Manor Romance

Chapter 186 The Black Stone
The incense in the temple was good. Even at night, many believers came to offer incense and pray for the Buddha. The monks in the temple had no restrictions on visitors, and Yunli and Lu Ci could wander around and check it out.

There is a lot of space here, but except for the front yard, other places are idle, and they found that the predecessor here was not a temple, probably a college or research institute, because some door beams or walls , and engraved with related text information, it was probably transformed into a temple after it was lost.

The second half of the note is the moon shines in the sky, which is the translated meaning, and the original Lao language expresses that the place where the moonlight shines through is reflected, and the two of them walked around for a long time before finding the target location Locked to a sundial in the backyard.

The sundial is a timekeeping instrument used by ancient people to measure the time by using the shadow of the sun, also known as the sundial. For thousands of years, it is a major achievement of human beings in the field of astronomy.

The sundial in the backyard is not much different from the ones we usually see, except that there is a smooth round copper plate in the center of it, which can reflect the light to other places. The moonlight mentioned in the note should refer to this round copper plate. The location where the sheet reflects the moonlight.

However, at different times, the position reflected by the moonlight is different. Mo Lao did not specify at which time the position was mapped, but this is not difficult for Yunli. The route mapped by the moonlight is fixed, that is, it is limited to a fixed location. Expelling impossible areas, he finally locked his target on the beams of an abandoned small room on the side of the backyard.

The buildings here are very old. They are all brick and wood structures like before. A gable roof was built with wood and then covered with bricks and tiles. There are still many such old buildings in Laos.Yunli used electromagnetic force to sense the presence of one of the ends of the main beam, climbed up to explore, and knew where the target was.

There is a hidden grid at the end of the square beam. Since it is located at the protruding position at the end, it has no effect on the load-bearing of the beam, and the hidden grid is made quite concealed and tight. If it is not for the reminder of the moonlight line, and the subtle and accessible electromagnetic force Induction, even if Yun Li went into the room to investigate deliberately, he probably wouldn't be able to discover the secret here, let alone other people.

It's been a long time, and the beams are already covered with thick dust, but the wood is very good, so it's not so easy to open the hidden compartment. Fortunately, after two days of adjustments, Yunli's electromagnetic force has almost recovered, and he can directly display it. The Skink first increased the temperature to expand the wood in the hidden compartment, then quickly lowered the temperature to cool the target, grabbed the end and pulled out a piece of wood embedded in it.

"Is this the piece of wood that Mr. Mo instructed us?" When Yun Li came down with the piece of wood, Lu Ci couldn't help asking. Be more square.

"There is a hidden compartment inside the wooden block. The real thing is hidden inside. Get back behind me. I want to open this piece of wood, and be careful not to be splashed by wood slag." After Yun Li briefly explained, he put the wood on the ground. On the ground, step on one end with your foot, and step hard on the other end with the other foot. Since you didn't bring any tools, you can only take this temporary measure.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of his perverted legs, the wooden block was quickly broken, and inside was a piece of black cloth wrapped in something. When the black cloth was unfolded, there was a layer of waterproof sealing oil paper, and then a layer of white silk After all these veils were lifted, the real thing inside was revealed, an irregular black stone and an old cowhide envelope.

These two things were very different from what the two of them had expected, and Yunli concentrated all his energy on the black stone. In fact, from the moment he touched the wooden block, he knew that the things inside were not simple, because the electromagnetic force actually There was a subtle reaction, which was different from the strange plants such as ice plum blossoms and old iron trees, and also very different from the mysterious energy in the blue-black stone gate. The reaction was not strong, but it continued continuously. There seemed to be some same kind of connection.

Carefully use electromagnetic force to detect and detect, but did not find other noteworthy places, this black stone is only the size of a palm, to be precise, half a palm, oblate and warm, similar to a pebble, but it seems to be broken Come on, the other half of the stone is not here.

"It seems that there is only half of this black stone, and the other half has gone somewhere. Can you see anything special?" Lu Ci also noticed this situation. Seeing Yunli holding the stone and turning it over for inspection, he asked .

"This is not an ordinary stone. It looks like a stone and jade. It is extremely heavy. I can't see what kind of material it is made of. It may be more convincing to say that it is a meteorite. As for where the other half is, I probably have to ask Old Man Mo." Yes." Yun Li replied.

"Do you think this is what they call the treasure key? Isn't the ancient military talisman made in two halves, which can only be effective when combined? I think the key should be the same, but this stone is not the image of an ordinary key. It doesn't make sense again." Lu Ci expressed his opinion.

Yun Li agreed with her statement, nodded and said: "It is possible that the treasure key is not necessarily a key to unlock the lock, it may be just a voucher, a sign or a map coordinate, or it is possible that the Lu family has already converted the treasure into a universal key. Wealth, the rumored key is just a cover to divert attention."

"Mr. Mo kept this thing so hidden, there must be a deep meaning, and this letter, let's open it and see what's inside." Lu Ci couldn't get any clues from the black stone, so he turned his attention to the letter. Focus on another item.

This cowhide envelope was not sealed, and Yun Li opened it with a flick of a finger. There was only a piece of letter paper inside, and on it was only a short paragraph of neat traditional pen writing. Who is it? The first half of the content is reminiscence and greetings, but the latter looks like a self-report, which probably means that he has a responsibility and is shameless. I understand, I hope that in the next life I can repay the mistakes I made in this life, the signer's name is Mo Chen, and this letter was actually written by Mo Lao himself.

"This letter is actually written by that old fox. I don't know who his best friend is, and the words are written with sincerity. It seems that he has a good relationship with this best friend. He is at this age. It's hard to tell if this best friend is still alive." After reading the contents of the letter, Yun Li was also a little surprised.

"Perhaps Mr. Mo's original thought was to entrust this black stone to this close friend, but because of the entrustment, he didn't have the courage to contact him again, so he kept the thing here, and now it is in our hands. We Do you want to help him find this close friend and return everything to Zhao?" Lu Ci guessed.

"Probably so, but there are no clues. You can't find anyone based on the word 'best friend' alone. Then the old fox must have a way to get out of the control of the Lu family. When he knows that the things have been taken away by us, he will naturally Take the initiative to contact us, didn't you tell him all the contact methods?" Yunli replied.

"That's the only way to go. Let's go back. You will keep the things, but don't spoil them." Lu Ci put the envelope away and handed it to Yunli, pointing to the black stone in his hand and instructed. She knew that Yunli was very interested in studying strange things, so naturally this black stone could not escape his clutches.

"Huh? I'm not that scary. I'm eager to study. If this is an extraterrestrial meteorite, maybe I can research something, find aliens, and unite with them to occupy the earth. From now on, this planet will be my territory." Now, you don't have to bother to get a fake card to get a fake certificate." Yun Li heard Lu Ci's teasing tone, so he followed the words.

Lu Ci scolded him with a smile, "No seriousness", and the two packed up their things to ensure that outsiders could not see any clues before leaving. Before leaving, Lu Ci had a whim, and imitated other believers to be devout in front of the Buddha statue Kowtow, pray that they can return safely this trip, and at the same time wish Mo Lao good health and good luck.

But Lu Ci's move didn't work, at least not currently, because they just wanted to check into a hotel in the tourist area of ​​Lambert Street, but they were found to have forged documents. Not only could they not settle down, but the hotel manager had to The police dealt with it, causing Yun Li to drag Lu Ci to run away, and finally got into the car and drove a long way to escape the disaster.

As a result, they probably wouldn't be able to get in to other hotels, so they had no choice but to drive towards the residential area on the south side of Lambert Street, and finally stopped in front of a two-story small house. Before nine o'clock in the evening, the family of the small house was resting in the shade in the small yard. When they saw the cool sports car parked in front of their house, the host came over with a big sunflower fan to see what happened.

This is the outer edge of the tourist area, the infrastructure is not perfect, there are no street lights on the roadside, relying on the light from the surrounding houses, so as not to rely entirely on the unclear moonlight to see the road.Under the limited vision, the owner of the house can only see the general outline of the person inside through the transparent car window of the awning, but this outline touched a certain nerve in his mind, and his body involuntarily moved closer to the sports car to see clearly .

At this moment, the awning of the sports car suddenly moved and slowly opened back. He didn't need to stick his face to see the faces of the people inside. Before he could speak hastily, he heard Yunli's words : "Brother Lin, I haven't seen you for more than a year. You, your sister-in-law and your child are all well."

"Brother Yunli, it's really you, why didn't you notify me in advance when you came to Langbo Street, I was still wondering who it was just now." Yunli got off the car, and the owner of the house gave him a warm hug. Shaking the big sunflower fan, he looked him up and down, as if to see if there was any change in Yunli from before.
