"What do you mean?" I said uneasily.

Hongli smiled and said: "I don't know, I have rarely asked about the second master's affairs, that day I heard him drunk and lying on the table when I was cleaning up the table for him, maybe he was saved by your grandfather, who knows, it's good for you, it's not worth a few dollars to strip off and wash your body, what do you want to do so much." ”

I squeezed a smile from my face helplessly, picked up the empty cup and took a full sip, only to feel a hot liquid stretching from my throat to my stomach, and then when the sensation disappeared, the whole mouth was unconscious.

"Drink, when you're drunk, you forget everything, and you won't think about anything."

The two of them stopped talking, and each went to and from cup to cup, and soon swept away the wine on the table.

When I returned to Changshengdang, I walked a little fluttering, stumbled open the door of the store, and saw that the lights in the room were on, and Sister Yu leaned on the table and raised her eyebrows, as if she was looking at something.

"Sister Yu, you're awake."

After entering the house, I closed the door and greeted Sister Yu, but I couldn't help but burp, and a strong and pungent smell of alcohol instantly filled the room.

Sister Yu frowned when she saw me like this, and said in a complaining tone: "I've learned to drink." ”

I touched my nose and didn't dare to pick up the stubble, and when I walked to Sister Yu's side, I found that there was an old piece of straw paper spread out on the table in front of her.

On the papyrus paper, a giant dragon across the north and south is drawn with a black brush, and the painting skills of the person who painted the dragon are very profound, as if a complete dragon-shaped pattern was sketched with only one stroke, the dragon stretched its body, the dragon's head and body, the dragon's tail and dragon claws, lifelike, vivid.

It's just that on the spine of this black dragon, I don't know whether the painter has the intention or the descendants are unintentional, a few abrupt black dots are printed on it, as if they were added after the painting, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Sister Yu, what are you looking at?"

I saw that Sister Yu kept her head down and her eyes fell on the straw paper, her expression was thoughtful, and I couldn't help but be curious.

"Can you tell anything about this?" Sister Yu raised her head and asked.

When I heard this, I glanced at it carefully, frowned, and said, "I can't see it, who drew this?" ”

"The person who painted it is long dead."

Sister Yu sighed and looked at me and said, "Don't you have any impression of this dragon?" ”

I shook my head, "I'm not impressed, it's dark, you can see anything." ”

"Drinking is a mistake.

Sister Yu glared at me and said, "This is the map of the Yellow River, you still grew up on the edge of the Yellow River, and you are not afraid of being embarrassed when you say it." ”

"Yellow River map? No way? ”

I lay on the table and widened my eyes, looked at the black dragon boy carefully, and still shook my head and said: "No, the Yellow River originates in Qinghai, from the plateau to the basin, and then from the desert to the plain, all the way to most of China, many places have intersections, even if it is like a dragon, it is also a coiled dragon, but the dragon on this is a bit straight." ”

Sister Yu didn't refute after hearing this, but nodded and said: "When Mrs. Huo just sent this piece of straw paper, she said that this is the Yellow River map, and I don't believe it, but she said that this is what the eighth master exchanged for half a life in the Yellow River back then, and she also said that this is the Yellow River map, and you look at this." ”

Sister Yu said and pointed at the claws of the black dragon and said: "Legend has it that the dragon has four claws, but this black dragon has six claws, and the shape of these claws is not exactly the same. ”

I looked in the direction of Sister Yu's finger, and found that these claws were also outlined in black ink, which at first glance looked like the dragon claws I had seen on TV or in pictures, but on closer inspection, they looked a bit like the outline of the city that appeared in middle school history books.

The four sharp claws and teeth resemble the square corner towers of the city wall, and the back of the claws in the middle is combined with the raised part, which looks like an ancient city.

And I also found that in the position on the right side of the black dragon's front paw, it seems that someone deliberately made a mark on it with a fingernail, I looked up at Sister Yu, Sister Yu shook her head, "When Mrs. Huo got this picture, this trace already existed, and this place is likely to be the place where the eighth master has been there at that time, or has always wanted to go." ”

"So as long as you find the location of this dragon claw, it is very likely that you will find the eighth master?" I was surprised.

Sister Yu nodded, "It's not impossible, judging from the location where the Eighth Master's soul-attracting incense was found and the current map of the Yellow River Basin, both belong to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, so as long as you find the place where the dragon's claw is, you will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of the Eighth Master." ”

"And just now I also studied with Mrs. Huo, since the person who draws the dragon can draw the Yellow River Dragon with one stroke, then many of the seemingly unusual places must have different symbolic meanings, since the shape of these six dragon claws is like a city, then that is to say, the place that this dragon claw points to should be Rakshasa City!"

I looked at Sister Yu incredulously, my brain was still a little confused, and I couldn't help but secretly curse myself for running to drink with the red carp, licked my lips and said, "Where did the eighth master's soul-attracting incense be found?" ”

Sister Yu squinted her eyes and said lightly: "Luoyang." ”

"Luoyang? So close to my home? I was taken aback.

But Sister Yu ignored my words and continued: "The location of the soul-attracting incense can only show that the eighth master has appeared there, and it does not prove that people are still in the same place now, so you must be prepared to cast nets in a large area and fish in a small area." ”

"Me?"

I pointed to my nose and said, "Sister Yu, aren't you going?" ”

Sister Yu sighed lonely, "With my current state of body, I'm afraid I have the heart and I can't do it." ”

I looked at Sister Yu with a tired look on her face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's time for me, the young owner, to show my skills, and besides, it's just looking for the whereabouts of the eighth master, maybe before I arrive, the eighth master will come back by himself." ”

Sister Yu looked at me and shook her head, and said: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Rakshasa City is a place where the living are taboo, the dead are avoided, and countless souls who died in the water are imprisoned inside. ”

Seeing that my mind was exposed, I scratched my head and said, "I know, I will mainly inquire about the news, and I will never act without authorization, and this time there is a red carp with me, as long as I don't enter Rakshasa City, it is estimated that it is not a big deal." ”

Sister Yu snorted and said, "The second master has already greeted me, saying that this time the red carp went to be related to her life experience, and I didn't say much else, and you just keep this in your heart, don't say it, let alone mention it to her face." ”

What is the background of the red carp?

I sighed, no wonder she drank like that ghost today, it seems that I am not the only poor person in this world, even people like red carp hide the mystery of their life experience, maybe she doesn't even know who her biological parents are, I seem to be a little better than her.

"You take this picture, go over there and see if you can find any clues from it, remember, if there is any news, call me to discuss it as soon as possible, don't act without permission."

Sister Yu patted me on the shoulder and said, "Rest, the next few days are estimated to have to endure some hardships, and only when you have enough spirit can you have the strength to work." ”

I nodded, and after helping Sister Yu upstairs to rest, although my brain was active in the hall, I couldn't help but fall asleep in a daze after drinking so much for the first time.

I had many dreams that night, and I had my grandfather, my father, and my mother.

I thought that this time was the same as the last time, I couldn't get close to them, but when I rushed towards them with joy, I suddenly plunged into my grandfather's arms, and the familiar smell of tobacco emanating from my grandfather's body made my eyes moisten, and when I raised my head, I saw my grandfather touching my head dotingly and said: "Second baby, go to school and live hard, every generation has the responsibility of every generation, the reason why I and your father do this is also a last resort, don't come back, when will I give birth to a grandson, I went to the edge of the Yellow River to burn paper and chatter, and I could hear it. ”

My father and mother just stood and looked at me with a smile, but as they laughed and laughed, sand began to flow out of their nostrils and ears. ()
