Chapter 8: The Lost Grave Appears
"Pattern? What kind of pattern is it that makes you so sure? Shu Yao asked slowly.
"I was very impressed by that pattern, you know, people like us who follow tradition, people generally don't die with cremation, but burial, in fact, now that I think about it, if it was cremation, maybe none of this would have happened today. On our side, the burial corpse is naturally to wear a shroud, my father had already told me before he died, to engrave a pattern on his shroud, this pattern must accompany him into the ground, otherwise he will not close his eyes, this is what my father said to me at that time" Fang Qian recalled seriously.
"What kind of pattern is that?" Huang Jun felt that this might be a key, you know, since Fang Qian's father was so attentive, then this pattern must have an extraordinary meaning to him, even if it had no practical use, it must represent something unknown.
"Wait, I'll show it to you" Fang Qian didn't answer directly, but ran into the side hall, Huang Jun and Shu Yao looked at each other, fortunately Fang Qian didn't let them wait too long, and after a while, Fang Qian came out, but there was an extra book in his hand, that book looked a bit old, I don't know why, seeing that book, Huang Jun thought of the book he got, although this idea was a bit strange, but the two should be about the same age. When Fang Qian got closer, Shu Yao saw at a glance that there was a strange pattern drawn on the front of the book, which was extremely complex and extremely irregular in shape.
"No, that's the pattern," Fang Qian said as he handed the book to Shu Yao.
"What is this book?" Huang Jun asked.
"This book was left by my father, and he followed him all his life, and he liked this book very much during his lifetime, and I also read it, and there is nothing in it, mainly some ancient wild histories and the like, but as far as I can see, there are some legends recorded in it from very early times, and there is nothing else." Fang Qian didn't care.
"What kind of legend is that?" Huang Jun asked.
"But that has nothing to do with what I'm going to talk about now, does it? We shouldn't dwell on that," Fang Qian said impatiently.
"In that case, well, you go on" Huang Jun smiled helplessly.
"Because my father wanted me to embroider this pattern on his shroud before he died, so I did as he said, and I believe that such a strange pattern is unknown to ordinary people, and of course it is impossible to embroider that kind of stripe on clothes, and more importantly, my intuition tells me that it is my father" Fang Qian said this, his voice became hurried, as if he was afraid that Huang Jun would not believe it.
"You mean that the man was wearing a shroud? Or is it the shroud you made for your father? Shu Yao said.
"Of course, and I'm sure it's my father," Fang Qian said stubbornly.
"Don't be so sure, you know, it's impossible"
"I also know it's impossible, but that's how I feel, don't ask me why, I believe that any father and son will have such a feeling"
"Okay, let's not dwell on this issue, you can continue to talk about what happened to you" Huang Jun's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"At that time, my father ran in the other direction, so I chased after him, but after a while, he disappeared, and I don't know why, I just felt that he flashed, as if he was moving fast, and then I couldn't see it again" Fang Qian said suspiciously.
"Can't see it in a flash? Your father is not Superman, how can it be? Shu Yao felt more and more that Fang Qian's words were outrageous, if it was said that it was an invisible and qualitative spirit, it would be fine, but how could a living person have such skills, even if he was a guardian, he could not have such a speed.
"I don't know if it's my delusion, anyway, that's how I felt at the time, I couldn't catch up with him and naturally retreated, and then I found the tomb, and then I found that the tomb had changed back again" Fang Qian said inexplicably.
"What do you mean when you're back?"
"Changed back means changed back, don't you understand?" Fang Qian's eyes widened.
"I really don't understand, can you elaborate on that?" Huang Jun faced Fang Qian, who seemed to be about to fall into the demon, and didn't know what to say. But at the same time, one can imagine how terrible it must be for a person to fall into such a state, and what he encounters.
"Okay, it's me who is too impatient, I'm sorry, I don't know what's going on today, I'm not usually like this" Fang Qian said embarrassedly.
"It's okay, you go on", Shu Yao urged.
"I mean, when I looked at the tomb again, I found that the name engraved on the tombstone was actually my father's name," Fang Qian wondered.
"Isn't this normal, of course your father's tombstone is engraved with your father's name", Shu Yao couldn't help but say. Suddenly, she found that Huang Jun and Fang Qian were looking at her strangely.
"What's wrong with you, am I not right? Well? It's a little wrong......" At that time, Shu Yao's face immediately became ugly.
"You noticed something was wrong, didn't you? When I went to that location during the day, there was another tomb with another person's name engraved on it, and I had a fight with his worshippers, and at night, the tombstone actually changed, and you say, why is that? "Fang Qiandao.
"This, it's hard to say, we have to see it to know", Shu Yao spread his hands helplessly, the truth is that this situation is of course incredible for ordinary people, but for Huang Jun and Shu Yao, it is not so mysterious, just a slightly stronger anomaly can do it with a little trick, plus Fang Qian's emotions were extremely unstable at that time, and the chance of hallucinations was even greater.
"Do you think it could be that Fang Qian encountered a strange spirit at that time?" Shu Yao looked at Huang Jun.
"It's hard to say, if Fang Qian touched a strange spirit and hallucinated, it is possible that such a situation may occur, but it is impossible for a strange spirit to appear during the day, and what Fang Qian saw at that time was another person's name" Huang Jun touched his nose and said thoughtfully.
"That's what I think is strange," Shu Yao said.
"By the way, ...... that book?" Huang Jun looked at the Dao in Fang Qian's hand.
"What does this book have to do with this?" Fang Qian said strangely.
"Maybe it matters, maybe it doesn't matter, but first of all, you should understand clearly, right? According to you, have you read all the legends in the ancient books? ”
"Nature has seen it"
"Is there any folk record of the legend above?"
"No, I haven't heard of every story recorded in this ancient book, neither in the history books, nor in the wild history books, nor in the folk history books, you know, I am a journalist, I usually have to pay attention to a lot of information, if there is, I will definitely know" Fang Qiandao.
"What's it about? Can you tell me about it? Of course, it's just approximate, I naturally won't ask you to tell the story in it again," Huang Jun explained, he was also afraid that Fang Qian would become impatient again.
Shu Yao didn't understand why Huang Jun was interested in the legend of that ancient book, but she believed that Huang Jun wouldn't do anything for no reason, so she didn't say anything to stop it.
"It's nothing, it seems to talk about a race in ancient times, a race with an immortal body, talking about their origins, and wars with other races, of course, in the end, this race perished" Fang Qian didn't understand why Huang Jun was interested in the legends in this book, but he had to answer patiently.
"I'll take a look at this pattern" Huang Jun seemed to have found something, and stretched out his hand, although Fang Qian was puzzled, he didn't think much about it, so he handed the ancient book to Huang Jun, and Huang Jun looked at the pattern carefully.
"What's wrong? Is there anything quirky about this book? Shu Yao couldn't hold back anymore at this time.
"I haven't found anything for the time being, I just think Fang Qian's father likes this book so much, then, I must be able to find some clues from it to explain these things, by the way, what do you think this pattern is?" Huang Jun asked.
"I can't see it, I've never seen anything like this, and if anything, it's too ugly" Shu Yao shook his head.
Huang Jun didn't speak, but looking at the pattern, it seemed to feel more and more familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.
'You say, could it be a map?' Huang Jun asked.
"No, absolutely not," Fang Qian replied.
"Why are you so sure?" Huang Jundao
"Because when my father was alive, he liked to copy it with a pen, and I think if it was a map, my father would definitely not be able to do that, and I think my father knew where it came from." Fang Qian said with certainty.
"Copying? Is it text? But it's not, there is no kind of writing that is written like this? Huang Jun thought as he spoke.
"Okay, now let's find out the truth of the matter, as for this broken book, let's discuss it later" Shu Yao saw that Huang Jun was getting deeper and deeper, angry and funny.
"Huh? Is it ......? Huang Jun seemed to think of something, his face instantly turned pale, and then, an incredible scene appeared that made Shu Yao appear, only to see Huang Jun staggering back a step, and then sat on the ground like he was drunk, with an extremely exaggerated expression on his face.
"Huang Jun, what's wrong with you?" Shu Yao hurriedly came to Huang Jun's side.
"Nothing, nothing", after a while, Huang Jun came to his senses, but he didn't say anything. Because even he couldn't figure out what was going on, when Fang Qian said that his father often copied that strange pattern, his familiarity with the pattern became stronger and stronger, until Shu Yao spoke, Huang Jun finally remembered where he had seen this pattern, that is, in that strange hole, on the forehead of the droughtling statue in that pool of blood!!
