"If Jiuding is the ultimate weapon to suppress demons, how did they disappear and where are they now?" Qin Ci said, "I think the two words of the expert mentioned in this note are very It is worth noting:'Jiuding is still there, but not here' and'Knowable but not visible, visible but not available.' This clearly refers to the place where Jiuding was after disappearance, but these two sentences are really obscure and difficult to understand. Blurred."

"Jiuding is still there, but not here...what does this'here' mean?" Luo Ling asked.

"Not in this place?" Li Xiaochun guessed, "Didn't it mean that Jiuding was in the Zhou dynasty at that time, and then he flew into Surabaya, and of course he was not there."

"...So is this nonsense what the expert said?" Wei Dong looked at Li Xiaochun speechlessly.

"Then what do you mean by this?" Li Xiaochun asked back.

"I wonder if it means not in the world." Wei Dong said, "I remember some stories with magical colors that I saw when I was a child. For example, the sword used by the protagonist is an excalibur. After this mission, the sword turned into a dragon and flew into the sky. Since then, there has been no trace. There are many stories like this. Maybe Jiuding's life cycle is over, and it will turn into something and go to the sky. After all, Jiuding is Sacred tools, it’s impossible for them to stay in the human world forever, so the expert said they still exist, but they are no longer in the human world and have returned to the sky."

"I think Dongzi's thinking is right," Ke Xun said. "But going back to the sky is a bit of a silly argument. Where is the sky? Mars or outer space? I don't think this thing can be true no matter how godly it is. A Lingxiao Hall is above the nine heavens, and there is a Jade Emperor leading the gods and gods. I think it’s right that Jiuding is not in the world, but where they went, it’s really hard to say."

"Could it be underground?" Wu You asked, "Could it be the demons in the underground who stole Jiuding? If it was stolen, there would be no infrasound to affect them, so they tried to steal Jiuding. "

"Please, sister, Jiuding was still resonating infrasound at that time. The demon couldn't get up from the ground at all, so how could he steal them?" Li Xiaochun said.

"Perhaps we should start with the phrase'knowable but not visible, visible but not available"," Zhu Haowen said. "These two sentences have two meanings.

"Knowable but not visible, I think it should mean'Although we know they still exist, we can't see them with the naked eye'.

"And'visible but unavailable', I think it refers to people with superpowers like the great witch or this expert. They can see where Jiuding is, but there is no way to get them, or tell The specific location of others in Jiuding."

"Hao Wener's statement is reliable," Ke Xun nodded. "Then what we have to figure out next is where these people with superpowers can see but can't tell?"

Everyone fell into thinking, but no one could come to the answer.

"Huh?" Ke Xun patted Wu You on the shoulder, "Didn't this expert open his eyes, you should have the most say!"

Everyone reacted and looked at Wu You quickly.

Wu You was at a loss: "I, where am I, what an expert, I only look at the bones, and I can't see anything else!"

"Don't worry, you can try to look around this place by looking at the bones," Yue Cen said. "Perhaps you can still use this method to observe the rock platform tonight."

"Yes, we neglected this, forgetting that Wu You still possesses such an ability," Shao Ling nodded, "Why don't you give it a try tonight, there may be a breakthrough discovery."

"Okay..." Wu You agreed nervously.

"Let’s release the whereabouts of Jiuding for the time being," Hua Jiqiu said. "There are more new clues on these notes that are related to ourselves, for example, the origin of the bones."

"Yes, the key lies in the first note, the message of this predecessor who claimed to be'Yu'," Shao Ling turned the note to this page and pointed it out to everyone, "This is the expert, After the loss of Jiuding, he was the first to discover the underground monster's attempt to break out of the ground and return to the world. He also figured out a way to replace Jiuding, turning the "Mountain and Sea Map" on Jiuding into a skeleton and injecting it into humans. Body."

"This expert is really awesome," Wei Dong exclaimed, "If it weren't for the fact that he had discovered this incident in the night gaze, and spared no effort to find a way to deal with it, we would have long been the world of demons and ghosts."

"This note comes from around the beginning of the Qin Dynasty," Mu Yiran said. "It was just when Jiuding was just lost. Fortunately, that era was the era when the alchemists were everywhere, and it was also the era when Taoism prevailed. The demon's change happened to be caught by this expert, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable."

"What's the matter with the nine tripods, five yang and four yin mentioned by this expert?" Ke Xun asked.

Gu Qingqing flipped through his notebook, turned to a certain page, stopped, and said: "'Yu casts Jiuding, the five use the Yang method, and the four use the Xiang Yin method. The engineer uses the female gold as the Yin Ting. , Taking the golden dragon as the sun tripod. The tripod is always full to account for the rest of the weather. In Xia Jie’s time, the tripod water suddenly boiled. And at the end of the week, Jiuding Xianzhen. Both should be the omen of destruction.'—This is When I checked Jiuding's information, I read it from "Supplementary Notes" and copied it down."

"'Jiuding Xianzhen'!" Wei Dong clapped his hands, "According to our previous speculation, there really is resonance!"

"Five yang and four yin are to meet the number of yin and yang," Ke Xun touched his chin, his eyes swept across the faces of his companions, "it seems that from the beginning, the number of men and women participating in the painting has been destined , Not counting the four dimensions, a person with a bone-like shape, is destined to have five men and four women in the painting. No wonder Sister Cen has had such an experience since a very early time. I can't hide it."

Yue Cen smiled and said, "Perhaps from a certain angle, I should feel honored for this, which shows that I am still quite affirmed by painting."

"Yes, it means that we are the strong ones left after screening." Everyone also smiled happily.

"What I care more about is this sentence," Qin Ci continued to point to the page on Shao Ling's notes, "'Get the Jiuding map, get the power of the magic spell.' Does this mean mean, Jiuding The "Mountain and Sea Map" cast on the above has the power of witchcraft? But what we have speculated before is that the "Mountain and Sea Map" carved on the body of the tripod is to change the frequency of resonance. It’s just a picture. What kind of curse can there be?"

"This is indeed a problem," Shao Ling said. "Our previous speculation was more focused on scientific explanations, but the subsequent "Shanhai Tu" has the power of witchcraft, and the image is transformed into bones and implanted in the human body. It’s hard to explain with scientific things. We can only think that the power of gods and ghosts does exist in this world, whether it is witchcraft, bones, or the events of painting, only the power of gods and ghosts can do it. Thing."

"I still think that what you said can be explained by scientific principles," Zhu Haowen said. "It's just that none of us are scientists. The limitations of knowledge and cognition make us unable to find a scientific basis. "

"Brothers, whether it's science or ghosts, I don't think this is the point," Luo Ling said. "The point is the things that the expert said afterwards. It's too desperate to sacrifice one's life and seal up ghosts. ..."

Shao Ling and Zhu Haowen both paused. Shao Ling lowered his head and stared at his notes, avoiding Luo Ling's words, and said: "This expert speculates from the perspective of metaphysics the reason why Jiuding Nengzhen demons, so-called The "three talents" refer to the sky, the earth, and the people. Jiuding is a transformation of nine pillars of heaven, made of copper produced underground, and finally needs to be sacrificed by humans. The three talents are combined to produce divine power, and then assist the "Mountain and Sea Map" "The power of magic, to seal the demons.

"After the loss of Jiuding, he came up with a way to replace Jiuding, that is, adding four geo-dimensional dimensions and implanting the bones into the human body. It still requires the combination of three talents to achieve a small part of Jiuding's effect.

"But there is no way to reproduce infrasound waves in this way, so I speculate that the effect of the bones may be just a seal, so that the ghosts cannot break out of the ground for a while, and Jiuding has a striking effect. The strike and seal can be used to travel from the Xia Dynasty to the Warring States Period. At the end of this long period of time, the demons were steadily suppressed underground, and there was no need to use people to sacrifice in the middle.

"And with only the sealing function of the skeleton, there is no way to suppress the demon for a long time, so every hundred years, the power of the skeleton will be weakened or even disappear. Therefore, the expert said that after a hundred years of spiritual consciousness exhaustion, the demon will come back. I I think that the skeletal image has the characteristic of being passed down every 100 years, and it was set by this expert, and this has caused this incident in which 13 people who deserve to be drawn into the painting every 100 years."

"It is mentioned in the memorandum that follows," Zhu Haowen continued, "The place marked on the "Shan Hai Yin Jing Tu" painted by this master for his disciple is the place where the illusion of painting is generated. It seems that this "Shan Hai Yin Jing" "Yin Jing Tu" is actually the place covered by the whole piece of'light' characters."

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

"That's really a coincidence," Ke Xun said. "It is equivalent to the so-called'weakest part of the connection between yin and yang' in these memorandums. The connection is exactly the word'light', not because the word'light' can be suppressed. The power of the magic spell of the ghosts, so the talents chose this word to suppress the ghosts-is this too coincidence? It's like... For example, it's like the location of the underground oil production in our country is connected to the same'oil' The words are the same, why are they so coincidental, they are exactly one word when they are connected?"

"Your question, I think I can try to explain it," Mu Yiran looked at him, "Also, the mystery of the sequence of the petroglyphs on the four sides that we have been unable to solve before has a real answer."
