Professor Guan's words on the phone made Lao Wu confused, but he said that he was about to die, but Lao Wu was slightly surprised, and quickly asked Professor Guan, "Are you injured?" That's not right! You shouldn't be able to die just by squeezing it? Oops, is it a broken rib bone? With that, he reached out and probed.

As a result, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was grabbed by Professor Guan, and Lao Wu was shocked and subconsciously went back to hide, but he forgot that he was squatting on the edge of the stone platform, and his center of gravity was about to fall down. At this time, Professor Guan grabbed his arm with difficulty, and Lao Wu took advantage of this strength to come back again, it stands to reason that there is damp soft soil below, and it is okay to fall, but he was really startled.

Lao Wu sat on the stone platform, stared at Professor Guan for a long time, didn't speak, but groped out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, directly took out a cigarette with his mouth, and took out the fire fold that Xiao Qi had just given him and lit it, took a deep breath, felt the smoke fill his lungs, and then slowly exhaled out, relieving his impatience and fatigue, and the whole person was about to rise with the smoke.

Waiting for the cigarette to be halfway through, Lao Wu lowered his head and squinted his eyes and asked Professor Guan, "Who are you?" ”

Professor Guan lay on the stone platform and smiled awkwardly, looked at the cigarette in Lao Wu's mouth and said, "Is there still a cigarette?" Give me the roots! Lao Wu took out the cigarette and matched the one he smoked, and then handed it to Professor Guan.

Professor Guan swallowed his saliva and was about to reach out to take it, but was dodged by Lao Wu.

"Can you tell me what's going on after smoking this cigarette?"

Seeing Professor Guan nodding in a low voice, Lao Wu gave him the cigarette. Professor Guan held the cigarette with a trembling hand, slowly put it to his mouth, and coughed violently as soon as he took a puff, listening to the sound of exhalation in his lungs was a little strange, like a leaky bellows.

"I used to work abroad under a lot of pressure, and I smoked cigarettes one after another, but since I had lung cancer, I have never smoked." Professor Guan lowered his head and said slowly.

Lao Wu hadn't heard that word, so he asked him: "Lao Guan, what is this lung cancer?" Why do you say you're dying? ”

Professor Guan said with a wry smile: "Lung cancer is a malignant disease in the lungs, I was diagnosed in the middle and advanced stages when I was in the UK, and it cannot be completely cured, and it can only inhibit the non-spread of cancer cells, but I can't live for a few years at most, which is why I returned to China, because I want to return to my roots, and at least I can look around when I come back before I die, and I will only be desolate after death." ”

Although Lao Wu didn't understand much, he probably understood that Professor Guan didn't have much time to get a terminal illness, but if he said so, why was he sent by the central government to do archaeological work?

Lao Wu was just thinking about it in his heart, he didn't say it, but Professor Guan knew what he was thinking, he struggled to sit up, coughed a few times and said, "You must be wondering why I was sent here when I'm like this, right?" Lao Wu nodded undeniably.

Professor Guan lowered his face coldly and snuffed out the choking cigarette in his hand, with a glimmer of hope in his originally desperate eyes, he looked at Lao Wu and said, "Old Wu, do you remember what words I just said about the human-shaped hole engraved on the mural?" ”

Lao Wu frowned and said, "Eternal life? But as soon as he finished saying this word, Lao Wu looked at Professor Guan and opened his mouth in surprise, and said tremblingly: "That's why you came here for this eternal life?" ”

Professor Guan's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand and pointed around and said, "Old Wu, look around!" This miracle has been sealed underground for nearly a thousand years, and it is very likely that it is the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang! Hiding the secret of immortality in ancient times, maybe, maybe there will really be an elixir of life."

Qin Shi Huang Lao Wu knows, that there has always been a rumor in Shaanxi that the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty Yingzheng, before his death to seek the art of immortality used a lot of manpower and material resources, after the death of the mausoleum built in the underground palace, but also the entire empire territory is condensed in it, there are also what heavenly soldiers and generals guard, said particularly evil, it feels really immortal and immortal, but Lao Wu does not believe in these things, he does not even disdain to believe in that immortality, this year of life is a sin, to let him live forever like this is not as good as dying early.

Professor Guan was excited for a while and then lowered his head in loneliness, the temperature around him was still slowly rising, and the sultry heat was accompanied by a wave of humidity, which made people even more uncomfortable. Professor Guan trembled and took out a photo from his pocket, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, his eyes unconsciously revealing a trace of kindness.

Old Wu didn't know what he was looking at, thinking that it was related to this underground palace, so he tilted his head and leaned over to look, but he didn't expect that the photo was actually a child, three or four years old, with a round face and big eyes that didn't look like a Chinese.

Professor Guan trembled and put the photo in front of Lao Wu and said: "This, this is my grandson, my son took a local daughter-in-law in England, this child looks like his mother, I thought I would never see him again, but at that time you appeared, but I lied to you, I wanted to use you to make a sacrifice, so that I could know the secret of immortality, fortunately, fortunately, nothing happened." ”

"Sacrifice? What do you mean? Lao Wu asked him with a cold face.

Professor Guan's face was covered with sweat, and he didn't dare to look directly at Lao Wu, he looked down at the photo and said: "I was recuperating in Beijing because my old friend Lao Xu was going to be sent to Hengshan, Shaanxi Province to participate in an archaeological work, and he came to visit me before leaving, and also said something about the ancient tomb. But when I heard about the scope of the ancient tomb and the things unearthed in the burial pit, I remembered that I had learned in ancient books that the emperors before the Qin and Han dynasties were good at studying the art of immortality, in order to be the emperor of the ages, but unfortunately it was all an empty dream, and I didn't see anyone who could really live forever. But Qin Shi Huang is different, he may really know the secret of immortality, and he did not succeed until he died, but that secret is likely to be buried in his tomb with Qin Shi Huang, so I strongly ask to come with Lao Xu, I want to live"

Lao Wu listened to Professor Guan speak slowly, and when he heard that the cigarette in his hand had burned to the end, he threw it away casually, and asked Professor Guan, "Then the purpose of your coming is to find that immortality technique?" ”

"Yes, I may have rushed to the doctor because of illness, and I was going to die anyway, even if I didn't have the art of immortality, I would be content to see the ancient tomb with my own eyes." Professor Guan said with a wry smile.

Lao Wu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then squinted and grabbed Professor Guan's collar, lifted him up directly, and then asked fiercely: "Okay, I heard you say so much, you should tell me where they are now, right?!"

As a result, Professor Guan said with a dull face: "I don't know!" When we lay down the rope, we landed on the mound, but as soon as there were many people, the mound collapsed, and when I woke up, I was the only one left below, and the others were gone! ”
