I looked at the second uncle in front of me and was stunned for a moment, what is the situation? How did the second uncle know Lantern Xiao's father? How did they come together.

The second uncle looked at me with a smile, but in his eyes, I saw a trace of heaviness and helplessness.

The second uncle walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder, "Stinky boy is okay!" ”

I shook my head blankly, "Second uncle, why did you come here?" You ...... with them."

The second uncle glanced at Tang Zhendong, "There was a cooperation many years ago. ”

Tang Zhendong said with a smile: "Although you and your second uncle have not seen each other for many years, we are still old friends, but I didn't expect your juniors to go to trouble together now, it's really fate, this is the will of God!" ”

The second uncle didn't smile at all, but sighed heavily.

I suddenly remembered the text message that my second uncle sent me, and hurriedly asked, "Second uncle, you ...... the message you gave me" Before I finished speaking, the second uncle secretly glanced at me, I would care, and quickly closed my mouth.

Several of us were all at our limit and in dire need of rest. Therefore, everyone didn't say more, and Lantern Xiao and I hurriedly ate something, and then went into the tent that had been prepared. Lantern Xiao just took off his coat and went straight into his sleeping bag.

No sooner had I unbuttoned my coat than my hand felt for something hard in my pocket, the wooden box I had found behind a stone door carved with seascapes and big fish, and I had almost forgotten it. I turned my head to show it to Lantern Xiao, but the kid was already snoring, so I hesitated and put it in my pocket.

I never thought it was such a wonderful thing to sleep, I slept very deeply, and by the time I opened my eyes again, it was noon the next day. I sat up from my sleeping bag and rubbed my head, which felt a little swollen. Looking back on my previous experience, I think it was so unreal, if it weren't for the bruises and purple marks on my body, I would even think it was a dream.

I got up and got out of the tent and saw that the others were still busy, and some were doing something with some equipment I didn't recognize. Shi Tao stood aside and looked at the mountain in front of him in a daze, and I walked over to say hello.

Shi Tao smiled at me and nodded, "How's your body?" Are you alright? ”

I smiled wryly, "It's like I'm falling apart." Shi Tao laughed when he heard this.

I pointed to the people who were operating the instruments, "What are those people doing?" ”

Shi Tao lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "They are searching for location." ”

"Positioning? What to search for? I asked, curious.

Shi Tao turned his head and looked at me seriously, "Do you remember the Tibetan temple we once arrived?" Do you remember the exact location? I shook my head firmly.

Shi Tao didn't give up, and continued to ask, "What about the canyon?" Do you remember the approximate location? ”

I said to myself, are you kidding me? You also think too highly of me, it was wind and snow at that time, let alone remember the location of the canyon, I couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest at that time.

Seeing that I shook my head like a rattle, Shi Tao sighed.

When I saw him like this, I asked him what was wrong?

Shi Tao was silent for a moment, and said: "You may not believe it when you say it, the canyon leading to the cliff hidden temple can't be found. ”

When I heard this, I was stunned, "How come?" It's a canyon, it's not a snake, it won't crawl away on its own! ”

Shi Tao shook his head, "We searched many times and carefully compared the satellite map, but we couldn't determine the location of that canyon. ”

"This," I really can't figure out, "it can't be our hallucination." ”

"Impossible!" Shi Tao denied my claim, "The injuries on my body are not fake, I went through a lot of hardships when I went down the mountain, and it doesn't feel like an illusion." ”

This reminds me of the story of Liaozhai. I suddenly remembered something, so I asked Shi Tao: "You are in a semi-coma after being injured, and we once thought about carrying you down the mountain, but when we came out of the canyon, we encountered an avalanche that blocked the way." When you came down the mountain, did you see the snow washed down by the avalanche? ”

Shi Tao nodded and said, "Speaking of this, I don't know if you are lucky or I am lucky, the night I woke up, there was a huge mountain wind blowing in the canyon. When the wind stopped the next day and I went down, a lot of snow that had been sealed on the road had been blown away a lot because it was very loose, but despite this, I still dug for almost four hours before I passed. ”

Shi Tao's words confirm what we see, that is to say, we are in and out of the same place that really exists, and it is not an illusion at all. But in this case, the matter is even more bizarre. Fortunately, I now have an indifferent attitude towards this kind of thing, mainly because of this experience, I have seen too many bizarre things.

"Hey! That's right! Shi Tao patted his head, "I almost forgot, we can ask Cai Rang Dorjee, he is the guide, maybe he will remember the route." Hey! It's strange, why haven't I seen him all this time, I forgot about him yesterday, where did this kid go, shouldn't he leave you halfway and run away by himself......"

Hearing Shi Tao's words, my heart twitched, and I stretched out my hand to interrupt him, "Well, Brother Tao, you may not know it yet, so you let Dorjee die!" ”

"Dead?" Shi Tao's face was full of surprise, "How did you die?" ”

"Hmm... I hesitated for a moment, and I really didn't know how to talk about it for a while, so I told Shi Tao: "The specific reason, then it's a long story, and in general, it's an accident." ”

Shi Tao nodded, "In their business, accidents are sometimes inevitable, so I'll send some money to his family when I go back." "I thought about it, and I thought it was all there was to it.

I was actually still thinking about going to talk to my second uncle, so I was about to leave, but just when I turned around, Shi Tao suddenly stopped me, "Zhuo Ran, you can save Confucius, I will also treat you as my own, I want to remind you, there are many people here, you have to be careful." ”

I stopped all of a sudden, "Brother Tao, what do you mean?" ”

Shi Tao said to me softly: "I think that Kong Ye himself quietly left the secret passage, to avoid the surveillance of some people, although I don't know who Kong Ye is guarding against, but now that you are also involved, it is better to be careful." ”

I thought about it for a while, and felt that Shi Tao's guess was valid, so I smiled and said, "Got it, thank you, Brother Tao." ”

I was about to look for my second uncle, when suddenly an off-road vehicle stopped in front of me, the window rolled down, and I saw the second uncle sitting in the co-pilot, beckoning to me: "Let's go, let's go back!" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, this is going back? Suddenly, my heart felt empty.

At this time, the door in the back row opened, and Lantern Xiao jumped down from it and walked up to me, "I'm sorry Zhuo Ran, I wanted to bring you over to play, but I didn't expect it to be like this." We'll get back together when we get back. As he spoke, he opened the door and motioned for me to get into the car.

"Why aren't you leaving?" I asked him.

Lantern Xiao looked back at the busy guys, "No, I'll go back with my dad and them in two days." ”

"Okay!" I nodded, "Take care!" After saying that, I jumped into the car and sat next to the father and daughter of the Kong family in the back row.

Lantern Xiao watched our car behind and left in the dust.

Along the way, I looked at the snow-capped mountains under the blue sky, which were so holy and beautiful. Coming home, it's something I've been longing for these days. And now that I'm really going home, I suddenly feel very uncomfortable in my heart, reluctant, unwilling, or confused.

I suddenly remembered that I still have a lot of questions to figure out! At the very least, why did Uncle Kong suddenly go to that strange ancient tomb in Qilian Mountain alone, I should always know, right? I even wondered, was Uncle Kong really in that camp twenty years ago? Who built that tomb? Who excavated this tomb on such a large scale in the Tang Dynasty? What's inside that Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin? Another important thing is, who sent that photo I received? Why is it the same as the scene of the giant snake seen in the tomb?

Countless questions bumped into my mind, and I impulsively wanted to ask Uncle Kong for clarification now.

I turned my head abruptly and found that Uncle Kong was closing his eyes at this time, his face was pale, and he looked extremely weak, just like the state in the tomb. But it was precisely like this that I wanted to know the reason why he took such a big risk to go to the ancient tomb of Qilian Mountain, but I really couldn't bear to stimulate him again. Eventually, I held back, and I consoled myself that I knew what could happen.

Uncle Kong felt that I was looking at him, so he opened his eyes, I was a little cramped all of a sudden, forced a smile, and said, "Uncle Kong, how do you feel?" ”

When Uncle Kong heard this, he shook his head and said weakly: "I'm old, I can't do it!" It's already a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't be able to jump for a few days. "Uncle Kong's state is not very good, this witty remark is quite slippery.

Kong Xue hurriedly pushed Uncle Kong, and said angrily: "Dad, look at you, talking nonsense again!" ”

I also hurriedly echoed: "That's it, your old body is good, not to mention your age, even we young people can't bear it!" ”

Uncle Kong smiled, "Your name is Zhuo Ran, right?" I nodded hurriedly, and said in my heart that I was desperate to save you, and now you just know what my name is!

Uncle Kong continued: "Yes, it's very good, it's really a general!" ”

I didn't understand what he meant at once, and the second uncle who was sitting in the front row turned his head, "Hey, I said Master Kong, you have promoted us, we are not generals, and my eldest nephew doesn't want to be a tiger." We just want to live in peace. ”

Uncle Kong smiled, "Master Zhuo, you are too modest!" ”

Master Zhuo? This second uncle, who usually giggles, can still be called a master. Usually in his pharmacy, he is called Dr. Zhuo at most. What's going on?

I was about to ask, but Uncle Kong turned his head to me and said, "Actually, I understand that you want to know the reason why I went up the mountain. Just because you are desperate to save each other, I shouldn't hide it from you. "When I heard this, I was overjoyed, it seems that there is a door, and this mystery is finally about to be revealed. I didn't make a sound, and continued to listen quietly. Uncle Kong paused, thought for a while, and said lightly: "After we go back, let's have a good chat." Hearing this, my heart struggled, and I resisted the curiosity in my chest and nodded.
