The reply in the chat column was: "Yes, can I ask how you got it? I'm also very interested. You know, folk religion is very popular here on Bay Island."
"This belongs to a good friend of mine. He got it in Antarctica."
"Antarctica?"
A shocked exclamation mark was typed on the information column, and there was no reply for a long time. Hubble and a group of friends looked at each other, and Lucy typed on the keyboard to send out some tentative greetings.
After a while, there was finally news over there.
"Lucy, this is shocking... You know, Antarctica was almost never visited by anyone in ancient times... There are ancient religious fonts from China... It's hard not to feel incredible. If possible, I hope
You can come to Bay Island, I know a folklore master who is very knowledgeable about religion, of course, if you want to solve this mystery."
Communication is temporarily suspended.
Lucy held the piece of wood and looked at Hubble expectantly. The latter sighed and shook his head: "To be honest, I am indeed interested...but..."
His melancholy expression suddenly changed, and he clenched his fists excitedly and waved: "Of course I want to go! The company gave me a week's vacation with pay. If I don't go on a trip, I'm really sorry that I spent half a year in Antarctica.
!”
"yeah!"
Lucy was stunned by him. When the other party said these words excitedly, she also excitedly raised her hand and gave Hubble a slap in the face.
As for the others, they have their own things to do, so naturally they cannot go together. I just hope that after solving the mystery, I must tell them. After all, discovering ancient things in Antarctica is so imaginative.
That night, Hubble booked a flight to Huaguowan Island. At noon the next day, Hubble and Lucy hurriedly boarded the flight with salutes. After several hours of flight, they finally landed at Kaohsiung Airport.
The one who came to pick him up was naturally the netizen he had contacted last night. Hubble originally thought it was a man, but he didn't expect it to be a petite, long-haired beauty, wearing a peaked duckbill hat, hot pants, and canvas shoes.
, has a completely different sense of beauty from Lucy on the side.
"My name is Xu Meiting, from Kaohsiung!"
The Oriental Beauty's English was very fluent, with the unique accent of the Bay Island, which seemed a bit soft, which made Hubble a little uncomfortable. After the three briefly introduced themselves, they took a taxi and drove directly to the outskirts of the city.
"The folklore master is sitting on the edge of the city. You will see him later."
When people come here, they naturally follow each other. Hubble and Lucy also nodded heartily. As time passed, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. The surrounding streets gradually became dilapidated. At dusk, the mountains in the west were hung with rays of light.
Among them, the taxi stopped in front of a restaurant with a neon sign.
"This is it, follow me."
Hubble got out of the car and looked up at the surroundings. The dilapidated blocks and the overlapping and hanging signboards looked messy and confusing. He suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.
Lucy patted her back gently twice, signaling him to follow. The two of them followed Xu Meiting up the alley stairs next to the restaurant. On the second floor, they knocked on a faded door on the left.
.
"Master, I am Mei Ting."
For a moment, there was a figure walking in slippers inside, and the creaking wooden door creaked, and an old woman opened the door. Xu Meiting waved to her and smiled sweetly, and the old woman looked at the two foreigners behind her.
Immediately open the door.
"Meiting, you are an acquaintance so I won't say anything, but they are foreigners. I'm telling you, don't look around and touch them. Otherwise, if you mess with something dirty, don't blame me for yelling."
"Know it."
Xu Meiting followed her in, waved to Hubble and the two at the door, and then put her hands behind her back and shouted softly inside: "Master, excuse me."
Jingle Bell……
After passing through the long entrance hall, there was the sound of wind chimes swinging at the door of the inner hall. Hubble followed behind and carefully looked around. The windows to the outside were closed and the curtains were drawn, not a trace of sunlight came in.
There is a wooden sword on the wall, a Bagua mirror on the other side, and a few stacks of yellow talismans neatly stacked on the table. When the old green leather fan blows the wind, the yellow paper rises and falls.
The humming sound of the fan spinning, accompanied by the weird religious things around, felt a little infiltrating.
"here."
Wandao's unique English accent greeted the two of them. Hubble and Lucy came back to their senses. Following the voice, they saw an old Wandao man wearing glasses getting up and walking out from behind a quaint desk, flanked by people.
The two bookshelves are covered with rows of books, which obviously has a different feeling from here.
The old man whispered a few words to Xu Meiting, and the latter came over, stretched out her hand towards Hubble, "Bring it here and let Master have a look."
Hubble nodded, quickly took out the piece of wood from his pocket, and put it into the woman's hand. The old man took it and sat back at the desk, picked up the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. Almost half an hour had passed since then.
Hiss~~
Just when the three of them were a little impatient, they heard the old man take a breath, and Xu Meiting quickly stepped forward and asked: "Master Liu, do you see anything?"
The old man did not respond immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked to the bookshelf on the right. He ran his fingers across a book. When he reached the lower floor, he took out a book from above, blew the dust on it, and then quickly flipped through the books.
.
As if he had found it, he held the piece of wood next to the book and checked it back and forth, and muttered "hmm" for a moment: "It's solved."
"What is it?" Xu Meiting asked quickly.
The old man followed the corresponding handwriting on the book and deciphered the eight pronunciations word by word, turning it into a coherent sentence.
"Everyone who worships me will have their requests answered!"
Xu Meiting was stunned. She liked folk and religious stories, but this was the first time she heard such a loud statement. She translated these eight words to Hubble. After Lucy and the two listened, they urged her to help ask, what is this?
Font, why it appears in Antarctica.
The master over there was also a little embarrassed by this question, but he just said some of what he knew.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is an ancient Taoist edict, which is very different from today's edicts. According to legend, every edict written by a person with great magic power
Wen has infinite magic power, can subjugate demons and slay demons, and can also control the house to avoid evil, but why he appeared in Antarctica, I want to know the reason more than you do."
It seemed that he was attracted by the place where he found the piece of wood. The old man hurriedly searched for books on the bookshelf. After a while, he put three books in his hand on the desk and read them one by one.
Hubble, Lucy, and Xu Meiting were sitting on the wooden chairs used to entertain guests, eating snacks and tea brought by the old woman, and patiently waiting for the old man to crack it.
After all, if you know the eight characters on the wood chip, you may also be able to know the reason later.
Time passed little by little, and some people came to the old man to ask for divination and interpretation, but they were all sent away by the old man. Apparently they were completely immersed in searching for the truth.
when!
The clock on the wall reached nine o'clock, Hubble and Lucy dozed off on the chair with their chins propped up. At this moment, they suddenly heard the old man scream "Ah!"
The two woke up in a hurry. Xu Meiting, who was chatting with the old woman, also ran over from the living room. They saw the old man lying on his back on the chair with blood hanging from his mouth. The paper on the table was also stained red with blood and was covered with writing.
.
It should be a piece of content gradually composed of fragments found in other books.
"Master Liu!" Xu Meiting rushed over and helped the old man sit upright. The latter's breath was weak, and his trembling fingers pointed at the paper stained red with blood.
"You can't mess with it... you can't mess with it... you can't mess with it... that... is... the legendary... the legendary Tao... view..."
As soon as he finished speaking, his whole body twitched, his head tilted and he fainted.
