"Who are all nine pieces of paper useful?" Lin Shan's eyes suddenly showed a sly smile, and he spread his hands and said, "Only the four pieces of paper of 1653 are useful, and the other five pieces of paper are all waste paper used as a barrier." ”
Mo Ye suddenly sighed: "There are five fake ones in the nine pieces of paper, if it weren't for the master's step-by-step guidance today, I'm afraid Ye Er would have calculated this set of numbers, and in the end he was still confused." ”
"That's hard, you don't think like that, just because others won't. Don't forget, this set of formulas is also thought up with human brains, and naturally there are people who have this brain to solve the mystery, it's just a matter of time. ”
Lin Shan stretched out his fingers to remove the few empty pages on the table, and put the remaining four pieces of paper back together in the order of the numbers, and then he raised his head and looked at Mo Ye and said: "Although there will be a moment when the mystery will be solved, just like paper can't wrap fire forever, but the time delayed because of these obstacles is difficult to recover, which is the true intention of the secret method." ”
Mo Ye repeated Lin Shan's words several times in her heart, and finally she nodded lightly, but there was still a trace of confusion in her eyes.
Lin Shan took out two small cylindrical porcelain vases and a thin bamboo tube from the box where he had just used the 'strange pen'.
Mo Ye, who was standing on the side, silently watched Lin Shan's actions, she felt that the shape of the two small bottles was too strange, so she couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" ”
"Dip." Lin Shan smiled at Mo Ye, he also felt that the things he taught Mo Ye just now were too dull, and he had to intersperse some conciliatory things, so he deliberately explained carefully to the two bottles in his hand. Because he knew that Mo Ye had a great curiosity about some strange things.
"Get up, this is still made for me by your Grandpa Liao."
Lin Shan unscrewed the corks of the two bottles, poured out a little of the contents of each bottle into a small inkstone, and then stirred it up with the thin cylinder, while continuing: "I don't know where he got these two things, but they are really good. When you want to get something. Mix the two together to form a dipping liquid. The stickiness is stronger than that of paste, and it is not so heavy with moisture, so if it is stained with particularly thin paper, it is not easy to deform the paper. Dry it fast, too. ”
With Lin Shan's detailed explanation, Mo Ye's eyes quickly showed a novel look. She stared at the small inkstone and saw that there was not a trace of ink in it. However, there was a lot of paste, which did not merge with the liquid that Lin Shan, which was stirring at this time and was beginning to thicken. She secretly pondered in her heart: It seems that this inkstone has been specially used by the master for pounding liquid for a long time.
Lin Shan used the thin tube to pound in the small inkstone only a few times before stopping, so that the mucus had melted. Then I saw him pull out one end of the tube. The envelope was detached, and Mo Ye realized that this thin cylinder was actually a Xiaohao, but it had the same function as the small inkstone, which was used to brush mucus.
Looking at Lin Shan pinching the strange little hao, and began to brush the edges of the pieces of paper on the table with the liquid in the inkstone, Mo Ye subconsciously sighed. Then he wondered: "Liao...... Isn't Grandpa Liao a Langzhong? How could he get this weird stuff? ”
Mo Ye had also heard that Liao Shi had a strange name outside, known as "Medicine Ghost". But she didn't know that these two words represented some of Liao Shi's past. And because of the medicine that came from Liao Shi's hands and taken for nearly five years, and then remembered Liao Shi's clumsy and thin figure, Mo Ye didn't have much of a good impression of him, so she didn't know much about him from Lin Shan. For a long time, Liao Shi's identity has only been simply identified as a medical practitioner in Mo Ye's heart.
"He is known as the 'medicine ghost', and he is extremely skilled in the use of medicine, and this discovery is not unreasonable for him."
Lin Shan brushed the edges of those pieces of paper with slime in only three or two strokes, it seems that he usually does not do a lot of such things, and his technique is fast and accurate. After a pause and waiting for the slime to dry a little more before pasting, he added, "When one delves into one thing to the extreme, he will find that there are many mysteries of it. For example, the pen I used to write just now was actually made of black charcoal left over from the burning of firewood. ”
"Oh!" Lin Shan was stunned when he came here, and then he glanced at Mo Ye fixedly, and somehow Mo Ye felt uncomfortable. Then I heard him suddenly say: "Liao Shi also made a kind of three-flower ointment, according to which he often applies this ointment to make the skin white and tender, and it is not necessary for people who are sick to use it." The next time you meet him, remember to remind me, I'll ask him for a box. ”
Mo Ye was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't want it, the last time he came, he left a pair of medicine to haunt me for five years, and I don't want anything from him anymore!" Besides, I'm not suitable for me to walk on the road with swaggering women's makeup, smearing my face so finely, why don't I let others see the joke? ”
"It's called being prepared, are you really going to dress up as this 'tomboy' until you're old?" Lin Shan laughed, and then his expression gradually became serious, but it was because the slime on the few pieces of paper on the table had already been almost dry in just these few words, and it was time to paste it.
Lin Shan's movements skillfully put together four small pieces of paper, two on top and bottom to form a square paper. Mo Ye only glanced at it and found that a complete picture of the structure of the house was immediately displayed in front of him, and the lines at the junction of the two papers were also very straight and seamless.
She stared for a moment, then stretched out her finger to the drawing, and blurted out, "Here, where we are standing now, then above is my room." ”
Lin Shan nodded and said, "After analyzing it with the secret method, rearranging the sequence numbers, and then combining this drawing, the content it expresses is actually very simple. But what I want to teach you today is not this simple thing, but the 'location map' of our house. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and flipped the paper on the table. When he paved it again, Mo Ye saw the reverse side of this drawing, with some shadow patterns scattered and scattered.
There is no line connection between these shadow patterns, if it weren't for Mo Ye's subconscious different attitude towards this piece of paper, she would probably directly use these shadow shadows as ink that was accidentally stained on the paper.
But despite all her foreknowledge, she still didn't understand what the shadow patterns represented.
But this time, without waiting for her to ask, she heard Lin Shan speak slowly: "I mentioned to you yesterday that the actual structure of this study is similar to an iron cage. And now I want to tell you in detail, not only in the study, but also in this house, there are actually several other iron cages. ”
When he came here, his expression became solemn, his brows gathered slightly, and then he stretched out, and continued: "Because you were too young in the early years, I was afraid of accidents, so I didn't use these 'iron cages'. Later, life was smooth, so I didn't care about it, and today I can show it in front of you. ”
Lin Shanba walked to the back of the desk, pulled out all the bottom drawers with a "bang", held them with both hands, then stood up and pointed to the tabletop and said, "Scoop it and follow me." ”
Mo Ye Yiyan took the drawing and followed Lin Shan out of the study.
Coming to the gate, Lin Shan put down the drawer in his hand, took the paper Mo Ye was holding, and glued its upper edge to the top of the door frame. The boxy drawing hangs down, and the sunlight outside the house reflects on the paper, so that the shadow pattern on the back of the paper coincides with the layout of the house on the front. Seeing this scene, Mo Ye immediately understood the meaning expressed by those shadows, which might be the 'location map' in Lin Shan's mouth.
And when Mo Ye found that one of the four shadows appeared in her bedroom, she couldn't help but lose her voice: "My room actually has this thing?" ”
According to the meaning of Hayashi's words, the location of the shadow indicates that something like a cage is set. And thinking that she had been resting, practicing, reading and being in a daze in such a place for nearly ten years, even if Mo Ye couldn't imagine what it was like to be in a cage now, she couldn't help but be surprised.
Lin Shan was squatting and rummaging in the drawer, and said casually, "Do you know why?" ”
"The study, my aunt's room and me, and the cubicle with the portrait on it......" Mo Ye's gaze swept back and forth on the ghosting paper a few times, while contemplating. Finally, she rubbed her forehead and said slowly: "Master, you have once, when the iron cage hinders people's steps, it also protects the people in the cage. Therefore, I am young and weak in the whole family, and my aunt does not know martial arts, so the two of us need to be protected, and there should be a lot of things in Master's study that also need to be kept secret. It's just that compartment, Ye Er doesn't know ......"
"In this compartment, I will take you in every day to pay homage, because I want you to remember the fastest way to run into this room." Lin Shan had already picked out three strangely shaped wooden blocks from the drawer, and after he stood up, he said, "This compartment is the closest to the study, you and hers, so it is set up as a place where you can be protected in the shortest possible time when danger comes." When the 'WalkPoint' is fully functional, the cubicle will not turn into an iron cage, but into a large chest made of iron walls. ”
Mo Ye was slightly stunned, and when she conceived a large iron box in her mind, her eyes widened slightly, and her lips moved, but she didn't say half a word, and finally she just took a deep breath.
Following Lin Shan's footsteps to the door of the study, Mo Ye saw Lin Shan take out a dagger from his sleeve, squat down and pry open a floor tile under the door frame.
At this time, Lin Shan pointed at a wooden block placed in the square groove under the floor tiles with a dagger, and said to Mo Ye, who was squatting beside him: "Only the movement point of the study was opened a long time ago, that is, this kind of wooden block is embedded, and it can be used just by touching the opening point." But this set is too dynamic and inflexible, so it can only be activated once, so you can only watch me embed the other three blocks. ”…… (To be continued.)
