"Of course, you and I both understand what this means!"

Elder Song turned back to everyone and said, "Everyone present should know that only one person in our clan can enter and exit the clan mausoleum in the past dynasties, and that person is the patriarch, and he is the only one who has the drawings of the clan mausoleum, but more than ten years ago, after the death of the old patriarch, this drawing also disappeared, and Lao Li and I both suspected that the murderer of the old patriarch was the one who took the drawings. ”

"This drawing is the only clue that can find out the mask of the god king, we have always thought that the murderer came for the mask of the god king in the clan tomb, but we searched all over the clan tomb for dozens of miles, but did not find any robbery holes, we thought that the murderer could not crack the drawings at all, so we gave up. But after so many years, they still came back, and ...... "glanced back at Elder Li again," and colluded with the clan to break into the clan mausoleum together. ”

I was a little surprised to hear his words, remembering that a few days ago, he was still strongly opposed, but now he happened to change his mind with Elder Li, and he actually supported us with all his might.

However, hearing him say this, the others also believed it a little, but Elder Li still insisted on taking a long-term view, first sending people into the robbery cave to find out whether the clan tomb had been excavated, and then make countermeasures.

Elder Song objected again and again, claiming that it was already burning his eyebrows, and he was afraid that the thieves would have to take things and leave later?

Now he is like the Elder Song a few days ago, if I hadn't heard his words before, I would definitely see him as a positive person who takes the overall situation into account.

Seeing the words of the people, Elder Li had no choice but to agree, but the problem was far more than that, because the outer walls of the clan tombs were made of extremely hard mountain stones, and they would not rot even after thousands of years, so the only way to enter and exit was through the twelve giant gates connected between the stone cracks.

The key to open this huge gate is made of extraterrestrial black iron, divided into five pieces, representing the land of the five directions - metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are held by the elders of the past generations.

In addition, the order of the distribution of these giant gates is also very interesting, and they are distributed according to the Heavenly Star Tibetan Sea Bureau, just like a small boat in the Milky Way, constantly changing over the years.

Among the twelve gates, only at certain times, can a door corresponding to the five elements be opened, but after entering, this door will also be constantly changing, and when you come out, you can only deduce the location of the door according to the star situation of the inner palace.

Therefore, if you are not familiar with the mysteries, it is difficult to get out even if you can get in, and there are various mechanisms built in the tomb, coupled with the deduction of the patriarchs of the past dynasties, there will be many variables.

If the deceased was alive, he had entered the tomb with the keys of the five elders and could have shown us the way, but now he is dead, and his water key is gone.

For a while, we didn't have any good way, so we could only put it on hold, but if we wanted a few of us to go to the tomb, the elders were also a little uneasy, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and it is inevitable that after going to the tomb, what evil thoughts do we move.

But if we want the elders to accompany us, they are not young, so we can only choose the right ones among the backers.

But after looking at it and looking at it, choosing and choosing, I felt that it was inappropriate, firstly, I was not good, and I was afraid that I would give up my life in the tomb, and secondly, I was afraid that if there was another person like Li, wouldn't it be a worse thing?

I really don't want to participate in the plans of that group of old men, we came all the way here, not to find someone, just for your little treasure?

When we haven't seen anything? In the ancient tombs of Yunnan, although I didn't see anything valuable, I was not a novice with little experience.

For the profession of tomb robbing, in fact, it is important to make money and profit, and everyone will have that kind of thought, because the more people like it, the more they will want to take what they like as their own.

But if you look at it lightly, it's like appreciating a painting, it's just a piece of paper and some paint, no matter how strong the historical atmosphere behind it, it's only for people to appreciate, that is, it has a texture like a napkin.

After exiting the house, Jiang Yuchen and Liu Ran and I sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, and there was a chess game in front of us.

There was nothing to do, so we passed the time and started playing chess.

It's a game that's popular in old age, but if you look closely, you'll find a lot of interesting ideas.

Before we knew it, it was already dark, and we received another message from the police station, questioning my involvement in the case on the one hand, and the police officer in charge of the case on the other hand, with rather harsh wording about the deceased.

Saying that we buried the body before the case was closed, misleading the case in the form of superstition, and intervening by improper means, ......

So, with sufficient reasons and excuses, the other party put all the blame on us and applied for an arrest warrant to try to take us away.

After a dispute, the responsibility fell to the family of the deceased, and the case was put on hold, leaving only a written report.

The matter was like that, but in the evening, Elder Li asked me what I had found, I hesitated to glance at Elder Song, and finally shook my head, "There are no clues, maybe it's really like what the Fire Dao people said, this is a disaster, or because of the ...... of the clan tomb."

I didn't finish my words, but the meaning was obvious, illegal intervention in the police, plus the matter was too weird, no one had the leisure to investigate further.

What's more, I am not related to the deceased, if I investigate, it should be his family, I just check out out curiosity.

There were two kinds of rhetoric from the Fire Daoist and Baizhou before, and Elder Li was also a little shaken, although he promised us, but after discussing it for a long time, he didn't decide who to let go with us.

Finally, at Elder Song's strong request, and in order to ensure our safety, we recommended another outsider to join - Yin Daochang.

Hearing this person, Baizhou frowned and decisively rejected such a suggestion, while the other elders also shook their heads at it.

Speaking of which, there is no result, the only thing that is certain is that the relationship between Elder Song and that Yin Dao Elder is not ordinary, but what puzzles me is their purpose.

It seems that this Elder Song should not be with Li Sansi, otherwise he would not agree to us going, and he would also hide the discovery of the thief cave.

Thinking about the various relationships, in fact, it is not difficult to believe why they can't make up their minds among the younger generations, it is very clear that these families are all at odds with each other, no one believes in anyone, but they also know that no one can do without anyone.

When I looked back, it was already the beginning of the lights, and the light of the night on the distant horizon was gradually pulling out, and it was a bustling city.

It's also a Ganges river, which isolates it from the outside world, and if you take a boat there, you can't go back to the peaceful mountains.

A few old people in the village would often tell their stories to the younger generations, and when the young people impatiently asked why we were like you when we were not as good as now, the old people shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

What is different is the world, although the place of life is different, but the thinking will never change, everyone's life is to reach the end.

But what's the end?

There are old people, weeping parents, and laughing children, but there is no bustling city.

At night, many people would go up the mountain and put Kong Ming lanterns to bid farewell to the deceased, and that night, when I looked up, the stars in the sky were hidden in the darkness.

The Kong Ming lanterns swayed in the sky, and the wind on the mountain was not strong, but it was enough to blow them far away.

In a remote corner, I saw Baizhou, after he put the lamp down, he sat alone, when the wind blew, I felt that he closed his eyes, as if it had become the wind in the night.

The light cast in the dark night illuminated the wooden expressions on people's faces, and the family of the deceased looked at the wind in silence, and the light in their hands flickered again.

Children are playing because they don't understand what it means, and maybe putting these lights on will become a happy memory of their childhood.

Liu Ran was also putting on the lamp, and I saw her writing her own name on the lamp, but when she was about to put it on, she changed it with a pen and wrote it as Liu Qingchun, and added a question mark at the end.

The person who looked at everyone at a loss like me was Jiang Yuchen, and I asked him, "Why don't you let it go?" Aren't there any deceased old people in the family? ”

He shook his head, "I don't know how to write it, I had a fight with him, and I swear I'll never think of him, so there's nothing to write about!" ”

"Is he?"

The other party gave me a blank look, "Why are you so gossipy?" Then again, aren't you also idle? Is it also worry-free? ”

I smiled bitterly, "Contrary to you, I have too many people to worry about, former roommates, classmates, teachers, people who help me, deans, Fa Xiao, people who play games together, and bosses, who have experienced life and death together, and even many people that I am not sure about now." ”

Look at the lamp that Liu Ran just let go, "Maybe I'll put it on the person who sent me the file!" ”

"Who is he?"

"Stranger, I was told by someone who tried to communicate with me, but he seemed to be very fond of the occult, so he never showed up."

Jiang Yuchen was confused when he heard it, "I heard you say that there are so many people, why don't you have any relatives?" ”

I patted him on the shoulder and replied with the first half of his sentence.

As we walked by, it was the eldest son of the deceased who gave us the lamp, and he told us not to put the lamp where we came, it would be troublesome.

I asked him why, and he looked at the city and then at his side, "People who walk like this can't see the distance, they only stay in place." ”

I nodded, took the two lanterns, stuffed one to Jiang Yuchen and said, "Everyone let it go, you are alone in a daze, don't you feel very unsociable?" ”

The other shrugged, but took it anyway, but only wrote his name on it, and then threw it at the city.

I also lit the lantern and asked Baizhou what he was thinking. The other person looked up at me and replied, "Before." ”

"What is there to think about here, the road is under your feet, just walk."

"Maybe too much has happened in the past few days, and even I feel tired!" As he spoke, he handed me the pen and said, "Tomorrow we may have to go to the tomb, this tomb is different from other places, and it is my master buried in it, and he should not like us to disturb him." ”

"That's your problem, you have to think that we are going to rob the tomb, and you think about it yourself, I don't think so, bother it or not, just like the bone sealers, they will also go in and out of the tomb, but the purpose is to interpret the untasted wishes of the deceased, as if to find an old man to talk to the world."

"I hope ......," he had just said this, I had already written a name, and when I let go of my hand, a gust of wind took the lantern away.

In the distance, the lamp turned into a star, like the eyes of the night, looking at every flower and grass in the world, and every name that was recorded.

Tonight's sorrow is destined to be long, for tomorrow our road will be longer, and at the beginning of this path a leaf of light rises out of the dark night's setting.
