As soon as he saw the old woman Bai Laogou, he couldn't find the north, and he was so excited that he didn't care about unloading the things in the car, so he got out of the car in a hurry, jumped off the road and ran towards the hillside.

I first found a place to park the car, and then cleaned up the miscellaneous things in the car, and it happened that there was a bag of hemp on the white dog cart that I didn't know what to do, so I put all these things into the sack and carried the sack down the road.

Don't look at the old white dog's age, but he is not slow at all, I just walked to the foot of the mountain, he has still reached the mountainside, and the ancient mother-in-law has converged.

The old white dog leaned next to Granny Gu, dancing and talking, Granny Gu's mind was not on him, she just smiled at me from afar and waved at me.

I came to Granny Gu with a sack, and Granny Gu asked me with a smile, "Have you found Qi Gu?" ”

"Qi Gu was trampled to death by me, that kind of thing is always a scourge, and it can't be stayed," as I said, I looked around, and I really didn't see anyone else, so I asked Granny Gu: "What about the two dogs?" ”

"Guarding over there in Yangzhai, there are still some things to deal with later, they stay there and cooperate with the organization."

I nodded: "Yes, the underground fortifications may have collapsed, plus there are still people engaged in tourism development over there, so there are indeed a lot of things to do next." What about the little gold? ”

When Bai Laogou said that the Jin family had no descendants just now, I had been thinking about Xiao Jinzi, if this child was not a descendant of the Jin family, who would it be?

"Yuzhong is very close to this child, with him looking at the little gold, you can rest assured." As she spoke, Granny Gu took out a reddish-brown wooden pendant from her pocket: "This is found from Xiaojinzi." ”

I took the wooden pendant and looked at it, this thing is a bit old, the surface of the pulp is almost polished, the texture of the wood is exposed, there is a fragrance of the Ming Dynasty on it, but it is also mixed with the light fragrance of ten years ago.

The pendant is supposed to be a product of the Ming Dynasty, but ten years ago, someone modified it and added something to it.

Granny Gu said, "Take a closer look at the left edge of the pendant. ”

I don't need to be reminded by Granny Gu, I have already seen a zigzag pattern on the left side of the pendant, which seems to be an inlay with an inner anchor structure, which can be opened, but it takes a bit of effort.

"Huaishan and I tried to open it, but it didn't work after several attempts, Huaishan said that you are an expert in this area, let me show you this thing."

I pouted: "It can be opened, but it's a bit troublesome." It would be nice to have a table right now, and I'll have to fiddle with it with tools. ”

Granny Gu beckoned to me: "I have an old friend here, let's go to his house and sit down." ”

As soon as he heard the words "old friend", the white old dog immediately felt like a great enemy: "Why hasn't Fuba died yet?" ”

Granny Gu glared at him: "How can you speak!" ”

The old white dog pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly.

The first time I heard Bai Laogou mention the name "Fuba", to be honest, I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, I didn't have much intersection with the old-timers in the industry, especially the predecessors of the Miaojiang Dongtu generation, most of whom I didn't know.

It was also later that I learned that Fuba cannot be regarded as a name, but a special title similar to a nickname, this person called "Fuba" by the white old dog, is the local old secretary, and ordinary people see him, but to respectfully call the old priest of Fuba, I don't know what the white old dog has with others, so I have to omit the word old si.

That day, when Granny Gu took us to the village, Fuba Laosi took a few students to wander around, but we were not lucky enough to meet the real person, and it was his son who received us.

Granny Gu and the family of Fuba Laosi are very familiar, and they don't say much polite words to each other, she explained our intentions, and Fuba Laosi's son found us a quiet bamboo building, let them take care of themselves, and just tell him when they are gone.

Probably also because of fate, after 2010, I was not only fortunate to meet this old boss of Fuba, at the end of that year, Lao Zuo and I were trapped in Guiyin Mountain and almost died, but it was also thanks to the old boss of Fuba that I was able to get out of danger. Of course, that's all for later.

As soon as I entered the bamboo building, I first found a room to change into a warm suit, the white old dog and the ancient mother-in-law Zhang Luo cooked, I saw that the time was still early, so I found a bed, first sleep well, when to wake up, and then go to study the wooden pendant of the little gold.

The inner anchor inlay is a kind of mechanism structure recorded in the "Book of Luban", the biggest feature of this structure is that it is complex and precise, and it must be extremely careful when opening, as long as one is not careful, not only can not open the inlay, but the things sealed in the inlay may also be destroyed.

I haven't closed my eyes for two days in a row, although my physical strength is still there, but I am indeed a little lacking, I really can't do such a delicate work, so let's take care of my spirit first.

When I woke up, it was already night, the light in the bamboo building was already poor, and it was already dark at this time, and it was almost black, although the right eye could not see anything, but in the field of vision of the left eye, I found a person sitting next to the bed.

The guy sat like a statue, not moving, and I suddenly became alert, and quietly flipped my wrist and touched the Netherworld Treasure under the pillow.

"Are you awake?"

The person sitting on the edge of the bed suddenly spoke, and as soon as I heard Lin'er's voice, the stone in my chest only fell halfway.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?" I grabbed the Nether Treasure in my hand and sat up slowly.

Lin'er turned on the light, the room was bright, and today she changed into casual clothes, without the mystery unique to the Miao Jiang girl, but with more affinity.

There was a meal on the small table next to the bed, and there were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, it seemed that she was planning to eat with me, and she didn't turn on the light just now, probably for fear of waking me up.

I happened to be hungry too, so I moved to the side of the bed and grabbed my chopsticks to eat.

Lin'er didn't move her chopsticks, just sat on the side and looked at me, I asked her why she didn't eat, she smiled, and asked me why I gobble up every time I eat, as if I had never eaten.

I swallowed what was in my mouth, smiled and said, "Last year in Daliang Mountain, Ergou and I were almost starved to death in the cave. Why don't you eat it? ”

"I'm not hungry."

"If you're not hungry, you have to eat something, after this meal, it's not certain whether you can eat the next meal."

Lin'er picked up the chopsticks at this time, but she was not in the mood to eat, so she occasionally sandwiched two vegetable leaves, and most of the time she just watched me eat.

I think this girl has something to say to me, but she doesn't speak, and I'm too embarrassed to ask.

After eating a meal, Lin'er still didn't make a sound, and I couldn't guess what she was thinking about.

After eating, I asked Granny Gu for three silver needles, found a table, and began to fiddle with the wooden pendant of the little gold.

Two to three "yin and yang anchors" are generally designed in the inner anchor inlay, which is a kind of anchor that can rotate, and it is also the lock latch in the inlay, the anchor is turned forward is open, and the reverse is closed, the anchor is generally very sharp, and the bottom is hidden with a pressure spring, if the inlay is forcibly broken, the pressure spring will be launched, and the sharp anchor will be ejected, and the things hidden in the inlay will be cut off directly, and some anchors also have oil stone powder, which is a special phosphorus powder that can catch fire as long as it is gently rubbed, once the anchor is ejected out, When the oil stone powder rubs against the ignition device inside the Karakuri, the Karakuri will catch fire instantly, and by the time you open the inlay, the contents will already be burned to ashes.

I gently inserted the tip of the silver needle into the gap in the inlay, then tried to stir the tip of the needle, and as soon as I felt the elastic touch, I stopped and plunged the second silver needle in.

There were only two pieces of anchor in the pendant, and when I found them, I carefully pressed the tail of the needle and turned the pieces little by little.

The two anchors must be rotated at the same time, and if one is rotated, the anchors that are not rotated will still be launched.

When the anchor was turned half a circle clockwise, the inlay was finally opened with two soft clicks and clicks.

There is a cavity inside the wooden pendant, which is stuffed with paste-like yellow grease, which is used as a pressure spring to press on the bottom of the anchor piece, and are two cowhide bands the size of rice grains, which have been specially treated and have very strong elasticity and toughness. The smell of oil stone powder can indeed be smelled on the anchors.

I leaned up my nose and sniffed it, and I could smell a smell of chrysanthemum mixed with gunpowder powder, and then I used a silver needle to pick at the grease inside, because it had evaporated over the years, and there were already semi-gelatinous particles in the grease, but it was still very soft, and when the tip of the needle crossed it, there was hardly much resistance.

If you guess correctly, these greases should be extracted from the red fire turtle, this grease is extremely flammable, if the anchor piece is ejected just now, not to mention the things in the wooden pendant, even the entire wooden pendant, will be shrouded in fire in an instant.

The oil extracted from the red fire turtle is a good thing, and I have to find a box to collect all this oil when I go back.

During this time, the needle touched something hard, and I twisted the end of the needle to pick it out.

It was a rolled up piece of rhinoceros skin, carefully polished inside and out, leaving only the thinnest layer in the middle, and sealed with the grease of the red fire turtle, which would not rot even after another thousand years.

The wooden pendant is not valuable, but the contents are really valuable.

The old white dog urged me on the side: "Expand it and take a look!" ”

Only then did I collect my greed, and carefully unfolded the rhinoceros skin, and saw two lines of boys written inside: "Inverted Niukou Cliff, Eight Town Dragon Boxes." ”

Ten traditional characters, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful.

Seeing these two lines, everyone present was stunned.

What do you mean?

I took out a searchlight from my backpack and carefully lit it on the leather surface, originally wanting to see if there were any dark words, but after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything unusual, and there were only these two lines of inexplicable text on it.

At this time, Granny Gu spoke: "I heard Xiao Jinzi say that this wooden pendant was given to him by He Jiayun before he left Yangzhai. ”
