Chapter 14: The Four Gates
At the moment when the sudden situation happened, Liu Xiaoge suddenly felt that his body was getting more and more tired, and his body could no longer hold on, so he tilted his head and fell to the ground. In a daze, he heard a lot of strange sounds, as if it was talking, as if there was another quarrel, and even heard gunshots. In the end, he couldn't hear anything and fell into a deep coma.
Liu Xiaoge felt as if he was a little more awake in a daze, and when he saw the gray room, he suddenly felt that this room was so familiar, but his mind was still sullen and he couldn't remember it at all. Liu Xiaoge wanted to shake his head to sober himself up, but he did find that his body seemed to be unable to move.
Liu Xiaoge panicked, can't he be paralyzed if he can't move? I felt my body carefully again, and since I was unconscious, I didn't feel anything like it, as if this body was not my own. Liu Xiaoge couldn't suppress his emotions anymore, and hysterically wanted to control his body.
Even if you blink your eyelids, don't be paralyzed, I, Liu Xiaoge, am still young. At this moment, in the blurred field of vision, a figure walked in. The figure is very vague, but like this room, this person feels so familiar to Liu Xiaoge, but it is indeed so strange. Have a paradoxical feeling about the most familiar strangers?
As this person walked more and more, Liu Xiaoge became more and more panicked, and he thought of the old target group he saw before he fell unconscious. Could it be that he was arrested by them, abolished by them, and now he is going to kill people? Liu Xiaoge's thoughts were confused, and a nameless irritability and fear rose in his heart.
At this time, the figure had already walked to the side of the bed, stretched out his hand and stroked Liu Xiaoge's forehead. This hand was full of warmth, and with such a gentle stroke, Liu Xiaoge's restless mood actually calmed down. Suddenly the man spoke, and his voice was deep and gave a very reliable feeling.
The man said softly to Liu Xiaoge: "Xiaoge, I'm sorry. I'm leaving you again, this time, I don't know if I'll be able to come back. Before he finished speaking, there was an urging voice outside the door: "Liu Liren, hurry up, we don't have much time, and it's too late to grind." ”
Hearing Liu Liren's three words, Liu Xiaoge's whole head buzzed and he was stunned. This name has been sealed in the deepest part of Liu Xiaoge for a long, long time, except that his grandfather mentioned it before his deathbed, this is his father's name. Liu Xiaoge has been dependent on his grandfather since he can remember, and he has never met his parents.
If Grandpa hadn't mentioned this name to Liu Xiaoge before he died, maybe Liu Xiaoge would never have known that his father's name was Liu Liren. The man answered, stood up, and walked out, pausing as he reached the door. Suddenly sighed, and said to Liu Xiaoge: "Xiaoge, you have to grow up healthy, we will meet again." "With the dilapidated wooden door closed.
Liu Xiaoge was like being struck by lightning, his whole person trembled, and he sat up suddenly. Liu Xiaoge didn't know how long he had been sitting, and when he came back to his senses, he was cold. It turned out that he had a dream just now, Liu Xiaoge took a deep breath and adjusted his body. At this time, I felt that my whole body was extremely sore, and the range of movement was too great just now, and now as I regained consciousness, I couldn't help but wail a little.
Liu Xiaoge had just made a sound when he heard the sound of the wooden door being pushed open again. Liu Xiaoge turned his head with difficulty and saw that it was Li Xinwen who came in, he glanced at Liu Xiaoge in surprise, and walked straight to the bed. She said lightly: "You woke up in time, if you don't wake up, I guess I won't have time to say goodbye to you." Liu Xiaoge choked on a mouthful of water when he heard this, and coughed violently, this cough affected the wounds on his body, and Liu Xiaoge's facial expression in pain was about to cramp.
Li Xinwen still said calmly: "You shouldn't remember what happened after you passed out that day." It doesn't matter if you don't remember, it's not a good thing anyway. But now that you're awake, depending on how well your body has recovered, you probably can't count on what you can do, so take a good rest. ”
With that, he sighed, stood up and was about to leave. Liu Xiaoge hurriedly stopped Li Xinwen and said, "Where are you going?" And what happened at the end of that day? How long have I been in a coma? Liu Xiaoge, like Lian Zhucannon, asked a lot of questions at once.
Li Xinwen didn't answer any questions from Liu Xiaoge at all, and left the house quickly. Leaving Liu Xiaoge confused, Liu Xiaoge didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, and it was only when the door was opened again that Liu Xiaoge came back to his senses. turned his head to look, although he didn't see the whole picture of the person who came, Liu Xiaoge had already recognized who the person was. It's not someone else, it's really my own brother and brother, little monkey.
The little monkey tiptoed up to Liu Xiaoge, glanced at Liu Xiaoge, and said with a smile: "Little brother, are you awake?" How can you move or not? Liu Xiaoge moved his body with difficulty, although he was still a little sore, but it was much better than just now. The little monkey continued: "Since we can move, let's not grind. I understand their purpose, do you want to know? ”
Liu Xiaoge glanced at the little monkey angrily and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart." The little monkey leaned into Liu Xiaoge's ear and whispered: "The purpose of the old target and that woman seems to be to find an ancient tomb, which is said to be a big tomb." Big tomb, little brother, if we can take out one or two pieces from this, then it will be developed, and we may have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. Live a well-off life directly, get rid of poverty and become rich. ”
Liu Xiaoge stopped the little monkey's words and scolded: "You miser, I, Liu Xiaoge, really misunderstand you." Look at what I've become, you still only have money in your eyes, how many times have I almost died when I went to the grave this time. You don't have a backache when you stand and talk. ”
The little monkey saw that Liu Xiaoge was angry, and flattered: "Little brother, don't be angry, this time you really lost, and you were also honorably injured." But next time will be different from this time, this time we are not fully prepared, and we will naturally suffer in case of emergency. As long as we are well prepared, it will be safe and secure. Little brother, your skills in the tomb, one word is handsome, if you add another word, it is **. ”
Liu Xiaoge knew that the little monkey was deliberately currying favor with him, and interrupted: "Come on, I'm afraid of you, can't you?" The matter of going to the grave is hands-free, let's talk about what happened after I fell unconscious. The little monkey smiled mysteriously at Liu Xiaoge and said, "Little brother, don't worry, I'll show you two things first, which is guaranteed to open your eyes." With that, he took off his backpack from behind him, and took out a yellowed notebook from his backpack and handed it over.
Liu Xiaoge took the notebook and took a closer look at the signature on it, which was Professor Li's work record. Flipping through the work records, I found that the contents in them did not match Professor Li's current work at all. It turned out to be a notebook wrapped in a work record shell, and the things recorded in the notes were very cluttered.
Most of them are records of some tombs, and records of the process of touching gold and pouring down. If Liu Xiaoge hadn't recognized Professor Li's notes, he would probably have regarded Professor Li as a tomb robber. Because unless this kind of record is the tomb robber himself, no one else can make it so true by making up a false record.
The little monkey saw that Liu Xiaoge was so slow to flip through the book, and impatiently grabbed the notebook and flipped it quickly, intending to directly turn the page with important information to Liu Xiaoge. Under this flip, a worn-out note fell out of the notebook. Liu Xiaoge picked up the note and looked at the content on it curiously, it was the same as the notes I saw before, and it could be seen that this person's cultural level was very low, and his writing was still so disorganized.
However, Liu Xiaoge still saw very important information on this note, tomb robbing is a profession with a long history. It is also one of the few unseen professions that was once officially organized, around 1800 years ago. Cao Cao, the hero, formed two famous tomb robberies that have been passed down for thousands of years by Captain Touching Jin and Faqiu Zhonglang, and Yuling Lux and the mysterious mountain movers, forming the four official thieves.
It once had an incomparably glorious past, and strict norms. Later, the dynasty changed, and part of the four gates of officials and thieves gradually broke away from the control of the government, forming an independent inheritance model. The person who left this book is a senior captain who touches gold, and they rely on the token of touching gold as the standard of inheritance, and there is no master-apprentice relationship in the industry, only the relationship between peers and seniors.
The pattern of inheritance is more complex, and it is said that there is a very mysterious ritual to go through, and the number of each generation of Hataki Nakaro is very limited. However, these people will all have the same extraordinary abilities, and it is not said what the specific ability is. The Mountain Mover has always been the most idle organization, and the inheritance is said to rely on the bloodline inheritance, and the general outline of the dragon hunt.
In everything, the people in this faction have the ability to find the dragon point and look at the stars and distinguish the position above the golden school captain, and it is the most mysterious sect. As for Yuling Lux has always cooperated with the government, he is an out-and-out official lackey. Through this person's statement, it can be seen that he is very unkind to the Yuling faction, so he introduces very little.
The little monkey also smoked it at the moment, and when he saw the inheritance of the Captain of the Touching Gold, he became excited, took out the Touching Gold Talisman and shook it in front of Liu Xiaoge and said, "Little brother, if according to what is said here, I have the Touching Gold Talisman, then I am the Captain of the Touching Gold now." Liu Xiaoge said disdainfully: "What if it's to touch the gold captain, and it's not a glorious profession to touch the gold captain, what is there to show off." ”
The little monkey didn't pay attention to Liu Xiaoge's run, and turned to the back of the note, and Liu Xiaoge was stunned. Because there are a lot of mysterious things drawn on the back of this note, and there are text notes next to it. The first is a gold talisman, next to the gold talisman is a square inch size of an unknown material seal, signed by the Faqiu seal.
Next to the seal is a small flag signed by the Royal Ridge Order, and the last thing I saw was something that shocked Liu Xiaoge, and finally drew an ancient book, on which were written three big characters of the dragon hunt, and next to the ancient book was a strange shape of the pointer-like thing, famous as the dragon ruler. This dragon-seeking ruler Liu Xiaoge looks like he feels indescribably familiar, especially the patterns on it.
The little monkey also looked at the dragon ruler, pointed to the pattern and said, "Isn't the pattern on this little brother exactly the same as your wooden sword?" After being reminded by the little monkey, Liu Xiaoge hurriedly found his wooden sword, and the comparison was surprisingly consistent. It's as if his peachwood sword is part of the dragon-seeking ruler, can it be said.
Liu Xiaoge didn't dare to continue thinking about it, because the idea was too bold. After seeing the pattern of this dragon-seeking ruler, Liu Xiaoge suddenly had a sense of mission that was destined in the dark. This feeling made Liu Xiaoge a little at a loss, and the little monkey saw that Liu Xiaoge was in a daze again, so he simply stopped asking Liu Xiaoge to continue reading his notes.
Instead, he put the backpack on Liu Xiaoge's bedside table, and as soon as he opened the zipper, a cold air seeped out of the backpack, and the indoor temperature suddenly dropped by two degrees. As the zipper was fully opened, there was a large insulated box inside, and the little monkey quickly put on gloves and opened the insulated box.
The emerald green jade seal inside was revealed, and Liu Xiaoge knew that this thing was the ghost spirit seal taken out of the cave. The situation in the cave was urgent, and Liu Xiaoge didn't have time to take a closer look at this treasure, and now that this treasure appeared in front of him completely, Liu Xiaoge was also shocked and opened his mouth.
The little monkey cautiously stretched out his hand and took out the ghost spirit jade seal from the insulated box. Liu Xiaoge saw that the entire seal was square, and there were unknown symbols engraved underneath. The whole body is crystal clear, faintly emitting a blue-green glow. There are many human heads carved on the handle at the upper end of the seal, and there are dozens of them on the surface layer if you carefully calculate them, and each one is extremely detailed, and the expression is not repeated.
Liu Xiaoge couldn't help but exclaim: "Such fine workmanship, exquisite design, and such magical materials are really priceless." The little monkey smiled and said, "That's natural, but it's a pity that this thing is too precious, if you take it out and sell it directly, something will definitely happen, according to my guess." This thing must have something to do with that mysterious tomb, as long as we hold this thing, then the tomb must be indispensable to our share of the benefits. ”
Liu Xiaoge looked at such a precious treasure, and it was false to say that he was not impressed, although he still had many concerns in his heart, but now in front of such a priceless treasure, Liu Xiaoge couldn't refuse. Human beings will always have greed in their hearts, and when they are within reach of what they desire, greed will be infinitely magnified.
The worries in Liu Xiaoge's head at the moment, and even the pain on his body no longer seem to matter. At the moment when Liu Xiaoge was about to lose himself, Liu Xiaoge bit the tip of his tongue and said, "No, I won't do the tomb robbery." The little monkey couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard Liu Xiaoge's categorical refusal.
