Tang Sancheng, who was pinched for no reason, jumped up: "You are happy, pinch yourself, why are you pinching me?"
"Isn't it you who pinches yourself and hurts?" Cong Yang said with a playful smile: "Okay, let's go, this smell is definitely not wrong."
Cong Yang walked excitedly at the front. There was a very narrow mountain road here. Although there were still weeds on it, it seemed that someone had cultivated it before, but it had been abandoned over the years. Tang Sancheng followed behind Cong Yang, touching
Looking at the place where he was pinched just now, he greeted Cong Yang twice in his mind, but when he saw the hole covered by vines, Tang San successfully put aside his previous complaints and couldn't wait to go in to find out.
.
Cong Yang was the first to go in, and immediately followed the smell to find it. As he walked, he muttered: "If I still can't hit it this time, I will jump from here!"
Afterwards, Cong Yang's heart really skipped a beat. The more harsh the words were, the greater the risk. When he walked four or five meters in and found no corpses, Cong Yang had a sad face. Fortunately, Xiaoshan had sharp eyes and saw
He saw a hand bone protruding from behind a stone: "Look, there!"
Cong Yang’s face changed drastically: ‘I knew it was right.”
When the two brothers found the corpse, it was in a sitting position. It must have been moved later in order to remove the things under the corpse. As the group approached, Bai Yi first said: "Judging from the development of the bones, it is an adult."
The male, the degree of decomposition is quite high, it seems that he has been dead for a long time."
Fu Yu suddenly squatted down, picked up a branch and moved the man's throat bone: "He was poisoned to death."
"How do you know?" Shen Bing asked curiously: "People are like this."
"The throat bone is black." Fu Yu said: "This is the most typical characteristic. He cannot commit suicide. A person who wants to commit suicide also tries every means to hide some ancient coins. This is unreasonable. It seems that he
I was also surprised, so I made an impromptu decision."
Bai Yi saw the scattered objects the brothers mentioned. Apart from what they mentioned, there was also a kettle scattered on the ground. This was a military kettle. It had been left here for a long time and was already a little rusty. Bai Yi
After unscrewing the lid of the kettle, Cong Yang frowned: "It tastes so sour!"
Bai Yi smiled: "If it is poisoned, there is only water or food. It seems that he may have companions who come out to fight. There are almost no people fighting alone, no matter how small it is, there are two people."
"Internal strife?" Shen Bing said: "It's better for us. We never have to worry about being stabbed from behind."
Liu Zhixi kept staring at the skeleton in a daze. Tang Sancheng asked him: "What's wrong? What's so good about this skeleton?"
"No, I thought of something." Liu Zhixi said: "You must not know, right? In the late 1990s, there used to be a famous tomb robber. Of course, that was after you. At that time, he
He even robbed ancient tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and he was never caught."
"Then how do you know it was the same person who did it?" Xiaoshan said.
"This man is too arrogant." Liu Zhixi said: "He said that he is a descendant of Sang Jiu Ming. This Sang Jiu Ming was also a powerful figure. During the Qing Dynasty, he was ordered to rob tombs."
Sang Jiu Ming! Bai Yi said: "I heard my master mention this man. The underground tomb we discovered in Changbai Mountain is related to him. He is indeed a capable person."
"Yes, this man was very ostentatious under the banner of Sang Jiu Ming. The police were furious and issued a reward for his arrest, but nothing was found. In the 1990s, rumors were flying all over the sky that this man could fly over walls and walls, and some people said that he could walk over walls.
He can disguise himself, so the police can't catch him at all." Liu Zhi
Xi said: "This man's surname was also Sang, and his name was Sanjie. I remember it very clearly. After all, the surname Sang was rare. Later, this man suddenly disappeared, like a meteor streaking across the sky, and could never be traced again."
The police tried their best for a while, but when it looked like there was no hope, they left the matter alone."
"After talking for so long, do you think this person is the missing Sang Da?" Cong Yang shook his head repeatedly: "This is just a skeleton. Although it was also thrown upside down, it may not be that Sangjie."
"No, it's more than just that." Liu Zhixi said, "Look at its hand bones, are they different from those of ordinary people?"
"Six fingers." Bai Yi had already discovered it.
Ordinary people have only five fingers on their hands, but some people have six fingers on one hand. If Fu Yu can solve this problem, it is caused by physiological chromosomal mutations, acquired radiation, or genetics.
, but that’s not what Bai Yi was thinking about, but that there was a flaw in Liu Zhixi’s words: “The police couldn’t catch him, how did you know that Sanjie had six fingers?”
Liu Zhixi was stunned on the spot, and he sighed after a long time: "I can't hide in front of you. I know him, and I am very familiar with him. I may have been poisoned by the person who was fighting him.
I just can't get rid of the connection. After he disappeared, I have been looking for him, no less troublesome than the police."
No wonder he has been distracted since just now. Liu Zhixi said: "Also, I recognize this backpack, but I haven't heard him mention it about the map. You said he has companions, but he really doesn't. He is a weird person.
I always fight alone.”
"This is the same as Sang Jiu Ming. Could it be said that all members of the Sang family fight alone?" Bai Yi said.
"How could he die here and be poisoned?" Liu Zhixi had obviously determined that this person was Sanjay. He went to look through the backpack. The backpack had obviously been searched. There were some food residues inside. When he touched it with his hand,
, it broke into pieces, and there was nothing inside. Liu Zhixi was about to put down his backpack when he suddenly remembered that Sanjie had said before that he had made a mezzanine in his backpack just in case. He turned the backpack over and touched it with his hands.
Author: "There really is a mezzanine."
"What is this?" Bai Yi asked.
"Sanjie made the mezzanine." Liu Zhixi said: "Because he is fighting alone, and he once said that he was worried about something happening to him, so he will definitely leave the last message. Do you have a knife?"
"Yes." Xiaoshan took out his knife and handed it over.
Liu Zhixi couldn't wait any longer, so he cut open the interlayer, and an envelope folded in half fell out. When Liu Zhixi saw the oil-paper envelope, he immediately became excited: "It's wrapped in oil paper. It must be well-preserved. Hurry up."
Open it and take a look.”
Bai Yi picked up the envelope and opened it. Inside was a dense letter, written in a hurry. Bai Yi said: "It seems that we thought wrong. He committed suicide because he was in unbearable pain and was alone with his second child."
In this way, he was bitten by Hidden Wing, and he personally put the poison into his kettle in order to die quickly..."
The letter clearly states that he did all this in a very orderly manner. He sealed the ancient coins, took out the contents of the bag, put the envelope in the sandwich, put the poison in the kettle, and drank it.
Go down and sit here quietly waiting to die...
Liu Zhixi felt sad: "It seems that it must have been very painful for him to make this decision."
"Of course, I didn't see what that person was like just now." Shen Bing said: "And the pain lasted for a long time. I think he couldn't bear it anymore, so he ended it on his own. What else is in the letter?
"
"Scales..." Bai Yi's expression became excited: "He found scales under the ground, silver ones."
"The silver scales in Yuan Tiangang's tomb?" Tang Sancheng slapped his thigh vigorously: "It's funny, haha, I really didn't expect that we would have such an opportunity."
"He took away the scales, and then the Hidden Winged Insects ran out..." Bai Yi said: "This is the key, and the origin of this map is also a bit strange. He got it from the antique market.
, I had a little too much luck, but the results were not very good.”
After confirming that this person was Sanjie, the sky outside the cave had already darkened. Bai Yi said, "Get rid of his bones. We have to leave as soon as possible. We have not made any preparations. We cannot spend the night in the mountains today."
They buried Sanjie's bones with stones. Liu Zhixi packed up his belongings and put them together. Finding the bones of his old acquaintance here really made Liu Zhixi depressed. After doing all this, everyone hurried out of the mountain to find themselves.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the car, so I drove to the nearest county town for food and accommodation.
Maybe it was because they had just seen the skeleton. Except for Tang Sancheng, everyone else didn't have a high appetite. Tang Sancheng actually ate quite happily: "This is a good thing. Why are you all frowning? This means that we are one step closer."
Now, scales, maybe they can connect all the things together."
"You have a good idea." Shen Bing was about to ridicule Tang Sancheng when Liu Zhixi's cell phone rang. Everyone looked at each other and fell silent, listening to Liu Zhixi's call.
It turned out that the call was from the person in charge of the relevant department, asking about the progress of the matter. Liu Zhixi prevaricates on the phone for a while, and when he hung up the phone, he said: "It seems that we still have to proceed as planned first, and go to the hexagram first."
Look for Bao Cemetery at the designated place, we can only talk about the scales later."
Hearing this, Bai Yi's heart moved. Fu Yu on the other side helped him pick up the food: "Don't think too much. We will find the answer one by one."
It seemed that Fu Yu had the same idea. Bai Yi nodded: "Come one by one."
In this case, in order for Liu Zhixi to explain to the above, after resting for a night, he went to the place pointed by the hexagram the next day. The hexagram originally pointed to the general direction, but the last time Tang Sancheng came there
, the hexagrams were repeated again, and the hexagrams finally settled on the place in front of them. The local cultural relics bureau received Liu Zhixi and the others, but because it was a small project, they only sent three or four people, three of whom were prepared to do hard work.
The person sent here called himself Xiaowen, saying that his superiors called him that, and expressed his strong admiration for Professor Liu. Next, he had full authority to follow Professor Liu's arrangements. But this was Liu Zhixi's first time here.
