Is it just a coincidence that my dream was exactly the same as it was more than twenty years ago?

This discovery made my mind confused for a while, and all those strange phenomena at that time came to my mind again.

Uncle Kong didn't notice my distraction, so he continued: "After we were rescued, there was another big avalanche there, and I heard that a large amount of snow almost buried the canyon. We weren't able to go in again. Soon after, Tang Zhendong was transferred out of the outpost, and heard that he had been discharged from the army early due to illness. Because of my meritorious service this time, I was transferred to the organ of the military region. ”

I remembered the weird camp and asked eagerly, "What happened later?" Have you reported it? Is there any organization of excavation and sorting work? ”

When Uncle Kong heard my question, his face changed, and he nodded: "We did report the discovery of the ancient tomb, and the army also cooperated with the archaeological and scientific research departments to carry out a large-scale excavation project. Moreover, this time is different from the previous archaeological excavation work, this excavation work is not only large-scale, but also highly confidential. It seems that the tomb must be very unusual, and the project has been going on for many years. ”

I found that what Uncle Kong said here was very vague, so I asked, "What about you, Uncle Kong, aren't you involved?" ”

Hearing me ask, Kong Xue on the side looked up at me, she knew that I was asking knowingly, but she didn't make a sound, it seemed that she also wanted to know what happened back then.

Uncle Kong didn't rush to answer my question, but picked up the cup and took a sip of water. I was surprised to find Uncle Kong's hand holding the cup, trembling uncontrollably.

Uncle Kong settled down and said: "I did participate in the archaeological excavation work that year, and I once saw a person in the archaeological camp, this person is very similar to the Yellow Mountain back then, but it was only a flash, and I haven't seen him again, so I don't have a way to determine whether it is him." And that archaeological project ultimately failed. ”

"Huangshan?" I thought for a moment, "Could it be the person you rescued from the avalanche?" ”

Uncle Kong nodded, "Yes." And my entry into the mountain this time also has a lot to do with that person. Uncle Kong paused, took a few deep breaths in a row, and I saw that he didn't seem to be in good shape, so I asked him if he wanted to take a break. Uncle Kong waved his hand and continued: "To be honest, this matter has been pressing on my heart for twenty years, I have consulted a lot of information, and I have never given up the study of that ancient tomb. And just two nights before you and the Lantern Festival came to summer, when I returned to my bedroom, I suddenly found a note stuffed in the crack of the window, which read: If you want to know the secret of the ancient tomb back then, come to Qilian Mountain to find me, and tell me to be careful of your tail and not to be followed. And left a coordinate and meeting time. And the signature of that note is Huangshan. ”

Kong Xue couldn't help but say, "Dad! That's why you didn't say goodbye? ”

Uncle Kong nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "I didn't expect you little guys to dare to come up the mountain to find me!" ”

"Dad, have you seen the one named Huangshan?"

Uncle Kong sighed, "No, I didn't see this person until the end." I don't know why he missed the appointment. ”

After Uncle Kong's narration, we probably already know the story, but there are still many details that are still a mystery. I thought about it for a while, and asked a question that had been pressing on my heart for a long time: "Uncle Kong, what happened to you in the archaeological camp back then?" ”

Who knows, as soon as I said this question, Uncle Kong, whose face was already a little relaxed, had a stiff expression, and his eyes looked at me straight, and I found that his eyes were full of fear.

Uncle Kong stretched out his hand to the teacup in a trance, but as soon as he picked it up, his hand trembled, and the teacup was thrown on the ground, and then the whole person lay backwards, his breathing became very short, his face turned pale, and the person was already unconscious.

The second uncle, who had not spoken, suddenly got up when he saw it, stepped forward and reached out to pinch Uncle Kong's middle point, and then took out the acupuncture bag on his waist with one hand. We also rushed forward to help. The second uncle asked me to untie the acupuncture bag, and then quickly pulled out two silver needles, pierced into Uncle Kong's two acupuncture points like lightning, and then laid him flat on the sofa.

Soon Uncle Kong's face returned to normal, and his breathing became much smoother, but he still didn't wake up. The second uncle stretched out his hand to give Uncle Kong a pulse, frowned and said to Kong Xue: "Girl, I am only temporarily controlling his condition, I think it is better to find a big hospital quickly and have a comprehensive examination." ”

Kong Xue nodded hurriedly, and hurriedly ordered the men to send Uncle Kong to the hospital. After an examination in the hospital, Uncle Kong's body did not find any problems, and the doctor speculated that it was only due to excessive overdraft, and recommended hospitalization for observation. Although there are still too many mysteries in my heart that have not been solved, I can only keep them in my heart for the time being.

As Uncle Kong's condition stabilized, Shi Tao also rushed back. Moreover, the Kong family is also a big family here, with a large number of relatives and friends plus buddies and nannies. My second uncle and I have no need to stay.

Later, Shi Tao told me that Lantern Xiao and his father had returned to Beijing, and their search in Qilian Mountain found nothing. My second uncle and I also decided to take the nearest flight back.

When I said goodbye at the airport that day, Kong Xue's eyes were red, and my heart was a little sour, but what can I do, I am an unemployed otaku, she is the eldest lady of the Kong family, if it weren't for this accident, we might be people from two worlds at all, and there would be no intersection.

I was ruthless, turned around and boarded the plane with my second uncle.

On the plane, the second uncle smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "The eldest nephew has grown up and is already in love!" ”

I glared at him, "I said second uncle, don't use idioms if you don't know how to use them, it's disgusting." ”

The second uncle laughed, "You are a lovelorn person, I don't care about you." ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and put on my headphones in a huff. If he wasn't my second uncle, I would have kicked him twice.

After getting off the plane, I went back to my home, and my second uncle went back to his pharmacy.

After spending a few days at home with my parents, the warmth of home quickly diluted those bad memories. Those fog monsters, Gu newts, giant snakes, and the mysterious Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin have been sealed into the depths of my memory, and maybe in the future, when I am old, I can use them as the capital to brag about X.

A few days after the family reunion, my father was going out again because of business. There was something wrong with my mother's superior unit, so I was suddenly a lot busier at work. And I'm pretty much living the life of a single otaku again.

I took out the wooden box I had found in the tomb, and although it had a small lock on it, it had been so old that I had broken it with a simple pry with a knife. The wooden box was opened, and inside was a seal that looked like it was made of brass. Although it has been thousands of years, it is still intact, the surface is a little oxidized, I wiped it a little, and it was immediately as bright as new. I really don't know what kind of material this is.

This seal is not big, the carving is extremely detailed, and there is a ring hollow at the top, which is very heavy in the hand, which makes me like it very much. There are eight seals engraved on the seal, but I don't know it, but I don't care, as long as it's not a curse. The wooden box was a little decayed and had been tossed aside by me, but the seal had been carefully put into my pocket.

After all kinds of tossing and turning in the ancient tomb, my mobile phone screen has been broken like a spider web, and the phone can not be called, but fortunately, it can still be turned on, and I quickly copied out the important information in it, including photos, contacts, text messages, etc. I casually opened the album, and a few photos caught my attention, one of which was the statue of the horse stepping on the snake that I had taken in the underground secret room of Kong Xue's house. The other is the sixteen skulls that Lantern Xiao and I found on the ground in the canyon. And the last one is the stone gate with a sea view in the catacomb.

I think each of them is a mystery, but who knows what the mystery is? I decided to take the help of the almighty Internet, and I posted these photos on several forums for archaeology enthusiasts and antique identification. Soon there was a reply, for the statue of the horse stepping on the snake, most of the answers were similar, everyone was used to the shape of the horse stepping on the swallow, right this thing, unanimously thought it was a modern imitation of the craft. I don't think so. They haven't seen it with their own eyes, they can't experience that feeling, and it's definitely not something that handicrafts can do.

As for the sixteen skulls, I think only one person's answer is very reliable, he said that the form of these sixteen skeletons is very similar to the innate gossip, and there must be some kind of ritual meaning in it.

As for the third photo, there are different opinions, and I don't see any useful answers, and I don't want to waste any more time, so I hurriedly went out and bought a mobile phone, and by the way, I bought a lanyard to string the seal and wear it around my neck.

When I got home, I transferred the data from my old phone to my new phone. I inadvertently saw the half of the text message sent to me by the second uncle, and I couldn't help but wonder: What does the second uncle want to say in the second half of the sentence? I was tickled by my curiosity, and after hurriedly getting my mobile phone, I called my second uncle. But what I didn't expect to hear was: Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off! Sorry！ %!￥#@！ ……%!@￥！ @......

"I'll go! Why is this old man still turned off? Business is not done? I was a little confused, so I called the second uncle's shop again, and the guy who answered the phone told me that the second uncle hadn't come for almost two or three days, and it seemed that he had gone out.

I put down the phone and muttered in my heart, how can I go out without my phone, but why do I turn it off when I bring it? Nothing should happen.

Although I sometimes quarrel with my second uncle, in fact, my relationship with my second uncle is still quite deep, and when my parents were busy with work when I was a child, they would occasionally put me to my second uncle. So although the relationship between the two of us is that of uncle and nephew, sometimes it is more like father and son, or like friends.

I think it's possible that the second uncle's mobile phone was turned off and he was careless and didn't notice that the phone was out of battery. I didn't particularly care. But the next day, I called the second uncle's mobile phone again, but it was still turned off, and I kept calling until noon, and I still couldn't contact the second uncle. Now I was a little panicked, I left a note for my parents, and I didn't explain it to them, just said that I would go to my second uncle to play for a few days. After that, I packed my things and got into the car bound for my hometown.

After getting out of the car, I went straight to the second uncle's shop, but there was no trace of the second uncle there, and the guys told me that the second uncle only said that he might go out the night before, and he didn't come back the next day. As for where they went, they didn't know.

I took a taxi to my second uncle's house. The second uncle has always lived alone, the second uncle had a marriage in the early years, in fact, I have a good impression of the second aunt back then, every time I come will be warmly entertained, I and the second uncle and the second aunt have never had a gap between the younger and the elders, but unfortunately the second uncle was not doing his job at that time, he was not at home all day, I don't know what he was tossing day by day, and finally the second aunt left the second uncle. Every time I think about it, I sigh.

I have the key to my second uncle's house, and when I opened the door and went in, I saw that the house was quite neat. At the very least, it doesn't look like the second uncle has been kidnapped. I couldn't find any clues about my second uncle's whereabouts for a while, and suddenly in a flash, a small light that turned on attracted my attention, which was the second uncle's fax machine. The second uncle basically used his own home as an office, and used this to send and receive faxes and sign contracts, and it was still the brand I chose for him.

I sat down at the fax machine, looked at the reprint button, and reached for it. This fax machine has a memory function that can reprint the latest fax received. Soon a squeaky print sounded, and a black-and-white sketch slowly slid out of the fax machine. When I looked at it, I immediately felt that my blood was cold, and what was printed on this piece of paper was actually a picture of a big fish in the seascape on the stone door of the tombway!
