Lao He didn't say it too clearly, but after the accident just now, I already knew about it. The danger comes from the man in the grave.

"Just now, I almost died." Lao He continued: "If you ask anyone to help you see this, it will be to push people into the fire pit. ”

The person in the tomb is actually just a concept, without a specific image, and can only rely on feelings to determine his existence. It is impossible for this person to physically damage anyone, however, he can cause the target to become mentally deranged or even broken.

I feel that the attack of the person in the tomb is not active, otherwise, I have encountered so many dangers before, and the enemy has not appeared in such a situation as Lao He. Suffice it to say that the attack of the man in the grave would only be directed at those who tried to spy on him.

Just now, if there was no accident, Lao He would definitely die, but the three-legged fox had always been attached to Lao He, and the three-legged fox bore the brunt and became a scapegoat.

The three-legged fox has disappeared, and the root cause that has tormented Lao He for half his life has finally been eliminated. However, this is not without a price, Lao He's left eye tends to be normal, and there is no three-legged fox, Lao He will no longer be able to tell fortunes for others in the future.

I'm sorry for Lao He, this is his ability to eat, now that he's this age, there is no more food guy, how should he mix in the future?

"I'd rather live so easily, do whatever you want, as long as I'm not lazy, I can always support myself." Lao He seemed to be very satisfied with this result, and his smiling mouth grinned to the root of his ears: "Maybe, if you are lucky, you can find a daughter-in-law." ”

"It's good......" I suddenly understood what Lao He was happy about, a person has been carrying a heavy burden for half his life, whether this burden can bring him fame and fortune or something else, but the burden is a burden after all, and one day, the person who is pressed will be out of breath.

There is nothing more tangible than living a down-to-earth life, and it can be said that Lao He is finally liberated.

The two of us talked for a while, and Lao He wanted to leave overnight. I left him for two more days, but Lao He refused.

"My phone number, you remember, it's okay, keep in touch." I saw that I couldn't keep Lao He, so I patted him on the shoulder, and while he wasn't paying attention, I stuffed some money in his pocket: "Drink a little wine together, brag and chat." ”

"What else to contact?" Lao He smiled again, but the smile was a little bitter: "I have no ability anymore, and I can't help you anymore." ”

"Friends, it's about friendship, not who can help whom."

I sent Lao He away and came back to clean up by myself. This time, I invited Lao He to come, I can't say that there is no gain, at least, I know the place called Ta'er Lake.

To my regret, until now, I didn't know what that grave in my head meant. Lao He has indeed made it clear that the tomb is in fact likely to be a piece of consciousness information, but what happened today has already made me know that this piece of information may not be able to be deciphered.

The half catty of wine I drank with Lao He had already passed, so I got some more and drank it slowly. At this point, I had to revisit a question that I had considered before, was it a coincidence that I was involved in this incident?

Before I was involved in this incident, I always felt that I was a very ordinary person, with no illustrious family background, no proud capital, and just barely making ends meet. However, as more and more clues surfaced, I realized that I was different from others.

However, the clues I have now in my hands will not solve any answer at all, but will make the mystery bigger and bigger. I believe that Zhao Sanyuan and Lu Fangding know more than I know, but I can't force them to speak.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered Xiao Mao. It's been a while since I came back from the old road of the Huyang River, and I don't know what Xiaomao's situation is now. I have Xiao Mao's phone number, but I don't want to call it all the time, because I feel that I am quite unlucky, and I will bring bad luck to others, and besides, Xiao Mao is a good person, and I don't want to cause trouble for him.

But now, all of a sudden, I really want to call him.

I took out my phone and dialed Xiaomao's number while drinking wine. His phone didn't turn off and was quickly connected.

When I heard Xiao Mao's voice, I finally felt at ease. I have already guessed that he is Lu Fangding's person, because Xiao Mao has been following Lu Fangding for a long time, has done a lot of things for Lu Fangding, and knows a lot of hidden secrets, so Xiao Mao feels that Lu Fangding may be killed. However, since the phone can be connected, it means that Xiao Mao is safe and sound.

After we exchanged pleasantries for a while, I was about to hang up the phone, which surprised Xiaomao.

"Is it okay?"

"It's okay, it's really okay." I said to Xiao Mao from the bottom of my heart: "To be honest, I've been worried about you, and I'm afraid that it will be fine, but I will find something for you when I call, so ...... I drank some wine today, thinking about what happened last time on the old road of the Huyang River, I couldn't hold it back, and I wanted to make a phone call to see if you are safe now, and if you are fine, I will be relieved. ”

"Your words warmed my heart." Xiao Mao smiled on the other side of the phone and said, "What can I do, but you, you have more business than mine." You also know, I'm just an errand boy, maybe sometimes I do things for the boss, and I understand some of the situation, but I definitely won't know too much, if you have something, just talk about it, I can't help a lot, and I will try my best to do a small favor. ”

Xiao Mao is very sincere, he has said everything here, if I push it back and forth, it will seem a bit hypocritical.

"Then I'll ask you a place to see if you know."

"You say."

"Taal Lake, do you know this place?"

After hearing my question, Xiao Mao didn't reply immediately, I didn't know what was wrong with him, and I didn't dare to ask casually. After two minutes, Xiao Mao spoke: "I thought about it before, this place, maybe you will know sooner or later." ”

"How?"

"Taal Lake, I know, not only know, but also be."

Xiao Mao's hunch was right, no matter how complicated and bizarre the process of learning about Ta'er Lake, I still knew this place.

In fact, since Xiao Mao received the task from his boss, took me step by step from Hu'er to the old road of the Huyang River, and then led me to dig out the ancient caravan buried under the desert, he had this premonition. Xiao Mao is not stupid, he can feel that the old road of the Huyang River, the ancient city of Chepan, and Ta'er Lake, these places are actually in the same line, if I persevering along this line to find and trace, then sooner or later I will find Ta'er Lake.

"Xiao Mao, can you tell me about Ta'er Lake?" I still clearly remember that Xiao Mao was injured very lightly, and in the end he was lucky to come out alive from the old road of the Huyang River, I want to know about Ta'er Lake, but I don't want Xiao Mao to be embarrassed, especially I don't want him to be implicated because of these: "I'll tell you the truth, this matter, if you can say it, you can say it, you can't say it, I don't ask a word, I know each other's difficulties." ”

"There's nothing I can't say, the last time I came back from the old road of the Huyang River, the boss didn't break his promise, and I don't follow him anymore." Xiao Mao smiled on the phone again and said, "My injury is not completely healed, so I want to recuperate for a while, and when it heals, I am thinking about opening a small restaurant." ”

Xiao Mao talked for a while, and then turned the topic to Ta'er Lake.

Ta'er Lake is far from the mainland, and once upon a time, it was a large natural lake. In the desert Gobi, where there is water, there will be oases and life. In the Tang Dynasty, the Turkic people who lived in the water and grass left a record of this lake.

If the situation is normal, Ta'er Lake, which is rich in water and grass, will definitely become the place where the city-state or even the country rises, but from ancient times to the present, there has been no permanent population around Ta'er Lake.

Because the situation of Ta'er Lake itself is rather bizarre, this lake may have water this year, with the lake as the center, forming an oasis of several areas, but after a few years, the lake will dry up. The dry state may last for a decade or twenty, or even longer. The oasis has no water and becomes a place of death, and even those who have made their home here are forced to leave.

However, twenty or thirty years after the lake has dried up, there is water again, and if the water continues for a while, it will dry up again. And so on and so forth, there is no pattern to speak of.

There is no way to settle down on such a lake, and when it has water, it has settled here, and as soon as it settles down, it has no water, and all the efforts it has worked on before have to be in vain.

Xiao Mao went to Ta'er Lake five years ago, and it was a team led by his boss at that time, with a large number of people and equipment. Before arriving at Ta'er Lake, Xiao Mao didn't know where the destination of the operation was, his boss organized the team to act, sometimes it was to find goods, sometimes it was to do some inexplicable things, before the action, the boss would not tell anyone the location and purpose of the operation, even if it was a person he cited as a confidant, he would not confide a word, Xiao Mao knew the rules of the boss, never asked, however, his heart is more careful, and sometimes, you can judge one or two from some materials and equipment prepared before the team set off.

In that operation, Xiao Mao felt that they were going to work in a place where there was water, because there were several sets of old-fashioned scuba in the equipment prepared in advance.

Along the way, the boss himself was guiding the direction, he said a section, everyone walked a section, until it was only a few kilometers away from Ta'er Lake, and the people in the team did not know where the location of this operation was.

When they arrived at Ta'er Lake, there was water in Ta'er Lake, but it was very little, only about one-tenth of the normal lake water, and the water was still scattered, gathering in a few low-lying places in the lake.

"The team brought scuba, which means that they are ready to go into the water, is they looking for something? Or fishing for something? ”

"I don't know." Xiao Mao said: "I didn't lie to you, until now, I don't know what the ultimate purpose of that operation is, but that one ......"

"That time, what's wrong?"

"Do you remember what I told you at the old road of the Poplar River? I said, show you the way, this is the last time I will do things for the boss, and when I am done, I will be free, but I may also be killed by the boss. ”

"Yes, I remember."

"I've always felt like I'm going to be killed by my boss because of that Ta'er Lake experience."
