After wandering outside for more than an hour, he saw the sunset creeping into the sky little by little. Thinking that it was almost time to have dinner, Ding Ze swayed back to Caiyun Inn with a cigarette in his mouth.
Didn't wait to walk to the inn.
Sitting on the stone outside the inn, looking up at the sky, motionless, like a fat man in a daze, appeared in Ding Ze's field of vision.
Ding Ze saw it and walked over, "Fat man, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing the voice, the fat man came back to his senses and said, "I was thinking about nothing. I was in a daze. Where did you go, Old Ding?"
Ding Ze smiled and said, "You are wandering around, why are you sitting here alone? Lao Hu and Miss Yang haven't woken up yet?"
The fat man shook his head and said, "I woke up and the two of them went for a walk. I don't know where they went."
"So that's it. No wonder you were left behind. It's really not appropriate for you to follow a young couple to exchange feelings," Ding Ze joked and sat on the stone next to him.
Fatty: "...Old Ding, what you said makes it sound like I am happy to follow them..."
Ding Ze smiled and didn't dwell on the topic again.
The two chatted casually and waited for Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang to come back and have dinner together.
Time passes slowly.
Before you know it, the sky is filled with red clouds, and night is about to officially fall.
"They are back," at this time, Fatty saw Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang walking slowly side by side from a distance, and said.
Ding Ze saw it and stood up, "Let's go and get ready to eat. After eating, we will study the harvest this time. We should leave early tomorrow morning."
"Yeah," the fat man responded.
------------------
After a hearty meal, the four of them returned to the room.
Considering that the story Hu Bayi had to tell was quite long, Ding Ze opened his backpack directly after entering the room.
Immediately, because personal belongings are placed in zippered compartments, they will not be poured out together...
Therefore, Ding Ze turned over his backpack without any ink, and dumped the harvest contained in it onto the ground.
Immediately.
The stench from the walnuts that Mr. Xian Wang has been holding in his left hand and the jade ring in his right hand for the past two thousand years can be said to be gushing out!
moment.
All four of them were so stung that they stepped back.
"Damn it!! It really stinks!" Even though he was mentally prepared, Ding Ze couldn't bear it and cursed.
The fat man said immediately, "Old Ding, did you put shit in your backpack?"
Ding Ze: "(??へ??╬)..."
"Get out!!! This should be the corpse smell from the walnuts and jade rings I took out from Mr. Xian Wang's hand. If any of you have sealable bags, put them in quickly!"
Hear this.
Hu Bayi covered his nose and quickly found the sealed bag from his backpack.
"Fat man, go open the window and ventilate it for a while, otherwise the dinner I just ate will be in vain!" Hu Bayi grabbed the sealed bag and said to the fat man.
After saying that, he added, "Just open a slit, don't push it all the way!"
Immediately, enduring the stench, he returned to the pile of bright utensils on the ground.
The fat man heard this and without delay, he hurried to the window and pushed the window open slightly to create a gap the size of a palm.
Soon, Hu Bayi put all the walnuts and jade rings into sealed bags with neat hands and feet, "Okay, no problem."
When Ding Ze heard this, he didn't immediately walk over like Fatty and Shirley Yang. Instead, he lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, then raised his feet and slowly moved to the side of the opener.
At this time, Shirley Yang had already picked up Mr. Xian Wang's head from the ground and was studying it intently.
Fatty and Hu Bayi were also staring at the head.
Seeing this, Ding Ze thought for a while and said, "The Muchen Bead should be in the mouth of Mr. Xian Wang. I estimate that the jade transformation of this head most likely starts from the inside of the mouth and slowly moves out.
Diffused.”
"If that's the case... I'm afraid that the Muchen Bead has become integrated with the mouth. If we open the head with brute force, we might destroy the Muchen Bead."
"I think the problem with Muchen Bead should be solved after you go back."
As he spoke, Ding Ze looked at the walnuts and jade rings on the ground, which were put into two sealed bags.
"Now let's study this walnut and these jade rings first... Since they were brought into the coffin by Mr. Xian Wang, they must have some kind of function."
"Perhaps, they have something to do with how to use Muchen Beads."
Words spread.
Shirley Yang was naturally excited, "That makes sense!!"
Shirley Yang said something, put down the head in her hand, and turned to look at the walnuts and jade rings on the ground.
Hu Bayi also looked over.
Only the fat man had a different reaction.
The fat man looked at Ding Ze and asked in a somewhat puzzled tone, "Old Ding, you just said, 'You can find a solution after you go back.' Are you leaving again?"
The words hit my ears.
Ding Ze was slightly startled, then grinned, and glanced at Hu Bayi and Shirley Yang, who turned to look at him because they heard the fat man's words.
He originally planned to talk about it later, but now that Fatty has brought it up, it doesn't matter if he talks about it sooner or later...
Ding Ze smiled and nodded.
"Fat man, you are really too smart sometimes."
"I still have some personal matters to deal with. I have to leave when I get to the train station tomorrow. After I finish the matter, I will go to Panjiayuan to see you."
Fatty: "...Old Ding, the private matter you mentioned is that you are going to fight again? Which big tomb are you going to fight this time? Can you take me to see the world with you?"
The fat man opened his mouth and asked questions one after another.
Ding Ze smiled, shook his head and said, "Fat man, you really don't know how to be content... Don't think about it. I'm not going to fight this time. I'm just going to do some personal things. I can get it done in a few days."
After a brief fooling around, and not giving the fat man a chance to continue talking, Ding Ze decisively changed the topic and said to Hu Ba, "Old Hu, you know a lot about antiques. You can tell how this walnut and these jade rings are made.
Something?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Hu Ba heard this, he was slightly startled. After recovering, he smiled at Ding Ze, then withdrew his gaze, looked at the walnuts and jade rings on the ground, and spoke,
"This walnut should have nothing to do with the Muchen Bead..."
"Because ancient people had special feelings for walnuts. They regarded walnuts as a kind of sacred object that could ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters, and increase longevity..."
"..."
"As early as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the custom of emperors being buried with walnuts in their hands already existed..."
Just like in the original work, Hu Ba talked about it one by one and talked about some allusions about walnuts.
Ding Ze listened quietly and nodded pretendingly, "I've also heard of the saying of being buried with a walnut in hand... It seems that this walnut may have nothing to do with the Muchen Bead."
Ding Ze said in agreement, then pointed at the jade rings in the sealed bag and asked, "What about these jade rings?"
Hu Bayi's eyes moved slightly and fell on the jade ring.
Fatty and Shirley Yang also looked over together.
Only seen.
These jade rings are quite smooth and have obviously been used repeatedly. They are generally quite simple, and there are no traces of fine carving on them... The material does not seem to be priceless, it just looks like ordinary jade.
Watched it for a while.
Hu Bayi picked up the jade ring, looked at it at a close distance, and said in a voice, "I have never seen this kind of jade ring. It's really hard to say what their function is..."
There was a pause.
Hu Bayi added, "However, I have a guess..."
Shirley Yang heard this and asked, "Tell me about it."
Hu Ba nodded, "Xianwang Laoer probably has only one pursuit in his life, which is to become an immortal... I was in the Rouzhi Taisui Coffin before, and I noticed that there were five colors in the alchemy furnace..."
Just like the original work, Hu Baala said, "Therefore, I guess that these jade rings may be used to communicate with gods..."
Hearing this, the fat man said, "Oh, I understand, it's just like asking for a fortune. Mr. Xian Wang threw these jade rings into the sky, and then saw what revelation the gods gave him."
Hu Bayi: "...No! I guess these jade rings should be used to support the shackles and form characters..."
Bah bah bah bah.
After hearing this, Ding Ze decided to interrupt and said, pretending to be surprised, "Old Hu, you mentioned the Fuji formula, and I have an idea..."
Ding Ze said, turning to Shirley Yang, "Ms. Yang, take out the Dragon Bone Book and compare it."
"I feel like the size of these jade rings is similar to the words on the Dragon Bone Book!"
When Shirley Yang heard this, her expression immediately changed, "Okay!"
In response, Shirley Yang quickly stood up, took her backpack, and took out the Dragon Bone Book.
It didn't take more than a minute.
The results appear!
"It's a perfect match!" Shirley Yang said, with a clear excitement in her voice, "It shouldn't be wrong. These jade rings are most likely a set of things similar to encryption code decoders."
"According to the principle of the decoder, I speculate that by arranging these jade rings in a certain order, we should be able to decipher the true information on the Dragon Bone Book..."
