157 Deja Vu
The person in the photo is the young version of Fatty's grandfather. Judging from the photo, Fatty's grandfather was the groom in the team of Zhao Jianguo and Liu Qinghe. Judging from the photo, the team at that time did not seem to know the identity of Fatty's grandfather. In other words, it is very likely that Fatty's grandfather had sneaked into the team of Zhao Jianguo and Liu's family as a groom.
"It seems that this old man has experienced much more things here than he said himself." Yuan Tiandao said to me softly. Of course, Yuan Tiandao's subtext is undoubtedly telling me that since the fat man's grandfather concealed the facts, it is almost impossible to implement that the fat man is indeed very suspicious now.
"Not necessarily. At that time, the old man told me clearly that after seeing the team driving the corpse and that person entering the mountain, he had kept his promise and waited outside the snow mountain for three years. Three years later, he saw that person walking out of the snow mountain, and the person gave him an embroidered shoe as a souvenir. Maybe this photo was taken during the three years he was waiting outside the snow mountain. He was waiting for me to come back here, and happened to meet Liu Qinghe and Zhao Jianguo who were also going to enter the mountain. He was worried about the safety of that person, so he got involved in the team of Zhao and Liu families. This was also possible." I quickly explained to Yuan Tiandao that now he was clearing the suspicion of the old man's lying, and undoubtedly explaining to the fat man.
"The time is wrong. The time period he said was in the Republic of China. At that time, he was a half-aged child, and he was only a teenager. The entry of Zhao Jianguo and the Liu family to the snow-capped mountains occurred between 60 and 70 years. We can completely infer that from Zhao Wuji's age. And when you look at the person in the photo, he doesn't look like a young man in his teens or 20s." Yuan Tiandao said.
That's right, although the fat man's grandfather's face in the photo is not very real, it is obvious that he should be around fifty years old, and the years have eroded his face.
"If you say that, there are many things that don't match the timeline. You are at least seventy years old now, but you look very young, so I don't know what to call you. I don't know if you should call Big Brother or something." I said, I just wanted to think of a reason or excuse for the fat man. After saying that, I realized that I was wrong, because this might involve Yuan Tiandao's unwillingness to accept the recognition. I turned around and glanced at Yuan Tiandao. Sure enough, his face turned very ugly, but he did not get angry, but said softly: "So the Lama said that I was a person cursed by the evil spirit."
"I won't talk about this." I quickly changed the subject.
"But when it comes to the timeline, Zhao Jianguo's body shouldn't appear here. According to the fat man's grandfather, he followed the team to drive the corpse into the snow-capped mountains. Then he waited outside for three years and saw the person after seeing him. After separation, the person moved into the Jokhang Temple. Suppose he lived in the Jokhang Temple for a while, and then left the things in the room to Zhayi Lama. Zhayi Lama sealed the room until we came over. Zhao Jianguo went to Tibet to die here, which was ten to twenty years later than this incident. How did he come in and why did he die here?" I asked.
"Obviously I can't answer your question." Yuan Tiandao said with a wry smile.
I also smiled. Although the smile was very inappropriate, at this moment, I found that the little lama was staring at the photo in my hand. I followed his eyes and found that the location he was looking at was also in the corner of the photo, which was where the fat man's grandfather was. I looked at Yuan Tiandao and said, "The little lama seems to be very interested in the fat man's grandfather."
Yuan Tiandao asked the little lama, and the little lama answered very seriously. Yuan Tiandao asked another question, and the little lama also answered. After this sentence, Yuan Tiandao's face was full of confusion and shock. Judging from Yuan Tiandao's appearance of being unsuspecting to praise and criticism, it would be extremely difficult to understand if he could cause such a big fluctuation. I asked anxiously: "What's going on?"
"The little lama said he knew this person. He was Dad Dongyang who lives outside Lhasa City. And he said that Dad Dongyang has lived outside the city for many years, and many people here know him." Yuan Tiandao said.
"It seems that it's just a person who looks very similar, so I'll just say it." I breathed a sigh of relief. Fatty is my closest friend after all, and I really don't want him to have big doubts.
"Do you really think it just looks very similar?" Yuan Tiandao glared at me.
"You mean?!" I said in surprise.
"Let's talk about it when I go out. I originally thought that the person who went to the hospital to see the fat man was Aoki. Now it seems that things are not that simple. Don't worry about this. Look at the other things in it. I hope these things have not been taken away by the Liu family." Yuan Tiandao said.
I nodded and put the photos and matches into my pocket. Whether we believe it or not, at least it is his father's relics. As a temporary teammate, I should bring these things to him. If possible, I even wanted to take this mummy out of the Jokhang Temple. I searched Zhao Jianguo again, but I never found anything else. I stood up and took the flashlight to scan other places. I found something seemed to be piled up in the corner of the house behind Zhao Jianguo, square, like goods. The outside of these things was wrapped in felt, and the top was covered with dust. I walked over and took out a small dagger that I had been carrying close to my body, cut the rope tied to the felt, and then pulled the dusty felt open.
The dust choked and I couldn't open my eyes. I covered my mouth and nose and waited for the dust to settle down. Only then did I see clearly that this coffin wrapped in felt was actually a coffin. I was very familiar with the shape of this coffin. What I called familiarity was not that it was like an ordinary coffin, but that it was a coffin that was upside down. Seeing this coffin, I immediately thought of a person, covering Jiuyou.
In the past my grandfather told me, he said very clearly that after Gai Jiuyou retired, he went from a peerless master who was fighting for the world's number one to a sloppy old man. He also said that Gai Jiuyou lived in seclusion in the same place, not only used paper to make a ghost market in the living, but also built an upside down coffin day and night. Gai Jiuyou went from a martial arts master to a strange man in the Xuanmen. This is understandable. After all, he once made great achievements in both Buddhist and Taoist schools. Buddha did not pass me. Taoism had boundaries and I had boundaries. These all come from
The inverted coffin he made was said to have the effect of resurrection. In order to resurrect his wife, Liu Jingtang once stole the inverted coffin made by Gai Jiuyou for his sister. When my grandfather told this story, I was still thinking, even if a coffin was buckled upside down, wouldn’t he be buckled upside down? And what is the connection between the upside down and the resurrection of the coffin? If a coffin can be resurrected, wouldn’t it be easier for the carpenters in the world to make an upside down coffin?
It was not until the second uncle resurrected my grandfather with a mouthful of upside down coffin that I realized the extraordinaryness of the coffin. Although my mother Xiu'er's identity is unknown, it is also proof of the resurrection of the upside down coffin. But I never knew what the mystery of this upside down coffin was. Of course, this was definitely not easy to see through. When I knew the concept of immortality, I even had a bold assumption that building a coffin in Jiuyou was actually chasing a path to immortality.
But no matter what, I was surprised to see this thick inverted coffin with the Jiuyou logo at this time and here. I shouldn't be scared by a coffin now, but at this time, I still felt chilling when I stood in front of this coffin.
I looked back at Yuan Tiandao. I originally wanted to ask him if he wanted to open the coffin, but when I saw that the little lama seemed very scared at this time, he was so scared that he wanted to drill his head into Yuan Tiandao's arms.
Thinking of this little lama having a mysterious sense, or it could be said that it was the sixth sense, I immediately signaled Yuan Tiandao to ask why the little lama's coffin made him feel scared. However, after Yuan Tiandao asked, the little lama kept shaking his head desperately.
"Open?" I asked.
"Beat, you hold him first, I'll do it." Yuan Tiandao handed me the little lama. When I caught the little lama, I could feel the whole body of this psychic child trembling.
Yuan Tiandao walked forward and pressed one hand against one end of the coffin and exerted force. I heard a muffled sound from the coffin. The sound also scared me. Yuan Tiandao waved his hand and said, "It's just that the coffin's deed is broken, it's okay."
Yuan Tiandao pushed the coffin hard. When the coffin board opened a gap, a black shadow suddenly emerged from the coffin. Then I saw my hair, dense hair.
This scene is so familiar!
