Chapter 218: Complete version of
Chen Guanlou was never a nosy person, it was just that his curiosity was slightly stronger. After all, his strength was there, fighting a fifth-rank martial artist, and having the strength to retreat completely, satisfying his curiosity was no problem, right.
He also didn't intend to report the matter of the second leader and the Tianmen Sect, too lazy to care.
He wasn't a person from the Six Fanmen, and wasn't responsible for arrest work. He was just a prison guard, guarding prisoners was his duty. In the Heavenly Prison, everyone was doing this. Even if a case clue was discovered, no one would take the initiative to report it. It was purely looking for trouble.
He just didn't like dealing with people from the Six Fanmen, one by one arrogant, and there was no money to take. In the Heavenly Prison, if they didn't give money and still wanted to order people around, why didn't they go die.
"Now can you tell me the address of the mountain cave?" Chen Guanlou asked the second leader.
The second leader's eyes were bloodshot, looking at the head eagerly, "Will you keep your promise?"
Chen Guanlou nodded, "You can only choose to trust me. Otherwise, no one can help you. In the Heavenly Prison, there are hundreds of people, only I am interested in this thing."
The second leader bit his back teeth, "Fine, I trust you. The address is at the cliff behind the mountain of the nest destroyed by the government soldiers, go down about thirty zhang from the position of the crooked-neck pine tree, there are many vines covering it. Lift the vines, and you can see the cave entrance. However, the cave entrance was blocked by us with stones. If you want to go in, you still need to spend some effort."
"Is there anything else that needs to be confessed?" Chen Guanlou continued to ask.
The second leader shook his head, "Nothing." After speaking, he squirmed his body, returned to the depths of the cell, and hid himself in the darkest corner.
Walking out of the Bing-sized cell block, Lu Datou nagged all the way, "You won't really believe him, right. I tell you, this type of person will do anything to achieve their goals, maybe the so-called manual was made up by him to fool you."
Chen Guanlou said very easily: "Maybe what he said is true. You help me inquire, how long until Yin Siniang gives birth?"
"You are really helping him!" Lu Datou was very astonished.
"I can't break my reputation. Everyone trusts me, is willing to follow me, is willing to listen to my orders, isn't it because I am a trustworthy person, and my words count. If I were a villain who didn't keep promises and was fickle, Brother Datou, would you treat me as a friend?"
"That definitely wouldn't happen, I would have let you take the blame long ago, and you would never want to get ahead in your life."
"Hahaha..."
A few days later, taking advantage of the rest day, Chen Guanlou changed his appearance and left the capital. This time he played a hunter. A hunter going deep into the old forest, very normal, right.
It was very easy to find the mountain bandit's nest, looking around, it was all traces left by small-scale war conflicts, the entire nest was turned upside down, everything valuable was taken away. What couldn't be taken was all smashed, burned, and thoroughly destroyed.
He didn't stay, heading straight for the cliff behind the mountain, a cliff hundreds of zhang high, standing on the edge of the cliff looking down, feeling dizzy.
The crooked-neck pine tree was very easy to find.
If it weren't for this coordinate, he would have to spend a lot of effort to find a hidden mountain cave on a wide and steep cliff.
Jumping down directly, grabbing the vines, chopping with a knife and axe, the mountain cave hidden behind the vines finally revealed its true face.
Just as the second leader said, the mountain cave was blocked by stones.
This small problem couldn't stump him.
With one slash, the mountain didn't collapse but the stone cracked, and soon a cave entrance accessible to people was made.
Lighting firewood and throwing it into the cave, after waiting for the insects and ants to disappear, he walked into the mountain cave.
The mountain cave wasn't deep, one could see the end of the mountain cave at a glance, estimated to be thirteen or fourteen meters deep. High, about five or six meters. There were no traces of artificial axes.
Only the two stone walls away from the cave entrance appeared exceptionally flat.
"Ascension Record"!
The complete "Ascension Record"!
Chen Guanlou gently touched the stone wall, what kind of profound martial arts, what kind of person, actually carved the full text of "Ascension Record" in this secret mountain cave!
The brush power of the carved characters was astonishing, penetrating the stone wall. Chen Guanlou seemed to see a picture in front of him, a dissolute and uninhibited Jianghu wanderer, using a knife as a brush, splashing full of heroic spirit, writing chapters of "Ascension Record"!
Chapter one, chapter two, chapter three... chapter four...
Eh!
Chen Guanlou revealed a look of surprise.
This book "Ascension Record", he had long ago memorized it by heart, reciting it forward, reciting it backward, he could recite it without a single word wrong.
He was sure he hadn't seen it wrong.
Comparing the "Ascension Record" on the stone wall, the "Ascension Record" in his hand actually had missing words, fewer words, and leaked words starting from the fourth chapter. As the saying goes, a miss is as good as a mile, missing one word, the meaning is completely different, practicing according to the missing-word version of "Ascension Record", he was afraid he would go into demonic deviation and explode to death.
He secretly rejoiced, fortunately, fortunately, he discovered these two stone walls before practicing the fourth chapter of "Ascension Record", and discovered the complete version of "Ascension Record".
However, a new question came.
Who copied the "Ascension Record" on the stone wall, and spread it to the Jianghu, eventually being picked up by Luo Jingtian, and finally falling into his hands?
Could it be that group of mountain bandits?
He flipped through the second leader's file, the entire mountain bandit nest, only one was literate, serving as an accountant, without martial pulses, and didn't know martial arts. The possibility of the accountant copying and spreading "Ascension Record" was extremely small, basically could be excluded.
Combined with the situation learned, the person who copied "Ascension Record" should know a little martial arts, but the cultivation was limited. As for the situation of missing words, fewer words, and leaked words, it was either intentional, or the situation was urgent at the time, and the copier didn't have time to compare word by word, only seeking speed and not quality. There was another situation, the copier first memorized the entire "Ascension Record", and after returning, transcribed it. However, in the process of transcription, because the memory wasn't deep enough, errors and omissions appeared starting from the fourth chapter.
No matter which situation, it would end here.
Chen Guanlou spent a day and night, personally transcribing the full text of "Ascension Record".
The day dawned!
He stood at the entrance of the mountain cave, looking into the distance, mountains connecting to mountains, one higher than the other.
Drawing his knife, with the most sincere heart, he wiped away the traces on the stone wall, without leaving a single stroke, without leaving even a little person.
The dust scattered and fell to the ground, as if overlapping with a figure from many years ago, one using a knife as a brush to write, one using a knife as a grindstone to wipe. The two flat stone walls finally became bare, and no traces could be found anymore.
"Ascension Record", now only he possessed the complete version.
After finishing the matter, he set off to return to the capital.
He found the female prisoner manager, Hu Yuli, a eunuch who had retired from the palace, the only special existence in the Heavenly Prison, and even in the Ministry of Justice, and also the most marginal figure in the Heavenly Prison. Marginal to the point that people often forgot there was such a person. Too low-key, too lacking in presence. ===== CHAPTER 219 =====
