"Thank you, brother, are you the people's police or undercover agents? If I used to get information from those two people, would you be able to spend money to buy it?"

I waved her and motioned for her to leave.

"Can you?" Lian Chengbi was interested in the girl's proposal.

The girl nodded, proudly held her head high and replied: "It's not blown, as long as it's a strange man who sleeps with me, within three hours, all the secrets will be explained clearly, which is better than the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau." ”

She is not ashamed of sleeping with a strange man, but proud, which also reflects how turbulent the turbidity of society is, which has seriously affected the values of young women.

"Okay, I believe you, if you can spy on the information, I will pay in cash according to the quality. Lian Chengbi said.

"Really?" the girl asked.

Lian Chengbi slowly stretched out his right palm: "I have always said the same, if you don't believe it, high-five as an oath." ”

The girl also stretched out her right palm, and with a snap, it hit Lianchengbi's palm.

"A gentleman's word, a quick horse, I'm going!" she turned and walked away, taking out the banknotes stuffed in her stockings as she went, folding them carefully, and putting them in her satchel.

"Good, good. Lian Chengbi nodded slowly, looking in the direction of the girl's departure.

I glanced at Lian Chengbi and vaguely felt that this was inappropriate.

Sun Huazi is a scoundrel, bullying men and women is what he is best at, many waitresses engaged in massage and foot washing avoid him, for fear of being taken by him, not only can he not earn a penny, but he is also played and insulted by him in vain.

If a girl approaches him for intelligence money, once he finds out, there will be big trouble.

"Reluctant?" asked Lian Chengbi.

I was unhappy in my heart, but I didn't want to have a seizure, so I shook my head slightly: "I can't talk about being reluctant or reluctant, I just think that she is an outsider, why pull her into the game?"

The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and everyone's life is cheap. This girl only came out to sell meat, and her sin is not unto death. If something happens to her at the hands of Sun Huazi, it will be our sin.

"Why pull her in? Now, the situation is too dangerous, no matter what, it's always good to pull a few more cushions as shields. Otherwise, no matter whether there are carved arrows, bullets or traps in front of us, all of them will be beckoned to us, and even a cat with nine lives will die without life. Lian Chengbi explained.

I frowned, pulling innocents as shields has exceeded my bottom line of being a man.

"I'm sorry, Skystone. Lian Chengbi realized my displeasure, "The crisis is pressing, and I have to make a few more preparations. ”

I don't want to blame anyone, because I know that even Chengbi doesn't have a lot of options.

We took a few steps into the shadows and sat on a bench under a plane tree.

"Tianshi, nothing else, look at this. Lian Chengbi handed me his phone.

On the screen of the mobile phone is a mural, the content of the mural is very complex, there are many characters, at least a hundred and ten, all holding various cold weapons. These people are all on the left side of the frame, and in the open space on the right side is a huge monster.

The murals are Western-style paintings, and the people holding the weapons are Westerners with high noses and concave eyes, and their clothes are all from the early 20th century.

Western painting focuses on realism, and when I zoomed in on the picture, I could see the horror on everyone's faces.

I also noticed that not only did the mural have a man on the left and a monster on the right, all of which were treated as close-ups, but also a distant view in the painting, all of which were concentrated in the middle. This part of the content is mountains, springs, lakes, the mountain is the Thousand Buddha Mountain, the spring is the Baotu Spring, the lake is the Daming Lake. The scenery of the three places is all painted together, and each place is annotated with stone tablet text, with red characters on a gray background, marking the three major scenery of Jinan clearly.

So, this Western mural depicts Jinan – to be precise, an incident that happened in Jinan.

When I look at the monster again, except for the slightly shorter body, all other parts conform to the image of a "dragon". It can be said that this is a shortened and relatively "fat" dragon.

The appearance of such a Western mural tonight is really the best for the occasion, and there is no more suitable thing than to appear outside the Hongjialou Church at this moment.

"Tianshi, the picture source of this Western mural is reliable, Yue Buqun said - oh yes, my super hacker friend has no name, only Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan faction in Mr. Jin Yong's book "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Ada is Yue Buqun's domestic servant, his real surname is Lei, and he used to be a relative disciple of Jiangnan Perak Hall, and later became obsessed with Internet hacking technology, so he abandoned the gunpowder technique of Perak Hall and converted to Yue Buqun's disciple. Lian Chengbi explained.

I have the impression that when she was in the café, when she explained to Ada, she mentioned that she was going to call a person named "Yue Buqun". At that time, I didn't bother to explain, so I walked to this side of the square.

"Say the subject. I reminded with a wry smile.

Now, our biggest confusion and disadvantage is that there is too much information, and any piece of information can divert from the topic to deduce a thousand words, to a large extent, it will drown out the subject and make us become headless flies or multi-headed flies.

Yue Buqun said that this mural was obtained by him by invading the core secret server of the Yangtze River, stored in an extremely deep encrypted folder, and marked with ten indefinite top-secret symbols, which is equivalent to coexisting with the life and death of the Yangtze River, and will never be decrypted. The mural has been systematically interpreted by the text, which probably means that there are dragon-shaped monsters in Jinan, and many foreigners have joined forces, and hundreds of people have tried their best to control it, just to maintain the peaceful life of the people of Jinan. ”

When I finished speaking, I corrected the fallacy in her words: "There are a total of one hundred and eight people in the picture, not hundreds, far less than that. ”

People with a little foundation in classical Chinese literature will associate Shuibo Liangshan with one hundred and eight generals when they encounter the number "one hundred and eight". The profound influence of culture on people's minds can be seen here.

I was able to count the figures in the Western murals in the shortest possible time, and I was a little confused.

When a painter paints, any element in the painting is carefully arranged, and it will never be added or subtracted casually, which will destroy the balance of the picture and make the painter and the viewer feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, one hundred and eight people is the number set by the painter.

If I take a closer look at the cold weapons held by the foreigners in the painting, they are not Western swords, heavy swords, long ge, spears, waist knives, crescent scimitars, etc., in the Western martial arts system, but all kinds of them, and so on.

It is precisely because I have the idea of "one hundred singles and eight generals in Liangshan" in my mind, so many cold weapons are immediately associated with the weapons used by the heroes of Liangshan as soon as they pass by.

Among the heroes of Liangshan, the two more peculiar weapons are Lu Zhishen's crescent moon Zen staff and Qin Ming's mace, which are unpopular weapons and are not common in the West. However, when I searched carefully, I saw that there were two foreigners in the corner who were using these two weapons. What's even more peculiar is that the two brothers Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, the heroes of Liangshan, were both born in the mountains to hunt tigers, and the weapons they used were two-toothed hunting forks, which were also impossible to appear in Western weapons; Now from the painting, the hunting fork and the plate axe are also impressively listed.

Westerners have their own traditional weapons, and when the eight-nation coalition army entered Beijing, the Chinese had already seen British swords, Italian swords, and the like, all of which were stabbed and slashed by large road goods, lackluster.

On the contrary, a "Water Margin" is simply a display of eighteen weapons in ancient China, which brings the imagination of ordinary people, storytellers, and compilers to the extreme.

I have a feeling that this Western mural is directly related to the heroes of Liangshan in China.

In "Water Margin", the heroes of Liangshan are directly matched by the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty in Kaifeng Prefecture. In this mural, a group of people face a monster called "Dragon", so the "Dragon" and "Son of Heaven" are directly equated.

"It's a good painting, it's thought-provoking. I muttered.

Lian Chengbi did not sell the guanzi, but said bluntly: "Yue Buqun said that according to the data, this painting was once hung on the wall of the study of Chairman Han, the head of Jinan of the old government. Later, it was hung directly above the fireplace in the foyer of the church. After that, he was nowhere to be found. The people of the Yangtze River are looking for this painting, and they believe that there is a big secret hidden in the painting, a warning to mankind in the dark. Only by finding the painting and finding out the meaning of the warning can the maximum value of the painting be realized. ”

"Where is the painting? Who painted it? Where did it first come from...... There are no answers to these questions, and there can be no answers. Your hacker friend apparently doesn't realize that he's causing us a new puzzle instead of trying to answer our puzzle. "I'm a little helpless, and I'm a little angry.

Everyone is asking questions, and every time a problem is solved, a whole bunch of new problems are immediately derived.

The cycle goes on and on, and eventually it becomes a pot of paste, and I have long forgotten what the original problem was.

"They are hackers, and hackers only do things, they don't analyze problems. Lian Chengbi said.

I was speechless, and my negative anger fell silent.

Now, every step we take forward must be to solve problems, not create new ones. The more you think about it, the more you look too broad, and you will only be held back.

This Western mural has far-reaching significance, but it fell from the sky, which is tantamount to an accidental episode, and should not have appeared at this time.

Lian Chengbi reached over, held my hand, and said softly, "Angry?"

I shook my head, but instead of looking at her, I searched the square for the girl.

What is gratifying is that she really caught up with Zhang Yun and Sun Huazi, and was smoking and chatting with the two.

"I hope she can win, succeed immediately, and steal everything in the minds of Zhang and Sun. I whispered.

Lian Chengbi smiled: "Tianshi, you also agree with my decision now?"

I let out a long sigh and didn't want to answer the question.

According to the general process, after the girl catches up with Sun Huazi, the next step should be to find an hourly room and complete the final transaction.

I looked at my watch, and the time was 8:20 p.m., which was still 1 a.m. before the appointment between the surnamed Wan and Zhang and Sun.

From a distance, the girl and Sun Huazi talked happily, and after a few minutes, they reached the level of enthusiasm for throwing themselves into their arms and hugging each other.

"Tianshi, you should know the 'Technique of Exploring Li and Extracting Pearls', right?" asked Lian Chengbi.

I nodded, it was a very clever long-distance theft technique used by tomb robbers. To put it simply, it is equivalent to drilling holes to peep, and then reaching through the hole into the hook rod inlaid with a periscope lens, grabbing some small but high-value objects in the tomb.

Tomb robbers in Chinese history have studied various techniques to the extreme, and modern tomb robbers do not need to continue to study, as long as they can read from the script, and then integrate modern camera technology into it, they can stand alone in the world.

"I've implemented that kind of endoscopic technique on the old troop transport. Lian Chengbi said.

She retrieved the phone from my hand and zoomed in on the picture to look at the frightened-looking Westerners.

I didn't know what Lian Chengbi was trying to say, so I turned my head and looked at her intently.

In the shadows, her eyes shimmered like stars in the deep sky.

"The Qin family is a family of tomb robbers, and I specialized in drilling technology in college, so I only need a drilling machine, a mild steel endoscope, and a hook rod with a mesh basket to complete the complex work of several people working in a team. So, after Prime Minister Lu Cheng discovered the secret in the tunnel under the church, I chose a dark and windy night to enter the tunnel alone to drill and survey the situation in the troop transport road in advance. My grandfather and my father taught us not to fight unprepared battles. I had to know what was going on over there before I cleared the site with a massive blast. As a result, I found this-"

Lian Chengbi swiped his right index finger across the screen and showed me another picture.

"Tianshi, look. She handed her phone a second time.

Strangely, what she showed me this time was still the mysterious Western mural.

I stared at the screen for a minute, and I didn't see any difference from the previous image.

"Strange, isn't it? You'd be even more surprised if I told you why I showed you the same two paintings. Actually, when Yue Bu** gave me a picture of this painting, I was already ...... I have—" She didn't know what to say, and raised her right hand and slapped it heavily on her forehead with a crisp snap.

"Hey, what are you doing, if you have something to say, if you have something to say, say it slowly!" I immediately grabbed her hand and held it in my palm to prevent her from doing this kind of self-harming act again.

This beat, really, has already "hurt" my heart.

I looked closer, and there was already a red patch on her forehead, leaving half a palm print.

"If you have something to say, don't be like this. "I gasped in distress.

"Tianshi, you're probably the only one who cares about me now. She said quietly.

I sighed: "Miss Lian, you ...... When encountering something, if you shoot it all like this, you can't solve the problem. ”

"Disgusting, disgusting!" she burst out laughing, leaning on my shoulder, covering her mouth, and laughing wildly.

After laughing enough, she added gently: "Call me Ah Bi, don't call me Miss Lian." Growing up, only my dad could call me that, and you were the second. ”

I still held her hand and refused to let go, for fear that she would hurt myself again in a hurry.

"Okay, tell me, what's the difference between the two paintings?" I said.

"The first one was transferred to my phone from Yue Buqun's computer, and the second one was the result of the 'Technique of Exploring Li and Extracting Pearls' at the end of the passage. However, I saw two paintings in reverse chronological order, the first one I saw only tonight, and the second one I saw ten days earlier, behind the solid rock formation at the end of the road. She said.

I was stunned for a moment, and my mind spun around a few times before I understood the meaning of this passage.

"Ah Bi, do you mean to see this mural first after opening the rock formation? What about the troop road? The mural is in the troop transport road?" I asked.

Lian Chengbi thought for a moment before replying in an uncertain tone: "After the endoscope passed through the rock formation, it observed a room similar to a prayer room, with a length, width, and height of about three meters, which is equivalent to an approximately square space. The mural hangs in the middle of the left-hand wall, and there is nothing on the other faces, just a blank stone wall. I couldn't see the transport road, and further on, it was also a stone wall. I tried to punch forward with the drilling machine, and after half a meter into the rock formation, I didn't return. ”

Her descriptions were detailed, and from those words, I could imagine what the space she saw was like.

Of course, when drilling endoscopic holes, because the endoscope probe will cause distortion of the scene, it will deviate from the actual situation.

If there is still a stone wall at the end of the road, then the people surnamed Wan and others will be busy in vain.

"Are you sure there is no way forward?" I asked.

Lian Chengbi nodded: "That's right, that's right." Before I received Yue Buqun's news, I always thought that the space underground was built for this Western mural. This made me very confused, but I didn't disclose it to Prime Minister Lu Cheng. He arranged for the surnamed Wan to cut into the wall, and there must be a reason for him. ”

"This—" I really couldn't guess the riddle, and I only said two words, and there was nothing to say after that.

In the square in the distance, the girl sat on Sun Huazi's lap, her body twisted with Sun Huazi like honey.

"Don't look at it, it's not suitable for children. I pulled Lianchengbi to his feet and sat down on another bench with his back to the square.

Only pure and flawless girls will make me feel distressed, since they are pure, they should naturally not look at these filthy and pickled things.

"I'm not a little girl anymore. "Lianchengbi protested.

I looked into her eyes and sighed, "Out of sight is clean, right?"

Even when I was joking with her, the feeling of "big head" in my head was still lingering.

This Western mural is puzzling, and it is sealed in such a strange space, and the information of the Yangtze River makes it clear that the historical reputation of the painting has not been very good, and it almost brings disaster wherever it appears.

This time, King Qin will cut into the wall and meet it unexpectedly, will it bring great disaster to King Qin?
