Chapter 10: Old Notes



Out of Kama, there is a rolling grassland outside, and at a glance, there are continuous snow-capped mountains in the extreme distance, and it is impossible to see it under the steaming mist. I carried my bag and followed Xie Yuhua and Xiuxiu behind, Xiuxiu seemed to be saying something to Xie Yuhua, looking back at me from time to time, I gritted my teeth and trotted up, but the altitude here is too high, not suitable for running at all, and when I really caught up with the two, I was already tired like a dog, holding my knees and panting.

At this time, we had come to a stream, there was no big river on the plateau, but there were many large and small streams, and the stream in front of us meandered from the far distance, gently shallow, sparkling in the sun.

I calmed down my breath, Xie Yuhua was sitting on a stone by the stream, stretching her legs and enjoying it very much, Xiuxiu asked with concern: "Brother Wu Xie, are you okay?" "Xiuxiu is the successor of the Huo family, she has focused on training since she was a child, and she is very skilled, so I naturally can't compare, but when I was asked by a girl, I still felt a little feverish, and immediately said: "No, it's okay, there's no one here, you should tell me, right?" ”

The Xie family and the Huo family, because of Mrs. Huo's affairs, have broken off relations on the surface, but the two are now together, obviously not for tourism. Xiuxiu paused, his eyes suddenly crossed my shoulder, looked behind me, I met, looked sideways, and saw that the passerby A was not far behind me, clasping his hands, looking at the three of us with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xiuxiu motioned for me to come closer, and when the three of them got together, she whispered, "Why did you come here suddenly?" ”

I pointed to Xie Yuhua and said, "There are some things to ask him." ”

Xiuxiu frowned instantly, looking at Xiaohua who was playing with her mobile phone, a picture of what she explained to me. Xie Yuhua still lowered her head and said without raising her face: "I don't know about your third uncle, but since you guess that he entered Kunlun Mountain, then I may know where he went, of course, it's just a guess." ”

I said, "Could it be that my third uncle has the same destination as yours?" Xie Yuhua raised her head and smiled, and said, "The little third master is really a lot older and spicy, so guess where our destination is?" ”

I rolled my eyes and said, "Hell, you called me Qinghai in a fucking phone call, it's not just to play dumb riddles with me, and then grind, I'll make you look good." With a wave of her fist, Xiuxiu next to her couldn't help laughing, it was the first time I had seen her smile for so long, because of Mrs. Huo's matter, I also felt very awkward when I saw her, her smile, time seemed to go back to the first time we met.

Xiuxiu said: "Brother Wu Xie, you can't beat him." ”

I immediately said: "Fighting is not only by brute force, but also by brains, and those who rely on brute force are cattle." Xie Yuhua put away his mobile phone, 'tsk', and said, "I haven't seen you for a year, it's really ......" I asked: "What?" ”

Xie Yuhua pursed her lips, looked at me with sympathetic eyes, and said, "It's really getting more and more innocent." I didn't bother to argue with him, so I didn't speak, I looked at him quietly, and Xie Yuhua said that he was bored, and then said, "Show you something." Although he said that, Xiuxiu, who really took out the things, saw that Xiuxiu was holding a notebook in her hand, and she opened the note, revealing a yellowed piece of paper.

The paper was clearly some years old, only twice the size of an adult's slap, and seemed to have been torn apart, and it was extremely irregular. It seemed to be an old hand-drawn map, with simple lines drawn by a brush, with countless branches, but the main line was the thickest, stretching all the way to the end, and a door was drawn at the end.

I was stunned the moment I saw that door, and the door was also extremely simple to draw, but the ghost face outlined on the door made me recognize it immediately - Genting Heavenly Palace, Bronze Gate!

Xiuxiu said: "This picture is what I saw when I was sorting out my grandmother's relics recently, and in addition to this picture, I also found this thing." On the old diary, the handwriting was very beautiful, and I said, "This is?" ”

Xiuxiu said, "It was my grandmother's notes from her youth, and when I found it, it was locked in a wooden box. ”

The previous record is mostly Mrs. Huo's inverted experience, Xiuxiu roughly flipped over, and suddenly broke at a third of the diary, and then turned over a few blank pieces of paper, on which handwriting was revealed.

But this is no longer a diary, but a headless record, sometimes only a few words, sometimes only a few words.

I'll follow along:

north

Changbai Mountain

Where is the Wangzang Sea?

It's messed up, it's all messed up, damn old dog Wu, you actually yin me, I hate you.

To the south?

King Lu Yan, recruiting Yin soldiers, where is the ghost seal?

It's all words without a beginning or an end, but on the second page, the opening sentence shocked me, not just because of the message, but because of the familiar handwriting.

It wasn't Mrs. Huo's handwriting, it was my grandfather's handwriting. Although my grandfather passed away, he loved antiques, calligraphy and painting, and I still treasure a lot of ink treasures left behind, so I have already memorized his handwriting.

When was this written, after marrying my grandmother? Or before getting married? How old was Grandpa back then? Why did you leave handwriting on Mrs. Huo's notebook?

It reads: Qixing Lu Palace-Wushan Box Tomb-Tianyuan Coffin.

Obviously, there are three tombs written on it, among which there is the Qixinglu Palace that I have been to, and the five characters of Wushan Box Tomb have been all used with a brush, is it ...... Grandpa: Where did they go then?

Wushan box tomb.

Wushan Box Tomb, what kind of place is that? I've never heard of these places.

I have been to the Qixing Lu Palace with the third uncle, if my grandfather has been to the Wushan Box Tomb, then, what is that Tianyuan coffin?

I looked at Xiuxiu, she nodded at me, shook the map in her hand, and said, "If that's all there is, we won't be here, you look down." ”

Below is the form of a conversation, which has time, but is strange because there are only three sentences a day.

July 21, July 21 of the year is not clear, but the dialogue is as follows:

Huo Xiangu's handwriting: Promise

My grandfather's handwriting: I don't dare

Huo Xiangu's handwriting: Then you think about it again, there is no time.

Then came July 22:

Huo Xiangu: "They can do everything." ”

Grandpa: "I'll think about it, let me think about it." ”

Huo Xiangu: "I don't want you to die, just agree." ”

What followed was more of this conversation, as if Huo Xiangu was persuading her grandfather to promise to do things for some people.

Why should their conversation be written and answered in a day, apparently they are not far away, and they can only write three sentences a day. I read it again and again, and I had a vague conjecture in my mind, so I said, "Is it ...... My grandfather and your grandmother were imprisoned for a period of time, they couldn't see each other, and they were asked to only say three words? After I finished speaking, I felt that my conjecture was a bit nonsensical.

Who knows, Xiuxiu frowned, nodded and said, "We also guessed so, what do you think, who can imprison my grandma and your grandfather?" ”

I was shocked, and I understood a little, could it be the group of people from Zhang Da Buddha? The time to read this notebook should be a long time ago, maybe it was the early days of the old nine gates, could it be said that it was the beginning of the first generation of 'Zhang Qiling' plan, and Zhang Da Buddha was coercing the old nine doors to cooperate?

Xiuxiu saw my expression and said, "After I got this notebook, I read it back and forth more than ten times, and then I found an important feature, you see ......" said, she pointed to the bottom of each sentence and said, "There is a blank space under each sentence." ”

This notebook is not the thick skin notebook that is now transversed, in that era, the kind of horizontal translating thick skin notes are mostly used by the official, ordinary people use the front turned straw paper, with a red line printed with a horizontal line, some like the format of letter paper, but at that time, the paper and pen are used by people with good family backgrounds, and the general poor peasants are not enough to eat, and it is said that they can read and write, so the paper is very economical, and this notebook, there is no sentence below the empty box, so it seems very empty.

I stretched out my finger and stroked those spaces, and after looking at them for a long time, I didn't find anything strange, and I couldn't help asking: "These spaces are a little strange, but Lao Jiumen won't save a few pieces of paper." ”

Xiuxiu looked at me, widened her eyes and said, "Are you really the grandson of Wu Laogou?" ”

I didn't understand what she meant, I was a little stunned for a while, Xie Yuhua's head, which had been looking at the phone, finally raised it, hooked the corners of her mouth and looked me up and down, and then said to Xiuxiu: "If you want to verify, it's best to test DNA." I just felt weak and said angrily, "What the hell is going on, what does it have to do with this!" ”

Xiuxiu's eyes widened, and she immediately spread her hands and said, "I just thought it was strange at the time, I couldn't figure it out after studying it alone for two months, and then I called him, and he told me how to decrypt it." Xiuxiu pointed to Xiaohua, who was playing with her phone.

Xie Yuhua continued to stretch her legs to play with her mobile phone, grinning and said: "The method of decryption was told to me by my father, my father learned it from my second uncle, my second uncle is to unravel, and my second uncle, as expected, should have been taught by Wu Sansheng, and Wu Sansheng ......"

I gestured to stop and answered, "My grandfather taught me, right?" "I was also a little depressed for a while, it seems that there is indeed something peculiar about this notebook, and it is my grandfather's mastery, but my grandson doesn't know anything, so that the little flower that spared 108,000 miles is unraveled.

Xiuxiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Your grandfather doesn't want you to mix in this business, it's not a big deal if he doesn't teach you, don't take it to heart." In the end, I had to be comforted by a girl, and I became even more depressed, and waved my hand: "It's okay, you go on." ”

Xiuxiu suddenly unzipped the down jacket and stretched her hand to her chest, I was startled, damn it, do you have to touch your chest and undress to solve the code?
