Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan carefully inspected each box, and finally let Tang Qianlin find that there was the largest and heaviest box in the corner, and there were many tadpole-like lines on the surface, but these lines could only be touched, and they couldn't see anything when they looked closely.

Li Yunfan looked at it for a long time, and then looked at Tang Qianlin: "Did you find the wrong one?" These may just be ordinary patterns. ”

Tang Qianlin affirmed: "It must be this box." ”

Li Yunfan asked: "Why are you so sure?" ”

"First of all, this box is full of bronze utensils, although it is also valuable, but it is nothing compared to the objects in other boxes, the purpose of the Yi family's ancestors is to let the people who break in not pay attention to this box." Tang Qianlin said and pointed to the box again, "And this box itself is very big and heavy, even if the thieves who come in are very greedy, they will only take the bronze artifacts in it, and will not take away this bulky and worthless box with them." ”

Li Yunfan nodded: "Yes, it makes sense, and you can't fix the box, otherwise wouldn't this mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver here?" But what exactly is the pattern on the chest? ”

Tang Qianlin gently touched it with his hand, slowly touched it from top to bottom on the right side, felt it, and said after a long time: "It's Manwen." ”

Li Yunfan said: "Manchu? ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "And it's the secret text of the Manchus." ”

Li Yunfan shook his head: "What is the Manchu ciphertext?" ”

Tang Qianlin explained: "In the pre-Qin period, the Manchus were called Su Shen, the Qin and Han dynasties were called Rulou, and the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were called Beji, until the Liao destroyed the Bohai State and called the Jurchens, and the Jurchens were the direct ancestors of the Manchus. Zhushen is the Jurchen for Manchuria, after the Xinhai Revolution really had the title of Manchu, and Manchu and Manchu ciphertext belong to two different scripts, the ciphertext originated in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties period, and later came to the Later Jin Dynasty, becoming a special code for the Manchus to transmit military intelligence at that time, it is difficult for foreigners to crack, because among their own people, only shamans understand this kind of ciphertext. ”

Li Yunfan asked: "Then can you understand this kind of text?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Try it, you go up and find some white paint or paint from Xiao Tianjun." ”

After a long time, Li Yunfan and Xiao Tian Che came down with paint and helped Tang Qianlin brush all the boxes with paint, and then Tang Qianlin rubbed all the ciphertext on it with paper.

Back in the cellar, Tang Qianlin slowly spread the rubbing paper on Xiao Tianjun's table, and the three of them stood in front of the table and looked at the things on it that didn't look like words at all, but rather strange symbols.

Li Yunfan pointed to one of the vertical lines and said: "You see, these are Manchu texts, and there are a lot of current Manchu characters interspersed with them, but most of them are symbols. ”

Tang Qianlin looked at it: "It's not a symbol, it's a hieroglyph, just like our earliest Chinese characters." ”

Li Yunfan asked, "Do you know each other?" ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "Seventy-seven-eighty-eight, our Xuanzi Sect believes that the Shaman Spirit Palace should have a direct relationship with the Manchus, so almost everyone of us has studied the Manchu script and the ciphertext, but the ciphertext above is still different from what we learned before, but we can probably understand it." ”

Li Yunfan asked, "What is written on it?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this side is about the genealogy of the Yi family." Tang Qianlin pointed to the rubbing paper on the left, "The Yi family is not Han Chinese, they didn't come from the eastern part of the country, they are pure Manchus, and their surname is Tulagan." ”

Li Yunfan recalled for a long time: "In my impression, the Manchus don't seem to have this surname. ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, Manchu surnames are very complicated, those we usually hear about are big surnames, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, a strict household registration system was formulated, and the banner people were divided into four types: the main household, another household, account opening and household people. Among them, the main household is the commoner of the Eight Banners, and the other household is a separate household from the main household, just like the main family and the separate family, but the status is the same. Huxia refers to those slaves, people who do not have independent household registration, and these people's surnames are many and complicated. And most of the shaman's surname is kept secret, and to become a shaman you have to abandon some things from the past, so you don't have this surname in your impression, it's normal. ”

Oda Jun stood in the back and listened expressionlessly, without asking questions or interjecting.

Li Yunfan picked up another one: "Then what is written on this?" ”

After reading it carefully, Tang Qianlin said: "It probably says why their Tulagan clan wants to change their name to the surname Yi, and they have to completely hide their own clan." ”

Li Yunfan asked: "Can you finish it in one breath?" ”

Tang Qianlin glanced at Li Yunfan: "Don't worry, I have to look down slowly." It is said that from the first year of Chongde, the Tulagan clan began to remain incognito, because Huang Taiji forcibly suppressed and suppressed shamanic activities. ”

Li Yunfan wondered: "I haven't heard of this, why?" ”

Tang Qianlin put down the rubbing paper: "I know this, in the first year of Chongde, Huang Taiji once issued an order, the original text said, 'Mortals sacrifice to the gods and make vows, marry, go to the grave of the dead, kill, sell, slaughter cattle and sheep, horses, mules, and donkeys, and never be allowed', and it is also clearly stipulated that 'Manchuria, Mongolia, and Han people are fair and Taoist, and they are never allowed to dance with others to take evil spirits, talk about misfortune and fortune, deceive people's hearts, and kill those who do not obey'." ”

Li Yunfan was still puzzled: "Why? is so strict, could it be that Huang Taiji was anti-feudal at that time? ”

"It's not anti-feudal, the purpose is to protect those livestock, because livestock are important production tools, once they are slaughtered and sacrificed to the gods, how can the common people live? If you can't get by, you won't be able to pay taxes, if you don't pay taxes, the treasury will be empty, and if the people can't live, they will open their mouths to the imperial court, and the contradictions will intensify, and there will be a popular uprising. Tang Qianlin looked at the rubbing paper carefully and said, "And I'm afraid that some people have ulterior motives in these activities, bewitching the people, you must know that in the folk strange forces and chaos are usually for the common people, there are two effects, one is to pray for blessings, and the other is to cure diseases, in short, I don't believe in the so-called witch doctor or the like, just recite a few words of mantra and give you some runic water, you can heal you, if that really works, then do you still need medical skills?" ”

Li Yunfan nodded: "I agree with your point of view, I don't believe in these either, in fact, my father doesn't believe it either." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, the cargo chaser, like us, thinks that there are indeed many unexplained things in this world, but if it is definitely not an unexplainable thing, it must be a strange force." ”

Li Yunfan asked, "What do you say next?" ”

Tang Qianlin continued to look down: "It said that the Tulagan family was framed by traitors, saying that their clan was demagogic and plotting to rebel, and the head of the Tulagan family knew that it was difficult to distinguish a hundred mouths, so he let one of the pregnant concubines escape overnight and went to Zhuzhou, Hunan Province to seek refuge with a friend surnamed Yi, this concubine gave birth to a boy, and the boy changed his surname to Yi from then on, and the Tulagan clan guarded ......"

Tang Qianlin was stunned when he said this, and only after a while did he raise his eyes to look at Li Yunfan and continue: "The burden of guarding the Shaman Spirit Palace completely falls on this child. ”

Li Yunfan was also stunned, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he didn't expect that Yi Mochen's ancestor would be the one who guarded the Shaman's Spirit Palace.

Tang Qianlin sat down: "No wonder the lone army wants to lure Yi Mochen into the game, the original purpose is this." ”

Li Yunfan shook his head slowly: "Yes, it seems that even Yi Mochen himself doesn't know that he is a man." ”

Oda-kun finally spoke: "Isn't that great?" Look at what the others have said, maybe the location of the shaman's spirit palace is recorded, so that you will save a lot of effort, won't you? ”

Tang Qianlin flipped through the other photos: "It does not record the location of the Shaman Spirit Palace, but it writes about the sacrificial cultivation cave, and also writes about the existence of the corpse dissolving dragon, and also says that unless there is a descendant of the Tulagan family to lead, the Shaman Spirit Palace will never be found." ”

When Li Yunfan heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile: "I can't believe in the will of heaven this time, you didn't let my father go, but recommended Yi Mochen to the secret search class, and Yi Mochen's ancestors were the guardians of the Shaman Spirit Palace." ”

Tang Qianlin was worried beside him: "The Japanese military and the Baxiangmen were already very tricky, and now there is another lone ......."

Li Yunfan said: "It seems that it is right for you to choose to cooperate with the Japanese before, with the help of their strength, and then counter them, otherwise, the lone army is so strong, how can we deal with it?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "The most troublesome thing about the lonely army is that this group of people is pervasive, although they act alone, you never know who he will become next time, and what he will bring, maybe what we thought was a good thing at the beginning will actually turn into a disaster in the end." ”

Li Yunfan just wanted to say something, but because of Xiao Tianjun's presence, he had to hold back and motioned for Tang Qianlin to go upstairs with him.

After the two closed the door of the tunnel, they said goodbye to Oda and left the cellar.

Oda Jun stood there, staring at the rubbing paper on the table in a daze.

Back in the hall, Li Yunfan carefully observed four times, then looked in the direction of the cellar entrance, and after making sure that Xiao Tianjun did not come up, he said: "My direct leaders and traffic officers have been trapped, and I have lost contact with the Anti-Japanese Federation, so I can't ask my superiors for assistance." ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "I know, but I don't understand something." ”

Li Yunfan asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Tang Qianlin sat down and said: "Your direct leader is Zhu Weidong, the leader of the provisional provincial party committee, and the person in charge of the liaison between you and Zhu Weidong is the traffic officer, that is, the waiter who works at the Lavas bar, what is his name?" ”

Li Yunfan replied: "The nickname is Shunzi, and the big name is Zhang Dagen." ”

Tang Qianlin asked again: "Except for Zhu Weidong and Shunzi, who else knows your identity in the Anti-Japanese Federation?" ”

Li Yunfan shook his head: "There can't be a third person, because my identity is too special, Zhu Weidong's original plan was that there should be no Shunzi as a traffic officer between us, but because he is a teacher at the Harbin branch of Jianguo University, and I am from the Security Bureau, the two of us often meet and will be suspected, so we arranged Shunzi." ”

(Puppet Manchukuo University: commonly known as Xinjing Jianguo University, after the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo with the support of the Japanese invaders, the national university directly under the State Council of the puppet Manchukuo was the first university of the puppet Manchukuo at that time, and the current ruins are located in Changchun University.) ）

Tang Qianlin analyzed: "What I wonder about now is, why do the Japanese want Junko to go with us? ”

Li Yunfan recalled: "Park Byung-jung's explanation to me was that Chance would lead Junzi on a special mission, but I didn't know what the task was. Of course, I also doubted the possibility of Junko's defection, but if he had defected, I would have been arrested a long time ago. ”

Tang Qianlin thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is a game set up by the Japanese in order to control you." ”
