Chapter 43: The Hidden Mystery
The night was extraordinarily quiet, and the deep night sky was so clean that there was not a trace of dust, as if there had just been a light rain not long ago, but Meng Xin knew that they had been in the summer capital for a while, and they had not heard of rain in the near future.

The hotel where the three of them temporarily stayed was in a foothill area, and the surrounding area of the hotel was similar to the hills on the plateau, one after another, standing in the room and looking out of the window, the stars in the sky seemed to be about to fall, and the starlight was like a spark sticking to the bottom of the blackened pot.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Meng Xin suddenly thought of a poem, but even he himself forgot how the poem was sung, which poet it came from, which basically means that I stood taller, closer to the sky, and even raised my hand slightly, and I could touch the stars hanging overhead.
Here, the verses that were originally thought to be almost nonsense were really perfectly displayed in front of Meng Xin.
"Thorn! ――! ”
Meng Xin stretched out his hand and closed the curtains on both sides of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and then saw the fat man and Lao Yuan sitting on the sofa, their heads against their heads studying Meng Xin's map.
The two were still observing carefully, but Meng Xin, who was sitting opposite the two, held a cup of milk tea, put a straw in his mouth, and looked at them quietly.
"Ah Xin, I still can't figure it out, why did you insist on playing in the summer capital for a few days, and I want me to say that it's not too late to play after we come out of it, and I don't think you look like a playful person, tell us quickly, what is the situation, I'm in a hurry." Seeing that Meng Xin was still there, the old god was drinking milk tea on the ground, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Meng Xin heard the fat man's inquiry, and then sucked up the little milk tea residue left, walked in front of them, and took the map from Lao Yuan's hand.
"You guys flip over the map and try it." After speaking, Meng Xin turned over the rags and spread them on a coffee table in front of the sofa.
Seeing Meng Xin's movements, the fat man and Lao Yuan also stood up and focused on the cloth, and after that, Meng Xin found the switch of the light in the room,
"Smack."
It was dark in front of him, and at the same time, Meng Xin opened his mobile phone and placed it under the glass surface of the coffee table, with the faint light of the mobile phone, the three of them clearly saw that the patterns on the cloth showed different changes from another angle.
"What is this? A different map? The fat man looked at the other pattern that appeared in front of his eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that there was a secret hidden in it.
Meng Xin didn't speak, because he saw that Lao Yuan on the side had been frowning all the time when he saw the back of the pattern.
"It's not a map, it's ancient Tibetan." Lao Yuan's hand rubbed on the cloth and fell into deep thought.
"Ancient Tibetan?" The fat man also reached out and touched the piece of cloth, "You said this thing looks like an impressionist painting, and its name is ancient Tibetan?" ”
"Ancient Tibetan is a very ancient script, which rarely appears in ancient books and classics, and is mostly preserved in stone carvings, but now few people know about this script, but it remains as an archaeological value."
Meng Xin looked at Lao Yuan and was a little surprised, although Lao Yuan was retired, his previous professorial title left him not only a large pension, but also knowledge that would not shrink.
Meng Xin also came into contact with an old jade by chance in the early years, and the jade was engraved with this kind of word, so Meng Xin also studied for a period of time, but he only understood the unworn content on the jade, but he knew very little about this kind of writing, and he didn't expect Lao Yuan to know it.
"Old Yuan, you teach archaeology?"
"I teach history."
"Oh."
Although it's not an archaeology department, but it's all about the same, no wonder people know so much, it turns out that there is a specialization in the art industry, thinking of this, the fat man's heart is balanced a lot, if you use the knowledge in video games or anime, then you are not an expert.
"Don't really say it, as soon as Lao Yuan mentions words, I really feel like reading a book when I look at this rag, tell me quickly, what does this dense text mean?" The fat man first faced Meng Xin, and then continued to ask Lao Yuan.
In fact, there is no need for the fat man to urge, Lao Yuan's eyes have been staring at the cloth, but after the fat man said, Lao Yuan took a deep breath.
"What's written in it?" The fat man asked, pointing to the cloth with one finger.
"It's not dense, if I expected, there's only one word written on it."
"One word?!" The fat man was a little surprised.
Meng Xin nodded secretly when he heard this, what Lao Yuan said was right, he really understood, the word he said was a dark word, not that the word was "dark", but that the word was hidden in this picture, and it was written down in a non-regular manner.
Hearing the fat man's inquiry, Lao Yuan nodded heavily,
"It is a 'death' character, you look at the four corners of the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest of this picture, plus the small dot in the middle, together, this is clearly a 'death' character in ancient Tibetan." After a pause, Lao Yuan's eyes moved out of the cloth, looked at Meng Xin, and continued, "You must have discovered this detail in advance and knew the danger inside, so you used the excuse of traveling to prevent us from entering the ancient tomb as soon as possible." ”
Meng Xin nodded slightly, after such an incident, it undoubtedly cast an unknown shadow on this operation, and people who are a little more rational will know that going to the grave now is tantamount to death.
Moreover, this place has long become an open secret because of the fat man's temporary cheapness, and the gold touchers and even members everywhere must be indispensable, Meng Xin asked the fat man before, asking what level his strength occupies in the nightmare platform, and the fat man's answer that day has actually determined the role of the three of them in this operation.
And what they have to do now is to wait, and when they all go in, Meng Xin and the three of them will set off again, not seeking to be the first person to eat crabs, but only hoping to pick up a leak inside, because their strength determines that they can only be the role of picking up leaks.
When the fat man heard Lao Yuan say this, he thought about it, and suddenly shouted: "No, since you have discovered the danger inside, why don't you tell us immediately, why hide it from us for several days, these days have been playing uninterruptedly, and some attractions have even been there twice, so that I am almost tired of this city." ”
What the fat man said is not unreasonable, no matter how good the landscape is, it will be crooked if you see too much, and in the past few days, they have almost turned around the corners of the summer capital, which road has more vehicles, which road has fewer vehicles, and they are all clear, and they are more familiar than their hometown.
"I think it's because of those two ordinary people." Lao Yuan didn't have too many complaints, although he had been kept in the dark by Meng Xin for so long, he still didn't have much emotional ups and downs, as if his character was like this.
People are old and fine, sure enough, this sentence is not wrong at all, Lao Yuan gave Meng Xin the feeling from beginning to end that this person's city is too deep, not at all like the old man who can only pretend to cheat in the mouth of the fat man, besides, who can say that deception is not a kind of strength, and if you can be deceived around, it is success;
Also, the fat man gave himself the impression that the two of us are in a group, as long as you are willing to be new, you can join forces to kill Lao Yuan at any time.
Of course, here, there are the rules of the nightmare platform, and the members can't put other members to death without a reason, here is just an analogy, but it also illustrates a problem, since the fat man is such an image in his eyes, then in the eyes of Lao Yuan, Meng Xin doesn't know about their private friendship, maybe, Lao Yuan still thinks that he and the fat man are in a gang, and they can kill Meng Xin together at any time, and everything the fat man does in front of Meng Xin may just be a show.
The above may be a bit too much for Meng Xin to think, but in the environment of the nightmare platform, it is absolutely necessary to maintain a vigilant heart at all times.
Meng Xin recalled what Lao Yuan said, indeed, Meng Xin's purpose in doing this was to make it clear that he wanted to support Kaichunzi and the big mule, but he didn't disappoint Meng Xin, they really couldn't bear it anymore, and flew alone, as a senior tomb robber, who could still bear it when they clearly saw the ancient tomb in front of them?
It's like a beautiful woman who is naked, lying in front of an old perverted man who has been lustful but abstinent for more than ten years, can he handle it.
Of course, Meng Xin doesn't count, he has his own plans.
In fact, at first, Meng Xin thought it was simple, thinking that it was just the next tomb, as long as he had experience and brought the equipment he needed, then everything was over.
Until here, Meng Xin has not gotten rid of his previous habitual thinking, and treats it as a serious tomb.
But when he saw the secret hidden in the cloth, he had a deeper understanding of the danger of the tomb, and Meng Xin and the fat man, they relied on it, and they didn't particularly care about it, but once they used too many extraordinary abilities, their identities would undoubtedly be exposed.
Although the members are not limited by the nightmare platform in the use of their abilities, they just can't spread it in front of the public, and they are very free at other times, but the key is that Meng Xin is not prepared to let Haruko know the identity of the members.
Of course, these are only part of the reasons for this,
The most important thing is that the ancient tomb where the location in this map is located is likely to have been trodden by others, and at this time, their existence has become dispensable, because their experience at the bottom of the tomb is not needed at this time, but their ordinary status makes them become the oil bottles in the team.
But it was Meng Xin who called them up at the beginning, but at this time, he kicked them away, and he couldn't explain it, so Meng Xin chose to let them retreat by themselves, because he knew that with their personalities, they would definitely not play with him here without a purpose.
The fat man also put on a clear look, seeing this, the corners of Meng Xin's mouth rose slightly,
He does this, he can't completely think how selfish he is, from another point of view, this is not protecting them, following the three of them, Haruko's mule is estimated to be much more dangerous, and they act alone, when they encounter real danger, it is estimated that they will not die, don't look at their usual sworn appearance, the truth of flying separately when disaster is coming is better than anyone else.
