Chapter 14: Mountains and Seas and Atlases
"Which one is Purple Hair, call me all the bartenders!" the little old man knocked on the floor with his cane, turned to his son and said, "And you, hurry up and stop the bleeding, and then call up all the surveillance from the whole night three days ago." ”
When the young man covered his nose and left, the little old man poured wine for the sixth brother with a smile: "Sixth brother, wait a minute, this is imported foreign wine, I don't know much about foreign wine, but I know that this bottle is not cheap, I hope it meets your taste." ”
"I don't like this Western horse pee. The sixth brother shook his head and looked at his watch, "Just let your baby move quickly." ”
"Huh...... The sixth brother is really fast-talking. The little old man put down the wine bottle, and took out a metal box from his pocket, which was full of cigars, "If you don't drink wine, you always smoke cigarettes, right?"
The sixth brother glanced at the cigar in the little old man's hand, smiled disdainfully, and did not speak.
"It seems that the sixth brother can't look down on my shabby thing. The little old man was not annoyed, and put away the cigarette: "I don't know what kind of immortal the sixth brother's friend is, and I want to bother you to go there yourself?"
"Ask less, do more, and maybe you can live longer. Sixth Brother said.
"Haha, I understand, I understand. The little old man took a sip of his own wine, his eyes lowered, and the last thing he wanted to see now was that his son or his son's pony boy had really stolen someone's things.
After a while, the little old man's son came back with a tablet: "I have already adjusted the monitoring, it was normal in the first half of the night that night, and the surveillance suddenly broke down in the second half of the night, in short, I didn't photograph anyone stealing." ”
The sixth brother narrowed his eyes, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
"Bastard thing!" the little old man snatched the tablet and gave his son a big-eared scraper, "Will it be bad to monitor for no reason? That's imported from West Germany, just changed for half a year!"
"I ...... I'm not lying, it's really the system that automatically shuts down in the second half of the night......" The young man burst into tears.
"Where's the purple hair?" asked the little old man.
He ...... He didn't come to work for the past two days, and he couldn't get through on the phone. The young man muttered.
The little old man breathed for a while, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and sure enough, the sixth brother stood up, tidied up his clothes, and patted the little old man's shoulder: "Yes, very good, the black shop is open to Lao Tzu's head, and it has a future." ”
"Oh, Brother Six...... No, Sixth Master!" the little old man lowered his body and said anxiously: "Where do we dare? There must be a misunderstanding here, my stupid son is too loose to control the people below, we will never dare to ......"
"Okay, before the sun rises, take the purple hair to the 3rd floor of the Xingyue Hotel and wait for me, if you can't do it, you father and son can jump into the river by yourself." The things you lost are the things that the old boss wants to collect, and compared to the value of that thing, the dozen or so clubs you opened add up to not even a hair. The sixth brother walked straight over, took off the pole dancer who had been twisting for a long time from the stage, and hugged the waist of the other party with a frightened expression: "This, I want it tonight." ”
"Xue Shao...... Xue Shao save me, I don't want to ......" The dancer shouted to her boss, that is, the young man, she is usually covered by Xue Shao here, and she is secretly his woman, because her face and figure are very good, and she is usually taken advantage of, and it is Xue Shao who helps her settle it.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's your honor that the sixth master looks down on you!" Xue Shao scolded loudly, he couldn't protect himself, how could he care about the life or death of others?
..................
An hour later, "Xue Shao" led people to find Zimao's rental house and kicked the door open violently.
There was nothing in the room except the smell of socks and a bucket of uneaten and dried instant noodles.
Yes, it's weird, it's a basement, it's not very well ventilated, but it's also so clean, a dozen or so kids are staring there, it's not like a place where people have lived, it's more like a rough house - not even the toilet, let alone the beds, tables and chairs.
"Where's Ah Huang, come here!" Xue Shao shouted.
"Boss, I'm here. "A yellow-haired man came running.
"You usually play well with that purple hair, let me ask you, have you ever been here?" Xue Shao asked.
"I've been here, I was here last week, this guy bought a second-hand PS4 and called me to come and play games. Ah Huang replied.
"Was it so clean here last week?, what about PS4?" Xue Shao asked.
"How is it possible, that purple-haired guy is very sloppy, and stinky socks are thrown everywhere. At that time, the house was full of refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines, and I wondered if he might have moved. Huang Mao replied.
"Idiot!" Xue Shao pushed Huang Mao irritably: "You even moved the toilet?"
"Boss, there are a few stinky socks here, but ......," a thin man walked over with a few torn socks on his fingertips, "but these babies have a neat incision on them, and there are no burrs at all, unlike ordinary knives can do." ”
"MD!" Xue Shao slammed his fist on the wall, which was too strange, but no matter how strange it was, the key was that the lives of their father and son could be connected to the purple hair's body.
"Boss, this toilet bowl still has a thin base left, and the cut is as smooth as a mirror, and a chainsaw can't do it so flat. The other brother said.
Xue Shao was confused, and just wanted to scold his mother, but the phone rang.
"Hey, Dad, I didn't find anyone. Xue Shao sighed as soon as he opened his mouth.
"......" was silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and no longer asked about the situation at the scene, people went to the empty house, not to mention before dawn, and gave them father and son for another 3 months, people wanted to hide, they couldn't find it, this is just to say that in the case of Longcang City, if Zimao ran to other places in Huaguo, it would really be looking for a needle in a haystack.
"Now you tell me the truth, was the surveillance really broken that night?" asked the old man.
“...... It's not bad, I wanted to clear up the relationship, the surveillance filmed, the thing was indeed stolen by purple hair, and I deleted the camera video. Xue Shao replied, "But the sixth brother is not a court, and people don't talk to us about evidence." ”
"......" the old man sighed and fell silent again.
"Otherwise, I will simply not do anything and ...... that sixth brother at night" Xue Shao thought of a crooked idea again.
"Well, how did I give birth to such a stupid bunny cub as you. The old man said in disbelief, "Do you think people are just a lone ranger......?" Forget it, I don't blame you, I haven't told you about his backstage before, besides, this time I lost what my old club wanted, we ......"
"Cut, I still don't believe it, just such a small backpack, can it be worth more than Dad's clubhouse combined?
"Alas...... Don't say it, let's go, I've already asked someone to get you an urgent visa, you go abroad as soon as possible, go to Africa, the Congo country, where I have an old acquaintance, do some small business there, you hide in him, change your name and surname, and you will be his godson in the future. The old man's voice was hoarse.
"What are you kidding? Just because a short-sighted employee stole something, he asked me to leave the country?" Xue Shao yelled loudly into his mobile phone, of course he didn't want to - he has so many properties, but they are all waiting for him to inherit it, and now the house price is still rising, and when it comes to him, each of these clubs is sky-high!
Do you want him to give up all this and run away to Africa?
"Have you forgotten how our old rivals, the family surnamed Luo, disappeared 10 years ago? Do you think that at that time, you and I had the ability to make the family evaporate directly? Don't be stubborn, let's go, I can still maneuver for you for a while...... Obedient, son. The old man hung up the phone.
"Hey, old man, what do you want to do? Hey, hey!" Xue Shao shouted loudly, and the phone had already hung up.
"Grass!" he dropped his phone and said loudly, "Brothers, come back with me!"
..................
Zhao Xu woke up, he slept very lightly, maybe because he had slept for three days and three nights in that "other world".
Of course, he didn't know that the unlucky purple hair, the purple hair that was taken away by him, because his disappearance was causing a turbulent undercurrent.
Unable to sleep, he thought about checking the literature of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" on the Internet, and remembered that his mobile phone, like his car, was "parasitized" by people, and he was still in the other world.
Li Jing had a computer in her study, Zhao Xu got out of bed, and he estimated that Li Jing should have slept at this time.
To make sure, he put on the pair of nanoglasses, because he didn't have to turn on the lights because of its night vision.
"Heat source detection" is the new function of the glasses he discovered, and through the door of the study, he did not find that there was an infrared heat source inside, that is, Li Jing should have gone back to sleep.
Zhao Xu opened the door and walked in, and found that the computer was not turned off, so he took off his glasses and put them on the host computer next to the table.
Unfortunately, although the computer is turned on and the mouse is shaking, it is on standby, and a password is required to log in.
"Really...... If you live alone, what password do you need to enter the system?" Zhao Xu complained, and after thinking about it, it was estimated that the female boss was frightened by the previous thief and added a password.
Zhao Xu, who felt bored, was about to leave, he didn't have the level to decipher other people's boot codes.
"Zizi. ”
The computer screen flickered suddenly, and then it turned on directly, revealing the main interface of the win system.
"What's the situation?" Zhao Xu was taken aback, is this some kind of supernatural phenomenon?
Then he found that the two frame legs of his glasses were actually plugged into the USB port of the computer like noodles, and after the computer was turned on, they pulled out by themselves.
"Wow!" Zhao Xu thought it was incredible, these glasses were too awesome, they could be unlocked?
He clicked on the "Qiandu" website and began to search.
Search keyword: "Bai Ze", and then he saw the entry of Qiandu, which said this:
"Bai Zetu" said: The sheep has a horn on the top, and the dragon is also killed. ”
Zhao Xu thought about it for a while, the divine beast he met in the other world that called himself Bai Ze was indeed a one-horned beast, and the hair on his body was a bit like a goat.
But the question is, why is it "Bai Zetu" and not "The Classic of Mountains and Seas"? He seems to remember that Bai Ze is in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", right?
Looking further, he knew that it was a misrepresentation of some literary works in later generations, in fact, Bai Ze was not seen in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the Qing Dynasty book "Yuanjian Class Letter" said, "There are beasts in the east looking at the mountain, the name is Bai Ze, can speak, the king is virtuous, and the Ming Dynasty is far away." The annotation of this passage is said to be from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but this passage is also found in the earlier Sancai Tuhui, but the source is not mentioned.
In that case, let's just check what is going on with "Bai Zetu".
Qiandu explains it this way:
"Judging from the literature, before the Eastern Jin Dynasty, "Bai Zetu" has been widely circulated, and this kind of literature to identify ghosts and gods can be traced back to the early Han Dynasty or even earlier, the ancient book has long been lost, Dunhuang has later generations (before and after the Sui and Tang dynasties) to supplement the continuation of the "Bai Ze Spirit Map", the end of the Qing Dynasty was destroyed and snatched away by the foreign powers, the existing fragments of two volumes, one volume in the French Library, one volume in the British Library. ”
"The Seven Signatures of the Cloud Ji Xuanyuan Benji" records: [The emperor patrols and hunts, goes east to the sea, climbs Huan Mountain, and obtains the Baize divine beast on the seashore. Able to speak, to reach the love of all things. Because of asking about the ghosts and gods in the world, since ancient times, the essence is a thing, and the wandering soul is a changer, and there are 11,520 kinds. Bai Ze said that the emperor's order was written in pictures to show the world. The emperor made a blessing to the evil to wish it. ], and there are ancient books that say: [There are saints in the world, then Bai Ze will be enshrined in the book], so it can be inferred that "Bai Zetu" is a strange book dedicated to the divine beast Bai Ze and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. ”
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the text, "Bai Zetu" is the picture, such as the two sides of the bronze jian, this is the picture and text of the ancient gods and ghosts and beasts. ”
Zhao Xu scratched his head, is it so complicated? The literary works of ancient times are really difficult to figure out, and what the hell are the two fragments that were snatched away? Can they be snatched back?
Bai Ze gave a black scroll Zhao Xu at that time, and the scroll was painted with a black ring, and said to him, "You are not a saint", Zhao Xu now understands, it turns out that people's mythical beasts generally only give saints "books", and they don't look down on "turtles" like themselves.
"A hybrid version of the Classic of Mountains and Seas and Bai Zetu? Zhao Xu stroked the black ring on his left index finger and muttered.
