[Grave Raiders Notes bg] Lost Notes 2: Heavy Fate

After breakfast, after a short rest, the two packed up their things and went to Zhang Qishan's mansion.

Nan Xing briefly explained to Zhang Qishan what he had discovered the night before, and decided to go to the scene of the incident to investigate.

Zhang Qishan acted quickly and decisively, Nan Xing and Zhang Qiling came out of the main hall, and saw that Adjutant Zhang had already counted the accompanying soldiers in the yard, all of them were dressed in bunts, the box cannon was hidden behind the water bag, and the bayonet was horizontally placed on the back and waist.

When the sun was around eight o'clock, a group of people gathered in the suburbs. There were not many people led by Zhang Qishan. There were ten people in the whole team, including Nan Xing and Zhang Qiling, there were only twelve people.Gou Wu insisted on going together, but was rejected by Zhang Qishan, telling him to stay at home and wait for news, and to consult with Jie Jiu anytime if there was any situation.

Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing took Tang Seng to lead the way first, Zhang Qishan's soldiers were divided into two groups, each group followed the car, disguised as tea merchants to investigate around, Zhang Qishan, behind the adjutant hall, also disguised as a betel nut vendor, gathered all the way Intelligence, investigation direction.

Going all the way to Xiangxi, I entered the mountainous area in the afternoon. The mountain road was so rugged that cars could no longer pass, so I had to go down and drive No. 11. There was a mudslide on the way, and the clothes of several soldiers were already dirty.

There are mostly Miao people here, and various Dong and villages are distributed in the deep mountains. They are basically in a state of autonomy. It is a completely wild border of Miao and Xinjiang. There are also Han people living in it, and the ethnic situation is very complicated.

There are many mountains here, the terrain is high and low, and the drop is huge. There are countless deep valleys between the two peaks. Looking at the straight-line distance between the two peaks, it is very close, but it takes a long time to go from here to there.

When the evening was approaching, Tang Seng stopped and got into Nan Xing's arms, only showing a fluffy dog's buttocks.

"It's here." Nan Xing stroked the dog's hair and said.

The place to stop was halfway up the mountain, a mountain road on the edge of a cliff.Because of several spring rains, all the traces of the fighting have been washed away. It is spring, and the thatch has quickly covered the place again.

Zhang Qiling walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the vast valley around him, as if he was observing the ups and downs of the mountains and rivers here.

Zhang Qishan also looked around silently, the adjutant had already understood, he made a few gestures, and the people behind him quickly dispersed and searched around.

"Nan Xing." Zhang Qiling stood on a rock by the cliff and turned his head to look for Nan Xing.

Nan Xing heard the voice, looked up at him, and then walked over to the rock.

As soon as he arrived at Zhang Qiling's side, he looked around at the shapes of the mountains in front of him, and said softly: "Look."

The tone of voice was so soft that he himself hadn't noticed it.

Nan Xing's heart seemed to be hit by an electric current, and the ghost answered, "Look at the mountains and rivers you have built for me?"

Zhang Qiling looked at Nan Xing, not knowing why, "Look at the mountain here, surrounded by people, lying far away, it's a crouching dragon." The tone of his voice has returned to his usual calmness.

Ah, let's talk about business, right?

It can be romantic, retreat can be astronomy and geography, this is the unique skill she has evolved since getting along with him these days.

Nan Xing also placed one hand on the raised rocks beside him, and carefully distinguished the vertical and horizontal land veins in front of him.

Looking at it this way, there is really a deeply hidden dragon "potential" in this area, but it is not the kind of "potential" that can bury the emperor, but the situation that can make the imperial family prosperous and stable, and the palace peaceful and peaceful. More than enough for queen mothers, princesses and the like.

But after experiencing vicissitudes, this "potential" has been broken by the natural environment, cut by wind and rain, earthquakes and mountains collapsed.

Even so, people like the Zhang family who have been trained in Feng Shui can still tell that there should be an ancient tomb under here, and the scale is not small.

Nan Xing's face was slightly condensed, and he looked up at Zhang Qiling.

At this moment, news came from Adjutant Zhang, "Everyone, come and have a look, we found a stone sculpture over there."

Looking around, there is a stone sculpture covered with moss standing in the dense grass. It is very weathered, and the pattern on it has been worn away so that it can't be seen clearly. It can only be recognized from the overall size that the sculpture is an animal. .

"Buddha, there are also here." The news also came from the other side.

After searching around the mountain, a total of 12 yuan of such stone carvings were found, and the positions of each piece were separated by about two miles.

"There is a tomb under here, and the mausoleum is 24 miles away from us." Zhang Qiling looked at the stone carving and said.

"How do you know?" A young soldier beside him couldn't help asking.

"These stone carvings are tomb-suppressing beasts." Zhang Qiling simply replied without further words.

Zhang Qishan also knelt down to look at it, and nodded, "Tomb-suppressing beasts originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and finally disappeared gradually in the Five Dynasties. It is said that it originated in the Spring and Autumn Period, but in fact it came from the tomb of Chu. At that time, the Central Plains countries did not Using the tradition of tomb-suppressing beasts, as time went by, the tomb-suppressing beasts gradually came out of Chu. Then the tomb-suppressing beasts have various images, such as the blue dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, and Xuanwu. , 狻猊, etc. These tomb-suppressing beasts are usually placed on the surface as a symbol of guarding the mausoleum."

"Buddha, today, we..." The adjutant came up, and in the middle of speaking, he glanced at Nan Xing and Zhang Qiling next to him.

Zhang Qishan stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said without hesitation, "Do it tomorrow."

Since Zhang Qishan entered Hunan, following the Zhang family tradition, he has put a lot of eyeliner on the whole Hunan people. Most of these Zhang families have mixed with local people of various professions. When the Zhang family goes out to work, there will always be people who are very familiar with the local conditions and customs. .

As night fell, the responders took them to the nearest post station in Dongli.

The post station was built along the mountain road beside the cliff, and a long grass eaves stretched for half a mile along the mountain road.From the gap between the wooden boards under your feet, you can directly see the cliff below.

As night fell, vendors from all walks of life in the post station set up their stoves, roasted naan on the stone steps of the cliff, boiled spicy soup with spicy soup; there were Orion barbecued game, using various spicy powder, and the fragrance spread all over the place. the whole valley.On the top of this long dragon-like corridor, there are all kinds of fire lamps and wind lamps. From a distance, it looks like the ghost market of fox fairies in Liaozhai novels.

A group of people rested on their own, and went into the mountain at dawn tomorrow morning.

There are not many rooms in the inn, and everyone is used to traveling around all year round, so it doesn't matter if a few people squeeze into a bunk together.

Nan Xing and Zhang Qiling were alone in the same room. Both of them had no appetite, didn't eat anything, and went back to the room after a simple wash. One sat by the window and looked out at the dark valley outside, and the other was absent-mindedly counting the needs for tomorrow in front of the shelf. equipment.

The cold wind came up from the cliff under the wooden frame, and the whistling wind became the only source of sound in the quiet room.

Nan Xing deliberately slowed down the speed at which she packed things, her mind was running at high speed, thinking hard about what else to do next, and let her divert her attention from him.

Before she knew it, she had already put the last piece of equipment into her bag.

Zhang Qiling turned to look at her, he had never seen such an expression on her face, as if the dry food in her bag was not enough to support her tonight.

"Ready?" he asked her.

She nodded.

"Then go to sleep." He stood up and left from the window.

"Ah?" Nan Xing was still out of the situation.

"Rest early." Zhang Qiling began to untie his coat with a calm expression.

Nan Xing tried his best to suppress the turbulent waves in his eyes, opened his eyes wide, and watched Zhang Qiling walk towards the wooden single bed in the corner with his long, muscular legs, and put the coat in the middle of the bed to divide the bed into two halves, " I sleep outside."

Just like the night at Feikun Palu Temple.

Wait, it's not the same as that night.

The quality of the beds in Feikun Temple is according to the standards of gods, but today this wooden bed is simply a children's bed!Even if lying alone, it will definitely creak and shake!

What's more, two adults from the Zhang family whose muscle density is much higher than ordinary people, are they sure they won't collapse in the middle of the night?

When the time comes, the whole station will know about the commotion, and others will think that they are doing some kind of intense exercise in the middle of the night!

Thank you for the nutrient solution irrigated in the clatter and clatter, hug it and take a big gulp! !
