Chapter 6: The Old Man's Three Tasks

Looking at these two boxes of classics shining with the glorious glory of the ancestors, Li Mobai seemed to see the scene of the white-haired ancestors concentrating on the study of knowledge, and experiencing the pride of the ancestors who would rather hide in the world than be slaves, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly understood, maybe this is the real literati style, and he will never bend his waist for five buckets of rice!

"This wooden box is the core essence of our Li family's survival, the title of the ancestor is called "Golden Stone Treasure", you put it away, no matter what danger you face, you must protect it, you would rather destroy it than never flow out!" The old man carefully took out the treasured classics on it, and took out a small box from the bottom of the box, this small box turned out to be a beautiful Ming Dynasty Pingyao push-light wooden tire painted gold painted lacquerware, the ink black primer painted with gold painted a family banquet picture, the picture is bright and gorgeous, the characters are neat and free, the image is realistic, a magnificent scene, the inscription "Li Xie Yuan Chinese New Year's Eve Family Banquet" seven words, Li Mobai knows that this is an old object left by the ancestor of a certain Niu Bi in the Ming Dynasty.

The lid of the box is painted with gold of the characters of the Three Kingdoms, there are Cao Ying and Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and other five tiger generals, etc., it is obvious that this is the layout of the Huarong Road game, there is a lock hole at the exit, take the key handed over by the old man, insert the lock hole, and find that the lock cylinder is still unobstructed, and it has not been rusted due to time at all.

"To open this box, not only must you have a key, but you also need to unlock this horizontal knife immediately!" The old man explained with a smile. Huarong Dao game, is one of the three most difficult puzzle games in the world, it is rumored to have originated in the Mengyuan era, the game is based on Cao Ying's defeat of the red cliff, Guan Yu in Huarong Daoyi interpretation of Cao Ying's story as the prototype, after thousands of years of development, the game has hundreds of layouts, but the horizontal knife is still one of the most classic layouts.

Li Mobai is no stranger to Huarong Dao games, he used to play them when he was a child, although he knew that the old man must have unlocked it many times, but looking at the old man's expression, he obviously had no intention of doing it. Li Mobai had to do it himself, and it took more than 20 minutes and more than 100 steps to solve this puzzle. This is not a bad result, the Americans used the computer exhaustive method to crack it, and it took 81 steps, not to mention that Li Mobai used his brain to crack it, of course, skilled players can naturally solve it in 81 steps after remembering the steps.

When the white-faced Cao Ying escaped smoothly from Huarong Road, he opened the box and found that the box was very shallow, and only a thin book was placed inside, which was made by the best Huixuan, and was well preserved. Stretched out his hand to pick it up, and when he looked at the paper, he knew that the book was written during the Republic of China, but after opening it, he found that it was full of golden seals, and the content in it was only a table of contents and an overview, so he raised his eyes to look at the old man, but found that the old man's expression was full of the cunning unique to the old man.

"Old man, this is obviously written in the Republic of China period, but how come it is all golden texts, and the golden texts found so far are only 37,800 words, and there are more than 1,000 unrecognized, which is not in line with common sense? And there is only a table of contents to go without content, didn't you just say that there are 20 volumes? Li Mobai frowned and said the question in his heart.

"Hehe, my old man has devoted his whole life to studying the notes of his ancestors according to the catalog, and he has only figured out three or four of them, and he has taught you all the things that he will know, and if you want to see your grandfather's writings, you need to open the following lock!" The old man smirked.

"The ancestors of my Li family have found and identified the golden text has already exceeded 5,000 words, and the first father is your grandfather is even more amazing, after mastering all the words and experience notes, he will summarize the experience of my Li family treasure and jade into a book, and record it with gold for future generations, one is to prevent the loss of the misdemeanor, and the other is to encourage future generations to work hard to study, so as to inherit the family inheritance, but it is really well-intentioned! As for the contents of the 20 volumes, of course, they are also in this box, because a key key is missing! ”

"Uh, that's great, what a pedant!" Li Mobai was in awe of the old lady he had never seen before, and admired the five-body throw, "Even now, it is enough to cause a ninth-level tsunami in the academic world, but unfortunately it can't be opened yet, is the key lost?" If it weren't for his grandfather's relics, Li Mobai would be curious and want to open it violently.

"Hehe, the content of these 20 volumes must not be passed on, and it is the foundation of our Li family's survival. My Li family has a pair of superb Hetian mutton fat white jade dragon and phoenix jade pendants, which are passed down from generation to generation, when your father married your mother, your grandmother gave it to your mother, and Long Pei disappeared with your grandfather, and no trace has been found until now, I only have a rubbing here, if you find it in the future, no matter how much money you have to find it back, no matter how much! If you find this dragon-shaped jade pendant, you can open this box, get the "Golden Stone Treasure Book" left by your grandfather, and learn the knowledge and words inside! The old man's expression was a little bitter.

"As for the results of literary research, it's not that my Li family keeps these achievements secret, but that the ancestors have no good impression of the Yi people, and they have always pursued the principle of keeping a low profile, and they are rich people, and even if they say it, they don't recognize it. At the beginning of the last century, the ancestors of my Li family also spoke out at the time of national crisis, and did not hesitate to spill their blood, and the ancestors of my Li family were present in Xinhai, May Fourth, and the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. ”

"However, my Li family has never given up, so that my Li family is now left with our lineage, woohoo lament!" The old man sighed, his expression was a little gloomy, "After the ancestor sorted out the core of the family heirloom "Jinshi Baojian", he wanted to let the ancestors' knowledge reappear in the sky, but the Japanese invaders made a rebellion and finally died with the Japanese invaders, and the poor father was only thirty and five years old at the time!" When the old man said this, he was already in tears.

"Grandpa, don't be sad, the first grandfather asks for benevolence, and he will have no regrets!" Although Li Mobai knew a little, it was the first time he heard the old man say it himself, and he was also moved, but after all, the old man was already seventy-five, so he should not be too sad, so he hurriedly said comfortingly, but in his heart he was extremely curious about his grandfather's affairs, but it was not easy to ask.

"You're right, ask for kindness, and you will have no regrets!" After all, decades have passed, and the old man has not indulged in sadness too much, "Your grandfather is extremely clever and strategic, in order to protect the national treasure from falling into the hands of the Japanese people, he has a strange plan to trap and kill more than 100 Japanese thieves, which should be a song to cry!" ”

After listening to the old man's words, Li Mobai was greatly moved, booby-trapping more than 100 thieves, what kind of concept is this, and his heart is also very cowardly. So he walked to the portrait of the old lady, stood respectfully, threw himself to the ground, and bowed deeply three times. Although they have never met, such a feat, even strangers should often worship it, and it is still the first grandfather of his own family.

"Grandpa, in fact, Mo Bai has grown up, you shouldn't continue to hide your emotions in your belly, Mo Bai can share it for you!" After worshipping the first master, Li Mobai said to the old man seriously.

"Hehe, isn't this just telling you, in fact, it's all in the past, isn't it good now? Although there are too many injustices, but it is stable and food and clothing, I believe that if your first grandfather knows about it, he will also be gratified by it! The old man quickly recovered his sadness, after all, it has been decades, "Mo Bai, you study these classics slowly, Long Pei doesn't mean that you can find them if you find them, I still have something to say!" ”

"Yes, grandpa, just give me orders!" Li Mobai said solemnly.

"Come, come and sit down and say", the old man saw that Li Mobai had seriously worshiped the first master, and said with a kind face, "Since you promised to inherit the Li family's family learning, then according to the family rules that my Li family has been inheriting, you need to complete three tasks, are you willing?" ”

"Grandpa, I'm willing, no matter what the task is!" The old man would not have any bad thoughts about his grandson, Li Mobai replied.

"Hehe, the times have changed, and my old man is not a stubborn person who sticks to the ancestral system, just keep pace with the times and change it in combination with the current situation of the times!" The old man paused and said, "The first thing is to find the dragon pendant and open this box, learn all the contents of the "Golden Stone Treasure Book" as much as possible, and organize the precious classics and academic insights collected by the ancestors into a book and publish it, which can be regarded as making up for a regret of your ancestors, don't think about using rubbings to engrave a dragon pendant to open the box first, I have already tried." ”

"The second thing, is to test your eyesight, although my father's "Golden Stone Treasure" can not be opened, but the notes of my Li family ancestors have also recorded a lot, antique jade jade has always been the pillar of my Li family in the economy, my requirement is to find ten genuine antiques within a year, must be a reasonable price, appreciation space is huge; It is also necessary to buy ten pieces of Hetian jade and jade jade wool, and the requirement is to gamble on seven rises. Although you have already found a national treasure, after all, there is an element of luck, and the rules left by the elders still have to be followed, and in terms of jade and jade, you are inexperienced, and you still need to exercise well. Third, you know that my Li family's ancestors are a big family, and the business of antiques, jewelry and jade is the best in the world, so I want you to restore the glory of your ancestors and get back the old mansion handed down by your ancestors! ”

"Grandpa, there is no doubt about the first and second self, but I am confused about the children and grandchildren of the old house in the third item!" Li Mobai was a little puzzled, the first and second are easy to say, why did the third come out of an old mansion that he had never heard of?

"This matter has to start with your first grandfather, come on, I'll tell you in detail today, old man, I'm old, it's time for you to know!"
