Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 3 Two Two Five, Four Two Three

I couldn't wait to take a shower before the boy revealed the answer, and changed into the boy's clothes. He was a full size smaller than me! The T-shirt was on me, strangling my flesh, and it was extremely uncomfortable. I could still wear the beach shorts. Seeing my embarrassment, he said cautiously, "I'll go out and buy it tomorrow."

"Is clothes important now?" I glanced at him angrily: "What kind of medicine is sold in Grandpa's gourd? Also, what's the matter with this broken jade? A mother with twins?"

The young man did not speak, and went to fetch a roll of bamboo slips. I saw at a glance that it was an antique. The bamboo slips were broken, and many pieces had cracks. Each piece had a line of writing on it. It was the small seal script of Qin Dynasty, which was used after Qin unified the six kingdoms. After reading Xiaozhuan, I picked it up and looked at it for a few times, but I couldn't read it anymore because I was upset: "What is it, please translate it."

The young man was a little helpless, and still said: "Jade is seven pieces. After taking out the two pieces in our hands, there are still five pieces. If you collect all seven pieces, you can find the legendary secret treasure of Western Chu." The young man was afraid that he could not explain clearly: " That is Xiang Yu's treasure."

I'm not surprised, the treasure is not as far away as ordinary people think, have you heard of the treasure under the sea?The sinking of ancient pirate ships and treasure ships, or the sinking of diplomatic and trade ships, have become underwater treasures that make explorers eager to move, and there are such existences in the history of China, among which the most sensational is the discovery of the ancient city of Loulan. A large number of treasures from the ancient kingdom of Loulan have reappeared in the world. As an antique merchant, he is much more sensitive and enthusiastic about treasures than ordinary people.

"Continue talking, it's interesting." I chuckled: "It's really interesting to be a grandpa. He gave me candy when I was young, and gave me treasures when I grew up. By the way, boy, what's your name?"

"Munro."

"My name is Lin Tianyi." I said carelessly, "What else is said here?"

"On the eve of Xiang Yu's rise of troops in Jiangdong, the counselor made a fortune telling for him, and it was a great disaster."

I noticed that Munro was very skillful in speaking, as if he was a witness. I didn't interrupt him and continued to listen to him: "Xiang Yu knew that he was in trouble, but he still didn't give up. He hoped that one day he could make a comeback. So he transferred all the treasures of Xichu to his six cronies. In order to facilitate his search in the future, and to avoid being stolen, he took a piece of jade, engraved mysterious characters on it, and then divided the jade into seven parts. , he and his six cronies hold one piece each, and only wait for them to reunite in the future, obtain the treasure, and make a comeback!"

"It's a pity that things didn't go as planned. Xiang Yu was defeated in Jiangdong, and he committed suicide." I suddenly understood: "Among the six cronies, one took Xiang Yu's piece of broken jade, so this person only has two pieces."

Meng Luo nodded: "It is the counselor who divination for King Xichu, and also the ancestor of our family."

"Damn it, your family's ancestors are black-bellied enough." I blurted out: "I made two yuan at once."

"The ancestor had a will to leave behind. The situation was urgent back then, and the purpose of preserving the treasure was to rejuvenate Western Chu in the future. Unfortunately, the ancestor took two pieces of broken jade to look for the other five people, but they could not find their whereabouts." Meng Luo Said: "Until today, the characters on it can only be seen when seven pieces of broken jade are gathered together. This is an important clue to find the secret treasure of Western Chu."

"Knowing Erlong, MD, why me?" I scratched my head and said, "Anyone you pick up on the street is still a human being. There are so many people with arms and legs these days."

"The horoscope of the two of us, one is light and the other is heavy." Meng Luo said: "Tiangang said that according to the weight of the date of birth and the time of birth, the weight of the horoscope can be calculated. The weight of the horoscope is the weight of the horoscope. .”

"The first time Grandpa Gan saw me in the small town, he said that I was born with light characters."

"As soon as I was born, my grandfather told me that I was born with a heavy horoscope."

I shuddered: "Grandpa Gan said that I am two to five."

"Two to five, six relatives have no support, self-reliant life, this life pushes the ancestors to lose their fortune, the family's family life seems to be rare, the six relatives are like coals of ice, and they will work hard for the rest of their lives."

These words hit my heart hard like a stone. The flesh and blood of my six relatives were like coals of ice. Grandma poked my finger and shook it in front of my eyes again. I shook my head vigorously. After losing my parents, I was alone and invincible , I only live for myself, live happily and easily!

I have a hard shell, it must be indestructible!
"Boy, where's your horoscope, how much does it weigh?"

"Actually, it's not heavy. The heaviest character is the emperor's order." Meng Luo said, "Four, two, three."

"You guy, are you showing off?" I said bitterly: "I am two two five, you are four two three, you are much heavier than me, Nima, I am suffering."

"Being the most intelligent person, doing things like noble people, the number of days in your life is fixed, you don't have to work hard all your life." Mengluo said: "You are my nobleman, knowing the two dragons, that's what it means, you and I join hands, To be invincible."

Invincible is my mantra, I am not used to saying it from his mouth, I waved my hand: "Hey, wait a minute, don't keep saying, we, ours, I am me, you are you, grandpa's legacy Life is very important, but this matter is too precarious, I can live by guarding my antique shop, why am I going to find that unreliable treasure of Western Chu? I have time to spend?"

I stood up, the top was too tight, because of my violent range of motion, it stretched out, I was in a mess, and sat down again: "Well, let me tell you, I will give you the rent, my antique shop is blocked Burned, but I have insurance, I will make a comeback, and the treasure has no temptation for me, OK?"

I didn't care how he reacted, and took the lead to occupy the only bed. I was really tired. As soon as I touched the bed, I fell asleep immediately. There was no dream. I thought I could see my godfather in my dream , he would try his best to persuade me to have a big fight with his grandson, nothing. I slept until dawn, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the boy nestled on the small sofa, and he was only so thin To be able to nest in, I am grateful for my decision to occupy the bed.

Before he woke up, I had a sudden idea, took my wallet and left quickly. The moment I closed the door, I saw the portrait of my godfather slowly disappearing through the crack of the door.

I bought a suit of clothes first, then ran to the insurance company, I thought my bad luck was over, until the salesman told me very regretfully that I bought the wrong insurance, I wanted to take out all the bad words and spray on it. On this damn man in a suit, Nima, didn't you tell me how reliable the property insurance is?

I cry, I make noise, even if I lie on the ground, I can’t change the reality. It’s not my fault that the horoscope is two to two five, but it is like a curse attached to me, and I can’t break free. The goods that went out, the money has been collected, the goods are gone, and the payment for the goods that has not been settled, I bumped my head on the table, and the man in the suit on the opposite side immediately bounced away, looking very happy...

I was only a short distance away from bankruptcy. After clearing all the accounts, I was left with only two thousand and six, and the charred real estate. Standing in front of the dark shop, I really wanted to greet the fate of its eight generations of ancestors, I What evil did you do in your previous life to endure such a fucking life!
I don't want to surrender to fate, but now I have to get down on my knees and express my horror.

I turned around and saw Monro standing there, I scratched my head: "Is there room and board?"

Meng Luo breathed a sigh of relief: "You finally agreed."

"There must be a treasure, otherwise, I will tear you apart, anyway, I only have one life left." I said viciously: "There is nothing that cannot be lost."

Meng Luo nodded again and again: "You have to trust Grandpa."

I bought some daily necessities with 600 yuan, and then lived with Mengluo. Until now, I didn’t know that the name of my grandfather was Meng Sanqi. He was really a strange old man. He had relatives, but he wanted to be alone Living alone, Munro explained, Grandpa likes a quiet place and doesn't like to stay in the city, so he chose to stay in a small town.

Every year, Meng Luo and his father would visit the grandpa three times, why three times, Meng Luo said it was stipulated by the grandfather, and he would not even open the door if he went too many times.Back then when the iron horse traveled in the desert, and when you return from thousands of miles, you will meet the second dragon. Meng Luo saw his grandfather three times a year, and he would hear it three times. Broken jade? You two will become the best brothers when you grow up, and only when you two are together can you accomplish great things."

It turned out that the godfather had already reminded Mengluo, "Why didn't the godfather let us get to know each other earlier, instead of waiting until now?" I don't understand, the grandpa and grandson are both a little mysterious.

"The time hasn't come yet." Meng Luo was chopping vegetables. This kid's chopping skills are not very good. Cucumber slices rolled to the ground. Less than one-third of a cucumber that didn't grow in the first place can be eaten now. I frowned, and forcibly suppressed my thought of taking over: "Cut it better."

Meng Luo's forehead actually started to sweat. As for it, it's just a matter of cutting vegetables. I tore off my clothes and pushed him away: "Let me do it."

If I'm not an antique dealer, I should be a cook, a pure foodie, in addition to eating, I must also be able to cook and taste. Watching me conjuring two dishes and one soup in the kitchen, Munro's expression froze. Li: "You did all this?"

"Could it be made by a ghost?" I picked up the food with chopsticks bluntly: "Grandpa's fortune-telling is quite accurate, there is no doubt about it, and I also believe that there is some treasure, but where do we start?"

"Start from the lines on the jade." Meng Luo said: "Before I found you, I started looking for similar jade."

"Looking for it?" I put down my chopsticks: "These two pieces of broken jade are from the Qin Dynasty. The jade decorations of the Qin Dynasty are generally dragons and clouds, but if there are characters on the jade, it is equivalent to a custom-made product. It's only seven dollars."

"There are no clues for the other pieces of broken jade, but look..." Meng Luo put the two pieces of broken jade together: "I already have clues for patterns similar to this one."

Munro put down his chopsticks and brought a folder. It was a surprise that there was such a shiny folder in this dilapidated house. I swallowed the food in my mouth: "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts , well prepared."

"Before I found you, I started collecting information for two full years." Munro said, "Maybe it was my grandfather's blessing. When I found the clues, I also found you."

He took out a photo, which showed the scene of wind and sand suddenly rising, thousands of miles of yellow sand, the sand rolled up, forming a strange scene in the air, I was about to complain about him showing me the scenery photo, but I found out, I Keep the photo away from me, and I finally found out that the appearance of the wind and sand rolled up is very similar to the lines on the back of our two pieces of broken jade, except that one is on the back of the jade, and the other is in the air!
"Is it a coincidence?"

"Look at this one again, and this one." Munro said, "I took these at different times. Every time at four o'clock in the afternoon, the wind and sand here rolled up, it was the same scene. If I Without telling you, do you think they are the same scene, happening at the same time?"

"Nimma, what kind of place is this?" My heart began to itch: "I don't know what's under the ground in this place, but such a coincidence, it's not a coincidence."

"Blackwater City." Munro's words almost made me jump up.

Heishui City, the famous ancient city of Heishui. It is said that there are more than [-] carts of platinum and other treasures hidden in the ancient city. Unfortunately, these treasures are nowhere to be found!Just like Xiang Yu's treasure, the same coincidence appeared in the two treasures, I fell into deep thought, something in my body was about to move, I patted the table: "Go here, but... I have no money."

"I have." Monroe took out a passbook: "This is what grandpa left for both of us."

The old man is really a fortune teller, he even solved his worries for the future, my nose was sore, I pretended to be full, and pushed the bowl and chopsticks forward: "I will put incense on the godfather."

I paid my respects to the portrait of my god-father three times with the burning incense in my hand. What I couldn’t get rid of in my mind was his appearance before he died. If this is your old man’s last wish, then I will go all the way to the dark!

I don't have any other skills, except for a solid skill (no way, a person must have a skill to live alone), the most useful thing left is this brain, to survive in the highly competitive antique industry, you You must not doubt my IQ. Although I occasionally twitch, I am definitely a smart person.

Since there is such a connection between Heishui City and Suiyu, it is necessary to make a trip, but before going, it is necessary to have a detailed understanding of this place.

Legend has it that Heishui City was the capital of Xixia in the past, and the last monarch was known as the Black General.He is valiant and invincible. When he competed with the Han people for hegemony in the Central Plains, he got a bad start and retreated to the isolated city.The army of the Central Plains was unable to attack for a long time. Seeing the Ejina River flowing outside the city, they blocked the upper stream with sandbags to cut off the water source in the city.

The city defenders dug wells in the city, so deep that no water was seen.General Hei was forced to fight with all his strength. Before the battle, he dumped more than [-] chariots of platinum and other treasures into the well, and killed his wife and children with his own hands to prevent them from falling into the enemy's hands.
