Lonely Island Chapter 70 The Bronze Key Reappears
I took out the book and flipped through it, and the paper inside was quite broken, but it was not so bad that it fell off when I shook it, and it was obvious that it was at least the kind of thread-bound book that was thirty or fifty years ago. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The cover of the book is not printed, it is the kind of 5 old characters handwritten with a brush, which does not look like Chinese characters, and should be the script of some kind of ethnic minority. That kind of text looks a bit like oracle bone inscription, anyway, I've been in Uncle Guang's shop for so long, and I haven't seen a similar font, so I don't know what those 5 words are written on the cover of this book.
So I started to carefully flip through the book page by page from the cover, the first page, and the book was actually in the form of an encyclopedia, with a picture on each page, and then some brief instructions written underneath, and of course the font of the text was also a font that I couldn't read, so there was no way to understand what was written on it.
Those pictures should be some antiques from various dynasties, some are vases, some are fans or zithers and the like, all kinds, all like those used by the nobles of previous dynasties, some utensils, and handicrafts, those things are very exquisitely made, if they are well preserved, they are now so-called very valuable antiques.
In fact, there are several similar antique encyclopedias in Uncle Guang's shop, which are full of antique pictures collected by wealthy people for us to learn.
Because it's not the first time I've seen this kind of book, I didn't find it very special in this book at first, but I just thought why did this book appear in my pillow? I'm sure I slept on this pillow when I came, and there was definitely no book like this in my pillow.
I subconsciously thought that this book was supposed to be stuffed in my pillow by the person who saved Mira, and for what purpose?
But why would such a book be hidden in my pillow? Or maybe he just wanted to hide the book at that time, and there was no place to stuff it, so he stuffed it in my pillow, and I thought it was strange, and I looked at the small window above the cabin, and then my heart trembled, and I wondered if someone had just hidden the book in my pillow for the time being, and then someone would sneak in through this window of my room, and beat me up, and then take the book away, and I couldn't help but mutter.
I looked outside the cabin, and now the sky was clear outside the cabin, and the ship was not big, and I wondered if there would be anyone else hiding on this boat, who was peeking at the book and hadn't had a chance to do it for a while, and I thought it was not a possibility, so I wanted to look at the book again, thinking that it would be safer to just wait and put it back into the pillow, and then not go back to this room to sleep.
So I sped up the speed of reading the book, page by page, at the beginning, there was nothing special, just different, antiques, pictures, these pictures are like using a brush to draw, the painting is still comparative, detailed, with thick and thin pens, as well as thick and light ink, together to sketch these antique pictures.
Because I have experienced too many strange things recently, I was already suspicious, and I thought about things more and more complicated. I always felt that this book was someone's conspiracy, because I believed in the prophet and fell into the way of Hong, so I didn't think about the good side of the book's origins at all.
I kept flipping through it, thinking that TMD would have to read this book all over again, but the book was already 2/3 of the way through, and I was sure that this book had no features, except that it was very old, and there was nothing fundamentally different or obvious from modern antique books.
The style of antiques is nothing more than those types and different workmanship, I kept flipping through it, and I didn't see what I was expecting, just when I thought the book was boring, I wanted to stop reading it altogether, and just put it back on the pillow, and at this moment, I flipped through it, and put it on a page almost very back, and I saw a painting on it, and the things on it seemed to be a little different.
The painting on it is a dragon with its head raised, the dragon is a symbol of the emperor in ancient China, and in modern times, it is a symbol of good mixing and extravagance, this dragon is lifelike, the eyes are full of murder, there is a sense of self-authority without anger.
The dragon stepped on a round ball, the ball was so large that it could hold up the dragon's entire body, making people feel that the dragon was stepping on the ball and taking off.
However, this ball has a different place, the top of this ball is very smooth, and there is no carving and decoration, but there are five obvious cracks, and these five tears are arranged on the top of this ball in the shape of a pentagonal center, and it is deliberately carved on it at first glance. The distance and length of the five rifts are the same.
If it weren't for an expert who saw this picture, he might not have any special feelings, but I have been immersed in Uncle Guang's shop for too long, and I feel that the five cracks on the ball on this picture are very wrong, and they are very abnormal.
I didn't understand it for a while, but I quickly found a clue, because the page behind the picture on this page depicts five antique keys.
So I began to look carefully at the style of the five keys, which are not exactly the same five keys, and there is a certain workmanship decoration on the key, but it is obvious that the style and technique of workmanship are from the same master, and it is a variation of the five styles of the same pattern.
I flipped through the two pages back and forth, looking at the dragon stepping on the ball, and looking at the five keys at the other, but I always felt that there was some déjà vu, where had I seen these two pictures?
Thinking about it, I had an idea, and I turned out something from the cloth bag I was carrying, it was a bronze key, the bronze key that I got from the stone man in the underwater cave in the ancient tomb in Grand Canyon Town, and I turned it out.
The bronze key was kept by me well, and there was no damage, but the bronze key still had some water stains and dirt, and I almost forgot about this key for so long, let alone have the time to repair or repair it.
I took out the bronze key and began to compare them with the five keys in the picture, and soon I realized that the bronze key in my hand was exactly the same as one of the five keys above.
I hummed, and began to think that this book must have been deliberately shown to me by someone in my pillow, meaning to tell me that there were four other bronze in my hand to form a set, and that the five bronze keys corresponded to the mechanism of a dragon stepping on a ball.
I thought to myself, who knew that I had a bronze key? What was the purpose of him showing me this ancient book, and whether it was good or bad, or was he trying to take advantage of me or set me up, because after the note I gave to the so-called prophet in Honglingtou, I became more and more distrustful.
