Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 179 mentions "it"

Wu Xie and the second uncle came to the stream next to the village, and the second uncle didn't say a word all the way around, until he walked to the burnt old house, he said: "I've seen your email."

Wu Xie already felt in his heart that this might have something to do with that email, so he looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

The second uncle paused, and then said: "Do you believe what you wrote in the letter?"

The letter that the second uncle said was that after Wu Xie returned to Golmud, after weighing it over and over again, he wrote an email to the second uncle, explaining all the ins and outs of the matter.

Half an hour later, the second uncle called and told Wu Xie that he knew about it. Don't tell anyone about this matter, and don't bother him. He will deal with it and ask him to go back to Hangzhou immediately.

Naturally, Wu Xie couldn't go back immediately. At that time, the fat man, brother, and Pan Zi were all lying in the hospital.

"What should I say? I don't want to believe it, but I dare not believe it, because I can't think of any other possibility." Wu Xie said, "You have been with Third Uncle for so long, have you noticed anything unusual?"

The second uncle lit a cigarette, looked at him, frowned and said nothing.

Wu Xie said: "It was said by someone else, and Uncle San didn't deny it himself, so it's not that I don't have doubts."

The second uncle still looked at him, finished smoking the cigarette in a few puffs, paused, and suddenly said: "You don't have to doubt it, I tell you, it is indeed true."

"Really?" Wu Xie asked suspiciously, "How can you be sure?"

He said slowly: "We have known about this for a long time."

Wu Xie stood there dumbfounded, not believing her ears.

The second uncle continued: "Xiaoxie, some things are not as simple as you think, but there are also many things that are not as complicated as you think."

"If you knew, how did you let this happen?"

The second uncle stood silent, then made a gesture to tell Wu Xie to continue walking, and handed over a piece of stuff.

Wu Xie took it over and saw it was a photo, "This is?"

"Before I burned that house, I kept one. I think it's more appropriate to show you now than to show you at that time." He said.

Wu Xie was stunned, and suddenly stunned, a house?burn it?No way!

He immediately said: "Second Uncle, did you do that?"

He still wanted to talk, but the second uncle waved his hand and showed him the photo, "We won't talk about those things."

It was a very ordinary black and white photo, and it was also a group photo.Take a closer look, there is a strange middle-aged man talking with Wen Jin, and the rest of the archaeological team behind him.Middle-aged people are not the people in the photos I have seen before.He was very white and very thin.But Wu Xie looked familiar.

"This is the photo Chu Guangtou wants you to see." The second uncle said, "I will find the one that can best explain the problem and keep it, thinking that if I still have no choice but to let you know, the physical evidence will be better than mine. Mouth speaks for itself.”

"That's it?" Wu Xie couldn't understand, "What's wrong with this photo?"

"Don't you know this person?" He said, pointing to the stranger.

Wu Xie looked at the white and thin man, and suddenly remembered who he was, and couldn't help but "ah", "How could it be him? Isn't he..."

This person is not an insignificant person. If they appear in a photo with Wen Jin's team, then the specifications of this archaeological team will not be the status that Wu Xie thought.

They continued to stroll, and the second uncle said: "I can't tell you the details, but I can tell you a story. Xiaoxie, sometimes, for some things, he is just a story, just a story, do you want to listen?"

Wu Xie nodded, and the second uncle lit another cigarette, and said, "You have read as many books as I do. Have you read Qin Shihuang's Chronicle?"

Wu Xie nodded again.

He continued: "Where is "Han Shu"?"

Wu Xie nodded again.

The second uncle said: "Did you find out? The emperors in ancient China all had a custom. Whether they were big emperors, junior emperors, grass-headed emperors or the orthodox royal family, after they became successful and famous and the world was peaceful, they would all have a certain kind of life." This kind of behavior is to seek longevity."

Wu Xie didn't answer, if it was in the past, he would have echoed the last sentence, but now, perhaps because he has experienced many things, he has become mature.

The second uncle gave him a surprised look, and continued: "If you open the history books, you will find that, really, this kind of convention is too difficult to break, and the more the founding emperor, the worse it will be. Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Tang Taizong ..." He paused, "From generation to generation, dozens of country titles have changed, titles have changed, and even the title of emperor is no longer used, and the convention has not been broken."

Wu Xie nodded, that is indeed the case.Human nature is unchanging. No matter where you stand, at a certain time, you will still see death approaching you.

"However, the so-called longevity secrets and legends become more blurred the closer they are to modern times. Many emperors believed that the clues to the longevity technique existed in the tombs of ancient alchemists, so naturally there would be some teams to help the emperor conduct field exploration. Such teams often hang Goat's head selling dog meat, and using some existing establishments as a cover." The second uncle looked at Wu Xie and smiled, "And the people in these teams were the most powerful masters among the people that night. Lieutenant Mojin, many of them were recruited to eat public rations. At some point, when the power is suppressed, you can't help but be disloyal. For the sake of the family, you can only bow your head."

"However, this kind of thing is always in the dark, so these people in the past have no good end in the end. In addition, in this kind of team, there are always people who want to get rid of the pervasive control, and longevity is not only for emperors and generals. It is attractive, and it is also a huge temptation for these seekers. When they really find some clues, they will inevitably have their own ideas in their hearts."

"These ideas, they often tell their brothers or family members. The members of these families are people who have seen the wind and waves, and they are very courageous. Therefore, some plans will be produced to implement these ideas. These Some plans have failed, some have succeeded, and some don’t know whether they have failed or succeeded, but what is certain is that once they are discovered, then the end of these people will come.”

He stopped, hooked Wu Xie's shoulder and said, "However, some plans can be hidden for a long time, and even the dynasty changes. At this time, the two sides have reached a certain consensus, and no one wants it to be revealed." , he looked at him again, "Especially 'it'."

Wu Xie didn't dare to say that he fully understood the second uncle's story, but he understood what he wanted to say.

Wu Xie asked: "Then, what happened here is also one of the activities carried out by 'it'?"

The second uncle nodded: "I'm afraid it is, so I knew the existence of this village a long time ago. When Pan Zi said that you came here, I felt that something was wrong, so I immediately asked him to bring people over. Wherever those people go, there must be It's extremely dangerous."

"Then do you know what's going on here? What are those things?"

And after thinking about it, he said, "Those may be Miluotuo."

"Miluotuo? What is that?"

"Miluotuo is the ancestor of the Yao people. In their mythology, their first goddess was born from the mountains. I guess that the monster called Miluotuo is the prototype of Miluotuo." The second uncle took it out of his pocket. A piece of iron, "This goddess created a man for the first time, and the man she created was an iron man, but the goddess of the iron box was unable to succeed. Those miners who used iron to seal the man in the stone at that time obviously heard this kind of legend. Yaoren, your estimate should be about the same."

Wu Xie nodded.

The second uncle continued: "As for how this thing came about, I'm afraid no one knows. According to your description, this incident is very similar to a religious ceremony. You were treated as sacrifices and waited there. Those things exist at the bottom of the mountain It’s a very deep place, and it will take a long time to get it down, I feel that what happened to you may have been arranged by someone else.”

And I also had the same feeling, proving that my intuition was correct, but Wu Xie said, "But, as I said, there is no exit from that mine."

The second uncle thought for a while, then patted him and said, "I told you before, no matter what happened, it just happened. Since you have entered, there must be an entrance. You can’t say no, the entrance must be there.”

Wu Xie smiled wryly. When the fat man said it before, he thought the same way, but if he couldn't find it, he couldn't find it.

The second uncle's walkie-talkie rang suddenly, he picked it up, and then hung up after a few hums. Wu Xie continued to ask, why did he bring so many people when he came to find him?This is too exaggerated!What are they doing by the lake now?

The second uncle's face was livid, and he said: "There are some things. This time, thanks to you, otherwise we would not be able to find this place. As for the purpose of coming here, I can't tell you right now. When things are confirmed, you will naturally Will know." He looked at his watch, "Things here are just getting started, and besides, we're running out of time."

"Is it related to third uncle? Or, with 'it'?"

The second uncle smiled: "Don't worry, when the time comes, you will know how insignificant the things you have experienced are. Don't ask now, and don't inquire about it. If you want to find the past of that little brother, just look for it. But here I am, don't do your tricks. I'm different from the third child, and I won't let you mess around."

The second uncle didn't say anything to Wu Xie. Unlike the third uncle, it's completely useless to talk to him. He will do what he says, and he will tell him if the matter is confirmed, and he will never break his promise.

The second uncle said that he will stay here for a while, Wu Xie can wait here, or go to other places for a walk.However, he must report his whereabouts at any time in the future to prevent him from running around again.

Because they were thinking about their little brother, Mengli and Fatty, Wu Xie and Aning left the village a week later and went to the hospital in Fangchenggang.

Yun Cai and A Gui took Wu Xie and A Ning to their ward, and all three were fine.

When seeing the fat man, Wu Xie almost burst into tears.After just seeing him for a few days, his body has regained weight, and he doesn't look like he just walked from the Palace of the King of Hell at all.

When the fat man saw the clouds coming, he couldn't find the north again, so he wanted to get out of bed to flaunt his immortality.

In the past few days, Mengli has already told the little brother and the fat man about the situation.

As soon as Wu Xie and Aning came, they started talking about the whole thing, and Wu Xie showed them a piece of paper.

Previously at Agui's house, he drew the floor plan of the ancient village according to his memory.

But there was no result in such discussions, so the fat man clamored to take them to the hospital for dinner.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement in the clouds. Looking back, she found that she was staring at the floor plan of the lake in a daze.There was no reaction at all, obviously attracted by something.

"What's the matter, Sister Yuncai? Are you interested in this thing?" Fatty asked.

Yun Cai pouted, raised her head and said to them, "The village at the bottom of the lake in this painting is similar to Banai."

Question: How many times did Wu Xie nod?
