The master felt a little strange. He had just sent someone over to ask for A-Lan's opinion. It only took half an hour, but he suddenly invited them over again. If something hadn't happened suddenly, how could it have happened so suddenly?
Ji Limo smiled and said, "Master, Alan, please sit down first and then talk. Actually, I have something I want to ask Alan."
Ji Limo's words surprised Ah Lan. He didn't know how he could help. Ji Limo was so polite, which made him a little overwhelmed.
"Witch Lord, don't say that. If A-Lan can help, he will definitely do his best." A-Lan continued.
"I found a treasure map in the forbidden area that day. I went to the darkroom today. After hearing that there were mountains and treasure chests on the treasure map, the patriarch's expression changed. I guess he knew something, but he
You won't tell me easily. But based on your experience, see if you can figure out the secret of the sheepskin map?" Ji Limo slowly took out the map and said.
After A-Lan took the map, he did not read the content on the map, but smelled the sheepskin first. Ji Limo thought A-Lan would look at the mountains and treasure chests drawn on the map first, but did not expect that he would smell it first.
smell.
Then A Lan rubbed the map with his hand, and then looked at the painting on it. After looking at it carefully, he said: "The map is not one, but several pieces put together. Because it is too thin, it is difficult to see
It looks like one. Moreover, this map is not made of sheepskin."
"Not one?" Ji Limo was a little surprised.
The texture of this map is obviously sheepskin, and there is only one map. No matter how you study it, there is no interlayer. How did A Lan figure it out?
"The map doesn't have a special smell. It's just that although the texture is very similar to sheepskin, it's really not. If you want to separate the map, it's not impossible." A Lan said.
"This is a complete map. If it were separated, wouldn't it be broken into several pieces? Wouldn't it still have to be pieced together?" Murong Xi asked.
"No, that's not the case. This map has at least four or five complete maps glued together, so after being separated, there are five maps. Just like this treasure box, it is actually a painting on the bottom because the paper is thin.
It's reflected on the mountains." Alan explained.
Murong Xi was very surprised after hearing what A Lan said. The ancients were really smart. That is to say, someone used very thin paper to draw five paintings, and then dipped the several paintings together. It looked like one
Sheepskin map.
"So, it seems that this map is a bit strange. You can't tell what is strange, right?" Murong Xi asked.
"Yes." Alan replied.
That's it. The mountains on the treasure map are very similar to the mountains in the tribe, and the location of the treasure chest is a bit strange. It happens to be near the gold mine. Everyone in the tribe knows about this gold mine, but there are a few people who can tell it.
What about evacuating the gold mines? So, it’s not even worth drawing on a parchment map.
No, Alan just said, this is not a sheepskin map.
Therefore, if you separate the map, you can clearly see what is drawn on it.
"What are your plans?" Ji Limo first asked Murong Xi's opinion.
"If A-Lan has any idea, we must open the map. It turns out that the secret of the map is like this, no wonder we have no clue. If A-Lan hadn't been experienced, we wouldn't have been able to figure it out." Murong Xi shrugged.
Murong Xi has always felt that tomb robbers are well-informed, especially in a family like A-Lan who has been robbing tombs for generations. Therefore, Murong Xi particularly admires A-Lan. He is also very fortunate that his master can think of A-Lan and bring him to Fengtian Sect.
Otherwise they may be very passive.
"This can be regarded as a coincidence. Grandpa once told me before. At that time, I thought it was just a short story. I didn't expect that my master actually took out some pieces of almost transparent paper with strange paintings on them.
"Alan said with a smile.
"Then give it a try and separate the map." Ji Limo said.
A-Lan first asked people to prepare white vinegar and white wine, and took a wooden basin and filled it with some water. A-Lan poured the white vinegar and white wine into the basin, stirred it with his hands, and threw the map directly into it.
In fact, few of them thought that A Lan would directly throw the map into the basin, but they did not stop him, probably because they believed in him.
After throwing the map in, A-Lan didn't rush to take it out, wiped his hands and sat back on the chair.
None of the people rushed to ask Alan. Alan should be very sensible and he should know the importance of this thing. Besides, even if the map is destroyed, it is not that important to them.
About a quarter of an hour later, A-Lan walked to the table and took out the map that was soaked in the tub. However, he could see clearly that what he took out was a very thin piece of paper. A-Lan put the paper
He picked it up and clamped it with a clip. Ji Limo personally took the clip and hung it directly on the window to dry. However, A Lan took out a total of five pieces of tissue paper from the wooden basin. Ji Limo carefully put the paper
They were all hung on the window to dry.
After the wooden basin was taken away, Murong Xi was very curious, so he thought about it and said, "Such a thin piece of paper didn't break when exposed to water."
Murong Xi looked at these pieces of paper carefully, but found that there were no patterns on them. Could it be that the ink marks on the paper disappeared because of the liquor and vinegar?
A Lan said: "I said before that this is not a sheepskin map, but it is not ordinary paper either. This is a very thin silk. This technology is really something from the Dongmo Kingdom."
"Silk?" Murong Xi asked in surprise.
It was not that she had never seen silk before. Even her two sets of clothes were made from thousand-year-old silk. But she had never seen such thin silk, which was even somewhat transparent.
"Yes, in fact, this is also a kind of thousand-year-old silk, but it is very thin and cannot be used to make clothes and handkerchiefs. I just didn't expect that anyone would use it to draw pictures. Dongmo Country is really full of talents. It's a pity that Dongmo Country
The prime minister back then colluded with others to get out of control. Otherwise, Dongmo Country might be the strongest among the five countries now." A Lan murmured.
"It turns out that this is how Dongmo Kingdom perished." Ji Limo said without any emotion in her heart.
Murong Xi's attention was on the silk, and she asked: "But there is no ink stain on this silk. Is it because the ink stains dissolved when it saw water?"
Alan shook his head and said: "This is the subtlety of silk. After it dries completely, the traces of pen and ink will slowly appear."
"It turns out it's because of this. I really didn't expect it." Murong Xi said with emotion.
However, it turns out that there was a reason for the trouble in Dongmo Country back then. The Prime Minister colluded with spies from other countries, which led to the destruction of Dongmo Country. What exactly happened back then?
Because the silk is very thin, it dries quickly. As expected, the pattern of mountains is reflected on the silk.
Ji Limo took off the silk and put it on the table. It turned out that as A Lan said, each piece of silk was painted with a different pattern.
After placing the five pieces on the table, they found that the patterns on them were really strange.
Murong Xi said: "The patterns on the silk are really all different, but when put together they form a complete map. If it were just that simple, there would be no need to press these five pieces of silk together."
Murong Xi just felt a little strange. Putting five maps together is a complete map. Why bother to draw it on five pieces of silk? If these five pieces of silk were stored separately, she would understand, but obviously five
The sheets of silk are pressed together. What is the purpose of doing this?
A Lan approached the table and said: "Actually, the person who made this map is very powerful, because few people would throw such a precious thing into the water. Therefore, no one would know that this map was made with five
Made of silk. These five pictures can be put together to form another map."
After Ah Lan finished speaking, he started to jigsaw the five silk pictures, and soon the entire map was pieced together. Murong Xi was very surprised, and it turned out that this was a real map.
The person who drew this map was truly amazing, and Murong Xi admired him very much.
Several people gathered in front of the table and looked at the map carefully, because they wanted to know where the picture was.
The strange thing is that the treasure chest on the silk has disappeared.
"Where's the treasure chest?" Ji Limo asked.
A Lan said: "The treasure chest may be the trap of this picture. This is the power of the person who drew this picture. This picture should be a treasure map. At least everyone who sees this picture will
I think so. People who get this map usually look for treasures based on the mountains on the map."
Alan admired the senior who drew this map very much, because most people would not dare to study this map casually even if they knew there was something wrong with the map. Of course, no one would be willing to throw this map into water or burn it in the fire.
"It is true that no one is willing to throw the treasure map into the water. It is a treasure map." Murong Xi said.
Murong Xi agreed with what A Lan said, and she also admired the people who drew these treasure maps. In order to be able to hide the secrets of the treasure maps, they actually used such clever techniques. This person is really powerful.
However, after the five maps are put together, where exactly are they? What secrets are the people who drew the maps hiding?
The scenery on the map looks more and more familiar. Isn't it the map of Suoshan? Ji Limo found that the treasure chest was missing, so he put the five maps together and found that the treasure chest had appeared again.
He smiled, put the map back in place, and said to everyone: "It is indeed not the tribe's mountain range. It seems that we are right. It's just that there is no treasure chest at all."
"Since there is treasure on Suo Mountain, why isn't there any mark?" Feng Mingye said, looking at the map carefully.
The treasure map looks like a landscape painting, and there is no obvious mark as to where the treasure is. Even if someone really finds the five pictures of silk like them, they probably won't find the treasure.
In fact, A Lan is not familiar with the environment of Suoshan, but he has been to Suoshan to look for ancient tombs. He is very familiar with this picture. Everyone is right, what is drawn in this picture is indeed Suoshan.
landscape.
After the treasure map was put together, the scenery was much less than before, but it could be recognized at a glance as the scenery of Suoshan. But Feng Mingye was right, there were no marks at all to prove that this picture was a treasure.
picture.
"This place should be the cave in the middle of the mountain, right?" A Lan said, pointing to one of the treasure maps.
