Chapter 7: The Secret of the Bamboo Slips
I pulled out the bamboo slips hidden in the frame, and found that they were all seals, although I used to look good at this font, and I saw some, but I couldn't recognize them all for a while, and some of them were burned out, and I couldn't recognize the words on them. I'll transcribe them all for now, and I'll sort them out when I've found out the translations.
At that moment, I called Gu Fei and told him that I was going back, and by the way, I told him that the painting was destroyed in my hands. But about the bamboo slips, I want to go back and find out, and then tell him. It's just strange, since Old Man Xiao also intends to find that place, how could he not think of taking it apart for so long in his hands, maybe what is recorded in it is important information such as location.
Unsurprisingly, Gu Fei exclaimed on the other end of the phone: "What? Lost paintings? I heard a noisy voice from his side again, probably Wu Laosi's movements, "What's the matter, what are you doing?" ”
I asked him to speak carefully, that Wu Laosi was still on the side, don't shout so much: "Anyway, the specific situation, when I go back, I'll tell you again, I'm already on the road now." ”
If they knew that I had destroyed the painting, would they break the jar and make me pay the price, such as exchanging something for me, so that this painting was still a "treasure" that everyone snatched before, but it was burned down not long after it came into my hands. I couldn't laugh or cry, grandma's fire really burned me and caused me something.
Gu Fei has been in the hospital for more than half a month, he is in good health, and his injuries are almost the same, as soon as I came, he gave me a look, only to find that Wu Laosi was sitting there with a gloomy face, and when he saw me looking at him, he looked up at me and smiled, which made me uncomfortable.
I pretended to be relaxed and threw my backpack on Gu Fei: "Bring you something to eat." He glanced at Wu Laosi again and said to Gu Fei, "I have something I want to talk to you about alone." ”
This was said to Wu Laosi, who was also interested, and got up and patted his trouser leg: "You talk, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette." ”
After I saw that he was completely out of sight and couldn't see the figure, I said to Gu Fei: "The painting was burned, my grandmother burned it." ”
"What? Go up in flames? He paused, as if relieved, "I thought I had been snatched away by the group of people in black." How? Does your grandmother really know about this painting? ”
I nodded, focusing on peeling the apple, he wasn't worried about the painting being ruined, how would his uncle explain it?
I recounted to Gu Fei what my grandmother said about my grandfather taking people to break in sixty years ago, and I saw that he didn't have much affection, and after taking a few bites of apples, he said, "According to your grandmother, that place is quite mysterious......"
"Isn't it, it's a place that explorers only go to when I hear it, and it's really strange that a small civilian like me wants to go, right?" I saw that he didn't react, so I patted him, "How is it, can you be discharged from the hospital?" ”
He immediately made a gesture to get out of the hospital bed: "It's good morning, and I don't look at my buddy's physique, if it weren't for that Wu Laosi staring at me and not letting me out of the hospital, I would have run away." ”
I knew it!
"Then you stay here first, and I'll go through the discharge procedures for you." After saying that, I regretted it, I was hospitalized for more than half a month, the cost was not low, I gritted my teeth, and my flesh hurt a little. Forget it, count what I owe him.
On the way back, Gu Fei and Wu Laosi said a word, and I also roughly understood the origin of the black suit that attacked us that day. It is said that they are from a secret research institute abroad, and the boss is a foreigner who is obsessed with supernatural phenomena, and he doesn't know where he learned some things about this painting, and he wants people to get his hands on it, which is what happened.
I thought to myself, there are few people who know the secret in that painting, and there are only a handful of living people who know Gu Yuetan. Now, I only learned some fur from my grandmother, maybe the foreigner got a completely different message from me.
In order to take care of each other, Gu Fei didn't go back to the hotel to live, and lived directly in my house, while Wu Laosi and Abang rented a house nearby, and everyone else was driven away by me, there were too many people, but it was eye-catching.
I was anxious to know the information recorded on the bamboo slips, and as soon as I got home, I nested in the room, and I asked Gu Fei not to be idle, and to check that sixty or seventy years ago, there had been no appalling supernatural accidents in China. As for Wu Laosi, I didn't let them be idle, in case the bamboo slips were discovered, I asked them to go out and prepare equipment, climbing ropes, sabers, gas masks, compressed biscuits, etc., and it was best to get more self-defense, such as guns and explosives. He asked me if I had a way, and I told him not to ask more, just prepare. If nothing else, on the bamboo slips, there will definitely be a record of the reminder information about the location of Guyuetan, and it is only a matter of time before you set off.
"Lingyi, have you ever heard about the Pisces Jade Pendant?" I was busy sorting out the translated content, I didn't have the heart to think about it, and of course I didn't notice his doubts, so I casually replied, "No, what's wrong?" ”
He tapped the keyboard a few times and placed it directly in front of me: "I have heard of it before, and I just suddenly remembered that Pisces Jade Pendant was involved in several things, the earliest of which happened between 1957 and 1962, and the person who went to the ancient city of Lop Nur to search for antiquities ended up very similar to those people in your grandmother's mouth, either dead or crazy." ”
As soon as I heard it, I immediately cheered up and asked him not to speak, and it took me more than half an hour to read all the incidents about Pisces Jade Pendant on the Internet, and one more thing also caught my attention, that is, the Dandong 917 replicant incident.
The meaning of taking care of Fei is that the incident of sixty years ago is related to the incident in the ancient city of Lop Nur, but it is unlikely to think about it, Lop Nur is located in a remote area, and the country was still very backward sixty years ago, and it is impossible for Grandpa Tai to take people to that kind of place no matter how capable he is, not to mention that the crazy person will not be able to return here from such a far away place in Lop Nur.
I shook my head, not quite sure, maybe there really was such a crazy person? I asked Gu Fei to sort out all these materials and print them out, maybe I can use them in the future. It never hurts to know more.
I continued to sort out the content that was transcribed, except for the content that was burned out and couldn't be seen clearly, the others have been roughly arranged in order, the text is crepe, roughly saying that the ancient Yue Lake is the key to a certain underground palace, and the ancient Yue Lake is located in the middle of nowhere, the entrance is magnificent, there are mountains and rivers. And the scene at the entrance is even more unpredictable, sometimes like a rainbow, sometimes like a cloud, and more often like a brocade in the nine heavens.
The more I looked, the more confused I became, there are mountains and rivers, majestic?
I looked at the part of the vacancy that had been burned down, and all that was left was the word "Afang". Ah Fang? Could it be that you mean Afang Palace? It can't be a room A, right?
Afang Palace, Lishan north structure and west fold, go straight to Xianyang. If it is good, it is the two places of Lishan and Xianyang that are the most suspicious. Xianyang, the first imperial capital of China, don't think about it for the time being, after all, it is too different from this place in the painting, and there is no too magnificent natural landscape in the impression, so the target is temporarily locked in Xi'an Lishan.
"Gu Fei, have you ever been to Xi'an?"
"Xi'an? I haven't been there, why are you going to see the Terracotta Warriors? ”
I put the transcript away: "If you want to see it, you can read it." After a pause, "Maybe we can go to Xi'an Lishan to have a look, there may be clues there." ”
He looked up at me stunned, and only reacted after a while: "You mean that the painting was painted in Xi'an?" Where did you know that? ”
I shrugged my shoulders, and when I said about the bamboo slip, he subconsciously wanted to push me up, but I avoided it: "You don't say such an important thing?!" I thought the painting was burned and it was really over. ”
However, just based on the word "Ah Fang", it is a bit hasty to determine that it is in Xi'an, and what are those rainbows, mistones, and Jiutian Sujin, what are they implying in the end? The content of the bamboo slips is incomplete, so you can only take one step at a time.
