Chapter Seventy-Five: The Tan Family's Secret Text
I greeted the others, Shi Tao came over and carried the dead body to the side with me, next to the corpse in addition to the short knife we originally found, behind the corpse, there is also a short and delicate carving knife, it seems that this person should have a hobby of carving before his death, and fortunately, he was able to leave us some textual things, hoping to provide us with valuable clues.
We shone the flashlight on the stone platform behind the corpse, but unexpectedly found that I didn't know those words at all, each word was intermittently incomplete, and the surface of the stone platform was very smooth, and the flashlight light had a strong reflection on it, and it was even more difficult to make out the handwriting on it.
I turned my head to the side and looked at the handwriting, which lighted off the reflection of light, but was still unable to read the words due to the angle.
Shi Tao and Kong Xue also tried, but all of them returned in vain.
Kong Xue frowned, "This is too urgent, there are words but you can't read them!" ”
And I also watched it quite depressed, this feeling is like a thirsty mouth is about to smoke, and I got a cup of hot water that has just been boiled, the uncomfortable feeling that I want to drink but can't drink in my mouth, the more I can't drink, the more thirsty I feel, it's really a little crazy!
If it weren't for Kong Xue beside me, I would have wanted to scold!
Although Shi Tao was calmer than us, his face was also full of anxiety.
Only the second uncle squatted behind us, not helping us, nor looking at the words on it, but concentrating on studying the dead body on the ground.
I stood up and walked next to my second uncle, "Second uncle, what are you doing with your old and unconventional play?" Go and see what's written on it! ”
The second uncle glanced back at the handwriting on the stone platform and said, "That's it, I don't have to look at it carefully!" ”
Hearing the second uncle say this, my heart moved, has the second uncle reached the level of hearing and reciting, and never forgetting? But why don't I believe it!
So I opened my mouth and asked, "Second uncle, then tell me, what is written on it?" ”
The second uncle looked at me suspiciously, "What is written?" ”
I pointed to the stone platform, "Just those handwriting of yours on the stone platform!" Second uncle, your Alzheimer's disease is ahead of schedule! ”
The second uncle glared at me, "you kid and talk nonsense!" ”
I hurriedly urged, "Second uncle, just tell me what is written on it, didn't you say that you don't need to read it carefully?" ”
The second uncle shook his head helplessly, "You misunderstood me, I mean, I don't have to read the words on it carefully, because I can't see it at all!" ”
I'll go! I stood up at once. If it weren't for the fear that my nephew would beat my uncle and be easily struck by lightning, I really wanted to give this old man a kick!
But looking at the second uncle's appearance, he should have a way, I had to resist the urge to urgently use the shadowless feet in Foshan, and patiently said to the second uncle: "Okay, second uncle, don't be joking, I know that you are well-informed, there must be a way, you hurry up and give us some advice!" ”
The second uncle smiled slightly, "Hey, your attitude is right, be humble if you want knowledge!" ”
"Okay, okay, I was wrong! Master Zhuo, hurry up! As I was talking, Kong Xue and Shi Tao also walked over and looked at the second uncle curiously.
The second uncle put his hand into the bag of the dead body, and said while rummaging: "You know that these four families have different abilities and have their own merits. Speaking of this Tan family, they are quite good at the meticulous work of cracking the news of the mechanism! The Tan family is a serious southern way, and they are careful and cautious. Therefore, these words on the stone platform must have some secrets, and they may not be easily revealed. Therefore, it can only be shown to the Tan family who are familiar with the doorway. ”
Kong Xue was a little surprised and said, "What should I do then?" We don't know the Tan family's methods! ”
The second uncle smiled, "Not necessarily only the people of the Tan family know their methods!" ”
I looked at the second uncle in surprise, "Second uncle, do you know the Tan family's method of hiding information?" ”
The second uncle nodded quietly, his hand had been groping for something in the bag of the dead corpse, and his mouth was still muttering, "It shouldn't be, there should be...... Ay! Got it! ”
As he spoke, the second uncle took out half a candle and a round stick-shaped object from the corpse's bag.
"The Tan family hides the crown of the Quartet, half a candle and a medicine stick." The second uncle said to himself, "Since ancient times, the information network of the Tan family among the four major families is the most complete and the most rigorous, because he has special means, so the Tan family has a lot of precious information in his hands, and a considerable part of the dragon vein treasure cave is the first to get the news from the Tan family. The other three major families would even buy news from the Tan family. ”
"This Tan family is so powerful!" I looked at the things in my second uncle's hand, "But it seems that this is nothing special," I took the round stick-shaped object in my second uncle's hand, "Is this the so-called medicine stick?" It looks like moxibustion! ”
The second uncle snatched the medicine stick back from my hand and said, "Don't underestimate the Tan family, the Tan family is good at organ news and information transmission, which was an extremely important means back then. In fact, not only these, the Tan family also has a specialty, that is, medical skills! ”
"Healing?" I asked curiously, "How does it compare to our Zhuo family?" ”
The second uncle smiled, "Our family is a halfway monk, and the Tan family is the orthodox ancestor!" It's really better than us, not a little bit. ”
The second uncle's words surprised me, on weekdays, he is extremely respectful and confident in himself and his family's medical skills, if anyone doubts two sentences, he will definitely have to fight with others. I didn't expect that today, I would take the initiative to bow down to the Tan family's medical skills, which surprised me very much, could it be that the second uncle and the Tan family only have any intersections?
The second uncle raised the medicine stick in his hand, "Okay, now I'll show you the methods of the Tan family." With that, the second uncle walked to the edge of the stone platform and squatted down, and then lit the candle, and the red flames suddenly rose.
When I looked at it, sure enough, although the light of this candle is not as bright as the light of the flashlight, but in this environment, it is used to observe the handwriting on the stone platform, which is really stronger than the flashlight, I don't know how much! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but admire two sentences.
The second uncle looked at me, "What is this, the most important thing in this technique is this medicine stick," said the second uncle put the round stick-shaped medicine stick in his hand on the flame of the candle, "The ingredients of this medicine stick are ever-changing, if you don't know the rules, you will be tired to death, you will not be worthy!" Now we just hope that this brother who carved the lettering will not move too much! Otherwise, this medicine stick of his own may not be effective! ”
I said, "Probably not, he's dying and he's still in the mood for charade!" ”
"I hope so!" The second uncle said, and gradually the medicine stick in the second uncle's hand emitted wisps of green smoke under the baking of the candle.
The four of us had eight eyes, staring at the handwriting on the stone platform in front of us.
Suddenly, Kong Xue shouted, "There you have it!" ”
A magical scene happened in front of our eyes, the original messy and incomplete handwriting, gradually became complete and orderly, with the whole text record carved into our eyes now, we were all stunned, which reminded me of the wartime, the story of our party's underground workers using rice soup to transmit intelligence, which made me feel a little inexplicably excited!
After witnessing this moment of miracle, we finally came to our senses, raised the candle in our hands and began to look at the words on the stone platform.
From these words, it can be seen that the person who left the record must have been full of wealth before his death. The whole text is concise and concise, but every sentence can be said to the point, which is mixed with a large number of ancient Chinese and some Sichuan dialects.
In this way of recording, if it weren't for the fact that the second uncle has been helping us translate into the vernacular, otherwise even if we restore the form of the text, we can't understand the meaning, and I now know what it means to use the book to hate less! I can't help but sigh that the knowledge involved in this incident is too wide, and even the knowledge of dialects must be understood.
Twenty years ago, the Tan family traveled from Sichuan to Urumqi to join the others, and then led a guide to the depths of the desert. At first everything went well, until they came to the ancient city of Pamigar.
When we see this, we don't know where the so-called ancient city of Pamigar is? Obviously, those people back then knew a lot more than we do!
But even then, more information, more people, still failed to succeed and suffered heavy losses. On the other hand, we don't have much information today, and there are only four people so far, so if you calculate it, I'm afraid that it is not enough for a few of us to die once!
I couldn't help but worry, so I kept reading......
In the ancient city of Pamigar, those people found a stone box, this stone box is very strange, the whole body is flat without any patterns. The stone box was tightly closed and could not be opened, but there was no keyhole or locking device on the stone box.
Everyone couldn't figure out how such a stone box should be opened, or whether those people back then didn't intend to let this stone box open again! Could it be that there is a demon locked in this stone box, and once opened, it will endanger the world? All kinds of speculation are coming!
But one thing is certain, that is, inside this stone box, there must be a huge secret! Some people tried to open it, but all failed. Someone proposed to smash it open, but immediately some people stood up against it, this stone box is so bizarre, there must be a precautionary device in it, once it is forcibly destroyed, I am afraid that the contents will be destroyed together!
In the end, the task of opening the stone box was handed over to the Tan family, everyone knew the ability of the Tan family, if the Tan family was helpless against this stone box, then they could only use violence to smash it open! As for whether the contents can be preserved, it can only depend on the will of God!
However, the Tan family did not disappoint everyone, and in the middle of the night, with a somewhat miserable scream, the stone box was actually opened!
