[Tomb Raiders Notes Sand Sea] Into the Red Dust

.

"Fuck, Fat Lord, I have opened my mouth before, so when you soar in the future, Fatty Master, I have to take a good look at it. My brother is a god, enough for me to brag about it for the rest of my life." Fatty Straight music.

"Then you're about to ascend, why are you running around with us?" Wu Xie teased, "If you die, it's not a loss!"

Gu Ran said: "I'll have time to tell you guys after I go out, so let's not talk about this for now."

Wu Xie nodded, now is not the time to tell stories.He found that the epitaphs of these tomb owners contained a lot of information, so he decided to take a closer look.

After entering several rooms, they suddenly found that the door of one room was open.

This room is different, several times larger than the one next to it, and the coffin inside has also been opened.

"What's the situation?" The fat man looked, "Brother, have they been here?"

Gu Ran walked in and looked around. The hinge of the door was very old, and there were no clear and obvious footprints on the ground. This door should have been opened for a long time: "It's not dumb Zhang, it's someone who came before us, some years ago gone."

Wu Xie and Fatty analyzed that it might be Chen Wenjin's original archaeological team.

Wu Xie went to look at the corpse and the epitaph as usual, but was stunned when he saw the name on the wall, which said Zhang Qiling.

"This is my brother's coffin." The fat man said, "It turns out that my brother is a big rice dumpling!"

Gu Ran shone the flashlight on it: "Zhang Qiling is not a person's name, but a position. Look at what is written here. He was chosen as Zhang Qiling. As far as I know, every head of the Zhang family is named Zhang Qiling."

After answering their doubts, the three of them went to look at the coffin again. There were obvious indentations on the position of the funeral object, but there was nothing on it. Someone should have taken it after opening the coffin.

The strange thing is that there are a lot of priceless beeswax agate next to it. These things don't take up much space, but the tomb robbers didn't take the sheep by hand.

This was left to the fat man, after he took the beeswax agate, he looked at the three positions that were open, two of which were rings, the big one was the size of a plate, and the small one was the size of an ashtray.

Gu Ran looked more carefully, and besides the obvious three vacancies, he also saw a not very deep circular mark, the shape and size of which were very familiar.

Gu Ranfu murmured to himself: "It's a double ring ring, Zhang Qishan."

"Your eyes are microscopes, so you can see all of this." The fat man was amazed, then pointed to the two open spaces and asked, "Do you know what these two are?"

Gu Ran made a gesture with his hand, pondered for a moment and said, "A kind of ancient jade, which can affect the transformation of corpses." If he only saw one, he still couldn't think of it, but the size of these two spaces was really the same as the one he had before. Seen in ancient books are too similar.

Back then, when I was still fighting, I saw a record by chance. Gu Ran hadn't encountered it in all these years. He only thought it was something that existed in legends, but he didn't expect to see it in the Zhang family.

Everything has been sorted out, these two things are probably one of the contents that the leader of the organization is looking for, first let the corpse change, and then restrain the corpse, so as to achieve the effect of longevity.

"You are not a half-fairy, you are God, why do you know everything!" The fat man pointed to the third vacant seat, "Then God will tell you, what is this?"

Gu Ran sized it up and said, "The black gold ancient knife, the one that the dumb Zhang lost."

The black gold ancient knife is not surprising. The workmanship of that thing is quite exquisite, and it is impossible to mass-produce it. It is difficult to obtain such a large volume and high density black gold material.This knife may have been passed down from generation to generation by Zhang Qiling in the past dynasties.

Oddly enough, double-ring rings.

The big one is kept at home, and the small one is always worn by Zhang Qishan. Gu Ran sees it often, and will never forget it.

He originally thought that this was just obtained by Zhang Qishan in a certain fight, and he didn't care. Now that he saw this thing in the ancient building of the Zhang family, he felt that something was wrong.

Zhang Qishan had entered the Zhang family's ancient building a long time ago, so why did he take people to Siguniang Mountain?It can only be explained that Zhang Qishan's drunkard's intention was not to drink, and the investigation into how to enter the Zhang family's ancient building was just a cover to deceive the organization. The real reason was to obtain the things left by the Zhang family's thousands of years of history and investigate the Wang family.

The actions of Wu Sansheng and Wu Xie are due to the silk script unearthed from the ancient building of the Zhang family?

Gu Ran sighed inwardly, Zhang Qishan was here to restrain him, every time he found something related to Zhang Qishan, he reminded Gu Ran repeatedly: You blamed him wrongly back then.

Putting aside the guilt in my heart, there is one more thing that is quite strange.

The traces of the double-ring ring are obviously different from the other three's depressions, so faint that Fatty can hardly see it.Apparently, when Zhang Qishan came, he didn't take the other three things with him, except the double ring ring.

What is the special purpose of the double ring?

Gu Ran couldn't figure it out.

"Look at this," cried the fat man.

The family tree engraved on the inner side of the coffin lid shows the real name of the owner of the coffin: Zhang Ruishan.

In his family genealogy records, there are two grandsons, one of which is Zhang Qishan.

Gu Ran bowed towards Zhang Ruishan's corpse.

Seeing Gu Ran's serious expression, the fat man deliberately eased the atmosphere, so he jokingly said, "Aren't you familiar with Master Zhang, why are you bowing to his grandfather, you are not married to the Zhang family, are you?"

Gu Ran slapped him across the face: "Don't talk nonsense, I feel ashamed of Zhang Qishan."

The fat man looked big, but in fact he was very good at observing words and expressions, so he didn't ask any further questions when he saw Gu Ran like this.

According to the epitaph, unlike other people, Zhang Ruishan died of a loss of soul.

"What is Soul Loss?" the fat man asked.

Wu Xie took a breath: "It's just amnesia."

Seeing Wu Xie's confused expression, Gu Ran immediately knew that he was thinking about something unreliable, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Ruishan is not a dumb Zhang, but his predecessor Zhang Qiling. Soul loss is a problem that Zhang Qiling will have. The people chosen as Zhang Qiling are the ones with the purest bloodlines, their spirits have some strange connections with the heavens, and they will be granted by heaven, which is why the Zhang family will affect the course of history."

"According to what you're saying, the little brother lost his memory because of this god-given?" the fat man asked.

Gu Ran nodded: "It can be said that I don't know exactly what happened. The consciousness exists in his brain. Lost soul disease is very terrible. Think about it, if we didn't bring him out in the West Queen Mother Palace back then. , what will happen?"

Maybe Zhang Qiling will really die.

Gu Ran knew that Zhang Qiling had more than one episode of loss of soul, sometimes when he met him, and sometimes when Zhang Qiling was alone.Dumb Zhang is actually a person with a very strong mentality, so he can save his life after the onset of loss of soul, but there is no guarantee that he can survive every time.

Thinking about it this way, it’s actually very sad—God wants you to do things, but God is also taking your life.

Gu Ran looked at the time and said, "We've stayed on this floor long enough, let's look up, it's important to find my brother, and the epitaphs of other people are all similar."

The fat man also agrees that the epitaph of the previous Zhang Qiling should contain the most information, and the other coffins of the Zhang family should be similar to the previous coffins.

The three went out and continued to find their way up.

This floor is very strange. They searched for a long time and couldn't find the mechanism leading to the upper floor, let alone the mechanism, and they didn't even see the pillar with the unicorn head carved on it.

Following in the footsteps of Zhang Qiling and the others, they stopped in front of a wall.

Gu Ran knocked, and the sound from the sound indicated that the wall was solid, and there was no hall behind the wall, so it could only be around here.

The footsteps here are very messy, there is no obvious direction, and it is impossible to tell where the agency is.

The three of them groped for a long time, but they couldn't find the mechanism leading to the upper floor.

This place is covered by strong alkali powder, and the three of them groped here for a long time and inevitably inhaled it. Seeing that the fat man's cough was getting worse, Gu Ran was quick to think, and said, "Let's go back to the room. There is no strong alkali powder over there. Break the ceiling up."

As soon as he entered a room, Gu Ran stepped on the coffin and jumped up, thrusting the dagger into the ceiling.Fortunately, the Zhang family's ancient buildings are all made of wood, so Gu Ran's dagger can pierce through them.

Seeing that the ceiling wasn't very thick, Gu Ran said, "Fatty, lend me your shoulder, and I'll go up and break the ceiling."

The fat man nodded, and stood below to let Gu Ran step on his shoulders.

Gu Ran stabbed the ceiling a few times with the dagger, and then punched upwards, just piercing through a space that could accommodate people climbing up.

Gu Ran's nose was sharp, and he smelled a rotten smell.

"It's not right up there, I'll go and have a look first." Gu Ran stepped on the fat man's shoulders and climbed up, and was stunned for a while. The people they searched for a long time were all in this space.

This is a small mezzanine, only two or three meters high. Judging from the surrounding furnishings, it should be the Zhang family's collection room, so it can avoid the corrosion of strong alkali gas.

Thanks to Zhang Qiling for being able to find this place in such an emergency.

Gu Ran scanned around with a flashlight, some of them were already dead, Huo Xiangu's eyeballs were clouded, and his facial expression was very ferocious, it could be seen that the death was not peaceful.

Most of the dead around him looked like this.

It is conceivable that strong alkali corrodes internal organs, and people are quite painful when they are dying.

Most of the people still had a breath, so Gu Ran stepped forward to check the pulse of a few people, it was so weak that they couldn't even move once, and they couldn't get out of Zhangjialou at all.

Finally, Gu Ran noticed a pile of clothes in the corner.

It was Zhang Qiling's clothes, he recognized it, it was what Zhang Qiling was wearing when he led the team in.

Although Gu Ran has come all the way and believes in his own judgment, Zhang Qiling is still alive.
