Chapter 8 [Yushen Monument] (II)

Luo Lie didn't have the ability to predict the future, of course he couldn't guess what was inside, Luo Xingmu didn't expect him to guess, and said with a smile: "It's all Arabic numerals, only there is a small seal at the end, I was stunned, the first thought was that the old man deliberately teased me, I wanted to tear up the letter, but after thinking about it, with his stereotypical temperament, he shouldn't do such a boring thing, so I put the letter away again."

Later, I went to Lianghu to join the army, and fought with the army for several years, and went to many places in the southern and northern wars, and since then, I have never seen your grandfather again. Until the establishment of the Republic of China, because I had fought with the Qing army against the revolutionary army in the past, I was worried about being liquidated, so I planned to go to Nanyang to hide for a few years, and then come back after the situation was stable. But before I could leave, I heard the news of your grandfather's suicide. ”

Luo Lie's heart was gloomy, when his grandfather committed suicide, he was still studying on the other side of the ocean, and no one informed him of the bad news at that time, until he returned to China, he didn't know that the old man had already passed away, this incident made him regret it so far, in fact, he was not notified to rush back to help the spirit to send the end is also the old man's own meaning, after Luo Lie returned to China, he specially guarded the old man's spirit for three months, which can be regarded as some reward for his grandfather's nurturing grace.

Luo Xingmu said: "At the moment of boarding, I still gave up the idea of leaving and decided to return to my hometown, not because of the love between father and son for his funeral, but that the letter has always become a lingering mystery in my heart, and I have never been able to figure out why he left those strange numbers, whether there is any special meaning in it."

When I returned to my hometown, the old man has been buried in the ground, I did not alarm anyone, in fact, no one knew that he had a son like me, came to his tomb to worship, I took out the letter, found that the tombstone actually has the same font of the wind word, because the tombstone is the standard Han Li, and only this one wind word is a small seal, so it is particularly eye-catching, looking at the tombstone on the text, I suddenly remembered the letter that the old man gave me back then, so it will be arranged according to the number on the letter, one by one the words on the tombstone found out, through the through, there is an address hidden, I found the place where the old man buried things according to the address aboveFrom there, I found a box of silver ingots, and a house deed, and I followed the guidance of the house deed to Mukden. ”

Luo Lie said: "The deed is here?"

Luo Xingmu nodded and said: "This is it, the old man should be a master who is good at setting puzzles, I came here, and according to the words I cracked, I found the secret room here, and found some antiques in it, all dynasties and dynasties, most of them are worthless, although I am a layman, I can also see that these things are all Ming weapons, most of them come from tombs, I only understand that the old man should have started from touching gold when he was young." ”

Touching the gold and fighting is just a saying on the rivers and lakes, to put it bluntly, it is a tomb robbery and grave digging, but it is not a fair and honest business, Luo Lie was also taken aback, no matter what, he can't associate the grandfather who is not smiling, being upright, or the grandfather of the former Qingju and the tomb robbery. But his grandfather has already passed away, and even though Luo Xingmu, as his biological son, has a grudge in his heart, there seems to be no need to slander him now.

Luo Xingmu said: "There are not many valuable things in the secret room, I found a map, thinking that the map might be the old man's treasure map, so I lived here, I have no other skills, only know some carpenter work, decided to open a coffin shop, one can make money to make a living, and the other is to hide my identity and carefully search this house." The text on the map is very strange, although I have read a few books, but still do not recognize a word, I still draw a gourd and copy a few, go to Manchuria University to find someone to ask for advice, find a few well-known professors, some say it is oracle bone inscription, some say it is ancient Khitan script, and some people simply say that it is a foreign language, the common thing is that everyone does not recognize it, not a word is recognized. ”

Luo Lie was stunned, since the death of his mother, he was taken over by his grandfather, in the years when his grandfather was around, his grandfather was not only responsible for teaching him calligraphy in addition to asking someone to teach him to read, and there was a secret only their grandfather and grandson knew, grandfather mastered an extremely rare font, this font was derived from the Dayu inscription. Luo Hunt is also later to know, Yu inscription is for Yu to control the water song of the virtue of carving, the text on it is simple and weird, no one can interpret one, now the well-known Yu God tablet is located in Yuelu Mountain, is the Great Song Dynasty Jiading period reconstruction, has long ceased to be the original appearance. Luo Lie once went to Yuelu Mountain to visit, and the words that his grandfather taught him were completely different, and it can be said that the set of fonts that his grandfather handed him was even more esoteric and difficult to understand.

Luo Xingmu said: "I am persistent by nature, since no one in Fengtian can interpret it, I will go to other places to find help from others." So I went to Peking and found Mr. Ma Boxuan, a professor of archaeology at Yenching University, who can be called the first person to write ancient characters today, and has a deep knowledge of ancient characters in all dynasties, especially oracle bone inscriptions. I didn't want to expose the secret easily, so I shuffled the words described and brought them to him, and after he read it, he was like a treasure, and he had always been calm, and he danced like a child with excitement, and he said that this was probably Gu Xiawen!" The writings of the Xia Dynasty, he asked me where I got these words, if I could find the original of these words, perhaps I could greatly push forward the recorded history of China, and it would be the greatest discovery for China and the history of civilization for the whole world. ”

Luo Lie nodded, Luo Xingmu is not exaggerating on this point, after all, China's current recorded history still starts from Yin Shang, and the history before the Xia Dynasty has always lacked convincing evidence, if the evidence of the Xia Dynasty's writing can be found, then it will become the greatest discovery in the history of archaeology. Could it be that the text that grandpa taught him was Xia Wen?

Luo Xingmu said: "Of course I won't easily divulge this secret to him, just ask him to help decipher those words." Ma Boxuan is indeed a great talent in the world, but despite this, it took him three months to help me crack three words, in the process he repeatedly begged me to show him the original, I began to realize the importance of these things, so I insisted that there was no original, Ma Boxuan was rejected by me several times, and he did not mention it again. It is impossible for me to stay in Beiping for a long time, and I agreed to see Ma Boxuan again in half a year, and I didn't expect that I would be followed by him when I returned to Fengtian. ”

Luo Lie smiled dumbly, if people are obsessed with something, they tend to make irrational moves, even if they are scholars like Ma Boxuan, if they are not too persistent, how can they do things with his high and high spirits.

Luo Xingmu said: "I found him when I got off the train, Ma Boxuan is a nerd who loves face, after I broke it, he was ashamed and embarrassed, he confessed to me that the words I showed him were probably related to the Yushen Monument." ”

Luo Lie deliberately said: "Yushen Monument? I have been there, isn't it the one on Yuelu Mountain? Why doesn't he go to see the real thing?

Luo Xingmu's face showed a little disdain: "The Yushen Monument you mentioned was rebuilt during the Jiading period of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not a genuine work at all. Between the words, he still admired Ma Boxuan, and he didn't expect that Dayu's inscription was not a secret to the nephew in front of him.

Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, he thought that his grandfather was just a depressed old man, but he didn't think that there was another side of his old man that few people knew, so the numbers in the letter to Luo Xingmu at the beginning, as well as the ancient characters that he taught him in the past, all had his intentions.

Luo Xingmu said: "I reached an agreement with Ma Boxuan, I provided the original to show him, he promised not to leak this secret to a third person, in order to show his sincerity, he also mortgaged the only property in Beiping to me."

I showed him the map, and then I knew that Ma Boxuan had always had reservations about me in the past, in the past three months, he had actually cracked twelve words, and he was very excited to see the map, thinking that this map should be related to the location of the authentic monument of Yushen. I don't have much interest in any archaeological academics, but I just heard him say that if you can find the Yushen Monument, then this discovery will definitely rewrite the entire history of human civilization, and the benefits will be immeasurable. Unable to resist the temptation of interests, Ma Boxuan and I decided to cooperate to find the Yushen Monument.

But any adventure needs financial backing, Ma Boxuan is a nerd, and I don't have much money to open a coffin shop, so the two of us combined and decided to absorb another member, that person is called Fang Kewen is a student that Ma Boxuan once taught, and he is also a member of the Beijing collection community. Of course, we won't tell him about the search for the Yushen Monument, but we just said that we will go on an expedition to hunt for treasures. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xingmu felt a dry mouth, he got up and poured water, although there was still half a bottle of water in the thermos, but it was already cold, Luo Xingmu poured a bowl of water, and did not greet Luo Lie, picked up the coarse porcelain bowl and drank it clean, wiped the corners of his lips and said: "According to the places marked on the map, at the beginning, we successfully found several tombs, but these tombs were basically stolen and excavated, despite this, we also gained a lot, after all, it was impossible for the previous tomb robbers to take away all the burial goods in the tomb." ”

Luo Lie nodded, speculating that the tombs where Luo Xingmu went should be the places where his grandfather had set foot in them, so he had that picture.
