"We only need what we need and we won't cause any other trouble."
At this time, a group of Japanese people became talkative.
Of course Xia Shang would not believe their lies, but even if they were lies, as long as these Japanese people could maintain stability at home, Xia Shang would be relieved.
"Although the three parties do not deal with each other, we all have the same goal in today's matter. When the time comes, there will be three copies of the general outline of the Book of Heaven, one for each person. Everyone will gain something, so there is no need for you to fight for it.
clear?"
Xia Shang asked again.
Ling nodded and turned to look at the three Japanese people outside the pavilion.
The three Japanese people exchanged glances with each other, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
Everyone knew it before they came. As long as they could get the outline of the Heavenly Book, they would be able to accept the outcome, and they wouldn't care if it was the only one.
It's just that the Japanese people are now wondering whether this boy can ask Zhuo Bufan for information about the Book of Heaven.
They captured Zhuo Bufan for a few days, and they learned how difficult this old man was. It was not easy to get him to talk.
Either he pretends not to hear, or he pretends to be out of breath, or he is half-dead, in any case, he just doesn’t know anything.
But he is so old, and he will be frightened to death at the slightest sign of trouble.
The Japanese had interrogated countless people, but this was the first time they encountered such a troublesome old man.
Xia Shang didn't care about what these Japanese people were thinking. He turned to Zhuo Bufan and said: "Old man Zhuo, you understand clearly when you are listening next to me, right? Everyone here wants the meridian map in your memory.
.Now I need you to draw it, do you understand?"
The Japanese frowned, feeling that with Xia Shang's tone, he had angered this difficult old man. What chance would he have to ask about the general outline of the Book of Heaven?
In doubt, Mr. Zhuo said without any nonsense: "Get a pen and paper."
Everyone was stunned. They never imagined that Mr. Zhuo would become so talkative. Could it be that there had been some unknown communication between them?
"Old sir, if you promised so freely, you couldn't possibly just draw something to deceive us, right?"
The Chinese outside interrupted, while Zhuo Bufan inside licked his lips in disdain and said lightly: "In this case, then we won't draw it."
Already."
"..."
The faces of several Japanese people changed. They all knew that the old man was deliberately making things difficult for them, but they didn't know what to say.
Ling Yi glanced at it unhappily and whispered: "I have seen the general outline of the Heavenly Book. I can tell if it is true or false at a glance. Who said nonsense just now? Please apologize to the old gentleman!"
"This..." The Japanese man who spoke was a little embarrassed, but the matter was so important that when he didn't care about face, he hesitated and quickly said with a smile: "Old sir, I was joking just now, please don't take it to heart..."
"Humph!" Zhuo Bufan snorted and saw that Zhuo Yuan behind him had put the pen and paper he had prepared in advance on the table of the small pavilion.
Zhuo Bufan stopped talking and took the pen and paper, but did not take action immediately. He turned his head and looked at Xia Shang, trying to get some clues from the boy's seriousness.
But Xia Shang didn't show any expression. He didn't care about the people around him at all. Instead, he exchanged glances with the little maid behind him.
Zhuo Bufan was a little confused now. He didn't know what Xia Shang meant. Did he really want to draw the meridian diagram exactly by himself?
Zhuo Bufan had never had a chance to communicate with Xia Shang alone since he came to Xiafu. After knowing that Xia Shang wanted him to draw the meridians for these Japanese people, Zhuo Bufan felt that there were many strange things in it.
Ever since Zhuo Bufan got the meridian map in Xiaoqingshan, he knew how important it was.
But Zhuo Bufan never imagined that this meridian map would be related to the legendary Heavenly Book.
After he was captured and questioned by the Japanese people, Zhuo Bufan gradually realized that the so-called meridian diagram was the general outline of the Heavenly Book and the most important part of the Heavenly Book.
Everyone knows the legend of the founding of the Hua Dynasty. What an important object the General Outline of the Heavenly Book is?
How could Zhuo Bufan be handed over to the Japanese?
He is close to a hundred years old. There is no one in the world who is less afraid of death than Zhuo Bufan. Therefore, Zhuo Bufan planned to bring the secret of the Book of Heaven to the coffin from the beginning. No matter who asked, he would not tell
of.
No one in the world would tell me, except Xia and Shang.
It's not that Zhuo Bufan regards Xia Shang as the only trustworthy person, it's just that the general outline of the Book of Heaven was originally obtained from Xia Shang.
Others don't know it clearly, but Zhuo Bufan understands it very well.
This small
Zi clearly knew that the meridian diagram was the general outline of the Book of Heaven. If he really wanted to hand over the general outline of the Book of Heaven to the Japanese, he could just draw one himself, and there was no need to tell the Japanese people about it through his hands.
This can only show that Xia Shang has an ulterior motive.
Zhuo Bufan didn't have any communication with Xia Shang, so he kept guessing Xia Shang's thoughts and wanted to know more clearly how he should cooperate.
But now Xia Shang didn't say a word and didn't give any hints. He seemed to be telling Zhuo Bufan that he just needed to draw out the contents in his memory honestly.
Zhuo Bufan hesitated for a long time and never started writing.
Several Japanese people seemed a little anxious, but after what happened just now, they felt uncomfortable asking.
Until Zero One was a little impatient.
"Old sir, you should start writing!"
"Why are you so anxious?"
At this moment, Xia Shang noticed Zhuo Bufan's hesitation and smiled faintly: "Old man Zhuo, don't put any pressure on me. It's useless to have a general outline of the Book of Heaven. Even if you give it to them, they won't cause any trouble."
After listening to Xia Shang's words, Zhuo Bufan nodded and finally started writing.
After all, I am getting older, so the hand holding the pen is trembling a little, and the lines on the paper look a little weird when I write one stroke.
Everyone frowned, and those who looked at it were a little doubtful. With such hands and feet, could they draw the general outline of the Book of Heaven?
Even if it is painted, would anyone still dare to believe it?
Zhuo Bufan himself also frowned and shook his head: "Here is the paper again."
Time passed by minute by minute, and the Japanese people in Xiafu remained motionless and did not dare to interrupt. They could only worry in their hearts.
It's true that this old man's painting is a bit too slow, but the key is that it doesn't look like he's just pretending.
"Old sir, can you hurry up? It's been so long, why don't you have any clues at all?"
"Hush...Old sir, you are being ignored. Please draw slowly and make sure it is accurate."
After two sentences, a small voice came from the Japanese people outside: "Don't yell, what if he is frightened by you, his hand shakes, and he makes a wrong stroke? Do we have to wait again?"
"At this rate, how long will we have to wait? It will probably take two days!"
