Su Xiaomeng's great-great-great-grandfather and grandfather were panicked and confused by these unreasonable words, but the woman didn't say anything else, fell down on the bed and fainted. The two of them didn't dare to have a moment.
During this period, the woman's husband couldn't accept it, and he couldn't understand why his wife suddenly became someone else's father.
The woman fainted for a short time and woke up in less than half an hour. However, after she woke up, she was also at a loss and had no idea what had happened. As a result, Su Xiaomeng's great-grandfather and the others could not get any clues, and their brains
There is only the last sentence that has no beginning, no end, and is weird.
People at that time were quite superstitious, and the Su family attached great importance to this matter. They felt that since it was an old man who stayed, they must do something about it. After thinking about it for a long time, they still didn't have much clue. In desperation, they decided
Go back to your ancestral home and have a look.
The focus of the observation was the family cemetery. They had been away from their hometown for two or three years. When they returned, the ancestral cemetery was still the same as when they left, without any man-made damage. The Su family first conducted a grand ancestor worship. During this period,
I focused on checking the old man's grave. From the surface, there was no clue. There was a lot of rain in the area. As long as the grave was not dug upside down, any traces would be completely washed away after heavy rain.
After wandering like this for a few days, Su Xiaomeng's great-grandfather couldn't hold it in anymore. He was the head of the family, and finally decided to dig up the old man's grave and take a look. Because the woman's last words before she fainted had already been
With a faint hint. In that kind of environment and worldly consciousness, it is a very disrespectful act for children and grandchildren to dig up their ancestors' graves. The Su family had no choice but to think of a reason to move the graves.
"The outcome of the matter was pretty much what Grandpa expected, but there was one more thing that he didn't expect."
Because of the hint of that sentence, the Su family was also mentally prepared. After they dug up the old man's grave, they found that the coffin was empty and the body that had been buried in it was missing. The Su family had vaguely expected this.
A little, but in the open empty coffin, there is a piece of bronze.
This is not much different from the result I guessed.
"That's it." After Su Xiaomeng told this, he slowly took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know if you will believe it."
"There's nothing I don't believe. Since you said it, I believe it." I thought about it secretly, and then asked: "It's just a little strange. According to you, this thing has happened for many years, right? Why?
Didn’t you start looking for results until you came here?”
"That's something that can't be helped." Su Xiaomeng smiled bitterly again.
The Su family did not give up the pursuit of the truth back then, but after digging up the ancestral grave, nothing like that woman happened again. What they had in their possession was the piece of bronze that had no origin. Apart from this piece of bronze, there was nothing else.
In such an information-blocked environment, it is almost impossible to use a piece of bronze that no one knows as a clue to find the truth. The Su family are honest businessmen with no special background, and they have wasted several years.
Years passed and nothing was achieved.
In other words, it's not that they don't want to find it, but that there really is no other way.
The matter was delayed like this, and the piece of bronze was kept tightly sealed at Su Xiaomeng's house.
"Originally, I had no idea that something like this had ever happened in my family."
If there were no accidents, Su Xiaomeng's grandfather had planned to hide this matter forever. Knowing that there would be no results, why bother telling his children and grandchildren? But one night three years ago, the piece of bronze that had been tightly sealed emitted a
A very strange sound. The sound suddenly woke up everyone in the family. Su Xiaomeng looked delicate, but in fact he was not timid. He opened the door in a daze wearing pajamas, so he heard the strange sound very clearly.
It was a sound that may not be described in words. It was like thousands of people shouting and shouting in condensed syllables together in a very, very vast space. It was also like a violent hurricane blowing through a narrow canyon.
Anyway, it sounds very permeable in the middle of the night.
"I didn't know what happened at the time, and I couldn't even find the source of the sound."
The sound rang for about three to five minutes, and then stopped. Su Xiaomeng's grandfather knew this very well. He severely scolded those in the family who made wild guesses, and then asked everyone to go back to sleep. But the next day, the sound rang again in the middle of the night.
For a week, Su Xiaomeng's grandfather couldn't bear it anymore. The strange incident from that year clearly came to mind again. The next day, he took out the bronze sealed in the wall.
Because of this, Su Xiaomeng was able to know the past events of his family and the piece of bronze.
"It's a bit strange to say it." Su Xiaomeng said: "After the piece of bronze was taken out, it never made any sound again."
What happened next was similar to Fan Tuan's situation. It was because of this piece of bronze that Su Xiaomeng came into contact with Lao An's circle.
"Oppa, to be honest." Su Xiaomeng's mood returned to normal, and he showed his little tiger teeth as before, and said: "If I hadn't been so confused by those weird things and felt so helpless, I might have seen your post.
There will be no reaction afterwards. I have been in contact with them and understand the mood of the person involved."
"Then I have to thank you very much." I also smiled and took the opportunity to say: "Can you tell me more about the bronze?"
"For more detailed information, I have to ask Lao An. I only know a little bit." Su Xiaomeng turned the tea cup in his hand and said, "Just listen to what you heard. Don't mention it to anyone in the circle, otherwise you will always be worried."
Ann is definitely going to be angry."
"I'll keep it tight-lipped."
"The ones who lie are puppies, those who talk nonsense are soulless, and those who break the contract will be single for the rest of their lives." Su Xiaomeng laughed, and then said to me seriously: "Lao An analyzed from some clues that that kind of bronze may be Zhou
Relics from King Mu's era. So far, the specific number of bronzes is unknown. Although it is not certain that every piece of bronze was cast by King Mu of Zhou, it is at least closely related to him. The reason for casting these bronzes may be that he traveled far away with King Mu of Zhou.
It’s related to the Western Regions.”
"This involves the specific role of bronze?"
"That's right." Su Xiaomeng said: "You have to understand many things slowly. When we discussed it before, we assumed that bronze, or the prototype of bronze, was brought back by King Zhou Mu when he traveled to foreign lands with eight divine horses in the past.
Yes, what are these bronzes used for? It is said that King Mu of Zhou once paid a visit to the Queen Mother of the West who lived in Kunlun Mountain. Some people think that the purpose of his travels to foreign lands was to find the legendary way to immortality, but those bronzes seemed to be related to immortality.
It doesn’t matter much.”
I couldn't help but have a headache. If Su Xiaomeng really didn't know these things, and wanted to get the truth from Lao An, I guess it was a dream. I didn't have much contact with Lao An, but when I thought of him posing alone in the dim light, I couldn't help but have a headache.
Looking at Qi's back, I felt that this person might be difficult to deal with.
"If you want to know more, you have to ask Lao An." Su Xiaomeng said helplessly: "Let's try it at the party in the evening, but since you just joined in, Lao An will definitely not say much."
After finishing the meal, it was almost time for the party. We hurriedly paid the bill and walked quickly to the small bar where we had the last party. After entering, I saw Lao An still sitting next to the bar with the
The game seemed to last forever, and the others were slowly drinking and chatting quietly. Still no one paid attention to me. Only Fan Tuan winked and greeted me when others were not paying attention.
Su Xiaomeng took me to Lao An and left the two of us to talk alone. Lao An never asked me where I came from, as if everything was under his control, he slowly placed the chess pieces and said: "The bronze is here
?"
"Brought it."
I handed him the bronze I brought with me. Lao An had been in contact with bronze for a long time, and he was probably an expert in antiques. He could distinguish the authenticity from the fake by holding the bronze for a while.
"Very good." Lao An looked at it for a while, nodded, stood up with the bronze, and said, "We have to do something, please wait here for a while."
My heart went cold as soon as I heard this. I originally planned to take this opportunity today to learn more about some things, especially the role of bronze, but Lao An simply put me aside.
"Also." Lao An turned around and said to me: "Here, we don't want to ask people about bronze in private. When it's time to discuss, everyone will discuss it together. Do you understand?"
His voice was not high, but there was a hint of command in his tone, which made me further realize that this circle was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and there might be strict discipline to restrain everyone.
Lao An shouted softly over there, and someone quickly walked to the door of the bar and pulled down the rolling shutter. After that, Lao An took everyone except Su Xiaomeng to a small private room against the wall behind the bar.
.
"It's better now." Su Xiaomeng looked aggrieved: "In order to accompany you, even I can't see what is going to happen."
I suddenly felt like I was being tricked, and felt that the bronze I had worked so hard to find was used as a wedding dress for someone else. But then I thought about it, and it was understandable. Just like what Su Xiaomeng said, when you enter a new environment, you must have the ability to adapt.
Time, I have to adapt to others, and I have to let others adapt to me slowly.
The two of us drank beer slowly and waited very boredly. Su Xiaomeng told me some things about their past expeditions. We waited like this for about an hour. The door of the private room opened, and a man walked out, and then he was alone.
He went into a corner and remained silent. I wasn't familiar with him, so I couldn't ask anything, so I could only continue to wait.
Then, the waiting time seemed to be shortened. Twenty minutes later, the second person walked out of the room, and another twenty minutes later, the third person walked out. This was repeated several times, and the last person to walk out of the private room was Fan.
group.
Fan Tuan was dragging his body with fat and was a little lost. When he approached us, I noticed a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Fan Tuan didn't say anything. He grabbed the beer on the table and drank it all in one breath. Su Xiaomeng watched Fan Tuan remain silent and ran to find Lao An.
Taking this opportunity, I asked Fan Tuandao in a low voice: "What are you doing inside? Are you looking at those bronzes? What did you see?"
The flesh on Fan Tuan's face trembled. He must have been reprimanded by Lao An when he entered the circle, so he was very sensitive after hearing my question and couldn't help but look in the direction of the other people.
, lest others can hear our conversation.
"No one can hear me. Tell me, what did you see?" I continued to ask.
"That... that..." Fan Tuan drank another bottle of beer, wiped his mouth, turned his eyes to me with difficulty, and said, "That's definitely not true."
