() Before seven o'clock the next day, while Wang Xiaobo was still sleeping, Ma Lin already knocked on his door.
Last night, Wang Xiaobo had a conversation with his mother and took out the gifts Xiaomei bought for him: a sweater, a pair of woolen pants and a pair of cotton leather shoes. He gave her another five thousand yuan and asked her to pay off the debt.
Her mother seemed to be in a dream and shed tears without thinking. Then the village chief Wang Ermao came to see him. Wang Xiaobo was grateful for his efforts in college and gave him a digital watch and a cloud of smoke.
Wang Xiaobo usually doesn't smoke, and occasionally plays a few. This time, Xiaomei knew that Wang Xiaobo was going to work in the county, so she used the leftover 200 yuan in foreign exchange coupons from the overseas Chinese store to buy two pieces of Hongtashan and two pieces of Yunyan. At that time, cigarettes were also required.
With a ticket, these good cigarettes are only available in overseas Chinese stores.
That night, Wang Xiaobo chatted with the village chief very late. They mainly discussed a rough plan for planting mushrooms and black fungus. He also knew that the villagers were short-sighted and only focused on immediate interests. They would not do anything without seeing the benefits.
In the name of the Qianjiang Agricultural and Sideline Products Company, 10,000 yuan was paid in advance. The village chief was a little unbelievable when he saw this thick stack of banknotes, but with the genuine RMB in front of him, he had to believe it.
.
Since Wang Xiaobo didn't bring many strains, he tentatively selected three families with high school students in their homes to test the seeds first. He asked the three high school students to come to his house the day after tomorrow to learn planting techniques. At the same time, he asked the village chief to draft a team that could do carpentry and plastering.
The list of people came out and asked them to go to Lingnan to work.
The monthly salary is no less than 200 yuan. When the village chief heard this, he immediately became jealous and said that he could also do carpentry. Wang Xiaobo smiled and said, you don’t have to go, you should stay in the village and open a mushroom and black fungus processing factory. This evening he
The two of them chatted until about two o'clock in the morning, then took a break.
Therefore, when I heard Marin knocking on the door this morning, I got up in a hazy state. I saw Marin wearing suede mountaineering shoes, jeans, canvas Shilin work clothes, sunglasses, and carrying a large canvas bag.
Wang Xiaobo almost laughed out loud: "It's a hot day, so you're not afraid of getting sick if you cover it up?"
"You don't understand this. You have to wear thicker clothes when working in the field, otherwise your skin will peel off." Marin said with experience.
Wang Xiaobo thought about it. After all, he had nearly ten years of field work experience. He also put on the travel shoes and jeans that Xiaomei bought for him before going to Hong Kong. After thinking about it, he took out the money from the box that he had dug with the silver coins last time.
The pair of glasses with six lenses came out, and when I saw the piece of silver with three pictures on it, I put it in my arms.
At this time, his mother had already cooked breakfast for them. So the two of them ate a bowl of porridge and two corn tortillas with pickles. After eating, Wang Xiaobo thought about it and wrapped six more corn tortillas in plastic bags.
Put it in the canvas bag. Say hello to my mother and go out.
Two hours later, they finally climbed onto the cliff. Entering the temple gate, they saw Master Tianyi in the third realm, meditating there.
Wang Xiaobo saw that the master had his eyes closed, shaking his head and thinking about something. He was about to speak, but the master stopped talking: "Xiaobo is here, sit down. The other one will also sit down together."
Ma Lin thought, this humble old man is really not that simple. With his eyes closed, he knew that two people were coming, and he also knew that one of them was Wang Xiaobo. Suddenly, a feeling of admiration arose spontaneously, and he sat down obediently.
.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ma Lin sat down, he saw Master Tianyi hit Wang Xiaobo with a palm. He screamed and stood up again. But Wang Xiaobo seemed to be sitting there unconsciously, letting the palm hit his chest firmly.
.
"That's right, I haven't lost my kung fu, it's just that my mental skills have only reached the second level. But this Ren Du's second channel can open up for you." Master Tianyi said to himself.
Only then did Marin realize that the two masters and apprentices were proving their martial arts skills, and they looked too scary.
Master Tianyi glanced at Ma Lin: "It's great to have friends from far away come to see you for tea."
Wang Xiaobo ran to the master's room and made three cups of tea. After coming out, he took out a sweater, a pair of woolen trousers, and a pair of cotton shoes from his bag and presented them to them respectfully.
Master Tianyi didn't seem to care about these clothes, shoes and hats: "Say, you and this little friend came to the temple not just to see me?"
Wang Xiaobo quickly introduced to the master: "This is Engineer Ma Lin from the Provincial Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. He discovered a strange phenomenon from the aerial photos and wanted to ask you, master."
So, Ma Lin told Master Tianyi about his discovery and the results of their research in the past few days in detail. Master Tianyi seemed to be in trance, with an expressionless face and fell into deep contemplation. The two of them
He looked at Master Tianyi silently and did not bother him.
Ten minutes later, Master Tianyi said slowly: "That year, the Japanese suddenly arrived at the temple from Wangjiacun. Without saying a word, they arrested me and built a bunker in the temple. In the evening,
A Japanese officer who could speak Chinese came and asked about the situation in the temple, such as whether there were many incense burners and offerings.
What kind of Bodhisattva are you waiting for? He never looked for me again, so he kept me locked up for three years, during which he was quite polite to me. Until the day I was released, this Japanese officer who could speak Chinese came again and told me
, the war is over, the temple still has to burn incense, you should go back to your old job, otherwise, the temple will be abandoned."
Master Tianyi said as he took a sip of tea: "In the past three years, I had many opportunities to escape, but I gave up all of them, just to find out what the devil was doing in my temple. However, at thirty
Years have passed and I still haven’t figured out the mystery.”
"When the master came out of the temple three years later, did he notice any difference?" Wang Xiaobo asked.
Master Tianyi shook his head: "After I came out, I paid special attention to it, and there were no big changes. It's just that some trees on the cliff over there were cut down. I think they were used for building fortresses? There were also some trees under the cliff.
Some small protruding platforms were flattened by the bombing. As for the three stone tablets, the original words were missing and were polished smooth."
When Wang Xiaobo heard the master talking about the three stone tablets, he suddenly remembered the three paintings on the silver piece: temple, three stone tablets, and cave. How come these three paintings are so similar to the secret they want to explore in front of them? Is it just a coincidence? So
, Wang Xiaobo took out the piece of silver: "Master, do you think these three paintings are just a coincidence?"
Master Tianyi took the painting and looked at it carefully. After a while, he looked at Wang Xiaobo in surprise: "Where did you get this painting?"
"It's also a coincidence. I got it by chance, and these glasses are in the same box." Wang Xiaobo replied.
Master Tianyi murmured to himself: "It's really the way of heaven, it's really the way of heaven!"
"You see, the temple in this painting has cornices at three corners, only the southeast corner has no cornices. When our temple was built, we deliberately did not build the cornices at the southeast corner due to Feng Shui reasons, in order to ward off evil spirits. There are also these three stone tablets.
Is the middle piece particularly high? It can't be such a coincidence?" Master Tianyi explained to them as he painted.
Ma Lin also took the painting and looked at it carefully, nodding frequently: "Xiao Wang, let's compare and take a look."
Master Tianyi then took them to see the places corresponding to the paintings one by one.
Wang Xiaobo thought that there might be a coincidence in the stone stele, and the cornices had different feng shui, so it was more than just a coincidence. Now that the temple and the stone stele were aligned, as for the cave, he became more and more convinced that there must be a cave under the cliff.
But what do these three paintings mean?
When Ma Lin saw Wang Xiaobo staring at the painting in deep thought, he smiled and said, "This painting seems to be a treasure map."
Wang Xiaobo suddenly realized: "Yes, this is a treasure map. The person who drew it must have been to this place, and perhaps participated in the project to build this treasure house. But due to an unexpected reason, he could no longer come here, so he drew
This painting tells the next generation or a certain person to come and collect the treasure."
Marin said with a worried look: "What you said is logical, but the problem is that even with this treasure map, the secrets of this temple cannot be solved."
Wang Xiaobo said: "We may have overlooked a key link, and this link is precisely related to the treasure map. If we find this link, I believe all problems will be solved."
Marin stopped thinking about the treasure map and asked Master Tianyi: "Master, think about it, was it possible for the Japanese to use the bunker as a cover to dig a tunnel in the temple and go down to the cliff?"
Master Tianyi shook his head: "If you have to dig down four to five hundred meters, it won't be completed in a few days. During the more than three years I was imprisoned, I always paid attention to their every move, and there was no sound for a long time."
.There were two sudden noises. One was relatively far away.
Boom, boom, there were several explosions, maybe blowing up the protruding part on the other side of the cliff. Once again, there was only one explosion in the temple. Later, they heard that it was a wild boar that ran into the temple, and they used grenades to kill it.
It was fried to death, and I was given a bowl of wild boar to eat in the evening."
Seeing Master Tianyi say this, Ma Lin couldn't help but feel a little upset, and patted the stone tablet suddenly. Suddenly, he stared at the stone tablet, and then carefully touched the stone tablet with his hand: "Since it is a treasure map
, then the order is to find the temple first, and then from the temple
He found the stone wall inside, and finally found the cave in the stone wall. In other words, the specific location of the cave should be on this stone tablet." As he said that, he gently scraped the corner of the stone tablet with a knife and sniffed under his nose for a while:
"This stone tablet is indeed famous."
Master Tianyi and Wang Xiaobo were both puzzled: "What's the trick?"
Ma Lin said: "Although I studied surveying and mapping in college, I also majored in chemistry because I was particularly interested in chemistry. When I touched the stone tablet just now, I felt something strange, as if it was coated with a layer of chemical.
Substance. Writing on this kind of chemical substance is invisible to the naked eye."
Wang Xiaobo asked: "If it is true as you said, there are words on it, under what conditions can it be seen?"
Marin replied: "It can be seen if there is a lens coated with another chemical substance."
Wang Xiaobo was suddenly moved by something, and he quickly took out the pair of glasses with six lenses from his pocket: "This pair of glasses and the painting are in the same box, maybe they correspond to each other."
"Didn't you tell me earlier?" Ma Lin said, grabbing the glasses from Wang Xiaobo's hand, inserting the red lenses first, and looking at the stone tablet: "Ah, there are really words on it."
