Gu Jun's fingers caressed the cover of the spell book. The antique paper felt unfamiliar to the touch. He flipped to the first page, and there was a line of words written on it. It looked like the book's title. The words looked like Chinese, but they were not in large or small seal script or traditional or simplified Chinese. Instead, they were written in a strange font, and Gu Jun could recognize them.
Seven Cryptical Book of Hsan.
In the long river of time, this spell book must have had many names. This made its original name hard to find, and the identity of the author was hard to find.
"This kind of font?" Gu Jun looked at Wu Shiyu, but the latter shook her head. "This is the first time I've seen it. We don't have this kind of font in our world."
She took another bite of the bread. Even though the bread looked plain, the texture and taste were not bad. It even made her feel like there was music playing in her ears. However, the name of this spell book made her feel like she was staring into an abyss.
Elder Huihu told Barcé to be careful of it …
"This is the Chinese of Mr. Barcé's world?" Gu Jun had a feeling that even if the old man was from Earth, it was not the world that they were familiar with.
The original spell book should have been written in the Oracle Bone Script. The later versions, no matter what language they used, they were all a kind of re-interpretation.
He flipped through the book first, and to his shock, other than the small part at the beginning, the words on the paper were all blurry like they had been soaked in water.
"Mr. Barcé, what is going on?" Gu Jun flipped through the book and turned to ask Elder Huihu. Even if it was a gift, it did not have to be like this, right?
"This book has one secret chapter after another." Elder Huihu said slowly, "In your eyes, these are blurry words, but in my eyes, they are very clear. If you have not walked the first path, you will not be able to reach the next one. "
Gu Jun understood that it meant that he had to practice chapter by chapter. Immediately, he began to read the first secret chapter.
Even though the words in the spell book were strange, Chen Ge and Wu Shiyu could still recognize them if they worked together. However, the style of the spell book was extremely difficult to understand. For example, "Every action must have a form, the birds must not be lost", "No day, no moon, no sky, no time." When they read it, it felt like they could recognize every single word, but when they were put together, they had no idea what they meant.
"It's exactly the same as the names of the western medicines I've seen," Wu Shiyu described.
"The name of a drug has a chemical structure. This one doesn't seem to have one." Gu Jun said. He was reminded of what Professor Orlem had taught him in the illusion. A spell book had its own spirit and life. Old Barcé had said the same thing. Lenton had also said in the spell book notebook that the words written were not important.
The key was the power in the words, which could be touched and felt with one's spirit.
"Just give it a try," Gu Jun told Wu Shiyu. If there was anything wrong, he had to wake him up.
Then he focused his spirit and started to touch the words in the first secret chapter. He did not think about what they meant. He just tried to connect each word to his mind and feel the power that they formed. The name of a drug had a chemical structure, so did the spell.
It was like a living organism.
Gu Jun was suddenly reminded of a theory in biology. Structure determined function.
The structure of the wings determined how to fly, and the structure of the lungs determined how to breathe. This was the difference between humans, birds, and Necro-skins.
The structure of proteins determined the function of enzymes, the structure of DNA determined how genes worked, and the structure of nerves determined how to move and think …
He was reminded of connectomics. Through a comprehensive mapping of the structure of the neural network in the brain and the nervous system, one could understand the operating mechanism of the brain. The so-called 'spirit' might belong to this category … to the extremely complicated synapses, neurons, and networks.
"Let his spirit transform into your spirit, and let his life force transform into your life force."
Gu Jun suddenly understood what Mr. Orlem said. It was not a metaphor; it was a real situation. The power from the secret chapter was resonating with his body.
Studying the spell book would change the structure of the neural network! It was an actual physiological change.
Corpse Ghoul Chen Defa's bones were densely covered in corrosive patterns … Were those similar to some kind of neural circuit?
Gu Jun instantly understood more, and he could feel some shadows moving. This feeling was similar to when they were outside the cave and Chen Defa was inside the cave summoning the giant venomous venomous venomous venomous venomous venomous beings …
"Hmm." Gu Jun came back to his senses. Since he had many questions, he stopped his practice.
"This first secret chapter appears to be a summoning spell," he told Wu Shiyu. "But I have no idea what it is summoning."
Wu Shiyu did not think much of it, but Mr. Huihu seemed to be surprised. He mumbled, "You are very talented."
'If I am talented, then teach me more. 'Gu Jun immediately seized the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Barcé, will practicing the spell book change my mind and body?"
"You already have this understanding?" Huihu looked at him. "You are very talented. Then you should understand, how can a normal mind and body accept supernatural power? The spell book will change you. Whether this change is good or bad, it is up to you to decide. "
Gu Jun scratched his head with a frown. As he expected …
If human beings had enough knowledge in the field of connectomics, if the neural network was as clear as a circuit and not as messy as a spider web …
Then when Phecda dissected the head of the red-robed man from Afterlife Cult and when he dissected Chen Defa, he should have a better understanding of the mutation.
"Mr. Barcé." Therefore, Gu Jun had another question. "If I finish learning a spell book, will I become a completely different existence? Then will I be able to interact with other spell books? "This was probably one of the sacrifices of Doctor Carlop.
"There are many sources of supernatural power." Mr. Huihu said, "You cannot interact with all of them."
Gu Jun nodded slightly. The logic was simple …
The spell books studied by R'yleh cultists were different from those of the zombies, and the zombies were different from those of the foreign civilization.
They had different worships and different sources of power.
Therefore, spell books were divided into different sources of power. Once you decided on one type, you could only focus on that type of power in the future.
"Then what kind of source does the Seven Cryptical Book of Hsan belong to?" He asked again. Earth Gods, Seven Cryptical Book of Hsan?
"Knowing too much will do you no good." Mr. Huihu merely said, "Learning the first chapter will not change you much. You will have to learn the third chapter."
"Oh." Gu Jun was silent. This was similar to applying for a major after the college entrance exam. He had to consider everything carefully and make the choice carefully.
Based on his own situation, learning a spell book that worshipped the Goddess of Life would have been more suitable, but now … he had no other choice.
Then Gu Jun asked a few more questions, but the old man seemed to have reached the end of his sentence. He did not answer.
After him, Wu Shiyu also tried to learn the first chapter. She could feel the sensation of mental contact. Even though it was not as fast as Gu Jun, it was still manageable.
The sea was shrouded in fog. They chatted while reading the spell book. It had been about five to six hours since they boarded the ship when the shadow of an island slowly appeared in the fog. The island was not big, but there was a mountain range in the distance. The reefs by the shore were messy, and the forest was dark and eerie.
Gu Jun narrowed his eyes as he looked at the island before him. He had a feeling that this was the place.
"That is where you are going. Get ready to disembark." Mr. Huihu said lightly, "The storm is coming."
