Chapter 38: The Mystery of the Triangular Nugget
Looking at the handwriting on the circular groove in the center, I was stunned on the spot, because the handwriting was very similar to my own, which can be said to be exactly the same. Now, I am sure that I have been here and know some secrets about this triangular nugget.
In an instant, there were many secrets in me. What was surprising was that the first thought in my mind at this moment was, am I Qin Xiaoke? Why is it that the tomb of an ancientman is so widely involved, and finally it spreads to himself.
Realizing that I hadn't recovered from my surprise, Li Yu first recovered the triangular gold nugget from the ground, then shook his hand in front of my eyes, and said lightly: "Everyone has a little secret, Xiao Ke, it seems that you must have had an extraordinary experience before." What I didn't expect was that you had been here, and I didn't even know what you had done before."
Li Yu's gaze was obviously trying to get me to answer something. However, I can only remember things within three years, and the memory in my mind is only at the stage of college, except for vacation travel, I have not done anything unbelievable. Seeing that I didn't speak, Li Yu showed a trace of disappointment in his eyes and walked straight forward.
The fat man walked over, patted me on the shoulder, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Ke, you will never be able to catch up with a girl like this." Even if you don't know some things, it's better than not saying them", looking at the figure of the two of them drifting apart, thinking of what Li Yu said before, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, that is, every vacation in the university, my uncle will take me to the same place by himself. Maybe there's something wrong with it.
Thinking of this, I ran straight forward, watched the two of them hurriedly walk to the next hole, and hurriedly stopped, "I thought of a strange thing."
In just one sentence, it immediately attracted Li Yu and the fat man. Li Yu's gaze suddenly softened, and my mind slowly echoed as I continued: "Every summer vacation at the university, my uncle would take me to the same place, which was a small county town in Sichuan, where there was an old village. Due to the remote location, there are no other figures except for some resident old people, and it looks unusually deserted."
When I was done, I couldn't help but think of the old days, my uncle always liked to carry a backpack full of all kinds of utensils, walking back and forth in the stockade, and I followed behind, and every time I wanted to speak, I always swallowed the words again. After Li Yu and the fat man heard my words, they each frowned, "Zhao Chuan, that is, your uncle." As far as I have heard, he is a shrewd and capable man, and has been involved in the tomb raiding industry since he was seventeen years old. There must be some unique reason why he did it. Xiao Ke, when this matter is over, you lead the way, and I will go with you to take a look" Li Yu's face looked very energetic, and after speaking, he didn't hear whether I agreed or not, and the whole person took the lead in walking towards the front. The fat man was speechless, and looked at me with a smile you knowing, "The kid has a future, the trick I taught you just now will be used immediately."
"Is there one?" I asked myself like this in my heart, seeing that the two of them were no longer in sight, I hurriedly followed.
At present, the four triangular gold nuggets have been spliced together into one, and the circular groove exposed in the center is likely to be in the "fire layer" that we are about to face. According to Li Yu's words, each layer is a life of nine deaths, and in retrospect, what I experienced before was really a bit of a feeling of the rest of my life after death.
As soon as I entered the entrance of the cave, a burning sensation hit my face, and the temperature was obviously much higher than outside. Directly in front of us were piles of red stones, the size of goose eggs. I've seen it in books, it's a flint from Yunnan, which was used to smelt metals in the old days, and according to today's parlance, it has the effect of an accelerant. I tried to put my hand on it, and there was a warm, soft feeling on the flint.
In addition to the striking flint, in front of us are two long candlesticks, each of which is made of metal and holds a white candle more than ten meters high.
Look! The fat man walked up to a wall, pointed at the wall with his big hand, and exclaimed. As I walked along, I saw that there were many murals on the walls, and they looked like they were connected to each other.
The first mural depicts a large raised mountain, with a figure standing on top of it, holding a stone that appears to be golden. Then the second was the golden stone, which was placed in a place where metal was smelted, and four or five old men with long beards gathered around the table, as if discussing something.
…………
Looking down one by one, I was surprised to find that these murals show the origin of the triangle, that is, the process of its manufacture. In this way, it is clear what exactly will be placed in the groove in the center. Thinking of this, the three of us couldn't help but speed up our pace, and hurried along the wall, and when we reached the back, we were surprised to find that the last remaining mural was covered with knife marks, and there was no trace of it.
His gaze rests unnaturally on the penultimate picture. There are only two candlesticks that we see now, and nothing else is marked. The clue seems to be broken at this moment, what exactly does the two candlesticks imply?
I froze and meditated. The fat man simply sat on the ground and rested. Li Yu placed the spliced triangular gold nuggets horizontally on his chest, staring at the triangular gold nuggets for a while, and then moving them to the candlestick. Five minutes passed, and I sat side by side with the fat man, only to hear Li Yu's words, "I can only gamble", and as he spoke, he walked towards me and the fat man, and suddenly stopped in front of the fat man, "Borrow your lighter for use."
The fat man was stunned for a moment, then moved his body to the other side, glanced to the side, and shouted: "My lighters have all been lost to you, how can there be any lighters, no!" There is no one left."
After hearing the fat man's words, Li Yu paused for a few seconds, and then picked up his hand and was about to touch the fat man, and the frightened fat man immediately stood up, "I really want to squeeze the fat man and me!" There are only a few of them, and now there is only the last one left, you know this, don't break it for me", said the fat man reluctantly took it out of his arms, and suddenly an extra bronze lighter came out of his hand.
Thank you! Li Yu took the lighter, beckoned to me, and then walked straight towards the candlestick, and said to me from time to time: "Xiao Ke, I will light the candlestick in a while, and you tilt the candlestick to ensure that every drop of candle oil that falls will fall into the groove in the middle of the triangular gold nugget."
Could it be that Li Yu wanted to fill that groove with the candle oil of these candles? It's crazy. Seeing that Li Yu's eyes were very resolute, I didn't want to block it too much, so I hurriedly carried the candlestick, which was really not ordinary, and was busy asking the fat man for help. When the fat man saw that we seemed to have discovered something, he immediately came to his senses, and put his two hands on the candlestick, which suddenly saved me most of my strength.
With the sound of the lighter being pressed down, the candle was suddenly lit. The fat man and I carefully tilted the candlestick to prevent the candle from falling off. As time passed, the candle oil slowly soaked into the grooves. When I was about to soak up, I signaled if I wanted to stop, and Li Yu hurriedly said: "Don't stop, let the candle oil melt out."
Amazing scenes began to happen.
The spilled candle oil doesn't stick to the triangular gold nugget as we thought. Instead, it slowly spread out towards the periphery, and suddenly there was some more handwriting on the original white and flawless surface. Gradually, the groove also condensed into a round white lump.
I looked at it, and the handwriting and the strange frescoes were not readable at all. If Uncle Tang was here, maybe he would have understood. Just when we hadn't looked for long, there was a sudden sound at the exit ahead.
Who! Li Yu cautiously took out his pistol and faced the exit, and then saw a somewhat embarrassed voice and shadow gradually walking out. (To be continued.) )
