Lin Zhongxiu made a phone call for nearly ten minutes before saying to Fan Jiannan, "Okay, I have already made an appointment with Lao Long. The day after tomorrow, he will come to Hong Kong to meet us."

"It's better to make an appointment at another place. The Tianji Pavilion is too conspicuous now, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at it in the dark." Fan Jiannan sighed.

Lin Zhongxiu nodded and said, "Long Ge is an old Jianghu, he has thought of this a long time ago. Therefore, the place we agreed on is not in the Tianji Pavilion, but in other places. We will meet in crowded public places, and it is difficult be recognized by others."

"Is there such a place?" Long Boldly frowned.

"Yes, this year's Hong Kong Video Game Animation Festival will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center the day after tomorrow. There will be a lot of people, and Long Ge will meet us at the animation festival." Lin Zhongxiu smiled slightly.

Long Bold couldn't help laughing and said, "Anime Expo? I forgot, it seems to be your hobby. I didn't expect the little old man Long Ge to have this kind of interest."

"The more unexpected, the safer." Lin Zhongxiu shrugged.

"Fan Jiannan is fine. His Armor-Dunning Technique is elusive, and there are very few people who can keep an eye on him. How do we go?" Long Boldly frowned.

Lin Zhongxiu smiled slightly and said, "Don't you know that there is a very important program at the Anime Festival called COSPLAY? At that time, there will be many fans playing different anime characters. We can also mix in it."

"Isn't it? Wearing that kind of strange clothes, making a show, it's just for little girls to play with. How could I..." Long Bold was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help shaking his head.

Fan Jiannan rolled his eyes and said, "No problem, you can dress up as the kind of doctor that is common in Japanese anime, a bit of a lecherous uncle. Feng Yuan and Axiu are easy to deal with, and you can pretend to be an anime beauty with just any makeup It's more convenient for Cang Yunxiao, since he can't let go of his bow all day long, so I'll just dress up as Green Arrow."

"What kind of crooked idea is this, uncle? Do I look like an uncle?" Long Boldly dissatisfied.

Feng Yuan and Lin Zhongxiu laughed so hard they couldn't straighten up.

Fan Jiannan smiled and waved his hands and said, "Forget it, stop joking. Don't go, I have a small goal and it is easier to move. I have a way to avoid everyone's eyes and ears. You must stay in the Tianji Pavilion. Because I can't Bring the jade talisman to find Long Ge, and I can only bring the picture of the rubbing. At that time, I will restore all the formations in the Tianji Hall, and the only remaining jade talisman and my father will be left behind by you. This time We can't have any more surprises."

Cang Yunxiao shook his head and said, "It's best if I go with you. That Chong Ersi from Dongmi Moli Tianben Dao is covered in that kind of weird scarab all over his body. If it comes to him, I'm afraid you have no chance of winning."

"It's okay. I will try to avoid anyone. It is ideal to use my armor-shielding technique in a crowd. As long as there are enough people on that day, I will be sure to be invisible." Fan Jiannan nodded and said, " The main thing is to be stealthy, not directly confronted."

The Hong Kong Game & Animation Festival is very popular in Hong Kong. In the early hours of that day, many animation enthusiasts lined up outside the venue just to buy limited edition animation models.When the exhibition hall opened, it was even more crowded, and the booths were almost full of people.Fan Jiannan walked into the exhibition hall among the crowd, but the people around him knew nothing about his existence.This crowded crowd gave him the space to give full play to his Dunjia technique.

Everyone around is unconsciously becoming a corner of a huge magic circle, but they are not aware of it.Fan Jiannan walked forward, stepping on the predetermined position with every step.This makes his figure completely above the visual blind spots of those around him.

He quickly found the agreed place, the hand-made exhibition hall.Most of the displays here are the latest works of well-known figure manufacturers.It can be said that all of them are high-quality goods, with different characters and gorgeous costumes.Of course, the price is definitely not cheap.

A fat old man with a bald head seemed to be browsing these high-quality handicrafts, but he was paying attention to the surrounding situation from the corner of his eyes. It was Long Ge, the celestial master.He soon felt something, looked back, but did not find Fan Jiannan.He seemed a little strange, and was about to come over to see what happened.Fan Jiannan smiled softly in his ear, "Professor Long, unexpectedly he is also interested in these things."

Long Ge's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm. He just said in a low voice, "Fan Jiannan, are you trying to scare me to death?"

The two walked to a secluded place pretending to have nothing to do with each other. Fan Jiannan joked, "Professor Long, you are a fearless character. What else can scare you."

"An International Yishu Council is enough. I am not as courageous as you said." Long Ge sighed. "By the way, what on earth are you looking for me for? Lin Zhongxiu said it so seriously, I can't be careless."

Fan Jiannan looked around, frowned and said, "Let's find a place where no one is around to talk."

Long Ge nodded, and the two of them walked up the stairs to the roof of the building together. "Okay, can we talk here?" Long Ge said with a smile.

"Look at this first." Fan Jiannan handed a piece of paper to Long Ge.

Looking at the rubbing pattern on the paper, Long Ge slightly frowned and asked, "Where did this come from?"

"I can't say it yet, because I don't want to involve you." Fan Jiannan sighed, "Just tell me what's going on with the patterns and lines on it."

Long Ge took out the glasses from his pocket and put them on. After looking at them for a long time, he said, "This is writing, and it is a very ancient type. Several representative graphics inside have appeared on some ancient pottery. Judging from the shape of the characters , the degree of pictography is very high, between graphics and characters. So I judge that the appearance of this kind of glyphs is at least before the bronze inscriptions and oracle bone inscriptions."

Fan Jiannan whispered, "Could this be the legendary golden seal and jade letter?"

Long Ge frowned and said, "I don't know, but why do I feel familiar with this thing? Let me think about it, it seems to be a bit like the pottery characters that appeared in the Pengtou Mountain civilization on the Dongting Lake Plain in China 9000 years ago. Among them, this character, and that shape, were found on some kind of stone tablet decoration. The age of this thing should be very old."

"Then can you understand the meaning of these symbols?" Fan Jiannan frowned. '

Long Ge thought for a while and said, "The golden seal and jade letter you mentioned reminds me of a legend."

"What kind of legend?" Fan Jiannan asked immediately.

"You know that in ancient times, it was almost the same all over the world. Characters were not universal, but were mastered by special personnel and passed down. The inheritors of these characters were the social elites at that time, and they had a transcendent status. And in In China, these people are usually so-called shamans, who specialize in divination and medical treatment. It is said that they once created a very special language called shamanism. It is said that this language itself has the ability to communicate with heaven and earth.” Long Ge said slowly, "Later generations call this kind of writing written in gold seal and jade letters."

"This is too exaggerated." Fan Jiannan frowned.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. When we talk about wizards today, everyone's first reaction is superstition and evil. But don't forget that in primitive society, wizards were the most respected profession. Because under the environment at that time, their real A polymath. From astronomy and calendar to herbalism, he knows everything. Even the tribal leaders bow to them. It's not accidental." Long Ge said seriously.

"In other words, this special character is related to ancient magicians." Fan Jiannan mused.

Long Ge nodded and said, "The civilization of magic arts originated from the Chinese nation, there is no doubt about it. But the Chinese civilization is the only civilization in the history of the world that has not had a priest class. The real ancient witches are some pure Through the practice and summary of countless generations, they explored the unknown mysterious power and passed it down. The most direct and important tool for this inheritance is writing. Wuwen, that is, golden seal and jade letters, It is the text of the ancient wizard."

"So, no one can decipher this kind of writing now?" Fan Jiannan asked.

"Yes!" Long Ge hesitated and said, "According to my research on writing, I can't say absolutely, but basically I can see a general idea. This kind of writing is similar to Shuishu."

"Shuishu? What is that?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

Long Ge said slowly, "Shuishu is a kind of writing that has been circulated among the Shui people of the ethnic minority. As early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the ancient writing of the Shui nationality existed. Most of the records in the Shuishu are the dates and azimuths of primitive religious beliefs. , good and bad omens, and exorcising ghosts and avoiding evil spirits, Shuishu is a tool for wizards to perform rituals. From this, what can you imagine?"

"You mean that Shuishu is Wuwen?" Fan Jiannan said in surprise.

"I can't say that, but at least it can be considered that Shuishu was developed from Wuwen, and there is a very close relationship between the two." Long Ge said slowly, "In areas where the Shui tribes live, people who can understand, read and use The Shui people in Shuishu are called "ghost masters" and commonly known as Mr. Shuishu. They have a high status in the folk and are worshiped by people. Shuishu is an extremely precious treasure handed down from the "ghost master" ancestors. It is only passed down to males and not passed down Girls, they are generally not easily passed on to outsiders. The Shuishi has been handed down orally and hand-copied by generations of ghost masters for thousands of years."

"How do you know this?" Fan Jiannan asked in surprise.

"Because I know one thing. A batch of Xia Dynasty pottery tablets were unearthed that year, and the 24 symbols on them were similar to the figure you gave me. But these symbols have troubled the archaeological community for more than 40 years. Later, relevant units in Hen Province saw the water book After the report, I provided the Guizhou Provincial Archives Bureau with a request for identification, and found more than a dozen corresponding characters. It is said that they were all recognized by a Mr. Shui Shu at the time." Long Ge said slowly.

"You mean Mr. Shuishu who is proficient in Shuishu, or able to decipher these symbols?" Fan Jiannan asked in surprise. "But where can we find such a person who is proficient in water books?"

"Actually, I am one of them." Long Ge said with a faint smile, "The Mr. Shui Shu who deciphered the pottery tablets of the Xia Dynasty was my grandfather."
