Poker Face cleaned up the tomb, threw the poisoned venison prepared by Mayisha, sealed the hole in the top of the tomb, and then filled the thief hole with dirt to completely block it, and then returned to the village with Zhuo Fan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The village is still peaceful, because of the small number of people, there are hardly any people to be seen as far as the eye can see, and the thin mist is always there, like. Lao Jiang had already slept in Mayisha's house all day, and when he heard that Pokerface and Zhuo Fan were back, he was not busy getting up and waiting for Pokerface to come to him. But the wait lasted until the evening. Reluctantly, he got up and looked through the window to see Zhuo Fan and Maisha walking side by side in the distance. Mayisha was wearing a long dress, which looked really good in Lao Jiang's eyes, but Zhuo Fan walked beside Mayisha, which made him not very comfortable up and down.

"Zhuo Fan, why are you here?" Lao Jiang raised his head slightly, his eyes turned between Mayisha and Zhuo Fan, while wanting to stare at Mayisha, he was quite embarrassed, so he could only look at Mayisha for a while and look at Zhuo Fan for a while.

"I haven't seen each other for a long time, so let's talk."

"So, what are you talking about?"

"We're talking about Yu Yue."

As soon as Lao Jiang heard this, he hurriedly pulled Zhuo Fan aside and explained in a low voice, "The poker face is Dr. Shen's matter, only you and I know, but you can't let Ma Yisha know." ”

Zhuo Fan nodded, "I haven't figured this out yet, so I won't tell her." ”

Lao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then remembered the poker face again, so he asked, "What about the poker face?" ”

"He was called by Grandpa Kurban. Maybe I'm going to see Dongge. Maisha said.

Lao Jiang and Ma Yisha's eyes staggered, Lao Jiang's face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly shifted his gaze and said, "Then I'll go see Dongge too." With that, his eyes lingered on Mayisha as he walked towards Kurban's house.

To say that after watching Dongge, he was taken to the next room by Kurban, who walked barefoot and sat on the ground like other old men with fairy wind bones. He and Poker Face sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat, smiling. To say that Kurban's first impression of poker face is like that of a wise man in ancient times, who seems to know everything and does not say anything.

"Grandpa Kurban." Poker Face instinctively folded his hands and bowed slightly at Kurban.

"Actually, I've seen you, young man." Kurban's voice was deep and powerful.

Kurban's words surprised Pokerface, but Pokerface didn't show the slightest hint of surprise and said, "Please." ”

At that time, Mayisha's grandfather had not yet died. You must have heard what Maisha said, I was very good friends with her grandfather, I was many years older than his grandfather, and when he was younger, his grandfather liked to follow me, and even though he became a high priest, our friendship was still very good. He stroked his beard and laughed.

Speaking of Mayisha's grandfather, Poker's face was a little guilty, "If it weren't for us, Mayisha's grandfather wouldn't have died, and you wouldn't have come to this place." ”

Kurban looked at the poker face quietly with a smile, leaned closer slightly, and said meaningfully, "If I said that Maisha's grandfather and I had expected all this a long time ago, what would you say?" ”

Poker Face was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Kurban to say that. He folded his hands again, a little apprehensive, "The younger generation is young, and he can't understand the mystery here." ”

"A lot of things are actually predestined. Mayisha's grandfather has been waiting for you, and he has long known that one day, foreigners will come to the village and show them the way home. He paused, then added, "I'm saying this so bluntly, you shouldn't be confused, right?" ”

"Yes." Pokerface already knows the origin of the Moonlight Clan, so he can naturally understand what Kurban means by "the way home".

Kurban smiled with satisfaction, "Coincidentally, it really made him look forward to it." ”

Kurban laughed twice and then fell silent, "The High Priest is in charge of everything in the Moonlight Clan, and each High Priest has his own mission, and Mayisha's grandfather should have completed his mission." Kurban nodded, as if digesting the grief in his heart.

"At that time, I knew what you talked to Grandpa Maisha. So now, what do you want to ask? ”

Poker Face didn't speak, he wanted to ask too much, he sorted out his thoughts, and finally asked the first question, "Is Mayisa's grandfather really leaving nothing for her?" ”

Kurban smiled calmly, "Well, nothing is left, but nothing is left for Maisha." ”

"What do you mean?" Poker face is puzzled.

Kurban took a deep breath and continued, "The secrets of the Moonlight Clan are not recorded in writing, nor are there any tokens, they are all passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation of high priests. So what Mayisa's grandfather said to Mayisha at what time, that's the most important thing. ”

"But Mayisha said she didn't remember anything important her grandfather had told her."

"What is special to Maisha is what they need to protect as their high priest. Perhaps, as small as a word written when I was a child, a sentence I said, or as big as a mythical story I listened to...... "Kurban held up the teacup and drank saliva to moisten his throat."

Poker Face pondered Kurban's words carefully, and felt that they were very meaningful, perhaps something that was particularly common to Maisha was the secret they passed on by word of mouth. It's just that it doesn't be pointed out, and this is the secret they guard.

Seeing that Kurban had a feeling on his poker face, he was not in a hurry, and drank his saliva again. He changed his conversation and said, "That cemetery, cleaned up?" ”

Poker Face nodded, "Yes, it's completely blocked, and the man-eating ants inside can't get out." ”

"At the beginning, when I brought the clansmen, I didn't expect that this place had become a dead dragon's lair." Kurban said with emotion.

"How do you know?"

Kurban seemed to be recalling something a long time ago, and his white eyebrows raised slightly, "A long time ago, after the Loulan people killed some of their own people, it is natural that some of the people of Loulan are unwilling to follow the royal family to migrate. Later, these people who stayed behind were attacked and killed by the barbarians, and there were a large number of them, and the barbarians in order to wash away this stain and let themselves inherit the treasure of Loulan justifiably, so they transported these corpses to the deep mountains of the Tianshan Mountains, built a tomb, and buried everyone in this tomb. At that time, no matter which country it was, it believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, and the barbarians were no exception, so it was natural that when choosing this cemetery, they chose a location with excellent feng shui, which was here. Kurban shook his head, "Time changes, and even feng shui will change with it." Also, so many unjust souls of Loulan are buried here......"

"That's ...... so"

"Anyway, now the villagers are used to the sunrise and sunset here." After speaking, he looked at the poker face again, "Do you have something you always wanted to say?" ”

Pokerface sat up straight, "Don't dare, but I do have one thing I want to ask you." ”

"Tell me, since I invited you over, I will tell you everything I know."

"Thank you. You have a deep friendship with Mayisa's grandfather, so do you know about the box of the hundred ghosts and the gate of the world? Pokerface didn't want to make a lot of detours, maybe Kurban already understood that it was this question that Pokerface wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

Kurban pondered for a long time, as if clearing his thoughts, and after a long time he said, "The gate of the world, I think that what I know and can tell you is no more than what Grandpa Mayisha told you at that time. But...... The box of the hundred ghosts ......" Kurban stood up and admonished, "You wait here for me." After saying that, he walked into the back room.

The orange-red light of the setting sun shone outside the window, and the interior was warm, and looking out from the curtain of the window, the mist was also dyed with a layer of faint light.

When Kurban came out, he held a book with a cowhide cover in his hand. He handed it to Poker Face and said kindly, "This is a thank you gift for saving Dongge." ”

Poker Face curiously took the notebook and opened it.

The pages in the notebook are a little worn and damaged, but the content of the record is very clear. No, it's not the words that are recorded, it's the map.

"Isn't this the map I found on Grandpa Maisha's bookshelf?" After turning a few pages, Poker Face became more determined, "At that time, Mayisha said that it was a map that her grandfather taught her to draw when she was a child. Poker Face suddenly understood something, as Kurban said before, perhaps, Mayisa's grandfather had already passed on the secrets of the clan to Mayisha through daily life.

Kurban nodded with satisfaction, "This is Grandpa Maisha's handbook before his death, and according to him, the map inside shows the location map of the Hundred Ghosts' Box." When he saw you, he entrusted me with this book. Mayisha has never gained prestige in the village, so I didn't give her the account. But now, I think, I'll leave it to you, too. ”

Poker Face respectfully closed the handbook, "I will make a manuscript of the handbook tonight, this is a precious relic of grandpa for Mayisha, it is better to leave it to Mayisha." ”

As the sun sets, the light in the room gets dimmer and dimmer, leaving only a slanting corner. Pokerface knew that the conversation was nearing an end and that it was time for him to get up and take his leave. He walked to the door and suddenly thought of something. Looking back at Kurban, who was sitting motionless, he asked, "While I was in the burial chamber, I noticed something very strange. ”

Kurban didn't show more curiosity about the strangeness of what Pokerface said, but slowly raised his head and looked at Pokerface, as if waiting for Pokerface to continue.

"Why, there is a little hole in the skull?"

Kurban smiled slightly, the smile was not obvious under the cover of his beard, and he said, "This may be another secret of the Moonlight Clan." After Kurban finished speaking, he looked out the window and did not look at the poker face again

Pokerface knew he shouldn't ask again, and turned away.
