Chapter 9 [Joke] (I)
Luo Xingmu said: "Although the three of us cooperate, but the purpose is different, I am seeking wealth, Fang Kewen is a son of a family, the family is rich, people are not short of money, what is lacking is just rare things, the reason why I decided to cooperate with us is to find thrills." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Although the antiques found by info have some value, they are not yet to the point where they can be seen by him, as for Ma Boxuan, he is a nerd who does not hit the south wall and does not look back, and he is dedicated to academic research, and he must do what he recognizes.
The rest of the expedition didn't go so well, we found a few more ancient tombs, almost all of them were stolen, and we didn't find the legendary Yushen Monument. The first is that Kevin Fang has lost patience, and his family background does not allow him to devote time to endless adventures, not to mention that our efforts are obviously not proportional to what we gain. I don't want to continue, I'm a person who is a little rich, and the Ming weapon I found is enough for me to squander for a while after it is sold. I never thought of robbing the tomb in the past, although we called it an archaeological expedition, but in fact we took what we found as our own, although Ma Boxuan did not agree with our approach, but in order to find the Yushen Monument, he could only pretend to turn a blind eye. β
He took a breath and said: "So there was a disagreement between us, Fang Kewen and I proposed to end the expedition for the time being, and then consider the expedition after adjusting for a period of time, but Ma Boxuan insisted on continuing, ignoring that the weather was already extremely bad at that time, and continuing to persist might even endanger our lives."
After a fierce quarrel, Ma Boxuan chose to leave the camp alone in the middle of the night, after Fang Kewen and I noticed it, followed the footprints to chase him, and soon lost the way, the disaster is not alone, we were attacked by bandits in the mountains and forests, the two of us fled with their lives, and had to jump off the cliff when they found that they fell on the thick snow, Ma Boxuan was actually not far away, he was also lost in the wind and snow and came here by mistake, we suddenly found that the place we are now is almost exactly the same as the map drawn, although the snow is covered, but it can still be seen that it is an excellent place to gather the windγ According to the guidance of the map, we found the entrance to a large tomb, Ma Boxuan said that this is a Jin Dynasty tomb, we were all very excited, and it didn't take much effort to find the thief cave left back then......"
Speaking of this, Luo Xingmu stopped again, his old face showed an extremely terrifying expression, and his breathing began to become heavy, he obviously didn't want to continue to recall, shook his head and said: "Don't say it, after that time, Fang Kewen disappeared inexplicably, and Ma Boxuan and I escaped from it after a lot of hardship, but he went crazy halfway, and I fell seriously ill after I came back, and then I aged at an alarming rate." I'm only forty years old this year, and in just five years I've become what I am now, do you think I look like an old man in my seventies or eighties?"
Luo Lie nodded, this is indeed true, although he was full of curiosity in his heart, but he did not ask, Luo Xingmu must have experienced extremely strange things in that big tomb, otherwise he would not have undergone such an amazing change.
Luo Xingmu said: "I found that after I grew old rapidly, I went to Beiping again, one to visit Ma Boxuan's condition, and the other to see if he had become like me? β
Luo Xingmu stared at Luo Lie's eyes and said, "Maybe you want to ask me what happened in that tomb?" He shook his head and said, "I don't remember, I don't remember at all." I just remember what happened when the three of us went into the tomb, how we left, I don't remember, and I've had the same dream every night since I came back. β
"What dream?"
"A coffin!"
Luo Lie frowned, Luo Xingmu himself opened a coffin, and it was not unusual for him to dream of a coffin, in fact, judging from the interpretation of the dream, dreaming of a coffin was a good omen, a good thing.
Luo Xingmu said: "A huge bronze coffin, suspended vertically in mid-air, with nothing connected to it or any support, slowly rotating in the void. β
Few people know that Luo Lie actually took a major in psychology in the United States, he has a deep knowledge in psychology, and has also written academic articles on the connection between human dreams and thinking.
Luo Xingmu said: "It's been five years, except for insomnia, I have been dreaming the same dream every day, exactly the same, and it has never changed. β
Luo Lie said: "Maybe you're too nervous, maybe it's because you've lived here alone for a long time, you might as well try to go out for a walk and relax." In fact, he himself is not plagued by insomnia, is this a family inheritance?
Luo Xingmu said: "I even suspect that I have never entered that ancient tomb, otherwise how could I not even have the slightest impression." After we escaped from the tomb, my map was nowhere to be found, and last spring, I tried to find the tomb with my impressions of the past, and I even found the camp where we once lived, and I picked up the items that were lost back then, but I couldn't find the tomb anyway. β
Luo Lie said: "People will have illusions in many harsh environments, maybe your mind was not in a completely conscious state back then. β
Luo Xingmu shook his head: "I know, something terrible must have happened......" He bit his lip, finally made up his mind, stood up, took off his clothes, stood naked in front of Luo Lie, and then slowly turned his back.
By the dim light of the oil lamp, Luo Lie saw that Luo Xingmu's back was actually engraved with four shocking characters -- death to the trespasser! These four characters were all written in Xia script, and they should have been carved into Luo Xingmu's flesh and skin with a knife.
Luo Xingmu said: "After Ma Boxuan went crazy, he repeated a sentence over and over again, he said that we still have five years to live, I calculated, there are more than twenty days that are the days when Fang Kewen has been missing for five years, that is to say, ......" He didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already very clear, and his life should be less than a month left.
Luo Lie looked at Luo Xingmu in front of him, his heart was full of sympathy, although he would be suspicious of what Luo Xingmu said, but looking at Luo Xingmu's aging appearance, he should not live long. He picked up the sheepskin jacket on the table and helped Luo Xingmu drape it on his body.
Luo Xingmu said: "I went to sweep the tomb of the old man during the Qingming Festival this year, and I heard about you by chance, and I didn't think that our Luo family still has descendants, and after thinking about it, I finally decided to write a letter to you, hoping that if I can live to meet you, I also let you know that you still have such an uncle, and when our old Luo family continues the family tree in the future, if possible, my name will be added." β
Luo Lie nodded, although the Qing Dynasty destroyed the country, the concept of clan is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if Luo Xingmu was abandoned by the family since he was a child, deep down he still hopes to return to the family tree.
Luo Xingmu got up and walked into the room on the east side, and after a while, he walked out with a wooden box, opened the wooden box and said: "I don't have anything to give you, there are two house deeds here, one is this coffin shop, which was originally the Hu family's thing, and it should be inherited by you." There is also a house in Beiping, Ma Boxuan, he mortgaged it to me as a condition, and I don't have any relatives in this world, so I should be a gift from me. β
"What is this?" Luo Lie took out a scroll of jade slips from it, and from the color of the jade alone, he could see how old this jade slip was. What really attracts Luo Lie is the text on the jade slip, which has Xia Wen, oracle bones, small seals, and Han Li, although Luo Lie has also seen a lot of calligraphy works, but a hodgepodge of fonts mixed together with different styles of styles has never been seen.
Luo Xingmu said: "I also found it in the secret room left by the old man after I came back, this thing is a little special, the jade slip should be from the Han Dynasty, but the words on it were obviously engraved later, but I saw Xia Wen on it, thinking of the lost map, maybe it is an important thing, but unfortunately Ma Boxuan has gone crazy, and I am afraid that no one else in the world can decipher the meaning." He didn't know that Luo Lie in front of him had been learning Dayu's inscription since he was a child, and his understanding in this regard was far beyond that of Ma Boxuan.
Luo Lie said: "Then I'll keep it for you first." β
Luo Xingmu said with a smile: "What do you keep for me, after I die, you will be the only seedling of the Luo family, that is, the only heir, this thing should be yours, leave a thought." β
Luo Lie nodded, and at this time he heard a rapid knocking sound outside, but the blind man was still trapped under the coffin.
Luo Xingmu said: "I'll leave here tomorrow, this coffin shop, if you don't feel unlucky, you can stay." β
Luo Liedao: "Have you seen Western medicine, why don't you go to Huangpu and I introduce the doctors in the French Concession to help you take a look?"
Luo Xingmu shook his head and said: "Forget it, accept your fate, I shouldn't have come to this world, kid! Although it is the first time for the two of us to meet, I can also see that you are an outstanding young man, otherwise I wouldn't have talked to you so much." Came to Luo Lie, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go, that kid has been under the coffin for a long time, and after a while, he will have to freeze to death if he doesn't suffocate to death." β
