Text_Chapter 1398 Finding the King of Locks
What, set off the day after tomorrow?
Xing Yuanqing looked at the old blind man and said, "Master, you haven't determined your location yet, so you'll set off the day after tomorrow. Isn't it too early?"
The old blind man smiled on his face and said, "I have my own sense of responsibility."
"But--" Xing Yuanqing wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Yi. Lu Yi said: "Since the old blind man is sure, we just follow him."
Lu Yi knew that although the old blind man was not reliable in normal times, he would never be careless about such a major event related to the inheritance of Longhu Mountain.
Xing Yuanqing looked at Lu Yi, then looked at the old blind man, and had to nod and agree.
"By the way, Yuan Qing, we need a few helpers to find the imperial seal this time. You can find it. If there is a suitable person, call it together." The old blind man ordered.
"Okay, leave this to me." Xing Yuanqing agreed.
"Professor Meng, I'm sorry to you today." After Lu Yi said that, he took out a bank card and handed it to Meng Pingyuan, and said with a smile: "Professor Meng, I have a little bit of a word, I hope you will accept it."
"It's not possible, it's not possible. Mr. Lu doesn't know that Mr. Ye has given me a lot of scientific research funds over the years. If Mr. Ye hadn't supported me, my research would have been impossible." After Meng Pingyuan finished speaking, he looked at the old blind man and said, "Senior, I have a request and I hope you can fulfill it."
The old blind man looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi understood and asked, "Professor Meng, you have any requirements but it doesn't matter."
Meng Pingyuan replied: "That's right. I have been engaged in the research of ancient Chinese characters, especially in ancient Mongolian language. I just heard from my seniors that you are going to find the imperial seal. I hope you can bring me with me. First, I want to open my eyes, and second, maybe I am a little useful to you."
Lu Yi's eyes lit up. It might be helpful if there was an expert who knew ancient Mongolianism to accompany him.
"Old blind man, what do you think?" Lu Yi asked.
The old blind man was very calm and asked Meng Pingyuan: "How many years have you been studying ancient Mongolianism?"
"For thirty years," Meng Pingyuan said: "I followed my father to study ancient Chinese characters since I was eight years old. Because my father admired Genghis Khan a generation of genius, I have been studying ancient Chinese characters since that time."
"Professor Meng, you can go with us to find Genghis Khan's tomb, personally, very welcome, but there are two things I have to explain to you in advance." The old blind man said seriously.
"Senior, please speak."
"The first thing is safety. We need to travel a long distance, thousands of miles away, the situation is dangerous and the environment is complex, and we may encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, and we may encounter ferocious birds and beasts. Even after finding the tomb, there are many unknown dangers to the tomb, so I cannot completely guarantee your life safety."
After hearing the old blind man's words, Meng Pingyuan's face changed. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind and said, "Senior, please rest assured, life and death are fate, wealth is in heaven. If I accidentally die on the road, it will be my life."
The old blind man seemed a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Meng Pingyuan was so free and easy, he said, "If you really have an accident on the road, how should I explain it to your family?"
"I have no family." Meng Pingyuan said: "I have been following my father to study ancient characters since I was a child. I depended on him for life. Ten years ago, my father died of illness. Since then, I have been alone. I have not married or had children. I have devoted all my energy to the study of ancient characters."
Meng Pingyuan looked very sincere when he spoke.
He continued: "I have no other dreams in my life. I just want to use what I have learned to make a little contribution to the inheritance of history. I always believe that our China has a history of five thousand years. As descendants of Yan and Huang, we should remember the honor and disgrace of our motherland's history."
Suddenly, Lu Yi and the others were in awe.
Meng Pingyuan is not only an expert in studying ancient characters, but also a very patriotic intellectual. People like them are the real backbone of the nation.
"Professor Meng, I admire your spirit very much. This time I look for the tomb of Genghis Khan, you can go with us!" The old blind man decided on the spot.
"Thank you, senior." Meng Pingyuan was overjoyed.
"Don't rush to thank me for now. There is one more thing I want to explain to you." The old blind man said: "If something happens along the way, you must forget everything you see and hear, do you understand?"
"Senior, don't worry, I will keep the secret and will never tell it." Although Meng Pingyuan has been doing research on ancient characters over the years, he occasionally follows the archaeological department tombs and has encountered some strange things. He knows that those things cannot be told, otherwise it will cause panic in society.
"Very good, then you go back and prepare. Come here to gather at 8 o'clock the next morning." said the old blind man.
"Thank you senior, thank you Mr. Lu." After saying a few words of thanks, Meng Pingyuan left happily and was busy going back to prepare things.
"Old blind man, let me ask, is there any doors in the tomb that are more difficult to open?" Lu Yi asked suddenly.
"What do you mean?" The old blind man was puzzled.
"I mean, are there locks in some doors or other places in the tomb? And that kind of lock is more difficult to open?" Lu Yi asked.
"Yes!" Xing Yuanqing replied to Lu Yi. Xing Yuanqing said: "I once entered a tomb of a prince and lord with my master, and I encountered a difficult lock inside. It gave me and my master a headache for seven days before we thought of a way to open it."
"Little bastard, what do you mean?" the old blind man asked in confusion.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "That's right. I know someone who is very good at unlocking the locks. If he dares to be the second in the world, no one dares to be the first in the world."
"Who?"
"Li Hongru."
"Damn!" Xing Yuanqing screamed: "Mr. Lu, can you call Li Hongru? No! I heard that after this guy was arrested, he was sentenced to lifelessness and is now in Qincheng Prison."
"Do you know him?" The old blind man asked Xing Yuanqing.
"Master, you don't know that Li Hongru is just a pervert. It can be said that there is no lock in the world that he can't open." Xing Yuanqing said.
"Since he is so powerful, why didn't he open the lock of Qincheng Prison?" asked the old blind man.
"This—" Xing Yuanqing was speechless.
"He has come out." Lu Yi smiled.
"It's out? It's impossible! He's sentenced to lifelessness, how can he come out?" Xing Yuanqing looked disbelief.
"I made him out." Lu Yi said: "He once helped me a little, and I promised to get him out, and I did what I said."
