Chapter Forty-Six: Secrets

The three of them sat down together and set up the pot again, and Lin Chongshu nibbled away ten of our chicken legs, ten chicken wings, several bags of compressed beef, compressed biscuits, canned food, and a large bottle of distilled water.

We checked the identity, the Jiang Jun he was looking for was me, Jiang Jun, and he originally lived in a small place in this Ke Ho Xili, and was picked up by the master since he was a child, and the two of them depended on each other here.

Before his death, his master entrusted him that he must go to Yinchuan to find a person named Jiang Jun, hand over the painting to him, and then protect Jiang Jun for the rest of his life.

His master turned out to be just a down-and-out martial artist, there were many masters during the Republic of China, and it was not easy to get ahead, but then he was appreciated by my grandfather by chance, and stayed to be a guard by my grandfather's side, and accompanied my grandfather from birth to death, so it can be said that without his master, my grandfather would not have lived for so long.

Including these words, his master asked him to memorize them before he died, and he completely relayed them after meeting me. And about this painting, Lin didn't know too much, and his master just said: "It's time." ”

I didn't mention anything else.

Judging from his tone, it seems that they have not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, and they don't know that my grandfather is still alive, and even my name is the signal of the agreement that his master mentioned, as if my grandfather had expected it a long time ago, otherwise they would definitely not have come around to find me again.

I'm not going to guess this time, this painting is amazing, if he is to return it to my grandfather, then it is better to be safer in his hands, put it in my place, but if the news is revealed, I will have to be a corpse in the wilderness within three days.

After thinking of this, when I returned to Wudaoliang, I had to make a phone call and ask everything to understand, so I was always surrounded by people in such a daze, how could I stand it.

Since the meeting of the three of them was fate, under Xiaoyu's strong suggestion, the three of us had a very embarrassing knot, and I also righteously denied his idea of a bloody alliance.

Lin Chongshu is twenty-four years old, ranking second, and now our team is literate, martial and beautiful.

I asked the second child who gave him such a name, and the second child said that his master said that he lacked wood in the five elements, and I said why not call him Lin Sensen, wood is not more.

He said, "Master has thought about it, but there is too much wood, and if it touches the fire, it will kill me. ”

I asked again, "What did you mean when you hit that bear just now, did you say a little bit of 'a little' in your mouth, a move?" ”

He nodded: "Yes, I learned Zhengjiquan, combining the softness of Taijiquan and the fierceness of Bajiquan, all my moves have a total of twenty-four styles, if someone can really withstand my twenty-four moves, then I will be finished." ”

I said, "Hide this in your stomach, don't say it a second time in the future, how can you expose the bottom to others." ”

The second child let out an 'oh' and continued to start the storm.

However, as the saying goes, 'I'm not afraid of a thousand moves, I'm afraid of a trick of familiarity' The second child can simplify what he has learned in his life, and he is already very good.

Looking at the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Ascending Immortal Picture" on my lap at this time, Xiaoyu and I looked at each other excitedly, and didn't know what to do next for a long time. ”

Then, without waiting for us to react, he opened the cylinder from my lap and opened the painting directly with his stained hand, I held one end, and he pulled the end back, the painting was about one meter wide and five meters long, which was a masterpiece, and this painting was typical of Chinese ink painting style, all inked by a brush, and there was only one kind of content:

Countless hideous ghosts crawled into the sky, pressing one by one, one on top of the other, and in this way, the human ladder piled up by the ghosts with their bodies rushed all the way to the sky.

The rest of the place is just blank.

This painting is a bit unusual.,But that's all.,There's a lot of this kind of graffiti on the Internet.,But after really seeing this painting.,The strange thing is that I don't feel anything.,Xiaoyu too.,Not to mention the second.。

After the painting was put away, I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't figure out how the hallucination of desire that I had brought to me when I heard this painting in the first place, and I even thought about whether Qiu Daozi's old bastard had cursed me, but it shouldn't be, Senior Brother Chai said that he was also slightly affected by his mind after hearing this painting.

Xiaoyu and the others had already packed up their things and told me to go back, and I told them what I had just considered: "This painting, you can't take it with you, since it's my grandfather's, let's continue to return it to him, at least, I can't think of any safer place in the world than the military compound." ”

The second child will not have any objections, but Xiaoyu seems to be a little confused, I asked him: "What, do you have any better suggestions, it can be said, it doesn't matter, from a certain point of view, this painting is except for my grandfather, the three of us have seen it in this world, and you all have ownership." ”

Xiaoyu said, "Brother, are you really willing to give me this thing?" ”

I smiled at him, "You want him to take it now, it's not a good thing." ”

Xiaoyu suddenly stopped, looked at me and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, I've been lying to you all along." ”

I patted him and said with a smile: "You didn't lie to me about anything, you were just hiding something from me, I can feel it, this is different, that is, you really lied to me, with so many things we have experienced, do you think I am the kind of person who is better at accounting?" ”

Xiaoyu said, "Aren't you angry? ”

I said, "Why be angry, I'm not as smart as you, as long as you don't want to tell me, I will never know the answer." Although I don't know what you're hiding from me, I can feel that you don't want to harm me, my grandfather and they have always wanted to educate me as a person who will do whatever it takes to the end, don't be tied up for that senseless emotion, whether it is a person or a thing, you must give yourself full foresight and purpose before you identify it. But I just don't want to be like that, I'm that kind of casual person, I don't want to have too many expectations for the future, life is not something we can control, I'm never afraid of tomorrow, I'm only afraid that today is not good, all the people who can know you are the happiest thing for me at the moment. ”

Xiaoyu said: "Actually, the day I met you was accidental, but when I heard that you are Jiang Yixiao's descendant, even if you know the secret of this painting, you must know the secret of this painting, so I accompanied you for this, I have no friends since I was a child, everyone can't stand me, at first I thought that you would definitely be disgusted with me, so I planned to start lying to you first, and then leave after taking out the secret from you, but I found that I was very happy with you, you would not dislike me at all, and saved my life several times because of my willfulness, until when you opened the painting just now, I didn't avoid me at all, and I realized that this painting was nothing to me, but that we could take risks together was the most cherished thing. ”

I couldn't stand this sensational conversation, so I changed the subject and asked him, "You mean, you already know the secret of this painting?" ”

Xiaoyu thought for a while: "I don't know what to say, there are countless people who want to find this painting today, but if you want to say that there are definitely no more than ten people who know the most, I should be counted as one: Legend has it that during the Warring States Period, there was a down-and-out strategist who recommended himself everywhere but did not meet talents, and his family wealth was scattered and his wife was separated, which was simply worse than death." Later, the strategist's mood changed drastically overnight, and he even came up with an extreme idea to go to the wilderness and let the beast bite him to death, but in the mountains, the strategist found a strange cave, and he did not know what was in this cave, but the strategist came out later and became like a different person, and became high-spirited, and since then he has been smooth sailing in his career. not only invested in a strong country to serve as a doorman, but also made friends with various henchmen and even established himself as a king in a small area of Xinjiang, which can be described as a real carp jumping over the dragon gate. But in that era, as a small country in addition to being conscripted is to surrender the country, of course the emperor is unwilling to surrender, before being slaughtered, this emperor is just like we met the prince of Western Xia before, put all the property into the previous cave, in order to be able to recover the country again in the later stage, how do you know that there is no chance in life, this emperor's life is full of ups and downs, before he died, he painted this picture with great resentment, passed it to future generations, after countless generations of escape, The last owner of this painting is in the hands of Jiang Yixiao! ”

After listening to this, I thought about it for a long time and said to him, "There are many doubts in your story, the first is what did he find in the cave? Second, since it is roughly the same as the story of the beginning of the prince of Western Xia and the grandfather, maybe all this is actually one thing, but it has been separated by later generations. Third, and most importantly, you mean that countless people have had access to this painting, so why do we have so few rumors about it? ”

Xiaoyu nodded: "This is also what has always made me suspicious, I have never been able to solve this mystery, but I can firmly believe that the treasure map hidden in this scroll is definitely not a treasure." ”

I said, "That may really be as Senior Brother Chai said, just a secret, a secret that one person can surprise all of us." ”

Xiaoyu: "Now there is only one person in this world who can provide clues." ”

I sighed and didn't reply to him, thinking to myself that it seemed that my grandfather had to contact him this time. But the moment Xiaoyu and I chatted just now, I seemed to figure out a little more, why we didn't have that psychedelic feeling after seeing this painting, I think it's just two words:

Put it down.

The second child has never been born, it can be said that he has no desire and no desire, Xiaoyu will naturally not be trapped if he finds something more cherished than desire, and I, I don't know what the fuck I should want.

In just a few days, I have passed by the Grim Reaper several times, and now I feel that everything is empty.

Although there was a bit of a delay in meeting the second child halfway, the three of us still rushed to the town before dark, and I arranged the second child to a clothing store in the town, and asked the boss to match him with a suit, and repeatedly told him that he must not listen to the second child's opinion, and the boss himself can call the shots.

And when Xiaoyu and I returned to the protection station, the guards were really strengthened, and the police were directly upgraded to six, as for the interrogation at the same time, we just said that we were attacked by wolves, and we have been crossing the no-man's land, because they are all travel friends, so it is not a problem to come out.

In addition, my family background and household registration system can be clear, and naturally I was released very innocently, and Xiaoyu I also heard him say when the police questioned him, the family is engaged in real estate, five-star hotel business, assets of tens of billions, in Shenzhen can also be said to be a rich family.

After coming out of the protection station, we found a three-person room in a small hotel, and bought a second-hand spring car from the innkeeper for 300 yuan, so we let the second child ride first, and waited until Lhasa was matching him with a professional riding suit.

The important thing is his identity, and I'm a little difficult to do this, but Xiaoyu said to hand it over to him, and I won't care, after all, money can make ghosts grind.

Lying on the bed at night and turning on my side and unable to sleep, I thought about whether to call home first, or ask my mother, but after thinking about it, I decided to send her a message and tell her: The apprentice of one of the guards before my grandfather entrusted me with a painting, which was my grandfather's, and there were some secrets hidden in it, I wanted to ask him, but I was afraid that he wouldn't tell me, so you can help me ask.

About an hour later, my mother replied to me: You should send the painting home first, grandpa said, and he will tell you in person when you get home one day.

No matter what you say, at least my grandfather knows the secret of this painting, and my mother said that sending it home is the same as my thoughts, carrying that thing without saying that it is inconvenient, and it is easy to attract death, so it is better to avoid it.
