What I didn't expect was that the day after I arrived in Hangzhou, Wu Lin called and said that he had found an important clue when investigating the beginning and end of Mingjiao, but only I could interpret this clue.

At that time, I also heard Lao Jiang's voice urging Wu Lin to hang up the phone, and Wu Lin's tone was also very anxious, and he hung up after a few words hastily.

After that, Wu Lin lost contact for a long time, and I tried to call him, but his phone was turned off.

Lao Jiang's phone also couldn't get through.

To be honest, even now, I can't figure out how Lao Jiang got together with Wu Lin, you said that the two of them are ordinary friends, I don't believe it anyway.

Wu Lin's kind of person has an irresistible attraction to Lao Jiang, she is a Gu girl, her temperament is like fire, I think, she should be more active than Wu Lin.

But how did these two get together? It's weird.

I say this, mainly because Lao Jiang is one of the three street guards in Lao Alley, Wu Lin abducted her, but he didn't even give me a notice, which is really a bit uninteresting, and Lao Jiang didn't say hello when he left, which also violated the spirit of the contract.

Originally, I planned to wait for Wu Lin to appear, I would ask him about Lao Jiang, but I didn't expect him to be out of contact for so long, half a month later, I no longer have the heart to care about Lao Jiang's affairs, and I am worried that Practical will find my whereabouts, after all, I have been away from the team for too long, and he must have noticed something now.

On the twenty-third day after arriving in Hangzhou, Liang Zi called Wu Lin again, and this time he finally got through, Wu Lin said that he had entered Zhejiang and arrived in Hangzhou three hours later.

Liang Zi hurriedly gathered everyone into a room, but did not go out to greet Wu Lin, just waited in the room.

This seems to be an agreement between Liang Zi and Wu Lin, I am an outsider here, I can only follow the customs, although I also want to go out to pick up the car, but in the end I still choose to wait in the room with Liang Zi and them.

Normally, Wu Lin only needs to say that he will arrive in three hours, then he will definitely come to you in an hour and a half, but this time, we waited for four hours before he dragged a huge duffel bag and entered the room with a tired face.

No one helped Wu Lin open the door, it was he who picked the lock himself.

I have known Wu Lin for so long, and I have never seen him so depressed as today, and on that face that was frozen forever, there was a kind of fatigue and decadence that had nothing to do with cold-bloodedness.

When Liang Zi and Sister Ma saw Wu Lin, they were also shocked.

Wu Lin then threw the travel bag aside: "I'll sleep for a while, and if I don't wake up after fifteen minutes, wake me up." ”

As he spoke, he leaned over and planted himself straight on the bed, and within ten seconds before and after, Wu Lin's slight snoring sound came from the soft pillow.

I glanced at Liang Zi, and Liang Zi frowned.

Sister Ma may be the one who has been with Wu Lin the longest among all of them, and then Liang Zi turned his attention to Sister Ma, and his eyes were full of inquiry.

Sister Ma shook her head in confusion and didn't say a word.

She had never seen Wu Lin like this.

Ten minutes later, Wu Lin got up from the bed by himself, and by this time the decadence on his face was gone, and he had changed into that iron mask-like face.

The first thing he said after he got up was: "Lao Jiang will follow me in the future, don't look for her." ”

I said, "What happened to you, you were like that when you first entered the door, you didn't look like you at all." ”

Regarding this question, Wu Lin just smiled faintly: "After a test, fortunately, I finally carried it." ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to intend to tell the specific content and process of the "test", I didn't intend to ask in detail, but just nodded silently.

Liang Zi and Sister Ma's expressions were even more surprised at the moment, at first I was a little puzzled, how could the two of them be shocked today, and after thinking about it, I realized that they were surprised because Wu Lin laughed just now.

When he was alone with me, Wu Lin would occasionally smile, and although his smile was very rare, I could still see him once or twice. But I think he probably never smiled when he got along with Liang Zi and Sister Ma.

On the contrary, it was Tang Yan, he and Wu Lin should not be very familiar, so he didn't think it was a big deal for Wu Lin to smile.

Wu Lin didn't care what others thought of him, he picked up the travel bag and asked me coldly, "Have you found out what those eight words mean?" ”

The eight words he said about the opening of the golden silk scroll are in the west of the water, and the dragon is in sight.

I didn't dare to give a particularly positive answer, but I told the truth: "There are some speculations at present, and as for whether it is right or wrong, I still need to go to Lady Mountain to witness it with my own eyes." ”

Wu Lin was rummaging through the contents of his travel bag, and when he heard me say this, he raised his forehead and glanced at me: "Madame Mountain." ”

I nodded and said: "An ancient mountain in Henan, this mountain has many names, it was called Fushan before the Eastern Han Dynasty, and later it was renamed Madame Mountain, Yunmeng Mountain, and Foshan in the Central Plains. ”

Wu Lin stopped what he was doing and listened intently to my explanation.

I told him that a few days ago, I asked Liang Zi to help me get a high-definition satellite map of Madame Mountain, and found that on the west side of this mountain, there was a strangely shaped col, which was roughly recognized, it seemed to be an artificially dug waterhole, but the water had dried up and was covered with various vegetation.

On the ridge of this col, there is a forest with a very strange shape, due to the age of the mature trees, at first glance, this forest seems to be naturally formed, but the growth of some trees is not right, and it is speculated that it is also a feng shui bureau planted artificially.

Judging from the satellite map, it should be a broken dragon head feng shui bureau, the dragon body disappeared entirely, leaving only a dragon head, suppressing the north view of the pool, this kind of feng shui bureau was originally very dangerous, but because the waterhole happened to be on a special Qi field node, the power of the feng shui bureau could not be exerted, making it a useless and harmless ordinary feng shui bureau.

Wu Lin asked me, "What does this mean?" ”

I shook my head: "If Fushan refers to Madame Mountain, then I have only solved the six words 'Fushan', 'Xishui' and 'Zaiwang', although it is almost certain now that Xishui Nanwang does have a severed head dragon feng shui bureau, but I don't understand why the word 'swimming dragon' is used to describe it in the ancient scrolls." ”

Wu Lin asked again: "You have to enter Lady Mountain to unravel the meaning of these two words, right?" ”

I nodded.

In fact, I didn't tell Wu Lin the specific meaning of Fushan, I still found it out from the Internet.

This kind of behavior is very dangerous, I am not a left, and my computer knowledge is very limited, so if a practical person finds out the IP address I use to surf the Internet, then they can easily find my location.

Therefore, in order to get on the net this time, I also specially asked Liang Zi to take me to Nanjing.

And this trip to Nanjing, it is also easy to be discovered by practical people, fortunately, we are lucky enough, and there are no mistakes along the way.

This is also a helpless thing, and now Lao Zuo and they can't help me solve the riddle, in order to crack the eight-character proverbs on the ancient scrolls, I can only rely on the power of the Internet.

Fortunately, Wu Lin didn't ask much, and the next moment, he took out a boxy box from his travel bag and handed it to me: "This golden crow box was found when I was investigating Mingjiao, the mechanism on it is very complicated, I can't open it, with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to get it." ”

I took the box and made a cursory eye to make sure there were no hurtful parts on the outer shell of the box, and then took a closer look.

This thing is a product of the Ming Dynasty, the whole body is made of ebony, inlaid with one hundred and eight cloud silk gold threads, the cover is pressed with a piece of gilt Xiangyun, the workmanship is extremely meticulous, as if it comes from the master craftsman's pen.

I don't know why, but when I see this thing, I always feel familiar, and I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.

After thinking about it for a long time, it became clear to me that I had never seen this thing, but I had seen other objects made by this craftsman.

The Haiyun lantern I received from Burma at the beginning, whether it is the meticulous workmanship, the angle and strength of the knife when chiseling wood, or the strength of the lacquered hand, are all inseparable from this golden black box.

These two things are from the same person!

It's also because I have handled a lot of old things, so I can see the commonality between the two.

I casually asked Wu Lin, "Where did you find this thing?" ”

Wu Lin's answer surprised me: "What was found in your organization's evidence vault, this thing was found from the treasure house of Guiyin Mountain last time you searched for it. ”

I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, this guy was able to sneak into the organization's evidence room, not only went in, but also brought things out, but until now, I haven't heard any rumors about the organization being stolen, you must know that this is a big deal, it will definitely spread all over the city, unless, the organization doesn't know that it was stolen.

What's more, even I still don't know where the organization's base is, Wu Lin actually sneaked in, and even sneaked out without being discovered.

Is there anything in this world that he can't do, and is there anything he doesn't dare to do?

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Wu Lin raised his chin towards the golden crow box in my hand: "There is a trap lock under the cloud shell, you can see if you can open it." ”

I opened the gilded cloud on the lid of the box, and sure enough, I saw a three-layered nine-palace lock.

The structure of this nine-square lock is similar to the puzzle board we played with when we were children, that is, eight small square sliders with the same area are set in a square slot, and by constantly moving these eight sliders, the broken pieces on each slider can be put together to form a complete large picture.

There is no picture on the lock of the nine palaces, and the small slider reads "Qian, Kun, Li, Kan, Zhen, Xun, Gen, Dui" to deal with gossip.
