Fan Chongwen pondered for a while before shaking his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you." I have many speculations about the secrets of the Dunhuang Book of Heaven. However, speculation is only speculation, and I cannot say anything until it is confirmed, so as not to mislead your judgment. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Well, write down your conjectures, no matter how ridiculous." There are times when I need these guesses as a reference. ”

I didn't wait for Fan Chongyi to speak, and then he preemptively said: "You are a scholar who pays attention to facts, and I am a detective who wanders between reality and myth, and your speculation may bring me some inspiration." You should know about the Detective Hand, right?"

"I've heard Lao Diao say it!" Fan Chongyi immediately asked Dr. Bai for a pen and paper, and sat in the car and began to write.

Fan Chongyi has never stopped since he put pen to paper, and he has never spoken to anyone again, and he has not stopped until he arrived at the research institute.

Dr. Bai arranged him in the room before he said to me, "Wang Huan, this overseas trip is up to you. I'm really not familiar with this aspect of things. ”

I was also worried: at that time, I realized that it was really difficult for the action team to move without the fox mother. No wonder, the fox mother always says that I am not a general, and I can't even handle the matter in front of me, so how can I control the overall situation?

I was in a state of sorrow, but Ren Tianqing said: "Wang Huan, why don't you ask Sister Xinyao for help? ”

Lu Xinyao: Why did I forget her?

I turned my head to look at Dr. Bai: "Doctor, you can help me contact Chen Wen and ask her to transfer Lu Xinyao to me." Also, you can help me check Fan Chongyi's immediate family, and it is best to find her wife. ”

"Okay!" Not long after Dr. Bai left, Lu Xinyao rushed over. The first thing she said when she entered the door was: "Wang Huan, how do you want to go?"

I didn't understand what Lu Xinyao meant, she explained to me: "The first one is to go abroad through normal channels, the passport will be issued soon, and we can also leave immediately." However, you can't take your equipment out. I had to go abroad to find another equipment. ”

"The second way, you can go out with your equipment, but you have to smuggle in. Stowaway boats are certainly slower than airplanes, and not every day. I'll have to find a way to get you in touch. ”

I hesitated and said, "Can you get equipment outside?"

"There was nothing wrong with that. Lu Xinyao said: "In addition, before I came, I asked people to investigate the information you need. The results I got were not optimistic. ”

My heart sank suddenly: "Didn't find any news?"

"It's not that I didn't find the news, but it's that the news is too shocking. Lu Xinyao said: "Actually, there are also organizations similar to the Divine Explorer in foreign countries, but their organization is more loose. They are often referred to as adventurers, or hunters. Their headquarters is known as the Adventurers' Union. ”

"The Adventurers' Guild also issues missions to explore the forbidden area. However, they did not have a sect, but a group of several adventurers combined to form a union. The predecessors of those adventurer teams were either pirates and thieves, or explorers of the colonists' armies. ”

Lu Xinyao paused and said, "Adventurers have always pursued the law of the jungle, and they have no scruples in doing things, and there are no rules to speak of. Stealing, robbing, and cheating are commonplace for adventurers, and there is almost no interruption in killing people and looting treasures. ”

"The Adventurers' Guild will never arbitrate these matters, let alone administer justice to whoever brings the forbidden area treasure to them, they will trade with whomever they want. We went out to meet the adventurers this time, and maybe something might happen. Be ye ready. ”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Who is in charge of the Adventurers' Guild?"

Since there are adventurers similar to the Explorers abroad, it is natural that there should also be a complete set of operating systems to support adventurers in exploring secrets. These things cannot be done without a certain background.

Lu Xinyao said: "The Adventurer's Guild is controlled by four major families, and it is not limited to one country, but the entire European Adventurer's Guild is controlled by the four families. ”

"Three of them are very old families, their ancestors are all European nobles, and some have even been dukes. ”

Between the end of the feudal era, Europe has always been in a state of feudal system that has long been eliminated by China, and the duke is equivalent to the lord of a country. The depth of the background of the three families can be seen.

This kind of ancient aristocracy, which can still stand for thousands of years, usually exists in black and white. The real fears are the forces that lurk in the dark, and the Adventurers' Guild may be one of them.

I was frowning when Lu Xinyao said again: "The fourth family of the Adventurer's Guild belongs to the Asian family. There is no definite conclusion as to which country it comes from, but we have always suspected that the fourth family comes from the Ghostless Sect. ”

My eyes shrank suddenly: "How sure are you?"

Lu Xinyao shook his head and said, "It's just speculation, there is no direct evidence." ”

Tao Xiyu told me: One of the major reasons why the No Ghost Sect has existed so far is that their headquarters is not in China, but overseas.

Tao Xiyu didn't tell me the specific location of the headquarters of the No Ghost Sect, but seeing what the Adventurers' Guild did, I had reason to trust Lu Xinyao's judgment.

I nodded slightly, "Are there any other clues besides these?"

Lu Xinyao said solemnly: "I heard that the adventurer's union has listed the Dunhuang code as an S-level task, which has attracted many adventurers to participate. In the end, he was either caught by the police, or died under the knife of the detective. Therefore, the task of the Dunhuang cipher is gone. ”

Lu Xinyao continued: "In the past, we also tried to understand what the mission of the Dunhuang Code was, but we found nothing. In the end, it was the intelligence services that conducted a comprehensive analysis and came to a conclusion. That is, the Dunhuang code mission should come from the third family of adventurers, the blood-colored tulip family. ”

"Scarlet Tulips?" I wondered, "Didn't you say that the adventurer's headquarters are in Britain?"

Lu Xinyao shook his head and said: "The blood-colored tulip is a pure British nobleman, and his ancestors were once marquises. The family had a crazy obsession with classical art. There are three major families of the adventurer's union, and they have the largest collection of Dunhuang cultural relics. Both in quantity and quality are higher than the British Museum's collections. ”

"The intelligence department suspects that they discovered some kind of secret in the collection, so they will release the mission of the Dunhuang code!"

I said in a deep voice, "What is the specific content of the Dunhuang code?"

Lu Xinyao said word by word: "Look for the Lezun Grottoes." ”

When I heard the words "Lezun Grottoes", my heart couldn't help but tremble.

According to the records, the "Lezun Grottoes" should be excavated in the pre-Qin era, and the main artistic achievements of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang were in the Tang Dynasty, especially after the large-scale integration of Buddhist culture and Chinese culture in the Wu Zetian era.

"Lezun Grottoes" deserves to be a holy place in Dunhuang culture, and it also occupies a pivotal position in the study of Dunhuang culture, but when it comes to artistic achievements, it will never be higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, let alone compared with later generations.

The Scarlet Tulip Family's search for the Lezun Grottoes is definitely not to steal artworks, there must be something else hidden here.

I said urgently, "Can you find a way to infiltrate the Scarlet Tulip family, or contact their higher-ups?"

Lu Xinyao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this is difficult." Without a referral, we wouldn't have been able to meet Tulip's top management, let alone contact them, and I could only say do our best. ”

"That's fine!" I also know that this request of mine is a bit difficult for strong people, and the rest of the things can only be taken one step at a time.

I was looking down and thinking about it, when Dr. Bai walked back quickly: "Are you ready, Dr. Fan has finished writing the notes." ”

I looked at Fan Chongyi behind Dr. Bai: "We will leave soon, leaving aside the matter of the mission, I want to know, do you still have any requirements? After all, it is a transaction between us, and I don't want to owe you a favor for nothing." ”

Fan Chongyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "If it doesn't bother, I hope to know the real reason why I killed people back then." When I confessed my guilt, I kept saying that it was because Xiao Zhao stole my research results and killed people. In fact, I still don't know the real reason for my killing. ”

I looked at Fan Chongyi, who smiled bitterly: "Sounds strange, doesn't it? I clearly remember that before I killed someone, there was a voice in my brain that kept telling me that if I killed him, I had to kill him." ”

"I know that no one will believe me, so I haven't said it to anyone. Once I say it, I have to be taken as a madman, either as a quibble. I don't want to be taken crazy. ”

Fan Chongyi said in a deep voice: "If I'm not crazy, there are still people who will believe in my research results." Once I became crazy, no one would believe me. Although I confessed my guilt, I have always been obsessed with this matter!"

I suddenly said, "You used to know martial arts?"

"I have practiced martial ......arts before," Fan Chongyi stopped at this point: "You want to ask me, how did you suddenly become a martial arts master, right? I won't tell you anything until you find the secret of the Dunhuang Book of Heaven." Believe me, there are some things that you still don't want to know when you don't encounter a mystery. ”

I know that I can't ask anything more from Fan Chongyi's mouth, people who have obsessions in their heads, unless you break his psychological defense, or torture him, don't try to find out the secret.

However, I don't have time to do that right now, and Dr. White won't allow me to do so.

I said in a deep voice, "Do you have any other requirements?"
