Shonan Ghost Cub Shonan Ghost Cub Chapter 18: The Origin of the Fat Man
"You're Su Mo!"
What really stopped me completely was his next words, although the action stopped, but the vigilance was still there.
I didn't expect that in such a claustrophobic and dark underground palace, my name would be called out by a tomb robber I had never seen before, and even almost killed me.
"Who are you? How do I know who I am? ”
When I encountered such an unbelievable thing, my questions were a little incoherent.
"Friend, don't be nervous, you should know Aunt Ming, right?"
A few years later, when I remembered the first meeting with the fat man at that time, I often joked with him that if you hadn't shown the golden sign of Aunt Ming, I guess you would not have dispelled my vigilance anyway......
※※※
I am the only one who calls me the title of fat man, and the rest of the people will call me "Zhang Ye" when they see this "tomb robber" in my opinion! Because his real name is Zhang Facai, although his name is cheesy, the name on the road is very loud, so loud that he can be called the leader of their industry.
The term "Touching Jin School Captain" originated in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao of Wei State set up two military ranks in order to supplement food and salary, namely "Touching Jin School Captain" and "Faqiu Zhonglang General". What they did was tomb robbing, and those who could join these two armies were all good at tomb robbing at that time.
They dug ancient tombs and stole a large amount of gold and silver treasures, which greatly helped Cao Cao's hegemony! However, digging up graves is really detrimental to yin morality, although these two professions have been brilliant, but they are only brilliant at that moment.
To this day, "Faqiu Zhonglang General" has not been passed down by descendants, but "Touching Jin Xiaowei" has been passed down to the first generation, the orthodox heir is surnamed Liu, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called "Master Liu", and some are just this code name, because few people know his real name.
And Zhang Facai is the apprentice of Master Liu, the last generation of the "Touching Gold School Captain", and he has the true inheritance of Master Liu with all his skills.
If Zhang Facai can be called the leader of this declining profession, then Master Liu can be called a grandmaster or a master.
The reason why he appeared in this dungeon like me is that we have someone we know in common, and this person is Aunt Ming.
I don't know the intentions of Aunt Ming and Second Uncle, since the second person was notified to enter here, why didn't they tell me about the existence of the fat man in advance, and looking at the time when the fat man entered the underground palace, it was obvious that he was notified earlier than notifying me.
The fat man said that the information he got was to assist a person named Su Mo to put the "Zhenlongsha" and "Dunlong Fu" in the designated place of the underground palace, as for why he listened to Aunt Ming's instructions, he did not explain this to me in detail, but simply said that it was a mystery related to his life experience at this time.
When he came to his senses, he was able to recognize my identity, thanks to the contents of my backpack scattered on the ground, the "Zhenlongsha" wrapped in yellow cloth and the "Dunlong Fu" in the plastic transparent box.
As for his entry into the world of illusions, it was completely caused by his own arrogance and physiological reasons, and as a leader in the tomb robbery world, he naturally did not take Aunt Ming's entrustment seriously.
Originally, after entering the dungeon, he also carefully put on a gas mask, but after his investigation and the equipment prepared in advance to test the poison gas, it was revealed that there was no poisonous gas in this dungeon at all.
He was already fat, and there was no air circulation here, which made it very depressing, and for his size, it would take a long time to adapt to it without wearing a gas mask, let alone wearing a mask.
So after repeated confirmation, he decided to take off his gas mask.
Sure enough, as he thought, after taking off his gas mask, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, and this state lasted until he opened the nearest building to the cave passage to the entrance to the dungeon.
Figuring out what had happened, my guard finally eased a little, but the dagger was still in my hand, and the fat man looked at my right hand holding the dagger, and shook his head with a wry smile.
"How about it, friend, go with Master Zhang and my ghost gate?"
The first time I heard his unique humorous style, I didn't completely let my guard down, I just nodded and didn't have any extra words.
With his previous narrative, I have become accustomed to his style of speaking, and even in my future experience, my nervousness will be greatly reduced just by being with fat people.
He taught me that an optimistic personality and a lot of embellishment and exaggeration can be turned into humor, and it is not annoying cold humor, this kind of humor comes very directly.
Although the candle flame in the southeast corner is weak, but it is still dancing tenaciously, lighting candles in the tomb is a unique routine of touching the golden school captain, this I have heard for a long time, saying that the lamp is extinguished, and can not move anything in the tomb, the legend of the rivers and lakes is because you met the stingy tomb owner, the term is called "ghost blowing the lamp".
In fact, this is just an exaggeration, and if the candle in the southeast corner is extinguished, it can only mean one thing, that is, the tomb you are entering has low oxygen content and is not suitable for further stay.
In modern times, some advanced instruments for measuring gas content were born, and these instruments were also requisitioned by many tomb robbers, but the rules of lighting candles in the southeast corner are still used by the captains of the gold school to this day, which has become a common thing in their profession.
In the package sent to me by Aunt Ming in Daoxian County, in addition to the "Zhenlong Sand" and "Dunlong Fu", all the necessities were put two or more, such as the gas mask with several Dräger cards, in general, this gas mask is still very comfortable, and the parts in contact with the face are made of silicone.
I picked two of them and put them in my backpack, but I didn't expect them to come in handy, I picked up the one I was wearing on the ground and continued to put it on, and the other one was given to the fat man.
From his account, we conclude that there must be something strange in the room where he placed the candles, and that his abnormality also occurred after entering the room.
"Damn, that's what this place really looks like!"
The fat man, who had re-entered the room, looked around the room and said.
"What did you see before?"
I asked.
"Do you know who this tomb is?"
After the fat man said the three words of the tomb owner, he seemed to remember something, even if he couldn't see his expression clearly while wearing a gas mask, he could see the excitement in his eyes.
For a while, I also became curious about the identity of the tomb owner he said, and following the direction of the fat man's finger, I approached the stone tablet on the edge of the giant pit, and after seeing the content of the tablet, I also showed the same excitement as the fat man!
