I and the fat man unexpectedly all the way to the foot of Ninglang Mountain in Yunnan, I urged the fat man who woke up to hurry up and get off the luggage, but he saw the inn at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help but worry that this is a black shop.

I replied to him, "What do you know, it is now fashionable to open inns in places near mountains and rivers, this is called mood, you don't understand." Besides, do you think the owner here is Sun Erniang! Don't look at it, you look like Wu Song there. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and grab your luggage, go to the inn to get something to fill your stomach first. ”

As soon as the fat man heard that he was going to eat, he immediately came to his senses, and he didn't talk nonsense, and began to carry his luggage and get out of the car. After getting off the car, I found that the inn was not in front of me, but was surrounded by a forest, and it was necessary to walk a small path hidden in the low forest to the mountain, such a remote place, there were several small shops next to it.

Most of the people on the bus are people from the mountain village, they don't stop to rest, and begin to walk into the mountains with stars and moons, anyway, they are familiar with the road, and they are used to walking the mountain road at night to rush home. The two of us and the remaining tourists all stayed in the inn first, planning to clear the road tomorrow during the day, and then go through the mountains to the Yijiazhai halfway up the mountain.

The inn is very clean, and the waiters are also very enthusiastic, but the fat man is too unparticular about eating, and the rice is hard-hearted. I explained to him, "The altitude here is high, the water boils at 70 or 80 degrees, and the rice is not cooked, so you just eat it, and if you go deep into the mountains, it is still a question of whether you can eat." ”

After the fat man finished eating, he picked his teeth and Kan Dashan, a waitress wearing ethnic minority costumes next to him, said that the city of Beijing was bustling and lively, and it was a hundred times stronger than the mountain where birds don't, and asked them if they wanted to go with him to see and see.

I hurriedly stopped the fat man who was talking and said to him: "Be careful that people will call the police and arrest you as a human trafficker, and I have no money to ransom you." ”

The fat man was disturbed by me, and waved his hand impatiently and said to me, "Okay, you go back to the house first, and I'll go out for a while." ”

I asked him uneasily, "What are you doing when you don't go back to your room, and what do you want to get moths?" ”

The fat man smiled and said, "I'm going into the mountain tomorrow, I'll go out and buy something to eat." ”

I immediately stopped: "Didn't you already bring bread and compressed biscuits, what else to buy?" We have important tasks on our bodies, so don't get me into trouble before we go into the mountains. After saying this, I felt a little wrong, and immediately added: "Don't cause trouble for me when you enter the mountain, listen to my command." ”

The fat man nodded reluctantly, then turned around and began to walk out, without looking back, and said, "I'll go buy some jerky and take it with me, I don't eat meat for a day, and I'm uncomfortable all over my body." ”

I had no choice but to look at his back and instruct: "Go and come back quickly, but don't make trouble." ”

I went back to my room at the inn, and while I was worried that the fat man would cause trouble, I opened my luggage and began to organize the things I would bring with me when I entered the mountain tomorrow. As a result, I was surprised to find that there was an unfamiliar baggage in my luggage. I thought: Could it be that the fat man was sleepy-eyed just now and took someone else's luggage back by mistake. In case something important, the owner has to be in a hurry to get angry. In order to find the owner of the lost item, I immediately opened the baggage to see if I could contact the owner through the items in the guò.

As a result, when I opened the bag and saw what was exposed, I suddenly trembled my hands and picked up the contents of the bag.

In my hand was a complete sheepskin, which was full of some kind of ancient script, such as the Zhou script of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. But when they are connected, they do not express a coherent and complete meaning, and they are completely incomprehensible. It's not that I'm not good at learning, it's that the ancient Chinese are too difficult to understand, and often the same ancient word has multiple interpretations, which is used here as a noun, used elsewhere as a verb, and sometimes just a verbal particle. Therefore, in addition to solid professional knowledge, it is also necessary to understand the history of the time, and then combine it with some ancient documents and records to achieve accurate literal translation. However, some ancient texts still cannot be translated literally in today's words, and can only be understood, that is, what Confucius said, "Books are not exhaustive, words are not exhaustive".

I carefully read the words on the parchment from beginning to end, and it felt like some kind of detailed record of literature. This piece of sheepskin should be the two halves of the golden statue that have been glued together. I put down the sheepskin and saw that there were still a few pages in the bag, and a bunch of graphics and words were densely scribbled on it, which was a decipherment of the words on the sheepskin, as well as a description of the origin. I thought to myself that I was really in such a hurry that I had wasted all my efforts, and that the translated content was already ready here, but it should be practiced, so as not to use it for a long time and lose my memory.

On several pages of paper, the history of this sheepskin is described in detail. It turned out that the ancestor of the Chen family in Chenyu Village got a secret map of the Spring and Autumn Period by chance, which recorded a big secret in detail, that is, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Song Xiang, the real life experience. The current history records that King Xiang of the Song Dynasty was hegemonic in 642 AD, but in fact, he was completely incompetent and incompetent, and he was not really a veritable overlord. When the Song, Qi and Chu were in the alliance, he was eager for quick success and wanted to be the leader of the alliance. As a result, he was detained by King Chu Cheng and then released, and he talked about benevolence and righteousness, but in the end, it became the laughing stock of the ages. After the death of Duke Qi Huan, he wanted to inherit the hegemony again, but was destroyed by the king of Chu. At that time, King Xiang of Song did not really die, but faked his death, he took advantage of the chaos to bring his furniture, was protected by some die-hard soldiers and generals, and fled all the way to the southwest, which is now Yunnan and survived.

King Song Xiang's fantasy of not giving up will be to dominate one side after his death. So, he ordered people to start building the imperial tomb. Because King Xiang of Song was a declining emperor, the manpower of the dynasty at that time was very limited, so the scale of the imperial tomb built was not large. However, King Xiang of Song put a large number of treasures when he fled, and the royal family's funeral items were not as luxurious as ordinary people could imagine, and it was rumored that there were countless bronze vessels, jade accessories, textile embroidered brocade, and colorful carved lacquerware in the tomb. Before the death of King Song Xiang, he ordered people to record the experience of the second half of his life, as well as the setting of the organ information in the mausoleum, on several lacquer plates, and put them into the bronze tripod used for sacrifice in the mausoleum. One is for the sake of fame through the ages; The second is to facilitate future generations to enter the tomb with heavy organs to worship their ancestors.

After reading these, I couldn't help but think: No wonder there is a mausoleum in the Spring and Autumn Period in the deep mountains and old forests of Yunnan. Generally, the mausoleums of the Spring and Autumn Period will be built in Shaanxi and Henan, and it took a long time to get it, so it turned out to be like this. I didn't expect King Song Xiang, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, to have such an unknown experience.

The ancestors of the Chen family drew the original map on a sheepskin, and cast a pair of golden statues of golden boys and girls with gold, and hid two and a half maps in it. He also set up the location of the tomb, the internal structure, and the mechanism in the mausoleum, and made a biography into a book for future generations. He also warned future generations: Only when the danger of imminent extinction occurs, can the gold and silver treasures in the tomb be found for relief. The tomb of King Song Xiang is full of organs and dangers, so you must not go rashly with greed.

I flipped through the few pieces of paper I had left, and I drew several maps on them, one of which read, "Most Probable Decipherment Speculation." After I finished reading it, my head was big, and my heart said: It turned out that after a long time, the exact specific location of the mausoleum is still unknown. Thinking of this, I immediately realized that this map and the deciphered paper would definitely not have been given by Master. If Master had seen the map, he would have cracked it completely. Thinking of this, I wondered, who gave me the map? Why did you quietly give me such a valuable map? Catching up is definitely not a good deal (Northeast dialect, buyers and sellers, the person who takes the initiative to speak first indicates that he is more urgent, and he will have to pay more. It is mostly used as a metaphor for people who take the initiative to show favor for no reason, and most of them are uneasy and kind. No one will give you the fat for no reason, there must be a huge conspiracy hidden in it, so big that I can't even see the tip of the iceberg.

I continued to rummage through my baggage with trepidation, and found that there was no book in it that recorded the internal structure of the tomb. I can't help but complain, the key thing is not there, I still don't know anything about the mausoleum, and the danger is increasing. In the end, the parchment map didn't do much, and I didn't know the location of the mausoleum, and I didn't know the internal structure at all, and my head began to ache when I thought about it.

At this time, the fat man pushed the door in, so I asked him, "Did you see who touched our bag in the car just now?" ”

The fat man put down the bag he was walking away and replied to me inexplicably, "No! What, I met a thief and lost something? ”

I replied, "No, it's an extra pack." Then I showed him the things, and then discussed them with him, but after a long time of discussion, in the end, I didn't come up with a reason.

Anyway, I basically know where the tomb is now. It's not detailed, but it's better than running around with a blank eye.

The fat man asked me, "Then tomorrow we won't be able to enter Yijiazhai." ”

I replied to him, "Master, they have been in the mountain for several days, and maybe they are now out of the mountain." Let's go to the village first to see the situation, if they come out, it is naturally good, and if they don't come out, they won't delay time, anyway, Yijiazhai is on the way into the mountain, it is the only way. However, we have to be careful, this ghost-like mysterious person has been hiding his head and tail and not showing up, and I don't know what the hell he is fighting? Judging by the way we got the map, he was following us to the left and right, hiding in the shadows somewhere, staring at us like a viper, waiting for an opportunity. Perhaps, he will become the most terrifying unknown danger in our next journey. ”

The fat man listened to me and nodded knowingly.

The mysterious man hiding in the shadows must be harboring evil intentions, but I am confident that he will slowly show his feet. The only thing I hope for now is that Master and his old man will not be fine, and that they will survive until me and the fat man arrive.

However, nothing is as simple as it seems on the surface, and many things will develop unexpectedly, which is the famous "Murphy's Law", the eternal truth!
