Chapter 458 Black Book

Jinxia City, inside Fengyang Villa.

"I've basically got what you want." Yan Qing walked into Xia Fan's study and slapped the black book Li found on his desk.

"Really? Thank you for your hard work." Xia Fan said politely. The other person is Li's only remaining relative, and he can be as affectionate as he wants.

The same was true for Li. He sat uncharacteristically on the soft chair next to him, with his legs slightly crossed, head raised and chest raised, holding up the book and reading seriously. Normally, she would have stretched out on her stomach, bending her calves and dangling in front of him.

"There's nothing hard to do. To be honest, I'm also very interested in the content above." Yan Qing said bluntly, "But I'm not an official of the Ministry of Records, and I haven't specifically studied the secret language of Yong Dynasty, so I can only rely on guessing in some places. . The only thing that is certain is that the secret language in this book has undergone some changes, whether it is the wording or sentence structure, it is different from a hundred years ago. This is enough to prove that it is not an ancient book, but has been used recently. "

There should be no one except the Black Gate Sect who is still using the secret language of Yongchao today.

Sure enough, the door-shaped pattern on the cover of the black book describes the moment when King Yong opens the black door?

Xia Fan solemnly opened this ancient book.

As early as the first time he saw this book, he thought of the Black Gate Sect mentioned by the second prince, which was the remnant organization of the former dynasty that attacked Li's mother's convoy midway.

These strange words in the book are likely to be the special language used by the higher-ups of Qi Sensers at that time. Therefore, Xia Fan specially invited Yan Qing here and asked her to try to translate the meaning of the text. The latter took four or five days to get preliminary results.

"First of all, let me state that I do not guarantee that the content is completely correct." Yan Qing pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Xia Fan. "The only ones who can truly master this set of language rules are the old gentlemen in the recording department. If you think If there is anything unusual, it may be an error in my translation.”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can roughly understand the meaning." He looked at several pages carefully, "Hmm... this looks like a log?"

The content of each page in the book is very short, and the reading is quite scattered. There is not necessarily a causal logic before and after, it is more like an essay written every few days.

"I think so too." Yan Qing nodded, "It's not like someone gave it to the tiger demon to teach it how to do evil. Let me say, this book is more like it was accidentally picked up by the tiger demon, and then Or simply..."

"He killed the owner of this book and took it as his own." Xia Fan continued.

“But I heard Qiongqi say that ‘things are different now’.” Li suddenly interjected, “He said that the Villa needed to be cautious in the past, but now that the situation has changed, it’s time to expand.”

"Maybe he noticed some changes when he got this book." Xia Fan read out what Yan Qing wrote in a low voice, "The Pope has determined that what she has been looking for all her life is in this mountain. But how is this possible? This mountain stretches for thousands of miles, with no roads and no rivers. The miasma becomes thicker as you go deeper, making it almost impossible for people to enter."

…

"Half of the fifty-five brothers have already fallen on the road. I may be the next one."

"The Pope said that King Yong once had a glimpse of the truth, but in the end he still fell into the wrong path. The light of the world will not last long and will be extinguished. By then, we will all be swallowed by chaos. Before Qi and accumulation can merge again, the world must find a new way out. ”

"I don't know if I will see that day, but since the Pope said so, I just have to do my best."

"She protects me and so on."

…

"Gods and Buddhas bless you, what did I see? There is such a huge pit in the mountains, and it is bottomless, as if it leads directly to the Nine Netherworld Palace!"

"It can never be excavated by manpower. Even if Taichong Mountain is moved over, it can be loaded in at one go."

"Would King Yong choose to sleep in a place like this? I don't know, but it's better than going all the way to the end and discovering nothing."

"Now we are on the mountainside. It seems close at hand, but I'm afraid there is still quite a long way to go."

…

"There's...something's not right here. It's been a month since we've seen a sunny day. The closer we get to the foot of the mountain, the damper the ground becomes, and it seems like it's always raining above our heads."

"If the valley is prone to clouds and rain, what will happen to a giant sinkhole?"

"In addition, someone found a beautiful crystal piece in the mud. It was very thin and the surface was polished extremely smooth. However, the shape was incomplete and there were signs of fragmentation around it. It looked like part of a large sacrificial vessel. This kind of thing is absolutely It’s not something that ordinary people can have. The answer seems to be clear.”

…

"More signs of previous activity were found, including wheels, pickaxes and some chipped granite blocks. I retract my preamble, someone has indeed been here, and there are quite a few of them."

"The team decided to evacuate and bring the news back to the headquarters. Brothers have suffered too many losses, and we can no longer split our forces into two groups."

"Fortunately, we didn't find nothing. The Pope's guidance was correct. She discerned the truth from the fog!"

"Perhaps the mystery of the Seven Stars of the Eternal King will be revealed by us!"

…

The contents of the black book ended abruptly. On the last page, a simple map could be vaguely discerned, which should have been drawn by the owner of the book. It's just that it's too simple. Apart from knowing that this is deep in the mountains, there is no other information, so it can't be used as a guidance illustration.

Xia Fan put down the book and looked at Yan Qing in disbelief, "The tomb of Prince Yong is in the deep mountains in the south of Ganzhou?"

It's no wonder he thought so. The "eternal sleep" and "sacrificial vessels" mentioned in it are inseparable from the cemetery, not to mention the word "seven stars" appeared at the end - it certainly does not represent the seven star envoys of the Privy Council, but it is very likely to point to the seven tombs of Prince Yong.

The tomb of Prince Yong, this is something that can make all the alchemists crazy!

The emperor of a unified dynasty, a listener who personally opened the door to the heaven, what kind of burial objects would be in his tomb, just thinking about it makes people shudder!

"This is the most reasonable inference." Yan Qing replied calmly, but the hands that were repeatedly clasped revealed that she was not calm in her heart. The whereabouts of the real tomb that the Privy Council dreamed of, unexpectedly appeared in the hands of a tiger demon. "The Black Gate Cult is a fanatical supporter of Prince Yong, and they should know more about him than the Privy Council. If they confirm that Prince Yong is buried here, then the possibility is quite high."

"Let's make a bold assumption. The owner of the Black Book was attacked by Qiongqi on the way out of the mountains, which led to the book being collected as a trophy..." Xia Fan touched his chin and pondered, "But in this case, things seem too coincidental."

"It doesn't matter how the book got into the hands of the tiger monster. What matters is whether the situation in the mountains is really as the owner of the book said, and what stage the Black Gate Cult has progressed to now." Yan Qing said bluntly, "Prince Yong is very familiar with evil techniques. If possible, it's best not to let the Black Gate Cult find the mausoleum first."
