Chapter 52 Happy

I nodded, and my second uncle lit another cigarette and said, "You have read as many books as I have. Have you read The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang?"

I nodded. "Historical Records" is a required course for those who want to study antiques, so I have naturally read it. He continued: "Where is the Book of Han?"

I nodded again, and he said: "Have you noticed? These emperors in ancient China have a common practice. Whether they are the great emperor, the little emperor, the emperor or the orthodox royal family, after they have achieved fame and peace in the world, they all There is bound to be one behavior, which is to seek immortality.”

"The pursuit of immortality is the ultimate dream of an emperor, so it's not surprising. If I don't have to worry about money all my life, I can kill whoever I want, and marry whomever I want, then my only pursuit is probably to change this life again. Keep going,” I echoed.

The second uncle ignored it and just continued: "If you open the history books, you will find that it is really difficult to break this convention, and the more the founding emperor, the more serious it became. Qin Shihuang, Han Wu Emperor, Tang Taizong..." He paused, "From generation to generation, dozens of country names have changed, titles have changed, and even the title of emperor is no longer used, but the conventions have not been broken."

I nodded, that was indeed the case. Human nature is inherited and unchanged. No matter where you stand, at a certain time, you will still see death approaching you.

"However, the so-called secrets and legends of immortality become more and more vague the closer we get to modern times. Many emperors believe that clues to the art of immortality exist in the tombs of ancient alchemists. Therefore, some teams will naturally appear to help the emperors conduct field exploration. Such teams often fail Sheep heads sell dog meat, using some existing organizations as a cover." He looked at me and smiled, "And the people in these teams were the most powerful masters among the people that night. Since ancient times, the local masters, the immortals of the north and the south, touched gold. Many of the school lieutenants were recruited and received public food. At certain times, under the pressure of power, you have no choice but to disloyalty. For the sake of the family and the children, you can only bow your head."

"However, this kind of thing has never been brought to light, so these people in the past generations have not had a good end in the end. In addition, in this kind of team, there are always people who want to get rid of that kind of all-pervasive control, and immortality is not only a problem for emperors and generals. Attractive, it is also a huge temptation for these searchers. When they really find some clues, they can't help but have their own ideas in their hearts."

"They often tell their brothers or family members about these ideas. The members of these families are people who have seen wind and waves and rolled on the edge of a knife. They are very courageous, so they will formulate some plans to implement these ideas. These Some plans failed, some succeeded, and some don’t know whether they failed or succeeded, but what is certain is that once discovered, the end of these people will come.”

He stopped, hooked my shoulder and said, "However, some plans can be kept secret for a long time, and even change dynasties. By this time, both parties have reached a certain consensus, and no one wants it to be exposed." As he said, He looked at me again, "Especially 'it'."

I dare not say that I fully understood the second uncle’s story, but I understood what he wanted to say.

To be honest, I didn't expect anything of this magnitude behind the matter. No wonder Brother Chu told me that we couldn't investigate any further. In the silence, I connected what my second uncle said with some of my previous speculations, and unexpectedly found that many things became reasonable at once.

I asked: "So, what is happening here is also one of the activities carried out by 'it'?"

The second uncle nodded: "I'm afraid so. That's why I knew about the existence of this village a long time ago. As soon as Pan Zi said that you had arrived here, I felt something was wrong and immediately asked him to bring people over. Wherever that group of people went, there must be Extremely dangerous.”

"Then do you know what is going on here? What are those things?" I asked my second uncle.

He thought for a while and said: "Those may be Milotuo."

"Milotuo? What is that?"

"Miluotuo is the ancestor of the Yao people. In their mythology, their first goddess,

It comes from the mountains. I estimate that the monster responsible for all is the prototype of Milotuo. He took out a piece of iron from his pocket and said, "When this goddess created a human for the first time, what she created was an iron man. However, the goddess of the iron box's divine power was incompatible and failed to succeed." At that time, the miners who used iron to seal the people in the stone were obviously Yao people who had heard this legend. Your estimate should be similar. "

I nodded. The second uncle continued: "As for how this thing came into being, I'm afraid no one knows. From your description, this thing is very much like a religious ceremony. You are treated as sacrifices and waiting there. Those things exist at the bottom of the mountain It's a very deep place and it will take a long time to get down. I feel that what you encountered may have been arranged by others."

He also had the same feeling, which proved that my intuition was correct, but I said: "But, I said, there is no exit from that mine."

He thought for a while, patted me and said: "I told you before, whatever happened, no matter what phenomenon you saw, it happened. Since you have entered, there must be an entrance. You can't find it. I can’t say it’s not there, the entrance must be right there.”

I smiled bitterly. When the fat man said it before, I had the same idea, but I just couldn't find it.

My second uncle's walkie-talkie rang suddenly. He picked up the phone, hummed a few times and then hung up. I continued to ask, why did he bring so many people to see me? This is too exaggerated! What are they doing at the lake now?

The second uncle's face was ashen and he only said: "There are some things. This time, thanks to you, otherwise we would not be able to find this place. As for the purpose of coming here, I can't tell you now. When things are confirmed, you can naturally You will know." He looked at his watch, "Things here have just begun, and we don't have much time."

"Is it related to Uncle San? Or, to 'it'?" I asked.

The second uncle smiled and said, "Don't worry. When the time comes, you will know how insignificant these things you have experienced are actually. Don't ask or inquire now. If you want to find out about that little brother's past, just go and find it. But here, don’t do what you do. I’m different from the third child, I won’t let you mess around.”

The second uncle didn't say anything else to me. Unlike the third uncle, I wouldn't argue with him. That was completely useless. He would keep his word and tell me when things were confirmed, and he would never break his promise.

He said that he would stay here for a while and that I could wait here or go for a walk elsewhere. However, you must report your whereabouts at any time in the future, so that I won’t be allowed to run around again.

Because I was thinking about the fat man and the stuffy oil bottle, I left the village a week later and went to the hospital in Fangchenggang. Yuncai and Agui took me to their ward, and both of them were fine.

Yiyi said, in fact, the injuries suffered by the two people were not fatal, but they lost too much blood and became infected. Fortunately, their bodies were very good. I used incense ash to stop the bleeding and isolate the bacteria at the same time, so I only needed a blood transfusion to save them. Come over. Those incense ashes are really crucial. If they bleed one more palm of blood, even the Great Luo Immortal might not be able to control them.

I learned to use incense ash to stop bleeding from Shan Tianfang's storytelling. I didn't expect it to actually work. It seems that I really want to listen to storytelling more.

When I see Fatty, I almost burst into tears. After not seeing him for a few days, his body had gained weight again, and he didn't look like he had just left the Palace of Hell.

When the fat man saw the clouds coming, he couldn't find his way anymore, so he got out of bed to show off his immortality.

They probably asked me about what happened next, and I explained how I stuffed the fat man's intestines in and how I dragged them out.

After hearing this, the fat man was stunned for a while, saying that no wonder he always felt that his intestines were not going in the right direction recently, and he burped when he thought about defecation, and said, "Don't stuff it backwards for me."

With that said, we started chatting about the whole thing and I pulled out a piece of paper and showed it to them. Previously at Agui's house, I drew the floor plan of the ancient village based on my memory.

But there was no result from such discussions, so the fat man started to take us to eat sick meals.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the clouds. Looking back, she found that she was looking at the plan of the lake bottom in confusion. There was no reaction at all, obviously he was attracted by something.

I was a little surprised. The flat drawing was very easy, but in fact there was nothing interesting to see. She and the fat man looked at each other, and the fat man asked her: What's wrong, big sister?

Yuncai pouted, raised his head and said, "Boss, the village at the bottom of the lake you drew looks like Banai."
