Chapter 339: Scroll
The bamboo house is not very high, but it is not easy to climb to the plaque, Qi Ning returned to the house, brought the chair out, stood on the chair and raised his arm, but he was able to hook the plaque, stretched out his hand and touched the back of the plaque, it was empty, there was nothing, and he thought that the plaque that Zhuo Qingyang said might not be this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He moved his chair back as the night grew darker and the wind blew in the woods.
Qi Ning went around the academy in a big circle, and there were four or five places where the plaques were hung, and Qi Ning first checked the surrounding movements to make sure that there was no one, and then found a way to find out behind the plaques.
I searched for several plaques, but I didn't find a single thing.
He was even more strange in his heart, secretly thinking that the plaque Zhuo Qingyang said was not in this academy?
It's just that he knows that although Zhuo Qingyang is over the age of old, he has no wife and children, and he takes Qionglin Academy as his home, and has always lived in Qionglin Academy.
Or is it that the things hidden behind the plaque were taken away by someone one step ahead of them?
Qi Ning's heart sank, this possibility is not impossible, the person before took Zhuo Qingyang and disposed of a few corpses, extremely fast, crisp and neat, naturally not an ordinary person, if he is the first to search for that thing, it is not impossible.
After thinking about it, he returned to the bamboo house again, looked up at the plaque, which was unremarkable, hesitated, moved the chair out again, stood on the chair, raised his hand to hold the plaque, and pulled the plaque down vividly, "click", not only dragged the plaque down, but even pulled the door, and a few pieces of bamboo were also torn to the ground.
Qi Ning took the plaque, looked at it carefully, and even took the cold blade and cut it carefully, but he didn't find anything at all, and he was a little frustrated, and threw the cut plaque aside, secretly wondering if Zhuo Qingyang was in a daze at that time, casually, in fact, this plaque didn't have any secrets at all.
Suddenly, I felt some stinging pain in my hand, raised my hand, turned my head to look, but it was one of my hands accidentally put on the ground, just pressed on a piece of bamboo sliver, was stabbed by bamboo chips, a little annoyed, at this time, but caught a glimpse of a bamboo tube on the side of the bamboo sliver, stunned for a moment.
The plaque was torn off, and the bamboo strips on the door fell down, this house was built of bamboo, and the door was cut off pieces of bamboo strips, so that the complete bamboo tube that was not cut was rare, Qi Ning reached out and took it, only to see that the bamboo tube was blue in color, and it was a complete piece of bamboo tube.
He was stunned for a moment, Qionglin Academy has been built for many years, and this bamboo house has been built for many years, and it can be seen from the bamboo strips that have been a little yellowed, but the color of this bamboo tube is blue, and it seems that it was put on the door not long ago, Qi Ning's eyes rolled slightly, and he understood at this time, why he didn't find this bamboo tube, this bamboo tube was inlaid between the bamboo strips, although it was indeed behind the plaque, but it could not be touched casually.
He took a closer look, but found that both sides of the bamboo tube were blocked by bamboo membranes, a little surprised, a gust of wind blew, the night wind was cold, Qi Ning knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and it was not good to cut the bamboo tube here, and then took the bamboo tube into his arms first, and then left the academy in a hurry.
Out of the academy, went back to the Hou Mansion, at this time it was already the middle of the night, the house had already rested, Qi Ning returned to his house, lit the lamp, stripped off his clothes, then sat down at the table, took out the bamboo tube, took a closer look at the lamp, only to find that one end of the bamboo tube was sealed by the bamboo film, although the other end also had a bamboo film, but it could be seen that the bamboo film was obviously pierced through a small hole, and then it was sealed by oil wax, at first glance, it seemed to be blocked.
Seeing this scene, Qi Ning's heart was excited, knowing that this bamboo tube was likely to be what Zhuo Qingyang was alluding to, he used the cold blade to pick open the sealing wax, poked open the small hole, and looked inside by the light, the bamboo tube was black, but there was obviously something inside, he didn't know what it was, and he was worried that if he used the cold blade to easily cut the bamboo tube, he was afraid that he would cut the things inside.
At this time, Qi Ning found that a thin line leaked from the orifice, pinched it with his fingers, and carefully pulled it out, and saw that a thing was slowly pulled out from the inside, and after it was completely torn out, he found that it was a scroll, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
The scroll was only two fingers long, obviously made of silk, and was rolled into a shaft shape, with a black thread tied in the middle of the scroll.
Qi Ning let out a sigh of relief.
When he saw this scroll, he was almost certain that this must be what the assassins were going to snatch from Zhuo Qingyang, and even what Jiang Suiyun was looking for when he turned over the cabinets.
Being able to get so many people painstakingly acquired, this scroll is certainly not trivial.
With a slight groan, Qi Ning untied the black line, and slowly opened the scroll by the light, and found that the color of the silk silk had turned a little yellow, and it seemed that it had been a long time.
When the scroll was partially opened, Qi Ning saw three big characters on the very edge, but although he could see that it was three big characters, he didn't recognize it at all.
The font of these three characters is strange, Qi Ning changed the direction to look, and he couldn't tell which three words they were, it felt like an oracle bone inscription in ancient times.
Qi Ning looked at the content in the middle of the scroll by the light, and he was even more dizzy and dizzy.
Seeing that the scroll was full of some irregular small figures, it seemed to be words, but it seemed to be pictures, and some were more like runes, Qi Ning's eyes widened, and he opened the whole scroll, from beginning to end, but he couldn't even recognize a word, just like watching a book from heaven.
"I'll rub!" Qi Ning threw the scroll on the table, "What is this?" ”
His biggest suspicion before was that there might be a martial arts mastery hidden in the bamboo tube, and the biggest possibility was that there was an extremely unfathomable swordsmanship.
Since getting the sword diagram in the old mansion, Qi Ning has benefited a lot, and he has indeed become interested in swordsmanship, if this scroll is really a set of swordsmanship, Qi Ning is really willing to spend his time to learn it, the art is not pressing, this truth Qi Ning naturally understands.
But this scroll is like a book from heaven, and Qi Ning can't read a word, which makes people have a headache.
Of course, Qi Ning knew very well that Zhuo Qingyang would not hesitate to hand over the scroll at the cost of his life, and even Jiang Suiyun also used the means of approaching Zhuo Qingyang to obtain this thing, of course, this scroll is not trivial, and there are definitely not a few people who covet this thing, and now that he has obtained it by chance, except for Zhuo Qingyang, of course, he can't let others know that this scroll has fallen into his hands.
Knowing that this scroll has fallen into their own hands, of course, the fewer the better, and the more people who know, the more dangerous they may be.
He thought that the words on it might be some real ancient texts, he didn't know a word, it didn't mean that others didn't know it, there were a few accounts in the account room of the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, and they were all well-educated Confucians, they might know the words on it, but this scroll was too strange, and Qi Ning was certainly not ready to take the scroll to ask.
He found a pen and paper, and copied the first three characters of the scroll on three sheets of paper, copying one word on each paper, and did not let the three characters together, thinking about waiting for the dawn to go to the account room to ask for advice.
After a day of tossing today, he was a little sleepy, so he put the scroll into the bamboo tube, went straight to bed, put it under the pillow, and fell asleep in a daze.
Early the next morning, remembering yesterday's events, I wanted to go to the account room, someone had already come to report, and the palace summoned the past, Qi Ning could only put down the matter first, clean up, change into a marquis's robe, and enter the palace by himself.
Introduced into the imperial study by the deacon eunuch, the little emperor was looking at the excerpt, and when he saw Qi Ning coming, the little emperor put down the fold and looked Qi Ning up and down, as if he was smiling.
Qi Ning also looked down at himself, he was a little uncomfortable to be looked at by the little emperor, and reluctantly smiled: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with the minister?" ”
The little emperor smiled and beckoned, Qi Ning approached the edge of the desk, and the little emperor slapped the table and said loudly: "You are so bold." ”
Qi Ning was taken aback, and before he could react, the little emperor had already laughed and said, "Qi Ning, you dare to bully the king, do you want me to cut off your head?" ”
Seeing him laugh, Qi Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to the emperor, but he didn't deceive the emperor, and the minister doesn't know why the emperor said this." ”
"I got a report, yesterday's Jinghua Book Fair, your brocade clothes are very majestic." The little emperor seemed to smile: "They said that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and your skills are astonishing, and you have tossed out a thing that can go to the sky, you honestly confess, is there such a thing?" ”
Qi Ning then understood, thinking that it was originally for this, in fact, he also knew that the hot air balloon ascended into the sky yesterday, which would inevitably cause shock, and the little emperor would definitely know it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister made a gambling contract with Jiang Suiyun, and he was forced to come up with that method out of desperation." ”
"They say you really flew into the sky, is it true or false?" The little emperor was curious: "How did you get it?" ”
Qi Ning knew that if the little emperor didn't understand this, he would never give up, and he didn't hide it at the moment, so he simply picked up the pen and drew the graphics of the hot air balloon on the paper, and then roughly talked about the principle of the hot air balloon, trying to understand it in simple terms, but the little emperor listened to it with relish, and asked a few words from time to time, and when it was roughly figured out, the little emperor was amazed: "How do you know that you can fly into the sky in this way?" I never knew. ”
Qi Ning said with a smile: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he has learned the knowledge of governing the country and the state, minister!" After a pause, he looked around to make sure that there was no one, and then lowered his voice and said: "The minister used to be a flower child, wandering around, seeing more people, and hearing more stories, this hot air balloon is what people say, who said it, and the minister has forgotten." This time I made a bet with Jiang Suiyun, and I used it in a hurry, and I was not sure. ”
The little emperor bowed slightly, and said with emotion: "There are many strange people and strange things in the folk, and I sometimes want to go around the folk and increase my knowledge. It's just that he knew that as the king of a country, what ordinary people could get at their fingertips, he couldn't get it, so he smiled and said: "They also say that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, hehe, Qi Ning, I am a little suspicious of you now." ”
"Doubtful?" Qi Ning pretended to be aggrieved and said: "The minister is loyal to the emperor, and he digs out his heart and lungs, what else does the emperor have to doubt." ”
The little emperor stared at Qi Ning and lowered his voice: "I know that you are not the real Qi Ning, but I still suspect that not only are you not a Jinyi Qi Ning, but also not a beggar, and your origin is not simpler than I thought." His eyes were bright and clear, but they were quite deep.
