Regarding He Manzhou's words, Bai never gave an evaluation.

His mind stayed in the clues of knowing, considering how much content could be told to He Manzhou without hesitation, and what content could not be known to her so far.

In fact, the treasure of the bereaved king kept by the Bai family is hidden in a few clues, in addition to the "Returning to the Clouds of Nanshan", there is also a letter left by the ancestors, which is also something that only the previous family heads are qualified to view.

The yellowed paper is written about the hidden history of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, the witch clan and the holy woman, the high priest and the goddess....... The history that sounds ridiculous but actually exists is the clue to cracking the goddess's suit.

But it is clear that the letter was tampered with.

The second page of the three-page letter is clearly incomplete and shows signs of being deliberately altered. Although the people who did it were rigorous enough, imitated the same paper and handwriting, and even the wording and tone of the content of the letters were completely consistent, and the similarity was high enough to be true, they still could not escape Bai Yicong's eyes.

Bai Yicong was born in the antique industry and has a deep research on the counterfeiting of calligraphy and painting.

These skills are not the subtle influence of the Bai family, let alone the skills of the previous masters, and it is still the small stove that his grandfather opened for Bai Yicong when he was alive, so that he accidentally learned a unique thing.

In a word, the skills of the head of the Bai family are faulty.

Although as a descendant of the Bai family, he will inevitably learn the techniques in the antique industry, and he has received enough exposure from childhood to adulthood, but these techniques are nothing more than a stepping stone to enter the industry.

Anyone who has been involved in the antiques business knows how important a good eye is in this industry.

Just as a singer eats with his voice, a craftsman earns money with his two hands, and the antique business purely relies on a pair of discerning eyes to win fame and wealth. The back and forth is a confrontation between identification and forgery, and the consideration in spending a lot of money is to be able to recognize those objects that are really worth leaving behind, and it is nothing more than relying on ability to eat.

Just like the ancient young knights had a great opportunity to get the guidance of their predecessors, so far they opened up the second vein of Ren Du and became an emerging force in the rivers and lakes in one fell swoop, and gradually reached the top in the continuous grinding and polishing. The ability to identify antiques and the ability to distinguish authenticity are not something that can be honed overnight.

But all antique families, more or less have some skills to press the bottom of the box, it is with this inheritance, the family can be invincible.

The Bai family has been up and down in the antique circle for many generations, and Bai has never seen the ancestral genealogy, and there have indeed been some romantic characters among the ancestors. Many hidden rumors are told, and any one of them is a wild history hidden behind antiquities, and it has become a confusing piece of pen and ink hidden in history, which is enough to make people think deeply.

However, these techniques have been passed on to Bai Yi's generation, and they have converged a lot, whether the predecessors are unwilling to pass them on, or whether some techniques are gradually buried in time, no one can say why. For example, Bai Yicong's skills, especially the techniques of ancient painting identification, were taught to him by Bai Yicong's grandfather in his early years.

Even his father Bai Yan and elder brother Bai Yuqiu didn't know about it.

As for why the grandfather was reluctant to hand these over to his only son and eldest grandson, and chose Bai Yicong to take over his mantle after several rounds, these things are unknown. It stands to reason that the identification of ancient paintings is clearly the fourth vein of the Bai family, and as the head of the Bai family, he naturally has to learn everything, but there is far no need to compete with one of the techniques.

But Bai Yicong's grandfather cautiously taught him many unique skills alone.

Bai Yicong still remembers that the old man specially told him at that time, don't tell others about these things, don't ask more if you don't understand, how much you can learn, just don't learn it, it's all a chance.

At that time, Bai Yicong was too young to understand many things, but he was a little confused in his heart.

Later, the old man passed away suddenly, and there was no chance to ask those questions hidden in the bottom of my heart.

So the reason for Grandpa's decision back then is unknown.

It was when Bai Yicong was in elementary school, and at first, Mr. Bai just came over casually when he was writing his homework, checked the half-written exercise booklet, and didn't often test him a few questions. If Bai Yicong couldn't answer, he would be scolded, and he didn't have half a word of praise when he answered, at most the old man bowed slightly, and then left the study with his hands behind his back as if nothing happened.

At first, Bai Yicong only thought that this was the elder's whimsical inspection and concern, but who knew that his grandfather came more and more often, and he would often chat with him a few words. Those words are really difficult to accept, and they always make Bai Yi never understand his intentions. In addition, Bai Yicong's grandfather is a very serious and old-fashioned old man, who has little contact with the juniors on weekdays, and has always put the identity of "the head of the Bai family" above the identity of "grandfather" in his daily interactions, and his gestures are all majestic with a sense of distance, so that Bai Yicong has indescribable pressure to talk to him.

is such a person who can't be reached, but he has a little secret that only he and Bai Yicong know.

Those individual tutoring lasted for a while, and their contact gradually increased, and then this behavior became more and more natural, and grandpa began to tell Bai Yicong some things that he didn't have - about the history of the Bai family's ancestors, and about the origin of those objects in the basement of the Bai family's old house, as well as those unique skills that the Bai family did not know.

At that time, Bai Yicong was still young, and he didn't know why he was taken special care of by his grandfather, and he couldn't think of what he meant by doing this. Every time I sit there with my head down, my heart has already flown out of the clouds. After all, children are more playful, and he feels that such a teaching is meaningless. After all, there is Bai Yuqiu, the elder brother who is the leader, instead of teaching him these things, it is better to find a time to exercise Bai Yuqiu, shouldn't the huge family business be handed over to the eldest grandson in the end?

Of course, Bai Yicong also expressed that he was very tired from learning these things, and there were times when he didn't practice enough. Grandpa didn't say it directly, but just looked at him a little sternly, and Bai Yicong didn't dare to be lazy anymore.

At that time, Bai Yinever understood what his grandfather thought, but he was still young and couldn't comprehend the advanced realm of his old man, and then he gradually grew up, but he still couldn't figure out what those mysterious teachings were about. It wasn't until he became the head of the Bai family and came into contact with the treasure of the relict king that he vaguely understood the deep meaning of the three points.

Thinking about that experience now, probably grandpa pressed his last hope on him.

Fortunately, no matter how casual it is, Bai Yicong's talent and understanding are still there. Grandpa taught him so implicitly, even the process of the master leading him into the door was abbreviated, and many things were comprehended by Bai Yi from himself. But he can't stand the apprentice is quite smart, whether it is calligraphy and painting appraisal or antique appreciation, he has learned decently, and soon became thoroughly proficient.

And so the days went by, day by day, until that day—

Bai Yicong still remembers that it was an ordinary summer afternoon.

His homework is almost finished, and he has to squeeze out time to complete the small stove that his grandfather opened for him, the hot season seems to roast people, and even the brain's thinking ability is weak, he lies on the desk with his arms on his pillow, as if he will be drowsy at any time, and then he simply took advantage of the fact that his grandfather has not come, and he is lazy and napping on the edge of the table.

Vaguely, Bai Yicong seemed to hear a meaningful sigh.

"Child, I still don't know if it's right or wrong to tell you this, if you can stop that, can you change the fate of the Bai family...... Hey, forget it. ”

The end of the sentence was very faint, and even the sigh was scattered in the wind.

Grandpa's words were hidden in the cicadas of the whole tree, and they were just like Bai Yi's illusion between half-dreaming and half-waking. After a long time, he wanted to confirm whether his grandfather had said that sentence at that time, and what was hidden in the words, but looking at the old man's cold and serious face, he didn't dare to ask even if he had more questions.

Later, it was the sudden death of my grandfather.

The old man left suddenly, and the entire Bai family was unprepared. After Bai Yan took over the authority of the family and became the new head of the Bai family, everything had a completely different direction. As a result, what happened that afternoon became a permanent question in Bai Yi's heart.

Until long after his grandfather's death, he could not confirm the deep meaning of the old man's words.

.......

Bai Yicong has not recalled these things for a long time, probably because the years are too far away, and many details are about to be overlooked.

But because of that handwritten letter, he once again began to delve into the words left by his grandfather.

- What does the old man want him to stop when he says "stop something from happening"?

Is it the crumbling situation of the Bai family, or the internal intricate calculations.

Bai Yixian only thought about it a little deeply, and realized the crux of the problem. The person who tampered with the handwritten book was obviously also an expert in the antique world, and his technique was so subtle and meticulous that if it was an ordinary antique shop owner, or even anyone else in the Bai family, he would not find anything unusual.

But this thing fell into Bai Yicong's hands.

The things that his grandfather taught back then were engraved in his mind, and those techniques that others didn't know became his biggest killer weapon, even if the traps carefully laid by experts still couldn't escape his eyes, and he was naturally seen to be strange, so he solved this dangerous and dangerous mystery.

And after determining that there was something wrong with the letter, the rest of the matter was even more confusing.

According to common sense, since this handwritten book has been preserved, it is natural that some people hope that Bai Yicong will continue to investigate these clues.

But if he wanted to investigate, why did he hide half of it and keep half of it? What was the part of the content that was taken away by someone with a heart, and why did he get in the way of it? These things Bai Yi couldn't understand for a moment, and more questions were entrenched in his heart.

For example, who took the middle page, and what was tampered with in the part that was left behind?

And continue to dig deeper, the part that Bai Yixian is unwilling to face is where his real worries lie.

After all, only the head of the Bai family is qualified to contact this handwriting, and there is a problem with the handwriting, from a certain point of view, there is a problem with the core part of the Bai family.

These doubts are the shackles within the Bai family, and they can't be hidden.

It is like a big tree with lush leaves, which seems to have roots for many years from the outside, and everyone is praising its growth, admiring its branches that reach into the sky and reach the sky, and the thick roots that are entangled in the ground. But the inside of the tree had already rotted, but no one could see it. Only the giant tree itself knew that the moth had already hollowed out its trunk, and it was only a matter of time before it completely collapsed, and it could die from a shower all night, or it could be a sudden hurricane.

It was nothing more than the straw that broke the camel's back, revealing the part that gradually sharpened with the years. If the problem is not solved, no one will save this giant tree, and even the foundation of thousands of years will be completely destroyed, but it is only a matter of time.

The Bai family is such a giant tree.

These things had been foreseen in vain, and this was what he had been worried about for a long time.
