Shen Yan was concentrating on studying a piece of rubbings that he found underground yesterday, and just as he got some clues, he heard someone knock on the door hastily.

Professor Shen didn't lift his head: "Go in."

"Captain Shen, there is a man named Shen Wu who claims to be from the Jin Ling Shen family looking for you."

Shen Yan's hand holding the magnifying glass paused for a moment, thought for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "Please."

Sure enough, he remembered correctly, that day Shen Wangyan brought five servants, one of them was this Shen Wu.Shen Wu didn't know what had happened, and when he met again, he was unshaven and embarrassed.His eyes were black and blue, his face was sallow, and he still had a peculiar smell on his body.Seeing Shen Yan, he knelt on the ground with a "boom", choked up in his mouth.

"Captain Shen, please save our young master!"

Shen Yan frowned, and stepped forward to help Shen Wu: "Speak slowly, what happened?"

Shen Wudao: "Didn't you arrange for us to go to Guyu Township that day? The car traveled for a while according to the navigation, and then stopped halfway, saying that the road below was not easy to drive, so the young master contacted the guide you arranged before at the intersection.I was anxious at the time, so I went there first for convenience. But when I came back, I saw the young master and the others walking forward without looking back, and they didn't listen to me.After walking for a while, I saw a desolate and deserted village..."

Shen Yan interrupted him, looking at the assistants on both sides: "You go out first."

All of a sudden, only Shen Yan and Shen Wu were left in the room. Just as Shen Wu was about to continue, Shen Yan took a "silent" gesture and observed at the door for a while to make sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then he closed the door and sat back.theme.

Shen Wudao: "I fainted after that day. I woke up this morning. I tried to find the young master and the others, but there was a thick miasma around and the visibility was very low. I searched for several hours but found nothing, and I couldn't contact the young master.them."

After hearing what he said, Shen Yan took out her mobile phone, and first dialed Shen Wangyan's number, the voice prompt was not in the service area.With a dignified face, Professor Shen turned the phone around in his hand, his eyes changed, and he made another call.This is the guide he contacted Shen Wangyan before, and this time the voice prompt directly said "The number you dialed is an empty number".

Picking up the microphone of the landline on the table, Professor Shen pressed the fast broadcast button: "It's me, help me find the guide in Guyu Township."

Shen Yan turned around and asked Shen Wu: "Think about it again, is there any other details?"

Shen Wu pondered for a long time.

Before he could think of anything, Shen Yan's phone rang first, and Professor Shen picked it up.

"It's weird, Captain Shen, I can't find the registration information from last time. I'll contact the Ya'an Police Station to check."

Shen Yan put down the phone.

Shen Wu: "I remembered, I could always hear some kind of bell sound that night, but I didn't wake up this morning."

...

If Jiang Ning was present, she would definitely say to Bao Le with regret, "Your peach blossom that hasn't bloomed just died like this." Bao Le could almost imagine her expression.She didn't know why she was still thinking so calmly at this moment, probably because she felt particularly safe behind Jun Zhizhi.

Bao Le is not stupid. She guessed that there must be someone behind the scenes in the princess's tomb. No one can do this more conveniently than the villagers of Guyu Township. She just can't be sure who is in the village.I didn't doubt Abu before, because Abu gave her a feeling of sunshine, which is very suitable for his youthful and lively age, and if he is behind the scenes, he is too young.

But Jiang Ning asked Jun Zhi to come with her at night, if it wasn't for the danger, how could Jun Zhi be needed.She had been thinking about this on the way here.The more she thinks about it, the more problems arise. For example, she clearly remembers that Abu came down from the mountain before they entered the mountain that day.And after sending them to Meiduo's house, Abu also disappeared for a whole day, which is very in line with the cycle time of a mechanism in the princess tomb.

She just didn't know why, he was still so young, why did he do these illegal things.

Abu looked at them coldly: "You don't think you can get out of this village alive, do you?"

Jun Zhi didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he raised his leg and kicked the table in front of him, and took Bao Le to the door while the other side avoided him.It's just that before they reached the door, a petite figure didn't avoid the table at all, but flipped over the table and stopped in front of them.The sixteen-year-old girl, Meiduo, was looking at them with cold eyes at the moment, like a poisonous snake, and she was completely different from the pretty girl before.

In front is Meiduo, behind is Abu and several other children, Bao Le and Jun Zhi are caught in the middle.

In a trance, a melodious bell sounded out of nowhere.It was a very weird ringing sound, not the sound of the collision of copper sheets or other metal objects, but the sound that could be transmitted farther and deeper, as if it was a dull ringing sound of wooden boards.

Bao Le has heard this voice.

Under the water in the secret room, when she was fighting with the water monkey, it was this sound that nearly exploded her brain.

Bao Le covered his ears and slowly bent down.The effect of this ringtone depends on the person. For Baole, who is not physically good, the effect is outstanding, and Jun Zhi can last a little longer.Before he felt uncomfortable, he quickly scanned the surrounding area, and managed to find the person who was hiding behind and poking the bell—Abu's mother.

Jun Zhi shifted his center of gravity back and took a jumping posture. Before everyone could react, he stepped behind Abu, cut Abu's mother's hands backwards with one hand, and locked her throat with his right hand and two fingers.

The string of bells fell to the ground again and again, and Bao Le immediately felt a lot more comfortable.

Abu was taken aback, he didn't expect this person to be so fast, but it wasn't a bad thing for him.I saw a smile of "the ticket is in his hands" showing on the corner of his mouth, he pulled out a shining machete from behind with his backhand, and slashed at Bao Le head-on.His goal was only Bao Le from the very beginning.

Bao Le's attention has been tense since just now, partly because of the headache, and partly because he saw Jun Zhi rushing out to "capture the thief first".She knows better than anyone how much she has, so she also knows that in such a situation, she must preemptively strike.The little girl took a step back, this step she didn't just take a step back, but went around in a circle.

When Jiang Ning gave her the whip, she taught her something.Because she is a rookie, she has no arm strength or wrist strength, so if she throws it straight, it will not have any power at all, and she may not even be able to throw it out.However, if she uses the shift of the center of gravity and the rotation of the waist and hips when she turns around, and then acts on her shoulders, and throws the whip out, even if she is not born with much strength, it will have a miraculous effect.

The barbed whip slashed hard on Abu's shoulder and pulled off a piece of flesh, and Baole's whip was soaked in blood.Bao Le felt a "thump" in her heart, and the whip came out of her hand. She closed her eyes and shrank back subconsciously.

But only for a second, she forced herself to open it again, now is not the time for her to close her eyes.

Abu was only slowed down by her whip, but he didn't stop because of it. He didn't even have time to react to the pain.Looking at the machete close at hand, Bao Le thought it was over.

Jun Zhi let go of Abu's mother who was holding him backwards, and pushed her in Abu's direction.

This seemed like a "hostage exchange, let's stop the war first" action, but Abramovich didn't give him face.Abu turned around and stabbed the woman who bumped into him in the abdomen, then raised his leg and kicked her several meters away, as if he thought she was cumbersome.Both Bao Le and Jun Zhi were dumbfounded by this set of operations.

But this trick is not completely useless, at least it bought time for Jun Zhi.After Abu finished disposing of his mother, Jun Zhi's heavy punch was close at hand.

Abu was sent flying against the wall. Judging from the cracks on the wall behind him, this move could keep him in the hospital for at least three months.But like a normal person, he came back to Jun's Hill.At the same time, there were also those children who came to celebrate Abu's birthday.Although they were children in size, they were ruthless and fierce in their strikes. They could punch a hole in the table and chair beside Bao Le.

Jun Zhi retreated all the way to protect Bao Le, and with his skill, he would not be at a disadvantage.

But they were all children after all, Jun Zhi turned the blade and knocked them down one by one with almost only the back and handle of the knife.The most difficult one was Abu, he was like crazy, he couldn't feel any pain, even if his left and right arms were removed by Junzhi, he could continue to attack them with a machete in his mouth.

For a while, even Jun Zhi felt that they were a bit difficult to deal with.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, it seemed that from the distant mountains and forests, the terrifying bell sounded again.But maybe because the ringtone was far away this time, even Bao Le didn't feel any discomfort.

Just when the bell rang, the people in the room seemed to have received some signal.Bao Le didn't even look at them anymore, rushed out the door, and ran into the mountains.

"what's the situation?"

Bao Le's legs were so weak that she almost fell, but fortunately Jun Zhi gave her a hand.

As expected, after "experienced in hundreds of battles", Bao Le admired herself for being so clear-headed now. If it were different before, she would have long since lost her knowledge of the north, south, east, and west, so she would be dizzy for a while.

Jun Zhi frowned, and picked up the bell that Abu's mother rang before from the ground.

This string of bells is not only familiar in sound, but also very familiar in appearance—isn’t it the bell that was engraved on the wall of the secret room given to the dwarf by the giant, and it is densely covered with strange totems.

"Ai Sang endorsed."

Jun Zhi spit out a few words.

Bao Le was dumbfounded, but she was not really interested in the bell.After all, they still have a person lying in bed now. Although this woman killed them before, she is a person after all. Bao Le wants to know if she can save her.But she didn't dare to go alone, and now she dared not leave Jun Zhi's side for half a step.

Jun Zhi put away the bell, and also turned his attention to the woman lying on the ground.

The two leaned over together.

Jun Zhi turned him around, and this turn almost caused Bao Le to die on the spot.

This woman was obviously stabbed from the front by her own son. Even if she died, there should be bleeding from the abdomen, and because she died not long ago, it is not terrible.But she never expected that after the corpse was turned over, judging from the face and skin exposed outside the clothes, it looked like a dried mummy, and there was no blood at all.

Now there is no need to be sure whether she can be rescued, if she can be saved, Xin Zhui can be resurrected.

Jun Zhi studied it for a while, and said, "It's been a long time since I died."

Bao Le cautiously: "How long?"

Jun Zhi got up: "About a hundred years."

Bao Le was shocked.

...

Shen Yan looked at the information in his hand with a very bad expression on his face.

"Professor Shen, what does this mean?" Shen Wu asked with some fear.

Shen Yan put down the information, pushed his glasses, and said calmly: "Guyu Township has always been located in a remote place with a small population.There is nothing wrong with the census alone, but if you look at the statistics, it turns out that since the 1953 census, the population size, population age, and male to female ratio are exactly the same every time."

Shen Wu swallowed: "So this explains?"

"Explain," Shen Yan propped his chin with his hands, and said while turning his pen, "Since 1953, the same group of people have been accepted for the census. They just changed their names and identities, but they have always...lived forever.Fifty or sixty years."

"...Is this science?" Shen Wu seemed to be listening to a scripture.

Shen Yan said: "There is nothing scientific or unscientific. You are from the Shen family, so you should know what a gift from heaven is."

Hearing what he said, Shen Wu stopped pretending to be stupid, and looked back at Shen Yan with a serious expression.Shen Yan is an outsider, Shen Wu thought he didn't know, but now that the words have been spoken, it doesn't make any sense to pretend to be stupid.

Seeing his face change, Shen Yan changed the topic: "If you know, then you should understand that there is a precedent in your Shen family for the matter of immortality."

"Okay, Professor Shen," Shen Wu said, "I'll tell you what I know, but please help rescue our young master."

Shen Yan put down her pen, and raised her head with burning eyes.
