Lou Jingou, wearing reading glasses, pondered over the characters drawn by Chu Yao for a long time before he uttered a sentence.

"Little girl, where did you get these ghost talismans to embarrass an old man like me?"

"Mr. Lou doesn't know this kind of character either?" Chu Yao pondered, then this must be a character invented by the Qiming Society.

Mr. Lou took off his reading glasses, shook his head slowly, and said: "I am a Feng Shui master, not a linguistics expert. It would be strange if I can understand it. But I can give you a direction."

"Appreciate further details."

"Speaking of linguistics, girl, aren't you a top student at Imperial University? You can go to your school's linguistics professor to give you some advice." Lou Jingou said with a smile, "I do have an old friend, that's you. A professor from the School of Chinese Language and Literature of the school. But, he is usually very busy, so if you want to ask him for help, my old man’s favor is not enough.”

Chu Yao understood what he meant as soon as he heard it. If he wanted to find this linguistics professor to decipher the characters, he would definitely have to pay something.

He teaches at Imperial University and is neither short of money nor connections, unless he encounters metaphysical problems that require a Feng Shui master to solve.

"Does his family need to be cared for or to exorcise ghosts?" Chu Yao asked with a smile.

"None of them." Lou Jingou shook his head in denial, "His family affairs are in trouble. If Kanyu can drive away ghosts, I can solve it myself. It will be very convenient for me to introduce you to the girl. However, as a Feng Shui master, it is not He can solve all the problems in the world. This is his address, you'd better go and visit him in person."

"I understand, thank you Mr. Lou for your advice." Chu Yao thanked him.

"Hey, you're welcome. After all, girl, what you want to do may also be my wish." Lou Jingou waved his hand and asked again, "By the way, these characters are related to the Qiming Society, right? Are you from Where did you get it?”

Chu Yao didn't want to expose his eyes, so he said, "I saw it from the notes of the master of Xuanwu Hall."

"You mean Wu Mingda and Wu Kaiji, haha, they are Qin Yuwu's adopted sons, so it's not surprising that they know this kind of writing." Lou Jingou said with a smile.

"They are Qin Wu's adopted sons?" Chu Yao frowned. She felt that she had grasped a key clue.

"Oh? You don't know yet?" Lou Jingou was a little surprised, "Didn't I tell you that after Chenmen became the Qiming Society, three hall masters were changed. The later Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu were actually all Qin Wu An adopted child. I once heard someone from Qinglong Hall say that the evil method they practice is written in a language that no one else can understand. Maybe only Qin Wu and these three people can recognize it."

Chu Yao lowered his eyes and pondered. Among the three people, only Zhuque had never been in contact with her. Could it be that Zhuque was the "Ms. Qin" who paid alimony to Qin Wu? But the nurse at Anding Hospital once said that she had been in a car accident. , and never paid the fee again.

There is a contradiction in this. If Suzaku is dead, she will no longer be in charge of last year's ghost market. If she is not dead, it means that she is not Ms. Qin.

"Does Qin Wu have a daughter?" Chu Yao asked.

"Yes, he and Headmaster Lu's daughter died at a young age, and they never had any heirs." Lou Jingou sighed.

At that time, Lu Qingxue had not yet inherited the position of leader, and Qiminghui was still the Chen Clan. Lou Jingou still remembered that cute little girl Yuxue, who was well-behaved and sensible.

The clues were messed up again. Chu Yao said goodbye to Lou Jingou for the time being and went to the address he gave.

Professor Ye's home is very close to Imperial University. It is a three-story European-style villa. Chu Yao rang the electronic doorbell.

Professor Ye was studying literature at home when he suddenly saw a little girl appear on the video doorbell and said in confusion: "Little girl, I am on vacation recently and I will not accept graduate students. Please come back."

"Hello, Professor Ye, I was introduced by Mr. Lou. My name is Chu Yao." Chu Yao replied.

"Introduced by Mr. Lou?" Professor Ye was a little surprised. Are all Feng Shui masters so young nowadays?

He personally came to the door of the courtyard and welcomed Chu Yao in.

"Hello, Chu..."

Professor Ye was in trouble when it came to the title. This little girl looked several years younger than his own daughter. Do you want to call her Master Chu?

"You can just call me Chu Yao, or Xiao Chu." Chu Yao said with a slight smile.

"Okay, Xiao Chu. I'm very grateful that you can help me, but what reward can I give you?" Professor Ye asked puzzledly. Feng Shui masters are much richer than him, and Feng Shui masters need He doesn't have any magical weapons either.

"Can you decipher these words?" Chu Yao handed over the characters she copied.

"This is..." As soon as he saw a field he was familiar with, Professor Ye's eyes lit up, he raised his glasses, and began to decipher each word.

"Where did you find this? I've never seen it before!" Professor Ye asked excitedly.

"I saw it in an ancient book about Feng Shui. I guess it might be some kind of spell." Chu Yao replied.

"Oh, let me tell you, this kind of writing doesn't exist in today's world at all. However, it takes a lot of effort to decipher it."

"You have never seen this kind of writing, but you can still decipher it?" Chu Yao was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Writing can be divided into ideograms, phonetic scripts and phonetic scripts. Our Chinese is the phonetic script that evolved from ideographic scripts." Professor Ye slowly analyzed.

"I have observed the characters you provided. They are more like hieroglyphs, which are commonly known as hieroglyphs. And these characters must have been processed by someone who can speak this language and Chinese. You see , they form a sentence of every four words, and a paragraph of every four sentences.”

"Among them, the first two characters in the first sentence of each paragraph are exactly the same. I guess these two characters are only used to symbolize "start" and have no specific meaning. And many of the remaining characters are They appear repeatedly. If you give me a month, I may be able to deduce the meaning of these repeated words. However, because there is no comparison table, it may still be difficult to decipher the meaning of the sentence. "

Chu Yao's heart moved, and she silently wrote another type of text on the paper. It was the character she saw on the Nine-Headed Ghost Mother, but it was completely different from what Qin Wu remembered.

"Sanskrit? You can write Sanskrit?" Professor Ye asked in shock.

"No, I also saw this in the same book. Is there any correspondence between them?" Chu Yao asked.
