Chapter 44 Don’t mention old things

 After hearing Wu Xiaoxie's words, Huo Xiuxiu breathed a long sigh of relief, as if she was completely relieved, and joked: "Brother Wu Xie, I didn't expect that you would become so smart when you grew up, despite being dull when you were a child."
p>

Wu Xiaoxie twitched his lips and accepted her useless compliment.

"The second photo of my aunt I gave you was taken from a newspaper found in the Beijing Museum. The time was 1984." Huo Xiuxiu put away the smile on her face and became serious, "And that year they went to Xisha

During the archeology, the time was exactly 1984."

Huo Xiuxiu continued: "The time difference cannot be determined for the time being, but if you look at this photo of Xisha, based on the surrounding environment and eliminating interference factors such as shoes, I calculated that the aunt in this photo is 1.68 meters tall.



"In the other two photos, the 18-year-old photo of my aunt in Wangfujing is 1.65 meters tall. It is assumed that she will grow taller in the future, but why did her height appear in the 1984 newspaper of the Beijing Museum a few years later?

Not only did I not grow taller, I actually shrank by five centimeters."

Huo Xiuxiu sighed, "So, brother Wu Xie, your guess is right. The person who came back from Guangxi is really not my aunt."

"But one thing I still can't figure out is why the fake aunt grew back in height after she left home and went to Xisha." Huo Xiuxiu looked straight at Wu Xiaoxie, "Is it like you said, there are two

The team was playing a game, and it turned out that the person who was actually in Xisha was actually the real aunt."

"So, have you ever wondered where the fake aunt went? Why did she suddenly disappear, as if she had evaporated from the world, without any news." Huo Xiuxiu's voice had a hint of guidance, leading others to involuntarily

I started thinking along her words.

"It doesn't make sense." Zhang Zhuxun suddenly said, looking at Huo Xiuxiu meaningfully, "Since you already know the whereabouts of the real Huo Ling, why are you so persistent in tracking down a replacement?"

Huo Xiuxiu's expression stiffened for a moment, and then she said a bit rogue: "I'm curious, and I've already said so much. It's time for you to tell me the information you know. You can't always take advantage of me."<

/p>

Wu Xiaoxie just thought her persistence was strange. If most people knew about the danger hidden behind it, they would wish they had never known it, kept it secret, and stayed away.

This little girl was quite unexpected. She came all by herself and exchanged information with strangers they had only known for two days.

"I have told your grandma about most of the things. The rest are some details. Maybe you will be disappointed." Wu Xiaoxie said.

A sly smile flashed in Huo Xiuxiu's eyes, she pointed at her brother and said, "Why don't we start with him first? I'll tell you about him, and you tell me about the ancient tomb on the snow mountain you mentioned."
Wu Xiaoxie agreed. These details were deeply engraved in his mind, and he also told Huo Xiuxiu some of his speculations.

When talking about how they were trapped in the treasure room by a kid and found several mummies, Huo Xiuxiu's eyes flashed.

Then he rolled his eyes and expressed doubt, "Brother Wu Xie, haven't you tried to find a way to determine the identities of those mummies?"…

Wu Xiaoxie was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't be sure. Except for one person who was recognized by the guide based on the signs, the faces of several other people were dehydrated and shrunk to the point of being disfigured."

Huo Xiuxiu nodded, thoughtfully, "That's it... Brother Wu Xie, please continue talking."

It took more than half an hour for Wu Xiaoxie to finish telling the details of Yunding Tiangong.

Huo Xiuxiu listened very carefully. After listening for a long time, she didn't say anything. She lowered her head, as if she was deep in thought.

The fat man called her twice, but when she still didn't respond, he pinched a peanut and threw it at her, "Hey! Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Huo Xiuxiu, who was sitting quietly, suddenly moved sideways and avoided the peanut.

The fat man exclaimed, "Little girl, you're pretty good at it."

Huo Xiuxiu came back to her senses from the stiff sitting just now and looked at the oily peanuts falling behind the bench with a stinky face

He patted his sleeves and glared at the fat man, "It's a good thing you didn't throw it on my clothes, otherwise I would have to pay for it."

After speaking, he looked at the younger brother and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this antique brother to be so powerful. No wonder my grandma had to kneel to him. Before, I felt that I was at a disadvantage for no reason, but now it doesn't matter.

Loss."

Wu Xiaoxie asked her what inspiration she had after listening.

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head, "It's very confusing. I thought of something, but I can't connect it for the time being."

The fat man sipped his wine and urged her, "It's your turn."

"Don't push me, I won't default on my debt." Huo Xiuxiu said, "I have to think carefully about how to say it. Let's start with a nightmare."

Huo Xiuxiu also described it very carefully and spent a lot of time.

Although it sounds simple, there is something strangely abnormal about the whole thing.

To sum up, Huo Xiuxiu once saw her grandma hanging on the bed frame above the bed in a strange posture, with her eyes rolled white and her hair disheveled, but she seemed to be in a deep sleep.

And he muttered "There is no time" in his mouth like he was dreaming.

Wu Xiaoxie's hands and feet felt cold when he heard this, because he had heard this sentence before.

Just after the little brother came out of the meteor cave in the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West, he kept muttering the words "no time" as if in a daze.

But after regaining consciousness, the little brother had zero memory of this murmuring.

"Did your grandma say anything else?" Wu Xiaoxie asked anxiously.

Huo Xiuxiu was a little surprised by his reaction, but she still shook her head and said, "No, I just kept repeating this sentence."

"And later grandma told me that the reason why she hung it on the bed frame was actually practicing Qigong."

"Grandma said that this is a way for Huo women to practice soft kung fu. They have to sleep with their bones hanging to achieve maximum flexibility. She has been sleeping like this since she was a girl at the age of nineteen, resulting in bone spurs in many places on her body. Only

It won’t hurt if you hang it.”

The fat man's mind was spinning uncontrollably, "Holy crap, your grandpa must have been practicing for a long time before the wedding."

Huo Xiuxiu rolled her eyes, ignored him, and continued to talk to Wu Xiaoxie: "I once sneaked into my grandma's house and found some very special videos inside."

As soon as he heard the word "video", Wu Xiaoxie's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, "What video?"…

Huo Xiuxiu lowered her voice, with a look of unconcealable panic, "I saw a lot of people crawling on the ground."

"In the photo of Xisha, there are several people crawling on the ground, as if they have become soulless puppets, repeating the crawling action mechanically."

"I saw Chen Wenjin, Li Sidi, and several others, but not my aunt and this antique brother." Huo Xiuxiu said, "I don't know if they have become the forbidden women you mentioned before, but

Their behavior is obviously abnormal."

Wu Xiaoxie was surprised, "No Huo Ling?"

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head, "No, but it seems that my aunt eventually became like that."

The fat man couldn't help but interjected: "Didn't the eldest sister take us to take a mud bath in the swamp outside the Queen Mother's country? Why do you think she has transformed when she was in the Golmud Sanatorium?"

Wu Xiaoxie shook his head, "Probably not. This may be Chen Wenjin's way of trying to leave clues for future generations, or a record to verify speculation."

"So, there is only one truth." Zhang Zhuxun spoke out, attracting everyone's attention. He said, "That is, the videos you have watched were selected by others, and you thought they were watertight.

In fact, it was all carried out under the nose of your grandma."

Huo Xiuxiu was a little unconvinced, "You look down on me too much!"

Just after she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, "No, you mean, the information I found now was actually revealed to me intentionally by my grandma?"

Wu Xiaoxie is very familiar with this method of tricking his nephew like squeezing out toothpaste. "It's very possible. How old were you when the video tape was discovered? How could you possibly be able to fight against your grandma?"

Huo Xiuxiu was discouraged, "Grandma, why would she do this?"

Zhang Zhuxun held his chin with one hand and groaned, "This is probably some kind of strange hobby of the elders of the Nine Sects? They dig holes for their own children and grandchildren."

The corner of Huo Xiuxiu's mouth twitched, "When you say that, why do I suddenly feel a little pitiful?"

After he finished, he turned around to look at Wu Xiaoxie, and his frowning eyebrows immediately relaxed, "Haha, there is another person here who has the same problem as me."

Wu Xiaoxie looked at her speechlessly, "Little girl, if you poke people's wounds like this, you'll be beaten, okay?"

Huo Xiuxiu was not afraid of him at all. She laughed a few times and waved her hands, "Let's not talk about this first. Let's talk about some of my subsequent discoveries."

Huo Xiuxiu began to narrate again.

To put it simply, she once found some very special letters under her grandma’s bookcase.

I originally thought it would be a love letter or something, but I opened it with the curiosity of a little kid discovering my parents' secrets. I found that it contained some forms for receiving goods.

The time above is from 1999. Every year in the second half of March, Mrs. Huo will receive a notice to pick up the package.

Because of the special status of the Huo family, the parcels and mail received every year are opened and inspected, and records are filled in.

The envelopes Huo Xiuxiu found contained the cargo registration forms that were in the package at that time.

There are only three words "videotape" written on the entire form....

This undoubtedly aroused her curiosity even more, so she went to her grandma's house several times. The hard work paid off, and she finally found the video tapes in a hole in the wall behind the closet.

Because she was really curious about the contents of the videotape, Huo Xiuxiu secretly saved her pocket money and bought a recorder. When her grandma went out to discuss business, she burned the contents of the videotape, and then sneaked to her classmate's house to read the contents.
p>

When she first saw the contents, she was frightened. She was in panic for a month, but her inner anxiety finally calmed down.

In Fatty's terms, Huo Xiuxiu's character is actually very similar to that of Wu Xie in the early days. When encountering something strange, he will scratch his head and have to figure it out.

Under the influence of Mrs. Huo, Huo Xiuxiu, who was only a teenager, had already awakened the potential of the little fox.

She knew that her grandma had a big secret hidden in her heart, which might be related to the whisper in that nightmare, so she began to try to investigate the matter.

She used a very clever but highly risky method, which was to imitate her grandma's handwriting and write letters to the addresses in those old letters one by one.

In this way, after insisting on guarding the mailbox for five months, she finally received a special letter that made her eyes light up.

There was only one simple sentence in the letter, "Don't mention old things again."

The address of the letter is in Beijing, an antique shop in Liulichang.

Huo Xiuxiu searched for it non-stop. When she got there, she discovered that the owner of the shop was a skinny old man with a big gold tooth in his mouth when he smiled widely.

"Originally he refused to admit it, but it happened that at the end of the year, there was a problem with a batch of his goods passing through customs. I took advantage of his weakness and made a deal with him." Huo Xiuxiu was a little proud, "If no one helped him

If he deals with it, his entire net worth will have to be paid, and he might even end up in jail."

Jin Wantang hesitated for a long time, and finally told Huo Xiuxiu the whole thing when she called her again.

"Jin Wantang said that it was the largest tomb robbery in history. The elites of the entire Nine Sects were involved in it. It was an unprecedented joint effort."

"But later he was kicked out of the team because he was greedy and stole the things those people excavated."

"But before he was kicked out, he was taken to see a leader by those people. The people of Jiumen were very respectful to the leader, and the man was very young, and he had a very special thing about him.

The two fingers on his right hand are extremely long."

When Huo Xiuxiu said this, she glanced at her younger brother subconsciously, and then continued: "In the beginning, Jin Wantang planned to resist.

Unexpectedly, the leader only used two very long fingers to press his forehead, and he almost fainted from the pain."

The reason why he didn't faint was actually because the leader didn't let him faint.

Jin Wantang stole two pieces of Luhuang silk in total, hiding one in his sleeve and one in the insole of his shoe. In the end, he was handed over and Huo Xiangu interceded with him, thus saving his life.
p>

In fact, the reason is that those people's own system was in a mess at that time, and they had no time to pay attention to Jin Wantang, because many people in the team had died at that time, and the number was increasing all the time.

Everyone is like a dynamite barrel filled with gunpowder, waiting for a spiritual point to explode.

After Jin Wantang was kicked out, he returned to the capital and stayed at home in fear for several months. After that, he heard some rumors one after another, saying that after he left, something big happened on the cliff. The old nine sect suffered numerous casualties and was seriously injured.

.

And since then, the position of Laojiumen in the world has begun to be purged. It seems that there is a hidden force behind the scenes, leading them to kill each other.
