Chapter 267: Pawn Ticket
It wasn't until the people of the horse gang saw the gold in their hands that they realized that the person he met inadvertently said was probably not made up, Ji Yunsheng continued to say to us, compared to a shining golden city, who would want to go away to be a horse gang.
Therefore, the people of the horse gang asked the man where Lingshan was, but the man couldn't remember, he could only vaguely remember that after he left Lingshan, he entered a dense forest, he couldn't distinguish the direction at all, and was trapped in the woods for a long time.
In the end, how to get out, he also wanted to compare, only to know that in the end, after he left the forest, he found that there was an unclimbable cliff in front of him, and there was a hole at the top of the cliff, and he climbed it with the help of vines on the rocks, and after entering the hole, he walked for a long time, and he saw a stone door.
After he opened the stone door, he vaguely heard the sound of water flowing in front of him, the stone door closed after he left, he found a bronze plate that could be rotated on the stone door, and he took the bronze plate off because of his curiosity, and in the middle of the bronze plate, there was an ancient jade inlaid with hollow carving, and the carved pattern was the totem that Lingshan believed in.
The man fell to the ground when he took off the bronze plate, and the ancient jade inlaid in the middle was torn apart.
"The people of the Ma Gang said that the ancient jade sold to Teacher Xue was a decoration inlaid on a bronze plate." Ji Yunsheng said. "The man put the torn ancient jade on his body with the bronze plate, and walked forward with the sound of the water, only to fall into the river from a high place with one foot in the air, and he fell into a coma at that time, and when he woke up he had been washed away to the shore in the middle of nowhere, and he walked aimlessly, and met the horse gang."
"Since this ancient jade belongs to that person, how could it fall into the hands of the horse gang?" I asked.
After listening to the man's story, the caravan was convinced that there was a golden city called Lingshan somewhere, so he persuaded the man to send him back to Lingshan the next day, and the man readily agreed, but he could no longer remember the way back, and the caravan tried to make the man try to return the same way. Ji Yunsheng shook his head and said to us with a wry smile. "The horse gang made up this story, and there was still a look in front of him, but in the end, it is estimated that even he himself didn't know how to go back, and actually told us a ridiculous result."
"What result?" Tian Ji asked.
"The man from the horse gang said that early the next morning, he got up and planned to wake up the man and go to Lingshan together, but when he lifted the man's blanket, he saw that under the man's intact clothes, only a pair of dry bones remained." Ji Yunsheng smiled disdainfully. "The living person was said to be dead, and that's good, there is no proof of death after a hundred deaths, and he can say whatever he does next."
Gong Jue and Tian Ji looked at me together, this is not the first time we have heard of such a thing, the documents found in the corpse of Ji Lin in the Jieshi Golden Palace, which also recorded that the king of Qi suddenly gathered craftsmen from all over the country, and Ji Lin's great-ancestor was also among them, and was arranged to go to sea overnight, and since then it has been like a stone sinking into the sea, and there has been no news.
Fifty years later, just when this incident was slowly forgotten, those people actually returned by boat unharmed, and what is even more bizarre is that after these people came ashore, it didn't take long for everyone to begin to age rapidly almost at the same time, just as fifty years passed from them in an instant, until they died.
I thought to myself that maybe the same thing happened to the man I met.
"Ji Lao, what did the people of the Ma Gang say later?" Gong Jue asked.
"When the caravan saw the man who had turned into dry bones overnight, they thought that they had met an evil spirit, so they hurriedly packed up their things and returned, and took the bronze plate and jade fragments from the man's body when he left."
"The people of the Ma Gang took away the complete jade fragment, so why did he only have one left when he sold it?" I asked.
"This person is addicted to gambling, he gambles all the way, and the gold he gets is quickly spent, so he has to rely on selling jade fragments to survive, and Mr. Xue has also asked about the whereabouts of other fragments, but the horse gang doesn't know who to sell them to."
"Did he remember the pattern of the jade fragments put together?" Xue Xinrou looked anxious.
"The only thing that a bad gambler can see in his eyes is money, and those jade fragments are just gambling money in his hands at best, and he doesn't care about the patterns on them at all."
"Old Ji, you just said that before leaving, the people of the Ma Gang took away the jade fragments and bronze plates from the dry bones, and he sold the jade fragments, what about the bronze plates?" I looked at Ji Yunsheng with a serious expression.
"I don't know, this absurd lie made up by gamblers, why Mr. Xue cares so much, he couldn't wait to ask about the whereabouts of the bronze plate, the people of the horse gang said that they couldn't see the use of a copper plate, and they wanted to sell it, but no one cared, and finally he got it to the pawnshop for pawn." Ji Yunsheng thought about it and answered.
"Pawned......" I sighed. It has been decades, and since the thing is pawned to the pawnshop, it is impossible for the people of the horse gang to redeem it, and the thing has not been lost. ”
"Even so, Mr. Xue still refused to give up, and asked the Mabang to recall where he pawned, and he wanted to redeem it, but the Mabang actually kept the pawn ticket, asked Mr. Xue for some money, and gave the pawn ticket to Mr. Xue."
"Ji Lao, did Professor Xue redeem the bronze plate later?" Tian Ji asked.
"Teacher Xue originally wanted to go, but at that time, there were wars everywhere, and the generation was not peaceful and he couldn't go at all, which has always made Teacher Xue uneasy." Ji Yunsheng reopened his notes and sighed. "I didn't expect this to happen, and Mr. Xue has always kept it in mind."
"Xinrou, when you checked the relics of Xue Classroom, did you find a pawn ticket?" Gong Jue turned his head to look at Xue Xinrou. "Maybe you can find the whereabouts of the bronze plate from the pawn ticket."
"I looked through all my grandfather's relics, but I didn't see any pawn tickets." Xue Xinrou thought carefully for a long time, shook her head and said.
"There is no such possibility, I have been in the pawnshop for more than ten years, and the rules of the pawnshop are better than yours, since the things are pawned, within a limited time, if they are not redeemed, the pawnshop will sell these things." I shook my head, disappointed. "Don't say that there is a pawn ticket now, even when Professor Xue went back to redeem it, it is estimated that the things have been taken off."
"Mr. Xue won't have a pawn ticket there." Ji Yunsheng closed the note and said beside him.
"Why?"
"When Mr. Xue finally left the mainland, he kept thinking about that bronze plate, and he was worried that he might not have a chance to come back, so he handed me the pawn ticket, so that I had the opportunity to try it anyway and see if I could get the bronze plate back."
"The ticket is yours." The palace lord's eyes were full of hope again. "Ji Lao, do you still have the pawn ticket?"
"Of course I keep it, what the teacher gave me, how could I lose it." Ji Yunsheng pushed the wheelchair and asked us to help take out a box from under the bed. "It's a pity that I couldn't protect myself later, so I forgot about it like this, no matter how I think about it, it's a lie made up by the horse gang, but the teacher's advice I actually put it behind me, and I'm really sorry for the teacher."
Tian Ji squatted down, took out the box, and opened it in front of Ji Yunsheng, Ji Yunsheng took out a handkerchief from the bottom of the box tremblingly, and after slowly opening it, what was presented in front of us was a yellowed pawn ticket.
Only then did I understand why Xue Shuqiao left Ji Yunsheng's name at the end of the note, he remembered the whereabouts of the bronze plate, and he must have lost contact with Ji Yunsheng in the end, so he couldn't let go and wrote Ji Yunsheng's name in the note.
The palace lord carefully picked up the pawn ticket and glanced at it, and I noticed that his expression had changed drastically, and he raised his head and his gaze fell on me, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Looks like it's time for us to go back to Sichuan."
"Huh?" I was stunned and looked at him blankly.
The palace lord handed me the pawn ticket, and there were four very eye-catching words on the yellowed pawn ticket.
Quadripartite pawnshop!
I chuckled in my heart, the Ma Gang actually pawned the bronze plate to the Sifang pawnshop, Ye Jiuqing recruited poison, the bronze plate was not a thing of the Central Plains, and the gold was not easy to use that year, not to mention that someone was willing to pay for bronze.
Ye Jiuqing can let the horse gang pawn, which means that he must have found something from the bronze plate, before he figured out the origin, Ye Jiuqing would definitely not take it off casually, maybe the thing was still in Ye Jiuqing's hands.
Speaking of which, I haven't been back for a long time, in fact, I really want to see Ye Jiuqing, Zhuo Mingfeng and Xie Tianhui are hinting at me, Ye Jiuqing still has something to hide from me, and the matter is not small, if the lame man who enters the Jiqu tomb in Beibi Mountain is Ye Jiuqing, plus his real name and surname Peng.
It's hard for me not to associate Ye Jiuqing with the Nirvana Chakra, no matter what purpose he is in to hide from me, to be honest, I'm very sad in my heart, after all, he is the person I trust the most, and I'd rather Ye Jiuqing have nothing to do with all this.
After we had dinner at Ji Yunsheng's house, we said goodbye, and returned to Ying's house to tell Ying Xianyuan, since the clues related to the whereabouts of the temple will be difficult to gather for a while, I am afraid that the search for the temple will be delayed for the time being, since half of the clues are in our hands, we are not worried about what waves Wen Ru can turn over.
The top priority is to rush back to Chengdu first to see if you can find the pawned bronze plate, the Lingshan described by the person to the Ma Gang may really exist, Xue Shuqiao will not care so much about this clue for no reason, Lingshan may be related to the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace.
Ying Yuan was thoughtful and agreed with me, but he intended to go with us.
"Dad, don't get involved in this matter, if you don't worry, leave it to me." Field chickens discouraged.
"Uncle Ying, the things we have come into contact with are very widely implicated, and there are constant undercurrents, it's better for you not to fall into it, I don't want you to be the same as Gong Yu's predecessors." I have the blame in my heart, I am already sorry for the palace lord, and I can't let Ying Xianyuan put his life in danger no matter what.
"Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you, you do yours, I do mine." Ying Yuan smiled faintly with relief. "At this age, no matter how arrogant my brother is, he must be angry, and it's time for me to meet my former brother."
