The "Jade of the Living Dead" in our hands, according to the inscription of the Elephant Kingdom, is a sacred object, which hides the biggest secret in the world, and can make people obtain "eternal life" in the true sense. The Unsolved Mysteries Research Institute used "light transmission technology" to discover that there was a mysterious ancient script hidden in this jade. And this ancient text is the key to "eternal life". But when we translated this ancient text, we found that it was not about "eternal life", but about a conjoined baby......

We don't know what kind of "causal relationship" there is between two unrelated things, "conjoined babies" and "eternal life". I don't know what principle this ordinary stone relies on to make people immortal. But the country of no elephant is a country of science, and it never believes in "ghosts, gods, Buddhas and demons". And just when our clues were about to be broken, an ancient painting I had obtained from the tomb of Aunt Braided once again guided us to the next part of our journey......

The old man's words made us suddenly, and the "people, dragons, fish and ghosts" in the ancient paintings represent "wind, stone, water and soil" respectively. The "soil" mentioned in the painting refers to the ancient tomb of the earthen kiln in Lulong, Hebei. As for where "water" and "wind" refer, even the old man did not know. But the "dragon" in the ancient painting, we can be sure that the place it refers to is 100% "Qinling Mountains".

The Qinling Mountains have been known as "the world's first feng shui treasure land" since ancient times, and the fundamental reason is precisely because if the entire mountain range is looked down from a high place, it looks like a lifelike "five-clawed golden dragon!" And the ancient painting I got from the tomb of Aunt Braid, the totem in the upper right corner is a "five-clawed golden dragon!" ”

With this clue, we have found a treasure. Because I had saved the little fat man's life, the tension with the old man had eased considerably, and I extended another invitation to him to go with us to the Qinling Mountains to find the whereabouts of the second piece of jade of the living dead. But the old man just smiled and told us to be safe, and said no more.

Zhou Boren shook his head at me and asked me to give up persuasion, since Lao Lu stabbed him and fled with money, he was already disheartened and didn't want to pay attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes anymore. In his later years, he only wished that his children and grandchildren would be around his knees, and this life would be enough.

The seven-day time limit that Zhou Boren promised me had arrived, and I knew that it was impossible to invite the old man out of the mountain, but when the three of us walked to the gate of the hospital and were about to get into the car, I suddenly remembered something, so I asked Zhou Boren to wait for me for another ten minutes, and I would come as soon as I went.

When I returned to the ward, the old man was surprised to see that I had returned, and asked me if I had left something behind. I shook my head, said no, and then said to him solemnly, "Old man, once again I sincerely invite you to join the Unsolved Mysteries Institute!" ”

The old man smiled faintly and said: "When you sing about wine, life is geometric, such as morning dew, and there are many hardships in the past." Fame and fortune are empty, and life and death are only based on happiness. I only sit in front of the flowers when I wake up, hehehe, I hope my old man can still sleep when he is drunk...... Go, young man, don't persuade me anymore, my old man has made up his mind, and he will not go out of the mountain again, but he only wishes to die at home and enjoy the joy of poverty. ”

I stood there in silence, slowly took out my phone, flipped over a photo, and handed it to the old man. The old man frowned, took the phone, stared at the photo for a few seconds, and then looked stunned. "This ...... This is?! ”

I sighed, "This is what I shot." Lao Lu drank too much that day, and he was bare-chested and singing mountain songs, so I saw this scar on his arm. After he stabbed you that day, in remorse, he also stabbed himself in the same position, old man, Lao Lu said to me that in order to save his little granddaughter, he never regretted anything he had done, and the only thing he regretted was hurting you. ”

The old man stared at the photo, his eyes moistened. I walked to the door of the ward and left the last sentence: "Tomorrow I will leave Qinhuangdao, the road to Qinling is unknown, the second piece of living dead jade will not be put in the sauna waiting for me to pick it up, it must be in some terrible ancient tomb." You've got a night to think about it, old man. Whether to help me or continue to enjoy your poverty, you can see for yourself. ”

After saying this, I left the old man's hospital room without looking back. I've done all the work I need to do, and the only thing left to Providence is to leave it to Providence......

Early the next morning, the six members of our Unsolved Mysteries Institute were ready to go, and there was still an empty seat on the seven-seater buggy, which was reserved for the old lad. But he still didn't choose to join us. Zhou Boren patted me on the shoulder, smiled comfortingly at me, and signaled that we couldn't wait any longer for the old man, and it was time to go. I nodded, and set out on my journey to the Qinling Mountains......

The thirteen-hour drive, with me and Er Biao in charge of mediating the atmosphere, was not so boring. I, Mo Laosan, almost used my life's learning, and along the way, I was foaming at the stars, and even the always serious and deep Zhou Boren was amused by me, not to mention Er Biao, Pudding and Uncle Lao Yang, they were all about to die with laughter. But Gu Nianxia, who was sitting in the last row, didn't smile once, and she was very serious, exactly the same as when my fourth aunt went to the supermarket to grab cheap oil.

But I found an interesting thing, although Gu Nianxia is cold, he doesn't smile, and he doesn't like my jokes, but he is particularly interested in supernatural stories. I added fuel and vinegar to the whole process of me and Pudding Lao Lu going to rob the "Braided Aunt's Tomb" in the car, and Gu Nianxia frowned several times, and stopped talking.

However, what I never expected was not Gu Nianxia's reaction, but Zhou Boren's reaction. As the director of the Institute of Unsolved Mysteries, he Zhou Boren didn't even believe that there were ghosts in this world! This really surprised me, I thought to myself, even I have seen ghosts, you Zhou Boren should have been surprised a long time ago, right?

Zhou Boren said: "If you are referring to "ghosts" in a broad sense, I have seen it countless times, but every time it is a surprise, and there is a scientific theory behind it to explain. ”

I retorted, "If I was the only one who saw it, you could say I was talking nonsense, but all of us who went to the tomb that time saw it, how can you explain that?" Pudding is one of them, and if you don't believe her, you can ask her. ”

Zhou Boren smiled: "You said that you saw the ghost of "Braided Aunt" in the tomb of Braided Aunt, I think the reason is because of the long-term lack of oxygen in the tomb, and the portrait of Braided Aunt is everywhere, constantly giving you psychological hints, so that your brain has a kind of "resonance hallucination", which is a very common phenomenon. This is like a ghost story widely circulated in a certain village, which makes everyone plant a hint of "there are ghosts" in their hearts in advance, so under a certain coincidence, such as a cloudy day and rain, when lightning and thunder, a lightning bolt illuminates a certain "humanoid" object, then the whole village will say that they have seen a ghost, which is the so-called "resonance hallucination". ”

Zhou Boren continued: "The human skin puppet in the jade coffin can move, so it is better to explain. It's just a mechanism set up by someone, so why is it so difficult to control a puppet? Hehe......"

I frowned and said, "How do you explain the hair?" ”

Zhou Boren smiled: "Have you ever eaten hair cabbage?" ”

I was surprised: "Fa Cai? ”

Zhou Boren nodded and said: "That's right, hair cabbage is also called dragon mustache, which is a terrestrial algae of the Candida family of the Cyanobacteria phylum. This plant is exactly the same length as a woman's hair, and the tomb is dimly lit, so it's normal for you to be deceived. In the early years, the mountain people in Gansu had never seen fat cabbage, and people often called the police to say that they saw dead people buried in the ground, and their hair was exposed. When the police arrived at the scene, it turned out to be just a fat cabbage. ”

Pudding and I widened our eyes in astonishment and asked, "You mean there are no ghosts in the tomb of Aunt Braid?" ”

We couldn't help but wonder like this, but the next sentence of Zhou Boren almost suffocated us. He smiled coldly: "Hehe, whether there are ghosts or not, facts speak louder than words." Don't forget, the three people who died among you all died by self-immolation, not because of ghosts. ”
