Chapter 177 Broken Book
"In my opinion, the most important thing in "Civil Engineering Records" should be this collection of characters. The collectors have collected the culmination of thousands of years of tomb robbery and the experience of hundreds of people, and this is the "Civil Engineering Record" This book, and it is this book that created our old Chen family, the experience passed down is more important than anything else.

At that time, my second brother and I had a dispute because of this book, so that the brothers turned against each other. Who has done nothing wrong in loving young people?

This book is still in your hands now!If you don't want to do tomb robbery in the future, you can burn this book. This is also what my second brother, your grandfather, thought back then. I think his intention to keep this book is to Me, he thinks I will go back to find this book one day, he is looking forward to my going back! "

When Chen Benzhong said this, he burst into tears. He hurriedly turned his chair around, not wanting Chen Ziyang to see himself crying.Although Chen Ziyang didn't understand what happened between the two brothers, at this moment, Chen Benzhong's true feelings were revealed, which caused a burst of sadness in his heart.

It took a while for Chen Benzhong to stabilize his emotions, and then he asked Chen Ziyang: "My second brother also wrote something in that book, right? Tell me about it. And your story, I I want to hear it too. How did you find these books? According to what I know about my second brother, it is absolutely impossible for him to pass on the craft of tomb robbery. I am surprised that the books were not burned."

Chen Ziyang didn't expect that he would change from a person asking questions to a person answering questions, but seeing his fifth grandfather's tears just now, he decided to tell the whole story in detail.

How did I get to know my master because of a plate of dumplings, and was betrayed by my mother with a plate of dumplings? From apprenticeship to a master to break the bloody coffin with Bai Chi, from my accidental discovery of the brass heirloom hidden in the family. The note in the compass, on which was written a passage written by my grandfather, and I used this note to find "Civil Engineering Collection".

Then my father was seriously ill, and I discovered the tomb of the shallow water fish Hualong by coincidence, so in order to raise medical expenses for my father, I changed my career to robbing tombs and fighting corpses, and then I met Wang Lele, and went to help Wang Lele In the Eastern Dynasty, it was so dangerous in Li Yun's tomb that he even got shot.

Until the end when he went to the Bohai Underground Palace to save Wang Lele, how he fought against the eight-armed King Kong sculpture, until he fell off the cliff, and all the things he experienced when he was in prison, he told him all the details in detail fifth grandpa.

Chen Ziyang's description was vivid, detailed and vivid. Chen Benzhong's eyes lit up when he heard his story, and he applauded again and again.Even Chen Benzhong asked Chen Ziyang to write these experiences into a book before burning that book.I don't know if he was really too excited, or if he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

"I'm so old, and it's been a long time since I robbed tombs. At the beginning, I robbed tombs for money, but later it was just for fun. I think a person's life should not be mediocre. If that's the case, it's really a waste of life." Yes, you have enough experience now to write a book.

Such a rich and colorful life is what I yearn for. Unfortunately, I am too old now, and I really can’t move. If I were a few decades younger, I really want to continue the adventure with you.Good boy, you told me such a wonderful story, let me start to answer the questions in your heart, come with me. "

After Chen Benzhong finished speaking, he led Chen Ziyang to the side of the three red sandalwood cabinets. "I'll test you again, this time to test your eyesight, what do you think of this celestial bottle?"

This made Chen Ziyang stumped. Although he said he had the ability to find dragons and acupuncture points, he hadn't seen many real things in three consecutive tombs, and he really didn't have the means to identify antiques.But he didn't want to be underestimated by Chen Benzhong, so he bit the bullet and carefully looked at the celestial bottle inside the glass cover.

"The vessel is well-preserved, fine and well-proportioned, and the blue and white hair color is natural, which looks very simple. The sphere of the entire Tianqiu vase is very round, and the ratio between the sphere and the bottleneck is very harmonious. It should look like a fine product. On the bottle The five-clawed real dragon in the painting is lifelike, it should be a fine product in an official kiln, I guess it was in the Qianlong period."

Chen Ziyang bit the bullet and used all the words that he knew in his mind from the column of Appreciating Treasures, and he vaguely remembered which program he watched. , so he boldly blindfolded for a while.

"Well said, it's really awesome for young people. When I was your age, I didn't have your abilities. You are worthy of being born in the old Chen's family. Maybe you are born to do this job. This celestial ball bottle is the official of the Qianlong period. Kiln." Chen Benzhong looked at Chen Ziyang with a hint of admiration.

Hearing what Chen Benzhong said, Chen Ziyang let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was right. Knowledge is power. In the future, he really needs to read a lot of books, and he might be able to use it sometime.

"This celestial bottle was brought out when I robbed the tomb alone for the first time, and it has been with me all my life. I took it with me no matter where I went, until I settled in Shanghai. During this period, the celestial bottle was taken out several times. in danger of being destroyed,

Even in my poorest days, I sold it.But when I got rich, the first thing I did was buy it back for ten times as much.For me this bottle has its special meaning. "

Then Chen Benzhong told Chen Ziyang about the compass in the second cabinet. "This compass is the one I used when I robbed the tomb. The compass itself is not precious, but it is the most convenient tool for me. There is a bullet hole on the back of the compass. This compass once saved my life. , looking at it is like looking at an old buddy who has been with me for decades, it is very kind. So I put it here."

Finally, Chen Benzhong pulled Chen Ziyang to the side of the third red sandalwood cabinet, looked at the tattered book inside and said to Chen Ziyang: "Don't look at this tattered book, it is the answer to all your questions. I know you have a lot of problems in your mind, but in the final analysis, this broken book is the root of all your problems."

Chen Ziyang frowned, his Fifth Grandpa was too good at nonsense, it was too hasty for him to use such a broken book to deal with him for a matter that was impossible to deal with!But what Chen Benzhong said next made Chen Ziyang stunned on the spot.

"This is the book that was packed with your brass compass and placed in the mausoleum of the Seven Martyrs."
