The old man called these lost national treasures "old friends", indicating that he had crossed paths with these national treasures before. That is, he knew this place before! If that's the case, then it's really like the old ghost said: we're just pawns in his treasure hunt.

Seeing the situation, the old ghost wanted to go out again to question, but the old man made an unusual move: I saw him hurriedly find something again. He opened the chests of gold and silver jewels and examined them one by one, almost knocking them over. When I saw these so-called gold and silver jewelry, I was very disappointed. It seems that he is not interested in these jewels, and the object is not them.

He picked up some treasures, looked at them, and threw them back. Then he continued to rummage between the boxes, as if looking for something more. Whether it is jade agate or pearl porcelain, the old man doesn't seem to care.

The old ghost and I asked at the same time: "Are these jewels fakes?" Not really! If it's a fake, how can you use a collection so hidden, and it's hidden on the top of this inaccessible snowy region? What was the old man looking for? ”

I analyzed it with the old ghost, and the only possibility is that these things don't matter to the old man. And what he was looking for must be something special. Moreover, the size of this thing is not large. Otherwise, you don't have to rummage through the cabinets.

The old ghost could no longer hold back his anger, and despite my tugging, he stood up from behind the old man's back. He learned from the old man's tone and said, "Old friend, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I finally see you again!" ”

The old man obviously had no psychological preparation for our appearance, and suddenly heard the sound of talking, obviously startled!

When he saw that it was us, he was a little embarrassed and said, "You...... How did you guys get here? ”

"yes. You certainly don't want us coming! The old ghost said, "We've ruined your good deeds, haven't we?" We're just pawns in your search for these national treasures, right? I still treat you as a very respectful elder. It seems that we have our own eyes, and we can't even distinguish between good guys and bad guys! ”

Listening to the old ghost's words, I tried to stop him. But the old ghost didn't care about my obstruction, and finished what he wanted to say in one breath.

When the old man heard the old ghost say this, he said, "Don't say that. I'm doing this for a hard time! ”

"Yo, so, you were forced?" The old ghost said, "Did someone else force you to do it, or did you have some unsavory handle in the hands of someone else?" I don't believe that with your skills, who can help you? ”

The old man said, "Neither! My suffering comes from my body! ”

After speaking, the old man's expression was extremely lonely. But, after saying that. And he never spoke again.

We looked at him as if he was lying, and we wanted to continue to hear what was going on. But the old man stopped talking.

This made the old ghost who was waiting for his answer anxious, and he hurriedly asked the old man: "What are your troubles, you say!" Sue us the truth, and we listen! If you really have something to do, we don't blame you! But if you don't say you're ugly. Then don't blame me for disrespecting my elders! ”

The old ghost said in a stiff tone, as if it was half threatening.

The old man said, "I'm here." I've always liked to learn some strange arts. However, you must know that art is not good. What's even more serious is that many of the strange techniques I have studied are in conflict with each other in the body. ”

"Hey, I've long heard that 'art is not pressing', how did you become 'art is not good'?" The old man said half-sarcastically, half-jokingly.

When I saw that the old man's words were suddenly interrupted by the old ghost, I hurriedly said to him, "Don't speak. Let the seniors finish. ”

When the old ghost heard me say this, he had no choice but to shut up and listen to what the old man had to explain about it.

The old man continued, "You must know that since the combination of various kinds of kung fu will cause conflict, then it will cause a certain amount of damage to the body. "The old ghost said." Although most of my exercises are miraculous, my body is an ordinary body. In any case, it cannot withstand the flood of such contradictions. So, my appearance and body will have some bad symptoms on a regular basis. ”

"What are the bad symptoms? For example? The old ghost asked.

"For example, my appearance is young for a while, and old for a while; One moment as energetic as a teenager, and the other as old as an old man. One moment the body is as light as a swallow, and the next moment it will be as heavy as Mount Tai...... In short, my body is no longer controlled by myself. Also, my memory has a certain amount of deterioration. It's not the simple memory loss, it's the kind of intermittent amnesia. However, there will always be a sudden moment at some point, and everything will be remembered clearly. ”

The old man's words reminded me of the old man we saw on the way from Egypt to Nepal. As he said, it is not at all under his own control. I remember when a few of us laughed at him, he just passed it by lightly. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a hidden secret!

The old ghost asked, "What does that have to do with you coming here?" You shouldn't say you're going to be here for the rest of your life, are you? ”

"Of course not!" The old man shook his head and said, "I originally planned to come here, but I really don't have any confidence that I will come alone!" ”

"Oh, so you pulled us on our backs?" The old ghost asked.

"You can't say that!" The old man said, "I'm not just for myself. ”

"Yo, you're not doing it for yourself, are you still doing it for us?" The old ghost asked.

The old man pondered for a moment and said, "I really am not only for myself, but also for you, for the sake of a lot of money!" ”

"For us?" When the old ghost heard him say this, he became more and more curious. "For us?" For us to send us to death, you will be a backdrop? ”

"No, I just think that all of you are inextricably linked to these things!" The old man said, "But I can't remember it clearly." But recently, just recently, I suddenly found that my memory is very good! And, I vaguely remember that I thought I had been here before! ”

Hearing the old man say this, I glanced at the old ghost. It seems, as we have judged, that the old man had been to this place before. But I just don't know if he really doesn't remember this place or if it's fake, he doesn't remember here. Judging by his expression and tone, it doesn't look like he's lying to us.

I asked the old man tentatively, "Then why didn't you sue us before?" ”

The old man said, "I swear, I really didn't know I had been here. I only found out after I came here. I'm not very sure in my mind, just some vague memories. However, it feels very uncertain! ”

"And what are you looking for?" I asked.

The old man replied simply, "The elixir of life!" (To be continued......)
