Chapter 2 Deconstructing Patterns
Chen Yun grabbed the rhinoceros horn on the table, leaned into the light and looked carefully, her face was very calm, she couldn't see what she was thinking in her heart, she said I was actually just suspicious, think about it, is Uncle Liu easy to get along with?
I shook my head and said that it was not easy to get along with, that he was very mysterious and a hard idea, that he was able to pretend to be captured, deceive the trust of the mercenaries of the RAND Corporation, and fight back at the last moment, killing Kenjiro Fujino, which is enough to prove that he is calculating.
Chen Yun continued, "Yes, I have reason to believe that this person pretending to be 'Uncle Liu' is a ruthless character who is used to licking blood with a knife, but this is such a person, but he helped you once and saved you from the danger of being surrounded by corpses and insects, he has nothing to do with us, it stands to reason that after we die, no one will compete with him for the secrets in the ancient Yelang ruins, but why should he rescue his competitors." ”
I said that this doesn't mean that he is my grandfather, besides, Uncle Liu himself said that he had been with my grandfather for a while when he was young, maybe he just couldn't bear to see the Sima family. Chen Yun said that you can understand it so well, but if Uncle Liu saved you just because of the old love, then why would he give you such an important rhinoceros horn?
"At that time, he was forced to give it to us to prove his identity. Chen Yun smiled proudly and said that there are many ways to prove his identity, even if he has to borrow this rhinoceros horn to prove his identity, he can directly take the rhinoceros horn back after proof, instead of letting you pick it up. I suspect that there must have been a deeper meaning to what he did.
I hesitated and said, "What do you mean, whether he is my grandfather or not, that he deliberately gave me this rhino horn so that I could gather all the rhino horns to reveal some secret?" ”
"It should be!" Chen Yun sighed, and then said that Uncle Liu is not a simple person, everything he does should have a deeper meaning, now the five rhinoceros horns have all been obtained by us, maybe when we deconstruct them, we will be able to get a complete secret, this is also an explanation he gave you, at least let you understand why he can't run around all his life and can't be by your side.
I said okay, the rhinoceros horn will be handed over to you, you can deconstruct the above secrets for me as soon as possible, and I also want to know what secrets my grandfather has been running around all his life in order to keep.
The two of them hit it off, and in the end, Ge Zhuang and I didn't take anything away from Chen Yun's house, so we hitchhiked back to our residence. I haven't been back to the rental house for so long, a thick layer of ash has accumulated at home, and the corners of the eaves are hung with cobwebs, Ge Zhuang took a broom to knock them all off, went outside and brought a bag of cold dishes home, and was serving beer, our brothers pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and enjoyed the joy of the rest of our lives after the disaster.
After drinking a few bottles of beer, Ge Zhuang asked me, "I said little pumpkin, do you really believe what Sister Chen Yun said, this girl has been a little insincere recently, and she has hidden a lot of things from us, didn't Brother Corpse remind you and let you stop investigating?" ”
I said fatty, it's still true, but after all, the matter is related to my grandfather, blood is thicker than water, can I not care? I also made up my mind, as long as I can study the truth about my grandfather's disappearance this time, I will wash my hands and never go to the grave again, and our brothers will find a good job and live a down-to-earth life, which is countless times safer than running in the tomb and running with zongzi.
Ge Zhuang said, in fact, the fat man is also tired, and he doesn't want to do this business without capital anymore, the first few times he went to the tomb, that time was not a dangerous abnormality, and he relied on the fat man's auspicious star to barely climb out of the grave, and he was going to meet Marx if he was not careful, and this kind of life was not a way to go on for a long time, I promised you, but if we can make a windfall, we will wash our hands and never touch this thing again.
No one is born with a penchant for tomb robbing, we are different from Chen Yun, she is in pursuit of the truth, looking for the lost truth of ancient human civilization, Ge Zhuang and I are completely forced to live, hoping to make a windfall and live the rest of our lives without worrying about food and clothing.
Different purposes determine the different angles from which we look at problems.
After eating and drinking, Ge Zhuangjiang and I slept on the leather sofa all night, and the next day we went back to the stall, reopened the roller shutter door, and opened for business.
After a few days of calm and calm, I received another call from Chen Yun, who told me that she had made a remarkable discovery, and that I must put down all the work at hand and rush to her house immediately.
At that time, Ge Zhuang was squatting on the side of the road eating spicy noodles, I put down the phone and hurried out, kicked Ge Zhuang in the buttocks, and said Why don't you even give Lao Tzu a mouthful of soup? Ge Zhuang threw away the dishes and chopsticks and said that you want to eat them and buy them yourself.
I said I won't eat it, Chen Yun's research has results, let me hurry over, do you want to come with me? Ge Zhuang pulled down the curtain of the door and said that he would go together, anyway, it was the off-season these days, and there was no business.
We took a taxi back to Chen Yun's house, but when we entered the house, we saw Lao Zhong, who was smoking with Erlang's legs crossed. Seeing that we arrived, Lao Zhong Xiaoxiao stood up, opened the cigarette case and handed me a cigarette, saying that you should go up to the second floor quickly, Xiao Yun was impatient to wait.
I took the cigarette and didn't smoke it, but why did he come to Chongqing again? Lao Zhong said, "Chen Yun called me to come, saying that there was a big move, and after finishing this ticket, I don't have to go to the tomb in the future." ”
I feel a pang in my heart, I rarely see Chen Yun in such a hurry, not only called me and the fat man, but even Lao Zhong contacted him in advance, this is going to leave!
We didn't waste time, and hurriedly accompanied Lao Zhong to the second floor, the door of the study was open, Chen Yun was sitting under the lamp waiting for me, seeing that Ge Zhuang and I felt it for so long, he frowned and complained, "Why are you so slow?" ”
I closed the door and asked her why she was in such a hurry to call us over. Chen Yun took out a drawing from under the desk drawer, put it on the table and said, "Open it yourself and take a look, it turns out that the reliefs on the five rhinoceros horns can be enlarged and completely combined to form a painting, and there are words on the painting, I have asked someone to translate it." ”
I took the blank piece of paper, unfolded it gently, and soon a huge pattern jumped in front of me.
The record in this pattern is a magnificent picture of the outside, which is a large hall of the Heavenly Palace floating on the clouds, which coincides with the content of the relief we found on the altar of Gu Yelang before, and the record is exactly the same place.
I said, "Why is this pattern the same as the relief on the altar of Koyoro?" Chen Yun asked me to take a good look at it, she said, "In fact, the content is not repeated, but the story takes place in the same place, the background is almost the same, this palace on the clouds should be the birthplace of ancient human civilization." ”
