Chapter 73: Secret Arts

When Zhou Boren said this, he thoughtfully lit a cigarette, and the cold eyes behind the smoke were deep and terrifying. After a long time, he slowly said in a low voice: "Mr. Mo, Miss Wang, I am very moved after listening to your story. But have you ever thought about it, with the strength of the two of you, can you really find the other three pieces of living dead jade? Even if you complete this impossible task in your lifetime, by that time, Lao Lu's little granddaughter will probably be dead for a long time, and leukemia will not leave her much time...... If you want to save her, you have to race against time. ”

I frowned and said, "What is Mr. Zhou's opinion?" ”

Zhou Boren said: "The current situation is that we, you, plus the old man, the three groups of people have no leader, and the fish and dragons are mixed. Rather than fighting openly and secretly, I think it is better to form an alliance here. ”

After that, he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and slowly stood up, the man under the black cloak was domineering, and the cold eyes like a wolf made me shudder. But he stretched out a hand and said in a sonorous voice: "I, Zhou Boren, hereby formally invite the two of you to join the Unsolved Mysteries Research Institute. ”

When Pudding and I heard this, we couldn't help but be surprised, but we were also happy. We both looked at each other, and she nodded to me saying "yes".

I understand what she means, as Zhou Boren said, the other three pieces of living dead jade will never be found with the ability of me and Pudding, even if it takes ten or eight years to really find all of them, the daylily will already be cold. Therefore, if you want to fulfill Lao Lu's last wish, you must have the help of a master, and the Unsolved Mysteries Research Institute is undoubtedly the most powerful existence, there is no doubt about this.

Since the other party took the initiative to invite us, it would not be good to play again, so I no longer hesitated and expressed my willingness to join, but Zhou Boren must promise me one thing, that is, once we find the other three pieces, we must first save the life of Lao Lu's little granddaughter, and after saving her, I will complete Lao Lu's last wish. From now on, the living dead Jade loves nothing, and it has nothing to do with me.

Zhou Boren naturally agreed to my small request, and he said that now no one knows whether the kind of "eternal life" that is not born or dead produced after the living dead jade is gathered can only be used once, or can be used indefinitely. But he said that even if he could only use it once, he promised me that he would definitely use it on Lao Lu's little granddaughter to help me complete my mission.

I was greatly moved when I heard this, and thought to myself that although this man looked cold, he was a good person in his bones. So I also expressed to Zhou Boren that I am willing to hand over the piece of living dead jade in my hand to the Unsolved Mysteries Research Institute for safekeeping, which can be regarded as a "meeting gift" that Pudding and I gave him to Zhou Boren.

The three of them hit it off and couldn't help but shake each other's hands.

After negotiating with Zhou Boren, I called the "old housekeeper" Uncle Yang, wrote down an address with a note and handed it to him, telling him that this was the hotel where I was staying, and instructed him to quickly go and get my luggage back, and the living dead jade was placed in the luggage, and it must be brought back to the house safely. Uncle Yang is a reliable person at first glance, and we can rest assured that he does things.

Sure enough, although Uncle Yang was old, he was resolute in his work, and in less than an hour, he retrieved the suitcase I had put in the hotel. Actually, my original intention was that he just needed to get the living dead jade back from the box, and he didn't have to worry about the other things, and it was okay if the luggage was messed up, and I would just clean it up again when I went back at night.

Uncle Keyang is an old gentleman in his bones, very polite, so he didn't turn over my suitcase, but brought it back with the living dead jade, although I couldn't help but smile bitterly, but also a warm heart, not to mention, dealing with this kind of high-quality people is comfortable, I Mo Laosan really want to learn from others.

So in front of Uncle Zhou and Uncle Yang, I opened the suitcase by myself, took out the jade of the living dead from it, and handed it to Uncle Zhou. Zhou Boren carefully took the jade of the living dead, looked at this black thing and couldn't help frowning, and looked left and right for a long time without seeing what it was, so he asked me: "What is this?" ”

I smiled slightly, so I took back the living dead jade from Zhou Boren's hand, and then gently put it on my left face, only to see that this piece of stone that was not square and round was completely consistent with my left face, Zhou Boren was surprised: "Hehe, I didn't expect the so-called living dead jade to be an ancient mask, interesting." ”

The living dead jade is the rarest thing in the world, so that even Uncle Yang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be curious, so he politely asked me if I could show him the living dead jade, I nodded, handed the thing to him, he took it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and was amazed while looking at it.

Zhou Boren asked him: "Uncle Yang, can you see what the material is?" ”

Uncle Lao Yang said, "I can't see it." ”

Zhou Boren said: "Take it for testing, and give me the result within half an hour." ”

Uncle Lao Yang nodded and said, "Ten minutes is enough." ”

With that, Uncle Lao Yang turned around and left.

Ten minutes later, Uncle Lao Yang came back in a hurry, in addition to the living dead jade in his hand, there was also an additional test sheet, and after handing the list to Zhou Boren, he hurriedly said to us: "There are words in this mask!" ”

Pudding and I were shocked when we heard this: "There are words? No way? I've looked at this living dead jade carefully several times, it's a bare stone flake, where did the words come from? ”

Uncle Lao Yang said: "You don't know, since the Three Kingdoms period, the ancients will use secret medicine to prepare ink, with this ink to write the war report secret letter, like a wordless book in the sky, empty word, if you want to see the text, you must use the corresponding secret medicine to soak the letter, in order to peek into the content, this is the oldest encryption method in Chinese history, with this way to exchange letters, even if it is robbed halfway, not afraid of leaking the news." ”

I was amazed at what the pudding heard, and then Uncle Yang continued: "There is a national treasure ancient painting in China, called "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", outsiders have never understood why Huang Gongwang's seemingly ordinary landscape painting is a sky-high price, because when they look at it in the museum, it is daytime, but they don't know that only at night, can they really see the wonder of that divine painting! ”

I exclaimed, "What's so wonderful? ”

Uncle Lao Yang said with a smile: "When the picture of Fuchun Mountain Residence arrives at night, the thatched houses in the forest painted in the picture are brightly lit!" It's like a living person living in a painting! Strange or not? In fact, we later learned that the ink used by Huang Gongwang to paint this painting was made with a special secret medicine, which was mixed with a substance similar to phosphor, so that the painting could present two different scenes in light and without light. The living dead jade is the same as it, if there is no secret medicine, it is impossible for outsiders to see the words hidden on it, but now that technology is developed, even if there is no secret medicine, we can also see these mysterious ancient characters through light transmission technology. ”

I anxiously asked, "What is written on the jade of the living dead?" ”
