The morning sun had not yet stained the ground, so I carefully cleaned up my bed. Thinking back to yesterday evening, Dongyang and Xiaorou and I finally decided to set off this morning and rush to Xiaoman County to find the third master. After getting the address, take a plane to Xi'an as soon as possible.

I packed two changes of clothes in my backpack, and inserted the hilt of the Seven Sects Sword into my waist. Take out a piece of paper and hastily write a paragraph:

I have something to leave school for a few days, and if anyone asks to help me hide it, thank you, buddy! Come back and treat you to a big meal.

Zhang Yao

Maybe he heard the movement, Dongyang also got up, cleaned up briefly, and the two of us left the bedroom gently.

I don't know how long this journey will take, but I tugged on my backpack, and I seem to have become accustomed to this kind of life.

When she walked out of the old dormitory building, Xu Xiaoli was already waiting there, and she only brought simple equipment.

The three of us looked at each other and headed out of the school.

Dongyang drove the A6, I sat in the co-pilot, Xiaoli sat in the back, and we didn't talk at first.

I turned to the side: "Xiaoli, do you know how many people they went?" ”

She nodded: "Ding Xiaorou, Fifth Master, Qian, and Fifth Master's two sons and two apprentices with foreign surnames." ”

"So many people?" I took a deep breath of reluctance.

Xiaoli's tone was a little sad: "I think the fifth master should be the last time to rob the tomb, no matter how brilliant a person has been, there will always be a day when he is old." ”

Yes~~ We will all grow old and die, but I don't know how the fifth master would feel if he understood Xiaorou and Qian, and whether he also wanted to pursue immortality.

"Then how about you, the third master? Why did he choose to live in Xiaoman County? I continued to ask her.

"Third master, I haven't seen him for many years. He didn't come when my dad was buried last year, and I heard that it was because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet. The third master has never married a wife in his life, so he has no children and no daughters. In Xiaoman County, there is an orchard left by my grandfather. He's always there. He only went when the fifth master was looking for him, and he never did it alone. ”

Listening to Xiaoli's narration, I imagined the characteristics of this old man, he should be quite a lonely person.

Dongyang's car drove very fast, and Xiaoman County was not too far from the city, so we arrived at about eight o'clock.

Xiaoli showed us the direction, and the car drove 5 or 6 kilometers out of the county seat to a hill. Thanks to Dongyang, he drove an off-road vehicle. If it was the earthquake of Huang Run, it is estimated that the territory would have been knocked out long ago.

At the foot of the hill there is a small gray-white house with no yard and fruit trees all around. It stretches all the way up the hillside.

Now this season, the fruit trees have long since lost their fruits, and even most of the leaves have fallen. Dongyang drove A6 to the door of the small room, and several of us left the carriage one after another.

"Third master! Third master, are you there? I'm Xiaoli. Xu Xiaoli knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Dongyang and I looked at each other. I looked around the small room. Looking through the small glass window, it seems that no one is there.

I asked Xiaoli with some confusion: "Didn't you say that your third master has bad legs?" So how does he usually live. ”

"I don't know, I really haven't moved in years. If my grandfather were still alive, the brothers would have been together. She said regretfully.

"Who are you looking for?!" Suddenly, a rough male voice came from a distance. The three of us walked around the car and looked at the source of the voice, which turned out to be a country man, with a dark complexion and grass-green overalls. A yellow hat obscured half of his face.

Xiaoli stepped forward: "Let's look for the third master, I am his grandniece." ”

The man took off his straw hat and put it on his chest. They looked at us one by one.

"Xu Sanye was hospitalized half a month ago, and I haven't heard that he has any relatives." The man walked to the well with a muttering to himself, picked up the scoop on the ground, took it as he pressed it, and drank it immediately.

"May I ask you are you" Xiaoli also had doubts about the identity of this man.

He wiped a handful of water from his mouth, nodded and said, "I am the nurse of this orchard, and I still help take care of Xu Sanye's life if I have nothing to do, I just came back from the hospital to get something." ”

"Then which hospital is he in now, we have an urgent matter to find him." I was anxious to know the location of King Wen of Zhou's tomb, because I didn't know how long Xiaorou would be able to find Tianshending, and the longer the delay, the smaller my chances of seeing her again.

"Tell me something, the old man is basically delirious now." He sighed, looked at the distant mountain full of fruit trees, and still muttered, "Maybe I won't survive the end of this year." ”

The three of us were surprised when he said this, so what should we do now, we don't know how to find dragons and explore caves, do we really have to look for them from mountain to mountain?

"Then can we go into the house and find some things for the third master?" Xiaoli's reckless words made the man stunned: "What are you talking about?" Want to get inside and find something? Then how can I let you in, this house is full of Xu Sanye's treasures. Besides, I have doubts about your identity. ”

Xiaoli didn't give up a few steps and walked in front of the man: "We just want to find a map, and we're in a hurry now, please." ”

"Impossible, you guys hurry up." The man began to give the eviction order, ready to twist us out.

"Okay!" I shook my hand, walked over to him, and patted him on the shoulder.

The man rolled his eyes and fell to the ground in an instant.

Dongyang looked at me in horror.

"It's okay, I just called him, I guess he will wake up in half an hour, what should I look for."

The three men carried the man into the room and began to rummage through all the cabinets, no, no, no, I even rummaged through the quilt.

Where can these three masters put important things?

I pinched my chin and looked around the room, and a square mirror hanging from the wall caught my attention.

I went over and took off the mirror and turned it around to see that the bottom plate of the yellow paper shell was fastened inside with small rivets. The shaking hand is a little shaky, and it feels like there is something in the mezzanine.

I used my fingernails to pick a few nails open and pulled out the bottom plate, and sure enough, a yellowed and folded piece of paper fell to the ground.

Xiaoli and Dongyang both came over, and I slowly spread out the yellow paper, on which I used a brush to draw strange shapes horizontally and vertically.

I frowned and tried to understand the meaning, but unfortunately my understanding was too low, and no matter how I looked, I felt that the picture looked like a ghost drawing.

Xu Xiaoli took the paper in my hand and looked at her expression very understandingly. Dongyang and I stared blankly at her, and sure enough, we waited for a few minutes. She raised her head and said with a serious face, "Let's go, I already know the approximate location." ”

"Well done!" I'm going to pat her on the shoulder and give her a thumbs up.

But she quickly dodged it.

"How? Disgusted with me? I withdrew my hand in embarrassment.

Dongyang walked past me and said to himself, "She's afraid that you will have electricity in your hands." ”

"Huh? If you two don't praise me, forget it, and bury me, right? ”

I am in a happy mood with the address, and the next step is to fly to Xi'an. (To be continued.) )
