Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

When Shen Er mentioned the eight mutton fat jade boxes, I remember his expression was very subtle.

It was a look of salivating for the unreachable treasure but helpless.

Because of the influence of his family environment, this guy has no interest in antiques but has a little research. I was curious at the time that even a heartless and unpursuing person like him could show such a thing when he mentioned something. An intriguing expression, it can be seen that something is unusual.

Although I couldn't see my own expression, I thought it might be exactly the same as Shen Er's expression at that time.No, it should be said that my expression must be much more exaggerated than his.

Because that thing is right in front of me now.

Putting the eight mutton fat jade boxes together is really indescribably pleasing to the eye, but I am an uninitiated layman. The interest is far less than the mystery behind them.

Now, what I desperately want to know is an answer.

Seven jade boxes have been opened, and only the smallest one remains unopened.I took a deep breath to calm myself down and opened the last suet jade box.

After opening it, I couldn't laugh or cry, I didn't know what to say.

What's in the jade box?

I thought I could see what the prince showed Shen Qianjiu back then, and it was for this purpose that I wanted to open these jade boxes.

But everyone must have thought of something when they saw this.

In the story told by Shen Er, after all eight suet jade boxes were opened, the prince finally took out a red sandalwood box.

And that red sandalwood box is the one in the suit man's hands, and it is also the source of getting me involved in this fight.

Therefore, there is naturally nothing in the jade box in front of me.

I leaned melancholy on the side of the coffin, staring blankly at these jade boxes, my heart felt empty all of a sudden, and my stomach felt uncomfortable as if it had been disturbed.

Will their secrets never be known to the world?

The incense burner asked me: "What's wrong?"

I shrugged and shook my head helplessly, not knowing what to say.

However, at this moment, I stared at the smallest jade box, and suddenly felt a sense of incongruity.

The bottom of this jade box seems to be a bit thicker than the other seven.

With a flash of inspiration in my heart, I picked up the jade box and tore off the bottom cloth.Sure enough, there was a pressing stone hidden underneath!I dug out the pressure stone, and as I expected, there was a dark layer underneath, and a piece of yellow silk was placed in the dark layer.

Although the red sandalwood box in the jade box was taken away, it was unexpectedly replaced by a silk book.

The silk book is something that the ancients used to record important and secret events on silk. Since this silk book was placed in a jade box related to the owner and buried with the clothes tomb, I think the silk book may record about that person. The life of the prince.

My mood suddenly revived again, and the excitement was born spontaneously.

Since staying in the coffin was really uncomfortable, I climbed out of the coffin and said to the incense burner, "Lend me my flashlight."

The incense burner was silent, and I threw the torch over. After I caught it, I hurriedly read the contents on the silk book.

Fortunately, the prince was from the Ming Dynasty. Although the small seal script used at that time is difficult for modern people to read, I have also studied some seal script because of writing novels about tomb robbers, and the characters on the silk script can be roughly understood .This is also thanks to Qin Shihuang's great contribution to the unified writing.

The ancients wrote books with concise words and sentences. There are not many words in silk books, but they cover a lot of information, and some small things about sesame and mung beans are also recorded in it.From these things, it can be seen that this prince is indeed an extremely weird person.

Here I can only give a general overview of the more important parts. Even if those trivial daily things are described, I think everyone will be impatient.

This prince did not have an official title in his life, and the historian at that time was ordered by the emperor not to record any deeds of this person in the annals, so the silk script recorded as much as possible the big and small events of his life.But at the same time, the silk script also said that if his name was brought up, everyone would know it, but the imperial decree was hard to violate, and those who recorded it did not dare to take the risk of resisting the decree, so they could only use a substitute name to replace the prince's original name.

The silk script referred to this prince as the "King of Qi", but there are many clues leaked in the following texts, which made me think that this king of Qi might be the unlucky emperor of the Ming Dynasty in history, Zhu Yunwen.

I couldn't wait to verify my guess, so I said to the incense burner, "Have you read this silk book?"

I thought he should be as curious as me and opened the jade box, but he stared at me for a while and shook his head.

I shrugged in disappointment.In fact, I was just guessing wildly, because Zhu Yunqi and this prince did not belong to the same dynasty at all. After nearly 200 years, how could they be the same person.

This "King of Qi" has raised a group of Mojin school lieutenants, but they have not been rewarded for decades.One day, he invited a master of geomancy to his mansion as a guest. Unexpectedly, they hit it off right away and talked very happily. The prince kept him in the mansion for a long time, treated him as a distinguished guest, and treated him very kindly.Later, the master geomancy really found a thousand-year-old tomb for the prince, and it is said that there are secret treasures from the ancient times buried in it.

Afterwards, the prince listened to the advice of Master Gemyu, recruited talents, and established an elite army. This army was not used to attack cities and villages, but a huge army for money.

When the time was right, the prince sent this army to search for the thousand-year-old tomb.

But not long after, news about the recruitment of soldiers and horses leaked, the emperor suspected that he was going to rebel, and ordered him to be imprisoned, and all relatives and retainers in the mansion were exiled into the army.

The prince later suffered from depression, and he did not wait for the return of the gold-grabbing army until his death.Although the emperor later found out the ins and outs and sent people to search for it, it took more than three years and five years, but he still couldn't find the whereabouts of the gold-touching army.

It stands to reason that such a huge army will always leave some clues after traveling thousands of miles, but that army seems to have disappeared suddenly. Everyone speculates that they may have been wiped out in the thousand-year-old tomb.

Later, the emperor decreed that "King Qi" be buried as a prince, and the funeral team transported the coffin all the way to this place, where it was buried in the underground palace that "King Qi" personally supervised and built for himself.However, the biography about him was completely erased, and the army of touching gold would never be mentioned again.

I think that the reason why there are many traces of imitation in everything in this tomb is probably because "King Qi" was obsessed with the relationship of inversion all his life, and put all the things he had seen from other people's tombs into his private house.

It's just a pity that the last person to live in is just a tomb of clothes.

I sat on the steps, my heart filled with melancholy and mixed feelings.

Although there are many discrepancies between the story Shen Er told me and the one recorded in the silk script, I guess that the "Master of Kanyu" should be Shen Qianjiu. As for which of the two versions is the truth, it is not really important, because the past has been told by people. There are always deviations from pen to pen.I don't think that the person who wrote the silk script must have recorded it truthfully, and Shen Er's dilapidated notebook may also have elements of fabrication.

I don't have to know all the facts, just that there's something going on.After all, there are many things in history that we will never be able to understand thoroughly.

I let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a little lost for a moment.I saw that the incense burner was walking around the coffin, looking for something, but suddenly, he turned his head to look at the entrance of the tomb—the door through which we came in.

He frowned tightly, his eyes were extremely sharp.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression change, I couldn't help but mention it in my heart.

Just when I asked this question, there was a crisp "cluck" sound from the ear room we passed through before.

I hurriedly jumped up, my whole body tensed up: "What's that sound?!"

"The corpse has been lifted." The incense burner said lightly.

I was shocked: "Didn't you say that those coffins are empty?!"

"I'm afraid that there is something inside, so you dare not come over."

"..."

Damn, how dare you look down on me with this incense burner that kills thousands of knives!

I was a little annoyed, and really scared at the same time.I am not afraid of zongzi, because I think that with the incense burner, the army of zongzi in the cave of thousands of corpses can be cleaned up, not to mention that there are only 64 coffins in the ear room, 64 of them.

What I am afraid of is that if the zongzi enters the tomb and touches the mechanism in the tomb, I may become Benkei in an instant!

I was about to ask what to do with the incense burner, but the incense burner rushed down the steps in three or five steps. He walked like flying, as fast as a gust of wind. With a flash of his figure, he passed the square like a shadow, and headed towards the ear chamber. go.

I opened my mouth wide and was speechless.

Are those 1000 or [-] steps to tease Lao Tzu? !
