Everything is hopeless. I don't know what was originally hidden in the pit, but it is indeed gone.
We traveled through most of the old forest and even paid the price of two lives, but what we got in the end was this result. At this moment, I suddenly understood the feelings of Xiao Hu and Huaiqing Lin.
"We were misled." Mustache looked back at the small pool: "This stone pit was dug out manually, and it is the location of what Lu Xiuhuang said."
"Didn't you say that Lu Xiuhuang didn't take anything away?"
"Some of the clues we got are wrong and inaccurate, and the problem probably lies with Lu Xiuhuang. He hid some truth from everyone." Mustache pointed to the tree hanging in the distance.
The mummy and the three bones dug up from the center of the pool: "Before us, there were already people who made a wasted trip."
"What truth is Lu Xiuhuang hiding?"
"You know, Lu Xiuhuang and Yuan Hao had already said when they had a secret conversation that they would definitely bring the things back, but Yuan Hao never saw them. At the beginning, I always thought that Lu Xiuhuang's judgment was wrong.
We made a mistake, which led to the failure of Shi Pan's mission to find things, so we decided to change our plan temporarily and try our luck. However, you also saw..."
"I understand what you mean. Lu Xiuhuang actually found something, but kept it to himself without telling Yuan Hao."
"That's right."
In fact, as long as we analyze the actual situation at hand, we will know that Shipan and the Xixia people did take away some things from the stone pit. The pit was more than four meters in diameter and nearly seven or eight meters deep. It was dug hard with chisels.
But there were not that many stones excavated. The thick layer of stones at the bottom of the pit should be a by-product of digging the pit. It is obviously much different from the volume of the pit, and the other part should have been dug out and taken away.
These things that were taken away were confiscated by Lu Xiuhuang. This court Taoist priest was so courageous that he dared to deceive even Yuan Hao, the founding hero of the country.
Moreover, when Xiaozhu and I talked about Lu Xiuhuang, he told me that according to very detailed historical records, not long after Lu Xiuhuang returned to Xixia, a shocking wave occurred in the Xixia court. Prince Ning
Ming assassinated Yuan Hao for unknown reasons. Yuan Hao had his nose cut off and died soon after.
It is difficult to determine the specific process and reasons for this past incident that has been submerged in history. I don’t know if it is related to Lu Xiuhuang. However, after this incident, Lu Xiuhuang completely disappeared.
, not only disappeared in the Xixia court, but also disappeared in history.
Of course, these things have nothing to do with us, but this operation was a complete failure.
The cloud of failure hangs over everyone's mind, but Xiaozhu is indeed a person who can do great things. He can take it up and put it down, and he did not anger or upset anyone because of this failure. After we cleared the artificial dig in the center of the pool,
After exiting the pit, the team stayed for another hour or two, and then returned along the original route.
The road back was the same one we had walked. After the previous gunfight in the dense forest, there were no accidents. We walked quickly and smoothly. When I walked out of this vast old forest,
At that time, I felt a vague sense of trance in my heart, and everything seemed like a nightmare.
But this dream is extremely real. At the very least, Lao Gong and Han Yunzhou will never come back.
After running around in the deep mountains and forests for so many days, my body couldn't bear it. I had to rest for two days to recuperate my spirit. Maybe it was for psychological reasons. I always felt that the smell wafted out by the monks when they were digging stone pits was very strong.
It was stubborn and could not be washed away no matter how hard I washed it. Even Madam said the odor was very strange, more annoying than body odor, so taking a bath became a compulsory course.
As soon as the team arrived in Kaiyang County, they dispersed immediately. Dazuo and Huaiqinglin disappeared without a trace, and the mysterious Jiang Chen seemed to have disappeared from the world. Only the mustache monk and Liang Zi were left. I had to start thinking about those days again.
What happened in the woods, especially the person who pushed me off the cliff.
Who could this person be?
I feel a little tired, not physically, but mentally. My life has completely changed, and it has become so much that people dare not face it or accept it. But I really don’t know how to get rid of this kind of life.
no way.
I was soaking in the bathroom that day when Ma Dad suddenly opened the door with a buzzing phone and told me it was an unfamiliar number, but the area code was Jiangbei.
I was immediately surprised when I heard the phone ringing. This number was changed after I left Jiangbei. No one knew about it except Cao Shi and Xiaozhu. Cao Shi was often inconvenient when working under the old man, so he originally changed his phone number from Ban Tuo.
After leaving, he never contacted me.
I quickly wiped my hands and took the phone, pressed the answer button, and said hello. Cao Shi's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Master Tian, is it convenient for you to talk now?"
I subconsciously looked out from the bathroom and saw that none of the monks were there, only Ma Dad.
"Old Cao, tell me what's going on."
Cao Shi was silent for a moment, and then said in a very low and dull voice: "Master Tian, Master Eight is down!"
"What!?"
I didn't hear clearly at first, but Cao Shi said it again. My heart immediately tightened, and I asked him what happened. After Cao Shi said it, I stood up from the bathtub with a gasp, and I could hardly even hold the phone steady.
.
In fact, since I left Jiangbei, the atmosphere there has been a bit abnormal. Several small dealers who were suppressed by the old man went crazy and joined forces to grab goods from us. There were constant frictions. At first, the old man didn't pay much attention.
I sent people to fight with them several times, and each time I dispersed them. After a few days, they came out again to make trouble. Once the number of times increased, the old man became anxious. In addition, he was in a bad mood because of me.
So you are so ruthless that you will trample the opponent to death completely.
The old man has been entrenched in Jiangbei for many years, and he still has a deterrent effect. Once he said harsh words, the other party seemed a little timid, and suddenly became honest. He neither caused trouble nor showed his face, could not be caught, and even shrunk his hand. The old man
You can't just waste time with them. As time goes by, you can forget about it.
Cao Shi missed his camel and was injured. After people from Jiangbei came to pick him up, the old man didn't embarrass him and just let him rest in peace and recuperate. Cao Shi was in good health and recovered quickly. In addition, the old man couldn't miss him.
So as soon as the stitches are removed, I go out and do whatever I can.
About five days ago, it was Lao Luo's birthday. The old man is a nostalgic person, especially for the old friends who lived together through life and death. In addition, the old man has been bored at home for a long time and wanted to come out for some air, so on his birthday,
He arrived at Lao Luo's place.
As soon as the old man went out, things started to get messy. Someone unexpectedly sealed the stalls and market openings, and took away many of the guys. Cao Shi felt that something was not right at that time. Such a big move had never happened since the old man established himself in Jiangbei.
However, even if there is an investigation, there can always be some information in advance. After further inquiries, Cao Shi will know that something is wrong, because the other markets are safe and sound, and there is no involvement in the cleaning.
The matter was so big that Cao Shi had to step forward to rescue people. He immediately contacted the old man and specifically told his family to be careful. But the seriousness of the situation was completely beyond his expectation. Within a few hours, there was no
When Cao Shi fished the man out, a powerful force of unknown origin immediately launched a thunderous strike. Many of the old man's people were arrested at that time, and the attackers had made very careful arrangements in advance, and the old man was beaten without any chance of fighting back.
With such force, even his residence was attacked.
Cao Shi was afraid that an accident would happen to the old man, so he immediately went to pick him up. But the old man disappeared. After the attack, he might have smelled something strange and disappeared inexplicably. Not only did the enemy not find him, but even Cao Shi
He couldn't be found either. The situation had deteriorated to such a degree that Cao Shi could not turn the tables and had to hide. The remaining forces under the old man were leaderless and were quickly eliminated one by one.
It seems that the enemy is not done after defeating the old man, but is sparing no effort to kill them all, searching for people who follow the old man to earn a living throughout Jiangbei. Cao Shi is the old man's right-hand man. The target is too big and he does not have the strength to overturn the situation, so he can only continue to hide.
Go down, want to avoid the wind and contact some people, find the old man first. But the energy of this unknown force is unusually large, and the plan is perfectly arranged. The old man's background is very clear, from Cao Shi to Cao Shi.
The other side seemed to have a detailed list of the minor characters on the handicap, and in the end, almost no one was left out.
After the incident happened, Cao Shi kept contacting me. I was on my way back at the time and couldn't contact him, so he thought I had also had an accident and was even more unsure. Now he has contacted me, but as soon as the situation was explained,
