The Mystery of the West Ridge Chapter 2 An Unsent Letter

It clearly says,

Fawn:

When you read this letter, I was relieved that at least you were alive. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This shows that your father and I are not wrong, and you have the ability to pick up the burden of the family and find answers to the secrets that have plagued us for thousands of years. It's our luck and yours.

However, you are unfortunate child.

Our five surnames, namely deer, dragon, bear, tiger and horse, are often ridiculed by archaeologists as touching gold, moving mountains, unloading mountains, hair mounds, and being able to reach the five gates, in fact, we are not only the so-called tomb robbers in their mouths, but also have a way to steal, perhaps our persistence is the true meaning of archaeology.

If it is said that the thief has spent thousands of years chasing the answer he wants to know for the ideal in his heart, then this matter must be ridiculous.

However, if we have exhausted all the means we can think of to find and protect the treasures handed down from our ancestors, it must be a matter of righteousness.

I feel guilty for embroiling your generation, especially you, in this endless cycle of samsara.

However, you are the descendants of the five clans, you, Long Jinchu, Xiong Da Li, Ma Yang Chuan, and Tiger Attack Forest, I have no other choice at all, and in the absence of Ma Ji Chuan and Tiger Roaring Forest, I can only let Long Jinchu lead you to find the truth we need to know in front of them.

Seeing these familiar or unfamiliar names, you must be able to see that in the names of the five ethnic groups of your generation, there is a "wood" character involved.

I see a strange power in you. That's right, you will be the leader of this generation of five tribes, you will bravely shoulder the mission of this generation of five tribes, you will lead this generation of five tribes to a farther place, even if it is full of thorns, even if there are poor mountains and bad waters, even if there are countless dangers waiting for you, you must persevere.

The growth of men is often forced into a situation where there is no way out.

I'm really happy that this is done now, but it should be over here.

When you read this letter, it also means that your father and I are no longer suitable to appear in this world.

Where we went, I want to say, but I can't say, because this matter is not just as simple as we imagined, it involves people and things that are much more complicated than you think.

In other words, it's not simply known only to the five tribes.

Do you want to know what happened to us when we were young for treasure hunting?

Thirty years ago, because there was no way to live, my brother and your father's generation of five clans were making buns in the Jiangnan area.

In order to make a living, they found the barbarian tomb in the caves around Nanjing according to the silver search tips left by their ancestors, and then a group of five people ventured down, and as a result, you all know, the dead and the wounded, except for your father who came out alive from it, the rest of the people are nowhere to be found, and I will not be able to talk about the later things.

Do you see the picture behind me? It's the top one in the cabinet, you take the picture down, and you open the photo frame, and there's what you want.

There are a few more things that I must tell you as well.

In this generation, I should have taken on the responsibility of the leader of the five clans as a matter of course, but I backed down. It's because I didn't take on my mission, or because I'm afraid of death, and now I'm worse than dead. Now I'm relieved.

Retreat, it's not that there is no need to pay a price, my life is like pinning on the body of a walking corpse, aimlessly hesitating to this day, knowing that the moment I saw you, I made up my mind to do something meaningful.

But unfortunately, our time together was so short that it ended in a hurry before I could remember your face in my mind.

In the past 30 years, I have lost a lot of things, you must not go my old way again, decide what is good, just let it go! I believe that your generation can unlock the secrets that have plagued us for thousands of years, and let this end here, and let all this and my cowardice be buried deep underground.

Long Zhen Niche is a masterpiece.

I read the whole letter carefully, and sighed for a long time, "Fate! "I don't know what to say.

His letter is more apt than addressed to me as to himself.

Suddenly, my body, mind, and spirit were all empty, and I didn't know what to do next, what was right and what was wrong. It's like the anger of Long Hibiscus Chu who was still full of righteous indignation just now, and suddenly disappeared again.

I lost my voice for a while, because my whole body was already stiff, and I didn't have the heart to think about how I could react, if it weren't for the wind outside the window blowing the curtains, maybe such a stiff posture would have lasted all afternoon.

I suddenly turned around and rummaged through the photos mentioned in the letter in the cabinet behind me.

I seriously turned the cabinet upside down, but I couldn't find any trace of the photo.

I thought to myself, it is impossible for Long Zhenyan to lie to me, since he has told me so many things seriously, there is no reason to make up another pit for me to drill, maybe this photo is an extremely important thing, and he is very likely to put it in a hidden place.

I followed this line of thought, and soon found a mezzanine on the top floor of the cabinet.

The mezzanine was made so finely that it didn't look like an ordinary carpenter, but it looked like a craftsman in an archaeological institute specializing in the restoration of wooden artifacts.

Presumably this is the mezzanine made by Long Zhengong himself.

The sandwich is tightly knit and forms a whole cabinet body, and if you want to open it, you can only open it by inserting it with a thin piece as thin as a hair, and gently pulling it outward.

This craft was learned from the Mawangdui Han Tomb, when this cheap and efficient method was invented in order to distribute bamboo slips, and ordinary archaeologists have never seen it at all.

Fortunately, I like to delve into some archaeological anecdotes, otherwise, I would definitely think that Long Zhengong is amusing me.

Stuff taken out! It is an old yellowed photograph, at first glance, it looks like a yellowed piece of paper, but fortunately, the portraits on it are complete and well preserved.

I rubbed my eyes, trying to get a closer look at what was being photographed.

When I looked closely at the photo, it was a snow-capped mountain, a bit like the Himalayas, but obviously not as high as the roof of the world.

There were a few people squatting at the foot of the mountain, because it was a black and white photo, and it was tightly wrapped, I couldn't tell who it was, but when my eyes swept behind them, I was instantly shocked into a cold sweat, and I was trembling with fright.

Behind that, there was clearly an animal standing that was not human.

From the point of view of the body, it looks like a human, but it is covered in hair, bared teeth, and looks to be three meters tall.

Because of the sudden surprise, I still didn't hold the frame steady, and it fell to the ground at a speed of free fall.

The whole photo frame was shattered, and I didn't have time to blame myself, so I quickly bent down to pick up the photo, for fear that something would go wrong with the photo, then I would really become a family sinner.

OK! There was a false alarm, but the photos are still intact. But what I didn't expect was that there was a secret inside the frame.

There is a small space at the back of the photo, which is not easy to find if it is not broken, and it is filled with a lot of foam, which seems to be many years old.

The foam had all deteriorated and yellowed, and in the middle of this mass of things, a cylindrical thing wrapped in yellow cloth, my curiosity was ignited again.
