Chapter 55: The Horror Serialization (Fifty-Four) The Notebook
Da, da, da......
A series of footsteps sounded from the end of the corridor, Mo Chen made a silent gesture, and everyone was immediately quiet. The sound of footsteps came from far and near, and seemed to stop in front of the door of Room 404 for a moment, and after a few moments, the footsteps sounded again, from near to far.
"Whew~"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, how could the aunt who was sleeping in the house look like she had a sense today, focusing on the situation in their house.
Lu Zhong helped Zheng Yi, and the two of them rearranged the altar that had been set up, leaving an ordinary desk. Mo Chen dusted off the thick dust on the cover of the notebook, spread the notebook on the table, and a group of people waited around him. Haiting moved a chair and leaned on Mo Chen's right, his arm on the table, his face full of anticipation.
Under the faint light of the mobile phone, Mo Chen opened the cover of the book, flipped through it casually, and glanced at the contents recorded in the book cursoryly. It's a pity that this is not Zou Chao's diary, and perhaps, Zou Chao himself has no habit of keeping a diary. However, judging from the content recorded in the book, it is not some useless "theme".
The content recorded in the book is a little confusing.,It's like when the author is recording these contents.,Most of them are casually recorded information.,One by one.,Write it down casually.。 It took a lot of effort for Mo Chen to filter out the things recorded in the contents of the book, which was the story of the origin of the board.
Previously, Dong Jingxun had mentioned to Mo Chen the origin of the wrench he had learned. In the working documents of Dong's father, there is a record of "a story, time cannot be traced, which mainly records the process of the original owner of the wrench being a gem dealer and getting to know the Taoist priests in the rivers and lakes."
Similarly, this story also appeared in Zou Chao's notebook. The difference is that Zou Chao's account is more detailed, and the results are even more eye-popping.
In order to let the other people around him understand the content of the "story" in detail, Mo Chen gently read out the passages that he had filtered out.
"Old and old, so long that it is impossible to calculate its time, strange stones fall from the sky, and fall into the hands of gem merchants. Although he has been in business for many years, he has handled countless rich jade objects, but he can't be sure what this thing is. By chance, the gem dealer got acquainted with an old man with fairy bones, and after talking, he felt that the old man was not a worldly ordinary person, and he admired him and became friends in previous years. ”
Mo Chennian was a little embarrassed, it stands to reason that Zou Chao lived in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and received education in the new era, but the way he recorded things gave people a half-new feeling. Just like the text that Mo Chen just read, it is not as easy to understand as today's vernacular, nor is it as unfathomable and profound as the ancient text. Moreover, Mo Chen noticed a detail, there are many scattered paragraphs, Zou Chao's habit of writing words, from right to left, from top to bottom, which is very similar to the letter writing format in some costume TV series.
The written record is still the same as what Dong Jingxun said, and then when Mo Chen read it again, he found that there was a problem.
In Zou Chao's record, it is said that the gem dealer took the initiative to exhibit the strange stone because he admired the Taoist, and then the Taoist priest said that the strange stone was ominous. After that, the Taoist priest's original practice was not very smooth, and Zou Chao did not write about what happened in it.
In the end, it was just that after the Taoist priest did the method, he suddenly disappeared, and the gem merchant's statement to his subordinates was that the Taoist priest had other important matters, so he left in a hurry despite the night, so no one noticed this matter except the gem merchant himself.
However, one thing is strange, since the Taoist priest left, the temperament of the gem dealer has changed greatly. This is not to say that the gem dealer has become weird, but in short, his family and servants feel that after that, the gem dealer is like a different person. The jade jewelry that he had favored before was no longer interested, and not long after, he sold his family property, dismissed the domestic slave workers, and disappeared alone in the vast sea of people.
Regarding the whereabouts of those wrenches, Zou Chao recorded a total of two kinds of speeches, the first is that the Taoist priest succeeded in destroying the wrench, or sealed it in the mountains. On the other hand, the Taoist priest was unfortunately killed, and the gem dealer was devastated, and his temperament changed greatly due to fear, and finally he left alone with a wrench with the mentality of "all will die together".
In addition, the records behind Zou Chao's notebook are very chaotic, and it is more like a special "straw paper" for students to take exams. Judging from the many hand-drawn drawings that Zou Chao had sketched messily, it seemed that he guessed the place where the so-called seal wrench was located, but Mo Chen couldn't tell from those graphics for the time being where Zou Chao wanted to express.
"What is this? Tell a story too! Kang Qiang was extremely depressed, and he almost "fell to his death" this night, so he exchanged these clues for chicken ribs, which was very annoying.
Haiting snatched the book and flipped a few pages as he wanted, which can be regarded as the first time after entering this topic, he agreed with Kang Qiang's point of view, he snorted coldly, "Zou Chao is really funny, if it were me, I would be embarrassed to show me such a clue." ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zheng Yi scolded sharply, and looked around, as if Zou Chao was still hiding in a corner of this room, but they couldn't see it.
Hai Ting inexplicably felt that someone was blowing on the back of his neck, he looked back sharply, but there was nothing empty, Hai Ting moved his shoulders weakly, and closed his mouth honestly.
Mo Chen stared at the hand-drawn graphics of Zou Chao on the notebook, and he suddenly pointed to one of them and said to everyone, "Eh, you see, this statue doesn't look like a rolling mountain range. ”
When Mo Chen said this, everyone approached to take a closer look, and if they looked at the figure with association, it really felt like a mountain range. After everyone discussed, the division of labor was clear, and after dawn, they each downloaded a detailed geographical map to see where Zou Chao had hand-drawn, where was it?
"Old Mo ......" Hai Ting pulled the corner of Mo Chen's clothes listlessly, and reminded in a half-coquettish tone, "It's not me who poured cold water on you, even if there is really such a detailed map, it may not be able to let us find this...... Well, this place where the great god painted! God knows if the shape he drew was accurate. ”
Mo Chen closed the notebook and said helplessly, "Dead horses should be live horse doctors!" It's better to rely on luck than to do nothing. ”
Mo Chen and they slept at Kang Qiang's house for one night, this time it was all Kang Qiang, the doors of the left and right bedroom units were locked, if Kang Qiang wanted to leave now, I was afraid that he could only jump out of the window.
Haiting naturally would not have close "skin" contact with Kang Qiang, thinking about it, and finally Kang Qiang took the initiative to name Lu Zhong and wanted to "share the bed" with him.
