The years of reselling the haunted house

I was taken aback: "What? My third uncle? Where is my third uncle? Hey...old horse...hey..."

I yelled at the phone for a while, but the old horse over there put down the phone.

Fat Dahai was puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Boss, what's going on? Is there any news from Master Uncle?"

I waved my hand: "Don't ask, hurry up, go to Ma Su..."

Pang Dahai didn't say much, started the car, the car roared, and went to Ma Di's college dormitory.

The car stopped, and Pang Dahai and I ran hard to Ma Di's residence.When I ran to the door, I found that his door was ajar, as if he was waiting for us.

I didn't even knock on the door, just pushed it open and rushed in.

Ma Su was sitting on the sofa drinking tea from a teacup, and was startled by us rushing in, almost spilling the tea in his hand.

Ma Di scolded: "Young man, be careful, Mao Mao is in a daze..."

I waved my hand: "Old Ma, don't talk about anything else, do you know the whereabouts of my third uncle?"

Ma Di shook his head: "I don't know. Is your third uncle really not in Shenzhen?"

"Nonsense. He has been missing for three months. When you called, we were going to call the police. You don't know that my third uncle is missing? Then how do you say it's my third uncle's business?"

"The stinky Taoist priest is missing? This is really an anecdote. Come on, take a look... Is it related to your third uncle?"

As he said that, Ma Di took a piece of paper from the table next to him and handed it to me.

It was a crumpled piece of paper, of unknown purpose, with a strange picture drawn on it.

Chapter 632 Strange Painting

A wavy line is drawn on the screen, and the up and down of the wavy line is very large.Below the wavy line is a figure drawn, locked in a cage.

Although the drawing of that person is simple, it can be seen at a glance that he is wearing a Taoist robe, and there is also a painting of a gossip yin and yang fish on the robe.He still wears a Taoist crown on his head and holds a whisk in his hand.

In addition, in the corner of the cage, there was also a copper coin drawn, and three vertical lines were drawn crookedly on the copper coin.

I turned the paper over and over and looked at it twice, but found nothing else except this painting.

I asked Ma Di: "Old Ma, where did this thing come from?"

Ma Di said, "Someone mailed it to me, and it was in an envelope."

"But... how do you know that it has something to do with my third uncle?"

"Do you need to ask? Among the people I know Ma Di, besides your third uncle, who else is a Taoist priest? Although your third uncle doesn't usually wear Taoist robes, and he doesn't dress up like the Taoist priests in this painting. But I think The person who drew this painting deliberately highlighted his status as a Taoist priest. After my analysis and analysis, it is undoubtedly your third uncle."

I nodded after hearing this: "Yes. Ma, your analysis is right, I am also confused. This should be the case. This Taoist priest is locked in a cage. Does it mean that the third uncle has been arrested?"

Ma Di continued to analyze: "It may not be because he was arrested, but he may also be in trouble. The person who drew this painting must have been in a hurry. He didn't have time to explain the detailed situation, or it may be because he couldn't use words for special reasons. You can only express it with a picture. Use a cage to illustrate the situation of your third uncle. I was not sure, but now I hear you say that your third uncle has been missing for a long time, so I think it is very close Yes. But I have never figured out, what does it mean that there is a copper coin drawn on it?"

"It's Wang Qian. My third uncle and I have been looking for the five pieces of Wudi Wang Qian. Now that I'm analyzing Third Uncle's departure, it must be related to Wang Qian. This is to remind us..."

Pang Dahai looked at it for a long time, and asked: "Then the vertical line on the top represents the gold line on the king's coin..."

I looked at it, shook my head, and said, "I don't think so. With the copper coin on it, I will know that it represents the king's coin after seeing it. There is no need to add another thing."

"Then what does this mean?" the fat man asked.

I looked at the piece of paper and analyzed it: "The person who drew this painting is expressing a meaning to us. Every stroke of his should have something to say. The three vertical lines on this copper coin..."

I used my fingers on the table and learned to draw three lines. Suddenly, I had an idea and slapped the table: "I see."

I startled them both, and I went on to say: "These three lines should be to write a word."

"Three vertical lines, write a character? Is it Chuan?" the fat man said.

I shook my head: "It's Shun. The Shun of Shunzhi. This copper coin means the king's coin of Shunzhi Tongbao."

"Ah, that's the thing, why don't you write all the words? It's like guessing a lantern riddle." The fat man said.

"I think it's either like what the old horse said, this person can't express it in words for special reasons. Or he is afraid of being seen by others and revealing the information. The painting is deliberately so cryptic. Now it seems that the disappearance of the third uncle is a It has something to do with the Shunzhi Tongbao's Wang Qian."

Regarding the Shunzhi Tongbao, it was originally stored in the Gongchai Palace below the Mustard River, but it was taken away by someone.

For this reason, the third uncle was very annoyed by it.

Because that Shunzhi Tongbao should have been readily available, but it was snatched first.This is not only a loss of a king's coin, but also a naked provocation to the third uncle.It is an insult to the third uncle's Taoism and strategy.

Although after my persuasion, the third uncle seemed to return to normal.But I know that this matter is lingering for him in a short time.

So I am boldly guessing now that it is likely that when I left Shenzhen to find the old stall, or even before I left, the third uncle got the relevant news about Shunzhi Tongbao.At that time, he made up his mind to get Shunzhi Tongbao back.

It's just because this trip is very dangerous, and the degree of danger is higher than before, so the third uncle decided not to let me participate, but sent me away.

Looking back now, when my third uncle was urging me to find the old stall, his expression and tone were indeed a bit abnormal.It's just that I didn't expect him to make this decision at the time.

As for Chu Liuyan, it is very likely that the third uncle asked him to be his helper because he was not sure about his trip.

I stated my inference, and both Ma Di and Pang Dahai said that my inference should be the closest to the truth.

So we continued to follow my train of thought. The third uncle and the others followed the clues of Shunzhi Tongbao Wangqian, and they must have encountered great difficulties and predicaments.This difficulty is so great that they cannot use normal communication means to contact us.

So how did the piece of paper in Ma Di's hand get passed on?Who is the author of this painting?Third uncle?Chu Liuyan?Or someone else?

Since we don't have any basis for this question, even if we think about it, it is difficult to come up with the answer that we think is the closest.

I looked at the picture, except for the three vertical lines, there was no text on it.Nor can we use the handwriting to determine who wrote it.

I have never seen Uncle San draw a picture, so I can't tell whether it is from Uncle San himself.

At this moment, I suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, old horse, where did this letter come from?"

Ma Di took an envelope and threw it to me: "This paper was mailed in this envelope. Take a look..."

I saw the envelope, postmarked.The characters on the postmark can still be read, with the words "Henan Xinxiang", it seems that this letter was mailed from Henan.

Could it be that the third uncle and the others went to Henan?

The recipient's address on the envelope was exactly Ma Di's School of Paleontology, Bencheng University, and the recipient was Ma Shuqin.

Yes, the word Ma Su on the envelope is a tree of trees, not the Su that Zhuge Liang beheaded Ma Su with tears.

Although the name was written wrong, the Institute of Paleontology is just such an old horse, so the letter was handed over to him.

This also proved from the side that the words on the envelope were not written by third uncle, and the handwriting did not match.

Ma Di deduced that it was probably the person who sent the letter. He heard his third uncle mention Ma Di's name, but he didn't expect that it would be the word Su, so he wrote it as a tree of trees on his own initiative.

Chapter 633 Is it Mountain or Water?

But unfortunately, there is no detailed mailing address on the bottom line of the envelope.I just scribbled the words Henan Xinxiang, which corresponded to the words on the postmark.

Xinxiang, Henan, this address is a bit too general, and it is not easy to find Uncle San there.

But compared to our previous aimlessness, this scope has narrowed down too much.

Finally, there has been a little progress, which makes us a little excited.

Ma Di and I looked through the envelope here to see if there was anything worth noting.Fat Hai over there turned over the paper, looked at it for a while and suddenly asked: "Didn't you say that every stroke of a painter is not empty, so there are these wavy lines on this painting?" Well, what does this mean?"

After being reminded by Pang Haihai, I finally remembered that there is indeed a crooked line in that painting, which runs across the upper half of the paper.

Ma Su looked at the painting and said, "I think most painters use simple strokes to express. So this line, I think, is either water or mountains."

Indeed, after what Ma Di said, the wavy lines on the top are no longer so abstract.That line can be a rolling mountain range or a turbulent river.

It's just that whether it's mountains or water, the difference is still far away.

Ma Di went on to analyze: "According to my understanding, Xinxiang, Henan Province is located in the Yellow River and Haihe River Basin, with the Taihang River in the north and the Yellow River in the south. Fan Plain. Therefore, Xinxiang has both mountains and water, and it is really difficult to distinguish whether the wavy line on the painting is a mountain or a water."

I nodded, folded the picture and stuffed it into the envelope, and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for us to analyze this letter to this extent. The current situation is obvious, Third Uncle and the others are in trouble .This letter is probably the third uncle’s entrusted person asking us for help, we can’t delay any longer, we have to leave for Henan immediately. Otherwise, I’m afraid they will be in danger.”

Pang Dahai also said: "Yes, isn't the place in Xinxiang, Henan already confirmed? Let's go there first, and then make plans for the next step. There must be a way before the car reaches the mountain, and maybe there will be new clues there. Maybe."

Ma Di went on to say: "I'm not very busy at school during this time, and I'll follow you there too. Whether it's going into the mountains or wading in the water, some of my experience may be useful."

I was worried about Ma Di's health, because after I left, I would definitely not be as comfortable as at home.As Ma Di got older, he was no longer allowed to do some field exploration tasks in school.But Ma Di's attitude this time was very firm. He said that without his third uncle bickering and quarreling with him, his life seemed to be missing something.

So this time, he must go there in person.

I know that he and the third uncle have been arguing since they first met.But they also gradually deepened their relationship in the quarrel of every adventure.

This time the third uncle disappeared, and Ma Di seemed very anxious.This palpable anxiety is not superficial, it comes from the heart.

So I didn't stop Ma Su too much, so I promised the three of us to go to Xinxiang together.

Originally, I planned to leave the next day, but Ma Di asked me to wait another day.

I asked him what was not ready?

Ma Su smiled and said, "I think it's not enough for us to go this time, just the three of us. We still need a most powerful helper."

I was taken aback: "Third Uncle isn't here, neither is Chu Liuyan, who else can help? Liang Yue? No, we can't let her go, it's too dangerous."

Ma Di shook his head: "Where did you go? The helper I'm talking about isn't that girl Liang Yue."

"Then who else is there? Old Ma, don't be a fool at this time. If you want to say it, say it quickly..."

I waved my hand impatiently.

The old horse smiled: "You forgot your partner? You are so good, throw it to me, and you will hide away. Are you going to take it back?"

"How can I have... a partner... Tie Zhu?"

After what Lao Ma said, I suddenly figured out who the helper he was referring to was.

Tie Zhu, that stray dog ​​I picked up.

Ma Su nodded with a smile.

When I mentioned Tie Zhu, I was still excited.Speaking of which, I have been separated from this dog for a longer time.

I took it in back then, just pity him, plus it helped me.Because it's unattractive, it looks a bit ugly.I don't think anyone who wants to keep a pet will choose it.So it's almost like I picked it up.

Who knew that after seeing it, Ma Di called it a spirit dog, the folk incarnation of an ancient mythical beast called Xuanyuan dog.It is also one of the nine sons of the dragon, the prototype of Xiaofeng.

Ma Di said that this kind of Xuanyuan dog has a pair of eyes that can distinguish loyalty from evil, good from evil, and is good at distinguishing between ghosts, immortals and demons.It can also play a role in warding off evil spirits and exorcising ghosts.

But to be honest, apart from a few occasions when Tie Zhu let me see its loyalty and bravery, most of the time it played the role of troublemaker.Apart from lying lazily on all fours, there is not enough good food to see.Especially when Fatty and I took it to the Art Academy last time, it showed its true color as a perverted dog.When you see a beautiful girl, go forward and stick to it.At the critical moment, those girls actually liked it quite a bit, which made me and the fat man feel ashamed.

As for Tie Zhu's eyes, where are the eyes?He also said that he can distinguish between good and evil, good and evil, and good at distinguishing between ghosts, immortals and demons. In my opinion, it clearly has a pair of color eyes.

Ma Di said that the dog's spiritual sense had not been fully developed, and it was a bit of a waste in my hands.So I asked Ma Su if he could help me train the dog.

Ma Di said that the Institute of Paleontology has an experimental base in the suburbs.There are some relatively rare animals and plants in it, and Tie Zhu, as a Xuanyuan dog, is also qualified to enter.

I am also happy with this, not only does Tie Zhu have a place to live, but also develops his physical potential, and I don't have to run around with it, which is a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone.

Who knows this difference, it will be almost a year.In the middle, I have not seen it except for watching a video of its training at Ma Su.Because Ma Di said that the training is not over, I can't see it.Otherwise, the training effect will be affected.

I didn't expect Ma Di to take the initiative to mention Tie Zhu today, which surprised me.

"Old Ma, why did Tie Zhu graduate?" I asked.

Ma Di shook his head and said, "It's not considered a complete graduation, and I haven't got my graduation certificate yet."

"Then how did you remember to ask me to bring the iron pillar this time?" I questioned.

Chapter 634 Experimental Base

"The main reason is that Tie Zhu has been training for a while, and it's time to take it out for a walk. It's not good to always train in a simulated environment, and it has to be combined with reality. I want to take Tie Zhu there this time, based on two considerations. On the one hand It can be regarded as his mid-term test, and it is fine to report on the performance. You, the master, must see the results of the training. On the other hand, I also think that this time, either going into the mountains or wading in the water, the environment is complex and changeable, maybe we will Encountered unprecedented difficulties. With the iron pillars, it may be of great help to us."

"That's great. When are we going to pick it up?" I was delighted to hear that.Although the dog Tie Zhu is greedy, lazy and lustful, he is loyal to protect his master.This is enough to make up for other shortcomings.So I like it very much, and it's okay after being separated for a long time. Now that I mention it, I can't wait to see it right away.

"Tie Zhu is still at the training base. How about this, I'll get in touch with him in a while. Come pick me up tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the base to pick up the dog together." Ma Di thought for a while and said.

I nodded yes.First, I went back to the hotel with Pang Dahai.

We also need to pack our bags and go again, which has become a regular occurrence for us.

Originally, when we went to Henan this time, the road was not close, so we planned to go there by train or plane.But Ma Di mentioned that he would take Tie Zhu there.Although Tie Zhu's formalities are complete, it's still a little inconvenient to go out with a dog.So we decided to drive anyway.Fatty and I take turns driving, and it won't delay too much time.

In this way, we can carry as much as possible.

When packing up, Pang Dahai reminded me: "Boss, don't you want to take the dog with you this time? You bring some of the uncle's personal belongings with you, and I will also go back to Wushan Hall to take two of my master's things. Time to let Tie Zhu smell it, will he be able to lead us to find them?"

I slapped my head: "That's right. This is a good way. After Tie Zhu has been trained, this basic ability will definitely be fine."

The fat man went back to Wushan Hall to look for Chu Liuyan's things, while I opened Third Uncle's room.

The third uncle's room is a mess, and he has a quirk, usually no one is allowed to clean his room.So it was as if his room had been ransacked.
