Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Love was a serious matter in those days.

If people spread rumors that you are having an affair, all your future prospects may be ruined.

"Yes, yes, no one is in love."

"Brother Shitou, come and have a bun. The buns in our cafeteria are delicious."

Ai Wuzhuang took out a bun and stuffed it into my hand.

The bun skin is soft and fluffy, and the bottom is translucent due to being soaked in fat. You can smell the strong meat aroma without biting it open.

I took the bun and took a big bite.

The meat filling is slightly chewy.

The aroma of meat mixed with the sweetness of green onions is so fragrant that it makes your eyebrows fall off.

"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"It's delicious, sister, you should eat it too."

I took the lunch box from Ai Wuzhuang and stuffed it into Zhang Nan's hands.

Zhang Nan picked up the bun and took a small bite.

The oil moisturized her lips.

Her cherry lips became more translucent, as if stars were twinkling on them.

As if noticing my gaze, Zhang Nan stamped his feet lightly, turned around and showed me his back.

"Nannan, your brother is so silly and cute."

Ai Wuzhuang was so happy that he almost burst out laughing.

I was a little confused and didn't know what she was laughing at.

Do I look stupid?

Zhang Nan pointed to the flower bed not far away: "Let's go over there."

"It just so happens that your sister Ai comes from a family with a rich academic background, and her knowledge of bronze inscriptions is as good as that of the professor. Please ask her to help recognize that character."

Four generations of Ai Wuzhuang's ancestors were pawnshop owners.

He has a deep family background in antique identification.

It was because of my family's inherited talent that I chose to study archaeology.

My eyes lit up.

Just when I was worrying about who to learn about antiques from, Ai Wubao suddenly appeared from the sky.

Sister Nan is really my lucky star!

"Sister Ai, I have to learn from you carefully in the future. I must teach you everything I know."

Ai Wubanle could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

Although his face was full of pride, he still pretended to be calm.

He casually waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to Nan Nan's praise. I don't have that much ability."

"Nannan is the most talented woman in our archaeology department."

"He knows astronomy, geography, and the past five thousand years and the future five thousand years."

"Stop being poor."

Zhang Nan grumbled, picked up a branch and started writing on the ground.

He quickly wrote out the three bronze inscriptions.

The length, thickness and shape of each stroke are exactly the same as those engraved on the beads.

If it were me, even if I wrote it down, I wouldn't be able to write it so consistently.

"Ba, what snake?"

"The one in the middle doesn't seem to be a bronze inscription."

"Nannan, you're not testing me on purpose, are you?"

Ai Wuzhuang recognized the two golden characters of Bashe at a glance.

But the text in the middle made her a little confused.

The character in the middle looks very much like bronze inscriptions at first glance.

But if you look closely, it is not bronze inscriptions.

"I didn't test you. These three words are engraved together."

"How could it not be bronze inscriptions? Take a closer look."

Ai Wuzhuang shook his head and said, "There are 3722 characters in bronze inscriptions that can be found."

"I've been memorizing calligraphy from rubbings since I was a kid, and I've never seen this character before."

"There are two possibilities. Either this isn't bronze inscriptions, or it's a type of bronze inscription I've never seen before... Wait a minute."

As if he had discovered a new continent, Ai Wuzhuang erased the word "Bashe".

He stared at the word that no one recognized and read it hard.

"This, this... is impossible!"

Ai Wuzhuang suddenly fell to the ground, his whole body shaking violently.

Fear was about to overflow from his wide-open eyes.

She fell down and didn't even bother to get up.

Stretch your hands behind your back and push your waist and abdomen up.

The whole person was lying on the ground with his back, using his limbs to support his body, like a big spider.

Then she used her hands and feet to crawl up from the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he crawled five or six meters away.

The strange scene shocked both Zhang Nan and me.

We have no idea how much terrifying power that word contains.

It was possible to scare the careless Ai Wuzhuang like this.

"Erase it! Erase that word!"

Ai Wuzhuang tilted his head up to the sky, a trembling sound of fear coming from his throat.

It seemed that the existence of that word made her feel greatly threatened.

I hurried forward and wiped the words off the ground with my foot.

"Okay, okay, the words are gone."

While I was erasing the word, Zhang Nan ran over to help Ai Wuwu up.

"Are you OK?"

Zhang Nan asked as he wiped the sweat off Ai Wuzhuang's face.

In less than half a minute, she was drenched in sweat.

The sweat on his face flowed down as if he had been splashed with water.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Ai Wuwu's chest heaved violently.

After panting for a long time, he finally recovered.

"Where did you see that word?"

"This……"

We looked at each other.

Zhang Nan said, "Just tell me what that word is about. Why did it scare you like that?"

"That's not a word."

"No, it should be said that it is not a word for living people!"

"Are there words for the dead?" I asked curiously.

Ai Wuzhuang nodded repeatedly.

She wanted to say something, but was afraid and hugged Zhang Nan's arms with both hands.

It seems like if you say something, something bad will happen.

"You are usually so brave, why are you so cowardly now?" Zhang Nan was a little angry at his lack of fighting spirit.

Ai Wuzhuang was anxious: "I didn't say it was for your own good!"

"No matter where you see it, don't write it anywhere else!"

After that she kept silent.

No matter how we asked, he just didn't say anything.

"Ai Wuzhuang, please tell us the reason, otherwise curiosity will kill the cat."

"You haven't explained yourself clearly. I might take a risk out of curiosity."

Ai Wuzhuang was a little mad: "You, you, you...you're worrying me to death!"

"That seems to be hydrology!"

"Hydrology?"

Zhang Nan and I said in unison

Neither of us understood what hydrology meant.

Could it be the hydrology at the hydrological observatory?

"Oh!" Ai Wuzhuang sighed heavily.

"It's not the hydrology you think."

"It's the writing system of the Shui people, a minority ethnic group in the southwest. It's also known as Tanwen."

"It is said that it has the ability to communicate with ghosts, and the text is written for ghosts to read."

"My fourth uncle once received a book that recorded water writing, and out of curiosity he went to visit the place where the water tribe was located."

“Hydrology is divided into white water and black water.”

"Baishui is used for ordinary funerals, and is mostly used to pray for the deceased to rest in peace."

"And Black Water..."

Ai Wuzhuang stopped again.

She shivered violently, and her face turned pale.

His expression seemed to be recalling a horrific incident.

"Black, black water, is the true language for communicating with evil spirits."

"Even among the Water Tribe, only a very few can learn Black Water Script."

"Those who learn the Black Water Scripture are called Ghost Masters."

"It has the ability to release ghosts and can control evil ghosts to hurt people. The black water text it writes will also have ghost power! Mortals who see it will be haunted by evil ghosts!"

"My fourth uncle didn't believe in evil and pestered the ghost master to learn Black Water Scripture. But the result... wuwuwu."

Ai Wuzhuang choked and sobbed.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and she couldn't be stopped.

She continued her story only after she was tired of crying.

"When he came back, his whole body was covered in abscesses and rot, not a single piece of skin was intact, and worms kept coming out of his flesh."

"He said he got his comeuppance for peeking at the Black Water Writings. He was haunted and tortured by an evil spirit the entire way, and he managed to get back by holding on for dear life."

"My fourth uncle took out the transcribed Black Water Text and gave it to my father, and then he died."

"He, after he died, before he could even be buried, his entire body melted like a heated candle!"

"The whole person turned into a pool of water, leaving only a skeleton."

"I still remember it to this day. The skeleton was dark blue! It wasn't normal white bones at all."

"And there are countless holes on the skeleton, as if they were gnawed by insects. It breaks into pieces at the slightest touch!"

"I really don't know how much pain Fourth Uncle went through, and how he managed to come back despite the pain!"
