Heizi smiled and said, "Uncle Monkey, don't worry, I'm so thick and stocky, unless the Yangtze River doesn't want to wash me away."

Kuroko has too many problems, plus he has the problem of talking big. But this time, the big words are also three points reliable, although the sunspot doesn't look so fat, but the weight is not small, a full one hundred and sixteen. But he stood there about the same size as me, but weighed more than thirty pounds more than me. People say it's called big bones.

We continued down the dark passage in the middle of the cave. I don't know how long we walked, we heard the sound of ticking water, and not only that, but also the sound of the water flowing.

Kuroko was naturally very happy to hear this voice, but he still looked a little incredulous, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Ah Ming, did you hear the sound of water"?

At this time, I also became excited because I heard the sound of water, and I didn't know how to answer Kuroko, so I could only nod slightly and whisper in agreement.

I didn't expect it to be more effective than the charge during the Anti-Japanese War, and the sunspot ran towards the sound of the water, shouting and threatening to take a cold shower as he ran.

Uncle Monkey didn't shout at him in the face of Kuroko's move, which made me very strange, but if you think about it carefully, you can figure it out, and if you can encounter such a great thing as a water source, Uncle Monkey will be peaceful once in a while.

The three of us also began to trot, closely following Kuroko. What we heard was not a hallucination, there was a stream of water in the recess ahead, but it was not a dark river, it flowed out of the crevice in the southwest corner of the cave, and then it flowed to the northeast corner, which was very dark, and it was impossible to see where it was going, even by the light of a flashlight.

It doesn't matter where it goes, it's good to have water. Kuroko and I squatted next to the stream of water, splashing water on our faces and bodies like crazy, and my skin, which had been sunburned without a little moisture, immediately became wet the moment it touched the water. It's a refreshing feeling.

On the side, Kuroko was lying next to the water, sticking his head on the water and drinking wildly, his appearance was somewhat similar to that of a dog.

After a lot of drinking, we began to hold the kettle and various water containers to start filling water, we can last for nearly half a month to replenish the water, I think this time we can reach the ancient city of Loulan safely without dying of thirst.

As soon as I filled the kettle, I lifted myself up when I noticed the source of the southwest corner flowing out of the crack, which seemed to be a natural formation no matter how I looked at it, and although I don't know why it was formed, I should be thankful, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid we would have really died of thirst.

"Uncle Monkey, is this water flowing out of the cracks a dark river of flow?" I turned my head to look at Uncle Monkey behind me.

Uncle Monkey was reminded by me, so he looked at the gap with the help of the light of the flashlight, and then said, "I think the flow of the dark river should be in that direction, and this flow should be separated by the flow of the dark river, but it is really thanks to this diverted water flow."

"No matter what, Uncle Monkey, with our persistence and perseverance, aren't we still saved!" Kuroko was playing with the water, and he showed a bright smile, "This feels so good."

Xiao Yao pointed to the other side of the river and shouted, "Uncle Monkey, you see there seems to be something there."

Hearing Xiao Yao say this, I hurriedly looked at the other side of the river, the other side of the river was very dark, and I could only faintly see something that shimmered, as if it was fluorescent.

Uncle Monkey walked to the edge of the river with a flashlight and looked at the opposite side, and with the help of the light of the flashlight, we could see the situation on the other side clearly. On the opposite side of the river there was a jack gate, and the gate was not known to be supported by someone with a few large stones at the bottom, which revealed a gap more than half a meter high, although only half a meter, but enough for an adult to get through the gap. It seems that Master Wolf and Ah San should be inside.

Uncle Monkey took the lead in wading through the water with a flashlight and walked towards the jack gate. We all followed Uncle Monkey, wading through the water one after another.

When we came to the front of the jack gate, we saw clearly that there was also a bat pattern carved on the jack gate, which was different from the bat pattern on the outside gate, the first point was that the bat's ears were ground into powder with fluorite, and then painted.

And the faintly glowing phosphor thing we just saw in the dark was this fluorite powder.

And the second point is that there is a line of ancient characters engraved on the right side of the bat. Uncle Monkey held a flashlight in his right hand, stroked the line of ancient characters with his left hand, and then said slowly, "This is the Temple of Death, enter this door, and there will be no return."

"Monkey ..... Uncle Monkey... What does this phrase mean"? I asked, looking at his serious expression.

Uncle Monkey slowly got up and said, "The meaning is very simple, it is to tell the visitor that entering this door is entering the Temple of Death, and it is impossible to go out again."

Kuroko said in surprise, "Ah! If you are so scared, do we still want to go in?"

Did I hit Kuroko's body with my body, and then sneered and said, "What, you're scared"?

"Who's afraid"! Kuroko overreacted a little and said, "I'm just a little worried."

"Okay, don't argue, you two stinky boys, if you don't want to go in, you can wait for me here." After saying that, Uncle Monkey got into the gap below, without waiting for the two of us to argue.

The monkey's anxious behavior made me even more convinced that Uncle Monkey must be careful of the wolf master inside, which is not surprising, because according to the time, the wolf master has indeed been in for a little time, and he has not come out yet, either there is a lot of space inside, or he has died inside.

When I reacted, Xiao Yao also got in, I took a deep breath, reached out and patted Kuroko's shoulder, "Okay, let's go in too."

Heizi and I are neither as bold as Uncle Monkey, nor as calm as Xiao Yao, just like two wastes, but Uncle Monkey is still willing to take the two of us with him, and taught us a lot of knowledge, although sometimes very much, but we are still very grateful to him. For Kuroko and me, the world behind this jack gate is a place where the two of us are still trembling all the way, what god of death, what magical flute. Do these things that are both real and legendary really exist behind this floodgate?

Behind the jack gate was a brand new stone tunnel, and the stone tunnel was much brighter than the outside of the gate, and there was a dark green light on the stone walls above and around the stone chamber, and it was this light that made the whole stone tunnel brighter. Uncle Monkey told us that he had seen this phenomenon in an ancient tomb in the Kingdom of Jin, which was caused by adding fluorite to the stone wall or the stone wall of the stone chamber. It's just that fluorite was extremely precious in ancient times, and it was already a wealthy dignitary or a royal family member to be able to integrate hundreds of fluorite into the tomb, and now a person who came to Cheshi Duwei to make a living was able to use fluorite to pave the way, which shows that he used the god of death to collect a lot of treasures.

Uncle Monkey's words reminded me of life in ancient times, ancient times and modern times are completely hell and heaven, why do you say that? Because in ancient times, human beings were the least valuable, unless you were born to a prince and noble, a high-ranking official and a noble family can still live a better life, if you are reincarnated into a common person or a poor family, then your life will be very cruel, either those rich people buy you away with a few pennies, or you stay on the street and beg for food. Breaking a jade artifact from a rich family will cost you your life. It was a brutal scene.

The faint green light emitted from the surrounding stone walls, coupled with the whirring sound of the wind blowing in from the entrance, was really scary.

We walked slowly along the stone path to the depths of the tomb, and after walking far we came to a wide place, which was not a stone burial chamber, but could only be said to be inserted in the middle of the stone path. Standing at the entrance, we can see the stone path at the other end.

Although this place is wide, it is a little scary, because in the center of the part stands seven large tripods, and these seven tripods are arranged in such a way that six tripods form a circle, and a square tripod stands in the center of the circle.

We slowly approached the seven tripods to see what they were. It was only when we walked into it that we found out. Whether it is the six round tripods on the periphery or the square tripod in the center, the middle is filled with nearly half of the sand.

I muttered in my heart, it seems that this should be a place of sacrifice, but it stands to reason that there should be a corpse or a sacrificial thing in it, how can it be sand.

The square tripod in the center was not only filled with sand, but also some unburned incense roots were inserted into the sand. I counted carefully, and it was four.

I hadn't seen this phenomenon in ancient books, so I was very puzzled, so I hurriedly asked Uncle Monkey next to me for help, "Uncle Monkey, what kind of sacrificial method is this, why have I never seen it?"

Uncle Monkey reached out and grabbed some of the sand in Fang Ding, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it. Out of curiosity, I grabbed a handful of sand and smelled it, but I didn't smell anything other than a faint stench.

"Seven tripod sacrifices, fallen leaves return to the roots". Uncle Monkey put the sand back into Fang Ding, clapped his palms and said.

I asked, "Uncle Monkey, what is the Seven Tripod Sacrifice"?

"Ah Ming, you are so stupid, the so-called Seven Tripod Sacrifice must be put in seven big tripods to sacrifice the dead, I understand such a simple reason, why don't you understand after reading so many ancient books?" Kuroko said with a sense of mockery.

I glanced at him, "I want you to take care of it."

"Although Kuroko didn't say everything right this time, he was also right by one-fifth." Uncle Monkey said, "The meaning of the Seven Tripod Sacrifice is indeed to place these seven tripods again to sacrifice the dead, and there are indeed sacrificial things in these seven tripods, but you can't see it."

I hurriedly sniffed and asked, "Uncle Monkey, is it possible that there are seven people to sacrifice?"

"The sacrificial thing is a man, but not seven but one". Uncle Monkey replied.

Uncle Monkey's answer completely confused me and Kuroko, how could the Seven Sacrificial Tripods use one person as a sacrifice.

Uncle Monkey said, "From birth to old age, we experience about the same as plants, germinating, growing, and dying. This is especially true in ancient times, when they often compared people to trees, from teething to growth, to scattering leaves, and finally to returning to their roots. The Seven Tripod Sacrifice is the meaning of taking the fallen leaves and returning to the roots. Man is divided into seven, the outer is five, the inner is two, the outer body is outside, the left arm, the right arm, the left leg, the right leg, these five parts are the support of our human being, like the trunk and branches of a big tree. It houses the heart and brain, and the function of the heart is to provide pressure and move blood to all parts of the body. The brain transmits the information collected by the sensory organs such as sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, temperature, pain, etc. to the brain through nerves and integrates them to obtain consciousness and store useful information in memory. It's like the roots of a tree. Both are indispensable. The so-called Seven Tripod Sacrifice, the root of the fallen leaves is to put these seven parts of the human body into the Seven Tripods and then bury them with soil, the outer round tripod left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, and brain, and the middle of the square tripod heart".

I've heard of all kinds of strange sacrifices, but I've never heard of such cruel and strange sacrifices, which are both brain-digging and heart-digging in modern times, and they are just organ reselling tissues, and burying these in the soil, I really don't know how they can do it.

It's the most bizarre sacrifice, but it's not the most brutal sacrifice I've ever heard.

I have seen a sacrificial method in the Humen Chronicles, that is, a long time ago, the ancient book records that when Uncle Monkey was young and the little sixth son of the second sect of Humen dug a Xiongnu tomb in Inner Mongolia, there is a sacrificial altar in the ancient tomb, there is a human white bone on the altar, very intact was placed on it, at first I thought it was a white bone after many years after the sacrifice of the dead.

But this is not the case, this method of sacrifice is to kill the living, disembowelment and take out all the contents of the body, and then dig up all the flesh on the body, leaving only the bones washed and placed on it, the book records that the reason why the Huns did this seems to be to sacrifice to the souls who eat human bones.

No matter who he was dedicated to, I couldn't stand that kind of technique alone, and the scene of digging human flesh in my mind for the past few days has been in my mind, and I was really panicked.

I looked at the sand in the square ding, and I didn't know why I could see that my heart was still shaking in the sand, and I shivered, and slowly retreated to the side of the sunspot.

At this time, Uncle Monkey continued, "Of course, not only that, there are four unburned Buddha incense sticks in Fang Ding, which is also exquisite, one worships the gods in the sky, the second worships the underground demon spirits, the third worships the living beings in the world, and the fourth worships the dead in the tomb."

As soon as Uncle Monkey's words fell, Kuroko continued, "It seems that this bat uncle is still afraid that he will be punished after he has done so many bad things, so he worships gods and ghosts here, which is really interesting."

Uncle Monkey looked at the stone road in front of him and said, "Anyway, we have to hurry, if it gets dark, I'm afraid we will be in trouble."

I looked at my watch, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it had been nearly an hour since we entered the twilight room, and it would be dark in another hour, and even if there was nothing unclean in the tomb by then, the atmosphere alone would scare people half to death.

Lincoln replied, "Of course, it was the deceased seeking suicide, but there was another surprise behind it."

"What the hell is going on with Lincoln"? Li Hongliang asked very suspiciously.

Lincoln replied solemnly, "Although the deceased really rushed to the middle of the road at that time, the murderer who sent the deceased to the Yellow Springs Road was you, Mr. Fan Wen." After Lincoln finished speaking, he pointed to Fan Wen.

When Fan Wen heard Lincoln say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Don't you joke, okay?" Didn't I say it, and I didn't see him rush out all of a sudden. That's why this happened."

Lincoln smiled and said, "Even if you say that, it won't help." Officer Lee, please think about it. If you were driving, how far away would you normally be from the brakes if someone suddenly rushed out?"

Li Hongliang thought for a while and said, "According to the speed at which the deceased rushed out, it should be ten meters away, can it be said ......?"

"That's right, although it's because of the rain, but I've checked before, Mr. Fan Wen's brake should be slammed on the brake within five meters."

"What do you say"? When Gong Jin heard Lincoln say this, he was shocked and said, "According to what you say, then Mr. Fan Wen deliberately wanted to kill Mr. Li Jiaming."

As soon as Fan Wen heard Gong Jin say this, he shook his head and said, "No, it's not like this, I was ..... at the time."

Before Fan Wen could finish speaking, Lincoln continued, "Mr. Fan Wen, I think you were also surprised when you drove over and found Mr. Li Jiaming rushing out, but when you thought of what Mr. Li Jiaming said to you last night, you had a killing intent, so you stepped on the brakes when you were five meters away from Mr. Li Jiaming."

"Do you have any evidence for that, if not, I'll make a joke on you." Fan Wen scoffed.

Lincoln smiled, raised two fingers and said, "There are two pieces of evidence, the first is that the hood of your car has blood stains on the protrusion in the middle, I think it must be caused by the car being too violent and hitting Mr. Li Jiaming on the hood." And then you reverse and the worm goes to the tree next to you."

As soon as Lincoln finished speaking, Fan Wen laughed out loud and said, "I thought it was some evidence, it turned out to be this, and it may have splashed up when it hit Li Jiaming."

"Even if you say so, then I'll tell you the second piece of evidence, and that evidence is ironclad evidence that you can't turn over." Lincoln looked at Fan Wen solemnly and said.

"What do you say"! Fan Wen could see the word confidence in Lincoln's eyes, and he was afraid that Lincoln really had some evidence, so he broke out in a cold sweat.

Lincoln also sensed that Fan Wen was scared, so he smiled and said, "I don't think you should have noticed, after you hit the tree, you got out of the car and put the deceased's suicide note in the grass, in order to match your statement, when the deceased's blood mixed with the rain was trampled under your feet."

"What do you say"! Li Hongliang said in surprise, and looked at Fan Wen's feet with Gong Jin.

"As long as the police have investigated, they will know, then please tell me, Mr. Fan Wen, why is there blood on your shoes when you have never touched a corpse."

Fan Wen, who knew that he couldn't refute it, sighed deeply and said, "I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of your kid today."

"So, Mr. Fan Wen, you have admitted your crime." Gong Jin asked.

"Not bad". Fan Wen said with a smile: "It's not wrong that he is my colleague, but when he found out about my embezzlement, he extorted me fiercely." I thought that would be the end of it, but I didn't expect it to follow the second one, the third one. I just can't take it anymore. I was going to kill him, but after I knew that he was going to kill himself last night, I stopped thinking about killing him, but tonight, he suddenly called me and told me that he didn't want to kill himself, and that he would depend on me for the rest of his life. Let me come to him quickly. When I came here by car. I found him standing in the middle of the road with a letter in his hand, and I knew it was the suicide note he had shown me the night before. That's how I came up with this plan.

The case ended smoothly. The rain also slowly became smaller with the end of the case. Lincoln went to the police station with Li Hongliang to make a record on the grounds that the matter had not been refused. But when he was about to leave, Lincoln stopped Li Hongliang and said, "Officer, I want to ask you for something."

"What's the matter"? Li Hongliang asked suspiciously.

Lincoln replied, "Is it okay to temporarily block the news of Wang Wen's death?"

"Why, it is expected that the news of Wang Wen's death will be spread in major media tomorrow morning, why do you want to block it."

"I don't know what to tell you about this, but please." Lincoln bowed pleadingly.

Li Hongliang thought about it, after all, Lincoln's father had helped the police solve so many cases, and even Lincoln had helped the police solve many cases, so he nodded and said, "Okay, but I can only help you block the news for one day."

Even though it was only one day, Lincoln happily said "Thank you, Officer Lee."

And so Lincoln watched the police car leave. Only then did he remember his own affairs, and hurriedly looked at his watch, it was already nine o'clock shift. So he hurried to the road just now. As soon as he arrived at the intersection, he saw a familiar car driving towards him. It was none other than Lincoln's mother, Bai Shilan's car.

The car came to a halt in front of Lincoln. Lincoln looked at Bai Shilan in the car and asked suspiciously, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Aren't you worried about you, you said you were coming to my company at eight o'clock, it's almost ten o'clock, and you haven't come here yet, so I'll come back and have a look. I didn't expect to run into you here." Bai Shilan looked at Lincoln carefully. Lincoln's clothes were half wet. Her hair was also completely soaked, and there was still a little mud on her pants, so Bai Shilan asked, "What's wrong with you, how can you be like this?"

Lincoln smiled and said, "Nothing, there was a little accident." With that, he got into the car. After getting in the car, Lincoln hurriedly asked, "By the way, Mom, did you bring what I wanted?"

Bai Shilan took out a box from his pocket and threw it to Lincoln, who was sitting in the back, and said, "This is the memory card."

Lincoln looked at the memory card in his hand, smiled, and said to himself, "Great." You will soon know the secret between Dad and Wang Wen. There is also the organization mentioned in Wang Wen's diary. and the meaning of "Amethyst".
