The bonfire sways, under the entire tree, like a dream world.

With the crackling sound, the rising flames under the tree were mixed with flying catkins, which looked particularly enchanting.

After a while of careful examination, the trees behind me could not tell what kind of tree species were. After years of erosion, their torso had blurred, covering up the color of the trees themselves. The trees exuded a strange smell and poured into their breath, giving people a kind of enlightenment and clearness, which seemed to have a calming effect. But facing the group of snakes, I still looked at the far hole in the distance. In the night, I could vaguely see the surging group of snakes, shining green light, entangled with each other, making people shining with their hair and bones.

Zhuo Bufei quietly looked at the human skin curl in his hand, his eyes frowned, making people confused about what he was thinking. However, in this dark night, he looked at a piece of dilapidated human skin, and from time to time, it made people feel chilled when they thought about it.

In the distant unknown, in the thick night, a few owls cries came, and occasionally a strange chirping responded, making people frightened. In the late night, a slight coolness came over my face, and I couldn't help but sneeze.

Zhuo Bufei came to his senses, looked at me, but stopped talking, and finally put away his skin carefully, and asked with concern, "How is it, are you afraid?"

"Scared?" I was secretly amused. I entered the Shanxi Governor's Mansion and got drunk. I slept on the beam of the Governor's Mansion for a whole night, and I was not afraid. What is this? Even in danger, I was just dead in the end. So I shook my head and said, "I have long known what fear is. After my father left, I feel very glad to be able to live." But looking at the unknown world in the dark, the group of snakes with cold bones standing on their hair was very panicked for anyone.

"Tell me about your family?" Zhuo Bufei looked at the Buddhist beads on my neck. He was always interested in me and asked with a smile, "Generally, families with this mysterious object are not as simple as imagined?"

"It's not simple?" I was secretly funny. Perhaps only he would think so. I have never delved into my family carefully. I didn't take Zhuo Bufei's words to heart. I smiled faintly, "I don't know everything about my family. In my memory, I have never been safe. Since the Eight-World Alliance thugs Yanjing, my father took me to hide and hide, traveling to many places, never really staying and spending nights, and then there was warlord separatism. My father and I were the most troublesome to life. In my memory, my father kept selling his property at a low price, and it was enough to live a few days.

In ten years, I grew up and my family property was almost sold. But my father never told me about the family affairs. In the end, he became ill. When he was in danger, he gave me this Buddhist bead and left. Now that he thought about it, he was born at the wrong time and lived a frustrated life. It would be fine if he had just lost all his ancestors. I really don’t know how he went underground to see the ancestors and ancestors at home." I sighed and took out the Buddhist bead with a broken rope from my arms, as if I saw my father’s graceful eyes when he parted. When I said my heart, I really missed him very much.

Zhuo Bufei pulled the fire, but chuckled, "I think your father may be for your own good and concealing things he doesn't want you to know. It's a good thing for you, so that you will be without danger."

I glanced at Zhuo Bufei, thought for a moment, and asked, "You are not him, how do you know what he is thinking?"

"Don't forget, I'm also a father." Zhuo Bufei murmured in a daze, as if he had thought of something, looking at Yan Ni, his eyes were full of love and drowning. "If her mother hadn't left early, I wouldn't have let her know anything. She was already very pitiful. Since I was sensible, I was imprisoned in a prison for sin. Now God has given me a chance to meet again. I cherish this reunion very much. Who doesn't want to be happy? I also want to live a peaceful life with her, but look at this current era. Oh, there is no way, who makes her willing to come? I have nothing to care about. As long as he wants, I can do anything, and just take her to risk it." He paused, and said with concern in his eyes, "But I really don't want her to risk it. I just hope that she will find a good family, get married and have children, and have no worries for life."

I was stunned and lost my mind. I imagined Zhuo Bufei's words and began to believe what Zhuo Bufei said. Perhaps my father thought so too. Zhuo Bufei was stunned for a moment and murmured the curse on the human skin roll. In this night, I felt a cold wind blowing and shivered.

"Actually, among these simple characters, it is said that there is a huge secret hidden." Zhuo Bufei looked at me, his eyes fell on the Buddhist beads, and continued, "I think your father must know something. He wants to let him die, this secret be buried in the loess with him, but unfortunately, you rolled it in. Perhaps, you are destined to be unable to escape."

I admit that this is the best explanation, but I don’t know what the secret of this Buddhist bead is. I have doubted the moment when the Buddhist bead cracks the stone wall, but how can I explain the characters in it?

Zhuo Bufei looked up at the starry sky and said slowly, "According to unofficial history, during the Qin Dynasty, this place was even more deserted than what we see now, and was full of Tu tribes. The Qin emperor was very talented and competed with the Central Plains, gradually eroding the six kingdoms, and slowly realizing his ambition to unify the world. In this year, the Qin army destroyed the Chu State, but the Chu State general who was expeditioning this area was intercepted by the Qin army and was forced to return home. So he hid here and reproduced. In just a few years, a mysterious country, Dian State, was established."

"Dian Kingdom?" Zhuo Bufei nodded. I have hardly heard from the storytelling book. There is still such a country in history.

"The reason why Dian Kingdom did not appear in the Qin State at that time was because this general acted secretly. He set up a arrangement by stealing the sky for the sun, and did not want to reveal the secrets he protected. As the remnants of Chu State, they survived on the one hand, and formed a mysterious army on the other side. Legend has it that this army was invulnerable to swords and guns, and was the army of the witch ancestor Chiyou. They were awakened from hell. They did not fight for war, but just protected this mysterious country. It is said that they were protecting a mysterious thing." Zhuo Bufei

He used the branches in his hand to twirl the bonfire and made a crackling sound. He sighed, "In the next few years, the Qin army destroyed the six countries with strong national strength, unified the world, established a powerful Qin State, and unified the text to build the Great Wall. In this year, Qin Shihuang obtained a piece of iron from the sky. He learned many secrets from the text above. In that year, he sent a large number of alchemists to search everywhere. Some people said that he was looking for the elixir of immortality, hahaha, but this kind of nonsense is completely unfounded."

"Eternal Eternal Medicine?" I couldn't help laughing. After a long historical verification, no one knew that this thing was just an illusory legend. Occasionally, I heard some pedantic scholars and created some characters in the mythological stories that they conceived after dinner. It is said that they can live forever, but in reality, I have never seen anyone who can live forever. I mentioned that in the Song Dynasty, a Taoist priest lived for 130 years. I have forgotten what he called it, but that's all.

"I know you don't believe it, but I don't believe it, but part of the words on this human skin are recorded in this legend." Zhuo Bufei smiled and continued, "At that time, some of the alchemists sent by the King of Qin came here by chance and secretly brought some things for Qin Shihuang. In that year, Qin Shihuang sent general Wang Jian to conquer Dian Kingdom. However, the roads of Dian Kingdom were rugged and the mysterious army protected it almost without any damage, and escaped this disaster. What's even more strange is that the people of Dian did not resist and disappeared without a trace. Until the Qin army retreated, they appeared on this land one after another, and no one knew where they went. But Qin Shihuang built the said very luxurious Afang Palace and the imperial tombs prepared for him for a hundred years, known in history as the Emperor of Qin.

Although I felt that the story was mysterious everywhere, I didn’t realize that there was anything special. Perhaps Zhuo Bufei deliberately exaggerated it to increase my curiosity, and did not go into it carefully. So dull, after a moment, Zhuo Bufei grabbed the kettle, took a few sips, and said mysteriously, "A few years later, Qin Shihuang died on the way to inspect, confirming that he did not seem to have obtained any elixir of immortality. In a few years, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu destroyed Qin State, and the originally powerful Qin State was destroyed. Xiang Yu was furious and sent someone to burn the Afang Palace, but unexpectedly discovered that the luxurious palace of Afang Palace had mysteriously disappeared."

"Disappeared?" I exclaimed. I had heard stories about Afang Palace countless times. Those storytellers were portrayed like heavenly palaces, but it was too incredible that a palace could disappear. In my memory, who could do it except gods?

Zhuo Bufei nodded in confusion and said solemnly, "I suspect that Qin Shihuang must have taken away something from here, and the Dian Kingdom disappeared for a while and finally appeared again. The degree of consistency during this period was not accidental." His words were as magical as if they were fascinated by me and asked, "Isn't your purpose this time for that bronze drum?"

Zhuo Bufei smiled calmly and said, "Yes, but I am more interested in this distant legend. My ancestors came from the scout army and have been hereditary for generations and have passed thousands of them. Although the scout army has been buried in the long river of history, it has been passed down by word of mouth and secret history. I don't know if my ancestors have been fabricated, but after all, they have been passed down for thousands of years, and you can't believe it."

I looked at Zhuo Bufei in shock again, and then looked at the sleeping people and said, "Then are they descendants of the scouts?"

Zhuo Bufei nodded, "My family rose in the Ming Dynasty and obtained a title in the wars of all sizes. During the Jingnan period, under the leadership of Master Daoyan, the mysterious bronze drum was taken from here, and my ancestors were one of them."

I couldn't stop talking in shock, unable to believe that Zhuo Bufei's ancestors had also come here, and began to vaguely believe that the bronze drum they mentioned might really have such divine power.

Zhuo Bufei was stunned for a moment and continued, "But it's a pity that, what's the big thing here? The ancestors did not leave any words, but only left behind the source of the bronze drum and the deeds of a mysterious man."

"Mysterious man?" I asked curiously, "Don't they know what this person is?"

Zhuo Bufei looked respectful, "He was Zheng He, and he was born here. After he helped Zhu Di to seize the country, he built a huge treasure ship that could accommodate 20,000 people. Even the foreign cruise ship we see now is only a fraction of his. After the treasure ship was built, he took hundreds of small boats and ten thousand people to sea, traveling to more than 30 countries. His life was mysterious and miraculous, but no one knew what he was looking for? I have checked the records of unofficial history and said that he was ordered by Zhu Di to find the missing Emperor Jianwen, but what is strange is that after the seventh time he went into the sea, he never came back. Historical records say that he died in a foreign country and was buried in a foreign country. Zhu Di was very sad for this and built a tomb for him. But not long after, his huge treasure ship disappeared mysteriously and was even submerged in the long river of history."

I had seen a giant ship docked in the port while escaping with my father, but when I thought about the Zheng He treasure ship he mentioned, it was many times larger than a cruise ship, I couldn't help but yearn for it, "If that's the case, how big the ship should be? Will the legend be fake?"

Zhuo Bufei swears to confirm, "This is definitely true. My ancestors have witnessed it with their own eyes, and Zheng He is also a disciple of Daoyan."

I trembled and asked quickly, "Then, isn't Daoyan a god?"

Zhuo Bufei shook his head and said, "It may not be that according to the rumors of ancestors, the Taoist Yantian, the earth, the Qimen Dunjia, the martial arts, and the hundreds of schools of thought were all excellent. After he became a rumor, he left a string of Buddhist beads, but in the end the string of Buddhist beads was unknown." His eyes fell on me, as if he thought that the Buddhist beads in my hand were one of them.

I said in surprise, "Do you suspect that this Buddhist bead is one of the Buddhist beads that Monk Daoyan?"

Zhuo Bufei smiled and nodded, "Daoyan has been here, and you just saw the strangeness of the Buddhist beads. The human scribble in my arms was obtained from here, but the hieroglyphs recorded above are the same as those projected by the Buddhist beads. I really can't think of any reasonable explanation besides this coincidence."

After being forced by Zhuo Bufei, I remembered my father's strange eyes before his death, and his silence but still, and at this moment, I couldn't help but believe Zhuo Bufei's guess.

"When did you start to think that my Buddhist beads have something to do with this place?"

Zhuo Bufei looked at the sky and sighed, "Since you stepped into the death row prisoner, after you fell asleep that night, a ray of moonlight shone in, just landing on your Buddhist beads, and a shadow was cast. I began to think that I had read it wrong, but after repeated checking, I finally confirmed that you were connected to the human skin scroll, but I was not sure at that time. Instead, the scene of the Buddhist beads breaking the stone wall made me firmly confirm this fact."

I looked at Zhuo Bufei and began to feel that this person was even more mysterious than I thought. At this moment, the little monkey and the old monkey stood up and walked towards us. They were here to change the guards, and it was already midnight!
