Chapter 309: Restart-34┃ gold finger.


"What do you mean? Such a big tripod, if you don't see it, you can disappear?" Wei Dong asked in surprise.
"The Jiuding is a artifact of the country. The ancients who believed in the gods and ghosts believed that whoever owns the Jiuding can determine the world and become the lord of the world to whom the destiny belongs." Shao Ling said, "So the "Supplements" said:'The saint of later generations, because The relics of Yu, the Ding Yan has been cast from generation to generation. So these nine tripods became rare national treasures that the monarchs of various countries wanted to occupy during the Warring States era when the world was fighting.
"As for the whereabouts of Jiuding, it was said that the Zhou royal family was in economic distress, the debt was high, and Jiuding was melted and made money to repay the debt. Some said it was the decline of the national power of the Zhou family, and the king of Zhou was afraid of causing trouble, so he sank Jiuding into Surabaya. It was falsely claimed that Jiuding had disappeared. For this reason, it also triggered the famous historical event of Qin Shihuang's fishing trip in Surabaya.
"But the most mysterious thing is the record in the "Historical Records of Justice". It is said that King Qin Zhao plundered Jiuding from the Zhou royal family and returned to the country. One of them suddenly flew into Surabaya, and the others also disappeared. After that, Emperor Qin Shihuang sent a thousand people into the water to fish for the tripod, and eventually found nothing. Since then, Jiuding has disappeared from the world.
"Since ancient times, so many people have pursued Jiuding's whereabouts for so many years, but they all ended in failure. We have only ten people. We want to find Jiuding out of thin air, unless God gives us a golden finger."
Everyone was silent for a while, only the sound of crunching snow underfoot filled their ears.
"Goldfinger, we have." Ke Xun suddenly smiled.
Everyone looked at him together
"I have always felt that only people with real talents and outstanding talents like Yiran and Shao can survive all the way through the painting," Ke Xun took a few steps forward, then turned back to look at everyone. While walking backwards, he smiled in the hot white breath exhaling between his mouth and nose, "And an ordinary rookie like me, it is very likely that he would have chilled early when he entered the first painting.
"Then why can I still live to this day? Of course, I have a bodyguard. But, what about Dongzi? What about carrots? Everyone? Why do people who are obviously better than us die in the painting, but we can Survive?
"Until today, I suddenly realized that we have always thought that we may be the most unlucky person in the world. This incident did not choose others, but chose us, let us experience this terrible life and death situation, who can be more than us Bad luck? But what if we think about it from another angle—
"Maybe, we are actually the luckiest group of people in the crowd, so we can continue to get lucky in the world in the painting. If we change to someone who has no luck, we may be like the other people who have died in the painting. , Was selected by the death rule prematurely and became the first and second experiment to verify the death conditions.
"Just like I encountered Yi Ran in the first painting I entered, why would it put me and him together when grouping with cloth tape? Without him, I would die the first night. So , It is my luck to meet Yi Ran.
"And, have you noticed? With so many paintings, apart from the killings that we can handle, we are not the first to be selected for those deaths caused by force majeure, just like it just ended. For the painting "Restart" by "Restart", let me first ask, who among us is a mosquito sucker?"
Wu You Fang Fei Qin Ci and Wei Dong raised their hands.
"Look," Ke Xun Tan Tanshou, "We stayed in the primeval forest for so long the first day, why no one was bitten by mosquitoes? Instead, Xiao Kai...became the first person to be bitten by mosquitoes, except Tian Yang He died because of blood stains. He Tang was the second to be bitten by mosquitoes. Those of us were still spared.
"--This shows what?
"It shows that we are very lucky people! It shows that the power behind the painting is not only screening the real strong, but it is also screening the hard-fated and lucky darlings of heaven-this is the golden finger that God gave us. !
"So, we have so many lucky people together, maybe we can really find the Jiuding made by Yu who has been lost for thousands of years!"
These words of Ke Xun were like a divine enlightenment, which made everyone enlightenment-yes! Fortunately or unfortunately, everyone has never tried to think in reverse thinking.
Maybe everyone has been making a mistake all the time, that is to be blinded by negative energy and setbacks or suppressed optimistic and positive thoughts, like a of good and evil, like black and white, yin and yang, many things are Two sides of one body, turning hands is joy, covering hands is sorrow, but once we are blindfolded by the covered hands, we habitually close our eyes and bear the darkness obediently, but forget that as long as you try to open your eyes, you can do it at first sight. What you see is the warm and powerful palm.
"I suddenly have infinite motivation now." Wu You waved his arm.
"I'm also very confident." Gu Qingqing said such uplifting words the first time, not so shyly.
"I feel like I can throw a snowball into the sky now and I can hit an airplane." Wei Dong clenched his fist and raised his arm to show his muscles, but only the soft and fluffy sleeves of the down jacket were displayed.
"But I can't deny it. It's still a bad thing to be sucked into the painting," Captain Ke has always said Zhang Chiyou. When the team floats, he will reach out and push people back to the place in time. "This shows that even No matter how lucky we are, this kind of lucky value still can’t resist the power behind the painting, but don’t forget, if there are two forces behind the scenes gambling, then at least one of them is on our side, since we are allowed to find the bones. , I found "Shan Hai Jing Tu", I think we will certainly allow us to find Jiuding."
"No matter what," Shao Ling said, "Everyone, go back tonight and have a good rest. Tomorrow we will continue to work harder. I feel that we are already at the door of the deciphering door. There is only the last threshold. Crossing over is the truth. "
"Wow! Do it!" Ke Xun Wei Dong Wu You cheered.
After a few rounds of snow dancing in the air, the snow swept in all directions.
The next morning, the painters once again gathered in the living room of Ke Xun's home.
Ten copies of the clue chain summarized by Shao Ling were printed out and held in everyone's hands. The corresponding clue at the back of "Burning Rhinoceros at Sea" was changed to "The Jiuding Lost by Qin Shi".
"Except for this set of clue chains, what we now know is: I, Mu, and Ke Xun, the Jomon bones on the three people are presumed to be'diwei', and the bones of the others are from the Yu version on Jiuding. "Shan Hai Jing Tu"," Shao Ling wanted to sit on Ke Xun’s lazy sofa, but unable to get up, he had to collapse on the sofa in a special kind of surrogate style, "and we need to solve the problem urgently. Yes: Where is Jiuding.
"If the legend of one of the Nine Dings flying into Surabaya is true, then it would be very difficult for us to find the Nine Dings. There are 30 large and small tributaries in Surabaya, and there are five first-level tributaries with a drainage area of ​​more than 100 square kilometers. Among them, the carpet search, not to mention the amount of financial resources, is difficult for us to meet the demand even in terms of manpower.
"What's more, Qin Shihuang's fishing for the tripod was considered to have used national power. We only have ten people. If we do it properly, I am afraid that all we can do is useless. We have no manpower and no time.
"So if you want to find a tripod, you may only have to try your luck, as Ke Xun said. But even if it's a chance, it must be within a certain range. This range is that we must first delineate the smallest possible place that Jiuding will be in. Area, and we need to be at least 50% sure that they will sink in Surabaya."
"Actually, I thought about it last night," Ke Xun said. "Jiuding can be regarded as a real thing that has historically proven true existence, but what about Diwei? According to common sense, this thing cannot exist, but since this whole thing This is not in line with common sense, so let's consider it as a land dimension for the time being. Where can we find it? The ancients thought the earth was square, but the reality is that the earth is round. Where are we going to find the four corners of the earth? And if Diwei is impossible to find, or does not need to be found, is it also impossible to find Jiuding, and there is no need to find it?"
This made everyone stunned. Indeed, some of the inferences made yesterday could explain Jiuding but could not explain Diwei. If Diwei is not established, then Jiuding, which is also a skeletal aspect, should not be established.
"I want to know why we have to have 13 people," Zhu Haowen said, "If the source of the incident is the "Shan Hai Jing Tu", it will be enough if only nine people enter the painting? Why do we have to have four more representatives of the land dimension? People enter painting? Does this mean that ground dimension is an indispensable thing, and whether it can play a role in matching with Jiuding?"
"This idea has a spectrum." Ke Xun nodded.
"We said before that the role of Diwei was mentioned in "Liezi·Tangwen Pian"," Mu Yiran said, "The Gonggong clan fought Zhuanxu as the emperor, and they touched the mountain in anger. Tianzhuzhe, Diwei Absolutely. Therefore, the sky falls to the northwest, and the sun, the moon, and the stars are all.
"From this description, it can be known that if one or two of the earth dimension is broken, the earth will collapse, indicating that the function of the earth dimension is to keep the earth stable.
"And Jiuding, engraving all the phenomena of Jiuzhou, the weight cannot be estimated. The ancients believed that they have supernatural power and witchcraft blessings. , Is the land of the world.
"Earth dimension and Jiuding are both related to the earth, and earth dimension is to maintain the stability of the earth. Jiuding and Dingding are probably used to stabilize the land."
"That's right!" Ke Xun's eyes lit up. "This is consistent with the clue that "the power of darkness is about to break through the ground and come out into the real world" implied by "Breaking the Earth"-maybe this Jiuding is used by witches to suppress this What about an artifact of power! What do you think?"
Everyone nodded again and again, and Wei Dong said, "This is connected! It may be like this: The power of darkness was originally held by these nine tripods, but during the Qin Dynasty, these nine tripods suddenly disappeared and were trapped in the land. The power that came down was ready to rush to the world, this time—this time—"
Speaking of this, Wei Dong suddenly opened his eyes in horror and looked at the people in front of him: "At this time...the power of Jiuding needs to be suppressed again, but Jiuding has disappeared, so...so the painting appeared. The skeleton of the painter is the pattern of mountains and seas on Jiuding...So...So, we people are...actually...Ding? We--we are the ones who disappeared--Jiuding?"
In the past few days, everyone has been stunned by reasoning clues, and they have been repeatedly shocked by new inferences and cognition. They thought that after several baptisms and temperings, their nerves were strong enough, but they were still new again. The reasoning was shocked, and his mind was blank for a while.
It was not until a long time later that I heard Mu Yiran say: "This kind of statement is all right, but I have another speculation. Why Jiuding disappeared, this is no way to know, since it is assumed that Jiuding's role is to suppress evil, then at the beginning The person who blessed divine power or witch power on the cauldron must be a witch.
"If the dark power is indeed taking advantage of the disappearance of Jiuding to break through the barriers and invade the world, perhaps the mountain and sea patterns and Jomon on the bones are specially selected by the witch, and then the magic power is imprinted on the bones to replace the function of the tripod. To restrain that force.
"So, maybe everyone is not the main body of the tripod and the earth, but just inherited a seal similar to the seal, which can play the role of the tripod and the earth."
"...I feel much better when my brother-in-law said that..." Luo Ling patted his chest vigorously, and took a long breath.
"Of course, these are all speculations for the time being," Mu Yiran said. "Moreover, if the bone seal works, what is the reason why the batches of painters have been entering the paintings for thousands of years? So, we are still after all. Try your best to find Jiuding's whereabouts."
"But then, what is the connection between the world of Shanhaijing and that dark power?" Zhu Haowen said suddenly.
"I feel that it is difficult to tell this question only based on our current clues," Shao Ling said. "There is a saying that the images in the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" are actually things related to witchcraft.
"For example, in the "Overseas Southern Jing", the Republic of Yu, the Long-arm State, and the Kingdom of Jiaoshan, the people of the Republic of Yu in the picture are the image of wearing feather clothes. The stretch of the arm was exaggerated.
"The original version of "Shan Hai Jing Tu" engraved on Jiuding disappeared in Qin Dynasty, or there may be some rubbings that have been passed down for some years, but in the process of passing down, it is easy to be misunderstood or misunderstood by posterity. As shown in the picture, it was only then that slowly there were many images of gods and ghosts in the text version of "Shan Hai Jing".
"But it is very possible that the characters of the Yu Republic, the Crossing Shan Kingdom, and the Long Arm Kingdom were just ordinary people or witches from the beginning, but the images carved on the tripod were actually ordinary people or witches performing witchcraft activities. Apparently, they were wearing special costumes, dancing witch dances, and making gestures when doing things. These exaggerated images and movements have been passed down for centuries and thousands of years, and they have gradually faded and become the people of a certain country like ghosts.
"So, maybe there is still such a possibility-the world of "Shan Hai Jing Tu" may not exist. All its images are symbols of witchcraft with supernatural power. What really exists is that one. The dark power hidden under the earth, the real role of "Shan Hai Jing Tu" may be the suppression of evil spirits and sealing, and this entire painting incident is probably the opportunity that the dark power wants to break through the shackles.
"I think the frame is the barrier that separates the two worlds of black and white. The world in the painting may be what the dark power showed us, the appearance of that world."
