Mystery One, Toyotomi's Secret Order

Chapter 24

The dark clouds in the sky suddenly opened a cloud hole from the cotton-like clouds. Like a ghost, the moonlight broke through the cocoon from the hole, and a beam of light went straight down to the tomb mound, like a searchlight hitting the stage impartially. .

Seeing this, the two quickly disappeared into the grass again.

"Champ...that baby of yours is really smart!" Jiang Long exclaimed overjoyed.

"It's the moon god who shows mercy, Fairy Chang'e... I want us to see clearly, don't make this trip in vain!"

"Next time, ask her to show her powers and tell me the lottery number... I'm really going to win. I will definitely ask the theater troupe to perform for a month and repay her well." Jiang Longkou said without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, a cloud suddenly floated over, covering the moonlight that appeared for a while, and the surroundings fell into darkness for an instant.

Seeing this, Jiang Long clapped his hands together, and said in his mouth: "Forgive the gods. Forgive the gods. In the next moment, you will be obsessed with money, sins and sins... I don't dare to speak nonsense and greed again... I beg you to do well. Forgive me Once... I asked the theater troupe to act for you."

Jiang Long's words fell to the ground.Strange to say, the night sky suddenly brightened again.This time Jiang Long kept his mouth shut, not daring to speak nonsense again, for fear of offending Moon God again.

Under the moonlight, the top of the tomb mound was surprisingly flat.This scene made Zhang Wei feel weird and puzzled.Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, and a smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Long looked at his companion who suddenly smiled, and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"Do you see anything unusual about it?"

Jiang Long quickly widened his eyes and stared at the top of the mound.

"No... nothing... different..."

"Look carefully!"

Jiang Long stared at him several times, but still looked down on him...

"No. I don't see any difference."

"Weeds on the mound... look again..."

Jiang Long concentrated again and looked at it again.Then muttered to himself...

"What's wrong with this grass... I think it's growing pretty well... Neatly..."

When Zhang Wei heard this, the smile on his face became even more joyful.

"It's neat...but it's too neat!"

"The grass grows neatly...isn't it right?" Jiang Long replied with a frown.

"No. No. Is there any weed that grows so neatly?"

Only then did Jiang Long suddenly realize.

"Yes. Yes. Yes. The weeds grow so neatly..."

Jiang Long turned around and blinked fiercely at Zhang Wei.

"Thanks to the moon god's mercy, this tomb has been repaired recently... Look at the grass on this mound, it doesn't look like wild growth at all, but it looks like it was artificially planted."

Zhang Wei raised his finger slightly, and pointed towards the mound.

"See, these... these weeds grow so neatly, they are all at the same height, where are the weeds growing so evenly high."

"Ah...that's right...this is evil!"

"If it weren't for this moonlight, I'm afraid we would not be able to see this "vision" even if we come back ten times!"

Holding the ancient jade on his chest, Zhang Wei looked up at the bright moon in the cloud hole in the sky, feeling very excited.

I don't know if it's God's words of gratitude for Zhang Wei's satisfaction.The cloud holes that were originally scattered were closed again by a gust of wind, and the earth returned to darkness.

Zhang Wei raised his left hand again and held the ancient jade tightly, feeling extremely grateful in his heart.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Zhang Wei originally thought that he would be busy with the night inspection operation for nothing, but he didn't expect that there would be a turnaround when he left at the end.Can't help but let Zhang Wei have more reverie in his heart.

"These Japanese, although they are cautious in doing things, they are very secretive."

"How do you say that?"

"Just now you and I found any... traces of excavation on the mound?"

Jiang Long shook his head.

"All I can say is that the Japanese did a good job of covering it up afterwards...but it went too far."

Zhang Wei shook his head with a smile.

"It's too...too late! Although just now...you have deceived the two of us. But God has eyes and can avoid human eyes, but you can't escape the "eyes of heaven"!"

Zhang Wei's eyes were still fixed on the mound.

"The Japanese are too... so strict that even the weeds on the backfill of the mound are neatly planted... This does not tell us...they have already been here. The grass has not just been trimmed! Or else There must be traces of mowing on the grass heads. I checked just now...all the grass heads are still there, and there are no traces of mowing. Now, when the moonlight shines, it will all be leaked! Moonlight... I'm afraid no one will be able to see this! I said... yes, this is Zheng He... showing us the spirit!"

Having said that, Zhang Wei involuntarily raised his hand to hold the ancient jade on his chest.

Jiang Long didn't doubt his companion's judgment, but his expression still couldn't believe the words of the gods and ghosts that came out of Zhang Wei's mouth.

"You really believe this!"

Zhang Wei stopped laughing, and said seriously: "Did Confucius say: 'Respect ghosts and gods and stay away.' I respect them! There are too many things in the world that cannot be explained by science. I have never seen it... I can’t say that there is no !Even if you’ve seen it before… you can’t say it’s all there. Isn’t it?”

Zhang Wei's Zen-like explanation naturally made his companion even more confused.Jiang Long didn't bother much, and quickly turned his attention to the nearby villages.

"What should we do next? There is a village down here, do you want to ask them? Find out what the devils are doing?"

"I don't think so."

Zhang Wei waved his hand lightly, turned his gaze, and aimed at the sentry post at the entrance.

"The cemetery has been cleaned up, and there are Japanese guards here. Let's go to investigate, I'm afraid it will only cause trouble for them... Besides, we will not reveal our whereabouts... Tell the devils clearly... We have been here."

"Aren't the devils taking advantage of it again?"

Jiang Longcai was about to curse again, but Zhang Wei said first, "Not necessarily. They must not have found what they were looking for yet."

Jiang Long looked at his companion again in confusion.

"If the Japanese have already found what they want, why do they need Aunt Ma's genealogy? Are they required to bring the genealogy to register their household registration and perform a series of tricks?"

"Is that... related to this?" Jiang Long stammered.

"Zheng He's surname "Zheng" was bestowed by the emperor. His family was originally from Yunnan during the Yuan Dynasty, the so-called Semu people, not Han people. In fact, his family name was "Ma" and his name was "Sanbao". Before Zheng He, his real name was Ma Sanbao."

Jiang Long suddenly realized: "No wonder everyone calls him Sanbao eunuch."

Zhang Wei added: "This is just one of the sayings. The other saying is that Zheng He later received the precepts and converted to become a Buddhist. The Three Jewels refer to the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha."

"Whatever he means. Anyway, what the devil did... must have something to do with Zheng He, right?"

"I think so. The Japanese must have not found what they were looking for in Zheng He's tomb. So they planned to start with Zheng He's descendants and wanted to confirm it from the genealogy, but they were rejected by people like Mrs. Ma. So, So I figured out the monkey trick of household registration."

"That's right! Aunt Ma, are you really a descendant of Zheng He?"

"Otherwise, why do you want her genealogy? Even if not, the Japanese will use the same method to find...the person they are looking for. Tomb-sweeping Day is a big festival for Chinese people to worship their ancestors. It is impossible for the Japanese not to know this tradition. So I came up with this plan. The excuse is to close the mountain, and then deliberately arrange loose guards. To track down the descendants who came to visit the grave secretly, I think this is the reason for finding Madam Ma.”

Zhang Wei glanced at the tomb mound again.

"Unexpectedly, this plan didn't work, so they made a series of tricks. The Chinese have always respected the ancestors of heaven and the ancestors, and they regard genealogy more important than their lives. It is unlikely that the genealogy will be lost, so the Japanese came up with this idea."

"Of course! Destroying the family tree is disrespectful to the ancestors." Jiang Long nodded abruptly.

"It's just that Zheng He has been dead for more than 500 years. If there is any treasure inside, the tomb would have been stolen long ago. Can it be kept until today?"

Zhang Wei also felt that Jiang Long's words were reasonable, and thought for a moment: "If the Japanese are not looking for treasures, but other things such as clues. Tracking down Zheng He's descendants, this... can be explained. If, Mrs. Ma If the family is really the descendants of Zheng He, then..."

Zhang Wei and Jiang Long said in unison: "She is dangerous."

The quick-tempered Jiang Long blurted out a suggestion: "Let's go and write to her quickly! To avoid being poisoned by devils."

"Yes. Let's go to Boss Liu."

The two immediately packed up their equipment and left Niu Shou Mountain.

Warning

Nanjing in [-]

Just before dawn, Zhang Wei and Jiang Long appeared in front of the breakfast shop again, and Boss Liu was busy pasting sesame seed cakes in the stove.As soon as he looked up and saw the two of them coming, he immediately handed over the work to the young man in his early teens next to him.

"Sunja, come and pick me up."

Turning around, Boss Liu greeted with a friendly smile on his face: "Morning! It's so early this morning? The shop just opened. What do you two want to use? Is it the same as yesterday?"

Before Boss Liu finished speaking, Jiang Long snapped his head and said, "Hurry up and tell Mrs. Ma that her house may be in danger, and she may be the person the devil is looking for!"

Hearing Jiang Long's yelling, Boss Liu panicked, and shouted at the young man, "Shunzi, hurry up and take the two gentlemen to Mrs. Ma."

The young man was holding the big iron tongs for holding sesame seed cakes in his hand, staring at the raging flames in the stove, and panicked for a moment, not knowing what to do.

"What about the biscuits?"

Boss Liu yelled: "Don't worry about it, go quickly."

The kid hurriedly handed over the towel on his neck and the iron clip in his hand to the boss, turned around and said to the two guests, "Uncle, come with me."

Leading Zhang Wei and Jiang Long, the three of them disappeared into the alley.

Zhang Wei and Jiang Long, led by Shunzi, turned four or five corners, and in a blink of an eye they came to the door of an old courtyard house, and Shunzi knocked hard on the door.After a while, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me! Shun
