Hui Shuai Jiao De Xiong Mao
Chapter 73 Student
Gu Shen was stunned for a moment.
Master Chino didn't answer directly, but instead said, "First of all... I can't leave the inner mausoleum. And the array patterns in the outer cemetery of Qingzhong need someone to repair them."
And that person was obviously...
"Me."
Gu Shen was a little helpless, this was something he had already guessed.
Who else could it be besides him?
Master Chino smiled slightly.
"Since you want to repair the array patterns, you will inevitably have to study the ancient texts on those blueprints." Master Chino said softly, "And the only person who can guide you is..."
"You."
Gu Shen understood something.
That's right.
The array pattern blueprints of Qingzhong are all obscure [ancient texts], and these texts are also the secret that Gu Shen has been trying to pursue.
Obviously.
The tomb ghost is an unreliable person.
This guy relies entirely on talent and intuition... it's already a miracle that he can understand the blueprints, but judging from the fact that he built the Qingzhong array patterns in reverse, it's not reliable to ask him for advice.
Compared to before, Master Chino, who truly controls the Qingzhong Grand Array, is the one who "knows".
Last time they met, she didn't tell him why she could understand the blueprints.
However... these are not important.
As long as he can follow behind the tomb keeper and learn ancient texts, that's enough!
These ancient texts will have a direct and close connection with Mr. Turing, as well as the ancient civilization.
"You want to guide me in learning ancient texts?"
Gu Shen's eyes lit up.
"...It's studying the Qingzhong array pattern blueprints." Master Chino shook her head and corrected, "The words 'ancient texts' are too broad, everyone wants to know the secrets hidden in these texts, but even Alan Turing only understood a little. My understanding of these Qingzhong blueprints is half due to spending too much time with them, and half due to the exploratory effect brought about by divination. If it's just teaching the ancient text content on the blueprints, then there's no problem."
"Since you're following me to learn... then you're my student, my disciple."
Chino said slowly, "This is the title I want to give you. I will announce to the public... that you are following me to study in Qingzhong. As for what you are studying, you should understand what to say."
Having said that.
Gu Shen understood immediately, this was indeed a very good "title." Following the tomb keeper to learn divination, so frequent entry into the cemetery was very reasonable, and... very useful.
Without a doubt.
This title is enough to make anyone a "celebrity" in Nagano.
Everyone craves "divination," but they can't get in touch with the tomb keeper, now they can get in touch with the tomb keeper's student.
"But you will attract a lot of trouble."
Master Chino said slowly, "Are you willing to take this title?"
Gu Shen fell into thought.
He didn't agree directly, but slowly asked, "Master Chino, about the price of divination... do the people outside know?"
"No one knows my true appearance except Gu Changzhi."
The tomb keeper gave a sideways answer, "Over the years... you are the first person to see the skin under my black robe."
Gu Shen breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He didn't directly agree, because he was worried... that the cost of practicing divination was so obvious.
If he admitted the identity of the tomb keeper's disciple.
Then if one day he was questioned, he would never be able to do the thing of cutting flesh...
"What do you think?" the tomb keeper asked with a smile.
"I want to learn ancient texts from you... but I also have an idea about entering the mausoleum." Gu Shen said slowly, "How about this..."
Master Chino, hanging upside down on the tree, listened quietly.
Her eyebrows slowly rose.
After listening, she was silent for a long time, and asked, "Are you sure... you want to do this?"
"Since Master, you don't care about having another disciple who practices divination..."
Gu Shen smiled, "Then why is this not feasible?"
...
...
The repair of the array patterns in Qingzhong was not as complicated as imagined.
The tomb keeper took out the [blueprints] for building Qingzhong back then. These [blueprints] were imprinted in the mental world, and floated in front of Gu Shen one by one, tens of thousands of them.
At first glance, it was dazzling.
Upon closer inspection... it was even more dizzying.
Each blueprint was engraved with obscure [ancient texts]. These ancient texts seemed to be different from those on the Red Gate. When Gu Shen read them, he did not directly produce a mental induction.
"According to the Federation's exploration... the [ancient texts] currently known in the five continents are roughly divided into two major types."
"One is rule-type texts, which actively emit mental fluctuations. As long as you read them, you will produce a transcendent induction with the text... such texts are considered to be 'rules' written in plain language."
The tomb keeper said, "And the other type is functional texts. The transcendent induction is very introverted, and you need to carefully understand and experience it to understand the meaning of the text... The texts on the Qingzhong blueprints belong to the latter."
Gu Shen nodded silently.
From this point of view, the ancient texts on the [Red Gate] are the former.
The two are like ice and fire.
The ancient texts on the Guyu Scroll should also be functional texts, which need to be artificially disassembled, read, and understood...
"But all ancient texts have one characteristic. That is, they can only be understood intuitively, not verbally."
Master Chino said seriously, "They cannot be described in words, cannot be transmitted through sound... we are not even sure whether humans really have the ability to pronounce them."
"And due to these characteristics, if you want to learn ancient texts, you need to... visualize."
She said meaningfully, "You should be very familiar with it."
The Four Seasons Wilderness is the result of visualization!
And the reason why Jingzhe and Guyu cannot be taken away... is because of the characteristics of the ancient texts.
The ancient texts on the original scroll cannot be imprinted at all, unless it is a mental genius like Luo Er who can remember and replicate the entire dream.
"Next, I will first transmit to you... the visualization diagram of the first array pattern. This array pattern is located in the center of Qingzhong, the seventh array eye of the giant statue ruins, and it is also the first array pattern we want to repair."
Master Chino waved her hand.
More than a dozen ancient text blueprints floated up with the wind, arrayed very neatly in front of Gu Shen. The ancient texts depicted on these blueprints emitted bursts of brilliance under the guidance of Master Chino's mental power.
Gu Shen sat cross-legged, the surrounding grass and leaves fluttering.
He silently looked at these blueprints, the blazing fire between his eyebrows coiled and lingered.
"This process... will take some time, it may be a bit long. You need to calm down and comprehend it."
The tomb keeper said softly, "After you have completed the comprehension... if you have any questions, I will answer them for you."
"...Okay."
Gu Shen nodded seriously.
The next moment, the brilliance emitted by the blueprints submerged him.
He closed his eyes.
Master Chino, hanging upside down on the tree, also closed her eyes.
Comprehending this blueprint... should take an hour, right?
The wind and clouds surged in the sky above the wilderness.
The tomb keeper prepared to doze off for a while to recuperate her spirit. She had spent her days guarding Qingzhong like this all these years.
However, in less than three minutes.
A voice slowly sounded.
"Master... I have comprehended it."
