Where do tomb robbers meet in their lives?

"Me, what's wrong with me?" I'm sure I have absolutely no natural abilities, and I don't have any weird birthmarks on my body, really no!

"Your appearance." Bai Tao said, took out a photo from his arms, and threw it to me.

I picked it up from the ground and took a look. It turned out to be a very old black and white photo. The woman on it was wearing a cheongsam, with slender eyebrows and smiling phoenix eyes. She belonged to the beautiful and elegant type of women in the Republic of China.

"This one is Liang Zixin's wife, your grandfather's mother, her name is Lu Minzhi."

"Uh...that's my great-grandmother?" I looked at it carefully, and thought that my great-grandmother was a beauty, with the demeanor of a lady.

"Take a closer look."

"Uh, it seems that this face is a bit familiar."

Bai Tao smiled slightly: "You look very similar to her."

what?

I stayed where I was, and this time I took the photo and looked left and right carefully-I'll fuck it!

"The resemblance is beyond coincidence. Especially when you smile exactly like the one in this photo."

I listened to Bai Tao talking on his own, pinching the photo and staring desperately at it.

Oh, let me go, after he said it, it looks more and more like it! Hey!

The shape of the face, eyes, and the outline of the nose, Nima, it turns out that I can still improve my appearance by dressing up!How did I not notice it before.

"It's a pity that your grandfather didn't notice this similarity in time this time. Your grandfather was only one year old when the ancestral house tragedy happened, and he didn't have any memory of his mother. Until we learned that you and Wu Sansheng entered Lu Wang Tomb, I faintly felt that something was wrong, and after careful investigation, I discovered this detail."

Alas, this "it" really doesn't let go of any details, and the information I have may be more than my grandfather himself knows.This realization made my heart shudder.I'm definitely not good at conspiracies and tricks, what should I do if I get involved all of a sudden.

I squeezed the photo and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked: "But how do they break through? Apart from my appearance, I don't know anything else? I was not born at that time."

"As I said, the secrets of the Liang family will be passed down from generation to generation, and the rest are just to protect the real heir. For 'it', all members of the Liang family are suspect, and the more you behave If you don't know anything, you will be more suspicious. Therefore, as long as your surname is Liang and you belong to the Liang family in Huizhou, then you have no chance to deny it from the beginning. And there is an even bigger doubt on you. You Liang Zhenqing, the father of 'it', took you on a trip shortly before his disappearance. Judging from the current situation, your father is more likely to be the heir to the secret. If so, before he disappeared, he took the secret It is not impossible to pass it on to you."

"I was only three years old when my dad disappeared. A three-year-old child knows a ghost! Even if he really took me away, I don't have the memory at all!" For some reason, talking about my dad now makes me feel Resentment, "And I can tell you that I don't have any weird markings or tattoos on my body."

"I believe this, because we have reasons to be sure that the records of so many physical examinations you have done in the past have been carefully studied by 'it'. There should be nothing abnormal on your body, otherwise 'it' would have already Even if you do it, you will not live in peace until now."

my grandma!

I bowed my head and held my forehead - this is really fucking cheating.

Liang Zhenqing, it's fine that you didn't leave anything to me, why do you need to do something so easily misunderstood!

"So, except for a few people in my family who know the truth, everyone else is cannon fodder. And if they are considered to be the heirs, they will only face the end of being kidnapped." I waved my hand, "I seem to understand why I recently It will be so unlucky. You have said so much, you should be close to the place related to me, you should give me a quicker, say everything that needs to be said, and it will be over. Whether you can bear it now, or not It's something I can choose."

"In that case..." Bai Tao looked at me and smiled.

Ouch, this smile is so bad, it combines sarcasm, ridicule, cunning, and helplessness all in one, I really don't know how to face it.I took a deep breath and leaned back again, rubbing my back against the roots behind me.

Unexpectedly, he actually said this sentence to me.

"First of all, I want to apologize to you."

"Apologize for what?"

"Because the design brings you into the undersea tomb, the one who brings you into everything, is me."

"What did you say!"

"As I said before, I am sure that Zhang Qiling, who entered the underwater tomb with me 20 years ago, is the person the Liang family has been waiting for for a long time. But this is only my own judgment, and I can't produce any evidence. And my time It's running out, I really have no way to slowly collect clues to convince your grandpa. I need to find another way. At this moment, something happened that made your grandpa very angry and caught my attention."

I was lured to the tomb of King Lu, and the leader of that operation was Wu Sansheng, and Zhang Qiling was also involved.

"Everyone in the Old Nine Gates is unreliable, and we don't even know how many people have been drawn into the 'it' forces. Judging from the Xisha operation 20 years ago, almost all the people in the team are from the old The descendants of the Nine Gates, including me, the Xie family, and the Wu family. I don’t know how many of them were coerced into joining the action, and how they stood in line. Both the family and the Zhang family are a threat."

Everyone is inseparable from "it".

And 20 years later, a girl surnamed Liang followed Wu Sansheng to the land in a daze.

The tomb of King Lu is the first ancient tomb excavated after Wang Zanghai escaped from Dongxia Kingdom.

For my grandfather, none of this could be just a coincidence.When he learned that Wu Sansheng and I had gone to the ground, he immediately became vigilant.

So the whole family was mobilized to secretly investigate all the clues related to me, and finally discovered the close connection between the photo in my hand and me.

I really look too much like Lu Minzhi!

My grandpa immediately realized that "it" had finally found a new direction after being dormant for so many years and acted again, but this time it turned its finger on me.

When I think of someone observing my every move in the dark at that time, I feel as if my whole body is covered with ants, which makes me feel uncomfortable all over.

"Your grandfather knew very well that you were not the real heir and knew nothing about secrets, so he very wisely took a stand and let Siqi go to you. 'It' did not bring any benefits this time, neither did you He exchanged the family history with Zhang Qiling, and did not make any hints. Instead, it aroused the vigilance of the Liang family. This operation can be said to have failed. Originally, all this could be passed peacefully..." Bai Tao looked at the family apologetically I continued, "Xiaojin, I'm sorry. It's just that I really can't let go of this opportunity..."

Bai Tao, who has always kept in touch with my family, sees a glimmer of hope in this matter.

After the incident at King Lu's tomb, I became the only person in my family who had formal contact with Zhang Qiling.

"Do you have the same feeling after fighting with him a few times? This man possesses many mysterious powers, which are beyond the scope of ordinary people's abilities. He seems to have a very important mission, but he is still struggling to find it. This is what Zhang Qiling gave me. And some characteristics of him have strengthened my judgment."

I interrupted: "The characteristics of the little brother? What characteristics?"

It's a unicorn tattoo, Bai Tao replied.

This kind of tattoo usually does not appear, but when the body temperature reaches a certain temperature, it will gradually emerge.Only the Miao people can blend the pigments of this tattoo, so this is a unique skill of the Miao people.

"According to your family's records, the young man from the Zhang family who found the patriarch's token moved to Guangxi with his family. That area is the area of ​​the Miao people. In addition, there are his fingers, as well as his understanding of ancient buildings and institutions. It is very certain that some of the knowledge he knew was only understood and mastered by the Liang family at that time. In addition, he also has the characteristics of longevity, and some symptoms such as amnesia, which are very consistent with the characteristics of the Zhang family. I even doubt that he is Liang Zixin many years ago. The young man who personally taught him!"

When Bai Tao talked about being excited, he couldn't help but clenched his fist and tapped the ground around him, and I was also deeply affected at this moment, and I couldn't help but feel my heart surging.

My goodness!

If the little brother can really live that long, then he knows my great-grandpa!Then do I have to call him Grandpa! ——No, this is not the most important thing.And what is the most important thing, it is hard for me to describe it for a while!

If this is really the case, then hasn't our family missed him again and again over the years!Are we still playing this "you find me, I find you" game until now?This feeling is really evil and cheating!

"For more than 1000 years, your family has been waiting for the Zhang family who can fulfill the agreement, but when he is clearly by your side, everyone hesitates. They just want to stick to things like tokens. But I don't want to Dare to gamble with the life and death of the whole family." Bai Tao's fingers went deep into his black hair, and he held it tightly, and once again he sighed deeply, "I really can't come up with any evidence... There is no evidence, Obviously he was by my side, but no one dared to believe it, and he himself forgot everything. I grew up in Liang's family these years, and I have long regarded it as my own home. I can't risk everything, What if I was wrong? What if everything was a trap? Many times I faced that person and almost said everything. But in the end I held back. At this moment, a small mistake may To ruin everyone, I really dare not do this—but for this mission, I have paid so much, if I let everything go away, how can I feel at ease..."

For a while, he began to mutter to himself, while firmly believing in his own judgment, he overthrew himself at the same time, his pale cheeks had a morbid blush, which made me feel that this person was fragile like a bewildered child.

I suddenly realized how cruel life was for this former Qi Yu.When he was very young, he left his parents and was sent to my house, and then he was brought up by the Liang family. From his heart, he must have regarded himself as the Liang family.

Before he knew it, he had made our family's mission his own.

For the family that brought him up, he really made too many sacrifices.I don’t know if my grandfather ever thought that a decision at that time would change the trajectory of a person’s life.

I took a soft breath and said to him softly: "Brother Baitao, you have done enough, it's okay to stop here, I believe no one will blame you."

Bai Tao raised his head and looked at me seriously.

For a moment, he was so pale that a faint smile appeared on his face: "No, I can't give up like this."

Even though Zhang Qiling himself has forgotten his mission, even though the Liang family is full of doubts and timidity towards everything, he still believes that as long as the truth is there, the people are still there, and as long as the opponents have not given up, one day everything will be alright. To be picked up again, and the person who picked up everything must not be our opponent!

"So I have to find a successor, someone who can keep this belief in my place."

Then he looked at me with a very serious expression.

Hey, I knew it wouldn't be a good thing.

I sighed.

What a monster...

Liang Jincheng, Liang Zixin, Bai Tao, people who seem to have intersected with the Zhang family all ended badly... I think this Bai Tao looks at me with the intention of confessing his last words, which suddenly makes me feel very stressed.

"Why are you so sure that I will inherit your ideas? What will you do with me if I quit?"

"impossible."

Because I've been dragged into the water.

"As I said just now, after King Lu's tomb, 'it' began to pay less attention to you, but after this exploration, you also came into contact with Zhang Qiling, so I quickly had an idea."

He needs me to get in touch with Zhang Qiling more and get to know him better. It would be best for me to trust him. Even if I don't, it will attract the attention of "it" and my family.You know, a person surnamed Liang's exploration of anything related to Zhang Qiling will have a great impact!What's more, after I got in touch with my brother, I appeared in the underwater tomb that is closely related to him.The muddy water that this move itself will stir up can knock all those who want to watch off the river bank.

"My idea is to arouse your and Wu Xie's interest first, and raise doubts about what happened in Wang Zanghai's tomb, and then guide Zhang Qiling to make you more interested in him. To achieve this effect, Of course I can’t do it alone.”

So at the very beginning of the underwater tomb incident, Bai Tao, or the former Qi Yu once again contacted his old "comrade in arms" Wu Sansheng.

In Xisha, a place full of conspiracy and danger, they struck a deal.

In his words: "I sold you."

After I heard the next story, I really fucking wanted to kneel down!

It turns out that the story of Xisha unfolded like this!

First of all, my brother received a notice from Aning's company to go to Xisha, and then Bai Tao, who has been in touch with my family, will naturally be asked for advice.What's more, he still has that relationship with my brother, so I told him everything in a leak-proof manner.They quickly judged that this was likely to be another trial, but this time they used Aning's company to complete it.At that time, there were two voices in my family, one was to refuse, and the other was to go and see what would happen.I don't know who made the final decision at the time, but I still let my brother go.Before my brother left, Bai Tao made a suggestion to him: Isn't Xiao Jin also on vacation, so let her go and have fun together.

I, the person who had nothing to do with everything, appeared in everyone's sight again.

Then Bai Tao approached Wu Sansheng.

He told Uncle Wu this way: "Do you remember our plan about your nephew? Let's do it again. But this time, we're going to make it bigger and let 'it' lose its way completely."

I don't know what plan Bai Tao is referring to about Wu Xie, and Bai Tao doesn't want to disclose his relationship with Wu Sansheng. It was the sacrifice contributed by the Liang family.

We will never inherit any secrets, but serve as the most dangerous pawns to confuse the enemy.

The plan begins.

Wu Sansheng first dragged my brother in Haidou, creating the illusion of disappearance.

And Aning's side was also arranged by Wu Sansheng, and all the information he left would point to a "perfect successor"-Wu Xie.On the other hand, Bai Tao tried to tamper with the information at my elder brother's hand, creating the illusion that my elder brother had studied Haidou with me, and let Aning's company find me naturally.

We entered the sea bucket according to their plan.

This time it seemed that God also wanted to help him.When everyone was not paying attention, the little brother actually disguised himself and got involved in order to retrieve his lost memory!This is no longer an act of "simple exploration by the Liang family". A person surnamed Liang and Zhang Qiling appeared in the cemetery twice at the same time, and there was also the nephew of the Wu family in the old nine sects. What kind of situation is this? Signal!

History will always repeat itself in unexpected places. Once again, these people gathered together. Wu Xie, me, and my brother formed a new Xisha expedition team and headed for the underwater tomb.

This kind of confluence made our opponents restless and achieved an effect that even Bai Tao could not imagine.

"You have almost retreaded our previous path. It seems that you have discovered some big secret. This time the operation can be said to be very successful."

"The success of the operation means that Wu Xie and I have been calculated thoroughly by you." I also began to feel helpless, "But I don't understand, Wu Sansheng's situation in this matter is very delicate? If it was really He fed you medicine, how can you still believe that he will cooperate with you? Don't you hate him?"

"Hate him? Why? Wu Sansheng was just being used 20 years ago. He has no malice towards me or others. If you always want to get entangled in personal grievances, then this game cannot continue. You have to remember , everything revolves around robbing and defending the ultimate, other things are no longer important. In this game of robbing the ultimate, in addition to achieving the goal, there are no permanent enemies or permanent friends, as long as you understand the rules With the minds of some people, then cooperation is not impossible. And this time, Wu Sansheng and I have a very solid cooperation foundation."

"What kind of cooperation foundation? So strong that he can drag his own nephew into trouble? Wu Xie is the only son in the Wu family, and he can be ruthless. What is the reason for this?" I was really confused by all these developments. I'm dizzy, these people's gameplay is too high-level, I really can't understand this kind of high-level game of intrigue!

Bai Tao hesitated for a moment, and then said to me: "Forget it, anyway, I have told you so much, and now my condition is still stable, so let me briefly explain it to you."

Old Nine Gates is in an awkward position in this fight for the ultimate.

The initial intervention was because several forces needed their power to dig out some clues hidden in the ancient tomb.These clues are divided into two parts. One is the ultimate record related to the Zhang family. The Zhang family has a very long history, so there will be information related to them scattered in ancient tombs everywhere.The other one is related to Wang Zanghai.After he escaped from Dongxia, he secretly sorted out his own experience and the ultimate part at hand, and buried them in different ancient cemeteries.

"We don't know why Wang Zanghai made such an arrangement, but your grandfather speculated that he probably attracted the attention of the Zhang family at the same time while cultivating his own descendants. Therefore, he had to hide the secrets he had. No matter what How, a lot of clues are buried in the ground, and the power of the old nine gates is very important in this respect. Originally, it was the Liang family who mastered the most comprehensive ancient architectural engineering skills, but almost all the scholars and masters in your family He was buried in the September [-] tragedy. The current Zhang family has long been disintegrated, and it is difficult to find even an orthodox descendant. Therefore, the task of exploring naturally falls on Lao Jiumen.

"Due to the fact that they were in the position of being used when they first intervened, and because 'it' is very powerful, many people in the Old Nine Gates are very passive. With actions time after time, they are getting closer to the secret of the ultimate. The more they got caught in it, and when they realized it, they were already stuck in the mud and could no longer get out. So the situation Wu Xie faced was actually very similar to yours. From the moment the Wu family was manipulated, they never quit Chances are they must continue to serve 'it' for as long as they are associated with this secret, generation after generation, without end."

"Generation after generation?" I frowned, and immediately understood, "It seems that the ultimate is really very attractive, and even the competition around it can be continuously passed down."

Bai Tao nodded and said with a wry smile: "It's like opening Pandora's box, and all people involved with it will be infected by the plague, and they can't escape except death." He pondered for a moment, then said, "But there will always be people Want to resist."

"You mean Wu Sansheng is one of them?"

Bai Tao asked back: "If it were you, if you were courageous and capable, would you want to give it a try?"

It seems that Bai Tao thinks highly of Uncle Wu's family.

I nodded while thinking: "I really will give it a try, otherwise it will be difficult for me to be at the mercy of others for the rest of my life - I understand, so it is actually a matter of time before Wu Xie enters this game. Anyway, someone has to inherit it. After Wu Sanxing, it is estimated that It's his turn."

"That's right," Bai Tao repeated softly, "Someone has to take over. So long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Getting him involved early and guiding him is much better than passively waiting to be manipulated. It can confuse our opponents. Wu Sansheng is very extraordinary, and I dare to cooperate with him because he has such courage."

That being said, I feel that this third uncle is still a cheat.

Hearing this, I involuntarily touched my chest where I had been stabbed, and remained silent.

Wu Xie, I really have a deep relationship with you.If I meet you later, I really have many, many stories to tell you.And I guess, it may be difficult for you to marry other girls in this life. Your life is so cheating, you can't poison someone else's innocent girl, can you?

Ah, why am I still thinking about this kind of thing!It turns out that love can make people's minds so dark, and others can't get what they can't get. Liang Xiaosan, you are such a sad person!

I asked myself to think more about things related to Wu Xie, and then I mustered up a little courage to ask Bai Tao.

"I know Wu Xie's condition now. What about me? What is my specific role to you?"

Bai Tao smiled slyly again.

"I need you to help Zhang Qiling recover his past memories. Even if he can't, I have to walk with him again and explore the past again. In this way, no matter whether he is Zhang Qiling or not, he will definitely have an answer in the process. Even if it turns out in the end He is not the heir of the Zhang family, so I can give up."

The author has something to say:

My God, I haven't finished writing yet!The process of filling the hole is really painful and joyful!

But this time it's going pretty fast.The information in these two chapters is a bit large, and I also sorted out some of my views on certain fragments of pen theft. If you have other ideas, welcome to discuss~
