Dou Sprout looked through the brocade box again, but found nothing.
Zhou Bing changed his previous image of a gentle shop owner. He looked at me and said coldly: "Let's go, you guys, do you still want me to give you away?"
I thought about it for a minute or two. My original plan was to get the white horse copper kettle. Now it seems impossible, but there is another trick.
Show your cards.
I didn't leave, but looked at Zhou Bing and said with a smile: "Your grandpa is pretending to be Alzheimer's, but... aren't you still short of 500,000?"
Zhou Bing was stunned for more than ten seconds, and his face instantly turned pale.
The original plan failed. Seeing that I was showing off my cards, Douyazai threw the brocade box in his hand and said loudly: "Where's your wife! We already know about the Xu incident and your wife's incident!"
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Zhou Bing said with a cold face.
"Still pretending to be stupid?"
I said I mentioned Wang Xiansheng, since the white horse pot is in your hand, you should know our identities, right?
Zhou Bing still didn't speak.
I continued: "I don't care about what's going on between you and your wife. I only have one condition. I hope Wednesday Shun can see me and talk to me as a normal person."
I wrote my phone number on a piece of paper and put it on the table.
"You should think carefully. The time will be set at 10 o'clock tonight at the latest. If it is late, we will not wait."
"Ya Zai, let's go."
After leaving the advertising store, Bean Sprouts hurriedly followed him and said, "I didn't expect Zhou to be so smart. I almost deceived him. Fengzi, what do you think if the old man refuses to cooperate? Should we really go to the police station to report him?"
I said reporting it was nothing, what are we doing?
If Wednesday Shun doesn't come tonight, we'll hide in Alxa. Who knows when Jin Fenghuang will come looking for him.
After returning to the new location, I kept waiting. It was past nine o'clock in the evening and there was still no movement on my phone.
It's around 9.40.
The phone on the table suddenly started vibrating.
The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number, and I answered the call without saying a word.
"Hello."
"Wednesday?"
"I am, haven't you always wanted to talk to me?"
"11:30, small square of Wenhu Community, fitness equipment, you come alone."
The other party hung up the phone immediately after finishing speaking.
I checked the time, and it was less than two hours before 11:30.
Dou Sprout is also going. He said what if Old Man Zhou wants to silence people. After all, we know his grandson’s secret.
I said no, he didn't dare, just wait for my news at the hotel.
We took a taxi to Wenhu Community. There were no street lights in the small square and it was dark.
I opened my phone and looked around with the faint light of the screen.
"Stop looking for it." At this moment, an old man's voice sounded behind me, which startled me.
I looked back.
At this moment, Wednesday Shun didn't even use a cane. He stood upright facing me. Although his head was full of white hair, his eyes were clear. He was completely different from his previous image of Alzheimer's disease in his dying years.
"Sit." He pointed to the lounge chair in the small square.
He and I were sitting side by side on the deck chair. It was dark and quiet around us. If people didn't pay attention carefully, they wouldn't be able to see the two of us sitting in the small square.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?"
I asked directly: "Wang Xiansheng came to see you. I want to know what you told him at that time and why he was so persistent that he would risk his life to enter Blackwater City."
Zhoushun was silent on Wednesday, and I didn’t press him. I waited quietly for his answer.
After a few minutes, he said: "What is written on that piece of parchment is the secret of the Dangxiang clan and the continuation of Xixia civilization."
"The Western Xia Palace Script is different from the ordinary Xixia Script. It was only circulated among the party nobles more than 700 years ago and ordinary people were not allowed to learn it. Xixia is a Buddhist country. The above Western Xia Palace Script deciphered is actually two paragraphs."
"A narration, a scripture." Wednesday Shun said in the dark.
"Scripture? What does it mean?"
He spoke a Sanskrit transliteration, which was very difficult to pronounce.
"Wuzhu, Boliuli, Pohaojia, Akoke, Mousuoluo Jie Lava, Chizhen, Ashmajie, Lava Moro."
I didn't understand and asked what it meant.
Wednesday stopped by: "It's the Seven Treasures of Buddhism."
"Seven treasures? Isn't it the eighth treasure? The umbrella cover of a wheel conch, the fish intestines in a flower pot."
He shook his head and said it wasn't like that. What I was talking about was the seven things hanging on Sakyamuni's body in the ancient scriptures. Li Xian had someone stand in for his death back then. The stand-in who was beheaded by the Mongols and a stand-in named Mi Zhiyin When Li Xian left, he took the wuzhu among the seven treasures with the remnants of his party and ran to the southwest to establish a small political power called Xiwu'er.
"The approximate location of Xiwu'er is in the Muya area, probably in the current Qinghai, Gannan, Ganzi, Qamdo, and Diqing areas in Yunnan. It is hidden in the vast mountains and ridges. It can be blocked naturally by using trees and cliffs. The Mongolian cavalry was chasing after them, and the building like a turret drawn on the parchment was the watchtower built by Xiwuer in the mountains around Muya. They were always on guard against the Mongolian cavalry chasing after them."
"I have devoted my life to archeology. Xixia has taken root in the northwest for more than 300 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Li Xian took away a large amount of treasures and beads after escaping. The beads represent Buddhism. Li Xian may have left the remaining spiritual Faith is placed on Wu Zhu.”
"These are all the secrets on the parchment, what else do you have to ask."
The information contained in these words was too huge for me to digest in a short period of time, so I sat on the bench in a daze.
When I came back to my senses, I asked him again why he had to find Heishui City. Didn't he say that the Xiwu'er Kingdom was in the Muya area?
And Muya is in Sichuan, why doesn't he go directly to Sichuan?
Zhou Shushun shook his head and said that he didn't know this clearly. Wang Xiansheng probably discovered some secret and had to go to Heishui City.
"I've told you everything I can tell you."
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"How can I help you?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Wednesday Shun suddenly stood up from the bench.
He said: "Please keep my grandson's affairs a secret. I will surrender after I have taken care of everything."
I frowned and said, are you doing it for your grandson?
Wednesday stopped by: "I did it, so why should I say it for you? Don't worry, I won't talk about your affairs, but..." He paused for a few seconds and then said: "Young man, you Not twenty yet, right? Have you ever thought about your future destination? "
"Bye now."
After Wednesday Shun finished speaking, he turned and walked into the darkness.
I sat in the small square all night until the sun came up in the morning. Not only was I thinking about my relationship with Xiwu'er, I was also thinking about what I said when I left on Wednesday.
Where will my future destination be?
.......
What happened to Zhou Shunshun was that he really turned himself in, and then the incident was exposed. To this day, some people who used to live in Wenhu Community still know about it. I heard that the property management company also invited monks to perform rituals. Zhou I should know where Bing's wife is without telling her. Is Zhou Bing okay?
No.
On Wednesday, the white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift. There was a cause and effect, and God's retribution was not satisfactory. After everything came to light, Zhou Bing chose to jump off the building. After Zhou Bing's accident, his five-year-old son was adopted. He was raised by relatives of the Zhou family. I don’t know his son’s name. He should be an adult by now.
However, there is one thing I am quite grateful for on Wednesday.
He didn't confess us. He didn't say a word about our secret or the white horse copper kettle, and it rotted in his stomach.
It is precisely because he did this that we were able to spend several more years in the future.
grateful.
