Chapter 49: Father and Son II
The three of us guarded it as if we were facing a great enemy, and Qi Taisheng brewed and drank and drank a cup of tea, but there was no taste of tea, so he could only return in a huff.
"He'll definitely come back."
That's for sure. The group of them stayed in Shahu, and Senior Brother Lizhu sent someone to say that they were asking around Shahu about rivers, ditches, and lakes. The town of Shahu is next to the lake, and the town is named after it. The lake is huge, and even on a sunny day, the surface of the lake is full of smoke. Those who have lived by the lake for several lifetimes and made a living from fishing cannot tell the origin and origin of this lake.
Seeing Qi Taisheng away, the three siblings closed the door and looked at the cylinder together.
"I've looked up a lot of things over the years, but none of them are right." Qi Jing said with some distress: "Who knows what is mysterious here? My mother told me that the secret of this thing is only afraid that the whole world will want to know. ”
Qi Han held his cheeks and sighed: "What do people all over the world want?" ”
"Money." Qi Jing said.
"Right." Qi Han also made up for it.
I thought for a moment: "Immortality? ”
Qi Jing nodded: "It's all possible." ”
The six eyes of the three men converged on the cylinder.
In other words, it may be a treasure map, a secret letter left by some secret family, or a martial arts secret book that can make people crazy.
Isn't that what is said in some books? The emperors, princes, and generals of the previous dynasty would always leave a huge treasure, and to get the treasure, there must be a treasure map, and everyone threw their heads and spilled blood for this picture......
Or, a hidden and unknown mysterious family, leaving behind a token. Whoever obtains this token will become a human being overnight, with unimaginable power. Respond to every call......
Of course, it may also be a treasure trove that can make people become a top master, or even a fairy character.
These things, people in the world are afraid that there is nothing they don't want.
"However, if you can't open it, everything will be in vain."
"Well, father......" I paused, "I mean, my father-in-law is well-informed, maybe he knows." Why don't we ask ......?"
Qi Jing and Qi Han glanced at each other. They shook their heads at me.
"Little sister, it's not our ...... He couldn't believe his father-in-law. But there's a lot at stake......"
Isn't that still unbelievable?
But I understand. In this world, you should never expect others to keep your secrets for you. "I'll tell you something, you must not tell anyone" makes no sense. You haven't kept a secret yourself, so how can you expect others to keep their mouths shut?
"Ah, I still have something to find my father. Sister, you should keep this. ”
Qi Han bit his lip and hesitated for a while. Turning his head to Qi Jing, he said, "Brother, I think what the little sister said actually makes sense." How much knowledge can the three of us have, I'm afraid that even if we face it for the rest of our lives, we won't be able to break the secret. Scrooge starved to death while guarding the mountain of gold, and instead of this, it was better to go to the Father. ”
Qi Jing also hesitated.
"Compared to others. The stepfather should be a little more credible. Qi Han whispered: "Speaking of which, illusion can still be so magical. After that experience, my brother and I felt that our skills and vision were completely different from before. The swordsmanship of the man in the illusion is exquisite. There are also endless conspiracies and tricks - I think my understanding of the rivers and lakes before was really shallow, and I really didn't know that people in the world could come up with so many ghost domain tricks. Fortunately, I experienced it first in the illusion, and if I encountered it in the future, I would also be prepared. Know what to do. Such a precious thing cannot be read in books, and no one else can teach it. Only when you have experienced it yourself can you understand and learn ......"
Qi Jing nodded in the end.
I carried the cylinder to my father.
"What is this?"
"It's a relic of the Jade River." I whispered, "It's said to be something very important, but I can't find a mechanism to open it." ”
My father picked it up, and after just looking at it, he made a conclusion: "This is the stuff of Su Yigong, who was once very famous in the rivers and lakes." ”
Su Yigong? I think I've heard of it.
"It's a long time ago, some people say that he is a descendant of Luban, and he can make all kinds of things that people can't even imagine. It is said that the layout and composition of the current capital and the construction of the imperial city were all made by him. ”
"Ah, I remember. So how do you open this? Could it be that it was simply sealed? ”
"No, it won't. This man has a strange temper, and one thing never changes. Even if he wants to do something that is tight and solid, he has to leave a gap, this person has never done a lifeless thing in his life, but unfortunately it ended badly in the end. If such a thing is made by him, there must be a way to open it. ”
"But how do you open it?"
My father carefully examined the cylinder from front to back, left and right: "That's right, it's his handiwork." This man has always believed that he is ingenious, and if he had set up a mechanism, the solution would have been unexpected, and he would have been satisfied. ”
The father gently put the cylinder down and asked softly, "You went out last night?" ”
"Ah...... Be. I nodded.
"And Ji Yu?"
"Hmm." I nodded again, and finally said the words that had been stuffing in my stomach for a long time: "Father, there may be something else going on in the events of the past. Ji Yu...... Also, I don't think I did those things myself. ”
Father was stunned.
"Father, even if I have evil thoughts in my heart, and those evil thoughts are separated from my body and become another me, but even then, I will not be cruel to anyone who has no grudges, or even someone I don't know at all."
My father looked at me in amazement.
"Father, yesterday I was really ...... Saddened. I skipped the word despair: "Even if you say that, I felt like I was in despair." I don't know why I'm still alive, is this time life just making me regret and suffer for what I have done? ”
"Aning......" Father's hand was raised a little and put it back again.
I can now calmly say what I want to say.
However, another sentence suddenly popped up in my heart.
Parents of those who gave birth to me, and those who know me......
Shi Gong also.
"I haven't remembered everything back then. Maybe I'll never remember it. However, I believe that I am not a wicked person, and that I have not done anything wrong. After a pause, I added, "I'll get things straight." If I owe someone else, I will make amends, and if they owe me, then I must seek justice for myself. ”
