Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 24 Curiosity Killed the Cat, Be Careful
"There are a lot of Han people with this kind of ability." I said disapprovingly: "Professor, this is just an accidental discovery. It is not easy to find this person from the corresponding dynasty. It is not secretive, and there is no need to hide it, but his real name is not mentioned here. This is the real master. A real master will not care about fame and fortune. Necessary trouble."

Besides, I have no interest in this person at all, and using Tangut texts to solve puzzles seems to be a coincidence, and I started to struggle with this for no reason. I shook my head bitterly: "I will leave the photos to you."

The professor looked up: "So, you don't think there will be any results?"

"There will be no results." I said decisively: "It's all my fault. The ghost came here with the photo and caused you trouble. I hope you can let go of this matter and don't take it as a regret."

The professor adjusted his glasses, hesitated to speak: "Lin Tianyi, I discovered something astonishing..."

"Amazing what?" I asked.

The professor froze for a moment, then waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not time to talk about it yet. Don't worry, I won't hold on to this point stubbornly. There are so many mysteries in this world. Curiosity is too much." Being heavy is not a good thing, curiosity killed the cat, have you heard of it?"

"Yes, I've heard of this sentence." I said seriously, "I often remind myself of this."

The professor patted me on the shoulder: "I was half-killed by curiosity, and I can't stop. Lin Tianyi, the store is gone. Find a living, and there is still hope for life."

My nose was sore. The professor is a man of great wisdom. He is completely different from me and Lao Jiu. I nodded and said: "I see, things in the store have made some progress. Give me some time and I will recover, except for antiques. I don’t know what I can do in this business anymore, I will ask the professor to continue to take care of my shop in the future.”

I spoke confidently. The professor was a little scared. He stared at me for a long time. After a long time, he didn’t say anything. At that time, he took pictures by accident, as if he was destined to let the professor see these. Now, it’s time to go. , before going out, I quietly left the snuff bottle as a reward for the professor's hard work.

When I returned to Lao Jiu's house, he had already returned, and there was a big bag of food and drink with him. Seeing his relaxed expression, I thought it went very well. Lao Jiu had tasted my cooking skills and pushed me Entering the kitchen: "This site is handed over to you."

While I was busy in the kitchen, I stared at Lao Jiu: "When are you going to show the kid the third broken jade?"

"Lin Tianyi, who are you with?" Lao Jiu suddenly asked, "You have some relationship with that kid, right?"

"His biological grandfather is my god-grandfather. He received a lot of favors from the old man when he was young." In fact, it is not just a favor. People are not as good. The reality makes me understand how fragile blood is. Perhaps only interests are the strongest bond between people. Of course, interests do not conflict.

It's the same with Monroe, and it's the same with Lao Jiu, isn't it?

"Oh, so that's what's going on, let's meet that kid after finishing the matter at hand." Lao Jiu said: "I'm very interested in the things behind this broken jade, count me in, you , will never accompany that kid to the desert for nothing."

I snorted, and the knife in my hand fell faster and faster. The knife skill is good. Look at how neatly the shredded carrots are cut into the ground. What you get doesn't go out easily."

"This is also your temperament." I took the meat: "Let's talk about it."

Again, it took a week. After a week, Lao Jiu successfully sold Ye Mingzhu. According to what was agreed in advance, the account would be split fifty-fifty. It's just the price in the underground black market. If you participate in the public auction, you can get a sky-high price!

With the money, the first thing I have to do is to deal with the antique shop. I have to renovate the antique shop and compensate the customers.

After dealing with the old problems, I still have to think about the future. For a while, I was so busy that I almost forgot the existence of Meng Luo, and time passed without a trace.

Now that the store has been repainted, the circuit has been rebuilt, and new furniture has come in, Lao Jiu just came over, and his appearance naturally attracted the crowds of the antique street bosses, who surrounded him tightly, and people flocked. Asking him where he has been for more than a year, Lao Jiu randomly said that he had gone to other places, all of which were vague.

On the second floor, Lao Jiu put the broken jade from the mummy on the coffee table: "It's here, call that kid over here."

That piece of broken jade was lying there, quiet, but full of inexplicable aura. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and I called Mengluo, to be precise, it was the number of the commissary downstairs in Mengluo's house. The proprietress reluctantly said Meng Luo was called, his voice seemed to be awake: "Hey, who is looking for me?"

"No one is looking for you except me, right?" I said angrily, "If you want to see something, come here now, the second floor of the antique shop, you know."

Mengluo, a cheapskate, actually came here by taxi. Standing on the second floor, watching him take out money, I couldn't help laughing. There will always be times when this guy bleeds. Money is not saved, it is earned .

Meng Luo rushed to the second floor, saw the broken jade on the coffee table, couldn't wait to take out one of his own, and looked at me again: "Take it out."

"You guy, won't you be more polite?" That being said, I took it out honestly, and put together three pieces of broken jade. No, except for the two pieces of mine and Mengluo that can be pieced together, in addition One piece is isolated and no joint can be found. Lao Jiu is a little frustrated: "This piece can be placed here, or it can be placed here, but it can't be close to the edge of these two pieces. This is useless at all. We It’s the picture above, isn’t it?”

As expected of Lao Jiu, he has already seen the clues. He quickly picked up his own piece, as if afraid of being snatched by Monroe, and put it in the pocket of his clothes. Lao Jiu sat down on the sofa, holding his hands Chest: "Tell me, what is this thing?"

Munro looked at me: "Can I?"

"It's not a bad idea to have an experienced helper, you have seen his skills." I thought of Grandpa Gan, so I said, "You decide."

Meng Luo looked at Lao Jiu's face, and even walked a few steps closer, wishing to stick it to his face, Lao Jiu slapped Meng Luo's face away: "Ge Laozi, don't look at it like this, it makes people feel creepy .”

"It's okay." Munro finally spoke.

"Then you agree?" I really want to pinch Munro's throat, it's really worrying!If you can do it, you can do it, if you can’t do it, you can’t do it, always fucking vaguely, asking this question, I want to bite my tongue.

But he was not in a hurry, and nodded slowly: "You can tell him."

I told the things about Meng Luo Zu one by one, the expression of the old nine was calm, after listening, he suddenly scratched his head: "I don't understand, the ghost forest, the treasures of Blackwater City, mummy, broken jade, why are these things Mix it up?"

"Could it be just a coincidence? Meng Luo also said that that place is a geomantic treasure, so the mummified corpses in the Qin and Han Dynasties were buried there first, and later when they arrived in Xixia, in order to bury these treasures, they also chose a geomantic treasure. It was built on top of the mummy chamber, forming a pattern of tombs on tombs." I said, "It's just a coincidence."

Munro said: "The top priority is to find the other four pieces of broken jade. As long as they are all found, the mystery will be solved."

"It's easy to say, it's shit luck to find this one." Lao Jiu picked his nose, and he made extra small movements, and he was quick to complain: "The other four? Go to the advertisement and ask who has such broken jade? I can’t find it, so I think that police officer Tao will come to the door first.”

Meng Luo was like a deflated balloon, and I said, "Don't you know Yin-Yang and Five Elements? Do the math for us. After the three of you get together, will you have better luck?"

The number of Dayan is fifty, and forty is nine, divided into two, with two images, one with three images, and four with four images. Divination is the most primitive method of distinguishing good and bad. At that time, yarrow was used for divination, and later the fairy master Guiguzi changed yarrow into copper coins.

Meng Luo actually listened to my words and took out a copper coin. This copper coin is a little different from what I usually see. Such a feeling.

Looking into my eyes, Munro said, "This is made of blood blades."

I understand, the so-called bloody blades, the so-called bloody blades, are the weapons used in ancient battles. These weapons have killed countless people, stained with countless bloods, and have a heavy murderous aura. No wonder it makes people tremble I was shocked.

Meng Luo held the copper coin in the palm of his hand, crossed his hands, and then there was a "boom", the copper coin fell on the coffee table, it kept spinning, and then turned faster and faster, the sound of the copper coin rubbing against the table made us unable to move away Sight, finally, the copper coins stopped...

It stopped, but it didn't fall, so there was no pros and cons, and Lao Jiu's throat rang out: "Ge Laozi, what does this mean?"

Monroe's face was also inexplicably gloomy, I pushed him: "Hey, talk."

"It means that good and bad are indistinguishable." Munro said: "In other words, good and bad depend on each other. Everything that happens next is both a bad thing and a good thing."

"What the hell." Lao Jiu stood up: "Okay, everyone is going to disperse for a while, what should I do, I will leave first, and then contact."
