Peng Jiamu was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what the old man meant, and he asked, "Did you send me this letter?" ”

The old man's eyes revealed a strange smile, and he replied mysteriously, "Yes and no." ”

Peng Jiamu heard the pun in the old man's answer, and he couldn't help but wonder.

The old man seemed to know his name, and had waited for him for a long time.

The old man chuckled, and his eyes revealed a hint of mockery and deep meaning: "This letter is indeed sent to you by me, but it was not sent from me. ”

Pengamu fell into a deeper bewilderment, and he struggled to understand the meaning of the sentence.

He sensed that the old man contained many incredible secrets, and he began to wonder if he had entered a realm that was very different from the real world.

The old man saw the confusion in Pengamu's heart, and he said slowly: "Pengamu, it is not an accident that you came to this desert. I can tell you the truth about this world, but you have to do something for me. ”

When I heard this, my eyes narrowed, and I subconsciously blurted out: "The old man wants you to transport a black snake-patterned box, right?!" ”

Pengamu looked at me in surprise, frowned and asked, "How do you know?" ”

My heart thumped and beat hard, the old man at the rest stop had actually met Pengamu in 1980.

This discovery shocked and intrigued me, and I can't wait to know more details.

Pengamu hesitated, obviously surprised by what I knew, and he cautiously asked, "How do you know?" Is there any connection between us? ”

Instead of answering his question, I looked closely at Pengamu and felt only an indescribable haze creeping through the air.

Forty-three years have passed since 1980, and the passage of time is incredible.

However, what scared and disturbed me the most was not the passage of time, not the old man who had lived for so long and still not died, not the rest stop that had the ability to lose time, and not the old man who made Peng Jiamu and I do the same thing, but that Peng Jiamu from 1980 actually knew that it was 2023!!

What does this mean exactly?!!!

I hid my inner thoughts and tried to keep my composure.

I approached Pengamu and asked softly, "Did you do what he asked?" ”

Pengamu pushed his black-rimmed glasses and looked at me with a wary expression, he shook his head and said, "Not yet, I haven't found the pillar he said." I felt that the clues he gave me were too vague to find a specific location. ”

My eyes lit up, and I suddenly thought of something.

I said excitedly, "In other words, the serpentine box is still on you!" The old man has kept you for so many years! ”

Pengamu's expression became more wary, and he pursed his lips tightly, as if he was considering whether to tell me more information.

He took a deep breath and finally spoke, "Yes, I've always had that snake box with me. I knew it was a huge secret, but I never found the right time and place to uncover it. ”

This discovery made me even more confused and curious.

Why didn't Pengamu open the serpentine box?

What kind of secrets are hidden inside?

And why did the old man choose Pengamu and me to hand over this clue to our fate?

Did he have guessed that Pengamu and I would meet?

All the questions swirled in my head, but the answers remained vague.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, which seemed to bring an eerie murmuring sound.

I turned my head to look at Pengamu and noticed that his expression had become more nervous, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

We all feel something unusual, as if there is some kind of force secretly manipulating all this.

The fear and curiosity in my heart was at its peak.

I can understand Pengamu's hesitation and concern.

Faced with such a strange situation, we have all fallen into situations that we cannot foresee and grasp.

However, I knew that a deeper trust and cooperation with Pengamu would have to be built to solve the puzzle.

My tone softened, and I said inducingly, "I'll be honest with you, Pengamu, I also met the old man, and he asked me to deliver the box. ”

Pengamu frowned, looking at me nervously.

I sighed softly, tried to maintain a calm demeanor, and continued, "Pengamu, you can trust me. I'm not an enemy, but someone who's been caught up in this situation just like you. Both of us have an important mission, and we should be united. ”

Pengamu stared at me, a flash of hesitation and distrust in his eyes.

However, he finally let go of his pursed lips and replied in a low voice, "Then do you know what all this means?" Why are we shipping this box? ”

I shook my head and continued, "Pengamu, don't you think it's all too weird? The identity of the old man, the rest stop out of time, the fact that you and I were doing the same thing were all too coincidental. I always felt like there was an invisible hand behind my back......"

I continued: "I did as the old man asked, and opened a palace. The interior of the palace is ornate and intricately furnished, but it exudes an air of decay and dead silence.

I looked around and found a bronze coffin in the center of the entire palace, the lid of which was carved with mysterious and strange runes, emitting bursts of faint blue light.

The lid of the coffin was still covered with a thick layer of dust, and it seemed that it had been forgotten for countless years.

I approached the bronze coffin and gazed at the woman inside, she was beautiful in appearance, but she had an inhuman mysterious temperament.

Her eyes are deep and dark, as if they possess endless wisdom and power.

But the path of eternal life she pursued was very wicked.

I was almost killed by her.

She used a strange power that almost drained me of my life force.

At that moment, I felt the shadow of death, as if swallowed by the endless darkness. ”

"Pengamu, the ancient coffin in this box may be the secret related to this woman. We were drawn into this situation, perhaps to uncover her true purpose. I continued, my tone full of worry and unease.

Pengamu looked at me stunned, his eyes rolling and his expression becoming complicated, as if weighing his choice.

I watched his demeanor and speculated in my heart about his inner thoughts.
