ghost man, please let me go

what happened?The old beggar is gone?There was a sudden thump in my heart.

It was the first time I saw Su Ye's nervous expression: "When did you see me?"

"Last night, he said he was going out for a walk or something, and he hasn't come back until now. I just said that he was weird when he left, and about the fate of my master and apprentice..." Su Ye touched his forehead , his expression looked a little annoyed, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden: "Why didn't I notice it at that time?"

Hearing the meaning of these words, I felt a little relieved. At least the old beggar didn't encounter any danger, but chose to leave by himself?

Rong Chen stepped forward to help Su Ye up, the relationship between Su Ye and the old beggar is like father and son, they have experienced too much together, I also stepped forward to comfort: "Don't worry, people can't disappear for no reason, maybe he has If something is not completed, maybe one day the old beggar will come back."

"Yeah, according to his usual pissing behavior, maybe it's just a job."

"That's what I said... But I always feel that this time it seems like he is saying goodbye forever. I have never seen my master with that expression." Su Ye frowned, as if he had made up his mind: " No matter what, I will find him."

Among the few of us, only Jiang Yichen didn't speak. I even felt a little strange. From his eyes, it seemed that he was not surprised by this matter. How can he say that he still wants revenge!

I thought to myself, without saying much, at noon, without the old beggar, there seemed to be something missing.

"How do you go now?" Jiang Yichen asked me after he brought some food, "Of course I want to help the lady with the pattern on her back, how about you two?"

Su Ye looked at me with some nostalgia, but his brows frowned: "I want to find my master."

"I..." Rong Chen seemed to be a little hesitant. In some respects, he seemed to have a better relationship with Su Ye. Jiang Yichen waved his hands and suddenly talked helplessly. In fact, he already knew the result: " That's obvious, I'll go with my wife, you can solve it yourself."

I turned around and looked at him with some displeasure. Jiang Yichen is this kind of person. If it's not his business, he will always have an attitude that has nothing to do with him. This will make people feel a little cold and cold-blooded.

"Maybe... we can do it together." I suddenly said, "What if the old beggar also finds clues to the pattern on my back?"

I remember he told me before that he would definitely check the things on my back. As soon as I finished speaking, Su Ye showed a happy smile on his face: "Yes, the master did indeed mention it to me. He’s been there, maybe he’s just looking for clues alone!”

Jiang Yichen frowned, a little upset: "I think that old man must have gone to fulfill his grievances. Maybe he has something to hide from us."

When he still wanted to say something, I interrupted him unhappily, and said very bluntly: "But no matter what, if the old beggar gets the news on my back, he will definitely contact us , so together with this line, we are slowly looking for other clues, and he is safe by himself."

The old beggar is very capable, so now at least the four of us are together again.

To be honest, I also have a little selfishness in what I said. I was a little worried that when I was alone with Jiang Yichen, I didn’t know why. Now I don’t understand him more and more. I always feel that the secret behind it will make me tremble with fear!

"Then if you say that, we're going the same way. Now that you have that clue on your back, maybe you can ask an archeology professor I know." Rong Chen proposed an idea.

"Professor Chen is already a Ph.D. in archaeology. Although he is over seventy years old, he is curious about everything, especially patterns and patterns. Why don't you ask him first?"

I have seen the name of the professor he mentioned on the Science and Education Channel before, and I often go to Baijia Forum to do research and the like, but the location is indeed in Beijing, and there is no other good place to go now. The four of us stayed overnight I bought the plane for the night and arrived in Beijing in the early morning.

In Beijing at night, landing always has a unique flavor. Although it is fashionable, there is always a rustic feeling in those alleys, which makes people linger and forget to return. The fog at night is also very heavy. I took the mask and put it on, fascinated It felt like being dragged into the car by someone and bumped all the way to the hotel.

I lay down and rested without washing up, and went to the professor's house early the next morning.

At first, I thought it was a high-end place, but when I got there, I found that it was just an ordinary courtyard house, but it was tidied up in a simple and scattered manner, with an antique flavor, and you could smell a faint fragrance when you entered it.

I was even a little surprised by a grandma wearing a cheongsam who came out of the inner room. I can see from her orderly figure that she must have been an extremely beautiful woman when she was young. Now the years are on her face. Although there are many traces left on her face, she looks more calm and elegant. Her walking posture and the expression she holds things all remind me of a picture scroll.

"This is Professor Chen's wife and teacher, Mr. He."

I stepped forward and shouted honestly, Teacher He just smiled faintly when he saw me: "I'm here so early, I'll make tea first, and Lao Chen will come out later, he always has a book every morning half an hour is not too much, right?"

Of course, we can understand that it is not easy to maintain the good habit of reading for decades. I sat in the courtyard for a while, and the smell of tea made by Teacher He got into my breath. She is also an extremely happy woman who lives a life of leisure and elegance with her husband.

When Mr. He brought us the tea, Professor Chen happened to come out from inside. He was wearing a pair of elegant bachelor's glasses, and he was tall and straight when he walked. , talking about something else."

I took a sip of this refreshing tea, but I was secretly surprised, it was really fragrant, and I felt an indescribable sense of comfort in my stomach. Rong Chen is the one who is most familiar with this old couple here, and he repeatedly praised: "Teacher He's skill in making tea is getting better and better. Is this winter's snow tea?"

"It's still you who are smart. I only reserve it for those who care." Teacher He smiled gracefully.

After drinking tea, everyone briefly introduced themselves, and then went directly to Professor Chen's study. Teacher He usually didn't come in, and she went to the morning market.

Professor Chen stared at the pattern on my back. I had already taken pictures before I came here. He pushed his glasses and looked at them for a long time. We didn’t dare to disturb him. After more than ten minutes, he put down his glasses and pinched his eye sockets. : "It's really strange, it's really strange."

"Professor, do you see something coming?"

"Come here." Professor Chen pointed at me, and I hurried over, and he looked me up and down again. To be honest, this feeling is not very comfortable, like being regarded as a fossil .

He stared at the photo and then looked at me: "Do you know that this kind of pattern is only found in ancient times?"

ah?Ancient times?I couldn't help but think about it, it's too far away from us.Professor Chen dug out an ancient book, and I saw that it was a very thick Shan Hai Jing, which was different from the Shan Hai Jing seen on the market. There are many annotations, and it must have been an ancient book that has been flipped over and over by Professor Chen.

"Look, this is the map of the world of Shan Hai Jing. Does this piece resemble the pattern on your back?" Professor Chen stared at me and pointed to the map on the book.

The map of The Classic of Mountains and Seas looks very complicated, but if you look closely, it will clearly mark each piece. Mountains and seas are the world of rare and exotic animals. Many ancient Chinese myths come from this. I stare at it. Looking at the map above, there is a strange place in the pattern on my back. Although it can't be said to be exactly the same, it does have some similarities.

I looked at it for a long time, and now this place is actually in the land of Sichuan and Shu, but I also said: "There is no such place now, it may be true to say that all of them are the same, but I only have one part, and the other What does it represent?"

"Forgive me for my shallow talent. That's about all I can tell you. Why don't you go to this place to have a look, maybe there is some special fate?"

In fact, we just came back from the Miao Village, and it's not far away...

"Then is it possible that other parts of knowledge have been dispersed? Maybe in other ancient books?" Rong Chen asked unwillingly, because the concept of Shan Hai Jing was simply too big.

It also made me feel a little terrified. It is impossible that the gap girl is a ghost left over from that era, right?What does she want to leave on me?

I don't know why, but when I think of this question, I actually shudder. This feeling is not good.

Professor Chen shook his head: "If you still want to know more, you can only wait for you to find out by yourself. I can't provide much help here, but I will study it in time. Keep the photos. If once If there is any new news, I will tell you as soon as possible, and, girl, you must pay attention to safety. Not only the people around you, but it is not a good thing for your body to have this pattern."

I nodded dumbly, and I don't remember how I got out of Professor Chen's courtyard.

When sitting in the car, among the few of us, only Jiang Yichen seemed to have some disdain for that professor...
