Chapter 35: The Sacrificial Pit of Unknown Ages 03
As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it is impossible to keep it secret, since it can't be 100% confidential, then simply show a little wind yourself, so as to divert the attention of those "people with hearts", so there will be rumors about this mysterious picture scroll on the market.
Of course, the people on the road are all shrewd, whether you are telling the truth or a lie, people will be able to distinguish it after listening to three sentences, so the news that is deliberately leaked out cannot be all fake, the Arabian Nights will only make people more suspicious, and then focus more attention on themselves, so the Wu family revealed one-tenth of the secrets about the maid seeking immortals, that is, the least vital part to the friends on the rivers and lakes, so there was also the so-called female fairy hunting later, It is a record of Qin Shi Huang asking Xu Fu to find the elixir of life, because the historians at that time did not dare to blatantly write the facts, but they were unwilling to hide this history forever, so they used the situation of the painting to show it.
I didn't have any thoughts about the maid looking for immortals at that time, but I just felt that even if this thing had information, it was just a record of some things about Xu Fu's search for immortals at that time, and I didn't particularly care about it.
Xiao Wu told us that there is a shocking secret hidden in the maid's search for immortals, once this secret is exposed, it is likely to subvert some conclusions of modern human science, not only that, but with the revelation of this secret, more unknown secrets will be involved, and more people will take risks in order to seek the truth. There will also be more deaths and injuries.
And about this secret, Xiao Wu said. He really didn't know, maybe it was too old. Even if there is a few words of information left, passed on to his generation, I am afraid there will be nothing left, and even if there are still a few words, I don't know how much is true.
However, Xiao Wu told us with certainty that there are indeed four places where the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice is hidden, instead of twelve or more as rumored outside. The tomb of Lingyunding in Daxue Mountain is a porch tomb found on the ancestors of the Wu family, at that time, the Wu family hid their part of the Huangquan sacrifice in the tomb, but what is puzzling is that none of the Wu family members who entered the Daxue Mountain came back alive, and after a hundred years, the descendants of the Wu family began to find newborn babies, and they were baby boys, and there would be mulberry leaf-shaped birthmarks on their wrists. Originally, it was nothing at first, but after two generations of observation, this mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark was like the life and death book of the Hades Palace, the moment the birthmark disappeared. People also die instantly, so during that time, the Wu family often reported that someone died of a violent illness. At first, people didn't know why. Later, I slowly became suspicious of this layer, but it was too ridiculous. At first, many people didn't believe it, but later it was the older generation of the Wu family. That is, the clansmen of Xiao Wu's father's generation inadvertently turned over something from their Lao Tzu's relics, which made the people of the Wu family believe this absurd statement, and the mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark is like a symbol of the Wu family's lifespan.
When I heard this, I suddenly sympathized with the Wu family, the Wu family with the surface scenery, although it occupies the position at the top of the social pyramid, how many people look up, but behind them is living in the environment of life countdown, just imagine, if I am born, someone tells me how old you can live, and then there is a mark on my wrist, which is like a character in the game, as soon as I am born, there is a blood grid on the top of my head, and if there is no blood, I will die, and there is no chance of resurrection.
Thinking of this, I glanced at Xiao Wu with great sympathy, his tone of voice has been very peaceful, without any big ups and downs, I noticed that on his wrist, the mulberry leaf-shaped birthmark appeared at some point, the birthmark the size of a soybean grain is very dark in color, and at first glance it looks like a cigarette scar.
Xiao Wu saw that I was looking at his wrist, his expression looked a little unnatural, and he hurriedly pulled down his sleeve to cover his wrist, and said: "Since the Wu family knew about this curse, they began to organize people to go to the Great Snow Mountain to try to take out the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice, but batch after batch of people went in, but there was no news, until twenty years ago, when my father and my master went, the last time, although they came back alive, they also suffered heavy losses, even if it was Zhang Ye, it took three years to recuperate. ”
I said, "Your Wu family thinks that it is the reason for the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice that will cause the Wu family to have this curse, so you want to take it out, but what about taking it out?" Burned or buried? ”
Xiao Wu shook his head, looking a little confused, "Actually, I don't know, I asked my father, but my father doesn't seem to understand very well, but if we don't do this, we have no other way, can we just watch the Wu family live from generation to generation in this curse of time countdown?" Moreover, when the Wu family arrives in my generation, there are only me and Xiaodong. ”
I was a little surprised, "What about Wu Yue?" ”
Xiao Wu looked at me a little strangely, "Can you guess that Xiao Dong is from the Wu family, can't you guess Wu Yue's identity?" ”
I said in my heart, no, such a confidential action, an action related to the fate of the family, if it is not the Wu family, it is absolutely impossible to get close to the center of the operation, the old man Wu can recall Wu Jun and Xiaodong thousands of miles away, but he alone puts Wu Yue in the West Lake Villa as a janitor, how to think that this is also unreasonable.
Qian Jue seemed to believe what Xiao Wu said, and he asked, "Where are the other three?" ”
Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "There must be one in Quicksand Village, the Bai family should be with us, as for the Xiao family." He suddenly looked at me, "Well, you should know." ”
I smiled, and said in my heart that if I knew, I wouldn't have taken so many detours and been used so many times.
"There are many people with the surname Xiao in the world, how do you know that I am the Xiao family you are looking for."
Xiao Wu was a little helpless, but he couldn't ignore me yet, so he just said lightly: "I said, although there are many Xiao families, there is only one family that understands the Huangquan ciphertext, and you are still trying to deny it, is it interesting?" ”
I was a little speechless when he asked, and I felt that I was quite hypocritical, and I was all here, what else to pretend, it was quite boring.
A little embarrassed smiled, and didn't say anything, Xiao Wu saw that I didn't speak, probably because I felt that I had confessed, but when it was my turn, I didn't say a word, I was a little unhappy at the moment, and asked: "To be a man is to be trustworthy, since you are an ally, you should always have some sincerity." ”
I looked at him, and said in my heart that your grandmother's, the stinky boy who hasn't been weaned actually dares to talk to me like this, Lao Tzu himself hasn't made it white, what am I telling you, can I tell you how my mother is used, how embarrassed in the fight, how to be played by women, a man will not say.
I was still hesitating, Qian Jue on the side couldn't help it, he naturally knew my concerns, so he laughed and said: "If you ask him about the Xiao family, he didn't grow up in the Xiao family since he was a child, but now is not the time to investigate this matter, now that we know the true location of the Huangquan Immortal Sacrifice, since everyone wants to find this strange book, let's start with Daxue Mountain, and I think that the reason why Zhang Xianjun asked Mu Jia to cooperate must also be because the secret of the Bai family is also in Daxue Mountain, in this case, We'll take care of the Snow Mountain side first, and then we'll think about the rest. ”
Xiao Wu nodded in agreement, and just as we were about to set off again, Xiao Wu suddenly said, "Time is running out, I hope it's still too late." ”
I was surprised, "What's the running out of time?" ”
Xiao Wu pointed to his wrist, "Three years." (To be continued.) )
