I took a brief look at the bamboo tube. It was yellow and old, and there was even a layer of shiny pulp on it. It looked like it had been there for some time.
Opening the cover on one side of the bamboo tube, Liu Baye took out a rolled thing. It looked a bit like paper, but the color was dull and yellow. This was by no means the color that paper should be, and it didn't look like it. The rules are a bit shabby, and you can still see holes in them.
The things that Mr. Liu could show me must be extraordinary. Although I couldn't wait, I still waited patiently for Mr. Liu to open it.
When Mr. Liu opened the so-called paper, I was shocked. The coffee table was transparent, and there was a projection light underneath, which allowed the countless holes on the paper to be projected. This also made me surprised to find that this was actually It's a map, a very old map.
I looked carefully at the densely packed holes, and finally got some clues from them. The large frame on the map was clearly the distribution map of Kyushu, and there were obvious hole lines in each place as a breakdown, marking the distribution of Kyushu. Every state.
In each state, there are dragon shapes of different shapes, and underneath each dragon shape are some weird shapes.
Some are round and some are square, some are like beads, and some are like a square tripod. bead! Fang Ding! I hurriedly opened my eyes to identify among these patterns, and unexpectedly I saw a pattern similar to a dragon sculpture. From this, I knew that the beads on it were actually blue dragon beads, and that the tripod was the green dragon on Liu Baye's mobile phone. Dragon tripod.
"Daddy, this is... the distribution map of the Nine Provinces Dragon Veins!" I exclaimed, looking a little emotional.
Liu Baye nodded, stared at the dragon vein diagram for a while and then said: "Actually, this picture was left by my grandfather back then. It was also passed down to me after I don't know how many lifetimes it passed to me. Our old man has a very special nature. Mediocrity is content with the status quo, so my grandfather handed this dragon vein map directly over him and handed it to me, hoping that I can find and collect the dragon souls in the nine states of dragon veins and fulfill his old man's wish for generations."
"Oh, that's it." I nodded like a mortar for pounding garlic.
"So, this dragon vein diagram is hundreds of years old." As I said that, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the seemingly dilapidated dragon vein diagram.
When Liu Baye first took it out of the bamboo tube, I discovered that the dragon vein diagram was not made of paper. Now that I reached out and touched it, it confirmed my idea.
This dragon vein diagram looks rough, but the touch is delicate and soft, and I can even feel a trace of warmth. If I close my eyes, I will have a wonderful feeling of touching a woman's tender skin.
Women...skin...! I suddenly retracted my hand, feeling agitated all over my body. I stared at Mr. Liu with wide eyes and said in astonishment: "Daddy, is this a human skin map?!"
"Huh? You boy is very discerning. You can tell at a glance that this map is a human skin." Liu Baye looked at me with surprise and relief and continued: "Yes, this is a human skin." Leather map, my grandfather once told me that this map was carved by Liu Bowen himself before his death. As for this leather map, it came from the body of a chosen daughter. Do you see the word in the corner?" I was fascinated by what I heard. After being prompted by Liu Baye, I quickly moved my eyes to the direction he pointed, which was located at the upper left of the dragon vein diagram.
Although I don't have much research on characters, I still know a handful of characters, such as the basic character on the Dragon Vein Diagram.
"base."
"Yes, Ji is Liu Bowen's original name." Looking at the nine-state dragon vein map in front of me, I fell into deep thinking. Seeing my frown, Mr. Liu asked me what I was thinking about.
I raised my head and replied: "Godfather, if we gather all the dragon souls from all nine states, can we really control the world?" The reason why I asked this question is because I think it is not very practical. Nowadays, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, science and technology are developing rapidly, and the country It is getting stronger day by day, and it is no longer an era when it can overturn Chao Gang by itself.
The Dragon Soul of Kyushu is indeed miraculous, but with the changing times, the miraculous effects may not be realized... In my opinion, Liu Baye is a shrewd man and was born in today's modern society, so he should not Being influenced by the outdated ideas of his ancestors, is it possible that he is so obsessed with the dragon soul of Kyushu just to fulfill the dream of his Liu family for generations?
"Control the world? Maybe, but that's not important anymore, is it?" Liu Baye replied with relief in his eyes.
"Yeah." I nodded and looked at Mr. Liu,
"Godfather, so you are going to attend this Hongmen Banquet."
"Go, you must go. Not many people know about the Nine Provinces Dragon Soul. Those two things are most likely true." Liu Baye's answer was very straightforward. It seemed that he had already made a decision. I'm just one more person to establish his belief.
"Daddy, I'll go with you." I replied seriously.
"Of course you have to go, because there is one thing I want to tell you. My uncle has also been invited." As soon as Liu Baye mentioned his cheap uncle, the calm blood in my heart rippled again. , it seems that I have to go this time, and I just want to take a good look at whether the tattoo on the six-fingered arm is strange. If it is, then I will finally use his blood to pay tribute to my mother's spirit in heaven.
…………Tan Shiya’s wedding date is three days later. Because it is thousands of miles away, it is necessary to set off early to catch up, so Liu Baye decided to set off early tomorrow morning.
After leaving the villa, I went directly back to the antique store. As soon as I entered, I saw Chen Qiuyu busy broadcasting a live broadcast. He was talking and laughing. His smile was like a blooming flower in the snowy winter. It was beautiful. .
I didn't mean to disturb her, so I sat on the sofa and watched her quietly for several hours.
After all the goods were sold out, Chen Qiuyu closed the live broadcast. However, the moment the live broadcast was closed, the long-lost smile on Chen Qiuyu's face disappeared without a trace.
She may have noticed my presence a long time ago, and then turned her head to look at me, and said meaningfully: "You are back."
"Well, I'm back."
"Where are you going this time? Is it dangerous? Do you want me to accompany you?" Chen Qiuyu had a worried look on his face, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
I smiled and waved my hand and said to him: "There is no danger. Remember the wedding invitation from before? My godfather was also invited, so he plans to ask me to accompany him to the wedding banquet." Chen Qiu Yu frowned and said, "Don't you have a grudge? Is there really no danger?"
"Don't worry, the godfather has made arrangements. Besides, even if the old guy has that intention, he won't be able to find trouble at his granddaughter's wedding, so don't worry, just stay at home and you'll be fine. Take care of Senior Chen, he is getting older. If you are really free, you can come to the store to help, you can also start a live broadcast." I said a lot of words just to comfort her and let her not worry. I.
But in fact, even I am worried about whether I can come back alive this time, but I can't let Chen Qiuyu see my worry, otherwise she will definitely follow me.
Although Chen Qiuyu's methods are amazing, she is a woman after all, a woman that I love deeply. How can I, Xie Dongzi, let my beloved woman go on adventures with me.
Or I had a bad premonition in my heart. I didn’t go anywhere that day. I stayed with Chen Qiuyu all day long, walking with her, going shopping and watching movies with her, and even... the next morning , I kissed Chen Qiuyu gently on the forehead who had just fallen asleep, and then quietly left the antique store with my backpack on my back.
As agreed, I took a taxi and arrived at the airport. I thought that Mr. Liu would invite many people to accompany him, but except for Mr. Liu, who was messy in the wind, there was no other person.
