Chapter 36: The Bearded

I was really surprised to meet Wu Laohan here, and I also learned that Wu Laohan was the bearded man 30 years ago! The old man also told me that Lao Zhao and Heizi came here with him, they had arrived at the land of the thousand-year-old ice cave, and there, they had already fought with the secret forces, he was wounded by a gunshot, and he was entrusted by Lao Zhao to come back to pick me up.

After listening to Wu Laohan's statement, I was even more eager to know the situation in the Ice Cave Land, even he was injured, and I didn't know what happened to Lao Zhao and Heizi. Without further ado, I intend to hit the road right away.

"Old man, you have a leg injury and have difficulty moving, you are waiting for me here! I need to get to the Ice Cave Land as soon as possible to join the sunspots! ”

The old man listened and grabbed me: "Don't worry, I still have something to tell you, before you leave, I have to tell you something!" ”

Old Chinese's tone was slow, and his words made me curious, and since the old man was not in a hurry to let me rush to reinforcements, it meant that the situation there had not yet reached the worst step, so I put my mind at ease for the time being.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The old man drank a few sips of water, sighed a long sigh and said slowly: "30 years ago, in order to find the ghost mirror, the 17-person archaeological team led by me and the wolf master set off along the dragon vein of the dragon going to sea, and walked through the Changbai Glacier - Inner Mongolia Ghost Tower - Western Regions Loulan - South China Sea Cloud Island - Kunlun Labyrinth - Divine Tomb Wang Ding, but this is a big lie, in fact, someone has already obtained the ghost mirror in Changbai Mountain from the beginning, this person is your father Wolf Master, you have guessed this just now, I didn't find out until many years later. In the three years of searching for the ghost mirror, the first 17 people, sacrificed sacrifices, disappeared and disappeared, until after Kunlun Mountain, I was the only one left! As the leader of the archaeological team at that time, I have an unshirkable responsibility for the casualties, so after I go back, I resigned from the archaeological institute, and I returned to the road I haven't finished yet, I returned to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, under the pseudonym Wu Laohan, I want to find out what happened in the Kunlun Labyrinth, I want to find the missing Zhang Yuhua and the glasses left in the ancient tomb, and the real murderer who killed your father! Kunlun Mountain is 30 years, in these 30 years, about the secret of the ghost mirror and what happened on the way we searched for the ghost mirror, I have roughly figured it out, until one day 30 years later, the wolf master found me again, only to confirm all my inferences, but at this time the wolf master is no longer the wolf master of 30 years ago, he has a new identity: Lao Zhao! ”

Wu Laohan roughly traced to me the timeline of their search for the ghost mirror 30 years ago, which is basically consistent with my own inference, but I have a particularly curious question.

"Old man, you have spent 30 years to track down what happened back then, I just want to know a little bit, my father Wolf Master was in Kunlun Mountain, what was ...... How did he die? ”

The old man frowned when he heard this, and his eyes, which had been sunken deeply, suddenly enlarged a lot.

"This is exactly what I want to tell you, the death of the wolf master 30 years ago! That night, after I came out of the Kunlun labyrinth, I looked for your father all night, and it was not until the next morning that I found his body hanging from a tree vine under the hillside, the body swaying in the wind, his face hideous and twisted, he was strangled to death! As for how the wolf master reappeared in front of you and me as Lao Zhao later, this is the curse of the ghost mirror, and it involves that big secret, you already know it, so I won't say more. Now the key question is, how could a good person of the wolf master be hanged on a tree? ”

The old man said and took out a video camera from his arms: "The things in this camera have been with me for more than 30 years, in the way we were looking for ghosts, I often used the camera to record some important moments, as a film and television data for our archaeological research, the camera at that time was still using film, I was afraid that the film would be damaged after a long time, so a few years ago, I used this camera to shoot all the content on the film in sections, and the last video of this is the picture of your father's death, you ...... Want to see it? ”

The old man handed me the camera as he spoke, and I was a little at a loss for a while, but now I finally have the opportunity to witness the picture of my father's death, but at this moment, I am a little afraid!

I pondered for a long time before taking the camera, and finally decided to take a look.

I turned on the camera and saw a lot of video clips, but I didn't have the heart to look at them one by one, so I turned to the last one and opened it.

As soon as the video was opened, I heard a noisy and low roar of the wind, and the wind seemed to be mixed with a few sparse wolf barks, the video screen was very dark, and many snowflakes could be seen on the screen like white spots, which was very contemporary! In the picture, through the moonlight, I vaguely saw a figure hanging from a tree swaying in the wind, although I couldn't see his face clearly, but I knew that he was my father.

The video was only a dozen seconds long, and the old man took the camera back as soon as it was played.

"Okay, don't be too sad, after all, the wolf master is no longer the wolf master! Let's get back to business. Many years later, by chance, I discovered the secret of the wolf's death from one of these video clips. ”

I wanted to watch that video again, and I was saddened by my father's death, but when I heard the old man talk about the mystery of my father's death, I couldn't help but cheer up again, so I had to put the video aside.

The old man continued: "This video is the box of videotapes I sent you in the package, you must have seen it, but I wonder if you have found the secret in it?" ”

I recalled: "Are you referring to the pillar behind my father in the video?" ”

The old man nodded slowly: "Not bad!" It seems that the other three photos I took a screenshot of still caught your attention! In fact, there is no pillar behind the wolf master at all, and the ...... captured in the video It's something, this kind of thing has been entangled with the wolf master since Changbai Mountain, until finally Kunlun Mountain, killing the wolf master! ”

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief: "I also roughly guessed what you said, and my father made it clear in the video that he already sensed that something was following him. It's just that I still don't know what the dark shadow that followed my father was. Why did he kill my father? ”

"That's up to your father...... No, it's Lao Zhao, let Lao Zhao tell you personally! ”

The old man's expression was a little strange, he wanted to speak and stopped, but it didn't seem like he was deliberately selling off. He was silent for a long time before he continued, "Do you remember the passage I wrote to you on the back of one of those three photos?" ”

"Of course I do, and those three pictures are on me now!" With that, I pulled the three photos out of my bosom and found the conversation on the back of one of them.

"Okay, you read that passage to me, I won't look at it if my eyes are not good!"

Wu Laohan suddenly asked me to read this passage to him, I was a little strange, but I didn't have time to think about it, and immediately read it out:

In order to escape the fate of the curse, I have been retired for more than 30 years, and I don't want to mention the past again! By chance, I watched this video taken 30 years ago again, and finally discovered a shocking secret, and in order to verify my speculation, I came to Inner Mongolia again. In order to prevent accidents, I will transfer this precious video data to you, the little wolf, after all, this secret is related to you, 30 years ago in Inner Mongolia, you have experienced it yourself! - Written by the bearded man
