Chapter 61: The power of the token, passing through the door without getting in(1/2)
"Tell me more!"
"Tietou, why are you so nervous? It's nothing..." Before Wang Andao could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred.
The empty hall showed its true appearance, and lines of golden fonts emerged in mid-air.
"Purify the body with fire, eliminate evil desires, and then experience three disasters and nine tribulations before you can..."
Before Wang Andao finished reading, Tie Tang locked his shoulders with his hands and pulled him over.
"First tell me about the token."
Nowadays, Tie Tang doesn't pay attention to the so-called trials at all.
His mind was completely seduced by the token, and he wanted to pry into the truth of the unsolved case and find out the mastermind behind the murder of his predecessor.
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet..."
"Old Wang, this matter is extremely important to me!" Tie Tang's tone was solemn and his expression was firm.
Seeing his appearance, Wang Andao stopped playing and became serious.
"This token is nothing big. It's just a thing used to prove your identity. It has the same effect as your waist badge, but it lacks some functions."
Tie Tang picked up the token and looked at it: "Who owns this? What identity does it prove? Is this a trial?"
"Yes...and no!"
"How to say?"
"This token does prove your identity in the trial, but it was not originally."
"I don't quite understand." Tie Tang was a little confused.
Wang Andao took out his token, turned it to the front, and pointed at the word Dan.
"This token should actually be empty originally, with no words engraved on it. It will be engraved with corresponding words according to its purpose.
For example, this one is engraved with the word Dan, which represents several possibilities.
First: The trial master may be proficient in alchemy, or may have the word alchemy in his name.
Second: It may mean that this trial is mainly related to alchemy.
The third thing...maybe it has something to do with the sect that tests the master."
Having said this, Wang Andao turned the token over again, picked it up and looked at it carefully, as if he was looking for something.
Tie Tang did not rush him and stood quietly waiting.
Zhen Guandong originally wanted to come over, but her sister grabbed her ears and walked straight ahead.
A few moments.
Wang Andao seemed to have found what he wanted on the reverse side, pointing to the token.
"Tietou, look here."
Tie Tang stepped forward and took a closer look.
There is no engraving on the reverse side of the token.
But in the lower left corner, inside the dragon, there is an extremely small and delicate flame logo.
"This is the mark of the token caster, which is generally not allowed.
But many skilled craftsmen are unwilling to remain unknown and will leave their own mark on the token."
"Then what does this flame represent?"
"The possibilities are similar to this Danzi, there are several.
It may represent one of the caster's name, sect, and origin.
It may also represent a relatively special use, or it may even be carved by the caster at will, without any meaning."
Anti-counterfeiting mark?
Tie Tang reacted instantly. Before the relevant writing is engraved on this token, it is equivalent to a piece of blank paper and is a commodity.
The caster left his own mark for others to imitate.
The token in the cold case...does it have such a mark?
After thinking about it carefully, Tie Tang was not sure.
He only knew that the token styles were absolutely the same, but he really couldn't remember such a small personal identification.
But it doesn’t matter.
The pending case is still in the litigation period. Although it is coming soon, all the exhibits are still kept in the Yuncheng County Government.
As long as you go back to Yuncheng, you can still check it.
"Old Wang, how many blank tokens are there?"
"Not much, but not much either."
"Very versatile?"
"It's okay."
"Then why are all tokens the same and can't they look different?"
Wang Andao was stunned for a moment, obviously confused by the question.
It took him a while to react, grabbing Tie Tang's arms and shaking him hard.
"Why do you eat with chopsticks? Why don't you just grab it with your hands?
Why are books all boxy? Why don’t they form a round shape? Why don’t they form a Pythagorean shape?
Why is the Secret Realm of the Physical Body called the Secret Realm of the Physical Body?
Why are you called Tietang and not Tietou?
This thing has always been like this, how do I know why?"
Tie Tang exerted a slight force on his arms and shook off Wang Andao's iron-clamping hands.
"You mean...there was this kind of blank token a long time ago?
At that time, the corresponding specifications and appearance were determined, and they are still in use today?"
"Boys can be taught!" Wang Andao touched his chin happily, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a beard, otherwise he would look like a complete old master.
Knowing the origin of the token, Tie Tang was not very happy. He murmured in a low voice: "If the imprint of that token is different from the one here, wouldn't the clue be broken?"
Wang Andao couldn't help but be curious when he heard this sentence: "Oh?
Do you still have this kind of token?
Where did it come from?
This thing is a bit old, almost no one uses it now, and there aren’t even many people who know how to build it.”
Tie Tang's eyes lit up and he asked slowly: "If I still have a token, can I find the creator? Or find out the purpose of the token?"
"It's possible!"
"Is it difficult?"
"It's not difficult at all!"
"Speak humanly."
Wang Andao spread his hands and expressed his helplessness: "If that token exists for a trial like this, then at most we can find out its past purpose.
Trying to find the caster...impossible!"
"Why?"
"Because they...most likely died long ago, just like the master of this trial."
Tie Tang was surprised: "How do you know that the master of this trial is dead?"
"Those Qingling ground breasts!"
"With the size of that cave, it would take at least one or two thousand years to accumulate that much Qingling Earth Milk.
And the words left by the trial masters just now seemed to be literate, obviously different from today.
Again, look around."
Tie Tang raised his eyes and looked around.
I saw that all the people around me had disappeared, leaving only a few oil lamps emitting a faint light, golden fonts still shining in mid-air, and a door open in front.
In addition.
There are huge stone walls on the left and right sides of the main hall, and the carvings on them are all majestic and majestic giant dragons.
As for these statues of dragons...the paint has peeled off, the body of the dragon has turned yellow, the claws are broken, the teeth are missing, and there are few scales. There are almost no complete dragons.
them.
