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

Nan Xing squatted down on the back of the stone carving, and together with Zhang Qiling searched carefully with his hair mound fingers.

The stone carvings were severely worn, and there were still a few deep cracks left by weathering on them. A piece of the beast's head was missing, and the original text pattern on it had already been worn away, and it felt rough and gritty to the touch.

Slowly moving clockwise around the stone sculpture, Nan Xing was concentrating on exploring inch by inch, when suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder, turned around, and saw Zhang Qiling behind her, gestured to her, and then walked to the other side Go back and motion for her to come along.

Nan Xing immediately stopped exploring, and followed Zhang Qiling to the location where he was just now.

I saw a small area on the stone carving was painted black.

Zhang Qiling continued to smear on the stone carving with the burnt branch in his hand, and as the smeared black area continued to expand, Nan Xing could see that there was a line of small but clear scratches on it.

Although Nan Xing had lost her memory, the tomb-robbing skills she had trained in the Zhang family since she was a child and the keen intuition honed in life and death for many years were still clearly engraved in her body. The newly added ones will not exceed five years.

Look carefully, engraved on it are two repeated words:

Didi, Didi, Didit, Didit, Didit, Didit, Didit, Didit, Didit, Didit, Didit

"Morse code." Zhang Qiling whispered in Nan Xing's ear.

Nan Xing looked back at Zhang Qiling with wide eyes.

Zhang Qiling also looked at Nan Xing strangely, as if he didn't understand what Nan Xing was surprised about.

"No, the brain circuit of the person who engraved this word is also very strange. Since it is Morse code, the long and short lines that save time and effort are not used. You have to use onomatopoeia to express it. What's even more outrageous is that you have reached a soul resonance with him." Nan Xing couldn't help laughing, and after seeing the serious expression on Zhang Qiling's face, he put away the smile on his face, and switched back to the expression dedicated to business, "So, it can be basically judged that this tomb has been searched all over, and there are still It has been reformed, and it is worse than us, stealing other people's things and occupying their lair."

Zhang Qiling glanced at the wicked Nan Xing, and didn't answer her words, but just concluded, "This should be the way to open the entrance."

"This code translates to Borntodie, born to die." Nan Xing nodded, "It's quite philosophical. Does this Black Feizi think that he is like Jesus, resurrected after death and then became a god?"

"You two, come and have a look." Zhang Qishan's voice came from behind a big tree.

Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing looked at each other, then got up and walked behind the tree trunk where Zhang Qishan was.

When they got there, they saw Zhang Qishan's soldiers dug a shallow hole there.

The shallow pit was covered with thick green moss and vines, only the top of the shallow pit was cut off by them with bayonets, but because these parasitic plants were too dense and thick, and they were layered on top of each other, some of them were already very rotten. Like green slime, scattered on the stone slab exposed in the shallow pit.

"It's not close to noon. I originally planned to dig a stove here to cook some lunch, but I didn't expect to dig out such a thing as soon as I got off the shovel." The person who spoke was the soldier in charge of the food brought out this time. , called Xiaonian.

Xiao Nian cleaned up all the green moss while talking, only to see that what was exposed on the stone slab was a relief sculpture, and a horse was carved on it.

After Xiaonian cleaned up the green moss, he asked Zhang Qiling suspiciously, "Is this horse also a tomb-slayer beast? Shouldn't tomb-slayers be rare and exotic beasts in mythology?"

Zhang Qiling didn't answer, just squatted down, glanced over the relief, and then said: "Dug all around here, there are still things under here."

Xiao Nian was taken aback, looked up at Zhang Qishan who was beside him, Zhang Qishan nodded, and then Xiao Nian started to dig up the surrounding weeds and soil carefully.

With the cleaning of the soil, more and more stone slabs were exposed, and sheep, dogs, chickens and other animals appeared one after another.

When everything was cleaned up and the entire stone slab was exposed, everyone could see that the carvings on it were the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac.

"One is missing." Zhang Qishan looked at the slate and said, "There is no snake."

"Si snake is Xun, and Xun is Dumen." Nan Xing murmured while looking at the relief, and then raised his eyes to Zhang Qiling beside him.

Zhang Qiling also glanced at her, nodded slightly, "Go to Shengmen to have a look."

"Okay." Nan Xing said and went to the place where the tiger was carved with Zhang Qiling, and checked whether there was a mechanism with his hair mound fingers.

"Buddha, this stone slab is very weird, they acted rashly, will it be okay?" Xiaonian looked at Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing, and asked Zhang Qishan hesitantly.

Zhang Qishan looked at the silhouette of Nan Xing, "They saw it very accurately. There is no snake in the twelve zodiac signs. The snake is Xun, and the Xun is Dumen. When the sheep meets the snake, it is Kunxun. When the rooster meets the snake, it is Duixun. The tiger meets the snake. For Gen Xun, the upper Gen and the lower Xun see the Shengmen. Therefore, the tiger is indeed the location of the Shengmen."

"Since it is the gate of life, can we start digging from where the tiger is?"

After Xiaonian finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at the reactions of Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing. Almost everyone along the way had subconsciously realized that they must listen to what these two people said.

But this time, Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing didn't respond to Xiaonian's speculation, and just continued their exploration.

Xiaonian thought they were acquiescing, so he swung his arms up to shovel, but Zhang Qiling grabbed him just before landing, "Wait a minute."

There are only two words in such a flat tone, but there is a strong sense of authority. Xiaonian immediately stopped and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Can't you dig?"

Zhang Qiling let go of Xiaonian, stood up and took a few steps to where the sheep were.

Nan Xing raised his head and looked towards them. Xiaonian was at a loss with a shovel in his hand, so he pointed to the stone sculpture of the tomb-guarding beast beside him and explained: "The mechanism of this entrance should have been remodeled later. The words engraved on the stone carving are the real way to open the entrance—to live toward death, the door of life is the door of death, and the door of death is the door of life.”

"So, you mean to enter through the gate of death?" Xiaonian looked at Nan Xing in disbelief.

Nan Xing nodded, got up and walked towards Zhang Qiling, "Gen is for life, Kun is for death, when Weiyang meets snake, it is Kunxun, when going up to Kun and down to Xun is the gate of death, we have to enter without sheep."

As soon as Nan Xing squatted down beside Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qiling drew a circle around the sheep's head with two unusually long fingers, and said softly, "There is a sound transmission mechanism here."

"Can you feel what kind of sound trigger mechanism it is?" Nan Xing asked.

Zhang Qiling raised his eyes to look at Nan Xing, thought for a while, then stretched out his hand to hold Nan Xing's wrist, and led her to press the sheep's head, "There is a faint knocking sensation inside."

Faqiu fingers are different from ordinary people. All subtle fluctuations can be felt through the nerve endings of the fingertips. If you practice well, you can even feel the route of ants crawling on the back through the stone slab.

Nan Xing focused, concentrating all his attention on his fingertips, and everything around him became quiet.

At this time, she clearly felt that there were quick and slow knocks coming from under the stone slab.

The movement was small and weird, completely irregular, like water droplets, or like a finger tap, fast and slow.

Nan Xing looked up in surprise, and Zhang Qiling whispered in her ear, "Explore carefully."

Nan Xing lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly.

At this time, she was able to capture a signal that repeated from time to time from the messy knocking——

Tick ​​tick, tick, tick, tick tick

The translation is exactly - DEAD.
