Regarding the two coffins, Gu Tong did not say much in the later records, but Yu Hongdou tended to believe that it was neither.

This answer, of course, comes from the stereotype of science fiction works, so Yu Hongdou does not deny it completely.

Gu Jing only followed Xu Mao to this secret cave once, and after that, Xu Mao went there again and again, but he never followed him again.

The two childhood friends who grew up together began to drift apart, from being as close as brothers and talking about anything to having nothing to say to each other.

It was not until the village suffered a disaster and was preparing to relocate that Gu Jing stood with Xu Mao who had stepped forward.

The two talked all night long. Xu Mao talked about the secret cave and the "immortal" who looked exactly like him.

"Oh my! Is the truth about to be revealed?" Yu Hongdou became interested when she heard this, and moved closer to Tan Yanlin like a cricket pupa.

Tan Yanlin looked down for a long time and shook his head: "No, Gu Tong is even more confused."

"?" Yu Hongdou then lowered her head to look at the bamboo slips.

Unfortunately, the wrinkles on the characters made her dizzy.

"Xu Mao said, if that's not a god, then it must be him." Tan Yanlin pondered for a moment and looked up at Yu Hongdou.

"Infuse the soul into Taoism?" Tan Yanlin's tone was a little strange.

Yu Hongdou's expression looked even weirder. Before this she was just talking nonsense following what was seen in movies and TV dramas!

"What happened next? What happened to Xu Mao and that immortal in the end?" Yu Hongdou ignored Tan Yanlin's sarcasm and asked about the result.

"I don't know. Gu Tong just said that Xu Mao seemed like a different person but also seemed like the same person." Tan Yanlin pointed at the bamboo slips.

Yu Hongdou frowned. This description touched upon her blind spot in knowledge.

"Gu Tong said that they left the village to look for a new address, but Xu Mao seemed to have been prepared. They encountered difficulties while exploring the way, and Xu Mao had no choice but to take him to the cave secret room to find a few things and bring them out."

Tan Yanlin frowned and stared at the bamboo slips carefully several times, then stood up, got paper and pen, and began to draw.

Yu Hongdou stared at the picture drawn by Tan Yanlin, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter.

What appeared under Tan Yanlin's pen was a very simple and sloppy graphic, but Yu Hongdou recognized its function at once.

The car with a drill on top must be the tool for opening the cave. The car doesn't look very big because Tan Yanlin drew a little man next to it for comparison.

Based on this and the golden drill that was picked up, it makes perfect sense.

"Besides that there was a box and a pile of strange stones. One of the large ones was shaped like a coffin, but it was not the one they had seen in the secret room."

Tan Yanlin finished drawing the picture and read the whole paragraph. He shared this paragraph with Yu Hongdou thoughtfully. When talking about stones, he couldn't help but look up.

"This pile of stones is probably the energy stone. I'm curious, is it the water jade or the crystal that is the energy stone?"

In the secret room of Yidaishan, after Yu Hongdou signed in, she didn't think about opening the golden box, so Tan Yanlin didn't have the chance to see what the raw energy stone looked like.

When Yu Hongdou followed Grandma Gu to the mysterious ancient tree, Tan Yanlin was not there, so even if the energy stone was exhausted, Tan Yanlin had no chance to see it.

"...Maybe there is a little bit of crystal in the topaz, and that is the essence?" Yu Hongdou originally wanted to say it categorically, but when she thought of the stone that turned into transparent in the ancient tree, she was not sure.

"From the records of the ancient bronze, this energy stone can be used without being refined, but the effect may not be satisfactory, and the quantity is very scarce. So after they settled down, Xu Mao only used it three times after fusing the box with the ancient tree."

Tan Yanlin read the bronze records in one go and told Yu Hongdou the results directly.

After Gu Tong and Xu Mao worked hard to settle the villagers, the village started to develop. It was inevitable that people would get hurt, but Xu Mao and Gu Tong had an agreement that the [Sacred Tree] could not be used unless it was absolutely necessary.

What follows are some records of the two of them working together to build the village. Xu Mao would still disappear for a few days from time to time, but Gu Tong had no time to take care of him.

"It's hidden so deeply, it seems like there's no secret at all." Yu Hongdou looked disappointed.

I thought it would reveal Xu Mao's true identity, or why one of Xu Mao's descendants was named Xu Mao. What's worse, there was no mention of the origins of those things in the secret room in the cave.

Tan Yanlin felt that since Gu Tong had buried this record so secretly, there must be more to it than just this. However, after reading it over and over again, he could not find any secret code in the record. He could not help but frown and savor the meaning of every line of words.

After reading it over and over again, feeling a little stupid and wanting to put down the bamboo slips, Tan Yanlin suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Yu Hongdou looked at him, seemingly calm, but in fact he had already revealed his urgency as he picked up another bamboo scroll on the table, feeling a little confused.

"These bamboo slips have been intercepted by someone." Tan Yanlin spread out the two bamboo slips together and signaled Yu Hongdou.

It was also because of his carelessness that he didn't notice this.

Bamboo slips have a long history of recording events throughout history, but bamboo slips actually have a standard length.

Although there are specific lengths, daily records are certainly not specific, so according to the standard, the bamboo slips used for recording are two feet and four inches.

The other bamboo slips here are basically this long, even those with only a few sentences. The bronze record in Tan Yanlin's hand is only a little over one foot and three inches long.

Because the length of bamboo slips used for daily letters was one foot, Tan Yanlin did not react at first.

"...Well, it was all in vain. Someone got there first." Yu Hongdou stroked his forehead and sighed.

You say that the person hiding behind this is so hateful. Either you don't leave any clues and just take away the entire record from Gu Tong. Why do you have to keep only half of it? What on earth do you want to do?

Tan Yanlin's eyes flickered, and he looked around the room. He stayed on the white animal head for a moment and then moved away.

Yu Hongdou was spinning in circles angrily. Just as she was about to complain, she heard hurried footsteps outside.

She thought she had discovered something again, so she turned around and looked at the door, only to see teacher Mo Shougui walking in with an anxious look on his face.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Yu Hongdou rarely saw Mo Shougui like this, so she hurriedly stepped forward and supported him.

"I remember." Mo Shougui was panting, stroking his chest with one hand and holding the arm that Yu Hongdou came to support with the other.

"I remembered where I saw that animal head." Mo Shougui took two quick breaths, and after he recovered, he couldn't wait to continue speaking.

"I felt that the beast head looked familiar when I saw it in the underground palace, but later on, for various reasons, I ignored it. It was not until I was on the way here that I remembered that your second senior brother had come back once, and I saw a beast head like this on him at that time."

"Second Brother?" A question mark appeared above Yu Hongdou's head.
