In front of the tunnel, on the smooth ground, stood half a mummy, with its lower body missing, like a half-length sculpture.
I took a deep breath and took two steps forward with courage. It turned out that there was a hole in the ground. The so-called half body was half stuck in the cave. "Xiangyu, don't be afraid, half of his body is stuck in the cave."
In a cave above ground."
The skin of the corpse was close to bronze, and the facial features were twisted together. It must have been in extreme pain before death. The hollow eyes were raised upward, the hands were clenched into fists, and the abdomen was stuck in the cave. It was obvious that he was very unwilling to die.
Xiangyu had calmed down, but she still didn't dare to look at the mummy and stood tremblingly behind Zhang Jisheng.
"Jisheng," I looked at the mummy on the ground, and a chill suddenly ran down my spine, "do you feel that this mummy has some similarities with the professor between its features and eyes?"
My words made Xiangyu, who had just calmed down, suddenly change his face and take another step back.
Zhang Jisheng took a step forward, squatted down not far from the mummy, looked straight at him for a long time, and said in a heavy tone: "Zhou Cang, when you say it like this, it seems to be a bit similar.
Even though he has become a mummy, he still looks a bit similar. If he were a living person, he would definitely look very similar. Could he be the professor's brother?"
When the professor's brother was mentioned, Zhang Jisheng suddenly stopped talking, and even Xiang Yu opened his eyes wide. We must have all thought that Chen Mo's father was the professor's brother.
"There is a bag next to him. Let's open it to see if there is anything to prove his identity." Zhang Jisheng said, stood up, moved a step forward, and used his feet to hook the bag next to the mummy.
In the backpack were some dry food and water bottles, as well as short sabers, ropes and other things similar to our equipment. These were of little significance to us, so Zhang Jisheng opened a small grid on the outside of the backpack. This grid
There is an ID card and a small notebook inside.
"Sure enough, there is an ID card. Let's see who it is." Zhang Jisheng took out the ID card, glanced at it, threw it on the ground, and crawled back several steps with a look of horror on his face.
looking at me.
An ominous premonition flashed through my mind, so I anxiously picked up the ID card on the ground and looked at it carefully under the light of the xenon lamp.
However, the fonts and images above were like a bolt from the blue, instantly petrifying me in place——
Name: Zhou Cang
Gender: Male
Nationality: Han
Born: February 5, 1989
Address: Chaodong District, Haiyang City, Guangdong Province…
The photo on the ID card that looked exactly like me was smiling strangely at me.
Xiangyu and the old man probably saw the difference in our expressions, so they both came over to take a look.
"Zhou Cang, why is your ID card in this mummy's backpack?" Xiangyu looked at me with a look of fear and surprise, then looked at the mummy on the ground, and then stepped back.
Go to Zhang Jisheng's position.
The old man didn't say anything, he just looked at me coldly, and then retreated to Xiangyu's camp.
Zhang Jisheng and the other three looked at me eagerly, probably wanting me to give a reasonable explanation. However, at this moment, my throat seemed to be locked by the madness in my heart, and I couldn't say any words at all.
I rummaged through the mummy's bag and found a small notebook.
With trembling hands, I flipped through the pages quickly.
This is a simple diary. Each entry is very short. The diary is written from the first day when I entered Wawu Mountain. Among them, the most shocking thing to me is——
I am almost certain that this diary was written by me, because the handwriting on it is exactly the same as mine.
Even at the end of each diary entry, there will be a few words with water stains. This is because my hands become sweaty after holding the pen for a long time.
"Tonight, June 15, 2011, we stayed in a deserted village. Grandpa and grandma seemed to have a little argument. Both of them were unhappy. I couldn't interrupt, so I had to fall asleep early. I really hope that this trip to Wawu Mountain
Action can fulfill everyone’s wishes.”
"On June 16, 2011, we braved the heavy fog to enter the Lost Souls. We got lost in the Lost Souls and had to spend the night in the woods. The Lost Souls are even more weird at night. I hope we can spend the night safely."
"On June 17, 2011, we finally got out of the Lost City, but we encountered something terrible again. I dare to conclude that this is definitely not something that human beings can do. The omnipotent nature."
"June 18, 2011, today we still haven't found the ancient temple. Some people in the team are already doubting whether the ancient temple exists. Grandpa seems to have been convincing grandma to give up looking for the ancient temple. However, grandma has always insisted that the ancient temple exists.
of."
"On June 19, 2011, there were only more than three days left until midnight on this year's summer solstice. However, we still didn't find the ancient temple, and everyone was very nervous. Today, I suddenly found that something was wrong with some people in the team. I hope it was me.
It’s an illusion.”
"On June 20, 2011, we finally discovered the ancient ancestral temple by accident. However, this ancestral hall was so weird, so weird. We almost searched the ancestral hall and couldn't find the black jade. Everyone was confused.
Disappointed."
"On June 21, 2011, I finally knew what the truth was, but I couldn't say. Black Jade does not belong to us, but we belong to Black Jade. This is too scary."
The handwriting of this last article was very sloppy, as if it had been written in a hurry. After reading it, I closed the book heavily and stood there with my eyes open, and the sweat from my armpits was slowly sliding down.
Have I ever been to Wawu Mountain? Why don’t I have any memory of Wawu Mountain in my memory? Or someone used advanced medical methods to erase all that memory of mine.
At that time, my grandfather told the mysterious man in his study that he had already lost his wife and son, and he did not want to get involved with his grandson again. So I always thought that the people talking to him in his study were my classmates. In fact, at that time, in Zhou
There is another person in our old house that I have ignored from the beginning, and that is grandma.
Judging from the contents recorded in this diary, grandma should have played a huge role in this matter.
What does she want to do? What is the relationship between her tribe and this ancient temple? What is the connection with Black Jade? In the words of her grandfather, she wants to find Black Jade at the expense of everyone in the Zhou family, including herself.
, find the truth behind Black Jade.
Is there any connection between black jade and the summer solstice? Did the professor discover something before he was alive, so he chose to be buried on the summer solstice?
Where is Chen Mo now, and how much truth does he know?
"Zhou Cang, are you okay? What is going on? As long as you are willing to speak out, we can face it together with you." Xiangyu broke the silence. She walked to my side and pulled out my hand.
He read the book in his hand carefully, then looked at me and said.
Her tone was very calm, but I could still hear the condemnation in it.
"I don't know, maybe I have really been here, but I have forgotten it." I suddenly felt a little sour in my heart. I wonder if there will be more accidents in this messy life in the future, which I can't bear.
accident.
Although there was a hint of disappointment on Xiangyu's face, her higher education still allowed her to comfort me with a few words.
I could hear the unfamiliar elements in it, and what I saw in front of me left a deep gap between me and her, and between me and Zhang Jisheng.
Suddenly, the old man seemed to have thought of something, his whole body trembled, and he came closer to me, then stared at me for a long time, then squatted down and looked at the mummy on the ground for a while, then took a few steps back and said, "Should I?"
