"What's your name?" Zhang Liqun held a red-hot poker in one hand and pinched the old man's neck with the other, threatening him fiercely: "You are already old. You must be over eighty. Let's do it."
Don't make me do it!"
Faced with Zhang Liqun's threat, the old man remained calm and snorted: "Boy, is that all you have? I've worn out these tricks a long time ago, can you use some fresh ones?"
Zhang Liqun gritted his teeth with hatred and cursed: "How dare you call me a boy? How dare you act like an adult? Don't think that I will be merciful once you get older and let you taste the taste of charred skin and rotten flesh!"
After saying that, Zhang Liqun put the poker on his chest and burned it. He heard a scream of "ah" and immediately a smell of burning smell came.
I couldn't help but sweat for the old man. According to common sense, even a young man, let alone an old man, might not be able to bear this kind of torture. But I saw that although he was sweating all over his body, he was still in high spirits.
Still mighty and unyielding.
Zhang Liqun became even more furious when he saw this.
"Damn, you old bastard, you're quite capable of resisting!" As he said that, he threw the poker in his hand into the fire again, preparing for the second round of torture.
I looked at Zhang Liqun's behavior and couldn't bear it anymore. I pushed him away and stopped him: "That's enough. If you continue, someone will be killed!"
"Human life?" Zhang Liqun said disdainfully, "Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters, but a mere life is worthless!"
"You!" When I heard these words coming out of Zhang Liqun's mouth, I immediately became furious. Even though he was an elder, I directly punched him. "You act like an old man. I gave you face before so I didn't argue with you. You
It’s really hopeless!”
"You——" Zhang Liqun was punched to the ground by me, holding a red palm, but he dared not speak in anger.
At this time, Hu Bing heard the noise inside and led people in. He found Zhang Liqun already lying on the ground. Zhang Liqun was a good man and knew how to act according to the opportunity. When he saw Hu Bing coming, he immediately held on to his thigh and begged,
Said: "Boss Hu, you have to make the decision for me. This kid is so arrogant. He even beat me. I was only following your orders. He is offending you by treating me like this!"
"You—" I was so angry that it seemed that Zhang Liqun was not only ruthless, but also capable of maneuvering according to the wind.
"Lin Kun, what are you doing!" Hu Bing asked immediately when he saw this.
"Boss Hu, you have to make the decision for me. This guy has been plotting evil for a long time. Now we are just one step away from getting there, so we must beware of him!" Zhang Liqun continued to encourage.
"Listen to his nonsense. When did I have evil intentions?"
Hu Bing was extremely serious at this time and said coldly: "Stop talking, I don't want to listen to your nonsense now, I just want the results! Listen, no matter what means are used, I must know where to go before 12 o'clock tonight
Map of the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum!”
As he said that, Hu Bing glanced at me, as if he was apologizing for the tone in which he just spoke to me, and then said, "Come out with me!"
I don't understand why Hu Bing is so eager to know the secret, and has reached the point of using any means, but there is nothing I can do at this time, I can only follow her out.
Looking at Zhang Liqun's smug expression, I wanted to punch him again.
"I want to know why?" After going out, I asked eagerly in a secluded corner.
Hu Bing seemed to know that I would have this reaction. He first went down a step and apologized: "I'm sorry, it was my fault just now. Because there were outsiders here, I can only say this."
"That's not what I care about."
"I know you must hate me for allowing Zhang Liqun to use extraordinary measures, but what I want to tell you is that if we don't do this, the secret may never be known. At this point, I will not allow the success to fall short!"
"How do you know that other methods will not succeed!"
"He is alone, with no relatives or friends. In other words, in this world, he has nothing to worry about and nothing to miss. I can understand him. I have also experienced this kind of loneliness. Such a talent
It is the most terrifying one, so I must be more terrifying than him, penetrate its defenses in the fastest way, and never be merciful!"
When Hu Bing said this, I suddenly felt a little strange.
"You -" I choked and said, "You have become your original self again. You are no longer the little kitten in my arms!"
"I didn't, I was the kitten in your arms, but now I can't!" Hu Bing became a little anxious after hearing what I said, and quickly explained, it seems that I still have a lot of weight in her heart.
"But I feel strange!"
"Lin Kun, listen to me!" Hu Bing threw himself into my arms, "I know you are accusing me, and I know it will make you sad if I do this, but I have no choice. The family mission is all tied together.
, this is the final kick, I can’t give up!”
If I hadn't understood Hu Bing's mood, I might not have wanted to have any entanglement with her. But it was this sympathy and understanding that made me indulge Hu Bing again.
The evil in a person's heart is like a savage beast. Once it escapes from the fence, it will become unbridled and out of control.
There is no last time, only next time, and next time.
"Bingbing, you can't..." I softened my tone slightly and stopped being so tit-for-tat.
"No!" But Hu Bing's attitude became firm.
"Why?"
"I have made it very clear. I am begging you for this matter. No matter what, I will pry his mouth open!" Hu Bingbing said coldly.
I knew that I could no longer persuade her.
"Well, in that case, I won't say more, but Zhang Liqun's methods are really despicable. If you must know, then let me do it!"
Hu Bing looked me over and said, "What can you do?"
"Killing kills the heart, attacking the heart is the best!"
"Speak clearly!"
"You keep saying that naked people like him are the most terrifying. In fact, you are wrong. Lonely people also have weaknesses. They just pretend to be strong."
Hu Bing did not refute and continued to ask: "Where do you plan to start?"
"Just from the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum."
"Qin Emperor's Mausoleum? What are you going to do?"
"A tombkeeper who guards the Qin Mausoleum is not in the Qin Mausoleum. Why do you think it is? Well, you don't have to worry about what to do. I promise to give you the results you want. All you need to do now is to tell Zhang Liqun to stop immediately.
Hand, otherwise, everything will be over when the person dies."
Hu Bing finally listened to what I said. She called Zhang Liqun and told him to stop immediately. Then she said to me: "Lin Kun, it's not that I don't believe you, but I can only give you 2 hours. Once the time is up,
,do not blame me!"
I nodded, knowing that it would be extremely difficult to persuade Hu Bing. The only thing I could do was to get clues as soon as possible.
"Old sir, I don't want to embarrass you. What situation are you in now? I don't need to waste any more words. There is no need to suffer physical pain." I walked up to the old man.
Be there for patient advice.
The old man glanced at me and said mockingly: "You are a descendant of Yu Ling and you associate with thieves like them. I am really ashamed of Yu Ling!"
"Old sir, it is precisely because of this that I stand here and talk to you patiently. The people outside are ruthless and can do anything." I continued, "But I don't want to excuse myself. I want to
I want to do a business deal with you."
"Business? What kind of business can an old and dying person do?"
"Don't tell me, not only will you not die, but you will also live well."
"What do you want to say?" The old man looked at me in surprise and said, "Stop being mysterious, I won't say anything."
"Laozi said: Two begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. As a tribe that has protected the Qin Mausoleum for generations, where are your people?" I suddenly asked.
The reason why I asked this question was mainly because I saw him alone, and Zhang Liqun did indeed say that he was the last guardian of the mausoleum. But this is actually the biggest "taboo". The so-called unfilial piety is the most serious of the three.
Protecting the mausoleum is not the cause of one person, but the cause of several generations of a clan. Just like Lai Tianjiao, she desperately seeks a mate in order to reproduce, just to continue the blood of the clan. Therefore, he has no possibility of heirs.
Almost zero.
The old man looked at me in surprise, and finally opened his mouth and said, "I know you are not an ordinary person. There are some things I don't want to hide from you since you asked."
"I'm all ears."
"The old man's surname is Wu, and his name is Wu Zunyou. He also has a son named Wu Tie, who unfortunately died young. Now he is alone, surrounded by shadows."
"Mr. Wu, I have always had a doubt. Since you have been guarding the Qin Mausoleum for generations, why are you in this wilderness."
Wu Zunyou glanced at me and said: "Because of our mission, there is no safest place in the world. Even if we protect the Qin Mausoleum for generations, it is not the safest method after all, so we only protect the secrets of the Qin Mausoleum."
"What's the secret?"
Wu Zunyou sighed and said: "Map."
"Can you tell me?"
"If you want to get a complete map, you must collect the bronze decorations hidden in several other ancient tombs. These decorations can be pieced together to form a complete map. However, the map is only a representation. In the end, we need the drawing techniques mastered by our Wu family.
Draw a real map.”
"We have collected all the bronze decorations, all we need is your finishing touch."
Seeing my sincerity, Wu Zunyou couldn't bear to refuse directly, and said tactfully: "Since you told me directly, I don't want to beat around the bush. I am the guardian of the mausoleum. It is my duty, so how can I violate the teachings of my ancestors?"
"But the situation is different now. The Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is evidence buried by history. If it is not made public, the truth of history will never be revealed. You and your dead son will still be trapped in the trap of silence, unable to escape from generation to generation.
"
Wu Zunyou sighed and said: "Isn't it the same for you? If I compare my feelings with others, would you agree if it were you?"
I shook my head helplessly and said: "Mr. Wu, please believe me, this matter is very important to me. The people outside may be thinking about the treasure, but what I care about is the truth."
"Is the truth really that important?"
"You can say it's important, you can say it's not important, but before the matter comes to light, I must get to the bottom of it."
