14. The first secret text

Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Zhen's happy appearance and guessed that Zhang Zhen must have seen something on the purple gold lamp. So he was not in a hurry to ask Zhang Zhen, so he followed Zhang Zhen all the way to his home.

After half a month of training, Zhang Zhen is no longer in the same state as before. His physical fitness has been unprecedentedly improved, in Zhang Zhen's opinion, he didn't run, but he was happy to walk a little fast, and he forgot Zhang Lei behind him.

His happiness made Zhang Lei bitter, and Zhang Lei, who was following Zhang Zhen, had changed from trotting to stride, and finally ran wildly. In the end, he was thrown away by Zhang Zhen for a long distance.

Zhang Lei really couldn't run anymore so he stood down, propped his hands on his knees, panting. shouted Zhang Zhen: "You kid...... What about racing? …… Run...... So fast! In a hurry to be reincarnated? ”

Zhang Zhen heard the shout, and then stopped. As soon as he turned around and looked at Zhang Lei, who was out of breath, he realized that he was indeed walking a little fast. Zhang Zhen was a little deliberately not going. After all, Zhang Lei is his best friend. Zhang Lei is also a buddy enough, for so many days to keep a secret for himself, he can't use his ability to bully Zhang Lei.

He walked over with an embarrassed face, patted Zhang Lei's back and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry." I'll tell you something big when I'm home. ”

Zhang Lei looked at Zhang Zhen's excited appearance, and when he heard that it was a big deal, he didn't say anything about whether he was racing or not. Hurry up and follow Zhang Zhen home.

As soon as he got home, Zhang Lei looked for water everywhere to drink. Zhang Zhen quickly found a pen and paper, and then began to write on the paper.

Zhang Lei, who was dry on the side, didn't pay attention to Zhang Zhen's actions, and waited for him to drink two or three glasses of water before looking at Zhang Zhen.

I saw that Zhang Zhen had written a lot of words densely on a piece of paper, and many of them seemed to be traditional characters. Zhang Lei didn't know what Zhang Zhen wrote, so he stared at the things on the paper and teased: "Zhenzhen, when did you become a poet." When I came back from abroad, I was going to compose poetry. I won't write 'the scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow'. ”

Zhang Zhen, who was writing, did not answer Zhang Lei's question and continued to bury his head in writing. After a long time, Zhang Zhen finally finished writing. He stretched his waist, stood up and said to Zhang Lei: "I will definitely open your eyes today!" ”

Zhang Zhen put down his pen, turned around and began to rummage in his schoolbag.

After listening to Zhang Zhen's words, Zhang Lei, who didn't know why, picked up the paper on the table and looked at it. But Zhang Zhen's writing was dense, and there were many traditional characters, and he couldn't recognize a few for a while, so he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.

Zhang Lei was in a hurry, so he said to Zhang Zhen, who was looking for something: "You said you know a few men, and you still wrote traditional characters?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhen smiled mysteriously, and then said: "Actually, I don't know what I wrote, these things are all words on that purple gold lamp." I just copied it down. ”

"What, you mean there's text on that broken lamp? Why can't I see it? ”

Zhang Lei's face was incredible. Wait for Zhang Zhen to decrypt it for him.

Zhang Zhen raised the dictionary in his hand and shook it and said, "I have special abilities, and you don't know it." Otherwise, I was holding the purple gold lantern at Li Ke's house just now and watching it for a long time, what do you think I should see? However, these words are not difficult, we have a dictionary. Hurry up and find out for him. ”

When Zhang Lei heard Zhang Zhen say this, his curiosity immediately rose. is not verbose, and Zhang Zhen checked the dictionary together, and translated all the words written by Zhang Zhen into simplified Chinese.

Zhang Zhen did not study well, and his writing was crooked. Some of the words were stunned and made him write two. Fortunately, Zhang Zhen had the ability to remember, and while they looked up the dictionary, they checked the unclear words in their memory again.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Zhang Zhen and the others completely translated the thing copied from the Zijin lantern.

Zhang Lei looked at those words and involuntarily read them:

"The five elements of heaven and earth, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The five elements are mutually reinforcing, water is wood, wood is fire, fire is earth, earth is gold, and gold is water; Water overcomes fire, fire overcomes gold, gold overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, and earth overcomes water.

The meaning of the five elements is to moisturize, burn, relax, divide, and harvest. Among the five elements, each has its own position, cannot be transgressed, and is bound to check and balance each other, and dare not dare to be alone.

The water of the dark mountain, the wood of the lonely city, the soil of the yellow sand, the gold of the armor, and then the jade cone appeared, and the five elements gathered.

Standing in the purple gold, the flame will burn, shining for thousands of years, and will never be extinguished! ”

Zhang Lei finished reading it once, but he didn't understand it, and after reading it again, he still didn't gain anything. Zhang Lei couldn't help but make a difficulty: What does this mean? first said the five elements, and then said what dark landscape, lonely city wood......

Zhang Zhen sat on the side and listened to Zhang Lei read the sentence, but after listening to it twice, he still had no clue, and he couldn't understand what was written on it.

The two of them had just translated these traditional characters, and they were a little happy. But now they are in another stalemate, and they really don't know what it is in the face of this mess.

The two of them thought about it separately, hoping to understand the mystery as soon as possible. Zhang Zhen thought about using his ability to compare it again to see if there was anything on the purple gold lamp that he hadn't copied down. So he meditated several more times, but he found nothing.

The two of them looked at the paragraph on the paper, and they were both a little discouraged.

Helplessly, Zhang Zhen picked up the paper and read it again, this time Zhang Lei listened on the side. Zhang Zhen didn't study well, he stammered when he read aloud, he always stopped where he shouldn't have stopped, and Zhang Lei was uncomfortable listening.

Zhang Lei didn't interrupt him, just let him continue reading. When Zhang Zhen read the last paragraph of "Dark Mountain", "Lonely City" and "Yellow Sand", some things suddenly popped out of Zhang Lei's head, but these things were not real, and he felt that he had to grasp them immediately, otherwise they would be fleeting.

In order not to let these inspirations slip away, Zhang Lei covered Zhang Zhen's mouth, who was about to continue reading, and then his head was running rapidly.

What is it? What is it? Zhang Lei stomped his feet anxiously, he felt that the answer was in front of him, and he could know it with just a little bit.

Zhang Zhen, who was suddenly covered with his mouth, originally wanted to scold Zhang Lei. But when I looked up at Zhang Lei's strange expression, and then looked at him stomping his feet in a hurry, I felt as if he had thought of something, so he didn't dare to disturb and didn't dare to move.

After stomping a few feet, Zhang Lei finally remembered, isn't this the same as the words on the map I saw in Zhang Zhen's family book yesterday? Or the same verse,

Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looking at Yumen Pass.

The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken.

Zhang Lei laughed and said to Zhang Zhen: "Hurry up and take out the map from yesterday." ”

Zhang Zhen looked at Zhang Lei's happy appearance, and estimated that he had a clue. Don't dare to slack off, quickly take out the map.

They looked at the "Dragon and Tiger Mountain Map" that they found in the book yesterday, and then the two started to discuss.

Zhang Lei pointed to the poems on the map and said: "Look at the dark snow mountain, the lonely city, the yellow sand, and the golden armor. Isn't that what you just said? ”

Zhang Zhen looked at it and thought it was, but what did it mean when he said water, wood, and earth? He picked up the map in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, trying to find some more clues.

When Zhang Zhen turned the map upside down, he saw the markings on the map. I immediately remembered the purpose of their visit to the temple yesterday.

He and Zhang Lei originally went to the temple to see if there were any marks like the one painted on the picture on the head of the Li family's dragon, but they were disturbed by the man in black, so they were temporarily delayed, and then they forgot about it after a busy day. Now that Zhang Zhen saw the map, he immediately began to reminisce.

Sure enough, they guessed right. The markings on the head of the Li family dragon are the same as those on this map.

So Zhang Zhen took the map in turn and said to Zhang Lei: "Also, you see that the mark on this map is the mark on the head of the Li family's dragon." I just recalled the faucet I saw last night, and there was nothing wrong with that. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, these two things that were originally not compatible were connected. This is a big secret, and the people of Geng Zhuang should not know about it. A map hidden in a book that has never been discovered, a secret word written on the purple gold lamp that has been passed down for thousands of years. There's definitely a secret here.

But this secret suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of two fifteen-year-olds, whose childish age did not seem to be able to bear such a big secret. The two children were frightened at once.

Neither of them spoke, they looked at the map and then at the piece of paper with the words written on the purple gold lamp. They don't know what to do. They all know that there must be a bigger secret behind these words, but what is this secret? Is it up to the two of them to explore? What if something like last night happens again? Or something worse than last night.

These two brothers are usually bold, and there is nothing they dare not do in this remote countryside. Now that such a big secret appeared in front of them, they were really a little scared.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Lei broke the deadlock. said to Zhang Zhen: "Do you want to tell the big boss about this matter, I think this matter is a bit big." ”

Zhang Zhen was also hesitant in his head, and he was also thinking left and right about whether to tell others about this. But when he thought about it again, what had happened to him recently was a little strange. These things, on the one hand, have made unexpected changes in his body, and on the other hand, they are constantly reshaping his values. Now, he was not only curious about his own body, but also about the mystery in front of him that was waiting to be solved.

Although Zhang Zhen is scared now, he is very clear in his head. He looked at Zhang Lei, who was full of fear, and said to him: "Let's not talk about it first, and we won't investigate." Let's stop and act as if nothing happened. If you look at this map, it's been sealed in this book for I don't know how many years. Besides, if I hadn't seen the words on the purple gold lamp today, I might not have been able to find out when I wouldn't have been able to find out. This matter, as far as the two of us know, let's put it first, and we'll talk about what to do when the time is right. ”

Zhang Lei listened to Zhang Zhen's firm tone, and his heart relaxed. I feel that what Zhang Zhen said is not unreasonable. Yes, the map in the book was originally found by mistake. There is also the purple gold lamp, which is only taken out during the "Thirteenth Trouble", and no one can usually see the things on it, and even if you see it, you can't see the small words under the oil stains.

Zhang Lei thought about it, and nodded his head, expressing his agreement with Zhang Zhen's statement. Then I watched Zhang Zhen sandwich the transparent map and the text copied from the purple gold lamp in the book where the map was found, and hid it.

"Shall we catch the thief then?" Looking at Zhang Zhen, who had finished hiding things, Zhang Lei asked.

"Catch, why don't you catch it. We went to the temple and did nothing. But the dark shadow we encountered was different, he was there to steal. Zhang Zhen swore and said.

Since the bell rang in the temple, Zhang Lei's heart has never been steady. He also hoped that Zhang Zhen could catch the thief and then make himself no longer so worried. So he said, "Zhenzhen, don't you have a supernatural ability?" Do you say that the dark shadow last night was Sun Laohan? If it were him, we would have called someone to go to his house and tie him up, why should we toss so much? ”

When Zhang Zhen heard him say this, he was also a little uncertain. He recalled the man in black last night and the old man this morning. The body is indeed exactly the same, but last night it was dark, and he didn't see that person's face at all.

Zhang Zhen didn't guess anymore, so he said: "I'm not sure if it's him, anyway, as long as that person comes back tonight, we'll give him an urn to catch turtles." When the time comes, you will know if you catch it. ”

Zhang Lei heard Zhang Zhen say that the turtle was caught in the urn, and he was also happy, and said excitedly: "Yes, our purpose is not to let go of a bad person, and we will never wronged a good person." No matter who he is, let's give him a 'turtle in an urn'! ”
