Ghost Blows Out the Light

After Professor Sun finished speaking, he stood up and pushed us back out the door. I thought to myself that this old man is really strange. Didn’t he talk well when he first came in? I was ready to tell us, but then I didn't know where I saw the identities of Da Jinya and me, so I became very serious, maybe I thought we were liars and wanted to deceive him.

According to my usual temper, since we have talked about this, I don’t need to be chased away, I must stand up and leave by myself, but this time is not a trivial matter, maybe it is a matter of life and death, and besides me and Fatty , and may also be related to the life and death of Professor Chen and Shirley Yang.

I said to Professor Sun: "Professor, can you listen to my last sentence, too? I don't know how you can smell the rustiness on us, but this gold-teethed man and I are really different. We used to work for the archaeological team for a long time, Chen Jiuren from Beijing, have you heard of Professor Chen? We worked with him."

When Professor Sun heard me mention Chen Jiuren's name, he was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Old Chen? You mean you two work in his archaeological team?"

I quickly nodded and said yes: "Yes, I think both of you are Taishan Beidou in the archaeological world. In our archaeological circle, if you mention your two old names, no one will be shocked..."

Professor Chen's face softened a little, and he waved his hand: "Don't flatter me, you kid. I know what I am. Since you know Lao Chen, you should stay here and let the two of them avoid it."

As soon as I heard what Professor Sun said, it seemed that there was a connection, so I asked Da Jinya and old man Liu to leave first, leaving me alone to talk with Professor Sun in secret.

After Da Jinya and the others went out, Professor Sun locked the door and asked me something about Professor Chen, so I briefly talked about how I went to the Xinjiang desert with Professor Chen and others to find the ancient city of Jingjue. .

After hearing this, Professor Sun sighed and said, "Old Chen and I are old acquaintances. I have also heard about the accident in the desert. Alas, it is good that his old bones are not buried in the sand. I want to go to Beijing." I visited him, but I heard that he went to the United States for medical treatment. I don’t know if I will see him again in my lifetime. Old Chen was kind to me back then. Since you are his acquaintance, I will no longer hide some things from you. .”

What I was waiting for was Professor Sun's words, and I quickly asked: "I think this bruise that suddenly grew on my back looks like an eyeball, and it is related to the Jingjue ancient city we saw in the deep desert. Those of the Jueguo Guidong tribe all worship the power of eyeballs. I think I have been cursed by some kind of curse, but I heard that it is not eyeballs, but a word, so I would like to ask you to tell me what the word means. Well, I am mentally prepared. Of course, I am also a person who has died seven or eight times. I don’t pay much attention to my personal safety, but Professor Chen probably also has this symptom. I am most worried It's his old man."

Professor Sun said to me: "It's not that I don't want to tell you. I can't tell you these facts. It's not good for you to let you know, but I can tell you clearly that this mark on your back is by no means a curse." Things like non-existent things will not affect your health, so you can rest assured."

The more I listened, the more anxious I became. Doesn’t that mean I didn’t say anything? But Professor Sun said it wasn’t a curse. This sentence relieved my psychological burden a lot, but the more I couldn’t say it, the more I wanted to know. Thousands of years ago What is the content of the text message that cannot be shown to others today, not to mention that the word has grown on me.

Under my repeated questioning, Professor Sun had no choice but to confide something to me:

Professor Sun has been studying ancient sites in the Yellow River Basin all year round. He is an expert in ancient writing and is good at deciphering and translating ancient secret scripts.

Cangjie created characters in ancient times, and the appearance of characters ended the barren history of human beings who tied ropes to record things, and made characters contain a lot of information, including the mysteries of all things in nature. There are four pronunciations of flat, straight and straight.

However, in the earliest era, there were actually eight pronunciations in the text, and the amount of information contained in it was unimaginable for ordinary people. However, these additional information were monopolized by the ruling class, and the other four pronunciations became a confidential language. , is specially used to record some major events that cannot be known by ordinary people.

On some tortoise shells and bamboo slips unearthed in later generations, there are many ancient characters similar to Jiaguwen, but no one has ever understood them. Some people say that there are no words in the heavenly scriptures, and there are no words in the heavenly scriptures. Literal information, but if you can’t decipher it, even if it’s in front of you, you still can’t understand it. Professor Sun has devoted his whole life to dealing with these bibles that no one knows, but the progress has not been great. It can be said that every step is difficult. Poor his mind, but did not research any results.

Until [-], archaeologists excavated an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Micang Mountain. This ancient tomb had been looted by tomb robbers many times. There were six or seven robbed holes, and the body of the tomb owner had been destroyed. , the tomb was also decayed, most of the funerary objects were stolen, and almost all the rest were severely corroded.

Judging from various signs, the owner of this tomb should be Li Chunfeng, the Taishi Ling who was in charge of astronomy, calendar, and yin and yang mathematics in the palace. The fields of technology, culture, and economy in the Tang Dynasty were a pinnacle in the history of Chinese civilization. As a famous "scientist" Li Chunfeng with great reputation in the Tang Dynasty, there should be many important artifacts and materials with great research value in his tomb, but it is a pity that they were all destroyed, which cannot but be said to be a great loss , All the archaeologists at the scene felt extremely sorry for this.

However, the cleaning work still needs to continue. However, with the deepening of the cleaning work, a huge surprise appeared in the decayed coffin. Archaeologists discovered an interlayer in the coffin board above the head of the tomb owner.

There is an interlayer on the top of the coffin, which no one thought beforehand. Even the most experienced experts have never seen an interlayer in the coffin board. Everyone carefully opened the interlayer of the coffin board. There was a cowhide package inside. There is something wrapped in oilcloth and red lacquer. It is a flawless jade box. The jade box is covered with gold and silver. The stone box is engraved with the pattern of winged spirit beasts. The lock on the lid is made of pure gold. .

Because it is hidden in the interlayer of the coffin board, it has been able to escape the looting of tomb robbers for so many years and has been preserved to this day.

Experienced experts can see that it is a property of the Tang dynasty. It may have been rewarded by the emperor to Li Chunfeng, and he placed it in such a secret interlayer of coffin boards. Its importance can be imagined. When the jade box is about to Sent back to the base camp of the archaeological working group.

In a box made of a whole piece of mutton jade, many important items were found, including a keel (some kind of tortoise shell) engraved with "Books from Heaven", which was named "Dragon Bone Yiwenpu", and another One side is a pure gold plate, the gold plate is not big, and the four corners form the shape of an animal head. There are many characters densely cast on the front and back sides, which seems to be a form. Some of the characters on it are recognizable, and some are not. plate".

So Professor Sun, an expert in ancient writing, and others were invited to decipher the secrets of the keel and gold plate. After receiving this task, Professor Sun locked himself in the research room and began to work without sleep or food.

Professor Sun has seen this kind of "dragon bone genealogy" many times. The ancient characters on it can be remembered with closed eyes, but he has never been able to analyze what these characters are and what their meaning is. What is recorded?

This so-called "Book of Heaven" is a hurdle faced by researchers of ancient Chinese characters. If they cannot overcome it, there will be no progress. Once there is a breakthrough, the rest of the problems can be easily solved, but this obstacle is really too big.

Some scholars believe that the "Book of Heaven" is a text left over from a civilization that has disappeared. Those from the Shang period should be a product of the same period, not a relic of prehistoric civilization.

After more than a month of repeated deliberation and research, Professor Sun finally solved the "mystery of the book of heaven". By comparing the "gold plate with horn fan" unearthed from Li Chunfeng's tomb, he found that the ancients used the "book of heaven" to record on the keel. , is an encrypted literal.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng had already deciphered this ancient encrypted text. In order to commend his meritorious service, the emperor specially cast a gold medal to reward Li Chunfeng to commemorate this event. surface.

In fact, the book of heaven is very simple. It is annotated with the phonetic symbols of the four most secret sounds, rather than engraved on the keel with words. However, only a few people who can read these secret sounds can understand the content of the words.

And Li Chunfeng got inspiration from the "Detailed Examination of the Commentaries on the Eight Classics", so as to find a way to understand the secrets of the heavens and solve the mystery of the heavenly books.Professor Sun learned how to interpret the heavenly scriptures from the inspiration of this "golden tablet of animal horns", which caused a subversive sensation in the archaeological field. History with conclusive conclusions will also be rewritten.

Taking various factors into consideration, the higher-ups gave the following instructions to Professor Sun's declassified information: treat it with caution and not announce it to the outside world until a definite conclusion is reached.

Professor Sun said to me: "The trace on your back is said to be an ancient encrypted character, which is not appropriate. This character is not a character in the heavenly script. I only saw this symbol on the tortoise shell unearthed in Gutian. It symbolizes People at that time did not have accurate words to describe a certain thing. I would like to call it a pictogram, which is more appropriate. A pictogram is a symbolic symbol, but I don’t know the meaning of this symbol , it appeared in the encrypted text of the Heavenly Book. The dragon armor unearthed in Gutian, one of the contents of the Heavenly Book seems to be a record about disasters. Since it was just unearthed and the time is tight, I only took a rough look, and I haven’t seen it yet. I had time to carefully analyze the meaning of this symbol, but I didn’t expect that the military plane crashed and crashed on the way back, and those secrets may never be known.”

I asked Professor Sun: "For such an important thing, didn't you leave a record like a rubbing? Although you don't think the mark on my back is a curse or something, I still think it's too strange. If you don't Knowing the details, I can't feel at ease after all. Just tell me, what is the content of the text recorded in the bone armor? Is it related to the ghost cave in Xinjiang? I assure Chairman Mao that absolutely Don't reveal a word of secrets."

Professor Sun stood up suddenly nervously: "I can't say it, once I say it, it will shake the world."
