Chapter 1198: A Strange Letter
"Bamboo leaves?"
Zhang Jingxu on the side walked over and said with some doubts: "How can there be bamboo leaves here?" And this bamboo leaf looks like it just fell from the bamboo, so... Where did it come from? β
Liu Xing shook his head, and also said with a puzzled expression: "I vaguely saw a green light from this ash, so I realized that there might be something here, but I didn't expect it to be a bamboo leaf." β
Liu Xing said as he continued to pull the ashes in front of him, "If I'm not mistaken, this piece of ash should have been a few books, because I burned a lot of paper money when I went back to my hometown last year to worship my ancestors, and the ashes of those paper money are similar to these ashes on the ground, so this bamboo leaf may be a bookmark in a certain book?" But the book has been burned to ashes, and how can the bookmark be kept? β
"So this bamboo leaf was released later? That's not realistic.,It stands to reason that the spirit of the flame should have walked out of this basement.,So there should be no living mouth in the basement at that time.,As for after the fire is over.,If anyone finds this basement.,This big stove will have been taken away.γ β
As soon as Yin En's words fell, Li Hanxing leaned over and said, "It's okay, I'm sure we were the first people to find this basement after the fire, because after I found this basement, I paid attention to the traces along the way, so I can be sure that there are no other people's footprints or other traces along the way." β
"There's nothing special about this bamboo leaf."
Yin En, who took the bamboo leaf from Liu Xing's hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "So is this a bamboo leaf?" But Taketori's leaves aren't so ordinary, right? And why would Taketori have anything to do with this kind of place, isn't she afraid of being burned to ashes by the essence of fire? β
"Forget it, let's take this bamboo leaf back and keep it for safekeeping, anyway, this doesn't occupy much territory, as for the specific situation, let's wait until the bamboo is retrieved, but this bamboo leaf can also be regarded as a reminder that there may be other things in the ashes on this ground."
After saying this, Zhang Jingxu squatted down and pulled up the ashes on the ground, while Li Hanxing and the others began to try to lift the big stove out.
To the surprise of Li Hanxing and others, this big stove that looked heavy was unexpectedly light, and Li Hanxing could push it alone.
"I'll go, this big stove is so light, I should have pushed it back before."
After Li Hanxing complained twice, he continued to push the big stove to the outside of the basement, while Liu Xing and others stayed to help Zhang Jingxu "clean up" the basement.
Soon, Liu Xing and the others found the second thing - an old printed coin.
However, what Liu Xing and others did not expect the most was that the back of this old coin turned out to be a yellow seal.
"What's going on, isn't the person who minted this coin a genius? Putting the old seal and the yellow seal together, isn't he afraid of being hunted down by the king in yellow? β
As the designated apostle of the King of the Yellow Coat, Liu Xing couldn't help but say: "It seems that the person who minted this coin should not know the true meaning of the old seal and the yellow seal, so the ignorant and fearless will combine these two seals... Perhaps he thought that the coin, which contained two seals, would double the effect. β
Like that bamboo leaf, this strange coin is not a prop, it seems that it should be minted by some ordinary person.
"This coin looks like it's made of silver."
Alice looked at the coin in Liu Xing's hand and continued: "And the edge of this coin is irregular, so this coin should be made by hand, and it should be some years old." β
"Hey, this is still an antique." Yin En opened his mouth and said: "But this kind of coin has no practical effect, after all, it is okay to use the old seal to disgust the mythical creature, but it has no practical effect at all; As for the yellow seal, it is even more interesting, although this thing can represent the king of yellow clothes, but the king of yellow clothes has never determined the specific shape of the yellow seal, so there are more than ten styles of yellow seals circulating on the market now. β
"I know the six styles of yellow seals."
Alice said seriously: "On the continent of Europa, as long as the kingdoms that were strong for a while had a legend of contact with the king in yellow, or it is precisely because of the existence of the king in yellow that these kingdoms can become strong, because the king in yellow is quite easy to communicate in most cases, and is also willing to give some benefits to his followers... Wait, is this the name of the caster and the date of minting? β
Liu Xing looked up and found that two capital letters were engraved on the narrow side of the coinββ, as well as four numbers - 1077.
"1077? The Canossa Affair? β
As a liberal arts student with good historical grades, Liu Xing immediately thought of the famous Canossa incident, in which the future Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV had to bow to the Pope because of internal and external troubles, and stood outside Canossa Castle for three days and three nights, and it was still on a snowy day.
At the end of the Canossa affair, the Pope pardoned Henry IV as a victor, which also represented the authority of the Church over the authority of the King... However, as the saying goes, these thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, and after Henry IV calmed down the internal contradictions, he led the army to capture the Papal States and forced the pope to die, and he also got the opportunity to become the Holy Roman Emperor.
Therefore, the Canossa incident is the most famous event on the continent of Europa in the Middle Ages, but another reason why Liu Xing remembers this event so clearly is that Liu Xing booked a game called "Cyber 2077" in the real world, so Liu Xing remembered the Canossa incident in 1077.
"The Canossa incident, I heard that an old ruler was involved in this incident, and it was because of the support of this old ruler that Henry IV decided to oppose the church, and as a result, Henry IV did not expect that those nobles under his command were all two or five boys, forcing him to bow his head temporarily... But this coin shouldn't have anything to do with the Canossa incident, right? Alice frowned and said, "And I really can't think of any of the celebrities who used this abbreviation in that era." β
"Then let's put this coin in our collection first, and then go back and check if there are those famous people in that period who can have anything to do with this, after all, in that era, people who can make coins out of silver, and who are so good at workmanship, should be a noble lord."
Yin En took the coin and put it in his pocket, and continued: "However, there is no smoke and dust on the surface of this coin, and there is no trace of being burned by fire, so if that bamboo leaf is really related to Taketori, then this coin has its own merits nine times out of ten." β
After discussing the coins, Liu Xing and the others continued to rummage through the "treasures" in the ashes in the secret room, and after five minutes, they determined that there was nothing else in the secret room that had not yet turned to ashes, and Li Hanxing had now fixed the big stove to the car, ready to be transferred back to the farm.
So, after Liu Xing and the others reclosed the door of the basement, they returned to the farm with the big stove.
After returning to the farm, Liu Xing and the others carefully inspected the overall condition of the furnace and found that although its weight was very light, its hardness was very high, and even a humanoid mythical creature like Mai Yuqiang could not hurt it with all his strength.
"If nothing else, the raw material of this furnace should be an unknown metal from an alien source, so I am even more certain that this furnace is used to summon the spirit of fire." Li Hanxing said seriously: "But for the sake of insurance, why don't we try to light a fire and see if this big stove can be our own fire." β
Hearing Li Hanxing say this, Liu Xing always felt that he had set a terrible flag for this big furnace.
As a result, just as Liu Xing thought, this big furnace was just close to the fire source... That is, when a lighter is used, it begins to melt like a slime, and finally turns into a lump of golden liquid in the surprised eyes of Liu Xing and others.
Fortunately, Liu Xing and the others made preparations before this, and put this big stove in a big basin to fix it, so the melted big stove was filled with this big pot.
"So, can this thing really be used to summon the Spirit of Fire? I'm afraid that if it wasn't for the essence of fire, as soon as this big furnace came, it was evaporated... But this melting point is too low to be outrageously low, and a lighter can directly boil it into water. β
Liu Xing looked at the basin of water, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"So the question is, what should we do with this basin of water now? You can't just put it here, right? β
As soon as Li Hanxing's words fell, he found that the people around him were looking at him, and its meaning was self-evident.
"Okay, I'll take care of this basin of water, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to restore it."
Speaking of this, Li Hanxing honestly called Sun Huiwen, and the two left with the basin of water.
As for the remaining bamboo leaf and the coin, Liu Xing and the others still found nothing after studying it for a while, after all, they are not props, so as players, Liu Xing and the others could not determine the origin of these two things in the first place... But even if there is no evidence, Liu Xing thinks that this bamboo leaf is related to Taketori.
Since there was no progress, Liu Xing and the others could only choose to give up the research and temporarily hand over these two things to Alice for safekeeping, because Alice had already been selected as the person in charge of the farm.
Soon, it was dawn.
"Liu Xing, there was a letter from the Kamakura family."
Liu Xing took the letter from the hand of the bone river doctor, and said with some surprise: "What the hell is the manual, is it possible that the Kamakura family treats Sakai Masachi and them as robots?" β
Before Guchuan Xiaofu could speak, Liu Xing continued to ask, "By the way, your sect leader?" β
Looking at Liu Xing, who wanted to speak and stopped, Guchuan Xiaofu sighed and said: "The situation of the sect leader is a little unoptimistic, because he has already made contact with his father, and made it clear that we have joined the martial arts faction in the Huangyi Sect, but the sect leader's father is still unmoved, and even wants to rebel against us to join the public faction, so the sect leader directly chose to refuse... It can even be said that it is a renunciation. β
"Huh? This... β
This time, Liu Xing really wanted to stop talking, because Liu Xing didn't expect that Watanabe Meteor would kill his relatives in righteousness and break with his father.
But after thinking about it, Liu Xing felt that this was actually quite normal, because Watanabe Meteor was indeed an ambitious person, and he didn't want his father to come back to take his power.
All in all, although Watanabe Meteor's operation was unexpected by Liu Xing, it was also reasonable.
"Okay, little man, you can help me bring a message to your sect leader, just say that we will be his most solid backing, and we also believe that he will lead the Yellow Cloth Sect to lead the Samada clan to victory in the final victory... Of course, I still think that your master's father didn't really choose to cooperate with the Kamakura family. β
"I will convey it truthfully, then now please Liu Xing, you can take a look at this letter called the manual, and I will go back now."
After seeing Guchuan Xiaofu leave, Liu Xing looked at the letter in his hand.
As Kofu Bone Kawa said, the letter has the words "manual" written on it.
What exactly is this operation?
Liu Xing, who looked confused, opened the envelope, and there was only an A4 piece of paper full of words inside.
Liu Xing paid attention to the beginning and end, and found that the letter from the Kamakura family was sent by Sakai Umeko, and the recipient was the Sawada family.
When he saw the words "Sawada family", Liu Xing felt a lot more relieved.
However, when Liu Xing read the letter, he found that the Kamakura family was really a little iron, because they felt that they had "cheated" the Sakai Chang family's group with their ability, so there was no reason to return the group in vain, and at the same time, I also hoped that Liu Xing and others would not meddle in this matter casually, because this matter had nothing to do with the Sawada family... Of course, the Kamakura family had also heard of the Sawada family's status in the samurai faction, so they were still willing to pay for the Sawada family's regression.
"It's really funny, they want to buy us."
Liu Xing touched his chin, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the reward you give is too little, so our Sawada family will still stand opposite you." β
Just when Liu Xing was about to take the letter and burn it, he suddenly found that there was actually a line of small print on the back of the letter, and the content of this line of small print was even more interesting in Liu Xing's opinion.
To put it down simply, "If the person who received this letter is willing to facilitate the reconciliation between the Kamakura family and the Sawada family, then the Kamakura family will also come up with a special gift."
