu leave first, leaving me alone to have a secret talk with Professor Sun.

After Dajinya and the others went out, Prof. Sun plugged the door shut and asked me something about Prof. Chen, so I told him briefly how I went with Prof. Chen and the others to search for the Ancient City of Jingjie in the Xinjiang desert.

Professor Sun heard, sighed and said: “I and old Chen is old acquaintance, the desert that accident, I also heard, alas, his old bones are not buried in the sand even if it is good, I want to go to Beijing to visit him, but I heard that he went to the United States to treat the disease, I do not know the life of the year, can not see him again, when the old Chen is in my favor, since you are his acquaintance, some things I won’t hide anything from you anymore.”

I waited for Prof. Sun’s words, and asked, “I think this bruise that suddenly grew on my back looks like an eyeball, it is related to the Jingjie Ancient City that we saw deep in the desert, those people from the Ghost Cave Clan of the Jingjie Kingdom worship the power of the eyeball, I think I am under some kind of curse, but I heard that it’s not an eyeball, it’s a word, so I would like to ask you to say what exactly the word means, and I would also like to know in my own mind. What exactly does it mean, so I can also prepare myself mentally, of course I’m also a person who has died seven or eight times, my personal safety and security, I’m not too important, but Professor Chen probably also appeared in this symptom, and I’m most worried about is his old man.”

Professor Sun said to me: “Not I refuse to tell you, these facts in fact can not be said, let you know instead of you do not help, but I can clearly tell you, you grow behind this mark, is by no means what a curse and other imaginary things, will not affect your health, you can rest assured that.”

The more I listen to the more anxious, this is not the same as nothing to say it, but Professor Sun said it is not a curse, this sentence let me reduce the psychological burden of a lot, but the more I can not say the more I want to know, thousands of years ago, the text of the information, to today, in the end, what can not be shown to people’s content, not to mention that the word has grown to my body.

In my repeated questions, Prof. Sun had to reveal some to me:

Professor Sun has been studying the monuments of the Yellow River basin for many years, and is an expert in ancient writing, specializing in deciphering and translating ancient secret texts.

In ancient times, Cangjie created words, the emergence of the text, the end of the barbaric history of mankind’s knot-rope record keeping, so that the text contains a lot of information, encompassing the mysteries of all things in nature, and passed on to the present day a total of four kinds of readings to go straight into the flat.

However, in the earliest times, in fact, there are eight kinds of pronunciation, which contains a large amount of information, ordinary people can not imagine, but these additional information, was monopolized by the ruling class, the other four kinds of pronunciation, became a kind of confidential language, specifically used to record some major events that can not let the ordinary people informed.

Later generations of unearthed some tortoise shells and brief documents, there are a lot of similar to the A ancient text of the ancient script, but no one has always been literate, some people say that the book of heaven has no words, wordless heavenly book, in fact, is a kind of distortion, the book of heavenly book is a kind of encrypted information in ancient times, there is a literal message, but if you will not decipher, even if it is in front of you, you can not read it, Prof. Sun’s life is devoted to these no one recognizes heavenly book to fight with, but progress Always not much, can be said to be difficult, poor their minds, but also did not study what results.

Until 1978, archaeologists in the Mi Cangshan, excavated a Tang Dynasty tomb, this tomb has been looted by many tomb robbers, robbing holes in six or seven, the body of the tomb owner has long been destroyed, the tomb room is also rotting and spoiled, most of the funerary objects have been stolen, the remaining almost all seriously corroded.

From all indications, the owner of the tomb should be the palace in charge of astronomy and calendar, as well as the yin and yang counting and other things of the Imperial Historian Li Chunfeng, the Tang Dynasty of science and technology, culture, economy and other fields is a peak in the history of Chinese civilization, as in the Tang Dynasty, a great reputation of a famous “scientists” Li Chunfeng, his tomb should be a lot of very important artifacts and information of research value. Research value of the important artifacts and information, but unfortunately were destroyed, which can not be said to be a great loss, all the archaeologists at the scene are incredibly sorry.

However, the cleanup work still has to continue, however, with the deepening of the cleanup work, a huge surprise appeared in the rotten coffin, archaeologists in the head of the owner of the tomb found a sandwich in the coffin board.

The top of the coffin even has a sandwich, this is no one expected beforehand, even the most experienced experts, has never seen the coffin board has a sandwich, the crowd carefully open the coffin board sandwich, there is a cowhide parcel inside, after opening there is a tarpaulin and lacquer wrapped in an object, it is a white jade flawless jade box, the jade box all over the body of the gilded her silver, the stone box is engraved with the winged spirit beasts, the box on the lid of the lock is pure gold! The lock on the lid was made of pure gold.

Because it was hidden in the interlayer of the coffin board, it was able to escape the looting of grave robbers for so many years and has been preserved to this day.

Experienced experts knew at a glance that it was a royal item of the Tang Dynasty, probably rewarded by the emperor to Li Chunfeng, and placed in such a secretive layer of the coffin boards, the importance of which can be imagined, and immediately sent the jade box back to the home base of the Archaeological Working Group.

In the box made of whole piece of sheepskin jade, found a lot of important items, including a piece of dragon bone (some kind of tortoise shell), engraved with “heavenly books”, named “dragon bone is the spectrum of the text”, and another side of the pure gold plate, the gold plate is not big, the corners caused by the shape of the beast’s head, the front and back sides are densely packed, the first and second sides are very thick, the first and second sides are very thick, the second side is very thick, the first and second sides are very thick. Front and back of the dense casting of a lot of text, seems to be a form, some of the words above recognized, some can not be recognized, then was named “animal horn fan text gold plate”.

So we asked the expert in ancient writing, such as Professor Sun, responsible for cracking this piece of dragon bone and the secrets of the gold plate, Professor Sun received this task, locked himself in the research room, began the work of sleep and food.

This kind of “Dragon Bone is a spectrum” Professor Sun has seen many times, above the ancient characters, close your eyes can remember, but can never analyze these exactly what the text, what is the meaning of its content, with this strange text recorded content and what is it?

This so-called “Book of Heaven” is a hurdle faced by researchers of ancient Chinese characters, over which there is no progress, and once there is a breakthrough, the rest of the problems can be solved, but this obstacle is too big.

Some scholars believe that the “Book of Heaven” is a civilization that has disappeared left behind the text, but this argument does not break down, because some of the “Book of Heaven” with the excavation of the ancient script, it is easy to decipher the carbon 14 test belongs to the same period of the Yinshang, should be the product of the same period, is not what the The product of the same period, is by no means the remains of any prehistoric civilization.

Prof. Sun after a whole month of repeated research, finally solved the “mystery of the book of heaven”, through the comparison of Li Chunfeng’s tomb unearthed in the “animal horn fan text gold plate”, found that the original ancient people with the “Book of Heaven “on the keel record, is a kind of encrypted text.

As early as in the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng has cracked this ancient encrypted text, in order to recognize his meritorious service, the emperor special casting gold medal rewarded to Li Chunfeng to commemorate this matter, this gold medal on the words and symbols, that is, Li Chunfeng deciphered the heavenly book of the cross-reference table.

In fact, the Book of Heaven is very simple, it is annotated with the phonetic symbols of the most four secret sounds, rather than engraved on the keel in words, but only a few people who can read these secret pronunciations will be able to understand the content of the text.

Li Chunfeng was inspired by the “Detailed Examination of the Eight Classics”, and thus found a way to understand the mysteries of heaven and crack the mystery of the heavenly book. Prof. Sun was inspired by this piece of “Beast’s Horn Mystery Text Gold Plate” and realized how to decipher the Book of Heaven, which caused a subversive sensation in the archaeological world. A large number of ancient confidential texts were deciphered, and a lot of information was dazzling, and a lot of history that had already been finalized would also be rewritten.

Taking into account a variety of factors, the superior leadership of Professor Sun decrypted out of the information, made the following instructions: hold a prudent attitude towards, before there is a definitive conclusion, not to the outside world for the time being announced.

Professor Sun said to me: “This trace behind you, say it is an ancient plus secret text, is not appropriate, this word is not the word in the book of heaven, I also saw this symbol on the tortoise shell unearthed in Gutian, it symbolizes a particular thing, people at that time do not have an accurate word to describe it, I would like to call it a figure of speech, more appropriate, figure of speech is a symbolic Symbol, but the meaning of this symbol is still unclear to me, it is interspersed in the encrypted text of the heavenly book appeared in the dragon armor unearthed in Gutian, one of the contents of the heavenly book, it seems to be a record of a plague, due to the just unearthed, time is running out, I also just a cursory look, I haven’t had time to analyze the meaning of this symbol is actually what I didn’t expect in the way back to transport the military aircraft crashed crash I didn’t realize that on the way back, the military plane crashed, and I’m afraid those secrets will never be known.”

I asked Prof. Sun: “Such an important thing, didn’t you leave a topography and other records? Although you think that the growth on my back is not a curse, I still feel that this is too strange, if I don’t know the details, I can’t feel at ease. Tell me, what is the content of the text recorded in the bone armor? Is it related to the ghost caves in Xinjiang? I promise Chairman Mao that I will never leak half a word.”

Professor Sun nervously stood up suddenly, “You can’t say it, once you say it, it will be shocking.”
