Chapter 1400: Chapter 1449: First Grade Four Realms
Li Yifei recounted the process to Yao Lingfu, who remained silent for a long ti. Just as Li Yifei was about to ask, Yao Lingfu let out a breath and said, "Kid, you’ve struck it big."
Li Yifei said in confusion, "Ah? Elder Yao, what do you an by that?"
Yao Lingfu replied, "Do you know what this stone you’ve got is called?"
"Of course not, but it’s indeed quite magical. It changes color when it touches water, revealing the words on it."
Yao Lingfu urgently said, "Nonsense, this is called Black Gold Stone, a very rare type of stone. And the words on it... if I’m not mistaken, are Bird Trace Script."
Li Yifei raised his eyebrows and said, "What is Bird Trace Script? So kind of text?"
"I told you to read more books, but you didn’t listen... Bird Trace Script is, as legend has it, the text created by Saint Cang Jie. Because it contains many bird-shaped characters, it’s called Bird Trace Script!" Yao Lingfu raised his voice, speaking urgently, "Kid, what kind of luck is this? You actually found the Bird Trace Script. I don’t even know what to say."
Li Yifei felt his heart skip, touched his nose to calm himself down, and asked, "Elder Yao, are you saying I really found Cang Jie’s written legacy?"
"Whether these are Cang Jie’s words, I don’t know, but it’s likely Bird Trace Script, considering the material it’s written on. Characters engraved on stone are easy to preserve, but many have eroded over years due to the elents. However, characters on Black Gold Stone won’t disappear for millennia; its stability is too strong. Without water, it self-protects, and ordinary blades can’t damage it. So, I deduced this is likely the real Bird Trace Script!"
"Then didn’t I just stumble upon a treasure... Wait a minute, even the clan chief doesn’t know what this is. How are you so certain?"
"It’s normal for the clan chief not to know. After so many years, they might not even be sure if they’re Cang Jie’s descendants. As for how I know... hmm, kid, are you underestimating ?" As Yao Lingfu’s voice chilled near the end, Li Yifei quickly shook his head in denial on the phone, saying, "No, absolutely not. What I an is... Elder Yao is too amazing to know about Bird Trace Script."
"It’s your ignorance. As a master, how can you not know your country’s history? People like Murong Yuanqing possess a lot of secret knowledge. Anyway, keep the Bird Trace Script safe. Although I know it’s Bird Trace Script, I don’t know what it says. But I can tell you this; it’s a treasure for a linguist. The characters might seem mundane to us, but a linguist would gain much enlightennt from them."
"You could say this is a linguist’s path to enlightennt. They observe the text and comprehend the truths of the universe and nature. So you say, kid, how lucky you are to have obtained the Bird Trace Script. You know, there’s a Stele of Saint Cang’s Bird Trace Script built in the Han Dynasty temple, with 28 curious symbols. These were engraved by Han people; their authenticity remains unknown. But you might have gotten the real Bird Trace Script. Wouldn’t you be happy?"
Overjoyed, Li Yifei nodded quickly and said, "I should be happy, haha. Elder Yao, thank you for clearing this up for . I will keep the stone safe and show it to you when the ti cos."
"Whether I see it or not doesn’t matter. It’s just that, suddenly, I thought, if you gather enough Bird Trace Script, even without a linguist, you could attempt to comprehend it yourself. If successful, you might even resolve the witchcraft within you."
"What? Can I really do that?" Li Yifei was shocked.
Yao Lingfu’s next words were a blow, "The premise is you must find enough Bird Trace Script, and coincidentally, the corresponding character can offer the solution to your witchcraft. Moreover, you need to understand the thod of deciphering them, or else the characters will be useless to you. Witchcraft isn’t easy to handle, and a linguist is even harder to find."
Li Yifei smacked his lips a few tis, let out an "uh
