"Actually, in order not to cause harm to future generations, Xiaolong's grandfather wanted to hang himself as an apology for his family. But at this time, Xiaolong's grandfather discovered a very strange thing, which was brought out from Yanling That is to say, since the discovery of this thing, the whole thing has changed. Your grandfather chose to give up apologizing to explore the truth of the whole thing. Of course, Wu Yue, the ancestor of the Wu family, also made the same choice."

"What?" Da Zhuang asked impatiently.

My father glanced at me and said lightly, "I only know it's a piece of iron."

"Father, what do you mean, my grandpa didn't die at all that day?" I was a little puzzled, my family used to say the news of grandpa's death with certainty, why did my father say that grandpa didn't die?

Father didn't speak, and nodded after a while: "The only ones who knew about this at the time were Mr. Wu and your three uncles."

"Fourth Master, what next?" Bald Er asked cautiously.

"When your grandfather and Mr. Wu were investigating this piece of iron, they found that that piece of iron was the key to an ancient period." Father said this, thinking about it for a long time, and it seemed that he couldn't think of any other better words. Express.

"The key from ancient times?" Everyone asked almost in unison.

Father shook his head, with a very confused expression: "I told you exactly what Grandpa Xiaolong said. To be honest, I don't quite understand it."

"Fourth Master, what are we doing here?" A guy suddenly asked.

Father said: "25 years ago, that is, after more than ten years of investigation by Grandpa Xiaolong, he found that the iron block seemed to be related to a certain ethnic minority in Yunnan, so he came to Yunnan, but there has been no news since then. I am checking When your grandfather went down, he suddenly found out that the whole thing, even before the destruction of the Yanling Mausoleum, there was a person who was always involved in it."

"Who?" I asked.

"A Japanese named Kato!"

Da Zhuang was puzzled and said, "That's not right, fourth master, didn't the Japanese already get out of China after the founding of New China?"

The father sneered and said: "On the surface, they have left, but there are still many who secretly stayed behind with special identities."

Ah Fei suddenly realized: "Fourth Master, you mean a spy!?"

Father nodded: "Almost. This Kato was an associate researcher at the Changsha Archaeological Bureau before the Cultural Revolution. His Chinese name at the time was Teng Qingshan. The spy's sense of smell is not ordinary. He resigned when the Cultural Revolution was about to start. He got a job and became a teaching assistant in the Department of Marxist Philosophy of Hunan Normal University. Naturally, the hat of the Four Olds would not be worn on the head of a person who studies Marx, so he escaped the disaster openly. But his experience in China The main energy is devoted to the study of Yanling, although he did not directly participate in the destruction of Yanling, but he is very familiar with the whole thing. Twenty-five years ago, he came to Yunnan with your grandfather."

"So you want to find him, and then find out the whereabouts of grandpa?" I asked eagerly.

The father sighed, shook his head and said, "No, this person followed your grandfather and disappeared at the same time."

When my father said this, I felt that the monk Zhang Er was confused: "Since this person has also disappeared, why mention him?"

"He just disappeared, which doesn't mean he's dead. There are too few people who can come in this kind of place, let alone Japanese." Father said with great certainty: "I think Kato must still be alive. The route here He also revealed it to these Japanese people."

I suddenly understood what my father meant, and I was pleasantly surprised: "So, you want to find him? Not only does he know the whereabouts of my grandpa, but he even knows the whole process better than all of us. This is really a crucial character!"

"Impossible, you can count how old he is. Twenty-five years ago, he was only 25 or six years old, and now he is over 35. Such an old guy probably won't leave Japan." The father said helplessly. : "However, there is no—"

"Fourth Master, there is a light!" At this critical moment, a guy suddenly shouted.

Father stood up with a "huh": "Where?"

The guy pointed in the direction of the center of the basin: "It seems to be on that hill in the middle of the lake!"

"Can you see the light?"

"I can see it clearly. It's so dark that you can't even see a hair. It's very clear if there is a little light."

"Okay! Big guys, cheer me up, let's go right away!" Father waved his hand, and then changed into a diving suit: "Put on the clothes first, and I will swim there later."

Da Zhuang complained while changing his clothes: "Oh, it's a life-threatening job, and I have to go swimming in a small lake of unknown depth in the middle of the night. If there is something in it, I don't know how to die. "

To be honest, although I am not bad at water, I am still afraid of things in the water. I always feel that there will be some terrifying underwater monster watching you in the deep water!This feeling is more obvious especially in deep water.

There is a large amount of silt in the small basin, and there are large and small water surfaces in a mottled manner. In some places, bubbles can be seen emerging from the muddy water.The flashlight shone through, and a faint layer of mist could be seen. My father was shocked and asked everyone to cover their mouths and noses with wet cloths.However, everyone was gratified that as soon as everyone entered this wetland, a guy found the footprints left by the people in front, or the traces of trampling, and almost all the places where they settled were covered with vegetation.

That is, when I saw these footprints, I couldn't help but thump in my heart, swamp!The entire basin here is a swamp, and it is still a swamp containing miasma!Ah Fei immediately yelled, this is a swamp, let everyone be careful not to move around.But as soon as the voice fell, a gangster yelled, "I'm stuck! Oh my god, help me!! Come and pull me! Quick, quick..."

When I shouted over there, two guys stretched out their hands. In fact, this guy didn't go far, but he deviated from the safe route by less than two meters.The two of them tried their best to stop the downward trend. I took a closer look and found that the route everyone was taking was definitely a one-way street. They came here by stepping on grass shells all the way, so the only ones who could save the guy were those who were closest to him. Two people.

"Good brother, hurry up and try harder, I still can't pull out my foot! I still can't pull it out! Quick, quick!" The guy's legs were sunk in the mud, his face was ashen with fright, and he looked at the foot in fear. two people.

"Jianhua, hurry up! My feet are starting to sink in too!" one of the guys yelled a little at a loss!

"Brother, I'm sorry, I'm half-sinked! Brother, don't blame me! Brother, there's nothing you can do about it!" As he spoke, he tried to pry open the guy's finger: "Brother, let go, no? I don't want to save you!"

One person retreated, and the other retreated even faster. Before the guy could react, both of them let go!The body that had just stabilized began to sink slowly again, and in a blink of an eye it was already past the knees.Just when everyone was helpless and could only watch their companion slowly die, the guy suddenly exclaimed: "Hey, hey, stop! Stop! There are stones below! There are stones below! Hahaha, my God! Dead old man! Ha——" just halfway out of laughter, his face suddenly changed: "What the hell? I stepped on something!"

"Jianhua, what's the matter?" Ah Fei asked anxiously.

"Wait, wait." Jianhua bent down, and stretched an arm along his calf. After touching it a few times, he suddenly trembled all over his body, and said with a serious face, "Fourth Master, it's a human face!"

Seeing that this guy can still act so calmly, I can't help but secretly admire him, he really deserves to be a veteran of fighting, he can still be so calm when he steps on the face of a dead person, but it can still be seen that the fear in his heart Just being forced down.

Father said "hmm" and continued: "It's nothing strange. This is a swamp, and it's normal to have a dead person in it. Don't waste time, come up quickly."

Jianhua didn't care anymore, and slowly walked towards the safe route. It took more than ten minutes to walk less than two meters, and his anxious father couldn't do it.But just when Jianhua was about to climb up, he suddenly bent down again and touched the bottom. The touch was not tight, and he crawled out of it like a corpse, and his face was as white as snow when he came out. !

"Damn, what's wrong?!" Bald shouted.

Jianhua stared, and said with great effort: "Fourth, fourth master, the lower floor, all, all, are dead!"
