Although Professor Qi felt sorry for his companions, he also knew that it was impossible for him to save his companions by himself, and Wang Qinian, the only one who had this ability, was also seriously injured.
However, when Professor Qi was in pain, Wang Qinian made an unexpected move. Wang Qinian picked up the sharp knife and chopped off the middle finger that had been bitten by Professor Qi and others several times. He raised the knife and dropped it.
The middle finger fell directly, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
"Mr. Wang, what are you... doing?" Professor Qi was so surprised that he stuttered when he saw Wang Qinian's actions.
"Although I escaped with you, I myself was cursed by the masked man and I can't escape. The masked man will catch up soon. If we both escape together, we will both die here.
.”
Wang Qinian's expression was very serious. He tapped his left wrist a few times with his good right hand to control the flow of blood. He looked at Professor Qi and said seriously: "Now, you are the only one who has a chance to escape. That masked man
I won't catch up with you, but I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of this ancient tomb on your own. Now that you have my finger, some things won't dare to approach you. I will go find the masked man and help you escape.
Delay time."
Professor Qi was stunned by what Wang Qinian said and did not respond for a long time. When Wang Qinian saw Professor Qi's expression, he sighed and continued: "There is a reason why I am willing to save you, because I
Someone must escape and help me complete something."
"I will enter this ancient tomb with you because Chen Hao told me that there is something I want in this tomb, but after entering the ancient tomb, I found that there is nothing in this ancient tomb that I want.
Then Chen Hao not only lied to you, but also to me."
"Chen Hao?" After hearing this, Professor Qi finally came to his senses. It turned out that the mysterious man was called Chen Hao. This was the first time he knew the name of the mysterious man. After the two reached a deal, Professor Qi asked
I tried the other person's name several times, but was rejected all the time. The mysterious man smiled and said to him: "The name is just a code name. If I don't want to really tell you, I can just make it up, so what's the point."
"Yeah." Wang Qinian nodded and continued: "Time is running out. Let me make a long story short. I actually came to this ancient tomb to find evidence. My entire family was wiped out overnight. After all these years, I
The investigation found that it is related to the Western Holy See, so I want to find evidence, but there is no evidence I want in this ancient tomb, so I hope that if you escape, you can help me investigate something."
"What happened?"
"The route of the sixth Eastern Expeditionary Force sent by the Western Holy See also has a purpose. If you find out the results of the investigation, someone will come to you. Just tell him what you know."
After Wang Qinian said this, the expression on his face suddenly changed. He leaned down and listened on the ground for a while, then said anxiously: "Hurry up, the masked man is coming. He will reach the main hall when he appears from here. What?
Don't be curious, just go back along the original path. After you get out, this ancient tomb will be completely submerged by the Yellow River water and will be sealed under the mud again."
When Professor Qi heard what Wang Qinian said, a trace of decisiveness flashed across his face, and he promised Wang Qinian: "I will definitely help you investigate the matter about the Sixth Eastern Expeditionary Force sent by the Holy See during my lifetime. Take care."
Professor Qi took the finger handed over by Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian said nothing. He stood up from the ground and walked towards a passage in front. Looking at Wang Qinian’s back, Professor Qi understood that this man with mysterious abilities may be a
Never seen again.
However, Professor Qi did not hesitate. After seeing Wang Qinian's back disappear, he also left in another direction. Not long after, he saw the hall where they had entered before. When he passed under the crystal coffin again, he discovered
, the abnormal noises in the crystal coffin became more frequent. It is said that those who like archeology have this extraordinary curiosity. Professor Qi wanted to stop several times and walk up the steps to take a look at the contents in the crystal coffin.
existed, but thinking of Wang Qinian's instructions, I finally suppressed my curiosity.
Because his current life does not belong to him alone. This is the escape opportunity that Wang Qinian gave him with his own life. He must not waste it because of his curiosity.
The moment Professor Qi left the hall and exited the stone door, he heard a scream, followed by a sound of shaking the earth. This loud roar directly shattered his eardrums, and a trace of blood appeared from the eye holes and
Coming out of nostrils.
He no longer dared to neglect, and ran towards it with all his strength, and soon came to the waterway again. Thinking of Wang Qinian's instructions, he held the finger in his hand, but he walked out of the waterway smoothly, and the corpses
His hair no longer tangled with him.
The matter ended here, Professor Qi looked at Wang Rui, "My life was saved by your father, so after I went out, I did not forget your father's instructions and began to investigate the sixth expedition sent by the Holy See to the East.
Regarding the military affairs, I just looked through all the classics and even asked some friends abroad, but no one had heard about the Holy See sending the Eastern Expeditionary Force. It was only in recent years that I got a clue."
Wang Rui became excited when he heard this, "What clue?"
"In 1921, a group of missionaries appeared in Zhejiang Province. Under the escort of a certain country's army, these missionaries went to a place, and that place was Hengyuan County."
Professor Qi said the last three words one by one. Among the people present, Wang Rui and Qin Yu were shocked at the same time. The difference was that Qin Yu was only slightly shocked, and a light flashed in his eyes.
But it soon returned to normal.
"This group of missionaries has a large number, and together with the escorting troops, there are nearly a thousand people. However, I have searched through foreign documents and documents, but there is no record of this group of troops and missionaries, at least, on the surface.
The information has not been recorded, and I also saw this news in the notes of an official in our province at that time who was responsible for receiving this group of people. What confused this official was that,
That group of missionaries and troops seemed to have disappeared from the world after entering Hengyuan County and never appeared again."
"Actually, when I saw those statues, I had already begun to wonder if the Sixth Eastern Expeditionary Force sent by the Holy See to the East that Brother Qinian asked me to investigate was referring to that group of people. Otherwise, how could it be like that?
Coincidentally, there is one in the ancient tomb, and there is one here too. Now that I know you are the son of Brother Qinian, I am even more convinced of my judgment."
Professor Qi's words made everyone fall into silence. This small Hengyuan County seemed to be hiding some big secret.
"Wang Rui, are you a descendant of the Wangjiazhuang in Hengyuan County who all died overnight?" Qin Yu suddenly spoke, staring at Wang Rui with bright eyes.
"Descendants of Wangjiazhuang?" A look of horror flashed across Zhang Haiming's face, while Professor Qi and others were confused and didn't know what Qin Yu meant.
"How do you know?" Wang Rui looked at Qin Yu, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his words were considered a sideways admission.
"Guess."
Qin Yu didn't care about Wang Rui's murderous intention, looked at Wang Rui with squinted eyes, and said: "I looked through the local chronicles of Hengyuan County and found that there used to be a big family named Wang in Hengyuan County, and this family named Wang was in
All died suddenly within one day. Of course, the official news was that it was a plague, but I got a clue from Director Zhang, and coupled with what Professor Qi just said, I made a bold guess."
"If I guessed correctly, that group of missionaries was the sixth Holy See expedition that Wang Qinian said. They arrived in Hengyuan County and did not go to other places. They went to Wangjiazhuang, but they didn't know
For whatever reason, everyone in Wangjiazhuang was killed, which is why villagers in the villages near Wangjiazhuang will hear the neighing of war horses and the sound of neat footsteps at night."
"However, not all the people in Wangjiazhuang are really dead. Your father Wang Qinian and your uncle Wang Haotian are not dead, or they escaped by luck. In fact, I still had some doubts about my guess at the beginning.
, because in this case, the time does not match up at all. Your father is only sixty years old at most, but it has been almost a hundred years since the Wang family was exterminated. But then I figured it out, it should be your grandfather who is not dead.
A hundred years ago, your grandfather escaped this disaster for some reason, so he began to find out the truth about the genocide in Wangjiazhuang, and your father went to the ancient tomb in the Yellow River to investigate the truth."
"In addition, I heard Director Zhang say that you people in Wangjiazhuang are very weird. You live in Wangjiazhuang all day long and rarely interact with outsiders. If I am not wrong, your ancestors in Wangjiazhuang should also have a good background. The Wang family
The village itself hides many secrets, and those missionaries came just for this secret. Unfortunately, in the end, your Wang family failed and was exterminated."
The corners of Qin Yu's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes kept staring at Wang Rui. He found that as he continued to speak, Wang Rui's body began to tremble slightly, and the expression on his face kept changing.
"Hey, Mr. Qin is really amazing." After a long time, Wang Rui's expression returned to normal, and he looked at Qin Yu with a hint of admiration, "The ancients said that Zhuge Liang is the master of magic. I think Mr. Qin's reasoning ability is definitely not inferior to Zhuge Liang.
Based on this information alone, we can accurately calculate what happened." (To be continued)
