Chapter Twenty-Six: The Truth and the Illusion

After Che Ming entered the house, he took a look at the situation of the room, this is an ordinary rural house, there are doors on the left and right, it should be the bedroom, the position where Che Ming is standing should be the living room, a circle of sofas around a coffee table, and a few wardrobes around, Che Ming looked at the old man sitting on the sofa and said, "What is the old man called?" ”

The old man lit a cigarette, then motioned for everyone to sit down and talk, each of them scattered a cigarette, took a deep breath and exhaled a puff of smoke before he spoke: "If you can smoke, light it, put it down if you can't, don't waste it, you just call me Uncle Huang, that is my son just now, a little stupid, don't laugh." “

Che Ming picked up the cigarette on the table, lit and took a puff, feeling a little choked, but it was acceptable, seeing that he didn't speak here, Che Ming had to continue to speak: "That's the case, we came here to play in the early years, and lived in Uncle Zhang's house, this year a few of us came to play again, and found that Uncle Zhang's house was closed, and the house was going to be sold, so I thought that a few of us would buy the house, anyway, we are not far from here, and we will occasionally come over to play in the future, we also feel that Uncle Zhang is a good person, so we asked why the old man went, Didn't this find you here? “

Uncle Huang took a puff of cigarette and said, "That's right, how many years ago did you come here?" “

Che Ming suddenly didn't know what to say, and Tengu hurriedly opened his mouth to take it: "They all came with us this year, the three of us came here two years ago, and we came here in time for the summer vacation, and at that time, Uncle Zhang's family still had a few horses, and we rode to play." “

Uncle Huang nodded and said: "Alas, Lao Zhang is also a sin, the matter has passed, if you are a good believer, you want to know, so you will have a meal at my place at night, let's talk about it, and also accompany me to chat, we are drinking a little, you see, okay?" ”

Che Ming looked at the tengu, and then said to Uncle Huang, "Okay, no problem." ”

Uncle Huang smiled and shouted outside: "Black Cow, you go buy some cooked food, you are killing two local chickens, do you hear?" ”

"Well, well, got it, Dad." The voice of the black cow came, and then the black cow also entered the house, it turned out that the water was boiled, the black cow gave everyone a cup of tea, and then hurriedly ran out to get food, Che Ming suddenly had a good impression of this honest man, but he was also faintly worried in his heart, hoping that the black cow was so by nature, and he did not participate in this matter.

In this way, Che Ming and Tiangu chatted with Uncle Huang one sentence at a time, Lao Dao sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to recuperate, Jin Shan walked around the house, Jiang Cheng and Li Weixin sat on both sides of Tiangu forever and did not speak, and after a while, the black bull ran in and said: "Dad, a few guests, the meal is ready, let's go to the courtyard to eat." ”

Uncle Huang stood up and said with a smile: "Well, okay, a few little brothers, please." Uncle Huang stretched out a hand to Che Ming and invited the others.

Che Ming, Tengu and the others also stood up and hurriedly said this polite word, and the group came out and saw that a table had been set up in the middle of the courtyard, on which a sumptuous dinner was placed, and Uncle Huang hurriedly invited everyone to the table.

This way of eating is very popular in farmhouses, it is considered to be a return to nature, and it is very comfortable to eat and drink outside in the summer, and there will be a shed on it, even if it rains.

Hei Niu prepared dishes and chopsticks for everyone, and then poured wine and went back to the house, Che Ming asked curiously: "Uncle Huang, how did Hei Niu get in, don't you eat together?" “

Uncle Huang waved his hand: "There are guests, how can he be qualified to serve at the table, and we can talk about things, he knows that it is not good." After speaking, he smiled mysteriously.

Che Ming suddenly felt frightened, and thought to himself, could it be that Uncle Huang knows our purpose? I'm going to make it clear, what does he mean mysteriously? Che Ming didn't figure it out for a long time, and only listened to Uncle Huang's next words.

Uncle Huang picked up a glass of wine and toasted everyone and said, "Come on, let's take a sip together, I'll do it first." After speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one go, and the tengu also drank it in one go, Lao Dao and Jin Shan didn't drink, Che Ming didn't ask what's going on, and Uncle Huang didn't persuade him to drink, Che Ming gritted his teeth and dried up the wine in the cup in one go, almost two or two, the hot feeling in the mouth instantly filled the entire mouth, and when he swallowed it, it felt hot from the throat to the stomach, Che Ming insisted on it, Uncle Huang gave a thumbs up to Che Ming and said with a smile: "This little brother, you are a gentleman enough, you can't drink alcohol and still drink like this, you are a real person, Let's eat first, this is my own pickled, and it can be regarded as a hangover side dish. After speaking, he picked up a piece of pickles from the table and put it in Che Ming's bowl, Che Ming hurriedly ate it in one bite, and sure enough, it was much more comfortable after eating, and there was a trace of coolness in his mouth, Uncle Huang looked at Che Ming and laughed: "This is our specialty here, the older ones will get it, it is a wild vegetable that grows on the mountain, we call it a drum cabbage, and it tastes like a radish, but it also has a little mint coolness, and we all eat it." ”

Che Ming hurriedly nodded and said, "I really don't know how to drink liquor, let's drink it, I'll drink some beer, just cool and cool." ”

Uncle Huang nodded and continued: "You are here for Lao Zhang, let's respect Lao Zhang for a cup." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and gestured to the sky, and then fell to the ground, Che Ming and Tengu were just about to talk, and asked what was going on, Uncle Huang waved his hand and signaled not to speak, Che Ming and Tengu also learned from Uncle Huang's practice, poured the wine on the ground, Lao Dao suddenly stood up, and said with a shocked face: "I seem to understand." ”

Uncle Huang said with a bitter face: "You understand, why don't you talk about it?" ”

Lao Dao bent over Uncle Huang's luggage, got up and said, "Let's say it." ”

Uncle Huang took a bite of food and then spoke: "I'll tell you a story, maybe you will understand what's going on after listening to the story, if you still have questions, just ask me, thousands of years ago here was the tribe of the Yellow Emperor, called the Bear Tribe, and then the emperor went on an expedition, Chiyou sent troops to attack the tribe of the Yellow Emperor, the two sides fought here, with countless casualties, and later the Yellow Emperor won the victory, but also suffered heavy losses, and the tribal population decreased sharply, but the Yellow Emperor also had to conquer the world and deter the heroes, so he used the corpses of warriors to build tombs around the tribe, It is claimed to be building a fortress to the outside world, but the fortress is full of dead soldiers, and then building a mechanism, and then equipped with a tomb keeper to guard, so that the bear tribe is protected around, but there are natural disasters in ancient times**, there was an earthquake, the entire bear tribe collapsed, disappeared from the world, and was buried deep in the ground, the Yellow Emperor was in the tribal ruins, everyone sealed the emperor's platform, and then led all the clansmen to go on the expedition, never came back, Lao Zhang and I are the descendants of the tomb keepers, passed to our book, we don't know what we want to protect, But it has been passed down from generation to generation, and suddenly a huge archaeological team came in the past nine years, and took out ancient documents to prove that this is the last tomb of the Yellow Emperor, I and Lao Zhang believed it at the time, but we are different in that Lao Zhang also wants to open the tomb, I really just want to stay here, our ancestors have passed on a mantra from mouth to mouth, I won't say this mantra, the use of the mantra is the road up the mountain, it is a safe road, there is no danger, Lao Zhang took the archaeological team on the bear mountain, There is a bear mountain is the place where Lao Zhang guards, but I don't know what's wrong, only Lao Zhang went down the mountain, everyone died on the mountain, I suspect that Lao Zhang secretly made a bad thing, harmed so many people, but I can't stop it, just like that, it happened for almost 20 years, and then you came over, a group of people went to the descendants of the forest first, and another group went to the bear mountain, I didn't expect that they not only came out safely, but also came together, a few days ago Lao Zhang came to me and told me about your affairs, he pitted you for a while, and then he came back, But what I didn't expect was an accident on the way, Lao Zhang was injured, and poisoned, and it was highly poisonous, and he died within a few days of coming back, his old mother couldn't accept it for a while, and died, Lao Zhang left a message before he died, and asked me to sell the house, and the grave keeper will be gone in his lifetime, everything will go naturally, and said that if you come out alive, let me treat you to a good meal, and then tell you about it, Lao Zhang said, he has seen money in his life, and killed a lot of people, In the end, it is not good to die, if you like the house, you can stay and live by yourself, he doesn't want money, he will give it to you, if you don't like it, let me sell it, and then say that you don't want to look for the tomb, you can't find it, unless you use countless manpower and material resources, dig up this radius of hundreds of miles to the bottom of the sky, otherwise you can't find it, and he doesn't know where the tomb is, there are many dangerous factors, I hope you go back to the city to live a good life, Lao Zhang left after explaining, his son came back, took Lao Zhang's ashes and returned to the city, That's the way it is. “

After Uncle Huang finished speaking, he drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the people present didn't speak, Che Ming was the most shocked, and the matter was over? Uncle Zhang is dead? Che Ming's brain was in a mess, knowing the news that Uncle Zhang had died, Che Ming said goodbye to Uncle Huang after a few people had eaten, and the group returned to the county overnight, found a hotel to live in, and waited for the monkey to come back, after arriving at the hotel, Che Ming asked Lao Dao: "When did you know?" “

Lao Dao said suspiciously: "What do you know? “

Che Ming said: "At Uncle Huang's house, before Uncle Huang didn't say anything about Uncle Zhang, you stood up and said, I understand, how did you know at that time?" “

Lao Dao smiled mysteriously: "Do you believe what he said?" “

Che Ming asked rhetorically: "What don't you believe, our affairs have been said from before to after people, so I'll ask you how do you know?" ”

Lao Dao continued, "Do you believe in Tengu now? ”

Che Ming paused: "I don't know, I don't know what they think, people are too complicated, I want to believe him, but it's the same thing whether he believes me or not." ”

Lao Dao continued: "Wait for now, when the monkey comes back, I will be sure, and then I will go and talk to the tengu, if nothing happens, I am afraid that something big will happen again." ”

Che Ming wanted to continue to ask, Jin Shan came over and grabbed Che Ming and said, "Don't be so anxious, I thought you were mature when I looked at you at Uncle Huang's house, and you looked like a character, why did you become like a child again when you came out." ”

Che Ming laughed: "I'm pretending, I can't help it, you don't speak, I have to bite the bullet." “

Jin Shan pinched her waist with both hands and said, "You, you're really stupid, Lao Dao is observing, what can I say as a woman?" Jiang Cheng and Li Weixin are following the tengu, what can they say if the tengu doesn't speak, hurry up and find a place to rest for a while, wait for the monkey to come, and see what the old Tao says. “

Che Ming stood quietly on the balcony alone, enjoying the cool evening breeze, and also waiting for the return of the monkey, until noon the next day, the monkey finally returned, but it didn't seem to be in a very good state, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked tired.

After the monkey saw Che Ming and the others, he drank a large glass of water directly, lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa, and the old man saw that the monkey seemed to be ready and asked, "Have you found something?" ”

The monkey nodded and didn't speak, and Lao Dao also nodded, then looked at the tengu and said, "Tengu, tell me what you think." ”

Tengu asked suspiciously, "What do you think?" ”

Lao Dao sneered: "What do you think?" We were forced to cooperate before, Che Ming, this stupid boy is real, you can deceive him, you can't deviate from me, you still know something, but you didn't say it at the time, although we also knew later, but it is undeniable that you deceived us at the time, and now that we are all here, I will ask you a word, what is the purpose of your entry into the tomb? I don't think you're a tomb robber. ”

Tengu suddenly realized and patted his thigh and said: "Old Dao, you really have a bit of Taoism, I admit, I didn't say anything at the time, and even wanted to pit you all to death in it, but what I didn't expect was that your ability is so great, we have to rely on you to get out, this is no longer an ordinary tomb robbery, with our ability, we can't do this fight, since you want to talk about it, then let's talk about it, save not wanting to distrust, let me tell you so, I am a family heirloom, my father died in the tomb, I don't know exactly where I died, my mother didn't tell me when she died, let me say so, why am I nicknamed Tengu, it's because my nose is the same as a dog, and my sense of smell is extremely sensitive, in fact, I don't have such a big enmity with you, at most I robbed Che Ming's ex-girlfriend, but Chen Xi I really like it, since I have already snatched it, it is impossible to return it, Che Ming, if you hate me, draw a line, we can do anything, I promise to continue, I also express an attitude today, this time we can sincerely cooperate, Even next time I want to work together, so it's good for both parties. ”

Che Ming also opened his mouth to say after seeing Tiangu finish speaking: "Chen Xi's matter has long passed, I don't hate you, there is one thing I don't understand, why are you looking for the tomb of the Yellow Emperor?" There are many tombs of those princes and generals, and they are also valuable things, can you give a reason? ”

Tengu looked at Che Ming coldly and said, "Reason? Hmph, okay, let me tell you, I really didn't go to the ground for the things inside, I already have a lot of money, I can't spend it in this life, what I do now is to look for the body of the suppressed Chiyou in the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, and it is rumored that Chiyou is immortal and indestructible, so the Yellow Emperor had to suppress Chiyou himself, so someone spent a lot of money to find me to do this, originally I didn't believe it, but they gave a stone tablet engraved with oracle bone inscriptions, which translates to a very simple meaning, that is, the corpse is one, and Chiyou is reborn, so my interest came, In fact, I don't believe that Chiyou can still come back to life, but I believe that Chiyou must have had, and Chiyou is not a pure-bred human, so someone commissioned me to find Chiyou's body for research, and the stone tablet is just to prove Chiyou's existence, is this reason enough? “

Lao Dao nodded and said: "Enough, since you are not a tomb robber, then we can indeed cooperate in the future, we are not tomb robbers, Che Ming is to find his parents, even if he has died in the tomb, you are for Chi You's body, our cooperation does not conflict, you just need to ensure that the things in the tomb in the future, except for Chi You's body, you don't take anything, we can share a house, and we can continue to cooperate." “

Tengu smiled and said, "No problem, you can." “

Lao Dao looked at the monkey at this time and said, "Monkey, tell me what you have discovered." “

The monkey straightened up and began to say: "Uncle Huang has a problem, after you left, he took the black bull directly to Uncle Zhang's house, and he didn't come out, and then I waited outside, until the second half of the night, the two of them came out one after another, and then went to Fengdi Tai, you can see that Fengdi Tai is problematic, I originally wanted to go down to see, but it seems that they found me, there is a secret door under Fengdi Tai, I vaguely saw a few people inside, and a figure was tied to the side, I didn't see clearly, Then I came to the county seat overnight to look for you. “

Che Ming looked at the monkey and said, "Uncle Huang really has a problem, I found that these old guys are really good at acting, I almost believe it." ”

Jin Shan looked at Che Ming with a helpless expression and said, "Your parents left you a letter saying that there is information about the bear, you forgot it, you are stupid." ”

Che Ming lowered his head embarrassedly and didn't speak, Tengu coughed and said: "That, I have a bold distraction, you listen to it, I suspect that Uncle Huang is Uncle Zhang, the smell of the two people is too similar, even if Uncle Huang is not Uncle Zhang, but Uncle Huang must have close contact with Uncle Zhang, so he will be infected with the smell of Uncle Zhang, and my nose will not lie to me." ”

Lao Dao nodded and said: "Your analysis is right, and even what Che Ming said is right, but you don't make the order of things clear, so it seems a mess, so I let any of you say it, you will say your thoughts again, and then we will understand." After speaking, Lao Dao pointed to Che Ming.

Che Ming was stunned for a moment and said without thinking: "Uncle Huang said that Uncle Zhang is dead, I think it's true." ”

Lao Dao pointed to the tengu again, and the tengu said without hesitation: "I think Uncle Huang is dressed up by Uncle Zhang, or the two of them are in the same stream." ”

Lao Dao continued to point to the monkey, and the monkey said: "Uncle Huang's father and son have a problem, they must know what is going on inside, and the real tomb is where the Fengdi Tai is not far from ten."

Lao Dao continued: "Jin Shan, you can also talk about it. ”

Jin Shan did not hide her thoughts and said: "I think Uncle Zhang was killed by Uncle Huang, and the monkey also said that he saw a person tied up behind the secret door." ”

Lao Dao nodded and continued: "Do you have any ideas for Restoration and Jiang Cheng? ”

Li Weixin laughed and said: "I'm a rough person, I can do my work, don't look for me for reasoning." ”

Jiang Cheng also continued: "I'm not good either, it's better for you to study, I'll go out with the boss to smoke a cigarette, let's go boss." After saying that, he pulled the boss out.

Lao Dao sighed and said: "Alas, it's basically almost, it's really a brainstorm, let me summarize it." Uncle Zhang now has only two possibilities, one is dead, and the other is controlled by Uncle Huang, which is right, Uncle Zhang's situation must not be very good, there are two bases for analyzing this, the first is that the smell that Tengu said, I believe, the second is that the monkey said that someone was tied up behind the secret door, I also believe it, so it can be seen that something did happen after Uncle Zhang came out, as for whether he died or not, I don't know, and then why did Uncle Huang go to Fengditai, why did he have to go to Uncle Zhang's house, and stayed for so long, here is a problem, Let's figure it out, the next thing is the problem of Fengditai, it seems that it's time to go to Fengditai to have a good look, Fengditai is so big, I didn't find it at the time, but at least we are sure of one thing, Uncle Huang has a problem, Uncle Zhang has an accident, Fengditai is greasy, so rest well this afternoon, let's go to Fengditai overnight in the evening, there will definitely be a discovery. ”
