Chapter Twenty-Three: The Flower of the Other Side
The group followed up the mountain, at first there were stone steps under their feet, and the higher they walked, the narrower the path became, and when they reached the top of the mountain, it was already a path of sheep intestines that had been stepped on by their feet. There are freshly sprouted grasses and unknown wildflowers on the roadside.
Xiaoqing didn't go up, but only stood at the entrance of the tomb halfway up the mountain and watched the wind.
Lao Wu took out the binoculars and saw a small temple in the northwest at a glance, which seemed to be old, but it was by no means a Tang Dynasty building, perhaps it was rebuilt on the original site in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
He looked in other directions, and as far as his eye could see, there were fields of wheat.
According to the stone carvings of the Taiji map drawn by the Ming Dynasty Longqing, there should be a geographical or architectural sign representing water, gold and wood in the northwest, southwest and southeast directions, and the place where the four directions cross diagonally should be where the treasure is.
Now, except for the Soa River, which flows in the northwest, which can represent the water level, there is no trace of it in the southwest and southeast. The young man must not have analyzed the results, so he didn't do it for a long time, otherwise this treasure would have been dug up by them.
Lao Wu shook his head a little frustrated and said, "Don't look at it, let's go down the mountain."
Lao Wu didn't find out where the location was, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, and the others followed him down the mountain silently.
When they walked past the altar again, Li Bing saw that under the ruins of the six horses of Zhaoling, there was a strange flower, blooming blood-red. The petals, as thin as willow branches, bent inward, and there was not a single leaf, but they grew straight on the ground.
Li Bing asked Xiaoqing what kind of flower it was? Where did Xiaoqing say? Li Bing looked again, but the flowers were gone.
He ran to him and looked carefully, there was obviously a flower without leaves, why was it missing?
Lao Wu said: "No leaves? Isn't it the other side of the flower! So he walked over and wrote down the location of the stone tablet and said, "Take more pictures of these four areas, and let's go back and study them slowly."
It was already afternoon when they came out of Zhaoling, and a few people drove to the county seat, walked slowly on the street, looking for restaurants everywhere, and turned a street corner, a huge red door plaque came into view, which said a century-old shop, authentic donkey hoof noodles.
Yu Xiaolong's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "Red dog blood and donkey hooves, this is the standard for inverted buckets."
Lao Wu said, "Just enter this house."
A few people entered the store and took their seats at the square table in the corner.
Yu Xiaolong asked, "Boss, are there any braised donkey hooves?"
The owner, a woman in her forties, was a bit coquettish, and she came over with the menu and said, "Little brother, we don't have donkey hooves in our shop, we have pig's trotters in sauce."
Lao Wu said: "Pig's trotters are pig's trotters, come to a catty, and then platter cold dishes." Four bowls of donkey hoof noodles. ”
The meal was quickly served, Yu Xiaolong flipped around, and suddenly shouted, "Boss, why don't you have a donkey's hooves in the noodles?"
The proprietress sneered and said, "How can there be a donkey's hooves in the donkey's hoof?"
Yu Xiaolong said: "Then why is it called donkey hoof noodles?" Is it obviously deceiving consumers? ”
Xiaoqing hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, people's noodles are called donkey hoof noodles, and the shape of the noodles is like donkey hooves."
Yu Xiaolong said, "So that's the case."
Li Bing said: "Really put a donkey's hooves in for you, can you gnaw it?"
Yu Xiaolong said: "I have one in my bag, authentic Republic of China goods, old donkey hooves, do you want to try it?"
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "Don't be disgusting, the donkey hooves of the Republic of China stink now."
Yu Xiaolong said: "Do you understand the air drying, do you want to take a look?"
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "I won't watch it."
Yu Xiaolong said: "You two, just breathe out of one nostril now, hey, it's better to have a feudal society."
Xiaoqing said: "What does it have to do with feudal society?"
Yu Xiaolong said: "Of course it matters, at that time, the one who married three wives and four concubines, this one was given to the back, and the other was given to the cigarette." looked at Li Bing, and Li Bing was silent.
Xiaoqing said, "You are really not serious."
Li Bing asked Lao Wu: "Do you want to go back after eating?"
Lao Wu said: "Don't go back first, find a place to live, and set the place before them."
Li Bing said: "Those two are also upside down?"
Yu Xiaolong said: "I can't see any eyesight."
After a few people finished eating, they found a hotel to stay, and Lao Wu called Professor Shao, told him about the situation in the morning and his own judgment, and asked him if he could provide some clues about the two locations of Jinmu.
The professor only said that this layout is too old, and try to think of a way.
Sun Xiaoxiang and Xiaoqing were in a room, and they each took a shower and came out, Sun Xiaoxiang came to Xiaoqing and said, "You have a body fragrance, a faint jasmine smell."
Xiaoqing blushed and said, "Really? I don't think so. She took out a set of cosmetics to draw her eyebrows and eyes, and Sun Xiaoxiang sat opposite and looked at it and said, "You are so beautiful without makeup, you are simply a fairy with makeup."
Xiaoqing said: "How can you be beautiful." Do you want to wear makeup? ”
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "I haven't made it, why don't you draw one for me?"
Xiaoqing gently drew it with an eyebrow pencil, and Sun Xiaoxiang said, "Your name reminds me of a person."
Xiaoqing said, "Is it Nie Xiaoqian?" A lot of people say that. ”
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "No, it's Xiaoqing in the legend of the New White Lady, do you have a sister named Xiaobai?"
Xiaoqing stopped the brush and was stunned for a while before saying, "How do you know?"
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "There really is, I'm just guessing."
Xiaoqing said: "I have a twin sister named Bai Jie, who is surnamed by my mother."
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "Twins, they must be as beautiful as you."
Xiaoqing said: "I haven't been in touch for several years, and I don't know where she is now."
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "Why don't you contact it?"
Xiaoqing sighed and said: "A few years ago, she fell in love with a kid in our town, and the man knew at a glance that he was not a serious person, but my parents resolutely disagreed, and locked her up at home and beat her for this matter." But my sister was like a demon, so she ran away with the man, and left a note saying that she would never come back. My family searched the entire provincial capital, but there was no news, maybe they went to another place. , really won't come back......"
Sun Xiaoxiang said: "Your sister is very ruthless."
Xiaoqing said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is difficult to say it in a word."
Sun Xiaoxiang originally wanted to ask her about how she knew the professor. Hearing her say this, it's hard to ask again.
After the makeup was done, Sun Xiaoxiang looked in the mirror, turned around, and went out to find Li Bing in the next house. As soon as he pushed the door but didn't lock it, Li Bing came out of the shower and wore briefs.
When he saw Sun Xiaoxiang, he hurriedly turned around and went into the toilet again, leaning against the back of the door, his heart beating.
I just glanced at it, and the beauty of that moment actually made him react.
He wrapped himself in a bath towel and said, "Wait a minute."
Sun Xiaoxiang was also a little embarrassed and retreated, but almost bumped into Lao Wu behind him.
Lao Wu said: "Putting on makeup? When you are young, you all come to my house and have a meeting. ”
Sun Xiaoxiang followed Lao Wu into his house, and Li Bing also hurried over with his clothes on.
Lao Wu asked, "Where is Yu Xiaolong?"
Li Bing said: "I was still there just now, and when I came out of a shower, I disappeared."
Lao Wu dialed the phone, but no one answered.
