Chapter 367: Letterhead
Master, do you want me to help you get rid of him?" asked Ah Whale at this point.
Dongfang Shuo shook his head, then looked at the ancestor of the Lu family and asked, "Old man, these 'small mountain bags' are all tombs. ”
"I know. ”
The ancestor of the Lu family nodded.
Dongfang Shuo frowned: "I dreamed of it again in a dream?"
"Yes. ”
The ancestor of the Lu family nodded, "You can go by yourself." It should take some time to unlock these tombs. ”
In the previous twenty or so tombs, Wei Longyin spent four or five months intermittently, and even if it only counted the time to conquer the tomb organs, it was more than twenty days.
"Can you be specific?" asked Dongfang Shuo.
After all, he was only able to come out of the spiritual realm with the permission of the Six Princes.
If it takes too long, I'm afraid that before the matter is completed, I will have to be sent back to the spiritual realm by the six princes.
Old Ancestor nodded and said, "Yes." Then, he looked at the 'mountain bags', and after a moment of silence, he said, "Five days." ”
"Five days?"
Dongfang Shuo was stunned.
In the previous twenty or so tombs, Wei Longyin spent more than twenty days before and after, and the flow rate of the mountains and rivers was accelerated, so it also took sixty or seventy days.
And the ancestor of the Lu family in front of him, facing these countless tombs, said that it would only take five days?
Even if you count the speed of the years, it's only fifteen days.
After the ancestor nodded, he asked, "Why, don't believe in the old man's ability?"
"Since the old gentleman is the ancestor of the Lu family, his ability is naturally beyond doubt. Dongfang Shuo nodded immediately, "If the old gentleman himself said five days, then it will be five days." The flow of time here has slowed down, five days is equivalent to fifteen days, and the old gentleman should slow down. ”
"I know that the years are slowing down, so I know that five days is fifteen. "Old Ancestor said.
Dongfang Shuo smiled bitterly: "It's me who is too talkative, old gentleman, please." ”
At this time, the ancestor stroked his beard and said, "I know that you are from the spiritual realm, and the old man can't enter the spiritual realm, so in the past five days, you will temporarily rest in the old man's house." Every time you get a meal, someone will bring you food, and you can eat it. ”
"What about you, old man?"
"Eat less, you won't die of hunger. The old man laughed.
Although he was a little confused, he seemed to be the same thing when he recalled the flexible way of the old man.
And since he himself had already said so, Dongfang Shuo didn't say anything more.
"Then in that case, I went out first. At this point, he looked at Ah Whale and said, "You stay here to assist the old gentleman, if there is anything, let Turing call me, or you can come out yourself." ”
"Got it, master. Whale nodded.
Then, Dongfang Shuo set off to leave.
"Let's stay. Suddenly, Old Ancestor stopped him.
Dongfang Shuo looked puzzled.
Old Ancestor said: "Before you leave, I have one more thing to explain to you. ”
"Please. ”
So, the old man groped around his body, took out a sealed letterhead, and handed it to Dongfang Shuo.
As a result, Dongfang Shuo felt that the paper was a little yellow, and even a little old, but it was very neat.
"What is this?"
Dongfang Shuo was puzzled.
On the surface, this looks like a very old letter. But it's not famous, and I don't know who it was written to.
This is a letter to the head of the house. "Old Ancestor said.
"The head of the Lu family?" Dongfang Shuo wondered, "This letter looks like it has been prepared for a long time, why do you suddenly want me to help you deliver it?"
Old Ancestor smiled: "I once broke his beloved vase, and the letter contains words of apology to him. He came back every day to greet me, and when he looked down and didn't look up, I couldn't pull my face down. With five days to be separated from him, I thought it was time to read the letter to him. ”
"Wocao, isn't it, the apology for breaking a vase, how many years have you been apart, this letter is yellow!" Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but be a little crazy.
Old Ancestor shook his head: "It won't be long, it's only more than fifty years." ”
These words suddenly made the corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth twitch.
"More than fifty years? You can really stand it...... And if you lose a vase, you can remember it for so long, and there is no one. Dongfang Shuo said.
Old Ancestor sighed: "After all, it was his beloved vase." Okay, I've given you all the things that should be explained, and you can give it to him tomorrow morning when he comes to greet him. ”
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"No more. ”
"Well, I'll leave it to you. ”
"That's right. ”
"What?"
"Where you were standing just now, if you take a step back, it's a deadly trap, be careful when you get out. Also, don't move anything in my room, you'll die. ”
“...... Got it. Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
"Farewell. ”
So, he was sent out by Turing with a map of mountains and rivers.
After returning to the room, he immediately put away the map of mountains and rivers.
Glancing at the ground not far in front of him, he saw that there was indeed a slight difference.
On the surface, there is no clue at all, it is nothing more than that the ground is not solid, Dongfang Shuo's cultivation is high, and if you look closely, you can detect the hollow component.
"If you believe it, give it tomorrow morning. On the sixth prince's side, just wait for him to come to me, and then give him an answer. In five days, he should be able to accommodate a bit. Dongfang Shuo muttered to himself, and when the words fell, he looked around, and then sat cross-legged on the disc.
First, he took out the Kongtong mirror.
This time, he locked the target of his peep into the Longlin Palace.
At this time, the emperor was talking to the six princes, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than the speculation and deduction of the six princes, as well as the report on the state of the spiritual realm.
After looking at it for a while, Dongfang Shuo, who didn't want to waste the spirit crystal anymore, put away the Kongtong mirror.
So, he devoted himself to the scrutiny of martial arts. Xuzhou martial arts is similar but different from Qingzhou martial arts, and with the foundation of Dongfang Shuo Qingzhou martial arts, he can also understand one or two by constantly deducing the Xuzhou martial arts he has seen these days.
In the blink of an eye, it is a waning day.
When it was time for dinner, someone really delivered food to the door.
However, when Dongfang Shuo went to get the food, he didn't see anyone outside, and it seemed that he just put down the food and left.
So, Dongfang Shuo took the food and swallowed it.
This is also the handiwork of Chef Ling, and the taste is definitely much better than that of Shen Gongjin.
This meal also made Dongfang Shuo sigh at the vastness of the world.
It's really the old saying, there are green mountains outside the mountains, and there are green buildings outside the building.
"This old gentleman is really blessed. Dongfang Shuo smiled.
After eating, he put the dishes back into the food box, and after the food box was placed outside the house, Dongfang Shuo returned to the round platform to continue the deduction.
It was dark, and the night was quiet.
And in the deduction, Dongfang Shuo spent this night unconsciously.
The sky is white, birds are chirping, and insects are chirping.
Dongfang Shuo, who noticed someone approaching in the direction of the corridor, opened his eyes and jumped off the round platform.
"Descendant Lu Guanyue, please greet your ancestors. ”
Outside, after the footsteps had quieted down, a voice was heard.
After the sound cleared, the surroundings seemed unusually quiet.
Crunch.
Suddenly, the door opened. It was Dongfang Shuo who opened the door from inside the house.
And when he saw Lu Guanyue, the head of the Lu family who opened the door, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his expression, and he showed a little joy in addition to being surprised.
But after Lu Guanyue saw the person who opened the door, the joy in his eyes disappeared, and only sighs and disappointment remained.
"This is the distinguished guest recommended by His Royal Highness the Prince, right?"
Despite the look of disappointment in his eyes, Lu Guanyue still bowed his hand and asked Dongfang Shuo.
Dongfang Shuo walked out of the house, and the door closed by itself. Then, he walked straight in front of Lu Guanyue.
"Master Lu, the old gentleman is helping me with my errands, if there is anything, I can convey it to you. Dongfang Shuo, who noticed the disappointed look in Lu Guanyue's eyes, said so after approaching Lu Guanyue.
Lu Guanyue shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a daily greeting." ”
"That's ...... What is the disappointment in the eyes of the Lu family master?"
"Have you been discovered by a distinguished guest?" Lu Guanyue laughed dryly and said, "Originally, I asked for peace, but the old ancestor just replied in the house, but when I opened the door today, I thought that the old ancestor was finally willing to see me." ”
"Hmm, didn't the old gentleman want to see you before?" Dongfang Shuo wondered.
Yesterday, the ancestor of the Lu family said that he broke the beloved vase of the head of the Lu family more than 50 years ago, and he has never found a chance to apologize. Could it be because of this that the head of the Lu family mistakenly thought that the ancestor was angry with him in turn?
Anyway, the relationship between these two guys seems to be quite messy.
"It's just a family matter, so that the distinguished guests can see it. While speaking, Lu Guanyue glanced at the door of the house, then arched his hand again, "Since the ancestor is busy, then I won't bother, I'll go back." ”
As soon as the words fell, he turned to leave.
"Wait a minute. Dongfang Shuo stopped him and took out the letterhead that the ancestor of the Lu family gave him yesterday.
Looking at the letterhead handed to him, Lu Guanyue was puzzled for a moment.
The withered yellow letter paper naturally tells the age of time.
Lu Guanyue asked, "What is this?"
"The old gentleman gave it to you. ”
"Ancestor?"
In doubt, Lu Guanyue still took the yellow but smooth letterhead.
It's old, but it's been well preserved.
So, Lu Guanyue directly opened the letterhead in his hand in front of Dongfang Shuo.
Two pieces of letter paper fell out of it. One is full, the other is just two lines.
However, both pieces of paper were not finished, and it seems to be addressed to two different people.
The letter paper is made of special material and is not transparent, Lu Guanyue held it in his hand, but Dongfang Shuo couldn't see what was written.
But after reading the letter for a while, Lu Guanyue's eyes were stunned, and then he quickly regained his peace.
He folded the letter and put it back in it.
"Farewell. ”
Holding the letter and arching his hand, he turned and left.
After he walked away, Dongfang Shuo sighed lightly and said, "Hey, a little thing has stumbled two people for more than fifty years, and I really don't know what to say." ”
But he wondered what was written on the two pieces of paper. Lu Guanyue obviously only looked at the one with more characters, and the other one didn't look at it at a glance, so he folded it directly.
But this is a family affair after all, and Dongfang Shuo doesn't want to ask too much.
So, he turned and went back to the house.
Another day later, at noon the next day, the six princes arrived at Lu Mansion.
