Treasure Hunt Memo

Chapter 36

Just to be on the safe side, I flipped through many pages in a row, but I didn't see any writing.

"Xinran, have you been to the tomb of King Chu in Shitoutan before?" The tomb of King Chu in the note is recorded after the remains of the Shuangjiu family. If the tomb information in this note is arranged in order, then Xinran should return I have never been to Shimutan.

Sure enough, he shook his head happily, and replied with a puzzled face: "I haven't been there, I don't have the slightest impression."

It seems that I guessed right. Although the tomb of King Chu was listed in the notes, when it was recorded, Elder Qi had not entered the tomb.

Jiesheng on the side suddenly said: "Could it be like this? After Master came to Henan, he didn't rest in the old house, but went directly to the tomb of King Chu. Sister Xinran, do you still remember the hexagram I divination? The elephant implies that there is water in the place where the master goes, and since the tomb of the King of Chu is in the stone tomb pool, there must be water, which is consistent with the hexagram."

"That's right! I think what my junior sister said makes sense." I agree with her statement, which is the most reasonable explanation I can think of so far, "And you think, if these notes are recorded in chronological order, At that time, after Mr. Qi reserved the title of the Shuangjiu clan's ruins, he wrote the Tomb of the King of Chu later. It is obvious that he has included the Tomb of the King of Chu in his itinerary plan."

"It's possible what you said, but if that's the case, why did grandpa go to the tomb without telling me? What I can't understand is that grandpa has always done things calmly. He didn't even bring any equipment or equipment for this trip. Going back to the old house to rest, if you just go to the grave like this, it would be too hasty." Although Xin Ran agreed with our speculation, she still raised some doubts.

Xinran's question is also something I didn't want to understand.

"What did Elder Qi say in the letter? Is it convenient for you to tell me?" I looked at the letter paper in Xinran's hand and asked.

Xinran didn't shy away from anything, and handed over the letter directly.

Jiesheng and I roughly read the letter, and the content inside was basically an account of the funeral.In addition to leaving a lot of property to Xinran, Mr. Qi also expressed the hope that she can live a normal life and stop getting involved in activities.

However, at the end of the letter, there is a strange content mentioned, to the effect that if Xin Ran needs it, he can contact a person named Xu Teng through the number behind the notebook.He has been in contact with Zhao Longyu many times, and he will arrange everything for Xinran, so he can be trusted.

"Do you know this Xu Teng? Mr. Qi said that he has been connected with Uncle Yu many times. What exactly does the connection refer to?" Mr. Qi's letter made me a little confused.

"I don't know each other. The docking is usually handled by Uncle Yu alone. But I can tell you about the docking." Seeing that both me and Jiesheng looked confused, he explained happily, "Actually, the docking is a preparation before going to the grave. Activities. A person like Grandpa who is proficient in wind and water can often obtain a lot of information about ancient tombs and has rich experience in burying them. But even so, it still requires a lot of manpower to go down some large tombs, so at this time Grandpa will send Uncle Yu and the middleman Liaison, this kind of intermediary is generally called a "leader". The leader is mostly related to the team on the road, and can gather people for the burial event. After the event is completed, the things in hand must be shared with the leader, and then the leader will pay. manpower costs."

"According to what you say, this Xu Teng should be the leader? Elder Qi asked you to contact him if you need it. Isn't that a return to your old business? And at the beginning, Elder Qi said that he didn't want you to participate in the activities anymore. Isn't this a contradiction?" I asked a bunch of questions in one breath.In my impression, Mr. Qi has always been an expert with rigorous logic.But the content of this letter is inconsistent and logically chaotic, which is not his style at all.

Xin Ran nodded and said: "It should be the leader. Actually, I don't understand what grandpa means. But right now, grandpa is likely to go to the tomb of King Chu. We really need to contact Xu Teng, maybe we can recruit people Let's go to the tomb together. Maybe the last words left by grandpa are like an insurance measure, in case he encounters any danger in the tomb, we can contact Xu Teng to rescue him?"

"I don't think it's right. Think about it. Mr. Qi wrote this letter before he went to Linzi, and let me tell you that the premise of keeping things is that something happened to him. In this case, the content of this letter It wouldn’t be for the purpose of rescuing him, are you right?” I don’t agree with the purpose of “rescue” that I readily mentioned.

But Jiesheng said: "Master is proficient in spells, and always takes a long-term view in doing things. Maybe he has already reached the current situation, so it is concluded that we will contact Xu Teng?"

Although the idea of ​​saving children sounds a bit metaphysical, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

After thinking about it, I still said, "Compared to waiting passively, contacting Xu Teng is indeed a better choice. There may be some information from him that we don't know."

I checked the time, it was 46:[-] in the evening.

After making up her mind, Xinran directly dialed Xu Teng's number on the note and turned on the speakerphone.What is unexpected is that the location displayed by the number is actually Luoyang, Henan.

"Du...beep...beep...sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily inconvenient to answer..."

After three rings, the call was hung up by the other party.

"He hung up the phone." Xin Ran looked at us and spread his hands helplessly.

"He probably doesn't know you. Why don't you send him a text message to explain that Mr. Qi asked you to contact him?" I rubbed my chin and said.

"good idea!"

Xinran sent a text message to Xu Teng.Within a few minutes, Xu Teng called from his side.

"You are Ye Xinran?" A deep voice came from the phone.

"Yes, it's me." Xin Ran replied.

"Is something wrong with the old man?" Xu Teng asked immediately.

"No, no. Grandpa came out. It's just that a few days ago, grandpa suddenly said that he would go back to the old house, and there was no news after that. I saw the letter left by grandpa, so I contacted you and asked for your help." Xinran roughly explained What happened.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Xu Teng said, "How is Zhao Longyu?"

"Uncle Yu died in the tomb." Xin Ran replied.

"Things are out of control now. Some things can't be explained on the phone. I'll give you an address. Go there at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Let's talk face to face." Xu Teng said.

"Okay, sorry for your trouble. See you tomorrow."

"Yes." Xu Teng hung up the phone.

"Drip."

Gladly received a text message from Xu Teng, the address in it was a tea ceremony hall, which was not far from the old house, only 2000 meters away.

"It seems that the matter can only be discussed tomorrow morning. Don't think too much tonight, go to bed early." I waved at them, and I was a little tired after a day of running around.

Xin Ran still looked worried, and said: "Everyone, go to bed early, I'm just a little worried about Grandpa's safety."

Jiesheng put his hand on Xinran's shoulder, patted her lightly, and comforted her.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, after we had breakfast, we went downstairs to the teahouse according to the address in the text message.This teahouse looks very grand from the outside, it has three floors, and the decoration is also very particular.

After entering, the waiter asked if there was an appointment, and we reported Xu Teng's name.After hearing this, the waiter respectfully led us into a private room on the second floor.

"You Huang Pavilion"

"Sitting alone in the secluded huang, playing the piano and singing again." The name of this private room is quite elegant.

Open the door and enter, a bald man is sitting at the table.He looked about 50 to [-] years old, with a ferocious face and shiny hair, he looked very much like Duan Yanqing, the head of the four villains in Tianlong Babu.

Xu Teng, who was fierce just a second ago, managed to squeeze out an awkward smile when he saw us coming in, and motioned for us to sit down.
