Chapter 21: Father's Entrustment and Counsel

——————————————————————————————————————————

I held the photo and couldn't help but shudder, and immediately, I had a strong feeling, as if there was a dark cloud overhead that enveloped me deeply, making me feel dull and depressed, and even breathless.

What does this photo mean? I don't know when I met my brother Fan Perin, and I don't know where this picture was taken, but one thing is certain, and that is that this Ryazan, he had some kind of close connection with our family five or six years ago.

As for why there is such a connection, I don't know, but I have a vague judgment, that is, this connection was arranged by my father, and I remembered the vague semantic demeanor when Duan Yuwen mentioned Ryazan's life experience, and firmly believed that Ryazan would definitely do his best to help me complete the task. This also shows that whether it is my father or Duan Yuwen, they all believe in Ryazan as a person, and it is very likely that he helped my brother to complete the task at the beginning, but due to a problem in the middle, my brother was killed, so Ryazan was ordered to assist me.

But the question is, why do you want to help me? Obviously, Ryazan is definitely a ruthless character, even if he is usually a fool, but that can't hide his extraordinary skills. My father was cautious by nature, and few people could gain the complete trust of my father, and the fact that my father was able to entrust me to Ryazan is enough to show that Ryazan was very trustworthy in my father's heart.

However, in that case, why didn't my father just let Ryazan complete those tasks? My father knew all too well how capable I was.

The only possibility is that this task has to be done by me.

I-am that heavy or? I suddenly thought of the situation in the Yunnan underground palace, around the bronze drum, carved pictures of prophecy, in the last carving, there are three people, Long Bujin, Teng Yi and Ryazan, but there is no me.

I shook my head and decided not to think about these things anymore, and said that there was a notebook in front of me that I hadn't read, and maybe the secret I wanted to know was in this notebook.

But when I turned the first page of the notebook, I couldn't stop laughing. I found that the reason why the notebook is so thin is not because of the problem of the notebook, but because most of the pages in this notebook have been torn off, and when I open the notebook, I can clearly see that there is a thick stack of leftover parts in the middle of the notebook.

What does that mean? Obviously, if it was Qin Ye's group that tore off the number of pages in the notebook, it didn't make sense at all, if they found this notebook, then they had every reason to take the notebook away, there was no need to tear off the contents, and then put the rest of the notebook back in its original place, which was not logical at all.

So, obviously, the middle part of this notebook was torn off by my father himself. However, since it was torn off, why should I put the rest of the notebook back in its place? Could it be that I could find the photos sandwiched in my notebook?

I anxiously opened the notebook, turned two pages, and found that on the last page of the notebook, there was a long, long message, which, judging from the handwriting, was written by my father's hand, which read:

Pei Xi:

If you can read this passage, it means that you have finished what happened in Yunnan and come back alive. No matter how you survived, I'm happy for you.

As your father, I felt very bad when I wrote this message. As I intended, I didn't want you to be involved in this event. But, now, that Perrin is dead, and I, old and frail and riddled with all things, can no longer carry out my further research, so I entrust the task of research to you as a last resort.

I know that this is very unfair to you, I have watched you grow up, and I know that you have never been interested in this kind of thing, but when you are really in the middle of things, I am afraid you can't resist that curiosity from the heart.

I was surprised by Perrin's death, I didn't mean to hide it from your mother and you, but the mission in Yunnan was too dangerous, and Perin went there, and the fewer people who knew the Tao, the better. But I have to say that I underestimated the abilities of those people, and this is the biggest failure I have left in my thirty years of research, and this failure has cost me a son.

You may ask, why would you risk doing those things? But I'm sorry to tell you, even now, I can't tell you why, I can only tell you that it's a deal, a deal between me and the gang, and Ajuna is just the facilitator and liaison for this deal.

But I have to admit that I failed in this deal that lasted for more than a decade, but this deal is going to continue.

I'm going to tell you, then, you're going to take over from me and your brother and continue to go through all sorts of bizarre things that have the sole purpose of tracking down a person, no, maybe shouldn't call him or her a human.

Peixi, you are also a person who has studied in college, and you must know the very famous historical concept in Marx's philosophy - the masses of people are the creators of history.

However, now, I would like to tell you that, judging from my many years of research experience, it is not the case at all, and the development of the entire history of the world, whether in the East or the West, has always been in the hands of a very small number of people. China, of course, is no different. Through my research and some field trips, I have found that in all the ancient civilizations of China, there is the same "person", who is the guy you want to track down and kill him/her. You read that right, although that person appeared in ancient times, he or she is still alive, but in a different form.

Moreover, I want to tell you that you are not the only one who wants to track this "person", there are many powerful forces that want to track this person. One of them wants to kill this "person", the other part wants to save this "person", and some want to use this "person", and the last part of the force is undoubtedly the most stupid.

I don't have much time to tell you in detail, but in less than an hour the gang will soon find me, and in the meantime I'll be in hiding, and of course, I'll be found by them, and I'll be dead.

If you can find this notebook, it means that someone must be clicking on you, to be honest, I hid this notebook here, and I was worried about whether you would find it, but I would rather you not read this notebook than be found by others.

Let me remind you that if you want to find that person, you must go to the ruins of those ancient civilizations to find it, because that "person" has been dormant for a long time and has not reappeared, and in this world, only some traces of him can be found in the ruins of those ancient civilizations.

Also, there is a picture in this notebook, I think you can recognize those two people, Palin is dead, I won't say more, and that Ryazan, you must believe him, because he will be the only person you can trust. In the days to come, you will encounter all kinds of trials, remember one sentence, don't be gullible, it will kill yourself.

I think Duan Yuwen has probably told you all about the experience in Yunnan thirty years ago, but there is one thing he may not have mentioned, so let me remind you, don't be afraid after you read it - the person you picked up in the ancient village in Yunnan - that is, the descendant of the life-saving benefactor I said before, she should be called Long Bujin That's right, she is the young woman who came out of the bronze coffin of the old village chief thirty years ago, yes, thirty years ago, she didn't get old. You have to be careful of her, she's not human.
