Volume 2 The Stone Man of the Western Regions The Stone Man of the Western Regions Chapter 42: The Fat Man's Experience

After the fat man finished narrating, I looked up at the "ghost cloud" that was still raining overhead, and the air around me had become a little stuffy because of the movement of this cloud, but now it had a more mysterious taste.

The scorpion behaved calmly, and when the fat man finished speaking, the scorpion asked the fat man to tell him about his previous experience.

The stuffiness of the air made the fat man covered in sweat in addition to rain, and he simply stopped wearing the clothes that had been twisted by him and were slightly deformed, and took them off directly, revealing all his tendons. Then I sat down in the water, and when I saw his appearance, I said to myself, just sit down, sooner or later you will have hemorrhoids!

The scorpion, like me, was half-crouching opposite the fat man, and Xiao Qian was always in a state of fugue, standing beside me, because she was already short, so it was not much higher than my half-squatting height.

The fat man was not in a hurry to answer the scorpion's question, and he didn't know where he took out a cigarette, but it wasn't wet yet, and then patted the "warrior" who was on duty for us, and the brother immediately understood that he owed a debt, and blocked the falling rain for the fat man.

This is the first time I have seen a fat man smoke, and I have seen a few cigarette butts on the crack before going down to the Zhao Tuo cemetery. After we came out of the dungeon, on the train, I said that all the cigarettes in my backpack were given to the fat man, and the fat man said Xiao Su, don't say that I am ready to quit smoking and don't want to smoke, even if I don't quit smoking, I won't smoke this pack of broken cigarettes in the Northeast that you gave me.

With the tacit cooperation with the brother, the fat man lit the cigarette and took a puff in a state of absorbing powder. Soon, the rest was wet with rain and there was no second sip!

Seeing this, the fat man reluctantly threw half a cigarette at my feet, and the words on the root of the cigarette butt were reflected in my eyes, "Huangguoshu".

After smoking the cigarette, the fat man closed his eyes in enjoyment, passed the smoke in his mouth through a cycle of his body, spit out a small puff of the thin layer of smoke that no longer tasted, and then began to tell us a story about his experience.

The fat man was seventeen years old that year, and he was no longer a fledgling.

From the age of thirteen to the age of seventeen, in the four years, he has followed Master Liu through hundreds of tombs, large and small.

With Master Liu's orthodox title of "Touching Gold Captain", the fat man also got the name of a successor to Touching Gold on the road.

There are a few men of that age who can stand the pursuit, and the fat man's personality itself is flamboyant, so that time was when he was most proud.

When following Master Liu, the fat man always wants to show himself, but what kind of character Master Liu is, everything will be in front of the fat man. This made the fat man feel that it was not challenging, so he came up with the idea of wanting to separate from Master Liu.

The fat man has always been very jealous of Master Liu's strictness, but in fact, most of them are respectful of Master Liu. What he didn't expect was that when he and Master Liu proposed this idea, Master Liu agreed to him without hesitation.

In fact, during that time, their master and apprentice were valued by many large exploration companies, and they threw olive branches to them. Some companies even sent a lot of money to their homes, promising more generous rewards after the deed was completed.

However, the "Touching Gold School Captain" has been inherited since ancient times, and he likes to work alone, and no more than four heirs of touching gold will go to the tomb at the same time. Ancestral precepts: If there are more than four people who enter the cave together, the gods of the eight directions will not be able to protect them, and they are afraid that they will be in danger.

According to legend, during the Song Dynasty, the development of the gold vein reached its heyday, and the descendants of the gold were all over the world. Due to the large number of people, and the number of strong people in the door. Therefore, the truth of this ancestral precept has been doubted. When fighting against a certain imperial tomb, more than four people led the team down.

As a result, the ancestral precept was fulfilled, except for the four gold touchers who all died in the tomb, but the rest of the men retreated safely. After going out, only one sentence came out, "The ancestral precepts cannot be violated", which was the last words left by the leader who touched the gold.

With this legend, in every subsequent dynasty, all the descendants of the gold touched the gold strictly abided by this ancestral precept. Until Master Liu's generation, although the pulse of touching gold is weak, all these inheritances have been completely preserved, and even many lost crafts have been restored by Master Liu. As the saying goes, there must be a gain and a loss, although the gold vein is no longer the glory of the past, but this last generation of heirs is a rare genius who has touched the gold vein for thousands of years.

With such a master supporting himself, the fat man's waist pole naturally hardened. Since he can remember, he has been reciting mantras with Master Liu, and after several years of practice, the fat man has become a character who can take charge of himself.

I think this is probably the reason why Master Liu can rest assured that the fat man will work alone. Of course, there are many meanings in this reason. For example, the ancestral training of touching the golden lineage, such as inviting too many companies to them, and the biggest reason why Master Liu agrees should be that he wants the fat man to get rid of his shadow and be able to really practice it by himself.

After getting Master Liu's promise, the fat man became very excited. I feel that I can finally show my skills, and at the same time, I have to complete a beautiful task to prove that I can go to the grave alone in front of Master Liu.

Among the many olive branches, the fat man picked a contract handed over by a multinational company called "Europa".

When the scorpion and I heard these three words, we both looked incredulous. Unexpectedly, more than ten years ago, the fat man had already come into contact with this mysterious multinational company. No wonder when the fat man heard Yiyi say that Master Liu was invited by the "Europa" company to disappear, his expression became very strange, I thought that the fat man's expression was because of Master Liu's disappearance and worried expression, now that I think about it, this fat man's past experience has many mysteries that I don't know.

We didn't interrupt the fat man's narration, the clothes he took off had become a towel to wipe the water, and he kept wiping the rain and sweat from his face with his clothes while he spoke.

The fat people chose this company because they paid the most generous of all the companies that wanted to work with them. Moreover, the guys and equipment they provide to the fat man are all state-of-the-art. This is not the most important reason to impress the fat man, the most attractive thing is the words of the lawyer who conveyed the terms and conditions for this company: "This operation is extremely dangerous, the situation in the tomb is very complicated, there may be many supernatural phenomena, of course, after the fact, the reward will be quite objective, you can think carefully before making a decision!" ”

If their company's lawyer hadn't said that, the fat man might have compared it to other companies. When he said this, the fat man immediately made up his mind, and it was all!

This was the fat man's first time working alone, and with his age of blood and vigor at that time, coupled with the spirit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, the more complicated the situation in the tomb, the more it suited his taste.

After a simple pack-up, the fat man only took some equipment to pick him up with some "Captain Touching Gold" and got into the car sent by the multinational company to pick him up.

In this way, the fat man embarked on the trip with a team of ten people from the "Europa" company. Their destination was deep in a snow-capped mountain in the Shigatse region, Tibet's second-largest city. On the map, it is located on the border between Nepal and Bhutan, and a large part of it belongs to Tibet.

The task of the fat man is simple, to be the guide of this team and the key person in dealing with emergencies. In the words of the fat man, he is a little like the worship in the Xianxia novel, keeping this line of people thoughtful.

This is the fat man's first time to Tibet, facing such a high altitude, his altitude sickness is not too serious, just a simple breath of oxygen, back to normal. And this ten-person team is also the same as calves, depending on their state, they should have started to prepare for training before this operation.

What makes the fat man more satisfied is that although this team has its own leader, everyone, including the team leader, respects him very much. And he was not despised because of the age of the fat man.

After the group arrived at the local area, they took a brief rest and began to look for a guide. Although there are maps and a lot of advanced equipment, it is difficult for any advanced equipment to compete with this harsh nature in this part of Tibet, and without a guide, I am afraid that they will probably fall into an unknown danger somewhere.

What puzzled the fat man, after finding several local guides one after another, was rejected. None of them knew Tibetan, so they spent a lot of money to hire an interpreter and told everyone the reasons for their refusal.

They said that the place where the fat man and his party were going was the entrance to hell, where evil spirits were guarding, and they could not go!

The fat man was interested when he heard this, and said to them, coincidentally, little grandfather, I was sent by God to go to hell to do things, and my team is a heavenly soldier and a general, and I need to go to the entrance of this hell to change the customs clearance documents.

The locals are relatively simple, where have I seen such a skinny person as a fat man on weekdays, I was dumbfounded at that time, and many people wanted to beat the fat man out of Hulala, saying that he was blasphemous.

Under the adjustment of the leader of the Europa company, the fat man was finally spared a fat beating.

It is located on the border, the living environment is relatively harsh, and many children do not get a good education, and even eat the same food every day.

To say that this multinational company is more powerful, under a call from the team leader, the company directly airlifted over a lot of materials that are difficult to buy locally, saying that they are a charity, not a fat man's mouth. I came here to investigate the environment and change the living conditions here.

In the words of the fat man, this group of unscrupulous profiteers knows how to deceive kind-hearted ordinary people like him. I said in my heart, if you are kind, is there a good person in this world?

With these material bribes, the aborigines here finally changed their attitude towards their group. Still, no one dared to take on the guide's mission.

Although no one dared to pick it up, they also introduced a person to the fat man's group, Uncle Nima.

The fat man said that the name Nima means Sunday in Tibetan, also called day. So every time he called Uncle Nima, he felt like he was scolding.
