Chapter 187: Black Stone

The incense in the temple is good, even at night, there are still many believers who come to offer incense to the Buddha, the monks in the temple have no restrictions on visitors, Yunli and Lu Ci can wander around and explore inside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There is a lot of space in it, but except for the front yard part, the rest of the place is idle, and they found that the predecessor of this place is not a temple, probably a place like a college or research institute, because on some door beams or walls, there are also engraved text messages related to it, probably after it was lost and converted into a temple.

The second half of the note is the moonlight and the sky, which is translated, and the original Lao language is to express that the moonlight shines down and reflects the place, and the two walked around for a long time before locking the target location on a sundial in the backyard.

Sundial is the ancient people used the sun's shadow to measure the time of the timing instrument, also known as the sun's gauge, its principle is to use the sun's projection direction to determine and divide the time, the sundial is usually composed of a sundial needle and a sundial surface, this timekeeping method has been used for thousands of years, is a major achievement of human beings in the field of astronomy.

The sundial in the backyard is not much different from the usual ones, except that there is a smooth round copper sheet in the center of it, which can reflect the light to other places.

But at different times, the location of the moonlight is different, Mo Lao did not say which moment the location was mapped, but this is not difficult to Yunli, the route of the moonlight mapping is fixed, that is, limited to a fixed area, to eliminate the impossible place, he finally locked the target on the beam of an abandoned small room on the side of the backyard.

The buildings here are very old, all of which are brick and wood structures of the past, with a herringbone roof made of wood and bricks and tiles, and there are many such old buildings in Laos today. Yunli used electromagnetic force to sense the existence of a clue at one of the ends of the main beam, and when he climbed up to find out, he knew where the target was.

There is a dark grid at the end of the square beam, because it is located at the end of the protruding position, all have no effect on the load-bearing of the beam, and the dark grid is quite hidden and tight, if it is not for the moonlight line prompt, plus the subtle induction of electromagnetic force, that is, Yun Li entered the room to deliberately explore, I am afraid that the secret here will not be discovered, let alone others.

It's a long time, and the beams are already covered with thick dust, but the wood is very good, and it's not so easy to open the dark grid, but fortunately, after two days of adjustment, Yunli's electromagnetic force has almost recovered, and the spirit lizard is directly cast, first by raising the temperature to make the wood expand out of the dark grid, and then quickly cool down to cool the target, grab the end and take out a piece of wood embedded in it.

"Is this piece of wood that Mo Lao instructed us?" Waiting for Yunli to come down with the wooden block, Lu Ci couldn't help but ask out loud, this piece of wood doesn't look special, it's similar to a brick, but it's more square.

"There's a hidden compartment inside the block, and the real thing is hidden in it, and when I get back, I'm going to open the piece of wood, and be careful of being splashed by the slag." After a brief explanation, Yun Li laid the wood flat on the ground, stepped on one end with his foot, and stepped down the other end with the other foot, since he didn't bring any tools, he had to take this temporary measure.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of his perverted legs, the wooden block was quickly broken, and inside was something wrapped in a black cloth, unfolded the black cloth, there was a layer of waterproof sealing oilpaper, and then a layer of white silk, and after all these veils were lifted, the real thing inside was revealed, an irregular jet-black stone and an old cowhide envelope.

These two things are very different from what the two expected, and all of Yun Li's energy is focused on the jet black stone, in fact, from the time he touched the wooden block, he knew that the things in it were not simple, because the electromagnetic force actually had a subtle reaction, this reaction was different from its contact with the strange plants such as the Ice Plum Blossom and the Old Iron Tree, and it was also very different from the mysterious energy in the Qinghei Stone Gate, the reaction was not strong, but it was continuous, and there seemed to be some kind of connection between the two.

Carefully used electromagnetic force to induce and probe, but did not find other noteworthy places, this jet-black stone is only the size of a palm, to be precise, half the size of a palm, flat and warm, similar to a pebble, but it seems to be broken, the other half of the stone is not here.

"It seems that there is only half of this black stone, and the other half has gone, can you see anything special?" Lu Ci also noticed this situation, and when he saw Yun Li holding the stone and flipping it to check, he asked.

"This is not an ordinary stone, it looks like a stone like jade, it is extremely heavy, I can't see what substance it is made of, it may be more convincing to say that it is a meteorite, as for where the other half of it is, I will probably have to ask Old Man Mo to know." Yunli replied.

"Do you think this is what they call the treasure key, the ancient kind of talisman is not also made in half, and together it can show its effectiveness, I think the key should be the same, but this stone is not the image of an ordinary key, so it doesn't make sense." Lu Ci said.

Yun Li agreed with her statement, nodded and said: "There is this possibility, the treasure key is not necessarily a key to unlocking, it may be just a certificate, a logo or a map coordinates, or it is possible that the Lu family has already converted the treasure into general wealth, and the rumored key is just a cover to divert attention." ”

"Mo Lao has hidden this thing so much, there must be a deep meaning, and this letter, let's open it and see what's inside." Unable to get a clue from the jet-black stone, Lu Ci focused his attention on another item.

This cowhide envelope is not sealed, Yunli opened it with a flick, there is only a letter paper inside, there is only a small piece of neat traditional pen words on it, the head is "dear friend" These three words, and it is not written who this best friend is, the first half of the content is the words of reminiscence and greetings, and the back looks like a confession, probably meaning that there is a negative trust, no face and home, the truth of the matter he can't tell in this life, and he doesn't expect his best friend to be considerate and understanding, hoping that there will be an afterlife to repay the mistakes made in this life, the name of the person who paid the money is Mo Chen, This letter was actually written by Mo Lao himself.

"This letter is actually from the old fox's handwriting, and I don't know who his best friend is, and this is written sincerely, it seems that he has a good relationship with this best friend, he is this age, and it is difficult to say whether this best friend is still alive." After reading the contents of the letter, Yunli was also a little surprised.

"Maybe Mo Lao's original idea was to entrust this black stone to this close friend, but because of the negative trust, he didn't have the courage to contact him again, so he brought Dong XC here, and now it's in our hands, should we help him find this best friend and return the things to Zhao?" Lu Ci guessed.

"That's probably it, but there are no clues, you can't find anyone with the word 'best friend' alone, the old fox must have a way to get out of the control of the Lu family, and when he knows that things are taken away by us, he will naturally take the initiative to contact us, didn't you tell him all the contact methods?" Yunli replied.

"That's the only way, let's go back, you'll keep the things, but don't break it." Lu Ci put away the envelope and handed it to Yun Li, and pointed to the jet-black stone in his hand and asked, she knew that Yunli was very interested in studying strange things, and this jet-black stone naturally could not escape his clutches.

"Huh? If this is an extraterrestrial meteorite, maybe I can study something, find aliens, and unite them to occupy the earth, and this planet will be my territory in the future, and I don't have to bother to get fake cards and fake certificates. Yunli heard Lu Ci's ridiculous tone, so he continued with the words.

Lu Ci scolded him with a smile, "It's not serious", the two packed up their things, and made sure that outsiders couldn't see any clues before leaving, before leaving, Lu Ci was on a whim, and he also learned to worship in front of the Buddha statue like other believers, praying that they could return safely this time, and at the same time wishing Mo Lao good health.

But Lu Ci's move didn't work, at least not at the moment, because they just wanted to stay in a hotel in the tourist area of Lang Bo Street, but they were found to have forged documents, not only could they not settle down, but the hotel manager also had to call the police to deal with it, so that Yun Li pulled Lu Ci and fled, and finally got in the car and drove out for a long way to escape this catastrophe.

In this way, other hotels and inns they are estimated to be unable to enter, helplessly, Yunli went to the residential area south of Lang Bo Street, and finally stopped in front of a two-story house, because the time is still early, it is only nine o'clock in the evening, the family of the house is resting in the small courtyard, and saw the sports car parked in front of their house, and the man came over with a big sunflower fan to see what it was.

This is the outer edge of the tourist area, the infrastructure is not perfect, there are no street lights on the roadside, relying on the light from the surrounding houses, so as not to rely on the unclear moonlight to see the road. With limited line of sight, the owner of the house could only see the general outline of the people inside through the transparent window of the canopy, but this outline touched a nerve in his mind, and his body involuntarily leaned close to the sports car to see it clearly.

At this time, the canopy of the sports car suddenly moved, slowly opening back, he didn't need to stick to his face to see the face of the person inside, he didn't have time to speak urgently, he heard Yunli's words: "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for more than a year, you and your sister-in-law and children are fine." ”

"Brother Yunli, it's really you, why didn't you come to Lang Bo Street without notifying me in advance, I was still wondering who it was just now." Yunli got out of the car, and the owner of the house hugged him warmly, shook the big sunflower fan, and looked him up and down, as if to see if Yunli had changed from before.
