Chapter 483: The Secret That Can't Be Said
I have known Guo Kan for so long, and in the memory of the priest, there will only be three expressions on Guo Kan's face: focused, proud, and crazy.
That is a person who maintains absolute pride no matter what difficulties he encounters, no matter what time he encounters.
But now, Guo Kan is like a lost dog, huge exhaustion and frustration linger between his eyebrows, even if he deliberately maintains the last trace of arrogance, but in those old eyes, there seem to be tears.
Guo Kan returned to the surface with Journalist, and he told Journalist that he was leaving, and everything here belonged to Journalist, including Guo Kan's research results over the years, and would also be given to Public.
Outside the window is like the sun at nine o'clock in the morning, and some of the sunshine bathed in the sun seem to be injected with abundant vitality.
Inside the window, there is Guo Kan with a gloomy face, and the priest who is at a loss.
One side is yang, the other side is yin, and the priest stands at the intersection of yin and yang.
He looked at Guo Kan in a daze, and after a long time, he said, "Why do you want to go?" ”
Guo Kan didn't allow him to speak, but he said it anyway, and it seemed that the sun could indeed quickly awaken his self-consciousness.
What's even more strange is that Guo Kan, who has always been super controlling, was not angry, he smiled helplessly: "You've been to Haishi, right?" ”
Journalist Duo still stared at Guo Kan sullenly, and did not respond.
Guo Kan asked him, "Do you know a person named Wu Lin?" ”
"Yes."
"I'm going to find him," Guo Kan covered his face painfully as he spoke: "He is right, my research over the years is meaningless at all." ”
In the puzzled eyes of the journalists, Guo Kan grabbed his handbag without saying a word and left without saying a word.
Journalist looked at his back, only stunned and numb in his heart.
I asked Priest why he didn't catch up.
Journalist sighed helplessly, saying that even if he had fully recovered his mind now, he was still extremely afraid of Guo Kan, and if Guo Kan was standing in front of him at this time, he might kneel directly on the ground and kowtow to Guo Kan.
As he spoke, Priest slowly closed his mouth and looked at me with a meaningful look.
I asked him what was wrong.
He said that he had almost told me everything he knew, not that he didn't want to be honest, but that he had to hold back, because no one could guarantee that I would kill him immediately when I dug out all the secrets in his head.
I told him that his greatest value to me was that he knew the terrain and could get me out of here, not how much he had in his head.
Priest said that, in order to preserve his value, he could not tell me the secret of the spiral ladder for the time being.
Damn, sure enough, these hundreds of years of Yangshou are not in vain, what an old fox.
Come on, since he wants to save his life, let's keep it, we are in a cooperative relationship now, and we can't force it too hard.
Then I asked him if he could tell me the secret of the spiral ladder, so he could always tell me why the prisoner had committed suicide.
But the priest said that he could not say anything now, because all the other information he knew was related to the secret of the spiral staircase.
Well, since you don't want to talk about it now, let's talk about it later, anyway, my main task right now is not to listen to your story.
As we spoke, we came to the secret chamber that was located next to the underground river vein.
It was a tunnel dug diagonally on the stone bank, and the entrance of the cave was completely wedged with stones, and if you wanted to enter it, you had to smash the stones directly.
Such a secret door is indeed extremely difficult to find, because this door does not seem to have been opened in the first place.
Looking at the dark hole, I couldn't help frowning: "What is hidden inside?" ”
Priest pouted meaningfully: "It's all things I don't want to face, I thought I would never have to see them again, but I didn't expect that one day, I would come back." ”
So saying, he shrank down and burrowed into the hole.
I thought there was something terrible hidden here, but when I came in, I found that in the narrow hall at the end of the tunnel, there was only a mess of furniture and tableware, and a cabinet with only three or four clothes on it.
Priest pulled out a few small wooden barrels from the corner, and said that they were filled with wine from the old manor, and the alcohol was very low, and it could be drunk as drinking water.
After saying these two words briefly, he quickly grabbed a piece of clothing and went outside to take a shower.
After he left, I went out to explore the small cave hall a few times, but found nothing.
It wasn't until the sound of splashing water outside stopped for a while that I went out with Yunsheng.
Priest had already changed into an old set of clothes of unknown century, and when he saw the two of us coming out, he grinned and gave us a twisted smile.
I felt that he was not embarrassed by the sight of the two of us, but because he didn't like the dress.
"Is this secret room used for groceries?" I asked the priest three or four meters apart.
Journalist smiled helplessly: "The contents are all left by my father, and for me, he is a memory that I can't face. ”
"So you sealed all his stuff? In order to ensure that they do not rot, moisture-proof measures are also specially made. ”
"After all, it is the property left by the ancestors, and it is a pity to throw it away." Journalist's face was a little twisted: "Let's go, I don't want to stay in this kind of place for a moment." ”
I don't know how much he doesn't want to see his own father, and when he spoke, he patted the clothes on his body hard, as if he wanted to scatter all the smell left by the old man.
I was anxious to find the token, and I didn't want to delay any longer, so I waved my hand at the priest and motioned for him to lead the way.
After guiding us away from the underground water veins, Priest found a natural tunnel that sloped downwards and continued on our way.
I heard that the token that Haiting asked us to find was probably Samita's true body, and the location of that thing should be deeper than the deepest part of the underground palace, because when he was digging the underground palace, he didn't dig up that thing.
I can't help but wonder how he knows that Sammy's true body is deep underground, and what Sammy's true body is.
Journalist did not know what Sammy's true body was, but Sammy did tell him that his true body was deep underground, and Journalist suspected that the reason why Sami specifically told him about this was to let him find this so-called true body.
I kind of understand, this guy also knows a little about the current situation, if he wasn't familiar with the road, for me, Ya would be a burden.
The deeper you go underground, the more naturally formed tunnels there are, which intersect with each other in a disorganized manner, making it easy to get lost, and even the priest sometimes has to stop to make his way.
I don't know how long I walked through this complex and chaotic tunnel network, but gradually, I noticed that there were some traces of artificial excavation in the tunnels, and Journalist said that seeing the traces of artificial construction meant that we were on the right track, but it also meant that we were getting closer and closer to Austin.
