Chapter 119: The Friendship of Life and Death, the Hatred of Life and Death (I)
He looked at the key in Gu Yan's hand, thought for a while, and said a little blankly: "I don't know what this key is, we left with some soft, ordinary locks, I have the key." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Gu Yan was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still said gently: "Then did your father give you anything?" ”
The man thought for a while, then suddenly stood up, and sat back suddenly because of the injury on his leg, he bared his teeth in pain, but there was an excited look on his face, "I remember, there is an iron block...... There's something. ”
"Don't worry, speak slowly." Gu Yan said, "Did you take it with you?" ”
"I'll take it." He spoke a little eagerly, "I don't know what it is, it appeared in our luggage for no reason, I always thought it was strange, so I took it with me...... Maybe my dad put it down. You wait, I'll fetch it. With that, he stood up with his chair in his hand.
Gu Yan hugged him, "You have inconvenient legs and feet now, let's go together." "Although looking at the current situation, this person is telling the truth nine times out of ten, but as a precaution, it is better to go together.
"Okay." The man was not suspicious, but simply agreed.
The monk's house and dormitory where this man lived were not far away, and he didn't meet anyone along the way, so he explained, "The masters have all gone to the evening class, and I came out of the evening class by pretending to be sick." ”
The three of them entered the room, and the young monk limped to a rattan box, opened the box, rummaged through it for a while, and took out a piece of something, "This is it." ”
Gu Yan took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, this thing did look like an iron block carved with a lot of complicated patterns, but if he looked carefully with the light, he could still see that there was a very thin gap on this iron block, and one of the sides, as Gu Yan expected, there was this small hole, which should be the place where the key was inserted.
Gu Yan's heart jumped, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go back and talk about it." After speaking, he said to the man with a little apology: "I have wronged you." ”
The man was flattered and waved his hand again and again: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
The three of them whispered as they walked.
Gu Yan said: "This little brother, I don't know how to call you yet." ”
"I'll do two, just call me Erlang." Zhao Erlang said in a low voice.
"The box, show me?" Xu Gu interjected.
Gu Yan handed it over, Xu Gu fumbled in his hand for a while, leaned over and looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly smiled, "It turned out to be this thing." ”
"What?" Gu Yan asked rhetorically.
"The legendary mechanism box that can't be opened without a key, although it is worth a thousand gold, there is no place to buy it, and I have only heard people say it." Xu Gu said, "No wonder the key is so small...... It's here. ”
There was an oil lamp lit in the squatter room, and it was not extinguished when he went out, so Xu Gu looked at the box with the light on and handed it to Gu Yan, "Open it." ”
Gu Yan inserted the small key into the lock hole, turned it twice, and after a slight click, the top cover of the box actually slipped open from both sides, revealing a stack of letters inside. Gu Yan picked it up carefully and looked at the letter carefully.
Xu Gu picked up the opened trap box and played with it carefully.
Only Zhao Erlang stood by the table, wanting to see what was written on those letters, but he was illiterate, hesitated for a while, and finally didn't have the courage to go to Xu Gu's side to look at the box together, so he had to find a stool and sit down slowly, looking at Gu Yan with his eyes, waiting for the result.
However, Gu Yan looked at these letters and also made a difficulty. He stared at it two or three times, and no matter how he looked at it, it was just a few ordinary letters, written in short letters from his parents, and the words were quite elegant, like those written by a scholar. Other than that, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Gu Yan put down the letter and sighed.
"What's wrong? What caused my father's death? Zhao Erlang kept staring at Gu Yan, and when he saw Gu Yan put down the letter, he hurriedly asked.
Gu Yan hesitated slightly, shook his head and said: "These letters look very ordinary, I'm afraid there are some secret words, I ...... Can't tell. ”
"How can it be so ......" Zhao Erlang's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Ugh." Gu Yan smiled bitterly, "I really don't know, what is the origin of this person named Helan Dai or Helan, I have never heard ......" Before Gu Yan finished speaking, he heard a bang, but it was the sound of Xu Gu putting the box on the table - he was in too much of a hurry.
"Helan?" Xu Gu said in a deep voice, his voice mixed with a few hints of disbelief and some suppressed anger, "You said Helan? These letters were written by Helan? ”
Xu Gu's performance was a little strange. Gu Yan thought that although in front of this Zhao Erlang, Xu Gu was a 'singing black face' character, and his demeanor and language were a little vicious, but it was just a cover-up, and now these two short sentences give people a heavy sense of oppression, which Gu Yan has never seen.
"I don't know, it's just that these letters all mention 'Helan Daiyu' literacy at the end, and the person who wants to write the letter is either named Helan Dai or Helan.
Xu Gu had a calm face and a stiff tone, "Show me." ”
Gu Yan handed over the letters, Xu Gu looked at them quickly, it seemed that each letter was just a cursory glance, he put down the letters, and said coldly: "Yes, it's really him." ”
Xu Gu was bubbling with a sinister aura all over his body, as if he was about to kill someone immediately. This made Gu Yan a little frightened, he couldn't help but subconsciously glanced at Xu Gu's hand, his hand was really clutching the ornament on his waist, as if he was going to crush it, the green tendons on his arm were about to come out, he asked stubbornly, "Who is Helan?" And you are ......."
Xu Gu sneered: "The friend of life and death in the past, is it now...... It can be counted as a life-and-death feud. Without waiting for Gu Yan to continue asking, he said again, "His surname is not He Minglan, his surname is Helan, and his single name is a Rong character, but that person dislikes this name with a girlish spirit, so he often only writes his surname in his letters, and does not nominate him." ”
Rong characters? It seems to be the Rong character of hibiscus, this word is actually not uncommon among literati to be used as a name, although it is indeed a little soft, but because I think this word is girly and does not use it, this is inevitably a bit too exaggerated. Gu Yan was thinking about it, but heard Xu Gu continue, "...... He is now on the side of the Liao. This sentence made Gu Yan suddenly feel like a spirit, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
Xu Gu had a sarcastic smile on his face: "I have a relationship with him, whether it is a letter or a manuscript that I have seen in my life, most of them are from his handwriting, his notes, how can I not recognize them?" - Look at the last stroke of the word 'Lan', did he only click on it? He is used to replacing the last stroke with a point, and there is a cursive prefix, and he often writes......" Gu Yan took the letter and looked at it, and it was so.
“…… Not to mention, He Lanrong is cunning, and any handwritten letter will definitely make some tricks...... "Xu Gu took the letter out of Gu Yan's hand and took it in his own hand.
