Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

"Do you still remember how you got that jade bracelet?" Fat Brother looked at me and asked seriously.

I thought about it for a while before I said: "The first time I saw it, it was worn on the hand of that Xiling woman, Lei Wan. After she died, she was taken by Princess Mi Xin of Chu State, and then I don't know what happened. This bracelet just appeared in my bag." Having said that, I paused.

"Well, as for this jade bracelet, there is something to say about its origin." The fat man changed to a more comfortable sitting position and continued: "Ah, according to legend, our ancestor, the Huangdi Xuanyuan family, the reason why he was called the Yellow Emperor , that is because he has a piece of precious jade, which is called Huang because of its transparent body and yellowish color. The circle in the middle is in the shape of a circle, and the two ends are in the shape of hooked clouds. It's clearly documented."

Speaking of this, Brother Qiling probably felt that there was no danger after looking around, or maybe he was attracted by Fat Brother's words, so he returned to my side, sat down, and listened quietly.

"Brother Fat, what does that have to do with our jade bracelet?" Seeing that Brother Fatty was being tricky again, I couldn't help urging him to continue talking quickly.

Fat brother saw that my appetite had been whetted, so he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and said unhurriedly: "Don't forget that Xuanyuan's wife is from this Xiling country, have you thought of anything now?" After finishing speaking The fat guy winked at me.

If he hadn't been seriously injured, I would have wanted to beat him up a long time ago.Thinking that since he likes to show off so much, then let's cooperate with him!So, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, he said, "Could it be that this jade bracelet was given to my mother country by the Luozu Empress?"

"Whether it was given by Luozu himself, we don't know, but I think it has something to do with her! After all, Xiling is her mother country. This bracelet was regarded as a treasure by successive kings in Xiling. It has been passed down to the hands of this generation of Xiling princes." , he gave the treasure to his sweetheart, hey, who knew that a rival in love would be killed halfway and snatched away."

I think what the fat brother said doesn't make sense, but I can't tell why for a while, so I have to ask again: "Whether the jade bracelet comes from the Luozu or the Yellow Emperor, what does this have to do with your trip?" What about the relationship? What are you looking for?"

The fat brother gave me a blank look, and when he saw me staring at him, he replied a little unnaturally: "Sister, why are you so anxious! Brother's story is not finished yet. The Yellow Emperor divided this piece of topaz into three pieces, and the hand in the middle The shape of the ring was changed into a jade bracelet and distributed to his wife, and then passed back to Xiling as a treasure. The other two pieces were given to his eldest son Xuan Xiao and second son Changyi respectively. This is Xuan Xiao's. tomb."

Xuanxiao, nicknamed Baidi, also known as Shaohao, was the eldest son of Huangdi and Luozu.He was revered as one of the "Five Emperors" by later generations.

Fat Brother's words were like a whirlwind blowing away the fog in front of my eyes.It's just that although the answer to the mystery has been solved, there are countless new mysteries coming one after another.For example, Xuan Xiao is the leader of the Dongyi tribe, a branch of Huaxia.All historical materials record that after his father's death, he succeeded as emperor, set his capital in Rizhao, Shandong, and then moved to Qufu.He was buried there after his death, and there is still Shaohao Mausoleum in Qufu to this day. How could there be another Shaohao Mausoleum in Yunyang, Hunan thousands of miles away for no reason?This doesn't make sense!

"Brother Fat, don't lie to me, or we will throw you here and let you continue to practice Turtle Breathing Kung Fu." I shouted loudly at Brother Fat, my tone was full of threats, because I thought that Brother Fat might not to be honest.

"Haha...cute comrade, you are a fox following a tiger. Sure enough, you have the backing of a little brother, and you have the confidence to speak. Well, you are so smart, I can't deceive you even if I want to!" After finishing talking, the fat brother A little aggrieved, I muttered something in a low voice that I didn't catch clearly.

"But why are you here? Have you seen the owner of the tomb?" I still did not give up.

"Please, copper and iron will rust in this environment for thousands of years, let alone a flesh body! But the bone vessel in your hand may belong to him." The fat man said with a smile.

I knew he was just trying to scare me, but luckily I'm no longer a coward.But he also lowered his head and glanced at the things in his hand, and said indifferently: "Fat brother, you mean that after the death of Mr. Shaohao, he polished his own bones and left them as artifacts for future generations as a souvenir?"

"Oh, Zhang Zilin, don't talk nonsense in other people's tombs, beware of taboos, people will not let you go because of anger." Fat brother raised his white injured hands and waved them towards me.

I couldn't help laughing, and joked: "If you want to stay, let's keep you first. You have blown up the tomb of others. Maybe the reason why the Dragon Breaking Stone fell down is also his old man's intention! This Why don't you just stay here..."

"Sister, can we stop talking about this? The more you talk, the more infiltrating you become. If I want to leave, no one can keep me. When I recover from my injury, I can leave with just a hole. Do you believe it?" Fatty When my brother raised his voice, he was a little unconvinced.

Brother Qiling and I looked at each other and smiled, and didn't bother to tease him any more, so we nodded obediently and said, "I believe, I have no doubts, can you tell me more about the whereabouts of that piece of yellow in Biewai? Did you find it in the end?"

"There's a fart, let me tell you, you have to believe the legend, and you can't believe it all. My brother searched the hole upside down, but he didn't find the jade pendant mentioned in the historical materials. But it didn't return, so we can't work in vain. , it’s better to take some casually than nothing.” Fat Brother’s eyes fell into the bag.

I pulled the zipper of my backpack and said with a smile: "It seems that someone said just now that as long as I don't cry, all these things belong to me!"

After listening to my words, Fat Brother quickly stretched out his hand to grab it, but his injured hand was not as fast as mine. In a second, the bag was tightly held in my arms.I proudly said: "A gentleman said, it's hard to catch a horse! This time I came out to find you, but I spent all my savings. I usually save the little money I spent on food and frugality, and threw it all in the Taoist temple on the top of Yunyang Mountain, so fat brother you I don’t feel wronged if this thing belongs to me. In addition, Brother Ling won’t go to the grave anymore, this is his last job, you can’t bear to see him return empty-handed, don’t you think?”

I think that what I said is reasonable and impeccable.Unexpectedly, it provoked the fat brother to shake his head again and again, laughing at me as a man who is not married yet, thinking of everything for my husband, my skin is thicker than a city wall.

Fat brother is a typical aggressive method. I could have ignored him, but Qi Ling leaned into my ear and whispered: "Actually, you don't have to worry, I..."

I hurriedly signaled him to stop talking, and blinked at him, which meant that this fat man was enough for me to deal with.Brother Qiling closed his mouth in good time, crossed his hands lazily, and let us have our troubles.

Fat Brother wanted to say something more, but unfortunately I didn't give him a chance, so I preempted the conversation and said: "Fat Brother, look! First of all, you said you would give it to me first, right? Secondly, there is nothing valuable here, belonging to It has research value, but no investment value. You are a businessman, and it is useless to hold it. Then we will have to move you out later. Give me some sweetness, and I can take better care of you on the way!"

Fat brother finally couldn't bear it anymore and waved his hand at me and said: "Stop talking, Zhang Zilin, this is the dowry my brother prepared for you, and it belongs to you! Sigh, I originally wanted to give you a shop so that you can do it after you and my brother get married. Do a small business, so you can live and work in peace, I didn't expect your eyelids to be so shallow, look at your greedy little appearance, I don't know where you learned it from."

"Hey, brother, do you really give me a shop?" I automatically ignored the other words he said to me, and only heard the word shop echoing clearly.

The fat man waved his hand again and said, "It's gone. The contents of this bag are enough for you to retire without worry."

I glued it on and said: "It's almost, you know, our little brother is a picky eater, and we have to take care of three meals, and we don't have much savings, so we can't buy a house or a car in the future, and we have to raise children! So being so shrewd is not because you teach well, it is always right to worry about it in advance!"

Fat brother has been entangled by me to the point of showing a loveless expression, especially in order to swindle money from him, I even made up a lie that my little brother is picky eater, so I can only look at brother Ling for help.

Brother Qi Ling shrugged his shoulders, as if he had nothing to do with it, and got up to continue his inspection.On the other hand, I kept looking at him eagerly, planning to win a huge profit that ordinary people can't imagine with Fat Brother today.

The fat guy clicked his tongue twice, and said, "Zhang Zilin, you are really worthless. The younger brother's appearance fee was astonishingly high back then. How much savings he has is still a mystery. He himself has forgotten it. Let Tian Zhen check it out for him later. Cha, maybe you are richer than me. You are not married yet! Don't just think about posting backwards, brother knows that no one will live better than you."

I curled my lips, noncommittal to Fat Brother's words, thinking that it's his business that he has money, anyway, I can't be without money.So he couldn't help but put the bag on his back, and said with a smile: "Fat brother, if you have more dowry, I will have more face in my husband's house, right? This will be used as dowry, and you will transfer the ownership of the shop later. You are an authentic big brother." Uncle."

When the fat man heard this, he couldn't help laughing, poked his finger on my forehead, and said casually: "Sister, I was a little moved by you. If it was uncle, the money would not be spent well." Injustice, not only not wronged, but also worth it, really worth it!"

I don't know why Fat Brother was so excited when he heard the title of Big Uncle, but let him go anyway.I stood up, just after patting the ashes on my butt, I wanted to stretch my waist and exercise my muscles and bones, but suddenly there was a "boom" from above, and then the whole cave shook on the spot.

"Be careful!" Brother Qi Ling yelled at me, and then threw me to the ground.At the same time, a stalagmite fell from the roof of the cave and hit me where I was just standing.If he wasn't fast enough, I might have gone to see Hades by now.

Fortunately, the fat brother was sitting next to the stone statue, and his legs were retracted, but he was not hurt.We are all a little confused by the sudden change.The fat brother even cursed inexplicably: "These grandsons want to kill me." As soon as he finished cursing, he was picked up by Qi Ling.

"Hey, brother, this is a bit ugly, I can walk by myself." The fat brother wanted to retain some dignity, but when he saw the crackling and falling stones from the top of the cave, he changed his words: "Brother, hurry up!"

I was pulling my bag behind me, if Brother Qi Ling didn't run so fast, I would have kicked Fat Brother's ass a few times to make him shut up.

After a while, we ran back to the cave where we came down just now. Fortunately, it has not collapsed yet.Going here now is the fastest way out of the tomb.After Qiling put down Fat Brother, he took out the rope from his bag, stepped on the stone pillar and climbed up to the entrance of the cave, and threw one end of the rope down.

I tied it to the fat guy, and he was lifted up.Brother Qiling was very considerate, especially made the hole bigger, so that the fat brother's figure could also pass through.But Brother Qi Ling was still afraid that he would block me, so he simply pulled him out.

Taking advantage of this time, I took a final look at this place, and the historical sites thousands of years ago are about to be covered under the loess again.And us outsiders are not welcome after all.

"Zilin, pull the rope." Brother Qi Ling threw down the rope and shouted at me.

I hurriedly restrained my mind, pulled the rope and climbed up by stepping on the stone pillar.After we got out of the cave, we found a small puddle of blood left at the water outlet, and the fat man disappeared again.

The author has something to say:

Zi Lin pondered: "I got a dowry from the iron rooster, and I feel better!"

Brother Qi Ling: "Actually, there is no need. I should have a lot of money. Let me think about it first."

Fat Brother: "..."
