After leaving Yigensai, Muto took Ishikawa Suke and Zuoda Ryuji to find a small restaurant nearby that didn't look like much, and simply had a bite of noodles.
Perhaps it was an agreement made before, but when the three of them were halfway through eating, Qizhen Yami and others rushed over.
After Muto saw the three of them, he directly asked: "How did things go?"
Qizhen Yami pulled up a chair and sat next to Muto, and said: "Mr. Muto, I found the notes you asked for...but..."
"Notes?" Upon hearing the word "notes", Zuotian Ryuji couldn't help but be shocked.
Although Zuoda Ryuji is not sure what the mobile phone mentioned by Qizhen Yami is, he is not stupid. According to his understanding of the "Wuzi Rebellion",??????????????? ?Only one person who participated in the Wuzi Rebellion wrote a note.
This person is Liu Batshou from the Thousand Hands Sect.
Zuotian Ryuji did not speak, he was just thinking in his mind, "It is said that Liu Batshou recorded the whole thing back then. He originally planned to record the route into Songtao Mountain. But for some reason, before entering Songtao Mountain, he He suddenly disappeared after Momoyama... Originally everyone thought he died in Songtaoshan. But it is said that he later appeared in the northwest with ten masters from the Senju Sect. Could it be... what Muto said Does that notebook record things related to the ancient city of Xiye? Did Liu Badou suddenly appear in the northwest for the real fountain of youth? Could it be that the notebook Muto is looking for is what Liu Badou left behind? Isn’t that possible?”
Although Zuoda Ryuuji had countless questions in his mind, he didn't show it. He just lowered his head and ate the noodles, as if all the things in the world at this moment were not as important as the bowl of noodles in front of him.
Muto, who was sitting next to him, would naturally not know about Ryuuji Zuoda's psychological activities.
At this time, Muto was a little unhappy because he heard the word "but", which meant that only half of the mission of Qizhen Ami and the others was completed.
Muto slowly put the chopsticks in his hands, looked at the sweet-looking girl in front of him, and after a while he slowly said: "Miss Qi Zhenyami, the two words you just said made me very unhappy. I traveled thousands of miles to bring you from Japan to China, not because I didn’t want to be unable to hear these two words!”
Muto's tone was very calm, but for Qizhen Yami, every word Muto said at this time was like a sharp knife piercing his body.
Qizhen Yami didn't dare to breathe. She waited for Muto to finish speaking before she dared to whisper: "I'm sorry, Mr. Muto, it's us...it's our incompetence in doing things!"
Muto reached out and touched Qizhenyami's hair, and said slowly: "Miss Qizhenyami, there is no need to apologize... All I want to know now is what happened?"
Qizhen Yami said slowly: "Although we found the notebook, but...but it was bought in advance!"
"Has someone bought it in advance?" Wu Teng frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Do you know who did it?"
Qizhenyami said: "It's a middle-aged man named Liu. This is...this is his residence!"
Saying that, Qizhen Ami took out a piece of paper from his pocket and put it in front of Muto.
Muto took the note, opened it and looked at it, only to see a series of addresses scrawled on it.
Muto didn't seem to be very familiar with Chinese characters. He handed it to Ishikawa Suke beside him and said, "Mr. Ishikawa, please take a look!"
Ishikawa Suke took the note handed over by Muto, scanned it briefly and said, "Leave this matter to me!"
Muto said: "Then thank you Mr. Ishikawa for the hard work!"
Ishikawa Suke nodded slightly and said, "Easy to say!"
Before he finished speaking, Ishikawa Suke stood up and left.
Things became normal after that. After Ishikawa was out for two days, he returned to the hotel where several people were staying in the middle of the night on the third day.
Ishikawa Suke didn't say anything, but it was easy to tell from the seven stab wounds on his body that he had experienced a lot in the past two days.
However, the only good thing for them is that Ishikawa Suke really brought the notebook back.
Two days later, Muto took Zuoda Ryuji to Yiyuanzhai, and Master Xu actually got the bronze mirror.
This bronze mirror has a very special shape. It is not round, but hexagonal. One side is polished relatively smooth, and the other side is carved with seven totems that look like dragons but not dragons, and look like snakes but not snakes.
Although Ryuuji Zuoda was not an expert in antiques, he could still tell that this thing had a faint ancient air to it, but this was enough to conclude that it was not a replica.
Zuoda Ryuji took the mirror in his hand and looked at it. He discovered that the dragon-like totems on the back of the mirror were movable. They could create different shapes according to different movement trajectories. It looked like It looks like some kind of combination lock.
Zuoda Ryuuji didn't know much about this, so he didn't take it to heart and just put him into his backpack.
After Muto paid the final payment to Yiyuansai, the few of them didn't delay any more. After finding a train, they headed northwest.
The trains in the 1960s were different from today's high-speed trains. They were not that fast. According to the records in Zuoda Ryuji's diary, six of them walked together?????????????? ??It took us four or five days of non-stop driving before we entered Gansu.
After the six people entered Gansu, they got off the bus in Lanzhou, hired a local man to rent a small van, and headed straight to a place called Ulan County.
The process of going to Ulan County was not mentioned much in Zuotian Ryuji's diary. He just said that the road was not very easy to walk, and he could not remember how many days it took several people. He just remembered that he put his stomach After almost all the contents in the car were vomited, the car stopped in front of a small hotel.
Muto seemed surprised and arranged everything in advance. After a few people rested briefly for a night, the six people set off again the next day.
This time, Muto got a van from nowhere. Although this van was not very new, it looked at least much better than the previous van.
Zuotian Ryuji was the last one to get on the bus. After getting on the bus, he found that there was one more person setting off with them this time.
This man's name is Wu Ershan. According to Wu Teng's introduction, Wu Ershan is a guide and the only person in this world who knows and has been to Xiye Ancient City.
Wu Ershan is very old, estimated to be over seventy years old, but he has a strong body and a lot of luggage. In addition to a large package, he also has a pair of barrels.
Wu Ershan didn't like to talk much, and he didn't have any communication with Zuotian Ryuji and others along the way. It wasn't until he entered Xinjiang that he said, "The road ahead is not going to be easy! I'll come Let’s drive!”
