A Visitor to the Mountains Chapter 21 Happy Birthday
"This is really an ancient tomb, it can't be a fake!" The youkai yelled.
"Are you sure this is the real burial chamber?" The eagle looked at the owner of the tomb for a while, and asked me and Tang Zhengcao.
"In terms of arrangement, the arrangement here is the same as above, but the contents of this tomb are obviously more valuable than those above, and don't you think the furnishings in the palace look more like an empty warehouse?" Tang Zhengcao said.
"Then how could the owner of the tomb wear a tunic suit? Did you cross over or I crossed, or did it cross over? The monster said.
"This one is definitely not the owner of the tomb." Tang Zheng said.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" The youkai snorted.
"Look at its mouth, what's that?" Eagle said.
A cotton-like object grew out of the corpse's mouth, and at first glance, it looked like the corpse had blown a bubble.
"It's a ...... Dried mushrooms? As he spoke, the youkai had already pulled out the thing and held it in his hand to observe.
"No, no, this should be a corpse mushroom, also called coffin fungus. I ate this when I was a child who was not in good health. I said.
"Zombies? Mushrooms growing on corpses? The youkai asked.
"Yes, the mushroom is a plant that grows inside the coffin and feeds on the corpse. Legend has it that the coffin fungus can grow all year round to feed on the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and take ginseng fairy grass for a long time, accumulate over time, with a fairy breath on the body, even after death, the flesh and even bone marrow on the body have left a lot of nutrients, these nutrients are used and absorbed by microorganisms, and they form corpse mushrooms. Ordinary mushrooms are generally dark red, only the size of eggs, and the longer they pass, the darker their color becomes, the larger they grow, and the higher their nutritional value. Judging from the color and size of this corpse mushroom, it is definitely the best of the best. I pointed to the corpse.
"So it's still a baby!" The monster was amused, and then smacked his lips and said, "Then who is this person?" Could it be that we are in the wrong place? Dig into the tomb of the Republic of China? ”
"It's absolutely impossible!" Tang Zhengcao denied the idea of a monster.
"Indeed, it is impossible for two tombs to be so close together, and besides, even if it is a tomb of the Republic of China, it is impossible to build it here." Eagle added,
"I'm leaning on me, I'm leaning on me!"
The monster rummaged in the coffin for a while, and suddenly shouted:
"Hey friends, new discovery, there's a corpse down there!"
The monster said and pushed the dried corpse aside, only to see that there was a skeleton under the coffin!
Now we are all dumbfounded, how can there be two corpses in one coffin?
"That's right this time, the real tomb owner should be underneath!" Tang Zhengcao said.
"So, who is this corpse?" I asked.
"Hmph, can appear here like us, Republic of China, who do you say?" The youkai snorted coldly.
"Tomb robbers?" I blurted out.
"Don't say it so ugly, this is our senior." The youkai said as he took the dried corpse out of the coffin and put it on the ground, and then looked at the real owner of the tomb.
The real owner of the tomb has long since become a dry bone after thousands of years, and it lies in a coffin full of treasures, which is extremely dazzling. I looked at this scene and felt sad inexplicably, people have been dead for so long, what is the use of asking for these treasures?
The monster rummaged through the coffin, not knowing what it was looking for.
"What are you looking for?" I asked curiously, what was he still looking through when the whole tomb was full of treasures.
"You ask, this has nothing to do with you." He rolled his eyes and held his lips.
"Did you find it?" The eagle asked, leaning on the edge of the coffin.
"Aren't you looking for it too? Did you find it? The monster said irritably.
"No, no?" The Eagle said with a little disappointment.
The conversation between the two of them sounded mysterious and seemed to be saying something unspeakable. Didn't they come here to find antiques of the underworld? But now it doesn't seem like so. Could it be that they have other purposes? Many questions arose in my mind.
"Hey, that's unreliable! In the end, there is no such thing at all! The two of us have to take our lives, Eagle, this time I was killed by you! The youkai sighed.
"It's true that I wasn't prepared for it, and I saw everything too simply."
"You didn't prepare for a word, how many people did we die, and now Mao hasn't been found, it's really a loss for Mrs. and a soldier!" The monster said unwillingly.
"But could this thing have been taken away in the early years?" Eagle guessed.
"Forget it, you see, isn't this senior lying here? What can he do, he even stays here with his life! ”
The youkai said casually groping around the dried corpse a few times.
"Yo yo, don't say it, there's a note! There's still a word on it! He pulled out a few small folded pieces of paper from the pockets of the dried corpse's clothes.
"Hi Pi...... Three-point water ...... What's this? Eagle, come and see, what does this mean! The monster opened one of the papers, read it for a long time, and then handed it to the eagle.
The eagle watched it for a long time, but he couldn't understand what it meant.
"You don't understand either, show it to them." The monster took the note and handed it to Tang Zhengcao and me.
The paper has turned black, and judging by the paper, the note has been sitting for many years. There is a row of scribbled traditional Chinese characters written on it, which is vaguely recognizable:
Bailong Hi Pi, San'er ordered water to be inspired, the old watch fell off the horse's hair, the public mouth rose, and he returned home quickly.
I watched it for a long time, and I really couldn't understand what it meant, and I knew all the words, but I couldn't read them when they were connected.
"It's slang." Tang Zhengcao looked at the note and said.
"Dirty?" The three of us said in surprise.
"The old charlatans. Specially used for joints, black market trading. ”
"Wouldn't it, this guy is a gangster?" The monster came to the rescue.
"Literally, this person should be a member of the Brotherhood." Tang Zhengcao hesitated for a moment and said.
"Elders? Isn't that the one that's on the TV...... Brother Pao! Heroic and righteous, hoe the strong and help the weak! The one who fought against Japan with the New Fourth Army? The monster's eyes lit up.
"How do you know it's the Elders? What exactly does this mean? The eagle asked Don Zhengcao.
"White Dragon Hi Pi, it means that there is a person named White Dragon who wants to join the association, the word 'Hi Pi' is used very carefully, this word specifically refers to the meaning of participating in the Elders' Association, and it is from this word that I inferred that this senior is a member of the Elders' Association. San'er is enlightened, saying that there is a person named San'er who betrayed his accomplices and robbed the property, the word old watch is also used now, that is, the meaning of friends and companions, we also commonly use the fall, we can often see in the news, a certain official fell off the horse, that is, the meaning of being arrested, Mao should mean execution. The public mouth is rising, that is, the gathering place is surrounded by officers and soldiers. Finally, there is no need to explain the sentence of returning home quickly. So the whole sentence is connected: Bailong wants to join the club, San'er betrays his companion and robs his property, his companion is arrested and executed, and the gathering place is surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, come back quickly. Tang Zhengcao explained carefully.
"Yes, Holy Hand, you know all the black words of the Republic of China." The monster patted Tang Zhengcao's shoulder and continued: "Since that's the case, then go home, why did you get here?" The monster asked strangely.
"He must have other companions, who, like us, entered the dungeon, entered the palace, and found the real burial chamber, but they must have been attacked by something, and perhaps like us, unfortunately, he died, and his companion did not want him to die and have no place to live, so he put him in the coffin, and his companion, must have turned over this coffin in advance." The eagle affirmed.
"There's an old photo here, it seems to be a ...... Group photo ......" The monster opened another one, and a black and white photo fell out of it.
We leaned over to look around, and the picture was small, and the people on it were blurred. There is also a row of very small white letters written on the top of the black and white photo.
"Daliang...... Amoy...... Republic...... Twelve...... Color, is this a group photo of the Elders' Association? Look. The monster took the photo to Tang Zhengcao's eyes.
"The big waves wash the sand, the Republic of China...... Thirteen musts! ”
Tang Zhengcao looked at this photo blankly and said in disbelief.
"What is this? You know? Eagle asked.
"This ...... It is a very powerful but mysterious tomb robbery organization during the Republic of China. Tang Zhengcao said with his eyes down.
"Thirteen absolutes, that is, there are thirteen people in total?" Youkai asked.
"Yes, there are thirteen people in total, each of them has unique skills, they cooperated with various money and power forces at that time, and they also have their own gangs, and they have taken advantage of the war to go down to many tombs and steal many treasures. Of course, these are just legends, and I've only heard them. Tang Zhengcao said vaguely.
"In this way, this person won't be one of the thirteen uniques." The monster put away his cynical attitude and said seriously.
"It's very likely, but it's very strange, how can these people have anything to do with the Xinjiang Elders......" Tang Zhengcao whispered.
I wasn't in the mood to listen to them talk about things from nearly a hundred years ago, so I sat down next to Ning Fanzi. I was leaning against the wall, and my whole body was sore, especially the wound on my lower back.
I pulled out a compressed biscuit from my pocket, which Scar had given me when I was in the car, and I didn't remove it until I thought it was unpalatable. Fortunately, I didn't eat it until now, so I can fill my hunger and replenish some energy.
"You woke up when you were in the car, you must be hungry if you haven't eaten for so long, eat?" I broke half a biscuit for Fanzi.
"Thank you." He said in a raw way.
"Do you remember something?" I asked him.
He shook his head.
"The two of us grew up together, and we have been very good since we were young. At that time, there were pheasants and Jiajia, and the four of us played together. Because you are so naughty and cute, the adults have nicknamed you Foreign. Your mom moved away with you in second grade, and we lost touch. I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, grandma and they still talk about you often, I was very excited a few days ago, I can see you again, but I didn't expect to encounter this thing......" I said helplessly to Ning Fanzi.
He looked at me blankly.
"It's okay, if you can't think of it, just think about it slowly. You just have to remember that I'm your good friend. I nibbled on the biscuit as I spoke.
Dry food without water is really hard to swallow, but if you don't eat it, you will die faster. I chewed on the dry biscuit and asked myself: What's the point of living like this?
"I don't know what good things to eat, I don't know how to share them!" The youkai saw that I was eating, so they came over.
"Hook move." He said.
"What?" I looked up and asked.
"Move your ass." He sat down next to me as he spoke.
I didn't bother to talk to him, and I didn't want to move, so I gave him some cookies.
"It's still your kid who is well prepared and has brought dry food. If only I could have some water! He shoved the biscuits into his mouth.
"Tick-"
"Damn, it's the first of the fucking May! I said how hungry and tired and sleepy, we have been in the tomb for more than a day and a night! The monster looked at the electronic watch in his hand and said in disbelief,
"May 1st...... Labor Day ......"
I muttered, and suddenly a lot of depression arose in my heart, and I thought of my girlfriend Xiaohong, my grandmother, little aunt, and uncle...... My nose was sore, and I couldn't cry anymore. The monster next to me was still pressing, and the more I listened, the more upset I became, and I couldn't control my emotions for a while, and yelled at him:
"Fuck me, shut up!"
The monster was stunned for a moment, completely unexpecting that I would ship at this time, stood up and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sick of it! Can't you just be quiet? It's endless, endless! I said excitedly.
"I said brother, what did I say, is there anything in your way? Where did you get such a big fire for no reason? The youkai said with a laugh.
"Can you handle it? You're in my way anywhere, you know, you, you! It's in my way everywhere! "I pointed to the youkai and the eagle.
"Are you hallucinating? Those are all fake. The youkai said.
“*****! It's all because of you! Because you're here now! Do you know what day it is? It's Lao Tzu's birthday today! I could have spent the day at home, with my family, but now, I can only stay in this dead place and wait to die! It's all because of you! Because of you! These vile and filthy tomb robbers! Don't you have guns? Kill me, kill me now! I yelled uncontrollably.
The youkai and the eagle listened to me, and at first they were a little angry, then a little surprised, and finally they became weak.
"Brother, you, don't be sad, dissipate your anger. Oh, I can understand your feelings, you are indeed innocent, but this matter, I can't blame us, Li Guoqiang led people to arrest you, and all we wanted at that time was Ning Fanzi. You are indeed a good person, and you have helped us along the way, think of something happy, want to open something! The monster crouched down and patted me on the shoulder, and said in a rare good-natured manner.
Cat crying mouse fake mercy! I cursed inwardly.
Then the monster handed over the small half of the biscuit that he had gnawed on, and said:
"This is a gift, Ye Feng, happy birthday!"
