Chapter 23: The Temple of Hades (Part II) (Revised Version)

After Jiang Yuan examined Xiao He's body in the crystal coffin, he took out an oracle bone from it, and I cracked the words on the oracle bone, which means "rebirth".

The so-called rebirth means that the soul is immortal and immortal, and it is not separated.

I once saw an animal skeleton from the same period as this oracle bone in the mausoleum of the princes and kings of the Western Han Dynasty, and there were sixteen characters on it, but I could only decipher four of them, which were "separation", "life", "destruction" and "spirit".

The meaning of these four words is self-evident, but the information contained in the oracle bone itself makes me take a painstaking effort, because this oracle bone is not an object that should have been in the Han Dynasty, it comes from an earlier period, and I can roughly estimate the age and time of formation of this oracle bone based on the density of the bone and the environment in which it was grown.

Between 290 and 260 B.C., the Yunnan region underwent historic changes, and a mysterious tribe migrated to the region, whose lords tried to use their unique talents to establish an eternal kingdom on the land, but their dreams were shattered.

Looking through the historical materials, the Yunnan region at that time was the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and at the same time, it was also the place where the legendary Rama Wu people lived after the large-scale migration.

Whether "rebirth" hints at some secrets of the ancient Dian Kingdom, or whether there is another deep meaning in it, the answer is only known to Xiao He.

I stared at Xiao He in the crystal coffin and asked, "Boss Jiang, you said that this is the reason why you hope I can come here, could it be that this young man named Xiao He has a lot of connections with our Xiao family?" ”

Jiang Yuan looked at me thoughtfully, "I don't know about this, when I investigated his information, all the information showed you, in other words, this person has been using your information to be active in society, and it can also be said that he is alive." ”

"What?" I yelled, "With my profile? So how did I not know? ”

Jiang Yuan said: "I was also very strange at first, I even suspected that you were Xiao He, but later I sent someone to carefully observe all aspects of your life, and I found that you and Xiao He are two completely different people, and when Xiao He came to Yunnan to find me, you were always in Beijing. ”

I touched my chin, turned to the grasshopper and whispered, "What do you think?" ”

The gnats also touched their chin and nodded at me, and said, "I think this matter is a bit hanging, if I hadn't seen the corpse in the coffin with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed what he said, but now, the corpse is in front of our eyes, it seems that what he said is true." ”

As time passed, this underground "hive" seemed to be invaded by a strong external force, the rock layer cracked, the debris continued to fall off, and at the same time, white gas continued to gush out of the cracks, forming white smoke columns.

"Flash away, these vapors are highly toxic." Xu Moyan was the first to jump to my side after screaming, protecting me and the gnather with his body.

Everyone quickly gathered together, the rock formation near the crystal coffin was very cracked, and white smoke had enveloped the entire coffin, like a white ghost was devouring everything here.

Kang Yan gave each of us a white pill, which she said was an antidote that had been developed just last month, and it was a special medicine for all kinds of poisonous gases in the catacombs.

After taking it in his hand and looking at it for a while, he asked, "Doctor Kang, has anyone eaten this before us?" How it works. ”

Kang Yan stared at the crystal coffin with her eyes, and when she heard the gnats ask, she immediately replied, "We'll know how effective it will be later." ”

When the grasshopper heard this, it immediately exploded its fur and exclaimed, "What? You treat us like white rats. ”

I kicked him from behind and scolded in a low voice: "What time is it, you are still in the mood to joke, if Doctor Kang is not sure, how can he let us eat, you don't say a few words, otherwise the poisonous gas will enter your heart after a while, and Taishang Laojun's Soul Rejuvenation Pill will not be able to save you." ”

The grasshopper swallowed and did not speak again.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and there seemed to be a behemoth under the crystal coffin trying to break through the ground, Xu Moyan suddenly pulled me and ran in the opposite direction of the coffin, and shouted at the same time: "Hurry up, this place is going to collapse." ”

A dazzling white light struck, illuminating almost every corner of the temple, and with the help of this moment, I took in the structure of the entire temple.

Narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, a typical three-dimensional trapezoid. There are still some frescoes on the surrounding walls, most of which are intact and not much damaged, but the east frescoes only outline the outline, and it seems that this is also an unfinished building.

"Boss, watch out for you."

The gnats screamed at the same time as a gunshot rang out, a warm liquid trickled down my neck, and as I turned, a woman collapsed limply into my arms.

"Big Eyed Girl, You"

Xu Moyan was short of breath, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something to me, but in the end she didn't say it, and her slightly open eyes were fixed at the last moment of her life.

"Mo Yan." I yelled her name, but there was no response from her.

The cobra took advantage of the chaos to aim his gun at Jiang Yuan, and at this time, the gnats were also controlled by him.

I put down Xu Moyan's corpse, regardless of the threat of the cobra, I kept walking towards him, Liang Jun threw me a dagger in the air, the cobra marksmanship was extremely fast, a shot hit the handle of the dagger, the dagger turned in a circle in the air and fell straight at Jiang Yuan's feet.

I stopped, looked at the cobra, and had a lot to say, but I couldn't say a word stuck in my throat.

Kang Yan has been rescuing Xu Moyan, but in the end to no avail, she shook her head at me with tears in her eyes, and a few tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped on the back of her hand.

Jiang Yuan was afraid of the safety of the grasshopper, so he didn't dare to rashly use force with the cobra, so he had to be kidnapped by him and wait for the opportunity.

"Cobra, are you crazy?" I was shouting with almost all my strength.

Cobra looked at me very calmly, "I'm not crazy, it's you who are crazy, and I do this to persuade you to turn back and don't think about everything in the Golden Scale Star Palace." ”

Jiang Yuan stared at him angrily, "Do you need to persuade people to kill?" ”

The corners of the cobra's mouth hooked up a weird smile, and he said: "Only by killing the person who should be killed can the effect of exhortation be achieved, if she doesn't die, you will not give up the Golden Scale Star Palace, Boss Jiang, don't ask knowingly." ”

Jiang Yuan clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his arms were already visible, which showed the anger in his heart now, I thought that I would see Jiang Yuan subduing this cobra with his vigorous skills in the next second, but I didn't expect that he just looked at me silently, and then said to the cobra: "You and he are both members of the Xiao family, why do you do this." ”

Cobra sneered, "He is an outcast of the Xiao family, and this time he actually helped you come here, just by virtue of this, he also deserves to die, I killed him to clean the door for the Xiao family." ”

When I heard the words "Xiao family's abandoned son", the nameless fire instantly burned the whole heart, the dagger and gun in my hand shot in an instant, and when the gun rang out, I saw Jiang Yuan turn around gorgeously and kick the cobra's left cheek, his glasses were kicked off, and the gnats that he hijacked took the opportunity to roll and hide behind Jiang Yuan, while looking at me with a panicked face.

The scene was a little chaotic, Li Laosi and the others were already in battle, and Liang Jun had joined the battle in order to protect Jiang Yuan, and he stood beside Jiang Yuan like a guard.

The cobra looked at us and suddenly burst out laughing, and as he picked up his glasses with one hand, I also saw a strange and terrifying scene, it turned out that his eyes were empty, and everything we had seen before was an illusion created by that special pair of black-rimmed glasses.

"What's the matter with your eyes?" I asked.

The cobra recognized the position by sound, and when his head turned to me, a faint smile passed over his face, which was a feeling of seeing through life and death.

"Four years ago, in order to find the Golden Scale Silk Book before the Xiao family, the ghost hand Zhang Mosheng let his granddaughter deliberately approach the young master of the Xiao family, that is, you Xiao Fang, according to his plan, when you fall in love with Zhang Yuan, that is, when their plan is implemented."

I couldn't believe my ears, but I still kept listening, and over the years, I had developed a habit of forbearance.

He paused and continued: "In King Jing's tomb, the archaeological team that you rescued is actually a team composed of the Xiao family, and their purpose is to secretly protect you and also monitor Zhang Mosheng's people. ”

"Unfortunately, among this group of people, there is a female student who was bought by Zhang Mosheng, she deliberately activated the gravity mechanism when she was in the main tomb, originally wanted to use the mechanism to trap Zhang Mosheng's people in the tomb, but she didn't expect that this gravity mechanism was very weird, and her plan not only did not succeed, but even caused her own people to almost die."

"Maybe it's because Master Zu has a spirit in the sky, you chose to sacrifice Zhang Yuan at the last moment and saved your own people, but when Zhang Yuan was trapped in the right ear room, Jiang Yuan had already led people to the tomb of King Jing, and less than an hour after you left the tomb of King Jing, he had already cracked the gravity mechanism and successfully rescued Zhang Yuan."

When the cobra said this, his hand moved slightly, pointed at Jiang Yuan's temple, and asked, "Boss Jiang, did I say that?" ”

Jiang Yuan looked at me and didn't say a word.

After hearing this, Kang Yan pointed at the cobra and said: "You are only half right, Yuanyuan approached Xiao Fang and indeed Zhang Ye secretly instructed him, but love saved everything, Yuanyuan did not do anything to be sorry for Xiao Fang, she even secretly dissuaded Zhang Ye from giving up the competition for the Golden Scale Silk Book and finding another way." ”

The cobra sneered and said, "What about my eyes, if she is not weak-hearted, then why did she do this to me in the hospital." ”

Kang Yan confronted him-for-tat, saying: "That's because you have a bad heart, Yuanyuan secretly found out that you colluded with overseas companies to try to annex the Xiao family's overseas investment market, she knew that once this matter was successful, the Xiao family would face an unprecedented financial crisis, so she privately taught you a lesson without alarming anyone, leaving your life behind, just taking away a pair of your eyes as a warning." ”

I already had a big head, and every word they said was like a sharp knife stuck in my heart, and all kinds of pain were mixed together, and suddenly my eyes went black, and I didn't know what was going on.
