Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

"Why did you run into the coffin, little brother! We almost thought it was a zongzi inside, or a very irritable zongzi, alas!" the white coat fussed, he said that I am irritable, I don't want to comment I don't have time to spare.

I waved my hand, saying stop talking nonsense, and help me get out of here quickly.

Zhang Rui and the white coat pulled me out of the coffin, and I fell to the ground and lay there for a while, dying to say: "There is still an incense burner, it's on the stone steps below, pull him up quickly."

Zhang Rui and the white coat looked at each other.The white coat asked: "Incense burner? Ming vessel? Gold, silver, jade, or blue and white porcelain? Wait, why does it sound like a living thing..."

I was dizzy by his words: "No, it's Young Master Long."

As soon as Zhang Rui heard it, he ran to the coffin and jumped down to find the incense burner.The white coat looked at me and shook his head: "Brother, you really give people nicknames. You called me 'Old White' before. There is no word '白' in my name! allusion?"

Who makes you always like to wear a white coat, I am too embarrassed to say so, so I just rolled my eyes: "I forgot, maybe your skin is white."

I was just talking casually, I didn't expect that the white coat would put gold on my face.

"Yo," he touched his cheek, and said happily, "hey, I've taken good care of it in the past two years, and it's really whitened a lot."

It is said that a big man has a delicate mind, and the white gown also pays so much attention to appearance, no wonder he still wears a snow-white gown, which is neater than Zhang Rui from head to toe.

On the other side, Zhang Rui and Cao Pitou worked together to drag the incense burner up, and the incense burner fell on Zhang Rui unconsciously. I watched my heart tremble, wondering if he could survive this test, and comforted myself, This person is so skilled that anyone who can go in and out of the bucket for a long time will be hard-pressed, so he shouldn't die so easily.

Zhang Rui called out to the white coat: "Old Zhen, show me the injury."

I thought to myself that there was at least a Mongolian doctor here, so I felt relieved.

Taking advantage of the white coat to check the injury on the incense burner, I was completely paralyzed on the ground.Zhang Rui walked over to me: "Where does the lower port lead to?"

"It leads to a coffin chamber, but there is nothing inside, and the coffin is empty." I thought for a while, "Oh, yes, I saw that the five people you mentioned who went in with the incense burner last time all died in the tomb. The incense burner said that they were greedy for money and died of poisoning while touching gold."

Zhang Rui declined to comment, frowning as if considering my words.

I think this person is like a deep pool of water that can't be seen through, and his heart is as careful as a needle. I guess he can't hide anything from him.The incense burner said that one of the three of them was fake, and I don't know what that means, but I subjectively hope that Zhang Rui is not the person that the incense burner said.

I hesitated for a moment, and said: "The incense burner should not harm us. He has great powers. He is our protection in the ancient tomb. We should trust him."

Zhang Rui's expression changed slightly. Looking at me, he half-closed his eyes and faintly evoked a faint smile: "What happened to you in the coffin chamber? After a while, you will changed."

I blinked ignorantly, feeling inexplicably embarrassed by his question.

Brother Zhang's choice of words and sentences is very good. It sounds like a simple sentence, as if there is some deep meaning hidden.I don't understand why he asked, what did you guys do in the tomb...

How can he analyze this sentence in detail, it is very awkward? !

Just as I was thinking this way, the white coat actually added more embellishment: "Tsk tsk, I said brother, let's see what you have done to my young master, ouch, what a crime!"

I was so angry that I gritted my teeth, damn it, he passed out and passed out, and I was the one who tormented him!

I said: "Old Bai, there is a road below, straight, neither long nor short, you can send him back and recite it, then you will know how evil it is."

"Yo, you were the one who carried him here, alas, at the critical moment of life and death, you never leave him, never leave him, this feeling is a lesson from heaven and earth!"

"..." I almost spit out a mouthful of blood, I'm dead, what pot is not being lifted!

Turning his head, Zhang Rui's face was not very good-looking, staring at me, I felt hairy.

"Ahem, what...there is a mechanism in the tomb, we were locked in the coffin and almost suffocated to death, and then I accidentally found a way out under the coffin." Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't wash himself off, so he wanted to quickly divert his attention, "What about you? What kind of place is this?"

I looked around and it looked like a stone chamber.Zhang Ruidao: "This is a side room distributed on another tomb passage. After the tomb door was closed, we wanted to try to see if it could be opened from the outside, but we couldn't find the mechanism. Later, Cao Pitou remembered that he was carrying a tomb and searched it from you. The letter that came out, I think you have seen it, there is a ghost face drawn on the letter.

I was stunned, and opened my mouth: "God, I know, you hijacked me for that thing, right? You didn't attack Tong Bo, did you?"

"Brother, it was Uncle Tong who attacked us!" The white coat yelled loudly, "That old man played us around, and he took away his mother's wooden box. If it weren't for this, we would have I won't come to you again!"

I looked at Zhang Rui in astonishment: "The box was stolen?"

Zhang Ruidao: "The box was originally locked in a safe and kept in my eldest brother's room. I don't know when it disappeared. It was already a month later when I found it. Tongbo escaped. We guessed that he might have stolen it. Except us Among our own people and you, only he has seen that box. And the only person we know who has a relationship with Tongbo is you, so we had to ask the young master to bring you. Unexpectedly, you don’t know anything. "

"You think I'm pretending to be confused?"

"How do we know that you are different from your old man, you are a complete outsider." The white coat spread his hands, "Thank you, young master, for guaranteeing you, otherwise you would have been killed by Lao Cheng long ago!"

I was stunned, and Zhang Rui added: "After Boss Cheng found the ghost face talisman on you, he thought you were useless, so he wanted to kill people in the woods. I saved you."

I nodded in a daze, unavoidably a little scared, if it weren't for the incense burner, it seems that my dead body would have been gnawed to pieces by wild birds in the wild forest.

Zhang Rui doesn't seem to be making up a lie, but I'm still skeptical.

Knowing people, knowing face, not knowing heart, I have known Tong Bo for many years, and I always thought he was just a small owner who ran an antique shop, he was kind and talkative, but if he had hidden something, I can't help feeling chills when I think about it.

I remembered one thing and asked Zhang Rui: "Is that man in a suit in the bar that day your elder brother?" Actually, I wasn't sure if Zhang Rui was in it or not. Personal faces are remembered.

However, the "boss Zhang" mentioned by the incense burner, Zhang Rui is also surnamed Zhang, I think the two are always related.

Zhang Rui's expression was a bit complicated, he opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.

I don't understand what he is hesitating about, but he really avoided the question and said, "Let's get down to business, we found a road hidden in the ghost face talisman drawn on that piece of paper, so we followed the guidance above to get here. One tomb passage is hidden in the gap between the other two tomb passages, if it weren't for the ghost face amulet, we might not be able to find it."

I could see that Zhang Rui was trying to hide something, so I couldn't get to the bottom of it.Lao Tzu is a man who knows the times.

I turned to ask: "What are you looking for? The tomb has been robbed, and you have taken all the valuable things you can, and you don't seem to be short of money."

Zhang Rui didn't answer, but called Cao Pitou to come over and asked him to take out the ghost face talisman.

After fumbling around for a long time, I took out the paper, and it was indeed the letter that Uncle Tong had left for me, but the top half of the paper was missing.

Zhang Rui held the paper in front of me: "This paper is only half, do you know what the other half is?"

At this time, I secretly made a logical calculation.

After I got this letter from Xiaotong, I went home with it in my arms, and was attacked at the door of my house.Now I am sure that the person who attacked me should be the incense burner, and he is used to being alone, and he is very cautious in his actions, so he must have checked the items I brought with me.But from what Zhang Rui said just now, it is inferred that the letter was found by Luo Shanan from me, that is to say, the incense burner had seen the letter before Zhang Rui and the others, and then hid the part of the line and Put the remaining half back on me.

I think there must be some intention of the incense burner doing this, so I have to ask him carefully afterwards.He is not with Zhang Rui and the others, and I also want to help the incense burner hide it now.

So I shook my head: "This letter was given to me by Uncle Tong's great-grandson. It was only half a sheet of paper. I also found it a bit strange, but it may be that after Uncle Tong drew it on a stack of letter paper, when he tore it off, there was only half a piece of paper. Half a sheet? We do that sometimes, memorizing a phone number and tearing off a small piece."

Zhang Rui frowned slightly, expressing doubts.

I hurriedly said again: "However, I don't know why Uncle Tong drew a ghost face for me. Is it related to this ancient tomb?"

Zhang Rui nodded: "After the red sandalwood box was opened, there was such a ghost face engraved on one side of it." He seemed to think of something, and suddenly paused, "That mural!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around, walked quickly to the wall and helped up the unconscious incense burner leaning on the ground, as if he was eager to prove something, he acted in a hurry, and greeted everyone: "Let's go back to the tomb passage just now, the mural must be Something is wrong!"

A group of people hurriedly came to a vaulted tomb passage. This tomb passage was built in a segmental style, with extremely complicated suspension beams. I couldn't tell which dynasty it was in.There are deep ditches on both sides, but there is no water, it does not seem to be a sink.

There are murals on the walls on both sides of the tomb passage, the colors are bright and gorgeous, from one end to the other, filling the walls of the entire tomb passage, it seems that it was completed in one go.

The murals in ancient tombs generally have metaphors related to the owner of the tomb, either narrative, or belief, or used to hide some secrets.

For example, a ciphertext can be a seemingly meaningless string of words or numbers, but in fact there is information hidden in it; acrostics can be very common praises of mountains and rivers, but there are hidden code words at the beginning and end.

Murals also serve this purpose.

The murals on the walls on both sides here are roughly symmetrical, but there are subtle differences.The content of the painting is a legend.It means that the Yellow Emperor dreamed of the legendary Huaxu Kingdom in his dream, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the supplies are abundant. It is like a paradise, a place like a fairyland of bliss.In the sky, nine golden-bodied swimming dragons shuttled among the clouds, with golden lights shining everywhere, a fantasy and grandeur.The sound of the dragon's crow vibrated the world, and the color of the world changed.After the Yellow Emperor woke up, he ordered to cast a sacrificial bronze tripod.

The last part of the mural tells the story that after the bronze tripod was cast, the Yellow Emperor really saw the golden body swimming dragon in his dream, and the coiled nine dragons covered the sky and the sun.

After reading the story, I was a little idle again. With my white coat on my shoulders, he gave me a very dissatisfied look.

A few steps away from us, Zhang Rui squinted his eyes, showing that familiar inscrutable smile on the corner of his mouth.When he smiles like this, it often makes people feel very ecstasy.

He said: "The sky has nine levels, and the dragon has nine sons. If we compare them one by one, it is said in "Taixuan", one is Zhongtian, the other is Xiantian, the third is Congtian, the fourth is Gengtian, and the fifth is Zhutian. , the sixth is Kuotian, the seventh is Tiantian, the eighth is Shentian... Sure enough, the eighth dragon is Nilin."

As I listened, I felt ashamed, this little brother’s eyesight was extraordinary, the scales on those dragons were drawn so meticulously that he couldn’t count them, and there was not enough light in the tomb, so he could still tell which dragon was Nilin.

The white coat muttered, "Tsk, this man really wanted to rebel, but the emperor preempted him."

I have already read the life of the owner of the tomb written on the silk script in the coffin chamber, so I couldn't help but nodded.

At this time, Zhang Rui put down the incense burner, groped along the wall, stopped at a place, and suddenly smiled triumphantly: "Huh, I found it."
