The master understood what Ji Limo was thinking, because he did not believe that it was just a plague. And the Taoist priest not only experienced the fifth prince killing the third prince, but also experienced this plague. Therefore, the Taoist priest must know this.
The truth. In fact, he also wanted to know what happened that year that caused the princes to flee to the south?
It stands to reason that the Dongmo Kingdom was the strongest country at that time. Even if the Prime Minister conspired with spies, the country would not be destroyed because of this. Something big must have happened to cause the entire palace to be in chaos.
"In this case, we should be careful. If the clan leader is really that Taoist priest, then his strength cannot be underestimated." The master said.
"I have always been wary of him. Although I know he has been poisoned, he will not be idle. Xi'er has already made preparations, otherwise she would not let him out suddenly." Ji Limo said.
"Don't force it, I'm just worried that the clan leader keeps telling lies and what he says won't be true," the master said.
As for the master, he is not familiar with the patriarch, but he knows that the patriarch seems to be very treacherous. Everything he says needs to be tasted carefully. Maybe he will be plotted by him at some point. But he has always believed in Xi'er, because in this world,
No one can plot against the little girl.
"We will consider his words carefully, don't worry, Master," Murong Xi said.
A few people were chatting outside. In the study, Alan sat attentively at the desk and stared at the maps.
No matter how you look at the treasure map, you can't see any problems. Only after taking it apart can you see that it is a map of an ancient tomb.
Did he not look carefully enough?
A-Lan accidentally spilled tea on the silk because she was confused. Fortunately, the tea had cooled down, otherwise the silk would have been burned and wrinkled.
He wiped the tea stains off with his sleeve, but the silk was still wet. But Alan unexpectedly discovered that the map had changed slightly.
It turns out that the secret of this picture is...
Alan smiled, took the map and walked out.
When Murong Xi saw A-Lan coming out, she actually didn't have much hope. After all, A-Lan had not been in for an hour, so it was very likely that she would not find anything.
"Wizard, Saint, I discovered the secret of the map." A Lan said excitedly.
"How did you find out?" Murong Xi asked.
For Murong Xi, she was not curious about the secret of the map. What made her curious was how A Lan found the solution.
"I discovered it by accident. I thought it couldn't be cracked, but I didn't expect that by an accident, I succeeded." A Lan said.
"What's going on?" Murong Xi asked anxiously.
Alan laid the map flat on the table, picked up the kettle on the table, tested the temperature, and sprinkled the water on the map.
In an instant, the map was soaked. A Lan used a handkerchief to absorb the water on the map, and the map was in a semi-dry state.
Alan said: "Everyone, come and see."
A Lan called everyone over, and several people gathered around to look at the changes on the map. However, they saw that the map was a little wet, and there were no other changes.
Murong Xi asked anxiously: "There hasn't been any change?"
"Look at it like this." A Lan turned the map over. Because it was made of silk, it was very thin, especially after being exposed to water. After turning the map over, he discovered that the patterns drawn on it were actually see-through from the reverse side.
Came over.
Murong Xi was very shocked. It turned out that the picture he drew was not from the front, but from the back after it was wet.
The pattern of the treasure map that was turned over had no resemblance to the original pattern. Murong Xi had to sigh that the person who drew this painting was a powerful person.
The picture after turning it over was very strange. Ji Limo quickly took a piece of white paper and pen and ink and drew the picture above first. Because he was worried that he would not be able to see the treasure map after it was dried.
"What kind of place is this? It seems to be another map. It doesn't look like an ancient tomb." Murong Xi calmed down and said.
The master was full of doubts. It turned out that patterns could appear on this picture, so he said: "It looks like a tacky treasure map from the front, but when you see the water, it turns out to be a map on the back? Could it be that after you open it, it will look like a tacky treasure map?"
Is it a big map?”
I originally thought that it was just because of the silk that the patterns would show through. What the master didn't expect was that all the patterns showed through. Coincidentally, these patterns looked like a complete map.
But it seemed that no one of them had ever seen the place in this picture, which was really strange. The treasure map indeed had a lot of secrets, and the person who drew it was indeed a master.
However, they had seen water before the silk painting, so why didn’t such patterns appear?
A Lan shook his head and said: "After opening it, the pattern disappears. If there are still patterns showing through after opening it, it means that this is not a secret. But after opening it, the pattern disappears automatically, leaving only five pictures.
Only when they are put together can such lines appear."
"Where is this place, and why is there an extra map?" Murong Xi asked.
Alan said: "These patterns are very similar to the patterns on the ancient cemetery map,"
"But after opening the silk map, isn't it just a map of the entire ancient tomb? Why bother to go back and draw it again?" Murong Xi said in confusion.
A Lan did not speak, but separated the silk paintings. The map, which was already half-dry, quickly dried.
After A-Lan carefully spread out the painting, he said: "Wizun, the picture you just painted can now be compared."
Ji Limo put the picture he drew aside. It seemed that A Lan was right. This map was part of this picture. But which part was it specifically? These pictures are all connected and can be easily understood at a glance.
It can be seen that it is a map of an ancient tomb, but where does this newly discovered drawing come from?
Murong Xi had never been to the tomb, so she couldn't understand it no matter how hard she looked, so she sat back on her chair. The rest of the matter was left to them.
Ji Limo looked at the pictures on the table carefully, then compared the pictures in his hands, and finally found the common points besides the marks.
"The content of this picture is very detailed. If you look carefully, the big picture only shows an extra tomb next to the main hall, while the small picture seems to be a map of the tomb." Ji Limo said excitedly.
Several people looked at the map and after carefully identifying it, they discovered that although the small picture enlarged the picture, it was indeed as Ji Limo said that this picture enlarged the details in the tomb. Of course, not only that, the above
It seems to also describe how to enter this tomb.
"Is this what the patriarch is looking for?" the master asked in confusion.
"It's very possible." Ji Limo said.
"No, if we just let him look at the map, how dare he throw it into the water? If it was really thrown into the water, we would also be able to see the changes in the map. Moreover, he is so brave, he dares
Do you want to do this?" Master asked puzzledly.
The master is right. If you want to know the secret of the small map, you can only get the map wet. But it is impossible for the clan leader to do this, because after it gets wet, they will also discover the secret. The clan leader can only make sure that he
If you see it, you won't do it.
What's more, they just threw the map into the water because they trusted Ah Lan, but if the clan leader did this, Ji Limo would definitely slap him first.
So, what exactly does the clan leader want? Is there any other secret?
"I suspect that he just wants to find an excuse to say that this map is fake. Have you forgotten that he repeatedly emphasized before that if the Taoist priest appears on the map, he will appear? Now that I don't see half a shadow of the Taoist priest, he naturally
This can be used to explain it." Feng Mingye thought for a while and said.
Murong Xi wanted to use this excuse to deceive the clan leader before, but the clan leader was very smart and would naturally think of this method to determine the authenticity of the map.
"Even if they are fake, you can't throw away these maps. Is that what he thinks?" Murong Xi asked in confusion.
"Did he plan to accidentally pour the tea on the map? I really didn't bother to get the map wet before, and that's when I discovered the secret of the map." A Lan said.
Ji Limo said: "It's probably impossible to steal the map. After all, he failed last time, so he won't do it easily this time. Allan has read the map over and over again, but he hasn't found anything wrong with it.
, if he hadn’t accidentally spilled the tea, he wouldn’t have discovered such a deeply hidden mini-map. It’s really hard to guess what he wanted to do.”
"Next we can only test him." Murong Xi said.
"How to test?" Master asked.
"I have arranged for someone to imitate this painting on silk. Of course, it is not as good as any of my predecessors, but it is more than enough to deceive the clan leader. Unless... he has seen this treasure map." Murong Xi said.
"If I really have you, why would you cooperate with the clan leader and even waste silk?" the master said helplessly.
"I just want to see what he wants to do. Anyway, he has long thought that Ji Limo and I are very greedy." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"I probably think you are greedy and have nothing to do with me." Ji Limo shrugged and said.
In fact, the patriarch really thought at first that Ji Limo changed his mind so quickly because Ji Limo wanted to get the treasure. However, he did not expect that Ji Limo did this for Murong Xi. Therefore, in the patriarch's heart, Ji Limo
Li Mo is the greedy person.
"No matter what you do, be careful." the clan leader warned.
"Yes, Master." Murong Xi nodded and said.
After the master finished his instructions, he took A-Lan and left the front hall. After A-Lan returned to the house, he said to the master: "Master, I didn't expect that the saint and the witch would let me study that map."
In fact, Alan was a little excited. For him, robbing tombs was just for fun, and he happened to be very interested in studying treasure maps and antiques. When he saw the treasure map before, he was actually very excited, but he
Controlled myself.
But what he didn't expect was that the saint actually asked him to do the research. He knew it was because of his master and because Murong Xi told the truth, so he didn't feel any restraint. On the contrary, he felt that Ji Limo and Murong Xi treated others
Very sincere, this was something he had never thought of.
"They are all sincere people. You will know after getting along with them." The master just said this sentence.
