Luo Lie has no ability to predict the future, of course he can't guess what's inside. Luo Xingmu didn't expect him to guess. He smiled and said, "There are all Arabic numerals inside, and there is only a small seal with a seal with a seal with a small seal at the end. I was stunned at that time. The first thought was that the old man deliberately teased me and wanted to tear the letter, but then he thought that with his rigidity, he shouldn't do such a boring thing, so I put the letter away again.

Later, I went to join the army and fought with the army for several years in a daze. I went to many places in the battles in the south and north. Since then, I have never seen your grandfather again. Until the establishment of the Republic of China, I was worried about being liquidated because I followed the Qing army and the revolutionary army in the past and were worried about being liquidated, so I planned to hide in Nanyang for a few years and come back after the situation stabilized. But unexpectedly, before I could leave, I heard about your grandfather’s suicide.”

Luo Lie felt sad. When his grandfather committed suicide, he was still studying on the other side of the ocean. No one informed him of this bad news. It was not until he returned to China that he learned that the old man had passed away. This incident made him regret it. In fact, it was the old man's own intention that he did not inform him to come back to help the spirits and end up sending him off. After Luo Lie returned to China, he specifically kept his soul for the old man for three months, which was also some reward for his grace for raising his grandfather.

Luo Xingmu said: "At the moment I boarded the boat, I gave up the idea of ​​leaving and decided to return to my hometown. It was not because of the father-son relationship that I had funeral for him, but that letter always became an indelible mystery in my heart. I could never figure out why he left those strange numbers. Is there any special meaning in it?

When I returned to my hometown, the old man had already been buried in peace, and I didn't disturb anyone. In fact, no one knew that he had a son like me. He came to his tomb to worship for a while. I took out the letter and found that there was a Feng character in the same font on the tombstone. Because the tombstone was standard Han Li, but the only one Feng character was small seal script, so I was particularly eye-catching. Looking at the sacrificial text on the tombstone, I suddenly remembered the letter that the old man gave me back then, so I arranged the numbers on the letter and found the text on the tombstone one by one. After I penetrated it, there was an address hidden. I found the place where the old man buried things according to the address above. I found a box of silver ingots and a house deed from there, and then I came to Fengtian according to the instructions of the house deed."

Luo Liedao: "Is the house deed here?"

Luo Xingmu nodded and said, "It's here that the old man should be a master who is good at setting puzzles. When I came here, I found the secret room here according to the text I cracked. I found some antiques in it, which were from all dynasties, and most of them were worth little. Although I am an outsider, I can also see that these things are all bright objects, mostly from tombs. I realized that when the old man was young, he should have started with gold and striking money."

The gold-touching and fighting are just a saying in the world. To put it bluntly, it is to rob and dig tombs, which is not an open and upright business. Luo Lie was also surprised. No matter what, he could not associate the grandfather of the former Qing dynasty's grandfather with tomb robbers. But his grandfather has passed away. Although Luo Xingmu, as his biological son, seems to have no need to slander him now.

Luo Xingmu said: "There are not many valuable things in the secret room. I found a map and thought that the map might be the treasure map of the old man, so I lived here. I had no other skills and only knew some carpenter work. I decided to open a coffin shop. One way to make money to make a living, the other way to hide my identity and search for this house carefully. The text on the map was very strange. Although I had been reading for a few years, I still didn't recognize a single word. I copied a few of them, went to Manchu University to ask for advice, and found several well-known professors. Some of them said it was oracle bone inscriptions, some said it was ancient Khitan, and some said it was foreign. The common point was that everyone could recognize it, and they didn't recognize a single word."

Luo Lie was stunned. Since his mother died, he was taken over by his grandfather. In the years he was with his grandfather, in addition to asking someone to teach him about his calligraphy, and there was a secret that only his grandfather and grandson knew. Grandpa mastered an extremely rare font, which was derived from the Dayu Monument. Luo Lie also later learned that the Dayu Monument was carved for Dayu's songs to praise the merits of the Dayu Flood Control. The text on it was simple and strange, and no one could interpret it. The now well-known Yu Shen Monument is located in Yuelu Mountain. It was rebuilt during the Jiading period of the Song Dynasty and is no longer the same as before. Luo Lie once visited Yuelu Mountain, which was completely different from the words that his grandfather taught him. It can be said that the set of fonts given to him by his grandfather is more profound and difficult to understand.

Luo Xingmu said: "I am persistent by nature. Since Fengtian is no one can interpret it, I went to other places to ask for help. So I went to Peking and found Mr. Ma Boxuan, a professor of archaeology at Yanjing University. He can be called the first person in ancient Chinese characters today. He has a deep attainment in ancient Chinese characters in all dynasties, especially in oracle bone script research. I didn't want to reveal the secrets easily, so I messed up the words I described. After reading them, he felt like he had a treasure. He was always calm and he was so excited that he danced like a child. He said that this might be an ancient Xia language!" Perhaps because he was worried that Luo Lie would not understand his meaning, he added: "He asked me where I got these words from. If I could find the originals of these words, it might be able to push forward the recorded history of China. It would be the greatest discovery for China's civilization history in the whole world."

Luo Lie nodded. Luo Xingmu did not exaggerate this. After all, the history recorded in China has started from the Shang Dynasty. The history of the Xia Dynasty before the Xia Dynasty always lacked convincing evidence. If evidence of the Xia Dynasty's writing can be found, it will definitely become the greatest discovery in archaeological history. Could it be that the text my grandfather taught him was Xia Dynasty?

Luo Xingmu said: "Of course I won't leak this secret to him easily, but I just asked him to help decipher those words. Ma Boxuan is indeed a great talent in the world, but despite this, he spent three months to help me crack three words. During this process, he repeatedly begged me to show him the original. I began to realize the importance of these things, so I insisted that there was no original. After I rejected Ma Boxuan several times, I stopped mentioning it. I couldn't stay in Peking for a long time, and agreed with Ma Boxuan to see him again half a year later. I didn't expect that I would be followed by me when I returned to Fengtian."

Luo Lie laughed silently. If a person is obsessed with something, he will often make irrational actions. Even if he is a scholar like Ma Boxuan, everyone is no exception. If he is not too persistent, how could he follow things with his nobleness and character?

Luo Xingmu said: "I got off the train and found him. Ma Boxuan is a very face-loving nerd. After I was knocked through it, he felt ashamed and ashamed. Then he confessed to me that the words I showed him were probably related to the Yu Shen Monument."

Luo Lie deliberately said, "Yu Shen Monument? I have been to it. Isn't it the one on Yuelu Mountain? Why didn't he go to see the original works? He wanted to follow you?"

Luo Xingmu showed a little disdain on his face: "The Yu Shen Monument you mentioned was rebuilt during the Jiading period of the Song Dynasty. It is not an authentic work at all. If you can be confused, how can you be confused about a great scholar like Ma Boxuan?" His words were quite respected by Ma Boxuan, and he did not expect that the inscription of Dayu Monument was not a secret to his nephew in front of him.

Luo Lie thought to himself that he thought his grandfather was just a depressed and unsuccessful old scholar, but he didn't expect that he had another little-known side. In this way, the numbers in the letter to Luo Xingmu and the ancient words he taught him in the past all had his intentions.

Luo Xingmu said: "I reached an agreement with Ma Boxuan, and I will provide him with the original. He promised not to leak the secret to a third person. In order to show his sincerity, he also mortgaged me the only real estate in Peking.

I showed him that map, and then I realized that Ma Boxuan had always reserved me in the past. In the past three months, he had actually cracked twelve words. He was very excited to see that map, thinking that this map should be related to the original location of the Yu Shen Monument. I didn’t have much interest in archaeological academics, but I just heard from him that if I could find the Yu Shen Monument, then this discovery would definitely rewrite the entire history of human civilization, and the benefits obtained were immeasurable. I couldn’t resist the temptation of interests, so Ma Boxuan and I decided to cooperate to find the Yu Shen Monument.

But any adventure requires financial support. Ma Boxuan is a nerd. I don’t have much money when I open a coffin shop. So we decided to absorb another member. The man named Fang Kewen is a student Ma Boxuan once taught and a big shot in the collection industry in the capital. Of course, we would not tell him about the search for the Yu Shen Monument, but just said that we would go to explore and search for treasure together."

Speaking of this, Luo Xingmu felt dry mouth and he got up to pour water. Although there was still half a bottle of water in the thermos, it was already cold. Luo Xingmu poured a bowl of water, but did not greet Luo Lie. He picked up a large thick porcelain bowl and drank it clean, wiped the corners of his lips and said, "According to the place marked on the map, we successfully found several tombs at the beginning, but these tombs have basically been robbed. Despite this, we also gained a lot. After all, the tomb robbers before could not take away all the burial objects in the tomb."

Luo Lie nodded and speculated that the tombs Luo Xingmu went to should be the places where his grandfather had visited, so the picture came into being.
