The pillar said, "Master Zhou, you haven't been able to find this place at that time?" ”

When Zhou De said this, his expression changed suddenly, as if he was afraid of something, and said tremblingly: "We searched for several days, but we didn't find any traces of ancient tombs and people, so we were going to add more manpower and mobilize the surrounding people to help search the mountain, but at this moment, the country underwent a greater change." ”

Qiu Tian asked, "What happened?" ”

"Reform." When Zhou De said this word, the flesh on his face twitched, as if he felt extremely painful, and said: "Just when we were about to search the ancient tomb with all our might, the reform was fully launched, the society was in turmoil, chaos and disorder, all the workers, peasants, and businesses were stopped, and our old director Chu was inexplicably designated as a landlord and was quickly arrested. There was a change of leadership in the bureau, but the work was soon put on hold. ”

As soon as Nanyang and the others heard about the reform, they immediately understood that that period of history was very gray and cruel. Qiu Tian didn't seem to understand the meaning of the reform, and was a little curious.

Li Wanfa listened to Zhou De's "reform", and he didn't understand it, he didn't know what it was, but he was surprised and said: "Master Chu has been arrested?!" How could he be some kind of 'landowner'?! ”

"'The people in power on the landlord road'" Zhou De said silently: "The reform must be destroyed at the beginning. 'Doubt everything', 'Bring everything down', 'All-out civil war'. As soon as the reform began, Director Chu was falsely accused, all work in the bureau was stopped, and our rescue operations were stopped. ”

Li Wanfa said: "Xiao Zhou, you ...... Tell me a little bit more about the reforms. For what? ”

Zhou De told Li Wanfa about the general situation of the reform, Li Wanfa frowned, his eyes were deep, he didn't expect that after he entered here, the country would have such a huge change.

Zhou De mentioned this past, his expression was indifferent, and he seemed to be extremely painful, and said: "At that time, all the search troops were evacuated, no matter how I pleaded with the leadership, no one paid attention to this matter anymore, at that time, everyone was in danger, and what people cared about was how to protect themselves." I privately took a few masters from the archaeological team back to look for the ancient tomb, but still found nothing. ”

"That's when things got worse." Zhou De said this, his voice trembled again, it seems that this period of time made him unforgettable: "All parts of the country began to reform, began to bring down the landlords, Director Chu just had an accident, the comrades of the archaeological team in our bureau were criticized, especially me, because I said that the archaeological team encountered blood corpses, I became the target of the public, people said that I was a cow ghost and snake god, engaged in feudal superstition, and was an anti-revolutionary element, and I was arrested into the cowshed...... ......"

When Zhou De said this, his voice became choked, and his eyes were very frightened: "...... I was paraded through the streets, beaten and abused all day long, and some people suspected that I had killed the missing comrades of the archaeological team, but fortunately Xiao Xu and Xiao Guo could prove it to me, otherwise I would have been framed as a murderer at that time......"

“…… After I was arrested, Xiao Xu also came to save me and proved my innocence, but she was also implicated and criticized several times...... I was strictly imprisoned for two years, and for two whole years, I was beaten, ridiculed, and criticized like a slave criminal...... I couldn't bear those pains, and I thought about dying, but when I thought of the missing comrades, the sacrificed masters, and the ancient ruins, I persevered......"

Everyone sighed in their hearts that the turbulent history of reform was ruthless, cruel, and a human disaster, and many people were falsely accused. And with Master Zhou's stubborn and upright character, he must have offended many people, endured all the hardships, and the torture he suffered was unimaginable. No wonder Master Zhou's personality is so withdrawn, eccentric, and cynical, and it seems to have a lot to do with that experience.

“…… I was kept under surveillance, and then I kept admitting my mistakes and never mentioning the bloody corpse again, and they thought that my attitude was better, and their control over me was relaxed, and they let me participate in labor reform...... Xiao Xu came to see me a few times, and her health was getting worse and weaker...... She had tried to go to that mountainous area several times to search, but she didn't find Xiao Zhang...... We all know that...... Xiao Zhang was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and was held hostage by bandits, so it is likely that he was already killed...... But Xiao Xu is still looking for him......"

"I changed a few more places during the renovation...... After the fourth year, Xiao Xu never came to me again...... Since then, I have lost news of them, and I am the only one left...... One day I wanted to escape, I wanted to escape into the mountains, to look for this ancient ruin, but I was caught by the militia, and I was almost killed that time...... After that, he was tortured for six months...... I was convicted of a very serious crime and sent to a special prison in a remote mountainous area...... Finally, he was escorted to the East...... A full decade...... I was sentenced to 10 years of re-education through labor...... Until the end of the reform...... I just came back from the East......"

Li Wanfa listened to what happened to Zhou De, his eyes were sad, he sighed, and said, "What about Xiao Xu and Xiao Guo?" Have you seen them both after the reform? ”

Zhou De's eyes were blank, he shook his head, and said blankly: "...... After I returned to Yangcheng, I inquired about the news of the two of them everywhere, but after many years, things are not people, I looked for a long time, and then I found out the news of the two of them...... Xiao Xu has passed away......"

The archaeological team of that year experienced a special history and only had this end, only the current Master Zhou and Master Li, Nanyang and others secretly sighed the ruthlessness of fate, Master Zhou suffered a lot for the ancient ruins, Master Li was closed in the ancient ruins for more than 40 years, at this moment everyone meets, is it a blessing in misfortune? Gao Qin's eyes were already red.

Zhou De was also very excited, tears rolled in his eyes, and he trembled and said: "After the reform, I no longer have to live like a prisoner, I rushed back from the north with great difficulty, and immediately returned to the mountains, trying to find here, but ten years after the reform, when I returned here, everything changed, and it became more strange...... I went to the relevant departments to ask for help and went to the Cultural Affairs Bureau to report the matter, but at that time, the personnel of the Cultural Affairs Bureau had changed a lot, almost all of them had been replaced, no one knew me, and all the previous data files were burned in the reform, I talked to the new leader about this matter, but the new leader did not know me and did not believe me, who would believe the nonsense of a ragged old man about blood corpses? I searched many departments, and although some people followed me several times, they didn't find any clues. In this way, no one believed me anymore, so I had to look for this place alone. I don't have any pursuits in my life, and the reason why I insist on surviving is to find this ancient site and uncover the mystery of the past. ”

"I know that the ancient ruins are buried in these mountains, although there is no helper, but I can persevere, as long as there is still a breath, I will find it." Zhou De's tone was very firm: "I began to study Feng Shui and other ancient metaphysics, I was penniless and had no tools, so I could only use the art of Feng Shui like Master Li did back then, plus an inch of searching, to find the ancient ruins." So I lived in the mountains, searched for more than 30 years, and finally found here! ”

Everyone was silent, they could feel the hardships of Master Zhou, this mountainous area is so large, the terrain is complex and harsh, the vegetation is dense, an old man, without modern tools, completely on his own, to find the ancient ruins buried deep in the ground, what a difficult project!

Zhou De suddenly smiled happily and said: "Although I have never been able to learn to use metaphysics to find the abnormality of the earth's qi, I have never given up, the sky pays off my hard work, I found this place in my lifetime, and I also saw Master Li here, even if I die, I will be blind." ”

Li Wanfa gently patted Zhou De's shoulder and said softly, "Xiao Zhou, it's really difficult for you." Everyone also has great respect for Master Zhou at this moment.

Zhou De nodded tremblingly and asked, "...... Master Lai...... You ......"

After listening to Zhou De's experience, everyone was left with only one question: What happened after Li Wanfa came down that year? Why is he alive to be now?

Li Wanfa looked at everyone, as if he understood the doubts in everyone's hearts, and said, "...... Ladies and gentlemen...... In fact...... I'm dead...... Or rather...... I'm no longer human......"
