Chapter XVII

First of all, I have already investigated in my hometown, and although I have found a map, the map was obtained from the relics of the Queen of the Elephants, so the map is not in the hands of my grandfather, so only the statement remains.

Just imagine, before Chen Ci died, he met Zhao Erye, and asked Zhao Erye to hand over something to my grandfather, but this thing was swallowed privately.

When I met with Zhao Erye for the last time, when I asked Zhao Erye for an object, he said that what Chen Ci handed over to him was an ancient silk book with pictures and words, and he didn't understand the content and patterns in it.

I always thought that the silk book of Chen Ci was brought out of the tomb of the Giant Ear King, but now that I think about it, it is unlikely from the time point of view, because if it was the silk book brought out from the tomb of the Giant Ear King, it would be impossible for my grandfather to know the storage of the silk book.

I think of Si Taiping, according to Si Taiping's description, during the time he followed Chenci, he used to follow Chenci to many places, Chenci seemed to be looking for something, but he never found anything. Later, Chen Ci suddenly introduced Si Taiping to a feng shui master. On the surface, Chen Ci may have been moved by Si Taiping's persistence, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that Chen Ci has discovered something and wants to avoid people's eyes, so he supports Si Taiping's appearance.

Could it be that the silk book map was obtained by Chen Ci some time after the peace of the branch Kaisi?

After getting the silk book map, he entered the tomb of the Giant Ear King, but was eventually wounded and died, from this point of view, the content of that map should not be the map of the Giant Ear King's tomb.

This qiē seems to be inextricably linked, but an astonishing coincidence is: Second Master Zhao told me that the silk book was lost, and not long after we returned from Haidou, the map that had been hidden by Old Man Zhao for more than 20 years was lost.

This qiē is simply too much of a coincidence.

Why was the map lost when we needed it? How did the dumb man know that Chen Ci had a map in his hand? What exactly does that map mean to a dumb person? What's hidden in the map?

What places did you go to in those years?

According to Lu Su's current statement, he participated in the operation of the Yashan Treasure Hall back then, mainly for the corpse lamp, but who knew that he was handed over by his grandfather, and the matter failed, and Lu Su could only make another plan. In the process, he investigated his grandfather's identity, thus discovering the source of the Chen family's curse, so he began to study shamanic culture, and even stole the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhai Stone because of this. Now, because of the appearance of mute, he has found me and Tofu.

If there were no dumb people, Lu Su probably wouldn't have had any more interaction with me.

The mute wants to find Chen Ci's body, and Chen Ci's death is an extremely secret thing, his real burial place, it is estimated that only me and Zhao Erye know, now, they want to find the map, naturally they will find me.

But now, I am almost certain that the extremely important thing that Chen entrusted to Zhao Erye to transfer to our Chen family has disappeared.

I couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's late." Immediately afterwards, I combined the theft of Zhao Erye's silk book with my own speculation and explained to Lu Su, in fact, I also had a plan in my heart. No matter what happened before, with Lu Su's big net, the things in Zhao Erye's hands, whether they are real or fake, can be found out by Lu Su.

Now I have a lot of questions on my mind:

First: How did the mute know about the man? How did he know about the map?

Second: What secrets are hidden in the disappearing silk book?

Third: Who is Bai Ye? He has disappeared for fourteen years, is he also dead? Why did Bai Ye and Zhen Dong disappear without a trace after they came out of the Lishan Treasure Palace? Does it have something to do with their dialogue with 'themselves'?

Fourth: What is the purpose of the lamp that my grandfather gave me before he died? He also asked me to save people, who did he save? Is it to use the lamp in my hand to save the Chen? However, hasn't the corpse lamp already been used by Grandpa himself?

Fifth: Grandpa asked me to find Bai Ye, is there any agreement between him and Bai Ye?

This qiē is like a chaotic quagmire, and those of us who have never known each other have gathered together because of this.

This quagmire is the source of the curse, and the whistling on the shoulders of the Dumb is unclear, and I may have to see him to figure it out. As for Lu Su, he came for the so-called 'key', gentle and elegant, but ambitious.

It's not a good thing for us to get together.

After listening to me talk about the theft of the silk book, Lu Su squinted his eyes and said gently: "Leave this matter to me to confirm, it is good to be able to find the silk book, if you can't find it......" If you can't find it, there are many possibilities, which shows that we still have an invisible and powerful opponent hidden.

This is the end of the topic. Lu Su brought a lot of information this time, which solved a lot of my doubts, but also brought out some new questions.

It was not too early at this time, he looked at the night outside the window, and said: "The purpose of my visit this time was originally to hope that you could go with us to find the whereabouts of Chen Ci, but now it seems that the situation has changed a little, I will investigate the matter of Second Master Zhao first, and contact you when the time comes." Then he smiled slightly, turned his head and asked Tofu: "What do you like to eat, I'll bring it to you next time." ”

Tofu had a little more heart this time, and finally didn't embarrass me, and said: "Don't think that you can buy me with a little food, I will always remember what you did to Wei Nanjing, hurry up and leave, I will be upset when I see you." ”

Lu Su smiled, didn't say anything, there was no anger on his face, as if he thought he was a kind big brother, patted Tofu's shoulder, and went downstairs to leave.

It was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, and Tofu and I were completely sleepy, and the two of us sat on the sofa staring wide-eyed.

Tofu couldn't hold his breath, paused, and said, "Lao Chen, what are your plans for this?" ”

At the beginning, Old Man Zhao said that he had lost something, and I didn't plan to give up, but then I went back to my hometown to follow the clues left by my grandfather, and then went to the Yashan Treasure Palace, which was delayed. Now it's okay to have Lu Su to take the lead, so he said: "That dumb man must have a deep relationship with our Chen family, I have to meet with him and find out in person." ”

Tofu said, "But where is the dumb man now?" Damn, I should have left a phone number for Lu Su just now. "It's too late to think about it at this time, so I can only wait for Lu Su to show up. Zhao Erye's Dengfeng Building is located in the northwest of the antique city, and the location of our shop is in the southeast, diagonally, far away, and the old man Zhao does not often go to the store on weekdays, so we have no contacts.

Lu Su left, but there was no news for two days in a row, life in the shop was as usual, sometimes he would talk to Gu Da Meinu on the phone for a while, and the three people in the shop were busy with their own things, and the day was very lively. On the afternoon of the third day, Tofu and the one-eyed dragon went out to the stall to see if they could 'pick up' some good goods, and I studied the work notes left by my grandfather in the shop, and I remembered most of the contents of the work notes, except for some ancient texts that my grandfather had copied from elsewhere, which seemed difficult and obscure, and it was difficult to figure out for a while.

I was watching with relish, and suddenly a crisp voice came from the shop: "Boss, don't greet customers." "To do this business, you really don't need to greet guests, there are three kinds of antique shops, the first is to see the strange and lively, no money, will not buy the kind, this kind of people do not need to greet, because no matter how much they greet will not buy; The second type is the rich man who has no eyesight, but wants to buy antiques and go back to save face, this kind of person, the more attentive you entertain, the more he thinks you are fooling him, you have to wait for him to look around, take the initiative to inquire before receiving; The third is the connoisseur, who only needs a finger to see what goods, and both sides will understand.

When I heard this voice, I thought it was a strange guest, but when I looked up, I found that it was Dou Lin.

I frowned, and said to myself, why is this girl here?

She sat down on the stool next to me uninvited, looked around, and said, "My cousin." ”

I said, "It's out." "I don't like it, but I can't kick people out.

She smiled when she heard this, and said, "Thank you last time, my brother's illness has also recovered, and I will invite you to dinner today." ”

I said, "It's a gesture, no." ”

She was a little dissatisfied, and her brutal nature was revealed, and she said, "Hey, why are you like this, Miss Ben invited you to dinner, and you look so cold!" ”

I put the notebook away, glanced at her, and said lightly: "Enthusiasm depends on people." ”

The little girl was arrogant, probably never treated like this, and blushed for a while, but I was telling the truth, Dou Lin has nothing to do with me, I really don't need to waste time and enthusiasm on her.

At this moment, Tofu and the one-eyed dragon hooked their shoulders, and one came back with an ice cream, and it was normal to eat ice cream in Shenzhen in October, and the tofu stuffed one to me, saying, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, or it will melt." Then when he saw Dou Lin, he was also stunned and said, "Linlin, why are you here?" ”

As soon as Dou Lin put on the tofu, her expression was ugly, and she stomped her feet and left. Tofu was inexplicable, touched his head and said, "Why did she come, did she come to see me?" ”

The one-eyed dragon said, "Come on, can't you see it, it's here to see the master." ”

Tofu looked me up and down a few times, pursed his lips, and said angrily: "Are women blind now, why do they all like this kind of tone, with a cold face, like others owe you money...... What's good. ”

The one-eyed dragon said: "You don't understand, it's popular to be in charge now, called the handsome guy of the iceberg." ”

Hearing this, Tofu thought about it, suddenly sank his face, followed my example, and said coldly: "Shut up, bring me the account book." ”

The one-eyed dragon chuckled twice and handed over a book of human figures.

Tofu said angrily: "I'm talking about the ledger!" ”

The one-eyed dragon said, "If you want to learn how to be in charge, you should lick the ice cream off your mouth first...... Haha, I took a picture of it, Weibo. Tofu immediately went to grab the phone and said angrily: "Delete it, otherwise I will make your other eye gone." "The two chased after each other, and the shops on the whole street were the most lively in our place.
