"Wood ......" When I was looking at the dried corpse, Shen Muhan and the madman walked over. After recovering just now, Shen Muhan has improved a lot, but his eyes are still a little distracted, and he looks frightened.

"Why are you here, girl, go and wait outside, I'll send him out later." I touched Shen Muhan's head and urged her to leave this place.

"Wooden ......" Shen Muhan glanced at the madman and stopped talking, as if he had something to say, but he had some scruples. But there was a secret room inexplicably in the villa where I lived since I was a child, and there was a dried corpse lying in it, and it was definitely impossible to let the madman out at this time, so I had to signal Shen Muhan to continue.

"Yes...... Uncle Li! As soon as Shen Muhan's words came out, two lines of tears flowed.

"Girl, what Uncle Li?" Shen Muhan's words made my whole person blind.

Shen Muhan wiped his tears and pointed to the dried corpse on the table: "That person is Uncle Li......"

"How is it possible, are you frightened?" I looked at Shen Muhan's appearance, and I was inevitably a little worried. It's only been more than two months since we came back, and Uncle Li has only been out for a few months, and the person in front of him has completely turned into a dried corpse, and it is impossible to work without a few years, how can it be Uncle Li?

"Wood...... It's really Uncle Li. When he said this, Shen Muhan couldn't cry. Although Shen Muhan repeatedly insisted that this dried corpse was Uncle Li, I still couldn't believe it, and the madman also looked at Shen Muhan with a worried face.

Shen Muhan sobbed and said, "The wound on the leg ......"

As soon as Shen Muhan mentioned the injury on his leg, my heart sank suddenly. When Uncle Li was young, he often went around archaeology, injuries and illnesses were common, and he naturally left a lot of scars on his body, the most serious part was the injury on his leg, which was a very serious archaeological accident.

That incident was about more than ten years ago, when Shen Muhan and I had gone abroad, and all the details about that incident were told to us by Uncle Li later. At that time, it was a joint archaeology, the cause was that a foreign expedition team inadvertently discovered a Western Zhou ancient tomb in the hinterland of Kunlun, the tomb was not large, but the cultural relics were of high value, and the bronzes unearthed later were all national treasure-level cultural relics. The entire excavation and clean-up of the tomb was supposed to go very smoothly, but an accident occurred at the time of the evacuation of the last personnel.

At that time, Uncle Li was the on-site commander of the entire archaeological operation, so he stayed at the end when he was evacuated, and several people in the archaeological team also stayed, and after confirming once again that there was no omission, when Uncle Li and a few others were about to leave, there was no movement on the ground, and Uncle Li muttered a little in his heart. Fortunately, there was a spare rescue rope left at that time, and several people climbed up along the rescue rope, when Uncle Li climbed into the air, the rope suddenly broke, and the whole person fell down from a place several meters high, and then there were stones falling from above, Uncle Li couldn't dodge, and his leg was hit by stones, and when the follow-up rescuers arrived at the scene, several other people had been stoned to death, and Uncle Li finally picked up a life, but the left leg bone was broken into several pieces.

The foreign archaeological team along with all the unearthed cultural relics were all gone, and later the border caught a few foreigners who illegally left the country, carrying a large number of prohibited items, and it was verified that it was the cultural relics that were lost at that time, and it was also at that time that it was confirmed that the so-called expedition and archaeological team were fake, and all the identities and documents were fake, and the real identity was a group of tomb robbers outside the country.

Although the cultural relics did not flow out, the steel plate on Uncle Li's leg was never removed, and the doctor said that the leg bone had been broken like that, even if it healed, the strength could not support his own weight, and the bone density would decline more obviously as he got older. Therefore, since that incident, Uncle Li has rarely participated in archaeological activities, and even if he does, he only participates as an action consultant.

So when Shen Muhan mentioned his leg injury, I felt uneasy. I told myself in my heart that this dried corpse would not be Uncle Li, and walked over. The corpse in front of me was completely dehydrated, and the skin and muscle tissue had already turned into a thin layer, so the shape of the steel plate on the entire leg bone was clearly visible, but just now my attention was on the table and I didn't notice it.

I just glanced at it and stood up, I remember very clearly the direction and shape of the steel plate on Uncle Li's leg, it was exactly the same as the one in front of me.

"Wood! Isn't that right? "When the madman saw that I didn't speak, he probably knew something in his heart.

In the face of the madman's inquiry, I didn't know how to answer, and I didn't believe that the dried corpse in front of me could be Uncle Li, but the leg injury was indeed exactly the same, and the possibility of coincidence was almost non-existent.

"Impossible! You must have discussed it to scare me, right? The madman was stunned for a moment, then looked at us with a smile. Don't pretend, it's not like you act at all. ”

After the madman finished speaking, he walked over to the dry corpse and took a look: "Look, the corpses have all been done like this, and they can't be seen from their appearance, although the leg injuries are very similar, but they can't explain the identity of this person, right?" Besides, my dad just went out a month ago, and as you all know, it takes years for this dry corpse to form, right? ”

The madman said as he excitedly walked up to me and grabbed me by the shoulder: "No, right? ”

I looked at the madman and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Seeing that I didn't speak, the madman patted me on the shoulder, smiled and said, "How is it?" I'll just say that you guys are working together to fix me, you used to do this often when you were young, and I saw through it this time, right? Okay, stop playing, where did you get the dried corpses and send them back quickly, and I'll make you breakfast. ”

After saying this, the madman walked out on his own, and before leaving the door, he paused for a moment, as if he had something to say, but then he raised his feet and walked out. I looked at the back of the madman leaving, and wanted to catch up, but was pulled by Li Jingyao, so I had to let Shen Muhan chase him out, although the madman just looked disapproving, but the pause before going out still reassured me.

After Shen Muhan left, I looked at the dried corpse, and my heart was mixed. If you want to say that this dried corpse is Uncle Li, I won't believe it anyway. Although we didn't see it with our own eyes when Uncle Li went out, at least Uncle Li personally picked us up at home when we returned to China, so it was impossible to go wrong. Even when I was in Changbai Mountain, there was an illusion of time, and my senses were also skewed, but it was only a month to be full, and the environment of the secret room could not completely dehydrate a corpse into a dry corpse in a month. But the wound on the cadre's leg is exactly the same as Uncle Li's, and although the cadre's face has shrunk so much that it can't see its original appearance, the general outline is still there, and it does have a lot of similarities with Uncle Li.

Li Jingyao didn't speak again after pulling me just now, just looked at the table motionlessly, and I followed her gaze for a while before I realized that she was looking at the hand of the dry corpse stretched forward.

"What's the matter, Miss, what's the discovery?" I asked, puzzled.

"There's something." Li Jingyao pointed to the hand of the dry corpse.

The hand of the dry corpse was clenched tightly before it died, and although the dehydrated gap was much larger, the gap was still not large, and I almost got up to see that it seemed to be a broken piece of paper inside, which must have been torn from something before I died.

"Miss, take a hand." At first, I wanted to pull the piece of paper out of my hand, but I was afraid that it would break off after too long, so I had to try to see if I could break the hand of the dry corpse a little, and after trying several times, it was in vain, once the corpse formed a dry corpse state, it would become very hard, and it was very difficult to break the palm of my hand, so I had to call Li Jingyao to come and help.

From Shen Muhan's performance and our conversation just now, Li Jingyao should have guessed that this person's identity may have a close relationship with us, so his subordinates didn't dare to use all their strength, for fear of destroying the corpse, the two of us could only break the thumb and index finger of one person, and make the gap as big as possible, but the dry corpse was like a competition with us, until we were tired and sweaty, and our fingers didn't move at all.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking it apart, I said to myself to the dried corpse in front of me: "If you are really Uncle Li, you can give me what you have in your hand, so that I can know why you died." "It's strange to say, as soon as I finished speaking, the dry corpse's hand opened a slit, I don't know if I really heard my words, or if the two of us just broke it and let the fingers loosen. It wasn't all the palm of your hand, but it was enough to get the piece of paper out.

I carefully pulled out the piece of paper and laid it flat on the table, it looked like it had been ripped from a book, and it was in the upper right corner of the book. The whole body of the paper is dark yellow, the fiber texture is obvious, the curtain pattern is relatively wide, and it is jute paper at a glance. Hemp paper was widely used in the Tang Dynasty, and jute paper was mainly used for military documents.

"There's a word on it."

Li Jingyao's reminder, I just remembered to read the content on the paper.

The piece of paper was not big, and it was only a corner, so there were not many words left, and the few words on it had become blurry after a long period of oxidation, and I could barely see it when I tried to put it up.

"Righteousness...... Peaceful...... Cuiwei ...... Hide...... Miss, do you know what that means? "I could barely see five unrelated words after reading it for a long time, and I didn't understand what it was at all, so I had to show it to Li Jingyao.

"In the first year of Yining, the son rescued the Yanmen, and occasionally got the help of heaven, and with the right way of heaven, he established the sky and divided the five spirits. In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, Taizong feathered Cuiwei Palace, and the five spirits were scattered and hidden. Li Jingyao didn't look at the piece of paper I handed over, and began to speak expressionlessly, I hurriedly checked the words on the piece of paper, and it turned out that all of them could be correct, and what surprised me even more was that what Li Jingyao just said actually mentioned the five spirits of Shutian.

"What is this?" I asked, puzzled.

"The Book of Heavenly Water."
