Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

"Please enlighten me, Third Master!" "Let me put it simply. The Zhang family is a big family, and they must live outside Banai Village, probably in other provinces. If someone in the Zhang family dies, the custom of burial will bring them to Banai. There must be people in Banai Village. Outsiders appear. There are two possibilities here, one is that the number of outsiders is small and the corpse is secretly wrapped, and the other is that the coffin or corpse is very heavy and the number of outsiders is relatively large, or even a funeral procession.” I lit a cigarette, "The former possibility is not very likely. A lot of supplies are needed to go back and forth in this deep mountain. It is unrealistic for two or three people to carry a corpse into the mountain. However, all the characteristics of the second possibility , is too similar to the appearance of the archaeological team."

Pan Zi patted his thigh and understood. "My mother, you mean, that's not an archaeological team at all! Damn, the archaeological team back then was the members of the Zhang family who came to the ancient building of the Zhang family to mourn?" I nodded: "The name of the archaeological team is preconceived in our minds. We always think that the archaeological team must dig something out. But maybe they didn't come here to dig out something at all." Xiao Hua nodded: "They are attending a funeral." "But, Huo Ling is also among them." I said, "Is she from the Zhang family?"

"No, no, let's think about it from the beginning and combine all the materials." Xiao Hua said, "We know that the archaeological team's standards are very high, and they were even received by a certain state leader." I said: "Someone told me that the incident back then had a strong political atmosphere, and the background was so deep that it even reached the sky." Xiao Hua continued: "At the beginning, we all thought that they were looking for the ancient building of the Zhang family here and took something from it. The only clues are those iron blocks."

I said: "Now we all know that they may not be taking things out, but sending things in. They are delivering a funeral, and there is Huo Ling in the funeral procession. Huo Ling's surname is not Zhang, but the big family There will still be many people with different surnames during the funeral." Xiaohua and I were silent at the same time.My mind suddenly became a little stiff, it was not confusion of thinking, but the stiffness of extremely clear thinking. After a long time, Pan Zicai said: "Fuck their grandma, I'm not interested in any of this. I just want to know, if your speculation is true, who did they send in?"

I suppressed the surprise in my heart, shook my head and asked Xiaohua, "Zhang is the most common surname in the world, could it be Master Zhang?" "You can't use this as an inference. In that era, it was too easy to change your name. Everyone in the Old Nine Sect had at least a dozen aliases. The last names of those people were almost not their original names." Xiaohua said, " In addition, there is also a very big possibility, that is, "the dove occupies the dove's nest". The owner who was sent in may not be a descendant of the Zhang family. Maybe the ancient building of the Zhang family has some strange functions that we don't know, so They sent the corpse in, which can also explain the third master's problem from another aspect."

"You mean, why is Huo Ling in the funeral procession?" "It may be more difficult to send a corpse in than to take out the contents of an ancient tomb. Assuming that the behind-the-scenes forces behind the Old Nine Gates were also behind the archaeological team, then let Huo Ling's archaeological team take the corpse It is very likely that this force was sent into the ancient building of the Zhang family. One is pure destruction, and the other is like building a dojo in a snail shell. The latter has higher requirements for the team. It is not unusual for Huo Ling to appear here. "

I touched the sweat on my head and said to myself that this is really a situation that I didn't expect at all. "Of course, we're just speculating now. We can't be sure until we get inside." Xiao Hua said, "No matter what the truth is, it obviously has something to do with my previous generation. I suddenly understood why my previous generation would There are so many people who suddenly want to wash their hands, don’t want to give up such a big business, and would rather let their children and grandchildren start a small business than let them get involved in this industry again. The water is too deep.”

I know he's talking about me and the other companies in Laojiumen.I said: "But, isn't there still a lot of families that have been passed down?" "The few families that have been passed down all have very high-level backgrounds, and they are probably involuntary." Xiaohua said, "Compared to us poor people who are stuck in this circle and cannot extricate themselves, Master Wu can set up such a family. It’s really not ordinary people to whitewash you. Although my grandfather Xie Jiu has always been recognized as a genius by the old nine sects in terms of intelligence, but in terms of courage, he is really not as good as Gou Wu.”

Is it really?I heard Xiaohua talking, and some inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind.I didn't tell Xiao Hua about many things, they didn't know so many things that happened between Xie Lianhuan and my third uncle, Xiao Hua said that my grandpa deliberately whitewashed, I always thought it was an easy process, but he was so As soon as I said it, I suddenly realized that maybe I was thinking too simply. First of all, judging from the whole situation of my family, my father is three brothers, my father is completely whitewashed, the second uncle has one foot inside and one foot outside, and the third uncle inherited everything from grandpa. But he was self-taught and my grandpa didn't teach him much.

Is such a structure really formed naturally?It occurred to me that neither the third uncle nor the second uncle had any children, and only my father, who was completely cleansed, gave birth to me.If things are really as Xiaohua said, then this is a "silent agreement"-the third uncle enters this industry as the person who bears everything;In this way, in the third uncle's generation, the mysterious pressure may not be so great. In the next generation, my third uncle and second uncle will not have children, and the relationship between the Wu family and this mysterious pressure will be completely severed.

Come to think of it, this layout is also quite possible.I took a deep puff of the cigarette and said to myself, Uncle San, I'm sorry for you, even though you have already been dropped. Yun Cai, who came with Agui with us, came to greet us for dinner at this time, and Xiao Hua said to me: "Don't chat, everything will be revealed in a few hours. If it fails, then we can directly ask our elders below. What the hell is going on with them?"
