CHAPTER XXV. Letter of 1864
After making an appointment with Li Qing to meet tomorrow, Chen Xiaodonkey went back to Dongsheng Restaurant, and then waited nervously until twelve o'clock in the evening.
Fortunately, after Zhang Wuye's treatment, the bronze bell really did not continue to be a demon, it seems that it is really like Zhang Wuye said, the bronze bell was invited to God.
Chen Xiaodonkey was not completely sure until this time, but it also made him sure of another thing - someone was secretly watching him. But he didn't know who the man was or what his purpose was.
Even at this time, he couldn't be sure that according to Uncle Jia's arrangement, he changed his identity certificate at the city hall, and then left from the alley where he originally lived to Dongsheng Restaurant, did he get rid of the eyes that stared at him secretly?
There was no night's dream fright, and Chen Xiaodonkey slept well.
The next morning, he went to the Bund and waited outside the HSBC headquarters for half an hour, when the bank opened and he went in and opened the safe again.
The only thing left in the safe was the letter.
I took out the letter and read it, and according to the time agreed with Li Qing at ten o'clock in the morning, I waited at the gate of National Fudan University early.
At ten o'clock, Li Qing came over with a book, today she deliberately dressed up, changed into a red dress, looked more beautiful than yesterday, I don't know how much, saw Chen Xiaodonkey's back, walked straight over and patted Chen Xiaodonkey's shoulder, "Mysterious, what can you say now?" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey stared at the inside of the school gate, and was slapped from behind, and turned around in surprise: "Huh? How did you get here from here? ”
Li Qing glanced at him, "My family is in Shanghai, and I don't live in the dormitory!" ”
Chen Xiaodonkey let out an 'oh' sound, handed the letter over, and said, "I want to know which country's language is on it and what is written." ”
"You think of me as an encyclopedia?" Li Qing took the envelope, and hooked Brother Cat into the crook of his arm with his other free hand, "Let's go to the library and look at it, it just so happens that I also want to find some materials." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey nodded.
There was no one in the library in the morning, Li Qing picked a physics library, opened the envelope after putting things away, looked at the text on it, and said in surprise: "This is Siamese writing!" ”
"Siam?" Chen Xiaodonkey himself just had the attitude of letting Li Qing try it, but he didn't expect that Li Qing really recognized this kind of ghost-like text, "Then what is written on this letter?" ”
Li Qing looked at it for a while, and was a little embarrassed: "I'm not very familiar with Siamese, I've only learned it for a short time, you wait, I'll go find this dictionary." ”
After Li Qing finished speaking, he ran out, and after a while, he came back with a thick Siamese dictionary, and then compared the contents on the letterhead and began to translate word by word.
The translation process was very slow, and it wasn't until more than two hours later that Li Qing pinched the corners of his eyes a little tiredly, and said to Chen Xiaodonkey: "This is a letter brought back by a Siamese in Germany in 1864, but the content on it is so strange." ”
The Siamese were in Germany, and the Germans brought back the letterhead? The corners of Chen Xiaodonkey's eyes jumped, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you say above, what's strange?" ”
Li Qing said: "There are a lot of inexplicable words and titles on it----- forget it, I'll write it out for you directly." ”
"Thank you!" Chen Xiaodonkey thanked him seriously.
Li Qing took the pen and paper again, compared the original letter of the letterhead, wrote this letter in Chinese, and when he handed it to Chen Xiaodonkey, he was a little embarrassed and said: "My translation may not be very accurate, and some I don't know how to translate, just write according to my own understanding." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey smiled gratefully, how can he be qualified to pick and choose at this time? Immediately took the text translated by Li Qing and read it.
But the contents of the letter, in addition to some parts that confused him, shocked him in others.
"Dear Heavenly King,
I haven't seen him for many years, but I've always been paying attention to the career of the Great Heavenly King, and I can't help but be happy and congratulate him when I learn that the Great Heavenly King will chase demons.
Now I have been ordered by the Buddha to go to Germany to wait for news, but I have learned unexpectedly that something very strange has happened in the rich mountain of Zhejiang, and the faithful followers of the German bishop Fryer have recently returned from there, and have interrupted the course of a terrible thing.
He brought back a bell from the sleeping box. Unfortunately, on the seventh day after his return to Germany, he died of a strange disease, and before he died, he said something that no one could understand, and I wrote down some of the pronunciations of those words, and asked the teacher who was next to me, and the teacher above told me that such an intonation seemed to be a heavenly whisper.
Thinking that these should be very important things to the Great Heavenly King, I will ask another Bishop of Forerr, who is ready to go to your country in the near future, to bring the bell to you, hoping that it may be of some help to you.
But this is not without conditions, Bishop Flair is very interested in the news that his believer has brought, so I hope you can provide him with some help in any way you can, I don't think the Great King needs to refuse this matter, because although Flair has not told me all the news, I seem to be sure of something, and it may have a lot to do with the place you have been looking for.
Besides, seeing that the cause of the Great Heavenly King is in full swing, when he wants to wait for the messenger to arrive, this matter is just a matter of convenience. Of course, this is just a suggestion made by me as a friend, and the Great Heavenly King should not be too careful.
And there are two other news, I remember that the Great Heavenly King was helped by that magical young man, I still remember his appearance, and his surname is Chen, but according to the faithful believer of Fryer, in that rich mountain, he saw a man with a stone cake, and the sleeping box was actually opened by the young man, through his description, I think that person, most likely the young man next to you, I don't know if you know about this matter, if you know, that's me talking too much, and if you don't know, You may want to pay more attention to his purpose.
Another piece of news is a bit incredible: when you think something is round, it may not be, the east of the blue water is the west, this is a complete deception, a deception that has lasted for hundreds of years. The most frightening thing about this deception is that when we believe it, then we will never see what we are looking for.
When the unknown comes out of the unknown, this is a world of ignorance, whether the Great Heavenly King believes in Buddhism or not, as a friend, I hope you will be blessed by my Buddha.
The brother of your faithful friend, Wu, wrote in Germany in 1864. ”
This Siamese wrote a letter in 1864 to Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
After reading the full text of the letter, Chen Xiaodonkey's fingers pinching the paper couldn't help but tremble.
Li Qing may have some discrepancies in the translation of some small details, but the main premise is not a problem, although the content of the letter has been written very vaguely, he is still extremely sure, because of some of the words used in it.
For example, the title of 'Great Heavenly King'.
Another example is the name 'demon'.
Especially about the word 'demon', he remembered it too deeply, and in the letter from Uncle Jia two months ago, he mentioned the sentence 'Leave half of the rags and enjoy the demon', which was the contempt of those people for the previous dynasty at that time.
Zhejiang, the mountain of wealth, isn't this the god of wealth mountain?
The sleeping box, here should be a language description problem, and then through the words later, he took a bell from the 'sleeping box', combined with the situation when he saw the bronze bell for the first time, it is easy to judge that the sleeping box is the jade coffin hanging on the natural stone bridge!
What made Chen Xiaodonkey feel incredible was that one of the people mentioned in this letter had been to the God of Wealth Mountain, holding a stone cake in his hand, and had opened the lid of the coffin.
Who is that young man with the surname Chen? Both are surnamed Chen, and they may all have some kind of connection with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and according to this line of thought, the father's age is not right, so the answer is likely to be ---- his grandfather?"
