"And did the antique sigil finally get fixed?" Starlight asked, expectantly.

"Maybe it's fixed, I don't know." Xizhi said. He saw Xingguang's puzzled expression, so he continued: "In view of the rules of the collecting world, when the things were delivered to Yunfu, they didn't ask me where they came from, and of course I didn't take the initiative to tell them. After about half a year, Yunfu sent someone to send the talisman back and refunded half of the repair fee. They said that because of the long-term lack of spiritual support, the card position in the rune was seriously damaged and collapsed, and it could not be completely repaired. So they only fixed a very small number of fragments within the glyph. I read it after receiving it, and found that it contained a few sentences of mining experience. It looks like a piece of work log. I didn't think much of it and just put it aside. ”

"But!" Starlight turned for the other party in his heart.

"But it wasn't long before I was approached by Colonel Zhou Yiqing, the representative of the military stationed in our company, and said that he was very fond of studying antiques, and that he had heard that I had a 5,000-year-old talisman that I had dug up from the gray star, and wanted to see it. So I gave him the recorder. He laughed when he saw it, and the look in his eyes suddenly became strange, as if he had seen through some of my tricks. At the time, I was confused.

"It wasn't until later that I showed it to another friend who was engaged in technical appraisal, and he analyzed it with a very precise professional measuring talisman. Then he told me that the internal material and structure of this talisman are in line with the talisman making process of 5,000 years ago, and there is nothing wrong with it, but its appearance has been altered. ”

"Alteration" means ......"

He said that the outer shell of the talisman had recently been artificially carved and then re-worn. I was very surprised, because this talisman looks exactly like it was when it was found on the gray star! I'm wondering......"

"Fu has been transferred by Yunfu!" Xingguang didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and preemptively said.

Keizhi laughed, and he poured the brew into Starlight's cup again, and said, "Not bad. I carefully reviewed the whole process and found that although it was hard to believe, the only possibility was that when Yunfu was repairing, he found a record of a similar age to re-carve and re-carved it, and then replaced my talisman. Yunfu, as a person who refines the talisman, it must not be difficult to find a discarded antique talisman to repair the appearance exactly like mine. What was really a bit difficult was that they found an antique recorder to record the mining log, which was not easy. ”

Starlight picked up the cup and took a sip. "It seems that Colonel Zhou thought you had deliberately created a fake to fool him, which is why he showed that expression."

"Yes." Xizhi also took a sip of the cup. "It's a hard thing for me. Presumably, the real recorder must have recorded some important information, so that Yunfu actually violated the business reputation they regarded as life, and replaced the customer's real product with a fake, and so on, and also took it as its own. Zhou Yiqing must have guessed what might be recorded in the recorder from the samples obtained by the military, so he came to me to check it under the pretext of appreciating antiques. Now, he must have thought that I had read the contents of the recorder and didn't want anyone else to know, so he made a fake deal with him.

"Alas! I can't explain it to Colonel Zhou. Because once I tell this matter, in order to maintain their reputation for thousands of years, the Yunfu will definitely deny it, and will also start a public opinion war with our Xi family. In this way, it is not a good thing for me to fight for the inheritance of the head of the family, or for our entire Xi family. However, if I don't make things clear, I'll have to take the blame for them before the military. Brother Xing, what do you think I should do? ”

Starlight thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think is in the note?" ”

"There are many possibilities. One possibility is that it records countless mineral deposit locations and has great commercial and military value. One possibility is that it contains some kind of lost talisman craft. It could also be the idea of a program, or some kind of ...... to improve cultivation quickly."

"Secrets?" Starlight couldn't help but laugh when she said the word. Starlight isn't the kind of foolish woman at the bottom who would believe in any secrets. Families like Xingfu have a family knowledge system. When he was young, Xinghui also saw the so-called authentic deeds left by his ancestors, and the experiences and knowledge described above were very simple and crude, and there were many errors.

The runic civilization of this world has developed for five or six thousand years, and the systems of dark domain, aura, talismans, programs, runes, and so on have been studied very thoroughly by people now. Generally speaking, in these aspects, the knowledge of the present people is much higher than that of the ancients. Even if some secret is really unearthed, it has some historical value at best. As for the benefits to modern people in terms of personal practice or talisman technology, it is almost unlikely.

On the other hand, Xinghui didn't believe that Xi Zhi really thought that the records would be recorded in the mine address, magic program, and cultivation secrets, this guy was probably playing dumb.

Xizhi saw Xinghui's disapproving look, so he asked, "What does Brother Xing think ......?" ”

Starlight decides to stab him. "Brother Xi, with all due respect. You are excellent in all aspects, but you still lack the influence of the deep heritage of the family. Let me remind you here that the so-called secret books, treasure scrolls and other things are a joke in the social circles of the children of the Five Heavenly Mansions. When they come into contact with you, if they find that you believe in such a thing, they may not argue with you about the authenticity and validity of the secret tips. They are likely to praise and encourage you to practice according to the instructions in the secret book, and then laugh at you behind your back as a fool. Yunfu has also been inherited for thousands of years, and it is impossible for them to believe in this kind of thing. And I don't believe they would ruin their reputation for thousands of years for money and profit. There is another possibility, I don't know if you have thought of it. ”

"What is possible?"

"It's probably not going to do people any good, it's going to be disaster. The only thing that could make the Yun family take the risk of damaging their reputation would be if it was so serious that it might kill them. Only in this way can the behavior of Tongyun Mansion be explained. The people of Yunfu repaired the talisman, looked at the contents inside, and then were frightened. If they return the talisman to you, you will read the contents, which will not only harm you, but also may cause you to be killed because you leaked the news. That's why they will find a way to make a fake charm and return it to you. ”

Xizhi frowned and thought about it. Xingguang continued, "If that's the case, not only should you not blame Yunfu for their substitution, but you should also thank them. ”

"What do you think is in the talisman?"

Xinghuijue's Xizhi was still pretending to be stupid, so he pretended to be careless and said, "I'm just imagining, what the truth is, only the people of Yunfu know now." But my guess is that it probably has something to do with some of the rumors that are circulating right now. With that, Starlight began to study Keizhi's expression carefully. Keizhi noticed his gaze and looked back at him steadily. Both of them are probing the true intentions hidden under the other's expressions, but neither seems to find anything.

Starlight broke the silence. "What were you going to do with this if I hadn't shown up?"

"I originally thought that this was Colonel Zhou Yiqing's personal behavior, so I didn't pay attention to it. I've been focusing on how to get things back from Yunfu. Now that you say that, it seems that we have to think about it in the long run. ”

Xinghui knew that Xizhi was talking nonsense, and he definitely wouldn't want to get things back from the Yun family, but he didn't say anything. "The military has not been forced, but wants to slowly put pressure on your Xifu through the murder case, which shows that the military does not dare to make a big deal about it. If the record is an unimaginable huge benefit, or a huge rune bone deposit, or an extremely high-level secret, the military has no need to have any scruples, and directly come to negotiate with you about the benefit distribution plan, and then everyone will divide it together, there is no need to hide it. The reason why the military did this shows that they are also afraid that if the contents of the recorder are leaked, it will not be good for them. ”

Speaking of which, both of them knew that they couldn't go any further. The only ones who can make the Pink Star military afraid are those ancestors on the White Jade Star.

"And ...... you mean?"

"The situation is like this. While Yunfu may have known some of the contents of the recorder, they didn't necessarily fix all of it. In other words, they probably only know a few words. And they don't know where it came from or where it comes from, so they don't necessarily fully understand what it means. In addition, they did not know that the military had intervened in the matter. What they're doing right now is finding a way to secretly verify the authenticity of the notes.

"And the military, through the study of other samples, has guessed that the content of the record is not trivial. But they didn't know that it was now in the hands of Yun Fu. We are now caught between the two, seemingly the most passive, but strategically speaking, only we can see the big picture. Since no one dares to find out, and they are all secretly showing their powers, then we have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. And we can attack when we advance, and we can defend when we retreat. Things are going well, we can add in and share the results. If things don't work out, we can withdraw to clear up the relationship, saying that we didn't know the inside story from beginning to end, but we just passed through the things in our hands for a while, and we didn't participate in it. ”

Xi Zhi stared at Xing Guang with blazing eyes and asked, "Then how should Brother Xing Jue's matter be specifically operated?" ”

"I think the truth is still on the Gray Star! Whoever makes progress on the gray star first will take the initiative. ”
