Chapter 81 Mysterious Seal

Why is my dream exactly the same as what happened more than 20 years ago? Is this just a coincidence?

This discovery made my mind confused, and all kinds of strange phenomena poured into my mind again.

Uncle Kong did not notice that I was distracted, so he continued: "After we were rescued, a large avalanche occurred there. I heard that a large amount of snow almost buried the canyon. We couldn't go in again. Not long after, Tang Handong was transferred from the outpost and heard that he had discharged from the army early due to illness. I was also transferred to the military district because of my meritorious performance this time."

I remembered the strange camp and asked anxiously: "What happened later? Did you report it? Did you organize excavation and sorting work?"

When Uncle Kong heard my question, his face changed and nodded: "We did report the discovery of the ancient tomb, and the troops also cooperated with the archaeology and scientific research departments to carry out a large-scale excavation project. Moreover, unlike previous archaeological excavations, this excavation work is not only large in scale, but also highly confidential. It seems that the ancient tomb must be very extraordinary, and this project has lasted for many years."

I found that Uncle Kong was very vague, so I asked, "Where are you, Uncle Kong, you are not involved?"

Hearing me ask this, Kong Xue, who was standing beside her, looked up at me. She knew that I was asking questions knowingly, but she didn't say anything. It seemed that she also wanted to know what happened back then.

Uncle Kong did not rush to answer my question, but picked up the cup and drank water. I unexpectedly found that Uncle Kong's hand holding the cup was trembling constantly.

Uncle Kong calmed down and said, "I did participate in the archaeological excavation work that year. And I once saw a person in the archaeological camp. This person looked very similar to Huangshan in the past, but he just flashed by and never saw him again. Therefore, I couldn't tell whether it was him. The archaeological project eventually failed."

"Huangshan?" I thought for a moment, "Is it the one you saved in the avalanche?"

Uncle Kong nodded, "Yes. And this time I entered the mountain, it has a lot to do with that person." Uncle Kong paused and took a few deep breaths in a row. I saw that he seemed to be in a bad state, so he asked him if he wanted to take a break. Uncle Kong waved his hand and continued, "To be honest, this matter has been in my heart for twenty years. I have consulted a lot of information and never gave up on researching that ancient tomb. And just two nights before you and the Lantern Festival came to Xiaxia, when I returned to my bedroom, I suddenly found a note stuffed in the crack of the window, which said: If you want to know the secret of the ancient tomb back then, I came to Qilian Mountain to find me, and told me to be careful not to be followed. It is important to have to come alone. And I left a coordinate and meeting time. The signature of the note is Huangshan."

Kong Xue couldn't help but speak, "Dad! This is why you left without saying goodbye?"

Uncle Kong nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "I didn't expect you little guys to come up the mountain to find me!"

"Dad, have you seen the one named Huangshan?"

Uncle Kong sighed, "No, I didn't see this person until the end. I don't know why he broke the promise."

After Uncle Kong's story, we probably already know the matter, but there are still many details but it is still a mystery. I thought about it and asked a question that had been under my heart for a long time: "Uncle Kong, what happened to you in the archaeological camp back then?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this question, Uncle Kong, whose face was already a little relaxed, froze his expression. He looked straight at me, and I found that his eyes were filled with fear.

Uncle Kong reached out to the teacup in a daze, but as soon as he lifted it up, his hands trembled, and the teacup was thrown on the ground, and then he lay back, his breathing became very rapid, his face turned pale, and he was already unconscious.

Uncle Er, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up at first sight, reached forward and pinched Uncle Kong's people, then took out the acupuncture bag at his waist with one hand. We also hurriedly stepped forward to help. Uncle Er asked me to untie the acupuncture bag, then quickly pulled out two silver needles, pierced them into Uncle Kong's two acupuncture points like lightning, and then placed him flat on the sofa.

Soon, Uncle Kong's face returned to normal, and his breathing became much smoother, but he still did not wake up. Uncle Second reached out to take the pulse for Uncle Kong, frowned and said to Kong Xue: "Girl, I'm just temporarily controlling his condition. I think it's better to find a large hospital as soon as possible, and it's better to have a comprehensive examination."

Kong Xue nodded in a hurry and hurriedly ordered the guy to take Uncle Kong to the hospital. After the hospital examination, Uncle Kong's body did not find any problems. The doctor speculated that it was just because of excessive overdraft and suggested that he be hospitalized for observation. Although there were still too many mysteries in my mind that I had not solved, I could only keep it in my heart for the time being.

As Uncle Kong's condition stabilized, Shi Tao also rushed back. Moreover, the Kong family is a big family here, with many relatives, friends, and nanny at home. My second uncle and I no longer need to stay.

Later, Shi Tao told me that Yuanxiao and his father had already returned to Beijing, and they found nothing in search of Qilian Mountains. My second uncle and I also decided to take the closest flight back.

When I said goodbye at the airport that day, Kong Xue's eyes turned red, and I felt a little sad, but what can I do? I am an unemployed otaku and the eldest lady of the Kong family. If it weren't for this accident, we might be people from two worlds and would not have intersections.

I became cruel and turned around and boarded the plane with my second uncle.

On the plane, the second uncle smiled and patted my shoulder: "My eldest nephew has grown up and is already in love!"

I glared at him, "I said to me, "Uncle Second, if you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them. It's quite disgusting."

The second uncle laughed, "You are a heartbreaker, I won't care about you."

I was too lazy to pay attention to him and put on my headphones angrily. If he were not my second uncle, I really wanted to kick him.

After getting off the plane, I went back to my own home, and my second uncle went back to his pharmacy.

After staying at home with my parents for a few days, the warmth of the home quickly diluted those bad memories. Those mist monsters, guxins, giant snakes and the mysterious Nine Dragon Heavenly Coffin have been sealed into the depths of my memory. Maybe when I get old in the future, I can use them as capital for bragging x.

After a few days of family reunion, my dad was going out again because of business matters. My mom's superior unit had some problems, so I suddenly became much busy with work. And I almost lived a single otaku life.

I took out the wooden box I found in the ancient tomb. Although there was a small lock on it, it was already old. I slid it with a knife and broke it. When I opened the wooden box, it looked like a seal made of brass. Although it had been thousands of years, it was still as intact as before, and the surface was a little oxidized. I wiped it a little and immediately shone like new. I really don’t know what material it is.

The seal is not big, it is very detailed, with a ring-shaped hollow at the top, which is heavy and very touching in my hand, which makes me like it very much. There are eight seal characters carved on the seal, but I don’t know them at all, but I don’t care. As long as it’s not a swearing person, it’s fine. The wooden box is already a little decayed and thrown aside by me, but I carefully put the seal in my pocket.

After all the twists and turns in the ancient tomb, my mobile phone screen was broken like a spider web, and I couldn't call it. Fortunately, I could still turn on the phone. I quickly copied the important information inside, including photos, address books, text messages, etc. I opened the album casually, and several photos caught my attention. One was the statue of a horse-stepped snake that I took in the underground secret room of Kong Xue's house. The other was the sixteen skulls on the ground that Yuanxiao and I found in the canyon. The last one was the stone gate of the big fish with a sea view in the catacomb passage.

I think each of them is a mystery, but who can know what the answer is? I decided to ask for help from the universal Internet. I posted these photos in several forums related to archaeological enthusiasts and antique identification. I quickly responded. Most of the answers were similar to the statue of the horse-trapping snake. Everyone was used to the shape of the horse-trapping swallow. I was unanimously convinced that it was a modern imitation of crafts. I don’t agree with these answers. They have never seen it with their own eyes, and they cannot experience that feeling, and it is definitely not something that crafts can do.

As for the sixteen skulls, I think only one person's answer is very reliable. He said that the form of the sixteen skulls is very similar to the innate gossip, and it must have some ritual significance in it.

As for the third photo, there are many different opinions. I saw that there was no useful answer. I didn’t want to waste my time anymore. I quickly went out and bought a mobile phone, and then bought a lanyard to string the seal and put it on my neck.

When I got home, I sent the information of the original phone to my new phone. I accidentally saw the half text message sent to me by my second uncle. I couldn't help but wonder: What did the second uncle want to say in the second half of the sentence? I was so itchy that I was so curious that I hurriedly got my phone. After I hurriedly finished it, I called my second uncle. But what I didn't expect was: Hello, the phone you called has been turned off! sorry!%!¥#@!…%!@¥!@………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"I'll go! Why is this old man still shutting down the phone? I stopped doing business?" I was a little confused and called my second uncle's shop again. The guy who answered the phone told me that my second uncle hadn't been here for almost two or three days, and it seemed that he had gone out.

I put down the phone and felt a little confused. How could I not bring my phone with me when I went out, but why did I turn off my phone with me again? Nothing would happen.

Although I sometimes quarrel with my second uncle, my relationship with me is still quite deep. When my parents were busy with work when they were young, they would occasionally put me in my second uncle's place. So although our relationship is uncle and nephew, sometimes we are more like father and son, or like friends.

I think it might be that he was careless for a moment and didn't notice that the phone was out of power. So I didn't care much. But the next day, I called my uncle's phone again, but it was still in the state of shutdown. I kept calling until noon, but still couldn't contact my uncle. Now I felt a little panicked. I left a note for my parents, but didn't explain it to them, just said to go to my uncle's place to play for a few days. Then I packed up my things and got into the car to my hometown.

After getting off the car, I went straight to my second uncle's shop, but there was no sign of my second uncle there. The guys told me that my second uncle just said that he might have to go out the night before, but he didn't come again the next day. They didn't know where to go.

I took a taxi to my second uncle's house again. My second uncle has always lived alone. I had a marriage in the early years. In fact, I had a good impression of my second aunt back then. Every time I came, I would entertain me warmly. My second uncle and my second aunt never had any gaps between younger generations and elders. Unfortunately, my second uncle was not doing his job at that time and was not at home all day long. I don't know what he was trying to do every day. In the end, my second aunt left my second uncle. Every time I think of this, I sighed.

I have the keys for my second uncle's house. When I opened the door and went in, I saw that the house was quite neat. At least it looked like I was hijacked. I couldn't find any clues about my second uncle's trace for a while. Suddenly, a small light lit up attracted my attention. This was my second uncle's fax machine. I basically used my own home office and signed a contract with faxes. At the beginning, I chose the brand for him.
