Chapter 41 Grandma's small building, fat man's gold

It took a long time for a few of us to calm down a bit. The fat man said, "Miss, what did your father say before?" He said that this is a cemetery, but did Te Niang build the cemetery like this? Could it be that every room above this is filled with coffins and dead people? ”

I'm also a little puzzled, although there are few clues about the Phantom Snow Forbidden City, but Daddy is still very sure that this is a cemetery. I thought about it, "Actually, I don't think it matters if it's a cemetery or not, the problem is that this pattern, no matter how I look at it, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Spring and Autumn Warring States period where the Seven Star Dragon Yuan is located." Yanran, take a good look, what period of architecture do you think this looks like? ”

The fat man had seen the scene in front of him many times, and immediately said: "This has nothing to do with any dynasty, but there are many countries around West Kunlun, maybe the Central Plains ethnic group that came here at the beginning absorbed the local culture and made such a place." ”

"Impossible." Peanut said suddenly.

"Why can't it be?" The fat man can't see others directly refute him.

Peanut didn't care about the fat man's face, and then said: "A city of this scale, no matter what period of ancient times, it is impossible to complete it in a period of time, I think, this is gradually expanded from generation to generation, it is estimated that those people should have lived here for thousands of years, otherwise, a single cemetery, will never reach such a scale." ”

And I went on to say, "So you mean that the people of that country are not just buried here, but have been living here before?" ”

"Now it seems that the Illusory Snow Forbidden City is a cemetery and you have to go in and see it, but these houses should be more suitable for living people." Peanut said.

The fat man suddenly patted Boss Sun: "Boss Sun, you must have been to many countries for business." Have you ever seen a building like this? ”

Boss Sun looked at the houses on the periphery of the Phantom Snow Forbidden City for a long time, "Well, I haven't seen it abroad, but I look at the shelves in those attics, and the carvings on the side of the roof, I always feel a little familiar." ”

"Do you remember the porch outside?" I said.

"No, no, no, it's not the Lang Pavilion, where have I seen it before, tsk, it feels familiar." Boss Sun thought hard, thinking of when we all started to get impatient. He suddenly jumped on the ground, "Ouch, I remembered, yes, yes, yes, I've seen this kind of attic." ”

said. Boss Sun pointed to a four-story flat-roofed square attic not far ahead. The style of that attic looks simple, with some European medieval architecture. The roof is completely flat. It's a third larger than a building.

"Where have you seen it, tell me quickly." The fat man urged.

Boss Sun continued: "There was no one before, but later, a year before my grandmother died, she suddenly built a small building in the courtyard of our ancestral house, and she didn't tell us what she was doing. As a result, the building was built according to his request. We all felt very strange that the building was very similar to what we see now, just to be smaller. I still remember that after the building was completed, my grandmother didn't care how the family tried to dissuade her. I had to paint the building red, and after I finished it, our family laughed at the people in the neighborhood for several years, saying that other families started new buildings, and our family lived in a ghost building. ”

As soon as we heard this, we couldn't help but start to doubt the relationship between Boss Sun and these things. The fat man asked, "Then what did your grandmother do with it after she built that building?" ”

Boss Sun said, "She uses it to worship God." ”

"Worship God? What god do you worship? I asked.

"This thing is also very unreasonable, my grandmother is a person who has stayed abroad, and she is a high-end intellectual in our country, she has never believed in any gods or ghosts. But after she built that building, she found someone to mold several statues of gods according to her requirements, but strangely, no one had seen the statues of gods she made, but in the year before her grandmother's death, she was like an iron-clad religious believer, and she had to worship God in that small building for several hours every day. ”

I felt that this was quite interesting, and maybe there was some reason for it, so I continued to ask Boss Sun, "When did your grandmother suddenly start believing in God, did anything happen before, or did there any signs?" ”

Boss Sun's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, "Hey, my grandma's person, has always been very kind, after retirement, in addition to taking me, she has been staying at home to continue to do academic research, I remember that she was very cheerful at that time, but since picking up the broken book in our house, she seems to have changed a person, her temper is very strange, she locks herself in the house at every turn, and she is bored for more than ten days, as if she has fallen into some evil." Every morning after I got up, my grandmother was studying those things alone, and sometimes she would draw the words and drawings on the wall at home, so scared that my parents quickly took me to Beijing. ”

"Damn, if you say so, your book is really not simple." The fat man said, "But I look at it as a modern thing, and no matter what is drawn in the book, the paper and the traces of aging on the surface are too obvious." ”

"Hey." Boss Sun waved his hand, "Originally, that book would not have been seen by my grandma, it was all brought by my grandfather at that time and accidentally found it for my grandma." So, my grandfather now feels that he killed her old man all day long, and he doesn't have a day of peace in the hospital. But when my grandfather was very sick, he said that my grandmother must have seen something wrong in that book, and that she might have left something in the little building. ”

"Did you go to that building later?" The fat man asked.

"Looking for it, alas, in order to make my grandfather feel at ease, I really want to break my brain, to be honest, if it weren't for the relationship between our family, I would have dealt with that book a long time ago, even if there is anything there, it is definitely not a good thing, it has already harmed the two old people in my family, oh don't say it, I'm so angry when I talk about it."

Hearing Boss Sun say this, I actually envy and admire him. Because Boss Sun didn't indulge in those mysteries like me, he just wanted to help his family wholeheartedly.

"Yes." The fat man sighed. "If you want to know something earlier, let's definitely go to your small building first, maybe this trip won't be as embarrassing as it is now."

"It's useless to talk about this now, I think let's hurry up and go in and find someone." I couldn't help but start worrying about Daddy and Qin Feng again. The Forbidden City is so big, even if they are inside, we may have to look for it for a long time, and we don't know if their food and water are enough.

The fat man knew that I was anxious, so he packed up his things and took the lead to walk towards the alley between the two buildings in front.

The Phantom Snow Forbidden City has no walls and towers, and the buildings are very dense, dazzling to look at. It seemed that it was full of intertwined alleys, and after a few steps inside, the fat man began to make marks on the wall. We have professional road sign chalk, which can not only have a night fluorescent effect. Even if it rains for three or five days, it will never fade. And the marks drawn by the fat man are also very special and eye-catching. I looked at it. Suddenly, I thought the marks he drew were particularly interesting. It seems to be a "Cao" character, but it is much simpler.

"Yanran, what are you drawing?" I couldn't help but ask.

The fat man's face was expressionless, "This is my family's family crest, do you understand?" ”

I almost lost my joy when I heard it, "Just what you said about your poor family." Can there still be a family coat of arms? Even if there is, it should be a steamed sweet potato or something.,Why I see that your painting seems to be quite a doorway.。 ”

"Miss, if you want someone else to say this, Lao Tzu will have to do it. What's the matter, the family can't have a family crest if it's poor? Damn, Lao Tzu also plans to take our family crest to declare the intangible heritage of the world. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, Boss Sun and I both laughed. "It's not an intangible heritage, peanuts, you" I smiled and turned my head, only to find that the peanuts that were still with me were gone.

The three of them looked back and saw Peanut standing not far behind us, looking intently at the mark that the fat man had left earlier.

"Did you see that?" The fat man immediately patted me on the chest, "It's still a little brother who knows the goods, and the family crest of our Cao family is a work of art, and it's worth the old money in the museum." Isn't it, boy? ”

Peanut didn't react, and stood there without even moving. At this moment, the alley is extremely dark, the light of the flashlight is all smeared with a layer of blood on the surrounding red walls, and Peanuts are standing in the dim light and shadow, with long hair swaying, looking like that really makes my heart chill.

"Not bad." After saying three words, Peanut walked over to us. As he walked, he tore a strip of cloth from his coat and tied his hair behind his back. He really looks like those people in ancient times.

This time, peanuts did not go to the front, but fell behind. I looked back at him from time to time and saw that Peanut's eyes were also looking straight at me. I'm not the type of person who has a phobia of stalking, it's just that Peanut's eyes are so sharp and weird, and I always feel like he's trying to do something to me behind me.

However, Peanut may also be afraid that the situation before will happen again, maybe he hasn't figured it out now, why did he completely forget about me with the fat man and Boss Sun before.

The alley was not straight, and we were already far away by this time. The fat man led the way in front and never turned, because in such a place, it was very likely that we would get lost when we turned, even if we kept making marks on the wall.

A few of us had discussed it before, and when we came in, we would go to those buildings to have a look. But strangely, there was not a single door in this alley we were walking through. At first, we suspected that the buildings had no doors, but soon we saw openings in the alleys around us that were not blocked. In order to avoid getting lost, we were not in a hurry, thinking that if we continued to walk forward, we would definitely see a door next to us. But we've been walking for more than ten minutes, and we still haven't seen the door in this alley.

"It seems that the design of this place is that all the direct alleys that come in from outside the city have no doors, which is also to make it easier to get in and out. Everyone, pay attention, let's turn the corner, and then I don't know where to turn the road. So saying, the fat man walked into the alley on the left-hand side.

The alley was very dark, and when we walked in, it was still red, and the buildings on either side of us had six floors, and the two doorless openings wanted two dark eyes to look at us strangely.

The fat man walked into the doorway on the right first, and we followed. The space inside is a little smaller than we thought, and it can be seen that these red walls are very thick. The room on the ground floor was empty. But strangely, there wasn't much dust here, as if it had just been cleaned. The stone staircase at the corner of the wall is semi-curved, and we didn't take long to look at it at the bottom before we walked up the steps.

I have to admit that the structure of these buildings is still very simple, and there is nothing else on the second floor except for the three red jars side by side on the wall.

However, even these inconspicuous jars are enough to make our nerves tense.

"I mean, is there just a corpse there?" The fat man whispered.

"Not really." I frowned, and didn't dare to be the first to go over to confirm.

"Then it's nothing. Why are there three jars? Why don't you go and have a look? ”

Emotional fat people also have timid moments, "Eh, where is the momentum you said you wanted to get rich before, and you still have the top card." "I took the opportunity to count the fat man.

"Lao Tzu is not afraid, but he is worried that the contents of the jar stink. Wait a while, smoke Lao Tzu and be in a commotion. The fat man waved his hand, "Okay, okay." So saying, he walked over to the three jars.

We don't actually think there's anything in that jar. Thereupon. Like peanuts, they looked at the walls above and around them, looking for carvings or murals or anything like that.

Not long after the fat man walked over, we suddenly heard his strange "uh" scream.

I thought to myself, could there be something wrong with the jar, but as soon as I turned around, I saw it. The fat man was jerking at a jar of twitching and giggling.

"Damn, you're sick, aren't you? Almost scared you to death. After saying that, I felt that the fat man was smiling a little abnormally, and as soon as we walked over, the fat man put his hand into the jar. Then he pulled something glittering out of it.

"Heh, hehe, hahaha, look, look, what is this?" The fat man didn't laugh, but the extreme joy spread across his entire face.

"Gold?" Boss Sun was stunned.

I didn't expect that these inconspicuous jars would contain gold jewelry. The fat man held in his hands were all gold chains and gold jewelry, the style was very special, each gold jewelry was very full, and the workmanship was extremely fine. We have never seen the patterns on the gold jewelry, there is a gold pendant with the size of a grain of rice, thin paper and small gold sheets, and a rippled shape, very beautiful.

Boss Sun and I grabbed a handful of the jar next to me, and as soon as we reached in, we touched something hard, and when I took it out, it was all gold.

In such a place, there is no need to doubt the authenticity of these golds, and the heavy feeling in my hands even makes me feel a little happy in my heart. Boss Sun is a thief with money, but he is also amazed by these things.

Peanut looked at the things in our hands, and only said lightly: "These things are getting farther and farther away from the dynasties we know." ”

I looked at him, then looked back at the things in my hand, and wondered if the things that Brother Jiu said before really be reality?

A kingdom can be destroyed, and even if all its civilizations disappear, it is nothing in the long course of history. However, there are many similarities in the artifacts left over a period of time, especially the artifacts of the time. Peanuts, on the other hand, decide that these things in our hands do not belong to any of the eras that we already know, then these things themselves become very strange and bizarre. For example, now that the fat man wants to sell these things, how can he put a price on these antiquities? Say which dynasty it is from? When you buy antiques, you always have to let people know what it is, not to mention the specifics, the approximate period can always be estimated. And these things in our hands are not, hmph, I can't get these things to the market and sell them as antiques, no one wants them yet.

Where would the fat man care about these things, he has already started to pack things in his bag. He had already kept one hand, but when it was full, he poured out a lot of it.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

The fat man said with a smile: "Then if there is a better baby in the back, we have to leave some leeway." ”

"You're really greedy enough." I gave the fat man a blank look, and then said, "Eh, remember to put my share on it too." ”

"Don't worry." All the way over, I haven't seen a fat man so energetic.

Suddenly, Peanut beside him turned around sharply and shouted towards the steps leading to the third floor, "Who is it?" ”

I suddenly saw a black shadow flash up from the steps, and then Peanut chased after me, and Boss Sun and I immediately followed, but the fat bag was not yet on the shoulder, "Eh, wait, wait for me." ”

The four of us quickly came to the third floor, and as soon as we came up, we were all stunned.

There was nothing on the floor on the third floor, except for a half-burned red candle in the corner. It was a clear sign that someone had been here, and it was empty, so we naturally looked back at the steps leading to the fourth floor.

"The man must have run up." The fat man said that he was about to chase him, but Peanut stopped him.

"It's wrong, that person is too fast, I just saw a figure, can't be sure he's human."

Peanut's words directly scared Boss Sun. "Huh? It's not a person, then, how does he know how to light a candle? ”

"You stay here first, I'll go up and have a look alone." Peanut said.

"That's not good, is it?" I said worriedly.

The fat man patted me, "Don't worry, there's something that my little brother can't handle." We can still plug that thing down there. ”

Since Peanut last turned into a sin, the fat man has more confidence in Peanut. But I was always a little uneasy, I am afraid that the things we encountered along the way have greatly exceeded Peanut's expectations, and even many of Peanut's judgments have been wrong, and I don't know what will happen to the road behind. But I couldn't express my uneasiness, so I could only watch Peanut slowly walk up the steps.

Just as Peanut walked up to the fourth floor and we craned our necks to look up, suddenly, I heard a "beep" sound behind me, like the crunch of a candle flame. (To be continued......)
