"Lin Huaming told me when he left." The old man lit a cigarette and sat on the couch with a long speech.

"What did you say?"

"Wang Lei is a knot for you, right? Do you have an impression of who he is? Have you solved this holiday? But I want to tell you that my godson arranged him and Xu Ming by your side completely because of the situation in the bureau at that time, because there was a case at that time, and all the people in the bureau were basically withdrawn, leaving only Wang Lei and Xu Ming, but Xu Ming, you don't worry about me not saying anything in front of him for a while, in other words, you seem to have discovered something recently. ”

"Yes?" I laughed.

"It's all written on your face, hey, you still don't want to say it! Xu Ming is also gone, so you can listen to the results of my trip to Xi'an this time. The first is the bronze mask, according to my description my friend guessed that your mask was a product of the pre-Qin period, which seemed to be a status symbol, and at the same time my friend also put forward a conjecture. ”

"What conjecture?" I asked.

"Could there be something inside your mask?"

"The inside of the mask?" When the old man said this, I suddenly remembered, temperature? Feel? Or something, I calmed down and slowly moved the mask with my hands, and then I realized that as he said, there was really a protective film on the inside of my mask, which made my face not completely attached to the mask.

I nodded, told him some of the details of my mask, and the old man spat out his cigarette and looked at me word by word, "Do you feel that your physical strength is sometimes beyond ordinary people's imagination?" Do you feel like your body isn't under your control at the extremes? ”

Such? I suddenly thought of the python on the opposite side of the erection center, the time I faced the wild man, and the words that the doctor had said to me when I was discharged from the hospital, a bad feeling spread all over my body, I nodded a little sluggishly, and then I heard the old man's sigh, "This is a kind of head down!" ”

"What is this mask that lowers the head?" I immediately shuddered in my heart, what is this? What exactly is that membrane inside the mask?

Perhaps seeing my emotions, the old man immediately comforted, "This is just speculation, we can't determine anything at all, because no matter what the purpose of lowering the head is, you must first get the birth date of the person you want to descend to before you can descend." Why? Because this kind of head-lowering technique usually causes some degree of damage to the person who is surrendered, and even gives away a surname. Besides, you don't have to be too nervous about this thing, this kind of thing is different from witchcraft and Gu magic, there are many types of him, and they are not all fatal and disadvantageous, for example, love surrender is to let the other party's feelings for you die unswervingly. In the earliest days, this technique was even used as a way to strengthen the body, and its origin is unknown, just like the "Benjiao" in Tibetan Province. ”

Hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief and lowered my head to need the birth date, I don't believe that this thing in the pre-Qin era can be on my birthdate, and until now the effect I have obtained is only a short-term explosion, the kind of power that does not belong to me.

"It's just conjecture, it's just conjecture, don't you care. Secondly, there is another problem, that is, the inscription on the stone tablet we found in Luoping Xiaoshan Gorge drove the keel ship, and the sky fell into the Yellow Spring Sea. The evil dragon locks the coffin, and the spirit seals the ghost well. When we inquired about this thing, did Lu Qingdong only tell us the meaning of the words on it, but didn't tell us what font it was? ”

"That's right! Isn't this just a prank for tourism? I wondered.

"No, it's not like that, your idea is too simple, I found a photo of that stele, and my friend also saw the content on it as literally, but the font is really clever."

"Coincidentally? Could it be that it is also a font of the pre-Qin era? "I was shocked.

"yes, I don't believe it's a coincidence, because there are a lot of masked guys down there, too."

"But the ancient tomb is not from the pre-Qin!"

"I've also asked about this, this kind of tomb is a kind of collection, that is, using the original tomb as a foundation to add a layer on it, just like if you buy a house and buy a finished house, you have to decorate it yourself. But none of us can answer the question of why the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty occupied the tombs of the pre-Qin Dynasty, because there were no field investigations. ”

"The other one is very easy to say, although it's none of your business, but you still have to know, it is the negative ghost mother lock soul coffin in the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty, and the negative two is the second negative. The legendary god with a human face and a snake body. On the volume of Tang Li's "Duyi Zhi": "Liu Xiang said: 'This is the Yellow Emperor's minister who was responsible for the second of the country, and the crime was rebellious, and the Yellow Emperor couldn't bear to be punished, and the flow belonged to the mountain. Tang Pi said that Xiu's poem "There is an ancient cedar in front of the Tiger Hill Temple": "The windbreak bone has not been poured, and the corpse is stiff at the beginning." See "Negative Two". But the earliest record of this thing is in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, so I don't need to explain much about the Classic of Mountains and Seas! ”

I nodded and handed him a cup of milk tea.

"Speaking of this, we have to mention one thing, that is, the ghost country, that is, the prototype of the picture scroll on the coffin, the legend of the ghost country is that no one has found it underground, and the description of this country is also very strange, 'ghost country: The ghost country is in the north of the corpse of the two gods, this people only have one eye, and they all have the body of a snake, and the appearance is extremely terrifying, ordinary humans see and are devoured by it.' In the eyes of some scholars, the two negative have been regarded as a kind of coordinate, as long as the body of the second negative is found, it must be found in the ghost country, and at the same time, you have also heard that the people in the ghost country also have the body of a snake, so can we regard him as a descendant of the second negative? ”

"In other words, the snake demon coffin we saw in the tomb came out of the ghost country?"

"Yes! It was definitely a discovery that drove those people crazy, but we all ignored it. ”

"But don't you think it's strange to say this? You keep talking about the corpse of the second god, so where is this corpse? ”

The old man smiled bitterly, "You are not the only one who has discovered this problem, as long as the scholars who have studied the Classic of Mountains and Seas have discovered it, we use the corpse of the two negative gods as the coordinates to locate it, but this coordinate is now ethereal, what else to talk about finding the ghost country." But that picture of the ghost country. ”

The old man cleared his throat and gracefully picked up the cup, blew it, and took a sip of milk tea, but he spit it all out at once, and he blushed and scolded, "What is this?" ”

"Your Yoremi!"

"Die, I want to drink tea, I'm not used to drinking Yolemi."

All right! I had no choice but to make tea for the old man again, saying that this tea was specially sent back to the old man by the fat man. The old man took a sip of tea and continued: "That picture scroll was taken away, in my opinion, there are ten ** people who dived into the water and finally lost their amnesia, they are a group, and why are there ghost things in that Tang tomb?" ”

I shook my head.

The old man shook his head

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"I'm done."

"That's all, isn't it? But anyway, we still understand something, ghost country, ghost country, where exactly is this place? Why would those people go to that place? ”

Time passes, half a year has passed, in this half a year I have almost no contact with the fat man, except for borrowing money from him when the fat man personally came, this trip he must come, but the result of my mask is still no news, and when I see the fat man again, the fat man is also dull, I asked him what is wrong, he did not speak just commanded everything on the scene. Oh! It is necessary to say that the purpose of my call to the fat man that time I told the fat man my thoughts about the bottom of the water, saying that there must be a place under the water, and the fat man rushed over as soon as he heard it, and he called 1oo million in cash to hire someone to buy tools, and started his deep-water diving plan, but unfortunately this plan was unsuccessful, to be precise, it was a failure, because no one knew where the pool led? We also paid a considerable price for this, it was 3 lives, it was raining that day, I held an umbrella and watched the diving ropes of the two people in front of me break in the water for some reason, and watched the last person dive down with a lot of brightly colored foam.

It was a small pale rose-colored plastic particle. It is a kind of plastic particles that are slightly lighter than water, can float on water without sinking to the bottom, and will not be dissolved by water. In a panic, we threw 130 kilograms of this special mission into the swirling puddle at a time. In a moment's effort, these small plastic particles are like a whole, and they are all swallowed up by the pool of water. At that time, we thought that as long as one grain popped up somewhere else, we could find the exit of the "bottomless pit". However, we searched the waters for more than a month, but we still found nothing.

Is there really a "bottomless pit" on Earth? It is said that the earth is round, composed of three layers: the crust, the mantle and the core, and the true bottomless pit "should not exist, and the various caves, fissures, fissures, and even volcanic craters that we see are only a form of the shallow part of the earth's crust." But where did those people go? Where did those bubbles go?

The clues are stuck like this, we haven't done anything in the past six months, there are no clues at all, those people from Pangu have never appeared again, the peaceful life even integrates me into it, I live a carefree life every day and often think to myself, do I still need to go on an adventure? It's just a life, now I'm the beginning of another life, why do I care so much?

But this is the opposite of what happened, and one weekend half a year later, I received a courier from across the ocean.
