Yu Yan stared blankly at the roll of things in his arms, and then looked down. There were no wounds on his body, and there was no drop of blood dripping. There was no bright knife inserted in his chest, but there was an extra roll in his arms.
Paper.
It seems to be a calligraphy and painting. The two ends of the scroll are made of precious white marble. In the twilight, at first glance, it is as formidable as the light of a knife.
Yu Yan held an unknown scroll in his arms and stood there for a long time. Suddenly he shook his head and smiled. Just for a moment, he thought that when he was really going to die, it might only be a few seconds, but it was as long as a lifetime. His life
All of his experiences were shown in front of his eyes like a movie, as if there was a machine that could record the merits and demerits of a person's life, allowing him to truly recall his life.
Although he only lived a short life of 24 years, he recalled it all over again. The impact and shock it had on him cannot be described in words.
Yu Yan was not an atheist before, but at this moment, after experiencing the two realms of life and death, he more truly felt the mystery and preciousness of life, and at the same time, he firmly believed that atheists deny the existence of gods.
I am seeking psychological comfort for my unscrupulous behavior. In fact, I am not denying God. I am denying the morality that makes people awe, the norms and conscience that must be observed.
The ancients respected heaven, earth and gods, and respected conscience and morality. That is why saints and famous figures were born in ancient times. Just imagine, if every official respected the gods and heaven and earth in his heart, had morals and not lost his conscience, how many people would ask for orders for the people.
A good official.
After returning home, Yu Yan opened the scroll and found a landscape painting. There were trees in the distant mountains, water near the mountains, and a family deep in the white clouds. He was full of pen and ink, and his brushwork was old-fashioned. It was a landscape painting with considerable brushwork.
Most landscape paintings are inscribed with poems, and this painting is the same. However, unlike other landscape paintings that are inscribed with landscape poems, the poem inscribed on the painting is a couplet of Spring Festival greetings for the New Year, and the festival number is Changchun.
The New Year's greetings and the festival's name are Changchun. It is said to be the earliest Spring Festival couplets in China. Of course, if the earliest Spring Festival couplets were inscribed in the wrong place, it would only add to the joke. The Spring Festival couplets were inscribed on landscape paintings, which is neither fish nor fowl, and more
There is a suspicion of being arty but not understanding the style.
However, there are inscriptions below the landscape painting: World in the Clouds, Universe in Quietness. These inscriptions are quite consistent with the artistic conception of the painting.
Weird thing, who would give him a landscape painting out of nowhere? And he couldn't see anything wrong with it. Yu Yan looked around the landscape painting, and there was nothing unusual except for two inscriptions, which made him confused for a moment.
Puzzled.
But he knew in his heart that this painting must have been specially given to him by someone who wanted to, and it must have a profound meaning. Thinking of the complicated situation in Antai, this painting was a riddle. Who wanted to convey something to him through this painting?
What does it mean? Unfortunately, the person who conveyed the message obviously did not have a tacit understanding with him, and he did not understand what the picture and the poem meant.
Just when I was confused, the phone rang suddenly.
Yu Yan looked at the number and saw that it was Ma Jiuying. He hurriedly picked it up and asked directly: "What happened?"
"Dong Yuanyuan is missing!" A familiar voice came from the phone. "The method is very professional. It seems that it has been planned for a long time."
Did Dong Yuanyuan disappear and run away? Or was he silenced? Yu Yan was greatly frightened. Of the two results, the former was not bad, at least it proved that Dong Yuanyuan was in control of his own destiny, but the latter was miserable.
If he is silenced, many accidents will occur, and it may even have an unexpected negative impact on the situation in Antai.
Yu Yan still forced himself to calm down, "When did it happen?"
"It's been two hours, and I couldn't get through your phone before."
After learning that Dong Yuanyuan was missing, Ma Jiuying-jeou hurriedly contacted Yu Yan. He always felt that something was fishy and maybe he could learn something about Yu Yan.
"Brother Yu, what do you think about Director Dong's disappearance?" Ma Jiuying asked seriously.
Yu Yan did not answer Ma Jiuying's question directly, but said meaningfully: "The Ma Bureau was ordered to be in crisis, and now it shoulders a heavy responsibility. The stability and unity of Antai in the future will fall on your shoulders."
"Brother Yu, you are laughing at me. The stability and unity of Antai can only be achieved under the leadership of Secretary Zhang. I am a soldier who charges into the battle. Wherever Secretary Zhang's hand points, I will hit it."
"What does the Horse Racing Bureau think about Director Dong's disappearance?" Yu Yan asked rhetorically.
"Without an investigation, you have no right to speak. Once the investigation results are available, let the facts speak for themselves." Ma Jiuying did not expect Yu Yan to question him again.
"It seems that Director Huang watches "Focus Interview" every day..." Yu Yan chuckled, "Yes, the facts must speak for themselves. But the facts are so easy to find out. I don't understand why Director Dong has to do it at this juncture.
I have disappeared, and I have to suspect that there is a giant hand behind the scenes that is secretly pushing everything."
"There are always giant hands behind the scenes, it just depends on how you look at the issue of the giant hands." Ma Jiuying was noncommittal about Yu Yan's words, "At the county level, the city level is the giant behind the scenes; at the city level, the provincial level is the giant behind the scenes, and so on.
By analogy, brother, even at the national level, the master of balance is the master behind the scenes. There are rules for the movement of heaven and earth, and everything has its own way of checks and balances. If it is said that the master is the master behind the scenes, we will always live in the rotation of heaven and earth.
Under the shadow of the giant hand of law."
After saying these words, Yueyan couldn't help but look at Ma Jiuying with admiration. He didn't expect Ma Jiuying to be able to tell such a great truth.
"I can't guess," Yu Yan said mid-sentence. He suddenly remembered something and woke up. "No, Dong Yuan didn't run away on his own. He must have been trapped. The painting, yes, the painting may have been passed on by him.
Signal."
Ma Jiuying was confused, "What painting? How did you think it was Dong Yuanyuan sending you a signal?"
"Guess!" Yu Yan looked very determined, "The horse racing team will come to my place immediately."
After hanging up the phone for about ten minutes, Ma Jiuying finally arrived, covered in dust.
When she heard about Yu Yan's "assassination", Ma Jiuying was so frightened that she even said she was lucky that if the other party held a dagger instead of a scroll, Yu Yan would have fallen into a pool of blood.
"You must pay attention to safety in the future and don't take it lightly." Ma Jiuying's concern was palpable. "You must not be careless. Dying before leaving the battlefield is a great misfortune in life."
"Haha, don't worry. Ma Ju, come and take a look at this painting." Yu Yan said and handed the painting to Ma Jiuying.
"The world in the clouds. The universe in silence..." Ma Jiuying figured out something under Yu Yan's guidance, "It seems to be a quiet place. The world in the clouds means..."
"There are people living in the mountains deep in the white clouds, and the white clouds pass through the mountains. Isn't it the world in the clouds?" Yu Yan realized the beauty of the sky garden on the top of Mount Tai, and blurted out, "The universe in silence is easier to understand, and it just echoes the world in the clouds.
The world, if I understand it correctly, should mean that there is a secluded cabin in the mountains..."
"A hut is just a hut. Why do we need to use the world and the universe to describe it? Can't we just write that I am in a secluded hut in the mountains?" Ma Jiuying was not only puzzled, but also very disapproving.
"If I could explain it clearly, people wouldn't use paintings to convey messages secretly." Yu Yan smiled and said, "Painting and words have the same pronunciation, and conveying paintings means conveying messages. If you can convey messages directly, it won't be Yunzhong."
The world and the universe have become peaceful, and using the word "world and universe" to describe it proves one point. The person who sent the message was placed under house arrest and trapped in a secluded room."
After listening to Yuyan's analysis, Ma Jiuying suddenly realized and asked: "Okay, even if your guess is correct, then why do you think it was Dong Yuanyuan who sent the message to you and not someone else?"
"In the current situation in Antai, Dong Yuanyuan is the key figure. Now that Dong Yuanyuan is missing again, who else can be there except him who is spreading the message in a mysterious way?" Yu Yan has now completely straightened out his thinking, but as for who is under house arrest or under house arrest?
He did not dare to jump to conclusions when it came to kidnapping Dong Yuanyuan, but what was certain was that the other party had a strong control over An Tai, otherwise he would not have captured Dong Yuanyuan quietly.
You know, Dong Yuanyuan has been arrested according to law. He can rescue people under the nose of the police. His method is not unskillful. Moreover, he can be controlled without alerting anyone, which means that the person who took action has either been
It is the person who can control Dong Yuanyuan, or the person Dong Yuanyuan trusts the most.
"What does it mean that Dong Yuanyuan sent a message to you?" Ma Jiuying now agreed with Yu Yan's speculation, but he still didn't understand why Dong Yuanyuan sent a message to Yu Yan instead of others.
"He wants me to rescue him." Yu Yan smiled confidently, "In An Tai, there are countless people who can understand his hint and rescue him. But the person who is most likely to personally rescue him
, only me."
Ma Jiuying nodded thoughtfully. Yu Yan thought about it and pressed the inscription "World in the clouds, universe in silence" with his hand. Sure enough, it broke with a poke, revealing a small note inside.
Ma Jiuying said "Hey" in surprise. Yu Yan took the note and looked at it. There were only a few crooked words on it: "Yu Yan, save me." The handwriting was like that written by a primary school student, and the strokes were extremely inconsistent, obviously written in a hurry.
If you write in a hurry, it should be because time is urgent and you are not allowed to write more.
However, there is no signature, and Yu Yan has never seen Dong Yuanyuan's handwriting, so there is no way to judge whether it is Dong Yuanyuan's own handwriting.
"On the mountains near Antai?" Ma Jiuying provided an idea and a breakthrough.
"There are many mountains around Antai." Yu Yan had actually thought of this a long time ago, "It's hard to determine which mountain it is on. This is a problem."
"What should we do?" Ma Jiuying asked, "Should we save Dong Yuanyuan?"
Yu Yan pondered for a moment: "If we don't save it, maybe someone wants us to rescue it deliberately, and then kill two birds with one stone..."
