Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

We sat in the roadside tea shop all afternoon. We started talking about women and cars, and then we turned to this bizarre experience of the ancestors of the Shen family.

I saw that Shen Er was about to fall under the chair, so I hurriedly said with a smile that I was joking just now, to enliven the atmosphere.Shen Er stared at me with red eyebrows and green eyes, emphasizing that this past event was absolutely true from his ancestral notes, saying that he is a loyal and warm-hearted person, and he dug out the notes at the bottom of the box and read them all night when he saw that I was exhausted. , as he spoke, he took a sip of tea, finally recovering.

Seeing that he was not going to tell any more, I asked, "Have you finished telling this story?"

"It's over!" After Shen Ershun was overwhelmed, he put his hand on my neck and said with a proud face, "How about it, isn't this experience of my ancestors confusing and exciting?"

"It's okay." I looked at the sky.

"Then do you feel that Wen Siquan is full of inspiration at this moment, that you can immediately write a million-word novel after three months of hard work when you go home? Damn, I have never looked at that broken notebook so carefully, you have to give it to me." Let me fight up, don't let the dark circles in my two eye sockets get burned for nothing!"

I sighed, feeling that my shoulders were sore, I picked up his sensual hand and shook it away, and said: "Your story has a beginning and an end, and the most important part is all a mystery. Even if I want to justify myself, I am afraid of it Don't come here!"

Shen Er glared at me, cursed meekly, and said, "I just said that you should give up the unreliable career of writing novels, and you have no imagination at all. Didn't I already explain the cause of the matter, After that, the details of a few links are very clear, and there is only a tail, and you still don’t know how to talk about it yourself? So, according to your thinking just now, you said that the third child was actually reincarnated from ghosts and gods, with great magical powers, and later brought Watching the two senior brothers break through many traps, save the day, and finally solve the mystery of the entire imperial tomb and escape safely, the ending doesn't need to be too clear, leaving some suspense for readers to relive, it's popular now...Damn, I feel I can write novels!"

I rolled my eyes and said, "I'm writing tomb robbery novels, not ghost novels."

"Is it different?"

"..."

I curled my lips, thinking that I dare you to say that you have read my novels, you really are fooling me.

To explain some things so that Shen Er can understand is much more difficult than writing a million-word novel.I was too lazy to waste my words, so I took a sip of plum tea and sorted out what Shen Er said in my mind.

In fact, if Shen Er's story is complete except for the tail, the other parts are very complete, especially the beginning, which makes me feel that he is long-winded.

He started with Shen Qianjiu who was an official in the capital at the time. It must be mentioned here that his ancestor was an official who was not too big or too small, and it was a very lucrative job.

Shen Qianjiu's official title is "Kanyu Zhangyan Sihu".

The ancients called Fengshui "Kanyu", and "Zhangyan" is a term in antiques, which refers to the identification of antique jade.Most of these words in the official name are extended meanings. I guess this official may be dedicated to appraising Fengshui treasure points for the royal family.

This is true on the surface, but what Shen Qianjiu is looking at is not the feng shui of the above-ground buildings, but the underground.To put it more clearly, he is fighting against the royal family, that is, "official downfall".

Although everyone knows that "Dou Dou" is tomb robbery, I still want to talk about it.

Because the tomb of the ancients was shaped like a funnel, digging out the tomb is like turning it upside down from the inside out, so tomb robbery is also called "inverted bucket".

There are other more formal names for tomb robbery.

It is said that Cao Cao was very poor when he raised his army. In order to prepare for the army's salary, he set up a tomb robbery agency.There are records in ancient books, saying that Cao Cao "specially set up Faqiu Zhonglang General and Mojin Xiaowei, and all his remains were exposed." This is a relatively formal tomb robbery organization recorded in history.

In the Shen family's notes, names such as "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Mojin Sihu" also appeared in the records about Shen Qianjiu. I think this should prove that Shen Qianjiu is a veritable "official down". ".

Of course, Shen Qianjiu's "official downfall" is different from the general "official downfall". It is estimated that there must be a certain prince in the royal family at that time who liked to collect antiques very much, and supported Shen Qianjiu by his side for his own personal hobbies. People, this kind of official position that does not appear on the stage should also be asked for from the emperor in private.

Because of such a special status, Shen Qianjiu got very close to the royal family and nobles.One day, a certain prince who always acted low-key invited him to his mansion and led him into a secret cabinet.

Note that when Shen Er was talking, he emphasized that the prince has always kept a low profile, so no third person noticed that he invited Shen Qianjiu to the palace.Afterwards, they also carried out in secret.Shen Er emphasized it three times, and I will record it truthfully here.

In the dark pavilion, the prince repeatedly checked the closure of the entrance, and asked whether Shen Qianjiu was followed by someone on the way to the palace. It seemed that he was about to say something very confidential, and if it was leaked out, it might be Lead to death.Shen Qianjiu could see that the prince was very nervous, almost a little nervous, as if someone would crawl in through the cracks in the door like ants to peep, and walked around the door several times to check.

Shen Qianjiu couldn't help becoming nervous.

He is an old man. He was nervous at this moment because of the special status of the prince, and on the other hand, he didn't know what important secrets the prince would reveal to him. He felt that he was unprepared and afraid that he would not be able to handle it.

But the prince didn't say anything after that.He went to the side shelf and took out a jade box. The jade box was quite big, like a jade pillow. It was flawless in white and soft in luster. It seemed to be cut and carved from a whole piece of suet jade.

Shen Qianjiu was a little surprised, thinking that the prince was going to show him some treasure.But remembering that this prince has never had a hobby of collecting treasures, his home is frugal, and there are hardly any high-end decorations in the hall.

So what happened to the jade box?How could there be such a rare thing hidden in the prince's house, and it was kept very secretively?

Even though Shen Qianjiu had many questions, there was a difference between master and servant, so she didn't dare to ask rashly.

There was only one copper lock on the jade box. The prince unlocked the lock with a golden key, and when the lid was lifted, another white as fat jade box appeared inside. lock up.

After repeating this, eight jade boxes were finally taken out, each of which was a circle smaller than the previous one, and could fit snugly into it.

Shen Qianjiu has visited countless tombs and seen many treasures, ordinary jade ornaments can no longer surprise him.However, the sight of these eight mutton fat jade boxes placed together still shocked him from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Qianjiu already had a premonition that the situation was unusual, but since he entered this secret cabinet, he knew that he had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and see what would happen next.

The prince opened the eighth jade box, and inside was a dark purple wooden box. Shen Qianjiu knew it was a high-quality red sandalwood box at a glance.The side of the wooden box was engraved with dragon patterns, and on the cover was a set of patterns of "five dragons and beads". Shen Qianjiu couldn't help taking a deep breath when she saw this carving pattern.

The dragon pattern is a symbol of the emperor.

Legend has it that when the Yellow Emperor was cast into a bronze tripod, a dragon descended from the Nine Heavens, and the Yellow Emperor rode the dragon to the Heavenly Palace. This sign indicates that the dragon and the emperor are one, and the dragon has become a symbol of the emperor.Beginning with Xia Yu, dragon patterns have been painted on the emperor's clothing. Except for the emperor, even if you are a relative of the emperor, collecting dragon pattern ornaments is considered a rebellious crime and a crime against the nine clans.

Shen Qianjiu's scalp was swollen, and cold sweat broke out on her back.The prince's hands also trembled slightly, looking quite nervous and a little excited.Before he was about to open the red sandalwood box, he suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "Shen Sihu, if you can't keep this matter a secret for this king, this king will definitely make you copy and kill the whole family and implicate the whole family!"

When I heard this, I felt that Shen Er was talking too much, so I waved him to fast forward.Shen Er's train of thought was interrupted by me, and when he resumed talking, he didn't say what the prince showed Shen Qianjiu.

Now all I know is that Shen Qianjiu and the prince didn't stay long after they came out of the dark pavilion, and immediately went home to pack their bags and take care of everything.Shen Qianjiu's wife and children felt that the master's actions seemed to be explaining the funeral, fearing that this trip would never come back, they were terrified.

Shen Qianjiu didn't mention anything other than family affairs, he was always cautious, and others didn't dare to ask more questions.Three days later, he prepared his tools and took his three apprentices on a long trip together.

I thought of the part that I missed before, and it seemed to be a more critical part, so I asked Shen Er: "What did the lord show your ancestor?"

Shen Er blinked at me: "It's because it wasn't written in the notes, so I didn't say it. I thought you'd forgotten about it."

Damn, this kid made it clear that he would shake me and make me happy!I was so angry that I had nothing to say, so I just drank my tea in silence.

After drinking tea, I saw that it was getting late, so I said it was time to go back and catch up on the manuscript, and I would invite him to drink tea next time.Shen Er was also very easy to dismiss. He made a phone call to Xiaohong, Xiaolu, Xiaohua and Xiaoye to soak up the horse.

Shen Er is a kid who relies on his wealth and spends his days outside. I think that the Shen family will lose money to him sooner or later, so I can't help feeling sorry for his ancestor.

When I got home, I took a hot shower, had a casual meal, and nestled on the bed to spread out the lazy table to catch up on the manuscript.

While typing, he remembered the story Shen Er told, and felt itchy in his heart, always having the urge to dig out all the ins and outs.

It's a pity that it happened at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The person who wrote it down should have turned into a mummified corpse in the tomb, excluding my nonsense. I can't dig him out and ask him.

I lay on the lazy table and fell asleep without knowing when. When I woke up, it was already noon the next day. After getting up and washing, I dug out bread and ham from the refrigerator to make a makeshift lunch.Just after eating, the phone rang suddenly.

Seeing that it was that kid Shen Er, he probably spent too much on something, and asked me to deal with the aftermath after maxing out his credit card.

I wanted to play sloppy and perfunctory, but Shen Er's voice on the phone sounded a little anxious, as if he was about to cry.

When I heard it, I was stunned: "You two, what happened? Could it be that you made a woman's belly bigger!"

Although Shen Er was lawless outside, the tutor at home was very strict. If he did something that disrespected public morals, his mother would definitely have his legs broken when he returned.

There was a bit of crying in Shen Er's voice, as anxious as if someone held a gun to his forehead, and tremblingly said: "Xiao Wang, what I told you yesterday, do you still remember that red sandalwood box?"

Not long after I woke up, my mind was still in a daze. It took me a long time to think about what Shen Er said: "Oh, I have a little impression. How should I say it?"

"Let me tell you, this is strange." Shen Er's voice became a little muffled, as if he was covering his mouth with his hand and said furtively, "A group of people spotted me in the bar today, and they gave me Look at a wooden box, I think that small box is very similar to the one written in my ancestor's notebook!"

I was stunned, and said inexplicably: "So what?" I said in my heart, is a wooden box worth you coming to me and crying?The big deal is that the lost treasures of your family were robbed by others. I'm not a policeman, so it's useless to find me!

Shen Er was so anxious that he was about to cry, and he stammered: "He, they want me to open that box. There seems to be some mechanism in the box, how can I open it! I told them that I have a friend who knows this kind of thing, and then I just... found you."

He said the last few words so falsely, I immediately became bored when I heard it, and scolded Shen Er in my heart, you really are a dick, you sold out your old classmate so easily!
