The elder is the cousin of the merchant and is an elder in the family. He took a book and a letter handed to him by the merchant before his death, and asked for a family assembly. In front of everyone, he read out the merchant's suicide note. Merchants know that going to sea is dangerous, so they write a suicide note before every time they go to sea. The suicide note is very simple, only two short sentences and some numbers. The last words are simple, asking all the people in the family to do things according to their last words, and whoever is disobedient will be kicked out of the house. Because no one knew the meaning of the numbers, the merchant's wife insisted that what she said was what her husband meant. Unexpectedly, an old fellow thought of it, and in front of everyone, he picked up the book left by the merchant for the elders, and found the words in the order of numbers. After the final combination, the contents of the merchant's suicide note appeared. The merchant feared that his own son would suffer, so he confirmed in his suicide note that the eldest son was his only heir. The youngest son is not only not his biological son, but also the illegitimate child of his wife and others. For the sake of the inheritance of the family bloodline and the family fortune not to change his surname, he decided to hand over all the property to his eldest son to manage. If his wife and younger son don't bully the eldest son, they can support them until they are old. If the wife and the younger son want to force the eldest son to death, the mother and son will be kicked out of the house and never allowed to return.

This suicide note is not only complete but also cleverly arranged, even if the businessman's wife gets a clue, it is impossible to crack or change it. The numbers above are used in odd and even, the odd number is the number of pages, and the even number is the order of arrangement, although it is more troublesome, but it will never be mistaken or changed. This suicide note, composed of numbers and codebooks, not only laid out the aftermath, but also let everyone understand the relationship between the businessman's family. This suicide note was unanimously approved by the family elders, and then submitted to the local yamen for approval, and then acted in accordance with the merchant's wishes. The eldest son inherited the property, and the merchant's wife and younger son were completely kicked out of the house. Everyone admired the resourcefulness and cleverness of the businessman, and only extraordinary people could come up with such a good idea.

This story is known to many people in Qiu Xiaoqiu's hometown, not only known, but also passed down from generation to generation. Qiu Xiaoqiu saw these numbers before he remembered the story his father had told. It is also because of this story that Qiu Xiaoqiu reminds him of his biological father and hometown. I remembered the death of my father, and the callousness of the elders in the family towards their mother and son. I remembered the miserable years of wandering around in the past few years.

Qiu Xiaoqiu's story gave Qin Tai an inspiration, and he hurriedly tried to do so, but found that it was impossible to do so. After thinking about it, the old drunkard said, "Don't think too deeply. Will it be separate, each page has its own role. For example, the first number is the number of lines on the page, and the following number is the number of words in the line. It is very likely that the words that come out in this way are the words that are needed. ”

Qin Tai tried to do it once, and really found a word, but he didn't know if he was looking for it. Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qiu Xiaoqiu helped arrange the number of pages of the manuscript in order, and Qin Tai checked the words on it with the old drunkard master. After a while, eight words were spelled out, and five of them could be coherent, indicating that there was nothing wrong with this method. Everyone immediately looked up the words separately, one person was responsible for one piece, and then connected all the words.

After a night of continuous work, the four of them were almost tired. Zhan Xiaoxiao also has to take care of the child's peace, so it really tires everyone out. However, these efforts have been rewarded, at least Qin Tai thinks it is worth it. Although these words are not complete, the general meaning still comes out. Bai Ruxue left a hand, if it weren't for Qiu Xiaoqiu's carefulness, it was very likely that he would have missed it like this.

These words add up to a sword mantra and three incoherent place names. Needless to say, the sword mantra must be the highest mantra of the White Lotus swordsmanship, and it is also the most wanted thing of the White Lotus Sect. What are the names of the three places, which stumped Qin Tai and a few people.

At this time, Zhan Xiaoxiao came over with her son Xiao Ping'an, who had just woken up. As soon as Xiao Ping'an saw his father Qin Tai, he immediately showed his four front teeth and pounced desperately on Qin Tai. Qin Tai hugged his son and tried his best to avoid his son from being bitten by Xiao Ping'an. Xiao Ping'an began to grow teeth, only two a few days ago, and now he has four teeth. Because of the relationship between teeth, Xiao Ping An is very uncomfortable and often likes to bite things. Zhan Xiaoxiao has a way to control Xiao Ping'an, Qiu Xiaoqiu also patiently dodges Xiao Ping'an's bite, only Qin Tai, the father, is often bitten by his son. Although it didn't hurt very much, as Xiao Ping'an's teeth became sharper and sharper, Qin Tai was often bitten. Xiao Ping'an seems to like to see his father bitten, so he especially likes to find trouble with his father. Qin Tai had no choice but to hold his son while avoiding his son's "destruction" of him.

Qin Tai and his son Xiao Ping'an played hard, and Zhan Xiao asked his godfather the results of the old drunkard's master. When Zhan Xiaoxiao heard these three place names, Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say: "I know these three place names." The first is a nameless valley. I've been there before. There is nothing in this place though, by the way, some of the stone walls have some patterns on them. But this place has been abandoned for a long time, and I stumbled into it to take a look. The second is the station of the Jianghu sect, which not only does not allow outsiders to approach, but also has patrols patrolling day and night. As for who this sect is, I don't know very well. The third place name is a military restricted area, and of course when I passed by, I was checked by the soldiers of the army for a long time before I was allowed to let go. These three place names do not match, why should they be so indicated? ”

After Qin Tai carefully asked his wife about the location and location of these three places, he did not express his opinion again. The old drunkard master understood what Qin Tai meant, and he nodded to Qin Tai to show that he agreed with Qin Tai's meaning, and said, "I understand." The first place name is actually the valley mentioned many times in the book. That is, the place where Yue Nianlang, Luo Yuan and other three generations lived in seclusion. Zhang Sanfeng also saw the whole picture of the 'Shuangyuan Sword' there, and comprehended the subtlety of the 'Wudang Liangyi Swordsmanship'. This place is not only the relics of the predecessors, but also the source of the White Lotus Sect's swordsmanship. The book said that Tang Sai'er had practiced swordsmanship in retreat at the beginning, and it was very likely that he practiced swordsmanship in this place. This is the practice place that no one in the White Lotus Sect knows about except for the sect leader. For various reasons, no one knows about it now, or the people of the White Lotus Sect don't dare to stay in the valley to practice easily. The second place is most likely the location of the White Lotus Sect's 'Xiying'. After the 'Xiying' was destroyed, not only were the belongings gone, but a large number of living forces were gone. It is very likely that it has been transferred a long time ago, and now this place is most likely one of the important strongholds of the White Lotus Sect. This sect is just a cover, and the people inside are actually disciples of the White Lotus Sect. The third place is guarded by officers and soldiers, could it be the main altar of the White Lotus Sect at the beginning? After the main altar was breached by the imperial court, the army was stationed there for a long time. Bai Ruxue should know this, why is this place still mentioned in it? Could it be that there are secrets in the altar that outsiders don't know? That's right, that's right. I remember that someone once mentioned that Tang Sai'er killed a lot of corrupt officials and local squires back then. In addition to paying for the daily expenses of the White Lotus Sect, everyone suspected that Tang Sai'er had left behind a large amount of gold and silver treasures. This money is the White Lotus Sect Development Fund, and it is also an opportunity for the White Lotus Sect to make a comeback. Could it be that this place is related to Tang Sayer's treasure? Speaking of which, the White Lotus Sect not only wants to get the sword spectrum, but also needs this fund very much. Bai Ruxue knew what this set of swordsmanship and treasures brought him, so he didn't dare to write it down at will. I had to use this method to record this secret, hoping that someone would be able to decipher the mystery. ”

After hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Tai in unison. Qin Tai is not only their backbone, but also an official of the imperial court, and everyone wants to hear Qin Tai's opinion. Qin Tai thought for a moment and said slowly, "I can't think about it either. I am an official of the imperial court, and I should report this matter to the imperial court. But what would happen if it were to be said? The relics of the predecessors can be visited, and if the swordsmanship on it is beneficial to the country and the army, it can also be used to strengthen the quality of officers and soldiers. The second place is the stronghold of the White Lotus Sect. If it is reported to the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely send troops to suppress it. At that time, not only the people of the White Lotus Sect will die, but also the people of the imperial court, and even the people in the vicinity will suffer. I remember mentioning in the book that the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect, and the officers and soldiers even killed the nearby people, and the disciples who pretended to be the disciples of the White Lotus Sect could not only receive rewards, but also boast about the results of the war. If we do it again, there will be no fewer casualties among the people in the vicinity. I really can't bear it, doing so is tantamount to harming these innocent people with my own hands. As for the third place, whether there is treasure or not, no one can say. Bai Ruxue didn't look for it, and we didn't have the idea of exclusivity, so of course there was no need to find it ourselves. The more money the court has, although it can expand the army, but more money will be embezzled by officials. The people of the White Lotus Sect can't get this money, and if they do, it will upset the balance. The imperial court will not be able to get this money either, and the officials will be even more greedy if they get it. It's better to say nothing and let the money stay there. As an official, I have to report it, but as a person, I can't say it, and as a man with a family and a job, I can't say it, so I decided not to report it. ”
