Chapter 408: A Will Two Hundred Years Ago

"July 12, 1740......" Liang Jiwen sighed and said:

"It happened two hundred years ago...... and then he continued:

"July 12, 1740, is the day I will say goodbye to this world forever. And two centuries later, this day is also the day of my resurrection on earth. I am writing this will so that my children and grandchildren will know all this one day in the future.

"In those days, there was a foolish superstitious idea that after death, people could come back to life."

After Liang Jiwen muttered this digression to himself, he returned to the original topic

"Two hundred years later, you will hear clearly, my name is Meng Haotian, and I am the comprador of the Qing Emperor in the East. The East is a mysterious country with a long history of various magical arts, and it is truly a place full of mysteries and weirdness!

"By chance, I got the elixir that brings people back from the dead. The potion looked no different from ordinary water, and when it was contained in a small bottle, it didn't show anything special at all, but it had the magical power to bring people back to life.

"It took me a lot of effort to steal it from an ancient temple, but unfortunately someone found it out and was caught.

"The monk tied me up and forced me to hand over the bottle of potion. They threatened me with cutting off my fingers if I didn't hand them over.

"They cut off my ring finger first, and I immediately surrendered, so they spared me.

"So, the elixir that they had worked so hard to steal was returned to them? No! I had expected it. Before the monk captured me, I had already replaced the elixir with ordinary water, and quietly put the real potion in my luggage. Later, I quietly ran back to China.

"Now, I keep that magic potion in good place, and when I'm done with everything, I'll drink it and wait for death in silence, no! It should be two hundred years of peaceful sleep. ”

When Liang Jiwen read this, Miao Lide suddenly burst out laughing and said:

"Am you crazy? How could he have such a weird idea?"

"No, that's a great joke!"

Tang Ping is a young man who is good at gags, he said wittily.

Gu Jiawu, who looked very greedy, seemed to be disappointed, and was talking to himself alone:

"It's unbelievable that I still believe it's real!"

Yoko Jiuchi also frowned and said, "Hmph, it's really a big disappointment!" ”

Only Zhao Di was silent, she stared at the will in the notary's hand, and urged him to say:

"Mr. Notary, haven't you finished publishing it yet? Please read it on! ”

"Alright! I'll read on right away, and you'll have to listen carefully! Liang Jiwen quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his glasses and spread out the parchment:

"My descendants, my wife, has been dead for a long time, and my four sons, except for those who went out to fight, have wandered all over the world, and I am the only one who lives alone in the house, accompanied by a faithful old servant couple.

"Tonight, I decided to drink the potion. I have commanded my servants to store my body in the tower of the house. I will divide the property left over to my four children in my will, and then keep the will in the hands of Mr. Ye Yun, a notary public.

"I am going to ask the notary Mr. Ye Yun to hand over to my children and grandchildren the gold coin engraved on July 12, 1940, that is, two hundred years later, when I came back from the dead.

"I hope that my children and grandchildren will keep those gold coins properly and meet at noon on July 12, 1940 in front of the large clock table in the house. The big clock was no more than a few hundred steps away from the tower where my body was kept.

"In front of the old tree there is a gate made of stones, and one of you must go from the left and hold the third stone on the wall, and the other go to the right and hold the third stone on the wall. At this time, the stone wall in the middle will immediately collapse backwards, and a stone staircase leading to the tower will immediately appear.

"Then take your lighted torches and climb up the 132-step stone staircase. There you can find a plastered wall. You use the pickaxe next to the staircase to dig through the wall, and then a small door appears in the wall, and you just have to press the three pieces of masonry on the staircase at the same time to open the door automatically. I was lying in the door, in a bed behind the window.

"On the small table next to the bed, there was a small bottle of potion, tightly wrapped in a cloth and sealed with pine resin. You open the bottle, let someone pry open my teeth with a knife, and pour the potion of resurrection into my throat.

"After about five minutes, I could wake up, my heart beating, and my chest rhythmically slumping together. Also, at that time, my eyelids will open, and you must not alarm me by screaming loudly, nor should you stimulate my face and eyes with bright lights, but create as peaceful and peaceful an environment as possible, and give me something to eat and drink, and I will be completely awake in no time.

"However, I was afraid that after two centuries of my sleep, my memory would be lost, so I made another will. When you open the letter, you can see where the four huge diamonds are hidden, and it's in the Dongge Mountain Tower. Those four huge diamonds are hard to buy, rare and rare, I brought them back from the distant ancient country of Nanyang, and each of the four of you can have one.

"The above part is my will. I solemnly sealed it tightly and handed it over to the notary Mr. Ye Yun for proper preservation.

"My future children and grandchildren, let us meet on July 12, two centuries later!"

"That's the content of the suicide note."

After reading, Mr. Liang Jiwen took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose and wiped the beads of sweat from his head.

All those present were silent.

After a while, Zhao Di said, "Mr. notary, you just read the will, and there is also a will that says the specific place where the diamond is kept. Excuse me, sir, where is the second suicide note?"

"Together with the first will, it was kept in the hands of Mr. Ye Yun. The Marquis made a suicide note, which could not be read in front of his children and grandchildren until he was alive again. The second suicide note, which was also kept by the people who succeeded the notaries in the past, is now in my possession. ”

Liang Jiwen said and patted his leather bag vigorously.
