Finale (Part 1) Chapter 18 Subverting previous speculations

"Please give me some advice, Third Master!"

"To put it simply, the Zhang family is a big family and must live outside Banai Village, probably in other provinces. If someone from the Zhang family dies, the burial custom will bring them to Banai, and there will inevitably be a meeting in Banai Village. There are outsiders appearing. There are two possibilities here. One is that the number of outsiders is very small, and the body is secretly wrapped and sneaked into the mountain for burial. The other is that the coffin or the body is very heavy, so the number of outsiders is relatively large, and it will be a Send a funeral team." I lit up my cigarette, "The former possibility is unlikely. In this deep mountain, a lot of supplies are needed to go back and forth. It is unrealistic for two or three people to carry a body into the mountain. And the second The possibility is much greater, but have you noticed that all these characteristics are very similar to the appearance of the archaeological team?"

Pan Zi patted his thigh and understood.

"My mother, you mean, that was not an archaeological team at all! **, the archaeological team back then were members of the Zhang family who came to the Zhang family building to pay their respects?"

I nodded: "We were prejudged by the name of the archaeological team. We always thought that if we were an archaeological team, we had to dig something out. But, maybe, when they came here, they didn't dig out anything at all."

Xiaohua nodded: "They are attending a funeral."

"But the Huo family is also among them." I said, "Is she the Zhang family?"

"No, no, no, let's think of it from scratch and combine all the information." Xiaohua said, "We know that the archaeological team had a very high standard and was even received by a certain top leader."

I said: "One person told me that the events of that year had a strong political atmosphere, which even reached the sky. The background behind it was extremely deep."

Xiaohua continued: "We all thought at first that they were looking for the ancient Zhang family building here and took something from it. The only clue was those iron blocks."

I said: "Now, we all know that they may not be bringing things out. They are sending things in. They are sending things in. There is Huo Ling in the procession, although Huo Ling is not named Zhang. But a big family is attending a funeral. , there will still be many compatriots with different surnames, so it is not impossible for Huo Ling to be among them."

Xiaohua and I were silent at the same time. My mind suddenly felt a little stiff. It was not confusion of thinking, but a stiffness of extremely clear thinking.

After a long time, Pan Zicai said: "Fuck them, I'm not interested in any of this. I just want to know, if your speculation is true, who did they send in?"

I shook my head, thinking that only the devil knows, it’s possible for anyone, and asked Xiao Huadao: "Zhang is the most popular surname in the world. Could it be Buddha Zhang?"

"This cannot be used as an inference. In that era, it was too easy to change a name. Everyone in the Laojiu Sect had at least a dozen aliases, and the last names of their group of people were almost never their original names.

Lord Zhang should obviously be related to the Zhang family. But according to what I know about them, it shouldn't be the case, and Aunt Huo Ling is not a thoughtful person in the old lady's mouth. If Lord Zhang was to be buried, the old lady should be there in person, instead of looking for a junior who is not particularly outstanding. "

I nodded, Xiaohua was very persuasive, and he added: "In addition, there is a very high possibility, that is, the 'dove occupying the magpie's nest'. The person who was sent in is probably not a descendant of the Zhang family. Maybe. Because the Zhang Family Ancient Building has some strange functions that we don’t know about, they sent the body in. That can also explain the third master’s problem from another direction.”

"Are you talking about why Huo Ling was in the funeral procession?"

"Compared with taking out the contents of an ancient tomb, it may be more difficult to send a corpse in. Assuming that the forces behind the joint tomb robbing activities of Laojiumen were also the forces behind the archaeological team in 1979, then What happened here in 1979 should be a continuation of the Laojiu Gate Incident. Unlike tomb robbing, which is simply destruction, enclosing an ancient tomb is like building a dojo in a snail shell. In this case, the requirements for the team are even higher. High. It’s not unusual for the new generation Huo Ling to be recruited here.”

I touched the sweat on my head and said to myself that this was a situation I had not expected at all.

"Of course, we are just speculating now. We have to go inside to determine what the facts are." Xiaohua said, "No matter what the truth is, it is obviously related to my predecessors. I suddenly understand why some of my predecessors have So many people suddenly want to wash their hands of the situation and rather than give up such a big business, they would rather let their children and grandchildren run small businesses. The water is too deep."

I knew he was talking about several families in Laojiumen, so I asked, "But aren't there many families that have been passed down?"

"The families that have been passed down all have very high-level backgrounds, and they probably can't help it." Xiao Hua said, "Compared to us poor bastards who are stuck in this circle and can't extricate themselves, Mr. Wu can set up such a The layout has whitewashed you, you are really not ordinary people. Although my grandfather Jie Jiuye has always been recognized as a wizard in the Laojiu Sect, in terms of courage, he is really not as good as Gou Wu."

Is it really? I listened to Xiaohua talking, and suddenly an inspiration flashed in my mind.

I didn't tell Xiaohua and the others a lot of things. They didn't know so many things that happened between Jie Lianhuan and my third uncle. Xiaohua said that my grandfather deliberately whitewashed his innocence. I always thought it was a very easy process, but he said After saying this, I suddenly realized that maybe I was thinking too simply.

First of all, there is the overall situation of my family. My father has two brothers, three brothers in total. My father is completely clean, my second uncle has half his foot inside and half his foot outside, and my third uncle is the inheritor. Everything, but he was self-taught and my grandfather didn’t teach him much.

Is such a structure really formed naturally? I thought that neither my third uncle nor my second uncle had any children, and only my father, who was completely innocent, gave birth to me. If, as Xiaohua said, that is the case - this is a silent agreement.

The third uncle entered the industry, and as the person who shouldered everything, the second uncle acted as a backup, weighing in secret, while my father completely quit. In this way, in the third uncle's generation, the mysterious pressure may not be so great, and then in the next generation, the mysterious pressure will not be so great. A generation ago, neither my third uncle nor my second uncle had children. In my generation, the Wu family's relationship with this mysterious pressure was completely cut off.

Thinking that this process was quite possible, I took a long puff of cigarette and said to myself, Third Uncle, I’m sorry for you, even though you have been transferred.

Yuncai invited us to eat at this time, and Xiaohua said to me: "No more chatting. Everything will be revealed in a few hours. If it fails, just ask our elders down below what's going on." To be finished Continued
