That's agreed? The fat man said a little surprised, after all, according to our thoughts, this seven-fingered man would definitely not agree to our meeting so easily.

Because he is now a demon, and my demon pill is his next target, wouldn't it be self-defeating for me to ask him to meet at this time.

Besides, the place where we met this time, the funeral bookstore near Babaoshan, didn't seem to have anything to do with him, and our meeting this time was really a bit redundant.

But now that he has agreed, the little abacus in his stomach is no longer in our consideration, what we need to consider is how to use this meeting to completely take him down.

We talked to Li Changli, and he said, "I will prepare what I need here, but you need to help me prepare something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Help me empty that bookstore of irrelevant people and important things, because if we have a conflict, it can damage a lot of things."

Li Changli said lightly, this made me and the fat man worry again, the fat man muttered that he said that such an important thing why not said it earlier, I didn't complain about the fat man, what he said is reasonable, the funeral bookstore is not an ordinary place, and the things in it are not ordinary things, they are all very precious treasure maps, so that people can clean up overnight, not to mention whether the boss is willing or not, that is, whether it can be done, I think it is unlikely.

But since things have come to this point, the fat man and I can only set off, the second uncle and Li Yingxue stayed at home, and Li Changli had detailed details of the operation, and tomorrow's meeting was very important.

When the fat man and I arrived at the funeral bookstore, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and the boss was still dozing off there when he pushed the door in, and the fat man shouted several times before he slowly opened his eyes.

I asked him: "Boss, we have something to discuss with you, tomorrow we will meet an important person here, can you help you collect all the valuable things here, I am afraid that there will be some accidents tomorrow and you will be broken, of course, we can negotiate the price." ”

I thought he would look at me with disdain, and then scold me for being stupid and walk away, but the boss looked up at me, stared at me for a long time and said, "Huh? Did I give you a treasure map a few years ago? ”

I didn't expect that after so many years, he actually remembered this incident, and I felt ashamed, after all, it was something that someone gave me, but I sold it, I was a little sorry for the friendship of others, so I could only nod and say: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to remember this incident." ”

The boss yawned and said, "Did you solve anything after that treasure map?" ”

I scratched my head embarrassedly: "No, I'm stupid, I really can't understand what's on it, and then I had a friend who took a fancy to that thing, so I handed him the treasure map and asked him to help look at it, but there has been no news, and it is estimated that there is no result." ”

I was saying something beautiful, and the boss naturally understood that I was selling things, but he didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to use the space tomorrow, then I will make room for you." ”

Neither I nor the fat man expected him to agree so easily, and the fat man hurriedly asked, "What do you say about the price?" ”

The boss didn't look at us, he looked around the shop and said, "What price is not price, I opened this shop, not to make money, not to make money, but I just have one hand, if it is convenient for you, help me clean up all the things." ”

The fat man and I were overjoyed, on the way to the store we were still considering, there are so many important things stored in the bookstore, we are really afraid that the boss will open the price is too high, we can't afford it, but when we get here, we find that it is actually free for us, just need us to help clean up the things!

We naturally won't let go of this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, so we helped the boss to do it in a hurry, and the boss gave us several boxes, especially the treasure map on which bookshelf to put in each box.

The fat man and I started to work with him, but I don't know if I don't do it, it's really a jump, there are more things in this place than I and the fat man expected, I guess we can't finish it all night.

While we were doing it, we curiously flipped through those treasure maps, and wondered if we could see some clues from above, and also gave us a windfall, but it turned out that it was a pity that our IQ was really not the material for doing this, and the fat man muttered: "Alas, it seems that Lao Tzu is destined to be destined to become a destined person in this life!" ”

I said: "Okay, I still want to be a destined person, let's fix these broken things in front of us first, and then let's talk about it, there are also destined people, if you can't handle these things, it's a question of whether you can survive or not." ”

The two of us cleaned up all the way, until more than ten o'clock in the evening, and finally only the last bookshelf was left to be cleaned up, the fat man yawned tiredly, and asked the boss: "Boss, how is the treasure map on your bookshelf different?" ”

I also found this, the treasure map on this bookshelf and the others are not at a glance, the treasure maps on the other bookshelves, most of them are some hand-drawn books, probably because the original version is too worn, the kind that turns into dust when touched, so you need to copy it again by hand, and the treasure map on this shelf, all the originals, is as if it has just been taken out of the soil, for so long, I can still smell the smell of the earthy seeds coming from it.

And what's even stranger is that the fat man and I curiously picked it up and looked at it, and found that the words on these treasure maps were completely different from other treasure maps.

The other treasure maps are either traditional Chinese characters or abstract drawings, and the treasure maps in front of us are all written in a character we don't recognize.

The fat man looked at it for a long time, and suddenly asked me: "Old Chen, don't you think these words are familiar?" ”

"Familiar?"

I looked up at him, I didn't understand what it meant, the words on it were the same as ghost drawings, I didn't know it at all, how could I be familiar with it.

The fat man reminded me, "You forgot? The book of heaven that your second uncle left you at that time seems to be this kind of word. ”

As soon as he said this, I just remembered the book of heaven that my second uncle gave me, and I didn't have time to ask what was going on, but I took a closer look at the treasure map in our hands, and the book of heaven left by my second uncle, the fonts of the two are indeed similar, but they are more different.

My intuitive feeling is that the words on this treasure map seem to be derived from the words "evolution" on the book of heaven.

I don't know if other people have this feeling, that is, looking at the ancient Chinese characters in ancient times, to traditional Chinese characters, to the current simplified Chinese characters, in fact, you can see the traces of font evolution, after all, the ancient fonts and traditional Chinese characters are actually a kind of "pictographic" text, the text not only indicates the meaning of the text, but also indicates the action represented by the text.

This is a very simple process of "pictographic" characters evolving into a single script, so my feeling is that the text on these treasure maps is a single text, and the words on the number of days are "pictographic" characters.

This gave me a bold idea, could it be that these treasure maps were drawn by people in ancient times after retranslating the book of heaven for themselves?

In that case, isn't that heavenly book the original?

How could the second uncle have a book like that?

The fat man saw that I didn't speak anymore, and asked me what's wrong, I told him what I thought, but he felt that it didn't matter and said: "Lao Chen, you really like to think too much, what do you care about so much, anyway, you don't understand what it means in the Book of Heaven, even if it's really what you say, what can you do?" Can you still translate the contents of the Book of Heaven? ”

When I thought about it, what the fat man said was right, but I was a little aggrieved in my heart, and I always felt that the second uncle was hiding something from me.

The owner of the bookstore saw that we were chatting happily and came over to ask us what was wrong, and I told him about the book of heaven and the speculation about these treasure maps, and the boss nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but it may be fake." ”

I asked him what he meant, and the boss said with a slight smugness, "Do you know why I put all these treasure maps on this shelf?" The reason is very simple, because when these were unearthed from the treasure map, they were all unearthed from the tomb of the Yin Shang period. ”

I don't know much about history, but as soon as I heard the word Yin Shang, I knew that it must be ancient times, and even some of them can be traced back to the mythological part, and the bookstore owner is right, if even the things at this time are manuscripts of the Book of Heaven, and the words have evolved, the Book of Heaven can only be something that has fallen into the world in myths and legends.

I was amused by my own thoughts, and all the myths and legends began, and although I don't doubt any ghosts and gods now, it doesn't mean that I approve of any myths or anything like that.

The boss continued: "I remember a few years ago, when you first came into my store, I thought you were very eye-catching, and it must have something to do with these treasure maps, so I gave you a copy, and now it seems that I guessed it, you actually have an older book, when will you show it to me?" ”

I said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry boss, that thing is not mine, it belongs to my second uncle, and we really have some urgent matters to deal with now, if you want to see it, after a while, when we are busy with this time, I will definitely come over to show you something." ”

The boss hurriedly said, "Okay, that's it!" ”

The fat man and I worked for about an hour, and finally sorted everything out and put it in the box, and then the boss found someone to move the box away, and the whole funeral bookstore was empty at once.

The boss handed us the key and said, "Since you want to use it, let's use it for a few more days, it just so happens that I have been looking at the store for a long time, it's time to take a break, you stay here, by the way, help me look at the store, I'll go out and play around and come back." ”

I didn't expect this boss to have such a big heart, after all, it is his own shop, and there are such valuable things, and he will give it to people?

The fat man said: "That boss, aren't you afraid of the two of us, and secretly sell the treasure map in your shop, along with this shop?" ”

The boss laughed and said, "Hahaha! You're not that kind of person! ”

After speaking, he looked at me strangely and said: "Especially you, I always feel that you and my shop, as well as those treasure maps in my shop, there is a kind of fate, just take advantage of these few days, you can take a good look at those things, if you really solve some secrets, it can be regarded as the end of my wish!" ”

After he finished speaking, he left, the fat man and I rested a little, and cleaned up the shop again, the fat man took the key and smiled: "Hehe, it's the first time I've encountered this kind of good thing." ”

I told him not to be happy, and when the matter of the Seven Fingers was settled, it would never be too late to laugh.

Early the next morning, the fat man and I went to the shop, Li Changli said don't worry about him, we just need to meet with the seven-fingered man normally, and when it's time to come out, he will come out.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the seven-fingered man pushed open the door and came in, still looking like a yin and yin: "Both, what is the matter with looking for me this time?" ”
