Chapter 167: Mystery
Many old books on Mount God of Heaven were written in this ancient language, so Jiang Yun naturally understood it.
“What is this?” Qin Xiaoxi was completely unable to understand it.
“It says that the arrival of God shook the area in this region, and the cold winter has gathered in the clothing. Wanting to know how the Divine Region is connected from afar, it has seven stars and four points…” Jiang Yun was stunned when he finished reading it. Until now, Jiang Yun had no idea what these verses meant. This was completely different from the ancient poetry style that he knew, the most important thing was that even the last two words became blurry.
“You can understand it this time as well.” Qin Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Yun in astonishment.
Jiang Yun nodded.
“This is the ancient language before the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. Some of the books in Mount God of Heaven were created using this ancient language. They are all products of this era.” Fortunately, his master had studied these ancient books with him, otherwise, he would not be able to understand a single word today.
“Mount God of Heaven actually teaches translation. How amazing.”
Jiang Yun smiled. Then, he looked at the words on the stone wall and couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
“The arrival of God shook the area in this region… do you think this means that the Frost Dragon came to the Northern Region?” Qin Xiaoxi speculated.
“That’s probably what it means. The arrival of God shook the area in this region, and the cold winter has gathered in the clothing. It is indeed what you said. With the Frost Dragon’s huge size, it must be carrying a world-shaking power of extreme cold. It was once worshipped by the natives of the Northern Region as a supreme god. After the arrival of this Northern Region dragon, although it brought along the cold winter, it also protected their safety…”
Jiang Yun explained.
“But, what does the second verse ‘gathered in the clothing’ mean? That’s a very strange phrase. Could it be that the power of the extreme cold has entered their clothes?” Qin Xiaoxi could not help but feel very strange, the second verse sounded weird no matter how she listened to it.
“I feel the same way. The appearance of the second verse is indeed very strange. However, we can not rule out that this should be a special name for something in the Northern Region. It might really be the clothes you mentioned.” Jiang Yun held his chin with one hand, he looked at the two verses of the poem back and forth.
“How strange.”
“The first two verses should be a very ordinary description. However, these last two verses… wanting to know how the Divine Region is connected from afar, it has seven stars and four points… what do these seven stars and four points mean? And what are the last two vague words?”
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun fell into a difficult situation.
“The verse ‘wanting to know how the Divine Region is connected from afar’, must mean that I want to know how the Divine Region is connected from afar, but what is this poem trying to tell me?”
“Wanting to know from afar… know from afar… why is it wanting to know from afar? Could it be that in a place like the Northern Region, the people of the ancient Northern Region don’t think that they are very close to the god?” Qin Xiaoxi also fell into deep thought with Jiang Yun.
“This sentence should be a rhetorical question. They want to tell us a proposal,” Jiang Yun said.
“So, if that’s the case, the most important sentence should be the last verse here.” Qin Xiaoxi guessed.
“That’s true, but I can’t see the last three words clearly, and I don’t know what the seven stars and four points are.” Jiang Yun felt a little helpless. Was he really going to be trapped here? He carefully observed the last word, which seemed to be the word “body”. But he couldn’t make any sense out of the first two words…
Qin Xiaoxi carefully observed the mural on the stone door again.
“Do you think that behind this door is the Divine Region mentioned in the poem, and the last sentence of the poem is the method to open this stone door?” Qin Xiaoxi made a bold guess. “Is it possible that this door is not just a trap mechanism? Think about it. We tried to use spiritual power but we weren’t able to open it.”
“What did you say? Say it again.” At that moment, Jiang Yun seemed to have heard something very important, and he stopped Qin Xiaoxi.
“Ah? Think about it. We tried to use spiritual power but we weren’t able to open it.” Qin Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Yun with a strange expression.
“No, the sentence before the last.” Jiang Yun was focused on studying the verse “seven stars and four dots” and the last word. He was not sure what Qin Xiaoxi had just said.
“Is it possible that this door is not just a trap mechanism?”
“That’s it… it is not just a trap mechanism. Xiaoxi, you are right. These four lines of poetry are just a puzzle of this door. I am too focused on what the four lines of poetry are expressing.” Jiang Yun slapped his forehead in realization.
“What are your findings?”
“The hints in the first three verses are very obvious. It is telling us that this is the location of the righteous path. ‘The arrival of God shook the area in this region’ then take a look at the first picture. The Frost Dragon is standing on the top of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain. The surrounding evil dragons are attacking and the Frost Dragon is fighting against them. Doesn’t this represent the portion ‘shook the area in this region’ of the first verse?”
“That makes sense.” Qin Xiaoxi was enlightened after listening to Jiang Yun’s explanation.
“Then, ‘the cold winter has gathered in the clothing’… the word did not mean clothing. This should be a special way of writing the ancient language of the Northern Region. Look at the third carving. The Frost Dragon used its spiritual power to create the Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma. This should be the meaning of the second verse. The Holy Saint Snow Ganoderma has such a powerful effect because of the extremely cold winter power in the Frost Dragon’s body!” Jiang Yun hurriedly walked to the third carving.
“Look… the patterns on this carving are the power of winter.”
Jiang Yun voiced out his thoughts and then came to the picture in the middle of the stone door. It was a picture of many small people surrounding the sacrificial ceremony.
“Wanting to know how the Divine Region is connected from afar. This is a fantasy of the people of the Northern Region about the Holy Saint Snow Mountain that the Frost Dragon had set foot on. This Holy Saint Snow Mountain is far behind the group of people in the painting. The peak of the mountain goes straight into the clouds. This means that many of them have no way to climb up this cold and lofty Holy Saint Snow Mountain by themselves. Therefore, this place was considered the Divine Region by the people of the Northern Region in ancient times. And this door is the door leading to the top of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain!”
Qin Xiaoxi nodded as well. This explained everything.
“So, how do we get in if we haven’t found it yet?” Qin Xiaoxi was still confused.
“Look at the picture in the middle.”
“Huh?” When Qin Xiaoxi heard this she rushed forward quickly. “Isn’t this just a painting of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain and a group of people from the Northern Region? What is strange about it?”
