Origin

This is a wide valley with very flat terrain. There are pebbles of different sizes everywhere in the valley. A small stream gurgling from the east side of the valley. In the middle of the valley stands a tall stone tower with the same shape as The pyramids in the West are very similar, but they are also fundamentally different. The pyramids in the West have eight sides, but the stone tower in front of you has only four sides. Each side is very regular in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

Due to the high temperature and high humidity in the valley, the stone tower is covered with thick moss and the entire stone tower is dark green.

There is a cave on the west side of the valley near the mountain. Outside the cave is a large stone mill. There are several old wooden barrels and tubs scattered around the stone mill, as well as some other debris. Gao Zhan must have lived there. The place.

Seeing that the stone tower was intact, Gao Zhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, we're here."

Wu Zhongyuan was observing the stone tower at this time. Hearing Gao Zhan's words, he just nodded without answering. The stone tower in the distance is very old, and ancient things always give people a mysterious and heavy feeling. , which makes people feel awe and at the same time give birth to the desire to explore.

"Sir, come and sit at home." Gao Zhan invited.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and followed Gao Zhan to the cave. The entrance of the cave where Gao Zhan lived was very regular and was obviously dug by man.

The space in the cave was much larger than Wu Zhongyuan imagined, covering hundreds of square meters. There were traces of chiseling on the four walls and the roof of the cave. There were some stone utensils in the cave, but most of them were damaged.

Gao Zhan was a sloppy man and had no habit of cleaning up. The cave was very messy and the smell was very strong.

"Only your family of three lives here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Gao Zhan asked.

"Is there anyone else?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Gao Zhan shook his head, "No."

Wu Zhongyuan did not ask any more questions. He turned around and left the cave. He walked to the stone mill and looked at it. Based on the size of the cave, it was easy to see that many people had lived here. The large stone mill outside the cave also indirectly supported this. Such a large stone mill The millstone can grind enough rice to feed dozens of people.

After stopping briefly near the millstone, Wu Zhongyuan walked towards the stone tower to the east. Not far away, he suddenly found a white stone on the ground. He bent down to pick it up and looked at it carefully. It was a piece of jade with very good texture. In modern terms, Excellent water mill seed material.

Jade is worthless at this time;

If in modern times this piece of jade could at least be exchanged for a car, but at this time it is worthless. The value of a thing sometimes does not depend on the thing itself, but more on the public's recognition of it.

While inspecting the jade, I accidentally discovered that there seemed to be a flat stone slab under the rocks. I threw away the jade and removed the pebbles above. The stone slab under the stone was revealed. The stone slab was large and thick, and it seemed to be from a stone road. part.

"There turned out to be a stone road leading to the tomb." Gao Zhan explained.

Hearing Gao Zhan's words, Wu Zhongyuan knew what he was saying, "How far is it from the Wolf Clan?"

"More than two hundred miles." Gao Zhan pointed to the southwest.

"Did the wolf clan originally live there, or did they move there later?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"I don't know." Gao Zhan shook his head.

"You are probably a member of the wolf tribe," Wu Zhongyuan said. "The cave where you live should be the place where the wolf tribe keeps vigil. Later, for some unknown reason, they left here."

"My mother never mentioned this to me, but I also suspected that I was from the wolf clan, but when I went to look for them, they were very repulsive to me," Gao Zhan said.

"What kind of exclusion method? Please tell me in detail." Wu Zhongyuan stood up and walked towards the stone tower.

Gao Zhan followed, "You just won't accept me, just drive me away."

"Have you told them what happened here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"I told you, but I didn't tell the leader," Gao Zhan said with a gloomy expression, "I only told Liu Gu."

"Is the sixth aunt a woman from the wolf tribe?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually. At this time, aunt is not necessarily a female elder. Many women will use this word as their name.

Gao Zhan nodded, "If I hadn't gotten along with it, I wouldn't have gone to join the wolf tribe. I would eat and drink well outside, and I would also have to watch their faces."

"What happened next?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.

"How can there be a future," Gao Zhan said with a sad face, "If the wolf clan doesn't want me, it can't follow me."

"Where did your spiritual energy cultivation come from? Who taught you how to practice qi?" Wu Zhongyuan walked up to the stone tower and measured the size of the stone tower. What Gao Zhan said before was true. The stone tower is indeed seven feet square. Looking up at the height, it should be the same. Seven feet, numbers have been paid attention to since ancient times. Nine is the king and seven is the princes. The construction of the stone tower follows the number seven, which should mean the princes. You must know that although the Wolf King is one of the eighteen warriors under the command of Fuxi Nuwa, He is also the king of the wolf clan.

While Wu Zhongyuan measured the size of the stone tower, Gao Zhan said, "My father taught me this, but I was still young at the time and didn't remember many Qi training formulas."

"Your mother doesn't know how to practice Qi?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Gao Zhan shook his head, "No."

"Didn't your father leave you any Qi training formula before he died?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan address his father as 'Your Majesty', Gao Zhan showed gratitude and said, "He is my son, and I can't give it to anyone else. But neither my mother nor I can read, and we can't understand the words on the bamboo board." Qi training formula.”

"Bamboo board? What bamboo board?" Wu Zhongyuan looked back at it.

Gao Zhan stretched out his right hand, "Two palm-sized bamboo boards with words engraved on them."

"Where's the bamboo board? Did you give it to Sixth Aunt?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Gao Zhan stared in shock.

Although Gao Zhan didn't answer, looking at its expression Wu Zhongyuan knew that he had guessed correctly. This guy had no experience and was tricked by someone using a beauty trap.

Gao Zhan realized in hindsight, "Sir, how did you know?"

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer its question, but asked, "When did you give the bamboo board to Liu Gu?"

"It's been a few years. I met Liu Gu not long after I went out. I was seriously injured at the time, but it saved me..."

"You are so obsessed with lust," Wu Zhongyuan frowned at it, "You haven't realized it after all these years? You were deceived. It is with the person who injured you. They are working together to plot against you. Just to deceive the qi training technique your father left for you."

"Sir, you don't know something. Sixth Aunt has a deep love for me..."

"Okay, okay, I just want to ask you, was it someone from the wolf tribe who injured you back then?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Gao Zhan frowned and remained silent.

"Okay, let me ask you again, has the wolf clan leader's spiritual energy cultivation improved by leaps and bounds since then?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

Gao Zhan still didn't answer and remained silent for a long time, saying to himself, "It doesn't seem like it's lying to me."

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly. Not everyone can stay awake, and not everyone's thinking is very clear. They still don't wake up after seeing Gao Zhan. Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Why is it such a coincidence that it appeared just after someone injured you? As the saying goes You show your courtesy for nothing, you are either a traitor or a thief, you are not handsome, your martial arts skills are poor, and you have no wealth, why do people like you?"

"Sir, how did you know that Sixth Aunt liked me first?" Gao Zhan looked surprised and admired.

"Because I have encountered similar things." Wu Zhongyuan looked at him again. Zhao Ying took the initiative to approach him that day, but he was calmer than Gao Zhan, so he became suspicious at that time.

"Sir, you are not very young, how come you have experienced so much?" Gao Zhan asked.

"Don't worry about my age or not, I have been a human being for three generations and I have never seen anything." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What does it mean to be a human being for three generations?" Gao Zhan didn't understand.

"Okay, okay, don't ask, you don't understand even if I tell you." Wu Zhongyuan couldn't explain to it the bizarre experience of traveling back and forth from ancient times to modern times.

Gao Zhan cowardly agreed, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, according to you, is Sixth Aunt really lying to me?"

Wu Zhongyuan was too lazy to pay attention to it, and looked up and observed around the stone tower.

He walked from the front, and Gao Zhan followed from behind, "If it is really lying to me, I have to get the bamboo board back."

"Then you have to pay it back," Wu Zhongyuan said angrily, "Don't ask for it, just bring a few knives and snacks to thank them."

"It lied to me, and I'm going to thank it?!" Gao Zhan glared.

"Yes, thank you for not killing you for lying to me about your qi training method," Wu Zhongyuan said.

Only then did Gao Zhan realize that Wu Zhongyuan was choking. He was heartbroken and angry, and followed Wu Zhongyuan with his head down.

"Okay, don't be angry. When I finish what I'm doing, I'll accompany you to the wolf clan." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

Gao Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked him repeatedly.

Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, then regained his strength and jumped to the top of the tower. He frowned after looking around. Oh no, this tomb has been disturbed. There is a hole in the upper area to the north...
