What Mustache handed me was a silver medal that was two fingers wide and three fingers long. The silver medal had been carefully cleaned by him. A small hole was drilled at the top of the medal so that it could be worn as a necklace with a string. The silver medal had a slight color.
It's a little black, but you can clearly see the pattern on it. On the front of the brand is a tiger descending from a mountain, and on the back is the word "WEI".
When I received the silver medal, I felt shocked. I knew this brand because the old man also had the same one.
The Wei family of Li Lingshan used to be a prominent family. Although their profession was not honorable, the family had a long history. The Wei family has always maintained a tradition. When each direct descendant of the Wei family becomes an adult, he or she will be responsible for the affairs of the family.
The elder will give him a Huwei card. This silver medal is a symbol of the family. From the moment it is obtained, the holder must carry it for life. If it is lost or given to others, he will be severely punished. There is a kind of card
The meaning of death is the death of people.
This kind of Tiger Power Silver Medal is not only a personal symbol of the members of the Wei family, but also a symbol of the family. The old man's generation was probably the most prosperous period of the Wei family. The Tiger Power Card was also very useful. As long as it was shown, almost nothing could be done around Li Lingshan.
Even if you leave Li Ling and go to some nearby places, others will give you some face when they see the Huwei card.
Of course, a big tree attracts wind. Many people have imitated this kind of silver medal and wore it to pretend to be the Wei family. If nothing happens, the Wei family will not have the time to pursue it. Once it gets out of hand, the imitation silver medal will be completely exposed. Because the real thing is
The Huwei brand is very delicately cast, and the brand is hollow and can be opened. Inside is engraved the name and birth date of the card holder. Most importantly, there is also a Chinese character that plays a role. This character is the person in charge of the family.
Personally selected, each word corresponds to one person, and it is impossible for outsiders to know.
The Wei family was defeated, but the old man wore his Huwei card all year round. Originally, he wanted to cast one for me, but with the development of the times, there is really no point in doing these old-fashioned things, so my Huwei card
The card was not cast in the end, and the old man became the last person in the Wei family to wear the Huwei card.
This is an iron rule of the Wei family that the cards belong to the people. If Xiaozi picked up this Huwei card on the edge of the cliff, it means that the original owner of this card must be in trouble.
"I once told you that Cao Zhen lied."
I was holding the Huwei card and was a little at a loss. Was Cao Shi really lying to me? What was he hiding? There is no doubt that someone from the Wei family once set foot in this old forest and died here.
Of the nine Wei Changkong brothers, at least four died in this incident...
The words that Xiao Hui once said echoed in my ears, and I subconsciously went to pry the Huwei brand. The brand had been stored in the open air for so many years, and the mechanism for opening and closing the silver medal had become ineffective. I spent a lot of effort to pry the brand open.
, the interior of the silver medal is as bright as new, with two lines of small characters clearly cast on it.
When I saw this name, my guess was confirmed once again. Except for Qi Bo, I have never seen any of the old man's brothers, but I know that the names of the nine brothers of the Wei family are Jianren.
The nine characters of Yi, Li, Zhi, Xin, An, Tai, Kong and Ming are arranged in this order.
Wei Changren, this is the old man’s eldest brother.
I gently closed the silver medal. Some of the scattered rumors about this matter that I had heard before seemed to be true. Not only did this matter involve many people, but it also spanned a long time.
"Before you were pushed down, I looked carefully and found that there was nothing else on the edge of the cliff except the Huwei Card. However, someone from the Wei family must have died here."
I could no longer deny Mustache's point of view, so I carefully put the Huwei card away.
"There is still a long way to go. As long as you are careful, there should be no big problems." Mustache ended the conversation and did not mention the Huwei card again.
I don’t know if there will be any problems, but what happened before has scared me. There is only one step away between life and death, which is so close that people can’t believe it. But Mustache said, sometimes, living is not always possible.
It's much better than death. For example, Han Yunzhou will never have troubles again. Human beings will have one day. This is the case for traffickers and soldiers, and the same is true for emperors and generals.
The marching speed of the team has accelerated a lot, which makes it difficult for strong people like Liang Zi and Da Zuo. After Lao Gong died, my attention was transferred to Huai Qinglin and Jiang Chen, and Huai
Qinglin and Qinglin had had some contact, but this Jiang Chen was like a cloud that no one could see through. He didn’t talk to anyone, and he never talked. He just followed the team silently.
If you are not careful, you will ignore this person.
Is this person reliable?
Anyway, I was always on the road, so I didn’t pay attention to the time. We passed through a large dense forest, and the large canyon that ran from east to west was cut off by a mountain, which opened a gap for us to pass through the canyon.
.
We walked very smoothly from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain and crossed the grand canyon. Apart from consuming a lot of energy, the situation was generally good. After reaching the foot of the mountain, we saw the dense forest in front again, but Mustache said that as long as we passed
In the woods, the destination is not far away.
This forest is not big, so we walked through it in less than a day. Mustache was very strict along the way, and it was only then that he told us that although the destination was close at hand, what we had to do was
There are still many things to do.
On the map left by Lu Xiuhuang, the route is clearly marked, but the end point of the route is a circle. In other words, if the thing called the artifact in the parchment book is really still there,
It is also within the range outlined by this circle. The circle is very small on the map, but if you really have to find it manually, it will definitely be an extremely difficult task to complete.
"If this circle were enlarged to a larger scale, it would probably have a diameter of two kilometers. We still have so many people and sufficient supplies, so we should be able to search it all over the place."
"That's so damn easy." Ma Dad scoffed at this statement after scanning the surrounding area. It was not easy to find something that was hidden somewhere in a forest two kilometers away.
But I have come this far and cannot give up halfway. And I always hold great hope for Huaiqinglin. His eyes are very powerful and he can indeed see many things that ordinary people cannot see.
The team immediately started searching together in this circle with a diameter of two kilometers. This forest did not seem to be much different from the forest we had walked through before, except that there were trees. When we had walked less than a mile, the forest changed.
The trees were somewhat sparse, and a tall metasequoia appeared. This kind of tree is rare in the forest, and they all grow alone, with large distances between them.
Huaiqinglin, who was walking next to Mustache, glanced at the big trees in front of him, and his steps suddenly slowed down. He didn't speak, but everyone behind him knew that he must have seen something, and several people looked up in unison.
, and immediately, my scalp started to tingle.
Hanging on the big tree in front of us was a mummy that we had seen before. It was swinging from side to side with the wind in the forest, looking down at us from a height unwillingly as if it was still alive.
At this time, I was very suspicious of the origin of these mummies. Could it be that they were people who came to Kaiyang with their uncle? Because they were misfortune in the forest, the companions of the team had no choice but to leave them behind, just like Han Yunzhou. But.
This way of handling the corpse felt very strange, and I vaguely felt that this mummy was acting as a road sign.
We no longer dared to touch this weird mummy and walked away around the big tree. The monk and Dazuo Liangzi were both holding guns, and the mustache was holding the alloy pipe in his hand.
The team had no set goal and could only walk roughly within this range at the beginning. When we reached the center of the circle, some major changes occurred in the surrounding terrain. The trees were obviously getting sparser.
, and Huaiqinglin and Xiaozi, who were walking at the front, stopped again.
From my position, I can probably see the scene in front of me more clearly. About less than a hundred meters away from us, all the trees have disappeared and there is a very small small pool.
This small pool has dried up and is about to bottom out. It is very strange. Because there is no surface water source at this location in the forest. Logically speaking, there should not be a pool. And this round small pool always gives people this feeling.
, it seemed to have been smashed out of the ground by a huge fist.
Such a pool can only store some rainwater. Maybe it hasn't rained in the forest for a long time, and the water in the pool has dried up, leaving only a layer of black mud at the bottom of the pool and turbid water less than a foot deep.
Huaiqinglin played a huge role at this time. We all waited quietly behind us, leaving him to watch by the pool. With the pool dry like this, it is impossible to have fish. At most, there will only be some loaches and eels. But
The small pool was completely silent, with no sign of life.
Huaiqinglin fell completely silent, just like he did outside the mandala of Bantuo Ancient City. I don't know why his glasses can see through things that others can't, but he may be having a hard time seeing, and there is a slight ache on his forehead.
Beads of sweat broke out.
About half an hour later, Huaiqinglin's hands suddenly shook like an electric shock, his eyes opened instantly, and an indescribable expression appeared on his face.
I can't describe his expression, but it seems to be mixed with a little panic. This is inconsistent with Huaiqinglin's character. In my impression, he has always been as calm and indifferent as a mustache, if it is not very scary.
, will not make him have such an expression.
I immediately turned my attention to the silent little pool, my Adam's apple squirmed with difficulty, and I swallowed.
What is in this small pool that is about to dry up? It actually caused people like Huaiqing Lin to panic.
