Chapter 125 Chapter Thirteen: Descendants of Maoshan

I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it in the room, and my stomach was already croaking, so I hid my things and went out.I originally wanted to go downstairs directly after leaving the door, but I thought it would be better to call someone, after all, this castle is not simple, and one more person would be helpful to take care of me.For the other three people, I just want to call Lao Ba or Xu Feng. Blue eyes always give me a bad feeling, and they yell even when the lights are off. Calling such a timid person will only be a burden.But having said that, I used to be as timid as him, but I still feel that my previous timidity is different from his. The blue-eyed ones seem to be timid with a guilty conscience.However, the honest old scar and blue eyes were together, so I had no choice but to call Xu Feng, he is a policeman after all, and he can deal with things if something happens.As I was walking past Blue-Eyes' room, I heard them talking, and out of curiosity I put my ear to the door.

"Are you sure it's him?" Old Scar asked hesitantly. "Absolutely. Although the appearance has changed so much and I haven't seen him for decades, the feeling is unmistakable!" Blue Eye insisted. "I think it's better to forget it. I'm really tired after going back to Medog all these years." Old Scar said helplessly. "Hmph, forget it, how could it be so easy! Why should we let him take all the things we worked hard to get!" Blue Eyes said bitterly, and his voice became high-pitched. "It's been so many years, can those things still be used? I don't want to use them anymore." Lao Ba spoke weakly, as if he had resigned to his fate and didn't want to struggle anymore.I also have this feeling deep in my heart, so I felt sore when I heard Lao Ba's words.

"Don't be so pessimistic, okay? Our decades of hard work will be in vain. It's all because of him. Don't you want to get everything back, or take revenge!?" Blue Eyes instigated. "I don't want to." Lao Ba replied very simply. "Do you want to fight with me again? Last time on the road, didn't you think you couldn't enjoy it? It seems that you are determined and beat me so hard. However, if it wasn't like this, we wouldn't If I met this group of people, I wouldn’t find it here, so I have to thank them.” "What are you thinking? After all, they saved us, so don't play their wrong ideas. If they hadn't met us in a car, we were already wounded all over our bodies after killing each other, how could we have escaped from Medog. "Old Scar said excitedly.

"You don't need to worry about this." Blue Eyes smiled again. I broke out in a cold sweat when I heard their conversation. Could it be that they... I didn't dare to continue eavesdropping, so I quietly retreated to my room.After returning to the room, the feeling of hunger in my stomach has disappeared, and my heart just keeps beating drums.I dug out the old newspaper from my body, looked carefully at the robbery news on it, and had a question in my heart: Are they the robbers mentioned in the newspaper? Blue Eye faked vomiting in the car last time. I thought about why he faked vomiting. I only thought it had something to do with the newspaper, but now it sounds like it might have something to do with the bank robbery news.Could it be that these two people are really the robbers who escaped back then? If so, we have to be careful everywhere, who knows if they will become wild.They seem to have an unknown past, but since they haven't provoked us yet, I won't expose them, maybe I got it wrong.

I carefully hid the newspaper, looked at the sheepskin notebook again, and started to panic again, every time I felt this, something must happen around me.I didn't intend to call anyone when I went out this time. I just went downstairs slowly by myself. The heavy snow outside didn't mean to stop, but it was getting bigger and bigger.The furnace of the old castle was still burning, and the flames inside were jumping crazily, but the heat could not be transmitted to every place in the old castle, it seemed that the flame was just an illusion.I remembered that the hunchbacked old man said that he wanted to prepare dinner with Yang Siyi, so he walked towards them.

This ancient castle is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the corridor on the first floor is also "S" shaped, which is exactly the same as the upstairs, but much longer than the upstairs.I originally thought it would be abrupt to walk in like this, but thinking about it, there are people living here anyway, so there shouldn't be any dangerous things happening.The corridor is at the end of the hall, but on the wall at this end, there seems to be a very vague stone carving.Because of the age, the depiction on this wall is hard to identify, but I still went up to have a look.It doesn't matter if you look at it, but you can see a famous person in the Central Plains in ancient times-Tao Hongjing!

I wondered in my heart, isn’t Tao Hongjing the founder of Maoshan School of Taoism? Why does his portrait appear in this ancient castle! ?There is a portrait of Tao Hongjing in our museum, but it is incredible to see it here.Tao Hongjing was a figure in the Southern Dynasties and an important figure of the Maoshan School of Taoism. Generally, those who still worship this ancestor are descendants of Maoshan, and they will worship this ancestor at home or in important places.Now, in the ancient castle in Tibet, this figure from the Central Plains period appeared. Could it be that this ancient castle is still haunted?

Remember, Tibetan Buddhism in Tibet was rarely influenced by the Buddhist culture of the Central Plains when Tibet first started to develop, let alone the Maoshan School of Taoism.The hunchbacked old man is the owner of this ancient castle, but because his face is full of scars and wrinkles, and his clothes are very tattered, it is difficult to tell whether he is a Tibetan or a Han Chinese. Could it be that this hunchbacked old man is a descendant of Maoshan?But if the hunchbacked old man was a descendant of Maoshan, then this decayed painting would not be corroded like this, and he would definitely take good care of it.At first, I thought the hunchbacked old man was from Monba, because the desk in the hall and the design of the castle are the characteristics of Monba.However, now that the first ancestor of Maoshan came out again, I really don't know who owns this nondescript old castle.

I walked carefully along the corridor and found that the butter lamps on the wall had some Maoshan school totems on them. There were many butter lamps in the corridor. The old man with a hunchback didn't light them all, but only lit one or two for people to see clearly the direction ahead.Many rooms on the first floor were also in ruins due to the cracks in the walls, so they were completely uninhabitable. No wonder the old man with a hunchback let us live on the second floor.I looked one by one, but I didn't find any trace of the kitchen, but I saw five coffins in a room at the "S"-shaped corner of the corridor!

It is bad luck to see a coffin in a place where people live, because it is for auspiciousness, so the coffin is called "official wealth".But I don't believe in superstition, so I went in boldly.The sheepskin notes found upstairs said that there was an ancient tomb under the castle, so there must be coffins in the tomb. Could these coffins be dug out from the ancient tomb below? I really didn’t expect that there would be five people in one ancient tomb. coffin. I pricked up my ears to listen to the movement in the corridor, and there was no man-made noise outside except the wind, so I swallowed and walked a little closer to the coffin.These five coffins are very special, they don't look like antiques, but they are a bit fresh, not at all like the coffins we found in ancient tombs.The strangest thing was that there were many stained marks on the coffin. When I looked closely, it seemed to be blood.I counted and found that only four of the five coffins were stained with blood, and the other one was clean.

I am an archaeologist, and I have seen a lot about coffins, so I pushed away the clean coffin without hesitation, but found that there was nothing inside, let alone bones.I pushed away the other four coffins one by one, but there were still bones inside.The strangest thing is that when I pushed away the last coffin, there were two skeletons inside!There are obviously five coffins here, why two people share one coffin, this is extremely rare, unless they are husband and wife.I examined the bones in this coffin carefully, and was surprised to find that both were male!
