Chapter Thirty-Eight: Time Connects and Remembers

"Tombs? Through the walls? ”

"yes, yes." Tang Kari described what we saw in the tomb that day, and finally said strangely: "I wonder why they can both see the past, but I can't see it alone." ”

Jiang Xun paused, then laughed and teased, "Because you didn't go over." ”

Tang Jiao snorted and looked at him with disgusted eyes, Jiang Xun was about to speak, Tang Jiao interrupted him, "You haven't told us how you escaped." ”

Jiang Xun was helpless, "We just fled in different directions at the time, and after leaving, we appeared in different positions, so we didn't collide, but you misunderstood." ”

"And where did you run from?"

"The entrance to the hall." Jiang Xun said: "The things are also taken there, there are so many rooms in the underground palace, and each one is not locked, it is not difficult to find a place to avoid people." ”

"But we saw you that day, just like we did when we dispersed, tied to a wooden shelf, how could you not have been caught."

"I was about to say this, what are you anxious about?"

"Then hurry up!" Tang Jiao glared, "We made such a fuss today to save you." ”

Jiang Xun pinched his brows, and let him finish complaining before he spoke: "As I said before, the destruction of all their objects will be restored in the fog in the early hours of every day, and the portraits you see in the tomb are just in time for this." Someone wanted to cover up that period of history, so the tomb was closed, but you encountered this short process, as for the later talk of passing through the wall, it is because the special blood body when it came into contact with the transformation process stimulated the memories stored in the mural, and poured everything that the painter experienced into his mind, forming a channel of connection with the time of the year through the wall. ”

"A special bloodline?" I don't understand.

Jiang Xun glanced at me, "You are different from ordinary people, you don't know yourself?" ”

However, "What about Ziwei? ”

Jiang Xun didn't say anything, Tang Jiao interjected in a low voice, "Don't you all say that he has no father, and his mother died after he was born, is it a ghost fetus with bad luck?" ”

My face changed suddenly, "They talk nonsense! This is pure nonsense! ”

"Iβ€”That's what I said, paraphrase, paraphrase! I didn't say this, so don't be angry at me. ”

"Whatever the reason, it's true that he has no father or mother, and his origin is unknown." Jiang Xun said: "Maybe he hasn't shown anything unusual yet, but I'm afraid he is really not a normal person." ”

I don't accept this kind of argument, Jiang Xun put on a look of whether you believe it or not, and asked, "Didn't you say before that everyone was poisoned by cockroaches?" ”

Tang Kao nodded, and Jiang Xun smiled, "Actually, no, at least now I don't, Shen Qing doesn't, and there isn't that over there." He raised his chin and pointed at Ziwei, "He's bloody." ”

"Am I the only one who was infected?" Tang Jiao said, Jiang Xun nodded, and his lips immediately turned white.

Jiang Xun didn't care about his feelings at all, and said to himself: "Following the previous words, the reason why you see me in the underground palace is just an illusion made by them using objects that can store and release memories, so they feel that when I was tied up there I was exactly the same as before you left, if I guessed correctly, they should not let you get close, just for fear of being recognized as a real image." ”

No one responded, so he continued: "I have been observing for a long time in the vicinity in the past few days, and Muzhang County is basically a perfect circle that spreads outward with their residential area as the center, with swamps on the front, jungles on the back, and cliffs and cliffs on all sides. When we came in, there was a seal under the water, and we were filled with strong yang energy, and after entering Muzhang County, the whole world was wrapped in yin energy, which formed a strong contrast with the outside, so as to separate us. So I think if we want to find an outlet, we should first find a way to find the source of these yin qi, break this seal, and let Muzhang County reappear in our world, just like the image we two saw that time. ”

Jiang Xun turned to look at me and said, "As for how to find it, it's up to you." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Can't do it?" He was defiant, and I took a deep breath, "If you can keep us safe and make sure we don't get harassed, I'll be able to find an exit." ”

"Okay." Jiang Xun agreed without thinking, and said with a smile: "Give a deadline." ”

I hesitated, and was about to speak, when he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let you go, take your time." ”

I was speechless again, and when I was trying to figure out a way, I suddenly remembered, and I felt for the stone in between, and handed it to him.

Jiang Xun took it, glanced at it casually, and was stunned, his expression revealed a strange color, and his tone was a little hurried, and said, "Ancient characters, where did they come from?" ”

I said, "What do you know about the corpse of the woman in the tomb?" ”

Jiang Xun was silent, and after a few seconds, he said: "This is the general's order, which is engraved with the surname of the imperial marshal, the name of the general. ”

"What?"

He pursed his thin lips, looked full of thoughts, and said, "Muge." ”

"Mu?" I repeat.

Jiang Xun snorted, his face strange.

The dejected Tang Jiao lay on the hay and covered his stomach and said, "Is it something from Miss Mu's family?" How could that be on that woman's corpse? ”

I suddenly made a guess and said, "Mu Jinshu also has a dead sister, could it be her?" She is the eldest daughter in the family, and the first thing that comes to mind about the heirloom treasures in the family should be passed on to her instead of Mu Jinshu. ”

"Her sister is the leader." Tang Jiao said: "If you die, you should be buried with other people, how can you be buried in the wall and still be dead." ”

He rolled his eyelids and looked at me, "Shopkeeper Shen, didn't you say that he killed the female corpse, they have such a strong class consciousness, who dares to kill the leader?" ”

"The next leader." A voice came out, and I looked back and saw that Ziwei woke up at some point, propped himself up and sat up, his breath was faint, "The leader is only the leader when he is in power." The stronger the class consciousness, the stronger the struggle, the more calculations there are among each other, and no one does not want power and is willing to grovel for the rest of their lives. ”

"The same chosen ones, do you remember how they treated the little mute?" Ziwei said: "If she can endure for a while, it doesn't mean that she can endure for a lifetime, but if she can endure for a lifetime, it doesn't mean that others can endure it." ”

Jiang Xun smiled, "So let's sort out this matter, the cause and effect have already been derived." ”

"Mu Jinshu's sister chose the current leader to be his successor when she was alive, but the way they treated her before she took office was too painful, which led to the deepening hatred in her heart, and when she grew up, in order to inherit the position a day earlier, she tricked people into the tomb and strangled her with a rope, in order to hide people's eyes and ears from others, she built the body in the wall, and then found a craftsman to seal the tomb, and designed to trap them inside, and no one knew about it after killing, Since then, I have been doing this leader with peace of mind until now. ”

Tang Jiao finished chattering, and added: "Did she also paint off the mural?" ”

After saying that, he denied himself: "There's no reason." ”

I said, "With her status at the time, it is impossible to make such a big battle without knowing it, and she can't explain it to anyone afterwards, the leader is missing, and someone will always look for her, so it's too simple to let her take the throne." ”

Tang Karan said: "Anyway, we know what their leader doesn't want to be known, and that's an advantage." Let's go tell her now, and we'll tell her about it if she doesn't let us go." ”

Ziwei frowned, "She is more likely to kill people, you can give it a try if you want." ”

"Don't forget that there was a turmoil here fifty years ago, and the leader at that time was still Mu Jinshu's sister." Jiang Xun looked far-reaching, looked at the entrance of the cave, and said lightly: "In special times, no matter how wise a person is on weekdays, he will make mistakes, and he cannot be perfect. It may not be as difficult for her to take the throne as you think, just find a reason, maybe most people will agree. We can't decide about this kind of thing, and it's best not to act rashly. ”

"I still have one more doubt." I said, "Since Jiang Xun said that all the objects here will return to their original state when the fog rises in the early morning, why are the filled tombs not." ”

The two of them were indecisive, the atmosphere was silent, and the wind outside was blowing and whining at the mouth of the cave.

Jiang Xun took down the dried clothes from the wooden frame he had built, threw a large pile of them at me, leaned against the stone wall with his arms crossed, and said softly: "Since coming here, except for the wedding days, have you seen their weather change?" ”

The three of them shook their heads, usually not paying attention, and it seemed to be true that every day was exactly the same temperature, the same not warm sunshine, only the rain and cooling down in the past few days when we were ready to get married. It was the hottest month of July, and dog days, but they only felt cold.

Jiang Xun said: "All changes must have a reason, both of them. Nature is eternal, all things are small, and it is human beings who can respond to all changes with the same, and those who need to change to survive for themselves. ”

"Artificial?" Tang Ka turned his head, "It's too mysterious......"

"This ceremony is certainly not a simple wedding, but it's a pity that you started too early, if you do it later, maybe we already know the reason by this time."

"You said it lightly, according to your thoughts, we might have been killed by them."

"I'm here, no." He was so confident that people gritted their teeth, Tang Jiao complained and snorted, "The devil knows where you are." ”

Jiang Xun smiled and straightened up, "I'll go find something to eat, don't move where you are." ”

"I'm with you." I tied the tart whip and put on the cloak.

The forest was very large, and Jiang Xun walked in front and told me to be careful. I hummed, and after a long walk, he pointed to the top of his head and said, "This fruit can be eaten." ”

I looked up, "Where?" ”

"The fog is so thick that you can't see it." He walked over to the tree and jumped up with his body neatly on it.

A thought popped up in my mind, people are worthy of being the descendants of apes, and some people have not lost the ability of their ancestors.

Just thinking about it, I was suddenly hit on the head by a small fruit, I took a breath of hiss, and before I could dodge, a lot of noise fell from the top of my head, I quickly buckled my hat and ran away, and when I looked down, I saw that the ground was full of green ball-sized fruits, rolling to the ground, with water droplets It looks very good.

I crouched down to pick it up, but there was nothing to load, so I turned my cloak and forward, picked it up one by one, and stuffed it into my hat.

When he got up, Jiang Xun was jumping down from the tree, and when he saw me, he sneered, and then laughed more and more.

I grabbed a fruit and threw it at his face, he grabbed it and took a bite, pointed in the other direction and said with a smile: "There are edible wild vegetables over there, dig a little?" ”

"How can we dig without tools?"

"It's okay to pick some leaves." He laughed, "Stupid." ”

I held my breath and ignored him, and walked over there, because I couldn't squat down with the fruit, Jiang Xun asked me not to move in place, picking leaves, I happened to see that the grass not far away was overwhelmed, turned on my vigilance, called Jiang Xun softly, and signaled to him in that direction.
