Chapter 1370: Bird character

Li Yifei followed along, and the other old people looked at each other and followed them down. They lit up the space below with a candle in their hands.
This is not a small space below. On the contrary, it is very empty and the whole building is made of stone, so it has not been damaged for many years. The stale smell is not heavy. It is almost certain that there is air circulation here, and there is faint moisture coming in, so there should be groundwater or a small river. This Li Yifei has not seen it, so it is not clear.
Qi Shugong walked forward slowly, introducing to Li Yifei: "This place used to be a treasure house in the clan, but now there is no treasure. It used to be used to avoid disasters. In ancient times, wars continued. In order to ensure that the clan would not be annihilated, Once a war threatens the Cang family, the women, children and elders of the clan will hide here. For so many years, no outsider knows about this secret vault."
Li Yifei was also looking at this underground secret vault and nodded very seriously. In fact, their home also has an underground secret room, but it was built to a depth of more than 30 meters underground. When Li Yifei chose the site, We valued that the underground stratum is very stable and is a rock structure, so it is designed to be a building similar to an underground air-raid shelter, which contains various food, weapons, and even various survival equipment. The construction strength can prevent nuclear weapons.
Of course, he would rather never use these things, but he still built them to prevent problems before they happened. The family, only Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying knew about it, and other women didn't even know this.
The underground chamber of the Cangzhai is bigger and divided into two floors. There are a lot of stone stands and shelves, but there is nothing on it now. I continue to walk inside and pass through a long narrow passage to a stone house. There were several huge boxes. Uncle Qi looked back at the crowd, took out a key of unknown material from his arms, walked to one of the boxes, unlocked the lock, and opened the box.
A stale breath came. I don't know how long the box had been opened. Uncle Qi slapped it a few times and waited for the rot to dissipate before taking out a stone-like object.
The black stone looked like a piece of coal, but it was not coal. Uncle Qi looked at it for a while, then turned around and handed the stone to Li Yifei. At the same time, he said: "Mr. Li, this is the stone. I used to think it was a piece of coal. But look at this weight, it’s not what coal should have at all."
Li Yifei took it with both hands, and Black Stone started cold, but he was extremely heavy. Although it was only a small piece, it weighed more than ten kilograms or even heavier.
The stones are fairly regular, some resemble cuboids, the surface is pitch black, there are no traces of cutting, and they are not smooth.
There was only one stone. Li Yifei flipped the stone over, but he couldn't see the difference between it. It was not metal or stone. It was a little unpredictable for a while.
Uncle Qi followed and said: "This thing has been there for many years. Although there is no record in the clan classics, every generation of patriarch knows it. I also learned from the previous patriarch. This thing is not included in the clan history."
"It looks like it is a slightly denser stone or metal, but I have never seen a metal of this color. Is it because it has been rusted for so many years?"
"No, no, please come with me." Uncle Qi said, walking out of the stone house and walking in another direction. The sound of water that I heard before got closer and closer, and I saw an underground river appear before he went too far. Li Yifei couldn't help being surprised secretly. It was only not far from the ground that a dark river appeared. The flames passed by. Li Yifei saw several one-foot-long fish in the dark river. The whole body was transparent and the internal organs were clearly visible. Also very weird.
Uncle Qi took the stone back from Li Yifei and put it into the underground river. The fish was taken away. The stone entered the water and was immersed in it. A magical scene happened. The black stone slowly changed in the water. The color was a reddish brown, and after a while, it became red again. On the stone, there were some symbols that were difficult to identify. Li Yifei stepped forward to look, but couldn't see what it was. After a while, the symbols on the stone were fully revealed.
"Is it a bird? Or something..." Li Yifei frowned. The stone was painted with symbols. The symbols were like hieroglyphs. They were several birds with different postures and surrounded by them. Li Yifei couldn't understand, and several old people didn't understand. .
Uncle Qi took out the stone and put it in front of everyone. Everyone leaned in and shook their heads. Li Yifei counted. There are four birds on them. They are slender in shape and have different postures. Can't see what the word is.
Just listen to the uncle Qisong slowly saying: "I was also very curious at the beginning. Could it be a word? But the patriarch of the previous generation didn’t know. He just took it from the patriarch of his previous generation. How important, or where the magic is, it can be said that every generation of patriarchs has kept this thing, but no one knows what it is. I don’t know where the inheritance of this secret is broken."
Li Yifei thought about it for a while and said, "The hieroglyphs, by calculation, the age is far away, I'm afraid it will be pushed to the time of Xia and Shang. Even some primitive people have hieroglyphs."
Qi Shugong nodded gently, handed the stone to Li Yifei, and said, "I think so too. Maybe this thing can help you. Besides, we really can't help. After so many years of inheritance, The history of the family has reached the present day, and there is not much left. I am afraid that in two generations, we will only know our last name, Cang, and we have no idea why we are named Cang."
"Really give it to me?" Li Yifei was somewhat agitated. Although I didn't understand what the stone and the pattern on it were for the time being, Li Yifei was surprised to see the old man giving the stone to himself so generously.
"Of course it's for you, Mr. Li, take it. If you find this kind of stone in the stockade in the future, I will give it to you. I hope it will help you in your troubles!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Li Yifei hurriedly thanked.
Holding the stone, as Uncle Qi returned to the ground and closed the mechanism, Li Yifei looked at the pattern on it for a while. After leaving the water for a while, the pattern on it had gradually disappeared, and the whole stone gradually turned from red to black. That kind of black does not lose its color like coal, but it does not dye hands like coal. Li Yifei turned it over for a while, and there was nothing left in his hand.
Intuition tells Li Yifei that this thing is not simple, so his mood has become much better, at least this trip to Cangzhai was not in vain, and some gains were gained.
Li Yifei thanked him for a while, refused the reception from Cangzhai, took the stone with the words, and drove towards Zhongyuan City in the car driven by the tour guide.
On the way, the tour guide told Li Yifei about the background of Li Shao today. Only then did Li Yifei know Li Shao's name and his family background.
With a sneer, Li Yifei said: "A little director's son dares to do this, and he really regards himself as a god."
The tour guide said bitterly as he drove, "No idea, what is it for you to be an official these years? There is no good official. Alas, Mr. Li, you should leave Zhongyuan City as soon as possible. This kid is on the road. They are all famous, ruthless, and like a mad dog. They always bite their opponents when they look at them. They are very difficult to deal with. He is more protective of the calf. Knowing that his son is losing, he will take revenge by all means. I am afraid you will lose!"
"Excuse me, I caused you trouble,"
"It's easy to say, not to mention that I don't mix in Zhongyuan City. I will go back tomorrow when you leave."
"Um... so, I have to trouble you one more thing, help me find out where that Li Musheng lives."
"What? Mr. Li, you won't want to... I know you are good at fighting, but there is really no need to provoke Li Musheng anymore. He really has a gun, bullets don’t have eyes, just in case..."
"It doesn't matter, I have a sense of measure. If you don't deal with him, the people in the warehouse will not be safe. Since I take care of this matter, I have to have a beginning and an end."
"Okay, I'll make a few calls to help you ask questions."
The tour guide had to obey and made a few phone calls, but the news did not pass back so quickly. He sent Li Yifei to the hotel, and the tour guide left, but promised to tell Li Yifei if he found the news.
Li Yifei returned to the room and did not rush to other things. Instead, he put the black stone he brought back into the pool. After a while, the stone changed color, and the bird-shaped text appeared on it again. Li Yifei took a few pictures. The photos were sent to Yao Lingfu and Murong Yuanqing, and a copy to Su Mengxin.
It didn't take long for Murong Yuanqing to call, shouting loudly, "Boy, what are you sending me? How many birds?"
Li Yifei hurriedly said the matter to Murong Yuanqing. The old man was silent for a while and said, "I don't know much about this thing, and I don't know it, but it should be a kind of archaic writing, a kind of physique writing, right? What did Yao Lingfu say?"
"Senior Yao hasn't responded yet, I also sent her a copy." Li Yifei said,
Murong Yuanqing sighed, and said: "So your kid has already gone to find a solution. You really should be anxious about this kind of thing. I wish you all the best. Okay, let's not say anything. I have something else. What do I do not understand? Call me again."
Yao Lingfu didn’t reply, so Li Yifei called the house, asked about the situation, took turns talking with a few women, and told them their progress. The girls all comforted Li Yifei not to worry. Slowly, they waited.
Li Yifei hung up the phone with emotion, and his belief in finding a solution became even stronger.
An hour later, Yao Lingfu's call came back, and Li Yifei hurriedly answered it.
"Boy, where did you get this?" As soon as Yao Lingfu called, her hurried voice came.
