Sacrifice?

I don't agree with Gong Hanzhang's opinion: "But Cao Qian didn't die in the cave, at least on the day of your accident, she wasn't sacrificed. ”

"Didn't Sissi die in a cave?" Gong Hanzhang said in disbelief, "I fell down the mountain and fell into a coma, and when I finally woke up, I went back to the cave again, and there was nothing in it, I thought that Qian Qian had been killed before leaving." ”

When Gong Hanzhang woke up, Cao Qian was probably carried back by Wang Dazhu.

By mistake, Gong Hanzhang missed the opportunity to finally rescue Cao Qian.

But even if Gong Hanzhang found Cao Qian at that time, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape.

After all, that cave was so hidden, and so many people went to look for it later but couldn't find it, how did Wang Dazhu happen to break into the cave and meet the injured Cao Qian?

So from beginning to end, Wang Dazhu is a chess piece in the collision link, and the manipulator behind it is the ghost mushroom essence, or the thing in the coffin.

I was thinking about it, Gong Hanzhang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, and asked, "Classmate Chonghuan, what happened to Qianqian back then, can you tell me in detail?" ”

I told Gong Hanzhang how Cao Qian was carried down the mountain, promised to marry Wang Dazhu, and hanged herself on the big locust tree on the wedding day.

Gong Hanzhang's brows furrowed more and more, and when I finished speaking, he immediately said: "It is impossible for Qian Qian to agree to marry someone else, the relationship between the two of us for seven years has already been agreed for life, she must have been coerced or controlled." ”

Gong Hanzhang's thoughts coincide with mine.

"That's why I came to you." I said solemnly, "Professor Gong, after so many years, Cao Qian's soul has been trapped under the big locust tree and cannot get out, she took the risk to remind me to go to the cave in the back mountain, I think the key to saving her soul should be there." ”

"Or sacrifice!" Gong Hanzhang said firmly, "From the time your mother hit the devil to the time you saw Qianqian, what you saw was always her soul, but what about her corpse?" ”

"If my guess is correct, after Sissi hanged herself, her body was returned to the cave and sacrificed to the coffin!"

I was puzzled, "Professor Gong, why do you keep clinging to the word sacrifice?" Don't you want to see Cao Qian again right away? ”

"Go! A must go! Gong Hanzhang clenched his fists and was resolute, but then said again, "But this matter is not so simple, classmate Chonghuan, before returning to Dushui Village, I want to go back and get something, are you with me?" ”

I hesitated, but nodded.

After all, Gong Hanzhang is a key person, he is well-informed, and with his help, he can get twice the result with half the effort.

Gong Hanzhang drove me all the way out of the university town and to the mid-mountain villa area on the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

It is a two-storey villa that is not luxurious, hidden in the mountains and forests, and has a unique atmosphere of seclusion.

Gong Hanzhang lived alone, and when he opened the door of the villa, he led me all the way to the study on the second floor.

As soon as the door of the study opened, there were rows of bookshelves, and by the wall on the right was a large desk, on which there was a computer, piles of folders, and a picture frame.

In the photo frame, the young Gong Hanzhang and Cao Qian are nestled together and are very intimate.

"This is what I took together after I successfully confessed to Sissi."

Gong Hanzhang picked up the photo frame, raised his hand and stroked Cao Qian's cheek, his eyes were full of tenderness: "Qianqian, we will be able to meet soon." ”

He put down the frame, pulled open the third drawer under the desk, and pulled out a map from inside.

He unfolded the map on his desk, and I recognized it at a glance as the setting of the mountain behind the village of Dushui.

The map is a little old, it is densely packed with various markers, and some landmarks still have traces of alteration, it seems that over the years, Gong Hanzhang has revisited the old place more than once, and he has never really put it down.

No wonder he has been thriving in the archaeological community of Jiangcheng over the years, but he has always been alone, Cao Qian occupied his entire youth, like-minded with him, but was taken away in front of his eyes, how could he forget?

This is a long-term lover!

"Chonghuan, come and see."

Gong Hanzhang held a black pen in his hand, pointed to a landmark in the upper part of the map, and said: "This is the cave, it is halfway up the mountain, but the coffin sinks to the position of almost the bottom of the mountain, and then extends out in all directions, here, here, and here......"

The black pen radiated around the position of the coffin, and pointed out four or five more landmarks: "With my years of experience in exploring the terrain, these places I have pointed out should all have coffins buried." ”

"Wait." I stared at the comparison of two of them, "This is my family's ancestral grave, and the high ground opposite is where my grandfather wanted to be buried before he died. ”

Gong Hanzhang nodded, then connected these points into a line, and then pointed out another point on this line and said: "Not only these points, but here, it is likely to be the next tomb where the coffin is buried." ”

I stared at the point pointed out by Gong Hanzhang, my eyes widened in shock, and I asked, "Do you know where this is?" ”

"Approaching the village of Watari Village." Gong Hanzhang said, "But every time I go, I go straight to the back mountain, and I have never entered the village, so I am not sure what is here." ”

"This used to be the land temple of Dushui Village." My voice trembled, "Just last night, they dug up the land temple and buried my grandfather's coffin in it, but I saw with my own eyes that my grandfather's coffin went in horizontally. ”

Gong Hanzhang's face also changed: "Did you stay until the end?" Are you sure you went in horizontally? ”

No.

After the coffin was buried and the earth was filled, the village chief urged me and my mother to leave, and I don't know if they ever touched the coffin again.

At this moment, I was a little uneasy: "Professor Gong, I have to go back to the village immediately, they are digging the foundation, and they are going to build a snake temple in this area, once the foundation is formed, it will be too late." ”

After saying that, I didn't care too much, so I raised my feet and left.

Gong Hanzhang quickly rolled up the map, packed another backpack, and chased it out: "Get in the car, I'll go to Dushui Village with you." ”

The car was jolting forward, and I sat in the passenger seat, and my mind was in a mess.

Building a snake temple and burying my grandfather, my mother was involved in the whole thing, so does she know the twists and turns in it?

Does she know that her grandfather's coffin will eventually be buried upright?

If so, why did she promise the village chief to cooperate with them to accomplish all this?

I thought of Mo Jiuqi again, the moment he agreed to build a snake temple, his expression was so subtle.

He's in the know, right?

He knew the consequences of agreeing to build the Snake Temple, but he compromised, whether to help the abuse, or ...... Want to teach me a lesson?
