Chapter 13: Exchange a little information
"Ugh." The fat man sighed and resigned himself to his fate, "It's over now." lost his wife and lost his army, and all the money he had saved in the past three years was gone. ”
I recalled: "Actually, when I was in Datong Shangyunguan, that little Taoist boy told me one thing in private, saying that you are not suitable for the trade of earth tombs. At first, I thought it was a trade in land and wood, but then we started selling antiques, and I realized that this 'earth' was a 'soil tomb', something unearthed from the ground. At that time, I wondered how this could be true, we started to get rich in less than half a year...... In the past two or three years, I have been afraid that the words of the little Taoist priest will come true, so I don't care much about money with you, so you can save desperately. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? The white fox has ruined all your money. ”
"Is this fox really the one in the Japanese army's laboratory?" The fat man sighed, "This gentleman still used ten years to take revenge, but this fox has waited for me for more than two years, and dragged his family to come to me for revenge." I just scolded it a few times, and I didn't hit it......"
I was noncommittal, and said, "It's been so long, and no one can prove where this white fox came from to harm us. If I had to guess more, this white fox might have been a pet fed by some mountain master. is like the white fox of Aunt Ying in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". ”
The fat man had already accepted the reality at this time: "People still have to be afraid of God, maybe there are really capable people who can touch God's pulse." This matter is over, if it doesn't work, start all over again, ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, who hasn't had a comeback? Luckily, I invested a lot of money in the stock market when I was traveling, so maybe I'll have money again next year? ”
"Heal your wounds. I think the antiques business is coming to an end, and it's not a long-term solution. I'll have to come up with an idea to start something else. ”
"Aren't there still three of us in Datong who are helpless?"
"Don't hit that idea." I laughed self-deprecatingly a few times and said, "Fatty, haven't you seen it yet?" That's the game. Whoever has anything to do with the secrets in those helplessness can't escape. I'd rather never know those secrets......"
"Master, I'm afraid what you said won't work. You're already in the middle of the game. ”
What a familiar sound......
I turned my head sideways to look at the door, Lu Fengqin held a folding fan and fanned his chest, and said with a smile: "Master, little Cao, you two are celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival?" It's all wrapped into zongzi. ”
The fat man snorted with his nose up: "I won't see you sooner or later, it's really time for you to come." ”
I pointed to the stool next to me and said, "Brother Lu, what advice do you have?" How do you know we're both in the hospital? ”
Lu Fengqin "snapped" the folding fan, and bowed with his hands and fists: "Don't blame me two of you, I just found out this step." Lu Fengqin sat down calmly, and then continued, "If the two of you had told me about the 'Palace of Eternal Life' earlier, maybe we wouldn't have to make such a big detour before meeting again." ”
Lu Fengqin took out a yellow note from his pocket and handed it to me. I stretched out my hand to take it and unfolded it to take a look - "Knowing the Palace of Eternal Life, those who touch it will die", the small Kai Xing book, which is the same as the fat man's one.
I exclaimed, "Why do you have that too?" ”
"What's that?" The fat man tilted his head to look at me, and I simply handed the note to the fat man.
The fat man picked up the note and glanced at it, and also asked Lu Fengqin, "Why do you have this harmful thing?" ”
Lu Fengqin lowered his head and rubbed his palms, and only when he heard the two of us asking, did he raise his head and say, "This is the Immortal Daoist's talisman." However, the Immortal Daoist died 70 years ago. Bluffing people with this gadget, hehe......" Lu Fengqin laughed for a while, and his face showed a vicious aura.
I asked, "So do you know what this thing is about?" ”
Lu Fengqin smiled at me evilly, as if he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly restrained this expression, and said seriously: "Master, then you have to tell me first how you know about the Palace of Eternal Life?" If this happens, I guarantee that you can live for hundreds of years like Fifth Master Qin. ”
"What?"
"Huh?"
The fat man and I sat up almost at the same time and looked at Lu Fengqin with an incredulous expression. We are so surprised because I and the fat man originally met an old Taoist who had lived for one or two hundred years, and now Lu Fengqin dared to use a mouth to guarantee the life of a living person, isn't this nonsense?
"Yo, you still don't know? Liu Songming's mouth is really strict. Lu Fengqin looked at me very calmly, without squinting, and said, "You are the weak and weak breath of Qin Fifth Master, and the child of the last son he will have in five years." If you want to say how old Qin Wuye has lived, don't look at me who has been with him for so many years, but I don't know at all. However, I still inquired about his inheritance, and he has had seven sons and three daughters in his life, and only one grandson is you. ”
I clutched my chest and remembered the red mole. I knew that Lu Fengqin's words could not be fully believed, and I also knew that Lu Fengqin did everything with a purpose, so I said: "Don't talk about these old things, do you mean that you can guarantee that a person will live for a hundred years?" You must know that the two skins of the human mouth are not for you to crush the to the end and blow it out! I still wondered, Li Laodao found me and talked to me about immortality, and the palace of immortality carries the word 'immortality', is the secret hidden in it 'immortal'? ”
"Li Lao Dao?" Lu Fengqin groaned for a while, took out a fan and fanned his chest, and after a while, he raised his eyes and said, "Master, you see, there are too many secrets between us, isn't it time to be honest with each other?" ”
"Then you speak first." The fat man said, "We want to know what you are looking for for that senior official surnamed Guo, how did you find the palace of eternal life, and how did you receive that note and be threatened......
"Yes." I gave the fat man a thumbs up with my hands behind my back and stared at Lu Fengqin intently.
Lu Fengqin "snapped" the folding fan and stood up, pointed to the note in the fat man's hand with the fan, and said with a smile: "Little Cao Ye, do you call this a threat?" Isn't that the invitation to the 'Palace of Eternal Life'? But it's a pity, it's a pity, I killed all these people who dared to send me worship stickers without paying attention. ”
"Don't pay attention......" I shuddered, this Lu Fengqin really dared to say......
"Since Xiao Cao Ye said it, I think Li Ye also means this, then I won't hide it from you." Lu Fengqin fiddled with the fan and walked to the aisle, stopped, leaned against the wall and recalled, "I am an old acquaintance with that leader, and we were soldiers together in more than seven years. He is the son of a great writer, who loves history and vows all his life to dig up all the tombs of ancient celebrities and restore the real history ......"
The fat man leaned sideways and whispered to me, "Isn't this a tomb robbery?" ”
I glanced at the fat man and whispered, "It's archaeology." ”
Lu Fengqin fell into the memories and did not interrupt his thoughts because of my private conversation with the fat man. He talked about it in a paragraph: "During an excavation work, experts originally believed that this super-large tomb was the hiding place of a little-known military general in the Qing Dynasty, but who would have thought that it would be a clothed mound when it was dug up in the end. This time-consuming and laborious waste of resources angered the higher-ups, and a document was issued asking the great writer to think about it behind closed doors and never mention the plan to open another tomb again. Who would have thought that after the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his residence were grounded, this writer still insisted on bringing the coffin into the laboratory with an intuition, and after scanning it with the imported American high-end technology, he found another beautiful picture of mountains and rivers hidden under the painting on the coffin painting in the crown mound and a three-line anagram: the dry bow and umbrella are not satisfied; There are people in the fields who sit and lie on the king; Hand in hand to return to the corpse. Since he discovered the inside story, he secretly traced this dark painting, and then baked the outer painting from the inner layer of the coffin with a small fire, destroying the clue that future generations would see this picture of mountains and rivers again, until the report was completed and announced that this coffin and this well-dressed mound had no academic research value. Although there is nowhere to solve the three-line anagram, the mountains and rivers are real. Since this picture was obtained by my old friend and confirmed by human and financial resources, he brought me from Beijing. I think you have also guessed that this picture is Zulao Mountain, also called Zulao Ding. ”
Lu Fengqin's words stopped here, looked at me, and then looked at the fat man.
I guessed Lu Fengqin's intentions, and in order to show our sincerity, I cleared my throat and said, "There has always been a legend in Zu Laoding, saying that a Han Chinese in the Qing Dynasty became a general. After the general became a great minister, he retreated bravely, returned to the bottom of the mountain with the emperor's reward, and drove the people to build a mausoleum for him near Zulao Mountain. Actually, it was three days ago, the day after I met you. I was drinking tea in the shop, and the fat man called me to say that a contractor named Wang Dongguang had come to sell something to me with a man named Gray San'er...... The fat man and I knew that the Palace of Eternal Life started at this time...... "I told Lu Fengqin about the story I told me about the meeting with Gray San'er, the story that Gray San told me, and the death of Gray San'er.
Lu Fengqin said: "He said that he was interrupted when he fled from the Hall of Eternal Life? ”
"yes." I nodded, "Then he was pulled away by a man and then hit by a tanker truck and killed on the road." And that Wang Dongguang, I asked the fat man to contact ......"
The fat man replied, "I can't be contacted anymore." It seems that Wang Dongguang has also received a warning of 'knowing the Palace of Eternal Life, and those who touch it will die'. ”
Lu Fengqin sighed and said, "There is a method of immortality hidden in the Hall of Eternal Life, whether it has been blown up or not, I have to explore it again." Alas, I missed the Hall of Eternal Life once two years ago, and who would have thought that it would be under the rope bridge! ”
I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Brother Lu, what ......?"
Before my words came out, Lu Fengqin said: "I have to find those two things first, don't worry, as soon as these two things are in hand, I will do what I say to the two of you." ”
"What two things?" The fat man asked.
"It's a mirror with a copper shell that was burned during the Tongzhi period, and a stone that shines at night like the night pearl." Lu Fengqin didn't hide it anymore.
As soon as his words came out, I immediately understood, and thought to myself that my guess was indeed correct. The fat man and I looked at each other unconsciously.
Lu Fengqin's ability to observe words and emotions is different from ordinary people, he was immediately alert, and said to me and the fat man: "What do you know?" About these two things? ”
"No...... We don't know anything. The fat man hurriedly waved his hand, but the movement was so big that he pulled the wound on his body, and he had to cry out in pain "oops".
I laughed awkwardly and said to Lu Fengqin, "Brother Lu, we can exchange a little more information." I want to ask you one thing, is there anything to do with the burning of my store the night before yesterday and the gang of dreadlocks in the mountains next to the reservoir in Hejia Town? Did you raid the gang's nest? ”
