In the afternoon, the rain was quieting.

A four-wheeled carriage with a single horse stopped at the mouth of the old alley, which was rarely deserted due to rain, and the carriage body was mainly gray and black, and the side was outlined with red lines to outline a pattern that Li Qing could not understand.

In the front room sat a coachman, who was dozing off with a horsewhip in his arms, and his gray hat leaned forward slightly, covering his face completely.

The three figures approached, but the coachman was immersed in a sweet sleep as if he hadn't noticed anything.

When he arrived at the carriage, Gu Changming nodded to Li Qing and got into the carriage first.

"Think about it clearly, feel free to contact us by letter," Xiao Jin took out the pen and paper he was carrying, tore it off and handed it to Li Qing after writing, "Submit to the No. 7 or No. 4 window of the post office, if there are no special circumstances, I suggest you choose the former." After speaking, Xiao Jin raised his hand and patted the coachman's shoulder gently, and then entered the carriage.

Li Qing took the note, stood in place, and looked at the driver curiously.

He is the companion of Gu and Xiao, is he also a transcendent? Or is it just a civilian in Xiao Jin's mouth?

And the feeling that this person gives him...... There is an indescribable weirdness, like looking at a hanging mirror, erratic and unstable.

The coachman who woke up yawned, whipped down, and the carriage sped away.

In a short time, the carriage rushed out of the urban area of Ningpu and ran on the inaccessible country road.

At a time when horse thieves are rampant, this kind of lone carriage is definitely the object of favor by lawbreakers.

In these times on the verge of madness, a horse and a flintlock pistol can carry out a robbery, and there are always people who are willing to take risks for the sake of wealth.

Inside the carriage.

"You've broken discipline." Xiao Jin lowered his head, brushed and brushed and didn't know what he was writing, the hair on his forehead was drooping, and his tone was cold, like those discipline inspection commissioners in the Investigation Bureau.

In accordance with the relevant regulations of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Special Incident Investigation Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Special Incident Investigation Committee, for the sake of social stability and other considerations, extraordinary persons are not allowed to reveal in front of ordinary people the extraordinary abilities and extraordinary items they possess or temporarily possess unless necessary.

"That's right?" Gu Changming stretched out his hands and explained: "It was a 'necessary situation' just now, and I fired his gun for the purpose of self-defense. ”

Xiao Jin drew the last stroke, she didn't dwell on the issue of "discipline", and instead asked, "Why didn't you reveal to Li Qing about that notebook according to the plan?" ”

Before they set off, the General Bureau of Special Incident Investigation of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, located in Xiangling, the capital of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, issued a secret letter, ordering the branch to cooperate with the special team to find the lost second-class transcendent item, a copper notebook written during the Shang Dynasty.

In the "awakening" of the transcendent and the subsequent advancement, the surviving person, regardless of whether the person is successfully promoted or not, will receive some kind of special "revelation", which may be a guide or a hint to lead the person who receives the "revelation" to a greater unknown.

After two hundred years of research, although the origin of the "revelation" is still a mystery, the transcendents have found that this "revelation" is never without a purpose, but always has some clear or vague direction: an object, a place, a power, a point in time...... These "revelations" are either related to the subsequent transcendent path of the individual, or to the survival of an organization, or even to the evolution of the times in which it lives, and this is one of the reasons why the Special Investigation Bureau actively recruits clerks to join.

Because of this, after learning that Li Qing went to the county library as soon as he got out of the Awakening Trial Realm, the two decided to inform Li Qing of this matter in line with the principle of "casting a wide net", hoping to get some unexpected joy.

"He's a very different person from what I imagined before, so I temporarily changed my mind," After a pause, Gu Changming pointed out of the carriage in an uncertain tone and said, "This technique of yours may have been seen through by him, the trial realm can enhance people's five senses, and in this regard, he seems to have benefited a lot." ”

Xiao Jin was slightly stunned, and was about to refute, but Gu Changming on the other side had already begun to close his eyes and recuperate: "Remove the mirror image, don't think about him, put your mind on our next goal, ordinary people suddenly get extraordinary power, and the consequences may be far more troublesome than you can imagine." ”

Xiao Jin's lips moved, she didn't want to refute, she just whispered.

While the driver outside the carriage evaporated like water vapor, Xiao Jin's small notebook also had an extra line of handwriting out of thin air:

"On February 7, 203, Gu Changming went out on a mission, passed through Ningpu County, and violated discipline once, and the punishment was positive by deducting the performance of the month - Xiao Jinji, a special alternate member of the Discipline Inspection Committee of the Special Incident Investigation Department of the Fuyong Municipal Public Security Bureau"

……

After seeing off Gu and Xiao, Li Qing stood at the mouth of the alley, and then rushed back to the old house like a gust of wind.

Li Qing did not reject the arrival of Gu Changming and Xiao Jin, not only for the well-conditioned clerical contract, but also because of the five-yuan condolence money left by the two before leaving, on the lilac banknote, the portrait of Shang Mingzong, who is known as the lord of Zhongxing, is so kind, that people have no doubt that this is a benevolent monarch who loves the people like a son.

If they can express their condolences so appropriately every time they come, even if they visit every day, Li Qing will definitely sweep the bed to greet them.

But now, whether it is a windfall of fifty yuan or a labor contract that sounds like an iron rice bowl, it is not as interesting to him as the scarlet moon in the palm of his hand and the mysterious copper book.

The rain had stopped, but there were thumb-sized dark blue spots on the windowsill, mixed with the broken white of the walls, and the bedroom was filled with the smell of moldy dampness.

Li Qing wiped the broken splash on the desk with his sleeve, and the copper book was taken out and laid flat on the table.

In addition to the author's name and publishing house, the copper-brown cover of the copper book is also delicately carved, just like the huge dynasty that has gone through 1,200 years, and the texture of the metal reveals the heaviness of the years, which makes people can't help but want to get a glimpse of the mysteries.

What is recorded in the bronze book without a title is put into this tome that records the history of the Houzhao period, and it was discovered by him Li Qing at this time.

With a slight force on the finger that fastened the title page, the copper book was opened, even though Li Qing was already prepared in his heart, the moment his eyes touched the page, the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.

On the pages of the book, there are small seals that are constantly engraved.

It is as if there is an invisible carving knife, grasped by an invisible skillful hand, and at a constant speed, it carves dense words on the pages.

Dozens of lines of text, sprinkled with water, arranged vertically from top to bottom, appear on the pages of the book

In the eighth paragraph of the book, after drawing an exclamation point to end a short sentence, the invisible carving knife stopped, and Li Qing's ears began to make a "gurgling" sound, like metal stuck in a groove somewhere, difficult to pull out.

Li Qing's throat rolled, and he slowly closed the copper book, and the sound stopped immediately.

Xiao Jin said that in the few days after experiencing the trial realm, he usually encounters some special events for the transcendental, and if he encounters a similar incident that he has not successfully advanced to the transcendental, he must not think of fighting alone, but should write a letter and report as soon as possible, and stay at the place where the incident occurred, so as to respond to all changes unchanged.

Sure enough, professional matters should listen to the words of professionals, and the appearance of this bronze book obviously belongs to the category of special events.

In fact, Xiao Jin not only said this, but before leaving, she also explained in detail to Li Qing some precautions after leaving the trial realm, such as not drinking carbonated drinks, not reading pornographic books, taking a mirror at 10:07 at night and insisting on it for a week, waking up in the morning to learn two cuckoo calls, and so on.

"Doing this can effectively help you reduce the chance of violent death to less than 10%, reduce the chance of impaired mobility due to accidents, that is, disability to less than 30%, and reduce the chance of suffering from depression, neurasthenia and other mental illnesses to less than 50%, of course, if you join us, the above situations can be recognized as work-related injuries."

Li Qing can do all these things that sound ridiculous, but the problem now is that except for a very few words, Li Qing can't understand what is engraved on the bronze book.

He now urgently needs someone to help him translate the words in the book, but the existence of the copper book is a secret that cannot be revealed, at least the current Li Qing has not been able to have such a trustworthy friend who knows the business seal.

Or simply follow Xiao Jin's instructions, write a letter and report, and then return here, waiting for fate in torment.

The cold air blew in through the leaky window lattice, and Li Qing shivered excitedly.

The hour hand of the wall clock on the right was pointing to five o'clock, and the black secret text around the crimson moon in Li Qing's palm had spread to the position of two o'clock.

The more important things are, the less time there is left for people to make decisions.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice sounded outside the door: "Xiao Li, don't be at home, open the door soon." ”

It was Lao Ge, Li Qing put away the bronze book, got up and walked to the door.

"What fashion are you doing?"

Outside the door, Lao Ge was dressed in a security uniform, his left sleeve was raised, and he wore five bracelets of religious significance on his wrist that was loose because of his age.

According to Li Qing's understanding of him, this old man is not a person who can easily have faith.

Lao Ge glanced into the room, and instead of answering, he asked, "Your two relatives are gone?" ”

Li Qing nodded, didn't want to defend anything, and invited Lao Ge into the room.

Lao Ge saw that there was really only Li Qing in the house, and he showed a disappointed expression on his face, and said, "Walking so fast, I still want to call them together and ask those people for a few more gifts." ”
