But Li Moqian had to admit that in the comprehension of Tianshu's last words before his death, Staff Officer Zang's scrutiny seemed to be deeper and more reasonable. But Li Moqian felt that this did not indicate the level of ability, but because Staff Officer Zang's attention and study of the Book of Heaven was long before him, just like when he was playing chess, he was taken the lead by Staff Officer Zang, and he robbed the five sons, so that he was passive everywhere.

Although Staff Officer Zang has some secret information that he can't know for himself. But his intuition told Li Moqian that this game of chess was still very early from the end of the game. Because it's not like a game of chess with clear boundaries and you are alive and dead, it's more like a game of Go with layers of layers and layers, you have me, and I have you.

If Tianshu fully believed in Staff Officer Zang as his opponent said, he would not have the need to stay with himself. And Tianshu will do this, which means that the clues he left behind hide some secrets that only he can unravel. However, did the opponent really ignore this move of Tianshu at that time, or pretended to be confused and forced himself to fight with the radical method? Li Moqian felt that the best way was to refuse the invisible chess game in front of him, and tell the opponent directly, I don't have time to play with you, and I won't be led by your nose. I have a simpler and more direct way, and since I can't tell who is more suspicious of the murderer, you or Coriander, I'll lock you both up.

But Li Moqian still clearly remembered that the purpose of returning to the tower was to seek the help of the opponent in front of him. If you lock up the coriander wolf, you are already like losing an arm, and if you close the staff officer Zang, you are really like a waste person who has broken his limbs, and he will already harm himself without fighting. At the same time, Li Moqian also believes that Staff Officer Zang, like himself, has an unruly heart under his humble appearance. And as long as he can find clues that the opponent can't penetrate on the Eight Immortals Diagram left by the Book of Heaven to the opponent, it will be a good opportunity to convince the opponent and make him willing to help himself. It just so happened that although Staff Officer Zang was tough, he still slowly unfolded the Eight Immortals Diagram on the conference table in the combat command room. Li Moqian, who was suddenly staring at the picture, was shocked, and said in a low voice: "No, no!" ”

Staff Officer Zang said slightly angrily: "Why, doesn't the master believe that this is the original painting given to me by the Book of Heaven?" Zang is also a soldier, although he can't do it by himself, he won't be willing to do it and make a trick of dropping the bag. Li Moqian shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that. To tell the truth, according to the painting of the monk of Tianshu, it is impossible for anyone to copy the second such ugly picture of the Eight Immortals. When I saw the name of the painting on the inscription, I suddenly remembered the contradiction in the words of the book of heaven. ”

Staff Officer Zang's eyes flashed: "Is the master talking about the five words 'Journey to the East of the Eight Immortals'?" But what's wrong? Li Moqian said: "Yes, the name of the painting is 'Eight Immortals Journey to the East', and the Tianshu monk began to say that he was also stationed in Daning Pagoda Temple, and painted this picture of the Eight Immortals' Journey to the East and hung it here for two years, but I remember that he finally told you that he would give you a hand-painted picture of the Eight Immortals from the East as a souvenir." ”

Staff Officer Zang muttered: "Traveling to the East and coming to the East are two completely different directions. Li Moqian nodded and said, "Yes." Traveling to the East is from west to east, but from east to west, since Tianshu attaches so much importance to the Eight Immortals he painted, he will never make this kind of common-sense mistake. Could it be that he actually painted two paintings, and only one of them was given to us, implying that we should go looking for a second painting? ”

Staff Officer Zang thought about Li Moqian's words, picked up the baton casually and wrote the words east and west separately on the sand table of the combat drawing: "Through the reminder of the master's seat, I suddenly remembered that Tianshu was repeatedly mentioning the words east and west downstairs at that time. You see," Staff Officer Zang drew an arrow line from west to east, "This is the Journey to the East mentioned in the Book of Heaven." ”

Immediately, Staff Officer Zang drew an arrow line from east to west: "This is the map of the east mentioned in the Book of Heaven." Then," Staff Officer Zang raised his head and looked at Li Moqian, "Shizuo remembers that the Book of Heaven also said a very abrupt sentence, the Eight Immortals Diagram is the Eight Immortals in our eyes, and in his eyes, it is just a monk from the east who is good at chanting scriptures." The monks who came from the east also came from east to west. ”

Seeing that Staff Officer Zang added another arrow line from east to west between the words east and west, Li Moqian nodded: "Remember." When you say this, there should be a sentence indicating the direction. It is the last sentence of the Book of Heaven, split the entrance to see the golden lock, and the single-plank bridge leads to the west sky. Tongxitian should also say from east to west. ”

Staff Officer Zang clapped his hands and said, "The master is smart, and now I can gradually understand the truth of the clues left by the Book of Heaven." It's just that the stakes are big and must be further verified. I heard that Shizuo had studied in the Wa Kingdom in his early years, but I don't know how much I know about the customs and customs of Dongying? Li Moqian didn't like others to mention his experience, so he sank his face, but he couldn't avoid this question, and muttered, "I understand a little." ”

Staff Officer Zang said with a smile: "Master, there is a way that smart people can see everything but do not see Mount Tai in front of them. On the second floor, in the painting that has been placed in front of us all along, there is a conspicuous but often overlooked place. ”

Li Moqian waved his hand to signal Staff Officer Zang not to continue, looked at the Eight Immortals Diagram carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "That boat!" Staff Officer Zang struck the giant boat at the feet of the Eight Immortals with a knuckle: "Yes, this boat told us from the beginning that this painting is not the Eight Immortals swimming eastward!" ”

Li Moqian agreed: "Yes! The idiom 'Eight Immortals Cross the Sea, Each Shows His Magical Powers' is a household name in China, such as Tie Guan Li's gourd, Han Zhongli's banana fan, Zhang Guolao's donkey, Lan Caihe's flower basket, Lu Dongbin's sword, Han Xiangzi's horizontal flute, Cao Guo's uncle has a jade plate, and He Xiangu has a lotus flower - even a person like me, who has not listened to myths and stories for a long time, can casually say the eight treasures and eight supernatural powers of the eight immortals. Tianshu, a person who has dealt with religion all his life, no matter how confused he is, will not be able to make such a mistake in painting, replacing the magic weapon under the feet of the Eight Immortals with a boat. ”

"Then the clerical error of Tianshu must be deliberate. Well, just now we came to the conclusion that he alluded to Tie Guan Li as a god and not an immortal, which can be excluded from the eight immortals, then there are seven immortals left. The Seven Immortals plus this boat ......" Staff Officer Zang smiled and reminded, "Master, don't forget the identity of Tie Guan Li, but he is the master of the Eight Immortals. ”

Li Mo said in a horrified manner: "Yes, then he is the source of the remaining Seven Immortal Magical Powers." God...... Avatar...... The Seven Immortals inherit supernatural powers, and the seven supernatural powers are on the giant ship...... Could it be that this painting actually depicts the Seven Lucky Gods of the Japanese Kou, the Seven Lucky Gods of the Treasure Boat? ”

"The Wa Kingdom is called Dongying, it is in the east of China, it can't be wrong, the Book of Heaven just wants to tell us that he actually painted a picture of the Seven Lucky Gods of Dongying's treasure ship! But why does the Book of Heaven hang the Seven Lucky Gods here? The ancient Chinese city of Mulin City Daning Pagoda Temple is enshrined in the gods of the Japanese Kou, is the Book of Heaven taking great pains to tell us this secret? Could his death be the foreshadowing? ”

Staff Officer Zang sighed: "The division seat is really smart, and it is exactly as I guessed. However, I still have something to ask the teacher for verification, please don't think I'm wasting my time. At this moment, the risk facing Mulin City is only afraid of the threat of more than 20,000 pirates outside the city. In this Wooded City, where we can't see, there is an imminent crisis. ”

After a pause, he continued to whisper: "What I said to Shizuo just now, I'm afraid that Shizuo can't imagine how huge and treacherous the truth of their relationship is. Judging from the tip of the iceberg of the information obtained in the past, whether the truth of this painting can be completely unraveled, and it is enough to affect the fate and future of the 23rd Division. The corners of Li Moqian's eyes jumped, and he was silent for a long time, before he said slowly: "Do I have a choice of not believing?" What details do you want to ask me about studying abroad in Dongying? ”

Staff Officer Zang smiled slightly: "Needless to say, I seem to be taking the opportunity to interrogate. In fact, I just want to ask some of the rumors of the Seven Lucky Gods of the Treasure Ship that the master has heard, and compare them with the information of the Seven Lucky Gods I have collected to see if there are any omissions. Li Moqian was stunned and said: "This treasure ship Seven Lucky Gods are a well-known legend in the Wa Kingdom, what difference can it be?" Staff Officer Zang smiled: "That's not easy to say, the storyteller is different, and the words spoken are naturally different." ”

Li Moqian glanced at Staff Officer Zang deeply, lowered his head and stretched out his hand to smooth out the Eight Immortals and said: "This treasure ship Seven Lucky Gods are the seven gods of the host world in the mythology of the Wa Kingdom, and their gods are as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the Eight Immortals in China. ”

Legend has it that every year during the Spring Festival, the Seven Lucky Gods will drive a treasure boat full of good fortune to spread auspiciousness and joy to the earth, so the treasure boat under his feet is one of the indispensable components of the portrait. However, the specific seven gods depicted will vary depending on the region of the Wa Kingdom. ”

"It is generally believed that the seven gods represented by the Seven Lucky Gods are the seven gods of Huibisu, Daikokuten, Shamumonten, Kucaitian, Jixiangtian, Shoulao, and Budai monk, among which Kucaitian and Jixiangtian are both goddesses."

Staff Officer Zang said "oh": "I remember that someone in the military department mentioned that you studied at the Tokyo Army Academy, right?" I don't know how many years I've lived in the Ukuni Commonwealth? Li Moqian said in a low voice: "Three years." Staff Officer Zang smiled: "Three years is not a short time, no wonder people say that the wise man knows everything and knows the world while sitting in the room." Shiza sat and watched Tokyo, but he could not hesitate to say the difference in the worship of the Seven Lucky Gods in different regions of the Wa Kingdom. ”

Li Moqian's unknown heart was deeply stung, and his voice was lowered: "That's because a foreign friend in the Japanese country would discuss the local customs and culture with me in his spare time, but my friend was a leader who was well versed in the religious customs of the Japanese country. If you don't nag you, I'll tell you everything I've heard. ”

"It is said that the Seven Lucky Gods of the Wa Kingdom originated from the Buddhist concept of the Seven Disasters and the Seven Good Fortunes of Life, but the origins of the seven gods were very different before they were formed. Among them, Ebisu is revered as the head of the seven gods, the only deity among the seven gods who does not know the origin, and it is only said that he arrived in the Wa Kingdom from a distant foreign land, and his image is dressed in hunting clothes, with an expressionless face, holding a fishing rod in his right hand, holding a big-headed fish in his left hand, and the god of mountains and rivers who blesses fishing and hunting, and is the most respected in the early Wa society dominated by fishing. ”
