Chapter 2 Jiazi Term

(Updated early, continued tomorrow)

"Incredible?" I repeated, "How do you understand this?" ”

"You'll find out later." Ali shook her head, and didn't stay on this issue for long, but changed the topic: "Brother, do you know the background of that fat man?" ”

I rolled my eyes, and said in my heart that all of you are taking me as a thief to prevent me, and don't tell me anything, how do I know.

Ali looked at me and rolled her eyes, and burst out laughing: "Just kidding, don't be angry." With that, he pulled me into the living room. At this time, the fat man and He Tao were both sitting on the sofa watching TV, and they didn't seem to have any thoughts too much because I pulled Ali into the room.

Seeing that I was being pulled out by Ali, the fat man looked at me and pointed to the sofa with his chin motioning for me to sit.

My heart chuckled when the fat man made that move. Growing up, as soon as my adoptive father made such a move, it meant that there must be something wrong with me.

"We have to go to Qinghai." The fat man said.

"Qinghai?" I was stunned, "Why?" ”

The fat man carefully took out a cloth bag wrapped in silk from his bosom, and then carefully opened it again.

Inside was a piece the size of two palms, resembling cloth. I don't know what to call it a little more technically, but in my opinion, it's just a piece of cloth. However, it was found by the fat man from the coffin in the ancient tomb of Ximatang. And it's got a lot of lines drawn on it, and it looks a bit like a map.

The fat man gave He Tao a look, and He Tao quickly cleaned up a place on the coffee table in front of him, and then pulled a few more facial tissues and spread them on top of them.

"It's a map." The fat man tapped his finger at the piece of cloth that was spread out on the coffee table. "It's just a fragment."

"You mean there's a fragment like this in every tomb?" I immediately thought of what Ali had told me earlier.

The fat man was slightly stunned when he heard me say this, and looked at Ali reflexively. Ali shrugged, not seeming to see anything wrong: "I told him everything he could know." ”

The fat man frowned, and tried to speak several times but held back. After holding it for a while, the fat man exhaled and continued, "If the inference is correct, there should be a fragment of a map in each tomb. He looked at me as he spoke: "Do you know why your uncle is fighting backwards?" ”

I nodded: "Got it now." The fat man nodded, and was about to continue, but I interrupted: "Wait, I want to know what the use of these fragments of the map is after they are put together into a complete map?" ”

Ali and the fat man looked at each other, then shook their heads together. The fat man said: "Fat man, this is what I am curious about. As he spoke, the fat man took out his mobile phone and put it above the map fragment, clicked a set of ten consecutive shots, and then put the phone away. As far as I know, in recent years, the leaders of the Eight Elements have begun to get restless. ”

Hearing the fat man say this, Ali also nodded: "Yes, I feel it too." Other clans that have some connection to our clan seem to be restless? ”

The fat man nodded: "Because the time is almost up, if they don't hurry up, they may have to wait for another Jiazi." After speaking, the fat man smacked his lips: "Sixty years, how many sixty years can a person have?" If you don't hurry up now, those old guys probably won't have a chance. ”

"Can you two say something I understand?" I asked the fat man.

"That is to say, the leader of the Outer Eight Lines needs to collect these eight map fragments before the sixty-year deadline arrives, and then," the fat man frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "and find something?" But after saying that, the fat man seemed to feel that it was not quite right to say this: "No, what has such a long shelf life?" Sixty years of land ownership? After speaking, the fat man looked at Ali and asked her, "Hey girl, do you know?" ”

"You think too highly of me, too." Ali rolled her eyes, "You know more than I do, you don't know, how do I know?" ”

"Well, you can't say that." The fat man sat up straight: "Maybe you know that some of them are the fat ones I don't know?" ”

Ali flattened her mouth: "But the problem is that I really don't know." ”

"Hey you" The fat man was just about to speak again, but when I saw it, I was afraid that they would quarrel, so I immediately stood up and stopped the fat man: "You can't fucking let people go home?" What is the strength of a big man and a little girl? After saying that, I looked at Ali again: "We seem to be in the same boat now." If you know, then say it, maybe it will be good for everyone. If you don't know, that's okay. You know more than I do, right? With that, I changed the topic and asked the fat man: "Fat man, didn't you just say that we were going to Qinghai?" You haven't said why. ”

The fat man put away the fragment of the map again, then grabbed a few pieces of tissue paper and wiped the sweat on his forehead before saying, "When I found this fragment in the coffin, I took a look at it. At that time, I felt that this map was very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere. The fat man said and grabbed all the tissues on the table: "Why is this place so hot?" ”

I reached out and smashed the whole box of tissues on the coffee table into the fat man's arms: "Hurry up, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Fat man, don't I know this fragment well, and then I thought about it all the way back on the way. Hey, don't say it, I really thought of it. Saying that, the fat man squinted at me: "I'm thirsty." ”

I got up and tried to kick him, but the fat man hurriedly crossed his hands in a defensive gesture: "Just kidding." After speaking, the fat man paused, and then said: "Fat man, I happened to see an overhead shot when I was watching a travel satellite TV program. That shot is very similar to the one drawn in this fragment. ”

"Are you sure it was an overhead shot of Qinghai on TV at the time?" I asked the fat man.

The fat man nodded: "That's right, it's all shown below the TV." Qinghai Province, Kunlun Mountains. ”

I nodded, but then another question came to mind: "I remember that Kunlun Mountain seems to be connected to Tibet, Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Gansu, right?" ”

The fat man nodded, "yes, what's wrong?" ”

"Then how can you be sure that this map refers to Qinghai?"

The fat man smashed his mouth and sighed: "Fat man, I can't be mistaken." The location on the map is in Qinghai. And that location is very mysterious. ”

"How?"

The fat man coughed, "That place has another name, it's called the Gates of Hell." ”
