Chapter Twenty-Six: Fire Burns Ink

"Come on, I'll send her out of the city first, you wait for me."

I reluctantly greeted the fat uncle, and then took Zhou Yujia out of the door.

Out of the alley, I helped her stop a taxi across the road, and gave the fare by the way, and only after the car drove away did I go back to the wreath shop to find the fat uncle to continue chatting.

I continued to talk for half an hour, and I was almost done with the story, and when I heard that Lafayette was going to trouble me, the fat uncle's face turned black in an instant.

"Lafayette at the pawnshop number eight is not easy to deal with." Hai Dongqing glanced at me, and his tone was very flat.

"What the hell does he want to do? For the sake of a soul, as far as it goes? The fat uncle shook his head, obviously he couldn't understand what Lafayette wanted to do, which is also the reason why I covered up the book, after all, there are outsiders here, and that thing is not easy to say.

"Hurry up and drop the society (say), what is the fourth (is) soul sprinkled in a different place?" The fat uncle also saw that I had something to hide from him, and when he saw Zhou Yujia leaving, he also opened his mouth and asked why Lafayette was embarrassed by me.

I glanced at Hai Dongqing and grinned at the fat uncle, meaning that there are outsiders here.

"Mo Si (nothing to do), his own people." The fat uncle smiled and waved his hand, and when I heard this, I shrugged my shoulders and walked into the back room, and took out the old lady's book.

Seeing this thing, Hai Dongqing raised his eyelids and glanced at it, and the fat uncle was interested in holding the book and studying it for a long time, I thought he could understand it at first, but after half a ring, he came to a sentence: "Give the hungry translator a ha (down), and the text is not four (is) hungry drops." ”

I couldn't help but laugh and took the book in my hand, and glanced at the fat uncle, don't you understand the profundity of pretending to be a fart?

I lowered my voice and slowly translated them with the reading level of elementary school, and then in a subdued and emotional tone.

"Yuan Gong? Absurd! It's a thief! ”

"The thief of the country, the lone husband and the thief, is already short-lived, but he wants to get the life of the ninety-five, and he can't help but laugh and be generous. Who knew that Yuan Thief's life should not be extinguished, and he actually heard the secret of resurrection from the scum of the Daomen Shan Yunzi. ”

"With this technique, it will be a technique to change one's life against the sky, and the punishment of heaven will be in front of you. Yuan Thief was not afraid of the curse of heaven, and actually ordered Shan Yunzi to gather warlocks to find the false tomb of Nurhachi and seek the art of rebirth. ”

"Yi's wife and children are in the hands of Yuan thief, and they are helpless, so they can only listen to the orders of Shan Yunzi and enter the tomb in Fengtianfu."

"The tomb was broken, and the whole army was almost wiped out, but Yi escaped alive, and the secret of rebirth was not obtained."

"This tomb is an extraordinary tomb, Zongyi is proficient in the five arts, if you want to break the tomb to find the secret, you will die and have no place to be buried."

"If you don't have secret techniques, the Yuan thief will be killed, and his wife and children will be in danger."

"If you have a secret technique, the thief will not die, and the fortune of the country will be in danger."

"Thinking about it, Yi Mou can only fight with his life, killing thieves and saving relatives, it is imperative. This is a unique book, I hope that future generations will not forget the evil of Yuan thief, and his thief will be scolded by a thousand years! ”

"In the fourth year of the Republic of China, Fengtian Yi Qingshan is out of the book."

After listening to my translation, Uncle Fat exclaimed directly: "Hungry God, the secret technique of resurrection and rebirth, this thing is hungry for the first time I have heard from the society (said)!" ”

"It's because of this thing that those grandsons killed Luo Dahai, but they didn't find the book in Luo Dahai's house, so they wanted to summon Luo Dahai's soul over, take out the news from Luo Dahai's mouth, and find this thing." I shook the book in my hand, and the fat uncle sighed and shook his head: "Money and treasures are easy to attract disasters, and the words (this) are wrong to anoint (no)." ”

Hai Dongqing didn't speak all the time, and after the fat uncle sighed, he suddenly interjected: "According to what you said, the people at the No. 8 pawnshop have read this absolute letter, but whether they understood it or not, it's impossible to say." ”

Hearing this, my eyes lit up suddenly, Hai Dongqing's words can be regarded as to the point.

There are only a handful of people who can understand this thing, and I can't understand it if I don't see a feng shui warlock like Uncle Fat? What's more, it's some Tufuzi who made a fortune by robbing tombs?

And the person who saw this book at that time should not be Lafayette, whether it is body or age, it is completely incompatible with Lafayette.

In this regard, it is true that the person who saw the book was the person from the No. 8 pawnshop, but he really couldn't necessarily understand the text!

"Since he can't understand it, why does the No. 8 pawnshop want to kill him?" I asked curiously, Hai Dongqing didn't like to talk like an autistic person before, but now when it comes to the point, he seems to have more words than anyone else.

"There are many talented people in the No. 8 pawnshop, and there are also many unforgettable "watchers". Hai Dongqing said, seeing that I didn't understand, he explained: "The viewer is the person responsible for counterfeiting, antique calligraphy and painting, they only need to look at it for a while to remember the content, some of the good memory of the viewer, they can go back and copy the antique, which is very easy for them." ”

I slapped my thigh hard: "I see! The Guan hand copied the book, and then showed it to Lafayette, and they were so murderous! ”

"It should be." Hai Dongqing nodded and pointed to the book: "No one can understand this thing, and the price at which the merchant sells it must be very low, so the viewer wants to buy this thing from Luo Dahai." ”

I nodded, the price of this thing is indeed cheap, according to Zhang Liguo, the seller knows that this is an object of the Republic of China, and a letter with a ghost drawing talisman is of little value to him, and the price of selling it to Luo Dahai is four hundred and five.

Hai Dongqing yawned and said lightly: "After all, these symbols can often be seen in some ancient tombs, and when he sees that this book is written with these symbols, he must have to think about it, the price is not expensive, and there are similarities with some ancient tomb symbols, and it is not difficult to understand that Guan Shou wants to buy it." ”

Suddenly, I thought of a place that I had been puzzled about, and asked, "Since they have all copied it, why do they have to worry about Luo Dahai?" Don't you all know the content of the road? ”

Hai Dongqing said quietly: "Because these words are written with fire ink." ”

"Fire ink?" I scratched my head and asked embarrassedly, "Then forgive me for being lonely and unheard, what is this burning ink?"

The fat uncle took over the conversation with a smile and explained to me the so-called fire burning ink.

Fire-fired ink is the same as the ink used for writing with ordinary brushes, both in terms of color and luster.

But there is a special place, in case of fire, it will be hidden, as long as the paper is put on the fire to roast, the content written on the paper with fire ink will automatically disappear, unless splashed with water, otherwise it will never appear again.

Since the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the fire ink has been circulated in the hands of the eunuchs and magnates, and most of them are used to write some secret letters.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the fire ink began to gradually decline, perhaps because it was not easy to find the raw materials of the fire ink, and this thing was almost extinct at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, even high-ranking officials and magnates could not necessarily find fire ink.

According to the records of wild history, the time when the most ink appeared after the fire burned should be the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, which was a gift from a powerful person to the Shunzhi Emperor on the emperor's birthday.

"How do you know that this is written in fire?" I asked puzzled, picked up the book and looked left and right for a while, but I still didn't see the reason.

No matter how you look at it, it's like ordinary ink, do you really want me to try it with fire?

No, if you make a mistake and burn the paper, what if you make a mistake

"I once saw a letter written by burning ink, and the smell of burning ink is the same as the smell of ink in your book, the smell of burning ink is actually very similar to ordinary ink, but there is a feeling of incense, and I will choke my nose when I smell too much." Hai Dongqing subconsciously rubbed his nose and continued: "The people in the No. 8 pawnshop are not fools, they can't let go of the opportunity to make a fortune, and most of the secret letters that can be written with fire and ink are hidden. ”

"These words are all revealed, even if they are written in fire and ink, what is the use of them with this letter? Don't they know the same thing? "My mind is getting more messy.

The function of burning ink is to hide the words, but these words have already appeared, and the people in the No. 8 pawnshop have also seen them, is it necessary for them to kill Luo Dahai and take away the book?

Just when I was puzzled, Hai Dongqing reached out without warning and took the book over, and without saying hello to us, he directly took the fat uncle's lighter in his hand, lit the fire, and shook it on the front of the book with the lighter, and suddenly we smelled a smell of burning paper.

My heart trembled when I saw this.

Don't mess it up for me! This is the cultural heritage of our Lao Yi family!

I was about to reach out to stop Hai Dongqing, but when I inadvertently looked at the paper, my outstretched hand immediately froze.

Those sizable texts are disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, replaced by black dots the size of rice grains.

What's going on?!

"This is a word-in-word, a common method in the Tang Dynasty, the big characters in front are written with fire ink, and these small characters are written in ordinary ink." Hai Dongqing handed the lighter to Uncle Fat, and handed me the book after changing his hand: "Take a look." ”

I took the book and glanced at it, stood up and walked into the back room, and walked out with the magnifying glass that the old man used to read before his death.

These black dots are quite familiar, and they seem to be words, but they are the size of a grain of rice, and I really can't see them clearly without a magnifying glass.

I took a magnifying glass and took a closer look, and my heart was slammed, these black spots are also Sui Wen!

These characters seem to have been written with a special pen, and the font is very small, almost as large as a grain of rice, but you can see it clearly with a magnifying glass, and there is no feeling of being crammed into a ball and unable to see clearly.

I grinned, it seems that the old lady's means are not small, just with this hand, he can become a miniature carving master without driving corpses!

It's a pity that the old lady has no business vision, if he embarked on the miniature carving industry, and then passed down the means of miniature carving, I would have gone abroad to become a master

I didn't continue to think about it, I stepped forward and carefully read the content of the text.

When I almost finished reading the content, a cool air began to rise in my spine, the roots of my teeth trembled vigorously, I looked at the book in my hand, and muttered in a cold sweat: "The old lady has actually seen that thing"
