Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 346 Silk Book
First of all, I have already searched in my hometown. Although I found a map, that map was obtained from the relics of Queen Baoxiang. Therefore, that map is not in the hands of Grandpa, so just Statements remain.

Just imagine, before Chen Ci died, he met Mr. Zhao and asked Mr. Zhao to give something to my grandfather, but this item was stolen.

When I met Zhao Erye for the last time, when I asked Zhao Erye for something, he said that what I gave him was an ancient silk book with pictures and words, and he didn't understand the content and patterns inside. Now that I think about it, could it be that the map that grandpa mentioned was the silk book?
I always thought that Chen Ci’s silk book was brought out from the tomb of King Ju’er, but now that I think about it, it’s impossible in terms of time, because if it was a silk book brought out from the tomb of King Ju’er, it’s impossible for Grandpa to know about the silk book. of existence.

I thought of Si Taiping. According to Si Taiping's description, he followed Chen Ci to many places during the time he followed Chen Ci. Chen Ci seemed to be looking for something, but he found nothing.Later, Chen Ci suddenly introduced Si Taiping to a Feng Shui master.On the surface, Chen Ci may have been moved by Si Taiping's persistence, but now that he thought about it, it seemed that Chen Ci had discovered something and wanted to avoid people's eyes and ears, so he dismissed Si Taiping.

Could it be that the silk book map was obtained by Chen Ci some time after he dismissed Si Taiping?

After getting the silk book map, he entered the tomb of King Juer, but died of injuries in the end. From this point of view, the content of the map should not be the map of King Juer's tomb.

All these seem to be inextricably linked, but there is an astonishing coincidence: Mr. Zhao told me that the silk book was lost, and not long after we returned from Haidou, the old man Zhao hid it The map that I had for more than 20 years was just lost.

All of this is simply too coincidental.

Why is the map lost when we need that map?How did the mute know that Chen Ci had a map in his hand?What is the meaning of that map to the mute?What is hidden in the map?
Where did Chen Ci go in those years?

According to Lu Su's current statement, he participated in the operation of the Yashan Palace back then mainly for the corpse lamp, but who knew that his grandfather got it, which led to the failure of the matter, and Lu Su could only make another plan.In the process, he investigated the identity of his grandfather, and thus discovered the root of the Chen family's curse, so he began to study the shaman culture, and even stole the Eight Carp Doujiao Zhenhai Stone.Now, because of the appearance of the dumb, I found me and Tofu.

If there is no mute, Lu Su probably doesn't plan to have any communication with me anymore.

The mute wants to find Chen Ci's body, and Chen Ci's death is an extremely secret matter. It is estimated that only me and Zhao Erye know the real burial place of Chen Ci. Now, if they want to find the map, they will naturally find it. fuck me.

But now, I'm almost sure that the extremely important things to our Chen family that Chen Ci entrusted to Zhao Erye to hand over have disappeared.

I couldn't help but sighed, and said, "It's too late." Immediately afterwards, I combined the theft of Zhao Erye's silk book with my own speculation to explain to Lu Su, in fact, I also had a calculation in my heart.No matter what happened before, with Lu Su's big net, the things in Zhao Erye's hands, no matter whether they were really lost or faked, could be found out by Lu Su.

Now I have a lot of questions in my mind:

First: How did the mute know Chen Ci?How did he know about the map?
Second: What secret is hidden in that disappearing silk book?
Third: Who is Master Bai?He disappeared for 14 years, is he also dead?Why did Lord Bai and Zhuan Dong disappear without a trace after they came out of Yashan Palace?Could it have something to do with their dialogue with 'themselves'?

Fourth: What is the purpose of the lamp that my grandfather gave me before he died?He also asked me to save someone, who was it?Could it be that I used the lamp in my hand to save the statement?However, isn't the corpse lamp already used by grandpa himself?
Fifth: Grandpa asked me to find Master Bai. Is there any agreement between him and Master Bai?
All of this is like a chaotic quagmire, and those of us who have never met before have gathered together because of this.

This quagmire is the source of the curse, and the Huuduo on Zhuanrui's shoulder is also related to it. The purpose of the mute is not clear, maybe I have to meet him to find out.As for Lu Su, he came here for the so-called 'key', gentle and elegant, but ambitious.

It's really not a good thing for us to get together.

After listening to me talking about the theft of the silk book, Lu Su narrowed his eyes and said gently: "Leave this matter to me to confirm. It's good to find the silk book. If you can't find it..." If you can't find it... There are so many possibilities, which shows that we still have an invisible and powerful opponent lurking.

At this point, the topic finally came to an end.Lu Su brought a lot of information this time, which solved a lot of my doubts, but brought out some new questions.

It was not too early now, he looked at the night outside the window, and said: "The purpose of my visit this time was originally to hope that you would go with us to find the whereabouts of Chen Ci, but now it seems that the situation has changed, I'll investigate the matter of Mr. Zhao first, and I'll contact you when the time comes." Then with a slight smile, he turned his head and asked Tofu, "What do you like to eat, I'll bring it to you next time."

Tofu was more thoughtful this time, and finally he didn't embarrass me, and said: "Don't think that you can bribe me with a little food, I will always remember what you did to Wei Nanjing, hurry up, hurry up, see You'll be upset."

Lu Su smiled and didn't say much. There was no anger on his face, like a kind brother, he patted Tofu on the shoulder and left downstairs.

It was already past twelve o'clock in the evening, Tofu and I had no sleepiness at all, we sat on the sofa and stared at each other.

Tofu couldn't hold his breath for a while, and said, "Old Chen, what are your plans for this matter?"

At the beginning when old man Zhao said something was lost, I didn't intend to let it go, but I went back to my hometown to follow the clues left by my grandfather, and then went to the Yashan Palace, which delayed me.Now it would be better if Lu Su went to lead the battle, so he said: "That dumb man must have a deep relationship with our Chen family, I must meet him and find out in person."

Tofu said: "But where is the mute now? Damn it, I should have left Lu Su's phone number just now." It was too late to think of it now, and we had to wait for Lu Su to show up.Mr. Zhao’s Dengfeng Building is located in the northwest of the Antique City, while our shop is located in the southeast, diagonally, and far away. On weekdays, Mr. Zhao doesn’t often go to the shop, so we don’t have much contact with each other. .

After Lu Su left, there was no news for two days in a row. The life in the shop was still the same, and sometimes I would chat with Miss Gu on the phone for a while. The three people in the shop were busy with their own things, and the days were very lively.On the afternoon of the third day, Tofu and Cyclops went out to the stalls, hoping to see if they could 'check out' some good goods. I studied the work notes left by my grandfather in the shop. I memorized most of the work notes. Some of the ancient prose that my grandfather copied from other places seemed difficult and difficult to figure out for a while.

I was watching with gusto, when a crisp voice suddenly came from the shop: "Boss, you don't need to greet customers anymore." In this business, you really don't need to greet customers. There are three kinds of people who visit antique shops. , the kind that has no money and will not buy it. This kind of person does not need to be greeted, because no matter how much you say hello, he will not buy it; The more attentive you are, the more he will feel that you are fooling him. You have to wait for him to look around and take the initiative to ask before receiving him;

Hearing this voice, I thought it was some strange visitor, but when I looked up, I found it was Dou Lin.

I frowned, and thought to myself why is this girl here?

She came uninvited, sat on the stool next to me, looked around, and said, "Where's my cousin."

I said: "Go out." Although I don't like it, I can't drive people out.

She smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Thank you last time, my brother's illness is also cured, and I'll treat you to dinner today."

I said: "It's easy to do, no need."

She was a little dissatisfied, her savage nature was revealed, and she said: "Hey, why are you like this, Miss Ben treats you to dinner, you just look so indifferent!"

I put away the notebook, glanced at her, and said lightly: "Enthusiasm depends on the person."

The little girl is arrogant and arrogant, she probably has never been treated like this before, and she blushed for a while, but I am telling the truth, Dou Lin has nothing to do with me, there is really no need for me to waste time and enthusiasm on her.

At this moment, Tofu and Cyclops crossed their shoulders, and each of them came back with an ice cream. It is normal to eat ice cream in October in Shenzhen. Tofu stuffed one for me and said, "Eat it quickly, or it will melt." " Immediately after seeing Dou Lin, she was taken aback and said, "Linlin, why are you here?"

As soon as Dou Lin served the tofu, she looked very ugly, and stomped away.Tofu was puzzled, touched his head and said, "Why is she here? Could it be that she came to see me?"

The one-eyed dragon said: "Come on, can't you see it, it's here to see the master."

Tofu looked me up and down, curled his lips, and said angrily: "Are all women blind now, why do they all like this kind of tune, with a cold face like someone owes you money... what's so good. "

Cyclops said: "You don't understand, the one who is in charge now is called Handsome Bingshan."

Hearing this, Tofu thought for a while, then his face suddenly darkened, imitating my appearance, and said coldly: "Shut up, and give me the account book."

The one-eyed dragon chuckled twice, and handed over a book of human figures.

Tofu said angrily, "I'm talking about the ledger!"

The one-eyed dragon said: "If you want to learn to be the master, you should lick the ice cream off your mouth first... Haha, I took a picture and posted it on Weibo." Tofu immediately grabbed the phone and said angrily: "Delete it, or I will let you The other eye is gone too." The two chased after each other, and the shops on the whole street were the busiest in our place.
