Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Friend Who Suddenly Appeared (Part II) Revised Edition

This little brother who appeared inexplicably disappeared in front of my eyes with a mysterious color.

After he left, I thought for a moment, maybe he was just a native who came to touch gold?

Carrying Liang Jun on his shoulder, he held Jiang Yuan in his hand, and walked towards me step by step, complaining as he went, saying that he shouldn't have been greedy for money to come here in the first place, it was too dangerous.

I didn't have this kind of thought in my heart, although I thought about quitting when I first went down to the cave, when I met those difficult terracotta warriors and green-haired scorpions, but when I thought of the incident I experienced as a child, I couldn't help but get involved, and there seemed to be such a line leading me in this direction.

About ten or twenty years ago, I can't remember the exact time, but I think I was very young at that time, because I could walk upright under our high chairs.

At that time, there were only three servants and one driver in my family, no parents and no elders, and the one who raised me in the clan was a distant cousin, but he didn't come often, once in a few months, he lost a sum of money and disappeared again.

I remember that it was a Mid-Autumn Festival, because when I saw that scene that night, I was holding half a mooncake in my hand.

The moonlight is bright, the stars are cloudless, in the villa area of the A courtyard of the Xiao family's mansion, I was playing hide and seek with a child on the roof terrace, and then I don't know what happened, the child jumped off the building inexplicably, but fortunately the swimming pool of my house below, this jump just fell into the pool, although I choked a few mouthfuls of water, but there was no danger.

After the incident, one of the three servants, a woman named Ah Xiang, carried me to a storeroom, and she said that she was going to play a game on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and if she won the moon goddess, she would fulfill one of my wishes.

I believed it because I wanted to see my parents so much, because I had never met them, and I was just told from a family photo who was my father and who was my mother.

The rules of the game are very simple, it is more than endurance, whoever can hide in the shadows and do not move, do not make a sound, and is not discovered, who wins. The losing side will be penalized for cleaning the pool.

Ah Xiang is a very beautiful girl, although I was an ignorant child at that time, but I also had an aesthetic heart, among the three servants, my favorite is to be with her.

Everything is ready to go.

There were a lot of discarded empty boxes in the storage room, and I got into one of them and poked a small hole in the box to breathe air, but I never thought that this was how I saw a scene that I shouldn't have seen.

A boy half a head taller than me was led into the pantry by a burly man, and at the same time, on the floor of the pantry, a bald man came up from under the floor that had been lifted, and after him there were seven or eight other men.

These people, with a strong murderous aura all over their bodies, all have a scar on their faces, and the position and shape are almost identical.

The burly man let go of the little boy's hand and asked him, "All the people you want to see are here, so don't hesitate to ask?" ”

The man spoke in a gloomy tone, as if he was very unhappy.

The little boy closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and after half a sound, he said slowly: "Among the Ming artifacts unearthed from the Qinghe Ancient Tomb, there is a jade artifact called the Blood Phoenix. ”

Everyone shook their heads and said nothing, the bald head also shook his head at first, but then he didn't know why, maybe he remembered something, and whispered: "We found a bamboo slip, it was still very complete when it first came out, but it was instantly oxidized as soon as it came into contact with the air, this is one of them, we have done emergency treatment, and the residual words on it can not be identified much." ”

The little boy took a piece of black bamboo, carefully bowed it and said: "This is a kind of military cipher in a minority area in the snowy frontier area, which reads "The full moon is full and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, reborn from the fire."

At that time, I had already begun to learn idioms and read some books about this kind, and rebirth from the fire generally refers to phoenix nirvana, which is an interpretation of "rebirth".

I didn't know any of these things at the time, except that the little boy suddenly put the bamboo slip on the table in the storeroom when he finished these eight words, and then knelt in front of it and kowtowed four times.

And the moment he knelt down, I seemed to see some strange patterns on his arms, these patterns were delicate and charming, and at a glance, I had already remembered what it looked like, but after a long time, I gradually forgot it.

Today, I have seen the same tattoo for the second time, and although I am not sure that the little brother is the little boy I saw when I was a child, I can at least be sure of one thing, that is, the "rebirth from the ashes" mentioned on the bamboo slip is likely to be the method of rebirth that kings from ancient times to the present have sought at any cost. In addition, there must be some relationship between the blood phoenix and the golden phoenix Zhaowen Yubi, the phoenix is a sacred bird, and the ancient Chinese called it the king of birds.

Little by little, my memories came back, but my heart grew heavier and heavier.

What kind of family did I grow up in?

In the corridor, the "big octopus" seemed to have no strength to toss, and several of its tentacles were swaying weakly in the air, as if it was resting.

The gnats gave Jiang Yuan some medicines, all of which were good medicines to refresh his mind, because Jiang Yuan was inseparable from here.

Liang Jun doesn't seem to be very optimistic, he hasn't woken up, just fell asleep so drowsily, occasionally his fingers will move, and there are no external injuries on his body, I really can't find out the reason, I tried to call a few times, but there was no response.

"Boss, what are we going to do next?" Some of the gnats have no master.

I glanced at the big octopus that was in a semi-dormant state not far away, and said, "Don't worry, that monster may be running out of energy, this is an opportunity for us, solve this thing first, and the road behind will be safe." ”

The gnats understood what I meant, but he hesitated, and said, "Boss, let's let it go, it's a creature that lives in underground caves, and as long as humans don't invade its territory, it will stay so silently underground." ”

Actually, I didn't really plan to kill them all, because I found a problem, although this monster was fierce and aggressive, it didn't really hurt us. A lot of the injuries we have are due to accidents.

The blue phantom flashed, and I screamed, and sat on the ground, my palms stained with some sticky liquid, and there was a faint sweetness to smell it.

"Hell!" The gnats screamed, then turned to look at me, frightened and teased me, saying, "Boss, you were sorry for your sister-in-law back then, and now she has come to settle accounts with you." ”

I knew that the "sister-in-law" he said was referring to Zhang Yuan, and immediately scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't look at what kind of place this is, there is no taboo at all." ”

The grasshopper shrugged, and at this time I saw that Jiang Yuan's face was very calm, his eyes rolled and then looked at me and said, "I'm hungry." ”

"Huh?"

“”

"Boss, what's going on?"

"How do I know?"

"I'm hungry."

“”
