Chapter 68 The Imperial Court

"This is a symbol of the imperial gift of the Shuoming court. It seems that Qin Nianshan was very honored when he was a palace musician in the past."

Putting down the wooden box on the spot, Xu Zhuo said as he reached out to lift the lid. There were several books inside, a long brass box and a booklet.

"Appreciation of Ancient Words", "Embers Texts", "History in the Dust"

"It's not enough to change jobs into wizards, and you still have to play a guest role as an ancient writer?"

After scanning the names of the three books, Lu Jing turned to pick up the copper box next to it and opened it. A light blue white jade flute stored inside it was extremely exquisite, but it was even more gentle and greasy in his hand. You don’t have to think about it and know the texture is extraordinary.

"Can you show it to me?"

Fu Ju, who had been invading the craftsmanship for a long time, opened his eyes widened when he saw the jade flute, took it from Lu Jing, looked it carefully, and said excitedly after a while,

"It's indeed a warm bamboo jade. This is a jadeware specially managed by the court. It has a transparent appearance and is light blue. It is warm and warm to get it... It is rumored that this kind of jade is only produced in a few special jade ores. It can sell at least one gold leaf if it is a piece the size of a thumb. For example, this kind of refined finished jade flute starts with at least ten gold leaves. Moreover, this kind of jade flute is said to have a certain special ability in nature, but no one has been able to really discover it. Only court musicians of the level of Qinnianshan are qualified to be given this treasure."

"Put it away and find a place to take action in the future."

Lu Jing handed the bronze box to Fu Ju and asked her to put the treasure jade flute back. He didn't care whether it was someone else's treasure or not. These human-faced rats almost broke all three of them into it through the music created by Qin Nianshan, so they naturally had to ask for some compensation, so this thing belongs to him now!

No matter what, this trip was finally not in vain.

Putting away the jade flute, the three of them turned their attention to the last item in the box.

The cover of this palm-sized booklet is made of a common leather case. Lu Jing reached out and prepared to take it out. Unexpectedly, the familiar trembling feeling suddenly came to his mind. He hurriedly put the booklet back and looked at the two people beside him and said,

"This thing is not suitable for opening here, let's go back first!"

......

The three people who returned to the inn gathered in Lu Jing's room. In order to prevent accidents, Lu Jing deliberately asked the two to stand away from him, so he carefully opened the book. When he saw the things in it, Lu Jing couldn't help but feel a little confused on his face.

The strange feeling of being in contact with this booklet just now made Lu Jing subconsciously think that the booklet had some special objects in it, so he carefully chose to go back to the inn first. After opening it, he found that there were only a few folded sheets of paper painted with various strange patterns or symbols.

After spreading them on the table, Lu Jing glanced a few roughly, realizing that he could not understand the meaning of the symbols above, he scratched his head and had to raise his hand to signal the two people next to him to lean forward to study together.

"This kind of paper is rubbing paper... Why did Qin Nianshan write these things on this kind of paper?"

Fu Ju also found it difficult to understand the words on the paper, but she immediately recognized the origin of the paper after twisting it with her fingers.

"Rubbing paper?"

"Simply put, it is used to print papers such as text or design drawings. This paper is characterized by translucency. Putting them on books or wooden boards can make it clearer to see the patterns below, which is convenient for rubbing with charcoal pen. In theory, this kind of paper is rarely used to write things because they are very thin and will cause damage if you are not careful, unless... I understand that the contents on these sheets were printed by Qin Nianshan from a book or something. Because these patterns are extremely complex and not said, and the meaning is unclear, so in order to ensure that there is no omission, he can only keep the rubbing paper!"

After explaining it normally, Fu Ju suddenly realized a certain possibility and said hurriedly.

"You mean the content on these sheets of paper comes from other places... Is it possible that the books on ancient characters placed in the box were prepared to translate these symbols?"

He picked up the book "Appreciation of Ancient Words", and Lu Jing opened it casually. There were a lot of annotations on the pages inside. It was obvious that Qin Nianshan had conducted special research on this. After thinking about it, he turned to look at Xu Zhuo beside him.

"Is it possible to translate these contents through the annotations in these books?"

Lu Jing asked himself that he knew nothing about this kind of translation work, and Fu Ju probably wouldn't be much better, so he could only rely on Xu Zhuo.

"No need to be so troublesome. Qin Nianshan has actually written down everything and wrote it here."

Xu Zhuo put the book "History in the Dust" on the table, then lifted the back, and most of the books had blank pages at the end, and this book was no exception. At this time, a large paragraph of text had been written on it, which contained a small part of the translation content and Qin Nianshan's personal thoughts or explanations.

"Creation requires inspiration, and inspiration is the most important thing. I am old and too old... I need new inspiration. I need great existence to give me dreams. I have experienced it when I was young... In order to re-understand that kind of dream, I must find a way to contact those indescribable..."

"The day when the moon is covered, the filthy flesh and blood... magic array, yes, the magic array that summons them... why didn't the magic array that dispel them?"

"I have been inspired, but what should those monsters do... They are here again, right in the corner of the wall, and the disgusting face, I can no longer bear it... I should have excerpted more, those slabs are really not what people should read, chronicles... I can't think too much about the slabs in the temple, I want to forget them!"

"It's too late... they want me to fulfill the promises I made when calling them, great beings. If you still look at me, please give me a clear way... I am willing to give you everything... Ah, I thought, I want to write a song for you..."

The first half of the paragraph is quite normal, and the writing logic is very clear, but as the description continues, some of the subsequent records are obviously confused.

"Should I say that his dedication to art is really great, or should I despise this guy for making a deal with those monsters in order to get inspiration?"

Judging from the complete content, the situation is already clear. In order to obtain the so-called "inspiration", Qin Nianshan summoned human-faced rats through the content on paper. Although he got what he wanted after contacting them, it was a pity that it was easy to ask God to send him away. An ordinary person dealt with these monsters, and the result was self-evident.

After deducting most of the useless information, including those evil magic circles, Lu Jing also wrote down some important content from it.

Qinnian Mountain calls indescribable monsters with its body as a mortal. Its ability comes from the stone slabs in a certain palace, and this is only a small part of it!

A palace that court musicians can access.

Where else can it be?
