preface

In the second year of the Yuanfeng of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Kuibing, the assassin of Yizhou, to the Dian Kingdom, and the King of Dian surrendered the whole country and invited the officials to enter the court. Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the king of Yunnan a golden seal of snake buttons, so that he could regain his people.

In the third year of Yuan Feng, the king of Dian suddenly died, and his protector general has disappeared since then.

At the end of the same year, Li Kui, the assassin of Yizhou, died violently; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the Western Han warlock Li Shaojun to supervise the construction of an underground palace for Li Kui to show his merits.

Decades later, Li Shaojun said goodbye without saying goodbye, and everyone in the world thought that he had become an immortal. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty regretted it and devoted all his efforts to find the book of heaven left by him, but to no avail.

According to legend, that book of heaven records the secret art of immortality.

……

No matter the change of dynasties or the change of hands, the world's pursuit of the secret art of immortality has never stopped. At the end of the twentieth century, a mysterious organization was quietly established, and people from all walks of life once again set off a craze to find the Book of Heaven. Those secrets that have been sealed for more than 2,000 years will eventually reappear in the world.

The storm rose again, and I, unknowingly, was swept into this whirlpool. All this seems to be fate.

body

"Run!" The black bull roared angrily, and with me desperately entered the tomb from under the thousand-pound bronze gate.

It was pitch black in the burial chamber, and we ran forward dozens of steps without any sense of direction, when suddenly, my ankle hurt, and I didn't know what was choking with something, and I fell to the ground. The injured arm was completely dislocated this time, and the pain was so painful that I only broke out in a cold sweat when I knelt on the ground, and I didn't even have the strength to scold my mother.

The Black Bull turned on the tactical spotlight above his head and found an arm-thick bronze lamppost on the ground. After this pause, we noticed that the heart-rending sound in the tomb had disappeared, and the monster had turned around and left.

Hei Niu's physical strength had reached the limit, he threw Gu Yixin aside, sat on the ground with his ass, and said loudly: "Damn, this little life of the master has finally been saved!" After returning to Beijing, Lao Tzu had to go to the Lama Temple to burn his mother's 10,000 yuan of incense to reward the gods. ”

"It's a question of whether you can go out or not, and I'll go back to Beijing." As I spoke, I spit out the blood in my mouth and crawled forward to check Gu Yixin's injury. Fortunately, she still has a snort, but it is faintly worrying.

It was pitch black all around, only the tactical spotlights on the black bull's helmet were barely lit, and the cold air came from all around, and this sense of oppression from the darkness made us feel that we were extremely small.

I bit the lid of the kettle with my teeth, tilted my head and poured saliva into my mouth, and before I could swallow it, suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps behind me, which was very soft, but it was particularly harsh in the silence and emptiness of the ancient tomb. It's like someone walking on a bluestone floor, unhurried, from far to near.

I heard that my scalp exploded, my hairs stood up, I swallowed the water in my mouth hard, and asked the black cow in a low voice: "Is there anyone else in the tomb?" ”

The Black Bull apparently heard the voices coming from the depths of the burial chamber as well, and his whole body froze, his face unable to tell whether it was fear or anger.

The sound of real footsteps suddenly stopped more than ten meters away from us. I was on high alert, and put my hand into my satchel to touch the wolf smoke flashlight, but I didn't touch it for a long time, and I was afraid that I would lose it when I ran for my life.

When he was in a hurry, he suddenly saw the black bull fly up and turn around, threw the machete in his hand out, and roared angrily: "Fuck your uncle!" ”

The machete slammed into the metal object in the darkness, stirring up a string of sparks, and then fell to the ground with a thud, seemingly missing its target.

In the black bull's technique, if the sound just now was made by a person or an animal, his move would be enough to kill him, but now he pounced in the air, and the sound was afraid that there was something else strange.

When the black bull saw that he had missed, his heart suddenly had no bottom, and he said: "Well, it's weird, there are times when the shooting expert misses the target?" Lao Su, I'll go over and take a look, if the situation is not right, I'll shout, and you will run quickly. ”

Without waiting for me to agree, Hei Niu reached out and pulled out the paratrooper knife on Gu Yixin's waist, held it in his hand, and walked in the direction where he had just made a sound.

I grabbed the pickaxe around my waist and held my breath as I stared wide-eyed. I thought to myself, if there is a situation ahead, I will have to rush to help.

People are tired and frightened to the extreme, as long as the tense nerves are not loosened, no matter how tired they are, they will not collapse. When there was only a small bright spot left in the searchlight, the black bull suddenly stopped, took off the searchlight and shone left and right, and shouted excitedly: "Lao Su, come here!" We're going to get a fucking rich! ”

Seeing that there was no danger, I took out the wolf-eye flashlight in Gu Yixin's satchel and ran over quickly. I saw that the floor in the center of the burial chamber had become bronze, and the lines on it were uneven. On the bronze ground lay a huge rectangular jade, white as mutton fat, warm and clear, flawless, the size of a small truck. Kneeling in front of the jade is a gold palace figure, life-size, facing the direction of the jade holding a tray and raising it above his head. There are two bunches of grapes carved from ice green jade, the grapes are as if they have just been washed, crystal clear, as if you can still see the flesh fibers, each full of mouthwatering.

"Old Su, how much do you think this grape is worth? The two of us can divide it in a string. As he spoke, the black bull reached out to take the jade grapes on his plate.

I quickly stopped him and said, "The situation in this tomb is still unclear, don't move anything rashly, and besides, have you forgotten that voice just now?" ”

Without waiting for the black bull to command, I consciously took out a firework from my backpack, lit it and threw it into the air, and the entire tomb was instantly illuminated.

At the same time, we were shocked by the scene in front of us: the entire burial chamber was five or six thousand square meters, dozens of meters high, and was naturally made like a coffin. The center of the burial chamber is cast into an irregular shape with bronze, and the floor is concave or convex, and there is no pattern to be seen.

The huge jade block was placed in the center of the bronze floor.

There are 12 Han-style gold figurines kneeling around the giant jade block, their clothes are different, the shape is different, but they all face the giant jade block to offer food, musical instruments, bamboo slips, weapons and other items, and the objects offered are carved from various colors of jade, exquisite and realistic.

Hei Niu's eyes straightened, swallowed his saliva and said: "My good man, we came to the treasure cave by mistake, since I saw it, Master Niu, I am not welcome, and I will confiscate them all." ”

With that, he poured out all the contents of his backpack and reached for the jade grapes in the gold figurines plate.

I took the black bull's hand and said, "This is not a treasure cave, but a temple of the underworld, that jade block is a big coffin, and if you move the jade object on the plate, the mechanism will be activated." ”

Hei Niu's face was full of doubts, and he asked, "This jade is obviously a whole piece, how can you put the corpse in it?" ”

The light of the cold fireworks gradually dimmed, and I quickly turned on the flashlight to shine on the giant jade block, and beckoned to the black cow: "Come over and take a closer look, there is something faintly moving inside this jade wall, I guess this may be the mercury or poison gas mechanism commonly used in tombs in the Western Han Dynasty, and the key to opening the mechanism is these twelve golden figurines." ”

Hei Niu turned on the tactical spotlight, circled around the giant jade, and sighed: "Damn, if you take a closer look, you find that there seems to be something inside." Well, if we had opened the wrong mechanism, would we have died here? If this is the case, the price will be a bit large, but then again, if you don't take good things, you are sorry for the hundreds of millions of years of human evolution. Lao Su, you have to think of a way. ”

I explained to him: "It is not difficult to open this mechanism, the arrangement of these twelve golden figurines is the same as the arrangement of the sixty dragons in the Chinese compass, the sixty dragons of the earth, the Jiazi needle starts from the beginning of Ren, Ren is the innate Kun position, Kun is the ground, so it is called "through the earth". The sixty dragons of the earth are inferred to be close to the vein, which is based on the two mountains as a group, and the five dragons are divided under it, so the twenty-four mountains have a total of twelve groups, and sixty dragons can be obtained. These twelve golden figurines correspond to the twelve sets of numbers of the sixty dragons that penetrate the earth, and according to the changes in the five elements and the twenty-four directions, it can be deduced which is the mechanism leading to the birth gate. ”

The black bull admired my theory very much, and urged me to try it quickly. As I just said, I walked back and forth between the twelve golden figurines five times, and finally concluded that the mechanism was on the golden figurines holding the bamboo slips.

I asked the black bull to take a few steps back, and turned the tray in the hand of the golden figurine, only to hear a "poof", a circular gap appeared on the east base of the giant jade block, like the size of a bowl, and a large amount of mercury flowed out of the gap, spreading out along the groove of the copper plate.

Following the flow, I hurriedly shone with a flashlight, and the bronze ground turned into a silver light, shining brightly, and it was magnificent. Three to five minutes later, a map of mountains and rivers was displayed in front of us, and the bumps were the rivers and mountains.

I exclaimed, "This is the map of the ancient Dian Kingdom!" ”

Hei Niu was obviously also shocked by this bronze map of the rivers and seas, and asked: "Aren't we in the tomb of Yizhou Thorn in the Western Han Dynasty, how can there be a map of the ancient Dian Kingdom?" You...... Are you mistaken? ”

"You can't be wrong," I said, pointing to a few places on the bronze map: "You see, this is the Nu River, the Jinsha River, and the Lancang River, and the three places where mercury gathers the most are Erhai Lake, Dianchi Lake, and Fuxian Lake, and the protruding bronze ridges are the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the Meili Snow Mountain!" ”

As he spoke, the mercury in the giant jade had run out, and the jade cracked open with a clatter. The jade walls on both sides slowly descended into the bronze underground, and a jade bed as white as snow appeared in front of us.

In the middle of the jade bed lay a person, who was dressed in a green and gold-threaded jade robe, with a gold mask on his face, and a bronze box in his hand.

Presumably, this is the legendary King of Dian.

We opened the bronze box and found a gold king's seal inside. The black bull looked at it and put it back on the jade bed, and couldn't wait to reach out and take off the mask of the King of Dian Wang.

The mask detached from the face of the King of Dian, and the black bull was stunned for a moment, turned his head to stare at me and asked, "This old zongzi, what's the ...... How do you look the same? ”

"Damn, don't scare me!" As I spoke, I hurried forward to watch, and when I took a flashlight, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: this face was too familiar, and I saw another self lying on the jade bed like looking in the mirror!

Even so, I vehemently denied it: "It's definitely not me, I have three cinnabar moles under my feet, you know." ”

Hei Niu glanced at me suspiciously, and unexpectedly stretched out his paratrooper knife and picked open a few pieces of jade on the soles of the jade maid's feet.

Unbelievably, this jade maid also has three cinnabar moles under her feet, and the position is exactly the same as mine.

The black bull stared at me and asked, "Old Su, how can this be explained?" Also, why are you so familiar with this burial chamber? Didn't you break your arm, when will you get better? ”

I was stunned by this series of questions, and I looked at the arm that I had dislocated when I first entered the tomb, and I really didn't know when it would be healed.

I almost broke down, and said repeatedly: "It's not me who is lying in the jade maid, it's definitely not me." ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the endless darkness, and the voice was far away and empty, and said unhurriedly, "This is you." ”

I was shocked, wasn't there no one in the tomb just now? Where did this sound come from? However, doubts outweighed fear, and I subconsciously asked, "Am I dead?" ”

"No, to be exact, you're alive again." The voice replied unusually calmly.

I was figuring out the meaning of this sentence, when I saw the black bull suddenly touch the golden king's seal and smash it on my head ferociously, this strength is obviously a murderous intention, he wants to smash me to death!

I exclaimed and sat up. At this time, a copy of the Book of Changes on the bedside bookshelf happened to fall and hit my head, probably because I didn't stabilize after reading it last night.

I sat down on the bed and slowly woke up from the nightmare I had just had. I always have this dream over and over again, but I don't know why.

Suddenly, the big waveguide mobile phone on the bedside table rang, I took a look, it was Niu Yuanchao calling, he lowered his voice and said: "Lao Su, didn't you get up, come to Lao Tzu's store in a slippery way, what, huh...... There's something big! ”

Although the voice is quiet, there is a joy and excitement that cannot be concealed between the words. When I asked me more, he refused to say anything, but urged me to go quickly.

Niu Yuanchao grew up with my bare buttocks, and my grandfather participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, so he gave him such a name with epochal significance and commemorative significance. At that time, there were three boys named Yuanchao in the elementary school class, and in order to distinguish them, we all called him Hei Niu in private. When I was in college, he was already in Panjiayuan, and at first he helped his second uncle, selling some old things from the countryside, and then his second uncle died suddenly, and he sorted out the mess, set up his own door, and became the shopkeeper.

It was only twenty minutes from my residence to Panjiayuan, and most of the shops in Panjiayuan had already opened to attract customers, so I greeted a few acquaintances and went straight to the small antique shop of Niu Yuanchao.

As soon as I arrived outside the door, I heard Niu Yuanchao's voice: "Hey, you go to Sijiu City to inquire, the people in the line, who doesn't know that I have genuine antiques here, not to mention you foreign bosses, that is, the collectors in the capital, come here and don't ask whether it's true or false, don't ask the price, why, because they all know the goods, you can see at a glance that everything on my shelves is a treasure, and it is a treasure!" If you ask again, you're a layman! ”

I opened the heavy curtain and went in, only to see a middle-aged fat man with the appearance of a nouveau riche sitting on a pear flower chair, and on the round table in front of him was a porcelain vase imitating the Qianlong period of the Republic of China.

When Hei Niu saw me coming in, he immediately got up and greeted me: "Hey, Dr. Su from the Institute of Archaeology, look, I still have a guest here, to help you identify antiques, I'm afraid I really won't have time for a while." ”

I am a small undergraduate, and now I have been praised as a doctor by the black bull; In addition, I worked at the Institute of Archaeology, surrounded by academic experts and archaeological experts, and I was not needed to identify antiques.

As soon as I listened to Hei Niu's words, I knew what kind of dog skin plaster he was selling in his gourd, and my feelings made me come as a nursery. Although I was extremely reluctant, I couldn't smash this door-to-door deal, so I had to cooperate with him and said: "Okay, Master Niu, you are busy first, and when you are done, I will take you to the research institute, and it doesn't matter if Professor Kang and them wait longer." ”

From the appraisal agency, to the auction house, to the archaeological research institute, he said that he knew many experts and how well he knew antiques, and he was invited to identify antiques. In the end, it was simply opened and blown, and it was even said that the Palace Museum, when I heard it, I was afraid that this cowhide would collapse if I blew it again, so I coughed twice to warn.

Hei Niu didn't mean to stop, but the middle-aged fat man Wu thought I was impatient, glanced at me, stood up and said with a smile on Hei Niu's face: "It turns out that you are an expert in appraising antiques!" I was so clumsy that I didn't even see it. I don't have much else to say, the price is according to your opening, you help me wrap this porcelain vase in the Qianlong period, and I am ready to give it away. By the way, can you help me open an appraisal certificate? ”

"The certificate has been opened a long time ago, and everything I have here has passed through the appraisal center before entering my shop, and it is true and old!" Hei Niu packed the porcelain vase and the appraisal certificate in a wooden box, took out the POS machine and skillfully swiped the card. I secretly glanced at the amount, damn, two hundred and thirty thousand!

The fat man hugged the box tightly, and when he left, he gave the black cow a business card, and asked the cattle expert to have time to inspect his company. The black bull promised to send him out of the door.

I sat on the pear flower chair, poured a glass of water and slowly shh ”

"Damn, of course not! It's only applicable to let you be a trust, and it's just a matter of using resources! The black bull said and looked out of the door, closed the door, and locked it from the inside.

He squatted down and took out a golden thing from under the counter and handed it to me, asking, "Old Su, what do you think this is?" ”

This is a palm-sized rectangular gold medal, engraved with two beasts, a bear and a horse, the body of the beast is intertwined, it is difficult to distinguish each other, it seems to depict the scene of the two tearing the war in full swing.

"Twin Beasts Devouring Horse Pattern Gold Medal!" I shouted and got up from my chair and asked the black bull urgently, "Where did this thing come from?" ”

The black bull pushed me to the chair and said, "Damn, you be quiet!" Do you know this thing? ”

I was the head of the data group of the Institute of Archaeology, and I saw this gold medal when I was sorting out the video materials, and I knew that in the Han Dynasty, the bear appeared in large numbers as an auspicious image on jade, pottery, lacquer, copper, gold and silverware, portrait stones and other utensils. Back then, the Lion Mountain Chu King Mausoleum had unearthed this kind of Western Han Dynasty bear, tiger and horse eating gold medal, how could such a valuable cultural relic be in the hands of the black bull? So I was desperate to know where it came from.

The black bull pointed to the door and told me, "You don't believe it, the gold medal was stuffed in through my broken door." I don't know which guy learned **, and he didn't leave a name or surname when he did a good deed. ”

This Western Han gold medal is worth a lot of money, the origin is unknown, I advise him to be cautious, for fear that there is some conspiracy, and it is not uncommon for peers to frame each other and bring down the other party's shop.

The black bull took back the gold ornament of the double beast devouring horse pattern, and said: "Regardless of the conspiracy, Lao Tzu is not afraid, this thing will be mine if it comes to me!" It's just that I'm not sure if this gold medal for bears eating horses is real or high-imitation, Lao Su, you ask your godfather to identify it for me. ”

"Godfather? How did I not know I had a godfather? ”

"It's the old man Kang of your archaeological research institute, as far as the relationship between the two of you is concerned, it's better to be a godfather than a godfather. However, let me tell you first, if this is a real thing, Mr. Kang should not give me a political lesson, and encourage me to hand over to the country, my ideological consciousness is naturally very low. ”

I'm too lazy to talk to him, but such an important Western Han gold medal suddenly fell into the black cow shop like a pie in the sky, and the reason is not simple. Although the black bull is stubborn, he also has a little drum in his heart, he knows that the risk he needs to take is directly proportional to the authenticity of this Western Han accessory.

I had to find Professor Kang to identify it first, and then the two decided to go to Professor Kang's house.

When the taxi drove to Jianguomen, Gu Yixin, a female colleague in the data group and my apprentice, called and urged me to go to the unit. She was so anxious that we had to divert and go straight to the unit.

Up and down the data group, counting me, there are only nine people in total, Gu Yixin was specially recruited a year ago, he was a high-level student majoring in archaeology, and worked in the archaeological team for a month, and then changed to our seemingly leisurely data group, and followed me to do some miscellaneous things for data collation. Gu Yixin's personality is a typical girl-next-door type, lively and cheerful, she can talk to everyone, and she also calls me a master, which is very popular with everyone. Even so, I can see that Kang Renwu and other old professors in the archaeological team are very polite to her, and this little girl's family background is not simple.

When Hei Niu and I arrived at the office, only Gu Yixin sat in front of the computer that was viewing the video data, and when he saw me coming in, he dragged the playback bar with the mouse and went back. While asking me to sit down, he said, "Master, look at this video, it's incredible!" ”

This is the early winter of last year, Professor Kang led the archaeological team to excavate the tombs of the Liang Kings of the Western Han Dynasty in Mangdang Mountain, Henan Province.

The tombs of King Liang of the Western Han Dynasty, also known as the Mangdang Mountain Han Tomb Group, located in Mangdang Mountain, Henan Province, are the tombs of Liu Wu and his family of the Liang Kingdom of the Han Dynasty, including a total of 13 tombs, with a total area of about 5.5 million square meters. Its tomb group cuts the mountain to make a silhouette, wears the stone for hiding, the structure is complex, the momentum is magnificent, just like a huge underground palace. The whole archaeological excavation lasted for several years, and the video I watched was the end of the archaeological period, Professor Kang and others sorted out the on-site records of the burial goods of the tomb of the last Liang Wang's side concubine, the size of this side concubine tomb is a bit small, the burial pit and the coffin are in the same room, and only need to set up a camera in the northwest corner of the tomb, which can include the entire excavation site.

In the footage, several student-like assistants of the archaeological team gently sweep the burial pottery on the ground with a brush, and then carefully place the cleaned pottery on the side shelf. Professor Kang squatted on the edge of the wooden frame, telling everyone to be careful, and at the same time picked up a clay pot and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, Professor Kang jumped into the burial pit and went straight behind the black lacquered wooden coffin, scanning left and right for a week, and finally locked his eyes on the southeast corner. He stood there stiff for a minute, then vanished!

Yes, Professor Kang Renwu disappeared from the camera without warning in an inconspicuous side concubine tomb in the Western Han Dynasty. The coffin is still in the camera, and the archaeologists in the distance are crowded and busy, which is obviously not the reason for the disappearance caused by the shooting.

"Holy, what's going on? Got a ghost? Before I could speak, the black bull exclaimed.

We watched this short video more than ten times with wide eyes, and even played it frame by frame, and finally, we had to admit that Professor Kang just disappeared out of thin air.

After watching for two more minutes, Professor Kang reappeared in place as if nothing had happened. He coughed and walked back to the burial pit, where he continued to work with the rest of the archaeologists.

I stopped the video and said, "Could it be the light that causes the visual disappearance in the image?" It seems that only this explanation is more reasonable. ”

Gu Yixin shook his head and replied firmly: "The lights in the tomb have been arranged since the beginning of the archaeological work, and they have not been changed in the middle, and, look here. ”

Gu Yixin leaned in front of the computer as she spoke, and when she was too close, I smelled the smell of perfume on her long hair, and instinctively slid back in the chair. She dragged the video to the part where Professor Kang disappeared, and pointed at it with a slender finger and said, "Master, you zoom in here and take a look, after Professor Kang disappeared, the place where he was standing became transparent. The mural that should have been blocked by his body was also presented, so Professor Kang's disappearance is a real disappearance! ”

Hei Niu sat on the table with half his buttocks and said openly: "Although it is not allowed to become a fine after the founding of the People's Republic of China, I am also allowed to be a little superstitious, there are too many phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by the so-called science, not to mention, this happened in an ancient tomb in the Western Han Dynasty." I can't say it, the ghost of the concubine looked at it: Hey, why are so many people in the house at once, just grab one and ask, so I took the old man away and let him go after asking. Hey, it's a coincidence, Lao Su, didn't you say that my gold medal was also from the Western Han Dynasty? ”

The black bull said, and took out the gold medal of the double beast devouring horse pattern from his pocket. Gu Yixin took it and looked at it carefully for a while, and said in surprise: "Oh my God, this is the real thing!" The double beast devouring horse pattern gold ornament is used by the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty to reward the generals or princes with military merits, the content of this gold ornament is the same, but the bear and horse double beasts are different shapes, the lower right corner of the back is engraved with the name of the person to be rewarded, the tomb of the king of Chu has been unearthed, the tomb of the king of Liang has also unearthed a piece, the two pieces are engraved with Chu, Liang. Mr. Niu is engraved with Shu, but, as far as I know, no princely level Han tombs have been found in Shu! ”

What is the portentment of the appearance of this gold plaque in the hand of the black bull? Does Professor Kang know about his disappearance in the ancient tomb?

All the questions pointed to Professor Kang, a gentle and amiable old man who was suddenly covered with an unspeakable sense of mystery. And all the puzzles must be solved by Old Man Kang himself.

Professor Kang didn't have the habit of using a mobile phone, and if you wanted to contact him, you had to go to his home. I copied this piece of film and television information, and beckoned Gu Yixin and Hei Niu to leave for Professor Kang's house immediately.

Before leaving, Gu Yixin picked up the sandwich and Starbucks coffee on the desk, handed them to me and said, "Master, haven't you had breakfast yet?" ”

"Ouch, such a caring apprentice, your master has eaten it, but my uncle and I haven't eaten it yet." The black bull took it as he spoke, and devoured it, "Hey, this capitalist's breakfast is still delicious." It seems that I will have to change my taste in the future and move closer to the petty bourgeoisie,"

Gu Yixin was a little unhappy, pouted and looked at me, I pretended not to see it, picked up the USB drive and urged everyone to leave quickly.

After graduating, my father entrusted his old comrade-in-arms, Kang Renwu, to bring me into the data group of the Institute of Archaeology. Mr. Kang took good care of me, so his small courtyard house on the outskirts of Beijing became my second base in the capital.

After knocking for a long time and no one answered, I simply took out the key and opened the door by myself, and the black bull laughed: "You have the key and knock on the door, you are really funny!" ”

I squeezed him: "You don't have the word politeness in the dictionary, by the way, you haven't graduated from elementary school, and you probably don't even have a dictionary." ”

As the two spoke, they opened the second lock and came to the hall, the room was very messy, there were a few clothes to be changed on the sofa, and a stack of drawings and books were stacked on the desk by the window, which was not like the style of a rigorous scholar like Mr. Kang.

Gu Yixin walked to the old-fashioned coffee table, picked up the cowhide envelope, glanced at it and handed it to me, and said, "Master, Professor Kang left you a unique letter." ”
