Chapter 54: The Mystery of Yugui
The military advisor who got the wolf beads immediately dedicated the two beads to General Wu Si, and General Wu Si was very happy to see the beads, not only because the two jade beads were beautiful in appearance, but also took away the strange fragrance, because when the two original stones were buried in the wolf's belly, a part of the precious spices including musk were buried at the same time, and after a long time of running-in in the wolf's belly, a variety of fragrances have been deeply immersed in the jade, forming a new fragrance.
General Wu Si rewarded the military advisor and accepted two jade beads, which were then inlaid into his eye sockets after his death.
Then what happened later was that I unknowingly cut off these two jade beads and took them home, and it has been until today. But this thing is not universal, and how did Kaoru Mochizuki know the mystery of this thing? I threw the question to her and waited for her to explain.
Kaoru Mochizuki thought for a moment and said, "That's because this thing is very legendary, so many people wanted to find it at the time, and some accounts of the Wolf Bead can also be found in some household registers, but most of them are in a few words. ”
"I have another question, what does this thing have to do with the heirloom jade seal?"
"Actually, I'm not very sure, it is said that the jade seal was finally brought back to the steppe by the Mongols, and fell into the hands of General Wu Si, who after his death, recorded all the treasures he collected in these two wolf beads through ingenious methods. It is likely that the heirloom jade seal is also in this batch of treasures. Kaoru Mochizuki explained.
If it's really as Kaoru Mochizuki said, then all of this will almost make sense. I had carefully studied the two jade beads, and I didn't find any treasure in them, and even when the light passed through, there were no hidden lines like the previous jade seals. I think I've looked hard enough, and if there's anything I haven't noticed, it's definitely outside of my capabilities.
The two of us just asked and answered, and before I knew it, I was slowly falling asleep. In the dream, I returned to the ancient tomb again, the empty tomb, Lao Zhao and they didn't know where they went, only me alone and in the dark.
I was woken up by a knock on the door, and I struggled to wake up from a nightmare to find Kaoru Mochizuki not knowing when she had fallen asleep, so the two of us slept on the couch all night. As soon as I woke up, Kaoru Mochizuki woke up with me, apparently she also heard a knock on the door. Kaoru Mochizuki, who woke up, rubbed her eyes and stretched, stood up and waved at me, I thought to myself that this girl wouldn't want to go out now, in case someone saw it, she would think that there was something wrong with my life style.
But my worries were unnecessary, Kaoru Mochizuki went straight out of my bedroom window and literally slipped away like a thief, leaving me alone in the spot. When Dangdang was a few more sounds, I remembered that there was still someone outside the door, ran two steps, and quickly opened the door, only to find that the pit was standing outside the door, like a door god.
"You don't get up so early, don't you have a nervous breakdown." I saw that it was a pit, so I scolded casually. Unexpectedly, another person flashed out behind the pit, and I saw that it was Song Jin.
"Yo, classmate Song is also here, please come in, please come in." I dodged open the door and invited them in. Immediately after Song Jin, another head was revealed, and I saw that it was Zhao Xiaoxu, and this little girl also followed. The sudden and unexpected appearance made me not know what to say for a while.
"Brother Ling, it's early!" Zhao Xiaoxu said with a smile. I groaned, and my face flushed.
I had just gotten up, disheveled, and I was somewhat embarrassed to be seen. The pit smiled evilly and walked in first, and I realized that this was deliberately arranged by him, deliberately making me embarrassed. Because Song Jin and Zhao Xiaoxu were there, I didn't have a good seizure, so I had to endure it for the time being, and scolded the pit in my heart.
The pit entered the house and looked left and right, and suddenly walked to the coffee table, and I remembered that I was studying the Wolf Bead with Kaoru Mochizuki last night, and the jade bead was still on the coffee table. The pit picked up the wolf beads, put them in front of his eyes and looked at them, and then sniffed again: "Teacher Ling, what is this, mothballs?" ”
I said in my heart that this thing is not knowing how to spoil me, and I know that this is a jade bead brought out of the ancient tomb. I nodded reluctantly, and simply pushed the boat down the river and said: "Brother Pit is really good eyesight, this is mothball, and it is the latest product." ”
At this time, Song Jin and Zhao Xiaoxu also came over when they heard the sound, Song Jin saw Yuzhu, and muttered in a low voice: "Wolf Bead", although the voice was not loud, but I listened to it, I was shocked, how did Song Jin know the name of this thing, could it be that he also studied this thing, it was better to find an opportunity to ask him for advice again.
In contrast, Zhao Xiaoxu didn't know what it was, except that it was a jade bead accident, and there was no special reaction, I think this is normal, although she follows Lao Zhao every day, but she is not interested in jade from the heart.
"Don't look at mothballs yet, what's the matter with me so early in the morning?" I asked the pit.
Pit Zi smiled and said, "It's okay, I just want to come and see you." “
I snorted and said, "Can you lie better in the future?" But what do you come to see me when you don't celebrate the New Year? ”
"That's what I said, but I can't look at you during the New Year's Day, only for the New Year's Festival, unless you ascend to heaven, I will burn paper for you." In addition to refuting the pit, he took it and cursed me, for the sake of Song Jin and Zhao Xiaoxu's face, I could only endure it, or I would have to fly to meet him in kung fu.
"That's the case, yesterday afternoon, Song Jin came to me and said that Lao Zhao asked us to come over again in a few days, saying that there seemed to be something to say. But Song Jin said that he couldn't find you, so he could only inform me, and I would have brought the two of them to look for you early this morning. Pit Zi sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs and said.
It's no wonder that I was in the teahouse with Kaoru Mochizuki yesterday, and no one can find it. "Then you won't rush over early in the morning." I say.
"Well, I came here last night, but when I saw the lights in your house being dark, I thought you weren't home, so I went back. If we don't find you again this morning, we're going to report your disappearance to the police. The pit explained. I thought about it, I did turn off the lights for a while last night, whether he actually came or not, maybe it was really that coincidentally, I happened to turn off the lights when the pit came.
"Anyway, what did Lao Zhao research?" That's when I remembered the point of what the pit had just said.
The pit shook his head, I turned to look at Song Jin, Song Jin was silent, and finally Zhao Xiaoxu opened his mouth, "Yesterday, Dad (referring to Lao Zhao) came out of the study, holding a jade gui in his hand, very happy, as if he had got some kind of treasure, I guess so." Zhao Xiaosu's voice was crisp and gentle, this was the first time I heard her say such a long talk, and I gradually became a little intoxicated.
I see, as soon as I heard Zhao Xiaoxu say, I probably understood in my heart that Lao Zhao ran out with Yugui in his hand, definitely not because he got any treasure, but probably because he had unlocked Yugui's secret and asked us to go, just to reveal this secret to a few of us.
Speaking of which, this Yugui and Yuzhu have also been brought back from Xing'anling for a while, Yugui has always been in the hands of Lao Zhao, and Yuzhu has always been in my hands, Mochizuki Kaoru means that this jade bead records the treasure of General Wu Si, but we don't know what is written in the miniature Ba Si Pa text on Yugui,
"And when are we going to go?" I asked.
"In my opinion, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today." Zhao Xiaoxu smiled and said, "It just so happens that everyone is here today, so let's eat at my house at noon." ”
The three of us looked at each other for a moment and said hello in unison. I quickly cleaned up, after all, I went out, and I still have to pay attention to my personal image, not to mention that there is a big beauty like Zhao Xiaoxu, and I can't spoil my image in her heart. After tidying up properly, the four of us got into the Jetta car in the pit and ran all the way to Lao Zhao's house.
Lao Zhao seemed to expect us to come, and was sitting in the living room smiling and drinking tea waiting for us. We called "Brother Zhao" in unison, and Zhao Xiaoxu called Dad, and went into the next room. The three of us and Lao Zhao were still in the living room, and Lao Zhao said straight to the point: "Since the three of us are here today, then I will just say it." ”
We nodded together and waited for Lao Zhao to continue. Lao Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "I have read all the words on Yugui in the past two days, and it is a little unexpected to me. It's just that the four of us brought it out from it, and I think it's necessary for you to know the contents of it anyway. According to records, General Wu Si collected a large number of treasures, but these treasures were not his own. He hid these treasures in different places, and one of the very important treasures was in Taihang Mountain. ”
Taihang Mountain? Isn't it the hometown of the little couple who cleaned it, could it be that some jade vases that would be washed out when it rained on the mountain were part of General Wu Si's treasure, but in any case, Taihang Mountain was a place of hidden treasures. However, a question immediately emerged, Taihang Mountain was not the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, how did General Wu Si bury the treasure here?
"I noticed from the text that this is not a treasure of General Wu Si at all, but an ancient tomb of a previous dynasty. According to Yugui, when General Wu Si marched here, there was a night stationed in the Taihang Mountain, it was night, but seeing the purple light flashing behind the mountain, General Wu Si urgently ordered people to check, and people who knew feng shui said that this was where an ancient tomb in the mountain was located, and the purple light was emitted by the strange treasure in the tomb. General Wu Si immediately asked to dig up the ancient tomb to extract treasure, but after digging all night, he did not find the entrance to the ancient tomb. Because he had to march to hurry, he wrote down the location of the ancient tomb, and agreed that when he returned to Taihang Mountain in the future, he must dig up the tomb to take treasure. It's a pity that he never came back. Later, the south of the grassland became the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Yuan army easily did not dare to go south, and the ancient tomb was inadvertently preserved. But in General Wu Si's heart, the treasure of this ancient tomb still belongs to him. "Lao Zhao told us what happened.
I said in my heart that this wolf-headed monster is really greedy, and even the baby who has never met dares to say that it is his own, what a cheeky person. And after death, I still remember it, engraved on this jade gui, don't think that you can have ownership in this way. But then again, it will definitely not be bad to be able to make the big monster think about it like this.
