Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

I thought that Jiang Si would go with us, but later I found out that he was not involved in Daodou, and his parents were pure antique dealers. It was only because he got to know Zhang Rui that he had a little understanding of the inside story of the tomb robbers.Of course, considering Jiang Si's identity and profession, this is also reasonable.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Dadang, according to the route Zhang Rui arranged for us, the incense burner and I set off for Wuhan.

The road is not all smooth sailing. Tomb robbers must first cover their whereabouts and purpose well. In case something happens in the future and someone finds clues to track him down, it will be troublesome.To put it bluntly, we are just relatively high-end thieves, but we are still thieves in essence. An inversion operation must be carefully planned. Even if it is not an inversion, every step must be considered in the long run.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, we changed cars several times and tried to avoid roads and crowded places. At night, we slept in the wild, and we didn't set up tents.At this time, the terrible power of the incense burner as a Gu master was manifested. He drew a circle where we slept and sprinkled some kind of spices. He said that this would attract poisonous insects, and wild animals would not dare to approach them because they were afraid of poisonous insects. we have.

I asked him with horror whether the poisonous insects would attack us, and the incense burner said calmly, there is a contract between the "Gu" and the Gu master, as long as the Gu master does not violate the contract, the "Gu" will not attack the person who cast the Gu.To put it simply, with him here, poisonous insects dare not touch us.

And the "Incense of Gu" on him also has the function of manipulating the Gu worms not to approach us, but - the control range is relatively small.

This also led to the fact that I had to stick tightly to the body of the incense burner to ensure safety that night.I followed his instructions and tightened my body to attach to him. He left half of his shoulders so that I could lean more comfortably, and he wrapped his arms around my waist to prevent me from slipping down in the middle of the night.

We slept in a sleeping bag, keeping him half wrapped around me, although it felt subtle, but I endured it.

And before dawn, we started on our way again, passed by a baked potato stand, and each of us held a baked potato, squatting on the side of the railway track in winter, waiting for the freight train to be loaded.

The incense burner was gnawing on the yam silently. I looked at him, and although I felt sorry for the current plight, I felt a warm current flowing from the bottom of my heart.

He only ate half of it, and threw the remaining half to me and said, "I can't eat any more, you can eat it, don't waste it."

I don't know why, but when I saw him say such words with a cold face, I felt the urge to cry.

More than half a year ago, I was still a writer who only used my brain to conceive various legends of tomb robbery. I lived an ordinary life, but now I am in the scene, hiding in Tibet, and worrying all day like a wanted criminal. Complicated, it can only be said that things are impermanent.

It took three days on the road after so many twists and turns. The Shen family can be regarded as the local snake in Wuhan, so everything went much smoother when we arrived in Wuhan.

Shen Er drove us to the villa in the suburbs, settled us down, and basically spent the rest of the day relieving the fatigue of the journey, so he didn't do anything, and he didn't talk about the key.

Mrs. Shen's family warmly treated us to a seafood hot pot meal, which was the best meal we had in three days.Shen Er's four older sisters are really unbearable. Two of them surround me, and two of them surround the incense burner.

I saw that the incense burner was still calm under their siege, and I really admired his skill in my heart.

After the meal, Shen Er pulled me aside, pointed to the incense burner and quietly asked, "Who is this guy, why is he like a piece of wood?"

I laughed dryly, and said to myself that it's not easy if you can hold back until now to ask.

Although Shen Er had seen the incense burner before in Dali, but at that time the incense burner looked like a "hanging eye", but now it looks completely different, so he naturally doesn't recognize it.

I pretended to say: "He is a friend of Zhang Rui's, a very powerful person, please don't mess with him. I have already told you on the phone about the purpose of our visit to Wuhan this time, and we will discuss it in your study later. This matter must be kept secret for me, you know?"

Shen Er blinked his eyes as if he was a little dazed, and nodded again as if he understood again.

Remembering the hasty parting last time, I asked him with concern: "How are you and Ah Ling?"

Shen Er gave a thumbs up, the spring breeze was full of peach blossoms.

This kid is indeed a love sage, extraordinary.I patted him on the shoulder, and I couldn't help but envy in my heart, thinking that my relationship problems were still a mess, maybe I could ask the Great Love Sage for advice if I had the opportunity.

In the study at night, I took out the key and showed it to Shen Er.The incense burner sat on the sofa beside him, making no sound.

Shen Er took the key in front of him in a rare and serious manner, looked at it again and again, concentrated on thinking for a while, and said: "It's true that this mark belongs to our family, but the shape of this key is too weird, whose keyhole is longer? so?"

I couldn't tell why, so I could only shake my head at Shen Er with a sad face.

On the way to Wuhan, every time we got closer to Wuhan, the expression on the face of the incense burner became darker. When we arrived in Wuhan, he became more silent and indifferent. Although he usually doesn't talk much, but now he is more dull than usual. Since the afternoon, I haven't heard him say a word, and my brows are always furrowed in depression.

He had been huddled in the corner of the sofa by himself just now, with his head lowered in a daze.But just as Shen Er finished speaking, he suddenly spoke.

He looked up at us, at Shen Er to be precise, and asked, "Is there an old house in the Shen family?"

It was the first time Shen Er heard him speak. He opened his mouth to me like a ghost, and then he said to the incense burner, "How do you know? That house is too old, it has been abandoned for decades, and it was before the Cultural Revolution." People from my grandfather’s generation lived there, and then it was sealed off. Other than our own family members, outsiders probably don’t know about it!”

"...I also heard it from someone." Censer lowered his head.

I knew at a glance that his lies were lame again, and there was probably an inside story.Of course, I also expected that he would not explain.

Shen Er looked at me blankly, and clapped his hands vigorously as if he had figured it out: "Oh, I see! You mean to say that this key might be related to that old house? Hmm...it's very possible, this The mark on it is the seal used by our family several generations ago, probably earlier than the seal used by my grandfather!"

I hurriedly said: "I heard you said that every time the family seal of your family changes, the model will be changed."

"Yes." Shen Er propped his chin in one hand, and said triumphantly, "When it's my turn to be the master, I plan to change it into a rose petal shape, what do you think?"

I reminded Shen Er not to be crooked, and the incense burner walked up to Shen Er, lowered his head and asked politely: "If it's possible, can you take us to see the old house?"

"It's...it's okay," Shen Er looked at me, "but the place hasn't been taken care of for a long time, and I don't know what it's like now, it might be a bit troublesome to get in."

I said to the incense burner: "How do you decide, I will follow you."

The incense burner looked at Shen Er with a firm expression: "I want to take a look, please lead the way."

"That's fine, as long as you are not afraid of trouble, hey, I'm actually very happy, young master!" Shen Er rubbed his hands, "It looks like you guys are planning to go on a treasure hunt? Take me, I'm a professional tour guide!" He pointed to himself , looking eager to try.

I wonder why the incense burner knows that the Shen family has such an ancient house, and it is obvious that he knows more than that.But sometimes this guy just makes you get stuck in the middle, and it's worse than being hanged.It is more difficult to get words out of his mouth, so I secretly decided to follow him and slowly find clues by myself.

The next day, Shen Er actively began to prepare for the departure. Looking at the various tools he listed on the list, I found that going to that place would at least require a trek through mountains and rivers, and it might be a bit twists and turns as he said.

Because I had an appointment before, I called Zhang Rui before departure.

Zhang Rui's voice was still a little hoarse on the phone, we only spoke a few words, and he finally said: "There should be no problem with Young Master Long here, just be more careful."

There was still some unbearable embarrassment between us, so he unconsciously became polite: "Thank you, I will. Don't worry, I will tell you immediately if there is any news. Uh... Is your cold better?"

Zhang Rui smiled warmly: "It's almost fine, don't worry about me. I hope you can bring me good news."

He took the initiative to hang up the phone.

"Good news" should refer to something related to his sister. Since I promised him that I would help him find out the truth, I will definitely take this matter to heart.

Shen Er rented an off-road jeep, and I waited for him to drive over at the back door of the villa.At this time, the incense burner came out from the building behind me. I saw that he had changed his face. His long hair was all tucked into a black knitted hat, and his exposed neck was clean and clean. He was dressed from head to toe in a short jacket, jeans and hiking boots. A tool bag was tied around the waist, the sleeves were rolled up, and two pairs of leather holsters were tied around the arms.

She is completely ready to go, vigorous and vigorous, and tall and straight, which makes me unable to take my eyes off her.

This is probably the standard outfit for him. I smiled at him unconsciously. He looked at me expressionlessly and said, "What are you laughing at?"

I was embarrassed for a moment, and hurriedly lowered my head to look at the Ghost Slaying Knife, and concealed it: "Oh, this knife is too heavy, it's really inconvenient to keep it around..."

Without saying a word, the incense burner took the Ghost Slaying Knife and threw it on his back.I was a little embarrassed, and my heart was beating wildly.

"The car is here."

A few seconds after he said this, I saw an off-road vehicle galloping towards us at the end of the road. Shen Er poked his head out of the window and waved to us.

When the car arrived, the incense burner got into the back seat without saying a word on the way, staring blankly at the scenery outside the window, wondering what was on his mind.

And I also inadvertently paid more and more attention to his every move.

There is Shenjiawan in Wuhan. At first I thought it might be our destination, but the car went north from the Daihuang Expressway to the Hanshi Expressway, and then turned to the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway, making a big circle. .

I asked Shen Er why he took such a detour, he looked at me and smirked: "Master, I... lost my way."

Getting lost is not counted, the car actually stopped halfway, and it turned out that it was because it was out of gas!

I stroked my forehead and patted Shen Er weakly: "Can't you check it out before you leave!"

Shen Er looked innocent: "Usually someone helps me refuel my car, and it must be full of fuel when I drive out. I... didn't expect it!"

This is the shortcoming of Yilai stretching out his hand and Fanlai opening his mouth!

We pushed the car to the side of the road, here is the highway, cars speeding past one by one, no one would pay attention to us.Moreover, Shen Er said that it is inconvenient for others to carry us. The old house of the Shen family is already a secret. It is best not to let outsiders find out, otherwise the government may come to take over the land.

There is no store in the front and the village in the back. Just when we were looking forward to seeing through, the incense burner pointed to the distant field: "Can I borrow that?"

We looked over, and there was a tractor standing on a small road in the middle of the wheat field, but its owner was working hard in the wheat field.

I said: "People may not be willing to borrow it. For a farmer, a tractor may be his wealth and life!"

Shen Erdao: "We borrowed it secretly."

"No, how can I steal it!"

Shen Erli stared at me bluntly: "You are also stealing a tomb, compared to that, what is stealing a tractor?"

I suddenly couldn't find a word to refute Shen Er, but he and the incense burner took advantage of my unpreparedness and tiptoed towards the tractor.

Even the incense burner agrees with us stealing it, damn it, he really is a professional thief!

So, the luxury off-road vehicle turned into a modern automatic tractor, and we moved towards our destination with the sound of the windy engine.

After going to Wangmu Lake, Shen Er said that the master who served his grandfather in the early years retired and returned to his hometown, and lived by the Wangmu Lake in his later years. Only by finding him can he know how to get to the Shen family's ancient house.

When we got to Wangmu Lake and inquired, the master passed away a few years ago, but later we found the grandson of the master.

This young man is called Xiao Zhao, and he can remind people of the demeanor of that master back then.

Xiao Zhao looked over the three of us cautiously, carried a small burden on his back, shook the straw in his hand, and said, "If you must go, come along. But I will put the ugly words first, and I want to go to that building. It’s not that easy to live in an ancient house, if you’re afraid of death, it’s too late to regret it now.”

Shen Er didn't buy it and said, "If you can go, why can't we?"

Xiao Zhao sneered: "I've walked that road for eight years if not ten years, let me explain to you first, it's a burial road, women and children can't get through it, and people with too much yang energy can't get through it either."

Shen Er said impatiently: "We don't have any women or children among us, Yang Qi...we're all pretty much the same!"

"Hehe," Xiao Zhao said, "Also, after you go in, if you can come out, no matter what you bring out, you will share with me fifty-five."

"what?"

Xiao Zhao stopped explaining, and waited for us to reply while waving the dog's tail grass.Shen Er looked at me, I couldn't make up my mind, and then looked at the incense burner.

The incense burner said lightly: "Yes."

"Okay, let's go then."

Xiao Zhao waved his hand, and the incense burner followed without making a sound, without paying any attention to Shen Er's and me's opinions.

I have always felt that when the incense burner came to Wuhan, people would become weird, but I understand that maybe I will never know how many secrets he hides in his heart, maybe I am not even qualified to make him open his heart to me , let alone breaking into his world...
