General Lan chuckled and said, "It's nothing much, just cooperating with each other." Previously, I told him that you were a key character in the tomb and that the brat didn't believe me, but now, he knows that I didn't lie to him! " He drank another cup, looking pleased with himself.
I suddenly understood. So this was the reason why Lin Ziqiang saved me in the tomb. But why did his attitude completely change after he disappeared? What had happened to him while he was missing?
When General Lan saw me lower my head in silence, he couldn't help but say, "Don't even think about it. There are too many mysteries on your body. We need to slowly solve them one by one. Now that you are so ignorant, it is useless to think about it.
I raised my head and stared into his eyes as I said word by word, "Just who are you?"
This General Lan is too bizarre, and even knows our family's secret history.
General Lan's face also straightened as he said, "You must be suspecting me. This is human nature as well. After all, we haven't known each other for long, but you'll know in the future that I'm not harming you." As for my identity, I have already told you. I am the true heir to the middle general, and I am not lying to you about that. However, there are some things in this tomb that I really want to see, so I need your help. Of course I won't harm you. "
The sincerity of his words made me doubt his words. Could it be that my doubts were wrong? However, one could tell from the old Daoist Priest that people in the Celestial Sect of Wonders couldn't figure out what they were thinking. No matter what, General Lan had to be on guard.
I asked in a low voice, "What is in the tomb that you want so much?"
General Lan smiled and said, "I don't want to. I just want to see. This thing is not something we can control." As General Lan said this, he couldn't help but reveal an expression of yearning.
I was curious to know what made him so eager, but no matter how hard I asked, he just smiled and drank without answering me. I had no choice but to give up.
General Lan saw that I stopped talking and smiled, "You don't have to ask! Let me ask you! "
I looked up at him, curious. He said unhurriedly, "This is your hometown after all. Do you know about the temple at the back of the mountain?"
I pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "I was still young at that time and couldn't remember some things clearly. However, I have some impression of those buddhist temples."
I don't know when this buddhist temple was built, but I've heard the old man in the village mention that there was originally no buddhist temple in the back mountain, but I don't know when a monk came by and said that it was a good place to study, so after it was built, in order to thank the villagers for their help, this big monk would go to that family and recite a scripture, saying that it could transcend the soul and ascend the extreme joy.
The villagers heard his determination, so they didn't refuse. As time passed, it became a habit to invite the monk to his house to recite a set of scriptures. The monk did not refuse, saying that he would not accept money in order to pay back his karma. At most, he would bring back some food.
So, during the disaster that year, people in the village would ask him to help them collect the corpses. However, sixteen years ago, this big monk also disappeared.
General Lan hurriedly asked, "Where is the locust tree?" Was it also planted by this monk? "
I shook my head and replied, "I'm not too sure about that. Those words were from the people in the village that I heard from them when I was young."
General Lan pondered slightly and said, "If that's the case, then this old monk is full of doubts as well."
It seemed that this old monk already knew that a huge change was about to happen in Hu Village, so he wanted to prepare for the rain and build this temple first. However, if this locust tree was planted a long time ago, why would there be such a huge change? If it was planted later, why did it wait until the feng shui had changed? Or could it be that the monk was also interested in the things in the tomb?
General Lan thought for a moment, then asked me, "Do you know anyone who knows more about the Buddhist temple at the back of the mountain?"
Hearing him ask this, I thought of a person and couldn't help but say, "I really do know him. When I first came back to pick up my Uncle Gao, he was quite familiar with the history of the village, right?"
General Lan was overjoyed. "Alright, then we'll go find him first." As he spoke, he was about to pay the bill and leave. I pulled him back. "Wait! I still have something to ask you."
General Lan could not break free, so he could only sit back down and helplessly say, "Why do you have so many questions? The blue cat is so naughty that it doesn't even have as many questions as you do."
I ignored him and asked, "Where is my father's corpse? Can you find it?"
Hearing my question, General Lan was also stunned. He rubbed his nose and said, "I forgot to tell you that your father's body is temporarily missing."
"What do you mean? Since my father was able to climb out of the freezer, he must have turned into a corpse. Aren't you guys from the Celestial Sect of Wonders? With so many methods, can't we find a Yin Corpse? "
My father is already dead, no matter what, everything that happened has vanished into thin air. Why does anyone have to be disrespectful to his corpse, even if he dies, he won't be able to live a peaceful life. As a son, how can I just watch my father suffer!
General Lan also felt my anger and solemnly said, "Of course there's a way, the new girl used a lot of Yin Seeking Talisman, it's useless, I even used a Corpse Drawing Talisman, the Yellow Springs Formation, let alone a Yin Corpse, I can even find a soul that has been dead for decades, but it's useless, your father is just like he doesn't exist in this world, how do you want us to find him?"
It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over me. The anger in my heart immediately turned into helplessness. I couldn't even find them, much less find a way out for them.
General Lan also saw my disappointment and comforted me in a low voice, "Don't worry, your father's transformation should have been orchestrated by someone from the shadows. I can sense someone masking your father's presence as I search for him. This must be related to the ancient tomb. As long as we watch the entrance, then he will not show himself.
I could only sigh helplessly. General Lan continued, "What we need to do now is to figure out the background of this monk from the back mountain. What does this have to do with the ancient tomb! "
Right now, everything seems to be shrouded in fog, making people feel that it isn't real. I don't have any good ideas, so I can only listen to General Lan first.
After settling the bill, General Lan told me to bring him to find Uncle Gao. I said, "It's already afternoon. The cars to the village downstairs have long since disappeared. Where should we go?" General Lan didn't say anything and just chuckled as he told me to wait here. Not long after that, a black Jetta drove over. I was a little surprised. "You can't steal this car, right?"
"Can you speak? What do you mean steal? I saved up money with great difficulty to buy this!" General Lan said angrily.
"So you're just going to buy a crappy car like that?" I thought it was funny.
"If you want to go up then go up, where did all this nonsense come from?" General Lan was trying to put on a brave front, but was trying to scare the enemy.
I stopped laughing at him and got into the car. Although the car was broken, it was still very comfortable to run in. I couldn't help but take a few more glances. General Lan saw my surprise and said complacently, "How is it? It's not that bad right?" Although it's a bit ugly, it still has some hidden meaning. " His tone was so despicable that it made others want to beat him up.
I smiled at him and said, "That's right. Is he like you?" General Lan was infuriated as he said, "Not only do I have connotations, I'm also handsome!" I stopped teasing him, closed my eyes, and stopped talking.
What did you last see in the tomb?" I asked. I don't have a lot of alcohol, but after drinking at noon, I'm still a bit confused. I immediately woke up when General Lan asked this. I couldn't help but hesitate. This General Lan's origins are mysterious. I've only known him for a day. Could it be that I wanted to tell him about this?
He also noticed my hesitation and said, "Is there anything that's inconvenient to say? Or did you see something unbelievable? "
"I saw my mother, lying in the last coffin. In the end, you even recovered your consciousness and gave me the last Yin Yang Eye! " After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to tell him the truth. After all, I am just an ordinary person without mana.
General Lan was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect to meet my mother in the end and couldn't help but ask, "Is your mother still alive, or is she just conscious?"
I didn't know how to answer, so I told him what I'd last seen.
"Motherly love!" General Lan sighed after listening to her words and spoke softly. There seemed to be infinite disappointment in his tone. My heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his childhood wasn't that great. We shared a similar situation and I couldn't help but ask, "You seem to be deeply moved?"
"It's nothing. I just remembered something from the past." General Lan said with a low voice, as if he did not want to continue the conversation.
I appropriately changed the topic and asked, "What did Lin Ziqiang meet after losing his relationship with me? Why did his attitude change so greatly?"
I don't mean that Lin Ziqiang didn't have a good attitude before he was separated, but he was just an ordinary person I had just met. Why did his attitude towards me change so drastically when we met again? Help me to escape, I have never been able to understand. Now, he took the opportunity to ask.
As General Lan was driving, he said, "Lin Ziqiang and I knew each other for a long time. Before you guys went down to the grave, I met with him and told him about you being the guardian of the tomb. Let him take care of you so you don't die in there. "
"Then why didn't he tell me the truth?" I said angrily.
General Lan smiled mockingly and said, "Who will blame you for your death?" I told you not to touch it. Do you think you're the main character on TV? "
After hearing the mockery in her words, some of my anger rose. I couldn't help but say, "This matter concerns my father's reputation. I naturally have to confirm if there was a mistake. If it was your father, what would you do?"
"You have no idea what my father looks like, and you have no right to say so." General Lan's tone was calm, but I could clearly hear a trace of resentment in his voice. He couldn't help but be taken aback. Could it be that there was a grudge between him and his father?
I didn't want to ask about other people's families, so I didn't say anything more. For a moment, the interior of the car was stuffy.
The Hu Family Village wasn't that far from the town. After half an hour's drive, we arrived at the village. When I got out of the car, General Lan had returned to his slovenly manner, laughing and talking nonsense with me. I didn't want to say much more, so I took him straight to Uncle Gao's house.
