It's the sixth night, and it's summer, and it's getting hotter, but it's better for chatting and listening to stories. What will my friend say today, I made two cups of tea early.?

I waited for a long time and didn't see him coming, and I was just about to look for him, but I found that he never came in, and the two almost bumped into each other.?

"What's the hurry?" My friend blamed, "I'm going to get something, this thing is very precious, and it would be a big sin for you to break it." ”?

"What is it, so expensive." I looked at his hand curiously, but I saw a black object the size of an egg, smooth as an agate, very beautiful. I couldn't help but touch it. He nimbly dodged away.

"Listen to me tell me about the origin of this thing first, and you won't be in a hurry to touch it after listening." He smiled mysteriously.?

"Okay, you say." I sat down happily and listened as I sipped tea.

"Last Christmas, I was alone in Shanghai. Suddenly I received a letter, beware, not an email. And the most puzzling thing is that the sender of this letter made me shudder when I read it.?

Because, this person named Shaida is clearly a friend of mine who died a few years ago.

Speaking of Shaida, I have to explain it to you. He was a paleologist. Note that I'm talking about the backer, not the exam. Because he lives exclusively by selling antiquities.?

Although it's a friend, it's not really true, and I've only had a few encounters with him. Because I've always despised this kind of person, but sometimes he always gets something that makes me curious, so I have to meet him a few times. And the last time I saw his corpse with my own eyes.

His death can be said to be an accident, or it can also be said to be a punishment for offending the gods. Because what he often sells is Buddha vessels.?

He accidentally fell to his death while digging a Buddha head. It wasn't just me, but three of his friends. We hastily disposed of his body. Called him to his wife. But it's weird. The surviving man did not seem sad at all, and she was very determined to save her husband, and we all thought she was overly sad at the time.

"What about the letter? What the hell are you talking about? ”?

"Why are you in a hurry? The letter was indeed written by Shayda, and I will not mistake his handwriting. I have always had the ability to remember people's characteristics, and even if I met him once, as long as I wanted to remember him, I would find that he was different from others. That's what Shayda's words are. Because these days, I am afraid that it is difficult to find people who are willing to write letters, and write with a brush.?

The letter was to the effect that he had met a miraculous thing, please don't be afraid, and the rest of the people also sent a letter, hoping that we would go to his house, a small city in Gansu Province to gather.

I don't remember their contact information, but I'm interested in the letter. So I packed my bags and went to that small city, and followed the address of the letter to Shayda's house.

To my surprise, this kid actually lives in a very gorgeous villa, although it is in the suburbs, but such a villa is estimated to be expensive.?

Soon a servant-like man received me and asked me to wait in the parlor. I was even more amazed by the living room, which was filled with the finest works of art from all eras. Wu Daozi's "Sending the Child to the Heavenly King", "Qingming Riverside Map" and Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Tower" and many other tablets, the official kiln porcelain of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The simulation of these fakes is very high, and it is estimated that it will cost a lot of money.

"I knew you were coming." As I was admiring the artworks, I heard a familiar voice.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still calmed down when I saw a person who died in front of me a few years ago now greeting me in high spirits.

Sheida is no longer the antiquities dealer I used to know. He wears a full suit and leather shoes, gold wire rimless glasses, and his large back, which is combed backwards, can be used as a light bulb in a room that is not lit. Only the great rosacea is the same as always.?

"I knew you were coming." Shaida seemed to be excited, and actually repeated it twice. I frowned: "Don't repeat, I can still hear clearly." ”?

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm so excited, do you think that a dead person can see an old friend again, do you say I can suppress it?" He came closer. I also saw the deep depression on the left side of his head downward. That should be the place where you fell back then.?

I held my hand up and shook it with him. Nothing special, just like an ordinary person. If I had to say anything, I felt that his palms were a little harder than ordinary people.?

"Tell me, what's going on. I'm busy, and I don't want to look up to you all the time. I said half-jokingly.?

Xie Yida's face was a little unnatural, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he immediately returned to normal. "Sure enough, it's still an old temper, since you're direct, I won't hide it. Let's go upstairs and talk. With that, he led me to his study.

If the artwork in the hall is a fake. The study is like a museum. Most of them I can't name, but I can feel their unique souls. Good antiquities have souls.?

"You must be surprised, but you're good, those fools are either too scared to come, or they don't believe it ignorantly. You're the only one here, and I'm glad I didn't see anyone wrong. Xie Yida looked at me from the sofa with a confident expression. To be honest, I hate his self-confidence.?

"Actually, I was able to survive thanks to my wife." Shayda narrated slowly, his tone a little desolate.

"Of course, I wouldn't have survived without that legendary artifact." I looked at him and felt an unknown force in his body.

"When you called my body to my wife, she didn't bury it. Instead, he used what little savings I had to freeze me. I went alone to find the treasure that would bring me back from the dead. ”?

"Odd Treasure?" I asked, confused, and then my mind was like a high-speed computer, and that was the only thing that could bring people back to life in thousands of years of legend.

"Rejuvenation incense!" I said it almost at the same time as him.?

"Impossible." I immediately denied it, "That kind of thing is just a legend, saying that the rejuvenating incense recorded in history is not so effective, at best it is just a medicine to remove saprophytic muscles and treat serious diseases." 'Rejuvenating incense. Si Lingwu also, the fragrance smells hundreds of miles, the dead body is on the ground, and the smell is alive' is an exaggeration of the ancients. ”?

"Hmph, I thought you would believe you if you were so knowledgeable, but you were as ignorant as those mediocre people." Xie Yida sneered, "If that's a legend, then how did I come back to life?" ”?

"Cut, God knows, maybe you didn't die at all, but it was just a temporary fainting, and a severe brain injury can easily lead to suspended animation, which is not uncommon in the history of medicine."

Shayda looked at me with a cold look in his eyes that I had only seen on a dead body. "I'm here to help me, not to listen to you talk about medicine! Since you don't believe it, I have to come up with evidence to save you from being verbose, but you'd better be mentally prepared. With that, he stood up and walked to the bookcase in the corner of the room.

"Come on, but don't regret it since you're in." After saying that, he walked in on his own.

The darkness represents the unknown, and I was a little scared, but curiosity prevailed. Although I was lucky enough to survive, I don't regret it, because after all, I got a treasure that only appears in legends.

It was a very long passage, almost two hundred meters away, and it was lit with very old wall lamps, for I knew that rust would not be formed in some time. The passage is dry, which surprised me because this is a very rainy season area, and it is not easy to stay dry at such a depth.

After walking through the passage, we came to a very open fan-shaped room. The room is surrounded by stone walls, carved with a lot of pictures, unfortunately I am not very proficient in archaeology, I only know that at least it should be before the Tang Dynasty, because the costumes and painting methods of the characters are very different from the Tang Dynasty's elegant and plump painting style.

Shaida walked to the middle of the room and lit a Qibao lamp. Then start undressing. I asked him what he was doing, but he didn't say a word, and he was stripped naked. And then turned around.?

When I saw his body, I realized what the evidence was for what he had just said. Because only the vertebrae of his upper body were left from the chest down, and there were still a few strands of flesh like rags hanging on them. The left foot is also severely decaying. This is definitely not something that the person who came back to life after faking his death can show.

"Enough, get dressed, I look like I'm throwing up." I turned my face and waved at him. By the time I turned around, Shaida was already dressed and looked like no one else. He looked at me with a smile as if he was laughing at my stupidity.

"What the hell do you want me to do?"?

"It's simple, I need an assistant to go again**!" Xie said firmly. (It's troublesome to write the name, hereinafter referred to as thank you, everyone knows it).?

"According to historical records, the first time the soul returning incense appeared was in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there were three soul returning incense pieces of the Yueshi national tribute in the Western Regions. As big as a bird's egg, as black as a mulberry, burn this incense, the sick smell it, and those who die less than three days will be alive after being scented. Did your wife find her in three days? ”?

"Didn't I tell you that freezing can prolong the preservation of corpses. You're right, Yue's Guo is indeed the origin of Soul Rejuvenation Incense, but it has been extinct for many years in this era. Xie said impatiently.

I thought about the geography of the Yueshi kingdom, and according to today's map, it should be in the Hexi corridor west of Lanzhou in Gansu Province to Dunhuang, this country began to rise during the Warring States period, was strong and prosperous in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and was expelled by the Xiongnu and began to weaken, and finally was gradually annexed by the Qiang people in the fifth century AD. If the Soul Rejuvenation Incense is produced with the Moon Clan, then isn't this place exactly where it used to be? I look back at this place, and it really has a bit of foreign culture, but how did the Yue clan build such a sinicized ancient tomb, and if you want to say that this is an ancient tomb, can Xie open it with the power of only one person? I looked at him with doubts. Naturally, he understood, began to explain all this to me.?

Can you guess what this place is? I can tell you that this is Zhang Qian's tomb. ”?

"Nonsense, Zhang Qian's tomb is in Hanzhong, don't fool me." I angrily pointed out to him, although I don't know much about history, but don't fool me for a fool.

"I know that you don't believe it, this tomb was actually built by the clansmen of the Yue Clan for Zhang Qian. True, there is no body of him here. But there is something more valuable in this burial chamber than Zhang Qian's corpse. ”?

"You mean, Rejuvenating Incense?" I asked.?

"That's right, the Yue people regard very valuable treasures as a memorial to Zhang Qianxiu This tomb, this tomb is insignificant in the records. But in the eyes of antiquities lovers like me, it's a lifelong goal. ”?

"What did you just say?"

"The Soul Rejuvenation Incense is very precious, and the Yue people hid it in the center of the ancient tomb when they built it. As a treasure that can bring the dead back to life, I don't need to say much about what it will attract to snatch, you know the typhoon, the eye of the wind in the center of the typhoon is the calmest, and the soul rejuvenation incense is the eye of the wind, but it is more appropriate to call it **, there are those things around it, and they want to return to the world with the power of the treasure. "Xie's words surprised me, could it be that the appearance of the Soul Returning Incense will cause the deceased to return to the world??

"Soul incense was once spread to Japan, but a terrible war between people and ghosts broke out in Japan, and Kyoto became a ghost town at that time. It can be seen how powerful it is. ”?

"But doesn't it only raise up the dead within three days of death?" I wondered.?

"That's not the real rejuvenating incense, what Zhang Qian brought back was not properly kept and exposed to the scorching sun, and the most important thing was that the rejuvenating incense was mixed with other spices. But even impure rejuvenating incense still has the effect of curing serious diseases. This is also the result of historical records. Xie continued to narrate, and I listened with great interest, indeed, the Heian period in which the famous onmyoji Abe Harumi lived in Japanese history was indeed such a chaotic period when ghosts and demons coexisted.

"Then let's go now, I think your physical condition seems to be a little problematic." I pointed to his body. Xie smiled bitterly: "Indeed, the soul rejuvenation incense that resurrected me back then was also impure, although my wife resurrected me at the cost of her own life, the result still made me fall into such a human and ghostly appearance, so I must find the real pure and immaculate soul rejuvenation incense." "Thank you for looking at me, I know how painful it is for someone to be on the verge of life and death.

I agreed, because I'm mortal too, and who wouldn't want to see a legendary treasure. Although this lying journey can be more dangerous.?

"Why don't you find a few more people?" I ask thanks,?

"I don't care how many people there are, a hundred wastes are not as good as a useful assistant." He looked at me as he spoke. Then he walked to the wall directly in front of him. There was something like a jigsaw puzzle on the wall, and he was seen moving a few of the pieces. The ground suddenly and slowly opened, revealing a round hole that resembled the mouth of a well. It's huge, about two meters in diameter. The entrance to the cave looks very eerie. Standing next to it, you can feel a chill down your spine.?

"It's too late to regret it now." Thank you for seeing my hesitation and provoking me.

"Don't use the agitation method, I won't change it if I decide, and it's useless if you don't want to kill me. But I want to talk about how we got up. "I looked at the hole, and it was unfathomable.?
