Shonan Oni Cub Shonan Oni Cub Chapter 41: Discussion
The warm sunlight shines through the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel onto the glass surface of the coffee table in the room, reflecting the brightness of the room. The fat man sat limply on the blue-purple sofa behind the coffee table, holding half of the unfinished roast duck in his hand, and the red wine glass in front of him was empty.
Because I suddenly overeaten, although my physiology was satisfied, the organs of my body were overloaded, making it difficult for me to sit down, so I had to keep pacing on the other side of the coffee table in the room.
Looking at the fat man's enjoyment, I actually had a trace of envy, envy of his body's capacity for food.
"Xiao Su, can I contact your Aunt Ming?"
The fat man poured the wine glass in front of him again, took a bite of roast duck, took a sip of red wine, and asked me as he chewed in his mouth.
"We have always been in one-line contact, and I can only talk to Aunt Ming if she takes the initiative to find me."
I replied.
The last time Aunt Ming called me was when I left from Ghost Cub Ridge to pick up the carton package at the Daoxian Post Office.
"To be honest, Xiao Su, although I have been to so many tombs, it is the first time I have encountered something like the Gu Worm Tomb that we exited. I've never even heard of it before. ”
The fat man nibbled half of the roast duck naked, and then licked the palms and fingers covered with grease. Then he got up and walked to the edge of the bed, leaned over to the head of the bed, and picked up the backpack on the bed.
The legendary treasure of "Yang Sui Zhu" is now clearly held in his hands.
I have never seen anything so crystal clear, there is no irregularity on the surface, and the inside is transparent as if it were filled with the purest liquid, and there are ripples from time to time.
"Holy!"
I was attracted by the splendor of the "Yang Sui Bead" in his hand when I heard the fat man scream and threw the whole bead to the ground. After that, I jumped up and quickly took off my pajamas!
I saw that the surface of the pajamas that he threw to the ground ignited a layer of dark blue flames, as if it was isolated from the inner layer of the pajamas, only burning on the surface.
I was also in a daze, looking at the fat man. The flame was like a ghost fire, and it ran around the surface of the pajamas, and then it was extinguished!
When the fire was extinguished, the fat man picked up the pajamas he had thrown to the ground. The pajamas as a whole were not damaged at all, not even a trace of ignition.
"What's going on?"
The fat man lifted his pajamas, looked carefully at the sunlight that came in, and suddenly rushed to the window and quickly closed the curtains.
His movements were as agile as in the dungeon, and even if he had just eaten so much food, it didn't affect his movements.
As he closed the curtains, the light in the room dimmed immediately. At that moment, I had the illusion of returning to the Gu Worm Tomb again.
"What's wrong?"
I immediately stepped back closer to the door and asked the fat man tentatively. I don't know if the fat man's behavior is normal at this moment, maybe at the moment when he was holding the "Yang Suizhu", he unconsciously fell into an illusion again.
Although we are in a bustling city at the moment, the strangeness in Zhao Tuo's tomb and those existences beyond my understanding make me unsure if there are some unknown extradimensional things happening in the city where we think it is safe.
It's like the weird movements of the fat man in front of him.
"Little comrade, don't panic! Dude, I'm normal! ”
When the fat man saw my actions, he deliberately changed his tone to soothe it. Trying to dispel my nervousness. Seeing that I didn't move, he continued to say in a straight voice: "Xiao Su, you should have heard of the characteristics of "Yang Suizhu", right? ”
My mind raced, searching for information about the "Yang Suizhu". After a few breaths, I suddenly understood why the fat man had pulled the curtains.
According to records, "Yang Sui Zhu", the treasure of the town of Nanyue.
It is a brilliant pearl, as long as the sun shines, the sunlight gathers through the pearl, it will form a bright spot with a very high temperature on the ground, and after a while, the flammable things that the bright spot touches will smoke and fire, which is used in people's lives, military and so on. According to the analysis of the literature, the reason why the "Yang Suizhu" burns is that it uses the concave mirror to concentrate light.
But the state of the fat man's pajamas burning in front of him is not consistent with what is recorded in the data. If, as described in the record, the principle is the same as that of a magnifying glass, then the fat man's pajamas would have been set on fire.
And the blue flame just caused by the "Yang Sui Zhu" is like a "ghost fire", coming and going.
"How much do you know about Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue?"
Just as I was falling into a memory, the fat man asked with a straight face.
"I understand, if Nanyue can be counted as a dynasty, then their first emperor, Zhao Tuo, the martial king of Nanyue, can be regarded as the longest-lived emperor of ancient China."
I replied.
In fact, what I know about Zhao Tuo is completely in some more orthodox historical records, and the descriptions of South Vietnam are all superficial and very simple introductions. After all, the state of Nanyue, during the Han Dynasty to which it belonged, was only a small vassal state.
The fat man's inquiring tone made me feel like he should know more than I did.
"Xiao Su, in the dangerous environment of the underground palace, we don't have time to discuss our previous experiences at all."
After the fat man finished speaking, he walked to the sofa behind the coffee table and re-finished it, this time the posture was very formal, and there was no casual sitting posture when eating roast duck and drinking beer before. Obviously, the fat man is very serious about the topic of discussion with me next.
I didn't say anything about his words, and brought a chair wrapped in soft cloth from the window to the opposite of him, listening carefully to what he was saying.
The fat man picked up the "Yang Suizhu" that he threw to the ground in a hurry and put it on the coffee table in the middle of us.
Having just been thrown to the ground by him, the bead turned out to be intact, and in the room where the curtains were drawn, it was the only thing that could glow.
I've never seen a night pearl before, and I think the real night pearl is probably the glowing state of the bead in front of me. Through the clear light of the "Yang Suizhu", I saw the solemn expression of the fat man sitting on the sofa opposite me, which was the first time I had seen him show such an expression.
"Xiao Su, our next conversation may be related to my life experience, and it is also related to the secrets of your Su family that you don't understand. You and I have to do our best to remember what happened to us in the past few days. Don't let go of any details! ”
The fat man said solemnly in a serious tone.
"Of course."
I replied.
I was still a little uncomfortable with his sudden change in his previous unobtrusive speaking style.
I remembered that in the underground palace, the fat man once mentioned that Aunt Ming told him that the trip to the underground palace was related to his life experience. It seems that the fat man has the same incomprehension and confusion about his life experience as I do now.
"Where to start?"
I asked.
"Let's start with the dungeon where we have experienced together, because our experiences overlap there, so it is easy for us to resonate with our analysis."
Fat man suggests.
I nodded in agreement.
I suddenly remembered the experience of going down to the crevasse cliff before I met the fat man. I don't know if the fat man had the same hallucinations as me when he went down to the crack.
"Did you see us descending to the opposite side of the crack cliff wall of the dungeon, where there was a cliff tomb where the coffins of animal carcasses were placed? How so? ”
The fat man was at a loss when I asked him what the bones of the animals in the cliff tomb he saw on the cliff wall were.
Judging by his expression, he wasn't joking with me, but a real one.
"Didn't you see the cliff tomb and the coffin containing the carcass of an unknown animal before you went down to the bottom of the cliff?"
For this reason, I asked the fat man with a solemn expression on the other side again, wanting to get a different answer.
"I'm sure I haven't seen it, not even the hallucinogenic flowers on the cliff."
The fat man replied with a frown.
When he had answered, there was a brief silence in the room. Our discussions ran into a dilemma from the very beginning.
This brief silence was broken by the fat man first.
"Xiao Su, I analyze, the cracks in the mountain under us are constantly moving!"
"A moving mountain?"
I asked, somewhat incredulous.
The fat man saw my question and continued to ask.
"Do you admit that your experience and experience in going to the grave is not as good as my brother?"
"Of course, not only is not only not as experienced as you, but even less than one-ten-thousandth of your knowledge."
I say.
This answer of mine is not a compliment to the fat man, but a fact. The underground palace of Zhao Tuo's tomb we went down to was my first visit to the tomb in the real sense. Many of the experiences are firsts in life. Compared with the fat man who is the heir of the famous "Touching the Golden Captain" on the rivers and lakes, I am indeed less than one-ten-thousandth of his knowledge.
"Brother, you misunderstood. I don't mean to let you praise me, but to say that I've experienced the same moving graveyard, and I just want you to believe what I say. Although we have experienced several lives and deaths together, I know you will believe my description, but after all, my descriptions are too unbelievable, which is why I say these words. ”
The fat man explained.
"I believe what you say, but this is indeed a bit unbelievable, and according to your description, we can move down to the cliff wall of the underground palace, which is completely inconsistent with the existing knowledge of crustal movement."
I actually believe in this theory, but the learning experience of more than ten years has forced me to ask questions.
And the fat man's answer made me instantly agree with his description.
"Xiao Su, this world is full of unknowns. There are a lot of areas that we haven't touched before. For example, the attacking flower in the space of the main hall, and the room of the instant ice cellar. These are real experiences. So, you're going to have to think differently in the future. There are many things that you have experienced yourself that may not be true. What you see is not necessarily true......"
