When I thought of this, I rushed out of the cabin where I lived and happened to run into a crew member responsible for the cargo ship's miscellaneous work.

This is a young man who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his dark face is full of questions.

I grabbed the young crew member by the shoulder and asked, "Little brother, do you know who gave me the clothes?"

The young crew member frowned in confusion, then shook his head and said, "I...I don't know! What's wrong? Is the clothes not fit?"

I heard the young crew member's answer, shook his head with a little disappointment and said, "It's nothing... I just want to know who brought it to me."

The young crew member looked at me and said, "Then I guess you will ask the beautiful woman next to Xu Xian. She arranged your affairs and there was a dedicated person to take charge of them. I am just a handyman in charge of cleaning. It is impossible for me to know who sent it to you."

I nodded and said, "Okay! Thank you!"

After saying that, I sighed, then turned around and walked back to the largest topside cabin.

When I went back, Xiong Ming had already changed his clothes and sat next to Hua Muling. When he saw me coming in, the boy curled his lips and said, "I said Hu Tian, ​​why are you so slow? Did you even go to make up for something?"

After Xiong Ming said that, he laughed "hahaha", but none of the people around him were laughing.

Not only did they not laugh, but they didn't even raise their eyes when I walked into the cabin.

Because, at this time, they all focused on the figure who was taller in the cabin.

The human figurines, as a whole, present a dark brown, jade-like but not jade-like material.

It is about 1.75 meters high, and looks like a one-to-one avatar of a deceased person.

This figure of human figurine is a strange shape, wearing an official hat and jade armor. Whether it is a hat or a dress, it is very well made. Even those who don’t know how to do it can tell at a glance that it is made by a master.

But in contrast, the entire workmanship of this figure is extremely rough. Not only does it have facial features on its face, but even its hands and feet are very simple. If you don't distinguish them carefully, you can't see it at all.

"Where did this thing come from?" I asked in surprise as I looked at the figure of man.

Mr. Xu said slowly: "The Iron Head Dragon King sent it to us."

I asked in surprise: "Is this...is this the thing tied to the other end of the chain under the Iron-Headed Dragon King?"

Mr. Xu looked up at me, then smiled slightly, and said, "That's right!"

I asked in surprise: "But you have lost your mind to capture the Iron-Headed Dragon King and tried your best to get this figure out from the water. What is the purpose of?"

Mr. Xu said: "Of course it is to find clues to the ancient city of Sailye."

Before I could speak, Li Qiang, who had not spoken around, suddenly asked, "So since that's the case, where is the clue?"

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "Isn't it right in front of you?"

Mr. Xu said as he pointed to the figure on the ground.

When I looked at the figure again, I unexpectedly found that every inch of the skin on the figure was engraved with patterns like tortoise shells.

I looked at the densely complex patterns, frowned and asked, "What are these complex patterns?"

As soon as I finished speaking, the old man in red next to me suddenly spoke, "That is the tortoise shell pattern that was popular during the Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties."

I frowned and asked in surprise: "Tortoise shell pattern?"

The old man in red said, "That's right!"

After saying that, the old man in red turned his head to me, and looked at me with his eyes as lightning as lightning and asked, "Young man, do you know that someone is called Li Chunfeng?"

I was stunned and then said, "Is the old man talking about Li Chunfeng, the Taoist priest from the early Tang Dynasty?"

The old man in red nodded and said, "It's him."

The old man in red said this and took out a cigarette, lit it, then took a big mouthful, and then slowly continued: "It is said that in the early Tang Dynasty, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were proficient in the yin and yang and eight trigrams of strange arts and numbers, with profound Taoism, and had the ability to see the future. One day, Li Chunfeng watched strange images at night, combined with the words of the Tang Dynasty in the Wuzhou Dynasty, so he started to predict and calculate. Li Chunfeng used the numerology of Yi trigrams to deduce it. He became addicted to the calculating and was out of control, and he even calculated the history of two thousand years after the Tang Dynasty."

I frowned and said, "Old sir, aren't you talking about the origin of Li Chunfeng's "Tuibei Tu"? Why did you say this well?"

The old man in red smiled rare and said, "Young man, do you know why Li Chunfeng suddenly became very interested and began to calculate the fate of the Tang Dynasty? Or, I can ask this, did it arouse the interest of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang?"

I frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said with a sudden enlightenment: "What do you mean is that what Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang saw at that time was the tortoise shell pattern?"

The old man in red nodded slightly and said, "That's right! People just think that Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang are star signs at night, and used the principles of hexagram to deduce them, so they wrote the extraordinary book "Tuibei Tu". In fact, what people don't know is that what inspired them was not actually astrological signs, but this extremely complex tortoise shell pattern."

I exclaimed, "So that's it. In other words, the tortoise shell pattern engraved on this figurine is the clue of the ancient city of Shattered Leaf?"

Mr. Xu nodded, then shook his head and said, "Yes! But not all right! Because it is not just a clue about Thunder Ye City, but to be more precise, the route to Thunder Ye Ancient City is engraved on it."

I exclaimed, "What? Is there a specific route to the ancient city of Sailye?"

Mr. Xu nodded and said, "That's right!"

Hua Muling, who had not spoken before, suddenly asked, "But, such a complex tortoise shell pattern is like adding many layers of passwords. How do we crack it?"

Mr. Xu did not speak, but turned his gaze to the blind man Guo Yichi who had been grinning.

Although Guo Yichi was blind, his other senses were extremely sensitive. Seeing Mr. Xu looking at him, he started to laugh "giggle".

After laughing for a while, Guo Yichi said slowly: "I think this is why Old Monster Xu is looking for the old man, right?"

After Guo Yichi finished speaking, he tilted his head and smiled at Mr. Xu, saying, "Is it, Old Monster Xu?"

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "That's right! In this world, if there was a person who could break the secret on the tortoise shell pattern, I really couldn't think of a second person except you, a blind man."

Guo Yichi giggled and said, "Old Monster Xu, I think you are praising me."

After saying that, Guo Yichi slowly stood up, and used the bamboo pole in his hand to explore the road little by little, and said while walking, "I'll borrow a word from you, Lao Jiao! I'm going to work, old man."

There was not even a single person in front of Guo Yichi, and I don’t know who he said this to.

After a while, he walked to the figurine.

Guo Yichi squatted down slowly, gently touched the patterns on the figurines with his fingers, and said softly: "This tortoise shell pattern can be traced back to the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The first time people discovered this thing was also on the mural of an Eastern Han tomb in Guyuan, Ningxia."

Li Qiang added on the side: "I know this. If I remember correctly, the tomb of the Eastern Han Dynasty that Mr. Guo mentioned should be Tomb 1 and Tomb 2 of Gogurye Dehuali. According to the description of archaeologists returning at that time, the sky on the murals of the entire tomb chamber was full of this tortoise shell pattern. At first, they didn't understand why. Later, Professor Lin Shengzhi of Northwest University compared the tortoise shell pattern in the tomb in the mid-Tang Dynasty and concluded that this thing is actually a manifestation of the heavenly realm, and its main purpose is to regulate the space of the heavenly realm and manifest the patterns of the heavenly realm. To put it more simply, it is to guide the dead and use the language they can understand to guide them to ascend to become immortals."

After listening to Li Qiang quietly, Guo Yichi smiled and said, "Mr., I really have extensive knowledge."

Li Qiang said: "Old sir, you've been too rewarded."

Guo Yichi smiled and said, "Since the young man knows the tortoise shell pattern so well, should I come to calculate it with me?"

Although Guo Yichi was blind, he was a little timid in his momentum. His words were obviously awkward to Li Qiang's car.

After hearing what Guo Yichi said, Li Qiang did not blush and said with his neck raised, "You are polite. I am just aware of archaeology. I am not good at feng shui and metaphysics. So, you should do it!"

Li Qiang's words are not long, but his meaning is very clear.

Guo Yichi was not angry, but smiled slightly, and after a while he slowly said, "I'm not polite."

After Guo Yichi said this, he turned to look at Mr. Xu and said, "I said Old Monster Xu, I suddenly have something I want to ask..."

Mr. Xu was not surprised by Guo Yichi's sudden question. He seemed to have been waiting for Guo Yichi's words for a long time.

After hearing Guo Yichi speak, Mr. Xu said slowly: "Guo Yichi, if you have something to do, just tell me."

Guo Yichi smiled and said, "Since you said that, I'm not polite. Tell me, at our age, should we learn the principle of not showing off the rabbit or showing off the eagle?"

Mr. Xu also smiled and said, "Guo Yichi, what do you mean?"

Guo Yichi smiled and said, "Isn't my meaning obvious?"

Mr. Xu said: "Now the rabbit has seen it. Are you asking me to give you a reason to cast an eagle?"

Guo Yichi nodded and said, "Smart people are smart people!"

After hearing this, Mr. Xu slowly stood up, put his mouth to Guo Yichi's ear, and whispered a few words.

Their voices were very small, and I couldn't hear them clearly, but I just vaguely heard the word "flower".

But for some reason, Guo Yichi was stunned after hearing Mr. Xu's words. He opened his mouth wide for a long time and didn't say anything. He just couldn't help but tilt his head towards Hua Muling.
