Sixty years later, in the Huayu District of Sanzao Street in Zhuhai, I am lying on a wooden chair on the balcony basking in the gentle sun and enjoying the charming sea breeze.

Yes, my thoughts should still be clear, why, I have read my grandfather's notes many times, and I still can't see any clues. I'm really curious, grandpa, what happened to them in Ghost Head Ridge. By the way, my grandfather is the 'seventh brother', I wonder, why did they go to Guitouling, and what was their purpose? Why did you find it again? And how did you find it? And why don't the three people who went to the tomb with their grandfather know what to do? Did they escape later? What kind of tomb is that? What exactly did Grandpa take in the tomb ......?

This series of clues is like a mess of loose yarn, they are intertwined with each other, and it looks very cumbersome. And it's hard to sort them out. This is the most painful.

I'd love to know that. It's a pity that grandpa is the least detailed in this trip. The material is scattered. I would also like to meet this 'legendary' grandfather. It's a pity that my father said that his old man has soared.

I put away the old notebook in my hand. Get ready to go out for a walk.

The neighborhood is still the same as usual. Uncles should take a walk, and aunts should buy groceries...... I was walking down a stone staircase in the neighborhood when I came across a stranger-dressed stranger. According to my words, such people will stay away when they see me.

Unexpectedly, he was about to bump into him.

"Little brother...... You wait! ”

I looked back and saw that there was no one. On this road, just me and him, then the 'little brother' in his mouth should be me.

"Is there anything wrong with you?" I said lukewarmly.

The man didn't care, I don't know if it's because he's used to it! Or something else. "I have something to say to you."

"We don't know each other." I stared at him. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the man's face clearly, and this wide high-necked trench coat partially covered it

His cheeks, and his old cap on his head, and his dark sunglasses, had told me that it was obviously impossible for me to recognize him. His voice was so hoarse that I couldn't guess my approximate age.

"Your name is Lin Xuan, right?" There was silence for a few seconds, and a gentle, hoarse voice wafted out.

"Are you ......?" I looked at him with a puzzled look on my face. At the same time, I moved back a few inches, because with my status as an otaku, few people would be able to recognize me. And this kind of person can know me, then...... I'm vigilant.

The man didn't say anything, but gestured to a corner on the side of the stone steps. Apparently signaling me to go over and say, that's no one. I'm not stupid, and I naturally understand God's past.

"Now it's time to tell who you are, right?"

"Me? You don't know! You should be Lin Changtian's little nephew! "The man buried most of his cheeks in his high-necked trench coat, so I couldn't get a glimpse of his expression at the moment.

"You're a friend of his old man?" I was very unhappy with his answer, but I couldn't express it. "If you are looking for my fifth uncle, hehe, you are looking for the wrong person! It's true that I'm his nephew, but I don't know where he is. ”

To my surprise, he shook his head. This makes me unbelievable! He knows my fifth uncle, but he is not his friend, so why do you mention me and his old man's name one after another? At this moment, I have a feeling that the monk is confused, and the conversation between the two of us is more like answering questions.

The man straightened the crooked cap in the wind, and then said hoarsely, "I'm not looking for him!" I'm looking for you! ”

An unexpected sentence made my face change slightly! I swear to God, this is definitely the first time I've seen this person, and to put it bluntly, I haven't seen him once, because he covers his head to his feet tightly from beginning to end. "Let's get straight to the point!" I said it very simply, and I didn't want to waste more time with him.

"Since it is a descendant of Lin Lao, then, it should be, tsk......" This person stood in place and said a few words to himself, what is it, I didn't hear clearly. I'll show you something. As he spoke, his mouth tilted slightly upward. I knew he was playing mystery with me.

I nodded, signaling yes.

Then we moved a little further and stopped under a more secluded tree.

The man in the trench coat wearing sunglasses suddenly put his right hand into his wide trench coat, shook his head, looked back and forth, and found that there was no one, so he took out his arm. However, the difference is that the man in the trench coat has an abrupt purple and black box in his wide hand.

I stared curiously, and found that although the color of this box was purple and black, it gave people a dull feeling, and some of the edges were painted with some ancient flower symbols, which were somewhat similar to the box inscription. This is not an ordinary box, and the smell and appearance of the box do not look like modern products, but from ancient times!

So, I'm really curious. I studied some historical documents and other things in college, and I was interested in studying all the complicated things of ancient times.

I consciously didn't ask a question, waiting for the other person to speak.

"I heard you're interested in antiques. It just so happens that this one in my hand is, you take it to study and see if you can crack its secrets. ”

With that, he handed the purple and black box in his hand to mine. I should have rejected something of unknown origin, but I'm really interested in it! I put the box away and asked, "Is there anything in there?" ”

Although I accept it, there are some things that I still have to figure out first.

"I don't know."

"What? I don't know? ”

I suddenly thought of something, picked up the box, took a closer look, only to find that the box was sealed tight, could not be opened, there was a keyhole in the middle, obviously the man in the trench coat did not have a key, but he wanted to open it very much, so he found me and wanted me to help him decipher the secret on the box.

I now understand what he was looking for me, and he gave me the box so confidently because he knew that I couldn't have the key to the box.

"Put you here first, and when you crack it, I'll come to you! After cracking, I'll give you some of the things you want too. With a few words, the man in the trench coat left without looking back.

My eyes were still on the box in my hand, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that the man in the trench coat had disappeared, and if I hadn't had the box in my hand, I would have really wondered if this person had really appeared.

I held the purple and black box tightly in my hand, and the cat's eyes looked around to see if there were any suspicious people, and when I found that there were none, I took a step and ran towards the house like a flying life.

I look like an upstart who suddenly has an inexplicable extra million cash in my hand, and I don't know what to do for a while, so I can only run home with this million cash.

As soon as I got home, I quickly locked the door, closed the window, and closed the curtains, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I poured myself a glass of water, took a big sip, and walked into my room.

By the way, during the long vacation, I now went to Zhuhai, Guangdong Province to look for a job, and this two-bedroom suite was rented by my sister for me.

Now that the work has not been confirmed, I will come here first, because my sister lives here. Mom and Dad are in their hometown of Zhejiang. My sister lives in Hongyana. So now I'm living alone.

Sitting on the bed, I pulled out the purple and black box. At the same time, there are also a lot of tools around the area, including literature and books, as well as microscopes, magnifying glasses, utility knives, and many other things. Sweat! It really doesn't look like a bed!

I started with the box itself. I used a lot of information to determine that the box was carved from rosewood, and of course there were other materials that I can't say for the time being.

I used the simplest but most common method.

Rub it lightly on the box with an alcohol cotton ball, and sure enough, the white cotton ball turns purplish-red. This is evidence of rosewood. Of course, you can also scrape a little wood dust from the wood and soak it in wine, if there are blood-red silk strips at the end of the crumbs, it is red sandalwood.

The old red sandalwood does not fade when soaked in water, and it will fall off as soon as the color is rubbed; The color of the new red sandalwood fades after being soaked in water, and the color does not fade when it is marked. But I wouldn't be stupid enough to do this, not to mention that this second person has a cumbersome method, and you dare to scrape this box? It may be a cultural relic! And rosewood has been considered one of the most precious woods since ancient times!

It has been recorded in the Eastern Han Dynasty literature, and I used to see it when I was in college. Remember, yes, the red sandalwood is precious to the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people are not qualified to use it, generally only those royal princesses, nobles can use it.

I studied the flower charm on the box for a long time, and determined that this box should be from the Ming Dynasty. After the Qing Dynasty, the only remaining rosewood is said to have been taken by Yuan Shikai to decorate the Old Summer Palace, but the result is still not passed down, with a fire and the Old Summer Palace buried in the sea of fire to the present, the red sandalwood is still very precious.

Not to mention that the box in my hand is from the era of the Ming Dynasty. I couldn't wait for the contents of the box.

Looking at this keyhole, I can only sigh helplessly!

took out the mobile phone in his pocket and took a dozen shots of the front and back of the box. Finally, I adjusted it to the maximum and photographed the keyhole of the red sandalwood box. I really can't do it, so I'll go to the street tomorrow and see if I can get a key from the key stall.

Before you know it, the clear blue sky has begun to be covered by a dark canopy of yellow. The scorching sun was slowly falling in the sky, and gradually, the sky was already darkening.

The scene is most beautiful in the coastal area when the sun sets. The sea water at sunset reflects the color of the mini, and the rolling waves seem to be covered with a layer of gold powder. Splashing with a bang, the sky is shaking with golden foam...... Very moving.

I couldn't get bored, so I buried the box in the futon and went and lifted the curtains a little and left the windows ajar.

The sharp eyes penetrated, and I saw that the sea water was crashing against the reef on the shore at a thousand meters in front of me. Looking at the crowd frolicking on the beach, it dawned on me that my stomach was already sounding a brass horn in protest.

I usually go out to eat alone! Occasionally, I would go to my sister's place to eat.

Although this is a coastal area, there are many people from other places! Therefore, there are still some restaurants such as Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine in the surrounding area.

I walked into a Sichuan restaurant and ordered a bowl of spicy hot and sour noodles. This restaurant is still relatively affordable, and the prices are not ridiculously expensive. There is still a lot of traffic every day, especially at night, and the whole road is endless. Yes, I should be glad that there is still a 'Jilin University' here.

After waiting for a while, my bowl of hot and sour noodles finally came up. Looking at the bubbles rolling in the casserole, the saliva in my stomach was a surge. I picked up the chopsticks and ate them. Eating and eating, I secretly screamed that it was not good.

Such a big thing happened today, I didn't even tell the fifth uncle.

So I hurriedly solved the bowl of hot and sour noodles, and quickly ran home.

Back at home, it was really dark. There was a solemn black everywhere.

I took out my phone and pointed it at Uncle Five's number. Sent him a message. Give him a rough account of what he encountered today. turned on the TV, and all I thought about was the man in the trench coat and the red sandalwood box.

After waiting for a long time, the fifth uncle never replied to my text message. I reclined on the bed and fell asleep before I knew it.

I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up by the vibrating prompt of the letter from my phone. I woke up in a daze and found that the TV was still on, but the blue screen had already begun. When I picked up the phone, I saw that it was sent by the fifth uncle. Look at the time, damn, 3:07:09 a.m. I really wanted to vomit blood ****** send it back in the middle of the night.

When I opened the message, I was stunned.

The eyes were open like two bulging spheres.

The content of the information made me feel a little creepy, and goosebumps came out all over my body.

Suddenly, a cool breeze hit me, causing my back to tremble. Cold sweat flowed unconsciously, and when I looked back, I found that the window that was opened at dusk was not closed, and the curtains were constantly dancing in the wind, like a dead soul fluttering with a bodyless robe roaring.

I shuddered, picked up my phone and made sure the message was intended.

His eyes looked directly at the darkness outside the window, and he felt an indescribable fear.
