Chapter 19: Eternal Life

Liu Songming coughed lightly on the side, helped Old Man Zhao and asked him to sit down, and then pointed to a plaque in the store that was framed like a word drawn by a spell and said, "That's 'Heng'." ”

I squinted at the word, and it still felt like a ghost drawing.

Old man Zhao nodded, and said proudly: "This is what Qin Wuye wrote to me when he was teaching after the resumption of the college entrance examination. ”

Although I don't quite understand how well this so-called huiyi word "heng" is written, I still grasped a key point: "After 1977? ”

Old man Zhao nodded and said, "At that time, when the turmoil was over and everything was waiting to be rebuilt, Qin Wuye resolutely devoted five years to the education work. Then again, if he hadn't given those five years, maybe he would have found it......"

"Looking for something?" I was surprised.

I glanced at Liu Songming, and this Liu Songming also once said that they had been following Qin Wuye to rob the tomb, and they were just looking for something.

Liu Songming waved his hand to interrupt my words, and said to Old Man Zhao: "Old Zhao, this time Fifth Master Qin wants me to take the young master to Lingnan, and the superfluous things on the young master have to be entrusted to you first." ”

When Old Man Zhao heard the word "Lingnan", his eyelids trembled slightly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Is the old shopkeeper about to Bintian?" That ......"

Liu Songming nodded.

Old man Zhao turned his head to look at me, slowly raised his finger to the word "Heng", and said: "Young shopkeeper, everything can be measured, but that scale is only your heart." ”

I don't know why Old Man Zhao suddenly said such a sentence, and before I had time to think about it, Liu Songming was already standing in front of me and began to ask me for the things on my body.

In fact, Liu Songming is understandable to do this, I even left the fragments of He's Bi with my grandmother, and the extra things on my body may be lost on the road. I handed the bronze dagger and Jingkang Tongbao to Liu Songming, and said, "I still have a savings card on me, and this, I have to take it with me, right?" I patted my chest and motioned for him to carry the dragon and phoenix jade pendant with me.

"What's the use of your credit union card? Isn't it cash, and you still expect to go out of the province and find a place to get it? "Looking at Liu Songming's appearance, he didn't seem to expect that I would hide such a hand.

I pursed my lips, and although I wasn't very willing, I took out the bank card hidden in my panty pocket. I've been thinking about this since I heard my grandmother say that I might want to go to North Vietnam, even if the whole country is one rural family, Vietnam may not be able to recognize my rural credit union savings card, right?

Liu Songming frowned, and stuffed the dagger back into me: "This thing is for self-defense." Liu Songming found a piece of brown paper wrapped in the savings card of Jingkang Tongbao and me and handed it to Old Man Zhao, and then said, "This is one of our stations in this city, and Old Zhao is the head of this station." What I mean is to let you meet with Zhao Lao first, and the future will be long, and if you have something in the future, you can come to Zhao Lao for help. ”

Old man Zhao took a pen and wrote a few words on the brown paper bag and put it in a drawer. He said calmly: "Liu Sigong also met with Lao Yu two years ago. coincided with an eventful autumn, and I have heard of the predicament encountered by the shopkeeper in the previous period. At that time, I only knew that there was a doll in our city who was secretly doing tomb work, but I didn't expect it to be a young shopkeeper in my own family. Blame me for being dizzy for this...... When people get old, they don't want to participate in the hard work of young people, and I didn't put this matter in my heart at that time...... Since Liu Sigong intends to introduce the old man to meet with the young shopkeeper, when the young shopkeeper returns, I will set up a banquet with the old people in the north to welcome the young shopkeeper back to the north. ”

Liu Songming nodded with a smile, grabbed me and said, "Don't hurry up and thank Zhao Lao." ”

I glanced at Liu Songming slightly to express my dissatisfaction, but I still bowed respectfully to Old Man Zhao.

Old man Zhao stroked his beard and smiled lightly, looked at Liu Songming and said, "Liu Sigong has good intentions. Your selection of the young shopkeeper is the joint action of all the directors of my northern station, if the young shopkeeper returns to the north and has the heart to gather the north and south, we must also bow down and agree. ”

I scratched my head and asked a question, but Liu Songming didn't give me a chance. He nodded to Old Man Zhao and explained, "I have already summoned Sanren He back here to preside over the matter. This time, the old master and Mrs. Hu have some agreements, and the three of them will meet with Mr. Zhao to discuss the specific situation. I hope that Zhao Lao will look at my Liu's face and help Sanhe stabilize the overall situation - until I return safely with the young master. Liu Songming turned his head to look at the time on the clock, then looked at me and said, "Let's go, it's almost time." ”

Zhao Lao hugged his fists at the two of us, and Liu Songming and I immediately responded with fists.

When I went out, Liu Songming led me all the way to Tongli and confided in me some of his thoughts.

Liu Songming confided: "Lu Fengqin is actually from the south, you know, right? When Qin Wuye was in power, he had always served as the Southern Sigong, coordinating and distributing the personnel and property in the Southern Organization, and acting as a logistical agent in all activities in the South, coordinating all matters. Qin Wuye already knew Lu Fengqin's wolf's heart, and took advantage of Lu Fengqin's poisoning and assassination of him, so he took the opportunity to tell him the hiding place of the jade seal of the country, and asked him to take the danger and take it again as a yellow bird. Now that Lu Fengqin's wings are getting fuller and fuller, Qin Wuye sees him continue to grow bigger, but he is not allowed to fight between the north and the south. As you can see, most of the old people in the northern garrisons are very dissatisfied, and once Qin Wuye is in the sky, the consequences will be unimaginable. Although Lu Fengqin and I often accompany Qin Wuye, his old man's foresight is beyond our reach, I just guess - this time to go to Peach Blossom Stream, it is Qin Wuye's intention to designate the inheritor before leaving. This is the battle for the heir, the battle between the north and the south, and the battle for the inheritance of the biggest secret of Qin Wuye's life. ”

"Secret?" I said.

Liu Songming smiled: "Young master, if you are younger, you can't understand the truth inside; If you were older, you wouldn't bet on me, or Qin Wuye. I think, after so many things, you have understood how big the organization founded by Qin Wuye is, so big that it is ...... Hehe, it's too big for you to imagine. In this organization, the open secret is that as long as Qin Wuye is by his side, his lifespan will be maximized, and he will not be sick and live a long life. But I don't think this is Qin Wuye's biggest secret. It's hard for you to imagine that in the decades that I followed Qin Wuye, we just helped him keep searching for the whereabouts of the heirloom jade seal in Tiannan and Haibei. Decades, for Qin Wuye, it is just a small period of time in the countless years that Qin Wuye has lived, but it is more than half of the life of our normal people. There must be a secret behind the heirloom jade seal, I think, it is growth...... No, eternal life. ”

"Eternal life?" I was frightened, "Hearing you say this, is it difficult for Fifth Master Qin to become a god?" ”

Liu Songming was slightly stunned: "At least it's still a person now." "I have a certain understanding of history, not to mention immortality, since ancient times, emperors who wanted immortality mostly died of pill poisoning. Even if it is Qin Shi Huang, the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is just a psychological comfort. The heirloom jade seal really has such a great effect, why didn't he take it to the grave together, but instead wandered into the royal family of several dynasties? ”

"What if there is a group of people who have been searching for a way to immortality since the time of Qin Shi Huang, or even earlier, and they have already obtained it? Could it be that they are seeking eternal life? Liu Songming stopped and looked at me seriously.

"This ......" I didn't see that Liu Songming's appearance was perfunctory, so I frowned and said, "Brother Liu, in fact, I already have a doubt in my heart, whether the person Qin Wuye made up by you...... When Old Man Li died, I watched him be buried. ”

Liu Songming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Life is like a dream, sometimes I also feel that my life is a dream." The way you look now is the same as when Elder Zhao taught me to be loyal to Fifth Master Qin. Well, it's what you think, Zhao Lao's group of people who were earlier than me and Lu Fengqin also spent their whole lives helping Qin Wuye find something, and in the end, they were in the residence to retire. I can assure you that Fifth Master Qin is a supreme elder who really exists. On the night he faked his death, I saw you guarding the door......"

"Huh?" I was amazed, "You were the people in the house that night?" ”

Liu Songming raised his eyebrows: "What kind of people in the house?" ”

"Old man Li is in his house...... It was so lively that night, and it was noisy and noisy......" I replied truthfully.

Liu Songming leaned close to my face and touched my head with his hand: "What the hell are you?" Although I didn't stay at the door all the time, I didn't hear Fifth Master Qin say that someone would come to the house that day......"

I rolled my eyes: "Then maybe I really to hell." ”

Liu Songming waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm all guessing." Having said that, after we arrived in Guilin, I needed some time to contact the people to inquire about the specific location of the Peach Blossom Stream. Hopefully, Lu Fengqin left clues along the way. ”

"Will Lu Fengqin leave a clue?" I was stunned for a moment, "Leave it to whom?" Idle? ”

"The southern princes, of course, who supported him. In recent years, my influence has been unable to use the power of the south, and only the Guilin residency is still an old acquaintance of mine. If Lu Fengqin entered the legendary Peach Blossom Stream, he would definitely find a way to sneak in again...... Leaving clues is inevitable. ”

I pondered for a while, and then made up my mind to say bluntly, "You mean that you and Lu Fengqin are both and have wanted to go in there for a long time?" You've planted eyeliner in the South, has the feud between you risen to the level of a feud between the two factions? Fifth Master Qin has to break his heart for you. ”

Liu Songming's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't look back. He replied, "Fifth Master Qin's power to make the people around him immortal comes from the Peach Blossom Stream. The clansmen of the Qin family can gain that power if they are recognized in Peach Blossom Stream. It's an open secret in the organization, and that's number one. The second point is that Fifth Master Qin doesn't worry about our business, all he needs is generation after generation of people to help him find something. To put it mildly, Lu Fengqin is ruthless and unjust, and the only people who can make this person tremble with fear with his name are people who are more ruthless and unrighteous than him. It's just a deal. Liu Songming stopped, turned around and looked at me solemnly, "But you are different, young master. You are not the one who came out of the peach blossom stream, you are different from them. Originally, Qin Wuye's order this time did not force me to take you to that place, and I gave up my life to help you inherit the mantle of Qin Wuye. As long as we get rid of the Lu Feng organ and unify the north and south, we will not ask for a locksmith. ”

"Lockpick?" I wondered.

Liu Songming smiled slightly: "It's just a name." Well, here, let's go to the side of the train track and wait for the train to come. ”

Walking and chatting along the way, I followed Liu Songming to the Tongli Pau Bridge. I wasn't in bad shape, and following Liu Songming, we climbed along the wall, just waiting for the train to Guilin.

When I talked to Liu Songming again, he shirked and said too much, and I didn't want to talk about it for the time being.

Liu Song let the golden bird out, and it was 40 minutes later when the golden bird returned to his cuff. Liu Songming said: "Ready, here." ”

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and in the distance, only two lights illuminated the entire railway track.

I still don't know how many abilities the golden bird has, but today, the train has gradually appeared in our field of vision with Liu Songming's words. This golden bird, in addition to the ability to kill, it also has the ability to observe foreign objects and even clearly inform the owner, what kind of wisdom can create such a sharp weapon......

With the help of Liu Songming, it didn't take much effort to jump on the train with him, which was not fast. After searching for a while, we jumped into an unmanned carriage. From this carriage, Liu Songming picked the lock and led me all the way to the first few carriages.

Found the sleeper that was shown on our ticket, Liu Songming pointed to the bed and told me: "It will take two days from us to Guilin, you can rest in peace." ”

Now that I've found my place, I just lay down on the bed. I said to Liu Songming: "Brother Liu, should we discuss the plan again?" ”

"Huh?"

"Hey ......"

Seeing that I didn't get a response, I glanced at Liu Songming's position, but I didn't expect him to fall asleep with a squint. I sighed and was about to think about something more, but my stomach was screaming at this time.

I glanced at Liu Songming, thinking that I had to rely on myself at a critical time. I sat up and took off the shoes on my left foot, took out two hundred-yuan bills from them and put them in my trouser pocket, put them on and whispered to Liu Songming: "I'm going to buy food, you can fall asleep." ”

Fortunately, I have taken the train many times in the past few years, and I walked all the way to the dining car, made a meal of meat and two vegetarian rice, and stuffed it into my stomach. At this time, I kept saying to my heart, while my stomach still doesn't know how to eat more, I'm so hungry, I can eat a pig.

As I ate, two people walked past me. I habitually glanced at the two of them, but they sat down in front of me on the left.

One of the two men was dressed as an old peasant, and the other was a monkey with a sharp beak and cheeks, looking thin but well-dressed. The old farmer was holding a large box in his arms, looking nervously left and right, looking restless.

The little thin man with the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks spoke to the old farmer and reassured, "Sit down, don't be nervous. ”

Hey, I got excited as soon as I heard him speak. Recently, whether it is a TV series or a movie, including songs, there is this kind of half-foreign taste of speech everywhere. The young people on the street have been talking badly lately, and they are all deliberately imitating this feeling.

The old farmer said: "It's not that I'm nervous, you said that I paid you thousands of yuan, can you really go to Hong Kong to sell this thing?" Is this thing really worth hundreds of thousands? ”

The little thin man smiled on his face and promised, "Really Mr. Lafu (I guess it's Hu)." As long as you listen to me, you can't be wrong that pen holder is from the Qianlong period. Last year, our auction house sold a pen wash from the Qianlong period, and both sold for 1 million mainland coins. We talk about credibility, credibility first. ”

"Ah, that's it...... Whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it. The old farmer put the box on the table, discussed it with the little thin man, and then went to eat.

Originally, this matter might have ended like this, but unfortunately, the little thin man opened the box and took out the pen holder.

By this time, I had finished my meal and walked down the aisle to buy dinner for Yanagi Matsuna. As I passed by the skinny man, the pen holder he was holding was right in front of my eyes. I squinted and glanced at it, and I had a number in my mind, a fake.

When I went to cook, I walked across from the old farmer, and he ducked away from the table on the side, so I smiled at him kindly. Although I have heard of such an unreliable thing as an auction from the mouth of a fat man, I will not block other people's financial paths because of my relationship with the old farmer.

I had finished cooking and was about to go back, when I heard the little thin man peddling some truth to the old peasant. I sat down in my seat again.

The little thin man said, "Mr. Fu, do you want to consider the direction of your development after you sell this thing?" I brought back a few products from Taiwan, and now I can earn 500 every day sitting at home, and I've only been doing it for half a year. I started out as a beginner distributor and now I'm an advanced. Men in modern society must have seven sons in the department. What are the seven sons? Wife, son, son, house, ticket, seat, car. No tickets, nothing. You can be an agent for us for more than 100,000 yuan, you study with me for a while, I guarantee that you will count the money until you are disgusting......"

What the fuck? I was amazed at what kind of routine this was. I originally thought that this little thin man made money from fake auctions, but I didn't expect him to be a dealer......

"I'm in sales. The economy on the mainland side is taking off, and I came to explore the water, and I happened to meet you, Mr. Fu. Mr. Fu, let's go to Guangzhou first, if you do well, your wife, son, and son will all come to Guangzhou. You can sell everything you have on the mainland, and in Hong Kong it is equivalent to being in the center of the global economy, and you can make some money to call your nephews, sisters, and brothers together. There is gold everywhere here, and hundreds of thousands are enough for development investment. If you think about it, 100,000 yuan is just my income for a year......"

Sale? Good name. I was a little fascinated by listening for a while, and it wasn't until the little thin man spoke for more than half an hour, and the uncle in the dining car drove him and the old farmer away.

The uncle of the dining car walked straight up to me, patted the table hard, and said, "Young man, are you stunned?" Do you know what that thing he said was called? That's a pyramid scheme, and even cheating is not a thing. My brother-in-law's child was abducted, and I don't know if it's alive or dead...... At first, the child asked for money from the family, but now he has not even heard from him. No one cares about calling the police, and no one is alive or dead. ”
