Chapter 223: The Tomb of the Gods (2)

Zhao Tan's repeated reading of the first chapter of "Water Margin" is not an accidental event, but shows that this chapter has a special meaning for him.

"Captain Hong excavated the stone stele...... The Oda clan excavates the tomb of the Oda onino...... Zhao Tan was looking for clues related to the Dunhuang fragments...... Oda ghost slave volunteered to send Tang envoys west to Chang'an to seek scriptures...... Zhao Tan's extreme study of the first chapter of "Water Margin" ...... "I arranged all these clues together and then put them back together.

I know that the general must have searched Zhao Tan's mobile phone as well.

When we captured him, we had checked everything in his pocket. For modern people, the amount of information that mobile phones can carry is extremely large, and it is the most noteworthy thing.

"There's a stone monument there...... Before I found the stele, there must have been a lot of dead and wounded people, and I felt that when I faced the stele, everyone was full of anger...... There are words on the stele, and those words are very important and make your mood very delicate. On the contrary, other people have no sense of these words, so I suspect that these words are a kind of ...... that only you can understand but others know very little Or, most people can read it, but it only means something special to you. I guess those are traditional Chinese characters in ancient China, or seal characters......" the general said as he quickly scribbled on the paper.

The stone tablet excavated by Hong Taiwei is written "Book of Heaven", which is a unique language family, which is more special than pictographs, oracle bone inscriptions, and tadpole inscriptions, and cannot be dismantled and identified by writing rules. Therefore, the "Book of Heaven" can only be "divinely granted", which can be understood but not spoken.

I put together what I thought of and combined with what the great general perceived and depicted, and blurted out: "It is an ancient Chinese stone tablet engraved with the 'Book of Heaven', and its Chinese characters are read, and no one else knows a word." ”

"Pap, papa, papa, pap......" Zhao Tan applauded slowly.

Under the general's pen, a stone tablet gradually emerged, and the text on the front was intricate and illegible.

Next to the stele, eleven more people surrounded.

"In addition to you, the faces of the other ten people have appeared in Japanese newspapers countless times, and most of the people can call them by name. Especially the royal family bigwigs among them are known all over the world. In their capacity, their knowledge far exceeds that of ordinary professors of linguistics and history, and when they see such a Chinese stone tablet, they must think that the tomb of Oda Onitunu hides a great secret that no one knows. The general said.

"Can you recognize everyone?" This time, even Zhao Tan was a little moved.

"I've tried to identify them, they're all too famous, so, I can." The general replied.

"What kind of metaphysical art are you?" Zhao Tan was surprised.

The general shook his head and put down his pencil, as if he was not ready to answer.

"You feel something, but it's not complete. Do you know? Although there is a stone tablet there, it is not standing vertically, but lying flat on an offering platform. To see the text on the back, you have to turn it over. According to the density estimation of granite, the kind of stone tablet that is five feet long, two feet wide, and one foot thick weighs a thousand catties, and it takes four or five strong men to turn it over. Zhao Tan breathed a sigh of relief and began to correct the mistakes in the general's painting.

The general nodded: "Okay, I can only feel the general appearance of the tomb, and I have exhausted my mental strength when I draw here." ”

She picked up the piece of paper, looked at it carefully, tore it in half with a thud, and then slowly shredded it and threw it in the trash.

If ordinary people are talking, at this time, there should be uncontrollable listeners shouting "stop selling off" and the like. On the contrary, the three of us sat here, and Zhao Tan did not tell all the details of the excavation operation, and the general and I would not ask, but just sat quietly.

I believe that Zhao Tan will always say the details that should be said. If we ask ten more times what shouldn't be said, he will keep it secret.

Time seemed to have become an inconsequential thing, six or seven hours had passed since Lao Sheng's crash, and at this moment the scene of the car accident on the highway should have been cleared, leaving no trace.

The only people who pay attention to this matter may be the only ones left to be Zha Ye and Aunt Cha.

On the whole, Lao Sheng is a very pitiful and ridiculous person.

When he began to believe in the existence of the "dragon species", he was doomed to today's end. was first used by Zhao Tan many times, kneeling at the feet of others, praying for those ethereal things, and then being used by Cha Ye in an attempt to squeeze a huge sum of money from Zhao Tan - from beginning to end, he was a trickster, but he always wanted to be the protagonist in the center of the stage, and he never forgot the so-called "dragon species" until he died.

This tragedy, which will not be extinct for generations, is determined by human nature, like a moth to a fire.

Soon, Ye Cha and Aunt Cha will also embark on the same road of no return, vainly trying to encroach on everything that Zhao Tan has, but they don't want to think about how many catties and taels they have.

Looking back on my past dealings with the Yellow Flower Society, it seems that Zhao Tan has become the only survivor on the side of Luopan Village.

This is not a fluke, but the result of the precise calculations of a super-wise man. Even if the same gang destruction event is repeated ten or a hundred times, he will still be the one who survives, the "one" of one in a million.

The destruction of the "Gu Refiner's Spear" is equivalent to another catastrophe in Mogao Grottoes. But how many people are aware of this?

The hero is nameless, and I am the unsung hero who saved the Mogao Grottoes this time.

Suddenly, I unconsciously smiled bitterly, because I thought that the Mogao Grottoes were so great, like a dazzling pearl hanging in western China, that the conspiracy against them must be like the tide of Qiantang, wave after wave.

The reason why it is safe and sound is because there have been countless unsung heroes like me in the past who have prevented all the devastating disasters for it.

Since the hero has no name, then in the history of Dunhuang, there will be no record, everything in the past is gone with the wind, at most it is living in the rumors of a generation of Jianghu people. In the next generation, no one will remember.

By extension, there are countless unsung heroes of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and they have all been buried in the dust of history.

Before I knew it, a pessimism gradually enveloped me, and even the sunlight outside became much dimmer.

"This time, I didn't do anything, you must have thought of something yourself." Zhao Tan spoke.

I nodded deeply: "Yes, it's my own emotional problems." ”

"Okay, I'm hungry, can I order takeout?" The general stood up.

The three of us have become a wonderful combination, wary of each other, but outwardly unwavering, and able to pretend to live under the same roof without any guilt.

The general turned on his phone and ordered lobster pizza, shrimp pasta and tuna salad at an online restaurant.

I opened the cupboard, took out three boxes of instant noodles, and placed them on the counter.

"I think you must be used to eating instant noodles?" The general asked.

I nodded: "Yes, I've been used to it since I was a child." In fact, for many people, having instant noodles to eat is already a very ideal life. ”

At the orphanage, the meals in the restaurant were very frugal, because the Hong Kong Island government did not have a lot of money, and the philanthropists' donations were like a spring drizzle. So, Moncho and I often sneak out at night to pick up drink bottles, beer cans, and old magazines to sell to scrap collectors. After saving a little money, I bought a large bag of instant noodles of various flavors, hid them in my closet, and took them out to eat in the dead of night.

A few times, when the thermos ran out of water, we didn't dare to go out to find boiling water, so we took out the dough and broke it, sprinkled it with seasonings, and ate it little by little.

The past days were too hard, so any time I could eat instant noodles, I felt that life was not so hopeless.

Now, with my and Meng Qiao's net worth, let alone eating instant noodles, even if we buy the world's top instant noodle brand, it is not an empty word.

The only difference is that I still like to eat instant noodles, while Meng Qiao is tired of instant noodles and will quickly switch to the channel when he even sees instant noodles commercials on TV.

"I'm sorry, I just said something casually, I didn't want to mess with you." The general said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's not a bad thing to suffer a little when you were a child, it can make you grow faster." I shook my head.

"Let's talk about the Oda ghost slave, Zhao Tan is going around in circles, and he never talks about the stone tablet, but I know that the Oda ghost slave must have a lot of special connections with the Dunhuang Heavenly Machine. We have all seen Zhao Tan's mobile phone, and we have all paid attention to the fact that he has opened the "Water Margin" e-book many times. Mr. Long, I don't know much about those ancient Chinese books, I only understand the story line, and I know that the book is about the big and small battles of the rebel army and the revolution, and in the end everyone was killed by the emperor. Tell me, what does this mean? The general asked.

I corrected with a smile: "It's not the rebel army that makes a revolution, but the story of a group of Jianghu people occupying the mountain as kings." ”

Shuibo Liangshan's 100 singles and eight generals are pursuing the four words "doing the right thing for heaven", which has nothing to do with "revolution and saving the poor".

Strictly speaking, they cannot be considered an insurrectionary army, but a mountain king.

Compared with the other three people of the "Four Great Kou" during the Northern Song and Song dynasties, the people of Shuibo Liangshan did not trespass, neither made dragon robes and dragon chairs, nor did they play the national name and the emperor name, and openly argued with the Bianjing court.

Fang La, Tian Hu, Wang Qing and other "three great Kou" were all emperors and fought against Bianjing.

This difference is probably the main reason why Liangshan was "recruited" and the other three major Kou were "exterminated".

Since he has "claimed the emperor", he has committed a serious crime of rebellion, and he is dissatisfied with the beheading and extermination of the nine clans, how can he vent the emperor's anger?

"In the first chapter of "Water Margin", Taiwei Hong dug up the demon suppression stele and let go of one hundred and eight demon stars, which created the later one hundred and eight generals of Shuibo Liangshan. searched for Zhao Tan's mobile phone before, and every time he opened it, it was this chapter. I whispered.

"The first chapter? Wait a minute, I'll see right away. The general said.

While I was boiling water instant noodles, she leaned on the cooking table and quickly finished reading the first chapter of "Water Margin".

From this incident, it can be seen that she acts like the wind and is very smart. It turned out that as soon as she found that Zhao Tan had the e-book of "Water Margin" in her mobile phone, she immediately downloaded a set of the same version from the Internet and conducted relevant investigations.

"The back of the stele here reads, 'Open when it encounters floods,' and the book explains that the meaning of the four characters seems to be 'Whoever encounters the surname Hong should dig it up'. What if there are other words engraved on it? For example, if your name is engraved with the words 'Open when you meet a dragon', is the magic hole below about to be dug up by a dragon surnamed Long? The general muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"You're lying, too?" I say.

"What?" The general was puzzled.

When the kettle rang, I turned off the gas, poured boiling water into the instant noodle box, sprinkled the seasoning, and covered the lid and simmered.

"I didn't hear what you just said." The general said.

"I said, you lied too." I replied.

As the general picked up the pencil and scribbled on the white paper, for a while, the tip of the pen was aimless, showing that she was secretly thinking about what she was going to draw.

That is to say, on the surface, she slowly perceives what is happening in the "Tomb of the Gods" with her sixth sense, but in fact, she has long been clear, and she is just thinking about whether to draw the truth or not.
