Chapter 181 Death Telegram
"What does this mean?" I asked Zhao Wuji. Although I have seen this kind of telegraph machine on TV, I don't understand how it works at all.
"Someone is talking." Zhao Wuji said with a frown.
I suddenly felt creepy.
"Cousin, to say something you may not believe, Liu Qingyun and the others seemed to have used this telegraph to receive the signal deep in the snowy mountain, and thus know their true location. The telegraph was actually a communication tool at that time. It was a bit nonsense. There were living people in the place we were going to, and they were using the telegraph." Zhao Wuji smiled bitterly.
"This is impossible, how is this possible?" Zhao Wuji finished speaking, and Li Gouzi, who was standing next to him, muttered.
"What do you know?" I looked back at Li Gouzi and said.
"I have seen such a machine inside, but it happened countless years ago. And at that time, all the people next to this machine were dead! They were all mummies!" Li Gouzi said with wide eyes.
Li Gouzi has the most say in the deep snow mountain. After all, he has been in the deep snow mountain twice. However, after he finished speaking, Zhao Wuji and I looked at each other and felt that his statement was too nonsense. I asked, "When did you see such a machine, and those people next to you?"
"I remembered it. It was the second time that I had to pass through a canyon to that place. It was a gourd-shaped canyon. The first time I went in in a daze, but I could see the things around me clearly. The entrance to the canyon was very clean, and there was not even snow. The second time when I passed by with Jieshi, I saw the machine and the three mummies." After a pause, Li Gouzi smiled embarrassedly and continued: "At that time, there were still a lot of things on those corpses, and the food and use were very advanced. Jieshi and I took all their things."
"If I tell you, the mummies you mentioned will send telegrams. Those people before received signals from those mummies, and then they knew the exact location of that place, did you believe it?" Zhao Wuji looked at Li Gouzi and said.
"It's not surprising that anything happened in that place." Li Gouzi said with a wry smile.
I have instinctive alert and disgust towards this Li Gouzi. This is an indescribable feeling. This old man gives people a very gloomy feeling from beginning to end. After all, how smart Qingmu and Liu Qingyun are, they can be fooled by this Li Gouzi and almost lost in the snowy mountains.
I blinked at Zhao Wuji and said, "Can you play this kind of telegraph machine?"
"Actually, it's very simple. I've heard people talk about this before. It seems to be called the Morse Code. People who understand can translate these current bands into words, but I don't understand." Zhao Wuji said with his head scratching.
"I thought you understood!" I glared at Zhao Wuji. At this time, I remembered the note that the hand that reached into the tent threw in. It was obvious that after Liu Qingyun got the information from the telegraph, someone wanted to pass the information to us. The note was probably translated. However, it was too late to say anything now, and the note was gone. Yuan Tiandao, who had read the contents of the note, had also followed him.
I looked back at Li Gouzi, and Li Gouzi quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't understand. I can't even recognize many big words. How can I understand this thing?"
Looking at such a Li Gouzi, I once again fell into a situation where I didn’t know how to ask. First, the old man had too many doubts, and second, most of the time, I couldn’t hear the truth from the old man’s mouth. But in the current situation, I had to say something to the old man. If the telegram could not be cracked, I could only get the route to the mountain through this old man.
I thought of Yuan Tiandao's speculation. According to Yuan Tiandao's speculation, Li Gouzi and Fatty's grandfather's purpose is not that complicated. They wanted the Yin Soldier Tiger Talis to be a ghost king after they died. Looking at this uncomfortable old man, in order to get some information from this old man, in Yuan Tiandao's words, I knew his trump card. I walked up to hook his shoulder and said, "I actually know why you came back."
The old man's body trembled obviously, and he smiled and said, "I want to come back to save you."
"No, you came for the Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman. You threw the people from that team here. I originally decided to go to Luoyang to dig out the female corpse and get the Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman. As a result, you met your son and your old friend's old friend. I learned that the Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman is no longer in Luoyang, but in our hands, so you returned, right?" I said.
Li Gouzi looked up at me. He was no longer calm, but said with horror: "Do you know everything?"
I breathed a sigh of relief, tightened my hand holding his shoulder and said, "I forgot some things, but I still remember a lot of things."
——In order to shock this cunning old man, I must create an illusion for him. I am the illusion of that person back then. I found that this method will be very useful for Li Gouzi or Fatty Grandpa. They both seem to be respectful and afraid of the one I used to.
Li Gouzi trembled more and more violently. I just stared at him, and he also stared at me. After a while, Li Gouzi sighed and said, "I knew you would definitely come back."
I didn't expect Li Gouzi to become timid so soon. It seems that Yuan Tiandao's evaluation of him and the fat man's grandfather Liu Jieshi is correct. People like them are actually not very brave. The reason why they do some bold and reckless things is because of their greed. They have seen the special effect of the Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman, so they want to take it for themselves greedily and become a "ghost king". But they also know how dangerous this matter is, and they have also seen how powerful the "I" was back then. So every time I pretended to be the one I was back then, it was very useful, just like what Yuan Tiandao said when Aoki took away the shoe. My face was better than any token.
Compared to the fat man's grandfather Liu Jieshi, this Li Gouzi is obviously more scheming. When I heard him say this, a sneer came out on his face and said, "Why did you say that?"
"Because I realized that you were actually at a desperate situation, and you once told me that you were going to be a desperate situation. Although I don't know what you are going to do and what you call a desperate situation, I think that the difficult road you think is definitely not easy to walk, so I discussed with Jieshi later that you may be dead. If not, I would lend us the courage to go there, and we would not dare to go into the mountain again, and we would not dare to break our promises to you." Li Gouzi said.
——I looked at Li Gouzi, and from his fearful eyes, I could see that he should not lie at this time. My mind was turning quickly to analyze the cause and effect in his words. Through his words, the context of things that happened back then began to gradually become clearer.
As the young man said, the story told by the fat man's grandfather Liu Jieshi did not lie. Liu Jieshi and Li Gouzi did encounter a series of things in Shanghai. The person who directed this series of things was the platoon leader named Zhang. However, when the platoon leader of Zhang drove the corpse into the mountain, he unexpectedly met the me of that year. I rescued Li Gouzi and Niu Jieshi from the platoon leader of Zhang, and asked them not to tell the things in the snow-capped mountains, and could not enter the mountain again.
But in this process, the careful and greedy Li Gouzi realized that I might have to go on a path that year, a path that was almost dead. After the separation, Li Gouzi became greedy. He must be afraid of me, but he thought that the path that I was going to go back then was probably not working and would probably die. So he broke his promise and entered the mountain again, got the Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman, and then the following story came into being.
I can figure out these things, but I dare not imagine what I will next.
Why did the me back then feel desperate?
What does his so-called "devoting a lot" mean?
In a vague way, I had a rough answer in my mind, but I didn't dare to explore it in depth.
Every time I think about this problem, I feel extremely nervous.
"I don't want to pursue the past anymore. I need you to take me to that place once now. I have lost too many memories and need to find them back." I said.
Hearing me say this, Li Gouzi's face eased slightly, but he immediately said, "But if there were no Yin Soldier Tiger Talisman, we wouldn't be able to get to that place at all."
