Chapter 30 is full of doubts

"That jade plaque shouldn't be the one hanging around Long Bujin's neck, right?" I asked.

Unexpectedly, hearing me ask like this, that paragraph of Yuwen also frowned, and said suspiciously: "Long Bujin? Is that the girl you picked up from the Miao ancient village? ”

I nodded, and that paragraph Yuwen continued to ask, "Does she wear a white jade plate around her neck, what does it look like?" ”

So, I briefly described the shape and size of the jade plate worn by Bu Jin around his neck to Duan Yuwen, Duan Yuwen nodded while listening, and said to himself: "Can't be wrong, can't be wrong, it's that jade plate." ”

I was a little surprised to hear what he said, and asked, "Uncle Duan, don't you know about this?" ”

"I only know that Ah Shuna finally agreed to cooperate with me and your father, but I didn't know that Lu Dao would give the jade card to the Miao girl." Duan Yuwen said, "Moreover, since the accident with your brother, I don't have much hope that the jade plate will be returned to your father's hands. ”

"Then when did my brother get involved in this matter, and what does the so-called cooperation between you mean?" The more I listened, the more I realized that there were too many mysteries in the events of thirty years ago, and that I, as a successor, knew nothing about them.

Duan Yuwen explained: "Perin intervened in this investigation more than ten years ago, that is, from the day your brother confirmed his disappearance, he had already come to Yunnan as your father's successor to cooperate with me in continuing to investigate the Miao ancient village. ”

"My father arranged all this?" I felt more angry than surprised. I don't know what Lu Dao's father thinks, since he knows that the Miao ancient village here in Lu Dao is dangerous and abnormal, but why should he let his son come here to investigate?

Duan Yuwen probably guessed my thoughts, so he said, "Peixi, don't blame your father too much. After listening to my account just now, you probably know that after your father returned to Northeast China from Yunnan, his health was worse day by day, and he was not even able to carry out any investigation activities at all, and at the same time, those threatening letters also had a great impact. However, no matter what, the ancient village of Yunnan is a stone that your father will never let go of in his heart. ”

Speaking of this, Duan Yuwen leaned forward, reached out and patted me on the shoulder, revealing a wry smile, and continued: "Also, don't think that you are the only one who has been kept in the dark all along, in fact, including your father and me, are just two headless flies, flying around. Later, your father's purpose is actually very clear and clear, he wants the truth, he wants to know the truth about all the strange events that happened in the ancient village of Ludao, that's all. ”

"But because of his health and the threatening letters, he decided to send my brother to Yunnan, right?" I said, "But I don't understand why I have to say that my brother is missing, you don't know how sad my mother was after my brother's disappearance, I really can't imagine how my father came down." ”

At this time, Ryazan, who had been bored for most of the day, suddenly stood up and said, "That's to protect you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and turned my head to look at Duan Yuwen. Protect us? This "we" must be my father's family. So, why do we need to protect us? Is it because of those threatening letters?

Duan Yuwen continued: "Peixi, there are many things in this story that we can't explain now, but in the past thirty years, your father's research and I have not been completely fruitless. ”

I raised my head and motioned for Duan Yuwen to continue, and he said as follows:

In the past thirty years, your father has been mainly responsible for studying what Wang Chengbao did in the years before he went to Yunnan, because, obviously, Wang Chengbao's performance in the underground palace proves that he is undoubtedly a breakthrough in this series of strange events, especially the jade plate he is going to hand over to your father, where it came from and what it represents, these questions are undoubtedly of extraordinary significance to the whole thing.

As for me, I have been mainly responsible for researching the underground palace of the ancient Miao village in the past 30 years. Who made the hundreds of bronze coffins in the dungeon, and what was it used for? As you must have realized from the stories I have told, those bronze coffins were not, or rather, not just for the corpses. And what the giant worm inside the coffin, and the totemic runes on the bronze coffin and the huge stone pillars represented, these doubts have haunted me for thirty years.

Compared to your father, my research has made some progress, because after all, I stayed in Yunnan, and I returned to the Miao ancient village three times and twice, and on several occasions I was almost expelled by force by those Miao people.

In the first ten years, I could barely move an inch, I couldn't see Ashuna's face at all, and the other Miao people in the ancient village didn't speak Chinese, so I couldn't extract any secrets from them.

More than ten years later, your brother Perrin came to Yunnan on your father's orders, and with my help, he soon got to know this place to a certain extent. Perrin was gifted, very intelligent, and calm in the face of accidents, much like your father, and the two of us quickly became friends.

In fact, Perrin was the object of your father's intentional training, and he knew that it might be difficult for him to return to that ancient village in his lifetime, so he secretly planned to let Perrin take over his research.

From the beginning, Palin was also very curious about his previous experience in the ancient village, so he often went with me to the ancient village to ask for Azina, but he was not allowed. Therefore, all along, your brother and I can only keep guessing the secrets in the ancient village underground palace. Of course, during this period, we also tried to find the village discovered by the Qin brothers, but in vain.

Not only that, but we are even more surprised that since about thirteen years ago, another group of people have also begun to pay attention to that ancient Miao village.

The backstage of this group of people seems to be very large, and they are well-funded and well-equipped, and their guide is none other than Lao Han, the cook soldier of the company where the Qin brothers were located back then.

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe there is indeed a fate in the dark, once your brother and I were about to go to the ancient village again, but accidentally found that group of people.

There were seven or eight of them, and they were all in their thirties, and the oldest one was the cooking soldier Lao Han.

Your brother and I decided to spy on their moves. The purpose of that group of people after entering the ancient village was very clear, that is, they wanted to enter the cellar. But when they found out that the Miao people in the village did not speak Chinese, and firmly refused to allow them to enter the cellar, they tried to break in by force.

The two groups had a fierce conflict, and although the Miao people were brave, those outsiders were not fuel-efficient lamps. Just when the two sides were fighting hotly, Ajuna slowly walked over accompanied by six tattooed Miao people.

The two groups stood facing each other for a while, as if they were talking to each other, but I don't know what they were about because of the distance. But one thing is certain, that is, the conversation turned into a quarrel after the most abrupt conversation, and then the six tattooed Miao people solved a few of them by dividing them by two, and the rest such as Lao Han and others didn't seem to have any great ability, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and Ashuna didn't embarrass them, and waved her hand to let them leave.

Since then, your brother and I have not only been studying that ancient village, but also developed a strong interest in that group of people. Gradually, we found that there seemed to be more to this group than just seven or eight people, they had a much larger backstage, because it didn't take long for them to form a new team after that incident. And their purpose is also very clear, it is nothing more than to want to enter the dungeon, as if they already know what will be in the dungeon.

However, since that incident, your brother and I have finally made progress in our research. I don't know if it was our perseverance and sincerity that moved Ashina, or because of the frequent harassment of the ancient village by another group, in short, Ashuna summoned us.

Azuna is a smart person, she obviously knew from the beginning that we were not in the same boat as the other group, and it was clear that she seemed more willing to trust me and your brother.

But what really surprised us was that Ajuna asked us to help her find out the origins of those who frequently harassed the village.

Your brother and I wanted to put it off at first, but since Azuna had saved me and your father's names, it was hard to say no to any of Ashina's requests. So, we dared to make a request, or a deal.

We promised to help Azuna investigate the origins of the group, but only if she told us the secrets of the inner palace of the ancient village after that. But Azuna rejected this proposal without even thinking about it, and the research that had just dawned fell into a state of stagnation in an instant. We informed your father of this, and he was disappointed.

But we didn't give up, still every six months into the ancient village, because of the number of times we went, and the villagers also saw that we were not malicious, and even sometimes brought them some food, over time we also called some villagers good friends, including the father of Da Zhao who sent me and your father out of the mountain, and the young Da Zhao even learned Chinese with us.

It wasn't until three months ago that everything had changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and Azuna summoned us again, and this time, Ajuna agreed to our previous proposal and decided to work with us. However, there is a premise in this, that is, we must first help her complete the task, and this task is also very simple in the eyes of your brother and me, that is, to take a Miao girl to Dianchi Lake.
