Chapter 102 Unheard King's Voice
He said this without thinking, He Luan covered his mouth and looked at Jiang Shui silently.Jiang Qu wanted to smoke another cigarette, so he raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Wei who was holding his hands beside him, and asked, "Are you He Luan's friend? What's your name? I haven't met you yet."
Chen Wei replied with a smile, he was always very polite to people: "My name is Chen Wei, my ear is Dong Chen, and I am very tall."
"Yeah." Jiang Qu turned around, picked up the cigarette, but didn't light it immediately, and said with lowered eyes, "It's as majestic as this snow-capped mountain. This generation has found the right one. Get along well and don't do stupid things like us. "
"What happened? Teacher." He Luan stepped on his boots and brushed off a layer of dust on the toes of the shoes, which fell during the restoration of the fossils.
Jiangqu didn't speak again, he folded his legs and wrapped the scarf tighter, it was a bit cold.Both Chen Wei and He Luan knew Teacher Jiangqu's temperament, he was always slow, as casual as smoke in the wind.A lot of words had to be brewed in his stomach before he could say them. He looked at the mountains for a long time, as if his words were all written on the snow-capped mountains.
"Son." Jiang Qu called He Luan, he exhaled smoke and coughed twice, "Is it really your own idea to come to Tibet? Has no one else mentioned it to you? How can you know anything from just a box, you guys I don’t know those old rules for a long time.”
Chen Wei clasped his fingers, he stomped his feet in the cold air, snowflakes covered his hair, the tip of his nose was red, and the beef and warm wine he had just eaten were burning in his stomach.Hearing Jiang Qu's question, he turned to look at He Luan, and breathed into the palm of his hand tremblingly.
He Luan remembered something and thought with lowered eyebrows. After about a minute, He Luan said to Jiang Qu, who was smoking silently: "Someone asked me to come, but he was just a suggestion, and it was mainly my own idea."
He was talking about Ji Yao. Ji Yao had suggested this to him on the phone. At that time, He Luan didn't think it was a big deal. After all, he was the chief, and it was not unreasonable to do so.
Jiang Qu responded lightly, glanced at He Luan, shook off the soot, and said without any fluctuations in his tone: "The Fu family called you here, old man Fu has a lot of nonsense."
Chen Wei suddenly curled his mouth, he had a lot of opinions, but he didn't make a sound.A gust of wind blew down from the mountain, Chen Wei shivered and rubbed his hands to keep warm.While thinking in his heart, who is the Fu family referring to?Do you agree?And his parents.
He Luan shook his head: "No, it's not Fu."
"Isn't it the Fu family? Could it be the Xiao family? Or the Yang family?" Jiang Qu suddenly changed his tone. He adjusted his glasses, looking incredible, "It shouldn't be, they have no reason to ask you to do this."
"Neither of them, it's still Ji's family." He Luan said, he also frowned and looked at Jiang Qu's eyes, they looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
"No," Jiang Qu stopped quickly, he shook his legs involuntarily, the heel of his shoe hit the stone and broke it, "Ji's family? How could it be Ji's family?! Kid, don't run the train, what? Let’s talk about it after thinking about it.”
He Luan glanced at Chen Wei quietly, and Chen Wei happened to be looking at him too, apparently he also noticed something was wrong.He Luan stabilized his mood, inhaled the cold air into his lungs, and felt pain from the cold: "I am not wrong, it is indeed Ji's family, his surname is Ji, as for whether it is the Ji family you mentioned, I have no way of knowing. "
Jiang Qu smoked with her head sullen, her eyes fixed on a rock on the ground in front of her, without saying a word, almost staring at a hole.The sound of the river flowing rang through the mountain stream, and suddenly a large group of birds flew up from the west and fell like a torrential rain.
"Yes, the surname is indeed Ji. I can testify that I was beside him at the time." Chen Wei said, and he made several hand gestures, trying to convince Jiang Qu.
Jiang Qu squinted his eyes hard, and his hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, as if remembering something terrible, his eyes became more and more red: "There can be several people with the surname Ji, either he or his son... ..it can't be him, he died ten years ago."
He Luan keenly caught Jiang Qu's words that were as light as smoke, and Chen Wei's face was not very good-looking. He Luan tried hard to make his voice sound normal, but he still couldn't hide a little trembling: "Teacher, can you speak clearly?" order?"
The old raven began to sing, and the eminent monk was still sitting on the rock, with his eyes closed in a peaceful manner, facing the high mountains and deep streams.His small figure seemed to have risen into the sky, only the cassock on his body was still fluttering in the wind.
Jiangqu stared at the back of the eminent monk, as if mourning, or remembering, at the end he looked at the Yarlung Zangbo River, and saw through the bottom of the river at a glance: "The Ji family died ten years ago, leaving behind a son. It's 27 years old."
He Luan tightly clenched the hem of his long coat, Jiang Qu listened to the silence from the side, looked at their faces, and said, "Why don't you speak? What does this look mean? Fuck, I know, damn it, the Ji family still Isn’t it messy enough? What are you dragging you in for?”
"According to the teacher, you and my father, as well as the Ji family, the Fu family, the Xiao family, and the Yang family, seem to know each other?" He Luan said, "What are these surnames? Why do you call them 'family'?"
Jiang Qu burned his buttocks with a cigarette, burned his fingers, and flicked the cigarette butt away, leaving a circle of ashes around his feet.Chen Wei stood up and moved to He Luan's side, gently rubbing He Luan's arm, sat together to keep warm, and listened to the strange calls of mountain birds.
After waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Qu took out a bottle of wine from his bosom, handed each of them a sip, and then shook the bottle and said, "I used to be from EDGA, just like Brother Chen, I'm an executive. Dad worked together. At that time we entered the Tibetan area, along the way there were Fu Ji, Xiao Yang and others, medical soldiers, experts and scholars were all there, and we were all comrades-in-arms and we got to know each other very well.”
"Does my father have something to do with the time bureau?" Jiang Qu stopped talking after a paragraph, and He Luan asked him from the side.
Glancing at He Luan, Jiang Qu took a sip of wine and said, "It seems that you don't know anything. Your father is a member of the Time Bureau, an invisible investigator who pretends to be ordinary people and is doing the most dangerous search missions. He Serving in Tibet as a soldier is just nonsense, just for cover. Son, look at the military area over there, do you think those soldiers are really stupid soldiers? Nonsense! Many people are organized behind their backs.”
"What are they doing here?" Chen Wei asked, he touched He Luan's red nose with great interest.
Jiangqu sneered: "What are you doing here? Go ask the snow-haired monster on the mountain, the savage in the canyon, the king in the river, and this fossil."
He pointed to the mountains and rivers, and the gentle and continuous mountains suddenly became hideous and terrifying under his fingers, and even the fossils in the excavated pits became like piles of bones.Jiangqu took a sip of wine and said to himself: "We went to Tibet to find something."
"What happened later? Did you find it later?"
Alcohol quickly got on his head, his skin was dark and red, and his crimson eyes were red, too moist as if they were full of tears.He wiped his face to sober up, and smiled wryly: "If I really found it, I wouldn't come here again. Who wants to come to this kind of place a second time."
The birds in the mountain laughed strangely, and a crow swooped down, brushed past Chen Wei's head, and dropped a few feathers.Chen Wei stretched out his hand to grab the feather, and held the feather between his fingers to watch it, shiny and solid.
"What are you looking for?" He Luan took a breath of cold air, kept warm with his fur collar, and Chen Wei kept rubbing beside him, "Cultural relics?"
Jiangqu shook his head, nodded again, and finally sighed and said, "Boy, I'm not trying to be mysterious, I can't explain that thing to you. I hope you'd better not have anything to do with that thing for the rest of your life, you, you guys ,Do not want any."
He pointed to He Luan, then to Chen Wei, Chen Wei opened his eyes to look at Jiang Qu, Jiang Qu was a little drunk, but his mind was still clear.It was cold, and fog began to form on the river. A thin layer floated on the water, sometimes covering the reflection.
Chen Wei leaned over to look around, propped his chin and asked, "Have you met the teacher?"
"...I've seen it, of course I've seen it." Jiang Qu's expression was hazy, maybe because of the night and the smell of wine, "On the Daxue Mountain, we saw it after digging through the ice. After that , Some people came back, some people didn't come back."
He Luan didn't understand the meaning of the last sentence, but he could probably imagine that someone left their life there.He looked at the glacier, it was crystal clear, it was an ancient relic, and he could see the gods feasting on it.
"Many organizations are looking for that thing, not only in Tibet, but also in Lake Baikal, the Arctic Ocean, and the Mariana Trench. We are all looking for the same thing, but we are one step ahead of them and got there first."
"What are you looking for? Is there anything in the world worth spending so much manpower and material resources to search for?"
"Son, you insisted on telling me what it's called, but I couldn't name it. I only know that there is such a thing. If we find it, we may be able to unlock many secrets."
"What secret?"
Jiang Qu looked at the sky, looking far above the clouds: "Time, the universe, the secrets of nature."
The lingering sound became ethereal like this, drifting into the fog on the river.Chen Wei took a sip from the wine bottle, and Jiang Qu patted He Luan on the shoulder: "I will go upstream with the team the day after tomorrow, do you want to come with me? Both Du Yu and Shang Pu will go for investigation."
"Why did the teacher suddenly go upstream? I didn't hear any news about you and the team." He Luan said, "I just got the news today, but the plan was postponed. It turned out that the time was delayed until the day after tomorrow."
Jiangqu smiled suddenly, and looked over with his shoulders slanted: "This upstream is not the upstream you thought. I am going to the Ngari region of Tibet, the upper reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, to be precise, Mount Kailash."
After he finished speaking, he added: "That's where your father and I went on a mission back then. We revisited the old place. After so many years, we still haven't detoured. We are still the only ones who revolve around time."
He Luan was startled, but he didn't immediately agree to Jiang Qu's words, because he didn't fully trust the teacher.After Jiang Qu finished speaking, he breathed out a mouthful of alcohol towards Xueshan and Wulu, and looked at the river casually, with a distant and indifferent expression.
After a few seconds of silence, the wind on the mountain suddenly became stronger, and the already dark night became even darker, as if a shadow was cast over it.Jiang Qu looked at the sky, startled the birds for a while, stood up and patted the ashes on his pants, and said, "Let's go, go back, don't disturb King Jiang."
Chen Wei and He Luan walked behind Jiang Qu with his hands in his hands, checking the time, it was midnight.The sound of the wind is getting louder and louder. It's not the kind of short and rapid wind, but a gentle and undulating air current rushing from a long distance, climbing up the mountain and pouring down, grand and heavy.
It seems that some giant is coming this way. As it advances, it pushes the air, creates a strong wind, and disturbs the mountain birds.
Jiang Qu walked a little fast, and He Luan saw that the sky was not right, so he followed closely and entered the door of the dormitory.At this time, he heard the roar of the wind coming from the sky above his head, the beams of the house were trembling slightly, it was dark outside, and the star light source could not be seen clearly.
Just as he was about to turn his head, Jiang Qu suddenly said in front of him: "Baby, I'm sorry that I can't tell you the truth about your father's death today, but you will know later, the time has not yet come, and there is still time."
He Luan was fixed in place by his words, and Chen Wei was also shocked, although he always felt that the Tibetan scholar's words were not credible.He Luan watched Jiang Qu's lonely back disappear at the end of the corridor, and suddenly realized that the sound of the wind had gradually subsided, so he hurriedly turned his head and walked out of the eaves.
There was no light around, and only the outline of the mountain could be vaguely discerned.The lake water is blown up by the wind, hitting the tidal flat one after another.He Luan looked at the sky, and the far sky was obviously darker than other places, and the range was constantly moving to the west.
It was a shadow, a huge thing flying through the sky, and because of the lack of light, only its vague shadow could be seen.
"Is there something in the sky?" Chen Wei took off his hat and wiped away the melted snow. He stood up a little and leaned out of the railing.
He Luan held him back to prevent him from falling off the railing, and said, "It flew over, and I can't tell if it's a bird or something, but it's unlikely that it's such a big bird."
"This evil wind is also caused by it," Chen Wei jumped, and He Luan hurriedly held him down, signaling him not to make such a loud noise, "Damn it, could this be King Jiang? The mysterious Jiang Qu just now , pick this time to bring us back, there must be a problem!"
As soon as the words fell, the originally calm river water suddenly oscillated, affecting the lake not far away, and the lake water shook violently in an inch.He Luan grabbed Chen Wei's hand and stepped back a little to protect his body.
The sound of the wind suddenly became louder, and a layer of fog on the river gradually thickened. Chen Wei cursed, "Damn it," a wave suddenly rose into the sky, and then fell down like a thunderbolt, crashing on the towering mountain on the river bank.
In the high wall of the water curtain, there is only a vast expanse of whiteness in the darkness, and the fog expands to the lake, wrapping the trees in, and it seems like countless twisted black shadows jumping out of the fog.He Luan smelled a damp fishy smell again, which was cold and cold, and went straight to the bones.
"Why does it always have this weird smell? It smells awful." Chen Wei gripped his nose and complained in a low voice. He pulled the gun out from under his clothes and loaded it twice, "fuck, if I don't kill him, stand back point."
He Luan hugged his waist, took advantage of the darkness to kiss him quietly, and raised his hand to shield him from the wind.Chen Wei stared at the restless river, the black shadow in the sky did not go far, it hovered over the snow-capped mountains, which direction the wind came from.
The Buddhist temple occasionally showed a dying light in the thick fog, which looked like it was about to go out.At this time, the river water suddenly hit the cliff, and a gust of wind rolled up the thick fog, instantly covering the figure of the eminent monk.
The white mist stood like a wall in the sky and the earth. He Luan smelled a thick and suffocating smell. The mist wet his hair, and the surrounding was white, and several low buildings could not be seen clearly at all.He felt fear, an unreasonable, natural fear.
"There's something wrong, let's get out of here first." He Luan grabbed Chen Wei's hand, stepped back into the hall, and closed the door behind him, "There's something in the fog, I'm afraid it will be bad for us."
They ran upstairs, and through the closed doors and windows, they could see that the whole house was submerged in thick fog, even the searchlights on the opposite floor were blocked, and water began to seep from the windows, pattering like rain .
"Old He, something is not right." After entering the room, Chen Wei said to He Luan, "There is so much movement outside, why no one pays attention to it? The usual patrol team is gone, is everyone so sleepy?"
He Luan nodded, he noticed this problem from the beginning.After Chen Wei locked the door, he took out the ammunition box and other light and heavy weapons from under the bed. He Luan pulled up the curtains, exposed a corner and set up the observation mirror. He turned the lens barrel and took a few photos.
They lay in bed as normal, but their nerves were tense. They didn't close their eyes that night, and spent a safe and sound night in extreme fear and tension.The next day, when I went out the door, the eminent monk who had been seated disappeared, and it was like a heavy rain on the ground.
In Beijing, the new year has not yet passed, the snow in the Forbidden City is as thick as ankles, and lonely plum blossoms are blooming in the red palace walls.This winter is too cold, there is no end to the heavy snow, and the courtyard is getting more and more deserted.
Li Chongyan went to Lama Temple, accompanied by Fu Zhong's father Fu Yangxia, in the Bentley that Li Chongyan often sat in, usually parked in the basement of the Time Bureau.When they got off the car, Fu Yangxia rolled up his coat and looked at the eaves of Zhaotai Gate.
"I'm going to Gansu tomorrow. Come here today and pray for your safety." Li Chongyan said as he entered the door, the drum tower on the left and the bell tower on the right, a faint scent of incense wafted in the air.
Fu Yangxia walked up the steps side by side with him, and said, "How far is the progress over there? Is it almost finished? It has been many years."
"Soon, they said it will be done after the next year." Li Chongyan swept the snow off his clothes and looked at the plum blossoms and dead branches under the eaves. I need you to help me."
"Small things, not worth mentioning." Fu Yangxia said with a smile, he stood outside the hall and did not go in, Li Chongyan went to burn three sticks of incense, there was no one in the hall, only the golden body of the god statue was shining brightly.
Glancing at the statue of the Heavenly King, Fu Yangxia quickly turned his eyes away again. He stood in front of the court smelling the fragrance of plum blossoms, and saw a little vermilion on the eaves of the snow.He was a little preoccupied, and Li Chongyan didn't pay attention to what he was talking to when he came out.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Chongyan patted him, turned into the Palace of Heavenly Kings and walked out. Two old pine trees stood by the side of the road.
Fu Yangxia smiled, and said softly: "Thinking of some things when I was young, we are all so old in a blink of an eye, but those things are still like what happened yesterday."
They all laughed and looked even more lonely in the empty palace.Li Chongyan came out of Lama Temple and asked the driver to drive the car for a while to Xiangshan.Xiangshan has been covered with snow for a long time, the path is full of ice shells, and there are few pedestrians.
As he slowly walked up the mountain, with dead branches crunching, Li Chongyan said, "Did you see the application from back then? It's still on my desk, and I'll sign it when I get back. "
"Well, I saw it." Fu Yangxia said, his tone could not detect emotion, "They are finally going there, as expected."
Li Chongyan laughed, and he stepped up the steps. Soon, the ground was thrown under his feet, and the passing vehicles became a small point.He stood on the viewing platform to rest his breath, and some snowflakes fell from his silver hair: "Sometimes I feel sad when I think about what they are about to encounter. But some things are unavoidable, time is there, and we cannot escape. "
"Some things are destined to disappear, and the Ji family must die in this generation. Let's stop after we finish this matter. The older generation should not interfere with the younger generation's affairs. Some things don't need to be known by too many people."
"We know so many amazing secrets. Those who spy on the way of heaven will not die well, so I often go to worship Buddha. Although I know it will be useless, I just want a moment of peace."
Fu Yangxia swept off the snow on the wooden railing with one hand, and stepped on the bottom of his feet: "We are the living dead, one yard is one yard, don't forget how we got our lives. Ji's family disappeared, waiting for us There is only death."
