Chapter 49: The Man in Black
Lantern Festival hurriedly dodged, and I was not too lazy to bother with him. I remembered something and asked: "What's wrong with Tang Jian'an? Could it be that after your father passed away, someone in the Tang family continued to interfere in the ancient country of Shanhuan?"
Yuanxiao shook her head, "I don't know much about this, I just knew it. Did my uncle and the others take over what my father was doing during his lifetime? However," Yuanxiao thought for a while and said, "This is unlikely. All my father's information is with me, and I know my father's style of doing things. For such a secret matter, he will never leave a chance to let my uncle and the others interfere. Could it be that we thought too much? Maybe it was just a coincidence."
But in fact, I didn't think so. I said to Yuanxiao: "If it were only the last time when the Alimokeshuo statue, I might think it was just a coincidence, but with this time when the illusion jade cephalopod, I always feel that there is something strange behind it."
Yuanxiao also thought for a while and said, "Do you think anyone knows that we are here, so they deliberately sell these things here to give us a signal or hint to achieve some of their goals?"
"Impossible," I said, "this idea is a bit far-fetched. They don't have to do it, and it doesn't make any sense."
Yuanxiao frowned slightly, "Well, according to you, is there any possibility?"
I thought about it for a while and recalled my experience in Gurbantonggut. Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind. I said to Yuanxiao: "When we hear the Tang family, we will immediately focus on this, but I think the Tang family may not be the key to this matter. The key point lies in the man in black who sells illusion jade cervix!"
"Men in black?" Yuanxiao suddenly spoke, "I remember Lang Beile said that the person who sold him the statue of Alimokeshu was also a man in black. Do you think they were the same person?"
I nodded, "It's not that there is no such possibility! Moreover," I remembered a scene I had seen deep in the tomb of the Shanhuan King. I suddenly looked at Lantern Festival, "I remembered something! This matter was related to Wen Mo. I originally wanted to ask him, but later I forgot about my second uncle's disappearance! Now when I think about it, I have a strange feeling that these things do not seem to exist in isolation, and there seems to be some connection between them."
When Lanxiao heard me say this, she quickly urged, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly! How did you see Wenmo?"
I said softly: "I saw Wen Mo being slashed!"
"What!" Yuanxiao looked at me in disbelief, "Someone hurt Wenmo? Someone can hurt him? When did this happen? Why don't I know?"
I recalled it and said, "You still remember the deepest part of the King Shan Huan Tomb, which is the underground cave where the Spring of Life is located?"
"Of course I remember!" Yuanxiao nodded, "How could I forget that place!"
I continued, "It was there that a strange phenomenon occurred in the Fountain of Life. You were busy taking care of Uncle Tang, Shi Tao took care of Kong Xue who was excited, and Zhou Cheng was dead, so at that time Wen Mo came in from the entrance, and only I saw him."
After I reminded me, Yuanxiao thought about it and nodded, "After you said this, I remembered it. I did hear Wen Mo's voice at that time. I don't know why he didn't come up and knew that he only appeared later."
"Yes, that's right!" I clapped my hands, "Just as soon as Wen Mo entered the cave, he was stabbed by a man in black who suddenly appeared behind him. The two of them had a brief fight, and then Wen Mo chased him out."
Yuanxiao opened his eyes wide in surprise, "This person's skills are quite good!"
"That's right," I seemed to see the scene at that time again, "That knife can be described in four words, as fast as lightning!"
Yuanxiao looked at me. "What do you mean is the man in black who cut Wenmo and the man in black who shipped in Lang Beile and Cheng Xiazi's stores these two times are actually the same?"
I didn't answer the words of Lantern Festival, because the four words I just said "as fast as lightning" suddenly made another thought pass through my mind like lightning. In fact, I have had this idea before. From the ruins of the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom, we discovered the Tan family leader who died twenty years ago. He was killed by someone, and the Tan family female medicine man in the underground river channel. One of her hands was also cut off with one knife.
The murderer is obviously a master of sword use. Although Wen Mo has this ability, his age is wrong. When Tan Dadang and the female medicine man died, Wen Mo was still a child and he could not be the murderer. Another man in black who suddenly appeared, also a master of sword use, became the biggest suspect at present.
I suddenly felt that my mind was a little confused. From the current clues, I seemed to have done too many associations and guesses, but there was no conclusive evidence for all the thoughts. After I quickly ran around, I began to doubt the possibility of the result.
At this moment, Yuanxiao was unpredictable and sat aside and remained silent. This made me very curious. I walked over and took a photo of him, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Lantern Festival seemed to be in a daze, but I woke up after being shot by me. "I also remembered something."
I asked him, "What's the matter?"
Yuanxiao said with a serious expression: "Last time we came out of the ancient king's tomb of Shanhuan, we all forgot an important figure."
The words of Lantern Festival surprised me a little, "Important person? Who is it?"
Yuanxiao looked at me and said, "It's not surprising that you can't imagine this person, because you have never seen this person before, but I actually forgot about it. This person is Mr. Yue, who entered the ancient country of Shanhuan with us!"
"Mr. Yue?" I recalled carefully. Indeed, when I was in the Ancient King of Shanhuan, I did hear such a name.
Yuanxiao continued: "I don't know this person, I only know that he is the consultant invited by my father. Later, he got separated from us in the underground abyss. I always thought he was in danger. It seems that this is not the case!"
That's right! The character we really ignored, I signaled to continue. Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival continued: "Think about it, when we arrived at the underground cave where the Spring of Life is located, almost all the survivors of the Tang family team were in the main tomb of King Shan Huan and were killed by the bronze bird. The rest of us except Wen Mo were all in the cave. At that time, there could not be any other team in the ruins of the ancient Shan Huan Kingdom. Therefore, in addition to us, there were only two people left in the royal tomb, one was your second uncle, and the other was Mr. Yue!"
I admitted that Lantern Festival was good, so I said, "I can see at a glance the movements and figures of my second uncle. If it weren't for my second uncle, there would be only one person left, then this is Mr. Yue, who is the person who sneaked into Wen Mo behind him?"
Yuanxiao nodded, "It's probably that's it, but if you want to know the exact answer, you can only ask Wenmo except to find Mr. Yue."
I frowned, "It seems that this man in black who uses a knife has become the key!" I didn't expect that a man in black who suddenly appeared would mess up the water. The seemingly calm situation instantly became extremely complicated.
Yuanxiao and I were silent for a long time, and each sorted out the current clues and situations. We found many key fragments from the previous events. These fragments seemed to have some connection, but it was difficult for us to connect them. After a long time, I said, "Let's summarize the clues now and see if we can find a direction. At least before the next trouble comes to us, let's know where the trouble is."
Yuanxiao nodded, "You are right, but I'm in a mess now. Let me sort it out first, and you can tell me what you think."
I picked up a teacup and placed it on the table, "From the fact that the man in black attacked Wen Mo, we know that this person is probably Mr. Yue, although his motive for attacking Wen Mo is unknown. Moreover, he is a sword-user who is not inferior to Wen Mo. In modern society, people are simply rare. At the same time, the deaths of Tan Dajia and the Tan family's female medicine man were related to a sword-using master, so Mr. Yue is likely to have nothing to do with the entire army of the Tan family in Shanhuan ancient country twenty years ago." As he said that, I put a teacup representing the Tan family on the table.
I continued, "After your father's death, Mr. Yue needed to continue to find someone to cooperate for some reason, so he contacted other people in the Tang family, which should be your uncle. This explains why your uncle can intervene in the affairs of the ancient country of Shan Huan without the information from your father. The information should be provided by Mr. Yue. At the same time, he took a piece of illusion jade marrow in Panjiayuan through Tang Jian'an. Moreover, I have reason to believe that the statue of Arimokes in Lang Beile and the man in black who shipped in Panjiayuan these two times." As he said that, I placed another teacup on the table.
Looking at the three tea cups on the table, Yuanxiao and I were a little shocked. We didn't expect that after connecting these fragments, we could get such an incredible result. If we hadn't happened to know some clues, it would be difficult for us to connect these fragments, and the man in black who was hiding behind him, Mr. Yue, would have been difficult to find.
After watching it for a while, Yuanxiao reached out and picked up a teacup, "It seems that Mr. Yue is a key person. This person may have something to do with your second uncle's disappearance and the real cause of my father's death! He must have an important secret! I think we should find this person!"
