Section 148: End-of-life code
Sun Hanxiang's small thatched hut was full of bottles and jars, all kinds of medicinal materials that he had never seen. Only a small square table in the northwest corner of the house is used for record-keeping.
Long Xiaomo hurriedly walked over and saw a copy of Hua Tuo's "Green Capsule Sutra" on the table, which was a classic book in the medical field in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and there was nothing special about it. But since the old lady pointed here. Then maybe there's something wrong.
Long Xiaomo picked up the book and found that three pages of the book had been folded. Long Xiaomo opened the three pages and found that there were no unusual marks. He turned around and asked Yang Yuting, "Do you have any special codes in your sect?"
"Password?" Yang Yuting cupped her cheek with her fingers and thought for a long time, and said: "A few years ago, my grandmother once gave me a book full of secret words, saying that it was a secret language dictionary inside the Holy Hand Hall, and asked me to keep it well, saying that I might be able to use it one day." I saved the book in the Land Temple in Tongguan Town. At the little voles and the little hamsters. ”
Long Xiaomo said: "Look at the way it is now, your grandmother has been dead for a long time. This book and that code word may be the last message your grandmother left us. Let's bury your grandmother quickly. Then go to Tongguan Town to find that cheats book and take a look. ”
Yang Yuting said: "Don't you stop looking for Neidan who is looking for human snakes on this mountain? Maybe Grandma Tai hid her in some very secret places?"
Long Xiaomo said: "Those killers are so thoughtful, they must have already searched through this place, if they can't find it." We certainly can't find it either. ”
Yang Yuting nodded. The two immediately started digging a grave behind Sun Hanxiang's thatched hut.
Nameless Mountain is one of the many peaks in the Qinling Mountains, and the old lady Sun Hanxiang is proficient in medical science. The place she chose was naturally a place with excellent feng shui. Long Xiaomo buried her here, and naturally she would be descended by future generations.
During the worship, Long Xiaomo originally thought that Yang Yuting would cry, but Yang Yuting's performance was a little unexpected to Long Xiaomo. She was patient, trying her best to suppress her emotions, but she could see that her whole body was trembling.
Long Xiaomo patted her shoulder and said, "If it's uncomfortable, just cry hard." Otherwise, you'll have internal injuries. Long Xiaomo said as she took Yang Yuting into her arms.
Yang Yuting still didn't cry out loud, but opened her mouth and bit Long Xiaomo's arm.
Long Xiaomo felt a lot of pain, it was an unforgettable pain, but Long Xiaomo didn't bother her, because he knew that Yang Yuting really needed to release his emotions.
At this time, a cloud floated over from the top of the mountain, and before long it began to rain lightly in the sky. Long Xiaomo silently used his spiritual power, and the light around his body shone brightly, like an invisible big umbrella, blocking these raindrops from the outside. The two of them sat silently all night. The usually monkey-like bandit also squatted silently behind the two at this time, as if he was paying a silent tribute to this respectable senior.
And so the night passed. Early the next morning, the two of them rode the bandits towards Tongguan Town. The bandits seemed to be particularly comfortable with the feeling of running wild on the official road, and they didn't care about the eyes of the crowd at all.
When they were still fifteen miles away from Tongguan Town, the two men got down from the bandits' backs and let them play on their own in a hill near the bandits. The two of them pretended to be an ordinary fleeing couple and entered Tongguan Town. Entering Tongguan Town from the direction of Henan is very strict, but Long Xiaomo has the token of the Qin army, so it is naturally different
It's one thing outside.
In Tongguan Town, Yang Yuting is familiar with the road, after all, she has lived here for three years, and it is like her second hometown. The great sorrow that had been suppressed in my heart seemed to be diluted a little.
After Yang Yuting returned to the ground, she saw the overjoyed little voles and hamsters, as well as a group of half-sized children. When Yang Yuting was away, the little vole naturally became the leader of a group of little beggars, and actually put this place in order. Yang Yuting naturally complimented him.
After finishing, Yang Yuting dug under a mulberry tree behind the small temple. Soon, a small burden was dug out of the tree pit. Long Xiaomo looked around. I saw Yang Yuting open the outer wrapper, untied the oiled paper bag inside, and revealed the basic precious books.
The top books are all the ancestral medical secrets of the Holy Hand Hall, and the bottom book is called "The Secret of the Holy Hand", and when you open it, all of them are the passwords for transmitting information inside the Holy Hand Hall. Yang Yuting said that she probably knew how to use this password, which was roughly similar to the telegraph cipher used in later generations. This encryption method is used to transmit a confidential information, which was a very advanced technology in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
Long Yang and the others returned to a secret room in the Land Temple, and let the little vole and others control the wind outside. The two of them carefully studied the relationship between the two books. "The Green Capsule Sutra" is an ordinary classic, and Mrs. Sun only folded three corners on the book. Long Xiaomo didn't read much, so he turned sideways at the content of the three pages of the book, and he didn't see the reason when he looked upside down, so he actually fell asleep.
Looking at Long Xiaomo's sleepy appearance, Yang Yuting couldn't help but stretch out her hand and chisel a brain crash on Long Xiaomo's head. Long Xiaomo was clever and said, "Do you see any doorways?"
Yang Yuting shook her head and said, "I can't see it, that book of "The Secret of the Holy Hand" seems to encode some numbers. But there don't seem to be any numbers in those three pages?"
Long Xiaomo suddenly flashed and said, "By the way, can you try the page number?"
"Yes, yes, yes. A sentence woke up Yang Yuting, the person in her dream. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, printed books in general did not have page numbers in the corners as in later generations. Long Xiaomo's so-called page number is just the order of these three pages. The two of them hurriedly counted, they were 17,126,233, three numbers.
Yang Yuting opened the "Secret Story of the Holy Hand" and translated it against the three numbers of Nan, Binger, and Wuqi. Yang Yuting thought about it in her mind for a while, and she roughly had an idea.
In the day-to-day management, the Tang army was very fond of coding management, which was a tradition left over from the Qin people. Chang'an was divided into one hundred and eight squares, which is the ultimate play of this management method.
Tongguan Town is a small town, so naturally it can't be divided like Chang'an. Then the meaning of South and C2 is probably the meaning of Nancheng, District C, and Building 2. Since it is according to the map, it is very convenient. Yang Yuting led the way in front, and the two arrived here after a while. To the surprise of the two, the two of them went around and returned to a very familiar place - the warehouse of the Copperhammer Gang.
Long Xiaomo still remembered that when he first entered the warehouse, he met Zhao Hongzhong, the Fire Hall Master of the Copper Hammer Gang, and he didn't know what was going on now. After Long Xiaomo made a fuss here last time, the entire warehouse was emptied by beggars of all sizes in Tongguan Town. To say that the effect is still obvious. At this time, there were many fewer beggars begging along the streets in Tongguan Town.
Although the warehouse is empty, the Copperhammer Gang has clearly not given up the industry here.
Long Xiaomo used the Qi Observation Technique to observe, and found that there were at least three bone-forging level masters stationed here.
At this time, it was still daytime, Long Xiaomo, in line with the principle that more things are better than less, took Yang Yuting around the warehouse, found a place where the defense was relatively lax, and jumped in with Yang Yuting on his back.
With Long Xiaomo's light skill level at this time, he could completely jump into the room without disturbing the surrounding guards. After entering the warehouse, Long Xiaomo found that it was indeed empty, and there were no guards at all, and it seemed that the Copper Hammer Gang had temporarily abandoned this place.
Yang Yuting said: "This warehouse has been emptied, if grandma leaves something behind, eighty percent will also be moved by others, right?"
Long Xiaomo said: "No, this hint was left recently, that is, your grandmother has been here recently." ”
After the three numbers, the last one is the seven digits, which obviously represents the code in the warehouse. The Hammers are very meticulous, and they even have a code written on it in the obvious location at the door of the warehouse, so the two quickly find this room.
As expected, the room was empty. It turned out to be stacked with some grain. At this time, the ground can be said to be empty, except for a few sacks that have been torn into shreds and the occasional grain particles.
Long Xiaomo jumped on the beam and checked around the beam, but found nothing. After jumping down, he found Yang Yuting squatting in the corner of the wall and observing carefully. Long Xiaomo asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything?"
Yang Yuting said: "You see, there seem to be traces of friction on this piece of ground. ”
Long Xiaomo took a look and found that there were indeed some less obvious friction marks on the ground, and it seemed that someone had consciously wiped off a little.
Long Xiaomo said: "There is a problem with this wall. He said as he pushed the wall with all his might. But unexpectedly, the wall didn't move.
Yang Yuting said: "Wait a minute, the organs of our Holy Hand Hall are generally open outward. You pull it out a little bit. ”
Hearing this, Long Xiaomo put his hands against the wall, used the word absorption method in "Qingfeng Break", sucked the wall tightly, and slowly exerted force outward, and sure enough, he sucked the wall out, revealing a gap more than a foot wide on the side.
The two of them squeezed through the gap and found a staircase sloping downward, with another chamber underneath the staircase. Long Xiaomo dragged the wall back again, restored to its original state, and then the two walked down the stairs again.
At the bottom of the stairs is another secret room, Yang Yuting said: "The style here is the same as that of Grandma's." It must be her stronghold in Tongguan Town. ”
Long Xiaomo rummaged through the small boxes around, and after a while, he found the remaining human snake Neidan, and hurriedly put it in his arms. said to Yang Yuting: "Let's see if there is anything left for us by your grandmother." ”
Yang Yuting found a small diary in the corner of the wall, which was left by the old lady Sun Hanxiang. Yang Yuting picked it up and flipped through it, and saw that some of the old lady Sun Hanxiang's inner words were recorded in it.
It turned out that after Sun Hanxiang and Miaoxinfang fell out, they went to the nameless mountain to live in seclusion, and never asked about the world. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, this can be regarded as a golden basin to wash hands. But those people in the Heart-Destroying Hall are obviously a little lower in character. After Sun Hanxiang withdrew from the rivers and lakes, they did not stop. Hell-bent on getting the old lady to hand over their holy book of medicine, the Holy Hand Sutra, so that they could dominate the rivers and lakes.
