When the note was taken out, it was already a little yellowed. Yes, after all, it had been at least 7 years. There were only a few simple sentences on the unfolded note, which was Master's handwriting.

Chengyi, if destiny has you discover this note, then Master will no longer keep the secret. The secret is on the metal chain. Run colored water through the metal chain and wipe it dry. You will naturally see this.

Whether you can understand the secret or not depends on fate.

I held the note and felt baffled. Even if I discovered the secret, could I understand it or not? It still depends on fate. But I kept the note habitually. Master left me with too few memories. He was a

A person who doesn’t even have a photo, even if it is a work ID, he has been granted permission, and it actually has a sketch of him on it!

Later, I don't know if he tore it off, but I didn't find it.

As for whether Master has an ID card, this question is a mystery. Anyway, I have never seen it!

There was nothing better to do. Everyone saw this note. Brother Chengxin stood up without saying anything and said, "I'm going out to buy a bottle of ink."

Colored water and ink are naturally the most suitable. After saying this, Brother Chengxin went out.

Qinhuai Ruyue and I were the only three people left in the room. Qinhuai and Ruyue seemed to get along quite well. When they encountered such a foggy thing, they seemed excited about something and started discussing it.

I seemed to be sitting calmly on the sofa, but how could I calm down in my heart? Thinking about this, I couldn't help but take out a metal chain and look at it carefully.

I found that this metal chain is quite heavy to buy, at least heavier than an iron chain! It is also extremely hard, and the outer strap also has a certain degree of flexibility. If there is no flexibility, how can it be made into a chain?

I don't understand metal, and I don't know what kind of material it is made of. I just feel that this silver-white metal chain has a charming luster if you look closely, but it is very restrained.

Could it be an alloy? Thinking about it, I think it’s impossible. Were there alloys in Master’s time? Was there any?

I can't dwell on this issue. After all, Master's circumstances are too strange. Even if you tell me that he brought back metal from Mars, I will believe it.

In terms of metal, I can't find any problems. I can only find out from the things carved on it. But apart from some formations and runes carved on it, I really can't see anything. To put it bluntly, I can't even see it.

My understanding of the seal-carving runes and formations is limited. If I really want to study and think based on my interest, it is not an exaggeration to say that in five years, I may have a certain understanding, but it is impossible to completely implement them.

.

I said I didn't notice it, but there was something slightly wrong. It was so small that I even wondered if I was being too picky. What was it? There were some tiny scratches on the metal chain. It seemed to me.

It's messy, isn't that something wrong?

While I was holding the metal chain and studying it, Brother Chengxin soon came back with several bottles of red ink.

I put down the chain. Since I couldn't see anything myself, I would just follow Master's instructions and do it honestly.

Putting the red ink on the table, I also took the metal chains, nine in total, then opened a bottle of red ink, picked up one of the chains, and poured the red ink down from top to bottom.

The red ink flowed through the chain and slid down quickly. It seemed that the metal chain had the same characteristics as the magic weapons described in ancient times - killing people without blood! Because blood marks would quickly slip off the weapon blade.

But there are runes and formations engraved on the chain, and ink has been 'left' in those places, making the runes and formations more clearly visible. But what is this? I don't understand. Could it be that I was asked to put the runes and formations together?

Can you see more clearly?

After waiting for a while, there were no new changes in the chain. We took a piece of paper and wiped the chain dry according to Master's instructions, but found that there were no changes or any clues in the entire chain.

What is going on? A few of us looked at each other. Could it be that Master has a bad taste and is teasing us?

"Chengyi, what do you think?" Qinhuai, a person who is most interested in solving the mystery, couldn't hold back at first and asked me quickly.

I frowned slightly in thought, but Brother Chengxin was calm, took off his glasses, wiped them, and said, "What else can you say? Uncle Master left a message saying that there are secrets on the metal chains, but he didn't say which metal chain had the secrets, or

We have them all, so let’s test all the metal chains before talking.”

Brother Chengxin's view was correct, which made me calm down a lot, so I took my time and tested every chain. In the end, we found something different.

Three of the chains left us with incomprehensible patterns!

One of the chains, I remember, is the one I was sitting on the sofa observing just now. Sure enough, those tiny scratches formed a pattern. It turns out that the secret is really here!

However, just as the note left by the master said, colored water must be used to flow through the chain! These tiny scratches cannot be seen completely with the naked eye, and one would not think that they are a pattern.

What's even more wonderful is that I don't know what method Master used to retain the ink in these tiny scratches, but not in other places. I tried it with clean water and found that it could be easily washed away.

These traces made me pour ink again to make the pattern appear again.

There is a reason why I want to do this. I am afraid that these patterns will be left like this and be discovered by someone with intentions. As for who is the person with intentions, I don’t know, it’s just my intuition that I want to do this!

But being able to wash it off easily made me feel relieved.

All uncertain factors have been eliminated, and what is left is that we have to decipher these three patterns. To be honest, these three patterns make me very speechless, just because I have never seen such weird patterns, and you have to

It is intangible to think of any shape.

I wonder who has the ability to think of some messy dots and lines into a figure. These three patterns can only be called patterns. What do they specifically represent? We have a headache, but we can’t figure out why.

This reminds me of Master's words, whether you can understand this secret depends on your fate.

I clenched my fists and walked back and forth irritably in the room, it really depends on my fate!

In this way, the four of us stared blankly at the patterns on the chain for half an hour. No one offered any constructive suggestions. Brother Chengxin said decadently: "It seems that there is no fate. Come on, from now on."

Take your time and let me clean it."

I also sat on the sofa a little discouraged, because I couldn’t express any opinions on these three patterns. Ruyue comforted me softly and told me not to worry. I didn’t have this clue originally, and we didn’t have the same views on the future.

Are things arranged?

But after Ru Yue said these words, Qinhuai suddenly started shouting: "Brother Chengxin, brother Chengxin, don't wash, don't wash."

Brother Chengxin held the chain and looked at Qinhuai inexplicably, but Qinhuai was excitedly circling around the room, and then said to Ruyue: "Ruyue, what did you just say?"

"I told Third Brother not to worry." Ruyue looked at Qinhuai inexplicably.

Qinhuai scratched his hair anxiously and said, "It's not this, it's what I said just now."

"I said, don't you have any plans for the future?" Ruyue became even more confused!

"Hey, this is it!" Qinhuai suddenly became excited, and then asked me: "Chengyi, what are your future plans?"

I saw Qinhuai acting so strangely, and knew that this kid must know something, so I said in a low voice: "I'm very anxious, so please tell me the key points!"

"Okay, okay, let's talk about the important point!" Qinhuai clapped her hands fiercely, and then said: "What is the important point? It is that your future arrangements are to go sailing, and go to rivers and lakes. When I think of rivers, lakes and seas, I suddenly

A flash of inspiration occurred to me, maybe I have some impression."

"What?!" I stood up all of a sudden. Brother Chengxin was going to the bathroom to clean the three chains, but he came back quickly, placed the three chains on the table, and then pulled Qinhuai over.

The voice was a little urgent: "Speak quickly."

Qinhuai said: "I don't understand what these two are about, but I have some impressions of this one! You know my grandfather, I don't mean to show off, he is just a big military official.

When he has nothing to do, the old man likes to set up a sand table, conduct deductions, study maps, and think about military matters. He also often likes to pull me and tell me about strategic depth and other knowledge."

Brother Chengxin and I stared at Qinhuai without daring to express our anger, let alone urging him. Qinhuai didn't want to be verbose and said directly: "Because of this, I often see the old man's maps. You know the military

The map will not be open to the public, especially

My grandpa can see it at his level. In short, not to mention other things on those maps, many things are marked in great detail! When I first looked at the pattern on the chain, I thought it looked familiar, but I couldn’t remember it to death.

It looks familiar, so I didn’t dare to say anything.”

When Qinhuai said this, he glanced at me and Brother Chengxin sheepishly, and I took a deep breath and said: "I know, you have seen this pattern on a certain military map, right?

?”

"I haven't seen it before, but it is very similar to this small section of this pattern. By the way, there is a tributary of a big river on that map, and it looks like it!" Qinhuai said to us with certainty.
