Chapter 30: Uncle Yuan's Purpose
The car stopped in front of a small German hotel, and it was already past two o'clock in the morning when they arrived, and all four of them were so sleepy that they fell asleep in bed almost as soon as they arrived at the hotel.
I was awakened by the cold wind blowing in from the window, and I got up and closed the window with my eyes squinted, and wanted to sleep a little longer, when I looked back and saw three people sitting in the room staring at me. Depend on! Can I still be a little a**?!
"Awake?" Uncle Yuan asked me.
I nodded, remembering what happened last night, it was not good to have a seizure, and it was early in the morning to open my window and sit in my room and stare at me, what do you want to do?
Almost awakened by the three men, I rubbed my messy hair and sat down across from them, waiting for their next steps.
The four of them were silent for a while, and no one spoke, and my heart was on fire, and I woke up early in the morning, and broke into my room without saying a word, what is this called? I stood up, ignored them, and went to wash up first.
When I came back, I found that breakfast was set on the table, it was for four people, and it hadn't been touched: "If you want something, eat something first." ”
I looked at their faces, and with no objections, I sat down first.
I suddenly realized that something was wrong, it was Abang who gave them a message, but what about Abang? Wouldn't you still be in the research institute? Immediately I asked them about Abang.
"That kid you say?" Uncle Yuan put down the bread in his hand and took a sip of water, "We were originally divided into two ways, Baili went to find you, and Xiaofei and I went to save Abang." As a result, it didn't matter if the kid didn't appreciate it, and almost exposed us. ”
I was slightly stunned, looking at Gu Fei's expression, Uncle Yuan didn't lie, this is strange, Abang reported to them in advance, just to come to Germany, if something happens to get out, now at this juncture, not to mention a human life, and his freedom is restricted, he refuses to come out, what is the reason?
I took a few bites of the sandwich in my hand, glanced at the three of them again, and they all peeked at me inexplicably, what? Is it blooming on my face or what?
"You can't be looking for me just to save me, are you?"
I didn't understand what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd, so I simply asked.
Gu Fei glanced at Bai Liyou and saw that he was just feeding Ah You, so he said to me, "We are going to go to Lishan again." After a pause, Uncle Yuan answered: "Boy, do you want to come with us?" ”
I drank the milk and didn't speak, wondering if they had to take me with me, or if they just had to take it with me. Even Bai Liyou looked at me, as if he was waiting for my answer, I remembered that in the underground palace, Bai Liyou asked me to go to the right passage alone, and took me to the Lishan Underground Palace, I am afraid that Bai Liyou meant.
I cleared my throat, and that's easy, if I have to, then I'll just put on a show, pretend to be an uncle, and ask something clear: "It's okay to go, but I have a few things to figure out." ”
Gu Fei and Uncle Yuan glanced at each other, but Bai Liyou still looked like he didn't care about himself.
"First of all, what is the purpose of your trip to Lishan?"
This Uncle Yuan, first asked Gu Fei to come to Jiangsu to buy that painting; When the painting is gone, let Gu Fei continue to follow me into the underground palace, leaving marks along the way to open the way for them; Now he finally escaped from the underground palace, and he did not hesitate to risk his life to enter the Lishan underground palace again. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and preferring to go to the tiger mountains, there is a purpose, who would joke with their lives?
As soon as this question was asked, Uncle Yuan's expression was a little incredulous, as if I was a fool sitting across from him: "What? No one ever told you about what's inside? ”
I shook my head, feeling like a fool.
"You don't know anything, you dare to go to that place?" He took a sip of water, shook his head, and laughed, "I really don't know whether to say that you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or if you are ignorant and cute." ”
I'm not happy about this, it's not like I haven't asked anyone, either I don't say anything, or I don't understand the situation like me, how can I blame it?
Gu Fei didn't look at me, buried his head in nibbling on the sandwich, I pushed him, don't pretend not to hear. See? Ask what do you know, you don't sue me, can you do it now? Taken for an idiot by your uncle.
Uncle Yuan lit a cigarette and began to tell the truth about what he had learned.
Uncle Yuan's original surname is Li, and it is said that it is a bloodline that has existed since the Warring States period. More than 300 years B.C., the major princes have usurped the king, the authority of the king of Zhou was further damaged, after countless annexation wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, the strong survived and the weak died, and there was the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" when it came to the Warring States. Uncle Yuan's ancestor did not belong to one of the Seven Heroes, but served in a small country that was almost forgotten. Although the country is small, the leader is still called the king, called Shuliang Wang, and the country is called Qu.
Although this country is a small country, it is not without reason that it can survive in the cracks. As the saying goes: the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, this is the old rule since ancient times, although the country is located in a remote area, the army is not strong, but fortunately there are jade mines, in the material and financial resources even better than the seven heroes at that time.
At that time, Uncle Yuan's ancestor, Li Gong, was a close confidant of King Shuliang. It is rumored that when King Shuliang's concubine gave birth, the wind and clouds were great, the sun and the moon were reversed, which caused people to panic up and down.
King Shuliang immediately ordered Li Gong to secretly dispose of the fetus, and this word reached the ears of the beloved concubine of King Shuliang, and he begged for Li Gong, after all, it was a child born in October of his own pregnancy, how could he bear to watch him be killed?
Li Gong is also a benevolent person, and when he relented, he agreed to come down and raise the fetus secretly at home.
In a few years, this child has grown up very fast, and his appearance has become more and more demonic, and his description is weird, and no one dares to look at him directly. I thought it would be enough to raise it like this, but it was just that there was one more mouth in the family to eat, but unexpectedly, the matter was revealed, and it was discovered by King Shuliang, who committed the crime of bullying, and King Shuliang immediately ordered to kill the Li family, and the Li family had dozens of mouths, and one of them survived and escaped the catastrophe.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but half a year later, King Shuliang couldn't sleep at night, and often saw unjust ghosts asking for his life, and then the hexagram master found a "monster" under the old house of the Li family, asserting that it was the trouble caused by this, so he ordered someone to make a Pisces exquisite box, put it in it, and seal it in the underground palace.
The diviner did find the right thing, but it was too late, the state affairs of the Qu State had declined, and within a year, it was annexed by its neighbors, and there was no one left in history.
And the Pisces exquisite box has since become the Li family's generations to look for something, I heard that when the hexagram master sealed, the souls of dozens of people in the Li family were also sealed in it, and what the "monster" in it is, no one knows, only know that although this thing is unknown, it must be found.
Sealing the soul sounds too mysterious to me, but we are also atheists who have accepted Marxist materialist ideas, how can we really believe that there are gods and ghosts? Isn't this self-scare?
Uncle Yuan spoke a little dryly, and drank saliva, I saw that Gu Fei and Bai Liyou didn't mean to complain about this story, so they didn't say anything, for the time being, when this story is true, then Uncle Yuan and Gu Fei's purpose is the "monster" in the Pisces Exquisite Box. I remembered the sketch of the Pisces jade box that I got at the institute a few days ago, could it be the same?
"So, you entered the dungeon for that Pisces exquisite box?" The two of them nodded, and I glared at Gu Fei, "Then why didn't you say it when I asked you?" ”
He was louder than me, as if he had been wronged: "How did I know that you also had something to do with that ghost place?" ”
I thought to myself, how did he know that I had something to do with the Lishan Underground Palace, and when he caught a glimpse of Bai Liyou, he understood that Bai Liyou's special care for me in the Underground Palace illustrated this problem.
In this way, Wu Laosi went for the dagger in my hand, and Uncle Yuan and Gu Fei went for the Pisces Linglong box that they hadn't seen yet, what about Bailiyou? What is his purpose? I remember that when Gu Fei asked, he said that it was waiting for someone.
"That'...... Second question. I glanced at Bai Liyou and asked carefully, "Big brother, what is your origin?" ”
As soon as I asked what I said, Uncle Yuan and Gu Fei also cheered up, and they seemed to be particularly interested in it.
