Chapter 47 Asking the Heavenly Clue to Hidden Stele
The 910th floor, the 930th floor, the 950th floor, and the 970th floor, as the number of floors gets higher and higher, there are fewer and fewer wooden shelves. The growing gloom in the floor made Elder Ming Zong's back sweat involuntarily.
No, still not, he still couldn't find any information related to Zheng Qiu's strange ability.
Counting with fingers, it is now the 979th floor, not much left from the top floor. Could it be that the answer cannot be found in the Tiange? Elder Ming Zong sighed and decided to finish the remaining floors.
When his eyes moved to the stairs, two words jumped into his sight, vegetation and vitality.
He turned back and took a closer look, and found that this sentence read: "The grass and trees are withered, the earth is dead and the mountains are barren, and where the spirit reaches, vitality will emerge."
Elder Ming Zong repeated this sentence over and over, trying to figure out what it meant. The grass and trees are dead and lose their vitality, and then they regain their vitality. That's right, isn't this the same as the sprouting of roasted seeds?
Elder Ming Zong's eyes brightened instantly, and he looked up at the thing placed on the wooden shelf, which was a stone tablet.
The age of the stele should be very old. Its surface is covered with cobweb-shaped cracks. In some places, the cracks cross the surface of the stele, which are so big that they can be stuffed with fingers. Lines of characters are engraved on the front of the stele. The characters are round and not like the characters commonly used today, but the content can barely be read.
The stele seems to have experienced years of wind and sun, and a thick layer of rock on the surface has been scraped off. This made the text near the bottom of the stele quite blurry, and the bottom has been completely smoothed out. I don't know if there are any missing sentences at this position.
Elder Ming Zong raised the lampstand high, so that the light from the lamp stone illuminated the whole stele. The first sentence on the top of the stele reads: "Heaven and earth have spirits, which are invisible."
He continued to look down, strange, what about the next sentence? Why did it suddenly write: "Consolidating the foundation and keeping the heart..." are two sentences that are invisible and strengthening the foundation and keeping the heart. No matter how you look at it, they can't be connected together.
Elder Ming Zong checked the writing on the stele up and down, and found that the lines of writing were not arranged in order, but that the left and right sentences were completely irregular. It looked like a writer who wrote whatever came to his mind.
This will be troublesome, the sentences are irregular, and the words are not easy to recognize. If you try to splice sentence by sentence, there will definitely be mistakes. What to do, what to do, Elder Ming Zong circled back and forth in front of the stele.
After a while, he made up his mind that since he couldn't understand it now, he could just memorize it by rote. He memorized the words above, and went back and copied them on paper and spelled them out slowly. Thinking of this, he twisted his neck to move his muscles and bones, stared at the content on the stone tablet and began to recite.
After an unknown amount of time, Elder Ming Zong finally memorized all the words on the stone tablet. He took a deep breath, raised his arms and leaned back, loosening his stiff back.
The process of going downstairs was easier than going upstairs. When he walked out of the gate of Wentian Pavilion, he found that it was already dark outside.
There was silence, only the faint chirping of insects could be heard, and a woman's voice suddenly came from behind, making Elder Ming Zong tremble violently.
"Ming Zong, you just came out."
Elder Ming Zong turned his head and found that the person behind her was Ming Siqiu. She was holding a lampstand in her hand, and her long wet hair was draped over her shoulders. She should have just washed and groomed.
"Cough," Elder Ming Zong retracted his gaze and asked, "How long have I been in?"
"How long did you say from yesterday afternoon to today's midnight. Ming Zong, what are you doing up to such a height? It seems that there are not many exercises in the nine hundred floors."
Ming Sijiu had the key to open the Wentian Pavilion in his hand, so he naturally knew the situation in the pavilion. Elder Ming Zong snorted: "What do you care about me, I am an elder, which floor of the Wentian Pavilion I can't go to?"
"Okay, I don't care, just let you have fun." Ming Siqiu covered his mouth and yawned, "Oh, I'm sleepy, I have to go to bed."
Elder Ming Zong turned his head away from looking at her: "Forget it, your cultivation level is still sleeping,
Who are you kidding? "
"He needs to take care of himself, how can he not sleep." Ming Siqiu touched his face, smiled and walked away slowly.
Elder Ming Zong hurried back to the Fangcao Building, and copied the words on the stone tablet onto paper overnight. It's a pity that I was disturbed by Ming Siqiu just now, and there are five sentences that I really can't recall, and I don't know whether these five sentences are important or will affect the content of the stele.
After copying, Elder Ming Zong cut out the words sentence by sentence, put them on the table and spliced them back and forth.
This splicing sentence was spelled out in the morning, looking at the sun rising outside the window, and looking at the messy notes on the table, Elder Ming Zong pulled his hair hard, it was too troublesome, I really couldn’t handle it Difficult sentences. Or throw it to Huisi Academy and let them fight.
As soon as this idea came up, he was vetoed by himself. No, this thing is hidden in such a high position in the Wentian Pavilion, it must be very important. Bite the bullet and do it slowly.
"Master, are you there? Master..." Zheng Qiu's voice came from downstairs, it was the disciple who came.
Master Mingzong put down the note in hand, and flew to the bottom of the building.
Seeing the master, Zheng Qiu looked very happy: "Master, where did you go yesterday? I can't wait for you all day."
Master Ming Zong patted Zheng Qiu's head: "You waited for a day? Silly boy, the master has something to do, you should go back to the small pavilion to rest if you can't wait."
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Zheng Qiu shook his head, "By the way, Senior Sister Mingkong Zilin came here yesterday, she came to see Master."
"Girl?" Master Ming Zong jumped up all of a sudden, looking around frantically, he asked anxiously, "Why is she here? Did she take something away?"
"No, just, just broke something."
"What!" Master Ming Zong was shocked, grabbed Zheng Qiu and asked, "Quickly, what broke? What broke?"
Zheng Qiu pointed to the tea seat in the hall: "Over there, the tables and chairs are all broken, and there are also tea sets."
Phew, Master Mingzong heaved a sigh of relief, luckily it was just these things: "It's okay, if it's broken, it's broken, and I'll replace it with new ones later."
He stroked his beard and thought, that's not right, this time when Zilin came here, there was no disaster in the Fangcao Building, it's strange, it's not like her style. Master Ming Zong asked: "Maid Zi Lin only said she was looking for me, didn't she say anything else?"
"No."
"Look for me..." the master thought to himself, "I didn't take anything, but broke the table and chairs. It seems that I have something to ask me for. Hmph, then I won't go to her, let her come by herself if there is something to do." .”
Master Ming Zong smiled confidently, took Zheng Qiu's hand and walked towards the dry ladder: "Apprentice, don't worry about her, let's go to class first."
"Master, I only visited half of Fangcao Peak the day before yesterday, and I haven't seen the other half."
"Don't worry, first read the contents of the medicine collection in the morning, and the master will take you to Fangcao Peak in the afternoon."
