Chapter 13: Treasures

"A treasure that has come back from the dead?" Huang Jun muttered to himself, as if he had thought of something, but he was not sure. He naturally knows a lot about this place, and he won't forget what he experienced back then, and he probably knows what the so-called treasure of resurrection from the dead is, but will it really be that? Huang Jun's first thought was the blood pool in the cave, and the function of the blood pool can indeed make people become undead, but that doesn't make sense, Mr. Wu found a treasure that can bring people back from the dead, the blood pool can only transform people into near-immortal monsters, but it can't bring people back from the dead, thinking of this, Huang Jun is unsure.

"That is, I was also surprised at the time, to be honest, I don't really believe that there are any treasures in this world that bring people back to life, if there is, I believe that there are murderous treasures in there, but can murderous treasures be called treasures? It was the murder weapon, but no matter what, for me at that time, the matter had passed, and I didn't need to think about it so much, because after I saw this information at that time, I didn't take it too seriously, and for me, it only explained Zhang Houbo's behavior, and nothing else, and it didn't have any impact on my life, but, three months later, my thoughts were shattered by reality," Mr. Wu said.

"What's wrong? Is something happening? Huang Jun said.

"Yes, because, three months later, I saw a person, a person I couldn't have seen at all," Mr. Wu said.

Huang Jun's heart moved, and he immediately thought of something. "You mean, you saw Zhang Houbo?" Huang Jun asked cautiously, when he asked this sentence, he was a little nervous in his mood, how to say it, Huang Jun found that he was afraid that the person was not Zhang Houbo, and Huang Jun himself didn't know why he was so concerned about this matter, but fortunately, Mr. Wu's answer did not disappoint him.

"That's right, I just saw him, at someone's funeral, well, there were a lot of people that day, the reason why I went to that funeral was just a social, in fact, I didn't know that person, but among many people, I found a person, that was Zhang Houbo, he didn't find me in the crowd at that time, I saw looking around looking for something, the moment I saw him, I was stunned, I didn't make a sound, let alone come forward to say hello, I thought I was hallucinating, and three minutes later, When I looked again, I found that he was gone, as if he had never appeared, I asked other people around me, and they all said that they didn't see him, and although I was stunned at that time, I thought it was my own hallucination," said Mr. Wu.

"I can understand that if I change anyone, they may not perform as well as you," Huang Jun replied. He said this not to compliment, but to tell the truth, Mr. Wu must have experienced Xu I when he was young, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Thank you, but I'm not as calm as you think, my intellect tells me that the experience of that day was an illusion, but my intuition tells me that the person is real, he is really back. But how is this possible, how can a dead person, a person who has been dead for so long, come back, and besides, I am watching his body with my own eyes, watching him buried with my own eyes, if this is not true, I really don't know what is true" Mr. Wu said.

"And then? And then what happened? Huang Jun said.

"And then? I didn't think about it anymore because I knew that I couldn't be bothered by things like this anymore, I had too many blows and I didn't want to do it anymore. At that time, I just wanted to live my life plainly, I didn't want to think about anything anymore, to be honest, I was scared, and the strange thing is that after that, nothing special happened, as if what I saw that day was really a hallucination, everything didn't exist, and I gradually convinced myself that what happened that day was an illusion, and everything was something I came up with, but why did I think about it? Am I going to believe that guy who doesn't even know each other? But anyway, nothing happened, so it was good, I comforted myself like this at that time, until, a year later, I was finally convinced that the person I saw at the funeral that day was not my hallucination" Mr. Wu said this, his voice trembled a little, it can be imagined that after such a long time, Mr. Wu could not be calm, what kind of mentality should he have at that time, when he thought of this, Huang Jun was very sympathetic to Mr. Wu, as an ordinary person, it is really commendable to have this concentration.

"What happened next?" Huang Jundao.

"What happened later, you can probably guess, one day a year later, the doorbell of my house was ringed, and I was the only one in the house that day, and there was no one. As you know, none of the people who moved around me were from the original village, and since the original residents disappeared, I don't usually interact with my current neighbors, so I was surprised because I didn't have many friends, but I opened the door, and then I saw him," said Mr. Wu.

"Who do you see?" Huang Jundao.

"Zhang Houbo, he, he, he's back" Mr. Wu didn't say much, but Huang Jun could feel the unrest in his heart, and he could also imagine what Mr. Wu was like when he saw Zhang Houbo.

"He's back? Dead and then back? What does he want to do? Huang Jun said.

"To tell you the truth, until now, I often think of the scene at that time, I think it was a dream, it can never be true, when he saw me, he was very friendly, and greeted me with a smile, and greeted me and said that it must have frightened me, hell, of course I was frightened, I asked him, is it a human or a ghost? Guess what he said? He said that he didn't know if he was a human or a ghost, but anyway, he was alive, and then he talked to me about the treasure," Mr. Wu said.

"Treasure? He came to you for that treasure? Didn't he get that treasure? Huang Jun said.

"Probably not, otherwise why would he come to me? And as you just saw, until now, he still came to me, and the reason why he came to me could only be treasure. But I couldn't listen at all, I went crazy, I don't know what I did now, but I think it must have been terrible," said Mr. Wu.

"I can understand you, seriously," Huang Jun said.

"Yes, not only you said that, but even Zhang Houbo said that, he said that he could understand me. Anyway, I remember going crazy shortly after seeing him, and I lost consciousness and had no memory during that time, and it wasn't until I woke up and found that he was gone, and I was back to normal. But before he left, he left me a letter, in which he told me all the things I wanted to know, and explained some things that I couldn't understand," said Mr. Wu.

"What did he say in the letter?" Huang Jundao.

In the letter, he said that he was now a human, not a ghost, and that he did not know why he woke up, and that he was sure that he was dead. But he wants me to believe that he is now a human being, and he is definitely not a ghost," Mr. Wu said.

"Are you convinced?" Huang Jundao.

"Do I still have a choice? Although I couldn't figure out why, the facts were in front of me, but I didn't care about it after that, because he told me what he had experienced after entering the water," said Mr. Wu.

"What happened to him when he got into the water? What did he see under the reservoir? Huang Jun said.

Mr. Wu fell into memory at this time and said, "That's right, he did see something at that time. You know, he meant to go looking for treasures, so he naturally brought tools, and those tombstones were under the reservoir, so naturally no one noticed him, so he started digging"

"Dig what?" Huang Jundao.

"He said he was digging for treasures, but in fact, he was digging graves, the ones I saw, because he believed that immortal treasures were hidden in those graves, and then he dug up one of the graves and saw a dead man" Mr. Wu said this, with a very strange expression on his face.

"Isn't it normal to dig up graves and dig up dead people? Why, do you react the way you do? Huang Jun asked puzzled.

"Of course, it is normal to dig up a dead person by digging a grave, but it is very unusual to dig up a dead person who is not decomposed," said Mr. Wu.

"You mean?" Huang Jun thought of a possibility.

"That's right, when Zhang Houbo dug up a grave, he saw a dead man, but was that a dead man? It's like being alive, without a trace of decay, it's like just dying," Mr. Wu said.

"According to you, those graves have been buried for some days, and it stands to reason that the corpses should not be like this, aren't they dead?" Huang Jun revealed a very peculiar idea.

"No, they are dead, the dead can't die anymore, you know, Zhang Houbo was originally to explore the treasure that can make people immortal, and he is more sensitive to this aspect than us, so he tried it at that time, and it turned out that the person was dead, and he couldn't die anymore" Mr. Wu said.

"That's the sealed environment under the reservoir to stop him from rotting," Huang said.

"I understand what you mean, just like the female corpse of Mawangdui, but you have to understand, let's not talk about whether this reservoir can have such conditions, just in this matter, the corpse that is not decomposed is only relative, in fact, it will still change color, and the corpse that Zhang Houbo found is like he just died, if it wasn't for him to sniff, it is true that the person is not breathing, he will think that the person is alive" Mr. Wu said.

"So, it doesn't make sense, and then what? And then how did things go? Huang Jun said.

"Then, Zhang Houbo was naturally very scared at that time, although this person looked mysterious, but after all, he was also a person, and if he was a human being, he would have a weakness, and he would also be afraid, so he decided to go up first, so he didn't care about the corpse, but wanted to go ashore like crazy, and at this moment, something terrible happened," Mr. Wu said.

"Something terrible? What's the scary thing? Huang Jun said.

"He found that his leg was entangled in something, as if there was a force pulling him, all the way down, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled," Mr. Wu said.

"Caught in something? Could it be the corpse? Huang Jun said.

"No, no, it's something else, although he was flustered, he could see very clearly that his leg must have been held by something, but he couldn't see that thing, he was very scared, he used all his strength to break free, but it didn't work, and finally" Mr. Wu said here and did not say any more.

"In the end, he became a dead man," Huang Jun said mockingly.
