Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes
Chapter 77
The old pedant knows a lot. When he was young, he worked in the National Museum, and he was still in the library. With his knowledge and vision, it is more than enough to be a professor of archeology in the history department of Tsinghua University and Peking University.
Like telling a story, he told me the past life background of three Xixia national treasures, after the old scholar and Xiao Kai left.In the middle of the night, the head called out the three of us secretly, and the place where we talked was some distance away from the camp.
I already know why he came to Heishui City.
If the three things the old pedant said were buried in Heishui City, how could they not come, it is impossible not to come!
The attraction is too great. Tomb robbers are so good at it. Some things are not a matter of how much they are worth, but some things that I really hope to get a hold of before I die, and take a look at them.
I have a vague guess about why Douyazai and I left without saying goodbye in Yinchuan, but I dare not say.
After arriving here, Bean Sprouts took the lead and said loudly: "What's the matter, let me tell you before, we don't want to go back, we've all come here, let's make a fortune together."
I said keep your voice down, it's so loud, don't you know that walls have ears?
Bean Sprouts covered his mouth and said in a low voice, "It's past two o'clock, everyone should be asleep now, who can hear us running so far."
I asked Xiaoxuan to go out to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, and then we had a secret meeting.
Seeing that Bean Sprouts couldn't be chased away, he sighed and lowered his voice deliberately.
"Yunfeng, Yazai, do you know why the earthworker named Ma Deming ran away a few days ago?"
I said you didn't tell me the reason for this, Ma Deming said that he came here with Jiuqingshui, I heard him mean that he was scared when he encountered the sand-accumulated tomb, and he didn't dare to do it before he ran away.
Hearing what I said, he shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think, anyway, he is also a geotechnical worker who followed Jiu Qingshui, and he is not so timid."
"Four days ago, we found a small underground palace in the desert about [-] miles north of here, and found four valuable things in total."
"A small underground palace?"
I don't understand, I asked if the head is not a quicksand tomb, the small underground palace with only four items is a quicksand tomb?
He shook his head and said: "The quicksand tomb that Ma Deming said is true, and we did kill people there. The quicksand tomb is very large, far larger than Guo Zhuangchu's tomb, because Alxa is blessed with a unique wind and sand environment. The thickness of the earthen mound of the tomb has expanded by more than dozens of times, and it is buried very deep in the ground."
"So... do you mean that this quicksand tomb has not been obtained yet? Because you encountered difficulties, you guys started looking for other targets, so you discovered another small underground palace four days ago, and Got it. Is that what I said?"
I saw him nodding, and immediately asked in puzzlement, "Why did Ma Deming run away if he didn't touch it? What is he afraid of?"
"Could it be that... black people eat black people?"
He nodded with a gloomy face.
I gasped, so to speak, the five or six people who died before...
"Three of them were murdered by others." After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Xiaoxuan.
"That's why I let you go. It's not a joke this time. One of the three people who died was from Jiu Qingshui. I don't know who killed them."
"Four things were found from the underground palace. I, Wang Xiansheng, didn't dare to fight. Yunfeng, you should know that returning to the customs is just a superficial cooperation. Once those things are found, there will definitely be chaos in the end."
After speaking, let me touch his back with my head.
When I touched it, I felt a hard lump with a handle.
gun.....
Bean Sprout's face became serious, and he frowned and said, "If this is the case, then we have to stay. I'll protect you. I'll kill anyone who wants to harm you first! Who cares about the Jiuqingshui flying squirrel!"
"Hehe..." There was a smile on his face.
He put one hand on my shoulder and the other on Bean Sprout Boy's shoulder.
"I won't change my mind on this matter, Yunfeng, Yazai, the two of you combined are less than 40 years old, and I, Wang Xiansheng, are over 70 years old. It's okay to fight. Besides, I have no chance of winning. The two have secretly formed an alliance with me."
"Who? Are you allied with the old scholar and Xiao Kai?" I asked with a frown.
He shook his head and smiled, saying that he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't say it until the last moment.
"I'm good at fighting!" Bean Sprout was patting his chest and promised: "I can fight head to head! What about Xiao Password and Dongbei Xiaokai, I'm not afraid of them at all! If you don't accept it, come and try!"
"You..." Looking at Bean Sprout, he asked earnestly, Have you ever killed anyone?
"Kill...kill...that's not yet." Bean Sprouts said hesitantly.
"Listen to me, go back to Yinchuan tomorrow and wait for my news."
With his head full of longing, he said: "If I, Wang Xiansheng, can get one of the three things, whether it is the Buddha of Tears or the Miaoyin Bird, then I will go back to find you, and then I will ask for a price of [-] million. Think about you How much can you share?"
"If you don't get it in the end, with the secret alliance between me and the other two, you should be able to save your life. On the contrary, if the three of you stay to help me, not only will you be in danger and you will not be able to help me, but you will also restrain me everywhere. The plan, in the end, may have people all buried in Alxa."
I sigh.
I know I'm right, we two little fur kids plus Xiaoxuan, a little girl, can't help if we stay.
I can't beat any of these nine people, as Xiaoxuan is powerless, it would be a burden to force them to stay.
I'm an idiot.
"Someone is coming!" At this moment, Xiaoxuan, who was in charge of releasing the wind, suddenly turned around and shouted at us.
With a gloomy face on his head, he said to leave quickly.
"Oh, it's Wang Xiansheng, what kind of meeting are you having with these three kids in this dark place?
Before we could disperse, a person blocked the way.
The man had two loops of iron chains on his waist as a belt, and it was made by that man named Zhu Bao.
He turned his head back to calm.
"Master Zhu, you still don't sleep so late, do you want to come out for a walk in leisure time?"
"Hey, what's the walk?" Zhu Baoguo said in the dark: "I can't sleep, I'm hungry, I want to walk around to find some firewood to cook something to eat, and I happen to see the four of you having a meeting here."
"How about you come to have some supper too? I've got it all done."
"Okay, my stomach is empty too, so I'd rather be obedient than respectful." Talking to Zhu Baotou was like old friends for many years.
Zhu Baochi nodded, turned around and said, come on.
"Follow up," put your head up and say don't show your timidity. So far, you are still in a state of cooperation when you return to the customs, and the surname Zhu will be fine.
Then we followed Zhu Bao to the place where he lit the fire.
A homemade grill was set up on the fire, and two large skewers were hung from the rack.
"This one should be ready." Zhu Baoguo greeted us to sit down and eat supper.
The kebab meat was a bit dry. Seeing that the bean sprouts and the head were all eaten as if nothing had happened, I brought the meat to my mouth and put it down again.
"A little bit of cumin noodles would be fine. Young man, you can try it. It's not poisonous to be afraid of. You ate it without seeing Wang Xiansheng?" Zhu Baochi looked at me and said with a smile on his face.
I frowned and asked, "Master Zhu, right? You came to rob the tomb and you prepared so much food?"
"Where did your kebab meat... come from?"
Hearing my sudden question, Zhu Baogui wiped the oil stains around his mouth.
See my eyes turn cold.
