Lao Zhong slightly raised the muzzle and aimed at Liu Bo's chest. Under our nervous gaze, Liu Bo pulled out a piece of black rhino horn from his underwear on his chest and handed it to me.

"Why do you have this thing?" I exclaimed.

"Is it strange? A few of our old buddies handed one of this thing back then, but most of them had passed away. Can this thing prove my identity?" Liu Bo placed the thing on the coffin.

I took the rhino horn, put it in my hand and looked it carefully, confirming that this thing is consistent with what I got from the second master. Then I looked up again, "Who are you?" He shook his head and said it doesn't matter who I am. In short, I know your grandfather and have been running around for the ultimate secret for so many years. Now the old guys are dead and leaving, and I am the only one left, and I am still running around to protect this secret. I stop you from getting close to here, just don't want this secret to be discovered.

"Why?" I asked back, "What is my grandfather investigating in this life? He is even willing to ignore his grandson?"

Hearing this, Liu Bodon stopped, turned his eyes to me, showing a meaningful expression. He did not ignore you. For so many years, you have been able to grow up safely. He has actually been by your side with you, but you don’t know it.

I remembered Lao Luo, whose identity was a mystery, and suddenly said in a lost voice, "Is Lao Luo really my grandfather pretending to be? Why did he do this?"

Liu Bo said that an accident occurred in Niuzigou that year, causing so many villagers to die innocently. Your grandfather felt guilty and could not show his true face. Besides, the villagers would not forgive him. Therefore, he had to borrow someone else's identity and raise you with his own hands, and guard the tomb in Niuzigou by the way. But who knew that the secret of the tomb in the end spread. Not only did he get into trouble, but you were also involved.

I said, was it because Lao Luo suddenly retired and returned home because he was old and could not do it, but because he noticed that someone had set his sights on the Niuzigou tomb, so he left?

Liu Bo nodded and said yes, Lao Yang followed your grandfather when he was young, but later his selfish desires grew stronger and stronger, and he finally betrayed everyone. Your grandfather was implicated by him and had to escape from life. When he learned that he had transformed and had become a professor of archaeology and decided to take him to the tomb of Niuzigou, your grandfather was afraid that he would recognize him, so he had to evacuate first.

Speaking of this, Liu Bo's eyes were a little complicated. He looked up at the sky and sighed, "Your grandpa thought it would be fine as long as he left. Who knew that Yang's mind was so cruel that he even involved you. He knew that your grandpa could not let you ignore it, so he wanted to use you to threaten him."

I suddenly realized that no wonder Professor Yang tried every possible way to involve Ge Zhuang and me, and even framed us, causing me to stay in prison for three years. It turned out that he wanted to use this to threaten my grandfather.

I asked, "What about it in the end, have my grandfather ever contacted someone named Yang?"

"You kid is held in the palm of your hand, so how could your grandfather not surrender? Later, they went down to Linjun's tomb together. You must have known this, right?" said Liu Bo.

I nodded and said that I knew about this. We met Brother Zi in Linjun’s tomb. When we first met, Brother Zi gave me the same rhino horn. That rhino horn should be my grandfather’s?

"That's right!" Liu Bo looked at me with a smile and explained his doubts to me. "There were originally five rhino horns, your grandfather, the surname Yang and the second one, and I, the four of us each have one. As for the remaining one, they have always been in the real Lao Luo. Unfortunately, Lao Luo...ah."

I suddenly remembered the rice dumpling I encountered in the tomb pit when I first got to the tomb. At that time, the rhino horn hanging on his chest was exactly the same as the second master gave me. An idea suddenly emerged in my mind, "Can my grandfather pretended to be Lao Luo for more than ten years, but in fact he had died in the tomb of Niuzigou?"

"How do you know?" This time it was Uncle Liu's turn to be surprised. He looked at me in surprise and said that you found it yourself?

I smiled bitterly, shook my head and said no, and then told me that we were attacked by a zongzi in the tomb passage for the first time, and got a rhino horn from the zongzi.

After listening to my story, Liu Bo laughed, "No wonder... no wonder Old Luo's rhino horn disappeared. It turned out that he had just turned around and fell into your hands."

I said slow, there are many lines on the rhino horns, and they are connected like a treasure map. Are there any secrets hidden in these five rhino horns?

Bo Liu was very surprised and said with a smile, "You guy guessed it right. The secret that we have to protect is hidden among the five rhino horns. Now you have got three, and I am the fourth one. Unfortunately, the fifth one belongs to Lao Yang has disappeared, so there is probably no chance to untie such a secret in the future."

"Not necessarily!" Hearing this, Chen Yun stood up with an inexplicable smile on her face and said to Liu Bo, "The rhino horn that belonged to Professor Yang did not disappear, but was hidden by him. Two years ago, when I was sorting out the relics for him, I happened to find the last one in a secret compartment in his study."

"Have you found it?" I was shocked and looked back at Chen Yun and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Chen Yun said nothing, you have never asked me. And we didn't know at that time that there were so many secrets hidden on rhino horns. In my eyes, it was just an ordinary decoration.

I was speechless, but Bo Liu turned his eyes to Chen Yun and said that I have always been puzzled. Why are you so persistent in studying the truth about the decline of the Cuba and Shu civilization? Who are you?

Chen Yun was very calm and said that I was just an archaeological researcher who was obsessed with the truth of history.

"Is that true?" Liu Bo smiled, shook his head without any objection, and then turned his gaze to the coffin, saying that now, I have proved my identity, and I can participate in the steps of opening the coffin.

I said, "Slow down, you haven't told me how my grandfather died."

"He was cursed by the witchcraft from a thousand years ago. His body was not as good as before in the past years. When he died, his whole body liquefied into mercury. Before he died, he told me that he had a grandson and did not want him to go astray and be used by others. So he warned me to find you no matter what, and to stop you from continuing to explore the truth about this lost human civilization." Liu Bo said slowly, I have tried many ways to stop you, but in the end you still took this path.
