"You saw that before, it's not an incense burner in the strict sense, it's a Dan burner." Teacher Tian said.

"Dan Furnace?"

"Yes, according to our analysis, it is the Dan furnace described in the story that uses the painstaking efforts of three generations to refine the elixir." He replied.

"How so?"

Teacher Tian asked me rhetorically, "Have you taken it down and taken a closer look?" ”

"......No," I muttered, "I was about to get it and hallucinate. ”

This sentence made the three people present seem to be surprised, and they all asked in unison, "What hallucination?" ”

I described the three scenes that were more impressive at that time. When they heard this, they fell silent for a moment, as if they were each in some thought.

After a long while, Teacher Tian continued: "This silk book talks about this Dan furnace, and it also has a name, 'Blood Rock Furnace'. Did you know that the oracle bone inscription of the word 'blood' is the shape of a vessel? It means that the ancients sacrificed blood to the gods. As for Iso, it is also easy to understand, because it is not made of metal, but of stone. ”

The more I listened, the more confused I became, and I couldn't help but stop him and ask, "Wait, can you simplify the whole thing so that I can understand it all at once?" ”

Uncle Zhao probably saw that I had completely lost my logic, so he took over and said, "Let me, a person who is not engaged in science, tell you." To put it simply, your family is burdened with a curse that may have lasted for thousands of years, and the main point is that each generation of male heirs of the family will go through a series of events in adulthood, requiring him to find a way to break the curse and find a secret hidden by his ancestors in their lineage before he dies. ”

I could hear the euphemism in his expression. Frankly ask, "You mean, if I don't find a way to solve this mystery, I might die inexplicably?" ”

He couldn't bear it, but he nodded reluctantly.

He spoke so bluntly that I was caught off guard, and then, like the first question I learn about a terminally ill person usually asks a doctor, I slowly asked, "How much time do I have left?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, all of them hesitated, and finally Uncle Zhao replied, "Judging from the extent of your injuries today, it is estimated that time is running out." ”

As soon as I heard a buzz in my head, I couldn't hold my breath anymore and stood up and yelled, "Impossible! This...... It's not scientific! I was living a good life before I came to Beijing, how could it suddenly become like this? Why is there no time? What kind of blood curse, blood furnace, how can I believe your baseless speculations? ……”

As if they expected me to have such a reaction, they all looked at me calmly, even Tian Ge was not affected by my momentum in the slightest, and his eyes were calm and full of understanding. The more they do this, the more I can't believe everything they say, and it breaks me down even more!

After shouting at these three people for a long time, I only felt that my mouth was dry and my tongue was dry, my head was splitting, my chest was extremely stuffy, my hands and feet were numb and stiff as if I did not obey the call, and finally I fell to the stone bench as if I had lost my strength, my eyes were blank, and I did not say a word.

I sat there for a long time, and my mind went blank. I don't know when Tian Ge thoughtfully took a cup of tea and put it in front of me. I watched in amazement as a tender green leaf hung on the water, and then slowly sank but did not fall to the bottom, and smelled its fragrant aroma, and knew that it must be a good cup of tea.

I also felt the sun shining warmly on my head and body through the shade of the trees, and the breeze caressed my cheeks, which was indescribably comfortable. Finally, touched by the five senses, my mind gradually calmed down, and my reason slowly recovered.

Over the years, I have read a lot of martial arts novels, and sometimes I really envy the heroes in them, walking the rivers and lakes, being free, happy and hateful, encountering so many new and interesting things, and having such ups and downs in life, how dull and boring my life is in comparison! Now, how do I seem to have become the protagonist of a novel? And the things I experienced are not inferior to those in the novel, and maybe even if my wish comes true.

They say it well, but I'm still alive after all, aren't I? Who can say that I can't solve this bullshit puzzle and beat those so-called immortals to the ground?

As soon as I thought of this, the strength of not admitting defeat in my heart came up again, and I wanted to see what kind of beating sex that spell would be?

"I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited. I know you are all doing a lot for my good and for me, and my father and I should be thankful to you, really! I said to them sincerely.

They were visibly relieved to hear me say this, and a smile of relief appeared on their faces.

I picked up the tea and took a sip, it was fragrant but not greasy, sweet but not astringent, and had a long aftertaste, and I couldn't help but praise: "It's really good tea!" Tian Ge, change a big bowl for me, I want to have thirty or fifty bowls! ”

Tian Ge teased me: "What is it bad for senior brother to learn? Scholars drink tea like donkeys? ”

I also laughed and said, "Don't talk about it, can a donkey be so blessed?" Sitting with two high-level intellectuals, and a beautiful girl who ordered a baby kiss to pour tea? ”

As soon as she heard me say this, she immediately "puffed" and looked at me with a red face and a huff, unable to answer correctly. Uncle Zhao and Teacher Tian laughed on the side, and the atmosphere was suddenly no longer depressing.

After chatting for a while, I stood up and said, "Two uncles, forgive me for missing me for a while." The brother who was injured for me is still in the hospital, and I want to meet him. He's always been concerned about me, and I wish I could have known more. ”

Turning his head and saying to Tian Ge, "Please help me translate the contents of the silk book into Chinese, and I will take a closer look to see if I can recall anything." ”

After saying that, he said goodbye to them, walked out of the Tianjia courtyard, and went straight to the People's Hospital.

On the one hand, I really wanted to know what was written in the silk book, and on the other hand, I didn't want her to follow me. If what they say is true, whoever is around me will be unlucky.

And, right now, I really want to be alone and sort out the information I've just gotten.

The People's Hospital is not very far from the school, and it is less than a stop west along the main road. As I walked on the road, I felt noticeably more cautious than before. Stay close to the side of the road to avoid traffic, that's for sure, and when you see a lush tree, you will also go around a little to prevent anything from falling from the tree. If the person walking over from the opposite side lowers his head and one side, he quickly staggers away, for fear that someone will talk to him and cause some branches. After walking like this for a while, I felt funny.

As the saying goes: Hades wants you to die on the third watch, and he will not keep anyone until the fifth watch.

If it really deserves to be doomed, what's the use of being cautious? But isn't it even more boring that these shrinking practices first damage morale, as if they were living in the world?

So he let go of his courage, raised his head and chest, and walked forward with his head held high, singing as he walked: Sister, you boldly go forward, go forward, don't look back! ……

In this way, I walked all the way to the hospital.

I don't think there will be too many people who come to the hospital with an iron hammer in their hands, and sure enough, as soon as I asked the nurse, she immediately pointed out a specific ward for me.

When I walked into the ward, I saw Wang Jianguo sitting on a hospital bed at a glance, with a thick bandage on his right hand and a drip on his left hand, constantly bargaining with the nurse next to him, wanting to leave as soon as possible.

I walked over and asked with a smile, "Xiaoguo, how is it?" ”

When he saw me, he was overjoyed and quickly said, "The drill has been taken out and wrapped, but they still won't let me go!" ”

The nurse on the side was annoyed by him, and her eyes glared and said, "The tetanus shot hasn't been given yet!" Now gone, who is responsible for the infection? ”

Wang Jianguo straightened his backbone and said: "I am responsible for myself!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I quickly rounded the field and said to the nurse: "I'm his brother, I have the final say, the tetanus shot must be given, I am responsible for watching him, and I also trouble you to help us get it as soon as possible." Then he leaned into her ear and whispered: "My younger brother, timid, afraid of injections since he was a child, hurry up to finish the injection to save him from crying for a while, isn't it?" ”

The nurse listened to the flutter, picked up her things and left.

Seeing that there was no one else in the house, I gently closed the door, walked to the hospital bed and said to Wang Jianguo: "Come, you lie down and rest for a while, and I will tell you a story to relieve your boredom." ”

He seemed to be about to ask me about going to Tian's house, but he seemed a little puzzled when I said this, and seeing that I was serious, he still lay down obediently.

So I sat down and told him the story that my family had been telling him for generations, but with a slightly different version:

A long, long time ago, there was an old man who learned an important secret, and he could neither tell anyone directly nor let it sink into the sea, so he thought of a way to put a curse on his descendants, so that the men of the descendants would encounter some inexplicable events when they reached adulthood, and if they could not finally find the secret by breaking the curse, they would die early.

Of course, on the premise of basically keeping it as it is, there are some of my additions in the middle. Ask him what he thinks.

I also deliberately did not mention the specific details of the Silk Book and the Blood Rock Furnace, so as not to make him preconceived. With such a bizarre plot, I guess he won't associate it with me for the time being, and can make a relatively objective analysis.

Sure enough, he thought for a moment and said, "This old man is so strange, wouldn't this harm his descendants!" What secret is worth paying so much? ”

I feel the same way! Whose ancestors didn't look forward to the prosperity of future generations and the prosperity of the family! Why is my ancestor so ruthless and wants to force future generations to die? And how could he be so confident that he wouldn't cut off the incense halfway through because of this unfortunate curse?

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered that our family is really a single family for several generations, if it started to die unexpectedly when I became an adult, it should have been broken a long time ago, how could it continue to me? My old man was in his forties when he died, and now I am almost thirty, and I didn't "die early", what's going on?

Another important point mentioned by Wang Jianguo is also very important: what is the secret that is worth so much trouble?

Moreover, if according to Mr. Tian, this secret has been thousands of years ago, even if it is really dug up? What does it have to do with modern society?

It seems that there are still quite a lot of doubts in this!

Wang Jianguo saw that I was lost in thought, and asked strangely, "Boss Yong, what's wrong with you?" By the way, have you ever been to Tian Ge's house? What's the catch? ”
