Chapter 20: The Significance of Tumen

"Grandpa, in addition to the 'Kunzi Map', are the remaining eight maps in the hands of the Tumen guard?" I asked.

The smile on Grandpa's face gradually disappeared: "Only the last piece is left." ”

"Huh?" I was surprised, "When I called you before, didn't you say that you still have three more in your hand?" ”

Grandpa shook his head with a wry smile, took his worn-out leather bag from the bedside table, opened the metal button, and took out three animal skin rolls from inside.

"Isn't that there?" I say.

"It's been dropped," Grandpa casually unfolded a roll, "these three are all fakes." ”

I took one, opened, both the pattern and the text, are similar to the one in Haoyue, the only difference is that the taste of this one is bigger, there is an obvious smell of animal skin, it should be a new animal skin, and the genuine product, with a history of hundreds of years, must be an old animal skin, and there will be no more taste.

"This fake can also be used, right?" I asked, confused, and it seemed the same to me anyway, "Why didn't the thieves take the photos secretly and take them away, but went to great lengths to make three fakes to use to drop the bag?" ”

Grandpa shook his head again: "Definitely, only nine genuine products are superimposed together, plus the blessing of the shaman's magic weapon, the treasure map can be revealed, and the runes on it are all spelled by the shaman - I am talking about the real thing, and the fake is useless." ”

"Who stole it?" I asked.

"What do you think?" Grandpa asked me rhetorically.

I thought about it for a moment and asked my grandfather again, "Since the treasure map is so important, why don't you take it with you and stay in your hometown instead?" ”

"What do you think?" Grandpa asked again, looking at his expression, as if he was deliberately testing my reasoning skills.

"Because...... The thief is what I thought! Wouldn't think the treasure map would be in the unguarded hometown! "I affirm that it doesn't make sense, but it makes sense.

Grandpa sighed: "It's me who was so confused, I actually made this kind of mistake, I thought it was okay, but I didn't expect to be noticed by someone, and I came to steal the beams and change the pillars, I didn't even find out that these were fakes at the first time, and I called you at the time." ”

“…… Could it be that the vultures did it? I guessed.

"Why do you think that?" Grandpa asked.

I told my grandfather about the fact that when I went back to my hometown with Baguio yesterday to get my grandfather's rifle, I encountered a vulture blocking the door of the house.

"At the time I thought he was blocking me and Baguio," I said, "and now it seems that he may have other plans, maybe he went for the treasure map!" ”

With a look of sudden realization, Grandpa leaned back into the back of the chair, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the ceiling, more like he was saying to himself: "There are only a few people who know that I have a treasure map in my hand...... How does the vultures know......"

Whether intentionally or not, I am now already involved in it, maybe my grandparents didn't want to get involved in the matter of the Tumen guard, after all, they are so old and should have retired a long time ago, but now, because they want to save Baguio, the treasure map is exposed, and the "Kun character map", as well as those three pictures, may have been taken by the Zhou family in Beijing - the vulture is a member of the Zhou family, this has been determined.

I don't know much about the Tumen Guard, but one thing, I am very sure, the existence of the Tumen Guard is to protect the treasure of the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum, nine maps, four outflow, and Grandpa just said that in the hands of the Tumen Guard, there is only one left, that is to say, nine maps, eight are outside, the possibility of finding this treasure suddenly becomes great, I don't understand the rivers and lakes, but I think that this is bound to cause a new bloody storm in the rivers and lakes......

"Grandpa, shouldn't you tell me more about the Tumen guard?" I asked, not surprisingly, I'm now automatically the one to be the Tumen Guard, right? Otherwise, how could Haoyue sign the "Tumen Covenant" with me, it should be a "binding" that only Tumen guards and Tumen guards can do.

Grandpa nodded, but he was worried that the wall had ears and asked me to go home and talk about it.

I almost forgot that I was still lying in the hospital, but I had been cured by Haoyue, I got out of bed, bent my legs, everything returned to normal, and even felt more powerful than before, I don't know if this is an illusion, take off the hospital gown, I changed back into my clothes, and my grandfather left the ward, just went out, I met a nurse sister to check the ward, and asked us if we were the family members of patient No. 37 Wu Yifan?

I said, "Wu Yifan went to the toilet, you can wait in the ward for a while." ”

"Okay, thank you, handsome little man." The nurse entered the ward with the notebook in her hand, stood by the bed, and began to wait stupidly.

Grandpa smiled and pushed me: "What a child who doesn't grow up!" ”

I seem to have had a bad habit of flirting with pretty girls since I was a child, huh...... It has to be changed.

I didn't go to Baguio again, for fear of meeting a vulture, Tu, since it has already been in the hands of Zhou Tianwen, and they are more afraid of the Tumen guards, they must have already transferred the map, even if the vultures are exposed, it is meaningless, but it may expose our undercover personnel in Shangjing, so let's go back first, and then think about it in the long run.

After leaving the hospital, the two of us took a taxi home, grandma and Haoyue were chatting in the living room, and grandpa said to grandma: "Yifan wants to know more about the matter of the Tumenwei, old woman, are you talking about it, or am I talking about it?" ”

"You are the Great Protector of the Tumen Guard, you speak." Grandma said.

"You're still the Holy Maiden of the Tumen Guard!"

After saying that, the two of them began to laugh, and as soon as they heard these two titles, they knew that they must have had a very romantic experience when they were young.

"Haoyue, why don't you come and talk about it," Grandma said, giving Grandpa a look, "Old Immortal, we should go grocery shopping and prepare dinner." ”

"Yes," Grandpa nodded, "the future is the world of their young people, let's go." ”

After saying that, the grandparents went out with a six-wheeled grocery cart.

"Can you explain clearly?" I asked Haoyue suspiciously, after all, she has only been an adult for a long time, can she explain clearly?

"Yes, but I don't want to talk about it yet," Hatsuki looked like a scholar and cocked Erlang's legs, "The top priority is to find a way to get back the four lost treasure maps, what do you think?" ”

I shook my head, "I think it's imperative to hide the last map in the hands of the Tumen guard, so that no one can snatch it again." ”

"Why?" Haoyue asked with squinted eyes.

"Because grandpa said that if you only have nine maps, what else is there...... With the blessing of shamanic jurisprudence, the treasure map will be revealed, so the result of owning one is the same as owning eight, for an extreme example, if those eight maps are now in the hands of the Zhou family, then, even if they block the fate of the entire family, they will also attack the ninth map, so the last map is the key - do you know where the last map is? ”

"Right in front of you!" Haoyue said lightly.

"Huh? On you? I was surprised, "That's too dangerous!" Hurry up and call your grandparents back, if the enemy knows, they will definitely come to rob them! ”

"Don't worry, even my grandparents don't know that the ninth picture is on me." Haoyue smiled.

"Where are you hiding?" I asked curiously.

Hazy Yue opened her mouth and hesitated.

"Forget it, don't tell me," I waved my hand, "such important news, the less people know about it, the better, if the enemy captures me and uses you to blackmail me, I will definitely confess!" ”

"Is it because of me that you confess?" Haoyue smiled sweetly.

"A must!"

"Then I'm going to tell you!" Haoyue put down Erlang's legs, got up from the sofa, walked around the coffee table, and sat on my lap head-on.

“…… What are you doing in broad daylight? "I subconsciously looked at the door, the door of the room was closed, there should be no cameras in the house, right?

"I'll show you the treasure map!" Haoyue arched back slightly, lifted the hem of her blouse, revealing a flat and tight belly, "Oh, here it is!" ”

"Where? White! "I touched it and it felt good.

"Look closely." Haoyue took a deep breath, her belly bulged slightly, and her skin began to become translucent.

Appeared! A rune map that looked like a skin roll appeared on her skin, no, to be precise, it should be under the skin, inside the belly, and I could only see it because the skin had become transparent.

"Ah......h ”

"See, in your belly! How did you put it in? I asked in surprise.

"Three hundred years ago, when I was still a ginseng, a shaman dug a hole in my ginseng, hid the animal skin scroll in it, and cast a spell, so that map, integrated with me, became a part of ginseng, lost the meaning of existence, only when I cultivated into a human form, the map will reappear, can be taken out."

"How to take it? Kill you, rip the map out? I asked with a frown.

Haoyue nodded and smiled playfully: "So, if you want to protect the treasure map, just protect me, and that's fine." ”

I can't help but admire the shaman priest who designed this set of treasure maps, he is equivalent to melting this last map, it is estimated that he can only transform into a human form after three hundred years, so that he can not only preserve the survival of the treasure map, but also dispel the idea of wanting to seize the treasure of the Qing Dynasty within three hundred years!

High, really high!

"In other words, the current turmoil in the rivers and lakes is not caused by that 'Kun Zi Map', but by the fact that you have cultivated to adulthood! Right? "I grabbed Haoyue's thin waist and helped her pull the placket off.

"That's right!" Haoyue got off me, sat next to me, crossed her legs on the coffee table, and swayed leisurely from side to side, very relaxed.

"But I don't understand, why did the shaman back then leave this bug?" I asked again, BUG, what should Haoyue know, I taught her basic English a few years ago.

"That's because, the Tumen guards guard the treasure of the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum, the protection period, only three hundred years, according to the ancestral teachings, after this period, the Tumen guards can no longer interfere, whoever gets it, will be counted!" Haoyue leaned into my arms and said resentfully, "Grandparents, as the guards of the map, can no longer protect me according to the regulations. ”

"Why are you so miserable? As soon as he became a human, he became the target of everyone? I couldn't be more sympathetic.

"This is the price of my transformation into an adult," Hao Yuejiao smiled, and simply lay on my lap, tilted her head, put her arms around my neck, and leaned up again, "So, Yifan, if you don't want me to die, hurry up and become stronger, reorganize the strength of the Tumen, and protect me, okay?" ”
