I wish you two lifetimes

"What did you find here when you came last time?" Seeing that he seemed to be very familiar with the situation in the tomb, Gu Yanran couldn't help asking.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Wen Yanzhi turned his head to look at her, even in the darkness, Gu Yanran could still see a glimmer of light in his eyes.

She inadvertently wondered, what did Wen Yanzhi mean by this? "Is there anything else I don't know?"

"Not really, but this is Liu Chupei's tomb. Thinking about it, you will definitely pay special attention to it." As Wen Yanzhi said, the light in his eyes gradually faded.

"What's the use of caring? But it's all turned into a pile of bones. It's true to live well now, isn't it?" Gu Yanran smiled reassuringly, "Okay, don't be fooled, tell me quickly , I feel something strange inside, but I can't tell what is strange."

"The tomb outside? It's just a fake tomb."

Gu Yanran was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Wen Yanzhi to say such a sentence, "What do you mean by that? It's fake."

"Ah."

Wen Yanzhi's tone didn't sound like he was joking, Gu Yanran suddenly felt flustered, "Do you have any evidence? You say it's fake."

"Didn't you find out? The tomb at the bottom is much larger than the one at the top. What's more, what you just walked over was only a part of it. You didn't see the other parts at all. The area should be dozens of times larger than the part just now. , the bottom is the main tomb."

"What?" Gu Yanran started to tremble uncontrollably as soon as he thought of a certain possibility, "You mean...the one lying on the top...isn't Liu Chupei?"

Wen Yanzhi nodded.

Gu Yanran looked at him in disbelief, "Impossible, what are you kidding! How can it not be Liu Chupei's tomb, her name is on the sarcophagus, and there is a burn mark on the right side of the female corpse, I am sure, that It's Liu Chupei! Would I still admit that I was wrong?"

"Yan Ran, I told you a long time ago that what the eyes see is not necessarily true. What you see is just what others want us to see. Do you understand?"

"Since you say it's not true, tell me, whose tomb is that tomb? Where is the real Liu Chupei buried?"

"I can't answer these two questions for you for the time being, and I'm still researching, but what I can tell you with certainty is that the one buried above is really not Liu Chupei."

"How is it possible...how is it possible..." Gu Yanran murmured to herself, what happened today made it difficult for her to accept for a while, she had already had great doubts about this tomb, now Wen Yanzhi told her This is not her tomb.

These things came in a rush, how could she bear it?

"Do you know who buried her here?"

Gu Yanran raised his head and looked at Wen Yanzhi, did he know that?

"It's Wang Ying, that is, Liu Chupei's son-in-law. You should know this best. The one buried above is not Liu Chupei, but Liu Chupei should be buried somewhere here. I'm not sure where."

"Are you so sure?" It's not that Gu Yanran didn't have this idea before, but there is no evidence that it is Yanzhi who buried her here.

"Do you remember? Before you asked me to see if there were any words on the sarcophagus? I later found the words 'Beloved Wife' at the bottom of the sarcophagus. You should know better than me. Who carved these two words?"

"These two characters must have been engraved after the burial to commemorate the deceased, so let me ask you again, if you were an ordinary person, where would you engrave the inscription on your deceased wife?"

How could Gu Yanran not understand the meaning of his words, inscriptions and eulogies are usually engraved on stone tablets or sarcophagi, and no one would engrave words on the bottom.

Seeing that she understood, Wen Yanzhi continued, "I also only thought of these two words last time when I discovered them."

That day, he also lay his whole body on the bottom of the sarcophagus to see those two words.This shows that these two characters were carved by someone in a lying posture.

In addition to the fact that there is another empty chamber at the bottom of the sarcophagus found in the upper tomb, he determined that the upper tomb and the lower tomb are directly connected, and the person who wrote the inscription was directly in this tomb at the time, giving the upper layer Inscriptions on the bottom of the sarcophagus.

The problem now is that they have to find the space on the floor corresponding to the tomb above.

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you a question." Seeing that Gu Yanran was deep in thought, Wen Yanzhi couldn't help asking.

"You said."

"Did Liu Chupei hold that piece of jade in his hand before he died?"

Gu Yanran shook her head, this was the first time she told him about it, "No, no, I lost that piece of jade a long time ago, I don't know what happened, it will return to the dead body .”

"Who do you think it will be?"

"It's you, oh no, him." Gu Yanren thought for a while, and felt that at this moment, it's better not to provoke him because of the address, he is too easily angered now.

"Is it important?" Wen Yanzhi continued to ask.

"Important! Very important." Gu Yanran nodded desperately, "He knows about it, and he gave me the jade. I always carry it with me on weekdays, and sometimes I even take it out to play with. He knows about it. I like this piece of jade very much, and sometimes it hurts me even if I touch it a little."

"So you think that piece of jade is yours?"

Gu Yanran's heart was shocked, and she began to doubt her own judgment. The previous piece of jade had been hollowed out in the middle, and it was filled with mercury.

Now that I think about it, this matter is a bit strange, it is clearly her favorite jade, she must have known it, it is impossible for him to cut a hole in the jade, the corpse was originally immersed in mercury, there is no need to use jade In such a small space to store mercury for anticorrosion.

"But that piece of jade is indeed mine. It's almost the same shape." Gu Yanran was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.

Yes, the shape is exactly the same, but it does not mean that the texture of the jade is also the same.And it was so dark in the tomb at that time, she didn't see the specific appearance clearly at all, so she hid it secretly.

Seeing that Gu Yanran believed it, Wen Yanzhi continued: "After a person dies, the corpse will become stiff, and it is impossible for her to hold that piece of jade tightly. So do you understand? The corpse is Fake. Jade is also fake."

"But why did he do this?" Gu Yanran felt that his thoughts were a little confused at the moment.

"Then you have to ask him." Wen Yanzhi raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "The next door will open in 5 minutes, wait until you know what the principle of this space is."

"I want to take a look!" Gu Yanran looked at him firmly. Originally, she wanted to wait to go out tomorrow morning, but after hearing Wen Yanzhi's words, she made up her mind to go in and take a look.

"If you go inside, you may not be able to come out." Wen Yanzhi frowned, but didn't immediately object.

"Maybe it's my destination." Gu Yanran smiled bitterly, no matter whether she was Liu Chupei or Gu Yanran, they were all buried here, and it didn't seem like a bad thing to think about it.

"I haven't walked through this door either. I don't know what will be inside. Are you afraid? If you are not afraid, I will accompany you." Wen Yanzhi took her hand and walked diagonally forward.

The warmth of the fingertips is not as good as the warmth of the heart, Gu Yanran bit his lower lip, "I thought you would stop me."

"Is it useful to stop you?" Wen Yanzhi rubbed her head helplessly, "Just wait and follow me closely."

Gu Yanran nodded, before she could say anything, she saw a hole suddenly appeared in front of her, which looked exactly the same as the one just now, if Wen Yanzhi hadn't told her that there were twelve holes here, she would have admitted her mistake.

Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go."

Whether it's a mule or a horse coming out for a stroll, you can find out what's inside just by going in and taking a look.

As Dr. Gu Yanran expected, and also beyond her expectations, the cave is still a stone wall, and there are still stone paintings on the stone wall, "In other words, can you understand what these mean?"

"I guess it's a past event." Wen Yanzhi also leaned over to look at the paintings on the stone wall.

Gu Yanran stroked gently with his hand, what happened in his life?Whose life is it?Whose past is it?
The murals here are obviously different from the ones there just now. Gu Yanran glanced over and memorized all the scenes inside.

She was just about to look back when she suddenly felt familiar. She looked back at the place she had just arrived, and a simple stone carving outlined a familiar outline.

It's the city gate!
After Gu Yanran made this discovery, he stared at the stone carvings again.

Wen Yanzhi stood aside without speaking, looking at her quietly.

Gu Yanran's eyes were slightly moist, and she suddenly understood the content of the painting. Although it was very simple, she could tell that it was the scene when she sent him off to battle that day.

What Wen Yanzhi said was right, it was to record the past events in her life, and it was all about her and him.

Gu Yanran walked along the stone wall, she watched all the way down, the tears finally flowed down uncontrollably, and the sourness in her heart became more and more serious.

The mural above is the story of her and him with time as the main line, portrayed on it, she suddenly remembered what she just saw in another cave:

A river, a street, two people...

It turned out that it was when the two of them first met on the Lantern Festival...

In Gu Yanran's mind, the murals after the first encounter seemed to have corresponding scenes, and everything connected into a main thread.

But... why did you only arrive at the second cave, and the painting was already done when they parted, and she was almost dead at that time, "By the way, do you still remember what the mural you built was like?"

"It's different from the picture here... there's only one person."

Gu Yanran's heart was shocked!only one person!That is to say, she should have died by then.

That is to say, what happened in the other caves is what happened after her death!
Gu Yanran was overjoyed, there were no records in these history books, perhaps this is the only thing that recorded what happened in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty more than 1000 years ago.

Gu Yanran wanted to share this good news with Wen Yanzhi immediately.

"In short! Did you know? I found out—" Gu Yanran turned around, her smile froze, and she looked behind herself in disbelief.

It's empty, there's no one there...
