Dream of Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 197 The largest tomb robbery in history

"She is your grandma, do you know that she is in a hurry to do something and has no time?" Aning asked.

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head: "I have investigated it, and although I have some clues, I still don't quite understand it."

"Don't you think you have heard this sentence somewhere?" Mengli said suddenly.

"Yes!" After her reminder, Wu Xie suddenly remembered, "When the meteorite came out, my little brother kept saying that there was no time."

"Could this refer to the same thing? Grandma Huo knows the little brother, so I think, no matter which one is solved, we can achieve our goal. Xiuxiu, tell me what you found?" Mengli said , guiding their thinking.

In short, now that their direction has been revealed, the next thing to check is that there is no time for something.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiuxiu's method was not to search down, but to use a very risky method, which made Wu Xie have to admit that the little girl in front of her, who was less than 20 years old, was so brave and resourceful.It took her several months to imitate her grandma's handwriting and write a reply to all the addresses on those old letters.

The letter roughly reads:

[Everyone,

I dreamed about that incident again recently. For many years, this nightmare has been lingering. I don’t know if my generation is safe or not. In my old age, I stepped into the coffin with half a foot. I hope I can see you again. There is one more thing I didn’t say back then Now that I think about it, it may be the key. I hope I can talk about it face to face, just as an old friend. 】

She wanted to use this method to find out the old people who had a relationship with her grandma before, and maybe she could find out something.After waiting for almost five years, she felt that the hope of this method was very slim, but she was still unwilling to give up.

Finally, I waited for that reply.

Just one line:

[Don't repeat the old things. 】

She followed the address of this letter, it was sent from a glass factory in Beijing, the owner's name was Jin Wantang.

"I investigated him. He and grandma just had a business relationship. Later, he got greedy and tampered with something, and my grandma found out immediately, so I didn't continue with him. Let's work together."

Then Huo Xiuxiu found Jin Wantang, but he was an old fox, he knew the power of the Huo family, he didn't know the purpose of Huo Xiuxiu's visit, he didn't know whether he was here to settle accounts or to spy, so he refused to say anything.But Huo Xiuxiu was very patient, and went to his shop almost every day, just in case he didn't annoy Jin Wantang to death.

Later, I don't know if it was a dramatic development, that Jin Wantang's business suffered a setback, and almost went bankrupt. Fortunately, Huo Xiuxiu, as the Huo family, came forward to help him settle it, and only then did he keep his property.

Jin Wantang is not an ungrateful person, after a long time of hesitation, he told Huo Xiuxiu everything on the phone one night.

It turned out that the sale that he had used his brains back then was not an ordinary transaction, it could be said to be the largest tomb robbery in the history of Chinese tomb robbery.

After that event, the Huo family, and even several other parties, were all severely injured. The memories of that transaction brought to these people are really terrible.

"Third uncle also said that the old nine sects used to be the biggest tomb robbery in history." Wu Xie said.

But Mengli asked: "That event, is it related to the ancient building of the Zhang family?"

Huo Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in surprise: "You know? That's right, they did go to Banai, and even he didn't know if it was the ancient building of the Zhang family."

Because of her being so stunned, Mengli suddenly remembered the plot—Master Hua'er! !

According to the development of the plot, Master Hua'er will transform into Xiuxiu, but this is not the old house, the plot has changed, how will it develop next?Forget it, don't think about it, as long as I don't mess up my house or smash things.

Mengli took a deep breath, stood up and smiled at Xiuxiu: "I'm going to wash some fruits."

Huo Xiuxiu was taken aback, the plan was discovered!This girl didn't stop her, so...continue?

"Why is it the largest in history? Could it be that they stole mountains of gold and silver, so it needs to be on such a large scale?" Fatty said strangely.

Huo Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "That's no longer a fight in your conception. That transaction has gone beyond the so-called concept of tomb robbery."

"What kind of concept?" Aning asked.

Just as Huo Xiuxiu was about to speak, the younger brother spoke aside: "The purpose of their robbing the tomb is not for money, but for another person who is still alive."

"You also know about this?" Huo Xiuxiu looked at her brother suspiciously, and also looked at them very suspiciously, feeling that it was something they all knew, why did they ask her.

The little brother shook his head and fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Then how do you know they're not out for money?" Huo Xiuxiu asked.

The little brother replied indifferently: "The inevitability of history."

Meng Li came over with a plate of fruit, put the fruit on the coffee table, sat next to the little brother, took an apple and put it in the little brother's hand, and gave it a smile.

Mengli: I don't know why there is a feeling of an old mother comforting her son?Hey - don't think too much, don't think too much!

No matter what they do, Wu Xie's analysis still needs to continue. He said: "The old Nine Sects have developed very strong back then. The so-called extremes will reverse. When the money reaches a certain amount, it doesn't make any sense to increase it. If that It is the largest tomb robbery in history, and there are still many things more valuable than money in the world."

Huo Xiuxiu curled her lips and continued talking.

Jin Wantang started his business from scratch, and his family business grew bigger and bigger. The big deal came at the happiest time in his life.At that time, the Huo family had already had a cooperative relationship with him for a period of time, and he didn't expect anything strange, so he agreed to the deal.

He told Huo Xiuxiu that he estimated that the number of people involved in the whole transaction at that time was more than [-] people, plus those who were involved but did not actually go to the ground, such as those who collected information and bought equipment, it was estimated to be thousands.

No wonder this can be called the largest tomb robbery in history, the scale of which can be imagined.

However, Jin Wantang feels that these are not enough to highlight the particularity of this transaction. The reason why he feels special is because the leader of this transaction is very unusual. This is not a unique transaction. There are many people involved. It is said that There are nine people in total.

"This is the largest tomb robbery activity in history initiated by the Old Nine Gates. What is the content of that activity? My grandfather, and your grandma, the people of the Old Nine Gates did not record it at all, and they will not let future generations know. "Wu Xie fell into deep thought. His grandfather didn't record any such things in his notes, and the third uncle wanted to investigate this matter, but was scolded by his grandfather.

It seemed that he didn't want anyone to know about this matter, even he himself didn't want to recall it.

Could it be that this matter is the core of the whole matter?

Jin Wantang is not a material for work. He has only half his life left in the mountains, so he can only stay in the campsite on the ground. Others start searching everywhere and bring things back every now and then. Ask him to identify and classify silk scripts and bamboo slips.

So he didn't know what the background of the ancient tomb was, and he didn't dare to ask. He could only guess something from the things he identified.

First of all, he felt that there was not only one ancient tomb here, because the batches of silk scripts and bamboo slips that he had identified had a great degree of preservation, and the contents inside were all-encompassing, including letters, ancient books, and silk inscriptions.

So he felt that there must be a huge group of ancient tombs here, and they were excavating this large area of ​​ancient tombs.Because he was the only one in the whole team to classify and identify, all the things shown to him were basically documents and ancient books. It seemed that their ultimate goal might be the ancient books in this ancient tomb group.

In addition, the number of teams is often reduced. He heard from others that people often have accidents while working. It seems that there is some risk factor in excavation.

It takes a lot of time to identify the contents of these ancient books. Originally, he thought it would be over in a few months, but he didn't expect it to last for three full years.In the past three years, he has been facing these ancient silk books every day, and his heart has almost collapsed.

One day after three years, no new ancient books were delivered, and he was finally able to go outside to soak up the fresh air and look at the scenery outside, and suddenly he had another understanding of life in his heart.

He looked at the surrounding mountains and felt that there could be no ancient tombs here, so his previous speculation was not valid.Out of curiosity, one day he secretly followed a group of people into the mountain from a distance. After climbing a mountainside, the mountain suddenly turned into a large stretch of bare rock cliffs. There are some traces of ropes around the caves, and those ancient books are likely to be found by these people climbing these cliffs and finding them from the holes.

It's just that in the back, people always have selfishness. Seeing so many ancient books and silk books with historical value, he felt that if he took away one or two of them, no one would find out that what he stole was precisely their most important. Pay attention to the Lu Huang Silk Book of the Warring States Period that I want to unlock the most.

That day, he finished the final finishing work, and was about to go back to the tent to hide the silk book in his sleeve, when suddenly someone came to tell him that he was arranged to go out of the mountain that night, and he could go back to Beijing.

It was of course the best thing to be able to go down the mountain and go home, but unexpectedly, what was waiting for him there was a thorough body search.

He hid a copy in the sole of his shoe before, but the one in the sleeve was found without any suspense, but he changed the shoes in advance, so he was not found.After that, he was sent to the main camp of the Old Nine Gates.

Right there, he met the tenth person outside the old nine gates, whom he had never seen before.He heard others call him: the leader.

The leader was less than 30 years old and was discussing something with another person. What impressed Jin Wantang the most was that the person's fingers were very unusual.

However, he didn't have the heart to observe carefully at that time, he was trembling with nervousness, and he was still quibbling that he was the first offender, and he wanted to take it back and study it himself because of curiosity.

The leader looked into his eyes, walked over, and pressed his two strange fingers on the Wei acupoint of his head, and suddenly exerted force, he almost heard the sound of his skull about to burst, and the pain made his five sense organs They were all twisted together, and the young man was expressionless, and his fingers continued to exert force.

Then, the leader began to ask him questions. Jin Wantang still wanted to lie, but found that he could not think at all under the severe pain. The lie was full of loopholes. offered it.

Later, because Mrs. Huo interceded with him, he was able to go down the mountain safely.

Later, something major happened on the mountain, Lao Jiumen suffered heavy casualties, and his vitality was seriously injured.

After Huo Xiuxiu finished speaking, he said: "The leader who forced him to confess, who do you think he is?" Then he looked at the little brother with deep meaning, "Does this give you any hints?"

Wu Xie and the others looked at the little brother consciously or unconsciously.

Hearing her describe the leader like this, he looked like a little brother, and at that time, the little brother was very likely to appear there.

"It's unbelievable to be the leader of the old nine sects, and he's still a junior. Even Master Zhang Dafo himself needs a big reason to command this group of people. It's very special." The fat man said after pondering for a while.

"Maybe this leader doesn't need to have any prominent status, but his status at the time and the interests of the party represented by his status." Wu Xie said.

"Okay, let's go back to the video tape. The Old Nine Gates where Mrs. Huo was located participated in a failed but large-scale inversion event. Then, decades later, her daughter and the descendants of the Old Nine Gates also participated. A very mysterious archaeological activity, and then his daughter disappeared. Passed down from generation to generation, it is not accidental. Then she received a video tape with her daughter's image in it, then the focus of this video tape is not on the content, but on The video tape itself?" The fat man analyzed.

"I think it's possible, because I found the address and key in the video tape. Maybe there is something important in the video tape I sent to your grandma." Wu Xie said.

"Little girl, why don't you take the video tape from your grandma and let us watch it?" the fat man urged.

This is my seventh consecutive update
