Chapter 74: Team
Lao Lu once told me that only the ancient mask formed by the four fragments can be called the real jade of the living dead. At that time, when I heard Lao Lu's words, the scene in my heart was probably similar to that of Dragon Ball, as long as I got all seven, I would be able to summon the Divine Dragon.
Dragon Ball summoned a divine dragon, so according to this, it is estimated that most of the people summoned by the Jade of the Living Dead are "living dead". But fortunately, I didn't tell Zhou Boren about this idea of touching IQ, otherwise I estimate that I, Mo Laosan, might be the first member in history to be expelled from the Institute of Unsolved Mysteries.
But now it seems that my wish to summon the "living dead" is about to fail, because this thing is not what I imagined it to be. Zhou Boren handed me the test sheet, I took the list, wanting to see what was written on it, and the pudding also came over to look at it with me. But the two of us with bulging brains looked at it for a long time, but the more we looked down, the more confused we became. Because the words recorded in the Jade of the Living Dead are all ancient characters, we can't understand any of them at all.
I asked Zhou Boren, "Can you understand?" ”
Zhou Boren smiled slightly, shook his head, and then said in a low voice: "If my guess is correct, this should be the ancient character of "Elephantless Country", this kind of character is now only one person in China can understand it......"
It dawned on me, "Old man! ”
Zhou Boren nodded: "That's right, when the ancient ruins of Wuxiang Country were discovered, the text translation work was the old man's responsibility, it is said that he was the palm of Nanjing Lingbao Zhai in his early years, and the antique artifact in his hand can be described as a car bucket, and he will copy a copy whenever he encounters an old object with ancient characters, and when there is nothing to do, he will take it out and study it carefully." Therefore, as far as the translation of ancient Chinese characters is concerned, if he is called second, I am afraid that no one dares to call himself first. ”
I told Zhou Boren that I had agreed with the old man to meet in Qinhuangdao in three days, and I went to find him just to ask him to go out of the mountain to help. As Lao Lu said, without him, none of us can find the living dead jade.
Tomorrow is the time I agreed with the old man. Therefore, Zhou Boren immediately decided to transfer a few elite soldiers and strong generals from the institute, so the stakes were very high, and he decided to personally lead the team to form a task force of "Jade of the Living Dead". So Uncle Lao Yang handed over a list of the members of the institute to Zhou Boren, and the first person he chose was the beauty under the old locust tree: Gu Nianxia.
To be honest, this may be the first time in my life that I have heard the name of "beauty" but I can't raise my motivation. I don't understand why Zhou Boren asked him to join, what can his little arms and legs be for? In other words, he was left by his side as a vase, just to look good, but it didn't taste like that.
I admit that although Gu Nianxia's face is beautiful, in the final analysis, it is a man's body, and the things in the crotch may be bigger than mine. You old driver is not kind......
Of course, I'm just joking when I say this, whether it's a girl or a man, you know that she is a good person at a glance. However, I have to complain a few words about the next person selected by Zhou Boren, because in addition to Gu Nianxia, he also chose a man nicknamed "Er Biao", this person's name is Feng Debiao, and from the photo, he looks like a social gangster.
The biggest headache in my life with Pudding is this one, but whenever I meet it, I will stay away. Coupled with the name of this master that exudes a strong local flavor, although I haven't met Pudding and I yet, my impression of him is extremely bad. All that came to mind was a floral shirt, trousers, beanie shoes, and large gold chains. If it weren't for the fact that he was also a member of the institute, I even suspected that this Feng Debiao was probably the kind of person who took a live earthworm in Kuaishou and drank it all, and shouted "Lao Tie 666" after drinking. But Uncle Lao Yang on the side smiled when he heard Er Biao's name, and he didn't know what he was happy about. Of course, I'm not interested in asking.
The sky outside the window quietly darkened over time, Zhou Boren looked at his watch, and said: "Uncle Lao Yang, inform Er Biao and Nian Xia, go to the No. 2 restaurant in half an hour to meet, the members of the task force will have a meal tonight, and let them get to know each other first, tomorrow our team will leave to Qinhuangdao to meet that old man, and the family affairs will be handed over to you Uncle Lao Yang, during this time, let the other members of the institute go according to everything." ”
After Zhou Boren said this, according to the characteristics of Uncle Lao Yang's vigorous and resolute behavior, he would inevitably turn around and leave, and convey the words just explained by Zhou Boren to the following members as quickly as possible. But this time he didn't move, but stood there with a swaying face, as if he had something to say. Zhou Boren naturally saw that Uncle Lao Yang was wrong, so he asked him, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Uncle Lao Yang said: "Mr. Zhou, the old man has a reluctant request, I don't know if I should talk about it......
Zhou Boren said in a low voice: "Please speak." ”
Uncle Lao Yang took a deep breath and plucked up his courage to say: "Back then, the matter of picking up the tomb of the stars in Gaobeidian is still haunted by the old man, and he blames himself day and night. And I was demoted to ......"
Speaking of this, the always gentle and elegant old Uncle Yang showed a hideous look in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Please Mr. Zhou give me a chance to see with my own eyes who this old man is sacred." ”
Zhou Boren lit a cigarette, pondered quietly for a moment, raised his head, looked at Uncle Yang's almost pleading eyes, and after he sighed lightly, he finally spoke: "Okay! ”
From the point of view of me and the pudding, we like the gentleman Uncle Yang very much, he is very interesting, always polite to speak, although the addition of the turtle Feng Debiao makes us a little unhappy, but now Uncle Lao Yang has also joined, which is equivalent to two catties of radish for a catty of rice, my mood with the pudding naturally turned from cloudy to sunny, and I was overjoyed.
In this way, the lineup of the "Jade of the Living Dead" task force has been determined.
Team leader Zhou Boren.
The five team members are: I Mo Laosan, Pudding, Gu Nianxia, Feng Debiao, and Uncle Lao Yang.
Our first mission is to go to Qinhuangdao and meet that mysterious strange man: the old man!
……
……
Because the action team was temporarily formed this time, Zhou Boren specially arranged an "internal dinner" in the evening, the intention may be to increase team cohesion, or maybe it is for something else, anyway, I don't care about the pudding, what do you like, we only care about what we eat at night, it is best to roast a big kidney or burst the belly, come to Beijing, hey...... That's all there is to it.
Because there was still half an hour before dinner, Uncle Zhou asked Uncle Lao Yang to take me and Pudding to see our "new home". Not to mention, the Unsolved Mysteries Institute is really wealthy, and even newcomers like me and Pudding, who don't know anything, arranged a very good place for us to live, clean and tidy, and the key layout is quite tasteful.
I put my luggage in the cabinet, looked at the beautiful room and was in a good mood, so I lazily lay down on the bed, thinking that this time I really touched the jackpot, everything good things have hit me, the road ahead is really fucking bright, I can laugh out loud when I think about it.
But after staying for a long time, I slowly realized that the Institute of Unsolved Mysteries is not heaven at all, but a place more terrible than hell. The people here were originally orphans, the product of careful selection, and many of them had not seen the outside world for thirty or fifty years, and they would not have been able to get out of here without a special opportunity. I think the reason for this is to keep it secret. As for the unbelievable things that happened one after another, including the shocking truth hidden in the jade of the living dead, listen to me slowly......
