Origin

Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled by the ewe's abnormal behavior, but after thinking about it carefully, this change really started to happen last night. Could it be that Zhao Ying guessed it right?

Make further observations, no, that's not the case, Apo is a veteran in the field of love, the ewe can't stand it at all, even if it is very close to it, it is not willing to let it get close.

Just wondering, Zhao Ying came and brought some eggs to Wu Zhongyuan, "How is it?"

Wu Zhongyuan took the egg casually, "It's a bit strange, you can see for yourself."

Zhao Ying leaned on the fence to observe. She also found that the attitude of the little ewe towards Abo had changed, but she couldn't figure out the reason for this change. She said last night that Abo's kidney deficiency was just a joke, and she didn't really think so.

"Did it bring anything back last night?" Zhao Ying asked.

"Probably not." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. Abo is a sheep, unlike people who wear clothes and have pockets. It can only carry things with its mouth, but when he found Abo last night, Abo didn't have anything in his mouth.

"There should be," Zhao Ying said seriously, "Look carefully, that ewe has been licking Apo's beard, it must have brought something back last night."

It was only after Zhao Ying reminded that Wu Zhongyuan noticed this detail. Before that, he only thought that the ewe was kissing Abo, but when he looked closely, he was indeed licking its beard.

When he found Abo last night, Abo just shook his tail at him and didn't make a sound. This shows that Abo probably has something in his mouth. No matter what it is, it won't be very big, otherwise Apo couldn't help it either.

In addition, the reason why the ewe licked Apo's beard was probably because the thing in Apo's mouth melted and dripped on the beard, or it might be that when Apo took the thing, some stuck to the beard.

Confused, he went back and carried a bucket of corn gruel, and fed it to Abo in the sheepfold. When Abo came to eat, he cut off a few of his beards.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan actually put the goatee into her mouth, Zhao Ying had a disgusted and disgusted expression, "Is it dirty?"

Wu Zhongyuan spat out his goatee, spit two mouthfuls of saliva, turned around and walked out.

"What did you taste?" Zhao Ying frowned.

"Shame." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhao Ying couldn't stop laughing, and turned to leave, "I'll get you some water to rinse your mouth."

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ying. In fact, he didn't tell the truth to Zhao Ying, and it could be said that he only told half the truth. The goat beard was indeed ashamed, but besides the embarrassment, there was also an obvious salty taste. It means that what Apo brought back last night is probably salt, and it is a relatively special large crystal. If it is in powder form, the salt will melt before it runs back.

Although sheep are herbivorous animals, they also need to add salt. Salt is the magic weapon for Apo to pick up girls. The reason why he was able to abduct the ewes before is precisely because it brought back salt to the ewes. The ewes tasted the sweetness , will leave the flock to feed with it.

It is enough to know that Apo was looking for salt last night. Salt is the reference. On the west side of the northernmost mountain, the place with salt is the place where the clues are hidden.

After struggling for more than ten days, Wu Zhongyuan finally got a clue, and Wu Zhongyuan was relieved. Sometimes the truth is not complicated, it just floats on the surface, but he thinks it is complicated.

Not long after, Zhao Ying came back and handed the water cup to Wu Zhongyuan, "Rinse your mouth quickly."

Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Ying. What Zhao Ying handed over was her own water glass.

After a brief hesitation, Wu Zhongyuan took the water cup and rinsed his mouth, then returned the water cup to Zhao Ying, and sat outside the sheepfold to peel eggs and eat them.

Eating and thinking can be carried out at the same time. At this time, he felt more or less guilty. Zhao Ying was of great help to him. If Zhao Ying hadn't fired repeatedly on the night of the incident, he might have been killed by that middle-aged man. The Taoist was killed.

Concealment is actually tantamount to deception. He clearly had a clue at this time, but he didn't tell Zhao Ying. Although he had his own difficulties, he was still a bit dishonest.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan choking a little, Zhao Ying handed over the water glass again.

Wu Zhongyuan was already a little guilty, and Zhao Ying's move made him even more embarrassed, but the clue left by Yao Ziqin was too important, if it was leaked and someone caught him first, he would not be able to go back, he couldn't say it, he really couldn't say it.

But this can’t be said, but other things can be said. Wu Zhongyuan took a few sips from the water cup, then opened his backpack, and took out all the gold wares inside, except for the gold wares, and the three small bottles. He came out, "You spent a lot of money for me, and the gold is given to you. These bottles are filled with pills, which should be ancient things. I will give it to you too. You can take it back and pay for it."

"What's the difference?" Zhao Ying inspected the gold wares one by one. Most of the gold wares were jewelry, and there were also a few living utensils.

"The crystal coffin and the corpse of the wizard were removed by them, and the body and armor of the Taoist priest were also removed by them. You spent so much effort, but you didn't get anything in the end. Does the leader criticize you?" Wu Zhongyuan said .

It is an excellent character to empathize with other people's difficulties. Zhao Ying did not answer, but looked Wu Zhongyuan up and down.

Wu Zhongyuan was arranging the change of clothes in his bag, and he didn't notice that Zhao Ying was looking at him, "Let's agree in advance that I may still need that staff in the future. If I need it, you have to get it back for me."

Zhao Ying smiled, "Okay."

Wu Zhongyuan pulled on his backpack and smashed the last egg.

"Are there many men like you in China now?" Zhao Ying asked.

"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan didn't react, and tilted his head to look at her.

"Do you know how the West evaluates you?" Zhao Ying asked again.

"Do you know how we evaluate them?" Wu Zhongyuan asked back.

Hearing what Wu Zhongyuan said, Zhao Ying knew that her question offended him again, "I didn't mean to slander you, but in Western propaganda, the Chinese are the informer Yuan Shikai and the evil Fu Manchu."

"That's because they are maliciously vilifying us. What qualifications do aggressors have to judge others? Do they know what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are?" Wu Zhongyuan raised his voice.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was angry, Zhao Ying hurriedly changed the subject, "Since you took out these things, I will send them back, and the results of the analysis and testing will be told to you as soon as possible."

"Okay, these things should be funerary objects of ancient tombs, belonging to different ages," Wu Zhongyuan picked up two gold vessels, "This small golden bowl is from the Yuan Dynasty, and this hairpin should be from the middle Qing Dynasty."

"Where did he get these things?" Zhao Ying was puzzled.

"It should be dug out from an ancient tomb," Wu Zhongyuan said, pointing to the medicine bottles. "People in ancient times had the habit of taking pills. That middle-aged Taoist is probably looking for the pills left by ancient times."

Zhao Ying nodded. She had shot the middle-aged Taoist before, but the middle-aged Taoist survived the shot, and there was no blood flowing from the wound. There was no reasonable explanation for this strange situation. At present, the truth is very likely It's hidden in these small porcelain vases.

"How long are you going to stay here?" Zhao Ying asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I can't tell, what's wrong?"

"I want to send these things back and add some necessary field equipment." Zhao Ying pointed to those medicine bottles and gold utensils.

"Okay, let's go." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"At most three days, I will definitely come back." Zhao Ying packed her things.

"Okay." Wu Zhongyuan responded.

"Aren't you going to keep some of the pills in these bottles?" Zhao Ying asked, and after speaking, seeing Wu Zhongyuan's puzzled face, she explained with a smile, "If it's the elixir of immortality, don't you regret it?"

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "No, no, take it all away, it's really an elixir of immortality, will it still be buried in the grave?"

Zhao Ying laughed, packed her things, put on her backpack and left the village.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't go to see her off, so he didn't know where she was going or how she went.

Intimidation and inducement are derogatory terms, but they are the two driving forces that move things forward.

Coercion is to do it passively, and this is the case when you are forced to make a living. You have to work hard to make a living.

The temptation is to take the initiative to do it. The essence of hard work is actually being lured by a better life, and willing to do it in order to create and have a better life.

Threats and lures are embodied in Apo and the ewe. Abo lured the ewe with salt. In order to get more salt, the ewe is willing to follow Abo.

But the little ewes are timid and dare not leave the sheepfold at night. The next day it was dark, and they followed Apo to the west just now.

Wu Zhongyuan knew where they were going, so he didn't follow them. Instead, he squatted and waited for them to go to the west side of the mountain and hide, waiting for them to pass.

After waiting for half an hour, Apo came with the lamb.

There is a relatively steep mountain wall in the west, about four or five meters high, and there is a small crack in the upper part of the mountain wall.

Because the rock wall was very steep, the ewe couldn't climb it and could only wait below. Apo climbed up the mountain wall and squeezed his head into the crack with difficulty.

At this time, Apo's own advantages are reflected. The horns of the Boer goat are different from those of ordinary goats. Its horns grow backwards, while ordinary goats grow upwards and left. The head can be squeezed in, but other goats cannot be squeezed in.

Soon, Apo took out a salt block from the crack and jumped off the mountain wall.

The ewe came over, but Apo didn't give it to it right away, but walked a long way with the salt in its mouth and put it on the ground. The reason why it did this was undoubtedly because it didn't want to expose its "treasure house."

This height is nothing to Wu Zhongyuan. He jumped up, climbed up with one hand, and observed the cracks. There are many salt blocks in the cracks, which are naturally formed rock salt. The size is different, and the big one is half the size of a matchbox. The small ones are about the same size as beans.

In the depths of the crack, there is a white cylindrical metal object. I probe in and grab it out. It is an old-fashioned flashlight.

This kind of flashlight is very common in rural areas. In the early years, almost every household had it. After getting it, Wu Zhongyuan knew that the flashlight was not filled with batteries but something else, because the weight was wrong.

Unscrew the cap at the end and pour out the contents, which is a roll of sheepskin wrapped in oiled paper.

I tore off the oiled paper and spread it out, and found that inside was an old sheepskin and a piece of modern kraft paper. The sheepskin was relatively small, about 32 carats, and the writing on it was in Tibetan, with very small characters and many words.The kraft paper is relatively large, about sixteen sheets, and it is written with densely packed modern Chinese characters.

The first sentence on the kraft paper is "the sheepskin left by the ancestors" in Tibetan. 'This shows that the content on this kraft paper is a translation of sheepskin Tibetan.

This flashlight was left by Yao Ziqin, and the content on the kraft paper should also be translated by Yao Ziqin.

Excited in his heart, Wu Zhongyuan didn't read it carefully, but glanced at the ten lines, and took a rough look first.

After reading it, he felt mixed joy and sorrow. What made him gratified was that it recorded a method to travel through time and space. This method was to transform a formation left by the ancient times after the little wizard woke up, so that he could travel through time and space. The wormhole is opened under certain conditions, and the person who opened the wormhole is sent back to ancient times. The detailed location of the formation and the specific method of entering that area are clearly written on the parchment.

What worries him is that certain conditions need to be met to open the wormhole. The formation is like a car. To start a car, you must have gasoline. For the formation, the gasoline to start it is the white jade. It was called Lingshi in ancient times.

The number of spirit stones is not the key to activate the formation, what is important is the amount of spirit energy contained in the spirit stones. The spirit energy contained in each spirit stone is roughly equal, but as time goes by, the spirit energy contained in the spirit stones will gradually decrease. It is necessary to search for many pieces of spirit stones until they accumulate to a certain extent before the formation can be activated.

On the second half of the kraft paper are the names of fifteen people, their gender, age, personality and appearance...
