When I looked back at him, I was transfixed by a strange scene. Before my eyes, I saw the monster churning in the water and seemed to retreat a layer of mucosa. Just now, I was impressed that the big knife edge disappeared in an instant, but that fuzzy and chaotic intestine was still floating in the fish tank water.
"What is this?" I turned to Ryazan and asked.
Ryazan shrugged and said to me, "Don’t ask questions about the facts in front of you, Lord Pei Xi."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Then the monster suddenly interjected, "Twenty years ago … the old man’s cave … hissed … your father quit."
"The old man hole? What old man hole? "

Chapter 14 The Snake Story
——————————————————————————————————————
The cave for the elderly is a name for cliff burial cave by ethnic minorities. There is another saying that it is not beautiful.
It is said that in ancient times, people in the ancient kingdom lamented that the old snake regained its youthful posture after shedding its skin in the cave, but people didn’t do so. In ancient times, people made large-scale sacrifices (in ancient times, sacrificial ceremonies were often full of blood and violence) and begged the heaven that human beings could have such power. After several twists and turns, the heaven agreed to human demands, so when people were old, they would shed their old skin and regain their youth like snakes. This is probably the earliest saying in ancient China that people can’t die, but they also bring it with them. There are many disadvantages. The existing materials in Guyong country can’t increase the population sharply, so Guyong country becomes belligerent and finally unifies the south. So it still can’t meet the increasing population. Finally, for various reasons, people choose to give up immortality. This dream can be regarded as maintaining their balanced development.
When I thought of this, I looked at Jiang Daolin’s state again and couldn’t help exclaiming, "Have you been in the old man’s hole?"
The monster in the fish tank grunted two times, which seemed to be a wry smile. "That’s right … hiss …"
"Why do you want to go to a place like that?" I asked doubtfully. "Maybe the so-called immortality after entering the old man’s cave means becoming you …"
My words came to my mouth and I swallowed them, but Jiang Daolin in the fish tank said casually, "What have you become of me?" ….. Hiss … Ha ha … You this is what I want to see the result? "
"Then what are you going to do?" I asked
"Because this is an organization," Jiang Daolin said, and his button-like eyes seemed to burst out with a murderous look. "Your father … hissed … it was a very, very wise decision to choose to quit … hissed … but … hissed … I can become this picture mostly because of him."
When I heard this, my heart thumped and I was bent on saying that my father had it again? Although the kind father who used to be very familiar with me has gradually become strange in my heart after this series of strange events, no matter whether he is still my father after all, when I heard someone say this about him, I said out of the position of defending my father, "Don’t put everything on my father’s head. Didn’t you just say that my father has quit the organization? Then how can your father have anything?"
Another wry smile Jiang Daolin went on to say, "Don’t get me wrong … hiss … I didn’t want to blame your father … hiss … it was such a situation … hiss … no one thought of it."
"Another old story? Then let’s hear it. "I have gradually discovered that what I am doing is based on what my father has experienced under my nose. Everything that has happened has its roots, and this root lies in these 30 years. My father has had various experiences.
So Jiang Daolin briefly told me about the experience about 20 years ago, when my father had just joined the organization, and many of them were despised by mainstream historians. The theoretical organization department attracted the attention of many people. After my father’s trip to Yunnan, he immediately studied in ancient Yunnan, but his research was not limited to ancient Yunnan. He looked for all the ancient texts that were similar to ancient Yunnan, and soon he naturally discovered ancient Chinese texts. This does not mean the conclusions drawn from cultural textual research. Because the history of ancient Yunnan is much longer than that of ancient Yunnan, it attracted my father’s attention. There are two.
But at that time, my father didn’t take this insignificant discovery seriously. He didn’t expect that when the organizer learned the news, he immediately began to investigate Guyong, and my father was naturally arranged. Jiang Daolin was also selected for the team because of his skill.
The place where they explored was this dense original Shennongjia forest area. Jiang Daolin did not describe it too much, but I can already infer from his expression that they met many dangers. These dangers were extremely strange and horrible. Most of the original 12-member investigation team was damaged, and three people finally arrived at the old man cave in the hidden forest. At that time, Jiang Daolin was seriously injured and almost dead. Although the three of them did not believe that the old man cave could really make people live forever, even if it can be said that the magic of the old man cave has been eliminated by heaven, how can it work again? But there is no other way to die in the mountains and forests than to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so my father and another survivor carried Jiang Daolin into the hole designated by the organization for the elderly. No one knows what Jiang Daolin met in the hole, but when he walked out of the hole for the elderly that night, he became like this.
After that, my father returned to the northeast and quickly quit the organization, but his life has been closely watched since then. Another survivor saw Jiang Daolin’s appearance and was so scared that he fled to other places and disappeared from there.
"How did you live these twenty years?" After listening to Jiang Daolin’s narrative, I suddenly felt a little pity in my heart.
"I’ve become … hissing … I’m afraid that the sun can wet the place … hissing … I’m born." Here, there was a trace of despair in Jiang Daolin’s eyes. "I thought about suicide … hissing … but for one thing, I had an agreement with your father … and for another … I found myself and my roots would not die."
Although I have never experienced it, I deeply sympathize with Jiang Daolin’s experience. Obviously, living is a pain and dying is a relief.
There are often so many tragedies in people’s affairs that people regret. Some people spend a lot of money to live forever, while others try their best to die, which makes life miserable.
Although I thought so, I was a little curious and asked, "What kind of agreement did you have with my father?"
Jiang Daolin said, "Your father … hissed … promised me that when he got back, he would contact the organization immediately … hissed … and asked them to send someone to save me, so he asked me to set out at the foot of Shennongjia Mountain on the seventh day of every month to watch … hissed … Hehe, this guard has been popular for twenty years."
Jiang Daolin looked up at Liang Zan and said, "Until this little brother came to see me … hiss … brought your father’s message … hiss … The original organization had given me up … hiss … It was a failure for them to enter the old man’s cave … Hehe … I still kept the secret of the old man’s cave and looked forward to reporting to the organization in the future …"
"What secret?" I asked
"The secret language is used to describe that you won’t know until you see it yourself … hiss …" Jiang Daolin said, "If you promise me one thing … hiss … I will tell you how to get to the old man’s cave."
"What is it?"
"Kill me"
"This ….." I was speechless at the moment, but it wasn’t because of Jiang Daolin’s request that I was surprised. To be honest, I have guessed in my heart how to kill him with a ten * * key. Jiang Daolin just cut his belly with a knife and didn’t hurt himself. How can I kill him?
I couldn’t help but ask Liang Zan for help. I didn’t expect Liang Zan to say to me as if I had seen through my mind, "Don’t worry, I have a way to ask you to agree."
Want me to agree? ! I suddenly lost my heart. Liang Zan seems to mean that if I want to know the secret, he will have a way to kill Jiang Daolin. If I don’t want to know, Jiang Daolin can go like this forever.
Maybe this person’s life and death will be delivered to me in one sentence? For the first time in my life, I feel heavy in life.
I thought for a long time before I said to Jiang Daolin, "Jiang … Uncle Jiang, do you really, really have no regrets?"
Chapter 15 Shennongjia
Chapter 15 Shennongjia
————————————————————————————————————————
It’s hard for me to describe Jiang Dao’s death in words. It’s not that I’m stingy with pen and ink, but it’s really so painful. It can’t be clearly expressed in words. I can say that at that time, Jiang Daolin’s vitality was far stronger than I and Liang Zan had imagined before. Liang Zan seemed to have prepared sodium hydroxide long ago and was waiting for me today. After he sprinkled sodium hydroxide into the fish tank, Jiang Daolin’s white powder immediately reacted strongly. We almost watched Jiang Daolin burn a layer of skin alive and the whole fish tank for a while. Jiang Daolin became so turbid that he didn’t even have the strength to shout. He kept hissing in his throat, but Rao did. Jiang Daolin was still alive. So Liang Zan and I simply broke the fish tank and smuggled Jiang Daolin out to the sun for more than an hour, so Jiang Daolin finally stopped moving. Before he died, I rarely saw a smile on his mouth. It seems that I have been freed.
After Liang Zan and I disposed of Jiang Daolin’s body, Liang Zan quickly changed into the middle-aged man dressed up just now and said to me, "Let’s go to the hotel where you live now and then go directly to Shennongjia."
I looked at the sidewalk outside. "Are we going to enter Shennongjia late? It’s too dangerous to enter the original forest late at night. "
"My Lord Pei Xi" Ryazan laughed. "You are still so naive. Will you be safe when you enter the original forest during the day? We have been stared at by Qin Ye and his gang now, and we must enter the forest at night if we want to get rid of them as soon as possible. "
I looked at Liang Zan and nodded silently. Although I haven’t seen him for several months, I vaguely feel that Liang Zan’s mind has changed a little. When he was in Yunnan before, he was free and easy and full of nonsense. He changed a lot. Although his mouth was still smiling, his furrowed eyebrows made me feel that this trip to Shennongjia, Hubei Province was far more dangerous than that in Yunnan. However, I firmly believe that Liang Zan’s character will not panic about those wild ghosts in the mountains. I am afraid that the reason why he can be so serious is that Qin Ye and others follow people’s heart like a shadow.
Liang Zan and I said to me while walking to our hotel, "I noticed that you brought someone besides your girlfriend this time in Hubei?"
"Oh, that man is Gao Peng, an old friend of mine. I don’t want him to come here either, but he has to be persistent …"
Before I finished my words, Ryazan interrupted me and said, "Lord Pei Xi, do you remember the time when I went to Yunnan with you, that Liu Zhen? It was because of his good fortune that he didn’t die."
My heart is also very uncomfortable when I hear this, but I have to open my mouth to Liang Zan in the future. "I’m not talking about you, Lord Pei Xi. If you really want to bring someone, the former Liu Zhen is still a professional, and the person you brought this time is simply not reassuring than you."
As soon as I heard this, I was very upset and said, "I didn’t like it once when you said that. It was because I was not prepared. This time it was different. I came prepared."
"Are you the only one who checks those materials?" Liang Zan laughed heartily as he spoke. "Maybe what you are looking for is nowhere, but I’d better tell your friend face to face."
In a short time, Liang Zan and I arrived at the hotel where I stayed. As I expected, Gao Peng and Bujin returned to the hotel after the fire broke out.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that Bu Jin was sitting by the bed, and Gao Peng beside her had a dark face like an old man burning a boiler. At this time, he was talking with his mobile phone-call me.
As soon as my cell phone rang, Gao Peng turned around and found me walking and rushed to my face and scolded, "Where have you been just now? You’re still trapped in that tavern. You’ve been bothering me for a long time like nothing. "
I looked at Gao Peng’s dark face and couldn’t help laughing. "So you just went to the fire to save me?"
"Shit, there is no fire in the fire. It’s because the mother always smokes twenty packs of cigarettes without hurting her lungs!" At some point, Gao Peng suddenly found that there was a person around me and asked, "Hey? Who is this brother? "
I hurriedly came to introduce "Oh, this person is Liang Zan"
Ryazan nodded at Gao Peng with a knowing smile. "You are Peng Ye, please give me some advice after meeting for the first time."
This sentence can’t help but remind me of the scene when I met Liang Zan, but Gao Peng looked at Liang Zan with a blank face and looked at me again and said, "Boss, didn’t you tell me that Liang Zan was a male Lin Daiyu? He looked sick but handsome. It seems that your aesthetic level needs to be high."
"Don’t be ridiculous," I said. "He’s here in disguise. We’re going to Shennongjia tonight."
"Tonight?" Gao Peng was surprised. "Boss, have you figured out what we are going to do there?"
"Of course"
