Gu Zheng soaked his feet in the crystal clear spring water, and a cool feeling suddenly filled his body from the soles of his feet. "Wow...it feels so comfortable." Gu Zheng closed his eyes and said with a look of enjoyment. After two consecutive days of traveling, even the strong Gu Zheng was a little overwhelmed, and a thick layer of calluses had already formed on the soles of his feet.
After a while, Gu Zheng opened his eyes. He turned around and looked warily at the camp not far behind him, and then took off the worn-out baggage he was carrying.
There were not many things in the baggage. A set of semi-old clothes neatly folded, a tattered-looking notebook and a thick thread-bound book. The paper edges of the thread-bound book were rolled up and the cover It also looks very old. There is a line of handwritten text on the cover, but the text looks very weird. Most people can't really tell what the characters are.
In addition to these more conspicuous things, there are also many other bits and pieces in the baggage. There are three bulging oil paper packages, one is marked "cinnabar" with vermilion ink, and the other two paper packages are marked "cinnabar". It says "green salt" and "glutinous rice", and I don't know what they are used for. In addition, there is a bottle of ink and an ink fountain; a compass the size of a watch is inconspicuously pressed down by other things. , Gu Zheng spread out the contents of the bag before finding it. When he saw these things, Gu Zheng's face became a little serious.
Gu Zheng reached out to the set of clothes that he had folded neatly again. The touch was hard. When he touched something hard, Gu Zheng felt boiling and nervous. This was a piece of clothing left by his master. An ancient sword. It is said that this ancient sword has very powerful power. The master usually enshrines it and does not let Gu Zheng touch it easily.
Gu Zheng was the master who came into contact with this ancient sword for the first time just before he died. Before his death, the master used up his last life force to tell him about the origin of this ancient sword, and finally handed him an ancient book and an ancient book passed down by his ancestors. It was the notebook that recorded the master's life history. It was only after Gu Zheng came into contact with this notebook that he had a true understanding of his master's life.
Gu Zheng knew the importance of this ancient sword, so he hid it carefully in his clothes. He touched it carefully, nodded with peace of mind, looked around again, took out the master's notebook, and tied up the bundle. He got up, tied it on his back, and patted it on the ground. After feeling that it was very strong, he smiled with satisfaction.
Opening the master's notebook, Gu Zheng carefully turned over the pages. This notebook had been with the master for unknown years. The papers were almost loose. If he turned the pages with too much force, the notebook would turn into a stack. The paper was shredded.
The content in the master's notes is very complicated. It basically records many experiences, insights and insights in the master's life. When Gu Zheng read the master's notes, he felt very difficult. Because in the master's notes, except for those that Gu Zheng was proficient in, In addition to traditional and simplified Chinese characters, there are occasionally some ancient seal script and oracle bone inscription symbols mixed in. These contents are more serious, but these are not enough to give Gu Zheng a headache. What really makes Gu Zheng feel collapsed when he looks at it is that this note also contains There are ancient Latin and other hieroglyphs. It can be said that almost all of the world's extinct and not-extinct texts that few people have mastered can find a certain place here.
If Sun Yan sees this book, he will definitely wipe away his previous impression of Master Gu Zheng. This knowledge is not something that ordinary Feng Shui masters can master. With Master Gu Zheng's knowledge, he can at least be safe in the country. The title of a learned master is becoming less and less valuable anyway.
Gu Zheng couldn't help but want to curse when he looked at those complicated characters. When his master taught him various ancient characters, he was really not very interested and didn't work hard at learning. So he very much doubted whether the master was deliberately playing tricks. He deliberately left such a notebook in nearly ten different languages. Didn't this force him to work hard to learn those boring symbols? Therefore, the master's behavior was very shameless. But Gu Zheng had to read every step of the master's words carefully. A character left behind, because behind these characters, there are hidden secrets and powers. Therefore, Gu Zheng inevitably endured great pain to study and decipher the notes left by his master, but every time he gained insight into a After getting strength, Gu Zheng is always extremely excited and excited. Gu Zheng said that his menstruation is both painful and joyful.
"Master, tonight is the first time for my disciple to act alone. As a spirit in heaven, you must protect my disciple until he succeeds and don't lose your old man's face!" Gu Zheng murmured a prayer with a look on his face. Pious.
"When I come back from Lijiayu, I will burn some paper money and give you two beautiful girls, no, three will do." Gu Zheng showed a cheerful smile on his face, thought for a while, and said: "Forget it. , I burned two of them last time, and you didn’t tell me in your dreams whether you were satisfied or not. Can your body be able to handle it? The quality of the food in Hu Mazi’s Paper Man and Paper Horse shop is very good, but this guy has been very bad recently. "Be kind, prices are skyrocketing, my disciple's life is not easy, and I don't know the password of the bankbook you left, so I'd better kill a pheasant to worship your old man." Gu Zhengzai said seriously. He didn't know his master Quan. I wonder if the coffin board will be broken.
"Gu Zheng, you're back for dinner..." Sun Yan's loud voice suddenly echoed in the valley. Sun Yan's voice matched his figure.
"Oh..." Gu Zheng quickly stuffed the notebook in his hand into his bag and hurried towards the camp that had been set up.
In the camp, several bonfires have been burning at this moment. In this mountain, the most indispensable thing is prey. The hares and deer that the team members hunted during the day have been skinned and cleaned, and they are placed on top of the bonfire. , the golden skin secreted drops of oil, and the fragrance suddenly filled the entire camp.
During dinner, Gu Zheng had a good appetite. He ate a deer leg, a loaf of white bread and a can of meat. After dinner, Sun Yan asked him some news about the journey ahead. Gu Zheng He spoke everything he knew, and explained everything he knew in detail.
When Sun Yan heard that there was a Taoist temple more than thirty kilometers away, Sun Yan couldn't help but frown. He thought for a long time, but didn't say anything.
After a day of driving, everyone was exhausted. The team members who had eaten and drank enough, except for those on duty, all got into the sleeping bags in the tent and slept. Before entering the tent, Gu Zheng hung a string of small bells outside the tent. . He looked at the string of bells and murmured: "I really hope I can be safe tonight..."
