After going ashore in Fuzhou, he did not stay, Tianxiang took his people, went back to Yunnan directly, and when he left, he gave me a wrench, which was brought out in the tomb group, and it should not be a substandard product. My senior brother and I also went back to Hebei directly, An Tong and Ma Tianming went back to Chengde directly, and the senior brother did not go back with them, but stayed at my home in Shijiazhuang for one night.

It was really refreshing to return home, the whole person's mood was completely different, I rested for two days on the boat and on the way back, and the injuries on my body were also simply treated, although I was still a little tired, but there was no major problem. At home, the elder brother helped me to re-treat the wounds, although they were not serious, but there were too many injuries, and I didn't know how to cause some of them.

It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and it was the time for the news broadcast, I was sitting in front of the TV watching the news, and the senior brother came over and said, "Xiao Qi, I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

When I saw that the senior brother was going to talk to me about something, I immediately turned off the TV, "Senior brother, do you have something to say?" ”

The senior brother turned on the TV again and said, "Don't be the senior brother, the senior brother has called me, just call me as before." ”

"That's not good, you are not only my senior brother now, but also the head of our Faqiumen, and you are also my boss, you can't call you like that, besides, you can't let me call you boss, right? Although this title is good and shows status, it will alienate our feelings. Tell me, brother, what's the matter? "When I was very young, I always laughed at the name of the senior brother, and always thought that the name Xuehong should be called by a girl, so I used to be ignorant, and I always called the senior brother Xiaohong girl, but this title has never been called since I was 15 years old, in fact, I just don't want to call him the boss, I always feel weird to call it.

"Whatever you want, you can call it whatever you want." As he spoke, he took out the bronze triangular wrapping bell I had given him from his jacket pocket. Then he said, "Do you know what this bell is for?" ”

I shook my head and replied, "I don't know what this bell is for, but I can feel that this bell must have something to do with Fa Qiumen. ”

"Yes, this bell has a lot to do with Faqiumen, 8 years ago I saw someone holding this bell to the master, and there is also such a bell in the master's drawer, and you have seen the person who gave the bell."

"Who is it?" I hurriedly asked.

"It's the boss of Tianxiang, Tian Tianli came to the master with a bell at that time, and talked in the house all night, but I don't know what exactly to talk about, and the next day, the master decided to go to sea with him, that is, the time when the master disappeared. But before leaving, the master told me something and told me never to let the people of Fa Qiu Men crack the secret of the bell again. ”

"That is to say, the master only went to sea because of this bell, why don't you let us know the secrets in the bell?" I was puzzled, so I asked suspiciously.

"This master didn't say it, but it is certain that the master had planned for the worst before going to sea, and the master gave me everything about the pawnshop, and also handed over the genealogy of Faqiumen to me, and now that I think back, the master was ready not to come back at that time."

"You mean, before the master went, he knew that he couldn't come back. So why did he go? This doesn't make sense, knowing that Lu Dao will die, but still going, isn't that tantamount to suicide? ”

"Actually, this is also a problem that has always bothered me, and it is difficult for me to understand why the master is doing this. So I've been sending people to check for the past few years, until half a year ago, someone brought the news of this bell. ”

"What's the news? Is there a clue to the master? I asked a little anxiously, after all, the master treated me like his own son.

"A bad piece of news, someone recognized the bell as a token, used by the Tigers to keep important information internally. But this person can't decipher the mystery, and this person died mysteriously the next day, and the three people I sent to Lu after his death also disappeared one after another. It wasn't until Tianxiang brought the owner of the ship that I really realized that the Tigers had always existed, but in a different way, and they were no longer in the light, making people mistakenly think that this organization was no longer there, and they had been secretly watching all the tomb robbers. On the surface, everything is fine, but if he touches the secret of the Tigers, then this person will definitely die. The people who chased and killed the owner of the ship should have been the members of the Tigers. ”

"In this way, the people who want to kill the master are also the members of the Tiger Regiment." I was immediately very confused, and then said, "They are also tomb robbers, why should they kill their peers? What kind of interests will it be that will make them do this? ”

"You may only know the Tiger Regiment in ancient times, but you only know the legend of the Dao, but you don't know the real Tiger Regiment. When the master uncle was alive, he told me that in ancient times, the Tiger Regiment was indeed crazy about robbing tombs for the emperor's military salary, and the people recruited by the emperor were all equipped with unique skills, and the leader of the Tiger Regiment was even more superb. Legend has it that the leader has the eyes of heaven to see the soul of people, and he always wears a ghost charm on his body, and with the ghost charm, he can enter the underworld at night to borrow ghost soldiers from the king of Hades. But then, I don't know what happened, and the Tigers no longer robbed tombs, as if they had discovered something, or rather their conscience had discovered, and they were unwilling to do this immoral thing anymore, but were still protecting some tombs. The Tiger Regiment began to slowly move away from the tomb robbers, and drew a clear line with the tomb robbers, becoming a tomb robber and a tomb guard rivals, this matter can be best reflected in the warlord era, at that time some warlords were also for military salaries, gathered a lot of tomb robbers, to rob tombs to get things, to solve the military salary. However, the Tigers did everything they could to obstruct it, and did not hesitate to confront the warlords, and began to assassinate the tomb robbers who had joined the warlords. As a result, the Tigers were also wiped out, and the warlords sent troops to encircle and suppress the members of the Tigers, and pursued them for several years until the Tigers completely disappeared. It is also said that the LTTE joined the other warlords to take revenge on the warlord who had been chasing them, which eventually led to a melee between the warlords. ”

"Damn, let's say so, the warlord melee started because of the Tiger Regiment, and the culprit who caused the destruction of life was the Tiger Regiment, which is also too exaggerated." I then said analytically: "If it is a conscience finding, then they don't have to assassinate those tomb robbers, they just don't go to the tomb robbery, and there is no need to stop others." I think they must have discovered something, and they didn't want to be discovered by others, or they didn't want to be destroyed by others. ”

"Maybe what you say makes sense, but that's not the point, the point is that I don't know where there will be a pair of eyes peeking at us." The elder brother rolled from side to side out of the corner of his eye, and then said: "We seem to be living in freedom, but in fact we are not free, we have gone too smoothly in the past 8 years, and the smoothness is a little too much. In our line of work, it is impossible to be so smooth, and it is impossible to lose nothing. But the truth is that every time we go to the grave before, we don't feel uneasy, until this time, we may have touched the secret of the Tigers, so we have become so difficult. ”

"You mean to say that in the past 8 years, someone has been secretly helping us, the tombs we went down in the past were carefully arranged, so this blood is too big, think about the fact that we have also made a lot of rare treasures in recent years, and the development to this day is completely dependent on the things brought out of the tomb, otherwise we would not have grown so fast."

"Maybe it's just to guide us and give us no time to touch their secrets. I'm telling you this tonight, not to let you investigate, but to tell you not to trust anyone from now on, including people in the company and some of my apprentices, as well as Tianxiang. "The eyes of the senior brother are very serious and firm.

"Do you think the people in the company are not safe now? That's why you're going to take people from outside to the Ghost Sea, right? ”

"Yes, I don't know which person is reliable now, in order to avoid being calculated, it is better to use as little people as possible. Of course, there are some tasks that can also be given to them, just don't take them alone. ”

I nodded, still a little incredulous, some of the people around me have known each other for more than 10 years, how can they be from the Tiger Regiment. Senior Brother continued: "Xiao Qi, if I encounter an accident one day, or if I am also missing, you must hold up the signboard of Faqiumen, don't let others take advantage of it, and you can't hand it over to the juniors below, you must control it in your own hands." This is what has been preserved by many generations after thousands of years of painstaking management, and it must not be destroyed in the hands of our generation. Having said all this, I hope you can understand that the road will always have to be walked by yourself in order to appreciate the scenery of the road. It's not early, go to bed early, I'll go to bed first. With that, he got up and walked to the bedroom without looking back.

I looked at the back of the senior brother with a solemn face, and knew that his heart was also very entangled at this time, and he had prepared for the worst, and he was not reminding, but a meaningful explanation. But I still didn't understand the last sentence.

With the TV turned off, I went back to my bedroom to get ready for bed, but the night was too much for me. Thinking back to what he said, I couldn't sleep, and I tossed and turned all night. I took out the bronze triangle wrapped bell I kept, looked at it carefully, and didn't find any mystery in it, it didn't look like it could write, and there was nothing sticking to it. However, the elder brother said that there was important information that had been passed on or preserved here, but no matter how you looked at it, it was difficult to find anything special.

Actually, I'm not afraid, the so-called organization of the LTTE, after all, they are also human beings, and if they are human, they have weaknesses, and if they have weaknesses, they are not invincible, so I don't think the LTTE is terrible, but it turns out that I underestimated the LTTE.

What worries me the most is that if I don't think about the words of the elder brother after the last words, if I just understand the last part of the conversation, then it is not an explanation, it is more like a will, what he wants to say to me for what is going to be said, and what is going to be missing for him, this question bothered me all night.
