Lin Shan nodded.

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Mo Ye's mind, and he said with a smile: "Master, Ye Er feels that this creed has another effect, that is, the restraining force between each other. If the paper scroll and the creed are obtained by one person together, then the person who cracks the mystery can only get one of them, because in the case of buying a lock - or in front of the lock thief, the lock will not work without the key, and the key without the lock is also a piece of scrap metal! ”

"Clever." Lin Shan praised and said with a smile: "I really had this intention in dealing with these two things in the first place. If these two things fall into the hands of a man, even if he can think of reading the contents of the creed by roasting it over a fire, the scroll of paper will be destroyed when it touches the fire. If this person can also decipher the reading of paper scrolls, he must also know that paper scrolls are afraid of fire, then eighty percent will not dare to use fire to test this creed again. ”

"But ......"

After Lin Shan calmly brought out the question that Mo Ye thought of in his heart, the words suddenly changed, and he said slowly: "Just like you have lived, there are always a few people in the world who are not controlled by the law, if they have the idea of doing the opposite, or they are simply stupid and fearless, or the person who cracks this secret letter is not just one person, under the attack of different ideas at the same time, the mystery of this secret letter is still weak. ”

"Although it is luck for a blind cat to meet a dead mouse, as long as the opponent gets this unpredictable luck, my efforts for more than ten years will not only be ruined, but may even become a weapon to hurt myself, so I have to be cautious again and again."

At this point, Lin Shan took out a thin booklet from the drawer and put it on the table, pushed it to Mo Ye, and then continued: "The invisible handwriting, the letters and things that contain each other with contradictory materials, are only the appearance of protection, in fact, its real mystery lies in this set of formulas. ”

Mo Ye stretched out his hand to take the booklet, opened the cover page and glanced at it, and then said with doubts in his eyes: "It's all numbers?" ”

"Give you a few days to memorize this set of mantras first, and then I'll teach you how to use it." Lin Shan smiled slightly, hesitated for a moment and said: "You only need to memorize the first page, and the remaining pages are actually the layout drawings of our house, of course, they are also cut and bound into a book after being disrupted." ”

Mo Ye knew that it was not something that could be done in a short time to memorize these mantras, so after taking a look, she closed the cover of the booklet and was not in a hurry to act.

Rubbing the plain cover of the booklet, she thought of another question and said, "Master, why does our house use this mantra to block its layout?" ”

"Because the interior layout of this house is different from that of ordinary houses, and this difference is also purposeful, I want to tell you about this, but I don't want anyone but you to know about it. A few years ago, you were too young, and it was a bit inappropriate to tell you about this at that time, but I was afraid that I would be tormented by the drawings every day in the past few years, so I kept the layout drawings. ”

Lin Shan pondered for a while, then he stood up and walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and patted the wall, and said to Mo Yewen: "When this house was built, the stones and timber were all ready-made products transported from other places. You should be aware that no matter what is going on in this study, no one outside can hear it. ”

"Yes, I was able to find out this after going out alone, but I didn't expect this to be intentional by Master."

Mo Ye had also stood up, left the desk and walked to the wall. She also reached out her palm and gently patted the wall of the study like Lin Shan, but she couldn't hear the meaning of the sound of slapping on the wall.

"If you strip the material of the exterior of the walls of this study, it should look like a large cage, protecting and imprisoning the people in the cage." Lin Shan, who spoke in a very casual tone, suddenly smiled, glanced at the narrow window above the bookshelf and high from the ground, and there was a hint of mystery in his eyes: "Last night, I deliberately opened the vent of this cage to let that mouse steal a piece of 'bad pastry' that was about to be discarded by me. ”

"Master, it turns out that you also have childish times." Mo Ye smiled slyly and spoke mischievously.

Lin Shan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he coughed dryly and sorted out his feelings, and said in a solemn tone: "Okay, let's tell you seriously, we will go to Kyoto next, and we have to do two things." One of them was to follow the mouse and see who it had given the piece of pastry; The other thing is that I'm going to take the pigeon back to work for this letter. ”

Mo Ye put away her joking mood when she heard this, and at the same time pondered, and after a while, she frowned slightly and said, "Master's trip is dangerous!" ”

Lin Shan only understated this: "Where do you think the danger comes from?" ”

"Master did what the pigeon should do, and didn't think about what the person who killed the pigeon would do to you? As long as the letterhead remains unchanged, in the eyes of those who want to rob the letter or do not want the letter to be successfully delivered, the instrument or person who delivers the letterhead will be the object of reduction. And you...... Not only did he not hide, but he also chased the mouse while delivering the letter, wouldn't this be self-defeating?! These two things are actually just one thing, one thing that is very dangerous for you......" Mo Ye paused for a moment before his voice sank and continued: "Moreover, this is a matter that Ye Er can't interfere with at all. ”

A hint of surprise slipped in Lin Shan's eyes, and then he smiled again, and said warmly: "I didn't want you to help, you just watched from the sidelines." ”

"Master, since Ye'er can remember, you have indeed taken me to see many plays and visited the market many times, but this time I think that you took me to Kyoto to face such a thing, I am afraid it is not as simple as letting me watch a play."

Mo Ye withdrew his hand pressed against the wall of the study and retracted it into his sleeve, while also hiding the expression of his thoughts in the dark color of his face.

"I don't know what will happen to me in the future, but right now, there are only two kinds of people in this world for me, friendly and close and hostile. But it is strange that none of the friendly people who are supposed to protect me are my blood relatives, but the enemies are all with us, so I have to live in such a big cage to seek stability since I was a child. ”

Mo Ye's tone hesitated, she brewed in her heart for a moment, and then looked into Lin Shan's eyes and continued: "Now, Master, you know that the road ahead is dangerous, but you still have to keep moving forward, which has to deepen the idea in my heart. That is, the rat was actually raised by my great enemy, and the recipient is the one who can take care of me on your behalf...... My loved ones! ”

"It's just your speculation."

Lin Shan's face didn't show the kind of expression that Mo Ye expected, he just said very calmly: "You usually don't take the initiative to reveal such thoughts to me, unless even you are not sure, but you are very urgent to know whether it is right or wrong, so you will ask me." ”

Mo Ye was stunned.

This was indeed her speculation, but whether this idea was possible or not, Mo Ye was shocked. At this time, she did not have the ability to help the master, but she had to watch him go on an adventure, her mind would naturally become sensitive, and during this sensitive period she boldly asked him, and his answer only made her feel vague and more uneasy.

Although her deception was seen through by Lin Shan this time, what she was asking for at this time was not the success of this little trick, but the answer.

However, Lin Shan refused to give her a chance on both sides.

Just as Mo Ye was about to speak again, he heard Lin Shan suddenly say, "Do you still want to go to Kyoto with me?" ”

A simple sentence, there was no threat meaning, but it made Mo Ye hear the aura of threat, and the reason for being coerced was not deliberately imposed by Lin Shan, but from herself, so she couldn't transfer this pressure.

This sentence seems to be again: If you can't help me, do you still have the courage to follow me to Kyoto?

Mo Ye lowered her head slightly, bit her lower lip and fell silent, and after a while, she raised her head slightly again, staring at Lin Shan's eyes with one word: "Yes." ”

Because of firmness, I only answer one word.

"If you want to go, stop thinking about these useless questions." Lin Shan slowly walked to the desk, sat down and raised his hand to signal: "In the past two days, you have memorized this with snacks, and we have only lived here for a few days." ”

Mo Ye didn't say anything more, just nodded silently. Walking to the desk, she put the thin booklet on the table into her arms, bowed to Lin Shan, and then turned to leave the study.

Mo Ye scooped the booklet back to his room, although this one-page mantra is a bit tongue-twisting to read, but it is not difficult for Mo Ye to memorize it.

However, because it belongs to the type of number text, although Mo Ye is very confident in her memory, she thought that she was still a rare contact with such a large number of numbers, for the sake of safety, Mo Ye memorized it upside down more than a dozen times, and then interspersed it with a dozen times, and then rested for a while.

Looking around the furnishings in the room, thinking that she would be leaving in a few days, she felt a sense of emotion floating in her heart. Although going to Kyoto is full of novelty and fun for her, it is also too rushed! Although she knew that she couldn't delay any longer, the 'rat' had already escaped, and if she delayed any longer, she was afraid that she would overtake Master's tracking control, but she still couldn't help but have unrelenting feelings for this old mansion in her heart.

It's no wonder that her entire childhood, and perhaps the most peaceful decade of her life, was spent here, even if it was just a beggar's den, and the beggars who were about to leave it would be reluctant! Moreover, Mo Ye is not a beggar who has nothing, and her friends, brothers, and teachers will all bid farewell to her with this old mansion. There are a lot of things that need to be cut off, thus triggering the purest feelings from the bottom of people's hearts, but it is also sentimental, because Mo Ye has no reason but a clear feeling that it will be difficult for him to return here once he is gone this time
