Golden Forbidden Land: I am at the highest level, exploring the secrets of immortality

However, our plan to enter the villa failed because everything in the villa was empty. After we got in, we only found that everything in the villa had been moved.

It seems they know our origins.

We have completely exposed our goals and whereabouts.

"Look..."

Li Dakui suddenly discovered that on one of the walls of the villa, he found a very strange picture. The picture was of an endless desert, and a Taoist priest came from there.

Behind him are the architectural remains of an ancient country. Although I don't know the name of that place. But I saw the flag behind the Taoist in the pattern, which seemed to be an inn.

"here it is……"

I don't understand that we only found this weird painting in the villa.

"Maybe he went back." Li Dakui stared at the painting and said. It seemed that the man had completed all his missions and returned, but no one knew what he took with him.

Perhaps something was left behind, which is no longer known.

The project that the professor was researching was also terminated. With the disappearance of this Taoist, everything came to an abrupt end. My mind is full of that picture, that weird inn actually appeared in the desert...

Li Dakui hurried back because he received news from the Kyoto Museum that there was an important matter that required his intervention.

As for the Taoist priest, I have never been able to contact him again. I once tried to go to the temple to find them, but to no avail.

The monastery has been completely sealed.

I settled everything in Jiangcheng, and I temporarily lived in an inconspicuous little place. I thought everything was going to be over, but to my surprise, Li Dakui went to investigate the matter.

And I will stay in my temporary residence for the time being.

Of course, after experiencing those strange people, I decided that I should return to a normal life.

They seemed to be gradually leaving my sight.

There was no contact even after that. As for Dakui's investigation, we have to start from the beginning. It seems like a simple thing, but it hides an unknown secret.

It should be a very sunny day.

I was ready to find a job. Of course, the door of the National Archaeological Institute was always open to me, but I still refused. I never wanted to go back. I don’t know why.

Maybe there is a shadow in my heart.

I decided to get back to normal.

Originally, Dakui was planning to come and hang out with me while he was resting, but he didn’t expect that he had experienced such a weird thing before, and it’s still unbelievable when he thinks about it now.

That little Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest with unique skills.

All disappeared before our eyes.

Seems like just a dream.

Li Dakui also had to leave due to work reasons and return to the museum in Kyoto, so I didn't stop him and he went to investigate some things.

As for this matter, I didn't pay attention to it before, but later I realized that it was not as simple as I imagined.

Of course, I didn't care at that time.

I decided to live temporarily in a so-called courtyard-like place in Jiangcheng.

Maybe I just like the cleanliness of this city.

It was already the second week after Li Dakui left.

Except that there was a phone call to contact me, this guy seemed to have disappeared. Maybe it was just because I was busy at work that I didn't ask carefully.

"Dong dong dong!"

Early in the morning, before I woke up, I heard the sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums outside the house.

I thought it was some local Feng Shui custom, but judging from the date, it didn’t seem to be a special festival.

Although I haven't woken up yet, I am determined not to fall asleep in such a noisy situation. I almost covered my whole head with the quilt, but the sound seemed to have penetrated into my ears and never came out again.

I almost collapsed.

"What are you doing?"

I'm very impatient.

The place where I live is like a courtyard house. The houses here are all buildings from the last century. Although they are very dilapidated, they still retain the architectural style and all the original folk customs of that time.

That's why I chose such a place.

Originally it was for peace and quiet.

Fortunately, there are very few tenants here, and the landlord is easy to talk to, but he doesn't come often.

And below the courtyard is the Yangtze River.

Surrounded by lush trees, it always feels like a small island, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the atmosphere is very good.

"Bang!"

The sound of firecrackers outside is getting louder and louder.

"What's going on?"

I really couldn't figure it out, so I quickly stood up and went downstairs, but just when I opened the door, a pale face appeared outside.

That's right, he was standing at the door, staring straight at me as if he was sure that I would open the door.

"You...what's the matter?"

I asked the man.

A man in his forties, with a dark complexion, it looked like he had been working hard outside all year round.

"Oh, it's okay. I'm afraid I woke you up. I'm really sorry."

He seemed a little apologetic.

"What happened outside?"

I asked.

"Dead... dead people."

His face was pale, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.

"ah?"

I was very surprised. After all, I couldn't help shivering when I heard him say that.

"Yeah."

He nodded, and then said very seriously, "It's my father!"

"What?"

I couldn't believe it.

Although this tenant didn't talk much, I had dealt with him several times, but he was very good at helping people.

But no one knew this person's name, but they knew that he had lived here for at least ten years.

And his father, if I remember correctly, I saw him yesterday.

The old man looked very healthy and didn't look like someone with a serious illness. And unlike this man, he greeted everyone with a smile.

"He was fine yesterday, why is he so bad today..."

I choked a little.

"If you are free this afternoon, can you come and see him off for the last time?"

He said in a low voice.

"Okay."

I replied.

After all, the dead are the greatest, and I am also a tenant here and a neighbor, so I agreed.

He just nodded.

But I didn't see any sadness in his eyes. He even stared at the back of me, and occasionally avoided my gaze, as if searching for something in the place where I lived.

"Well... I'll go back first."

He muttered, and then turned around mechanically.

Gradually he left my sight.
