Chapter 60: Strange Things

Ye Xun asked me to find clues in the "Vientiane Sutra", but I held my head and thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't remember anything.

Ye Xun patted me on the shoulder and said, "That's it, you go to the hospital to check it out first, see if you can find anything, and then slowly think of a way." ”

Now, I can only try my luck at the hospital. I can't remember how many tests I had before the doctor took the test and told me, "There is nothing wrong with your brain, and in view of your current condition, I recommend that you go to the psychiatric clinic for a check-up." ”

Of course, I don't go to a psychiatrist, I know very well that my situation is very mentally ill, and my dad doesn't have much cash left me, so I don't have to waste it on those tests.

When I came out of the hospital to find Ye Xun, he took a tablet computer that I didn't know where to get and said to me: "When you were seeing a doctor, I had been checking the information of the Golden Mask, and all the information that could be found on the Internet was here. ”

Ye Xun flipped the tablet and said, "At present, there are not many unearthed golden masks. In addition to the Egyptian, Peruvian, Indian, and Mayan gold masks, there are four known gold masks in China. The first Sanxingdui mask is very similar to the one we saw in the Lonely Mountain Cave. ”

After Ye Xun sent the picture to me, I couldn't help but shake my head: "The two masks are indeed very similar, but Sanxingdui is protected by the state, not to mention that we can't sneak in, even if we do, it's a dead end, don't think about it here." ”

Ye Xun found a picture again and said: "At this time, the Tibetan Zhangxiong Golden Mask, however, the place of origin is the Peloponnese Peninsula in Greece. ”

"How did the Tibetan Zhang-zhung mask go to Greece?" I couldn't help but say, "Is this reliable?"

Ye Xun frowned and said, "I don't know, that's what the information on the Internet says." Shall we try our luck in Tibet?"

"No need. I shook my head and said, "There is only Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet now, and we can't find any clues when we go." Anything else?"

"There is also a golden mask unearthed from the tomb of Zhaosu Poma in Lizhou, Xinjiang. When Ye Xun handed over the picture, I shook my head again: "It's not good here, let's not talk about the golden mask, over there in Xinjiang, we don't understand the language, and it is easy to provoke right and wrong if we go to inquire about the golden mask rashly, is there anything else?"

"Finally, it's the golden mask of the Khitan princess. Ye Xun said: "I don't think there is much hope here." ”

"No!" I said, taking my tablet, "As far as I know, tree burials are popular in Khitan. That is, after a person dies, the corpse is placed on a tree and the corpse is allowed to dry naturally, and after the corpse is buried, the corpse is put on a mask to restore their appearance before death. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Ye Xun looked at me and said, "What do you want to say?"

I pointed to the computer and said, "According to the information, the title of the Khitan princess is Princess Chen Guo, and her status is extremely noble. If, according to the custom of tree burial, it is understandable to put a golden mask on her. But why didn't there be any golden masks in the tombs of the other Khitan royal families?

Ye Xun's eyes lit up: "You mean, what secret is hidden in Princess Chen's golden mask?"

"Yes!" I nodded: "The Liao State established by the Khitan is located in the grassland, and the capital of the country is in Inner Mongolia. Shamanism, which has always been practiced in the steppe region, is the religion closest to witchcraft. ”、

"If the Golden Mask is really related to some kind of shamanic ritual, maybe we can find clues, and don't forget, shamanism is a religion that died out after the founding of the country. We're going to have to try our luck,"

Ye Xun pondered for a while before saying, "I have no objection to going to Inner Mongolia." But wouldn't it be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack if we rushed over so hastily?"

"It's better to go over and talk about it first than to wait here and pat your head and think about it. By the way, how can we go to Inner Mongolia if we don't have ID cards?"

Ye Xun said: "You can take the car and reverse it one by one." You can also walk over, I suggest, you go to Inner Mongolia. At least I have time to practice "Tiger King Decision" on the road, we didn't go to Inner Mongolia to send us to death, if there is any danger, I don't have time to save you all the time. ”

I almost didn't choke to death by Ye Xun, but I have to admit that he was telling the truth. Fortunately, Liaoning is not too far from Inner Mongolia, and it won't take me and a half years to walk over with Ye Xun's footpower.

It wasn't until Ye Xun and I hit the road that I realized that I was thinking things too simply.

Ye Xun, that guy has an almost demonic demand for cultivation, and as soon as he enters the training state, he is extremely excited, and he simply doesn't treat me as a human being in the whole process.

Since he trained me to practice "Tiger King Decision", my injuries have not healed, and more than half of them were still beaten by him, even if I pretended to be unconscious, he could still splash me up with water to continue training.

At that time, I had only one thought in my heart, to practice "Tiger King Decision" as soon as possible to kill Ye Xun's pervert, but the more I practiced, the more I didn't dare to take Ye Xun's tricks.

Just like Ye Xun said, "Tiger King Decision" is simply something tailor-made for me, and it is also the most violent martial arts I have ever seen. "Tiger King Decision" pays the most attention to momentum, the tiger roars between shots, who else is I, and the enemy is stressed to break the force without flinching. Whether it is bare-handed or hand-held blades, they all pay attention to killing with one blow, and never drag mud and water. If I miss, maybe I can really beat Ye Xun to death.

However, Ye Xun never worried about this, and still practiced with me as if he didn't want to die, when I refused to start, he beat me like crazy, and had to force me to the point where I had to shoot with all my strength, until I punched Ye Xun and vomited blood, and he didn't stop.

That time, I was almost scared to death by Ye Xun, that guy was punched by me with all my strength and flew more than two meters away, he smiled at me while vomiting blood, and said that the two months of work were finally not in vain, and finally forced out a foreign master.

At that time, I almost didn't shed tears.

I don't know if it's because I took the secret medicine of the witch clan, the speed of recovery from the injury is amazing, even if Ye Xun has a blue nose and swollen face, he won't be able to see any traces of being beaten after a day or two.

However, Ye Xun couldn't do it, he asked me to break two ribs with one punch, and I had to find a place to recuperate. I finally took Ye to find a fellow's house and promised to help others, so his family could keep us.

I still remember that the family's surname is Liu, only the old couple is guarding a dozen cows to live, at first Uncle Liu also took in our aunt to a few times, saying that the two of us are unknown, in case it is a bad person, it is equivalent to luring a wolf into the house.

When the two of them were talking, I could hear it clearly in the next room, but I couldn't go out to explain, after all, the origin of Ye Xun and I was really unclear, so I could only pretend that I hadn't heard anything, and I was cheeky and in someone's house.

For the first few days, Uncle Liu slept with a knife on his pillow, and after a few days, the old couple treated me and Ye Xun as nephews, and talked to me several times, saying that they wanted to recognize the two of us as godsons and let us stay to inherit his family's ranch.

If I hadn't been in trouble, maybe I could have stayed, but at that time, we could only act as if we didn't understand anything.

Ye Xun's injuries are getting better day by day, and we also know that when they are about to be separated from their uncle and aunt, they seem mysterious and secretive, and they carry us behind our backs in everything.

Originally, Uncle Liu would play chess with me after dinner, and my aunt would sit on the side and play with us. However, in those days, Uncle Liu not only stopped eating with us, but also refused to show up all day long.

When the aunt arrived at night, she hurried back to the house, and she didn't know what she was talking about all night.

Every time I pass by my aunt's door, I can smell the smell of incense in the house, like someone lighting incense in the house.

The strangest thing is that the aunt also went out to hire a butcher, saying that she wanted to kill the cow.

That's when I finally felt that something was wrong.

Uncle Liu's children are not by their side all the year round, and they have always raised cattle as children, and whoever asks them to buy cattle can be anxious, let alone kill cattle.

That morning, the aunt went out crying, cried and hired a butcher, made an appointment to kill the cow and cried to send the people away.

The aunt stayed on the edge of the cowshed for a whole afternoon, and then returned to the house with a sigh.

I kept watch at their door until the evening, only to hear the chattering voice of the aunt coming from the house, I listened to the door for a long time and didn't hear what she was saying, so I simply raised my hand and knocked on the door a few times: "Auntie, auntie, have you slept?"

I knocked for a while before Aunt Liu responded, "I'm asleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

I knocked on the door a few times in a row: "Auntie, Ye Xun vomited blood, you can help call a car!"

"What? Xunzi, vomiting blood. Aunt Liu suddenly panicked and ran to the door. As soon as she opened the door, a thick smoke with the smell of incense poured out of the house, and Aunt Liu was like a ghost standing in the middle of the fireworks, with an old face white and blue. The few steps just now seemed to drain Aunt Liu's whole body strength, she trembled and grabbed the doorknob, half leaned on the door before barely standing up, and said weakly: "What's wrong with Xunzi......?"

"I'm fine!" Ye Xun flashed around Aunt Liu's body, moved her aside, and I stepped into the room.

Uncle Liu was wearing a blue cloth dress, lying motionless on the kang, with an incense burner under his feet and still smoking smoke, if it weren't for my good eyesight, maybe I wouldn't be able to see a person lying on the kang.

I walked to the edge of the kang in a few steps and tried to push Uncle Liu twice: "Uncle, uncle, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't move him, don't move him!" Aunt Liu cried and knelt on the ground: "Don't move him! You wake him up, the old man is finished!"
