Covered with water

"You two should be clear about the next thing." Xiao Yunhe continued, "Half a year ago, Ichiro Maeda spent a lot of money to buy back the bronze tripod at the auction, which indirectly caused the death of his daughter Keiko Maeda. After Keiko died, Ichiro Maeda learned about the past of Horikawa’s family, and thought that the resurrection tripod was an ominous thing, so he issued a statement of donating the tripod, one is to get away from the legendary curse, and the other is to take the opportunity to recover part of his losses.”

"After the statement was released, with the spread of the media, it quickly attracted the attention of Mr. Zhengguo and Tsubaki Kojiro, who was still in China at the time. The two realized that this bronze tripod from the Shang Dynasty, which was auctioned at an astonishingly high price, was very likely It was the instigator of the misfortune in Luwang Village back then. So, Mr. Zhengguo found Ichiro Maeda and exchanged the ownership of the resurrection tripod with part of the truth of the curse. Kojiro Tsubaki hurried back to Japan and found that the bronze tripod had changed hands. So , he found Mr. Zhengguo, the two exchanged information in each other's hands, and soon formed an alliance. Mr. Zhengguo wanted to use the power of the Yata mirror to completely seal the curse in the resurrection cauldron; The king retrieved the lost artifact, how should I put it, it is indeed wishful thinking."

"You mean..." Fang Shu interrupted him abruptly, with an obvious, hoarse tremor in his voice, "Grandpa's death...it was him..."

"Yes." Xiao Yunhe had already guessed what he wanted to say, "Mr. Zhengguo discovered that the curse of the bronze tripod still exists, and the one-line connection between him and the curse was cut off by the Yata mirror. As Luwang Village's The offspring, who have inherited this misfortune since birth, are naturally worried about whether their offspring will have the same fate. Coupled with the early death of your father, Mr. Junpei, he has reason to suspect that the curse of the past has returned. In fact, he was the only one who escaped the catastrophe. So he thought of your safety at the first time, took the initiative to contact the bronze tripod, and concealed the truth from you. However, when the matter came to an end, Tsubaki Kojiro was the first to break the halberd, Mr. Masakuni I know, I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as I was back then. And after his death, you are the only one who may continue to investigate the truth, so he left his last words in the pocketbook."

"Mr. Zhengguo 'sacrificed' to save you." Xiao Yunhe mercilessly clarified the core truth of the incident, "After Mr. Zhengguo died, Maeda Ichiro found that the crisis had not really been resolved, so he took the initiative to contact Secret Service, let us intervene in this seemingly simple 'suicide' case."

He has always spoken a little unkindly, and he can't imitate Young Master Qin's slippery way of "following the wind and steering the rudder" if he wants to. He is even a little inferior to his rogue-like old man Shen in terms of comforting people.Fortunately, at this time, Fang Shu couldn't listen to the words of "sorrow and resignation"-the thin back of the young man was like a bowstring that was fully stretched, and now it was suddenly torn, and the whole person slipped and knelt on the ground with some weakness.

But he still couldn't cry.The three souls and seven spirits seemed to be wandering alone in the mid-air, and emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy were like a lake with a fixed amount of water, which had been cleaned up as early as Zhengguo's death.For a moment, he was thinking about the same question back and forth in his nearly numb brain——

why.

Why would grandpa do this.

Why didn't he tell me everything?

And in that distant void, there seemed to be another Lu Jiashu staring at him with clear emotions, pity on the one hand, and a bit mean on the other.Then he suddenly remembered that night ten years ago, the car driven by his father rushed out of the driveway, and in a brilliant and brilliant fire, all the scenes were rapidly reversed——Mother's body was twisted into an incredible arc , Moaning weakly and hoarsely: "Fang...Fang Shu..." I don't know where the strength came from, and I pushed him desperately out of the car that was about to explode.

As for Junpei, he didn't even have time to look at his son, his always dry and warm palms were stained with blood, and they fell in front of Yoshiki along with the blown steering wheel.

What was it then?It was Zhengguo's slightly rough fingers and his hot tears that dragged him out of that nightmare memory.

And now, he is a complete orphan.

This feeling is very strange, and it even makes Fang Shu feel a little wronged.Everything is like a black and white silent film, except for the two tear trails that cannot bear the force of gravity, adding a trace of vitality that is not like a living person in this cold museum.

Seeing this, Tong Yu only offered a helping hand.Ever since Xiao Yunhe revealed that the so-called curse was "the person who sees it has a share", his heart that had finally stabilized was tossing again and again. It felt as if he was tied to a safety rope in Huashan Mountain. After going back and forth on the ropeway, I found that the buckle around my waist was not fastened at all. I thought I could sit back and relax behind the scenes, but in fact I had already hung up in front of the king of Hades. The feeling was sour.

But looking at Fang Shu's way of crying that was too forbearing and too mournful, Tong Yu felt a subtle sense of guilt in his heart, why should I be cowardly when others are in such a miserable situation, so he raised his hand, Whether or not it fell on the shoulders of Yoshiki, who was extremely emotionally vulnerable at this time.

The air was quiet for a while, and after another two or three minutes, Xiao Yunhe spoke again: "Tsubaki Kojiro left a lot of valuable investigation materials. Twenty years ago, he deduced that eight The mirror is still in the hands of Ms. Xiangzi, but in the vast crowd, it is not easy to find someone who deliberately conceals his identity, so he found another way and chose to start with the bronze tripod. The resurrection tripod is the source of the curse. It is not difficult to find the persecuted parties.”

Wu Chunxing finally raised his hand weakly: "Sister-in-law...uh, what is this curse?"

"It's the lifespan." Xiao Yunhe said, "Kangding's attempt to revive his wife is actually a disguised form of borrowing life. The murdered people died unjustly, which is the cornerstone of the curse; they in turn plunder the new lifespan, The victim's resentment will become new nourishment to strengthen the curse. However, everything is too late. Your master just said that they have some ability to learn and evolve. In order to avoid being discovered, they have adopted some more subtle and gentle methods. methods, such as Horikawa Eita - he died of heart paralysis caused by overwork, no one will suspect that this is a premeditated murder. But they are completely contrary to Kanting's will, so they must Find an 'exit' for these excess lives."

"So..." Wu Chunxing said, "Yangyang and I are the 'exit' they chose? Wait, if they really succeed, what will happen to Yangyang and I?"

"There is a high probability that he will become a long-lived fool." Qin Zhi said very calmly, "I have read the handwriting left by Xu Shaocheng. During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was an anecdote in Xingyuan Mansion that a scholar went to Beijing. Unfortunately, he was infected with the disease on the way to the exam. After being sent back to his hometown, he became a speechless idiot. However, after three dynasties, he did not die with joy until he was an octogenarian. And the route he went to Beijing at that time was from Beijing The Zhaofu went all the way to the east, and happened to pass through what is now Henan. Of course, I have no evidence to show that this incident must be related to the Fusheng Ding, it can only be said to be an interesting coincidence."

Wu Chunxing finally understood: "It means that this curse is similar to some kind of radiation, right? Nothing happened at that time does not mean that nothing will happen in the future? The cursed person will have part of his life stolen. When the time comes, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster , this person hiccups...uh, dies naturally. But the lifespan those ghosts stole is completely useless to it, so every once in a while, they will find a hapless ordinary person to replace Are they responsible?"

Qin Zhidao: "This is almost what it means. It is related to the cause and effect of the curse of the resurrection cauldron. Tsubaki Kojiro has indeed paid a lot. Just to be on the safe side, I have also asked Wishing and Yin Hao to verify the details."

In fact, when the plan was first finalized, neither the husband and wife who were far away in Japan, nor Xu Hui and Yin Hao who were preparing to carry out the mission on the ground, did not expect that the search for X Village would become so easy.There is no other reason, because Tsubaki Kojiro has paved the way for them a long time ago - in the past 20 years, he first devoted himself to the study of modern Chinese history, and began to be active in China as a bronze scholar about eight years ago. Locked the location of Luwang village ruins.

According to the local villagers, this Xi'an scholar who calls himself Feng Xianchun has been coming to the county for so-called investigations from time to time since a few years ago. He dug up the dead land in Luwang Village by machine, and was so obsessed with not knowing what research he was doing, that in the end everyone kept him at a respectful distance.

And dating back to the time when he was far away in central Sichuan, he once had contact with a side branch of the Luo family.It is no exaggeration to say that he reshaped the entire process of the spread of the curse by himself, and the husband and wife also stepped on his shoulders to piece together the whole picture of the incident.

Of course, the twists and turns of Anyang and his party could not be explained clearly in one or two sentences, so Qin Zhi only picked out the important parts and briefly explained them.

Xiao Yunhe couldn't control his talking so much, but luckily the problem was almost solved.Wu Chunxing thought for a while, and then asked, "Where is the girl that day?" This seems to be a very important point in the legend of Luwang Village.

"Heavenly girl." Qin Zhi smiled meaningfully, "Then let the celestial girl answer."

Before everyone could understand what he meant by "Let the goddess answer", Xiao Yunhe glanced at him with some feeling.Wu Chunxing inexplicably read a series of crackling electric sparks from the two of them looking at each other. After a moment of confrontation, he saw his sister-in-law showing a very cold and slightly conniving smile - a mocking smile exclusive to lovers .

Xiao Yunhe was too lazy to complain about Young Master Qin's "I will die forever", turned around and walked in front of the bronze tripod, turned the long knife in his hand, and cut a bright red mark on the palm of his hand.The blood poured into the urn, and the cursed body, which had been placed for a long time, finally regained a little sense of existence at this moment. As the blood in his palm became more intense, he struggled and let out screams like howling evil spirits.

Tong Yu was so frightened that he shuddered all over, biting half of his lip with a "dangdang".The ground of the museum trembled faintly, as if some more terrifying monster was about to break out of the ground, the humming sound of the ground shaking and the scream of the ghost formed a strange resonance——

But even in such a violent storm, Xiao Yunhe's back was still as stable as a rock.His blood-stained palm and the "medium" reached a delicate balance, and the dark golden pupil almost burned into a bright red gold in an instant: "——Yuanshi Anzhen, preaching to all spirits, ascending to heaven and earth, coming out It’s dark. Now, I’d like to tell your envoy that there’s something I don’t understand. Please take the time to explain it. I’m very grateful.”

The next second—

The sky and the earth turned upside down, the stars set, and with the opening of the Nether Gate, the entire museum was sucked into a huge, dark whirlwind.Tong Yu felt his eyes go dark, his body suddenly lightened, his soul escaped from his body, and he fell straight into the bottomless burial ground.

The dense fog on the other side of Huangquan finally cleared away, revealing the true face of the sound of cars and horses that they couldn't find anywhere.

The blue carriage parked far away beside the River of Forgetfulness, a middle-aged man in white clothes and long tongue stood in front of the carriage, bowed his hands and said: "Long time no see, Sir Si Xing."

The author has something to say: And.

The truth is not over yet.
