Chapter Ninety-One: Determination

Professor Chen, his assistants, and the archaeological team composed of students went into the desert to find the exquisite ruins, not to mention those who died in the black desert, and the rest of the breath came out alive; The worst person was definitely Professor Chen, who was stimulated so much that it caused him to have a nervous breakdown. It was a nightmarish experience, and at the time, Shirley Young didn't know that there were so many deeply entangled bonds between him and the black Zagrama Sacred Mountain.

After returning from the desert, Shirley Yang took Professor Chen to the United States for treatment, and it didn't take long for both of them to have eyeball-shaped red bruises on their backs; Professor Chen's condition was more serious, suffering from a rare iron deficiency, and Y Yang learned from the prophet's revelation in the Zagrama mountain that he might be a descendant of the Zagrama tribe, so he launched a series of in-depth investigations into this. The more we learn about the fate of the past, the more we understand that the bottomless ghost cave is far more complicated than you think, and the current understanding of the bottomless ghost cave is not even the tip of the iceberg.

Shirley Yang found the most important thing is the dragon bone in the Great Buddha Temple in Blackwater City, the foreign text on it is unreadable, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the dragon bone is engraved with many eyeball symbols. That special shape is clear at a glance, and it is exactly the same as the jade eyeball that was broken in Xinjiang, and the crimson marks that grew on the back.

This heterogeneous keel must be an important record of the dust beads, if you can crack the contents, maybe you can find the dust beads, otherwise Shirley Yang, the fat man, and I will inevitably suffer from the kind of blood clotting and yellowing when we die in the future. And in Professor Chen, who had a nervous breakdown, this kind of evil disease has begun to breed, and God knows how long the old man can last.

After I came back from Shaanxi, I was always restless because I didn't know what was behind it. Now that it has been confirmed from Shirley Yang's mouth, it is really related to the damn bottomless ghost hole, and his heart has collapsed. It's not as terrible as I thought before, life is a lifetime, anyway, that kind of strange disease will not occur until many years later, and at that time, it would be better if I immigrated to the United States for refuge. But what about Professor Chen? Is it just to watch the old man die like this?

Sometimes I have to believe that there is a pull of fate in the dark. It just so happened that not long ago I learned in Gutian County that Professor Sun had cracked this kind of dragon bone book in heaven, and the content of the book was absolutely confidential, and Professor Sun refused to divulge a word. Moreover, Professor Sun is probably the only one in the world who has mastered the method of interpreting the Book of Heaven for the time being, because the research results have not yet been made public. I also told Shirley Yang in detail about these things, although Professor Sun is not empathetic and tight-lipped like a bottle, but after all, he is also a mortal, if you fight with him, it should not be a problem to let him speak. But then what? Follow the clues to invert the bucket and pour out the big eyeball-like dust beads? It's not as easy as touching the lower lip with the upper lip. Those mountain movers have been looking for so many years but have not found ...... It can be said that we are not sure that we will go to find it, and there are too many dangers in the ancient tomb, and if we don't do it, we will have to take a few lives, which is a bit more than worth the loss.

Shirley Yang saw that I was wandering, thinking that I had some concerns about finding the dust beads, so he asked me, "What?" Are you scared? I just want to wait for the clue to come and ask you to take me to the place, and I can go in and fight alone......"

I interrupted her: "What's the matter? Isn't it a joke to underestimate people, you don't inquire, Hu Ye, can I still be afraid? That, Vietnamese, you know, right? What do you think? Don't look black and skinny like a little skinny chicken, but it's powerful enough to train you Americans away, and it didn't turn out that I was going to do it. When Vietnam was fighting back in self-defense, I was the vanguard of the front of the army, and if the Central Military Commission hadn't stopped me, I would have occupied Hanoi. Forget it, anyway, I told you that you think I'm bragging, and I will use practical actions to prove that I am not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death; What's more, there is still a matter of you and Professor Chen here, and I have no reason to sit idly by. I finished pulling Shirley Young on the bench to leave the park.

Shirley Yang asked me where I was going, and I said to her, "We've been with this all afternoon, and it's not getting early now, and the fat man is still waiting for me in Panjiayuan." I'll go back and ask him to clean up, and we'll go to Shaanxi tomorrow to find Professor Sun, whether he says it or not, we must pry his teeth open, and then we can do whatever we want. โ€

Shirley Yang sighed and said to me, "You are just too impulsive, thinking about what is what, how can these things be so simple, why do you say Professor Sun refuses to say it?" Is he afraid that the leakage of heavenly secrets will bring danger to himself? โ€

I said to Shirley Young, "Actually...... How to tell you this foreign girl, some of the Chinese are difficult to explain. Don't listen to Professor Sun's scare and bluff against me, it's not so evil, judging from my experience of observing words and feelings, the old coffin scoop surnamed Sun must have been handled by the superior leaders. โ€

Shirley Yang shook his head puzzled: "What did you do?" โ€

It was not easy for me to explain these things to Shirley Yang, so I thought about it and said to her: "Let me give you an example, for example, there is an authority in China who said 1+1=3, and later Professor Sun verified that 1+1 should be = 2, but because the master who first said 1+1=3 is an authority person, even if he is wrong, no one is allowed to raise objections." Professor Sun may have found some subversive content from the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, which does not conform to the current values or worldview, so he was given a ban by the leader and is not allowed to say it to anyone. That's why he's so weird like he is now, and I think it's probably because his mother is a little cynical. โ€

The plan in my heart is to find Professor Sun first and ask for clarification, if there is no clue to the dust bead in this dragon bone heavenly book, then it will be fine; If there were, most of them were divined by Zagrama's ancestors, and they would eventually be buried in a large tomb. I have always had a lofty ideal, that is, to make a big fight with my own ability, make a windfall, and then wash my hands of gold; Otherwise, if you have the ability to set the acupoint of this identity, there is nowhere to show it, so it will be a pity not to put it into flowing water.

This is the right opportunity. Saving others also saves yourself by the way, and it just happens to pay off the debt owed to Shirley Yang. In fact, even if I don't owe her favors, with the friendship between us that have been through hardships together, and the fact that she saved my life, I can't help her and Professor Chen in the face of this.

When I find the dust beads, I don't want them. It was not a mundane object, it was not something that mortals could consume. But this operation is not archaeology, it is a veritable inverted bucket. Now I have a lot of money, if I encounter other Ming weapons in the process of inverting the bucket, then I will no longer be polite, and I will be good or bad.

I made up my mind and said to Shirley Young, "Let's go to the fat man and the big gold tooth first, and we will need his help in these things." We just happened to treat you to a meal, how about the Beijing Hotel? By the way, do you have Forex? Give me some first, and the yuan won't work if you eat there. โ€

When I took Shirley Yang back to Panjiayuan, the fat man and the big golden tooth had just finished making a large single-shot foreign village, and sold five or six pieces of green head with judgment eyes. Recently, business has been really good, and if it continues like this, in a few days, we will go to Shaanxi again to "shovel the land".

I asked the fat man and the big gold tooth to clean up, and everyone rushed to the Jianguo Hotel together. During the dinner, I told Shirley Yang about it, and said that I planned to go with her to find Yun Chenzhu.

After hearing this, the big golden tooth said to me: "Master Hu, I shouldn't say anything, according to me, if I don't look for it, maybe I can live a few more years." Now our business in Panjiayuan is too hot, and we can't afford to abandon our family and business and then go to the fight, there are zongzi in the ancient tomb. โ€

The fat man said to the big gold tooth: "Old gold, this bucket still has to fall." We have to find a few kinds of bright weapons that can press the bottom of the box, so that we can have enough confidence to buy and sell, so that those big customers dare not underestimate us. Although you can rest assured that Lao Jin, your body is not good, you can't resist the toss, and you won't be allowed to fight. But you don't have to worry about us, in case there is really a zongzi, Lao Tzu will shoot it on behalf of the people. โ€

I also learned the Sichuan accent of Lord Deng and said to the big golden tooth: "Yes, old gold, don't be afraid to break these altars and jars, and don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, the reason why we give up this place today is precisely because we want to preserve this place for a long time." โ€

After hearing this, the big golden tooth said to us, holding the golden tooth and saying to us: "Okay, I have served the two masters, I can afford to put it down, and I value friendship over life and death, I am really a man." In fact, it's not just me, now mention you two in Panjiayuan, which one doesn't give a thumbs up? all know that he is a well-known habitual seller of sesame oil in Panjiayuan, who does not pay silver tax, is allowed to enter but is not allowed to leave, and has a tough guy who has no contacts. โ€

The fat man rubbed his feet while eating, and when he heard the big gold tooth praise us, he nodded again and again, and when he heard it, he felt that something was wrong, so he asked, "Old Jin, do you praise us or scold us?" Why didn't I sound right? โ€

The big golden tooth hurriedly said to the fat man: "Foolish brother doesn't mean this......

I saw Shirley Yang bowing her head and saying nothing, her face was full of sadness, and her face was very haggard, I knew that she was worried about Professor Chen's safety, and felt that I couldn't get together with the fat man and the big gold tooth to talk about business, so I quickly said to the fat man and the big gold tooth: "Okay, okay, let's talk about some serious things." I'll lay out our tasks for the future. I said Comrade Wang Kaixuan, this is a high-end hotel, please pay attention to politeness when dining, don't pick your feet with your hands while eating, what kind of physique. โ€

The fat man said to me casually: "Rubbing your feet makes me feel comfortable." Besides, my father liked to eat and smoke while rubbing his feet back then, which was a glorious tradition cultivated in the revolutionary era, and today with the reform and opening up, we should carry him forward and let his feet be completely liberated. โ€

I said to the fat man, "Don't you see that there are still American friends here, now this is a diplomatic occasion, I really don't bother to care about you, you can't get on the table." โ€

Shirley Yang saw that I couldn't get to the point after talking for a long time, frowned slightly, and kicked me under the table, I thought of it again, and quickly quieted the fat man and the big gold tooth, and discussed in detail with Shirley Yang how to find the real dust bead.

Don't look at the fat man, who is usually not stingy and doesn't take anything to heart, this is to talk about the trick of finding a baby to find a clear device, he is now more energetic than me. Of course, it's no wonder that he, seeing that this is real money, since he is going to the inverted bucket, no matter whether he can find the dust beads or not, the priceless burial goods in the ancient tomb are indispensable, so now the fat man is also serious.

The big gold tooth is even more enthusiastic, and he doesn't need to fight backwards, but since he is involved, he is indispensable for the Ming weapon. The reason why I pulled Big Golden Tooth into the gang is because Big Golden Tooth has the most extensive connections, and he has almost no things on the black market, and the equipment and equipment needed for the inverted bucket will inevitably ask him to load the goods.

The four of you discussed everything for a long time, and finally decided that if you want to find the dust beads, you must start with this heterogeneous keel engraved with the book of heaven; Take the rubbing to Shaanxi to find Professor Sun, and find out what is recorded in this heterogeneous keel, and then combine it with the information we have; Use this as a clue to continue the pursuit, and once you have a definite goal, it's time to get started.

The sooner you go to Gutian in Shaanxi, the better, and the two of you will go, and I will leave immediately tomorrow to check the bottom of this heterogeneous keel in the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple in Heishui City. Because the fat man has a fear of heights and can't take a plane, he asked the fat man to stay and buy all kinds of equipment with the big gold tooth.

Shirley Yang gave me the golden talisman left by Elder Chen, and I was overjoyed, and this time I had the bottom of my heart; And now each of the three of them has an authentic gold talisman, it seems that God is destined for the three of us to work together and gang up to fight.

In addition, Shirley Yang also brought some of the instruments left by her grandfather to touch the gold, including the golden steel umbrella, the corpse rope, the probe claw, the whirlwind shovel, the dragon smoke, the wind and cloud wrap, the soft corpse incense, the corpse touching gloves, the northern earth Xuanzhu, the yin-yang mirror, the ink fountain, the peach wood nails, the black fold, the water and fire shoes, etc., etc., as well as the recipes for the gold captain to make various secret medicines.

The machines that have been made by these golden captains for thousands of years with experience and technology are the treasures of treasures to us, and there are many guys that I have only heard of and have never seen with my own eyes. With these traditional utensils, plus some of the equipment we are accustomed to for the fat man and the big gold tooth, such as sapper shovels, wolf-eye flashlights, tactical compasses, paratrooper knives, diving watches, gas masks, waterproof matches, mountaineering helmets, headlights, cold fireworks, lighting flares, solid fuel, sleeping bags, filter water bottles, binoculars, thermometers, barometers, first aid kits, various rope safety bolts...... It should be said that no matter where you go, it is almost enough to cope. If the environment is special and some special equipment is needed, it can be supplemented.

It is best to buy the kind of engineering shovels that we originally used to equip the German mountain divisions during World War II, and if you can't buy them, the standard of the US Army can also be bought.

Paratrooper knives are only bought from the Soviet Union, and we use the Russian style very easily, because there is a gap in the performance and shape of various paratrooper knives, and it is the paratrooper knife of the Soviet 106 Guards Airborne Division that is the most comfortable to use when cutting things or melee defense.

With these half-tool, half-weapon equipment, no problem without a firearm. However, the lessons of the past have taught us that our defeat is often due to underestimating the enemyโ€”in the business of fighting backwards, experience is far more important than equipmentโ€”and we do not have enough experience and courage to lose our lives even if we are armed to the teeth. From the Savage Ditch in the Black Wind Mouth, to the Exquisite Mystery City in the desert, and then to the tomb in the Longling Mountains, although the tomb of the Savage Ditch is just a down-and-out general, and the Exquisite Ancient City was followed by the archaeological team, it cannot be regarded as an inverted fight, and there is an empty tomb in the Longling Mountains - but these three experiences of going deep into the ancient tombs can be said to be extremely rare experiences.

However, the large ancient tombs are the end of the life of a certain privileged class in ancient times, and they are of great significance to the ancients. In addition to the copper coffin and iron coffin, the ancient tomb often has to store water and sand, and there are organs everywhere, and there are countless unexpected hardships. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance and try to take into account all the situations that can be imagined.

The people had agreed and went back to rest, and the next morning they went their separate ways. I rushed to Xi'an with Shirley Yang, and then took a bus to Gutian County, where Professor Sun led the archaeological team, to be stationed in an urgent mood, but I did not expect another accident in Gutian County, where Professor Sun had already left the Gutian County Guest House.

Professor Sun is stationed in Gutian all the year round, responsible for recovering all kinds of unearthed cultural relics related to ancient characters, if he is not in the county seat, he must have gone down to the countryside to work; It would be difficult to find him, but I didn't expect that the first step planned in advance would not go well.

Just when I was in a dilemma, I met an old acquaintance in the canteen of the guest house, Lao Liu Tou, who told us that he had found something terrible in a coffin shop in Shiqiaodian near Gutian County, and in less than half a day, this matter was spread throughout Gutian County. Professor Sun is now taking someone to see the scene, you can go there to find him, and as for what is in the coffin shop, you can go and see it.
