Tang Yao took out the Que Dragon Pattern and put it on the table, Uncle Tian put on reading glasses, carefully looked at the Que Dragon Pattern in front of him, and said in a low voice while looking at it: "Each Que Dragon Pattern is unique, in order to distinguish each Que Dragon Pattern, the Kui clan will make a special mark in the Que Dragon Pattern, according to the mark, you can know which piece of the Dragon Tomb corresponds to this Que Dragon Pattern, and then find out the general location of the Dragon Tomb according to the records left by the Kui family." ”

"And where is this mark?" Tang Yao hurriedly asked.

Uncle Tian didn't speak, and only after a while did he speak: "You go to the kitchen and pour me a bowl of hot water." ”

After a while, a bowl of hot boiled water was placed on the table, Uncle Tian put the dragon pattern into the hot boiling water, Tang Yao hurriedly looked down, but the dragon pattern in the bowl did not change in the slightest, except for the occasional bubble or two, there was no characteristic, Tang Yao asked suspiciously: "Uncle Tian, what is this for?" ”

"I can't see the clues yet, I'll have to wait a while." After Uncle Tian finished speaking, he lit a cigarette for himself.

While waiting, Tang Yao couldn't call to inform the others, and he was sitting at Uncle Tian's house after being silent for a moment and asked, "Uncle Tian, can you tell me about my mother again, did she say anything else when she came to you?" ”

"Why did you ask me about your own mother's own affairs?" Uncle Tian asked suspiciously.

Tang Yao smiled awkwardly and said, "She disappeared when I was very young, and I even thought she was dead......

"Oh...... That's right...... In fact, I have only met your mother twice, the first time was decades ago, in Yunnan, when I had already obtained a part of the true biography of the old man Kui, I did not learn well and embarked on the wrong path, in Yunnan and a few people engaged in tomb robbery, as a result, there was infighting when the stolen goods were sold, those little Wang Eight Lambs wanted to kill me, and then I happened to meet your mother, she rescued me, so I owe her a great favor, I remember the first time I met your mother, she was still a girl, lively and clever and clever, The second time was the meeting fifteen years ago, when I was found out of the mountain gate by the old man Kui because of several tomb robberies in a row, and later the whole country strictly investigated tomb robberies and other illegal acts, I also went in and squatted for a while, and after coming out, I stopped, and bought a house with the wealth I made in the early years, and I have been living in this area until now. ”

"Was my mother very beautiful when she was young, can you say more?" Tang Yao couldn't help but ask when he heard his mother's news.

"Well, your mother was very beautiful when she was young, in fact, she was still very beautiful when I saw her fifteen years ago, but she was not as sunny and lively as when I saw her, I don't know what kind of illusionist your mother is, but her methods are strange but very clever, I also mixed in the illusionist circle in the early years, although I am not proficient in illusion, but I have never eaten pork and seen pigs run, and the illusions performed by your mother are different from other illusions I have seen." Uncle Tian said.

At this time, the hot boiling water in the bowl began to change, and it seemed that with the drop in water temperature, there were more and more bubbles in the bowl, Tang Yao looked at it carefully and said: "I don't know if I was wrong, I always feel that this Que Dragon Pattern seems to have become a little bigger, and it feels a little expanded." ”

Uncle Tian nodded and said: "You read that right, this is a very basic physical phenomenon of thermal expansion and cold contraction, the artificial amber that makes the Que Dragon Pattern will expand after being heated, and only then can you see the special mark inside it, but if you directly put the Que Dragon Pattern on the fire and roast it, it will have to be scorched in less than a moment." ”

As he spoke, Uncle Mamada took out the Que Dragon Pattern from the bowl, shook off the water on it, and then took out a magnifying glass to observe the Que Dragon Pattern carefully, and then said: "The number of Di Kui, now I know." ”

"Can you show me?" Tang Yao asked.

Uncle Tian nodded and handed over the Que Dragon Pattern and the magnifying glass, Tang Yao looked up from Uncle Tian's appearance, and the magnifying glass focused on the head of the dragon-shaped pattern in the Que Dragon Pattern little by little, in this position, Tang Yao saw a very small word, this word was the word "Kui".

"There's a word engraved in this, why haven't I seen it before?" Tang Yao said in surprise.

"So you need to soak it in hot water to see, this is also our modern method, in ancient times when the Kui clan was still prosperous, the seventy-two dragon tombs corresponding to the dragon pattern were carefully collected in different categories, okay, you wait here, I'll check which dragon tomb the number of Dikui represents." Uncle Tian walked into the study, Tang Yao stood up and walked back and forth in the living room, there were many vases and antiques in the living room, Tang Yao couldn't tell whether it was true or false, so he was not very interested, and walked around and saw a few old photos on the shelves.

Basically, they are all photos of Uncle Tian when he was young, one of them is a photo of him and a group of people, this group of people are all young men and they are all wearing Mao suits and look particularly vigorous, from the standing, Uncle Tian's status in the photo is not low, standing in the middle of the position, and in the center of the photo stands a middle-aged man who looks in his thirties, wearing black glasses, holding a book in his hand, his cheeks are extremely thin, and his face is gloomy, It's like the kind of person who still feels a little chilly under the scorching sun.

At this time, Uncle Tian walked out and said: "I checked some notes from my youth, wrote down the approximate location, and the notes will be given to you together, it's useless to stay with me, Old Man Kui gave an order when he drove me out of the school, and I can't accept apprentices in my life, so when I die, these notes may be burned together, it's better to give them to you is one more copy of your mother's life-saving grace back then, and I also turned out an old photo under the box and gave it to you." ”

Tang Yao heard the voice and walked over quickly, took his notes and sketches of the location of the dragon tomb from Uncle Tian's hand, and at the same time saw Uncle Tian hand over a yellowed piece of paper, and when he opened it, it was actually a sketch, painting a portrait of a beautiful woman, the painting was very fine, even if it was a sketch, it was also lifelike.

"I sprayed fixing liquid, I have been framed before, and then I accidentally smashed it when I moved, so I kept the painting, the portrait on this is your mother, she saved me when we met for the first time, I proposed to paint a sketch for her in order to repay her, and she also generously agreed, in fact, I secretly painted two, one for her, and one for myself." Uncle Tian smiled and said.

Tang Yao was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "I take the liberty of asking, did you like my mother back then?" ”

Uncle Tian immediately shook his head and said: "What are you talking nonsense about this little guy, I was in my forties at that time, your mother was still a girl, I regarded her as a friend, you young people now only have love and love in their heads, we were much simpler than you in that era, and the feelings between men and women were also very pure, and making friends and making friends were two different things." ”

Tang Yao nodded awkwardly, solemnly took the portrait, looked at the mother on the portrait, and said in a low voice: "The only picture of my mother in our family is with my father, if it weren't for this portrait of yours, I might not even remember what my mother looks like, thank you." ”

"I'm also sorry for your mother's disappearance, but I can't help you too much, and I don't want you to tell the public about seeing me, I want to spend my old age in peace, if I let the organization over there of the 'ghost thieves' know my address, I'm afraid that for the sake of the Dragon Tomb, they will still come to me for trouble, about my lifelong research on the Dragon Tomb is in the notes, you can take a good look, you can go now." Uncle Tian asked Tang Yao to leave.

Tang Yao took back his mobile phone, put all the notes and portraits in his backpack, and suddenly asked when he walked to the door: "Finally, Uncle Tian, I have seen the photo on the shelf, who is the man wearing glasses standing in the middle on it?" ”

For some reason, he was very curious about this man, and although he only looked at the photos, he felt that this man must be very simple.

Uncle Tian's face suddenly became solemn, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Maybe you will really meet him in the future, and it doesn't hurt to tell you, I was still very young when I took that photo, but at that time, I had already worshiped Old Man Kui as a teacher, and Old Man Kui took me to a gathering of the illusionist circle one day, and the people who came to participate were all young elites in the circle, and this person was the initiator of this gathering, his name is Xun Xing, and now he is the high priest of the Reincarnation Society." ”

Tang Yao left Uncle Tian's house and quickly called the others to inform them of the good news.

At night, Uncle Tian glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, he turned off the TV and went into the kitchen to check whether the gas was turned off and then prepared to go to bed, but when he walked into the kitchen, he heard a "clang" sound from the window and living room.

Uncle Tian frowned, and immediately walked back to the living room to find that the window that had been closed was actually opened, and at the same time, he also saw two people actually appeared in the living room out of thin air, both of them were men, one was sitting on the sofa, and the other was standing beside him.

The one sitting on the sofa was wearing a Mao suit, black glasses, and looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a thin face and a gloomy face.

Uncle Tian's body suddenly began to tremble slightly, as if he was afraid of something and didn't dare to step into the living room, and said in a trembling voice: "...... Big Brother ...... I haven't seen you for so many years, why aren't you old at all? ”

The man in the tunic smiled at Uncle Tian and said, "Xiao Tian, I'm afraid we haven't seen each other for more than fifty years, come and sit, I have something I want to ask you." ”
