[Notes on Tomb Raiders] Return to Wushan

Chapter 11 The Identity of the Tomb Owner

The main tomb chamber is much larger than the two ear chambers. There is a rectangular stone platform in the middle, and on top of the stone platform is a stone coffin, which has not been opened. Similar to three-dimensional relief.

The main tomb has beams and wooden eaves, and the workmanship is much finer than that of the front hall. The black paint on it is mottled to varying degrees. Fortunately, there are no carvings, so it doesn't matter much. The murals on both sides of the wall are the same as those in the accompanying tomb. It has a certain narrative quality.

I took a closer look and found that the owner of the tomb was probably an aide of a great man. That great man became a powerful official in the court. They worked together and experienced various incidents. The master he served was quite powerful, and he was the number one dog in front of that person, so the burial treatment after his death was much higher than that of ordinary people, and the last picture was him and that high official surrounded by auspicious clouds The fairy world gathers.

After reading it, I thought that the boss of the owner of the tomb is so powerful. The scale of the tombs of his subordinates is so high that they are almost comparable to the princes of small countries. So this tells us that instead of working hard It's better to find a good boss to get twice the result with half the effort.

Except for the murals that revealed a little information about the owner of the tomb, there is nothing useful to see in the main tomb. Just like our previous impression of this tomb, the poor and particular, the fat man has long been itchy

"I think we've been blind for a long time here, why don't we open a coffin, maybe we can find something like an epitaph in it, the fat man won't believe it, a fight of such a large scale, there can be no oil or water at all. "

It seems that the fat man pinned his final hope on the funeral objects in the coffin of the tomb owner. In fact, we are still at a loss. Except for those monsters deliberately guarding against unicorn blood, there is no other information related to the ultimate in this tomb. , if Mu An is not by my side right now, I would have suspected that he was playing with us. We have gone through a lot of hardships along the way, and if we return without success, we will be like a joke.

A group of us searched in the main tomb to no avail, and all turned our attention to the coffin in the middle of the tomb. The younger brother went up to check the gaps in the coffin. He touched it back and forth carefully twice, and nodded to Tianzhen after confirming that it was correct. The innocent will hand over a crowbar if he understands it.

Seeing the tacit understanding between the two of them, I was also very happy in my heart. Sure enough, no matter how close you eat candy, it is sweet.

The little brother first peeled off the outer sealing wax with a knife, and then poked the crowbar in. After he pried and pushed, the lid of the coffin had fallen to the ground on the other side, revealing the coffin inside. true colors.

The coffin looks very strange. The outer coffin is covered with reliefs representing auspiciousness, but the inner coffin has no decoration at all, and the whole body is reddish brown. If the corners were not smoothed, an arched coffin was made The cover is no different from a wooden box.

Naively wondered

"Could it be that the owner of the tomb is very poor, and the outsiders are just trying to show off?"

The little brother was silent, apparently this was beyond his cognition. Although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs run away. I have never heard of anyone who spent a long time building a tomb just to Buried hastily, it's like gold and jade on the outside, it's not necessary to die like this to save face after everyone is buried.

The little brother didn’t hesitate too much, just checked briefly and then used a crowbar to pry open the plain coffin. When the coffin was opened, a stench rushed into my face. The weirdest and most unpleasant smell that I have smelled in 20 years. It is the first time I have experienced that the smell can really irritate the eyes, and naively they seem to be used to it. They just hold their breath a little to let the smell disperse. The fat man looks at me like this happy

"Sure enough, it's a green head who just got on the gang. You can't stand the smell before you are naive and beriberi. After I see the girl, you should stop fighting with us. Just a little bit of anything can toss you to death."

After hearing this innocently, I couldn't help kicking the fat man.

"Your athlete's foot is so stinky. Believe it or not, I'll beat you up if you keep fucking talking nonsense."

"Naively, I found that your idol burden is a bit serious. Lai Pi is not a good comrade."

I didn't answer the fat man's words, I held back the stench and squeezed my nose to look at it. Inside the coffin was a mummy lying quietly. The skin was black and purple, tightly stretched on the skeleton, and the shroud on his body was rotten. Eighth, beside the mummy's hand was a palm-sized stone slab, densely engraved with ancient characters.

The little brother took out the slate, dusted the surface of the slate, and illuminated the words on it with a flashlight. Tian Zhen and Mu An leaned on both sides. It seemed that they were all looking at the contents of the slate. Fatty and I both An illiterate person doesn't understand anything, the fat man is a little anxious

"What are you three watching? Let me translate it. It makes me feel a little bit involved. I'm like a spectator here."

I hastened to agree, naively made some noisy gestures, and after they finished reading a few minutes later, naively let out a sigh of relief, and then explained to us

"This is written on the tomb owner's life, similar to the epitaph. The tomb owner was originally an orphan, starving and freezing all day long. Later, he was appreciated by a high-ranking official. The name of this high-ranking official is Lin Xianyi. Officer, the owner of the tomb became Lin Xianyi's staff. After decades passed, Lin Xianyi retired and returned home. The relationship between the two brothers was so good that they wore the same pair of pants, so the owner of the tomb followed Lin Xianyi back to his hometown. After returning, the owner of the tomb found that Lin Xianyi was worried all day long, so he asked him what was the matter. Lin Xianyi said that their family had a secret from the depths of the Changbai Mountains. Lin Xianyi became an official in the imperial court by accident, violating the family's ancestral precepts of avoiding the world. He was worried that his children would be targeted by people who were watching this secret, and he couldn't sleep all day because of worry. Later, the two brothers didn't know what they thought together After finding a way to solve this problem, Lin Xianyi found a Fengshui treasure cave for him and built this large tomb here to thank him. .”

What Tianzhen said was very simple, the fat man understood it right away, and he expressed doubts after listening

"Since there isn't even a single hair, what kind of monster is this person using so many organs in his fight, so that his descendants can exercise their bodies during worship?"

Shaking his head naively, pointing to the last two lines

"No, he also wrote at the end, because the future is unpredictable, and in order to prevent the descendants of the Lin family from suffering if the matter is revealed, he left this stone tablet, and the Lin clan can turn evil into good luck when they see the monument, because they are afraid of this stone tablet. The stele fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, so he set up all these traps."

"Damn, what is this? He left a broken sign and just told a fucking story. What's the use of it? Could it be that he let the Lin family use this stone as a weapon to beat each other to death? Feelings come all the way , didn’t catch anything, Mu’an, you are pockmarked or not, you are called a cheater.” The fat man was extremely dissatisfied.

Mu An felt innocent, "How do I know what's in here, I'll come if the organization asks me to come, don't worry, we'll look for it carefully, maybe we missed something."

Things have turned out like this, and everyone is very depressed. Although from this stone tablet, we know that the owner of the tomb is indeed related to the ultimate. He helped the Lin Xianyi family who hide the ultimate secret to solve a worry for the future, but what is the secret and what is it? He didn't say anything about the solution, but simply described the matter, and it also involved another family related to the ultimate, the Lin family, so why didn't the Zhang family know about it.

I don't know why, but in the naive narration, I always feel something is wrong, especially about Lin Xianyi and the Lin family. I think carefully about what I just said naively, trying to find out what makes me feel strange.

At this time, the fat man had already touched the coffin cursingly, to see if he could find any valuable artifacts.

I thought about it, and ran through the Zhang family's affairs in my mind. The Lin family, the Zhang family... I suddenly seemed to have caught a thread, and I hurriedly said to my little brother

"Brother, have your Zhang family been guarding the Bronze Gate all this time? This mission has been passed down for many generations, and you also said before that you are the last spirit of the Zhang family, and you must guard it for all the days to come." wrong?"

The little brother nodded, only looked at me suspiciously, and I continued:

"The Zhang family has mastered the secret of the Bronze Gate, so your ancestral motto is 'retain', to protect the family from generation to generation to guard this secret, but in what Brother Tianzhen said just now, as the Lin family who also discovered the secret of the Bronze Gate, the ancestral motto is 'Escape from the world', obviously they have implemented this principle very well, so good that even the Zhang family doesn't know the existence of the Lin family."

I paused, feeling the thoughts in my mind become clearer

"The Lin family needs to keep this secret, but they don't need to guard the bronze gate, as if they are not afraid of being discovered in the end, combined with what Mu An said before, the end may not be complete before the Zhang family finds out, will it be Yes, the first person to discover the ultimate is actually the Lin family. He took away a part of the ultimate, and then passed it down from generation to generation, so they have to hide it desperately. As long as the Lin family is not discovered, the ultimate will never be complete , and no one will ever know what the real truth behind the bronze door is."

After I finished speaking, the air fell into silence. They were thinking about the logic of my words. In fact, I felt a little weak when I said it. Among these people, only I have the lowest participation and know the least things, but I don’t know. Why, an intuition suddenly popped up in my heart and told me that this matter is like this, and my idea is correct.

"Don't look at the girl who usually looks silly like an oil bottle. There is a bit of truth in talking about things, but the inscription says that the Lin family can turn evil into good fortune when they see this stele. It's nothing special, could it be that only the Lin family can crack the secret? Where are the descendants of the Lin family now, could they have been discovered by the organization." Tian Zhen thoughtfully

The little brother repeatedly weighed the stone tablet in his hand, and then carefully checked along the texture. Mu An patted my shoulder to show encouragement

"I don't know what the organization has and what it wants to get from this tomb. All we can do now is to continue to search for more information from this tomb."

Then came the fat man's yelling

"This dried rice dumpling is so fucking worthless. It doesn't even have an embalming bead. It's just the chain around the neck. I don't know if it's made of pure gold. The fat man collected it as travel expenses first. It's a bloody loss on this journey."

"Stop!" The little brother yelled, stood up suddenly and rushed over to hold the fat man

It's a pity that it was too late, the fat man had just pulled off the chain when a series of "click" sounds sounded, and the mechanism started.
