Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen Land Order

After Liu Ye finished speaking, she looked at Da Ya and me, and gently opened the box in front of her.He took out a cloth bag from the box, opened several layers, and revealed a token.It is eight or nine centimeters wide, less than twenty centimeters long, and one centimeter thick. It looks like it was made of bronze, full of ancient flavor. I took the bronze medal from Liu Ye, turned it over and looked at it carefully.It seems that the "taotie pattern" on the back seems to be engraved with a character. Looking at the shape of the characters, it should be the kind of Thoth rune.The front is very simple, but there is a circle of decorations around the sign, and there are two seal characters engraved in the middle. I read it for a long time, but I think the first word should be "open".

Da Ya also took it from my hand and looked at it again, and weighed it in his hand, but he didn't see any tricks, didn't make a sound, and looked at Liu Ye. Seeing that we had finished reading, Liu Ye took back the bronze medal, pointed to it and said, "This brand is also an ancestral item in my family, just like beads, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Di Ling'. On the back is written the character 'Wu' in the Tote rune, which is the same as the character on the white jade soul bead handed down in her family, and on the front is written 'Kaiyang' in seal script..."

Both Da Ya and I were a little dizzy, so we quickly lowered our heads and took a few sips of coffee to refresh our minds. Seeing that she has already told the whole story, there is no need for us to hide anything from her, and we have told everything that happened to us.After I finished talking with Da Ya, the room immediately fell silent, as if waiting for a rusty needle to fall to the ground. Liu Ye frowned, obviously didn't expect things to be so complicated, and Da Ya and I had even more headaches than Liu Ye.We basically have no impression of this period of history. Except for the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong, Ji Dayandai and Heshen, little is known about the history of the Qing Dynasty.

After being silent for a long time, the three of us began to discuss each other with each other. This process was long and complicated. After talking for several hours, our thoughts gradually became clear. Liu Ye finally summed it up, and then listed several doubts. The first doubt is that Tridacna soul bead in our hand, who does it belong to?If it was left by Xingdi Qigong or someone related to him, why was it on the ground, and whether it was related to the dead man in the tomb. The second doubt is, October 29, which is the first day of October, why is this date so weird, and is there any secret other than what we guessed.

The third doubt is that the old man on the overpass is a man or a ghost?Is what you said true or false? The fourth question is what do the words on the Tridacna Soul Beads and White Jade Soul Beads mean?Why did Xingdi Qigong disappear overnight? Could it be related to these beads? If the tentative "Beidou Juquan" is a clue, then according to our current guess, whether each of the "Xingdi Qigong" had such a bead in their hands, corresponding to the tokens in their hands.Does that mean that as long as the seven beads are found, the Big Dipper is gathered and the answer can be found?

After discussing for a whole afternoon, we finally got some clues from the discussion, and everyone finally felt a little more relaxed. After this afternoon's contact, Liu Ye and us have become acquainted, and we are no longer so restrained, and we can tell jokes from time to time , have fun.Especially Da Ya, who called out one girl at a time, looking at that appearance, it was like finding a good-looking girl, and his own appearance can also be rejuvenated. In the end, we decided to make sure that the beads in our hands belonged to the mysterious person in the unnamed tomb in our hometown, and see if we could find anything that could prove his identity in the funeral objects of the mysterious person.If it proves that this person is also one of the "Qigong of Xingdi" or someone related to him, then it is certain that as long as we find the descendants of the "Qigong of Xingdi" or related clues, we can gather the other five beads. , there should be results.

I can be regarded as having a good start and a good end, helping Liu Ye rearrange the furniture in the house, especially her bed.For this, Liu Ye is still very grateful to me. I don’t know if it’s true or not. She teased me and said that she was so scared that she had been sleeping on the sofa for the past two days and didn’t go back to the bedroom. Everyone talked non-stop all afternoon, moved their brains and mouths, and moved around again and again. They were all a little hungry, so they went outside to find a small shop and sat down together.Each ordered a few dishes that they liked, chatted while eating, and the atmosphere became much more pleasant, and they got to know each other a lot, and they no longer felt alienated like before.

It was only later that I found out that the students were basically going on winter vacation now, and Liu Ye didn't have any classes, so she didn't have to go to work anymore.This girl can't tell whether it's curiosity or her own family mission. She insists on going back to the Northeast with us to investigate this matter.Originally, Da Ya and I hoped that we could consult her about some unclear matters, but she offered to take part in it, and Da Ya and I couldn't be happier. After all, we are together, which is more convenient and efficient. Gao, with such a young and energetic girl, it saves me from being lonely.

Three days later, I booked three train tickets to Siping, because Caijia Town is a small town, and now basically few trains will stop at that small station, so I can only take the train to Siping first and then change to a car. In fact, it is estimated that it takes about 40 minutes to travel from Siping to Caijia Town by car. I haven't been back for more than ten years, and I don't know how much the village has changed, and is there anyone I know well.Thinking of the familiar river, familiar woods, and familiar village roads, I can't help but have some expectations in my heart.

Da Ya is similar to me. Not long after my family moved away, his uncle took their family to the city, and he hasn't been back for more than ten years.Both of us are naturally looking forward to it. It seems that we are going back to our hometown to visit relatives this time. We don't feel nervous at all, but rather excited. It was the first time for Liu Ye to go there. She grew up in the city and never lived in the countryside. She was very curious and envious when she heard about the customs and lifestyle of our hometown when we were young.So he pulled his big teeth and kept asking questions. The innocent and curious look of a little girl seemed to have lost the reservedness of when we first met.

To pass the time on the train, the three of us kept chatting.Liu Ye is also very talkative and lively, saying some jokes from time to time.It feels like I arrived in Siping not too long ago. The weather in Northeast China is much colder than that in Beijing. As soon as we got out of the car, a gust of north wind blew us through. Thinking of such weather, we would go to the cemetery to dig up the grave for an autopsy to see our physiques. I can't carry a load, and I can't carry a basket with my hands. I am a little worried about whether I can dig the frozen soil in the cold weather. Thinking of the real purpose of going back this time, I didn't go back to Cai's house directly by car. After all, I still need to prepare some simple tools. I can't use my hands to dig the soil, let alone carry shovels and pickaxes blatantly.After inquiring about the road, I hailed a taxi, went to the Xingyue Hotel, and got two rooms, Da Ya and I shared one, and asked Liu Ye for a single room. After entering the room, it became warmer, and Da Ya asked me mysteriously: "Lai Liang, do we have to order Luoyang shovels, cold fireworks, daggers, explosives, pistols and so on? This is the first time we have done this. You can't drop the chain." I gave my big teeth a hard look and said: "I think you have read too many novels, you think we are going to fight against each other, return the Luoyang shovel, and you won't run away even if the grave is right there, why are you still using the Luoyang shovel to explore the tomb?" The ground? Besides, how hard can a shovel head hit in this place? With explosives, can you make a sound? But simple tools are needed, but I don’t know where to buy them? We are here to see each other Slander, I don’t know anything. But don’t buy the tools for cleaning the ground, and let the police clean it up for us.” When Da Ya heard what I said, he also felt that his idea was a bit unrealistic. I suddenly patted my head and remembered Boss Wang. According to Yu Mazi, this man has great powers and eyes. It might be a good idea to ask him if there is any way. After all, some things are not easy to buy in the market. Here, I quickly called Boss Wang. On the phone, I said some things we wanted very implicitly, asked him if he knew where they were sold, and introduced someone to me.Boss Wang is very straightforward, let me wait a moment and call me back later. Da Ya and I tidied up our things, changed into more convenient clothes, and lay straight on the bed. We were a little tired after taking the train for a long time. Within 20 minutes, Boss Wang called.To my surprise, Boss Wang said that the arranger was ready, asked my address, and said that someone would deliver it in more than half an hour.After thanking you repeatedly, I hung up the phone. When Da Ya heard about it, he clicked his mouth, and the boss Kuanawang, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, had a way and was open about his affairs. After tidying up her room, Liu Ye also came over. Everyone sat in our room and chatted briefly about the plan.Of course, the first thing to do is to find someone to stay with when you arrive. Although there are some small hotels in the town, they are a bit far from the village, making it inconvenient to move around. While chatting, the phone in the room rang. It was from the front desk, saying that someone was looking for me at the front desk on the first floor. I guessed that it must be Boss Wang, so I got dressed and went down with Da Ya, letting Liu Ye Take a look at it above. Standing near the front desk in the lobby on the first floor was a middle-aged man, about thirty years old, with a shaved head, wearing a leather jacket, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a burly figure, and a bit of a society feeling.Seeing us coming out, he also walked towards us. I was the first to say hello: "Hi, I'm Hu Deng, a friend of Boss Wang, are you looking for me?" The Paozitou took off his glasses and said very politely: "Hi, Brother Hu, Mr. Wang ordered me to prepare some things for you, and put them in the trunk of the car outside. Besides, here are the car keys. It's full, and when you're done using it, just give me a call, and I'll pick it up by myself." After speaking, he pointed to the car outside the door. Hearing what he said, I was even more surprised. I didn't expect that Boss Wang is really particular about his work. Although he didn't ask us what we were going to do, he was probably afraid that it would be inconvenient for us to take these things with us, so he directly took the trolley for us. , Tell Paozitou, and tell their boss on his behalf, and say that I am very grateful for his help, and took the car key. Paozitou smiled and said: "Brother Hu, you are welcome, the boss ordered, if you have anything to do in Siping, please call, and I can help you if you can't help it. After all, brothers have some problems here. Way. Some brothers who are a trough are not bad. They are really flashy. They are not serious, and they can help you settle. I am not educated. I just came out. I am a rough person. If you have something to say, just tell me To be polite is not to give brother face." Afterwards, he handed me a note with a phone number written on it. Da Ya chuckled, and nodded at Paozitou: "Hey brother, you are too polite, we buddies are not going to poke fun, but just find a place to play for a few days and relax." Pao Zitou was obviously taken aback for a moment, looked at Da Ya, said a few polite words to us, opened the door and left. I was at the side like a duck listening to thunder, I was confused, so I asked Da Ya what they were talking about, why couldn't I understand? Da Ya smiled, and told me as he walked, they were all talking slang in this area, and the boss said that they were doing well in this area, they had just come out of prison, and they had some backstage background.The meaning inside and outside the words is that once he is bullied or stabbed in this area, he can help with activities. In the Northeast dialect, this kind of person is specialized in "putting things out".
