Volume 1 A Troubled Boy Chapter 59 The Scribe and the Secret Decree

Before Luobei could react, the fourth uncle walked up to him and looked at the rusty iron gate in front of him.

"This door has not been opened for many years, because it holds a secret, a secret that the lives of all the people in the mansion are not enough to compare"

The fourth uncle's words paused slightly, and then put a hand on Luo Bei's shoulder, as if deliberately making him feel his kindness, and continued, "But if you really want to know, then why bother to go over the wall, I'll take you in to see it......"

With that, he took out a large key, which he could see that he had kept close to him.

Because the iron lock has been corroded very badly, it is not so easy for the key to be inserted directly.

Although the lock was difficult to open because of the rust, it was eventually opened, and Luobei could even smell the rust of the iron.

The moment the door opened, I saw that there were patches of panic inside, the grass had withered and yellowed, and there was still a thin layer of snow pressed on it, which should have not melted in the last snow.

The grass inside grew very tall, and when Luo Bei first walked in, he didn't see any graves, as if there was nothing but grass.

After the fourth uncle walked in, he closed the iron door again, and when the two doors collided, Luo Bei suddenly felt nervous, but think about it, since he came, what was there to be nervous about?

There is a path in the middle of the barren grass, it should be a trace left by someone who has walked it, and there is a pair of shallow footprints between the remaining snow on the ground, and he subconsciously erased the footprints with his feet, because he felt that it must have been left by Wen Qingqing.

While carefully erasing the footprints, he looked at the fourth uncle with the corner of his eye, intentionally or unintentionally, and found that the fourth uncle's face was still very calm, he couldn't see any expression, and he didn't notice his small movements, so he was a little relieved.

The two of them walked along the path among the barren grass in the deserted garden, and Luobei found that this place was really not small, and there seemed to be a few houses in the distance, but they were all dilapidated, estimated to be in disrepair, and even the wooden beams on the roof had collapsed.

Originally, the road led all the way there, but at a very small fork in the road, the fourth uncle told Luobei not to go any further, but to take the fork in the road instead.

The fork in the road was not as smooth as the original path, with potholes, and in some places there was even some water that pooled together and turned into tiny trickles.

Luo Bei looked up, and saw that in addition to the wild grass, there were several large trees in front of him, and the leaves on the trees had almost fallen, only the dry trunks were still swaying gently in the wind.

The two walked in the direction of the tree for a while, and at this time, the fourth uncle suddenly stopped.

Luobei looked, the road in front of it became open, but it was different from what had just been walked, but paved with a lot of bricks, and it was spliced into various patterns, if you looked carefully, you would find that in fact, the patterns on each brick were different.

And at the end of this brick-paved path is a large tomb.

There are also several small lonely tombs on both sides of this large tomb, which are inconspicuous compared to this large tomb.

There is a stone monument in front of the big grave, but there is nothing in front of the small grave.

The fourth uncle looked at the road in front of him, turned his head and looked at Luobei seriously, and said: "Next, you have to see every step I take, follow me, remember not to make a mistake in any brick, otherwise the mechanism here will kill you......"

Luo Bei nodded seriously, he knew that the fourth uncle had never told a lie, and it was impossible to deceive him.

After the fourth uncle instructed Luobei, he officially took the first step.

He stepped firmly on a square brick, but the second step did not go directly, but chose to land on a brick diagonally in front of him, and then the third step, the fourth step...... Every step is a strange step, as if there is no pattern at all.

Luo Bei could only watch every step he took seriously, and then followed closely behind.

At the end of the brick road was a flat clearing, and beyond that was the large tomb.

The fourth uncle stopped when he took the last step, and at this time Luo Bei also followed.

He didn't ask for Luobei's consent, only to see him suddenly grab Luobei's shoulder with one hand, and jump out like a huge bat rising into the air.

Landed firmly in the open space in front of the grave.

The fourth uncle put Luo Bei down, then picked up a fist-sized stone on the ground, flicked his fingers, and the stone flew out in response, landed on a square brick, and rolled forward.

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind struck, followed by countless arrows shot out of nowhere, extremely fast.

Luo Bei was taken aback, and then he realized that this road had been laid down, and if he didn't know the principle, there must be no return.

This is probably why Wen Qingqing was injured and escaped.

The fourth uncle looked at the road behind him, as well as the stones that were shattered by the random arrows, and said expressionlessly: "This road is arranged according to the seven-star formation, every step must be deeply integrated into the formation, if you take a wrong step, every step behind has a kind of mechanism......"

Luo Bei looked at the smashed stones that were shot on the road, and couldn't help but lose his mind, not knowing what other mechanisms were in this seemingly unspecial road in front of him besides these many flying arrows?

At this time, the fourth uncle pressed one hand on the stone tablet in front of the tomb, and secretly pressed a word on the stone tablet directly.

"Boom", the huge tomb suddenly opened a gap behind the stele, Luo Bei looked at the dark gap behind the stele, it was hard to imagine that this tomb was empty, I don't know what secrets are hidden inside?

So why did the fourth uncle suddenly take himself into this secret?

The answer can probably only be known after you really walk in, Luo Bei let out a long breath and thought in his heart.

The fourth uncle was still walking in front, and it turned out that after entering the tomb, there was a long staircase.

I saw him rub lightly a few times in a certain position in front of the tomb, and then the stone platforms on both sides became bright.

Luo Bei followed behind the fourth uncle and walked into the tomb, at this time there was another "boom" sound, Luo Bei turned around, and saw that the gap behind him had been closed in the huge sound.

After the only gap to the outside world was closed, the inside appeared a little brighter, and Luo Bei found that the steps under his feet were very high, and at the bottom of the steps, there was a wide place.

The two of them walked down the stairs one after the other, and then there were two almost identical corridors in front of them.

The fourth uncle did not hesitate at all, and walked on the right.

After two turns, Luobei heard a burst of "ding ding dong" sounds, and it became more and more obvious.

Luo Bei turned his head to look at the fourth uncle, but the fourth uncle only smiled slightly and said, "You will naturally understand when this road comes to an end!"

The sound became louder and louder, as if it was striking iron, and it seemed like the sharp sound of metal rubbing against rock, which became more and more harsh.

Luo Bei had no choice but to be patient and follow the fourth uncle all the way.

I don't know how long it took, but Yongdao finally came to this day.

Appearing in front of him was a door, wide and tall, both of which were made of solid wood.

Luobei looked up and saw a big sign on the lintel, with black characters on a yellow background, with three big characters of "Victory Gate".

He looked at the fourth uncle, waiting for the fourth uncle to open the door, and then he found himself more and more nervous, because he really couldn't imagine what kind of secret was hidden behind this door, if ...... He just wondered what he would do if the secret was really a dirty "swamp".

However, he found that the fourth uncle was standing in front of the sign, looking up, his face was sincere and solemn, and his expression was extremely reverent, which was the first time he had seen such an expression in the fourth uncle, a calm person who had never shown any emotions.

After worshipping sincerely, the fourth uncle faced Luobei and said sincerely: "There is a big secret hidden in this door, just because the master trusts you, but before I walk into this door, I still have a few words to tell you......"

"First of all, I want you to keep this secret no matter who you face whenever and wherever you are......"

Seeing that the fourth uncle looked so serious, Luo Bei knew that the secret inside must be extraordinary, so he had to nod, but he thought in his heart: "If the secret inside is harmless to others, I will naturally keep the secret for you, if it is those conspiracies, I am afraid that if you enter this door, you will not return, so what does it matter if you keep the secret or not?"

"There is one more thing, after I tell you everything, you have to judge for yourself, so don't say it now......"

After speaking, the fourth uncle pointed to the plaque above his head and said, "Do you know who mentioned the three words on the victory gate?"

Seeing Luo Bei shaking his head, he continued: "This is mentioned by the pilgrims of the Great Song Dynasty today, and there is a secret decree hidden behind the plaque......

"I think there should be no one today who doesn't know the shame of Jingkang that humiliated all the people of the Great Song Dynasty when the city was broken."

The fourth uncle's expression became extremely sad when he spoke, as if he was telling about a catastrophe that he had personally experienced.

After the shame of Jingkang, the current saint finally gathered the ministers in Lin'an Mansion after all the hardships and came to the court again, even so, he never forgot the disaster and shame brought by the great change to the people of the world...... It's just that now the strength of the Great Song Dynasty is difficult to match the powerful Jin ......"

The fourth uncle's eyes flashed with loneliness, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to become heavier.

"Now most of the northern lands have been occupied by the Jin Kingdom, in order to one day defeat the Jin Kingdom and recover the lost land, the lord with the secret decree of the Holy Lord led a righteous man to establish a secret base here, and behind this door, it is a secret weapon built to recover the lost land......"

When the fourth uncle said every word, in addition to the unique loneliness, there was also a kind of excitement and excitement that naturally flowed out.

Although Luo Bei doesn't know much about the world's major events, listening to what the fourth uncle said at this moment, he also heard a burst of blood in his heart.

"I'll open this door now, and remember what I promised......"

After speaking, the fourth uncle lightly buckled in the middle of the door, and waited for a while before pulling the second sound, followed by the third sound.

As soon as the third sound was pulled, the wooden door trembled.

Next, the gate slammed.

Standing in front of the door was a middle-aged scribe in a light blue robe.

The scribe wore a long black crown on his head, and his eyebrows were delicate and his face was slightly pale.

A strand of hair was well combed, scattered on his chest, his eye sockets were deep, but his eyes were extraordinarily focused.

Luo Bei looked at the middle-aged scribe standing in the door, and couldn't help but be shocked.

This person is the scribe he met in the teahouse in front of Kaifeng City, and now after a long time, I didn't expect to see it here again.

He even remembered the smile the scribe had deliberately given him when he left with the four men that day.

The scribe put his right hand flat on his left shoulder, with a gentle smile on his face, nodded to the fourth uncle, and then smiled at Luo Bei: "Little brother, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon!"

......
