With the experience of the ice cave, the bonfire in the ice room did not dare to be extinguished day and night, and when Han Jin's people were asleep, I quietly touched it and woke up Gongjue and Tian Ji, the notes left by the professor of Nankai University have not been read yet.

Flipping back from that illustration, I found that the rest of the pages were blank, and I realized that I was so stupid, that people were dead in ice caves, and that there were ghosts who wrote this notebook.

"The professor has worked hard to get here, and the most amazing and great discovery he mentioned should refer to the Kunlun Golden Gate, just a few steps away...... "I sighed and felt a little sorry." It's a pity that the ambition dies before it is rewarded, but it's a pity ......"

"Keep it, in case you go out, this thing can be regarded as a cultural relic." Tian Ji took the notes and planned to put them away.

A photo fell out of the notebook, Tian Ji picked it up and looked at it for a long time, and said happily: "There are no more, no less, just twelve people in this photo, it can't be those who came here forty years ago." ”

As soon as Gong Jue and I heard it, we immediately asked for a photo from Tian Ji's hand, a very old black and white photo, the background is Kunlun Pass, the reckless Kunlun in the photo, the mountains are covered in silver, and the thousands of peaks and ravines are like a group of galloping horses in silver-gray armor, surging forward with the wind and clouds.

There are a total of twelve people in the photo, divided into two rows, the male stands behind the woman, and the second person wearing glasses in the back row, wearing the same clothes as the clothes left when we found the professor's body in the ice cave, this person must be the Nankai professor who wrote the notes, these twelve people should be the people who received the invitation forty years ago, and went deep into the Kunlun Mountains under the leadership of a mysterious recruiter to explore the secrets of Kunlun Jinque.

They should have been to this ice room, perhaps sitting in the place where we are now, forty years apart, looking at the photo in their hands with an inexplicable emotion.

"This ...... This person is so familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere?! Gong Jue pointed to a man in the back row and said in surprise.

"How could you have seen that when these people came here, you weren't even born." Tian Ji glanced at Gong Jue with a blank expression. "Maybe these people will either die on the way, or they will die in the Kunlun Golden Gate, where do you see it, if you really see it, you will see the hell."

I glanced at Gong Jue's fingers, and suddenly my eyes widened, my head was almost buried in the photo, and I slowly opened my mouth, this person Gong Jue is familiar because he has seen it once, but this person in the photo is much younger than when Gong Jue saw it, but I am too familiar with this person.

Ye Jiuqing!

"Shopkeeper Ye...... Right! It's him, I'll say why is it so familiar......" The palace lord was immediately sure when he heard me say this, but he was quickly shocked. He ...... How did he end up in this picture? ”

Obviously, Ye Jiuqing has been here, and he has also found Kunlun Jinque, since I know him, for the things he has done, it is not too much to lose his head a hundred times, but he has almost told me about it, but he has never mentioned half a word about Kunlun Jinque in front of me.

I have always been convinced that the existence of Kunlun Jinque is just a legend, and the main reason is because Ye Jiuqing, a place that no well-informed person like him has ever heard of, most of them are false.

It seems that there are many things I don't know about Ye Jiuqing.

"Since Shopkeeper Ye is still alive, then ......" Gong Jue raised his head and looked keenly. Forty years ago, these people not only found Kunlun Jinque, but also left here alive! ”

This can also explain how Han Jin's map came from, and the people who gave him the map must have been these twelve ...... No, the two who died in the ice cave were passed down by one of the ten. Tian Ji said in a low voice.

Ye Jiuqing in the photo looks like he should be in his twenties, according to the records in the professor's notes, the twelve people who were recruited are all top tasks in different fields, I didn't expect him to be outstanding at such a young age, but I didn't understand what an ancient building site needs a tomb robber to do.

"Your master never interacts with the people in the tomb robbers." I suddenly asked the palace lord meaningfully. "Do you know why she has a good relationship with Ye Jiuqing?"

"When I went to Chengdu, I heard from the master that she and the shopkeeper Ye were old friends, and I don't know how they met." The palace lord looked at me in surprise after answering. "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Old friends...... It's really an old friend. "I put the picture in front of the palace lord and pointed to the woman in the middle of the front row." You shouldn't be unfamiliar with this person. ”

Gong Jue looked at it suspiciously for a moment, the whole person was stunned, and the corners of his mouth squirmed: "Master...... Master?! ”

That woman is Gong Yu, similar to the Gong Yu I saw in Chengdu, there is a feeling of softness and grace, even in the photo, I feel that Gong Yu has not changed much from when she was young, and she still has a smile and looks at the wind and clouds calmly.

Ye Jiuqing said that he knew Gong Yu when he was young, and this friendship lasted for decades, although the two usually had little contact, but Ye Jiuqing's reaction to Gong Yu was definitely a fateful friendship.

I asked Ye Jiuqing and Gong Yu how they met, and Ye Jiuqing prevaricated for a long time, only saying that his life was saved by Gong Yu.

The professor said that the twelve people who were recruited didn't know anyone else, and if I guessed correctly, Ye Jiuqing and Gong Yu should have known each other when they were exploring the Kunlun Golden Gate.

"Ye Jiuqing said that Gong Yu saved his life, so it must be here." I took a deep breath and realized that there were too many people involved in this place.

"The ice door of the ice room is ingenious, no wonder it is opened correctly from the outside, it turns out that my master has been here before."

"They have been to Kunlun Jinque, and now it is your turn again, what happened forty years ago continues to you is really a coincidence." Tian Ji should not be able to understand the mood of me and Gong Jue at the moment, and patted us on the shoulder and said.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's a coincidence, but the last thing I believe in is a coincidence, growing up with a group of tomb robbers, and learning the most is that the dead won't harm you, and only the living will really calculate you.

I looked at Gong Jue, he quickly understood what I meant, shook his head very affirmatively, and said that Gong Yu had not mentioned half a word of Kunlun Jinque in front of him, the more this happened, the more uneasy I became, as soon as the news of the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace reappeared, Gong Yu found Ye Jiuqing, and the two of them seemed to have something to hide from us.

Gong Jue said that Gong Yu treats him as his own kindness and reinvents, and will never do anything to hurt him, I have not been in contact with Gong Yu and dare not judge easily, but I am sure of Ye Jiuqing, my life is picked up by him, I have been able to run rampant in the pawnshop in the Quartet over the years, not how strong I am, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ye Jiuqing is raising me as a son.

Ye Jiuqing is scheming, it's not that he can't calculate, but he can't calculate me, I was a pawn ticket back then, and now I have nothing to do, and there is nothing worth calculating at all.

"Don't think about anything complicated, maybe it's a coincidence, you say it yourself." Tian Ji came over with a serious look. "Just the way you two are now, what do others want from you?"

I smiled faintly, maybe Tian Ji was right, I was thinking too much, but Ye Jiuqing and Gong Yu did hide the Kunlun Jinque from us, why did they ......

My hand touched the photo, and when I crossed over a person in the back row, I was suddenly stunned, and the whole person was like an electric shock, trembling and slowly standing up, and the palace lord and Tian Ji stood up at a loss.

"What's wrong?" They asked, confused.

The second man on the right in the back row, with an angular face showing fortitude, I have also seen this person, but I am much older when I see him, in my memory he is always hunched over, standing in the position of the five ghosts carrying the coffin, and carrying the dead to the cemetery with the Eight King Kongs.

I never dreamed that I would see my father in this picture!

This is the second time I have seen my father in a photo, the first time was when I was seven years old, when I fled, when I burned the hard-cover notebook that my father gave me, I saw him in a charred photo, and it was 20 years after my father arrived in Kunlun Mountain.

Tian Ji pulled me down, and the opposite side was my father's enemy, if Han Jin knew that these consequences would be unimaginable.

"Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Ye may also know your father." Gong Jue said in a low voice.

I opened my mouth and nodded blankly, when Ye Jiuqing saw me, he saw the necklace I was carrying, I now recall his expression, he should have recognized something, this necklace has always been kept by my father, maybe Ye Jiuqing recognized it at that time, I am afraid it is really not a coincidence that he took me in.

But aside, what kind of person my father is, so far I can guess his three completely unrelated identities.

A coffin bearer of five ghosts carrying a coffin for a dead man in the mountains.

A military man who took part in the most secret mission of the Red Dynasty.

A mysterious tomb robber.

Right now......

A man who found the Kunlun Golden Gate.

According to the professor's notes, the twelve people recruited were all top figures in their respective fields, so what was my father's real occupation?

"They gathered together because of this palace, there must be something or something that attracts them in this Kunlun Golden Gate, since we are here, we will board the Golden Gate." Gong Jue smiled proudly. "The secret of forty years ago, they don't say that we dug it up ourselves."

"Yes, let's take the same path they took forty years ago, and maybe we'll find something." Tian Ji patted me on the shoulder and smiled firmly.

I nodded, put the photo away, and looked at the unfinished notebook in my hand, since there were my father's footnotes here, I picked up the pen and filled in the blank pages with the professor's unfinished journey.
