"I'm sorry about this, it's a bit complicated to say, I really want to find you, but I didn't want to do it this way. I didn't know about Master Zhahe and the others before they lured you here. I wanted to wait for this. After the incident is over, I will find you in China through legal channels, and you should be the person I am looking for."

After John finished speaking, he also seemed to feel that the logic of his words was confusing, and he couldn't help sighing.

"Let me start again. Maybe you have time to listen to me tell a story? At this time, I don't want us to have disputes here, and the last person can't get out."

John admitted that he entered the country illegally, and he also brought armed men like Mange, such a dangerous person. Usually Jiang Siyin must be far away from him. He could only choose to hold back his anger and listen to him patiently.

"I don't know since when, I have been having the same dream over and over again."

"In the dream, I was walking in the forest, as if I was going to find someone, and I just woke up like this, but there was no result. This dream lasted for many years, and finally one day, it should be three or four years ago, It changed, I went from looking for someone to finally finding that person in my dream."

"I ran after him, grabbed the man's arm, and asked him why he left me, why he ran away with something, and abandoned his own brother. The man tried to explain something to me, but I was so angry that I couldn't listen. , I punched him directly, grabbed him by the collar, and told him that this would kill us both."

When Jiang Siyin heard this, he was almost unable to control his expression.

He barely suppressed his shock, and in the few seconds when John paused for a while, he finally couldn't help speaking.

"In the dream, you are also British?"

"Yes, I'm British. In dreams, in reality, it's all." John replied, looking at him with something meaningful in his eyes.

Jiang Siyin lowered his head to hide his gaffe, but he was a student after all. In front of the veterans like Mange, he was like a piece of transparent white paper. Everyone could see that the story John told had a great shock to Jiang Siyin.

"But the man didn't listen to me. He insisted on leaving. I couldn't stop him, so I could only watch him leave. Later, I was overtaken by a group of people who shot and killed me, and my dream woke up. This dream has been repeated over and over again for many years. I have taken sleeping pills and consulted a psychiatrist, but nothing has improved. Finally, I began to want to explore the source of the dream. I searched for forests in many parts of the world, and finally confirmed that it should be It's here, in Yunnan, China. That's why we meet here, my friends, to meet in this kind of place, I think we must be the destined person in the old Chinese saying."

After listening to John's narration, Jiang Siyin hadn't spoken yet, but He Shu spoke first.

"Oh my god! I'm so moved by what you said. Is that why you entered the country illegally?"

The exaggerated aria was matched with the unrelated yin and yang strange energy, which almost made Little Tian laugh out loud, she was so hung up on her situation that she quickly bit her lower lip to hold back the blurted laughter.

John blinked, as if he didn't understand his sarcasm.

"I heard that the forest management here is very strict, and no one is allowed to trespass the virgin forest area, but there are no restrictions in Myanmar. We enter from there with guns. There is no national border in the forest, and we may cross the border accidentally. Now, when we go out, if it is in China, I will go to complete all the formalities immediately, I am sorry!"

He said that there is indeed the truth. Myanmar is still in a state of civil war. Nominally, a gun license is required to hold a gun, but there are not a few people who hide guns. They often dare to take risks and cross the border from there. They are all desperate for drug trafficking. There are very few like John.

"This classmate, if I guessed correctly, you are also having that dream, right?"

John looked at Jiang Siyin.

Jiang Siyin nodded: "Yes, my dreams are similar to yours, the difference is—"

He hesitated, but still said: "The difference is that I am the one who was caught up and asked for something."

John's eyes glowed: "That thing, did you dream of a mirror?"

Jiang Siyin didn't speak, but his expression already answered the question.

John murmured: "Sure enough, sure enough! This is the guidance of God in the dark, and the two of us are going to meet after all. I think, we may have been brothers or close friends in our previous life, because this mirror is scattered, but in the end To meet again because of the mirror..."

"and many more!"

He Shu interrupted again annoyingly, he really couldn't stand the foreigner expressing his feelings in the protection of the bodyguards, and he was suspected of fooling Jiang Siyin.

"It's not because of you, we won't be here now, our clothes are soaking wet, we may catch a cold and get sick, you caught my friend, and you want to lower your head to him, and this innocent lady has become your meat ticket. , but now they say that friends are reunited, you might as well share the food and clean clothes first, and then talk slowly when we go out."

John smiled bitterly: "Sorry, it was Master Ne Win who caught them. They are not under my control. I just heard that I was coming here to find something, and I happened to be on the same road."

He turned and whispered something to Mange, then turned to face them again.

"I'll ask Mange to give you some food first. I don't have any dry clothes, and I'm completely soaked. We can find a way to build a fire and then leave here together."

Mange handed over the gun to his subordinates, came over with a backpack, and brought out a lot of food for them, including crispy noodles, individual military rations, etc., as well as unopened mineral water.

Guanghan picked up a bottle of mineral water, opened it, took a sip, and then handed it to He Shu.

Because of John's attitude and frankness, everyone reluctantly let go of their prejudices and sat together.

It was out of the question to make a fire, and it was so damp that finding those candles would have been an accident.

Everyone took off their coats one after another, wrung out the water, the man simply went shirtless, dried his body and put on his clothes, it was better than the water vapor continuing to be stuffed inside and getting sick, Little Tian was embarrassed, she was soaked all over, but couldn't Undress on the spot.

Seeing this, He Shu said, "Go change behind the stone statue, and I'll help you watch out."

Little Tian looked at Mange's mercenaries with hesitation on his face.

John also said: "Ma'am, don't worry, we won't have any malicious intentions."

Little Tian got up and walked behind the statue.

At this time, a man with an oriental face also came out from the shadow on the right side of the mountain temple.

"There is a side door at the back, but it was sealed. I tried it, but it couldn't be opened."

He said to John, glanced at the crowd, paused for a moment on Guang Han, nodded his head, and smiled slightly.

Guang Han did not respond, not even nodding his head.

He Shu leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Do you know him?"

Guang Han shook his head slightly.

He Shu understood that the other party only greeted the strongest people.

"Let me introduce. This is Nakamura, my friend. I have been searching here just now, and Hiroya has seen it. Others probably haven't." John said, "You Orientals should have a common language."

Nakamura said lightly: "I only have a common language with the strong."

John didn't get angry when he was slapped, as if he had gotten used to Nakamura's temper for a long time.

On the contrary, He Shu took it seriously: "That's right, I only have a common language with citizens who don't have US military bases."

Nakamura squinted his eyes, and for the first time looked at He Shu beside Guanghan.

In his opinion, the other party is like an inconspicuous weed attached to a towering tree. He may be a bit capable, but it will never make Nakamura look at him seriously until He Shu said this.

Nakamura snorted: "My friend, I hope your ability can be as hard as your mouth."

He Shu immediately responded: "I also hope that your knees will not be as soft as the prime minister of your country!"

As soon as this remark came out, Nakamura's face darkened immediately.

He overestimated his own patience and underestimated He Shu's ability to talk.

What kind of person is He Shu? He fights with Fengfeng every day and has rich experience in actual combat. What's more, Fengfeng once said that he tracked down a group of foreigners in the forest, and was chased by one of them with a paper bird. hold on.

Needless to say, he can put a paper bird shikigami. Among these people, there is only one Nakamura.

"New hatred" plus "old hatred", it's strange that He Shu doesn't hate Nakamura.

"Nakamura!"

Before the Onmyoji attacked, John spoke to comfort him.

"Right now we're all stuck here, arguing is useless, there's only cooperation and maybe we can get out."

What he said was the truth, and no one refuted it.

John added: "Let me give my opinion first. I think the presence of such a house in such a place, well, the Orientals may prefer to call it a temple, which is a very strange thing in itself, but it may be It's also the key to our departure..."

Before he finished speaking, Little Tian's exclamation came from behind the stone statue.

"There seems to be a word here!"

Everyone was shocked, and immediately went over with the lamp.

The stone statue is very old, and the face of the robe has long been blurred. Let alone what the deity looks like, it is impossible to tell which dynasty or generation it was left behind. Before He Shu and the others came, John chatted with Nakamura for a few words. I think this may have been left over from the end of the Qing Dynasty to before the Republic of China, because at that time, in order to avoid the war, it was very likely that small-scale villagers came here to live temporarily. As an emergency shelter, after all, if the water level hadn't risen, causing the bottom to collapse, and there might have been groundwater infiltration and other factors, no one would have been able to find it here.

But now, Little Tian actually said that there are words, which makes everyone excited, maybe the age of the stone statue is finalized, and what key clues can be found!

"right here!"

Little Tian's hand touched the protrusion between the foot and the leg of the stone statue, which was like the bottom of the robe, not facing the crowd, so he had to touch it with his hand to feel the uneven text marks, no wonder the other people just turned didn't notice it during a lap.

When Little Tian took off his trousers and twisted the water just now, he had to take off his shoes first, his standing was unstable, he needed to stretch out his hand to hold the stone statue, and he touched these words randomly.

Nakamura was very concerned about everything here. He first took the emergency light to look at it, and bent over to see it.

"Jianxing... thirteen years... the people respectfully stand..."

Nakamura thinks that he is an outlier in John and his team. He not only speaks Chinese very well, but even knows Chinese - although Mangozahe and the others can speak Chinese, they don't know Chinese characters, otherwise they would not see a missing "Japanese". The word "pig" made a fuss, thinking it was a curse.

But Rao was like this, Nakamura said every word, and it was very difficult to read it. After staring at it for a long time, he had to shake his head.

"The words at the back are too vague to be read at all."

He had to move out of the way and let He Shu and Guang Han go over to look at it. Everyone took turns to look around, and sure enough, they could only recognize the words Nakamura read.

"The thirteenth year of Jianxing, sounds like an era name for an ancient Chinese dynasty?" John wondered.

"It's the era name, but there are at least four or five dynasties in Chinese history that have this era name." In the period of the Three Kingdoms alone, two people used the era name Jianxing, namely Liu Houzhu of Shu Han, and Sun Liang, the last emperor of Soochow, and other dynasties such as the Western Jin Dynasty and the Later Chenghan Dynasty. Well, some may only be regarded as Local separatist regimes, they have also used the era name Jianxing."

A Japanese onmyoji who is so familiar with Chinese history, these era names can even be called unpopular for ordinary people, but he came here without hesitation. Jiang Siyin and Little Tian both showed surprise on their faces, but He Shu was in his heart. Secretly vigilant.

It's fine to say that he is biased, or that he has revenge. John just spent a lot of money to clean up his illegal entry, but it's hard to hide their purpose of looking for a mirror. If He Shu wants to stop him, he has no doubts. At that time, the two sides will clash. The guns in the hands of Mange's people are loaded with bullets. Under the ground of this virgin forest, no body can be found after death.

But on the surface, He Shu still pretended to be disapproving, and sneered at the aggressive general.

"After talking for a long time, you don't know when, you are still pretending to be an expert!"

Nakamura was indeed sullen.

"According to my speculation, this place is located in the southwest. In ancient times, it was the jurisdiction of Shu Han. Jianxing here should refer to Liu Shan, the queen of Shu Han!"
