Chapter 216: The Disappearing Necklace
I let the projector continue to play the image, and in the black and white picture of 30 years ago, I saw these familiar people, and suddenly it felt so strange, we seemed to fall into a bottomless whirlpool of mysteries, no matter how hard we tried to find the truth, the more we knew, the more confused we became.
I haven't heard Tian Ji's voice for a long time, generally speaking, he is always the one who speaks the most, subconsciously looked at him, and found Tian Ji staring at the picture on the wall in amazement, I called him several times, and he reacted.
"How...... How? Tian Ji's expression was a little dazed.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Tian Ji couldn't help it, it was difficult to see such a heavy expression on his face, and after answering me simply, his gaze once again fell into the image on the wall.
The picture continues to shoot the process of cleaning up the Vientiane Shrine in the 117th Bureau, what the No. 1 leader and Gong Yu are talking about, the topic should be related to how to open the stone gate mechanism, and then the No. 1 leader patted Gong Yu on the shoulder, as if signaling her to continue.
Until now, we haven't been able to see the appearance of the No. 1 chief, but we feel that this man in a military coat seems to be very familiar, and I should have seen that back somewhere.
The No. 1 leader walked to the stone platform where Ling Xuan was lying flat, surrounded by people who were carefully cleaning up and preparing to transport outside, the No. 1 leader said a few words, and those people all left, leaving only the back of the No. 1 leader in front of Ling Xuan.
He stood there for a long time, probably studying something, and then raised his hand, it should be for someone to come over and continue to work, and when the number one leader disappeared from the picture, the palace lord suddenly stopped the picture again.
"Can this thing be played back?" Gong Jue asked Ye Zhiqiu sternly.
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, rewinded the film, and replayed the picture from the first leader appeared on the platform where Ling Xuan was sleeping, Gong Jue stared intently at the image, knowing that the first leader disappeared from the picture again, he pressed the projector, walked to the wall without saying a word, and raised his hand to point to a place on the screen.
"You see here." Gong Jue pointed at Ling Xuan's neck.
Then he asked Ye Zhiqiu to rewind the film, and the picture that was played again was when the No. 1 leader returned to the stage from Gong Yu's side, he asked the people around the platform to leave, and Gong Jue asked Ye Zhiqiu to pause the play at this time.
"Necklace!" Ling Zhihan took a step forward in surprise. "The ancestors had been wearing necklaces before."
This is where the palace lord let us see clearly, originally wearing a necklace around Ling Xuan's neck, it was still there when he entered the Tianji Palace in the 117th round, but when the No. 1 leader left from the side of the stage, Ling Xuan's necklace was gone.
"Doesn't it sound familiar?" The palace lord looked at me.
I was stunned for a moment, took off the necklace from my neck, walked to the wall and raised my hand, the necklace I had been wearing was exactly the same as the one on Ling Xuan's neck, or rather, I should have belonged to Ling Xuan, but I was secretly taken away from the Vientiane Divine Palace by the No. 1 leader thirty years ago.
Why did Chief One take Ling Xuan's necklace?
We don't know how to know about this question these days, but I can't help but wonder why this necklace ended up on me.
"Why are you stunned?" I pushed a handful of field chickens that didn't move. "Usually you talk a lot, but now you have such a big thing, why don't you say a few words?"
"Ah...... What, what? Tian Ji seemed to have been slow to react from the sight of these images, and it was obvious that he had not even noticed the missing necklace in the picture.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Zhiqiu asked worriedly.
"You're in the Vientiane Shrine, and your hand was injured, so you shouldn't have something in your head." Gong Jue reached out and touched Tian Ji's forehead.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm a little tired." Tian Ji squeezed out a smile apologetically, no longer honest, but rare heaviness.
I opened the necklace in my hand, and once again saw the lifelike feather dragon pattern inside, this necklace should have belonged to Ling Xuan, she had been wearing it on her body, it can be seen that this necklace is either extremely important to her, or it should have a special meaning.
But in the past ten years, I have studied this necklace over and over again, but it is an ordinary ordinary object, except for the feathered dragon pattern, I have found nothing, but from the size and structure of the pendant, there should have been something in it.
Perhaps after the No. 1 leader took the necklace from Ling Xuan, he took the contents inside, and finally this necklace fell into the hands of my father, and he told me not to lose it before he died, so it can be seen that this necklace definitely has a very important role.
I was about to continue playing the film, but as soon as my hand reached over, it was suddenly blocked by Ling Zhihan, she slowly raised her hand in surprise, the corners of her mouth squirmed several times, and she said a word in surprise: "Dad?!" ”
We looked in shock in the direction of Ling Zhihan's finger, and in the freeze-frame picture, among the people walking back and forth, there was a person who was looking at the No. 1 leader intently, and that person was actually Ling Ran!
I was confused, Ling Ran turned out to be a person from the 117th Bureau, but I could quickly figure this out, the Vientiane Divine Palace was built on the basis of metaphysics, since the 117th Bureau was an archaeological unit, of course it would be aware of this when excavating the Vientiane Divine Palace, and who was better at occult arts than the Gusu Ling family, and it was reasonable for Ling Ran to be recruited into the 117th Bureau.
And from the time calculation, it should be after Ling Ran and Ye Jiuqing broke up, Ling Ran was full of pride, and Ye Jiuqing hit it off at first sight, these two have always cherished each other, I categorically don't believe that Ling Ran would just because Ye Jiuqing took Ling Xi away, causing the two to turn against each other.
Judging from the black-and-white pictures on the wall, when they discovered the Vientiane Divine Palace, Ling Ran and Ye Jiuqing were not strangers, and something must have happened between the two of them later.
And I suddenly remembered another thing, when we went to Gusu Ling's house to see Ling Ran, in the Ling family ancestral hall, Ling Ran saw the necklace I was wearing, his expression was very surprised, and asked me about the origin of the necklace.
I actually learned my father's real name from Ling Ran's mouth.
Gu Yuanshan.
Ling Ran knew my father, and the most incomprehensible thing for me was that Ling Ran told me with certainty.
I definitely can't be Gu Yuanshan's son......
I remember the weird smile he had at the time, and I remember what he said to me.
…… You can't be Gu Yuanshan's son, I can be sure, and Ye Jiuqing is also sure that he has been hiding from you for more than ten years......
I still haven't figured out the meaning of Ling Ran's words, but now that I saw him in the image thirty years ago, I suddenly found that everyone I knew around me seemed to be hiding too many surprising secrets.
Ling Ran had long known about the existence and exact location of the Vientiane Divine Palace, but he didn't say a word in front of Ling Zhihan, I might be able to understand now why Ling Ran would do whatever it took to kill us, what he was afraid of was not the leakage of the Ling family's secrets, but the fear that we would reveal the secrets of the Vientiane Divine Palace, thus involving the 117th round, that was the source of Ling Ran's jealousy.
This 117 bureau tried every possible way to hide the secret, and it will definitely not be known to outsiders, thinking of this, I can't help but gasp, we have worked hard to discover the Vientiane Shrine, but we don't know that the most dangerous secret has been touched.
The video continued to play for a while and then stopped, and we replaced it with the film found in Yang Xun's bag from the Vientiane Shrine, which should have been shot after a long time, and the stone gate leading to the back of the Tianji Palace had been opened, and a large number of soldiers with torches rushed in from the stone gate, and the lit fire trough illuminated the entire heavenly street.
Only those who have experienced it in the Vientiane Shrine can understand what it means to light the fire trough, and perhaps from that moment on, it is already a point of no return for those soldiers in the picture.
After they bypassed the stone bridge, they didn't stop at the Scorpion Nest, but at that time, presumably, the people of the 117th Bureau had already triggered the mechanism to open the Scorpion Nest, but because they passed quickly, they were wiped out before they were in the Scorpion Nest.
The people of the 117th Bureau finally arrived at the Tianquan Palace, judging from the picture, the former Tianquan Palace, surrounded by murals, and a complete stone tablet, the No. 1 chief said something to a soldier, and then we saw that the picture was moving backwards, when Yang Xun was shooting, the whole person was retreating at the gate of the Tianquan Palace.
Presumably, the No. 1 leader didn't want the contents of these murals and steles to be photographed and recorded, and then for a long time, several boxes of film were changed in a row, and the contents of the shooting were all from the 117 Bureau, carefully peeling off the murals from the palace, sealing them and quickly transporting them, as well as those steles engraved with words, which were pried off and transported away in whole pieces.
In the end, the image on the black and white screen became, the same as what we saw in the Tianquan Palace, all those important things were all carried away, but unfortunately we have never been able to find a single bit of cultural relics brought out of the Vientiane Shrine in this facility, it should be that when the 117th Bureau was transferred, all of them were secretly transported to another place.
Ye Zhiqiu put on the last box of film, and the Tianquan Palace in the picture was already empty, it seemed that the No. 1 leader led the people of the 117th Bureau to continue to go deeper, and suddenly a panicked soldier appeared in the picture, reporting something to the No. 1 chief, and then we saw that all the guns in everyone's hands were raised.
With a wave of his hand, the soldiers who were ready to move forward immediately turned back, and the picture taken from that moment began to beat, and the first leader was directing the rest of the people to quickly clean up the scene, and any slight traces were erased.
Then there was the hasty retreat, we saw the scorpion swarm sweeping like a tide in the video, all the soldiers of the 117th Bureau who entered the Vientiane Shrine, built a fragile defense line with the guns in their hands, and the last one left was the No. 1 leader, who was still directing the others to evacuate.
In the face of the scorpion swarm, even the well-equipped and brave army had no power to parry, and what was recorded in the shaking picture was a complete massacre, and Yang Xun's hands must have trembled so much at that time that the picture kept rising and falling.
The people of the 117th Bureau retreated from the Tianquan Palace to the Tianji Palace, even if there were heavy casualties, the No. 1 leader still insisted on sending people to clean up the footprints and traces while retreating, and when they retreated to the gate of the Tianji Palace, the black scorpion swarm was already close at hand, and there were still too many things in the Tianji Palace that could not be transported.
And in the shaking picture, we once again saw the behemoth blood-tailed emperor scorpion, Yang Xun used the camera to catch this creepy monster, probably too shocked, he hesitated slightly, the blood-tailed emperor scorpion had already attacked in front of him, and the whole picture was completely a close-up of the blood-tailed emperor scorpion.
The huge pincers seemed to break through the picture and stretched out to us, the picture began to shake violently, falling to the ground, from the oblique image, we saw someone dragging Yang Xun, who was bleeding like a broken leg, into it, leaving a shocking blood stain in front.
Judging from the picture, they have retreated to the Tianji Palace, and the No. 1 leader finally made a decision, before closing the stone gate, ignited the leaked crude oil, although blocking the scorpion group, but at the same time, a large number of soldiers who stayed behind and failed to retreat in time finally retreated and died in the fire, which is why we found so many ashes behind the stone gate.
Judging from the picture, the difficulty of Chief No. 1 in making this decision, with his back to us and his hands pounding heavily on the stone door, can be seen that he must have been distressed at that time, and next to him were soldiers who tried to pull him away quickly.
At the moment when the stone gate was about to close, the blood-red scorpion tail of the blood-tailed emperor scorpion penetrated through the gap in the stone gate, just cutting off the head of the No. 1 leader, and after the human head fell to the ground, it continued to roll until it stopped in front of the camera that was still shooting.
We finally saw the appearance of the No. 1 leader clearly, and at that moment, my whole body was like an electric shock, and my whole body was stiff, frightened and stunned, looking at the picture obscured by the bloody human head......
