The second episode doesn't know the Jin and Tang Dynasties, regardless of the Song and Ming Dynasty Chapter 67 Eight Desolations ** Four Elephants Yin Yang Ding

Pin Ze now only knows the name of a furnace tripod, and the name must be very Niu Wen, "called sail, eight wilderness ** four elephants yin and yang tripod."

The structure of this tripod is the kind of tripod furnace integrated type, the main body is shaped like a gourd, it is composed of two drum structures, the big one below is the furnace, and the small one above is the tripod. The four tripod ears are the statues of the four holy beasts of the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird and the Xuanwu that symbolize the four directions. At the bottom of the eight legs, there is a relief of the innate gossip. At the top of the Ding furnace is a Taiji diagram.

There are many inscriptions or reliefs on the furnace ding, and at first glance it looks like some traditional patterns and patterns. But if you look at it with a high-powered magnifying glass. As you can see, these patterns and patterns are composed of extremely small clouds.

And these cloud seals are all ancient "old cloud seals". Instead of the now popular "new cloud seal."

Speaking of "Cloud Seal", it is estimated that as long as you have a little understanding of Taoist culture, you will know it. This is a kind of writing unique to Chinese Taoism, and according to legend, it is a script created by Taoist people according to natural phenomena such as cloud and fog changes between heaven and earth, climate change, and the movement of stars, and then based on Chinese characters in seal style. This font is dedicated to Taoism and is difficult to identify. It is full of mysterious and unpredictable colors, and people know little about it, so it is also called "the book of heaven." ”

In the various ritual ceremonies and cultivation practices of Taoism, these mysterious and mysterious symbols can be seen everywhere and everywhere, and we can feel their visual impact on us.

From the point of view of artistic style, the text on this kind of seal ritual instrument may resemble a seal script. Or look like wild grass, which is mixed with clouds, or occasionally with star maps, the charm is vivid, and the shape is strange. Float with ease. With fairy wind and rhyme. It fully shows a kind of spiritual sentiment that is out of the ordinary.

But few people know that there is actually more than one kind of cloud seal. The cloud seals used by Taoism now are all "new cloud seals that only appeared during the Northern and Southern Dynasties." And before that, there was a kind of "old cloud strategy."

"New Cloud Seal. Because it was created on the basis of Chinese characters in seal style, the Taoist talisman seals can be more or less recognized. Words come. And "the old cloud seal." It is completely different, it is not created from Chinese characters at all, it has nothing to do with Chinese characters at all. It is neither an oracle bone inscription, nor a gold inscription, nor a stone drum inscription, and the date of its earliest appearance is no longer known, but at least on some Shang Dynasty bronzes or ancient pottery, there are such bizarre writings.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the "old cloud seal" is completely a bunch of patterns and patterns composed of various lines and dots, which looks complicated and unintelligible. It's a bunch of meaningless patterns, and it's not words at all.

Originally, Su Xue didn't know the innermost Dao, but a few "Touching Gold Captains" in the Holy Dao Society. and "Calling the beast." Born Taoist friends, such as Mu Haogu. But there are some clues in his own work. They have recorded this kind of writing in some cultural relics and books of the Han Dynasty, the pre-Qin Dynasty, the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

A few years ago, Mu Haogu and others had several posts on the website about the study of "Ancient Cloud Seal". But because this thing is too professional. There are only a handful of interested Taoists. And, of course, the most important reason. It is because of the narrow circulation of this kind of writing, and it has been lost for too long. So this kind of text is now simply undecipherable.

Mu Haogu and others studied it for several years. Not much progress has been made. So it's discouraged. However, their efforts are not entirely in vain. Although the interpretation failed, some information about this script was also verified.

For example, "Ancient Cloud Seal." It has little to do with Taoism. Taoism is also rarely used, but it is more used by Wuxian, Yinyang, etc. This kind of writing appeared most during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Two Han Dynasty, and after the Two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the number of characters began to gradually decrease. After arriving in the Tang Dynasty, it basically never appeared again.

If it weren't for getting some information from the Heavenly Cloud Book, Su Xue would also be confused about this kind of writing now. But there is a book "Astronomical True Explanation" in the Heavenly Cloud Book, and a book "Cloud Seal Pointing Back", and several other books, all of which are dedicated to introducing cloud seals.

Through these materials, Su Zecai can be regarded as having some understanding of this kind of writing. It turns out that "Ancient Cloud Seal" is not a simple text, if it is described by modern words. They are closer to some kind of computer program, or some kind of printed circuit.

This kind of writing has power. It's real power!

Powerful writing is not unique to China. There are similar legends in many parts of the world. For example, the ancient Nordic "Rune script." "Ancient Egyptian" sacred writings. "The Indian "Priestly Writings" and so on,

The same is true of this "ancient cloud seal". They are something that is connected to all kinds of energies in the universe. Different text permutations and combinations. can produce different effects. can be released, communicated, channeled, transformed, stored, created" and so on. Various forms of energy utilization. as well as various manifestations such as high temperature, low temperature, gravity, etc. It can even interfere with time or space.

Of course, these words resemble some kind of computer program or some kind of printed circuit. Then they also need to have the energy to start, and the right way to operate. Rune text. and other similar words, not to mention for the time being, Su Ze doesn't understand it.

The energy required for the "Ancient Cloud Seal" is the true qi of the cultivator. The spirit of the two realms and the required mode of operation are engraved with various mental methods and six systems of thousands of verticals. Why is it lost? According to the speculation of Mu Haogu and others. The decrease in the aura of the natural world is probably the biggest reason, followed by the decline in the level of cultivators. As a result, this kind of writing cannot be used.

Use in and out. What cannot be used will naturally disappear, which is an iron law of human society. "Ancient Cloud Seal. And so it is, of course. Of course, it wasn't just the "Ancient Cloud Seal" that disappeared in the cultivation realm. "There are also many magic weapons and refining methods of "Great Dan", which have also been lost.

Su Ze spent a few days. Repeatedly teamed up this tripod cloud strategy, and now these cloud seals have been combined and become various magic circles related to refining items.

However, I remember the scene of the other day. Su Ze was also sweating a little now.

At that time, he tortured Old Man Wu about this, Ding's origin, Old Man Wu couldn't hold on, so he had to explain honestly.

In fact, apart from knowing that this Ding Furnace was a strange thing, Old Man Wu didn't know much what it was. According to Old Man Wu, this Ding and those fragments of "Chaozhen Taixu Record". and "Tiangang Yin Evil True Solution". They were all obtained by his great-grandfather.

The origin of the only one is very tortuous. In the year of the sacrifice of the Common Era, after the Eight-Nation Coalition entered Beijing, they looted everywhere. One of them, a French officer. In a Manchu palace, he snatched it fiercely, in addition to all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry. These things are also included.

Later, this, the officer was immediately transferred to serve in Vietnam. At that time, Vietnam was already a French colony. Under this officer, there was a group of Vietnamese soldiers, and the great-grandfather of Old Man Wu was also one of them. Because French is better. He was a sycophant again, so he became a confidant of a French officer.

This flange officer was also too careless. He actually showed off his gains in Beijing in front of this cronies. The Wu family was dazzled by which gold and silver treasures were played. Immediately there was a desire to possess it.

This martial artist is also a ruthless, bold and careful person. Half a month later. He teamed up with a group of outlaws to orchestrate a murder and robbery, and the French officer's family was all killed. All belongings were swept away. Pity this guy for the things he worked so hard to grab, and before he had time to enjoy less, he married someone alive and took the life of a family.

There is a lot of stuff in the house. Among them, floating wealth such as gold and silver treasures was immediately divided by the Wu family and accomplices. But there were a few things they didn't know, that is, what Su Xue had seized from Old Man Wu this time.

These things are not known to the accomplices. Not very interested. However, the Wu family has seen some of the market. Knowing ancient books is also a very precious thing. The engraved jade plate book fragment and the "Tiangang Yin Sha True Solution" were kept.

As for this furnace ding. Because it was very heavy, the Wu family was curious, so they also stayed.

Later, the son of the Wu family practiced the head-lowering technique, after he studied the "Tiangang Yin Evil True Solution". He tried to combine some of the contents with the head-lowering technique, and as a result, his head-lowering technique improved by leaps and bounds, and his power increased greatly, and he became a well-known local head-lowering master. Later, he started this Kunsong school.

With his own personal experience, the son of the Wu family thinks that these treasures that cannot be taken away, even if they don't know the purpose now, they must be left as family heirlooms. Afterward. It has been passed on to Old Man Wu's generation, and of course Old Man Wu has not studied it.

As Si Ming said it's, "Good stuff." Su Ze naturally regarded it as a key research project.

Although Su Ze didn't know what the origin of this tripod was. But from the appearance, it must be a magic weapon, otherwise what are so many cloud seals for?

For magic weapons. Su Ze already has some experience. He immediately pressed the experience a few times. Feed the furnace with real gas. As a result, because of this, he was almost finished.

When the true qi was input, the furnace ding did establish a connection with him, which proved that this thing was indeed a magic weapon. Su Xue was overjoyed. And put your mind into it. In order to master the center of the magic weapon.

However, he never expected that the center of this furnace tripod actually had a defensive formation to kill the Immortal Exterminating God Array. This formation was set up by the previous owner of the furnace, and in order to defend against the magic weapon falling into the hands of non-own personnel, it was used by him. This formation is specifically designed to kill the primordial spirit or will of the cultivator. If you don't close the formation beforehand. Once the primordial spirit or will enters it, it will be destroyed by this formation.

As soon as Su Ze's will entered, he was trapped in this formation. With Su Ze's current cultivation in the condensation period, it was absolutely impossible to break through this formation.

But fortunately, there is still an uncle outside, and Su Xue is in danger and desperately calls for his life. This, when Si Ming didn't drop the chain, he arrived instantly, and I don't know what method it used. Directly put this, the Immortal Extermination Array was controlled.

Later, Si Ming took Su Ze's idea again. Bypassed a labyrinth formation before coming to the control center of the furnace. After this, a fatal danger, Su Xue can be regarded as turning this furnace into his own.
