Notes on Tomb Raiders: God will punish evil

"Well, Uncle Ding, I heard that you made an important discovery?"

Hearing what I said, Lao Ding Fang stood up from the easy chair and came into the room.

Lao Ding said to me: "Xiao Lin, I heard that you auctioned that flute, and the asking price is 100 billion?"

This news has already become a topic of discussion in the streets and alleys. Even if Lao Ding knew about it, I wouldn't be surprised.

I nodded my head in acknowledgment.

Lao Ding's face suddenly became serious, and he said, "Xiao Lin, come and see, I have made a major discovery." After speaking, he took out a strange ancient book from the bookshelf.

The appearance of that book is very strange, the whole book seems to be made of parchment, there are some strange pictures drawn in the book, and some words, but no one can recognize the words.

When I was young, I often came to Lao Ding's house to play with Ding Yin. I also saw this book when I was young, but since then, Lao Ding has hidden this book, and I have gradually forgotten about it.

I can still remember some of the ancient characters in the book. When I was studying in the Archeology Department of Peking University, I asked my tutor about these characters from memory, but the tutor thought I was whimsical and didn’t care. This issue.

But I am very clear in my heart that this ancient book does exist. I am afraid that no one except Lao Ding himself knows the real reason for the origin of the ancient book.

Now he showed me this book again, apparently to tell me the real origin of this ancient book.

The ancient books are very well preserved. Lao Ding puts a plastic film on each page of the parchment, which will play a crucial role in protecting the paper.

I still can't figure out the true meaning of the book that Lao Ding showed me, but obviously, Lao Ding has found a place related to that mysterious flute, which makes me full of curiosity.

Opening the ancient book, the contents of the ancient book are some strange patterns drawn with black carbon. Although the patterns are very rough, the general meaning can still be seen.

I can tell at a glance that the pattern depicted in the ancient book is a bustling city, and all kinds of strange buildings set off the city's beauty.

The content of the ancient book is only about ten pages, maybe about fifteen pages. On the last page of the ancient book, I suddenly saw that the beautiful city disappeared and was replaced by a mysterious flute.

Originally, this pattern was not surprising, but when I thought of the mysterious flute I discovered, I was taken aback.A strange question appeared in my mind, and I thought to myself: "Is this flute related to this city?"

If so, what kind of city is this city?Judging from the city's architecture, this city doesn't look like a modern city, it doesn't even look like an ancient city, but like a mysterious kingdom sleeping underground.

"Xiao Lin..." Lao Ding said, "Do you know which city is depicted in the ancient book?"

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know.

Lao Ding said: "This is the legendary Phoenix City."

When he said this, I was taken aback, because Phoenix City is really too famous.Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a prominent civilization, which was the Phoenix Civilization. The reason for its name was also because of a city that shocked the world—Phoenix City.

If the scenes depicted in this ancient book are really the scenes in Phoenix City, then this ancient book is really priceless.

The Phoenix civilization is at least 7000 years old. It was a prominent civilization before Yanhuang. There are not many records about that civilization. Therefore, few people outside the archaeological field have heard of this civilization.

Could it be that the last flute has something to do with the Phoenix civilization, so where is the Phoenix civilization?

Lao Ding said, "Xiao Lin, that's all I've found. This last flute seems to be closely related to the Phoenix civilization."

I nodded and said, "Uncle Ding, I understand."

At this time, Ding Yin suddenly brought up two bowls of steaming lotus seed porridge, and said to me: "You came to our house so early, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, look, I cooked some lotus seed porridge for you, drink it while it's hot Alright."

To be honest, Ding Yin is indeed a good wife and mother. If I can really marry her, it will be a blessing from my previous life.I drank the steaming lotus seed porridge, and my heart was a little moved.

After finishing the porridge, I said to Lao Ding, "Uncle Ding, I am leaving." Then I turned to Ding Yin and said, "Yin, take care, I will come to see you when I have time."

As soon as I got out of Ding Yin’s house and got in the car, I immediately called my classmate at Peking University, Li Kai, who taught at Peking University, and wanted to inquire about the Phoenix civilization. know a lot.

Chapter 7 The Cursed Hidden Weapon

When Li Kai heard me mentioning the Phoenix civilization on the phone, his tone seemed very surprised, and he asked me, "Why, old classmate, are you interested in the Phoenix civilization now?"

Of course I couldn't tell him the truth, so I just said: "Recently, I have a cultural relic that seems to be from the Phoenix civilization, but there are too few historical records about the Phoenix civilization, so I want to ask you, an old classmate, to understand the situation."

Li Kai was very surprised when he heard what I said, and asked me: "Do you really have something from the Phoenix civilization?"

I could only perfunctory him on the phone and said: "I don't know if it is, but the thing is quite old. If it is really something from the Phoenix civilization, I think it must be worth a lot of money, so I want to ask you about the Phoenix civilization. thing."

Hearing what I said, Li Kai was silent at first, and after a while, he said: "About the Phoenix civilization, I think it's better for you to know less. If there is something about the Phoenix civilization, I think you should act as soon as possible, otherwise will bring disaster to you."

I still wanted to ask, but Li Kai hung up the phone.I sat in the car, thought carefully for a while, and felt that there was something in Li Kai's words, as if there was something hiding from me.Moreover, his previous personality was completely different from his present one. According to my inference, something must have happened to him.

It was already noon at this time, and I was driving aimlessly by myself, thinking about what happened in front of me, but I still couldn't figure out a clue.

What is the identity of the mysterious man in black who assassinated me?Also, why did Officer He want me to rob the tomb? What is his real identity? Are the three dead girls related to him?

These problems are like a mountain, pressing on me, making me almost out of breath.

At this time, the boss of the auction house called me and told me that the auction of the flute was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. He told me that thirteen bidders had signed up and all paid deposits.

You must know that Dongjiang City is not a big city, and there are not many people who can put up a deposit of 100 million yuan, but for some reason, for that mysterious flute, they are vying to pay [-] billion yuan to buy it.

It seems that there is indeed a problem with the rich list selected by Forbes. In this society, there are indeed countless rich people hiding in the dark.

In the afternoon, I went to a very experienced antique shop. The owner of this antique shop is considered an old friend of mine. I also entrusted him to sell several cultural relics stolen from the tomb.

This antique store is located in an unremarkable town on the edge of the city. Although the store is unremarkable, I know that the owner's business is very prosperous.

This ancient tomb shop mainly deals in ancient weapons and hidden weapons, which has become something that many young people like today.Of course, all the fakes or imitations are displayed outside, but they are also expensive. Only real regular customers will invite them into the back room and buy real antiques back. Of course, the prices are also ridiculously high, worth millions of yuan at every turn. RMB.

The reason why I went to this boss today is also for a reason, because I want him to identify the hidden weapon of the man in black.

I have observed the hidden weapon of the man in black for a long time, but I still don't know what it is made of. Although it is diamond-shaped and reflective, I can be sure that it is not glass.Because this hidden weapon feels very round, it seems to be an antique.

The owner of this antique shop is an expert in identifying ancient weapons and hidden weapons. Once he even told me that the Wang Jian collected in a certain museum was a fake, and he also cited many examples to prove his point. I admire the five-body cast.

The owner of the antique shop was very polite when he saw me coming, and said, "Xiao Lin, why are you free to come to my place today?"

I politely replied: "Master Qin, I'm here today to ask you to appraise something."

Hearing what I said, Master Qin, the owner of the antique shop, seemed extremely excited. He took me into the back room and asked me in a low voice, "Why, you have something interesting again?"

I nodded, took out the diamond-shaped flying knife from my pocket, and asked him, "Master Qin, what kind of hidden weapon do you think this is?"

Master Qin took the diamond-shaped flying knife, looked at it carefully, and his face immediately became serious.He said to me: "Xiaolin, wait a moment, let me study it carefully." After finishing speaking, he found the lighting, adjusted the brightness, and put the diamond-shaped flying knife under the magnifying glass to look carefully again and again.

As he studied deeply, his face became more and more serious. He knew that this indicated that he was getting closer to the truth, so he didn't dare to disturb him.

After a while, Master Qin's dignified face eased slightly, and he said, "Xiao Lin, how did you get this thing?"

Of course I would not tell the truth, just said: "Master Qin, I found this in the antique market. I like it very much because of its beautiful appearance, but the more I play with it, the more strange it becomes. It doesn't seem to be a modern glass product. It seems It’s some kind of stone, and seeing the traces of polishing around it, I’m sure it might be a hidden weapon from ancient times, so I’m here to ask Master Qin to appraise it.”

Seeing what I said, Master Qin said: "Xiao Lin, it's a good thing you came to appraise it early. In my opinion, you'd better sell this thing as soon as possible. If there is a suitable person who wants to buy it, you can sell it!"

I was very strange in my heart, and asked quickly: "Master Qin, what is the reason? Why did you sell him for no reason?"
