Chapter 14: The Deceased
It was not until this time that the mystery that had plagued me for many years was finally solved, and it turned out that my grandfather actually went to a place called Yashan Treasure Hall because of this letter. This place name is really strange, Treasure Hall? Does it mean a place like a Taoist temple? Where does Yashan refer to? Who does the white word refer to?
Seeing that my expression changed several times, Tofu patted me on the shoulder and said, "Lao Chen, don't worry, let's analyze and analyze it, I think, this white character, maybe it is Bai Laosi, do you think, can ordinary people please Old Man Chen?" β
I immediately retorted: "It's impossible, there is a gap in time, grandpa was close to sixty years old when he left, if Bai Laosi was still alive at that time, he would be in his nineties, an old man in his nineties, what else can he toss?" β
Tofu touched his chin and said, "Could it be that this white character is just a coincidence?" β
I thought about it, and I could only shake my head, but one thing is certain, the reason why grandpa went to this place called Lishan Treasure Hall must be some extremely important clues, because in his old age, grandpa was thinking about the curse of the ghost face, and his ** for money and material things was already very low, so he couldn't go to that place for wealth.
And after the grandfather went, he never came back, and it is likely that he has ......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a deep breath, Tofu stared at me, and said, "What are you going to do next?" I didn't answer, but Tofu knew my temper very well and said, "Are you planning to go to the Yashan Treasure Palace?" β
"Hmm."
Tofu said: "But do you know where this place is? β
"Gotta check it slowly." I have never heard of this place, and I don't have a computer at hand at the moment, so I quickly took out my mobile phone, and now it is all smartphones. In the dim underground secret room, the signal and network are very bad, and it took a long time to jump before a web link appeared, and I got together with Tofu's two heads, staring at the palm-sized mobile phone screen and looking down, and what jumped out of it was some irrelevant information.
Tofu immediately said: "Now the Internet is so developed, as long as there is this place name, it will definitely be able to search out, I think, this Yashan Treasure Palace, eighty percent is just another name, let's figure out the guΓ² network check, is there no play, what to do?" β
I thought about it for a while and said, "This place is almost touched, let's go back to Shenzhen tomorrow, perhaps, we have to use some Taoist connections." β
Tofu gestured to the coffin with his eyes and said, "What about the things inside?" β
I thought about it, this old house is no longer safe, this time, I don't know when I can come back, what if another villager comes in to pick up the leak, accidentally breaks in, and opens the coffin? Thinking of this, I said to Tofu: "It's not safe to leave it like this, let's just dig a pit and bury the contents with the coffin." "Just do it, Tofu and I leaned on a shovel and a short-handled hoe and began to dig a pit, and we were busy until sunset, and then buried the coffin. This time I took only four things, my grandfather's stack of photographs, notes, throwing knives, and the parchment scroll with the map copied on it.
Although I came out of the house with Tofu dust, the old house was already full of dust, so it did not arouse suspicion, and the next morning, Tofu and I said goodbye to the villagers and embarked on the way back, all the way without saying a word, and arrived in Shenzhen along the way.
It was already close to night in Shenzhen, and as soon as I stepped into the store with my front foot, the one-eyed dragon followed with my hind foot and said; "Boss, you're back, I need you to get an idea."
The things in the shop pΓΉ can be dealt with by the one-eyed dragon, I was a little strange and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Tofu covered his belly and said, "Let's talk about something while eating, wait any longer, I should be hungry." β
I was angry and funny, and said, "Eat, eat, eat, what do you know besides eating, you deserve to starve to death, forget it, let's eat first." We put down our bags, washed up casually, packed up, and headed for a barbecue restaurant not far away. It was too late, the tourists had already dispersed, and the store was deserted. We ordered some food, roasted it, and heard the one-eyed dragon say, "Three days ago, a girl came to you, put down something, and left." β
"Girl?" Tofu chewed the roast lamb slices and said, "Isn't Chang Piao beautiful, how tall is it, how much is the measurements, are you married?" β
The one-eyed dragon choked for a moment and said: "Very beautiful, big breasts and big buttocks, the waist is so thin that people want to pinch it, a pair of long legs are white and tender, as for whether it is married, then I don't know." β
When Tofu heard this, he looked me up and down and said, "Lao Chen, are you going out to mess around again?" β
I slapped him directly on the head and said, "What nonsense, I've been as busy as my grandson lately, do I have time to around?" Besides, am I the kind of person who is irresponsible? After a pause, I asked the one-eyed dragon, "What is the name of that woman, and what is she left behind?" β
The one-eyed dragon said: "She didn't say anything, she left something and left, she said that she would come to you after a while, I saw that thing, it is a good thing, but I don't know whether to stay or not, you have to call the shots." β
Tofu said: "Co-authored that thing is given away for free?" Don't be in vain, of course you have to stay, what can make you say good, it's definitely not bad, what is it? β
The one-eyed dragon paused, took a sip of wine, and said, "It's a strange Buddha statue, I don't recognize it, it's very uncomfortable to look at, but it's an old thing." β
Quirky Buddha statues? And something that even the one-eyed dragon doesn't recognize?
When the one-eyed dragon saw that I didn't answer, he said, "I'm sorry for the owner, I'm good at the rest, but I'm really not good at religious things, I can't do this, it's up to you." "I said in my heart, when I went out, there was a beautiful woman who gave me antiques, could it be Gu Wenmin? No, Gu Wenmin is not a big chest and a big ass.
Thinking of this, I said, "Eat first, and I'll go back and have a look after eating." β
The three of them put down their conversations, and threw off their cheeks to eat and drink, until about nine o'clock in the evening, when they returned to the shop, and the one-eyed dragon took it out. The thing was put into a mahogany box by the one-eyed dragon. About the antique box, in fact, there is also exquisite, there is a way is old and strange, the more antiquities in the last year, the easier it is to have unclean things, especially from the mushrooms poured out of the artifact, there may be some ancient viruses, peach wood fragrance, has the effect of warding off evil and removing obstacles, so people who believe in superstition, antiques to peach storage is better, at the beginning of the store, I deliberately developed a batch of different sizes and models of peach wood boxes.
Opening the wooden box, I immediately saw the Buddha statue that the one-eyed dragon was talking about, and if it weren't for the prayer cap on its head, I even wondered if it was a Buddha statue at all. This Buddha statue is about the size of a person's palm, the body is thin, sitting cross-legged, holding a snake-like creature in the left hand, holding a human head in the right hand and sending it to the mouth, the eyes are slightly closed, the expression is peaceful, it looks kind and kind, but with the action of cannibalism, it looks a little weird.
Tofu was shocked and said, "What kind of thing, how can you send such a thing, it looks uncomfortable." β
I've never seen such a thing in the image.,But it's really an antiquity.,Although it looks weird.,But we open an antique shop.,Collecting some weird things is also in the normal range.,I'm more curious.,It's the woman that the one-eyed dragon said.,Who is it? It was late at night, and I put away my things, and I didn't intend to dwell on them anymore, so I put them in a peach box, and said in my heart: Since the woman said that she would come to me again in the next two days, then it will be clear when we meet.
In the next few days, I didn't care about that thing anymore, but contacted Zhen Rui's side, this time, Zhen Rui's side quickly got in touch, and his voice came from the phone, lukewarm, low and steady: "Say it." β
I said, "What did you encounter when you went to Sichuan, did Lu Su find it?" Did you get the stuff back? β
Zhen Rui said: "This matter is a long story, I have a chance to tell you, I have a lot of things to deal with during this time, let's make an appointment to meet when the time comes, what else is there?" β
I couldn't help frowning, knowing that Zhen Rui's words were suspected of shirking, but this person was not a master to be messed with, and I didn't want to tear my face with him, so I changed the topic and said: "Okay, when the time comes, let's meet, by the way, I want to ask you something, do you know the place of the Yashan Treasure Palace?" β
"Yashan Treasure Palace?" Zhen Rui's lukewarm tone revealed a hint of surprise, and said, "Of course I know, this is the legendary treasure hall located under the Yellow Spring. β
I was speechless for a moment.
The treasure hall under the Yellow Spring?
Obviously, the Lishan Treasure Hall that Zhen Rui said is not the same place as the Yashan Treasure Hall where his grandfather went, and it seems that he doesn't know about it. However, these two have the same name, and the Yashan Treasure Hall is where the underworld is located, which suddenly becomes even more strange.
After hanging up the phone, I sat down in my chair and thought about my next steps.
Although I don't want to admit it, but grandpa must have been in danger in the Lishan Treasure Palace, I have to find that place, one to bring out grandpa's bones, and the other is to figure out the secret of the Yashan Treasure Palace, what attracted grandpa to the past? Since it is not a Saturday and Sunday, there are fewer tourists, and on the antique bluestone road outside the store, a few obese foreign tourists wander around, and the one-eyed dragon goes outside, ready to search around the antique city to see if he can pick up any leaks.
Tofu made a cup of tea, dozed off with a book of body paintings on his face, and on the cover, a woman with her hair coiled for an inch looked at me in the air.
I was a little dumbfounded, and said that this damn tofu, people who don't know still think that I buy pornographic books in this store, and immediately walked over, bent down and stretched out his hand, ready to take down the book covering his face, at this moment, a soft voice suddenly appeared behind me: "Why are you still with him." β
