Chapter 1: Dark Blood Lotus
I looked inside and saw that the space was very small, with only room for one thumb. There is a black flower in the www.biquge.info of the pen, and judging from the texture, it is black copper. But the shape of this flower is very strange, and it is not a flower at all. Almost all the petals are twisted with infinite exaggeration.
I said in my heart that it would be a pity to put this bird thing in such a delicate box. Because of the origin of the box, I still put the flower in my pocket, thinking that one day I would take it to the antique shop to see, maybe it would be a treasure.
In the days that followed, I returned to the campus life of 3.1 point, and every day was ordinary and fulfilling. But I know that in some corners of the world, there are still many secrets that we can't reach.
This kind of life lasted until the summer vacation. One day in mid-July, Ah K, who had always been lively, came to the orphanage to look for me. When I saw his demeanor, I thought it was funny, so I quipped, "What, I was dumped again?" ”
Ah K's hanging head was raised suddenly, his eyes were a little moist, and he muttered, "Teacher Zhou, let's go." ”
I said I would just leave, and I don't need to be so sad, right? Didn't the teacher declare early retirement after the end of the semester this week? What's all the fuss about? But looking at Ah K's expression, it seems that there is more than just "leaving", so I wondered: "Could it be that Mr. Zhou has another hidden reason for retirement?" ”
Ah K suddenly pounced and pressed my shoulders with both hands, and his eyes were red and terrible: "You still don't understand?" Teacher Zhou, let's go. After a pause, he suddenly felt a little deflated, then let go of me, and spread it on the ground: "I found it last night, in the apartment he rented, with a big cut in his throat, and the blood was almost dry. ”
"What?" I was shocked, this week's teacher was fine a few days ago, how could this sudden happen: "Did you call the police?" What did the police say? ”
Ah K sneered and said to himself: "The house was turned into a mess, but the valuables and cash were not taken away. Police suspect that this is a case of revenge homicide, and the case is currently being further processed. “
I couldn't explain what I heard, this week, the teacher is usually very easy-going, how can he make enemies with others? Even if it's a feud, there's no need to put people to death, right? Could there be something strange about this?
Sure enough, Ah K's next words confirmed my suspicions. "I don't think it's that simple," he said. As early as three days ago, Mr. Zhou contacted me and handed me a box, and when he left, he told me that if he had an accident, he must hand over the box to you. ”
I was suddenly a little stunned, this week the teacher clearly knew that someone was going to kill him, but why didn't he run away or seek police protection? So he asked, "What box?" ”
From his shoulder bag, K took out a very ordinary wooden box, the size of a cigarette case, with a buckle on it. I opened the clasp, and there was a black copper flower in it.
This flower, I am familiar with it very well, there is one in the purple gold box, I took out the flower in my pocket, Ah K was also shocked on the spot: "Dark Blood Lotus!" ”
"What?" I was almost so shocked that I couldn't close my mouth, "You said this flower is called the Dark Blood Lotus?" ”
The let out a "hmm", not seeming to be much interested, and then took out a letter from his backpack and said, "Teacher Zhou gave it to you." ”
I opened the letter and when I saw the contents, I was immediately stunned, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would have such a side. The general meaning of the letter is as follows:
Thirty years ago, Zhou Hongru, who had not yet become a teacher, got mixed up with a group of people. This group of people is very strange, sleeping during the day and making a living at night, and in the end, Zhou Hongru found out that this group of people is actually a group of tomb robbers.
But now that he was on the thief ship, he couldn't get out for a while. The head of the other party's surname Yang said that as long as he got one thing, he would let him go. Therefore, Zhou Hongru had to disguise himself as someone else and blend into the team of another group of tomb robbers.
They later went to a boat coffin tomb and finally got it, but things took a strange turn, and four of the eight people who entered the tomb disappeared inexplicably. It wasn't until I came out that I found that those people had died outside the tomb.
Through the death of the tomb robber, Zhou Hongru realized that things were not so simple, and later did not hand over the things to the head surnamed Yang, but hid them privately, and began to wander in the major tombs in disguise.
It wasn't until seventeen years ago that Zhou Hongru finally discovered the key to the stolen things in a suspicious mound in Xiou, but because of this, he had to remain silent for the rest of his life.
And the Dark Blood Lotus is the key object to unlock.
At the end of the letter, Mr. Zhou also emphasized that the matter of Qingqing Mountain Cave was also his helpless move. As for Ah K, he was just a runaway and didn't know anything.
After reading the letter, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and I couldn't imagine that this Chu Chu gentleman, Teacher Zhou Hongru, turned out to be a tomb robber. What is even more unexpected is that the reason why I fell into all this is because of his way.
I chewed on the information in these words repeatedly, and suddenly found a key, could it be that 17 years ago, this week Hongru had already entered the Xiou Ancient Tomb? And the inscription in the diary that Qiu Yi showed me was also 17 years ago.
This is definitely not a coincidence, it seems that the Xiou Tomb is indeed weird. It's just that now it's collapsed, and it's impossible to find a clue. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou left a phone number, and the owner who wanted to call should know something.
When I answered the call, I was stunned that the phone was from the front desk of a nightclub. This completely overturned my guess, could it be that Mr. Zhou, left the wrong phone number? When I was depressed and about to hang up, a female voice suddenly came: "Excuse me, is it Mr. Enron?" ”
I immediately became vigilant, how could this man know about me? "Who are you?" I asked.
The other party was a little impatient, said "eight o'clock in the evening", "snapped", and hung up the phone.
I was very depressed, if it weren't for the phone call left by Teacher Zhou, I would definitely not have birded her. At eight o'clock in the evening, I went to the gate of the orphanage and dialed the number again, but I didn't realize that the phone was no longer available. Just when I was confused, a BMW braked sharply and stopped less than a meter on my right.
I was wondering when the windows of the BMW rolled down and a woman with a nice face said, "Let's go." ”
Let's go? Call me? Peach blossom luck? I was in disbelief for a moment and said, "That's not good, right?" ”
The other party suddenly raised his eyebrows: "What, don't you want to know the origin of the Dark Blood Lotus?" ”
