Chapter 834: Thousands of Changing Locks
Because it is too dangerous to be close to the edge of the waterfall, and if Candle Rainbow and Beichen Shu are touched by the highly poisonous water, they may be seriously injured or even fall, so Mo Tianwei planned to read the replica for Candle Rainbow herself, but now the replica is not possible, she had to say: "You go and see for yourself, maybe as you said, it is the Demon Ancestor Emblem." β
Although Candle Hong was a little worried, he hadn't forgotten his identity, so he naturally didn't dare to object, so he carefully stood behind Mo Tianwei's sword puppet and watched the thirteen symbols.
"It's the Demon Ancestor Emblem. β
After only looking at it once, Candle Hong confirmed, and then quickly fled back to Beichen Shu's side, "When I visited the Holy Demon Clan before, I was fortunate enough to see three of them. These emblems are the treasures of their clan, and they have extremely strong power, but I haven't seen any of them use them yet - after all, the Demon Ancestor is still alive, who would provoke the Holy Demon Clan. β
"Although I haven't seen the other ten, being able to coexist with the Demon Ancestor Emblem is enough to show that they should be at the same level. β
"According to you, the Demon Ancestor Emblem has extremely strong power, but it appears here at the same time......" Mo Tianwei thought thoughtfully, "Contact those things we encountered earlier...... They are supposed to be used to suppress and seal something. β
What requires thirteen Demon Ancestors to use the emblem to suppress the seal, naturally there is only the Evil Heavenly Dao.
"But apart from this deep pool, there doesn't seem to be anything strange here, even if the Demon Ancestor Emblem wants to suppress the Evil Heavenly Dao, how can it appear here? shouldn't it......" Beichen Shu couldn't help but ask.
Mo Tianwei was also very puzzled by this, maybe the Demon Ancestor Emblem existed in many corners of this strange placeβalthough this possibility was very small, maybe there was really something special here that they hadn't discovered.
"Do you know those words?" she asked, looking at the notches she had found earlier, and asked Candle Rainbow.
Candle Hong laughed dryly twice, and said weakly: "I...... I only know a little bit. β
God is pitiful, he was originally a demon who didn't like to learn those miscellaneous things, but as a result, there was only a remnant soul left, but he had to make a living from it, and the demon life was really difficult.
"Explain everything you know. β
Candle Hong honestly pointed to one of the nicks: "Similar nicks, in the demon characters I know, there are two possible meanings. In the ancient Dusk language, it means 'demon god', and in the old Rhino language, it means 'evil' - both of which were once the people who once possessed the Ancient Demons, but after the fall of the Ancient Demons, they gradually declined, and disappeared about two million years ago. β
"It's the word 'blood,' and it might mean something else in other languages, but that's all I know. β
"It's 'core', similar to the lingua franca of more than a million years ago, and it seems to mean this in the ancient language of many ethnic groups. β
......
Although Candle Hong tried very hard to explain, he did not know many ancient words, which caused Mo Tianwei and Beichenshu to not be able to know the true meaning of these lines of nicks from these scattered words.
"Let's find another way. β
Mo Tian was a little depressed, if it was a general cloze in the blanks, it could be inferred from the context, but many spells were originally extremely difficult, and even if they were placed in front of them in their entirety, they couldn't understand their meanings, let alone the lack of words.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, a few lines of text have to be written in so many languages......"
Originally, this was just a casual complaint, but after saying it, she was stunned - although it is possible that these notches belong to an ancient script that Candle Rainbow does not know, but ...... Maybe they're really a combination of many different languages?
It's like the password in the previous life was a mixture of English, numbers, and symbols.
At this time, Beichenshu put forward a guess: "These nicks are crooked and uneven, is it possible that they do not actually belong to one sentence, but many sentences?"
A lot of words......
Mo Tianwei understood what he meant, someone may have written a line of words in the ancient language of the Twilight Demon Clan first, and then the handwriting was disguised, and the latecomers didn't know that there were words on it, and added a layer of messages, covering the previous words, only a few brushstrokes were still clear, and then the latecomers did the same...... Over time, this is how this happens.
It's just that it's too much of a coincidence!
And why are so many people writing on it, is this a message board?
Mo Tianwei couldn't figure it out, so she decided to put this matter aside first and solve another thing first.
She picked up a dark red gravel at her feet, which came from the same origin as theirs.
"These stones are not protected by the Heavenly Dao, but they are not corroded by the poison in the water, we can use them. β
Saying that, Mo Tianwei used his sword intent to slash the gravelβand sure enough, he cut off a large piece.
When these stones were still on the mountain wall, her sword intent could be carved on them, and now she was no exception, and soon she carved a water scoop, walked to the edge of the pool, and scooped a scoop of water.
At this time, she suddenly felt that this scene was familiar, but she didn't remember when or where a similar scene had happened.
Mo Tianwei took the water scoop and carefully poured it on the mountain wall of the cave, and soon the mountain wall was wet.
Beichen Shu was stunned and didn't know what she was doing, but now he seemed to understand a little, and hurriedly walked over, "Jian Zun wants to try to see if this water can make other hidden words on the mountain wall visible?"
Mo Tian bowed slightly: "There is no other way, our cultivation is too low." β
Maybe the heavens also think that they have been a little unlucky recently, and they really made Mo Tianwei discover the trick by mistake.
A faint golden light emerged from the wet mountain wall, and when the golden light dissipated, the water trails on the mountain wall disappeared, leaving only a few lines of notching, still words they did not recognize.
Beichenshu's eyes lit up: "It works! I'll try it too." β
As he spoke, he found a piece of gravel that was not small, made a bucket and a water scoop, and learned Mo Tianwei's movements to water it.
Both of them have cultivated in their bodies, and it is not difficult to do this, and soon the cave except for the mountain wall near the waterfall was watered by them - and the mountain wall near the waterfall naturally had the water of the waterfall wet them, and only thirteen Demon Ancestor emblems appeared, and there should be no other nicks on them.
The diligent old farmer Mo Tianwei and Beichen looked at the candle rainbow in unison.
Candle Rainbow: "......" I'm really uneducated, I really don't understand it very well!
Without waiting for Candle Rainbow to kneel and beg for mercy, the notches on the mountain wall changed again, as if they had autonomous consciousness, they moved on their own, and they recombined after a short time - although, Mo Tianwei and Beichen Shu still couldn't understand it......
Candle Hong said loudly as if she had found hope to live: "I know, I know what this is!"
"This is a thousand locks, it was once the most powerful sealing treasure, but then it was somehow lost, and gradually no one remembered, I only saw its relevant records in ancient books before, and this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes......"
Mo Tianwei: "Tell me everything you know." β
In fact, she doesn't have to ask for it, for the sake of her own life, Candle Hong will also honestly explain.
"The Thousands of Changing Locks are very mysterious, not so much that it is a Sealing Secret Treasure, but it is a Trapped Lock Secret Treasure, but being trapped and locked by it is equivalent to being sealed, as long as the lock cannot be unlocked, then it will never be able to leave the world in the lock, it is said that it was created by an ancient demon, and she trapped many of her enemies with this Thousand Machines Change......"
These words are the key to the changeable lock, you can understand it as a riddle, you have to guess the answer to the puzzle in order to open the lock. Candle Rainbow pointed to the words on the mountain wall, "They are not forbidden, they are just simple common languages, and they do not have great power, but thousands of machines can use these words to form a trapped lock magic map, it is called the most powerful sealing treasure, it is not without reason." β
Beichen Shu was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there was such a powerful secret treasure in the world, and the heavens and all worlds didn't seem to have it.
Mo Tianwei became more and more strange the more he listened......
- Tell me the truth, isn't this really a combination lock?
Of course, Mo Tianwei doesn't understand the principle of password locks, she just thinks so, and at the same time, she also feels that the ever-changing lock is really a bit powerful.
Candle Hong said that the Thousands of Machines and Variety Locks used words to form a trapped lock magic diagram, but in fact, there was no magic diagram - at least the magic vine did not perceive the existence of the magic diagram prohibition, which indicated that it should use another power.
"That's nonsense, you translate all the words you know, and we'll guess the riddle. Mo Tianwei stretched out his hand and poked the candle rainbow.
Candle Hong hid behind Beichen Shu depressedly and translated silently.
"First the Demon Ancestor Emblem, and then the Thousand Machines Lock, it seems that there is really a powerful existence sealed here......" After sending Candle Rainbow to work, Mo Tianwei began to think about the problems he was currently facing.
If Candle Rainbow can guess the answer to the riddle, it means that the lock is opened, and the powerful existence trapped in the locked world will naturally get out of the trap - this is simply the standard death routine of many supernatural horror movies.
But if they guess the riddle and don't open the lock, then why do they spend so much effort doing it by hand and watering?
These two dilemmas also made Beichen Shu feel tricky, and he couldn't help but look at Mo Tianwei, "Sword Venerable, what should we do?"
Mo Tianwei was silent.
Since entering this ghost place and encountering so many messy things, she wants to go bald, what can she do now?
β...... Maybe Candle Rainbow can't guess the answer to the riddle at all. Finally, she suggested another possibility, "Then let's use this gravel as a shield and try to dive into the pool." β
Yes, she had done something similar when she was in Senluohai before.
But at this time, Candle Hong flew over very excitedly and said loudly: "I already know what the mystery is!"
Mo Tianwei looked at him, "There is no need to talk about the mystery for the time being, you can explain what these mean first." β
After the notches were arranged and combined, they were divided into ten pieces, each with a different text, and she couldn't read it anyway.
"Although there are some individual characters that I don't recognize, such as these ones, when they are grouped into this section, I find that I actually know this language......"
"This piece tells a story in the legend of the demon race, about the origin of an ancient demon......
"This is about how the Demon Lord became the Demon Ancestor, and that's exactly what it says......"
"This one is a travelogue......"
......
After explaining all their meanings in detail, Candle Hong began to explain her own idea of solving the puzzle: "Actually, we don't need to know the true meaning of these words, because here they do not represent their original meaning, and may even be diametrically opposed. At this point, you can interpret them as a ......"
"Labyrinth?" Mo Tianwei blurted out.
"Pretty much, many of these words are nonsense, only used to disturb our judgment, only a few of them really have a role, and the first thing we need to do is to analyze what is useful and what is not. This level is the hardest, but there are tricks, such as the 'deletion method' that I used to ......"
"After that, we look at the position of these valid words and their relationship to the surrounding text......"
......
After some telling, Mo Tianwei understood what was going on with the mystery of the ever-changing lock, and also knew what the mystery of the mystery in front of him was.
But as long as she doesn't point out the mystery, the myriad locks won't be solved.
But at this time, Mo Tianwei also found another problem, "I said, this should only be a possible solution, I have another solution here." β
Candle Hong looked at her stunned: "What? Another solution? But there can only be one mystery to the lock......
"You see, according to the method you just said, if these are the excluded nonsense words......"
Mo Tianwei demonstrated it to him, and the final answer to the mystery was not the same as what he came up with, but according to this method, there was nothing wrong.
"This can't be, there can only be one mystery to all the mysteries!" Candle Hong felt confused, "but what's going on...... Am I learning the wrong way?"
Beichen said: "Why can't there be two mysteries for thousands of locks?"
Many seals had many ways to be opened, which didn't seem like much to him.
Candle Hong was still entangled and didn't answer his question, Mo Tianwei thought for a moment before saying, "If there are two mysteries, it should be a problem with the design." The use of thousands of locks is not a prohibition, but a kind of ...... Psychic power, I don't know what to call it, is perhaps the unique gift of the ancient demon who created it. β
"But it is not easy to use the power of the mind, it must have a definite and unwavering conviction that only one existence is allowed, and the only two represent the ...... of choice"
Beichen Shu was thoughtful, and couldn't help but ask, "How did Jian Zun know?"
Obviously, when Candle Hong mentioned it just now, you didn't know anything about the thousands of machines and locks like me.
Candle Hong also looked at it with a complicated expression, and he also wanted to know.
Mo Tianwei: "I guess casually, but the psychic power should be right - in addition to the actual power in this world, such as magic power, spiritual power, ghost soul power and even the power of the Great Dao, isn't there only spiritual power left?"
Beichenshu: "...... Oh. β
