The Most Thrilling Tomb Tour: Tomb Raider

Chapter 32
Lao Zhongtou will immediately pick up "Half an acre of land to gather grass", which means "Don't underestimate your grandfather and me, I can plant the land with a hoe, and mow the grass with a sickle! I can do whatever I want, and there are many friends on the road. , seniority is older than you!" Big has the meaning of a well-off family.

Old Zhongtou told us that in this upside-down business, there is no such thing as seniority or seniority anymore, it’s all gangsters, relying on advanced equipment, well-informed, and courage, but the old "craftsmanship" in the past "People" pay special attention to seniority.

In the "inverted fighting" business, there were three people in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and these three people can be regarded as the top masters among the top masters.

The first one is the "Boss Ren" in Zhejiang. The real name of "Boss Ren" is "Ren Zhixian".As the name suggests, this person's profound knowledge and superb methods have reached the point where nothing can be added.

Legend has it that he can figure out where there is a big fight without leaving home, where the old fight has been pried, and where the fight can't go, and there are harmful things in it.For this reason, many people came here to be his apprentices, so he accepted such a large group of apprentices, and then he washed his hands, but he often figured out some positions for the apprentices to steal, but he never went there himself.Why?Because he didn't need to go, he felt that there was nothing more worthy of his heart.

But he still went to Yidou afterwards, that was the first and last time he went there after washing his hands.It is said that before he went there, he took a divination and told his apprentices that what he was looking for was the tomb of Genghis Khan, and he couldn’t figure out the location no matter what he did at home. But this hexagram is more ominous than good.Sure enough, he never came back after this trip.Since then, this mythical figure has disappeared like a folk myth, and no one knows his whereabouts.

The second one is "Ding Qiankun" in Shandong, which is also the nickname given to him by people in the Jianghu. His real name is "Ding Zhenqian".

He has accepted hundreds of apprentices. It stands to reason that regardless of whether there are apprentices or not, Daodou has to find a partner or helper, because after all, it is too difficult for one person to dig a bigger hole.But no matter what the fight is, this person has always been alone.He seems to know some sorcery, and never let his apprentice follow him.The hole dug by him, he started to do it when the sun just set, and he could come out with a bright weapon on his back in the third watch, no later than the fifth watch, and he would fill the hole completely as before, making it difficult for experts to see. Will suspect that the pit is empty.Its speed is fast and its methods are superb, which can be seen from this.

This old boy had a long life span, he lived to be more than 80 years old, and he died of old age, which is what people often call a natural death without disease or disaster, which can also be said to be a good death.

The real name of "Running on Snow" is "Xue Shangbao", and he is the third person.This man's fighting skills are no less than those of the previous two. He is well-known in the area of ​​Bashu. It is said that he has more apprentices than a company. He and his disciples have gone into many of the famous mausoleums in Bashu since ancient times. suffer.

It is said that these three people have never met each other, they just admire each other. As for the fact that there were too many disciples later, it was the disciples' business to see each other when they looked up and down in the rivers and lakes.

But in the industry, these three people were ranked in such a way according to their means, and it was passed around that the three of them became the masters of the modern tomb robbery industry, and the apprentices and apprentices were together to fight for the name of their master. A "seniority post" was set up.The "Tian" generation is the largest above, so there can only be the three of them, and among the three people of the "Tian" generation, "Boss Ren" is the first. Below "Heaven" is the generation of "Di" and "Wan", and they are all their apprentices, disciples, disciples and grandchildren, and so on.

But "Boss Ren" died early. After his death, someone persuaded the disciples of "Ding Qiankun" to change the generation post, to cross out the name of "Boss Ren", and put the name of "Ding Qiankun" in the "Tianzi Generation" one.

And "Ding Qiankun" said with a slight smile after hearing this, death is the most important thing, even if we are in the business of digging pits and digging pits, we don't respect the tombs of so many ancient people, we still have to respect the title of "Boss Ren", after all I still admire him very much.The eldest was dead, and the second child did not dare to be the oldest, so the unwritten rule that the "second child" was actually the oldest was established.

So Zhao Dadou asked Lao Zhongtou "what's on the mountain" meaning "whose descendant are you?" Disciple, is it possible that you are the master of 'Boss Ren'? Even I am not afraid. How many of the older generation in Shandong are not apprentices of 'Ding Qiankun'? You boy, don't come here with your grandfather. Set, I am angry, you can't bear it and walk around!"

Since Zhao Dadou can speak in secret, it means that he also has some background, but it seems that the background is too small and the seniority is too low, so he was immediately frightened by the old clock, and gave us a solid background.

Hearing this, I completely fell in love with the old Zhongtou, Fatty and Xiang Ru, the four of us chatted more and more vigorously, and quickly found a restaurant to have a meal, in order to listen to the old Zhongtou. knowledge.

We have prepared some things in the past few days. With the little money we just earned, we bought things and took them to the Ministry of Railways. These years, the money is really not spent.

The short shotgun that Lao Zhong got last time has been returned to someone else. As for the two "May [-]th" guns, I really don't want to use them anymore, but Fatty and Xiang Rufei want to take them with them, saying that they are ready for any danger.I asked Lao Zhongtou to get dozens of rounds of ammunition, but Lao Zhongtou even got a few homemade explosives, saying that the Kunlun Mountains are rocky, and this thing might come in handy, so I took it with me.

Finally, the day agreed with Zhao Dadou arrived. After all, Lao Zhongtou was a bit old when he went to Danzhucuo last time, and his physical strength was exhausted, so Xiangru and I didn't let him go with us this time.

Lao Zhong still sent us to the car, and before leaving, he specially told us that we should not be careless when going to Kunlun, because it is the ancestor of Wanshan, and it is by no means an easy place.Hearing that we said yes repeatedly, he chatted with Zhao Dadou for a few words. It seemed that he was trying to frighten him and let him take us honestly.

In fact, I don't think it's necessary for Lao Zhongtou to do this. Zhao Dadou is not a bad person, at most he is an old Jianghu, and we are not just for nothing. What can he do to us?
Kunlun is also called Kunlun Xu or Yushan in ancient Chinese myths and legends. It starts from the east of the Pamirs in the west, traverses between Xinjiang and Tibet, and extends to the territory of Qinghai Province.The mountains are undulating, the land is vast, and the scenery is magnificent. Generally, the snow line is above 5000 meters above sea level. Above the snow line is a glacier that does not melt all the year round. It is no wonder that the main source of the great river is called "the ancestor of Wanshan" by many migrant poets.

Since there is no train here, we stopped and walked all the way, bypassed the Muztag Peak from the Tuotuo River to the west, and stopped at a place called Mount Everest.

Seeing that the journey was long and difficult, Zhao Dadou found a local Kazakh herdsman named Jianger to be our guide.

Jiang Geer didn't talk much. When we bargained with him, we just asked if it could be cheaper. He frowned immediately, and stared at us with hawk-like eyes: "It can't be cheap, people don't go to that place, you guys Don't look for me if you want it cheap!"

There are not many people in this area, so we chose Jianger, a seemingly capable herdsman along the way. Fortunately, his family had already collected the sheepskins, otherwise he really wouldn't be our tour guide.We have no choice but to make it more expensive, so we have no choice but to give up.

Mount Everest is located at the middle foot of the Kunlun Mountains. At the foot of the mountain is a piece of alpine wasteland. Small patches of snowy spruce grow on the mountain, which together with the sparse grassland below constitute a mountain forest grassland.

Herdsmen here generally use mules instead of horses for climbing mountains, because mules have greater endurance and strength than horses, and are suitable for the glacier climate.We bought a few mules from Jianger, but Jianger himself rode a horse.Strange to say, this horse has the stamina no less than a mule, and can carry heavy loads.We asked Jianger, and he said that this horse has the pedigree of BMW, no wonder it is so good.

Kazakh herdsmen like Jianger usually carry dogs and guns when grazing, and it is no exception to accompany us into the mountains this time.His dogs were two shepherd dogs, strong and long-haired. When they saw us grinning, they probably would have given them three points for any beast, but they were reprimanded by Jianger and obediently lay down on the ground.The gun was an air rifle, even though it was an air gun, it would never be a problem to kill a wolf within 50 meters with one shot.Fatty liked this gun very much, saying that it was very dignified to hold, but there was no other way, so Jianger took another one from his brother's house and rented it to Fatty.

Zhao Dadou stopped and walked, recalling the terrain to Jianger. According to him, he remembered that the tomb was on the dark side of the mountain when he came last time.I couldn't help but wonder, Kunlun Xu has been revered by Taoists as the "Cave Heaven and Blessed Land" since ancient times, and some hermits and hermits even regard it as the dragon vein of Fengshui a hundred years later, so it is not surprising that there are many tombs here.

According to the annotations and records in "Ancient Gods and Monsters": "Kunlun is the ancestor mountain of ancient times, and thousands of weathers come out of it. There is a bright light in the morning, and a dark light in the evening. It is bright and bright, so the wise and wise choose the place. , to be buried in the sun."

This clearly means that since ancient times, Kunlun Mountain has a broad and sacred brilliance in the daytime, and dark and changeable will-o'-the-wisps at night, so those wise sages choose their cemeteries here, mostly on the sunny side. of.

But doubts are doubts, who knows what the ancients thought, maybe radishes and vegetables have their own preferences.Jianger had no choice but to take us around from the east side of Mount Everest to the south side, and walked for a while before stopping to rest.

What surprised me was that the remains of cows and horses exposed on the ground can be seen everywhere in this valley under the shade of the mountain. The whole valley is lifeless, the skulls of those beasts are off the ground, and the two black holes are staring at us on the mule. It also gave me chills down my spine.

I heard from Jianger that this place is called Yerengou, and some herdsmen's cattle and horses can't get out after getting here. No one knows why.

From the very beginning, I felt that the appearance of Mount Everest standing in front of me was a bit weird, but I couldn't say how weird it was.

"Xiang Ru, come and take a look!" I pointed to Mount Everest toward Ru: "Is there something wrong with this mountain?"

"It seems a little strange, especially the top of the mountain..." Xiang Ru looked at it for a long time and felt a little strange, and wanted to say something but couldn't say it.
