Chapter Twenty-Three: The Shadow Lost


After Qi Lu was discharged from the hospital, Ding Xiaolan specially simmered soup to nourish his body.

Halfway through the meal, Qi Lu's mobile phone rang, and the caller ID was from Jiang Wenhao.

"Could it be that something bizarre happened again," Qi Lu muttered and answered the phone.

It seems that Qi Lu's sixth sense does have some benefits, and the professor asked him and Lao Wu to come to the museum on the phone, as if he needed Qi Lu's help when he encountered something in trouble.

"I'll go too."

Ding Xiaolan didn't want to stay alone in the company.

Qi Lu glanced at the sumptuous meal on the table, and said with a wry smile: "You better wait for us to come back, I don't want to eat overnight dishes." ” When he came to the professor's office, Qi Lu saw that he was wearing white gloves and holding a magnifying glass to look at the bronze ancient mirror.

Qi Lu couldn't help but sink in his heart, remembering the scene when he met Yanshi.

"Professor, what's going on?"

Jiang Wenhao handed the ancient mirror to Qi Lu with a calm face, and motioned for him to look at the back of the mirror.

Qi Lu was surprised to see that the red agate at the mirror button was gone, leaving only a pit with patina remaining.

"The agate was stolen" Qi Lu's heart sank, remembering that Yanshi said that this gem was given to him by Zhuhai to make a magic weapon that traveled through time and space, could it be that someone in the present world discovered this secret Jiang Wenhao shook his head and said, "I don't know, when the assistant handed it over to me today, the red agate was not on it."

I asked him, and he didn't even know that this ancient mirror had been set with gemstones. ” Qi Lu touched his chin with his hand and said, "It won't be your assistant who stole it out of his mind when he saw the wealth."

"He's a man of his own right, he shouldn't do such a thing."

Jiang Wenhao shook his head and told them what had happened.

Qi Lu and the professor did not come back for a long time after entering the cave, and the archaeological team members saw that the signal could not be reached with their mobile phones, so they hurried to look for them.

Later, the archaeological team members found Qi Lu and the professor fainting on the ground in the dark room that traveled through time and space, and immediately called the ambulance to send the two to the hospital for rescue.

Later, when cleaning the dark room, a team member found this ancient mirror in the corner, and found that there seemed to be a certain decoration missing from the mirror button, and everyone searched the dark room again, but they couldn't find the red agate.

At the same time, Jiang Wenhao also told Qi Lu a strange thing, that is, the archaeological team did not find the skeletons that attacked them in the dark room, and not even a single scattered human bone was found.

"So, those skeleton spirits who attacked you seized the mirror in order to get this red agate" Since the agate is not a member of the archaeological team to guard and steal it, Lao Wu put forward his own opinion.

Qi Lu agreed with Lao Wu's point of view, when they traveled to the era of King Mu of Zhou, they thought that the ancient mirror was lost, but in fact, the ancient mirror did not travel through time and space with them, but was left in that dark room.

Then it is further inferred that after they disappeared into the dark room, it is likely that the skeletons who remained in the dark room took the red agate and then mysteriously disappeared.

Thinking of this, Qi Lu's face looked a little gloomy, and he said his thoughts: "I don't think these skeletons have become demons, they are lifeless dead things. ” Lao Wu shook his head and said, "How can no life attack you, is there someone hiding behind and manipulating them?"

"Yes" Qi Lu replied loudly, and seeing that the two of them had doubts in their eyes, he said his own inference.

When Qi Lu was meeting with Jin Sanye, he noticed that there was a very small thing reflecting in the sunlight behind the young man who attacked Jin Sanye, and he thought of the inexplicable phenomenon that the young man attacked others very quickly, but the way he walked was very clumsy, Qi Lu judged that he had lost his will, but there was an invisible person behind him who manipulated him with a spell to attack.

So Qi Lu tried to use a lighter to force the black hand behind the scenes out, but to his surprise, the black hand did not appear, and the young man burned into ashes like a gasoline can.

Qi Lu didn't know the reason for the weirdness at the time, and it wasn't until after crossing the Zhou Dynasty that the Yanshi told him that the early puppets he had made needed to be pulled by gold threads to complete the corresponding work, and Qi Lu's doubts were cleared.

It turned out that at that time, Qi Lu remembered what the professor had said, that is, the large number of skeletons in the ancient tomb were tied to bronze pipes with gold threads, so that they could maintain a standing posture for more than two thousand years without falling.

Linking Yanshi's words with the strange things he had recently encountered, Qi Lu finally got the answer, that is, the young man and the skeleton in the cave were both controlled by someone with something similar to a golden thread, so he couldn't help but attack himself and the professor No wonder the young man's face was very dull, and he could not see a trace of anger, but he had the same expression as the puppet made by Yanshi, because at that time, he had long lost his sense of autonomy and became an emotionless killing machine.

After listening to Qi Lu's analysis, Jiang Wenhao sat down on the chair in a dejected manner and muttered, "Could it be that Yanshi traveled to our era to carry out the killing?"

Jiang Wenhao's worries were not unreasonable, Yanshi had this bronze mirror, and theoretically he could travel through time and space at any time, but Qi Lu shook his head and denied the professor's conjecture.

Seeing that Qi Lu didn't believe it, Jiang Wenhao took out some photos from the drawer and showed them to Qi Lu and Lao Wu.

"Professor, don't test me, these are all oracle bones, it's good that I can recognize a few words."

Qi Lu frowned as he looked at the ancient texts in the photo that had been deduced from a certain artifact.

Jiang Wenhao smiled and took out a piece of paper full of words and handed it to Qi Lu and said, "This is the text I translated today, you can take a look." ” After Qi Lu finished reading the words on the paper, his sword eyebrows furrowed even tighter, and he handed the paper to Lao Wu and asked the professor: "The translation will not be wrong, right?"

"There's absolutely no one wrong place, and don't forget that I'm an expert on oracles."

Qi Lu touched his nose embarrassedly, and after reading the translation, Lao Wu said: "This text describes the experience of Yanshi entering Beijing and Jin to meet Zhou Muwen, what do you want to explain?"

"I have checked the records about Yanshi in the column, and their contents are roughly the same."

Jiang Wenhao said: "They are the words engraved on the peeling bronze fragments of the tiger's head Fangzun, don't you think it is strange that such a record appears in the tomb of King Zhou?"

Lao Wu asked: "Do you mean that the supernatural events related to the ancient tomb are caused by Yanshi?"

Jiang Wenhao nodded, took out a handful of photos and translated paper and handed them to them.

This time, Qi Lu didn't have to guess the riddle, he could see from the photo that this was the text scribbled on the golden tiger head Fang Venerable after the fragments were peeled off.

But when he glanced at the content of the translation, he gasped.

Lao Wu also saw that these words were spells from ancient times, and they were a kind of lost spells that were strictly forbidden by the Protoss.

Jiang Wenhao said: "A regrettable thing happened today, when I went to the room where Fang Zun, the head of the golden tiger, was hidden with Director Zhu in the morning, these words on Fang Zun disappeared. ” Qi Lu asked in surprise: "Fang Zun hid it well, and no one touched it, how could the words disappear for no reason?"

"It's a bit of an inaccurate word to disappear, the text is written in some kind of paint that we haven't identified yet.

Originally, after the bronze shell covering it fell off, the text was damaged to a certain extent, coupled with my negligence, after Fang Zun excavated from the ancient tomb, he did not take relevant protective measures, and the already fragile text had a chemical reaction after contact with the air, causing the words to fall off Zun's body and fall to the ground into a pile of red powder.

When he said this, Jiang Wenhao felt very guilty.

Qi Lu comforted him and said, "Don't blame yourself, professor, no one can take all the details into account."

Besides, you had the foresight to take a picture of Fang Zun, don't we all see the content of the text now?"

Jiang Wenhao let out a long sigh and said softly: "Xiao Qi, I don't have much research on spells, can you help me decipher its true meaning?"

Qi Lu said with a solemn expression: "This is the ghoul resurrection technique, it is a forbidden technique sealed by the Kunlun gods. ” Seeing the puzzled expression on the professor's face, Qi Lu continued, "It is the same nature as the soul rejuvenation solid technique that the Yan master performed when we traveled to the Yanshi's house in the form of a living soul.

As long as the caster collects all the relevant supplies and then casts this spell, he or she can bring the dead back to life. ” Jiang Wenhao hurriedly said: "Doesn't this mean that the strange things we encountered were all done by Yanshi, who wanted to resurrect himself and realize his wish for immortality." ” "No, what Xiao Qi said is not entirely true.

I'm going to correct his mistakes.

Lao Wu opened his mouth slowly, "The ghoul resurrection technique does not resurrect the dead, but allows the cultivated monsters to gain a human body. ” Jiang Wenhao asked: "Since you can cultivate into refinement, you can change into an adult, what's the use of a human body?"

Lao Wu replied with a smile: "Professor, you are an expert in archaeology, and you don't know as much about yin and yang magic as I do."

The monster transforms into a human form, after all, it is a kind of illusion, and it does not mean that the monster is the same as a human, and his original form is still an animal. ” Qi Lu also recovered from his embarrassed expression, and he further explained: "If an animal wants to cultivate into an immortal, it must obtain a human body, because it only needs to suffer a heavenly tribulation to become an immortal with a human body.

If the youkai uses the Ghoul Resurrection Technique, it shortens the cultivation time, which is equivalent to taking a shortcut. ” "It seems that this spell is of little use to the Yanshi."

Jiang Wenhao muttered and asked, "Who is making trouble, gods?"

"The gods don't do such a thing, they don't have the need to use such spells.

I would also like to remind the professor that even if the gods can travel through time and space, they will not violate the precepts of the gods to change history, which will be damned. ” "You're saying we have yokai here?"

"It's a huge possibility."

Qi Lu nodded and said, "The reason why I ruled out the suspicion of Yanshi's crime is because he and we are just a meeting in Pingshui, and there is no reason to travel through time and space to kill us, or even want Jin Sanye's life." ” "Maybe his goal is not us, but to get the ancient mirror and that tiger head Fang Zun" Jiang Wenhao put forward another possibility.

"That's even more impossible, if he doesn't have the ancient mirror, how can he travel through time and space to find us" Qi Lu pointed out the misunderstanding in the professor's judgment.

Lao Wu suddenly interjected on the side and said, "Xiao Qi is right, no matter how powerful Yanshi is, it is impossible for him to make Xiao Qi so difficult to deal with.

But I have a different opinion, do you want to hear it?"

Qi Lu hurriedly asked, "Do you have any new insights?"

"All this is a good thing that the damn black cat did" Lao Wu said this with hatred, and the black cat bit him twice in a row, leaving scars on his hands to this day.

"No, I don't think it's hostile to us."

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke outside the door, and the voice was very soft, but it reached the ears of Qi Lu and the three of them very clearly: "Is this how you slander the gods behind your back?"
