”Third Uncle?”
After hearing Hai Yang's words, I was stunned for a moment. Then, I thought of Third Uncle's death and my face immediately changed!
My grandfather had a total of four disciples, the eldest disciple was my eldest uncle, and in the process of collecting jade, he fell down a cliff and died. The second disciple was my father, and he was not very angry.
Third Uncle's ability to gather jade was passed down through his grandfather's hands. When it came to our Chen Family in the jade circle, the old man was an outstanding figure, while Third Uncle was an expert in the Jade Picker. The Fourth Uncle was in charge of collecting jade, forming a chain that looked like flowing water, but what broke the balance was Third Uncle's death!
Third Uncle had a strange disease, his entire body was covered in black hair, and he died like a monster. Finally, he died at home, and Third Uncle's death reminded the old man of the Zimu Jade's curse, thinking that the curse had not ended yet, and it even involved Third Uncle, so he was more worried that it might affect me, which was why the old man went out frequently to look for a way to cure the curse. This gave Charles the opportunity to find the old man!
Fourth Uncle frowned as he thought of something. ”You said that Old Third's death is related to the Beastmen?”
Hai Yang nodded her head: ”There must be a connection, you guys think about it carefully, the Zimu Jade was brought here by the Emperor Jianwen, and other than the Zimu Jade, there are so many other Beastmen. Those Beastmen's characteristics are that their entire bodies are covered with black hair, just like barbarians.
I immediately understood. Swallowing my saliva, I asked, ”Are you saying that those beastmen are actually all humans? It's just that they were cursed by the Zimu Jade. That's why they became like that?”
Hai Yang slapped his thigh and said, ”That's right, Sanjin. You're finally f * cking smart for once, that's what I meant.”
I smacked my tongue. ”But that's not right. What does the bronze fox mask mean by that face of the Beastmen? And why are they all in jars? ”
Hai Yang couldn't figure it out either, so he waved his hand and said, ”How would I know? It must be the Emperor Jianwen's doing. Maybe it's some kind of evil technique.”
Big Nephew, think carefully. Why did Emperor Jianwen bring a Ancient Warship to the Wild Mountain? Because Zhu Yuanzhang had told him before that there were barbarians in the mountains with White Kingdom, if he wanted to revive, he had to get rid of the ones with White Kingdom first. Thus, he came here to invade and fight.
When Fourth Uncle said this, I understood and said in shock: ”You're saying that those beastmen were used by the Emperor Jianwen to invade the White Kingdom?”
Fourth Uncle nodded: ”Eighty to ninety percent!”
Hai Yang said, ”The problem now is, how does Emperor Jianwen know about these Beastmen? If these beastmen could be used for battle, why not use it to fight against Zhu Di? ”
Fourth Uncle frowned: ”I can only guess, when Emperor Jianwen escaped from the palace, he definitely met with some kind of accident, such as Zimu Jade, and knew that he was hit by the Zimu Jade's curse and became an Orc, which was why he brought the Zimu Jade to the Wild Mountain and let those cursed orcs to fight against the White Kingdom, and he definitely lost this battle as well, otherwise the coffin of Zhu Biao would not be on the Ancient Warship. Furthermore, I even suspect that the complete destruction of the White Kingdom was related to this war. This is where the Wild Mountain comes from! ”
After saying that, the Fourth Uncle was puzzled: ”But if the Zimu Jade's ability is to make people feel cursed, then why did the 1976 drilling team bring the Zimu Jade underground? Could it be that there is some sort of secret behind the Zimu Jade?”
Hai Yang suddenly said with her mind opened wide, ”Damn, I have another idea. Do you think those people who went missing in the Wild Mountain are still alive? ”F * ck, don't let them play mahjong when we get back. It would be so awkward!”
I knew this guy's mind was wandering again, so I didn't answer him. Instead, I went over the matter in my mind.
Although the Emperor Jianwen had failed, the secret of the Wild Mountain being able to resurrect a person must have remained on the Ancient Warship, until the war in Yunnan Province, when the Japanese tried to cross the Wild Mountain and sneak attack the Expeditionary Force, they found the Ancient Warship in the mountains. Furthermore, they found out about the Wild Mountain being able to revive a person from death, which was why the Sakyamuni Army was carrying the Sarcophagus here!
Then there was the disappearance of the British Maine Army and the Expeditionary Force and the Sakyamuni Army, followed by the disappearance of the drilling crew in 1976.
Thinking about the drill team, I remembered that only four people from the old man's group had left alive. Thus, I asked the Fourth Uncle, ”Zhu Yingqiong told us that the old man had followed the drill team back then, so there were three people who stayed as guards. The old man was the only one who came out alive, but what did the old man say that caused the other three people to not report this matter?”
Fourth Uncle furrowed his brows for a while, then let out a long sigh: ”I lied to you about this matter before and said that the old man was actually someone who was left behind to guard, and did not want to ruin the old man's image in your eyes back then. But now, I can't hide it anymore even if I wanted to.
”Can't be?”
I said in surprise, ”More than a hundred people went to the underground and only the old gramps survived. Could it be that the three people that were left to guard couldn't see it? I don't need to talk about the other two, but it's impossible for Charles to not ask me about what exactly happened. ”
However, the Fourth Uncle asked, ”Who told you that the old man was the only one who came out alive?”
