Because I was so excited that I no longer felt sleepy at all, I read the book carefully again. It wasn't until dawn that my eyes felt a little dull, so I lay on the bed and squinted for a while.

When I woke up again, the sun had already filtered in through the window. I quickly got up, rubbed my sleepy eyes, and walked to the window.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and there were a few snow-white clouds floating in the blue sky. It looked so peaceful and lofty, with a kind of autumn-like clarity and loneliness. At this time, the haze in my heart was temporarily swept away. I felt refreshed and in a much more cheerful mood.

I really hope that we can quickly eliminate Blind Man Gao and those monsters. By then, we can return to this ordinary, but extremely beautiful, peaceful life.

After washing up, I went downstairs and had some breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Maybe I had consumed too much energy in the past two days, so I had a big appetite. I drank three bowls of tofu curd, four fried dough sticks, and a drawer of steamed buns.

Just when I was "full of wine and food" and lazily leaning on the chair and picking my teeth, I suddenly received a text message from Sister Li, saying that we should meet at my cousin's house. During these days, for us, my cousin's house It has become a "combat headquarters", and almost all our action plans are formulated there.

When I arrived at my cousin's house, I found that after a night's rest, everyone had regained their energy, and all signs of fatigue and fatigue were gone.

Everyone sat together, and I quickly stated the plan I thought of last night as clearly as possible for everyone to refer to. I started with that book to learn more about the cave and the core of Gao Xiazi. secret, because I can judge based on the content before and after that the torn pages in the book are very likely to contain shocking secrets.

After hearing this, everyone was very excited. This was undoubtedly a very important breakthrough point when things were in a desperate situation, but only my cousin lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"Cousin, do you think this plan of mine is not feasible?" Seeing my cousin like this, I couldn't help but ask. After hearing my question, the three of them also turned their attention to my cousin at the same time.

My cousin slowly raised his head, looked at us, and said calmly: "I don't think your plan is bad, but I have a big question in my mind, that is, from my master Why is there so many pages missing from the book I got there? Did my master tear the missing pages himself, or were they lost when he received the book?"

When my cousin asked this question, we were immediately stunned.

Yes, my cousin is right. If the Feng Shui master tore out these twenty pages, it means that he has read the contents of these pages. If that is the case, just ask him directly; but if he did not tear it up Yes, that thing is very strange.

My cousin is right, it is better to verify this first before doing the follow-up.

My cousin always does things vigorously and resolutely. Once he decides on something, he will do it immediately without hesitation. This is one of his important work styles.

This time he was no exception. After saying this, he immediately returned to his room and called the Feng Shui master for confirmation. After more than half an hour, he walked out of the room. We found that the cousin There was a strange expression on his face, a little surprised, a little worried, and a little confused.

He slowly sat on the sofa and did not speak immediately, as if he was thinking about something, as if his thoughts were still stuck in the phone call with the Feng Shui master just now. We all sat there in silence, not rushing to ask him questions, because there were only a few of us. Everyone understood that this phone call with the Feng Shui master must have yielded unexpected information, otherwise my cousin would not have this reaction.

Just like that, no one spoke, and the room seemed extremely quiet. Everyone's breathing could be heard. After a long while, my cousin raised his head slightly, collected his emotions, cleared his throat, and we You know, he is going to talk about the contents of this phone call soon.

Sure enough, the cousin calmed down his emotions and said slowly: "Just now I asked the master on the phone why so many pages were missing in this book. Did he tear it up himself, or did he get the book? By the time I came up, these page numbers had disappeared."

"Then what did the Feng Shui master say?" Sister Li asked impatiently.

My cousin looked at Sister Li and said with a heavy expression: "I very much hope that my master tore these missing pages by himself, and then he just tells us the contents of the torn out pages, because at this moment, we have to try our best to No more unnecessary extraneous matters, no more useless efforts, because we can no longer afford to waste either time or energy.

But what disappoints me is that these missing pages were not torn out by my master, but when he got this book, there were more than 20 pages of this book that were torn out mysteriously. As for who did it and why He didn't even know he was doing this. Alas, he was really afraid of what he was going to do.

But what is certain is that after reading the entire book, my master also felt that it was very strange that these page numbers were missing. At that time, he personally investigated who had torn off these twenty-odd pages, but when he asked, he found that it was very strange. He didn't ask why, and he didn't pay much attention to the matter at the time, so it just passed.

Later, my master also came to this mountain, and there were incidents in which his newlywed wife was killed one after another, and he had a life-or-death duel with Blind Man Gao. After these things, he suddenly thought of this book, and The mysteriously missing page number, and based on the content of the book, he also believed that the missing page number might involve the core secret of the cave and the blind man.

Therefore, the information provided by this book is of great significance to him, because the secrets in the book allow him to directly understand the most critical and secret information, and this information is important for his revenge. It's extremely important.

So, he began to re-investigate the matter of the page numbers being torn off. To this end, he even rushed back to Shanghai several times. However, in the process, my master was surprised to find that the more he investigated, the weirder the matter became. The more mysterious it is.

Speaking of which, this book was not sent directly to him by the American professor, but first sent to Tang Chizhou, the young famous doctor who accompanied the professor to the mountain for inspection, and then Tang passed it on to him.

The detailed ins and outs of this incident are roughly as follows.

Although Tang Chizhou was young at that time, because of his superb medical skills, he was hired as a part-time professor of the medical school by a prestigious university in Shanghai.

At that time, domestic famous universities, in order to encourage students to cultivate a global knowledge perspective, the school could purchase foreign books for students. Students only need to write down the books they want to buy on the book list, and the school will purchase them uniformly, and only from students. Book fees are charged, and shipping costs are borne by the school.

Tang Chizhou's university also had this policy. The school would regularly purchase books from various universities in the United States. At that time, going from China to the United States mainly relied on sea transportation instead of air transportation, so it was very inconvenient. The professor in the United States brought him The book I wrote was sent back together with the books purchased by Tang Chizhou's university, which was more convenient and faster than sending it separately.

Therefore, this book first reached Tang Chizhou, and then he transferred it to my master.

Therefore, when my master investigated this incident of torn pages, of course he first asked Tang Chizhou.

After listening to my master's inquiry, Tang Chizhou looked innocent. He said that he went to that mountain with the professor, and this book was written about various experiences on that mountain. Therefore, as the person involved, he First, he felt that since he knew all the strange things that happened during the period, there was no need to read the professor's book, so he did not read the book at all, nor did he want to read it.

Moreover, Tang Chizhou also said that when the book was handed over to the master, he had not even opened the original kraft paper packaging, so he knew nothing about the missing pages.

At that time, the master felt that Tang Chizhou's explanations were reasonable. Since Tang Chizhou accompanied the professor throughout the whole process, if the book involves things like blind man Gao, then it stands to reason that Tang Chizhou should also know about it. In other words, If there is any major secret hidden in those missing pages, then Tang Chizhou should also know about it.

Because the two were good friends, my master was not polite. He asked Tang Chizhou to give him all the details of the various things he experienced when he came to this mountain with the professor and the professor's two students. He told it in detail. He wanted to use Tang Chizhou's narration to confirm and speculate on what kind of secrets were hidden in the missing pages.

Tang Chizhou followed the master's instructions and told him all the experiences of their expedition to this mountain in detail.

While listening, the master compared in detail whether the experience described by the professor in the book matched with what Tang Chizhou told. Because Tang Chizhou and the professor were both eyewitnesses of the event, and they experienced it together, so it is common sense to speculate that they met The thing should be exactly the same.

However, when he listened to Tang Chizhou's story and compared the contents in the book to see if they were consistent and corresponding, he suddenly discovered a very strange detail. From this detail, it seemed that he could infer that the professor had an experience that was very strange. Maybe he acted alone, which means that in that experience, he neither took Tang Chizhou nor his two students.

What kind of details?

According to the description in the book, the specifics are as follows: One night when he was exploring this mountain, he couldn't sleep alone and went out for a walk alone. It was already late at night and the cool breeze was blowing outside. The blowing was very comfortable, so he left the yard of the shop and came to the deserted street. At this moment, he suddenly saw a strange phenomenon. On the back mountain, a rainbow actually appeared. It didn't rain at all for two days and it was always cloudless. How could a rainbow appear? Besides, it was still at night.

That rainbow is even more unique. It is not as colorful and beautiful as an ordinary rainbow. This rainbow only has colorful lights on the edge, and the entire theme part seems to be composed of dark clouds. , but the overall shape is no different from an ordinary rainbow.

As for what happened next, the master could not know from the book, because the next page number happened to be the part that was torn out.

So, he asked Tang Chizhou at that time whether the professor asked him to go with him or mentioned it to him after he saw a strange rainbow appearing in the back mountain late one night.

What made the master feel very unusual was that Tang Chizhou was very shocked after hearing this. He shook his head repeatedly and said that the professor had never mentioned this to him, nor did he ask him to take action together after seeing the rainbow. .
