"Strictly speaking, I found the yard where my ancestors lived. It happened that his ancestor was not there, and his friend who had bet with him lived in the opposite door, and at that time he saw several people walking out of his courtyard. ”

This friend was still righteous, and quietly went to inform him. The ancestor was taken aback, and he didn't want anything left in the courtyard, so he ran directly to the dock and boarded the ship back to Lost Island. As a result, before the boat left, three guards chased after him, and as soon as he got on the boat, he searched everywhere. ”

"Search?" Chitose frowned, "Your grandfather wears a mask, right?"

"Still wearing black robes, just like dozens of other people on the dock!" Jing Qing was sure, "He has said this detail no less than ten times, and I remember it very clearly." His appearance would not be any different from that of other black-robed guests. But the guards recognized him at a glance and rushed to arrest him!"

Chitose and Tsubame Saburo glanced at each other, both feeling strange.

Fortunately, his friend who gambled with him was injured and killed the guards, and then the ship sailed through the fog wall and docked for Lost Island. ”

Yan Saburo grasped the point: "It doesn't sound like this guard is very powerful, how can you see our disguise?"

This was also a question for the two of them, so they searched for the guards' equipment before disembarking the ship. Lord Jing moistened his throat with wine, "When they stepped on the ship back home, they found that these guards were wearing special potions, and as long as they put two drops on them, they could see through the true face under the mask, and the effective time could last for two hours!"

Chitose and Yan Saburo were stunned.

The young man said in a deep voice, "Do you still have this potion on you?" Although sixty years have passed, you might as well hold on a little hope.

Jing Qing lived up to his expectations, and sure enough, he took out a crystal bottle the size of a tail finger, which contained half a bottle of blue liquid: "The potion back then has long been spoiled. When the ancestor returned to the land, it took him ten years to find a medicine king, ask him to study the ingredients of the medicine, and finally successfully replicate it. This is a potion I made based on my ancestors' recipe, so I'll call it 'Water of True Vision'. ”

Before Yan Saburo could reach out his hand, Chitose had already snatched the bottle down: "Give it to me." ”

Raising her head slightly, she quickly dropped two drops into her bright eyes, and then blinked: "It's cool and moist, and it's quite comfortable." ”

Yan Saburo looked at her fixedly.

Wouldn't she dare let him try it? After all, it was a liar's thing, and it had to go straight to the eye.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Chitose dangled two fingers in front of his eyes, "Put on the guy!"

The boy put on a mask.

"Well, it's easy to see. Chitose gave a positive comment, "Although there is a mask in the way, the color is distorted, but you can indeed see your facial features clearly." ”

Speaking of this, she turned to Jing Qing and narrowed her eyes: "Just now we stood in front of the grasshopper stall and bargained, it seems that you have already found out, but you are silent." ”

Jing Qing touched his nose and defended: "This potion has limited effect, and if you stand four or five feet away, you can't really see it even if you drop the potion." ”

Chitose stood up and walked away, and then looked back at Yan Saburo, and sure enough, it was so.

Yan Saburo took off his mask and said slowly: "It seems that Grandfather Ling inadvertently broke the secret of the Hidden Country. ”

The officials of the Tibetan country can always see every outsider!

Yan Saburo was originally a little strange, how the Tibetan country would manage these outsiders who didn't know the details, didn't know the origin, and didn't even show their faces.

Official power is inherently averse to any element of instability.

It turned out that the masks and burqas were fooling people, and only the seafarers could not see each other's true faces, but the official could keep a record of everyone, and if it was not good, they also made a file.

Otherwise, how would the other party know which yard the Jing family's grandfather lived in?

All three were silent.

After a while, Chitose said, "The Hidden Kingdom has been opened so many times, and I don't believe that no one else has discovered this. ”

Yan Saburo waved his hand: "I still remember that the teacher mentioned that some people say that the country is full of gold, but some people say that there are sneaky people everywhere, and it can be seen that there are no signs of suspicion." It is true that paper cannot contain fire, but the Hidden Kingdom only needs to extinguish it before it burns. ”

Chitose snorted, and then asked Jing Qing: "Even if the Tibetan State is not doing this authentically, why do you say that the blood fingerprint should not be pressed?"

Jing Qing raised his head and poured two glasses of wine before continuing: "After returning to his hometown from the Tibetan country, his ancestor insisted on moving despite the opposition of his family. He said that the place was too weird, and he was afraid that someone would come and chase him. As a result, my family encountered bandits on the migration route, who not only robbed money but also killed people. My maternal great-grandfather and my second uncle were killed, and the family's money was almost ransacked. My grandfather and my father were able to escape, but my grandmother was heartbroken and fell out with him. ”

Chitose understood: "Your grandfather thinks that this is a chaser sent by the Tibetan country?"

He did speculate, but there was no evidence. Jing Qing said astringently, "At that time, my family was exhausted, and my grandmother hated him and resented him, so she left with my father and lived in Bingzhou. I lost my father when I was six years old, and my grandfather came to me, and even though I was in tears, my grandmother still forbade him to see me, saying that he was a man of bad luck and would affect me. ”

"My grandfather only stayed for seven days, but before he left, he gave me a booklet and told me to burn it after I memorized it. Jing Qing recalled, "I was very reluctant, but my ancestor was right when he said that my grandmother was very right, he had bad luck and would cause death to his relatives, so he couldn't stay for a long time." ”

Chitose peeled off a shiso pickled shrimp and drank the story: "You know, it's all from the booklet?"

"Yes. Jing Qing nodded, "The booklet contains the passage of the Tibetan country, and also records what he has learned and learned in his life, and writes in detail what he has seen and heard in the Tibetan country. After my ancestor returned, he stopped contacting us. Three years later, I received news of his death. ”

Yan Saburo's eyes moved slightly: "How did he die?"

"It is said that he was so drunk that he jumped into the lake and died. Jing Qing sighed, "When he died, he had no relatives around him, and the county did not investigate it deeply. But I know that my ancestors often said that drinking and gambling should only choose one of them, and if he is addicted to gambling but not alcohol, how can he get drunk?"

Neither Tsubazaburo nor Chitose squeaked. Jing Qing suspected that it was someone from the Tibetan Kingdom who came to seek revenge, but he had no evidence, and the truth had long since disappeared with the death of the Jing family's grandfather.

Jing Qing took a sip of wine: "If you take it." The ancestor wrote in the booklet that he was going to bring the secret into the coffin, but after thinking about it, he was not reconciled. In fact, he has changed several addresses, and it seems that the hidden country can find him. He suspected that this was because he had put a bloody handprint on the contract in Sanssouci Valley. ”

Chitose nodded: "Indeed, some supernatural powers can trace the original owner based on blood stains and even objects. ”

Yan Saburo asked, "You came to the Tibetan Kingdom this time to find out the truth?"
