Chapter 149: The Thirteenth Man

This notebook is densely packed with records that can almost run through Ling Xiaoge's life, and he is so eager to unlock the secret on the back map that he has countless references to the mysteries, and even blurred the words behind it.

But Ling Xiao Pavilion has never been able to comprehend the mystery, and there is one thing mentioned in the notes, and there is a date on it, presumably this incident makes Ling Xiao Pavilion unforgettable.

On March 18, 1942, someone broke into the Ling family ancestral hall, that night it rained heavily, the head was buried very low, I could hardly see his face under the poncho, until now I don't even know his name, he bluntly asked me Ling Xuan if there was anything left, I was furious and was pre-driving, he turned back and told me to come for the Vientiane Shrine.

To this day, I still remember the face under the poncho, gloomy and resolute, with slanted sword eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, revealing a majesty that people dare not look up to.

The Ling family has been holding on to the secret of the Vientiane Divine Palace for a thousand years, and has never leaked it to outsiders, I don't know how he found out, I retreated from the others, asked where it came from, the man took out a bronze ball in front of me, and in his hand it shone strangely with a strange light, and I saw a flying dragon composed of halos, spreading its wings and magically soaring in front of my eyes.

Wait until the halo converges on the bronze ball, and the feather dragon cruising in the ancestral hall disappears instantly, this is the first time I have seen a feather dragon on someone other than the Ling family, I know that this pattern is related to a bizarre treasure ship in the rumor, the Ling family's ancestors left a push back picture, once said, the feather dragon is now, Vientiane out, I think this person should be because of that push back picture.

But I didn't dare to hand over the secret of the Ling family's thousand-year-old inheritance to him, and the person who came seemed to see my doubts and asked me to go to Golmud on April 28, and he would prove the existence of the feather dragon to me.

……

"The man in the poncho is the same person who sent out the invitation forty years ago." The palace lord was shocked.

"Bronze ball, Ling Xiao Pavilion's notes mentioned that the person was holding the bronze ball in his hand, it is likely to be the one we found in Kunlun Jinque, but since the bronze ball has long been in the hands of this person, what are we finding?" Tian Ji frowned, puzzled.

"I think maybe we've all been mistaken, we always thought that this person recruited twelve top people forty years ago to find out the whereabouts of Kunlun Jinque......" I looked at the notes and shook my head in surprise. This person has long known about the existence of Kunlun Jinque, and even went there, and took the bronze ball from it, forty years ago, he brought people back to Kunlun Jinque, the real purpose ......"

"It's to put the bronze ball back into the Kunlun Golden Gate!" The palace lord was smart, and soon thought of going with me.

"If that's the case, since this person knows the location of Kunlun Jinque, why doesn't he return by himself, but instead recruit twelve people who have nothing to do with him?" Ye Zhiqiu asked seriously.

I didn't know how to answer, there were so many mysteries in the whole thing that we couldn't solve, I flipped through the notes of Ling Xiao Pavilion and found that there was a long blank space in the back, and the time span in between was quite long.

It has been four months since the appearance of the record, and the words in the notes reveal Ling Xiao Pavilion's confusion, he remembers the person who presented him with a halo feather dragon on a rainy night, and also remembers the invitation that person sent to him, but in the middle of the four months, Ling Xiao Pavilion's memory seems to be completely blank, he can't remember what happened, his memory seems to be bizarrely interrupted for a long time, and the last thing he can remember is waking up in a hotel in Golmud.

Ling Xiao Pavilion said in his notes that there was a feeling of being in a different world, since then he began to look for the Vientiane Divine Palace to explore everything related to the Feather Dragon, he spent more than 20 years but there was no substantial progress, until Ling Xiao Pavilion found that someone began to covet the secrets of the Ling family, and this person was extremely powerful, not the Ling family could compete at all, for the safety of the Ling family, Ling Xiao Pavilion could only hurriedly pass the position of sect master to Ling Ran.

Then he took the Ling family's secret away, and hid the notebook back to Wuyi Mountain, which was also the place where Ling Xuan first left the Ling family's secret.

Flipping through the notes here, there were all blanks behind them, originally thinking that Ling Xiao Pavilion should know more clues about the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, but now it seems that he even knows less than we know.

Wow.

I was about to put down my notes when a yellowed photo fell from the blank page at the back, and I picked it up from the ground and recognized at a glance that it was a group photo of the same group of people who entered the Kunlun Golden Gate forty years ago.

It's a pity that this photo is only half, I hurriedly took out the photo on my body to compare, it was still a photo taken by those people standing in the same position, but the half of the photo kept by Ling Xiao Pavilion was written by him with a red pen on it.

"There's no Soaring Pavilion in this half of the photo." I put the two photos together, in fact, Ling Xiao Pavilion was also in the group photo, but on the other half. "He should have found this half of the photo on his body, but at that time there was a break in his skills, and he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't understand why there was an extra half of the picture on his body, so he wrote a question mark."

"The crack in the middle is uneven and irregular, this photo is not cropped, look at the tear marks, it should be torn in half during the snatching." Gong Jue pointed to the half of the photo and said. "It seems that Ling Xiao Pavilion had an argument with someone during the time he went to Kunlun Jinque."

"The two photos don't seem to be the same." Ling Zhihan buried his head in the bottom and carefully identified it for a long time. "You see, the person standing in the middle in Grandpa's photo is different from the one in your photo."

We hurriedly surrounded it, looked at the place where Ling Zhihan pointed it, and then repeatedly compared the group photo I got from Xue Shuqiao, and was surprised to find that it was really what Ling Zhihan said, and the person in the middle did not appear in the group photo.

Xue Shuqiao's notes said that this group photo is the twelve people who were recruited, but unfortunately in this half of the photo of Ling Xiao Pavilion, the face of the person standing in the middle has just been torn off, and I have never found the same clothes and pants to wear in the complete group photo.

"Forty years ago, it wasn't twelve people who went to Kunlun Jinque, it was thirteen!" The field chicken looked up at me.

"Xue Shuqiao's photo is missing a person who took a picture of them." The palace lord's hand pointed to the man whose face had been torn off.

"Recruiter!" I took a deep breath and suddenly figured it out. "This person is the person who sent the invitation letter forty years ago, and he is also the person who appeared in the Ling family ancestral hall to ask Ling Xiao Pavilion to hand over the secrets of the Vientiane Divine Palace, at that time, someone should have proposed a group photo, the first one was taken by this person for others, and then this person was pulled to the middle and also took a group photo."

"I don't know, there are only half of the photos from forty years ago, and the other half is estimated to be no longer available, which means that no one knows what this person standing in the middle looks like." Ye Zhiqiu shook his head in disappointment.

If you want to rescue Ye Jiuqing, the top priority must be to find the Vientiane Divine Palace, and I handed over the Tui Bei Diagram to Ling Zhihan's siblings: "Among the few of us, there is no one who is the most proficient in metaphysics than you, the key to saving your uncle and letting the Ling family live for a long time is in this Tui Bei Tui, you are now our only hope." ”

"This is the push back map, others don't know the essence of this thing, you will be more or less feng shui, push the back map is known as the world's strange book, it is really so easy to solve, the secret of the Vientiane Divine Palace will not be unknown to now, so many masters of the Ling family generation, they can't decipher the content of this picture." Ling Zhihan shook her head in embarrassment and said. "It's not that I don't want to crack the mystery in the picture, with my mystical attainments, I'm afraid it's not as good as my father's elixir, and he is even more far from my grandfather, and my grandfather can't get a glimpse of it all his life, how can I do it."

"Who said that no one can decipher this push back map." Tian Ji stood up and said seriously. "You forgot the documents we saw in Lu Qiao's tomb, Ling Wuchen should have finally confided in the content of this push back map, and Lu Qiao finally led more than 100 people from Dongchang Iron Cavalry to go deep into Mobei, and in the record they found a place that was consistent with Ling Wuchen's description."

"That's right, what Lu Qiao followed the mysterious lord to find should be the Vientiane Divine Palace, such a profound thing, how did a eunuch decipher it?" The palace lord nodded thoughtfully.

"I think it may not be Lu Qiao who cracks the content of the push back map, it should be the lord who controls everything behind the scenes, if Lu Qiao goes to the Vientiane Shrine, with his caution and meticulousness, it should be recorded." I was distraught and for a while there was no main. "It must be in those documents in the dark room of Lu Qiao's tomb."

"You didn't say this, when we left, didn't we burn all the fires." Tian Ji said.

"What Lu Qiao's tomb?" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly became serious and looked at us back and forth. "What did you destroy again?"

Ling Zhihan didn't know Ye Zhiqiu's personality yet, so she didn't have time to stop her and tell everything we encountered in Lu Qiao's tomb.

Ye Zhiqiu's face turned blue when she heard this, I knew that this matter made her hear that she had to fry the pot, the room full of documents in the dark room was more important than any gold, silver and jewelry, before she could get angry, I spoke first: "I destroyed the inscription, I burned the documents, you just pinch my head off, this matter can't be changed, your father is still uncertain, do you plan to save your father or spend it with me." ”

"......" Ye Zhiqiu probably didn't expect me to strike first, and he couldn't speak after holding back for a long time, and he was about to suffer internal injuries. It's not over, when my dad comes back, you'll have to take me. ”

"That's right, you have to wait until the shopkeeper is rescued in advance." I packed up the things on the table and handed them to Ling Zhihan. "We can't solve the problem here, let's go back to Chengdu first, since it's a metaphysical matter, it seems that we still have to count on you and your father."
