Wu Xie and the second uncle came to the stream next to the village, and the second uncle didn't speak all the way, until he walked to the old house that was burned down, and he said, "I have seen your email." ”

Wu Xie already sensed in his heart that this might have something to do with the email, so he looked at him and waited for him to continue.

The second uncle paused before he said, "Do you believe what you wrote in the letter?" ”

The letter that the second uncle said was that after Wu Xie returned to Golmud, he weighed it again and again, wrote an email to the second uncle, and explained everything before and after.

Half an hour later, the second uncle called and said to Wu Xie that he knew, and that he should not tell anyone about this matter, and told him not to worry about it, he would deal with it and let him go back to Hangzhou immediately.

Wu Xie naturally couldn't go back immediately, at that time, the fat man, the little brother, and Pan Zi were all lying in the hospital.

"What do I mean by that? I wanted to believe it, but I didn't dare to believe it, because I couldn't think of anything else. Wu Xie said, "You have been with the third uncle for so long, have you noticed anything unusual?" ”

The second uncle lit a cigarette, looked at him, frowned and did not speak.

Wu Xie said: "This is what others said, and the third uncle didn't deny it personally, so I'm not without suspicion." ”

The second uncle still looked at him, finished his cigarette in a few puffs, paused, and suddenly said, "You don't have to doubt it, I tell you, this is indeed true." ”

"Indeed?" Wu Xie asked suspiciously, "How are you sure?" ”

He said slowly: "We have known about this matter for a long time. ”

Wu Xie stood there, not believing his ears.

The second uncle continued: "Little evil, some things are not as simple as you think, but there are also many things that are not as complicated as you think. ”

"If you know, how did you make this happen?"

The second uncle stood silent, then made a gesture to let Wu Xie continue to walk, and handed over a piece of something.

Wu Xie took it and looked at it, it was a photo, "This is?" ”

"I kept one before burning down that house. I think it's much more appropriate to show you now than to show you back then. He said.

Wu Xie was stunned, stunned, house? Burn it? No way!

He immediately said, "Second uncle, did you do that?" ”

I still wanted to speak, but the second uncle waved his hand and asked him to look at the photo, "We won't mention those things." ”

It was a very ordinary black and white photo, and it was also a group photo. If you look closely, there is a strange middle-aged man on it, who is talking to Wen Jin, and behind it are the rest of the archaeological team. The middle-aged man is not the person in the photo he has seen before. He was very white and very emaciated. But Wu Xie looked a little familiar.

"This is the photo that Chu Guangtou wants you to see." The second uncle said, "I'll find the most illustrative one to stay, thinking that if I still can't help it in the end, I have to let you know, and the physical evidence will be more revealing than my mouth." ”

"That's it?" Wu Xie couldn't understand, "What's wrong with this photo?" ”

"Don't you know this man?" He said, gesturing at the stranger.

Wu Xie looked at the white and thin man, and suddenly remembered who he was, and couldn't help but let out an "ah", "How could it be him?" He's not ......"

This person is not an inconsequential person, if they and Wen Jin's team appear in a photo, then the specifications of this archaeological team are not the kind of status that Wu Xiexiang has.

They continued to wander, and the second uncle said, "I can't tell you the details, but I can tell you a story." Little evil, sometimes, some things, he is a story, just a story, do you want to listen to it? ”

Wu Xie nodded, and the second uncle lit another cigarette and said, "You don't read less books than me, have you read the book of Qin Shi Huang?" ”

Wu Xie nodded again.

He continued: "What about the Book of Han? ”

Wu Xie nodded again.

The second uncle said, "Have you found out?" These emperors in ancient China all had a convention, whether it was a big emperor, a small emperor, a grass-headed emperor or an orthodox royal family, after they became famous and peaceful, they would inevitably have a behavior, that is, to seek immortality. ”

Wu Xie didn't answer, if it was in the past, he would definitely echo the previous sentence, but now, maybe because he has experienced more things, he has become mature.

The second uncle glanced at him in surprise and continued: "If you open the history books, you will find that really, this convention is too difficult to break, and the more the founding emperor, the more it intensifies, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty...... " He paused, "From generation to generation, dozens of country names have changed, titles have changed, and even more, even the title of the emperor is not used, and the convention is still not broken." ”

Wu Xie nodded, it was indeed so. Human nature is inherited, no matter where you stand, at a certain time, you will still see death approaching you.

However, the so-called secrets and legends of immortality become more and more obscure the closer to modern times. Many emperors believed that the clues to immortality existed in the tombs of ancient alchemists, so it was natural that some teams would appear to help the emperor conduct field exploration. Such teams often sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, using some existing establishment as a cover. The second uncle looked at Wu Xie and smiled, "And the people in these teams are the most powerful masters in the folk that night." Since ancient times, many of the Tufuzi, the North and South Earth Immortals, and the Touching Jin Captains have been recruited and eaten public food. At some point, under the pressure of power, you can't help but be disloyal, and you can only bow your head for the sake of the family. ”

However, this kind of thing has never seen the light of day, so these people for generations have not ended well in the end. In addition, in this kind of team, there are always people who want to get rid of that pervasive control, and immortality is not only attractive to emperors and generals, but also a great temptation for these seekers. When they do find some clues, they can't help but have their own thoughts in their hearts. ”

They often tell their brothers or family members about these ideas, and the members of these families are people who have seen the wind and waves, and the tip of the knife is rolling, and they are very bold, so they will come up with some plans to implement these ideas. Some of these plans have failed, some have succeeded, and some do not know whether they have failed or succeeded, but what is certain is that once discovered, then, the end of these people has come. ”

He stopped, hooked Wu Xie's shoulders and said, "However, some plans can be concealed for a long time, and even change the dynasty. By this time, the two sides had reached some kind of consensus, and no one wanted it to be poked out. As he spoke, he looked at him again, "Especially 'it'." ”

Wu Xie didn't dare to say that he completely understood the story of the second uncle, but he understood what he wanted to say.

Wu Xie asked, "So, what happened here is also one of the activities that 'it' is doing?" ”

The second uncle nodded: "I'm afraid it is, so I knew about the existence of this village for a long time, and when I heard Panzi say that you arrived here, I felt that it was not good, and immediately asked him to bring someone over." Wherever those people go, it must be very dangerous. ”

"Do you know what's going on here? What the hell are those things? ”

And after thinking about it, he said, "Those may be Milota." ”

"Milotha? What's that? ”

"Milota is the ancestor of the Yao people, and in their mythology, their first goddess was born from the mountains. I reckon that the monster is the prototype of Milota. The second uncle took out a piece of iron from his pocket, "This goddess created a man for the first time, and what she created was an iron man, but the divine power of the goddess of the iron box was compatible, and she failed to succeed." At that time, those miners sealed the stone with iron, obviously they were all Yao people who had heard this kind of legend, and your estimate should be about the same. ”

Wu Xie nodded.

The second uncle continued: "As for how this thing came about, I'm afraid no one knows. Listening to your description, it's a lot like a religious ritual where you are being sacrificed and waiting there. Those things exist very deep at the bottom of the mountain, and it takes a long time to get them down, and I feel that what you have encountered may have been arranged by someone else. ”

And he also had the same feeling, proving that his intuition was correct, but Wu Xie said: "But, as I said, there is no exit from that mine. ”

The second uncle thought for a while, patted him and said, "I told you before that what has happened, no matter what the phenomenon you see, it just happened." Since you have entered, there must be an entrance, and if you can't find it, you can't say that there is no, and the entrance must be there. ”

Wu Xie smiled bitterly, when the fat man said it before, he also thought the same way, but if he couldn't find it, he couldn't find it.

The second uncle's walkie-talkie rang suddenly, he picked it up, and hung up after only a few hums, Wu Xie continued to ask, why did he come to him and bring so many people? This is also an exaggeration! What are they doing by the lake now?

The second uncle's face turned pale, and he only said: "There are some things, this time, we have to have you, otherwise we really can't find here." As for the purpose of coming here, I can't tell you right now, but when it is confirmed, you will know. He looked at his watch, "Things are just getting started here, and besides, we're running out of time." ”

"Is it related to the third uncle? Or, and 'it'? ”

The second uncle smiled: "Don't worry, then you will know how insignificant these things you have experienced are." Don't ask now, don't inquire, if you want to find that little brother's past, just look for it, but I'm here, you don't come to your set. I'm different from the third child, I won't let you mess around. ”

The second uncle didn't say anything to Wu Xie anymore, unlike the third uncle, what kind of talk was grinding with him, it was completely useless, he would do what he said, and he would tell him when the matter was confirmed, and he would never break his word.

The second uncle said that he would have to stay here for a while, and Wu Xie could wait here, and he could go for a walk in other places. However, in the future, you must report your whereabouts at any time and don't let him run around anymore.

Because they were worried about the little brother, Mengli and the fat man, Wu Xie and A Ning left the village a week later and went to the hospital in Fangchenggang.

Yun Cai and Ah Gui took Wu Xie and A Ning to their ward, and all three of them were fine.

When he saw the fat man, Wu Xie was almost in tears. After not seeing him for a few days, his body was fat again, and he didn't look like he had just walked out of the Hades Palace.

When the fat man saw the clouds coming, he couldn't find the north again, so he got out of bed to flaunt his immortality.

In the past few days, Mengli has already told the little brother and the fat man about the situation.

As soon as Wu Xie and A Ning came, they began to talk about the whole thing, and Wu Xie took out a piece of paper to show them.

Previously, at Agui's house, he drew the floor plan of the ancient village according to his memory.

But there was no result in such a discussion, and the fat man clamored to take them to the sick meal.

After waiting for a while, she didn't see any movement in the clouds, and when she looked back, she found that she was looking at the plan of the bottom of the lake. There was no reaction at all, apparently attracted to something.

"What's wrong, Cloud Girl? Are you interested in this stuff? The fat man asked.

Yun Cai pursed his mouth, looked up at them and said, "This painting of this village at the bottom of the lake is similar to Banai." ”
