Chapter 1 A month ago

The old man walked ahead and led us to the river. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The morning sun in the sky gave a faint light, and the sky had already broken. The temperature has risen, and the number of people who go out to exercise in the early morning has also increased.

The old man sat on a rock by the river and lit a cigarette.

I said, "Can you show it to me again?" ”

The old man took out the box from his backpack with a cigarette in his mouth, opened it and said to me, "You said that this dead man's thing is yours, but it is unlucky." ”

Dead man's stuff? Could it be that he is a grave robber? Is this a ghost? But this is obviously my imperial chess!

Although Ah Zhi said that some tomb robbers would take advantage of the dark weapons taken out of the tomb to shoot in the ghost market at night, he was still shocked when he heard this.

I looked at the Emperor Taiqi in front of me and was stunned for a moment, Ah Zhi smiled and said to the old man: "If you were Tujili, you wouldn't do this." Since you have entered this profession, you must not be afraid of evil. Besides, how can you say that it must be a dead man's thing? I think you don't just want to make a move, right? ”

The old man sneered and asked, "What kind of stone is this?" ”

I was surprised and asked, "Don't you know?" ”

The old man frowned and said, "Why do you make me believe that this thing is yours?" ”

I glanced at Ah Zhi and said, "This stone is called Ditai Qi, it is my talisman, I have been carrying it since I was a child, but I accidentally lost it a few days ago." Where the hell did you get it? Still is... Who gave it to you? At this time, a trace of anticipation suddenly appeared in my heart.

The old man clenched his fist and read in his mouth: "Amulet..."

Ah Zhi said: "We don't expect you to return your goods to their original owners, since we met in that kind of place, you can make an offer." ”

The old man sneered and said, "Just now you said that you accidentally lost it a few days ago, then it is not your thing." Because I already got it a month ago. ”

A month ago? If it is really as he said, then this Emperor Chess is indeed not mine.

Is there a lot of imperial chess in this world? It turns out that it is not unique either.

Seeing that I didn't refute, Ah Zhi knew that he was right, so he said to the old man, "Then you can always tell us where you got it, right?" ”

The old man looked at me and said, "You said its amulet, then you should know better than me." ”

Grandpa said that he got it from a worldly master, and with what I know about him, even if I tell him today's events, he won't tell me the truth, not to mention that I can't tell him these things, once they know that I am doing these things and have lost my amulet, I will definitely be tied up at home by them.

"Actually, I don't know, someone else gave it to me."

The old man thought for a moment, got up and said, "Three days later, this time will still be this place, if we can still meet at that time, let's talk about it in detail." When the old man had finished speaking, he turned to leave.

I asked him, "Why do you want to say it three days later?" Say no now? ”

"Now? Maybe we won't see each other in three days, so what's the use of talking about it now? ”

"Why can't we see each other?"

The old man threw away his cigarette and said, "You will know when the time comes." ”

I chased him and continued to ask, but he ignored it, I angrily picked up a stone on the ground and wanted to throw him, but Ah Zhi stopped him, he walked up and said a few words to the old man, the old man nodded and left.

I walked over and asked Ah Zhi what he had said to him, and Ah Zhi said that he had told the old man the address of the drunken customer and said that we would be waiting for him at any time.

Ah Zhi took the stone from my hand, threw it into the river, and said, "The wind is so strong here, it's not a place to talk about it. ”

I said, "If we can meet again in three days, we will talk about it in detail?" What does that mean? Does he still want to be mysterious? ”

"Grave robbers are vigilant, but it's the first time I've met him like this, and the sooner he shoots, the better? Lin Min, is that thing really yours? ”

"If he's really the one who got it before, it's really not mine. But I did have one that looked exactly like this one before. ”

"But there are a lot of stones that look like them."

"It's not just an ordinary stone, it's different! Uncle Qing also knows that I had an emperor chess before. ”

"Okay, so what is this Emperor Chess? How come I haven't heard of it? ”

Finally, there is something that Ah Zhi doesn't know, I said: "Meng Yingjiu said that this was originally sacrificed to the gods, and people can wear it on their bodies to ward off evil spirits." ”

"Meng Yingjiu gave it to you?"

"No, when I was a child, my grandfather gave it to me."

"Then go back and ask your grandfather."

"He won't tell me, I don't know how many times I've asked since I was a child, he only said that it was a talisman, given to him by a master in the world, and he was willing to say another word."

Ah Zhi said thoughtfully: "A master in the world? ”

"Did you remember something?"

"Nope."

I sighed and said, "Well, that old man must have a secret!" ”

He hadn't said a few words. We'll wait and see what he says in three days, and I'll see what he's selling. ”

In the afternoon, I went back to my home, and wanted to ask about the emperor's chess, but my grandfather had been playing chess with the old man next door, and I didn't have a chance to ask, so I asked my parents, and they all said that they didn't know, so they went to busy their own affairs.

After thinking about it, I decided to go to my grandfather's room to find out if there would be any clues. For as long as I can remember, I was told not to go to my grandfather's room casually, and when I was a child, I said that there were a lot of his beloved treasures in my grandfather's room, and if I accidentally broke them, the end can be imagined. Later, when I grew up, I played with myself, and I didn't want to go to my grandfather's room.

Thinking of these at this time, I inexplicably felt that there might be some secret about the emperor's chess in my grandfather's room.

I went upstairs and quietly walked into my grandfather's room, and there was still "Chongqing X Newspaper" on the table by the window, but it was already a week ago. Is there anything special? Grandpa actually put it here, I picked it up and glanced at it, it's still the same, but I shouldn't be able to write articles like that anymore.

I didn't find anything special after turning a few pages, but there was a piece of news on the sub-page that shocked me: a mother and daughter were replaced with paranoia and then died suddenly after a week. The newspapers did not say it in detail, but only reminded the masses to pay attention to spiritual problems and pay attention to family harmony. I have a vague feeling that it shouldn't be so simple, it's written so simply, just because the truth can't be written, and this kind of thing has to be written when it spreads all over the streets.

Memories are endless, so let's care about what's in front of you. After putting the newspaper down as it was, I began to search my grandfather's room carefully.

Walking around the room, I didn't find anything special, only an old photo that had been yellowed under my grandfather's pillow. The photo shows my grandparents' dad when they were young, but there is a young man next to them, who looks quite like my dad, who is this?

Although it was that era, my grandparents still only gave birth to one father, and I haven't heard of my father's other brothers? But I can't take this photo and ask, otherwise I won't be able to explain it, so I put the photo back in its place, thinking that I should find a chance to ask next time I go home.

In vain, I chose to go home to sleep, and after hibernation, I began to sleep again.

Unexpectedly, before three days later, someone came to the door, but this time it was not the old man, but his son.

Two days later, in the afternoon, I was still writing unhurriedly in the office when I suddenly received a call from Ah Zhi saying that he had come. I was startled at the time, and my first reaction was that Meng Yingjiu was back, but he said that the old man who sold things.

When I arrived, it was a young man, and a look of surprise flashed across his face when he saw me.

Seeing that I was at a loss, Ah Zhi said, "This is his son." ”

I said, "It's hard to say, why didn't your father come by himself?" ”

The man took out a small box from his bag and opened it, and there was an emperor chess in it. He closed the box and said, "My father can't come, now you can believe it." ”

"Can't come? What does this mean? Didn't he say three days? ”

"We didn't expect that these would actually be reflected on him, and maybe I myself will die soon."

He said this, his expression did not change, but his eyes looked very desperate.

Ah Zhi closed the door of the store and said, "You can tell us the truth now, is there something going on?" ”

After that we sat down, and the man told us about their experiences over the past month. He called Huang Yajun and his father Huang Anhua are both tomb robbers, a month ago, they went to Xi'an to ship, and then got the gossip there, so they went to the northern foot of Lishan with another tomb robber to try their luck, and it turned out that they really found a strange underground palace.

The way into the dungeon was very dangerous, there were a lot of traps and hidden weapons, and another tomb robber unfortunately lost a finger, but there were a lot of gold and jade utensils in the dungeon, as well as bronze tools, and they still made a lot of money. But after returning from Xi'an, strange things began to happen at home.

Ah Zhi asked, "Could it be that there is something bad in the underground palace?" ”

Huang Yajun shook his head and said: "The reason why this underground palace is strange is that there are front yards, backyards and gardens in the entire underground palace, just like a luxurious palace for people to live in, but it is built underground. There was not a single coffin in the room of the dungeon, nor was there any written mark. ”

"But how is it possible to have a house built underground? If there is no light, how can people live? ”

Huang Yajun said: "But it's really not an ancient tomb, and it's not like a place of sacrifice, a place where there are no dead people, how can there be anything bad?" (To be continued.) )
