Chapter 149 The address hidden in the numbers
No. 66 Doubi Lane!
This is the text interpreted from the number 073216944459006600 written on the back of the painkiller box.
Obviously, it is an address.
A digital password like this is actually very simple, similar to the pattern of the password master. In the limited master, numbers are marked according to the number of text pages and positions. Four numbers correspond to one character position, 00 It's like spaces and delimiters.
"The book "Memory", written by Hermann Ebbinghaus, corresponds to my initial card [Ebbinghaus's Pen]. This is the clue, and there is more than one hidden clue related to it. "
On the last cycle day, the clue Luo Xi found pointed to the Dolphin Bookstore, and he obtained the card number 077 [Hradirim Cube] in the bookstore.
But this time, Xu Lin specially made a bowl of poached egg noodle soup, which led to another clue.
An address.
Interestingly, this address is very close to where Luo Xi lives now.
It only takes five minutes to walk.
After crossing a street, turn left at the intersection. If you keep going straight ahead, you can lead to a famous local food street. But that is not Luo Xi’s destination, but before that. Turn right at the fork, walk about 300 meters and enter the second alley passing by.
The entrance to the alley says ‘Dolphin Alley’.
This is an old city, so there are some newly built buildings, but many old houses are also preserved.
When you enter Doubi Alley, you will find that time seems to have gone back more than ten years. Many things that have disappeared from people’s memories can still be seen here, such as the small shop with a key, and there is a small shop in front of it. There is a roadside bicycle repair stall, but the master has also kept pace with the times and can also repair electric bicycles. However, there is no stall at this time. There is only a wooden sign saying "Repair Bicycles and Electric Bicycles" on the pole on the roadside.
Occasionally, middle-aged and elderly people would walk by carrying bags of clinker. There was also a breakfast shop at the intersection, which was the same as the one Luo Xi loved to go to, serving porridge, meatball soup, and pancakes with tofu.
I just feel that the sanitary conditions are a little worse than that one.
Naturally, there are not as many people eating here as there are there.
Going deep into this alley, you can discover the city's past. The sense of tearing through the ages becomes more and more obvious. However, if you are familiar with this place, you will not feel it at all.
They will only complain about why their old houses are not included in the scope of demolition and renovation.
"No. 66 Douwei Lane is here!"
Luo Xi looked up at the mottled house number.
Beyond the simple blue bricks, in addition to the house number, there is also a bigger sign.
XXX cultural relics protection unit.
Member of XXX Religious and Cultural Association.
There are similar words.
Because this is a temple.
‘Youzuo Temple’.
It is a very strange name. If you look at it from the name, it means that you are latent, the way is mysterious and unknown, and Zuo means blessing, which can also be explained.
Luo Xi went up a short flight of stone steps, ready to take a closer look. As soon as he reached the door, the red wooden door was suddenly opened a crack, and an old face looked at Luo Xi in the crack.
The next moment, the other party opened the door wide enough for one person to enter.
"Coming? Come in quickly!"
"." Luo Xi thought and stepped in.
The person who opened the door was an old monk. The clothes he wore had obviously been worn for a long time. They had been washed repeatedly and had faded. Fortunately, they were still clean.
"You came very early." The old monk did not look at Luo Xi when he spoke, but continued to do his business.
It was obvious that the other party was sweeping the floor.
It can be seen that this temple built in the city is actually very small, far less grand than people think of the temple. For example, in this courtyard, there is an incense burner in the front, and the Main Hall three to five meters behind, and there are also side halls on both sides. The temple just feels crowded and the scale needs to be smaller.
There are also buildings at the back, but the entire temple does not occupy a large area. If you look carefully, in addition to the ancient building type main hall, there is also a wooden tower at the back.
Luo Xi did not answer. He did not know this old monk.
"Wait a moment, it's not time yet." Although the old monk was a bit hunched and old, he was very agile in his work.
Next, Luo Xi watched the old monk sweep the floor and wipe the tables and chairs. The temple was quiet, and it seemed that the old monk was the only one there, so even with Luo Xi in the temple, it seemed quiet.
A few minutes later, the old monk suddenly turned around, ran to the door quickly, opened the door sideways, and said to the outside: "Here? Come in quickly!"
Then the width was also widened to allow only one person to enter, and then, a person squeezed in.
The other party probably didn’t expect there to be anyone else here besides the old monk, so he was stunned for a moment.
Then he muttered: "Why is there someone earlier than me today?"
The other person is a middle-aged man, not tall, carrying a backpack, and he looks smiling and friendly.
After coming in, he nodded at Luo Xi.
"Wait a moment, it's not time yet." What the old monk said was exactly the same as what he had just said to Luo Xi.
Next, the old monk was still busy.
But what was different from before was that there were two people looking at him in the yard. Sometimes, the two people would also look at each other.
"Brother, it looks strange to me. Is this your first time here?" The middle-aged man was the first to break the silence.
"So, brother, do you come here often?" Luo Xi also asked with a smile.
"No, I will only come today." The middle-aged man's words were obviously mysterious. It sounded like he was only coming for one day, but the actual implication was that he was coming every day.
“That’s great!” Luo Xi’s smile became even brighter, and he leaned over: “It’s indeed my first time here, and I’m not familiar with many things.”
"You're here if you don't know me well? You can leave while there is still time. This place is not suitable for you." The middle-aged man said with a serious look on his face: "It's very dangerous."
Persuading you to quit?
What is the purpose?
Really kind, or are you afraid that someone will compete with him for benefits? Or did you say that on purpose to trick yourself into staying?
Both are possible.
Luo Xixin said that this person is quite interesting. His shrewdness is almost written on his face, and every word he speaks has subtext. The most skillful thing is that although the content of what he said is very clear and directional, it is actually ambiguous. No matter how you understand it.
But this kind of trick can fool others, but doing this kind of cleverness in front of Luo Xi is just looking for death.
"I live nearby. There is a breakfast shop in Douwei Alley that serves a very good breakfast. After breakfast, I come in for a walk, burn incense and worship Buddha."
Luo Xi changed directly. channel.
The middle-aged man opposite was stunned for five seconds.
He looked Luo Xi up and down again, and then muttered: "As the saying goes, listen to others and eat enough. This is an advanced level scene. If you don't get a professional card, coming here is equivalent to dying. It's a complete waste of time. , Why bother? I’m trying to persuade you, but forget it if you don’t listen.”
The middle-aged man waved his hand indifferently.
"Of course, it may be that I'm just worrying. You are a powerful senior. If you are very confident, you can pretend that I didn't say what I said before." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he looked towards the other side. The old monk looked at him with bored eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Luo Xi did not continue to answer the conversation.
The two of them still watched quietly as the old monk placed a wooden table at the door, then placed a box with 'merit' written on it next to it, took a stool, and placed a bamboo tube on the table. and wooden picks.
There are also incense used when worshiping Buddha, neatly placed in a long box.
Then he opened the temple door wide, sat down on a wooden stool with a handwritten Buddhist scripture, crossed his legs, and looked up at Luo Xi and the middle-aged man.
"We are on a first-come, first-served basis. Young man, you are the first to come. This incense stick will sign you up."
After the old monk finished speaking, he could clearly feel the incense next to him. Middle-aged people are in a bad mood.
Now Luo Xi understood why the other party said those words before.
In the final analysis, the other party really wants him to leave.
The other party came so early just for the incense stick and the lotus stick.
There is no other way, just like Luo Xi said, his home is very close to here, you can walk there in five minutes.
Now Luo Xi can naturally see that this place is a checkpoint scene, and it must have existed for a long time. In the past, he left a password to remind him to come here, which must have his purpose.
