Chapter 109: One Hundred Secrets
I specifically told Ye Zhiqiu that I must not tell anyone about the Temple of the Ancestral God and that I have not lost my memory, especially Wen Ru, on the way to find the temple, Wen Ru became more and more incomprehensible to me, and the secrets he hid seemed to be more mysterious than the temple.
We stayed in the Miao people for more than ten days, and waited until the field chicken's injury was healed before everyone left, the Miao people were hospitable and drove the general to drink, Bavaduo handed over the prepared herbs to us, and repeatedly told us to remember to change the dressing on the road.
Bavado took us off the mountain road and told us to walk along the Lancang River and get to Shale in a day or so, where we could get to Dali.
We walked a long way and saw Bavado standing at the top of the hill, I am grateful for the simplicity of the mountain people, and I really plan to come back when I have time, the tranquility and simplicity of this place are far more nostalgic than the hustle and bustle of the world.
I saw the field chicken walking in front, the backpack was shriveled, I went up and touched it, and found that it was soft inside.
"Where's your gold?" Tian Ji loves money like his life, he can forget anything, such a big golden mask will never be forgotten, I saw Ye Zhiqiu helping Wen Ru to walk behind, and asked Tian Ji with a low voice and a smile.
"Like a thief, when I got up in the morning, I saw him secretly put it under his pillow." Gong Jue looked back and said with a smile.
"Yo, you're singing that, that's your life, and you didn't bring it?" I asked playfully.
"People have saved our lives, we have to eat and drink for more than half a month, and the grace of dripping water will be reciprocated, not to mention the grace of saving lives, what is a piece of gold, and people will repay it when they know it." Tian Ji said heroically in his mouth, but his expression could be seen to some extent that he was still reluctant.
"Not heartache?" I smiled happily.
"How can I not be heartbroken, my hand is almost gone, just exchange it for a piece of gold, you say I don't lose it, but you can't forget your roots." Tian Ji scratched his head and took a deep breath. "Just treat this trip as if I was busy in vain, besides, life is better than anything else, as long as I am alive, I don't believe it, I will lack a piece of gold in this life."
"That's right, it's a gentleman, your temper has an appetite for Lao Tzu." The general who walked in the front looked back and smiled heartily. "Look, you're usually greedy for money, but you're loyal enough, who taught you?"
"The old man of my family mentions his face every day, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, these words have been whispered in my ear every day since I was a child, you have never seen him, I will tell you, I am about to be driven crazy by the old man." Tian Ji mentioned his father, and he looked anxious. "I know what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are when I was a child, not learned, but watched, all engraved on the old man's face, he sat there, that is the righteous and awe-inspiring Yue Fei, get up and stand, live is the second master of the righteous Bo Yuntian, I really can't stand him, it is estimated that if I stay at home again, maybe he will have to tattoo the four words of loyalty and service to the country on my back."
Gong Jue and the general and I were amused by Tian Ji's words, and finally stopped, crossed his waist and said: "If your old man knew that you are digging graves with us now, he might be angry with you to death." ”
"The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, he must be angry, but he really can't blame me for this." Tian Ji replied with a faint smile.
"What's your father's name, I still want to meet you when I have the opportunity, and it's not easy to teach you like this." The general asked casually.
"My father......" Tian Ji scratched his head and smiled, and stopped talking. The old man is just an ordinary person, and it's better not to know the seniors, maybe I'll have to annoy you. ”
Tian Ji seems to never be willing to mention his family, I have known him for so long, don't look at Tian Ji's honest and honest is actually the master who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, it is estimated that there is no less angry father and mother at home, laughing all the way, we arrived at Shale before dark, and we took the car to Dali early the next morning, originally thought that Wen Ru was going back with us.
Wen Ru said goodbye to us at the station, looking very sorry that Liao Kai and the others were at a loss, and the origin of the bronze mask could not be verified, so he still couldn't let go, so he planned to immediately go to Jiangxi to re-investigate the place where the ruins were found, and see if he could find some clues related to the bronze mask.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't worry about Wen Ru going alone, saying that he would accompany him to Jiangxi, Wen Ru shook his head and said that he didn't need it, looking at Wen Ru's appearance was very eager, and I found that he seemed to be extremely concerned and interested in the Jiuli Ancestral God in the temple.
It's a pity that he can't remember what happened in the temple, but it's a good thing, and the less he knows about someone like Wen Ru who can't see through it, the better.
Ye Zhiqiu was no longer reluctant, and when he sent Wen Ru to the car, Wen Ru politely thanked us one by one, saying that it was thanks to our care all the way, and it could be regarded as being in the same boat, hoping that Fang Ru would have the opportunity to walk together in the future.
In the end, Wen Ru said to the general with emotion: "It is said that the hidden dragon and crouching tiger under the Ye shopkeeper, this time I am fortunate to see that the knowledge is really extraordinary, we are all peers, please give more advice in the future." ”
"Don't dare to be, I'm a tomb robber, and I can't get on the stage." The general is not arrogant or impatient, and his face is expressionless. "Besides, you're an archaeologist, so it's better for us to have less contact with each other, so as not to stain your reputation."
"It's funny, I have never had a prejudice against tomb robbing, although tomb robbery is a bad habit, but the essence of the inheritance of thousands of years can not be compared with archaeology, if you can get rid of its dross, there are still many things that can be carried forward." Wen Ru is not embarrassed to talk and laugh. "Not to mention anything else, as far as your marksmanship of piercing Yang in 100 steps is concerned, it is also an amazing stunt, and Shopkeeper Ye has a helper like you by his side, no wonder he has been able to thrive in the past few decades."
Waiting for Wen Ru to get in the car and leave, the general lit the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, spit to the side, and glanced at the car in the distance with disdain: "This person speaks in a crepe manner, he is not happy at all, and he is annoyed to look at it." ”
"Uncle Wei, how can you say this about Elder Wen, he is Corporal Lixian who is really praising you, I rarely hear Elder Wen praise people like this." Ye Zhiqiu pursed his lips and complained.
"I'm a tomb robber, who wants him to be humpbacked, look at his smiling virtue, if Lao Tzu met such a person a few years earlier, he would have been buried in a pit earlier." The general gave me a forced look. "Teach the girl well, don't let people sell it and help count the money."
"Don't get too close to the person surnamed Wen, he's not a good person, I can't see through it until now......"
Halfway through my speech, I was suddenly stunned, suddenly looked at Wen Ru's distant car, and opened my mouth in shock.
"Say, say anything nasty." Ye Zhiqiu asked reluctantly.
I shook off Ye Zhiqiu's hand, rubbed my head vigorously and was very surprised, I didn't go back and forth several times, others probably thought that my head hurt again, Ye Zhiqiu was no longer arrogant, and asked me softly What's wrong.
"A hundred steps through Yang...... "I kept repeating the four words that Wen Ru said just now in my mouth, and then stood in front of the general....... "Have you ever seen Wen Ru before?"
"I've seen it." The general nodded with a cigarette in his mouth. "The shopkeeper has always had a relationship with Wen Humpback, and some things the shopkeeper will hand over to me to negotiate with Wen Ru."
"It's not this, it's a hundred steps through Yang, have you ever seen your marksmanship?" I shook my head anxiously and asked.
"Marksmanship?" The general took the cigarette from his mouth and gave me a blank look. "Lao Tzu hasn't touched a gun for almost ten years, except for the shopkeeper, Zhao Yan and Feng Cheng in the pawnshop don't know, let alone Wen hunchback...... How do you ask this? ”
"I didn't know you would use a gun, on the way to the temple, we were attacked by the Demon Flower Mantis, if it wasn't for you guarding the wooden bridge, we would have died at the hands of the Demon Flower Mantis." I looked at the general in a panic. "Wen Ru said that you wore Yang in a hundred steps, and it must have been at that time that you discovered your marksmanship."
"So what?" The general still asked blankly. "I've been a handmaiden before, so it's normal to be able to shoot."
"That's not right!" The voice of the palace lord came from behind. "It's impossible for Wen Ru to know about Uncle Wei's marksmanship!"
We encountered the Demon Flower Mantis on the way to the temple, Wen Ru is the same as everyone else, the last memory should be the time when the shipwreck, only I still remember the general on the wooden bridge, the heroic nature of a man who is a man and a man, but Wen Ru should not remember!
When he mentioned the general's marksmanship, he could see that he was indeed convinced, but he remembered things that he should not remember.
The only thing that can explain it is only one possibility.
"You...... Are you saying that Elder Wen is just like you, and he has all the complete memories related to the temple?! Ye Zhiqiu finally reacted, but she still didn't believe it with her expression. Wen Lao is obviously the same as us, he only remembers the shipwreck and the river at the end, since he still remembers everything, why should he hide it from us? ”
"It's all said that you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart, and only you still believe in this old fox." Gong Jue frowned and said to Ye Zhiqiu.
"The old fox remembers everything, but pretends to be the same as us, he doesn't want us to know about the temple, but the question is, why can Wen Ru keep this memory and not erase it?" Tian Ji said this, looked at me and asked. "Of the six of us, you and Wen hunchback remember everything, what is the reason why the two of you will not be affected?"
I shook my head and couldn't get back to this question, from the moment I found out that Wen Ru tried to blow up the underground altar of the Aoki River, I found that this person was confused, he was able to be safe and sound on the way to the temple surrounded by three corpse Gu, and he was safe and sound after the temple was attacked by insects, and in the end, he was able to keep all his memories intact.
I can't explain all this, he rushed to Jiangxi presumably because in the temple, we confirmed the existence of the ancestral god, it is obvious that Wen Ru knows the Jiuli ancestral god better than any of us, he has been studying the history of Miao Jiang before, and the real purpose should be to find the secret of the ancestral god.
Now Wen Ru is the first person to be involved in both the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat and the Three-Eyed Qilin, I don't know what Wen Ru is looking for, but it is clear that the Moon Palace Nine Dragons Boat and the Three-Eyed Qilin should have been somehow related before.
