When Li Wanfa said this, he asked, "When the comrades arrived at the Hall of Eternal Life, they must have also encountered those ironclad statues, right?" ”

Xu Ming nodded and said nervously, "...... Yes, we also came down from the golden coffin. ”

Li Wanfa frowned and said, "This is all my responsibility, and I didn't deal with the organs in the Hall of Eternal Life, which frightened you." ”

Qiu Tian and the others listened attentively, they all knew that Master Li had always put the safety of the archaeological team first, and he had a strong sense of responsibility, but the mechanism in the ancient tomb was so powerful, how could Li Wanfa be able to crack it alone? The tunnel under the golden coffin is very deep, about seven or eight meters, Master Li and the two bandits were seriously injured by the statue, panicked, jumped from such a high place, it is indeed impossible to live.

At this time, Nanyang and the others remembered the bandits in the ancient city who were cut in two, and the upper and lower corpses could still crawl far away, presumably because they were poisoned by the corpse, turned into ghosts, and finally shed blood before they really stopped their activities. When everyone came down from the Hall of Eternal Life, the two bloody corpses dressed as villagers in the underground passage should have been transformed by the bandit leader who jumped from the golden coffin, and it was certain that the big knife of the statue was soaked in corpse poison. However, at that time, if Master Li and the two bandits were poisoned by corpses, and the bandits became bloody corpse ghosts, how did Master Li become like this?

"Xiao Zhou, do you know my background?" Li Wanfa asked lightly.

Zhou De shook his head and said, "No." ”

Li Wanfa was silent for a moment and said, "I once told Master Wu and Master Chu about my background, but his second elder has never told others. Xiao Zhou, do you know that I joined the archaeological team halfway? ”

Zhou De nodded and said: "My master often mentions this, saying that you have no culture, have not studied, have not learned relevant knowledge, and are not qualified to enter the archaeological team. He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "At that time, many people in the team often talked about you behind your back, mostly criticizing, saying that you were not serious at all, specializing in some feudal superstitions, pretending to be ghosts, that is, Captain Wu has always protected you, otherwise you are not qualified to work in the archaeological team at all." ”

Li Wanfa sighed and said, "Everyone is right! It's true that I haven't studied, I'm not from a professional background, I haven't been trained, I'm a rough person. Everyone secretly thought, although Li Wanfa has no background, but he is an expert, if even a master like Li Wanfa is not qualified to engage in archaeological work, what else can those nerds do?! Gao Qin and Xu Ming were a little ashamed when they thought of themselves.

Li Wanfa recalled the past and said: "I was an orphan, just a few months after I was born, because I was seriously ill, I couldn't be saved

When I was about to die, my parents threw me in the wilderness. But I was not destined to die, and I was picked up by a person who miraculously cured my illness, and this person was my adoptive father. ”

"My adoptive father was in his forties at the time, with no wife and no children, and he was so happy that he saved me and treated me as his own son." Li Wanfa continued: "You must not guess that my adoptive father is actually a very senior tomb robber. According to his words, he will have retribution for doing this, he is well versed in the art of Zhou Yi's divination, and calculates that retribution will appear in his family, and there is no queen, so he has never married a wife and has children. My adoptive father is a kind person, although digging graves and robbing graves is a matter of loss of morality, but he usually does a lot of good deeds, he saved me in the mountains, it is the fate of heaven, my adoptive father thinks that this is the heavens' favor for him, I am not his biological son, and his retribution will not be fulfilled in me. ”

"My adoptive father found me in a piece of yellow earth, and he named me Li Wanfa. My surname is not with him, nor is it the surname of my parents, and I heard him say that the surname 'Li' is the surname of one of his great benefactors. Li Wanfa said: "I have lived with my adoptive father since I was a child, and I have never met my biological parents. My adoptive father led a group of people through the mountains and mountains to find and excavate the strange tombs of the past dynasties, and I had many more uncles and brothers, and I followed them to rob the tombs since I was a child. ”

"As I grew up, my adoptive father suddenly told me that tomb robbing is rewarding, and that this profession is also despised, and he hopes that I will not follow in his footsteps again, and ask me to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and make a career that stands up to the sky." Li Wanfa's eyes flashed, recalling the past: "At that time, my adoptive father did not allow me to rob the tomb with them anymore, but let me do farm work at home, study more, and go to the city to see more of the world and open my eyes when I have the opportunity." ”

"When I was twenty-five years old, my adoptive father and uncle seemed to have something big and a big move, and they got together for several days, as if they were discussing something. However, looking at the adoptive father's face, their actions seemed to be more auspicious this time. Li Wanfa said: "I was very worried, so I asked my adoptive father what happened, that was the first and last time I saw even my adoptive father shook his head helplessly, he said that he and his brothers found a very dangerous ancient tomb, never seen in his life, where the feng shui is special, about to mutate, the big murder descends, if you don't resolve the crisis there, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos, disasters are rampant, I don't know how many people will be killed." The adoptive father and others could have avoided the evil and avoided the disaster, but the common people were about to suffer, so they decided to risk their lives to resolve the crisis of the ancient tomb. ”

"Looking at the helpless expressions of my adoptive father, uncle and brothers, I knew that their trip was dangerous, and it was likely that they would never return. But for the sake of the common people, they decided to risk their lives. I was going to follow, but they stopped me. When Li Wanfa said this, his voice was a little heavy: "Before the adoptive father leaves, he will put a stone."

The bead was given to me, and it was his intimate treasure, but it was given to me. I knew that the stone bead was originally my adoptive father's talisman treasure and never left my body, but my adoptive father had a hunch that the action was unlucky and he probably wouldn't be able to come back alive, so he handed over the stone bead to me. ”

"The adoptive father said that the stone bead is a token passed down from the ancestors, it is said to be an ancient treasure, worn by the head of the sect, but the age is very old, and the people who go back to several generations do not know what the role of this jewel is, but it is passed down from generation to generation as a token of the head. If they can't come back, it is also the will of heaven that their sect should be destroyed, and it is inevitable that they will be doomed. He wants me to live well, never to do tomb robbery again, and to be a man in a down-to-earth manner. ”

"As a result, my adoptive father really didn't return, and in those days I watched the sky at night, and there were several days when the stars were in chaos, as if there were violent changes, but then the sky was stable, and there was no major incident." Li Wanfa said: "I know that my adoptive father has gone and never returned, and it is likely that he died, and I live alone in the mountains." ”

"Later, one day I went to the mountains to collect medicine, and happened to meet Master Wu and a few comrades in the valley to investigate, Master Wu and another person fell into the ravine, I rescued them, Master Wu felt that I was young and promising, clever and capable, very suitable for archaeology, after the conversation, I felt that I had great potential for this industry, so he added me to the archaeological team." Speaking of Wu Honghai, Li Wanfa was also very moved: "Many people in the archaeological team look down on me and think that I am a mountain villager, but Captain Wu recognizes me, believes in me, and has always protected me. Since I come from a tomb robbery school, I am very interested in archaeology, and I am very dedicated to my work, and the mystical techniques I have mastered can be used in archaeological work. Others thought I was a crooked man and sneered at me, but Master Wu was always unmoved, always trusted me, took care of me, and loved me like my adoptive father. For those phenomena that cannot be explained, he always taught me not to believe in superstition, any mysterious phenomenon can be explained by science sooner or later. ”

When everyone heard this, they were very surprised, but they didn't expect that Master Li was originally a tomb robber and became an archaeologist. They also understand Master Li's suffering: in that era, the mind was seriously imprisoned, everything was dogmatic, and people who mentioned ghosts and gods in science were always looked down upon and excluded, not to mention that Master Li was extremely capable, and he must have been envied and framed by villains.

"Xiao Zhou, Master Wu was killed that day, and my adoptive father was dead, and the two people I admired and were closest to me went, so I had the idea of suicide." When Li Wanfa said this, he turned back to the original topic: "So I am ready to die with the bandits, as long as I can save you and keep the ancient tomb, I will die." But after being in distress in the Hall of Eternal Life, I discovered that the secrets of the ancient tomb were far more than that, there were many unknown mysteries, and at that time the bandits were dead, and my desire to survive was greatly increased, and I suddenly thought of the stone bead that never left me! ”
