The snow had been falling all night and finally stopped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It was a goose feather snowfall, the earth was covered in silver, the branches were hung with ice, and under the light of the rising sun, everything was inlaid with a circle of gold edges, which looked extraordinarily delicate. I looked out the window at the snowy scene, and I felt much more relaxed.

Half a month ago, the Jade Buddha was stolen, but it made me relax, maybe it was self-comforting, as if with the disappearance of the Jade Buddha, the troubles and annoyances caused by it gradually disappeared, and my life returned to peace, however, is this calm just an illusion? Can I really forget the unsolved mysteries? I can't tell myself.

Our antique shop opened on the first sunny day after the heavy snowfall, and according to Zhang Meng's words, this is called Ruixue Zhaofeng Year, which is a good sign, and I hope that his dog's mouth, which has never spit out ivory, will come true this time.

On the opening day, please help these days friends in the vicinity of another frustration, put two whips at the door, many friends sent a flower basket to congratulate, Lao Zhang also sent a pair, the upper link is: red plum Xianrui Zhu new store, the lower link is: Rui Xue Xiang He opened the door, the horizontal batch is: the opening of the auspicious.

It is said that Lao Zhang has had a severe cold in the past two days, and it is inconvenient to come over, so he specially asked his nephew to congratulate him on his behalf. I accepted the pair and asked him to thank Lao Zhang on my behalf, and said that I would go over to see him when I was done, but Lao Zhang's nephew stood still after agreeing, as if there was something else.

"Is there anything else you have to do?" I asked.

"Can you take a step to speak?" said Lao Zhang's nephew, as if mysterious.

"Oh," I paused, "please follow me to the back room." I asked Zhang Meng to greet guests and friends, and I and Lao Zhang's nephew entered the back room and closed the door. After I invited him to sit down on the sofa, I took out a box of Chinese from the drawer and handed him one, but he was not polite, and I took the lighter and lit it for him. In fact, I don't usually smoke, Zhang Meng doesn't smoke much, occasionally smokes, and the cigarettes in the drawer are mainly for entertaining guests. I opened the back window to let the smoke smell and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Half a month ago, was your house burglarized and you lost something?" asked Lao Zhang's nephew straight to the point.

I was taken aback, and said that I had not told anyone else about the theft of my house except for Zhang Meng, how did he know about it? And he knew it so clearly. Then I understood, and asked, "Is this related to Your Excellency?"

"Yes", Lao Zhang's nephew was not vague, and said: "This matter is indeed related to me, and what you have been looking for is also here with me", after speaking, he took out a diary from his pocket.

"What do you mean? Can you explain that?" I asked, feigning confusion.

"Our boss knows that you have been looking for this thing, he arranged to act in this play, that is, to ask you to come out, if you can cooperate with us well, there must be only good and no harm. ”

"Your boss?", I asked.

"Of course not", Lao Zhang's nephew said: "I just helped my uncle, my boss has someone else, you don't need to ask more about this, you can take a look at this diary first, we know that you must have a lot of questions in your heart, and I have always wanted to see what is written in this diary that mentions your name", after speaking, handed me the diary.

I have indeed always wanted to see what is written in this diary, why this diary related to the Jade Buddha engraved with my name mentions "Guo Xiangdong", all these mysteries may be found in this diary, although I can't wait, but I can't show it in front of Lao Zhang's nephew, so I took the diary and pretended not to care.

The contents of the diary are written with a fountain pen, and the time seems to be a little long, and the pen words are a little blurred.

"My name is Guo Xiangdong", the first sentence in the diary wrote, I saw it and my heart shook slightly, although it may be just the same name, but it is inevitable that I still feel a little strange when I see others saying the same name as myself in the diary that is not my own, but when I see the second sentence, this strange feeling becomes strange: "The next time Guo Xiangdong sees this diary, maybe I have left there."

"Next Guo Xiangdong?" refers to me? "I've left there", where did I leave?

As I continued to look down, I was even more confused. The diary reads:

"At the time of writing this record, I was still puzzled by the whole thing, although some things have found some clues, but the discovery brings greater mystery and puzzle, maybe the final truth will not be discovered until the tomb suicide note is really found. ”

"Tomb suicide note?", I said in my heart, "Damn, what is this, I have only seen Wu Mu's suicide note in Jin Yong's novels, it is a military letter left by Yue Fei, how can a tomb suicide note appear."

Then look down:

"The Tomb Testament is just the name I gave it, and because of the special relationship, I was fortunate enough to find some confidential information, and I was convinced that the book did exist and recorded the whole truth. ”

"What truth?" I thought to myself, "Could it be that this person also found that the Jade Buddha was engraved with the same name as him, "Guo Xiangdong", and then checked a lot of confidential information, and found that there was a book in the ancient tomb that recorded why the Jade Buddha was engraved with his name?

Then look down:

"This may be an unprecedented discovery, if this truth does exist......" wrote about this place, and a large part of the rest of the text was all smeared with ink of the same color, I don't know why.

Further back:

"Along with this truth is a huge treasure, all of which is only Guo Xiangdong ......" was erased again.

Then the following events were related to the Jade Buddha, and I was surprised to find that some places were strikingly similar to my feelings and experiences:

"I am a scholar of paleographies and history, because of my relatives surnamed Guo, I am also well-known in the academic world, and by chance I met Liu Erbao, who was holding a jade Buddha and told me about the process of obtaining this jade Buddha and the strange changes in his body after getting the jade Buddha."

I read the diary description about Liu Erbao getting the Jade Buddha, which basically means that he and his two co-workers "Zhang Chongzi" and "Xie Laoliang" in 63 years While working on a construction site in Jinsong, Beijing, he accidentally found an ancient tomb, and discussed going to rob the tomb in one night, his two workers may have encountered some terrible situation after going down to the tomb, both died, one of the workers gave him this jade Buddha before he died, when he ran away from the ancient tomb there was a strange explosion, and in the following years his body underwent some inexplicable and wonderful changes, he felt very scared, he found some patterns on the jade Buddha, suspected that these were some kind of curse...... As for what happened to Liu Erbao's body, and what caused him to change, the diary did not mention it.

To my surprise, the diary reads:

"I found that this jade Buddha a thousand years ago was engraved with my name in Xixia characters, but what is even more strange is that in my consciousness, what I have always remembered is that Liu Erbao took the initiative to find me and asked me what kind of curse the words on the jade Buddha was, and why it would make his body change, but later I learned from Liu Erbao's mouth that the thing was not what I remembered at all, but because of the strange changes in his body, he was taken to a research institute by the Red Guards, and it was I myself who followed a few Red Guards to find him and learn about the Jade Buddha from him... … Later, after careful research and thinking, I probably learned a terrible fact, which even I couldn't believe: I was summoned by the Jade Buddha, and the Jade Buddha seemed to be able to control my thinking, and left an unreal impression in my memory fragments. As a scholar, I can't believe that there is such a thing, it's completely idealistic, and if it weren't, there could be no more reasonable explanation. Later, I consulted my relative surnamed Guo, and his explanation was that people's consciousness will be controlled under certain circumstances, and this control may be caused by external forces or itself, such as hypnosis or night travel, and the memory of the controlled person after waking up is completely different from the memory when he was controlled, so it is not impossible for me to happen in this situation, but the control mechanism of the Jade Buddha cannot be explained. Since this relative of mine is an authority in the academic world, I cannot but accept his explanations".

I was shocked by the fact that the scholar's relative was Guo Moruo, who was an academic authority on paleographies and history during the special period, and that he had access to confidential materials during that special period.

Seeing this, I suddenly understood two things, two terrible facts:

First: That morning, it wasn't that Lao Guo who stopped me and sold me the Jade Buddha when I was strolling around the alley, but that I was inexplicably "called" by the Jade Buddha and took the initiative to find Lao Guo, who was setting up a stall selling the Jade Buddha at the entrance of the alley, which would explain why I went to the alley in Jingshan so coincidentally and happened to buy the Jade Buddha engraved with my name. It's not a coincidence, it's a force that controls my thinking and behavior, but what is it?

Second: Lao Guo didn't lie, just like this Guo Xiangdong in the diary, my memory was completely distorted, it was Lao Guo who took the initiative to ask and bought the Jade Buddha, not the Jade Buddha that Lao Guo asked me to sell in my memory. But what is it about this fragment of memory that is distorted?

Regarding the second point, in fact, I also found out before, when I was looking for Lao Guo's address, I remembered that Lao Guo sold me the Jade Buddha when he gave me the shopping bag containing the Jade Buddha, originally I wanted to find the clue of Lao Guo's address from the shopping bag, but later found that the shopping bag was printed with the name of a supermarket near my home, I felt very strange at that time, is this shopping bag not Lao Guo's but I brought it myself? I looked up some information on the Internet, and it is indeed like the well-known scholar surnamed Guo in the diary said, people will have memory distortion when hypnosis or sleepwalking, and many people have also had such a situation, when a person goes to a strange place or does something that he has never done before, he always feels as if he has been to this place or experienced this thing before, in fact, this is also a manifestation of memory distortion. But what is the power that controls my mind and distorts my memory? I have the same question as Guo Xiangdong.

At the end of the diary, it is written:

"Seeing the next Guo Xiangdong of this diary, it's a pity that I can't understand and can't tell you the whole truth of the matter, because the more you know, the more confused you will become, make the same mistake as me, and lose the direction of finding the truth, when you get the Jade Buddha, it means that the matter is not over, you must go to end this matter, all I can do is to tell you where I am going, Yuquan Mountain, maybe there is the starting point. ”

After reading the records in the diary, not only did not relieve my previous doubts, but instead made me fall into even greater confusion, I couldn't help but ask in my heart: "Who is Guo Xiangdong? Who am I?"
