Chapter 145: Ten Thousand Years of Cold (Part II)
Bei Zihong got up and paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "Dimensional world? What is dimensionality? Unheard of, what does it mean? Are there other worlds? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Senior, I don't really understand, I just made a rough guess, of course, these speculations are based on what the person named Hu Shuntang on the bridge told me. ”
Suddenly, Bei Zihong seemed to understand something, sat down suddenly, looked at Tang Qianlin and said, "I finally know why Xiahou Shidao and Tang Zhanbai came here back then. ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Bei Zihong said: "Back then, your master and Tang Zhanbai suddenly came to me from Guannei, saying that they wanted to investigate a case, it was very tricky, during which I have been helping them change various identities, they have stopped in Harbin, Mudanjiang, Jiamusi and Mohe, and then they didn't say goodbye, I heard from elsewhere, they seem to have taken a child, and they were hunted down, I don't know the specific situation, I can't contact them, I'm thinking, that child may be you." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "According to the memories I retrieved at the time, this is indeed the case, in addition, about Ye Da's matter, I also feel confused, anyway, I can't connect all kinds of clues." ”
Bei Zihong said: "If you want to link the clues together, I'm afraid you can only find the Yan clan and ask for a clear understanding, the Yan clan is both Kartu and the last sacrificer, this is a very tricky group of people." ”
Li Yunfan asked, "How tricky is it?" ”
Bei Zihong took off his clothes, and the two saw Bei Zihong's scars all over his body.
Li Yunfan looked up and down: "Master, what is this?" ”
Bei Zihong put on his clothes again: "You saw it? These are the results of my fierce battle with them many years ago, ostensibly evenly matched, but each time I escaped death. ”
Li Yunfan said: "Master, everyone in the rivers and lakes says that you are a tyrant in the Kanto region, and the Yan clan is so bold that they dare to provoke you?" ”
Bei Zihong said: "The Kartu sacrifice soldiers are not ordinary people, ordinary methods can't deal with them, how many people are there, what are their names, what do they usually do, I only know after the incident, in other words, you never know when they will attack you, sometimes walking on the street, someone will suddenly shoot at you, even if you capture the Kartu sacrifice soldiers, they will take poison and commit suicide in front of you." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Sure enough, they are not ordinary people, so where are their specific positions now?" ”
Beizi Hong said: "Rouge ditch." ”
Li Yunfan said: "Gold mine? ”
Saying that, Li Yunfan explained to Tang Qianlin the origin of the rouge ditch.
After hearing this, Tang Qianlin asked, "Why are they hiding in the gold mine?" Isn't the gold mine now controlled by the Japanese? Is it because the most dangerous place is the safest place? ”
Bei Zihong said: "Most of the people of the Yan clan live there, either as miners or as other traders, they will choose there, or they will use the Japanese to protect them." ”
Tang Yushi interjected: "I understand, if someone breaks in, the Japanese will not care if they are looking for the Yan clan or not, they will treat it as a gold thief." ”
Bei Zihong said: "Yes, that's the truth. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "But, senior, I don't think everyone in the Yan clan knows the location of Xuefengling, who is their leader, and what is the name of the last prince?" ”
"Yan Liuyan." Bei Zihong said the name, "The leader of the Yan clan is called this, and his ostensible identity is the owner of the Rouge Valley Golden Vein Tavern. ”
Li Yunfan was taken aback: "Yan Liuyan? Past Rouge Groove Maintenance Association President? The Yan Liuyan who almost became the magistrate of Mohe County? ”
Bei Zihong nodded, and Tang Qianlin asked, "Do you know?" ”
Li Yunfan said: "I heard Secretary Zhu say before, Yan Liuyan is a big traitor, in his early years he was a pit owner of Rouge Ditch, and later after the Japanese occupied Rouge Ditch, this guy immediately became the president of the maintenance association, working hard for the Japanese and the puppet Manchurians, although secretly also connected with our team, but in fact it was to design and frame, our team almost fell into his plan, and the people in the mountains wanted to get rid of him many times, but they never found a suitable opportunity. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "That is to say, as long as we enter the Rouge Gully and tie Yan Liuyan, we can find a way to let him lead us to Xuefengling, right?" ”
Bei Zihong said: "As far as I look at now, there is indeed only this one way. ”
At this moment, Ye Yunong, who was lying there, seemed to wake up, and he struggled to open his mouth to say something, and everyone immediately stepped forward.
Tang Qianlin attached his ear to Ye Yunong's mouth and listened carefully.
Bei Zihong asked, "What did he say?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "It's nothing, I didn't say anything." ”
Bei Zihong frowned: "He only has half a life left, I guess he is talking nonsense, I think it's really not good, so I can only give him a good time, lest he suffer again." ”
Tang Qianlin got up and asked: "Senior, this Ye Yunong is the only connection between the Yan clan and An Guotao, is it that after An Guotao's death, the Yan clan was worried about leaking the news, so they simply started to kill it?" ”
"There is no need to doubt that he must have been silenced, because he knows too much." Bei Zihong looked at Ye Yunong who was dying, "Although he is not a member of the Yan family, he knows the hiding place of the Yan family, and he also knows the identity of the leader. Naturally, I had some friendship with other local cargo chasers, and it was because of this that I discovered Ye Yunong's identity. ”
After Bei Zihong finished speaking, he turned around and went to the cabinet next to him and took out a black box.
When Bei Zihong opened the box, Tang Qianlin and Li Yunfan saw a fist-sized white crystal inside.
Tang Qianlin looked at the thing: "Crystal? ”
Bei Zihong didn't explain, but just shook his head slightly to deny Tang Qianlin's speculation.
Li Yunfan looked at it for a while, touched the surface of his fingers, but immediately shrank back like an electric shock.
Seeing this, Tang Qianlin asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's so cold, it feels like it can freeze my fingers in an instant." Li Yunfan raised his eyes and looked at Bei Zihong, "Master, shouldn't this thing be Wannian Cold?" ”
Bei Zihong finally spoke: "Indeed, this thing is Wannian Cold." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "What is the Ten Thousand Years Cold?" ”
Bei Zihong said: "Others say that there are three treasures in the Northeast, ginseng, mink and ura grass, and some say that it is ginseng, mink and deer antler, but in the different ways, the three treasures of the Northeast are snow clams, keel, and ten thousand years of cold. ”
Snow clams and dragon bones Tang Qianlin knew, but he didn't know what the Ten Thousand Years Cold was.
Tang Qianlin asked: "This thing is ten thousand years cold?" What is it? What is it for? ”
Bei Zihong said: "To put it simply, this thing is a piece of ice, a piece of ice that is not easy to dissolve, in the past, there was an emperor's house constantly looking for Wan Nian Han, just to be able to keep the body from rotting after death, and Wan Nian Han can also treat some heat poisons, which has the effect of alleviation, and now the value on the market is equivalent to ten gold ingots of the same size as this Wan Nian Han." ”
A piece of ten gold ingots worth the same size in 10,000 years of cold? Tang Qianlin couldn't help but touch it with his hand, and retracted his hand as soon as he touched it, it was indeed the same as what Li Yunfan said, his hands were very cold, and they were painfully frozen, just like exposing his fingers directly outside for a long time in the cold winter.
Bei Zihong closed the box, but handed it directly to Tang Qianlin: "This thing can save your adopted son, wrap it in thick cotton cloth, put it on your chest for a quarter of an hour, and if you insist on it for a month, you can detoxify." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Senior, this thing is too valuable, I will borrow it temporarily, once the poison in the rain is resolved, I will definitely return the original thing." ”
Bei Zihong smiled: "No need, these are all things outside the body, of course it is good to be able to save people." ”
Tang Qianlin looked at Tang Yushi: "When it rains, come, kneel down and kowtow to thank your predecessors for saving your life." ”
Tang Yushi immediately stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow to Bei Zihong to thank him.
When Bei Zihong helped Tang Yu up: "It's a good boy." ”
Tang Qianlin looked at the box in his hand: "The relationship between Ye Yunong and Yan Liuyan and An Guotao was discovered by the predecessors based on this thing?" ”
Bei Zihong said: "That's right, there was indeed a legend of the Snow Sealed Ridge in the early years, but no one associated it with the Shaman Spirit Palace, just thinking that only in the Snow Sealed Ridge can you find the Ten Thousand Years of Cold." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Then how did the predecessors know that the Shaman Spirit Palace is connected with the Snow Sealing Ridge?" ”
Bei Zihong hesitated for a moment and said: "The child I told you before, when I rescued him, I found that he had such a small Wannian Han in his pocket, according to what this child said, I concluded that he ran out of the hands of the Yan clan, in other words, that is, he ran out of the Snow Sealing Ridge, since this is the case, then the Snow Sealing Ridge guarded by the Yan clan may be hiding the Shaman Spirit Palace." ”
Tang Qianlin nodded silently after listening, and after glancing at Ye Yunong on the bed again, he hugged his fist to Bei Zihong and said: "Senior, since this is the case, then we might as well set off for Rouge Gou tomorrow, but I still have a few companions in the old tunzi outside the county seat." ”
Bei Zihong said: "In this way, you go back first, early tomorrow morning, I will go to Jiutunzi to find you to meet you, and then go to Rouge Gou together." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Okay, thank you seniors, let's go first." ”
When Tang Qianlin and the others were about to leave, Bei Zihong said to Li Yunfan: "Yunfan, we haven't seen each other for many years, you can stay tonight, don't you still have something to ask me?" ”
Li Yunfan glanced at Tang Qianlin, thinking that he really had a question of his life experience to ask Master, so he said, "Then I will stay with Master tonight, Old Tang, you and Yushi should be more careful when you go back." ”
After Tang Qianlin and Tang Yushi said goodbye to Li Yunfan, they left the shop and returned along the same road.
After the two walked out of Mohe County, Tang Qianlin quietly changed direction in the dark and walked towards the north.
Tang Yushi felt strange and hurriedly asked, "Dad, where are we going?" ”
Tang Qianlin said in a low voice: "There are people following us along the way. ”
Tang Yushi said: "I know, but after leaving the city, the people who followed him withdrew." ”
Tang Qianlin said as he walked: "This generation is the old nest of the Yan clan, so the people of Kartu must be everywhere, and we have to go back again." ”
Tang Yushi asked, "What are you going back for?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "I want to go and see the burned pawnshop." ”
