I thought that Elder Yang would put forward some harsh conditions, but I didn't expect him to put forward such a condition to kill the man in black, damn it, this guy is too unkind, right? In order to surrender to us, he even wants to kill his own accomplices!

Ah Jiu said angrily: "Old bastard, don't fucking fool us, what kind of fucking conditions is this?" ”

Yang Lao snorted: "If you can't do it, this matter is not negotiable." ”

Ah Jiu was about to speak, but the knife gestured to shut him up, and then said, "Promise you, but I need the information of those men in black." ”

"Little bosses, do you really think those guys are in the same league as me?" Yang Lao suddenly became anxious and shouted, "Damn, do you think the old man is willing to fight against you Siberian Tigers when he is full?" ”

"What do you mean?" Ah Jiu asked puzzled.

Yang Lao found a stone to sit on it, sighed and said, "Alas, it's a shame to say it, but when the matter comes to this, it's useless for the old man to hold back." To tell you the truth, I don't know where those men in black came from, they found me three months ago, these people are very powerful, they have found out my old case records before, and threatened me to exchange something with them. ”

"Exchange for something? What does all this have to do with us? Why do they want to get rid of us? I asked.

Yang Lao shook his head: "Listen to me first, what they started asking for was that dragon scale boy tiger, my life is in their hands, so I can only hand it over to them." ”

"What? You gave them the dragon scales and the tiger? So what's that one you showed me? "I suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"The one I showed you was a copy of me." Yang Lao said: "Actually, there are some things, I lied to you, the cipher text on the dragon scale Tonghu is not Guo Gong's cipher at all, and the characters recorded in the text are not Emperor Mu Tuoba Yilu." ”

Originally, I was only interested in my father, and as for who the tomb owner was in the ciphertext, it didn't matter to me at all, and I didn't react much when I heard this. However, Ah Jiu and they are inverted after all, knowing the identity of the tomb owner is of great help to them, hearing Yang Lao's words, Ah Jiu suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Damn, what do you mean?" ”

Unexpectedly, a rare nervousness miraculously appeared on the knife's calm face, but this look was fleeting, and he instantly returned to calm.

Yang Lao sighed and said, "Since the dragon scale Tonghu I showed you is fake, then the matter of Emperor Mu Tuoba Yilu visiting the Queen Mother of the West is also fake. ”

I smiled helplessly: "What's the use of you making up a fake story to deceive me?" I don't care who this tomb is, as long as it has something to do with tiger tattoos, I will find a way to get in."

Yang Laoyi waved his hand to interrupt me: "I didn't make up this story for you, at that time, the man in black told me that Li Guodong was dropped by someone, and asked me to find a way to get rid of him, I am not sure if this thing is true, I can only make up the story of Emperor Mu, because I once told Lao Fan, Li Guodong and Liu Wei about the content of the ciphertext, and then I and you told the content has nothing to do with the ciphertext, after you left, Lao Fan and Liu Wei secretly asked me about the ciphertext, but Li Guodong didn't ask me." The things recorded in the ciphertext are very tempting, and those who have heard it for the first time, if the content of what I say changes the second time, they will definitely ask me what is going on, but only Li Guodong did not come to ask me, which proves that he is the first time to know about the ciphertext, so the story of Emperor Mu that I made up for you is just to verify the authenticity of Li Guodong at that time. ”

I glanced at the knife, and said in my heart that people would see through you at that time, and you played Li Guodong really hard.

Xiao Dao remained silent, it seemed that Yang Lao's conspiracy had nothing to do with him, and he just asked lightly: "We have agreed to your conditions, we want to know the real content of the ciphertext." ”

Yang Lao took a breath and said the true record of the ciphertext: the author of the ciphertext is a Western Han man named Zhenshuo, who claims to be able to penetrate the ancient and modern times, and has the ability to interpret river maps and translate Luo Shu. It is recorded in the text that Zhenshuo found that there was a huge gold mine in the northern section of Daxianbei Mountain, Baiyi ancestral land, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned about it and thought it was a fallacy, because the Western Han Dynasty was full of gold at that time, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not believe that there was such a large gold mine in the land of barbarians. In order to prove his inference, Zhenshuo did not hesitate to travel a long distance to find the gold mine, but the gold mine was not found, but he found a strange underground tomb called Huo Dexuan Palace! Buried inside, legend has it that a cannibal demon came out of hell, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a hideous face, which is the king of fresh wheels. It is stated that whoever offends the Fire Dexuan Palace will be angry with the King of the Fresh Wheel and will be burned by the fire of hell. In the Huode Xuan Palace, Zhenshuo also met another person, this person called himself Gaxian, riding a tiger, he told Zhenshuo that this was originally an ancient gold mine, the Western Zhou Dynasty descended, there was a person who claimed to be the Queen Mother of the West drove a divine bird to this place, saying that his country was plagued by the swords of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and was plundered by King Mu of Zhou countless gold and silver, the Queen Mother planned to cast a gold pool to sacrifice to the sky, and there was no gold and silver in the bitter country, so he wanted to exchange the immortal medicine Qiong Jelly Yulu for gold mines. Ga Xian then allowed it, exchanged the gold ore for a bottle of elixir jade dew, and drank it to become an immortal. However, the gold mine leads to hell, and after the gold mine is dug up, the king of the fresh wheel who comes out of hell does all kinds of evil, and says that his descendants will plunder the world's gold, silver and jewels, and eat up the greedy people in the world. In order to suppress the King of Fresh Wheel, Gaxian could only stay in Xuangong, exhaust the immortal law, and finally trap the King of Fresh Wheel.

Gaxian told Zhenshuo that anyone who entered the Fire Dexuan Palace would be burned by the fire of hell, and only by drinking the elixir and jade dew would they be spared. So Zhen Shuo asked for a drop of elixir jade dew from Gaxian, and walked out of the Huode Xuan Palace unscathed, and then Zhen Shuo was grateful to Gaxian and tattooed a tiger on his chest, which means that he will never forget the Gaxian who rode a tiger.

This ciphertext record sounds like a mythical story, but since it is recorded in ciphertext, it means that this incident is a real thing that was not accepted by the society at that time, and the ancients liked to put unexplained mysterious events into the power of the gods, and wanted to restore the real events at that time, if the person concerned did not tell us in person, it is estimated that it is absolutely impossible to restore the facts. But the end of the story attracted all my thoughts, if Yang Lao didn't lie to me this time, then the origin of my family's generations of tiger tattoos would have been found, and Gaxian said that after drinking the elixir and jade dew, he would not be afraid of being burned by the fire of hell, which may refer to the Guan family's "ghost sorrow" physique, if this is really the case, then Dad will inevitably enter the Huo Dexuan Palace this time to find out.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered another thing, and I couldn't help but ask, "Since what you told me before was false, is your speculation about the temple at the bottom of the lake true?" ”

Yang Lao squinted his eyes and smiled: "That's all to fool you and trick you." However, I think it must be a sacrificial temple, and that doesn't lie to you. ”

I nodded, and then asked, "Did you lie to me that the man in black was also instigating?" ”

Yang Lao shook his head: "No, the man in black didn't know about your existence at that time, but from your experience, I deduced that you have a 'ghostly and sorrowful' physique, and if you want to enter the Huode Xuangong, you must rely on you, so I tried every means to link the lake bottom temple with the Huode Xuangong to lie to you." ”

I smiled to myself, and said in my heart that this old fox can really make it up, thanks to a knife halfway through, otherwise I would have been sold this time and stupid to help people count the money. However, Yang Lao was a little wrong, that is, the Lake Bottom Temple did not have nothing to do with the Huo De Xuan Palace, otherwise Dad would not have gone to the Lake Temple first, and then looked for the Huo De Xuan Palace.

Xiaodao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said coldly: "Old man, the information you said, my Guan Ye has already mastered it, and what I want to know is what Guan Ye has not mastered." ”

Yang Laoyin smiled and said, "You treat me as a three-year-old child? If I had revealed all the information to you before I got it, you would have killed people a long time ago. For the rest, I have to see you Guan Ye before talking. Now, I can also give you some benefits, the cipher text records that there is a Shinto Road leading to the Fire Dexuan Palace, and there is a tiger god guarding the Shintoku, I think the tiger god may be these two stone statues, and that Shinto should be this dry river. ”

When Ah Jiu heard this, he immediately slapped his face and said, "Little knife, could it be that what Guan Ye said said was that you can find him by following the divine way, is it referring to walking along this river?" ”

Xiaodao nodded: "If Elder Yang didn't deceive us, then the Divine Dao that Guan Ye said should be here." ”

Yang Lao hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I definitely didn't lie to you this time." ”

"But Guan Ye didn't leave any marks or hints, should we go up against the river, or go down along the river?" Ah Jiu looked around, a little puzzled.

Xiaodao said: "The burial scripture says that when you meet the mountain, you will stop when you meet the water, and the ancient tomb should not be downstream." ”

I said not necessarily, the "Book of Burial" was written by Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty, and that Zhenshuo was from the Han Dynasty, at least more than 200 years older than Guo Pu, how could the tomb at that time be based on the theory of the "Book of Burial"? Besides, at that time, this was an ethnic minority area, and it was impossible for ethnic minorities to be buried according to the customs of the Han people!

Xiao Dao glanced at me and said, "Xiao Guan Ye, don't say impossible to what you don't believe, there is nothing too absolute in the world." Although the "Book of Burial" was written by Guo Pu, there was a theory of feng shui as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and Guo Pu just compiled the theories of his predecessors into words and recorded them. All creations are not made up out of thin air, and all legends are not groundless. With that, he picked up his backpack and walked up the river first.

I was a little stunned by what he said, Ah Jiu came up and pushed me, and I reacted, followed behind their butts, and couldn't help but think about the words of the knife, and nodded secretly.

On both sides of the dry river channel are dense thickets of artemisia grass more than one person high. The river beach is full of pebbles of all sizes, and it is particularly difficult to walk, but fortunately there are piles of artemisia here, but it has become a forbidden place for the big grass mosquitoes, otherwise the long night will be even more difficult.

After walking for a while, it is not difficult to find that every few tens of meters, there is a stone statue on both sides of the river, we went up to take a look, and the same as the touch we saw before, and then encountered a lot, we lost interest and did not look more. Because of the existence of these stone statues, which are very similar to the stone statues on both sides of the Shinto in the emperor's mausoleum, we are more sure that this river is the Shinto, so we can't help but speed up our pace.

As I walked, I felt that something was wrong, because this valley was so quiet, it was a strange quiet, it was a little hairy, and I didn't know if it was a psychological effect or what, I always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at us in the artemisia grass, and in the depths of the surrounding leaves.

At this moment, the knife in front of me suddenly stopped, and I was completely startled. I saw the knife look at the artemisia grass on the left, and his brow furrowed.

I was shocked, Knife was the most calm of the bunch, and if his face changed, it proved that he must have found something he couldn't accept.

After watching for a long time, the knife slowly walked towards the artemisia grass, and none of us made a sound, and followed him nervously, surprisingly, Gege was also very cautious.

The knife slowly pushed through the artemisia grass, revealing the stone statue hidden inside, this stone statue had been disconnected from the cornerstone and fell to the ground, the shape and characteristics were the same as those we saw before, the only difference was that I hissed and took a breath of cold air, I saw that there were many heads and skeletons scattered under the stone statue, some of which had been crushed by the stone statue.

Ah Jiu leaned down and looked at it for a long time, and said in a low voice: "These skeletons are not stone carvings, they are all real, you see, the skull is black and calcified, and it is obvious that it has been burned by someone." ”

At this time, the knife unexpectedly suddenly looked at the woods outside the artemisia bushes, and we all followed his gaze, and we were all stunned for a while.

I saw that in the woods outside the artemisia grass, there were many heads and skeletons hanging on the branches of each tree, and the skeletons swayed back and forth in the wind, as if they were like wind chimes made of human heads, weird and demonic.
