Chapter 84 Words and History
The place where Zhao Chenlu pointed out was a jade seal held by a woman's hands. The style was simple but had an extraordinary meaning.
That is the private seal of the Holy Sect Master.
Generally speaking, this kind of private seal is not used much. In the ruling pattern of Xiangzhou continent, the Holy Sect is already in a transcendent position. The limited staff in Wanxiang Garden is not enough to manage the entire continent, so most of the practice is left to the dedicated personnel of the Third Court, and those dedicated personnel will further provide specialized services to the seventh-generation family and major sects. On this basis, there are only a handful of major issues that need to alarm the sect leader. Even if the sect leader comes forward, there are mostly verbal instructions, and there are very few places to use written seals. Moreover, even if the seal is used, the sect seals of the sect leader are mostly used, rather than the private seals of the sect leader.
Therefore, Zhao Chenlu has always known that the past sect leader would have a private seal of his own. The style is similar to the sect seal, and it is slightly smaller in size, but he has never really seen the real thing. Now when he sees it, he is shocked.
"Imilae...how could this happen!?"
While speaking, Zhao Chenlu couldn't help but reach out and grabbed the seal, but her wrist was blocked by a heavy blunt sword energy in the air.
"Don't touch it randomly, there is no time and space anchor on the seal, and you cannot withstand the touch of external objects."
Zhao Chenlu let out a long sigh, calmed down for a moment, realized that she was a little too hasty, and asked, "Dear, I read it right? Is it 'Imilae'?"
"That's right, the pattern on it is very standard..." Wang Jiu paused for a long time before saying, "Demonic Text."
Demonic text, Demonic text.
As a powerful civilization that roams all over the world, the demon clan naturally has its own writing system, and it is very similar to the writing of the Jiuzhou Continent. It is hieroglyphic, but the complexity is much higher. It was not until the late stage of the Immortal and Demon War that the humans in Jiuzhou barely cracked the writing system of the demon clan. Wang Jiu and Zhao Chenlu were the experts in deciphering the demon clan at that time.
Demon civilization has many similarities with human civilization, and individual naming is one of them. Many races do not have individual names.
The demon race not only has individual names, but also has unique individual names at the level of the demon general. For example, the demon race named "Arabati Ahdor" mostly has magical powers such as corrosion and burning, while the demon race named "Had" is mostly good at physical attacks such as tearing, puncture and other physical attacks. However, the specific internal connection, even professionals such as the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, were just a first look at the way. Until the end of the war, he and the Nine Immortal Lord only initially deciphered the reading and writing rules of the demon text, and the deeper rules are still in the stage of exploration.
Imilae, according to Wang Jiu's memory, although it is a standard magic text, it is a very awkward magic text, as if it is a wrong sentence that forces two unrelated contents to be combined together... But the grammar problem is not the key at this time. The key is why the text that should have disappeared permanently with the demon clan, appeared in the private seal of the Holy Sect Master!?
"It shouldn't be... kidding." Zhao Chenlu's voice was a little dry, "It would be fine if it were someone else, but the Holy Sect had a slight understanding of the battle between immortals and demons back then. They explored the most ancient ruins and mastered the most comprehensive historical materials. They would never make a fuss about the issue of the demons. Moreover, the material of this chapter is red jade, a special product of Wanxiangyuan. It was a unique substance formed by the white jade mountain in Jiuzhou that year, and was stained with blood and wandering in the chaos for thousands of years. It is very rare, and I will not admit my mistake."
The material is not wrong, which means that the name of the sect leader is authentic and certified by the sect leader, but the text of the demon clan is engraved on it, which means...
"Is it possible that it was tampered with by later generations... impossible." Zhao Chenlu denied the answer by himself, "This kind of red jade has very special physical characteristics. A red jade can only be processed once. Once it is subjected to secondary processing, it will be crushed immediately. Therefore, the words on the name and seal cannot be tampered with by later generations. What's more, who else on the Xiangzhou continent can write magical texts now? By the way, this magical text is really standard. According to the aesthetics of the demon race, calligraphy may be better than mine."
Speaking of this, Zhao Chen's face was already ashen.
Among the Nine Immortals, her magical calligraphy is second only to Lu Jintong, and even Lu Jintong, who is best at magical writing, cannot write such a standard magical writing.
The writing of the magic text is not only about outlining lines, but also about having an extremely profound insight and understanding of the laws within the demon clan. In this regard, Lu Jintong is far superior to others and is only inferior to the divine sword outside the sky. Although the insight ability of the divine sword outside the sky is arrogant, his calligraphy talent is really sad...
But no matter what, if even the Nine Immortal Lord can't write such a standard magical text, that is to say...
Thinking of this, Zhao Chenlu was so creepy.
It's really a ghost.
It is too incredible to say that the Holy Sect and the Demon Clan colluded with each other. First, Wang Jiu himself lived in Wanxiangyuan. He had long suspected that there was something wrong with the Holy Sect and used the Demon Sword many times to find connections with the Demon Clan, but every test showed the innocence of the Holy Sect. Secondly, the sect leader trained Wang Jiu as the next sect leader, and the cost he paid during this period was absolutely false. If the Holy Sect really had an affair with the Demon Clan, how dare he regard the demon nemesis as the leader in a pride?
What's more... Zhao Chenlu has dealt with the Holy Sect a lot over the past few decades. As one of the Nine Immortal Lords back then, she didn't think she would be so slow that she knew nothing about the demons that were so close. If the Holy Sect really colluded with the demons, she would have had the insight long ago before she could wake up from the divine sword outside the sky!
At this time, Wang Jiu said, "Try to think about other possibilities. Excessive association will only disturb people. What we see is only a famous seal carved with magical texts. As for all other conclusions, they are just our own interpretation."
Zhao Chenlu nodded: "I understand, then, is there any other possibility to rule out the most unlikely option? For example, although the magic text on this seal is a standard magic handwriting, the processing seal can be carried out by engraving and other methods. It may not be hand-carved by the demon race. It may also be that this pervert in women's clothing saw the text left by the demon race when he was young. He thought the pattern was very beautiful, so he was engraved on the seal..."
Wang Jiu asked: "Embroider the ghost painting talisman that does not understand its meaning on the red jade seal symbolizing the identity of the sect leader?"
"...Anyway, I may not be able to use it several times in my life. Besides him, who else knows what he engraved on the seal of the name?" Speaking of this, Zhao Chenlu seemed to have inspired him and added, "After being absorbed into the sect, the leader of the Holy Sect must abandon everything he had before to avoid personal affairs and interfering with official affairs, including her former name. So is this a kind of vengeful mentality of throwing away her revenge? If the Holy Sect wants her to abandon her former name, she simply chooses a ridiculous current name to retaliate against society..."
Wang Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, so it's best to find other sect leaders to compare and confirm the situation, so that this is her personal behavior or there are other problems... Do you know the name of the current sect leader?"
Zhao Chenlu shrugged: "I don't know, I've always called him an old man... But then again, I really can't think of the real names of the sect leader of the Holy Sect. Generally speaking, if they formally take office, they will abandon their former names, and then be called the sect leader, and rarely call them by their names. In the past, I thought this was the Holy Sect's atmosphere to highlight its own status and create a 'only sect leader'. Now, it's really strange here."
Wang Jiu thought about it, but was unable to get the point and shook his head: "Since that's the case, I can only contact the person involved to confirm the situation."
Afterwards, the two returned to the shore from the deep sea area of the Nether Sea.
The turbulence of time and space that trapped the inspection team three hundred years ago into a desperate situation completely failed to hinder the return of the two. They rode the wind and waves all the way, and soon saw the golden beach and a white tower that had begun to take shape on the beach. Several monks from Qinglian Academy who were good at civil engineering were using their fingers together, commanding a group of strong line-raising puppets to contribute to the tower.
Most of the other monks collected samples of sea water, sand grains and marine life on the beach. Although this team was temporarily named by Wang Jiu, they had already shown order and very high research efficiency at this time.
On the white tower roof, the monks responsible for measuring the wind direction and sunlight first saw Wang Jiu and Zhao Chenlu, with a surprised expression on their faces, and asked softly: "Dean, are you back so soon? Are you getting anything?"
Zhao Chenlu glanced at Wang Jiu, and saw that he had no objection, she smiled and said, "It's beyond imagination."
The monk's pupils immediately contracted, his nostrils opened, his blood circulation accelerated, and even his lower body tended to be congested.
"Super, beyond imagination? Can we see the sample?" said, while his throat kept rolling and swallowing.
Seeing this, Zhao Chenlu couldn't help but smile, looked at Wang Jiu, and saw the same gaze in the other party's eyes.
The woman was slightly trapped in memories. In the Jiuzhou era, Concubine Shang Lan always surrounded her a group of madmen who regarded research as her lifelong interest and even sexual interest. Even the charm of the No. 1 beauty in Jiuzhou could not shake them. These people had physical and psychological distortions, but they actually pushed the civilization of the entire Jiuzhou forward.
Today, Xiangzhou Continent has also nurtured the same research madman, and the samples collected in the Netherworld Sea this time are suitable for them to practice their skills.
So, after seeking Wang Jiu's consent, Zhao Chenlu handed a bottle of silver-white powder and a carefully cut piece of jade to the monks in the academy.
"Take it and analyze it. Give us the results in a week and see how much you can do."
As expected, the samples collected by Wang Jiu and Zhao Chenlu in the depths of the Netherworld Sea caused the monks in the academy to be in a boil.
The mysterious silver that was completely decayed after being washed by the disordered space and time, and the jade that blessed the anchor of space and time are all miracles that exceed the existing theory of immortality.
This miracle thing that transcends the existing theoretical framework means that once they are parsed out, they can comprehensively innovate existing theories and advance civilization. And everyone as promoters will be famous in history.
For the people of Qinglian Academy, the attraction of the famous history is not very high to write history books to a group of mediocre and stupid people? However, breaking through the existing theoretical framework and opening up a new world of research is a more attractive temptation than anything else.
The difficulty of this research project is just around the limit of their ability. The inspection teams three hundred years ago were able to break through the limit in desperate situations and find a way to make time and space anchors. Today's Qinglian Academy can naturally do the same thing.
However, compared to the study of time and space and swordsmanship, what Wang Jiu cares more about is naturally the demonic text Imilae on the Sect Master's name.
When the Netherworld Sea returned to the coast, Tianwai Jianling began to have a bad premonition in his heart, as if he had fallen into a huge trap.
Things were too abnormal and too coincidental.
But after he self-destructed the Demon Sword, he found the seal with the Demonic Text. In Wang Jiu's eyes, the seal looked like a key, and was about to open a terrifying door. After losing the Demon Sword, Wang Jiu could no longer be as comfortable as before.
But reflecting on the previous decision, Wang Jiu did not think that there was anything wrong with destroying the Demon Sword. He had clearly felt that there might be clues related to the Demon Clan, but the Demon Sword could not give a result several times. It would be better if you don't want such a sword. In fact, when the Demon Sword was crushed to pieces, he never pointed out the demon seal in the captain's room to Wang Jiu.
Although rationally analyzing, all this can be explained reasonably. The demonic text on the seal is indeed a special ghost painting talisman. The person who engraved the seal has nothing to do with the demon clan, and he does not understand the power law of the demon clan. The demonic text engraved in this way may indeed not trigger a reaction to the demon sword...
But compared to this far-fetched explanation, Wang Jiu would rather believe that there is a deeper causal connection behind things.
And now the only clue he can find is the current sect leader.
Qinglian Academy, Netherworld Sea Temporary Beach Research Institute. Wang Jiu used the Qinglian Wanxiang Picture to contact the sect leader.
On the scroll, the figure of the sect leader suddenly appeared, and when the old man saw Wang Jiu, his eyebrows slightly raised and he said in surprise.
"Oh? You and Zhao Chenlu have completed the sampling? The efficiency is so high."
The sect leader's voice sounded relaxed and comfortable, as always, without the airs of the sect leader of the Holy Sect.
But Wang Jiu could no longer face him as easily as before.
When facing people and things related to the demon race, the Heavenly Divine Sword never feels relaxed.
So the sword spirit responded to the sect leader with a serious and clear look, and then asked, "Can you let me see your private chapter?"
"Private seal?" The sect leader was stunned by the unfinished request, "It's OK, I'll look for it later."
After saying that, the old man's figure disappeared from the picture of the Qinglian Ten Thousand Phases, leaving only a slight distance sound still coming.
"I rarely use that seal, so I don't carry it with me. The last time I used it was before the New Year... So I want to rummaged through the box. But, what do you want to see if that thing is for? What did you find in Nether Sea?"
Zhao Chenlu pondered aside for a moment and responded: "We found Imilae."
"Imilae?" The voice in the Qinglian Wanxiangtu paused for a moment, and then repeated the four syllables in a long tone. "Imilae, Imila, I feel a little familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere... Wait, are you confused?!"
Finally, the sect leader read out the four syllables in a strange tone, and then his figure reappeared on the Qinglian Wanxiang Picture.
At this time, the old man's face turned slightly red and showed a high degree of excitement.
"Did you find that inspection team?"
Wang Jiu asked back: "So, do you know what Imilae is?"
"It is the holy name of the 29th Sect Master." The sect master said, "When every sect master ascended the throne, he must lock the holy pattern from the Mitian Scroll as his name of the Sect Master, that is, the holy name. However, the holy pattern in the Mitian Scroll has actually been lost for a long time. We all rely on the Executed Book of Mitian Scroll to barely imitate the pronunciation. According to the pronunciation marked in the Executed Book, the 29th Sect Master's holy name is... Forget it, I can't read it well, you can just know it."
After hearing this, Wang Jiu and Zhao Chenlu had already thunder rolling in their hearts.
Why is there such a setting!?
Zhao Chenlu took the lead in attacking: "What the hell is the holy name? Why have I never heard you talk about it?!"
The sect leader said, "Is it very important? For Wanxiangyuan, the holy name is just an inexplicable tradition left in the early years. Our descendants do it according to inertia, but in fact it has no actual influence. Starting from the first generation of sect leader, the secrets of these holy patterns have been completely lost. Later generations can only rely on the far-fetched pronunciation of the book of understanding. Although everyone will name themselves according to the rules, we will never use this name. Instead, it is the abandoned former name, and occasionally it will be used for use."
Wang Jiu and Zhao Chenlu looked at each other, pondered for a while, and accepted the explanation together.
Because this is also the only reasonable explanation, the sect leader knows nothing about the magic text, and even the pronunciation is indicated by the phonetic symbols in the book of "Explanation", so it is no wonder that he never caused the reaction of the magic sword.
But the problem is the mystery.
"Mi Tian Scroll? It's not a prehistoric holy object. It's just a written record left by the first sect leader, nor is it a mysterious magical power. Since the Mi Tian Scroll was written, it was always placed in the column of the sect rules, which belongs to a rule that restricts the words and deeds of the Holy Sect. But the Holy Sect never stubbornly adheres to inappropriate rules. Over the years, even the general outline of the Holy Sect has been revised many times. The importance of the Mi Tian Scroll is almost at the bottom of all the files, so I really can't think of any problem here... I know about Mi Tian Scroll. Look, this is my private chapter. According to the phonetic symbol of the Book of Executing, my holy name should be Ali Hong Anaya..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Chenlu couldn't help laughing out loud. After a while, he calmed down and corrected: "It's Ali Hongonayiya, which means raw meat. How could you choose this name?"
The sect leader looked ache: "How do I know what the Holy Pattern means? At that time, I chose the name of the former sect leader, so I closed my eyes and opened the Misty Scroll. I chose two holy patterns from above. I know how you interpreted it like this? What exactly is this holy pattern? Is it the dialect of the Jiuzhou era?"
"Dialect...haha, it's a bit similar." Zhao Chenlu's laughter became colder, "This is the language of the demons."
In an instant, the room was silent. The picture of the green lotus suddenly rolled up and unfolded after a while, but no sound or image of the sect leader was transmitted.
Zhao Chenlu waited for a while and said, "Why, have you finished digesting it? If you don't say anything, we will think you are running away for fear of sin."
"I'm here, digesting... Of course I can't digest it all. What you said is really bizarre. With my vision and brain power, I can't understand it at all, so I really have nothing to say."
Zhao Chenlu asked, "Do you doubt it?"
"Of course I doubt it, because there are too many things that don't make sense. Besides, the sword spirit used the magic sword in Wanxiangyuan. Why didn't there any reaction at that time? Now, the Mitian Scroll records the words of the demon clan. The holy names that our Holy Sect has inherited for two thousand years are all the names of the demon clan. How could I not doubt it? I would even rather doubt the identities of you two than shake my belief in the two thousand years of inheritance of the Holy Sect."
Zhao Chenlu asked again: "Then which side do you plan to choose?"
The sect leader said: "I don't choose any side. Now things are far from being revealed. There are so many mysteries that have not been solved. I can't choose the side at will. You said that the mystery volume records the magic text, and there must always be evidence."
Zhao Chenlu smiled and said, "The demon clan has been exterminated for ten thousand years. Now the only two of us can interpret the demon text in the world. What evidence do you think you need to prove all this?"
"At least give me a logical explanation, why our founders left the text of the demons and included them in the rules. Their innocence is confirmed by you, so why did innocent people leave the text of the demons?"
Zhao Chenlu couldn't help Wang Jiu answer this question.
Chapter completed!
