Straightforward words, one stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The conjecture and fear caused by this sentence steamed in He Manzhou's heart, and there were questions about the previous head of the Bai family, as well as the questions accumulated by this big family that had lasted for a hundred years, and finally revealed a hidden corner, as if there was some kind of answer that was enough to shake something.

He Manzhou and Bai Yicong are the ones who break the game, and they are also the people in the game.

All the secrets revolve around the Treasure of the Relic King, which has been radicalized in their generation. Something that has lasted for thousands of years is about to be decided, and they have found all the way here, to the root of the secret burial, and to dig out the crux of the problem.

As for the last survivors?

No one knows the answer, and no one can know until the disaster strikes.

He Manzhou took a few seconds to stabilize her mind, there were too many questions she wanted to ask, but the words were choked in her throat for a while, but she didn't know where to start. A strong empathy was aroused at this time, and He Manzhou's first reaction was not to ask what kind of impact the so-called mastermind had on the whole thing, but to hold Bai Yicong's hand tightly.

"It's okay....... Bai Yicong, it doesn't matter, you still have me. ”

For his little girlfriend's clumsy comfort, Bai Yicong's lips smiled slightly.

Touching is never sweet words or exaggerated formalism, love does not have to do something great to prove, what really warms people's hearts is often subconsciously caring, is explicit preference, is absolute trust.

What could be more rare than unconditional trust?

From a certain point of view, He Manzhou is a salvation and a special case, and it is his most precious treasure.

Since she can deliver her love to the fullest extent without reservation, the exception is now mutual. Bai Yicong thought like this, took He Manzhou's hand with his fingers interlocked, turned his head and glanced at the girl deeply, as if he wanted to keep her look in his heart for a moment, and then he continued unhurriedly.

"Yes, the direction is wrong, from the time I suspected the cause of my father's death, it was wrong. ”

"What do you say?" He Manzhou asked.

"My father's illness came suddenly, from the detection of the disease to the final diagnosis, it was only a few months. It is difficult for a person who has always been in good health to suddenly get a strange disease that cannot be found out for a reason, and it is difficult not to think of the bad aspects. What's more, there is also uncorroborating evidence that verifies some of my guesses. So, I've always suspected that there's something else going on. ”

"That'...... Your father, what the hell is going on?"

"My father died suddenly in the Bai family's villa, and my brother and I slept early that day, and it was already late when we heard the movement at night. The result of the forensic examination was myocardial infarction, he seemed to have suffered a great fright, his eyes protruded, and his heart stopped beating, and he didn't know whether it was unintentional words or simple coincidence, his father had said a few nights before his death, and a large sea of mandala flowers often appeared in his dreams, and those flowers were like poisonous snakes that ate people, entangled him inch by inch. ”

It's a terrifying dream, and it sounds nerve-wracking.

As an adult who has been trained in the core values of socialism, he will not associate any problem that can be solved by science from the perspective of supernatural events. But now that the mystery of the ancient kingdom of Loulan has been investigated, is there still a so-called logical truth to speak of?

After a short silence, He Manzhou bit his lower lip and opened his mouth.

"It's ....... It can't be sneaky, or some kind of curse?"

It is more appropriate to say that this is not so much a curse as it is an intentional act of someone with a heart. ”

He Manzhou thought about it along with Bai Yicong, and immediately asked the key points.

"Who are you talking about, have you investigated?"

"I told you before that my second uncle Bai Mu, that is, the second master of the Bai family, has always had a bad relationship with my father. It is probably because the branch of the Bai family is strong enough to no longer be satisfied with the dominance of the family, and the situation that will inevitably arise will inevitably give birth to the idea of changing the dynasty and replacing it. I always suspected that my father's death was not a complete accident, but a calculating plan of the second uncle, but unfortunately, I followed Bai Mu's clue to investigate, but I never found conclusive evidence. ”

He Manzhou turned his head sideways and looked at Bai Yicong, silently waiting for his next words.

"At that time, my thought was that if my father died, there would be turmoil within the Bai family, and my brother would always be weak, so the biggest beneficiary would be Bai Mu. In addition, there is also the temptation of the treasure of the relict king, Bai Mu may be able to take advantage of the chaos in the Bai family to make some movements, and then replace them, in fact, he also planned it like this. Although it didn't work out in the end, it was enough to confirm my suspicions, and I locked him into suspicion for a long time. ”

"But...... Bai Mu is not the person behind the scenes, so you said that the initial direction was wrong?"

"Yes, it is obviously too subjective to identify someone as the culprit in the absence of evidence. Even when talking about his own family affairs, Bai Yicong still restrained his words, "It's not that I haven't doubted others, after all, the only beneficiary after my father's death is not Bai Mu alone, and the succession of the new king will inevitably accompany the old king down the altar, which is a well-known truth." The justifiable new king is not Bai Mu, but someone else, which in itself represents a possibility. It wasn't until Bai Yuqiu's death that this idea of mine was completely cut off. ”

Drops of water were constantly dripping from the top of the cave, echoing in the silence.

Through the vast wind, Bai Yicong's words no longer seemed real.

Many thoughts flashed through He Manzhou's mind, such as Bai Yicong's suspicion of Bai Yuqiu, and what was hidden behind the Bai family's secrets.

After a while, she finally considered her words and spoke: "However, Bai Yicong....... Since your brother has already passed away, why do you still say that he is a traitor to the Bai family, and the accident that happened to you and my father a year ago is still related to him, is this your speculation, or is there any evidence?"

The faint light of the flashlight flashed and flashed, and Bai Yicong replied lightly: "Do you remember the codex left by Professor He?"

"Of course. He Manzhou nodded hurriedly.

"In that case, Xiaozhou, how the "Ancient Picture of Shantao Words" was delivered to Professor He, you must also remember it very clearly. Bai Yicong's tone was very slow, and the sharpness in his eyes was covered by drooping eyelashes, "The seller of that ancient painting is an old man, over sixty years old, and his style of acting is quite strange. The old man insisted that the painting was a fake, and he wanted to sell the ancient painting to Professor He, and it was precisely because of this statement that Professor He's interest was aroused that what happened afterwards. ”

"Yes, my father's codex also deliberately recorded this, I still wanted to check the identity of this mysterious old man, and deliberately walked around the antique market on Biyun Street for several nights, but there was no clue, this person seemed to have evaporated from the world. ”

"It's originally a designed link, how can it leave a handle for others?"

He Manzhou chewed Bai Yicong's words carefully, and immediately found the key point.

"Listen to you, do you know the identity of this old man?"

"Many times the written record is different from the face-to-face description, the one-sided text description is perfected in detail, and many broken clues are enough to connect them, for example, just a few lines of text description, I can't deduce the identity of the old man, but when the details are confirmed by the parties, the truth will surface. ”

Facing He Manzhou's puzzled gaze, Bai Yi never told the past unhurriedly.

After Bai Yuqiu's death, Uncle Zhao has always blamed himself, he blamed the accident in the snow mountain on himself, and felt that his brother's death was due to his negligence. After dealing with his brother's funeral, Uncle Zhao resigned from his position as a housekeeper, and no one knew where he went. I have always felt a little indebted to Uncle Zhao, who worked hard for the Bai family for half his life, but in the end nothing was left behind. It wasn't until later that I realized that he left so suddenly, it was nothing more than a conspiracy, and he was afraid that someone else would catch him. ”

“....... What kind of conspiracy, does it have anything to do with my father?"

"Many years have passed, but the memory of the purpose does not change with the passage of time. When your father told me about the origin of the ancient paintings, I realized something, or the reason why I came to Wucheng in a hurry to investigate in the first place was because I found something in hindsight....... I'm not willing to confirm the leads. Just now I remembered all this, and I figured it out again, the old man who sent the "Ancient Map of Shantao Words" to your father was the housekeeper who left with my brother back then. It goes without saying who he represents behind him. ”

The topic has progressed to this extent, and there is no need to say much about the rest, He Manzhou can guess it.

Bai Yuqiu died many years ago, and the old man who followed him back then also disappeared mysteriously. Years later, when the mysterious old man reappeared, he brought a conspiracy that could affect the whole situation, and made the layout of the Wu clan for thousands of years completely planned.

So reverse reasoning, is there no hidden meaning to everything that happened to the Bai family back then?

Maybe Bai Mu is just a poor scapegoat, there is another mystery behind Bai Yan's death, the death that was named an accident, but some people whose lives have gone to a strange place can't wait anymore - Bai Yuqiu knows that his physical condition can't support Bai Yan to take the initiative to give up the position of the head of the family, he can't wait to become the head of the Bai family, and wants to find out the secret about the treasure of the relict king.

After everything planned is completed, the sinful person has already changed his identity and escaped from under the noses of everyone.

The so-called death and accident are just golden cicadas shedding their shells.

Sure enough, Bai Yicong's next words verified He Manzhou's guess.

"It was when Professor He talked to me about the ancient painting and confirmed the identity of the old man that an accident happened. Bai Yicong's tone paused slightly, and then the words changed suddenly, "Then there was the awakening of the gods, He Sheng disappeared because of this, and I also lost my memory, and the only impression of this cave was limited to the dream that was constantly recalled." It wasn't until now, when I came back to the cave, that I finally remembered the reason for investigating all of this and determined who the person behind it was. ”

........ Who is it.

It is Bai Yicong's biological brother, Bai Yuqiu.
