Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 135

It was one day in 1964. In Wangshan outside Kaifeng, someone reported the discovery of an ancient tomb.At that time, my grandfather was one of the leaders of the team. When the staff of the archaeological team rushed to the scene, the local area was covered with mud due to heavy rain and mountain torrents. They braved the rain and were led to the ground by the villagers.

It turned out to be an ancient tomb, because the mountain torrent landslide was shaken apart, and the rain washed out a lot of things like chickens, tiles and dogs. But Kaifeng was a big city at that time, and the people there were more aware of cultural relics. The archaeological team When they arrived, the things that rushed out had already been picked up by others, and the group of people did not catch anything.

At that time, the archaeological team did not have many people, and it was not as large as it is now. The team was mainly composed of students, and the rest were a group of veteran cadres headed by my grandfather Chen Siyuan.At that time my grandfather was not old, he was only in his thirties and he was in his prime.Professor Lin recalled that he was a university graduate. At that time, college students were more expensive than gold. His grandfather brought a total of four college students with him at that time. Now two of them have died of illness and accidents. He and the other The students are all working in the Institute of Archaeology, and that student is now resident in XZ.

At that time, Professor Lin looked down on his grandfather from the bottom of his heart. He was an uneducated tomb robber just because he was recruited. Now he even has the title of professor to bring college students like himself, which is really unreasonable.Although the few students at that time called grandpa a teacher on the surface, they looked down on him in their hearts.

Until that day, in the pouring rain, when all the archaeologists were discouraged, Grandpa Chen Siyuan, wearing a white vest, braved the rain to climb up the peak of Mount Lu, stood on the ridge overlooking the ravines of Mount Lu, and said to everyone He said: "There is also a Ming Dynasty tomb below, at least at the princely level. We will come back in three days." That confident look and a figure that is not afraid of wind and rain have always been deeply in Professor Lin's mind.

He was shocked at the time, but he still didn't believe his grandfather's words.A person, standing on a high place and looking around, can see where there is a tomb, and can tell which dynasty it is?Isn't this too ridiculous?Even if their students were not convinced, they were only students after all, and the team was led by grandpa, so of course everything was obeyed by grandpa.

Several people stayed overnight in Kaifeng, and of course they talked badly about grandpa behind their backs, and they all waited for three days to see grandpa's jokes.

On the first day that followed, the rain stopped and the sun shone.The next two days were also scorching sun.

Three days later, when we arrived at Wangshan, the sun had already evaporated the water, and the previous ferocious mudslides had also turned into hard clods.

Grandfather Chen Siyuan is not a talkative person. He does things quietly and practically, step by step, and is not strict with students. He teaches those who love to learn, and pulls down those who do not learn.Everyone followed Grandpa all the way. Grandpa only used three tools, one is eyes, the other is iron brazing, and the third is nose, and he cut off the structure and age of the entire ancient tomb. The point was not bad, and everyone was in an uproar at that time.

The older generation, who had cooperated with grandpa for a long time, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, old Chen, you have made great contributions again." They seemed to have known grandpa's skills for a long time.As for the rest of the students, after looking at each other in blank dismay, they were sincerely convinced.When Professor Lin said this, he said with emotion: "If it is published by the people, it will be passed on to the people. The real masters are among the people."

The reason why Grandpa was able to see the tomb at a glance at that time was because of Yang Fang's ability to observe the wind and water. Different geomantic omens have different burial people, and if he speculates according to the different dynasties, he can naturally see through the situation.This knowledge is all about the combination of all kinds, and nothing less will do.

During that time of archaeology, a small accident occurred. It was a prince's tomb. When the coffin was raised, a dark thing suddenly sprang out from under the coffin floor, something like a bobcat.

At that time, Professor Lin was relatively close, unable to dodge in time, and was about to be thrown in the face by that thing, but when the thing jumped halfway, it fell from the air. Knife.

Grandpa is the apprentice of Fei Dao Bai Lao Si, and it is normal to be able to play with flying daggers.

After this hand was revealed, everyone present was convinced.

And not only that, Professor Lin also saw the statement, that is, my father who had never met and died very early.

At that time, my grandfather was working in BJ, and the whole family was also in BJ. Professor Lin had just turned 15 at that time, and Chen Ci was still a [-]-year-old boy at that time. Chen Ci ran with the archaeological team.

Chen Ci has a very arrogant personality, can be said to be supercilious, precocious, and indifferent. Over time, the students don't like him, but because he is grandpa's son, they are still polite to him.

But arrogance is arrogance. Chen Ci is bold, careful, and athletic. The most important thing is that he has the true biography of his grandfather.Professor Lin was still young at the time, and he was jealous. He thought that he was only 15 years old, and he was so powerful. This person's future achievements would definitely be higher than his own, but at the same time, he couldn't help admiring him.

Until the grandfather suddenly resigned, the family disappeared completely.

The world is impermanent, the student with mediocre qualifications back then is now a highly respected old professor, but my father, who was called a genius by everyone, died young.After I heard about the past, I felt quite uncomfortable. Fame, honor and disgrace are not worth the impermanence of the world.Then I thought, if I had known that I would enter the mushroom digging industry today, my grandfather should have taught me some skills back then, which is better than holding a notebook and just having theory.

But at that time, who would have expected it now?
After listening to Tofu, his expression was very serious, he sighed for a while, and said: "Mr. Chen and Uncle Chen are both great people. Old Chen, I finally understand why you were successful in everything in the past. This is due to your good genes. Ah." Tofu is telling the truth. I have had the tenacity to not admit defeat since I was a child. Before doing something, I will plan backwards and forwards, so I seldom miss it.

But that was in the past, now my genes are no longer useful, and now I am unlucky, what to do, what is unlucky.

When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. Tofu and I sighed for a while, and then adjusted our mentality. On the other hand, Professor Lin was still stuck in memories, saying in his mouth: "It's a pity, it's a pity that Chen Ci what……"

If I don't wake him up again, I'm afraid I don't know how long it will take to remember. I winked at Gu Wenmin, and she would feel sorry, so I changed the subject and said, "This is why Professor Lin is looking for you. First, we have to do it this time." I’m afraid it’s not safe to rely on modern excavation methods alone. Secondly, Professor Lin has a relationship with your family, and he also offered to help after hearing about it. With Professor Lin as the backstage for you two, the above matters will naturally be solved. .And this operation is an official robbery. After the incident is completed, not only is there no fault, but it will be meritorious."

I know this is an excellent opportunity. Professor Lin must have good intentions. Gu Wenmin turned to Professor Lin for this matter. It must have taken a lot of effort. I haven't seen him for a few days. The bright oval face seems to have lost a lot of weight. If we don't accept it, it will appear that we are too ungrateful.

It's just that what makes me hesitate is the matter of Ghost She's face, I don't know how long it will take to go, what should I do if something happens halfway?

Tofu and I have been friends for more than ten years, and we have a tacit understanding. He probably saw what I was thinking, and said: "We have already left this matter to Zhuanrui. Besides, there are official robbers this time, and there are enough manpower. The weapons and equipment must be good, there shouldn’t be any troubles, and there will be no such shop after passing this village.”

When Tofu said this, I made up my mind, and said that the matter had to be resolved one by one. I don’t know when there will be news from Zhuanrui, so it’s better to follow the arrangement first, and I will live up to Gu Wenmin’s intentions.Immediately, I said: "In this case, I will trouble Professor Lin, you old man, to give me more advice. When are we going to leave?"

Professor Lin made a serious face and said, "I told you before, my name is Uncle Lin, don't tell me you don't like me."

I immediately felt ashamed, and quickly changed my name to Uncle Lin. He was satisfied and smiled, and then let me and Tofu go to his house for dinner. The enthusiasm was unstoppable, and we couldn't refuse. They drove there after leaving the high school entrance examination institute. At Professor Lin's house, his wife cooks the kitchen, and there is a whole table for eating, but I don't have much in mind to eat or drink.

I have been alone in these years, and I have come and gone in the wind and rain. Apart from my friend Tofu, I have no special close people around me. Even if I have, they are all people who follow the trend.Who wants to come to BJ, suddenly an old friend of my grandfather appeared, who took good care of me, and the long-suppressed lovesickness became stronger for a while, and there was a vague idea in my heart.

Live to see people, die to see corpses, where did grandpa die in the last fight?

To be honest, if grandpa is still alive, he should be in his 70s. However, he disappeared more than ten years ago, and there is almost no possibility of him being alive.

I just thought of his bones, which might be in a bucket, being used as a toy for grinding teeth by mice, and I felt a little stuck in my heart, and suddenly came up with an idea: If this matter can be resolved, I must find a way to track down Grandpa His whereabouts at that time, no matter what, he had to collect his bones.

The people of the country pay attention to burrowing into the earth for safety. My father died outside the tomb of King Juer. Hearing what old man Zhao said, he was thrown in the cave and buried.

I don't have any impression of the statement. Whether it is in the mouth of Zhao Erye or Professor Lin, my father is an amazing person. Such a cold and arrogant person does not know what he thinks of his son.

In the past, the village said that Chen Ci molested my mother before giving birth to me.Now I always feel that something is wrong.Before Chen Ci's death, according to Mr. Zhao's description, he had nothing to do with a gangster at all. Besides, I've seen his photos. I'm thankful that the little girl didn't tease him.

That being the case, how did I get here?Who is my mother?
After much deliberation, I got a little dizzy, and finally scolded my mother severely, thinking: What do you want to do now, I don’t have a father or a mother, so I can’t live just the same.Whether he is a gangster or a hero, dead man, let him go to hell.
