You can tell these vehicles are military at first glance. They look out of place among the rocks. The dust is covering them, making them look mottled and old. These vehicles must have been parked here for a long time. I couldn't help but think of it.

I learned the legend that the Tajik driver told us.

Decades ago, a People's Liberation Army convoy drove into West Kunlun. For unknown reasons, the entire convoy disappeared among the snowy mountains. No one knew where they went or why they came.

We slowly looked around the vehicle, but no matter how carefully we searched, we couldn't see a single person. The truck contained a lot of supplies. The fat man climbed into the cargo box of a truck and found a lot of moldy food inside.

As well as tattered quilts and clothes. After picking for a while, the fat man dug out a relatively intact military coat from the pile of things of unknown age, and then handed it to Peanut.

Peanut took it and wrapped it directly outside the deformed down jacket. Apart from that, we didn't find anything useful in the car. Before passing a car, Peanut would gently put it on the car's skin with his hands.

It's like ** moving along.

Doubt, surprise, thinking, silence. For the next ten minutes, none of us spoke. It was only after everyone had rummaged through every car that the fat man asked us to sit down next to him and said he was going to start cooking.

.

This is our last smokeless stove. I originally wanted to forget it and just eat some dry food to survive, but when I thought of the hot noodles, I still flinched.

While watching the fat man eating noodles, I was thinking about what to ask Peanut. I didn't show him the old photos, but Peanut was the first to recognize the person who might be my great-uncle, Yuan Wuyang. Then, grandpa,

Liu Jinsun also appeared, and even if all this is an illusion, I can't understand why Peanut would be with them.

Looking at Peanut's stern face hidden in his long hair, I suddenly remembered my father's words.

"He is a 'king'. A 'king' who does not know the meaning of his existence and has been hiding among our families for thousands of years, like a ghost."

Wang. Maybe it’s a title that people like Dad think of, but it doesn’t necessarily mean anything. And I don’t think Peanut has anything to do with Wang. In my eyes, he is a lonely explorer, a transcendent person.

Our prophet. I don’t know what he is thinking in his mind at this moment, but I can feel that Peanut is very calm now.

His body no longer had the same aura as when he was at the Tomb of King Yelang. Even though he was sitting next to me, I inexplicably felt that this man was getting away from me little by little.

What does he mean by destination?

"Thirty years ago..." Peanut suddenly spoke. He slowly raised his head and looked at the blue flames in the smokeless stove. "A unit numbered **71 entered the West

Kunlun range. To the outside world, this unit claims to do environmental detection work for construction and development, but there is not a single environmental scientist in the **71 unit. Its organization, tasks, direct leaders, etc. are all top secrets."

I know that generally speaking, our country’s confidential files are divided into three levels. The first is secret, the second is confidential, and the third is top secret that must not be leaked. And the red-headed top secret may be some national leaders

Super secret matters that people may not know about. There are not many of these things, and they are basically in the hands of the military. When we were in college, we often discussed these things blindly. Unexpectedly, now, we would hear "Red Headed Top Secret" from Peanut's mouth

"These four words.

In this way, the real mission of Unit 71 should be quite astonishing.

After a pause, Peanut continued: "At that time, the head of your old Yuan family in eastern Sichuan was Yuan Wuyang. No one knows why a tomb robber would join such a high-level army. However, Yuan Wuyang not only entered that

At the same time, his brother Yuan Tong, your grandfather, and another man named Liu Jinsun became members of the army.

Along the way, except for Yuan Wuyang, your grandfather Yuan Tong and Liu Jinsun were actually locked in the truck. If not necessary, the people of the **71 unit would not allow them to come out at all. That unit set off from Yanjing,

I arrived in Xinjiang Province almost without sleep. There are three people who know the true mission of the **71 unit. The first one is the commander of this unit, platoon leader Zhao Ting. The second one is Xiao Aiguo, political commissar Xiao.

, the remaining one is Yuan Wuyang.

Yuan Wuyang was very young at the time, only thirty years old, but he alone had the final say in the direction and camp location of the **71 unit. Along the way, this unit avoided everyone's sight and entered silently.

West Kunlun. Everything was going very smoothly, but for some unknown reason, Platoon Leader Zhao suddenly ordered the troops to set up camp in a deserted mountain col.

At first, the people in the army thought they were on standby, but no one expected that they would stay there for half a year. During these six months, Platoon Leader Zhao, Political Commissar Xiao and Yuan Wuyang behaved very strangely.

They lived in a very large tent, and the three of them were in the tent almost every day except when necessary. What was even stranger was that starting from the second day after taking down the camp, these three people never appeared at the same time again.

.At first, others were just confused, but gradually, everyone discovered a pattern.

**The time for Troop 71 to patrol the camp is at nine o'clock in the evening. At this time, the people patrolling the camp will always see a person outside the tents of the three commanders. This person is either Platoon Leader Zhao or Political Commissar Xiao.

, or it is Yuan Wuyang. As long as that person appears outside the tent, then the next day, he will be the person responsible for arranging internal signals for the troops, but the other two people will never show up.

At that time, I didn’t want to alert the enemy, but..."

The fat man was stunned when he heard this, "Hey, little brother, wait a minute, what did you say? Are you in that army too?"

I had predicted something just now, but I still couldn't believe that Peanut really said such words. The mysterious army from thirty years ago, and Peanut who looked like he was only in his twenties...could it be

What dad said is true. Peanut has been dormant with our Yuan family for a long time?

Peanut ignored our surprise and continued: "The discipline of that unit was very strict. Although everyone felt that the movements of the three commanders were very strange at the time, no one dared to ask or inquire. Before departure, each of us

After receiving a death order from a superior, no one dared to disobey it.

Because of this, no one thought that I would sneak into the tent of those three people. I had suspected before that there was only one commander in the camp every day. I originally thought that there would be something underground in the tent.

project, but after entering, I discovered that things were not like that.

In the tent, I saw a large open box. When I walked over, I saw nothing inside at first glance, but I soon realized something was wrong. It was not that there was nothing in the alley, but because it contained

It was filled with a black gas-like thing. I didn’t understand what it was at the time, but soon, I heard someone talking inside. The sound was very strange. Although I was sure it was two people talking, I couldn’t hear it at all.

Don't know what they are talking about.

At this moment, Political Commissar Xiao walked in from outside the tent. It was night, and when he saw me, he was very surprised. He hesitated for a few seconds, then closed the tent and took out his saber. Speaking of which, according to military regulations, he was indeed

You can execute me on the spot."

I couldn't help but think: I guess you're going to kill him by then, right?

When the fat man heard this, he was very excited. Since ancient times, tomb robbers have never been able to fight with officials or soldiers. The fat man also wanted to hear how Peanut dealt with the political commissar.

"Just when Political Commissar Xiao was about to take action, the box suddenly shook violently. Then I saw Yuan Wuyang and Platoon Leader Zhao crawling out of it with scars all over their bodies."

I frowned and said, "Wait a minute, how big is that box? Can it hold two people?"

Peanut was silent for a while before saying: "It's actually wrong to say they crawled out of the box. They emerged from the black mist."

"Damn it, isn't that apparation?" the fat man said in surprise.

I turned around and glared at the fat man, thinking, "What are you talking about?" The fat man grinned and winked at me in an insincere way.

"At that time, Political Commissar Xiao and I were a little surprised, but before we could say anything, something quickly ran out of the black mist in the alley... It seemed to be something crawling out of the mud, covered in blood.

Black mucus kept falling out, and it looked a bit like a dog. Their teeth were very terrifying, and they bit political commissar Xiao's neck in one bite. Almost in the blink of an eye, hundreds of black mud dogs emerged from the black mud.

The fog surged out. I had never seen such a ferocious dog. Soon, the camp made of tents was completely torn into pieces. All the people could only use vehicles as cover and shoot at those things.

But after killing one, ten more came out of the dark room, even with mortars. I protected Yuan Wuyang all the way back, and later rescued Yuan Tong and Liu Jinsun. At that time, there was nothing left to do except save lives.

There were other possibilities, but Yuan Wuyang was very stubborn and wanted to take away the box containing the black mist. At the same time, Platoon Leader Zhao also sent people to take a detour to grab the box, but in the end, we still got the box."

Peanut looked at the vehicles riddled with bullet holes. "We escaped from the crowd, and the remaining members of the **71 Unit drove their cars to catch up. In the dark, we could only run along the side of the road, behind us

The car lights and those vicious dogs followed us all the way. We couldn't run away. Yuan Wuyang, your grandfather Yuan Tong and Liu Jinsun were exhausted. The ground slipped and Liu Jinsun fell. The box was thrown to the ground.

, rolled twice, and the lid opened. Yuan Wuyang originally thought it was over, but when we looked back... cars, black mud dogs, **71 troops, everything following us

They all disappeared. We were stunned for a long time, and then Yuan Wuyang seemed to be crazy and started laughing wildly. After a while, we were cold and hungry, and we had no choice but to go back to the camp. However, when we carried the

When I walked back to the col, I saw that the camp of Unit 71 had also disappeared."

I felt a chill running down my back, "What happened next? Did you find out what the black mist in that box was?"

Peanut shook his head, "No one knows what the black mist in that box is except Yuan Wuyang."

The fat man said: "I think that may be a 'space-time spiral nest'. Yuan Wuyang and the others should have gone to other places through there. Those who disappeared must have been sucked in because you opened the box unintentionally.

"

None of us commented on Fatty's point of view. Peanut continued: "Only Yuan Wuyang knew how to open that box, but since then, he has never opened the box again."

I couldn't help but wonder, "Then you didn't force my uncle to tell everything?" I said to myself, "You can't do anything to him?"

Peanut smiled slightly, "It was possible, but after he came out of the black mist, there was a very strange thing on Yuan Wuyang's right hand. It seemed to be a glove. I don't know if it was made of copper or iron.

After getting that thing, Yuan Wuyang seemed to be a different person. Not only was I no match for him, but the most terrifying thing is that since then, I have found that Yuan Wuyang is getting younger and younger."

"What?" I recalled the photo and suddenly felt that although Yuan Wuyang in the photo was my grandfather's younger brother, he was indeed much younger. Judging from the photo, my grandfather and Liu Jinsun were about thirty or forty years old at the time.

But Yuan Wuyang looks like a young man.

I then asked: "What happened to Yuan Wuyang? Why has my family never mentioned this person to me?"

Peanut looked at me for a while, then whispered: "He...is dead."

"Dead?" I was stunned, "How did you die?"

"He used the metal glove to break his own neck."

"Suicide!" I was even more surprised.

Peanut nodded, "Before that, Yuan Wuyang disappeared for a while. Even I didn't know where he went. You Yuan family searched everywhere, but there was no result. Suddenly one day, Yuan Wuyang returned to the Yuan family's old house.

At that time, his whole person had changed. In appearance, he seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his demeanor was very depressed. After returning to the old house at the original price, he never slept again and shut himself up all day long.

In a place where there is no light, he keeps repeating the same sentence...'Our Yuan family has no chance, we have no chance'...No one knows what he said

What do you mean? Half a year later, on your father's seventh birthday, he said those words again in front of all the Yuan family members, and then broke his own neck in front of everyone."

After saying that, Peanut looked at my reaction and said, "Do you think your father will let you know about such a thing?"

I imagined the scene back then, and couldn't help but secretly wonder how could so many weird and bizarre things happen to our Yuan family? Is it true that as my father said, are we all just pawns controlled by Daluo Feng Shui?

The fat man asked: "What happened to the last box?"
