Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 5 Warring States Silk Book
005 Chapter 5 Warring States Silk Book

After Wu Xie helped his third uncle handle the matter, he made half a cup of Wuliangye. While drinking it with him, he told him about the old man Jinya coming to spy on him.Wu Xie originally told it as a joke, thinking that the silk book might have come from the tomb in Shanxi, so he printed out the contents of the digital camera for him to look at.The third uncle's face was flushed and he was already in the mood. When he looked at the silk book, his expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?" Wu Xie asked, "What's wrong with this thing?"

The third uncle frowned and said, "I told you to learn more from me, but you just don't listen. A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is a map."

Wu Xie looked at the words on it and looked at his third uncle's expression. He didn't understand what he was talking about. Could it be that his uncle was so detached that he could see the "painting" in the "words"?

While scolding Wu Xie, the third uncle took out his presbyopic eyes to look at this thing. He said that this is called Ba Zhen calligraphy and painting. This calligraphy and painting is also called Tibetan painting and calligraphy. It is to write the detailed geographical location of a place using special grammar.It looks like a bunch of meaningless words, but in fact it contains very rich information. It is a kind of code used by soldiers in ancient times.

The third uncle stared at a few words, and said to himself: "Those who became monks on the way are lucky. I have never come across such things. This time I really picked up a bargain for you."

Wu Xie asked him where the map was.The third uncle frowned and looked at it for a long time before saying, "It seems... it's a tomb!"

Wu Xie hurriedly asked: "Can you see a map in such small characters? Can you tell whose tomb it is?"

The third uncle shook his head and said: "I can't fully understand it now, but this tomb should belong to a nobleman from the Lu State during the Warring States Period. You see, the location of his tomb was recorded on a silk book with calligraphy and painting, indicating this person's status. It should be quite high, and this cemetery must be very secretive. It is a good cave and worth visiting."

When Wu Xie heard that it was the Tomb of the Warring States Period, his heart started to turn, but there was no use in getting excited. He had been tutored since he was a child, and his father was determined to get rid of their generation completely.

The third uncle looked at Wu Xie and shook his head, "You are a very honest kid. Your father doesn't allow you to go down, so you really don't dare to go down. You are already in your twenties, so what are you afraid of?" , Are you afraid that he will beat you? Just beat him, and it won’t kill you. When I was your age, I could go wherever I wanted and do whatever I wanted, and your grandpa couldn’t control it."

Wu Xie hurriedly said: "That's it, who are you? Who in Sanliting, Hangzhou doesn't know that your farts, Mr. Wu's, are delicious."

Seeing how Uncle San looked like he was speaking from his heart, I couldn't help but find it funny.

The third uncle rolled his eyes at him, lit a cigarette, and said that if he had a chance, he would take him to see him. He would secretly go there to prevent his father from knowing that the Wu family had been making a living underground for hundreds of years. How could such a complex be tolerated? Just cut it off.

Wu Xie didn't know whether his third uncle was serious, and he didn't take it seriously. The two chatted for half a night, and unknowingly drank half a catty of liquor. When he saw that he couldn't go back after drinking more, he got up and left, even in the car. I didn't open it and took a taxi home.

It was getting late now, the sky was dark, and my brother and I were walking on the road.The neighborhood where this third uncle lives is too quiet at night. Anyway, I feel it's spooky.He is a good fighter, this is nothing to him, he is calm and collected.If it weren't for him by my side, I wouldn't be able to walk for long, and I would have to squat there and wait for dawn...

As we walked, we came to the street, which was finally a little crowded. There was a 24-hour small supermarket in front of us. The boy suddenly stopped. I didn’t dare to look both ways because I was afraid of the dark, so I kept walking with my head down. He There was a sudden stop and I bumped directly into him.He didn't look back, and said two words in a low voice: "Wait for me."

Then I walked straight to the supermarket. After a while, I saw him walking towards me with some food and drink.He found a place to sit on the street and sat down. I quickly followed him and sat next to him like a follower. He calmly brought me a piece of bread and a bottle of water. I whispered to him He said: "Thank you." So we started to have a quiet "open-air picnic", and then we sat on the roadside and stared at the sky in a daze...

Looking at the starry sky, I thought to myself, it’s so embarrassing for us two boring bottles to get together. He doesn’t like to talk to begin with. I’m better than him but limited. Should we communicate properly, or... I’ll keep quiet I glanced at him, thought for a while, and decided to forget it. I always felt that the time was not right, so I might as well look at the sky.

My brother is very good at observing. Occasionally I feel that he will stare at me, but I know that he is staring at a stranger. I am already very embarrassed and dare not speak or look at him. To him now, I am just a tow bottle picked up on the roadside... Maybe he is thinking about when he can get rid of me so that he can do his own things. It is better for me to be good and be safe.

My phone rang suddenly. I picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number.I got through, and I knew who it was as soon as I heard the voice.

Glasses said to me with excitement, "Girl, let's get together with the mute. How's the fun going?"

I suppressed my anger, kept calm and smiled: "What do you think?"

"That's right! Your wallet has nothing to do with me. I'm just watching the fun. That was all done by Dead Phoenix. If you want to settle the score, go to him directly. I'm just calling you to tell you that in the past few days, you have been following the dumb Zhang Zhang. It’s fun, don’t worry about us anymore.”

I just said "huh?" and before I could say anything, the person on the other end hung up the phone with a "bah...bah...bah...".When I saw the phone being hung up, I was so angry that I really suppressed my anger.At this time, the little brother patted me twice, picked up his mobile phone with an expressionless face and showed me directly the text message the blind man sent to the little brother.

The text message read
"Mute, my apprentice is a bit stupid, just keep an eye on him for me and don't die."

Forget the phone call. After reading the text message, I had the urge to scratch him to death, but I couldn't catch him: "I..."

Looking at my brother who is still expressionless and thinking about my performance today, I feel like I am a little stupid.Those two guys cheated me to death!

The little brother looked at me: "Have you rested?"

I nodded.

"Let's go." The little brother said and turned around to leave. I followed him like a little tail.

By the end of the day, my body had begun to ache, and my legs no longer felt like my own.Anyway, I will go wherever he goes this time and just follow him.Why……
