National treasure

In the cabin at an altitude of [-] meters, Zhong Zhe called Uncle Gao.

Before Zhong Zhe could speak, Uncle Gao laughed and said on the phone: "Boy, I remembered to ask your sister. Ke Ke just got off the plane and won't arrive until later."

"Uh..." Zhong Zhe rubbed his chin subconsciously, "Uncle Gao, you probably need to prepare an extra room."

Uncle Gao wondered: "Why, is there someone else who wants to live here? It can't be you, shouldn't you be... investigating that matter? Could it be solved so quickly?!"

In view of the confidentiality of Hetu, it is not appropriate to talk about it on the phone, so Uncle Gao only briefly mentioned it.

"Well, I have something to trouble Uncle Gao, let's talk about it in detail after we meet."

Zhong Zhe hung up the phone and unconsciously played with the USB flash drive on the table. In the information about Hetu in that folder, the place called "Tang" that was mentioned repeatedly was definitely in mainland China.

No matter what the other party wants to do, "Tang" is a place that cannot be avoided. He needs to find out where this place is, and maybe he can make another plan to wait for rabbits.

"The expert you mentioned who is proficient in oracle bone inscriptions is Director Gao, right?"

Zhong Zhe was interrupted by Cheng Ling who came, and nodded in affirmation.

Before retiring, Gao Jianye had been the deputy director of the Ministry of Education and the director of the National Cultural Museum. He was not an acquaintance like Zhong Zhe.

"Uncle Gao can be regarded as No. 1 in oracle bone research in the industry. When my father was alive, he often discussed the origins of pre-Qin cultural relics with him. He has profound attainments in the study and interpretation of pre-Qin characters. The meaning of Luoshu is basically spelled out, and those thieves are even more impossible."

"And," Zhong Zhe thought thoughtfully, "I suspect that Richard Yi may divide his troops into two groups for the next operation. On the one hand, they will continue to chase us to obtain the key Luoshu, and on the other hand, they will also step up the Hetu aspects of work.

Assume that the conspiracy they want to carry out will endanger the stability of the country and the lives of the people.From everything we've been through, honestly, that's something I feel more and more certain about now.

If they want to use Hetu Luoshu to achieve this goal, they will probably need a specific place to carry out this activity.When the ancients did such a thing, they would pay great attention to the choice of venues. In ancient times, such venues were not easy to find.In today's environment, if these people want to complete the ceremonies or procedures specified by the ancients, the conditions will only become more stringent and the difficulty will double, and many things required for ceremonies and procedures cannot be prepared too long in advance. "

"So, what you mean is that they are likely to spend a lot of time and energy on finding a suitable venue and preparing for the ceremony. They even need to work overtime to prepare for these with the acquisition of the river map." Cheng Ling accepted Zhong Zhe's speculation.

Zhong Zhe nodded, "That's what it means. The sooner these people prepare the venue and everything they need, the sooner they can do it once Luoshu falls into their hands."

"Then this is indeed an important move." Cheng Ling focused on the key point and continued to ask, "Then about the venue and ceremony preparations you mentioned, are there any specific clues that can be traced?"

"Unfortunately, not for the time being. Based on my interpretation of Luoshu characters, I can only deduce such a general conclusion. The specific venue and ritual procedures, etc., cannot be more detailed and accurate.

In addition to the research on other materials and the understanding of Hetu, I have made an inference that the other party is going to make a big move, but if there is another person who has also studied the Luoshu of Guohetu in depth to support my guess, Obviously the conclusion will be more reliable.

This is the reason why I was more determined to ask Uncle Gao for help after reading the information on the USB flash drive.He can make up for my deficiency in Luoshu interpretation. He and his father have studied Hetu for many years. Only he can help us infer more specific information, verify my inference, and bring us closer to valuable clues. step. "

Halfway around the world, from dusk to dawn.

In the early morning, on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the shadow of oars and lights, the neon lights in the book are gone, only the cool autumn atmosphere and the city fireworks rising from the breakfast stalls remain.Bypassing the Jiangnan Gongyuan, the deeper the alleys with twists and turns, the more inconspicuous old houses are hidden.

Zhong Zhe came to the door of an old house, rang the electric bell, and after a while, an elderly servant walked out to open the door.

Cheng Ling followed Zhong Zhe into Gao's house, an old house in the ancient capital, a world of its own.

The window lattice partitions still retain the traditional design, and the furniture is all in the style of the Ming Dynasty. Only Cheng Ling is an amateur in collecting, and he can't see the way. The rest of the decoration and electrical appliances in the house are modern and minimalist. In addition to the conflict of old things, it also strives to facilitate the owner's life.

Director Gao is indeed an elegant person.

Zhong Zhe had just entered the living room, and before he could finish greeting Uncle Gao, a girl rushed in from the other side of the courtyard, grabbed his hand, and pulled him around.

"Brother, Mr. Zhong didn't say anything clearly, so he told me not to go home, but to come directly to Uncle Gao. I only found out after asking Uncle Gao on the phone. You suddenly fell in love with friends? It's still the kind of one that just fell into it and fainted immediately. The kind of dizzy, reluctant to part?

Uncle Gao said that the two of you have been to the world of two, and knowing that I would be very boring staying in England alone during the holidays, he said that Aunt Chen missed me and asked me to come and play with him.

It’s been a long time since I came to Nanjing last time, and I’m craving duck blood vermicelli soup and beef pot stickers.

Brother, why are you here?Could it be that he got into a fight with that person so soon?

It's not like I said, you have such a picky personality, and your temper is not very good. You finally found one. Did you have an attack in two days and scare people away? "

The girl was chattering and chattering lively, if Zhong Zhe hadn't stretched out his hand to pull her with embarrassment, the little girl would not have reacted for a while.

Someone who is good at hiding his sense of presence seemed to have just appeared in the living room at this time. Zhong could see that a stranger with an expressionless face appeared out of nowhere. The unique sensitivity of a girl jumped out, and he instinctively leaned towards Zhong Zhe. depend on.

Cheng Ling had to lower his sense of presence again, and Zhong Ke was obviously much more sensitive to his breath perception than ordinary people.

Uncle Gao also looked over inquiringly, and Zhong Zhe felt that his scalp was going to be hardened into a stone, so he managed to say, "This is my friend, surnamed Huang."

friend?

Talking about that friend? !

The two people in the room who knew more or less about Zhong Zhe's details all opened their eyes wide in surprise.

A reason with a bad heart and random talk can happen so coincidentally. According to Uncle Gao's eyesight, at this moment, he can naturally guess that this is the state official who is tracking down 003's whereabouts with Zhong Zhe.

The other stared curiously at the two of them. In order not to be impolite, Zhong Ke had no choice but to suppress the rising heart of gossip, and the expression only lingered on the girl's face for a while. for a moment.

Seeing Ke Ke's expression, Zhong Zhe sighed in his heart. The girl who was only thirteen was just the right age, and he thought he knew everything. He was already having a headache about how to deal with his sister's inquiries later.

Uncle Gao greeted Cheng Ling, somewhat exposing the embarrassing scene in front of him.

Zhong Ke obediently leaned against Zhong Zhe, waiting for the exchange of greetings in the living room to be over, so that he could drag someone to satisfy his curiosity.

Uncle Gao’s wife, Aunt Chen, just came out of the kitchen to greet everyone. As for Cheng Ling brought by Zhong Zhe, Aunt Chen, like Zhong Ke, was kept in the dark by Uncle Gao’s words, so after the greeting, she naturally asked: “ How do you two like to live? How many rooms would it be better to prepare for you at night?"
