Chapter 123: Waiting for news
Not long after, the three of us walked out with a burp after eating and drinking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 I said, "Let's go, go to our new place." Who of you knows. "This is what we have discussed before, don't go back to him after the wedding, and go directly to the house that Sun Ce arranged for us to live.
Zhang Laosi said: "I know, that meeting with Haizi was there. "After a short time on horseback we were there. I stood at the door and said, "Sun Ce is really our own brother." Zhang Laosi smiled and said: "Let's go, we are tomb robbers, we can buy a few pieces at will, we want to live in tatters, then who will buy our things." “
After the three of us entered the house, I went around in a circle. This yard is not big, this is not big compared to the previous house with them, but according to normal family specifications, this is already a very good house. Two Jin before and after. Moreover, Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce to furnish it not at all like the new house he had just moved in, all the things were available, and he actually put a lot of shelves and vases and jars in our main hall.
I sighed: "Oops~ It's really good, it's not bad to have someone to eat and live like this for a lifetime." Gan Ning said, "Rich, your room is mine, you go to that house and live." I was stunned: "Are you not?" The three rooms are different, huh? “
Ganning said: "I like this orientation. I smiled and said, "I spend every day with a god, and I'm not as superstitious as you." Gan Ning said: "Can you manage it?" He said and lay down on the bed. We ate and drank in this village like the home remedies raised by the eldest young master, and other than that, the three of us were almost idle.
One day when I was smoking in the shade in the yard, someone called the door. I yelled at Gan Ning: "Dog! Open the door and go. When Gan Ning heard me call him, he came out and said, "Why don't you go?" I whispered, "If he comes up and speaks to me, won't I be exposed?" ”
As soon as Gan Ning heard the reason, he ran over and opened the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a man in his fifties or sixties standing at the door. Gan Ning asked, "What's the matter?" The old man asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, are there craftsmen working in the fields here?" Gan Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you say?" You're in the wrong place. “
I thought about it, the craftsman who works in the field? Isn't this a tomb robber? So he said to Gan Ning, "Dog, let him in." When Gan Ning heard this, he said, "Then you can come in." Remember to close the door. After saying that, he turned around and came back. I saw the old man come in slowly, and when he saw me, he nodded to me and said, "May I ask who you are?" “
I tilted my chin and motioned for the old man to do that, and the old man waved his hand and said, "I'd better stand." I lazily said, "Then feel free to do so." What are you? I took my cigarette pouch and pointed to the painting he was holding. The old man said, "I have heard that there are craftsmen here, so I want to pay a visit." ”
I wondered, "Who told you?" The old man said hesitantly: "Uh~ It was also said by a friend of the old man." I said, "Whose friend?" The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "I heard from a friend in the Tao that you are... I pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "Look at you are fifty or sixty years old, do you believe the rumors?" We are just doing small business, not what you call craftsmen. Ay? By the way, what is a craftsman? Let me hear it. “
The old man looked at me as if he didn't know and retreated: "Then the old man will retire, I found the wrong one." It's old and confused, maybe it's the wrong person. After speaking, I hurriedly apologized and stepped back, I gave Gan Ning a look, Gan Ning blocked the old man's retreat, and asked with a suspicious face: "You want to go out without saying anything clearly?" ”
The old man was frightened, trembling and asked, "May I ask what this hero wants?" Gan Ning said: "If you come, you will be safe." Anyway, our brothers are idle, let's talk. As he spoke, he glanced at the old man's hand a few times.
The old man tightened the things in his hand and said, "The old man really doesn't know the way you have here, please don't embarrass the old man with this little hero." I said, "Old man, you rushed in and asked us, and you wanted to leave when you were done." Are you and I the gate of the city? ”
The old man looked at us helplessly, Gan Ning clicked on the picture scroll that the old man was carrying and asked, "What is this?" When the old man saw our posture, he probably wouldn't be able to get out if he didn't explain something, so he said, "It's just a painting, if you want to see it, I'll show you." As he spoke, the scroll trembled and unfolded.
We both looked at the painting, but we didn't understand it. This painting is near a boy holding a tripod like an incense burner, this boy is kneeling sideways on the ground holding the incense burner, and behind him is a Taoist priest holding a sword and casting spells, because behind this boy is revealing half of the offering table, so I am sure that this Taoist priest is casting spells, not practicing swords. At the top of the painting is a ghost-like object floating in the air.
The whole painting gives me the feeling that it is a Taoist priest hunting ghosts. But who doesn't have to draw these things? So I asked curiously, "What does this painting mean?" The old man said, "A priest is subduing demons and demons." I laughed and said, "Can you tell me something I can't see?" Do you think I look like a fool? The old man seemed to have done a long day of ideological work and said, "I want to find the Juyin Five Dragon Tripod in this boy's hand." ”
I thought to myself: "Juyin Five Dragon Ding? What is this object? "When the old man said, I took a closer look at the tripod in the boy's hand, the four corners of the tripod have a cloud dragon as a support, the middle is an oval tripod body, if you don't look carefully at the painting, in fact, it is the same as the incense burner.
The old man explained: "It is said that Emperor Xin, the king of Yin, waved his troops to expedition to Dongyi, resulting in the emptiness of Chaoge's troops, and the Zhou people took this opportunity to attack Chaoge, but Emperor Xin could only use a group of Yi slaves and captives to resist the Zhou people. Di Xin knew at a glance that the general trend was gone, but Di Xin was strong and did not want to suffer the humiliation of being captured, so he set himself on fire with his relatives and concubines in Lutai.
But when King Wu of Zhou led the troops to kill, Lutai was already a piece of ashes, when cleaning Lutai, someone found this Juyin Five Dragons Ding, King Wu of Zhou checked and found that the place where he picked up this tripod was the place where Di Xin's self-immolation, King Wu of Zhou was also a strange person who was proficient in the art of yin and yang, he found that this tripod was burned but not destroyed, it must be unusual, so he sent someone to bring it back. But after that, I was busy with social work, so I forgot about it.
However, at the time of Qin's unification, the First Emperor Yingzheng was fascinated by the way of immortality since the unification, and heard his subordinates say that this tripod can allow the soul to temporarily reside in this tripod before the body decays, and wait for the flesh with the right personality to be reincarnated as a human being. When the First Emperor heard about this, he asked his subordinates to inquire about this tripod, but he also found it all his life. This painting is also an ancient painting that has been handed down at that time. “
I laughed, "You won't believe it, will you?" The old man rolled up the picture and said, "No, it's just curiosity." Gan Ning snatched the painting and said, "Tell the truth." The old man made a gesture to snatch it back, but Gan Ning dodged it and said: "If you say it clearly, I will pay you back, if you don't say it, I will take what you say, and it is always okay to exchange some wine and meat." “
The old man saw that Gan Ning was going to exchange his ancient paintings of the Qin Dynasty for wine and meat, and said hurriedly: "Don't make trouble with this hero, if it is destroyed, the old man can't afford to pay for it." I smiled and said, "Old man, don't fool us." Who would have nothing to do with an ancient painting of the Qin Dynasty and wander around the streets. It's a copy of an antique painting. “
The old man saw that I had pierced him, sighed and stopped grabbing, and said to me, "This young master has good eyesight. Although this is not an object of the Qin Dynasty, it is also an antiquity of more than 100 years. I laughed and said, "That's what your grandfather painted." I was joking, but I didn't expect the old man to be stunned and asked, "Master, how do you know that this is painted by my ancestor?" ”
When he said this, I was stunned: "I said I guessed, do you believe it?" The old man sighed: "Master, don't joke about the old decay." I laughed and said, "So what were you going to do with us?" The old man said, "I heard from a friend in the Tao that the two of them are craftsmen, and I want to ask them to go down to the ground to help find out if there is any news of this tripod." ”
I said, "The First Emperor can't find it, do you want to find it?" The old man said, "Since the two of you are not craftsmen, then I don't have to say more to the master." Gan Ning shook the painting in front of him and said, "You've said enough, you don't care about that." “
The old man said helplessly: "It's useless for me to tell you." Gan Ning said: "I'll listen to it as a story." I love to hear stories. The old man was helpless, so he could only say: "Don't hide it from the two, I also know some craftsmen, I heard them say that Zhou Yi Wang Ji Yan was because he saw the sky appear in the sky, so the Great Zhou moved the capital."
It is precisely because this person is also very superstitious that he also has a group of alchemists for him to divinate and alchemy, but in the process of moving the capital, many things were left behind or lost halfway, and a monk under King Zhou Yi took advantage of the chaos to steal the Juyin Five Dragon Ding and began to study. This painting was also painted by the descendants of this alchemist at that time, and it was precisely because of this painting that the first emperor only knew about it.
A while ago, we found the tomb of one of the descendants of the Fang Shi who stole the Ding, and found a mural of this Ding in his tomb before there were some clues, according to the clues, we searched for a long time before finding the tomb on the mural of the tomb owner, but those people have not returned since they went, so the purpose of my visit today is to ask the two of you to go down to the ground to see if these people have been folded inside. “
I laughed and said, "Haha, people ran away with things, right?" The old man shook his head and said, "Probably not, it's not the first time to cooperate, and they didn't take a lot of good things from the tomb last time, they are very principled." ”
Gan Ning said: "Why do you trust them so much? It's not ordinary, right? The old man frowned and said, "Alas, two young masters, you should let the old man go." I've said enough. I smiled and said, "Old man, are you looking for this Ding for this unreliable immortality?" “
The old man frowned and said: "I'm really not for myself, my youngest son was born with a disability, and the doctor said that he only has twenty years to live at most, and I really can't bear to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, so I spent all my family wealth to find a good solution." I'm a divider, and I really don't want to deal with you green forest people, but I'm really helpless. At the end, the old man seemed to be a little angry.
I waved my hand and said, "What does the Tao say about us?" The old man was stunned, he didn't expect me to ask this, recalled and said: "Said that there are three craftsmen here, and they are very good at kung fu, it is said that a while ago they also stole two ancient statues from a large tomb, I think you can even find the ancient tomb, this thing must be easy for you, I am also sick and rushed to the doctor, if you really want to be bad at playing tricks on the old decay, the old decay is willing to exchange all his belongings for this thing." “
I smiled and said, "Old man, you are also eager to save your son, I can understand it." But the three of me are really doing small business, I'm sorry. When the old man saw that I had given the eviction order, he was also disheartened, sighed, and turned to leave. After a while, Gan Ning whispered next to me, "Why did you let him in?" “
I smiled and said, "Idle eggs hurt, by the way, let's find out about the situation." Gan Ning said: "Then you still say that we are not, so won't Gongjin give us publicity in vain after he spreads it?" I said, "Are you stupid?" When people ask you, you say yes? If he wants to buy a statue, you also say no, why don't you go to him when the time comes? “
Gan Ning nodded and said, "I haven't robbed the tomb yet, why don't we go and have fun?" I gave him a blank look, remembering that the first time I entered the cemetery in my life, I came back and ran into that broom star Ji Lingyu, and I had a headache. I said, "No, the tomb is full of traps, you know, or do I know?" It's not about dying if you go in! “
After a while, Zhang Laosi came out with a cup of tea, walked up the steps and said, "Isn't it good for you two to play like this?" I asked, "What's wrong?" Zhang Laosi said: "It seems extremely unprofessional, and the two of you are too much like hooligans and bandits, one is coercive and seductive, and the other is intimidating with a cannibalistic expression." Who would dare to do business with you? “
The two of us listened to what he said, and I asked, "What are you going to do when you encounter what happened just now?" Zhang Laosi took a sip of tea and said, "Why do you have to invite you to the house first, how can you say it in the yard, people come and go outside, do you know if anyone is eavesdropping." ”
Gan Ning pointed at me and said, "Look at you, you actually do something out of tune." I was stunned: "You still have the face to talk about me?" Zhang Laosi sighed: "Don't say anything about any of you, I'll tell them when you come back." We nodded helplessly.
No one has come since this old man came, and on the fifth day, I went to East Street alone to find Ge Xuan. I searched for a long time and saw a person who looked like a fortune teller sitting behind a small table waiting for business.
I swaggered over, sat down in front of him and said, "Old man, come and give Lao Tzu a hexagram." Ge Xuan saw that it was me and asked, "What do you want to ask?" I thought about it and said, "Ask about marriage, Lao Tzu is not short of money." Ge Xuan nodded and said, "Please lend me your hand." After speaking, I handed my hand over, holding a note in my hand, which was written by the fourth chapter before I came, and the content was eight big characters, and I had nothing to do recently, so I continued to wait.
Ge Xuan took the note and quickly threw it into his sleeve, then looked at me palms up and said, "This official's marriage line is so messy, it seems that you will have a lot of marriages." I was amused: "Really? So exciting? Then the second half of Ge Xuan's sentence was: "Most of them broke up unhappily." I said angrily, "You're blind, will you see it?" “
