The ancient dragon embankment of Ruoshui Three Thousand

That afternoon, Baicao came to the shop, exchanged a few pleasantries, then took his things and left. Wu Xie pouted, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip unhappy, leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.After what Pokerfing said, he was actually very curious and wanted to ask about the origin of the wood carving and things related to it, but this uncle Bai was obviously different from his third uncle, although the third uncle was very cunning and never said anything to him. To tell the truth, but at any rate soft and hard, a few sentences can get some information out. As for this master, to be honest, except for what his second uncle may say, no one else can deal with it.

When the last rays of the sun disappeared on the horizon, the moon had quietly climbed up the branches.Winter is dark early, Wu Xie sighed, got up and told Wang Meng:

"Close the shop and go home. If you dare to be late tomorrow, I will be very rude."

When Wang Meng heard that the boss meant that the wages would not be deducted, he laughed from ear to ear, bowed and tidied up, and was very busy.Wu Xie sighed amusedly, turned around, picked up the car keys and walked out of the store.

After a few days like this, the days were still as peaceful as ever. It was just dark, and Wu Xie was going home for dinner when his phone rang suddenly. When he took it out, it was obvious that Wu Xie was depressed again, and the phone displayed There are three big characters: Bai Shisan.

When it comes to Bai Shisan, Wu Xie hates it so much.This Bai Shisan is none other than the only son of Bai Cao, the eldest son of the Bai family. Don't be angry with this young master Bai. First, I really can't beat him, and second, I really dare not beat him. The reason is a long story.

Because no matter what the outcome of the fight is, Bai Shisan will always pretend to be weak and pitiful, and complain to Mr. Wu first, no matter how he explains afterwards, he will be scolded in the end, even if he is not to blame.So the young Wu Xie had no choice but to seek self-protection, that is, never to enter the Bai family again.However, during the holidays, the Bai family would sometimes bring Bai Shisan to the house as guests. At that time, Wu Xie just stood far away, secretly calling him a white-eyed wolf.Even when they meet in normal times, Wu Xie walks around intentionally or unintentionally, trying to meet him as little as possible.Can't be provoked, can be hidden - this is Wu Xie's six-character mantra

Just like Wu Xie's grandfather named him "Xie" in the hope that he would not be infected with evil spirits. The name Thirteen sounds very vulgar, but it also has a unique meaning. It is said that a fortune teller calculated according to the fortune chart, saying that the Bai family " From the beginning of Yin, the balance is twelve."It is unknown what this sentence refers to. The descendants of the Bai family probably feared that this number would be extinct until the twelveth generation.Even Bai Sanye named his son Thirteen when he gave birth to him.The so-called theory of fate, if you believe it, you have it, if you don't believe it, you don't.

"White-eyed wolf?...Damn it, the people I want to see can't be seen, and the people I don't want to see appear one after another."This time, with psychological preparation, Wu Xie hesitated for a moment, but still connected the phone:

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Heh, you're still the same, you can be stupid, so I'm calling you to find your father?" The other party challenged.

"...What's the matter?" Young master NND didn't bother to argue with you, but he scolded a thousand "fuck off" in his heart,

"Looking for you to eat."

ah?Did you hear me right?The weasel had no good intentions in wishing the chicken a new year. Wu Xie decided that this was a Hongmen banquet, and was about to refuse, only to hear the other party add

"There are still many people you know, don't regret not coming."

"Someone you know? Who?"

"You'll know when you come. The address is xxxxxx. It's up to you whether you come or not. I'm only responsible for the notification. It's best if you don't come."

Wu Xieqi's veins exploded, MD, what kind of attitude is this? After all these years, this person is still so defiant. Just as he was about to swear, the other party hung up the phone impatiently.Wu Xie was so angry that he could only vent his anger by trembling, "Wild-eyed wolf, curse you, curse you, my lord, I curse you for not rolling your eyes after death..." He silently said a thousand times in his heart before calming down a little, but he didn't know the curse People's words are often fulfilled very quickly.

If you don't let me go, I will go.Why don't you eat when you have something to eat? It's a big deal to pat your butt and leave after eating.Thinking about it, he locked the door of the store, opened the little golden cup, and went straight to the restaurant Bai Shisan had mentioned.

In other words, this is indeed a famous hotel in Hangzhou. Just because of its grandeur, it is not a place where the poor and ordinary people just come here. It is worthy of the name and has a high consumption level.Hey?Really rich, if I don't blackmail him today, my surname is not Wu.Wu Xie parked the car and walked into the gate swaggeringly.After entering the hall, the elegant scene of flowers and birds swallowed up by mountains and rivers in front of him couldn't help but make people speechless. Wu Xie had no time to look more, so he glanced left and right, then turned and went straight to the elegant room on the second floor.The moment Wu Xie pushed open the private room door, Wu Xie was dumbfounded, what, what's going on?How are these people here?

There was a large table in the middle of the elegant room, and a group of people were chatting enthusiastically around the table. Seeing the door open, everyone's eyes turned to the door.Wu Xie stood blankly at the door and looked at the people in the room in a daze.

"Little Third Master, why is it so late, come in, come in." The person who spoke was none other than Pan Zi.Pan Zi is here, so... Wu Xie looked towards Pan Zi, and sure enough, he saw his third uncle sitting at the table upright, drinking tea leisurely, looked up at him, and then nodded with a smile:

"Don't be stupid, let's talk first."

"Oh." Wu Xie agreed, went to sit next to his third uncle, and then raised his eyes to look at the people present. Sure enough, as Bai Shisan said, there were quite a few people he knew, except for the third uncle and Pan Zi, sitting on his left is a black blind man, counting to the left is Bai Shisan, Uncle Bai, and a bald man sitting next to Uncle Bai, this man looks to be in his fifties, with fine wrinkles Horizontal on the forehead, the eyes are small but full of sparkle, often containing layers of smiles, the high bridge of the nose is slightly hooked, and there is a light mustache above the lips. The face is thin but looks very capable, giving people The first impression is that he is very calm and capable.

Sitting next to this person is Uncle Bai's clerk Xiao Yu (I have met him a few times before, and he always follows Uncle Bai in and out). Next to him is also a new face. The man has a crew cut and is wearing a A casual jacket with a zipper. You can't see what you're wearing underneath. You have a serious face, darker skin and flawless skin, and a pair of big, piercing eyes. At first glance, you seem to be only about 30 years old.Looking next to this person, Poker-Face sat there silently with his eyes closed, never opening his eyes from the beginning to the end.Why is the stuffy oil bottle here?Wu Xie blinked in disbelief. Since Poker-Face's back was facing the door, he didn't pay attention when he first entered the door. When he saw him again at this moment, he suddenly felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart. Know why it feels this way.

"Pa" the door of the private room was suddenly knocked open with great force, a fat man poked his head in, glanced left and right, and suddenly grinned:

"Hey hey hey, yo ho? Are you here? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road." Who is this person who is not a fat man?The fat man swaggered in and sat down on the empty seat next to Poker Bottle, with a flattering expression on his face:

"Brother, you came early, ha ha." Seeing that the other party ignored him at all, the fat man didn't mind, then scratched his head, raised his eyes to see Wu Xie, and joked:

"Little naive, it's not interesting. You just hung up on me like that the other day, and you have to treat me to apologize for whatever you say this time."

"I'm sorry, I'm also a loafer, so it's not my turn to treat you this time." Wu Xie gave the fat man a white look, and thought to himself, what occasion is this, why are you bringing this up?

"Hey? Didn't talk about this meal, Fat Lord, I mean the next meal. It's so easy to come to Hangzhou, and you have to take care of food and housing, right?" Damn, you fat man, I know you don't have a good heart .

"It's not a hotel, I can't accommodate people",

"Hey? That's why you're wrong, naive, why didn't you say that when my little brother lived with you? When you come to the fat man, you just try to get out? Why are you partial?"

"Damn, when will I..." Wu Xie was about to defend himself, when he raised his eyes and happened to meet a pair of indifferent eyes, Poker-Face opened his eyes at some point, and looked at him lightly.Wu Xie couldn't help but blushed, and swallowed the following words back to her stomach.The fat man saw that Wu Xie was at a loss for words, and thought that Wu Xie was in the wrong, and was about to embarrass him for a few more words, but was interrupted by Pan Zi:

"Come on, fat man, you're not here for sightseeing, you're not in charge of food and housing." While talking, he slapped the fat man with his hand, and the fat man looked anxious:

"You fucking..." Before he could finish speaking, Wu Sanxing, who was sitting on the side and had been listening impatiently, interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, let's talk about serious business." After Wu Sanxing said this, Wu Xie remembered the purpose of this time, and hurriedly turned his head to Third Uncle and asked:

"Third Uncle, what's the matter?"

"That's right, your uncle Bai's friend accidentally got an ancient wood carving, which is the one that was rubbed in your store a few days ago. After our research, it may be a map of an ancient tomb. From the analysis of the text, it should be Two pieces, only by finding the two pieces together can we determine the exact location. It’s a coincidence that Brother Zhuo, ah, is Brother Zhang’s friend, who happens to have the other half, so I’m calling everyone here today to discuss this trip. After Wu Sanxing finished speaking in one breath, everyone was stunned for a while, Wu Xie observed his words and his mind was clear, it seems that apart from these few parties, the others probably came here with lamas, and he knew as much as he did. There are not many, so to speak, it’s like meeting a pie in the sky. It’s a coincidence that I do free translation for Uncle Bai. This surname Zhuo knew Poker Ping.No one would believe that this series of coincidences were not predestined by God.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie looked at the Zhuo surname in doubt, who is he?Why do you know Poker Bottle?Unfortunately, he saw that Zhuo was also looking at him, but this look made Wu Xie suddenly feel a chill in his heart.

At the same time, a deep and thick male voice sounded at the right time:

"It's the first time we met. My name is Zhuo Linyu. My ancestral home is Hebei. I'm a member of the Northern School of Mojinmen." As soon as the words came out, everyone's eyes turned to the young man sitting next to Poker Ping. Gently stacking both hands on the table, he looked up at the people present calmly, and then spread his hands, revealing another piece of nanmu carving under his hands:

"This was handed down from my ancestors, and I don't know its origin. I only know that when it was handed down to me, my father told me to keep it safe, and told me not to show off in front of others before another piece of the same wood carving appeared. , so others don’t know that I have this thing, I just showed it to Qi Ling alone, and when Qi Ling came to see me that day, I knew it was time for it to appear.” Zhuo Linyu paused, and turned Glancing at Poker Ping next to him, Wu Xie bent the corners of his mouth. Seeing Poker Ping, Wu Xie nodded to him for the first time in agreement, feeling really uncomfortable, Qi Ling?They are so affectionate, is their relationship unusual?Glancing at Poker Bottle mournfully, Wu Xie fell into deep thought. He didn't understand what was wrong with him recently, and he always thought about something. It seems that he really should go to the hospital to check if he has eaten too much chili recently. Fire?Without waiting for Wu Xie to clarify his thoughts, Zhuo Linyu went on to say:

"This is an unusual piece of wood. It is very strange. Although it can be confirmed that it is a rare nanmu, it is not as fragile as wood at all. It is as hard as stone, which shows that its manufacturing process is indeed extraordinary. Since I got it and started to study the above information, but no matter how I looked at it at the time, the content was incomplete, and I couldn’t find a breakthrough point after all. Now that Mr. Bai has found another piece, I’m afraid it’s time to unravel the mystery. Alright." After Zhuo Linyu finished speaking, he glanced at the skinny bald man, waiting for his answer. At this time, the skinny bald man also put another wood carving from his pocket on the table, and said:

"This piece was entrusted to me by a friend of mine before his death. It is said that he poured it out of a Song Dynasty mausoleum. He didn't say what kind of tomb it is. However, from the manufacturing process, it should be a sculpture of the Tang Dynasty... "

"There's a question I've been meaning to ask." Bai Shisan, who had been sitting silently by the side, suddenly interrupted his thin bald head, and asked Third Uncle:

"The significance of carving these two wood carvings is obvious, it is to record certain information and pass it down to achieve a certain purpose, but the strange thing is why use wood? Of course, this kind of wood has been specially treated. In fact It proves that there is nothing wrong with the integrity of the preservation, but the use of stone or jade should be more in line with the carving characteristics at that time?" Wu Xie heard this, and thought that this was his own question, and was about to listen to the third uncle. How to explain, but suddenly heard a shout:

"What do you know? This sculptor must have switched to wood because jade is fragile. You see, with wood, no matter how you drop it, it won't break in half, right?" The fat man couldn't help taking Bai Shisan's words.

"That's not necessarily true. Wood is still flammable. If someone accidentally throws it into the fire, there won't even be a slag left." Pan Zi rolled his eyes at the fat man, and said that he was attacking the fat man.

"Hey, I said Da Pan, why do you love to run on Fat Master so much? Even if he doesn't think so, it's possible that the family is poor and can't afford jade, so the wood is used, right? Naive."

"I'm sorry for you, please, this kind of wood and this kind of craftsmanship are much more expensive than your so-called jade." Wu Xie shrugged helplessly, and rolled his eyes at the fat man.

"Ah? Really, how much is that worth?" Fatty's eyes lit up when he heard the word "expensive", staring straight at the two pieces of wood on the table, wishing he could immediately take them out and ask for a price.Wu Xie chuckled, shook his head, and inadvertently met the smiling face of the black glasses sitting next to him, and was startled:

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Xie was puzzled,

"It's nothing? I just think the little third master's smile is... charming." The ending sound of the word "person" is very long, which made Wu Xie get goosebumps all over his body.Wu Xie turned away and didn't bother to pay attention to him, and at the same time looked at the third uncle on the other side, waiting for the other party to speak with anticipation in his eyes, Wu Sansheng thought for a while and said:

"I don't really understand this, but I think, since we do this, there must be a reason for doing it. It's useless for us to guess here. Since the thing is in our hands, it's no harm to go and see for ourselves."

Everyone at the scene agreed unanimously, and then everyone discussed the specific matters of the action, and then happily raised their glasses to practice. The meal lasted until more than ten o'clock in the evening before the feast was still full.
