Chapter 677 Shipwreck Notes
Shocked, Kuangji stepped forward to the booth where the leather was sold.

"Huh? It's Kuangji! Why, are you also interested in these things?" Jin Chang asked with a smile when he saw Kuangji.

"Old Jin, Mr. Yu said that you found some special symbols, like some kind of ancient handwriting, I am really curious, but what I am most interested in is the leather itself, how could they have been soaked in seawater for thousands of years and have not been cleaned?" Completely corroded?" Kuang Ji ran his fingers across a pile of leather while asking questions.

There was no abnormality in the leather, even though Kuang Ji's spiritual sense and real essence were double-tested, there was no fluctuation on it. Obviously, these leathers were ordinary things, not what Kuang Ji imagined left by the monks.

Just when Kuang Ji was about to further interpret the writing on the leather, Jin Chang picked up two completely different pieces of leather and explained.

"Kuang Ji, look at these two pieces of leather, do you find any difference between them?" After asking, without waiting for Kuang Ji to speak, Jin Chang pointed to the first piece of leather and said: "This piece of leather is more severely corroded, because it It has not been specially treated. It originally had some hairs on it, but it has been soaked in seawater for thousands of years, so it has become the current black color."

Jin Chang put down the first piece of leather, pointed to the second one and explained: "This piece of leather is obviously much smoother. It has been corroded for thousands of years, but many traces can still be seen."

Having said that, Jin Chang paused for a moment, rubbing his hands between the two kinds of leather, and at the same time sighed.

"These two kinds of leather should have been placed separately, but now they are stacked together and it is difficult to distinguish, and the untreated leather has obviously affected the treated leather, and some symbols on it have also been covered and corroded. Just think about it." It makes people feel heartbroken." Jin Chang sighed helplessly.

After listening to Jin Chang's explanation, Kuang Ji understood a little bit, but he still had a lot of doubts about the special symbols on it, that is, the handwriting of the Chaos Period.

"Mr. Jin, I remember that Jinshiwen was a very popular ancient script in the Song Dynasty, but it is completely different from the ones on the leather. What period do you think the symbols on the leather are from, and why did they appear on the leather in the Song Dynasty? Kuang Jiming knew that the symbols on the leather were written in the chaotic period, but he still asked Jinchang tentatively.

Hearing Kuang Ji's question, Jin Chang was stunned for a moment, then surprised, and said, "I didn't expect you to study ancient characters!" Jin Chang's tone was a little appreciative.

"Our country of China has a long history. From the beginning of human civilization, characters have been throughout history. From the earliest hieroglyphic oracle bone inscriptions to the current simplified characters, characters are always changing. Take the symbols on this leather as an example. , which looks like ghost symbols, but is actually related to some oracle bone inscriptions. However, there are still many oracle bone inscriptions that have not been deciphered, so this kind of writing is even more difficult to understand. We have collected many such symbols, but because There are too few references, so there has been no progress." Jin Changwei said.

"Old Jin, is the text you mentioned the spiritual script that was circulated in private? Could it be that these symbols on the leather are the spiritual script?" At this time, Yu Changdong who was listening carefully asked suddenly.

It is true that Yu Changdong is a businessman, but he is also a senior lover of ancient characters. He has dabbled in oracle bones, seal script, bronze inscriptions, and inscriptions on stone inscriptions.In recent years, a kind of research on spiritual writing has suddenly become popular in the world of ancient characters. Although he has heard of it, he has never seen it. After all, spiritual writing is rare and more difficult to decipher than oracle bone writing, so it is only circulated among a few people.

Hearing Yu Changdong's question, Jin Chang smiled and said: "This is indeed called Lingwen, but it is also called by some people in private, just for convenience. This kind of Lingwen seems very special. At first, people didn't know it. I didn’t notice it. It’s just that many have been discovered one after another in recent years, and some people have found some clues related to the characters, and they were gradually classified into the category of ancient characters. Alas, unfortunately, there are too few clues. There are only a few characters that have been deciphered so far. Now some people have offered a reward in private to decipher a word of one million, but the results have been negligible."

"I also know the news. I heard that the deciphered spiritual text is very magical. A symbol can express many meanings, and it seems to involve some kind of mystery. That's why someone offered a huge reward for deciphering it." Yu Changdong said.

"Hehe, I have seen one of the deciphered symbols. It is indeed a bit magical, but it is not that exaggerated. Maybe it is because too few deciphered symbols have not really shown the charm of the spiritual text, but I believe that as more and more The more you find out, this kind of spiritual text will eventually reveal its true face one day." Jin Chang said with a smile.

Lingwen is the text of the chaotic period, and every symbol is a gift from heaven, representing the power of heaven, and it is inevitable that it is a little magical.But if you want to completely decipher it, I am afraid it will be impossible in a short period of time. Otherwise, with the 5000-year history of Huaguo, how can you only know the meaning of the few spiritual texts until now!
It was the first time Yu Changdong saw Lingwen, and he was more interested than anyone else. He also went forward and rummaged through a pile of leathers. After a while, he found a piece of leather full of Lingwen, and he was in a great mood. Excited.

Kuang Ji didn't ask any more questions. He searched with his spiritual sense, which was naturally much faster than ordinary people. In just a few minutes, he found almost all the leather that recorded the spiritual text.

"There are ten pieces of leather that record spiritual texts, and the size and format are exactly the same. Maybe this is a set of books." Jin Chang looked extremely excited. If there were no outsiders present, he would almost be addicted to it.

"It's a pity that we can't decipher the above meaning, otherwise we might discover the real mystery of the spiritual script." Yu Changdong said regretfully.

"Hehe, I will be satisfied if I can find these spiritual texts. The study of ancient characters is not a one-time thing. If I can decipher a few spiritual texts in my lifetime, I can die with peace." Jin Chang stroked the symbols on the leather, his eyes full of affection .

Jin Chang and Yu Changdong looked through the ten leathers one after another, and then Kuang Ji took them and looked at them.

The order of the ten spiritual inscriptions was not clearly recorded, but Kuang Ji knew the handwriting on them, so he quickly sorted them out secretly and began to read them carefully.

The spirit text was not written, but carved with a special tool, which should be a carving knife or something, and it feels a little bumpy to the touch.Some writings were corroded by the sea water, making them look blurry, and some writings were stained with untreated leather fur, and the writings became extremely black, with only faint traces of depiction visible.Fortunately, Kuang Ji's consciousness can penetrate into the leather, so it does not affect his reading.

Kuang Ji browsed quickly. In the eyes of outsiders, he just browsed casually. In fact, he already understood all the meanings of the above records.

"It's really hard to find anywhere. I didn't expect this to be a sailing diary, and it really involved practitioners. Now I finally understand." Kuang Ji looked suddenly enlightened. The doubts in my heart were gradually solved one by one.
