I shook my head and said, "No, absolutely impossible, since the author of the mural hid it in the offering table with that extremely rare piece of jade, it means that its value is at least the same as that piece of jade, or even higher." ”

Hu Sannunu mouthed and motioned for me to get the tattered backpack at the head of the bed: "It's right there, you can see for yourself." ”

My heart was beating faster, and despite the dust on the bag, I couldn't wait to tear the zipper, and a stack was wrapped in waterproof bags, which were more than ten centimeters long, and the layers of hemp paper were exposed. I held my breath as if I were a baby, and carefully held it out. Zhang Siyuan stretched his neck to look at my hand, his face suddenly sank, and he said strangely: "How is it a long list of ghost-like words?" ”

I glanced down and saw a series of densely packed words drawn on the yellowed and rough hemp paper, with almost no gaps between the words, and curved like snakes, these powerful black characters covered the entire hemp paper, and there was basically no finger-sized gap on the paper. The text on the edge of the hemp paper has been worn and white, but the middle ones are still full of color, and some marks can still be felt on the back of the paper, which can be called well-preserved.

Uncle Lu spread his hands and said: "You have also seen it, this can't be said that I am uneducated, who of you can understand?" ”

Wang Linshuo wanted to come to the hemp paper, put it in front of me and study it carefully, my eyes were about to stick in, I stared at him nervously, hoping that he could read out the contents to us word by word after ten minutes. But this kind of thing only existed in my fantasy, and after a long time, he rubbed his eyes and raised his head, and put the ancient scriptures aside with a disappointed expression: "I only guess that it should be Sanskrit, and I don't know anything else." ”

I frowned, stared at the ant-like text, and wondered if I wanted someone who knew Sanskrit to translate it? Zhang Siyuan opened the sealed bag, and an old and somewhat sour smell came. He flipped through it cursoryly, and the words on each sheet of hemp paper looked the same but were actually different. When I looked at it, I was worried about my headache, how much work and brain power it would take to crack this thick pile.

Wang Linshuo pondered: "Could the words on the ancient scriptures be a little similar to the murals...... Hey, no! His eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Hu San sharply, and exclaimed, "There won't be no text on the mural, right?" How can you read the ancient characters of the Western Regions? ”

Hu San said lightly: "The chief controller used to study these things, and I learned a little from him, and I can generally understand it." But I really can't do anything about this Buddhist sutra written in Sanskrit. ”

I was secretly frightened, the chief controller of the heart path must have known about these things before us, maybe he had entered that palace...... But why didn't he take the jade and the ancient scriptures? I still remember Li Xikan hinting that he hid the jade in the desert, so there is a doubt that this piece of jade hidden in the intact offering table is not an imitation, right?

I was about to ask a question, but Zhang Siyuan suddenly straightened up, poked his head and looked curious: "Everyone let me interrupt, who is the general controller, why don't you two even dare to mention people's real names?" It can't be like Voldemort, a name that can't be spoken, right? ”

Hu San frowned and waved his hand: "Although I don't know what Voldemort is, it sounds like it's similar in nature." You just have to remember not to call them by their first names. ”

Zhang Siyuan pursed his lips and leaned back in his chair dissatisfied, with an expression of wanting to speak and stopping. I hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask my questions while sorting out my thoughts. Uncle Lu pondered: "I have thought about this issue a long time ago, and I have checked the authenticity of the jade with Hu San many times, but I haven't seen it. If it's a forgery, it's an extremely successful forgery, and it's indistinguishable from the real thing. ”

Hu San continued: "Could it be that there is actually more than one piece of this jade, Li Xikan is holding the real product, and what we are holding is also genuine." Although it is an extremely rare jade, it is unlikely that only one piece will be left, right? I don't think there's any sign of anyone ever destroying or coming in the hall, could it be that the team sent by the chief controller died on the road, and we were the first to patronize? ”

I nodded, thinking that it was very likely, and my curiosity couldn't help but be stirred up, regretting that I hadn't gone with them, and regretting that I hadn't stuffed a miniature camera on them. Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, no one spoke, and the silence in the ward could be heard when the dust fell.

It was already dark at some point, a few diamonds sparkling in the velvety night sky, and from the small window, you could see the lights and pompous neon lights, and you could hear the bells and whistles. The noise and the smell of food woke up again, and there was a noise in the silent hallway, with the occasional cry of a baby coming from nowhere.

I haven't woken up from the strange historical stories and many puzzles, and I always feel cold on my back, even though I know that I have come to the civilized world, I still subconsciously watch out for monsters that will jump out of nowhere. Wang Linshuo lowered his head and studied the ancient scriptures, and his small eyes were firmly fixed on the words that turned in the curve above. I was about to persuade him to give up when the door was slammed open, and a chubby middle-aged woman in a nurse's uniform poked her head out.

She swept around us with her glittering, fat-soaked little eyes, and said fiercely, "When did you come in?" Do you know that you won't be allowed to visit the sick until so late? ”

Zhang Siyuan grabbed his backpack, squeezed out a smile and said, "I'll leave immediately." ”

Uncle Lu and Hu San showed reluctant expressions, as if they still had something to say. Although I wanted to ask more questions, I couldn't match the fat woman with a lot of meat, so I grabbed my backpack and left. Before closing the door, Uncle Lu grabbed the phone receiver at hand and shook it at me. I nodded, flashing past a limping patient.

Zhang Siyuan said while walking through the ward: "Uncle Lu always uses a landline is really inconvenient, you should buy him a waterproof and drop-proof Nokia, so that it is easy to contact in the wild." ”

I rolled my eyes and said, "It's all out of production now, where do I buy it?" ”

Wang Linshuo motioned for us to stop the topic and interrupted: "How much do you think the story on the mural is true?" ”

Wang Zhen shook his head and said: "It sounds like a folk weird story, and there are many doubts in it, but because I haven't experienced the scene at all, and I don't know that history, I can't question it." ”

Wang Linshuo rubbed his chin and said: "Indeed, the reason why I don't believe it is because I think it's too weird, it really looks like a strange novel." But on second thought...... Maybe it's true, but there is also a basket of documented strange things that happened in ancient times. ”

Zhang Siyuan said: "I don't doubt the authenticity, I'm just curious about the things in the ancient scriptures - thinking about it like this, it seems that we are gradually approaching the center of the whirlpool, and the general controller must have a lot to do with the murals." ”

I nodded and said, "I'm going to find someone who can translate Sanskrit, money is not an issue." Even if it's not to help them, I want to satisfy my curiosity. ”

The group walked out of the hospital, discussed it, and decided to stay here for a while, waiting for Uncle Lu and Hu San to walk together after their injuries were healed. We booked a hotel nearby, and after connecting to the wireless, I began to search for Sanskrit translations on Taobao, but I saw a few that met the requirements, but the shopkeepers said that this belonged to ancient Sanskrit, and it was too difficult to translate. I was very desperate, looked at the thick stack of hemp paper and sighed, and said irritably: "If there is really no one to contract, I will buy books and study by myself." ”

Zhang Siyuan snorted coldly: "Forget it, at your level, you can translate the entire content upside down." The original meaning of the people in the city was that all the people in the city died, and you should translate it to mean that all the people were saved by the emperor. ”

I said, "I'm as stupid as you say - Ershuo, you've been staring at the computer for a long time, have you found any information?" Do you know anyone who does this? ”

Wang Linshuo furrowed his brows and flicked the ashes of his cigarette fiercely, he had been addicted to cigarettes since he came back from the desert. He sighed, "How can there be so many people for me to know? I still don't have a clue. ”

I still browsed the interface, my eyes scanning one message after another, hoping to see something useful. Eventually, at the bottom of the page, I saw a few complaints from a year ago: How can there be such a university, learning ancient Sanskrit translation every day? Although I am very interested and have studied well, what can I do with this study, translating Buddhist scriptures? How can there be so many Buddhist scriptures for me to translate! What will I rely on to eat in the future!

I laughed secretly, thinking that the troubles that were peculiar to college were far away from me, and the tone of this young man reminded me of the time I used to spend in dorms and cafeterias.

Zhang Siyuan glanced at Qi and said: "I didn't expect that there really be a school with this kind of major, it's magical." You tell him that he doesn't have to worry about it, it's time to pack up and collect the money. ”

I sent a private message to this Baidu account with the attitude of giving it a try, thinking that the other party would not see it, but it didn't take long for me to receive a reply: it can be translated, it can be translated! Add me to WeChat to chat.

The other party said that he had been working for a year and was doing things that had nothing to do with his profession, but because he didn't want to give up his strange hobbies, he was still reviewing this aspect. I sent the photo over, and the other party said that although it was tricky, it was still within my ability and could be translated.

I was so ecstatic that I almost jumped up and held the computer for spin. But Wang Zhen suddenly grabbed me, and said with a pout: "The man said that this is an extremely rare thing, asked you how you got it, and said that if it is held by a person, it is recommended to hand it over to the state, and no one dares to accept this thing." ”
