Notes on Tomb Raiders: God will punish evil

This compass aroused his great interest, especially the pattern on the compass, he looked at every texture very carefully, and refused to let go of any detail.

After about half an hour, Lao Ding put down the compass in his hand and asked me, "Xiao Lin, where did you get this compass from?"

I said, "This was unearthed from an ancient tomb recently. I can't understand it, so I want to ask Uncle Ding for advice."

Naturally, I didn't tell the truth when I said this. In fact, the source of this compass is more complicated. It may be related to some evil thing. I don't want Lao Ding and Ding Yin to be involved.

Lao Ding said: "Judging from the casting process of this compass, it should belong to the border period of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, around 500 BC. At that time, the depiction of bronzes had obvious characteristics, and this compass just fits this kind of period." feature."

I asked, "Uncle Ding, what does the grimace on the compass mean?"

Hearing my question, Lao Ding's face turned serious. He thought about it carefully and said, "I think there are only two possibilities."

I was very curious and asked, "Uncle Ding, tell me, what are the two possibilities?"

Lao Ding thought for a while and said, "Xiao Lin, you must know something about the use of the compass. It was used by the ancients for divination and feng shui. Therefore, the compass is mostly related to feudal superstition."

Lao Ding continued: "Although this compass is a superstitious thing, it has condensed the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients for thousands of years. Artifacts of research value."

I already knew what Lao Ding said, but what I want to know is, what exactly is this grimace?

Lao Ding said: "From the perspective of the use of the compass, I got two points. First, this ghost face may be the god of a certain ethnic minority in ancient times, but because their ethnic group disappeared, we can no longer get this ethnic minority. cultural connotation. Therefore, no one knows what this grimace really means.”

Lao Ding's analysis was very reasonable, and I guessed in my heart that there was such a possibility.I asked, "Uncle Ding, what about another possibility?"

Lao Ding hesitated for a while, and then said: "The other possibility is more limited and very scary. He waved his hand and said to me, Xiao Lin, take a closer look at the pattern on this compass."

Hearing Lao Ding say this, I was very surprised, because I have seen the pattern on this compass countless times, and I can remember the first details very clearly.

Lao Ding said: "The compass in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are quite different from the modern compass. At that time, there were no more than two kinds of compass. Maps and quirky designs are drawn on it, and such a compass usually records some important event in the family."

I have to admire that Lao Ding's ability to identify cultural relics far exceeds that of me, a top student at Peking University.

Lao Ding said: "So the second point is very simple. This compass may belong to a certain family, and it has recorded a very weird thing."

I carefully thought about the two results given by Lao Ding, and I think the latter result is more likely.

I continued to ask: "Uncle Ding, do you think there is any connection between this painting and this bronze compass? Why are the patterns depicted in them so similar?"

In fact, before I raised this question, Lao Ding was already thinking about it, and he said: "I'm not sure now, but judging from the patterns depicted on the compass, it should be far earlier than the age of this painting. The two items are not from the same era at all.”

I agree with Lao Ding's point of view, but why do they express the same content? Could it be that Lao Ding's biological mother, Luo Lan, and their family have always guarded a secret, which is the reason for the source of their spiritual power.

This idea is very bold, but it still works theoretically, but I don't know what the secret is.

Lao Ding said: "Xiao Lin, why don't you put the compass here, and I will study it carefully in the next few days, maybe there will be amazing discoveries."

I nodded and said, "Uncle Ding, I will trouble you."

After leaving Lao Ding's house, I went directly to the gold and silver jewelry processing shop to see how my chain decorated with soul-locking beads was doing.

In fact, I knew very well in my heart that all the craftsman had to do was just the bottom of the ornament. As for the chain, it had already been finished, so the construction period should be very fast.

When I arrived at the gold and silver jewelry processing shop, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Fortunately, the scale of the gold and silver jewelry processing shop was quite large, so the business hours were relatively long, at seven o'clock in the evening Most of the time, it is the peak time of human flow.

As soon as I entered the store, the owner of that store happened to be in the store. When he saw me coming, he was very polite and hurried up to say hello.

I asked, "How is my chain doing?"

The boss was very polite and said: "The workers have been rushing to work these few days, and they have already finished it. Please wait a moment." After finishing speaking, he took out the chain from the back room.

Because I graduated from the Department of Archeology of Peking University, I still have some research on jewelry.I took the chain from the boss and studied it carefully in the palm of my hand.

After all, it is 10 yuan. Although it is only a small amount for me, for ordinary people, 10 yuan will take a long time to save.

As soon as I hold the chain in my hand, I know its authenticity. Besides, if such a big store is opened here, if it is found to be deceiving people, it will sooner or later be difficult for him to open.

The entire chain is made of platinum, and the manufacturing process of platinum is also very unique. Small diamonds are inlaid in the platinum, making the entire platinum necklace look silvery.

But I pay more attention to the things that are inlaid with the soul-locking beads on the chain. When I take out the soul-locking beads, the boss will inlay the soul-locking beads on the chain to form a perfect pendant.

Because the soul-locking beads are relatively large, the chain as a whole is not only finely crafted, but also elegant in appearance.

The hook inlaid with the soul-locking beads is also specially made of platinum, and the size and proportion are just right.The hook hooked the soul-locking bead firmly, which looked very strong.

I am quite satisfied with the whole workmanship, so I paid all the money without hesitation.

Putting the chain around my neck, I thought to myself: "My third child, you will always be the closest to me in the future, and we will always be together in this life."

Chapter 12 Qingniu Mountain

The next thing is to go to Beijing to attend Li Kai's wedding.

I counted the time, today is June [-]th, I must prepare to leave for Beijing.

With the rise of science and technology, the network has become very developed now, which provides convenience for people's life.

I immediately booked a plane ticket to Beijing on the Internet, and the time was set at ten o'clock in the morning on June [-]th.

Taking a plane from Dongjiang to Beijing should be very fast, you can get there in two or three hours, and the people are very relaxed, and the price of air tickets is not expensive now.Besides, a diamond king like me would not care about such a small amount of money.

With my mind made up, I drove home and entered the empty mansion alone.

Indeed, now I am very empty and lonely, with nothing to do all day long, thinking that Li Kai is already married, but I am still alone, I feel a little uncomfortable.

Sometimes, I really want to go to the bar to get drunk, which can be regarded as a kind of self-indulgence!

But I still restrained my behavior. At this time, I missed my third child more and more.

I have worries in my heart, and the only thing I can do is drink. During this period of time, I am afraid that I drink the most.Because getting drunk can relieve a thousand worries, when you get drunk, you forget all the troubles.

Fortunately, I have a lot of famous wines in my home, and these wines have played a huge role at the moment. I use these wines to numb my nerves.

Emptiness is the greatest enemy in life, in fact, this is the performance of my escapism.

That night, I was drowsy again and soon fell asleep.When I woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

At ten o'clock today, I have to catch a plane, and it takes at least half an hour from my home to Dongjiang Airport, even by taxi.

I finished washing in a hurry, and I also dressed up carefully, wearing a black designer suit.

Only on important occasions, I will wear a suit, such as attending Li Kai's wedding.

By the time everything was packed, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

I didn't care much anymore, so I quickly called a taxi and rushed to Dongjiang City Airport.

Finally, at [-]:[-], I arrived at the airport on time, and the ticket check had already started at the entrance of the airport.
