The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 12
"We don't dare to say we understand all the 36 countries in the Western Regions, but we know at least 35 of them. The remaining ones have no time to understand. There are still two-thirds of the people in the world waiting for us to liberate!" The fat man just couldn't control it. Then he started rambling again, paused and said, "Marshal Chen Yi has a poem? The first encounter outside Zhenjiang City, he beheaded little Loulan. Speaking of which, you have the same hobby as him, and you were still in the same family 500 years ago!"

"Ah? Oh, hehe, good good. I didn't expect you young people to know this poem too? Good!" It seems that everyone likes to be top hated. No matter how strange Professor Wu's temper is, it's hard to get away from it. Immediately cheered up, and then said: "But poetry alone is not enough! Engaging in learning is not poetic, you guys..."

I hurriedly told him all my understanding of Loulan, including the stories that geologists and archaeologists told me when I was a child, and added at the end: "We always hear Boss Zhong and people in the industry talking about you. I am so lucky to see you today! We want to be your students, and follow you to find the lost civilization, which can be regarded as contributing to the country. What do you think?" I know, just rely on us The money earned from selling water-proof beads is not enough for the travel expenses to Xinjiang.

"Oh, good good! The young man knows a lot!" Professor Wu suddenly smiled. It seems that he is not eccentric, but probably because he is old and studying at home alone, and no one talks to him.Old children, old children, old people are like children, they have to be coaxed.

"Then where do you think the Loulan civilization went?" Professor Wu was not confused by my boast, but asked cautiously.

"Then where else can I go? Underground!" I didn't care, I just said it casually, thinking that I could fool him.

"How do you know?!" It doesn't matter this time, Professor Wu grabbed my arm and asked excitedly.

"I," I thought to myself, this is over, and when I said it casually, he became more serious, so I hurriedly recalled the chapter "Earth" in "The Record of Ancient Gods and Monsters", and randomly picked a word about this issue Tell him: "The earth should be in harmony with the air of the sky. All things are born on the earth, and the heaven and the earth are also the mother... In ancient times, those who avoided disasters were unfavorable on the earth, so they must migrate underground."

Unexpectedly, Professor Wu grasped my arm even tighter, and asked excitedly, "Who taught you?"

"When I was a child, I blindly read what was said in the book, ha ha! Don't get excited!"

"what book?!"

"Oh, I forgot the name too." I thought to myself, can any book tell you?I've let you know, so we're still messing around!
"Oh, hehe, it's nothing, I'm just asking. Okay! I'll take you students, and I'll pay for the travel expenses this time. You go back and pack up, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow!" Professor Wu saw what I meant, so he couldn't get to the bottom of it. up.Unexpectedly, he rushed to this, and he readily accepted us.

In the next two days, I took the money to pay off some debts. After spending all of them, I still owed some, so I simply went to Fatty and Xiangru to get some equipment.

I asked Fatty to bring the German devil's bayonet last time. This time I am not going to play near home, and I may not face any danger. I try to bring everything I can think of, so as to be prepared.

Tomb robbery and archaeology are two different things. First of all, the starting point is different, but they are inextricably linked.The jargon of tomb robbery is called Daodou, and in some places in the north it is more interestingly called "digging pit". Although it is earthy, it is very vivid.Most of the tomb robbers don't care about 21 and [-], they just blow up the tomb with explosives, and they blow it out as soon as they can, and they don't care whether they can blow up the stuff inside.

Archeology is completely different, it is quite a technical job, such as archaeological shovel, general exploration shovel, mud exploration shovel, brick breaking shovel, sand digging shovel, flat shovel, prying shovel, ash pile shovel, blast hole shovel, brush Shovels, soil sample shovels, archaeological hand shovels, bobbin shovels...archaeological probes, pointed needles, round needles, slotted flat needles, non-slotted flat needles, probe counterweights, etc. There are a lot of messes. I saw my father when I was a child. Archaeologist friends feel tired and flustered when they carry these things around.

But if you have to rank these two professions first, then tomb robbery must be the originator of archaeology.The ancients robbed the tombs first, the current dynasty robbed the tombs of the previous dynasty, and the later dynasty robbed the tombs of the current dynasty, and it was not until later that archaeology emerged to protect and study human civilization.But both archeology and tomb robbery have become two very profound knowledge, one is always used in the folk, while the other is born for research.

Some tomb robbers don't believe in anything but money, but real connoisseurs are very particular.For example, "Three Lights", "Double Heavy", "One Ring", "Run after opening the coffin", "Yang before Yin and back" and so on.

The "three lightness" means to walk lightly when entering the tomb; when you see something in the tomb, it is called a "magnificent weapon" in the industry, and your hands should be light; when you want to discuss, speak lightly.These are some particularities summed up in order not to wake up certain things in the tomb, but I think it is out of the last bit of respect for the dead. You have taken all their things, and you still have respect!
"Double" means that when encountering abnormal things such as fraudulent corpses, the attack must be severe; among companions who are murderous because of the uneven distribution of spoils, the attack must be severe, and the other party must not be allowed to go out alive.

"One sound" means that the fart must be loud. This is probably summed up by later generations. It is said that some people, just because they farted so loudly when cheating on the corpse, actually put the corpse down.When you look deeper, it should be exactly the same as the ancient Chinese saying "take the blood of chickens and dogs and splash the body with filth to shake it".With this in mind, I asked Fatty to kill two chickens and a dog, mix their blood with some water, and put it in a bottle just in case.There is a word called "dog blood drenched head", which probably originated from Taoism and other religions. They believe that the blood of chickens and dogs has the energy of heaven and earth, that is, the energy of Zhengyang, and they pour their blood on the demon's body. On the head, it can make them catch them without a fight, and later it was extended to scold someone so that they have lost their temper at all and have nothing to do.But some things are uncertain, and evil ways can kill you.

When I was young, my grandfather told me a story. It said that there was a boy named "Zhang Bold" in their village long ago. If he dares to go, he dares, and he points to his courage to make a bet with someone for two dollars.One night some idlers made a bet with him again, let him go, and give him twenty Wen when he comes back at dawn, and he left without saying a word.But everyone wanted to scare him, to see if he would dare to do so in the future, so they secretly followed behind him.I saw him walk to Zhuangdongtou and sit on the head of an unnamed grave that was overgrown with weeds. According to his grandfather, this grave is still there now, I don’t know how many years ago.

The boy fell asleep after sitting for a while and started snoring.But after a while, I heard a gloomy woman's voice in the grave asking: "You are pressing me, turn over!" Seeing that he did not respond, the voice continued: "You are pressing me, turn over! "

Zhang Boldly woke up immediately, and hurriedly said: "I'm leaving now!" But he only heard the gloomy voice laugh twice and said: "Since you're here, don't leave, you come in to sleep, I'll go out and sit!"

"Don't, don't!" Zhang Bold tried to run, but he couldn't stand up as if he was being held back by something, and suddenly he fell into the grave and disappeared!

Immediately afterwards, a woman with long hair covering her face climbed out from inside, sat on the grave mound, and asked in a terrifying voice to a few idle men who were frightened and bold in the nearby grass: "Are you still watching?" ?” Then he lifted the long hair covering his face with his hands, revealing a blue face, staring at two bloody eyes, and smiling at a few idlers.They were so frightened that their souls flew away, and they ran back to the village yelling, telling everyone that no one would believe them, but they all became lunatics in the future, and when they saw someone, they smiled and said, "Do you still want to watch it? Do you still want to watch it?"

Afterwards, some people who were driving at night passed by there, and when they came back, they seemed to be different people, and they dared not speak.

The story belongs to the story, but we have to be careful, otherwise how come there are so many weird things in the world that cannot be explained by science?

As for the "open the coffin and run", it doesn't mean to open the coffin and run out. What would you do in that case?This means that in the coffins that have been stored for a long time, the corpse gas inside is generally extremely harmful, even poisonous, and it can be fatal if inhaled. You can proceed to the next step only after you have exhausted the corpse gas.

"Yang before Yin and back" has ancient Chinese philosophy and religion. In ancient Chinese theories, such as "Book of Changes", it is believed that the odd numbers "one, three, five, seven, nine" are yang numbers, and "nine is yang". "Old", which means the number "nine", is the largest number in the world, and it is the most yang.

"Two four six eight" is an even number, which is a negative number, and "eight" is the most negative number.Therefore, those who are more particular in the tomb robbery business generally have to choose a birthday whose horoscope is "Yang" to walk at the front of the line, and those who belong to "Yin" to walk behind.It probably means to take the Yin Qi in the deep tomb with the air pressure of Zhengyang.

Everything was prepared in the past two days, and Fatty, Xiangru, I and I went to Lao Zhong's shop, where Lao Zhong had already been waiting.

The store is not too big, it looks very old, but it is filled with a variety of antiques and miscellaneous items.The fat man looked around curiously, touched this, touched that, and couldn't put it down for everything.

"Xiao Sun! Look, I can't go with you this time. In fact, I really want to go, but I still want to look at the shop here. I have prepared some money for you here. Although it is not much, it is also me. You and Fatty will take it first." Lao Zhong took out a kraft paper envelope and said to me.

"How can we ask for your money? It's harder for you to support your family than ours, so take it back!" Fatty and Xiangru and I hurriedly pushed the money back to him.

"Okay, I want to be friends with you, and I'll give you something!" Lao Zhong's eyes were a little moist, and he went to the back room and took out a delicate small box. bead.

"Master Zhong, what is this? It's so funny, how does it taste?" The fat man thought about eating it, but he thought it was a jelly bean, and he picked one up and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.

"Hey! I said Fatty, don't put it in your mouth, it's not for food, it's a high-quality treasure for "digging pits" (tomb robbery)." Old Zhong hurriedly stopped the fat man, picked up the bead and handed it to us Next to the nose: "Everyone, keep your eyes open! Do you smell this thing?"

"Well, yes, it smells a bit like musk." When I was a child, I saw the musk that my grandfather used as medicine, and I will never forget that scent for the rest of my life.

"What else does it smell like?"

"It also has a slight mint smell. Anyway, it's very refreshing and refreshing." Xiang Ru squeezed one, sniffed it carefully and said.

"Hey! My eldest lady, that's right. This thing is called 'Nuoxiang Pearl'. It is made of high-quality glutinous rice jelly, with musk and mint and other precious traditional Chinese medicines. It took 81 days to make it. In the past Those who often walk in the tomb are afraid that the corpse and decay will hurt themselves. The so-called "injury" does not refer to trauma, but to make themselves unconscious and hallucinating. A clear mind is the most important thing in the tomb robbery business. They made such a thing, entered the tomb, stuffed it into the nostril, there are a few small holes on it, which will not affect your breathing at all, it is such a treasure to ward off evil spirits and refresh oneself!"

"But isn't it bad for women to smell musk?" Xiang Ru asked.

"That's a rumor. The "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" says it's bad for pregnant women, not for girls." I was amazed by the breadth of Lao Zhong's knowledge.
