After the second uncle recorded some doubts about the map, he took poison and committed suicide. When the servants entered the study early the next morning, they found that the second uncle had died, and it was horrifying to see, with blood all over his body.
It seems that although the second uncle took the poison, he could not escape the final madness.
The servants were all covered in blood. The second uncle had always been very kind to them. Of course he was very sad when something happened. He cried and ran to report the news to the old man. It was at that time that A Lan saw him. At that time, A Lan
I thought that the second uncle didn't come back and only his subordinates came back.
When the old man heard the news, he almost couldn't stand still. After calming down, he announced that he was preparing for the funeral. After everything was taken care of, the old man took all the things belonging to his second uncle to the darkroom in his study.
The old man was exhausted, and the boss couldn't do anything except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He sighed and had no choice but to write a will and hand over the business to Alan.
Because of his second uncle's incident, the old man fell ill. Before his death, he explained all the matters, and of course he also told A-Lan about the ancient tomb.
"This is what happened. This is what is recorded in the notes. Although they entered the ancient tomb, an accident happened before they reached the main hall." A Lan finally told the Master the whole story.
"It turns out that he came to me for the second child. I was not in Tongzhou at that time. If I were there, I might be able to control the second child's condition, but I'm not sure about the recovery. But I can be sure that at least the immortal will not die so quickly.
Just left." Master said sadly.
"Master, second uncle, is it really because of those bugs?" A Lan asked in confusion.
The master thought for a while and said: "Those bugs are poison. Someone put the poison in the coffin to lure greedy people."
"Why do you do this? What secrets are hidden in this ancient tomb? Why did the notes left by my second uncle repeatedly mention that you must not be curious about the ancient tomb? I know that my second uncle values friendship, and he must be very
He felt guilty that he had caused those brothers to suffer. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to die in this way." A Lan said.
"You probably don't want the secret of the ancient tomb to be spread, so you put poisonous insects in the coffin at the door. People who are poisoned can't leave the ancient tomb, so this secret will be kept forever.
"The master said openly.
"But, are those people still alive?" Alan asked doubtfully.
The master looked at Alan and said: "In fact, after being bitten by those poisonous insects, not only the poison but also the corpse poison was taken. In the end, as your second uncle wrote, he was unconscious. So, they will
...It sounds cruel, but these are facts. No one knows the secrets in the ancient tomb. You may not know that Wu Zun doesn’t even know that Fengtian’s subordinates are in the ancient tomb. If it weren’t for the clan leader to cause trouble, I believe
You will never know about it in this life, because the letters and maps left by your ancestors are all placed in the mezzanine of Xianyun Palace. Not even the witch master knows about the box in the mezzanine."
A-Lan was actually a little surprised, because he understood that the Witch Lord had gone to the tomb for the first time, but the treasure map was in the Fengtian Sect, and the Witch Lord had no idea about it.
"Then the second uncle, was he poisoned by poison or corpse poison?" A Lan asked.
The second uncle's situation was somewhat different from those of those people. After those people were bitten by the poisonous insects, they fell ill quickly. However, the second uncle was not the same. After the second uncle came out of the ancient tomb, he first had a high fever, and later he remained unconscious.
.
After the second uncle woke up, his symptoms were actually very similar to those of those people, but not as severe. Later, he took the pills given to grandpa by his master, and the second uncle's condition improved.
The master said: "Actually, if it is true according to what is recorded in the notes, it means that his poison poison and corpse poison were attacked separately, and the two poisons occurred at different times."
Ah Lan understood. If it weren't for this reason, I'm afraid everyone in their group would have stayed in the ancient tomb.
"When I saw the notes, I realized that I had misunderstood and thought that my second uncle had not come back from the ancient tomb at that time. In addition, my father did not care about my second uncle's affairs at all, and my grandfather had another explanation, and no one could
You can't mention your second uncle." Alan said.
"Your father may have told you about the Leng family's burial." Master suddenly said.
"Why did my father suddenly mention the matter of going to the grave? I remember my grandfather had told me many times not to mention the matter of the second uncle's going to the grave." A Lan said.
"He was probably targeted by that woman when he was in Northern Xinjiang. Only your father knows the truth." The master looked at A Lan and said.
"He was targeted by that woman? Shouldn't it be that he brought that woman back because he was lustful?" A Lan said with a slight snort.
"Perhaps when your father was bragging to others, she happened to overhear it. Seeing that your father was a lustful person, he started to do this." The master said.
"Just because of his words, she came back with her father? This is too hasty. This woman seems to be very smart, how could she do such a stupid thing?" A Lan said.
Even if that woman is interested in ancient tombs, she can't just plan to follow her father just because of her father's words, right? Even if it's for the Leng family's business, it's hard to understand. Such an ambitious woman, even if she's hooking up with a woman in the harem.
It's not a problem whether it's a matter of heart or mind.
"When your father mentioned the ancient tomb, she was already interested. After hearing that your father was from the Leng family, she thought that your father was not lying. So, she followed your father all the way back to the Leng family." Master Shigong.
said.
"Did she really go back with her father because of the ancient tomb? However, she never mentioned the matter of the ancient tomb. How many years have passed. If it was because of the matter of the ancient tomb, she wouldn't have left earlier?" Ah Lan was a little confused.
I asked not quite understanding.
"The matter of the ancient tomb cannot be rushed. The old guy knows that the ancestor once stopped the Leng family from going to the ancient tomb. When she followed your father back, no one mentioned the matter about the second child again. I think your father because he has nothing
I know, so I have been trying to muddle through all this time." Master said.
"Mucked through?" A Lan said with a smile after hearing this.
"Why, you don't believe your father?" the master said.
"If father has that intention, he might as well take care of his business." A Lan said.
If it weren't for the old man, he wouldn't have to take care of the business. If it weren't for his father who only knew about romance, he wouldn't have taken over the business so early.
"What are your plans for this matter? Do you want to tell Xi'er?" the master asked.
After all, this was his second uncle's matter. If A Lan had any concerns, of course he couldn't tell Murong Xi and the others.
"Okay, since it has something to do with the ancient tomb, let's tell the saint." Alan said.
"The Saint has sent people to investigate that woman. I believe there will be news soon. Once there is news, we will know who she is," the master said.
"I hope so." Alan didn't hold out much hope.
He would arrange people to do business every year, and he would also use his time to investigate the woman. He just knew that the woman appeared in the brothel and was the number one in the brothel. As expected, his father would disappoint his mother every time, which made him treat his father a little more
of resentment.
"I know your father is disappointed. The Leng family needs you. Don't do anything impulsive." The master said.
"I understand, I'm going back first." A Lan responded.
The master nodded, and after watching Ah Lan off, he quickly went to Murong Xi's place. Ji Limo happened to be there too, so the master told him the whole story.
After hearing this, Ji Limo frowned slightly and said, "Alan's second uncle entered through the entrance of the tree hole. He should have encountered the formation after entering."
"Yes, since he likes to study mechanisms, if there is a mechanism, it is impossible not to discover it. As for the ghost breaking the wall, it is even more impossible. The entrance of the tree cave is the same as the secret cave, and there is a formation inside." Murong Xi
added.
"The coffin is full of poisonous insects, and they are really trying everything they can." Ji Limo said coldly.
"Yes, those corpse bugs have eaten corpses. If they bite a living person, the living person will soon be poisoned. After being poisoned, they will like to eat fresh meat like crazy." Murong Xi said.
"What is there in the ancient tomb that is worthy of such a trap? A Lan's second uncle just entered the ancient tomb. Before he could reach the tomb chamber inside, he ran into trouble and returned to Leng Mansion." Ji Limo asked with some confusion.
road.
"I just want to know if the Taoist priest was in the ancient tomb at that time." Murong Xi said.
"Is the tree hole a convenient entrance for them to enter and stay?" Master asked.
"What are corpse insects?" Feng Mingye asked next.
"Yes, that should be it. This makes sense. Otherwise, there would be no formation in the tree hole, let alone a trap in the inconspicuous tomb. The entrance to the tree hole is the same as the secret
The entrances of the caves are very similar. Moreover, when passing through the secret cave, you may be poisoned by poison if you are not careful." Murong Xi said.
"Because bugs have eaten the carrion of corpses, living people will soon be infected with corpse poison. People who are poisoned will be like those people. A Lan's second uncle is considered to be lucky. After being bitten by a poisonous insect,
There was no poison, but on the way back, the corpse poison gradually invaded. The reason why he was able to regain consciousness was thanks to the pills given by his master. Later, the poison became more and more serious, and he knew that he could not control it, so he had to choose to commit suicide by taking the poison.
"But, what did he see on that scroll that made him feel so moved?" Ji Limo said in confusion.
"The scroll has a map of the ancient tomb, and the entrance to the tree cave is drawn on it. I don't know what A-Lan's second uncle discovered. By the way, there are bloodstains all over the scroll," the master said.
"That should be a reaction to his poison attack, and he just vomited on the scroll." Murong Xi said.
"Could it be that the scroll was stained with blood, so we knew the secret on the scroll?" Master asked.
"That makes sense. Ah Lan's second uncle still discovered something. But did that woman really not ask Ah Lan's father about the ancient tomb?" Murong Xi asked.
"The people who went to investigate didn't mention this when they came back, but I had some suspicions that the woman happened to overhear Allan's father bragging outside. The woman was interested in ancient tombs, so she planned to investigate. I didn't expect it.
What's interesting is that A-Lan's father happens to be the eldest son of the Leng family, and that woman must have known that the Leng family was a family of tomb robbers, so she came back with A-Lan's father later," the master said.
"Perhaps she is waiting for an opportunity. If there is an opportunity, she will act without hesitation." Murong Xi said.
"Did she change her mind? After all, she has a child now, and A-Lan's father treats her like jewels. If there were no treasures, there shouldn't be any impact, right?" Murong Xi suddenly remembered that she already had
