I opened my eyes in disbelief, only to find myself standing in a dark, tunnel like environment.

I can't see five fingers around, I can't see anything. I can only touch the wall with my hands and move forward a little bit.

I tried to shout the names of Pockmarked Li and boss Xiao, but there was no reply.

Is it a commemorative medallion?

After walking on for a while, I saw the commemorative medallion lying on the ground quietly. It was like a bright diamond, especially dazzling in the dark environment!

As soon as I wanted to pick it up, I saw several mice squeaking and running to the commemorative medallion, grunting and looking at it with their eyes turned. One of the mice also mischievously peed on it.

Then an accident happened. The mouse suddenly fell to the ground and its limbs twitched. It tried to stretch its body as if it wanted to make a final struggle.

The other mice were scared away. I went up to see what was going on?

However, he was shocked to find that the whole body of the mouse was like being splashed with sulfuric acid, which was festering.

Looking at the tender and pink meat on it, I suddenly felt sick. I couldn't help retching. Then I found that I was still lying on the bed.

Originally, just had a dream!

Although I'm awake, I haven't got out of my dream yet. That mouse looks so miserable and real!

It's not an accident to have such a dream at this time. It must be something the spirit wants to convey to me.

All the other mice are OK. Only the one that pees has an accident. Is it not the spirit of the underworld who wants to tell me not to die?

But who doesn't understand this? I think it's mainly to frighten me. It's probably related to my visit to the old man tomorrow.

I'm not in the mood to go to sleep. My brain is full of mice. I sit on the bed until dawn.

Until Pockmarked Li woke up, I was still haunted by last night's dream.

When he saw that I was not looking well, he asked me what was the matter?

I said with a wry smile that I was so excited yesterday that I couldn't sleep, which made him laugh at me.

After breakfast, we followed boss Xiao to visit the old man. At first, I thought that the old man lived in the suburbs, but he lived in the formal countryside.

At first, our car was barely able to drive, but in the middle of the road, the mountain road suddenly turned into a stone step, so we had to abandon the car and walk for about half an hour to reach the destination.

The old man lived in a dilapidated tile house. The walls were made of large stones. They were simple and solid.

I stood at a high place and looked at the tile house as a whole, and I found that the house was very low in Yang, with a feeling of graveyard and mortuary.

But the old man is a man who has fought in the Dynasty and crawled out of the dead. His Yang is absolutely strong. There is no reason why he lives in such a cold place.

The only explanation is that the old man has a problem!

I'm afraid boss Xiao can't stand it after he finally knows the truth. At the same time, he is also needed to cooperate with us to find clues. He politely revealed the following suspicion of the old man.

Not surprisingly, boss Xiao didn't believe that his father would hurt his grandchildren at all, but he was open-minded and agreed to cooperate with us to test the old man.

After discussion, we carefully entered the door, but found that the old man was not at home at all!

Boss Xiao asked us to sit on the bamboo chair and said that the old man would like to play chess at the neighbor's house nearby if he has nothing to do with it. If he is not at home, he must be playing chess.

Then he got up to find the old man and let us wait at home.

The neighbors in the mountain are not the same as those in big cities. Two families ten miles apart in the mountain are neighbors.

I went out with boss Xiao to have a look, and found that the nearest family also has a five or six li, which takes at least an hour to go back and forth.

After boss Xiao left, I went back to my room and sat on a chair to mend my sleep, but Pockmarked Li was messing around in the room.

I'm too lazy to talk about him. This guy's careless habits can't be changed.

After a while, I was just sleepy. When I was about to lose consciousness, Pockmarked Li suddenly exclaimed, "brother Zhangjia, there is a secret room here!"

"What?" I was sleepy at the end of listening. I sat up from my chair and ran to ask where the secret room was.

"The screen on the wall is empty, and I found it by accident." Said Pockmarked Li, pointing to the screen hanging on the wall.

This screen is a picture of a great man pointing to the mountains and rivers. It looks very textured. How can it be empty?

I knocked on the screen with my hands doubtfully, and I heard the thumping sound. I was excited to find the mechanism with Pockmarked Li, but I still couldn't find it. Even xiaoweiyu couldn't help me.

When we were busy, boss Xiao's voice came from outside. Unexpectedly, they came back so fast. We quickly recovered our things and sat back in the chair.When boss Xiao and a gray haired old man came in, Pockmarked Li and I got up to greet him for a while and then sat down.

In the process of greeting, I have been paying attention to the eyes of Xiao Laozi, and found that he is also staring at me!

Once an expert goes out, he will know if there is one. The old man's eyes are firm, and he is definitely someone with a story.

I pretended to talk about the war with him unintentionally, and then gradually led the conversation to the memorial according to his state.

The old man is really old, speaking like a mouth full of phlegm in his throat, his ears are not easy to use, we must shout to hear clearly.

After a long time, he didn't get any useful information. The biggest information was that he was a company commander in the army at that time, which can explain why he could easily get the medal back from the museum.

Since I can't get any information from here, I don't have much time. I'll go back to see boss Xiao and Pockmarked Li. On the way, boss Xiao said with a smile: "Master Zhang, do you have a wrong guess? How can my father control that thing when he is like this..."

"Probably!"

I nodded and didn't say anything more, but Pockmarked Li opened his mouth several times and wanted to say anything, which was met by my fierce eyes.

After returning to the antique shop, boss Xiao sent us upstairs to do business. Then I asked Pockmarked Li what he wanted to say.

"Brother Zhang, we have found the secret of the screen. Why don't you just open it? No matter how bad it is, you have to watch it secretly. How can you withdraw so soon? "

"Ha ha, look at your hairy and impetuous appearance."

With a sneer, I lowered my voice and said, "I have left the tail jade there. Do you really think I will give up such an important clue?"

The reason why I come back is that I don't want boss Xiao to be stuck in the middle. I can see from the eyes of Mr. Xiao that the real him is not talking like the old man in the twilight!

He is acting. If you don't want boss Xiao to know his secret, I'll play with him and see who is better at it!

When Pockmarked Li saw that I had left behind, he smiled with satisfaction, reached out and stroked his nonexistent beard on his chin, and said quietly, "you can teach me!"

"Why don't you

I still have something important to do. I made a middle finger at him and went downstairs to find boss Xiao to take the commemorative medallion.

I don't know if that dream last night was made by Xiao Laozi. I have to find out the secret of the memorial as a hell as soon as possible, or I'll lose easily.

Unfortunately, all the information above has been corroded. Pockmarked Li snores again. Gradually, my eyelids start to fight. Finally, I can't help but put the commemorative medallion on the table and go to sleep.

In my sleep, I suddenly heard the cry for help from Pockmarked Li. At first, I thought I had a dream again. Subconsciously, I still thought about last night's dream, so I read Tao Te Ching subconsciously.

It's ok if I don't read it. The voice of Pockmarked Li is clearer. I murmured that I was so bad that I sat up and rushed out with the Sirius whip. At a glance, I saw Pockmarked Li crouching on the ground, his hands constantly pulling out at his neck.

I pinched my fingers and quickly poked them at Tiangong. Looking back, I found that there was a phantom in a grass green military uniform sitting on Pockmarked Li. I was pinching Pockmarked Li's throat.

"Zhang Jun!"

I roared, then rushed to him with a whip, secretly offended the old hero, and then whipped him on the head without hesitation!
