"This is a fragment of a manuscript from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and some very interesting things are recorded on it...... "Ma Lao carefully flipped through the old papers.

I stretched out my head to take a look, the paper was densely packed with small fly-headed seals, which were damaged, and Ma Lao was wearing gloves and holding the pages very carefully.

"Do you know the insect master?" Ma Lao suddenly asked.

"What!" my eyelids jumped.

"There is a kind of warlock called the insect master, according to the above statement, the insect master can actually control insects!" Ma Lao smiled: "...... According to my understanding, this may be a branch of ancient witchcraft, in fact, some ethnic minorities also have earthworks that use insects to cure diseases, such as the venom of poisonous snakes, centipedes, spiders, ......etc., "Ma Lao did not look at me, and explained casually.

Ma Lao's tone was relaxed, but it was loud in my ears, this tattered booklet actually recorded the insect master!

"Look here......" Ma Lao flipped through one of the pages of several old papers: "There is also a person mentioned here, Tao Zhongwen in the Jiajing year of the Ming Dynasty, this person you know, our lost three-legged tripod is deeply involved with this Tao Zhongwen." ”

"What did it say!" I asked.

"It's very interesting, according to the above statement, Tao Zhongwen is also a famous insect master...... There is also a strange saying, Jiuding is present, and the insect emperor is out of ......"

Suddenly a cold sweat broke out on my back!

"What does this Jiuding and the Insect Emperor represent? Is our lost tripod related to these? These questions are very interesting......

“…… Tao Zhongwen is a real figure in history, Tao Zhongwen is actually mentioned above, you know that Tao Zhongwen has won the trust of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing was originally a very worthy figure in the academic world, as an emperor can not go to court for forty years, indulge in cultivation and alchemy all day long, Tao Zhongwen's influence on him is not deep, these are all worthy of our study......"

When it comes to archaeological expertise, Ma Lao talked eloquently, Ma Lao's words shocked me inexplicably, and some doubts in my mind also jumped out!

"Ma Lao, I don't understand these things, you didn't call me here just for this. After listening for a while, I couldn't help but interrupt Ma Lao.

"Xiao An, don't worry, there are actually other things to call you over......" Ma Lao's tone suddenly changed.

"It's Mu Xue......" Ma Lao's face became a little hesitant.

“…… Mu Xue has been staying abroad, I don't feel at ease when she's alone, I want her to come back, but she ...... I know you're in a quandary, but I want you to help me persuade her. ”

"Isn't she going to study abroad for a year?" I asked.

"She's lying to you, huh...... This kid. Ma Lao looked at me gently: "It is said that I should not be involved in the affairs of you young people, but I am really worried, I really don't worry about her being a girl abroad." ”

"Lie to me......" I paused for a moment, and then I was distraught.

Chen Muxue didn't go abroad to study, did she want to hide from me!

"It's the New Year, Mu Xue won't come back, I don't listen to any persuasion, I thought of you, I'm also sick and rushed to the doctor, Xiao An, don't blame me. Ma Lao Yan smiled.

"I see. I replied softly.

"This is Mu Xue's phone call abroad. "Ma Laoti gave me a note, and I didn't read it, but took it and stuffed it into my pocket.

"The old horse...... If nothing else, I'll go. I said sullenly.

Ma Lao personally sent me out of the museum, and a moment before I got into the car, I suddenly asked: "Ma Lao, who is the author of the handwritten booklet?"

"Anonymous, that book is not complete, I'm still sorting it out, and I'll tell you when the results are available. Ma Lao replied with a smile.

"That's okay, Ma Lao, I'm leaving. "I pulled the door and got into the car.

"Mu Xue's affairs are left to you. Ma Lao waved goodbye to me.

I sighed when I came out of the gate of the Bogu Pavilion, there has been no news of Chen Muxue for a long time, I deliberately didn't think about her, I didn't expect Ma Lao to be so stunned and let me face it, I didn't know what to do, I put my hand in my pocket and pinched the note with the phone number written on it, and after a while, I took my hand out again.

I let myself not think about Chen Muxue for a while, and my thoughts involuntarily drifted to the words that Ma Lao said, who was that manuscript, who actually left such a message!

The three-legged tripod is now nine tripods, which means that there are nine tripods, what is the insect emperor? Uncle Wei and I already have three silk silks in our hands, and there are six left, and my heart is suddenly hot!

The way home is not close, my home is more than 1,000 miles away from Jiangcheng, in a small county, my parents are very ordinary people, laid off very early, just like thousands of ordinary families, I have understood the difficulty of life since I was a child, from my parents I feel is diligence and forbearance.

Their generation has a common trait, cautious, my parents are like this, when I said I wanted to go to Jiangcheng, they were strongly opposed, my parents wanted me to stay with them, stay in that small county town, and live the same life as them, but in the end they still couldn't resist me, I still went to Jiangcheng.

My relationship with my parents is not very close, but it is not bad, since I was a child, my personality is more rebellious, a few years and always quarrel with them, I used to resent them, hated that they have no ability, can not give me a good life, as I get older, I gradually understand the difficulty of my parents, this time I also decided to compensate them for going home.

I was scared of homesickness, when the car drove into the small county, I suddenly felt a little weak, I didn't go home for more than half a year, every time my mother called me, I was secretive, I didn't know how to tell them, my life can be said to have changed dramatically in the past six months, Uncle Wei and Yaoyao My parents don't know yet.

My parents used to be workers in the same state-owned factory, and the factory closed down, but the family home is still there, and I grew up in the family home.

There are many stalls on both sides of this street, one of which sells fruit is my family's, since the factory closed down, my parents have started to sell fruit, and the stall next door is basically my parents' colleagues in the original factory, the factory is gone, life has to go on.

Approaching the end of the year, there were more people on the street, I slowed down the car, and soon, I saw a familiar back, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl!

I parked not far from my stall and got out of the car and walked briskly towards my mother, who was loading and picking up fruit with her back to me.

"Boss, bring me ten pounds of apples. "When I walked to the stall, I deliberately shouted loudly.

My mom turned around in an instant, and the pears she was holding in her hand rolled to the ground.

I was shocked, I didn't expect my mom to react so quickly.

"Mom. I grinned.

"Stinky boy!" my mom scolded.

My mom's face was full of surprise, and she raised her arm and wiped it on her eyes.

“…… You still know to come back!"
