Wu Xie reached out and touched the neck of the man in the coffin, and found a palm-sized half-moon-shaped white jade sign hanging there, so he took it out of the water.
At first glance, there is a majestic fire-walking unicorn engraved on the front, but the details are slightly different from the unicorns on the little brother and wooden fish that Wu Xie has seen.
In fact, only the Kirin tattoos of the successive patriarchs of the Zhang family are the most special. Even if the other Zhang family members belong to the same family, the Kirin tattoos on their bodies will have independent changes in details. Each person's tattoo is unique.
In the past, when he had nothing to do, the fat man had compared the two of them. The younger brother's unicorn eyes had a small unicorn hidden in them, while the wooden fish's eyes were just a blur of flames.
The left front paw of the unicorn on this jade sign is stepping on a round fire hydrangea. The end of the unicorn's eyes are slightly raised, making it look very cold and arrogant, but the direction of its eyes is to the right.
The fat man clicked his tongue and said, "Look at this Qilin. This person was not an easy person to mess with in life. Hey, naive, do you think this jade token seems to be missing something?"
"There should be another half of this thing." Wu Xie turned the jade plaque over to the back, and there was only one line written in small seal script on it, "The sound of the piano moves it."
Wu Xie thought thoughtfully, "The other half of the jade medal should be in the hands of his wife."
"It's a token of love." The fat man beeped softly, "These two Zhang family members are quite romantic. The rules of the Zhang family are so perverted. They couldn't have come here privately."
Wu Xie rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense."
The fat man curled his lips and said, "But where is his wife? Did something happen to her? Otherwise, if she is so loving, she would definitely have to come here to visit her grave on the 15th day of the Qingming Festival to pay incense or something."
Wu Xie didn't answer. He stared at the jade plaque. Suddenly he clasped the edge and twisted it. There was a click and the buckle flicked. The jade plaque actually split into two halves in his hands.
"Hey~" Fatty was startled, "Okay, naive, I found that you have become more and more awesome recently."
There is a very shallow groove inside the jade plaque, which contains a small black and white photo.
Wu Xie took it out carefully and found that it showed a young man and woman. The background of the photo was a simple building, which looked like a temple or an ancient house.
The woman was sitting on a chair, wearing an elegant cheongsam and a fox fur coat, holding a swaddling baby in her arms.
The man was wearing a long gown and a cotton brocade jacket. He was holding the woman's shoulder with one hand and standing behind her. They were a couple.
The photo is very old, but because it was well preserved, the outline and face of the person on it are still clear. It can be seen that the man in the photo is the one lying in the coffin in front of me, but at that time he had short hair and was wearing
His temperament is very similar to that of an elite who has returned from studying abroad.
There is a line of small words written in the corner of the photo, "Taken in the ancient temple of Beicheng in 1903. It was the middle of winter and there was heavy snow for three days. I took a souvenir with my wife and children when I said goodbye."
The fat man looked at the cold body in the coffin and remained silent for a rare moment.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the quiet space, very light and rhythmic, as if stepping on the hearts of Wu Xie and Wu Xie.
They immediately turned to look at the path they had come in, and found that the strange bugs on the other side of the lake scattered to both sides, as if they had encountered something very scary.
The two of them were wary. As soon as they took out their guns, they saw a slender and graceful black figure walking out of the corner of the mountain wall with a flashlight in hand.
It was a very young woman. She was a little far away. The light and shadow of the lamp in her hand could not illuminate her face. Wu Xie could not see her face clearly. He only saw a long knife with a cold light in her hand.
Threads of blood snaked down the blade and dripped onto the ground.
After she walked past, strange insects swarmed up from behind, covering all the blood stains.
The woman stopped when she reached the lake and looked at Wu Xie and Wu Xie coldly.
Wu Xie and Wu Xie stood frozen on the spot holding guns. The fat man muttered angrily, "What a bad thing. This girl is probably the granddaughter of the coffin man. We were caught as soon as we pried open the coffin of our ancestors."
, I guess I can’t explain it clearly now, I feel like she can fly over and kill us both with one move, what should I do?”
The woman's ear was amazing, and she heard clearly what the fat man said. Looking at Wu Xie and Wu Xie who looked nervous, she suddenly chuckled, and the coldness on her bright face instantly faded away.
It's like a hibiscus blooming, even a slight smile is very beautiful.
Wu Xie was stunned by her smile, and subconsciously smiled back. As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with your hand. Even if you hit him, you have to be gentle.
The fat man was also shaken by this smile. He felt that this person should have a good temper and was a negotiable person, so he tentatively said hello first, "Um, hello, Sister Zhang. We can do this today."
Explained..."
Hearing his address, the woman in black had a strange expression, half-smiling but not smiling. She put away the knife, pointed at the photo in Wu Xie's hand, and said, "You might as well take a closer look."
Wu Xie's eyes moved to the photo, he was suddenly startled, and immediately looked up at the woman in black. His expression gradually turned frightened, and his lips wriggled, "Fat man, it's over. Let's pry open the husband's coffin."
The fat man's words of conversation were stuck in his throat, and his reaction was equally horrified, "What did you say?"
The woman in black squatted down, touched the shore of the lake, picked up a chain, and pulled hard sideways. The lake water suddenly began to churn, and a long and narrow stone path rose from the bottom of the water, leading directly to the bottom of the high platform of the spoon handle.
The woman in black walked slowly from the stone path and stepped onto the high platform step by step.
Wu Xie and Fatty subconsciously retreated to the other side of the coffin and looked at her with a smile, "Hello, Senior Zhang. I offended this junior, but this is really helpless. I hope you can forgive me."
"My name is Zhang Fuyin." The woman in black gently touched the coffin, looking at the person lying quietly in the coffin, with a touch of sadness between her eyebrows, "She is the woman in the photo in your hand, in the coffin
Lying there is my husband, his name is Zhang Longguan, he died a hundred years ago while dealing with this matter."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wu Xie's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but think of Zhang Chuxun who disappeared in the ancient building of the Zhang family.
The Zhang family is indeed powerful, but in the final analysis they are still human beings, and they are inevitably separated by birth, old age, illness and death.
Perhaps because of the relationship between Muyu and his younger brother, he felt an inexplicable affinity for the Zhang family in front of him.
"Wu Xie, I don't know what happened to you, but I know your purpose of coming here. After all, that was what we agreed in advance." Zhang Fuyin raised his eyelids and looked at Wu Xie, and said slowly, "I
I can tell you what happened here, but you cannot open the hidden tomb below."
Made an agreement in advance? Wu Xie felt slightly agitated, with whom? By this we mean Zhang Fuyin with whom?
The fat man interjected: "I would like to ask you...how old are you this year?"
Wu Xie quickly poked him secretly, asking the fat man if he could get to the point of the question.
Zhang Fuyin was not angry, but looked at the two of them funny, "You can take a guess."
The key point that the fat man wants to ask is not his age, but whether this person is related to Muyu. "To be honest, I have known two people from your family before. One of the juniors from the Zhang family looks... related to you and your husband."
They are somewhat similar, so I would like to ask what the name of the child in the photo is."
Zhang Fuyin was startled for a moment, silent for two seconds, and then said: "His talent is not enough for the elders in the clan to keep an eye on him at any time. In order to prevent him from making the same mistakes as Longguan and I, I asked someone to help him before coming here.
He was sent overseas, and if nothing unexpected happened later, his name should be Zhang Haisi."
"Have you never seen him again?" Wu Xie frowned slightly. The name Muyu mentioned as his father was not Zhang Haisi.
"I've seen it," Zhang Fuyin said, "When he came of age, he came here to find me and his father, and finally took away his father's tomb."
"As for the junior Zhang family you are talking about, I have never seen him, but if you say he has similar facial features, maybe he is the child of Xiao Si later."
Wu Xie said: "But his father seems to be named Zhang Menyu."
Zhang Fuyin looked confused, as if he had thought of something, and murmured, "Zhang Menyu?"
She pulled out the other half of the jade plaque from her collar and turned it over to the reverse side. There was also a sentence written on it, "The wind comes from Longguan".
"The sound of the piano is stirring, and the wind is coming from Longguan." A sigh flashed through her eyes, "Actually, there are two more sentences behind it, the waves of the boat are touching the sea temple, and the pavilion is shaking to hear the tide and rain."
The fat man spoke quickly and said directly, "So you are actually Grandma Yu!"
The veins on Zhang Fuyin's forehead twitched, and he looked at the fat man with an unkind look, "Grandma?"
The fat man quickly tried to explain himself, "It was a slip of the tongue, but if our previous inferences are correct, you, senior, should be a relative of our little brother Zhang, who is also a member of the overseas Zhang family."
"That's all." Zhang Fuyin sighed and had no intention of arguing with him. She had stayed here for many years just to hold on to her obsession and avoid the frightening Zhang family.
"Come with me." Zhang Fuyin walked towards the passage behind the high platform, "Everything you want to know is here."
Wu Xie and Wu Xie looked at each other, bowed to the corpse in the coffin, and then followed Zhang Fuyin.
After walking for a stick of incense, the three of them arrived at a cave. The mountain walls here were all covered with large murals carved on them.
Zhang Fuyin told the two of them that these were just a drop in the bucket of the Changsheng Kingdom where the Gu King was located.
The main content of the mural is briefly summarized here. It has nothing to do with the Yongning chieftain’s family, but an isolated Mosuo tribe.
The population of that tribe is very mixed, but one common problem is that the average life expectancy is very short, and most people suffer from many weird diseases throughout their lives, and only a small number of people are normal.
Because of the isolation from the outside world, the reproduction among humans in that place was chaotic, which resulted in the union of many close relatives and the birth of children with many genetic mutations and genetic diseases.
The Gu King in the previous story was the ultimate product.
The person who caused all this was a person Wu Xie was very familiar with - Wang Zanghai.
In other words, this so-called tribe is actually a giant experimental site controlled by Wang Zanghai.
Wang Zanghai discovered the Zhang family, which could live for more than a hundred years, and learned the secret of intermarriage within the Zhang family, so he personally created such a testing ground that was a copy-and-paste version of the Western Queen's Mother Kingdom, only to produce short-lived monsters one after another.
Wang Zanghai chose this place because it is located at the intersection of the main dragon and the middle dragon in the Chinese Dragon Vein.
There were almost no big problems with Wu Xie's previous speculations. Almost all the people of the Changsheng Kingdom established by Wang Zanghai were deformed. Granny Monkey was the last survivor of the Changsheng Kingdom that still exists in the world.
The piece at the end of the mural is divided into two obvious parts: the upper and lower parts. The upper half of the painting is full of clouds. There are powerful and tall immortals coming from the top of the clouds carrying unicorns to bring blessings to the people below and free them from the sea of suffering.
.
"So, those stone monkey guide figurines in the Snake Tower are actually guiding the Zhang family." Wu Xie said, "People in the Changsheng Kingdom regard the Zhang family as gods."
"To be more precise, it was Zhang Qiling of that era." Zhang Fuyin said.
"Since senior said that Wang Zanghai created a copy-and-paste version of the Western Queen's Mother Kingdom here, then the things in the hidden tomb below are actually related to meteorite jade?" Wu Xie hit the point straight to the point.
"What did King Gu become like in the end?" Wu Xie looked straight at Zhang Fuyin, not missing the change in expression on her face.
However, Zhang Fuyin had expected that he would guess it, and said calmly: "He was created by Wang Zanghai into a monster that cannot be described in words. It is indestructible and indestructible. Although Longguan killed it, its consciousness is still there."
Alive."
"Longguan was controlled by that consciousness and killed his companions. By the time I arrived, it was already too late. In order to avoid causing a greater disaster, he finally trapped himself with the Gu King.
, blew up the tomb.”
"It wasn't until twenty years later that Zhang Qiling brought Zhang Hai Temple here and brought out the bones of Longguan. However, due to the influence of King Gu, the bones of Longguan remained unchanged."
It was as if he was just sleeping. Therefore, Zhang Fuyin was reluctant to destroy his body, so Zhang Qiling and the others only took away his left hand.
Wu Xie was shocked, "What on earth is that Gu King? Two Zhang Qiling failed to get rid of it!"
Zhang Fuyin said softly: "Because its source will always exist, consciousness will never dissipate."
"It"! "It" again, this thing is everywhere.
"What does all this have to do with the lotus and scorpion totem?" Wu Xie asked the last question.
Zhang Fuyin told him that the scorpion totem actually has no substantial relationship with this place, but it is related to an ultimate truth. No one knows what this truth is specifically, except Zhang Qiling.
It's already the third day since I came out of the dark cave.
Wu Xie and others met with Nie Xiaoba and others, and Zhang Fuyin hid in the darkness again.
"Little Third Master, I estimate that Wang Baichuan and Chen Yaxiang have already taken the bait." Nie Xiaoba said solemnly.
Wu Xie nodded lightly, "Then let's go according to the plan we made before."
It's time to clear some people out.
