The information of the female assistant is too important to us, otherwise who would have thought that the pool of blood would have such an unbelievable origin, we always thought that it was the blood of a giant eagle or a big bird.

Tong guò giant bird, it can be inferred that under that crater, there is a large space, and that space is so mysterious that it is unimaginable - not only are there all kinds of strange birds, but also the Ming Dynasty vassal king Zhu Leting and a few people may also live there, why does the law of human birth, old age, sickness and death have no effect on them? Is there a mysterious power in the space below the crater? Or have they mastered the art of immortality? Also, Is there a connection between the tall blind and them?

But we already know that the blind man seems to be particularly concerned about this meteorite cave, it seems that there must be some very important relationship between him and this crater, if you want to get rid of the blind man, it is necessary to have a deep understanding of this crater, in addition, those amphibians, and other strange phenomena are also caused by meteorites here, if we can study this crater thoroughly, maybe we can restore the meridians of this mountain to normal, and at that time, all kinds of monsters in the mountain should be naturally extinct. And it won't hurt people anymore.

All in all, this crater is the root of all the strange phenomena in the mountain, and if you clear this root, the weirdness will disappear as soon as you get rid of it.

But how do you get inside that crater?

Since the giant bird can come out of the hole under the crater, it means that there must be a big entrance near the crater, as long as we find that entrance, we can enter the hole, this plan sounds good at first glance, but after careful consideration, I found that the truth may not be so simple - my cousin said that if there was really such a big hole nearby, Mr. Chen and they should have known it a long time ago, so the hole where the giant bird came out should be able to open and close, and it should never be seen at ordinary times. But how do you open that hole? We don't know anything about it yet.

After listening to his cousin's words, Mr. and Mrs. Chen also nodded again and again, and they said that they had never seen a hole leading to a crater in the nearby area.

At this time, although it was still so gloomy and dark outside, the rain had stopped, and the mountains after the autumn rain seemed to be both damp and chilly.

After listening to his cousin's words, the madman six did not give up, insisted on going to find the entrance of the cave, if he let him go alone, we were a little uneasy, so, by Xiao Lei and I accompanied him, once again came to the side of the crater, to find the hole, from the time difference between the giant bird flying out, the hole should be nearby, we searched in a carpet way, but after looking for it several times nearby, but found nothing, continued to increase the search range, still did not see any cave, in the end, we had to return in vain.

It seems that it is not so easy to enter the crater.

Although the progress of the matter has been in a difficult situation for the time being, on the whole, it is still a good harvest, and the appearance of these strange birds in Tongguò has given us a deeper understanding of the crater.

In order to alleviate this atmosphere, everyone temporarily changed some light topics, such as talking about Mr. Chen's research project, talking about the daily life of the old couple, etc., but the crater, and all kinds of mysteries, still linger in our hearts, after chatting for a while, everyone has nothing to say, and their minds unconsciously turn to the crater.

"Alas, old man, I suddenly remembered something, we always say that within a radius of dozens of miles, except for us, there is no other home, in fact, this is not the case, didn't you think of it? Just three or four miles away from us, there is an old man guarding the tomb, I think, that old man has lived in this area for decades, does he know more about the situation in this area than we do? ”

After listening to his wife's words, Mr. Chen patted his thigh and said excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" ”

We are all like the old man who guards the tomb in the clouds? After coming here, I really have never heard this old couple mention it. Mr. Chen looked confused when he saw us, so he explained with a smile: "As my wife said, there is an old man guarding the tomb nearby, who is also in his early eighties this year, it seems that his surname is Yuan, and he is also guarding the tomb here with his wife.

This old Yuan Tou, it seems that he has no children and no daughters, and only one nephew, who runs a medicinal herb shop in the town below the mountain, but this nephew is very filial, and every once in a while, he will definitely come to see Lao Yuan Tou and bring some daily necessities.

Old Yuan Tou seems to be very deaf, and he doesn't like to talk very much, his nephew is quite enthusiastic, once, he also came to our house, saying that his uncle is old, please we can pay attention to his uncle's condition if we can, I was still very strange, asked him why he didn't take his uncle away, the nephew said vaguely, this is their family rule, there must be someone in the family, come here to guard the tomb, besides, his uncle absolutely does not agree to leave here.

I was still very strange at the time, thinking that this is the age, and there is still a family with such strange customs, but seeing that this nephew of Lao Yuan Tou is so filial, I am quite moved, alas, I am not afraid of your jokes, my own son, I can't come a few times a year.

We and the old Yuan head, anyway, not far away, when walking, you can go over to see him, and, our unit regularly sent daily necessities, I will give the old Yuan head some, anyway, he is an old man, the food is very limited, in this way, the old Yuan Tou's nephew will save a lot of worry, when it comes to the New Year's holiday, he will always give us some gifts, to express gratitude.

It's just that the tradition of their family guarding the tomb makes me feel quite strange, but I can be vaguely moved, whether it is Lao Yuan Tou or his nephew, they don't seem to be willing to talk about this topic, so I didn't ask in detail.

However, although the old Yuan Tou is more than eighty years old, but the body is okay, cooking and laundry, can come by himself, is very taciturn, usually rarely active, at most just walk around his wooden house, or sit there in a daze, since I came, he has not been to me once, my wife and I invited him a few times, he said that he is old, do not want to move, and do not want to cause us more trouble, although he rarely speaks, but is a reasonable person, we send him things, or look at him, He will be especially grateful to us, he also has a very powerful seal carving skills, carved a lot of exquisite stamps for me, several of my friends have seen, all like it, begging me to give it to them, therefore, the old man Yuan's seal carving, has become the best gift I give to friends.

Especially a friend of mine in the art academy, wanted to buy the old man Yuan's seal carving at a high price, but the old man Yuan politely refused, he said that he had been weak in fame and fortune all his life, and was about to enter the earth, what was the use of asking for that money, he gave me those seal carvings, just a way to express his gratitude, which made my heart warm, I feel that this old man Yuan, don't look at the usual silent, but is a good person with affection and righteousness.

By the way, I'll show you his seal carvings, old woman, you can get a few from the bookshelf. ”

Listening to Mr. Chen's instructions, my wife hurriedly took a box from the bookshelf and handed it to us, which contained a seal carving.

The materials used in these seal carvings are a kind of green momentum, and they have been carefully polished, as for the seal characters engraved on them, we have no ability to appreciate them, and we can only rely on my cousin to judge.

My cousin picked one up, and said excitedly while looking at it: "Oh, great, quaint and simple, fresh and refined, the lines are like a swimming dragon, the blade is like a crouching tiger, handsome and elegant without any frivolous habits, simple and elegant and not dull and stupid, it is really a first-class master of seal carving!" ”

When my cousin said these words, we didn't seem to understand much, but we only knew that he was boasting about the seal carving anyway, and the madman six also picked up a few pieces and looked at them one by one, although he was far less professional than his cousin in this regard, but he couldn't help but say: "Yes, it's really good." ”

After my cousin looked at a few pieces, he suddenly thought of something, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say it, as if he was embarrassed to say it, and finally, apparently after plucking up his courage, he said to Mr. Chen: "I like that old man Yuan's seal carving so much, can you cut your love and give one to me?" ”

When Mr. Chen heard this, he said very happily: "Oh, of course you can, you see how many pieces I have here?" ”

Seeing that Mr. Chen agreed, his cousin seemed very happy, and even thanked him, it seems that this kind of seal carving is a treasure in his cousin's mind.

After getting one, my cousin still loved to play with the others, and suddenly, for some reason, when observing these seals one by one, my cousin's expression gradually changed, from the original amazement and surprise to surprise, as if he had discovered some secret on those seals.

We wanted to ask him what he had discovered, but seeing that his brows were tightly knit and his eyes were fixed on the seals in a daze, as if he was in deep thought, everyone sat next to him without saying a word for fear of interrupting his train of thought.

After a while, my cousin suddenly asked a very inexplicable question: "Is Old Yuan's surname really Yuan?" ”

Mr. Chen was stunned by his cousin's question, and he didn't know why his cousin asked this, so he replied puzzledly: "Yes, before I came, I listened to the relevant personnel of our unit, and when I introduced the situation here, I mentioned that there was an old man living nearby, and soon after I came, I went to Old Man Yuan's house, and asked him what his surname was, and he said that his surname was 'Yuan'." ”

At this time, Mr. Chen's wife suddenly interjected and said: "By the way, Lao Yuantou's nephew, when he came a while ago, he gave me a business card, saying that if something happened to Lao Yuantou, you can find him through the contact information on the business card, but when he handed me the business card, I was cutting meat, and my hands were greasy, so I asked him to put the business card directly on the bookcase, do you see if there is anything on the bookcase?" His nephew must have the same surname as his uncle, as for whether the old man's surname is Yuan, just look at his nephew's business card. ”

Xiao Lei hurriedly pressed the position of Mr. Chen's wife to find the business card, sure enough, the business card was still there, Xiao Lei took the business card down, and we all hurriedly looked around, only to see that on the business card, there were three words "Xuanxun" written - it turned out that the nephew of the old Yuan Tou was called "Xuanxun"!

Needless to say, that old Yuan Tou is not surnamed "Yuan", but surnamed "Xuan", these two sounds are very similar, it must be that Mr. Chen heard it wrong, and it was a mistake for so many years.

However, everyone thought about it and felt very strange, Lao Yuantou's surname was mistaken, and his cousin seemed to know this, so he asked this question, but how did his cousin know?

At this time, everyone looked at their cousin and waited for him to explain what was going on. However, my cousin suddenly talked about those seal carvings: "Have you paid attention, each seal carving has a seal 'bird' symbol." ”

Listening to my cousin say this, we hurriedly took a closer look at those carved stone seals, and sure enough, we found that on the side of each stone seal, there is a sign of the seal text 'bird', could it be that from the sign of this seal text 'bird', my cousin deduced that the old man Yuan is not actually surnamed "Yuan", but surnamed "Xuan"?

At this time, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, making my mouth open in shock, and I couldn't say a word, because I suddenly thought of that Xuan Heng! And the Xuanheng family has a special relationship with birds - their family has raised birds for generations and made a fortune from birds, is that old Yuan Tou the descendant of Xuanheng?
