Chapter 304: Deciphering the Mystery

The night is vast, like ink and dye, the invisible jade bone boat is flying in the sky, and the Jiajia Village behind it is getting further and further away.

Gu Xuan lay flat on the board of the boat, with his head resting on the side of the boat. He held a jar of Five Poisons wine in his left hand and took a sip from time to time.

The scroll taken from Jiajia Village was spread out next to it, and the treasure-hunting rat lay on the scroll.

"Is this scroll a treasure?"

"Squeak!"

Hearing Gu Xuan ask again, the treasure hunter shook his head firmly.

Gu Xuan gently lifted the wine jar, made a gurgling sound, and the gray-black wine flowed down his throat, with a slightly bitter taste, and sighed: "The wooden shaft is not hollow, and the cloth roll has no interlayer. Maybe it is just an ordinary scroll."

Wang Mang said: "I have been observing for a long time and found something fishy."

These words were like rain on a dry field. Gu Xuan's expression perked up, he straightened his upper body and sat cross-legged with his knees bent: "Senior, what have you discovered?"

Wang Mang asked: "When do you think the portrait of Emperor Sheng was painted?"

Gu Xuanluo thought about it: "If the Taoist seedlings of Webster wanted to escape to Nanyang, they must be protected by one or more monks along the way. This scroll was only made after the establishment of Jiajia Village. Because the identity was sensitive and should not be exposed, ordinary materials were used.

And simplify the grand image.”

Wang Mang said slowly: "When the Wei family Taoist seedlings escaped, they were indeed led by a pair of Gangli realm Taoist couples. The male cultivator later became the first clan leader, and Wei Sha was the second. If it is as you said, the royal family's children painted the portrait of the Sheng Emperor.

, must be in awe, but this painting was done hastily and hastily.”

"Oh?" Gu Xuan rubbed the wine jar and narrowed his eyes slightly, "I am a mess in writing, and I know nothing about painting. My predecessors are very good at playing chess. I want to be proficient in painting, and what I said is true. Only Daomiao is eager to escape and paints temporarily, so he can do it.

The pen is written in a hurry, but this cannot explain the value of the scroll."

Seeing Gu Xuan stop talking, Wang Mang said: "I came from a scholarly family in my early years. I am proficient in playing chess, calligraphy and painting."

Gu Xuan continued: "As far as I know, although most secular villages have the same surname, they rarely build ancestral halls and mostly hang portraits of their ancestors at home. The first patriarch must have fully considered the future of Daomiao. In view of his special status, he established the

The ancestral hall is dedicated to worshiping the prosperous emperor. Those who are qualified to paint images of the prosperous emperor must have a noble status. The first clan leader only cultivated in the Gangli realm, so he thought his status was not high, so he hired someone to paint temporarily. "

Wang Mang said: "This inference is reasonable and reasonable, but in addition to the strokes, there are also problems with the ink and brush strokes of this painting. You should use your mind to examine it for a long time."

Gu Xuan quickly used his telekinesis, and after a full quarter of an hour, he said in surprise: "The pen and ink looked black at first glance, but when I continued to use telekinesis, it turned into black with red!"

"That's right." Wang Mang's voice was high, "If it is only used to worship ancestors, ordinary brush and ink will be enough. Even though the painter has a distinguished status and uses brush and ink in the spiritual world, I have never seen or heard of such brush and ink."

"So, the ink is the secret of this painting!" Gu Xuan took a sip of strong wine, his eyes bright, "Because the material is ordinary, it becomes an ordinary thing in the treasure hunter's senses."

"Based on this premise, let's make some inferences." Wang Mang said, "With yellow coarse cloth as a roll, it is not easy to be damaged. Apart from portraits, what other mysteries can there be on the roll?"

"Words." Gu Xuan blurted out, "Hidden words!"

"It's very possible." Wang Mang agreed. "I'm only worried about one thing. The words hidden on the scroll are probably an explanation of Webster's life experience. Webster's luck was cut off. If his descendants don't have monks, they must need some way.

, learn the origin of life."

"If that's all, it can be passed down orally by Muramasa, or recorded in paper books in code." Gu Xuan objected, frowning and thinking, "The most urgent thing is,

How to decipher the mystery of pen and ink."

"This is very true." Wang Mang turned and sighed, "With your status, since you have obtained this thing, I am more willing to believe that the hidden text is related to the great catastrophe."

Gu Xuan suddenly thought of the ape skin that recorded "Weeping Blood Escape": "Hiding the words on the scroll is just to prevent outsiders from knowing that the Webster bloodline is probably the key. If the blood of the descendants of Webster is used to smear the scroll, what would senior think?"

"This is feasible." Wang Mang then added, "It would be best to use the blood of Brother Wei and go back to find Wei Shan."

Gu Xuan used his telekinesis to move the invisible jade bone boat forward at full speed. He then touched the head of the treasure-hunting rat and said, "Brother Rat, this scroll is a treasure. You got it wrong."

"Zhizhizhi?" The treasure hunter stared at the scroll, confused.



The invisible jade bone boat flew straight to Jingcheng without stopping on the way.

"Wei Shan is still in the west wing bedroom, there is no one else in the house."

The jade bone boat appeared in the darkness of the house. Gu Xuan, wearing a Ruyi mask, walked to the west wing, gently pushed open the bedroom door, stepped in, and closed the door behind his back.

Wei Shan was still tied up with hemp rope, with a binding amulet attached to his body.

Gu Xuan stood in front of the bed, just like he did that day, without making a sound, he took off the binding talisman in one fell swoop, made a hand seal, and clicked out the spell patterns.

When Wei Shan saw Gu Xuan, his expression was no longer frightened, but instead very calm, somewhat resigned to his fate.

As the subtle golden light continued to sink into the Yintang point, Wei Shan's expression gradually became confused, and finally became completely dull.

Gu Xuan stopped kneading, untied the hemp rope, and casually ordered: "Sit down."

"Yes, Master."

Wei Shan responded dully, stood up quickly, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Gu Xuan took out a bunch of scrolls and slowly unfolded them, revealing a picture on the scroll: "Can you recognize this thing?"

Wei Shan looked at the scroll: "This is the portrait of Emperor Sheng, hanging in the ancestral hall of Jiajia Village."

Gu Xuan ordered: "Squeeze out a drop of blood and drop it on the portrait."

"yes."

Wei Shan stretched out his right hand and scratched his finger with his nail. A drop of blood quickly fell on the portrait and spread slowly.

Gu Xuan quickly observed the blood stains, but there was no change on the scroll surface, and then he used his telekinesis, and the same thing happened.

Wang Mang said: "I can't detect anything abnormal with my telekinesis, and I guess the same goes for your telekinesis. I'll ask Wei Shan to try it with his telekinesis."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's order, Wei Shan used his telekinesis and responded immediately: "Master, there are words hidden in the blood stains on the roll."

Wang Mang was overjoyed: "Haha, it's true. Since it requires mind power to read, the content of the text must be no small matter."

Gu Xuan's face showed joy. After thinking for a moment, he took out a small jade bottle and poured out a low-grade blood-tonifying pill: "Take this pill quickly and squeeze out the blood, dripping it all over the roll."

"yes."

Wei Shan took the blood-tonifying pill, threw it directly into his mouth, and immediately followed the order.

Gu Xuan was not idle. He took out an empty book and the Four Treasures of the Study from his storage bag, placed them all on the table, and then fetched water and grinded the ink himself.

When Gu Xuan finished grinding the ink, the entire scroll was stained red with blood, and Wei Shan's face turned extremely pale.

Seeing this, Gu Xuan quickly took out two blood-enhancing pills and a health-preserving pill, gave them to Wei Shan, and then asked: "How many words are there on the scroll?"

Wei Shan's expression improved, and he said weakly: "There are large seal characters on the scroll, the size of a fly's head, and they are densely packed."

Gu Xuan ordered: "

Write these words out and don’t miss them.”

Wei Shan sat on the wooden chair, picked up his writing brush, and slowly wrote the three seal characters "Yu Yun Jing" on the cover of the book.

Wang Mang secretly sighed: "Just by looking at this name, I can guess a thing or two. This is obviously a supreme Taoist scripture that explains how to establish a dynasty and control the group of cultivators. It is indeed a great harvest for you to talk about it."

Watching Wei Shan turn the pages and write, Gu Xuan's expression changed: "Senior, please speak clearly."

Wang Mang chuckled: "I will explain it to you in detail after reading the contents of the Taoist Scriptures."

Due to his weak health, Wei Shan wrote very slowly. When he finished writing, there was still less than half of the entire book.

Gu Xuan secretly said: "Senior's words are true. Since the Yu Yun Sutra is the Dao Sutra of the Upper Realm, its value can be imagined."

Wang Mang said solemnly: "I can't keep you here. I'll tell you in detail on the way."

Gu Xuan nodded, flicked his sleeves, and several golden beams shot out, killing Wei Shan suddenly.

After solemnly putting away the books and the Four Treasures of the Study, Gu Xuan immediately set fire to the corpse, including the scrolls.

When the fire went out, Gu Xuan took out the jade bone boat and left quietly.



The invisible jade bone boat flew slowly, Gu Xuan drank in silence, and Wang Mang's voice kept echoing in his dantian.

"The method of establishing a dynasty has always been secret, and it is difficult for outsiders to know it. I traveled to Nanyang and heard about the Jiang Dynasty in Zhuhu Island. I wanted to establish a dynasty, but because I couldn't find the method, I had to establish a dynasty in the end. You

Being able to obtain the Royal Luck Sutra is by no means a simple coincidence."

"According to the ancient Taoist books, a new dynasty can be born in 70% of the small tribulations, and the founders of the dynasty are all victims of the tribulation, without exception. As a tribulation survivor, you have also obtained the Yun Yu Sutra.

In the future, I am afraid that a dynasty will have to be established to resolve this catastrophe."

Gu Xuan solemnly said: "Senior's inferences about the catastrophe have been accurate several times before and after. In this case, I will establish the dynasty as my greatest wish."

"That's very good. A true man should cut off what he has to do, not to mention that you are the one who should suffer the calamity." Wang Mang praised, "The great catastrophe has already occurred. Once you set your best intention, you can correct your future behavior."

Gu Xuan suddenly thought of something: "Senior proposed that all four demon servants go to the Western Wasteland to practice. Could it be that he was already planning for this?"

The demon servant was Gu Xuan's servant at Ximen Villa back then. Later, after testing on the Taoist disk, all four of them had magic cores.

"That's true." Wang Mang chuckled, "Because you just advanced to the Gangli realm that year, your cultivation level was too low, your knowledge was limited, and you didn't show any signs of establishing a dynasty, I didn't say it clearly."

"Senior has a strong mind and foresight, and I admire him." These are Gu Xuan's heartfelt words, "If you really want to talk about it, senior is also the key to resolving the catastrophe."

Wang Mang solemnly said: "Ever since I failed to seize the body, our fates have been intertwined. How dare we not do our part?"

Gu Xuan said back to the main story: "According to the Yu Yun Sutra, the key to establishing the dynasty is to refine the Imperial Seal and the Imperial God List. The materials are rare in the world and require opportunity."

Wang Mang suggested: "Those who have to deal with the calamity have a long way to go. There is no need to rush this matter. They need to work step by step. The top priority is to improve their strength and gain more benefits in the secret realm of Yinxu."

Gu Xuan nodded: "What the seniors said is true. Long-term vision can never be achieved overnight."

Wang Mang said: "One thing is, it is best to find out why the Nanyang Taoist people let Daluo League go."
