Mystery

  "Are you a member of the Xiongnu tribe?" Oufei had a faint feeling that Weng Haobi's background was not so simple.

  Weng Ha's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he probably wouldn't have thought that Ou Fei would ask him such a question: "How did you know?"

  "I once saw that your family worships the Dog Head God," said Oufei.

  "Weng Habai seemed unwilling to conceal it: 'It doesn't matter if I tell you, my surname used to be Lan, and I'm from the ancient village of Fengxiang Mountain.'"

  "After the disappearance of King Xie, the Xie Kingdom declined day by day. Many tribesmen moved out of Fengxiang Mountain and came to modern times, leaving only eight villages guarding the borders of the Xie Kingdom. Our village is one of them," said Weng Habai.

  "Are you changing your surname with your clan?" Ou Fei was very curious.

  "No, I came out alone because...I broke the clan rules!" Weng Haobi said with a deep sigh.

  "What's with the family rules?" Oufei became more and more fascinated, what kind of person was this old man with a head full of white hair?

  "For the Dragon and Unicorn Chart!" He said excitedly, "But I swear, I didn't steal the Dragon and Unicorn!"

  "At that time, I was young. In fact, I had been very interested in the dragon and unicorn picture hidden deep within our clan for a long time. Our clan has strict rules about the picture; generally, people are not allowed to see it. It is locked in a secret compartment in the ancestral hall, and only the clan leader has the right to open it."

  Weng Ha's voice was slightly trembling, recalling past events with a hint of sentimentality, completely unlike the dignified old man he normally appeared to be.

  "I had secretly seen it once when I was 20 years old and couldn't forget about it. After a celebration, I found that the clan leader forgot to lock the hidden door, so in the middle of the night, I sneaked into the ancestral hall to take a look at the dragon and unicorn. Who knew that when I got there, I only saw an empty space inside the secret compartment. The next day, after the clan leader discovered it, he gathered all the family members to interrogate them one by one, and surprisingly, someone said they saw me entering the ancestral hall that night. At that time, I was dumbfounded."

  Then, they used clan punishment to force me to confess, I didn't give in, no matter how they forced me. Under my parents' plea, they didn't burn me with fire, but instead drove me out of Dagucun and forced me to change my surname to Han, never to return to the village again. Later, when my parents passed away, I still couldn't go back. Weng Habai is now old and tearful, all the past events reappearing in his mind once again.

  "Mr. Weng, don't be sad," Ou Fei was startled by his sudden tears and hastily handed him a handkerchief. "So, the thief who stole the map is someone else, and now Lanyu Guang has the map in his hands, could it be...?"

  Weng Haobi became agitated: "I don't want to care about that painting anymore, nor do I want to investigate who stole it, because I've already lost a son."

  "A son?" Oufei only knew that Weng Haogui had a single daughter, Weng Lan, and had never heard of him having a son.

  "There has always been an ancient curse within the You tribe, those who violate the tribal rules will give birth to a boy as a dog, hence the legend of the Dog Seal Country." Speaking of his son Weng Habai, he became even more sorrowful.

  "I had already changed my surname to Han, but before I left, I was forced to take a poisonous oath not to study anything about the Xiongnu tribe. But I couldn't help feeling resentful, and secretly investigated the thief who stole from me back then... Who would have thought that when my son was born..." Weng Ha choked with sobs, "he had a mouth that protruded like a dog's. He died in less than a week."

  Ou Fei was shocked into speechlessness for a moment. No wonder Weng Ha Bi forbade his daughter from studying Totem, this is the language of blood.

  Weng Ha recovered his composure: "I've already sworn a poisonous oath to never study the Xun clan's totems again, why did I say so much to you today? Aren't you curious?"

  Ou Fei thought of what Ong Leng had said about persuading her father to help him and wondered what method she used, so he asked: "Why?"

  "Lan'er is the person who understands me best, she knows that although I don't say it out loud or study the ancient Tu diagrams, my heart has always been hung up on them. You see, the ancient Tu diagrams were the first totem that I was interested in, and in my heart, its position is supreme. So she proposed a suggestion, through you to understand the ancient Tu country." said Weng Habai.

  "I? I don't understand anything about this map," Ophelia said. "I just want to find my father now." What is this Wong Lan doing?

  "The painting in Lan Yu's hand is the Dragon and Unicorn picture. The Phoenix and Unicorn are not just two simple paintings, but a huge secret hidden inside." As expected, Weng Lan was not joking, Weng Ha recovered from his sadness earlier and instantly regained his composure and seriousness "It's really the ancient country of Gu!"

  "Isn't Gu Yao Country at Xiang Feng Mountain? How can there be another Gu Yao Country?" Yi Rui began to suspect.

  "When the two old men who presented the map first left, they left behind eight words: 'There are mountains outside the mountain, and a holy land outside the border.' Later, someone saw the shadow of the tomb of King Wang, and rumors spread within the boundary that only the holy land where the tomb of King Wang was located had the real ancient country of Wang. Many people who studied the map began to look for the so-called holy land, simply put, there were two different maps of Feng Qiu Long Lin." Weng Habai picked up the map of Feng Qiu again and examined it carefully, but couldn't see any clues. "Your father must have gone to Fengxiang Mountain to find the holy land too."

  Ou Fei thought that the time when Lan Yuguang's spirit split and his father disappeared was close, and Lan Yuguang had Longlin in his hand. Could it be that he had already studied the secrets of Longlin and found the legendary holy land with his father?

  As he walked out of Weng Haobi's house, he felt a little dazed, and everything didn't seem to be real, Feng Qiu Long Lin seemed to be in a dream.

  "Hey!" He was suddenly slapped heavily on the back from behind.

  "I said, are you a woman? So rude!" Ou Fei's handsome face showed a hint of helplessness, no need to think to know it was Weng Lan.

  "What's up? My dad makes sense, right? Your dad must have gone missing because he was searching for the sacred place in the picture." She smiled slyly.

  "How did you know?" Ou Fei asked.

  "What is it that I'm not allowed to hear?" Then she said: "Don't dare tell my dad, or else I'll make you die a terrible death."

  Is this considered a threat? Her triumphant look left Ou Fei speechless.

  "How about it? Will you agree to my terms?" She clasped her hands together in front of her and looked at Oufei.

  "How dare you still try to negotiate with me?" Oufei didn't want to bother with her, "Don't think that just because your dad told me a bunch of nonsense, I'll believe you."

  In fact, he didn't distrust himself as much as he thought, but he just couldn't stand Weng Lan's smug look.

  "Finding your dad is your business, but you have to keep the promises you made to me." Her expression was like a thug's, as if she were holding a knife in her hand.

  I really admire how such a traditional and serious old gentleman like Ou Fei could raise such an eccentric daughter?

  "I don't remember ever promising you anything." Oufei thought that when dealing with this kind of woman, one should use her own methods against her. Keeping promises was only suitable for the right kind of woman.

  "Wooden head, are you still a man?" Weng Lan was clearly infuriated.

  "Do you still need to verify?" Oufei had a look of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and he really wanted to confront her.

  Lan Weng did not expect that this outwardly refined and elegant European would also have such a rogue moment. However, this has piqued her interest, as she is the type of person who enjoys taking on various challenges of different difficulties.

  "Don't you want to find your dad? Think about it, with someone like me who understands everything by your side, how convenient would that be? Otherwise, when the time comes, you won't even know how you died! If I'm by your side, at least I'll tell you the reason!" She gazed at Ou Fei with sparkling eyes, rumored to be a woman's deadly weapon against men.

  "But your father said you're not allowed to study these things, how did you go?" Ou Fei admitted that although she hated the words coming out of her mouth, for a moment, her eyes were still electrified by her gaze.

  Just then Ou Fei's phone suddenly rang, and it was actually a call from the president of the Chinese hospital.

  "Director Xu, what's up?"

  "Ou Fei, there's something I need to talk to you about." The other party's tone was heavy, and who among the high-level officials in the city's hospitals didn't know Ou Fei, this young and promising military doctor.

  "Director, you say!" Ophelia was puzzled why he suddenly called her and looked so serious.

  "He said as he suddenly stopped..."Today at the hospital I saw the list of tumor patients..."

  "What's wrong?" Oufei felt something was off.

  "There is one person who..." He stopped again and said: "Ou Fei, you must be mentally prepared."

  Ou Fei felt as if the blood in his body had frozen at that instant, and he seemed to have guessed what the dean was going to say next.

  "Europe!"
