Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

Chapter 157 Visiting the Mountain and Asking Questions

"How did you see it?" Brother Qi Ling's eyes were a little surprised, but they were quickly covered by the admiration in his eyes.

"Because everything went so smoothly, when we got out of the car, someone told us where we should live? Then it just so happened that someone checked out a room? And even tomorrow's itinerary was arranged. I know you doubt it, but you don't tell me , That speaks for itself!" I moved closer and said softly.

"You're very smart." Brother Qiling praised me while rolling his eyes. His expression at the moment is really terrible.

I was afraid that the atmosphere would fall into ambiguity again, so I quickly changed the topic back and asked, "Uh... Seriously, do you see anything wrong?"

"Since you're here, please rest easy, don't think too much, go to bed early!" Brother Qi Ling put his hand on my back and patted it lightly.

"Tell me, at least let me know how to cooperate with you!" I still did not give up.

Seeing how persistent I was, he knew that if I didn’t say anything, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even go to sleep, so he lowered his head and whispered in my ear: “I don’t know the other party’s purpose for the time being, but I suspect that the fat man has also fallen into a trap.” .”

"What?" I wanted to get up excitedly, but he held me down, and then covered my mouth with his hand, making a silent gesture.

I calmed down, Brother Qi Ling left the bed, walked gently to the door of the room, and listened to the movement outside with his ears.I looked at him cautiously.He didn't dare to breathe, wondering what he heard?

After a while, he walked back with a calm expression.

I asked in a low voice, "Is anyone out there?"

He shook his head and lay down next to me again.

"Then do you think Brother Fat is in danger now?" I asked anxiously.

"It shouldn't be so. Fatty is also a person with a bit of ability, so he doesn't suffer so easily." He turned around, faced me, pushed down the quilt on the pillow, and said, "Don't worry, hurry up." sleep!"

"I slept a lot during the day, and I'm not sleepy now! Can you talk to me again?" I looked at the light in his eyes, like stars, as if I hadn't fallen asleep yet, as if I was in a dream, completely ignoring myself The tone of voice also carries a very heavy element of coquettishness.

He leaned forward and asked with a nasal voice that I love to hear: "What do you want to talk about?"

My face was caressed by his breath, and only then did I realize that there is no way to talk today, and I'm afraid something will happen if we continue talking.I laughed and said, "Oh, I suddenly feel a little sleepy again. Let's talk about it tomorrow if you have something to say!" After finishing speaking, I turned my back to him, and at the same time silently pressed the place where the thumping thumping kept going, I scolded myself for being an idiot.

There was silence behind him, he didn't speak any more, he just covered me with the quilt and adjusted the air conditioner to a suitable temperature, and there was no more movement.

In fact, my mind was so messed up that I couldn't sleep at all.The words of the female receptionist still linger in my ears.What is your relationship?Who knows what's the relationship?Maybe after tonight we'll just be buddies who can sleep in the same bed and nothing will happen?But what if he is really not interested in me?When I was in Beijing, I still wanted to kiss me.

"Oh, what a mysterious man, how can I see through him as an idiot in love like me." I thought about it for a while, and finally gave up because my brain was overloaded.Since there is no answer, let everything take its course!

No more words tonight.

Early the next morning, I was woken up by the morning call from the front desk. Yesterday, the girl heard that it was me who answered the call, and her tone was obviously a bit disappointed.Barely compose myself, and then told me to go down to have breakfast first, and then get on the car of the tour group at [-]:[-] and set off.

I thanked him, rubbed my sleepy eyes and got up, only to realize that the quilt in the middle had already fallen to the bottom of the bed, and I not only crossed the boundary, but also fell asleep in his rear base camp. To be precise, if I If you turn over, you will fall to the bottom of the bed.

"But where did Brother Qiling go? I've already kicked him down, right?" I lay on the edge of the bed and looked down, searching under the bed.

"What are you looking for?" The question suddenly sounded behind him.

It was his voice, I looked back at him wiping his face with a towel, and looked at me with some doubts.

"..." I was suddenly at a loss for words. I felt that I was really stupid, and I couldn't say that I was looking for you. After thinking for a while, I had to say, "Looking for shoes."

"Here." He knelt down to help me arrange the shoes, motioning for me to come and put them on.

I probably forgot to go to bed from here yesterday, I slept like a tourist, and of course I couldn't find my shoes.Brother Qi Ling's expression was normal, and he didn't look like he hadn't slept well. Since he didn't pursue my transgression, of course I pretended not to know, and the matter was over.

After a simple breakfast, the two of us boarded the car of the tour group. The girl at the front desk looked at Brother Ling affectionately, and watched us go away.You really didn't pay attention to my nominal girlfriend at all!Blatantly trying to steal my man.If it weren't for the fact that she helped us secure the vehicle, I could hardly bear it anymore.

"What are you thinking?" Brother Qiling couldn't help asking when he saw that I was looking out the window without saying a word.

"When I'm thinking about coming back, I definitely won't live here anymore." My anger was still there, so I couldn't help but feel dissatisfied in my tone, and I also gave him a glare by the way.

Brother Qiling's expression didn't change, he just looked at me with probing eyes, then raised his eyebrows, and replied: "Okay."

Yunyang Mountain is located in the west of the county. Its altitude is not high, but it is a holy place for Taoism and Buddhism.In addition, because of its beautiful scenery, it is second only to Nanyue Hengshan, so it has the reputation of "Little Nanyue".

The team members are from all over the world and don't know each other, so even if we joined later, we seemed very comfortable.They invited a local tour guide, a dark-skinned middle-aged woman who spoke a strong local accent, and gave us a general introduction to the scenic spots and precautions on the mountain in the car.

According to ancient books such as "Han Xuetang Silk Book" and "Huangfu Ji", Yunyang Mountain was named after the son of the Yellow Emperor, Shaohao Yunyang, was named here, and it was also the fiefdom of the eighth generation of Shennong Yandi.Other than that, I haven't heard of any ancient tombs, so why did Fat Brother come here? What does it mean to "become a god on Yunyang Mountain"?

When we came to the foot of the mountain and looked up to see the towering peak, we could roughly understand the meaning of Fat Brother's words.Fortunately, the rain stopped today, but the road up the mountain is still very slippery. However, whether it is tourists from other places or local pilgrims, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, which is very lively.

There was a person in the group who looked like a team leader and told us that we could go sightseeing on our own while going up the mountain, and we would gather in Qinglian at the top of the peak at noon.This arrangement is very timely, because we have never met each other, and it is quite embarrassing to force them together.

Brother Qiling and I looked at each other, and immediately took our things and set off.Because the time is very tight, not only to find out where the fat brother is, but also to pay attention to whether there are eyes and ears in the team.

The scenery of Yunyang Mountain is indeed beautiful, but we have no time to take care of it.Along the way, I went in to burn incense in the big temples and small temples, and found monks by the way to inquire about the whereabouts of Fat Brother.

Because we believe that it is difficult for anyone who has met him not to be impressed with him. He has a high-profile personality and talks a lot.Sometimes he would play some pranks, just like a real-life old urchin.But even so, we still got nothing.

When these people saw the photos on their mobile phones, they either shook their heads and said they hadn't seen them, or simply said they didn't know.Seeing that he has almost climbed to the top of the mountain, there are not many remaining temples and Taoist temples. Didn't Fat Brother come here?Or has time passed so long that these people can't remember?

"Drink some water!" Brother Qi Ling saw that I was a little discouraged, suggested to take a break, and handed me the water bottle.

I took a few sips and asked, "Did you notice someone following us?"

Brother Qi Ling shook his head, and replied: "Maybe the end point will always meet, there is no need to expose it in advance."

I nodded, took out my handkerchief and wiped my sweat, thinking that mountain climbing in summer is really good for exercise.Brother Qi Ling silently put me on my forehead and straightened my sweat-soaked bangs, then pointed to the rolling mountains in the distance and said: "Since we are almost here, why not slow down and take a good look at the scenery."

His suggestion was in line with my wishes, so I naturally had no objection.We played and walked all the way, and when we arrived at the meeting point, it was almost noon, and other members also arrived one after another.

This Taoist temple is not big, the main hall is dedicated to Sanqing Daoist, and the other side halls are converted into wing rooms.The commercial atmosphere here is strong, and most of the tourists we accept are from big cities like us, who want to stay away from the secular world and come here to find short-term peace.

The so-called practice is nothing more than cultivating the mind and discussing the Tao, eating fast and practicing kung fu, and when you go back and forth, you can buy some souvenirs or local traditional Chinese medicine and it will be over, which is very deceptive.

What's even more unfortunate is that when I arrived at the Taoist temple, I found out that the team was either a couple or a husband and wife, so when the room was allocated, it was two people. Naturally, Brother Ling and I were divided into the same room and the same bed.

I think this trip is really like a practice for me, and I should have insisted on rejecting Wu Xie's suggestion at the beginning.The two of us really shouldn't go out alone, because when traveling together, we always have to face these problems.

Lunch is a vegetarian meal with some wild vegetables. In the afternoon, you can go to the back mountain to collect herbs by yourself.Brother Qi Ling is not interested in this. Apart from looking at the surrounding environment of the Taoist temple, he spends most of the time sitting in the front hall quietly looking into the distance, wondering what he is thinking?

At this time, I was also more anxious. If there is no whereabouts of the fat brother, it means that the clues have been interrupted, and I don't know where to find him?After dinner, we all meditated with the master in the temple. If we slipped out alone, it would be too conspicuous, so we had to stay with the crowd.

I thought the day would end like this, but I fell asleep until midnight, and my stomach suddenly burst into cramps. I wanted to restrain myself and endure it, but the pain became more and more intense, and my whole body was dripping with cold sweat. To make matters worse, when I touched the bed next to me, it was empty. Where did Brother Qi Ling go?
