Chapter 77 Heavenly Chance
I heard here, no longer have the heart to go to the bath, then pull the old Liu head to the cafeteria of the guest house, find a quiet corner to do, ask him to say in detail about the process.
The traces on my back, the color has dark and light, the outline and level is very much like an eyeball, the shape is like the ancient city of the Jingjie was broken by me in the jade eye, I have been worried that this will be some kind of curse, maybe not only me and Fatty, far away from the United States of America, Professor Chen and Shirley Yang most likely will also appear this symptom.
At this time, listening to old man Liu said that this is not an eyeball, but a word, how I am not anxious, took out a cigarette to old man Liu lit a, this time the guest house cafeteria has been closed stove off duty, old man Liu just idle nothing, on the story of the incident told again.
In fact, it happened not long ago, counting less than three years of time, when the archaeological team of experts living in this guest house in Gutian County, counting and sorting out the bones recovered, the local leadership on this matter also attaches great importance to the guest house is closed, in addition to the staff, no one is allowed to enter the house.
In the guest house cafeteria work Liu old man, is a good person, usually to the archaeological team members to cook, nothing to do when they are watching the side, people work, he followed to help, the archaeological team of experts ate his meals, also know him, know that this old man is a warm-hearted, sometimes out of face, turn a blind eye to him, as long as do not steal or mess, willing to look at let him look.
This archaeological work recovered a large number of tortoise shells, and some unknown animal bones, each piece of bone armor are carved with a large number of words and symbols, but most of them have been damaged, collected are broken, need to pay a lot of labor and time to repair.
But in the many broken bone armor, there is a huge tortoise shell is most complete, this pair of tortoise shell is enough to have a table size, archaeologists with ice and acetic acid mixed solution to clean this tortoise shell, Liu old man just happened to see on the side of the most appear on the side of a symbol, is a symbol like an eyeball.
Old man Liu other do not know, only think this eyeball symbol is very eye-catching, a look know is an eyeball, asked the archaeological team members who are doing finishing work, this symbol is not on behalf of the eyeball, the archaeological team members told him that: “No, this is a similar to the oracle bone inscription of the ancient Chinese characters, not the eyeball … …”
Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the leader of the working group, a professor surnamed Sun. Old man Liu clearly remembers that Prof. Sun warned the archaeologists that these are state secrets and must not be disclosed to anyone.
Old man Liu thought I’m a cook, concerned about what you do this state secrets, but also stopped inquiring, but the more I think the more curious, this thousands of years ago, what can be said to the outside world can not say the state secrets? Is not a bluff blind my old man, but since people have to comply with confidentiality regulations, do not welcome more inquiries, do not ask is it.
But since that big piece of tortoise shell was recovered, we this guest house on the water twice a day (fire), make everyone can not rest in peace.
From there and after a few days, the archaeological team to see the bone armor collected almost, and feel that the fire hazard here is relatively large, so pack up things to go, the bone armor are loaded in a large wooden box, loaded a large truck, and then things can be evil, it is said that they want to be transported by air back to Beijing, and the results of the military aircraft crashed in the middle of the road, all of the things, including those engraved with the words of the bone armor, all burned away.
The entire fifteen-member archaeological working group, only that Professor Sun survived, he was due to the work manual forgotten in the county guest house, rushed back to pick up the work notes, did not catch that flight.
Professor Sun heard the news of the plane crash in Gutian County, then sat on the ground could not get up, or I took a few colleagues to send him to the health center, I can say that he is half of his life-saving benefactor, and later where Professor Sun to work near the Gutian, have to come to see me, and I drink a couple of cups, but I asked him what is the meaning of those words on the bone armor, Professor Sun avoided not answering, he just persuaded me to say that the word are The symbol of sinister evil, or do not know the good, and then finally do not ask again, anyway, have been destroyed, and then every time he sighed and said, I hate this life can not have never seen those words. This is not today a look at your back this piece of red eschar, I thought of those terrible words to come, it is exactly the same, this is not a skin disease, you actually how to get it?
When I heard this, I couldn’t help but ask old man Liu, “Master Liu, you don’t know what this word means?”
Liu old man haha a music, pretending to be mysterious to me said: “old brother, I only know this is an ancient text, but I do not know what the meaning of this word, but some people know ah, come early as well as coincidentally, that Professor Sun now happen to live in your upper floor, he has to come to work in Gutian for a period of time every year, which does not let you catch up. ”
I hold old man Liu’s hand, can’t wait to say: “Master Liu, you can really live God ah, you save people to the end, send Buddha to the west, can must give me an introduction to introduce this Professor Sun.”
Old man Liu patted his chest and guaranteed, “It’s no problem to introduce me to him, but the old man surnamed Sun has a very strict mouth, whether he is willing to tell you or not, it depends on you how to tell him, the echidna that grows on your back is so special, maybe he will be able to tell you about it.”
I asked old man Liu to wait for me in the cafeteria for a while while I got ready, then I went with him to visit Prof. Sun who was staying on the second floor of the guest house, I went back to my room first and told Dajinya and Fatty about the matter.
The fat man stayed in the room to continue to guard the smelling jade raw stone, I asked Dajinya to go with me, he has been in business for many years, words are given, and he is far more experienced than I am in dealing with social activities.
The two of us changed clothes, went to the guest house cafeteria to find old man Liu, I said to old man Liu: “Master Liu, we go empty-handed a little inappropriate, but this time is not early, want to buy some snacks and fruits is not easy ……”
Old man Liu said: “No need, look at my face, but you are not pouring antiques, remember ah, this matter must not be mentioned in front of Professor Sun, he is bad-tempered, the least like to do your line of work.”
Dajinya and I immediately said, never mention this matter, just make up a blind story that we are here in Gutian business trip, due to the back of the growth of a cool oracle-like red echidna, I heard that Prof. Sun knows oracle, so I took the liberty of going to ask for advice, to see whether this is a skin disease, or something else.
The three of us decided to go to the second floor and knocked on the door of Prof. Sun’s room, explaining the purpose of our visit, and Prof. Sun invited us into the room.
Professor Sun the more nearly sixty years old appearance, dry and thin, an old man, dark skin, spine a little pot, which is probably and he squatted for many years in the work of the tanning party has to do with Professor Sun full of wrinkles, hair baldness is more serious, the periphery of the remaining sparsely a circle, can not afford to shave, combed a lopsided spiral, although the appearance of the old, but the two eyes gleam, and did not wear glasses, in addition to his Hair, there is no difference with the farmers who work in the field all year round.
He compared with my acquaintance Professor Chen, although both are professors, but not a type, there is a big difference, Professor Chen is a typical academician, is sitting in the office of the kind of gentleman professor, while the professor surnamed Sun, probably belongs to the kind of long-term practice and the first line of pragmatism.
Prof. Sun listened to my story, and looked at the bruises on my back for half a day, and even said it was strange, I asked Prof. Sun, what exactly is the thing that grows on my back? There is no life-threatening.
Professor Sun said: “This is indeed extremely like a symbol, two years ago in the Gutian unearthed bone armor, the most complete and largest preservation of a pair of tortoise shells, above the carving of one hundred and twelve words, like oracle bones, but not oracle bones, this cool symbol like an eyeball, in that one hundred and twelve words recurring seven times.”
Fatty and I both had such a dark red echidna like an eyeball on our backs, although we came to visit Prof. Sun with Old Man Liu, but it was purely because we were sick and half believing in Old Man Liu’s words, at this time, when we saw Prof. Sun said that the shape of this echidna looked like an ancient script, we hurriedly asked Prof. Sun to explain to us what kind of word it was.
Professor Sun shook his head and said, “The red traces on your skin, and the unearthed ancient text is just like, but there is absolutely no relationship, that batch of cultural relics two years ago when the plane crashed, it was destroyed, there are a lot of coincidental things in the world, and some beans can grow to look like a human head, but between the beans and the human head, in addition to the similarity, there is no connection. of them.”
I and the big gold teeth softly, all kinds of good words all said, just want to ask those carved in the tortoise shell on the ancient text in the end what is the content, as long as you know the details, they have no connection, I have a number in my own heart.
Professor Sun just refused to reveal more than half a word, said at the end of the expulsion order to us: “You do not pretend in front of me, you two are full of the smell of dirt, I always work at the grassroots level, I know with my eyes closed what you two are doing, there are only three kinds of people with this flavor, one is a farmer, the other two is not a tomb raider, is selling antiques. To be honest, I don’t think you are farmers, I don’t have any good feelings towards you, I don’t know where you got this word, disguised as red echidna, and you want to get my words, I advise you not to dream, I only have two last words to say to you, firstly, don’t be irrational, the information of these ancient words belongs to the state secrets, no ordinary people have the right to know. Secondly, belonging to my personal advice to you all, never attempt to approach the information in these words, this is a heavenly opportunity, heavenly opportunity cannot be leaked, otherwise anyone who has a relationship with this writing will lead to disaster.”
