Hearing Xiong Ming's words, he couldn't help but be shocked and asked hurriedly: "What? The last reminder given to you by the guy who kidnapped the old man was actually me?"

Xiong Ming nodded and said, "That's right!"

After saying that, Xiong Ming took out a photo from his pants pocket and handed it to me.

I took a look at the photo and found that it turned out to be a group photo of myself, Xiong Ming and Hou Dayong when they were young. In the photo, for some reason, Hou Dayong was made a cross with a red pen, while someone made a cross on me with a black pen.

Draw a circle on the head.

I looked at the photo for a while, then frowned and said slowly, "That guy gave this to you?"

Xiong Ming nodded and said, "Yes! It was tied to the neck of a big yellow dog and brought to me."

I said, "But how come this guy has this photo? I remember that only the three of us had this photo, right?"

Xiong Ming sighed: "I also want to know where this guy got this photo."

As Xiong Ming spoke, he reached out and took the photo back, turned it over in his hand, and then handed it to me again, saying: "What's strange is not just what just now, look at what this is? I thought about it for a long time.

I don’t even know what he means.”

I took the photo and glanced at the back. I saw a series of numbers written on it with a gel pen, "Two...seven...four...seven...seven...six..."

I almost screamed in surprise and shouted: "It's this string of numbers again!"

Xiong Ming saw that I was so surprised and asked hurriedly: "What? Do you also know these numbers?"

I nodded yes.

Xiong Ming asked hurriedly: "Then what do these numbers mean?"

At this moment, Hua Muling, who had been silent beside her, suddenly said: "It is the last six digits of a confidential file number."

Xiong Ming looked at Hua Muling in surprise and asked, "Confidential files? What are the contents of the confidential files?"

Hua Muling replied: "The content of the file is about a covert operation of the Japanese invasion of China in 1943."

Xiong Ming asked: "So, you have already obtained the confidential file?"

Hua Muling nodded, and then took a yellowed kraft paper bag from the table on the side. The words "Secret Files Department of xx Bureau, Time: 1976..." were written on the bag in white paper.

Hua Muling handed the confidential file to my hand and said, "I have already read through this file in general, now you have a look! See if you can find any clues in it."

I nodded without saying anything, but reached out and took the file bag. Then, I deftly bypassed the white thread wrapped around the brown paper bag, pulled out the confidential file from it, and started reading it carefully.

.

"The incident recorded in the confidential file is that one day in June 1943, a commander named Muto Juno of the 763rd Group Army of the Japanese invading army stationed in Guizhou accidentally captured a gold-touching captain and killed him.

A human skin map with a large tomb from the Tang Dynasty and a white jade official seal of the Four Beasts were found on his body.

Juno Muto knows the history of China very well and is a real China expert. After carefully studying the human skin map and the official seal, he discovered that the large tomb recorded on the map had disappeared for nearly a thousand years.

It is related to the Fountain of Youth in Nanzhao Kingdom, and the white jade seals of the Four Beasts are the key to unlocking the underground palace.

Therefore, Muto Juno immediately ordered the establishment of an infantry squadron with special functions based on the original military organization, named the Seventh Squadron.

The seventh squadron has a total of 274 people. It is based on the original 154-person squadron, adding 90 engineers and two 15-person artillery squads. It is also equipped with a 70mm Type 92 infantry gun.

.The main task of this seventh squadron is to follow the route on the map and enter Songtao Mountain in Guizhou to excavate the tomb of the Tang Dynasty.

One month later, the establishment of the 7th Squadron was completed. As the supreme commander, Juno Muto personally commanded the 7th Squadron and coerced the Captain Mojin to lead the way.

Captain Mojin originally didn’t want to lead the way for Muto Juno, but Muto Juno’s methods were very cruel. Captain Mojin couldn’t resist, so he had to lead the way into Songtao Mountain..."

I quickly flipped through the dossier page by page, but what made me feel strange was that the confidential document suddenly broke off when I saw it, and several pages in the middle were taken away by someone.

Seeing that I had listened, Xiong Ming asked loudly: "Hu Tian, ​​what's wrong?"

I frowned and said, "There are many pages in this file that were taken away by someone, as if they didn't want us to know how the Japanese squadron entered Songtaoshan on purpose."

Hua Muling said from the side: "Have you also noticed this? If I guessed correctly, the content in the middle should have been taken away by that person. However, why did he take those pages, but I

I have never been able to figure it out. Does he not want us to read the contents? Or will the contents reveal his identity? Or..."

"No more!" Xiong Ming said loudly: "I said Hu Tian, ​​if those pages are gone, they are gone! There is nothing behind it! Take a quick look at the content behind it to see if there is anything useful.

clue."

"Yes! Dali Bear is right!" After I said that, I no longer dwelled on the content that had been taken away, but calmed down and concentrated on reading the remaining pages of the confidential file.

"According to the records in the file, three and a half months have passed in the blink of an eye. Muto Juno and his 7th Squadron have already entered the underground palace, but the 7th Squadron, which originally had 274 people, is now leading the way.

After touching the gold captain, there were only eight people left.

However, Muto Juno, who lost his army, finally found something in the coffin in the tomb. It was a black wooden box. It was said that this wooden box contained the spring water of immortality that could make people immortal.

But just when Juno Muto was about to take the Spring of Youth to the underground palace, an accident suddenly happened. The underground palace tomb began to shake, the mountain began to collapse, and large rocks fell, blocking the original way out.

Juno Muto and the remaining soldiers were hit by falling rocks and died on the spot.

The captain who touched the gold took advantage of the chaos and escaped with the four white jade seals of the four beasts, and his whereabouts are unknown since then.

At present, the official only knows the surname of Captain Mojin who led the way - Hu!"

I just looked back calmly at first, but when I saw that the surname of Captain Mo Jin was Hu, I suddenly lost my composure.

It is no exaggeration to say that when I saw that Hu, I almost jumped out of the Arhat bed.

I said loudly: "Could it be that...could it be that the captain who led the way for Muto Juno and the others was...my grandfather?"

Hua Muling frowned and said: "If what is recorded in this confidential document is true, then 90% of the people who led Muto Juno and his 7th Squadron into Songtaoshan Tomb were Hu Jing

Mr. Hu."

I looked at Hua Muling, then looked at Mr. Xu and asked, "Uncle Xu, do you know about this?"

Mr. Xu shook his head and said: "Little Mr. Hu, to be honest with you, I don't know anything about the things mentioned in this confidential document. I have been taking care of the Hu family and Yiyuanzhai for nearly thirty-five years.

Well, I have never heard Mr. Hu mention this matter, let alone me, I guess even Mr. Hu would be embarrassed to know."

I frowned and pondered for a while, then raised my head and said slowly: "No wonder that guy wants the four-square seal that was used to steal our door so much. It turns out that the four-square seal is the key to unlocking the Songtaoshan Tomb. From this point of view,

That guy put all his effort into trying to get me to walk the same road my grandfather walked back then, and then go to Songtao Mountain."

After hearing what I said, Hua Muling asked on the side: "But, since that person wants you to go to Songtao Mountain again, why does he want to involve us too?"

Mr. Xu said from the side: "This may be related to the Wuzi Rebellion sixty years ago."

I asked in surprise: "Wuzi Rebellion? What is this?"

Mr. Xu nodded and said slowly: "I remember that when I was still very young, Mr. Hu once told me about the Wuzi Rebellion." Mr. Xu took out a red and black package from his pocket.

of Zhonghua, took out a stick from it and lit it. He did not smoke it, but pondered for a while, and then slowly continued: "The so-called Wuzi Rebellion happened six years after the incident recorded in the confidential file.

, I remember the specific time was the third day of April in the Year of Wuzi. At that time, New China was about to be established, and all forces in the world were in chaos. Naturally, the same was true for us in the Eight Sects. We lived in panic every day. But right now

At this time, a man suddenly found Mr. Hu, who was the head of the Eight Lower Sects at the time, and told him that he had found the Fountain of Youth buried deep underground in Nanzhao Kingdom a thousand years ago."

Mr. Xu took a puff of cigarette, paused, and then slowly continued: "Not only Mr. Hu knew the news at that time, but also the heads of the other doors were present. Due to pressure, Mr. Hu could only bring the rest of the people with him.

The brothers from Qimen followed that man to search for him. However, Mr. Hu has been away for seven years..."

Xiong Ming saw that Mr. Xu spoke very slowly, so he couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"

Mr. Xu took another puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Later, they came back. But only six of the brothers from No. 100 came back alive, and Mr. Hu was one of them. And they were crazy and stupid.

Stupid, injured, disabled, but one thing is the same, that is, the six people seemed to have been greatly stimulated, and everyone kept silent about the incident of going into the mountain to find the tomb.

No matter who it is, no matter what method is used, they can’t get even a little bit of information out of it.”

I asked: "Where next?"

Xu Erye said calmly: "Later, I don't know who released the news in the world, saying that Mr. Hu and the six of them had obtained the spring of youth. Not only that, but also the six kingdoms of Nanzhao had buried it underground for use against the Tang Dynasty.

The treasure of the dynasty. This is great, just the right time

As the saying goes, "Every man is not guilty, but he who possesses the treasure is guilty." People in the rivers and lakes began to risk their lives to hunt down the six people who survived that year. Everyone hoped to get a piece of the pie, even if it was just a small one.
