Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 109 Snake Swamp Ghost Town 14

The crowd, who were not quite sure about Chen Wenjin's physical condition, were not in a hurry to find the Queen Mother of the West Palace, but Chen Wenjin, who was following behind everyone, felt more and more that the changes in her body were almost out of control. She had seen with her own eyes how her companion Huo Ling turned into a monster that was neither human nor ghost, so she did not want to fall into that kind of irrational state.

However, accompanying Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling to the Queen Mother of the West Palace was an outsider whom they had never met before, which made her dare not show up easily. Even her original plan to meet with Wu Xie to talk about Wu Sanxing was completely lost.

In particular, for some unknown reason, Pheasant Neck didn't dare to get close to Wu Xie and his group, but he was reluctant to give up the rare materials for hatching snake eggs that Wu Xie and his group had delivered to him, so Pheasant Neck always followed them.

Even if Chen Wenjin gradually revealed the bone scent of the Forbidden Woman, it would still prevent Pheasant Neck from attacking her. However, since she was following behind Wu Xie and his team, she also needed to cover herself with mud at all times to cover up the bone scent of the Forbidden Woman.

Later, when they went down to the underground palace, Chen Wenjin was too lazy to hide it anymore, and while everyone was split up to explore the way, he deliberately followed Wu Xie, and finally found an opportunity to talk to Wu Xie alone.

Wu Xie was only happy about Chen Wenjin's appearance, "Aunt Wenjin, you really came in too! My Third Uncle also came in, let's go to my Third Uncle!"

Wu Xie was also aware of the things going on between his third uncle and Chen Wenjin, so when Fatty teased Chen Wenjin many times before, he always took it for granted.

But Chen Wenjin said, "Xiao Xie, you have grown up. But how can you be sure that the person who came in with you now is your third uncle?"

Pan Zi followed Wu Sanxing, while Fatty and Zhang Qiling were in the same team with Wu Xie. However, Wu Xie turned a corner and was taken to another place by Chen Wenjin, and temporarily got separated from Fatty and Zhang Qiling.

Wu Xie just felt strange, "That's my Third Uncle, Aunt Wen Jin, I want to ask you something, what happened to you in the Xisha Islands? My Third Uncle really..."

Wu Xie was worried that his uncle had really done something bad to Jie Lianhuan, and his heart was in a complicated state. However, Chen Wenjin still insisted, "Wu Xie, I still say that. How can you be sure that the person with you is your uncle?"

Wu Xie also realized that something was wrong, but he just couldn't calm down. After all, he was sure that his third uncle was in this underground palace, and it was very likely that he was deeply involved in a fatal case.

"Aunt Wenjin, my third uncle has watched me grow up since I was a child. How could I not recognize who has been with me for so many years?!"

Seeing Wu Xie was overly excited, Chen Wenjin quickly calmed him down: "Wu Xie, don't get excited. Think about it carefully. You have also seen the photo we took as a souvenir, right? Think about it carefully. How many people are there in the Xisha archaeological team?"

Wu Xie followed Chen Wenjin's question and began to recall, then answered: "There were ten people in total, and my Third Uncle was right up there, standing next to you!"

Chen Wenjin shook his head: "No, there were eleven of us in total. Your third uncle joined temporarily because of my face. He was just a temporary staff member, not a formal member of our team."

"Also, it was your Third Uncle who was taking the photo for us that day. The person standing next to me was our official team member Jie Lianhuan."

Wu Xie recalled carefully, and indeed, all the members of the archaeological team were in the photo. Even if there were people around, they were only some local people who were transporting supplies. More than 20 years ago, cameras were much more precious than they are today, so they would definitely not let the local people touch their cameras, and would only hand the cameras to someone they trusted!

But this truth was hard for Wu Xie to accept. He felt that the things that flashed through his mind were too complicated and he had no time to sort out more clues.

"But I saw the words 'Wu Sanxing's harm to the chain' written in the gap..."

Chen Wenjin asked: "Do you still remember how those words were written?"

Wu Xie squatted down expressionlessly and wrote down what he saw in water and in the form of handwriting. Chen Wenjin was more certain of his guess: "The person in the underground palace right now is not your third uncle, but Jie Lianhuan. I don't know where your third uncle went, whether he is still alive, and why Jie Lianhuan was not discovered by your family, but the person in front of me is definitely not your third uncle."

There was no need for Chen Wenjin to say anything more, Wu Xie had already discovered something was wrong.

The two names Wu Sanxing and Jie Lianhuan are listed on both sides of the vertically arranged text. No matter what the content in the middle is, according to the current reading habits, it is read as Wu Sanxing harmed Jie Lianhuan, while according to the formal reading method of ancient Chinese, it becomes Jie Lianhuan harmed Wu Sanxing.

Fatty had been hiding aside and listening for a while, but he didn't understand whether this San Ye was Wu Xie's third uncle or not. However, he had made up his mind that when he met Wu Sansheng later, he would make sure he paid first!

Wu Xie is very stubborn sometimes. He doesn't want Chen Wenjin to enter the Queen Mother's Palace alone. And Chen Wenjin also feels that she can only find what she wants when she is with Wu Xie.

It turned out that Chen Wenjin was the one who had a relationship with Wu Sanxing. She saw through Li Lianhuan's pretense at first sight and revealed Li Lianhuan's identity in front of Jie Yuchen.

Jiang Xinxin looked at the chaos of the group of people and couldn't help but stand up to remind everyone: "The Queen Mother of the West Palace is right in front of us, are you going in or not? If not, I will leave first."

Jiang Xinxin took her backpack from the fat man. Seeing this, Aning quickly packed up her things and prepared to follow Jiang Xinxin.

Xie Lianhuan didn't know how to get out of the situation, so he just bit the bullet and said to everyone, "That's right, since we're here and we're willing to move on, just pack up and go!"

As soon as Xie Lianhuan moved, Xie Yuchen and Hei Yanjing expressed their willingness to follow him. Seeing the current situation, Mop and his group quickly packed up their things and followed.

Wu Xie didn't even have time to pack his things. He took a few quick steps and grabbed Jie Lianhuan, insisting that he explain everything clearly.

Of course, Xie Lianhuan couldn't tell Wu Sanxing about his plan under such circumstances, so he had to ask a question: "Wu Xie, do you still remember why you came to the West Queen Mother Palace?"

Wu Xie paused, but still didn't let go of Jie Lianhuan's hand, "You're trying to change the subject again!"

"You older people can't always try to guess what we young people are thinking from your own perspective!"

"Don't always do things that put us in danger under the banner of doing good for us!"
