Tomb Raiders Notes - Zhangjia Mausoleum Keeper

"What is Haolan?" Fat Brother carefully looked at the night pearl in his hand, and asked shiningly.

"It is said that Zhou Tianzi has a treasure, also named Haolan, who can light up the whole room in the dark night, and the hair can be seen clearly within a few steps. It is as bright as a candle. It is a very rare treasure. Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Qin State, is a businessman. At that time, he paid a thousand gold to buy it, and then gave it to Mrs. Huayang, who was the most beloved prince of Qin Dynasty at that time, and bought her to recognize Sun Qinyi, the king of Qin who was a hostage in Zhao country at that time, as his adopted son, and then helped him escape from Zhao country. There was the later King Qin Xiang, whose son was the famous Qin Shihuang. However, it is said that the Haolan that Lu Buwei bought was not real. low, so he urgently needs to establish some reputation and momentum in the society."

"You mean, the real Haolan has been brought into the underground palace by the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, the one in front of me?" Wu Xie also asked a little excitedly.

"Well, it's possible." I nodded. "Looking at the size and color of this luminous pearl, it is undoubtedly a treasure in the world. I once visited the museum of the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty, which displayed a luminous pearl weighing more than 100 grams. It is much smaller than this one. It is said that it is the grandson of the Tangling robber Dianying pried it out of the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi. There is an ancient legend that the Ye Mingzhu can keep the corpse from decaying, which seems to explain why the corpse has not decayed for thousands of years."

"Then what if the corpse leaves the bead?" Fat Brother asked eagerly suddenly.

"This..." Before I could answer.

The male corpse in the coffin suddenly sat up, his mouth opened wide, the muscles of his body shrank rapidly, pulled together, his beard stood up straight, as if he was still alive, and he was about to climb out of the coffin, and then the skin on the male corpse's face The block began to crack and peel off, revealing the white bones inside, which then turned black.

When we saw it, we couldn't help taking a few steps back in fright, staring at the coffin warily.

Fat Brother shouted: "Damn, is this thousand-year-old Zongzi about to turn into a dead body?"

But with a "click", the skeleton collapsed and slowly melted into a pile of ash. The whole process took only a few seconds, and before everyone could react, there was a sudden "boom, boom, boom" sound from the bottom of the cave. Then the whole platform shook violently.

Poker-Face's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "No, it seems that there is a balance device at the bottom of the coffin. Once the weight in the coffin changes, the mechanism will activate, and the platform may collapse automatically. Could it be that the owner of the tomb asked us to way to hell?"

"Then what should we do?" Wu Xie asked hurriedly while supporting the coffin.

"Go up the hanging ladder first." Poker bottle waved.

At this time, the shaking stopped suddenly, and everything was as usual, as if nothing had happened, except that the male corpse in the coffin had turned into a pile of ashes.

"Grandma, what's going on?" Fat Brother wiped his sweat and asked a little irritably.

No one answered, and we wanted to know what was going on. Poker-finger frowned and did not speak. I have often seen his expression since entering this tomb. I would rather he was expressionless or at least looked calm. When he frowned, I felt that something was going to happen, and my heart became agitated.

"Hey... Come and take a look." Fat Brother leaned closer to the coffin again, pointed to the inside and said, "When did these two things get added?"

We moved over carefully and saw that there was an ancient sword and a yellow gold silk at some point inside the coffin. These two things were placed at the bottom left of the coffin. We didn’t see them just now, they should be covered by the hem of the tomb owner’s robe , because the clothes were exposed to the air and weathered, and I only saw it now.

Seeing that there are still treasures, the fat brother couldn't hold back, he stuffed Ye Mingzhu into his breast pocket, then reached in and grabbed the two things out.

"Don't move!" We couldn't stop it, so we could only hold on to the edge of the coffin lid, watching nervously for any movement around us.

But this time it didn't shake again, and we couldn't help but wonder, if there is a balance device at the bottom of the coffin as Poker said, then as long as you take something from it, there will be movement, but at this time it's like a mechanism Failed again in general.

Seeing how nervous we were, Fat Brother couldn’t help but contemptuously said: “The three of you are really cowardly, why are you nervous? It’s okay! You always scare yourself.” He spread out the golden silk, and colored gold silk was used inside. There are a lot of things embroidered with silk, and the left side is crooked like a painting. You can’t see anything about the specific painting. There are many ancient characters written in the middle. We don’t have a reference book for reference now, and we can’t read a single word. I understand, looking back, it’s still a piece of text, I don’t know what I’m writing.

Fat Brother clicked his tongue and said, "This is not a treasure map, is it?"

Wu Xie and I took a closer look with the flashlight, and suddenly a few words in the lower right corner caught our attention.

Wu Xie pointed to the words on it and said, "This seems to be written in the year of Guiwei. I have seen it in the silk script of the Warring States Period."

I pointed to the words in the lower left corner again and said, "Do you think it says the year of Gengchen?"

Wu Xie thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, when I was studying the Silk Books of the Warring States Period, I deliberately studied the dates of the stems and branches. Then...this...could it be?" Wu Xie suddenly became anxious.

"What kind of charades are you two playing?" Fat Brother asked puzzled seeing us two muttering for a long time.

"Yes, according to the date of Ganzhi, the year of Guiwei is 878 BC, which is the period of King Mu of Zhou in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the year of Gengchen is around 1001 AD. It is the period of King Li of Zhou, the tenth monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Riot "the tyrant who fled to Huo County, Shanxi."

"You mean that the emperor is either King Zhou Mu or King Zhou Li?" Fat Brother asked with a dark side.

"Now it seems that it can be confirmed that it is King Zhou Li. After all, only descendants record the predecessors. How can the predecessors speculate that the descendants produced a King Zhou Li? There are five generations between them!" I analyzed with certainty.

"Then why are there two date records at the same time?" Wu Xie asked puzzled.

"I'm afraid this has something to do with the written content of those records and that picture!" I looked at Poker Bottle.

Boyouping didn't express anything about our analysis, but just signaled Wu Xie to put the silk book away and study it when he went back.

Suddenly, there was a cold light in front of him, and he saw the fat brother pull out the sword, and he kept tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk admiration.

I saw that this is a long handle made of bronze, glass, and turquoise. It is much longer than the Wu King Fuchai spear recorded in the history books, but slightly shorter than the Longquan Sword of Yue King Goujian. A dragon pattern is lifelike, as if it could fly up at any time, and the word "Dragon Yin" is engraved on the other side. It seems that this is King Li's personal sword. The blade has a cold light, and it looks very sharp. I think that as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty, our country's smelting technology was already so exquisite.

Fat Brother suddenly smiled: "Brother, didn't you drop your Heigujin Sword? The one at the back is gone, right? This one is for you!" Instead of passing the handle of the knife, he stabbed directly at Poker Bottle's heart with the edge of the sword.

"Be careful..." I was the first person to notice something strange because I was standing next to Fat Brother, but I couldn't stop it, so I could only hit him hard with my elbow, trying to knock him aside, but it felt like I hit a wall, and I gasped in pain. Instead, I took a few steps back. I couldn't stand still and sat on the ground. I took off the flashlight and rolled off the platform.

Fat brother, no, at this moment he seems to have become a person, his face is gloomy and terrifying, because of my intervention, he missed the sword, Poker Bottle has already dodged aside, the fat brother saw that he missed the hit, As if getting annoyed, there was a gloomy clucking sound from his mouth, and his eyes became blood red. He suddenly turned his head to the side, staring at me sitting on the ground with cold and strange eyes.

"Fatty man, what the hell are you doing?" Wu Xie looked at him in horror, and pulled me up from the ground.

"Hahahaha..." Fat Brother suddenly laughed grinningly, his voice was like a dilapidated bellows, which made one's hair stand on end.

I saw him raise the sword in his hand and stab it straight at us. We couldn't avoid it because the distance was too close. At this moment, the oil bottle on the side of the coffin suddenly jumped in front of us. He took off the gun on his chest to block it, but Seeing a flash of sparks and a sound of "click", the □□ was cut into two sections, Poker Face's face turned serious, and he shouted eagerly at us: "Go to the hanging ladder quickly."

Before I could react, Wu Xie pulled the bag on my back and dragged me onto the hanging ladder beside me.

"Damn it, I'm afraid this fat man has been caught by a ghost." Wu Xie scolded angrily, and said, "I'll help my little brother, be careful yourself." Then he jumped down and joined hands with Poker Ping to surround him go up.

It's a pity that the Dragon Yin in Fat Brother's hand is so powerful that they didn't dare to approach them rashly. Fat Brother stared at them and smiled sinisterly again. The laughter echoed in the huge cave, as if it had been magnified countless times, like Watching a horror movie in a 3D surround theater, there is a feeling of "the thousand-year-old corpse king has been released", which made my hands tremble slightly as I hugged the emerald stone steps tightly.

Wu Xie suddenly slammed on the coffin lid with a gun, and the sound attracted Fat Brother's attention. Poker-Face saw the opportunity, raised his leg and kicked, towards Fat Brother's sword-holding hand, Fat Brother staggered back under the force After two steps, the sword didn't come out of his hand. Poker Fing's actions completely angered him. He swung the sword in his hand and slashed at Poker Finger again. After all, the platform has limited space and had to be returned.

Poker bottle dodged left and right, his movements were very sensitive, but he had no chance to fight back. He still seemed to have scruples, afraid of driving the fat man who had lost his mind into the hole. It was really hard for him. I sat on the hanging ladder and did it I was in a hurry, but I couldn’t do anything to help. I suddenly remembered the magic weapon I broke before. There is always a reason for everything. Why didn’t King Li’s soul go to the other three of us, but Fat Brother? It was nothing more than two things that he carried on his body, one was the sword in his hand and the other was Haolan in his pocket.

I shouted at Poker Bottle: "Da Bo, look for a chance to snatch the sword in his hand and the night pearl in his pocket."

Poker-Face nodded from a distance, and suddenly jumped onto the coffin lid, raised his leg and thrust hard at the fat brother's face, I felt pain when I saw it, the fat brother got kicked hard, and the sword fell down with a plop Rolled on the ground to the edge of the platform, seeing that he almost fell, our hearts also rose to our throats, and we saw that Poker Bottle rushed over and grabbed him, and the man grabbed him, from his chest pocket But a ball of shining light rolled out, it was the Haolan, it rolled straight down the platform and fell into the bottomless hole below.

Until the light was completely hidden in the darkness, we didn't even hear the sound of a landing, the rare treasures coveted by the world for thousands of years just disappeared in our hands, and it came from nature and returned to nature. It's really embarrassing.

At this time, the fat man spit out a lot of white foam from his mouth with a pop, then rubbed his eyes and looked around as if he had just woken up.

"Fat... fat brother, are you awake? Do you know who I am?" I asked eagerly.

He twitched the corner of his mouth towards me, and said weakly: "Innocent sister, cute!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Fat Brother is finally back." I happily tugged at Wu Xie's sleeves, and he also smiled, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
