"You don't know what you're doing?"

He Lao shook his head slightly, and after speaking, he didn't look at Li Yang, but carefully looked at what was written in the notebook.

"Old man, do you know Japanese?"

Li Yang looked at He Lao in surprise, He Lao was very focused when he looked at the content on the notebook, and he didn't look like he couldn't understand it at all.

"I learned some when I was young, don't talk first, it's a little interesting to remember things on it, I'll talk about it after reading it"

He Lao waved his hand, Li Yang nodded, and went to study the four-phase box that was opened, it took him a lot of brain cells to open this box, but the sense of accomplishment he got after opening it was still very good.

After the box is opened, it is much easier to study it again, Li Yang can completely record the method of opening the box, this four-phase box can become an important item for their Li family in the future, and if there are any good things such as family heirlooms in the future, they can also be kept in the box.

"Li Yang, do you know how this thing ended up in your house?"

A few minutes later, He Lao closed the notebook and suddenly asked Li Yang, Li Yang hurriedly raised his head and looked at He Lao in a daze.

He Lao's expression was a little serious and a little excited, Li Yang thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "I really don't know this, but my father guesses that this is left to my grandfather by my grandfather, and my grandfather may have to leave it to my uncle, but my grandfather finally died suddenly after a stroke, and left without having time to explain, and then he has been in his bed."

What Li Yang said was the result of discussion at home, which can only be said to be a possibility, and I'm afraid no one can know what is going on.

He Lao nodded, and asked Li Yang again: "Then do you know, what is written on this?" ”

"I don't even know about it, I've never seen this thing before, and besides, I don't know Japanese either."

Li Yang immediately shook his head, what he said this time was right, he hadn't seen this book with the naked eye before, and he really didn't know what was written on it.

"There is an incident recorded on this, one thing before liberation."

He Lao looked at Li Yang, lightly tapped the notebook on the table, and continued: "The owner of this notebook is a capable subordinate of Emperor Showa of Japan, named Ryuichi Aoki, who came to China in 1941 and secretly carried out a mission of Emperor Showa."

"Emperor Showa, Ryuichi Aoki?"

Li Yang sat up straight and looked at He Lao blankly, he never thought that the things recorded in the trap box found in the old mansion actually involved the Japanese emperor during World War II.

"That's right, Aoki Ryuichi was ordered to secretly search for something, and he searched for more than five years before he finally found new clues in Tibet, but before he could report these clues to the emperor, he found that the outside world had changed."

Li Yang can understand what the old man said, this Aoki Ryuichi came to China in 1941, and five years later it was 1946, when Japan had been defeated and surrendered, and the outside world had indeed changed.

"After leaving Tibet, Aoki Ryuichi thought about returning to Japan, because he was worried that he would encounter some accidents, so he wrote down all his experiences and the clues he had investigated in this notebook, and then put them in the box, so that even if he was arrested or had an accident, Japan could find the clues he left through the box in the future."

Li Yang looked at He Lao, Li Yang didn't ask the doubts in his heart, since Aoki Ryuichi dared to leave the clues in the box, there must be a way to let people in Japan know, but I don't know how this box ended up in the hands of their Li family.

At this point, He Lao is also very puzzled, it is a pity that there are not so many records in this book, and it is impossible to record these, how the organ box fell into the hands of the Li family, it is very likely to become a mystery that can never be known.

A smile suddenly appeared on He Lao's face, and he asked softly, "Li Yang, do you know what Emperor Showa asked Aoki Ryuichi to secretly look for?" ”

"Old man, don't sell it, tell me quickly"

Li Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, now his heart is really itchy and uncomfortable like an ant bite, the story of this trap box involves the Japanese emperor during World War II, Li Yang's curiosity has long been raised, and the old man is still deliberately teasing him here.

"It's okay to tell you, but you have to promise me one thing," He Lao said with a smile.

"Old man, just say it quickly, don't say one, ten things are fine" Li Yang nodded immediately, with an anxious look on his face.

"Actually, this matter is also very simple, if the clues left by this Aoki Ryuichi are true, I hope you can follow the clues to find out this thing"

"Find something? Old man, what is Ryuichi Aoki looking for, why are you even interested? Li Yang was slightly stunned, and immediately asked again.

"It's an ancient sword, a famous sword in ancient Japan, the Heavenly Cloud Sword"

He Lao's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said slowly, especially the name of this sword, He Lao said it very clearly.

"Heavenly Cloud Sword?"

Li Yang's brows furrowed, during this time he seemed to have a good relationship with the ancient sword, he had just obtained a batch of ancient swords and the most famous Zhan Lu sword, the first sword in the world, and now the old man actually asked him to find the Tiancong Cloud Sword in Japan.

"That's right, the Tiancong Cloud Sword is one of the most famous ancient swords in Japan, it has been lost a long time ago, Emperor Showa got a clue and knew that this famous sword appeared in China for the last time, so he sent Aoki Ryuichi to look for it, Aoki Ryuichi did find the Tiancong Cloud Sword, but he couldn't take it out, and finally left these clues"

"If you have a clue, this sword can't be in Tibet, right?"

Li Yang asked again, the old man nodded immediately, and Li Yang's mouth immediately opened wide.

This sword is really in Tibet, but Li Yang doesn't have any opinion on going to Tibet, and his jade dzi also needs to go to Tibet for consecration, so he just did both things together.

"Li Yang, this sword is right in Tibet, but now almost seventy years have passed, and I don't know if Aoki Ryuichi's clues are still useful, if you can't find it, don't force it"

The old man handed the notebook on the table to Li Yang, and continued: "There is also this organ box of your family, and it is also recorded in the notebook, which was brought out by the last emperor Pu Yi from the Qing Palace, and finally fell into the hands of Emperor Showa of Japan, this is also the treasure of our country, you must keep it well in the future."

"Don't worry, I won't sell them even if I starve to death."

Li Yang smiled, and the old man also laughed, good things are to be passed on, there are not many of these four-phase trap boxes left in the world, He Lao only knows that there is one in the Forbidden City. However, the Forbidden City is even more complicated than Li Yang's, with a full 180 small wooden lattices on it, and He Lao once tried it himself, but in the end he couldn't crack it.

And these good things are in Li Yang's hands, He Lao is indeed very relieved, and when he is a hundred years later, he is ready to hand over all his collections to Li Yang, so that Li Yang can pass them on.

"Old man, did Aoki Ryuichi leave any information about the Tiancong Cloud Sword, or what does the Tiancong Cloud Sword look like?"

Li Yang asked again, and the old man laughed even harder.

After laughing for a while, the old man shook his head lightly and said: "Aoki Ryuichi didn't leave any information about the Tiancong Cloud Sword, but you should be able to find some, the Tiancong Cloud Sword, also known as the Kusanagi Sword, is one of the three major artifacts in Japan, and there are many records of this in both China and Japan."

"The Heavenly Cloud Sword is the Kusanagi Sword?"

Li Yang was stunned and looked at He Lao in a daze.

At this time, he finally understood why the old man would ask him to retrieve this sword, and why Emperor Showa would send his right-hand man to China to find this ancient sword.

The Kusanagi sword, which is a mythical ancient sword in Japan, has a status in Japan that is not inferior to the Zhanlu sword, or even higher.

In terms of fame alone, the Kusanagi sword is definitely much louder in Japan than the Zhanlu sword in China, and there are very few Japanese people who don't know the Kusanagi sword, even in China, too many people have heard of this Japanese artifact, and Li Yang is one of them.

"You don't have to worry about going to Tibet, Aoki Ryuichi left a clue that is true, but you still need to further verify the authenticity of this matter, you need to make some preparations in advance. During this time, you should check some foreign materials, especially Japanese, even if this matter is fake, it will not hurt you to learn more."

He Lao said that he wanted to verify the authenticity of this matter, in fact, he had already recognized this matter in his heart, as the Taishan Beidou in the antique world, the old man could see at a glance that this notebook was really some years old, and the words on it were also written before, and it was absolutely impossible to be fake.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is a fake, it is impossible for Li Yang to deceive him with a fake thing, let alone lie about the origin of this thing, as long as Li Yang really found it in the bed of the old mansion, this thing must have been left by Aoki Ryuichi back then.

The only thing to be sure of is whether Aoki Ryuyi came to China or not really had such a mission, whether he really found the Kusanagi Sword, and if so, then this artifact He Lao will never allow it to return to Japan.

Li Yang's thoughts are similar to those of the old man, Li Yang does not have any good impression of Japan, and Gao Beiqi's confession a few days ago is still vivid, and the Japanese have smuggled a lot of Chinese cultural relics from Gao Beiqi's hands. If you really find the Kusanagi sword this time, you must exhibit this Japanese artifact in the country, so that the Japanese can be anxious.

He Lao will do the work of verifying the authenticity of this matter, Li Yang doesn't need to worry about it, this is the advantage of having a tough backstage, Li Yang has always been leisurely before He Lao investigated clearly.

Li Yang just took advantage of this time to learn more about foreign knowledge, maybe Li Yang can encounter good foreign cultural relics in the future, and he can also take them to China to make a long face for the Chinese people.
