Chapter 79 Once Upon a Time

These days continuous sweltering heat, sitting still are all body sweat, finally God finally held out a heavy rain, rain are smoking, finally to the hot city cooled down.

After the rain of the home antique market is bustling, because of the weather, at home to endure a few days of amateur collectors, and antique enthusiasts, have rushed to pore lax things.

Big gold teeth busy with an old patron, fat is with a pair of blue eyes and big nose of the foreign couple, marketing our embroidered shoes, fat to the two foreigners said: “How? You take your nose to smell the inside of this shoe, with your American Monroe a flavor, this is our Chinese Ming Dynasty Monroe wearing shoes, famous …… famous prostitutes do you understand?”

This will be a little Chinese foreign couples, obviously on this exquisite shape of the Oriental embroidered shoes are very interested in the fat man took the opportunity to open his mouth to 20,000, the price of the two foreigners scared to turn their heads to go, often come to China’s foreigners, know how to bargain, the fat man to see this foreign couples do not know Kan price, know that they are the first to come back to China, and then hurriedly stop them back, claiming that in order to promote Sino-foreign exchange! The company said that in order to promote Sino-foreign exchanges, under the premise of adhering to the five basic principles of peaceful coexistence, they can give them a discount.

I sat aside and smoked a cigarette, uninterested in these lively scenes in the antique market, I went to the hospital after coming back from Shaanxi to check the marks on the backs of Fatty and me, and did not find nothing special, and what disease has not been checked out.

And I don’t have any special feeling, recently the wealth is rolling in, business is doing very red hot, we hold back from Shaanxi smell jade original stone, sold a dream should wake up laughing at the good price, and collected a few pieces of real Ming ware, almost every, the profit is doubled several times, however, when I think of the words of Prof. Sun, I feel that behind the back of the pressure of a big mountain, can’t breathe, whenever I think of these are worried, to anything! I can’t get excited about anything.

That hateful, hypocritical Prof. Sun, refused to tell me what the meaning of this symbol is, and the technology of deciphering the ancient encrypted characters, he is the only one who has mastered, but I can not be forced to force him to say it.

Gutian unearthed that batch of keel although destroyed, but Professor Sun must have left the bottom in advance, how can I think of a method, and then go to Shaanxi to find him to come over to look at, as long as I can determine the mark on the back, and the Jingjie country ghost cave eyeballs have nothing to do, so that I can rest assured, but the process of that conversation, I mentioned the word ghost cave, Professor Sun, like a madman, so that I no longer dare to say to him that the ghost cave! I never dared to tell him about the Ghost Cave again.

The more Prof. Sun hides and prevaricates, the more I think it has something to do with the Ghost Cave. If I don’t get it clear, sooner or later, something big will happen, and since Prof. Sun won’t give it to me explicitly, I have to resort to some tactics, and I can’t live my life carrying a red echidna like an eyeball.

Summer is an easy season to sleep, I was doing in the cool chair looking at things, in case by the Buddha (thief) to go along with a few things, but in the head of thought, unknowingly fell asleep.

Did a series of strange dreams, at first, I dreamed that I married a mute girl as a wife, she than told me to take her to the movies, we do not know how, to the cinema, did not buy a ticket to go in, the movie acted no end, can not see which with which, in addition to the explosion is the mountain collapse, acted, my mute wife and I found that the movie theater turned into a cave, cave in the The cave was hazy, as if there was a bottomless abyss, I was shocked, and told my mute wife, “No good, this place is a “bottomless ghost cave” deep in the desert, let’s run, but my mute wife was indifferent, and violently pushed me into the ghost cave, and I fell into the depths of the ghost cave, and saw that the bottom of the cave there was a huge eye staring at me! ……

Suddenly a cold nose, like being pinched, I woke up from the dream, see a seemingly familiar figure standing in front of me, that person is using the fingers pinching my nose, I opened my eyes just and her eyes on, I was dreaming of a terrible huge eyes, not yet fully awake, suddenly see a person looking at themselves, startled, almost from the cool chair toppled down.

Fixed his eyes, Shirley Yang is standing in front of him, Fatty and Dajinya two people in the side of the laugh can not straighten the waist, Fatty laughed: “Old Hu, daydreaming it? Drool all fucking flow down, a quasi is dreaming of marrying a daughter-in-law.”

Dajinya said to me: “Master Hu woke up, this is not Miss Yang from the United States just rushed over, said to find you have an urgent matter.”

Shirley Yang handed me a handkerchief: “It’s only been a few days since I’ve seen you, and you’re sick again. Drool all flow into the river, quickly wipe.”

I did not take her handkerchief, with the sleeve in the mouth a wipe, and then stretched out hard, rubbed his eyes, which only guessed syndrome to Shirley Yang said: “Your eyes …… hey, right!” I at this time sleepiness has completely disappeared, suddenly thought of the red scar in the shape of the eyeball behind the back, and hastily said to Shirley Yang: “Right, I’m thinking about how to find you in the past few days, there are some important things to tell you.”

Shirley Yang said to me, “I also have some important matters, this place is too noisy, let’s find a quiet place to talk.”

I hurriedly stood up from the cool chair, let Fatty and Dajinya continue to take care of the business, with Shirley Yang came to the antique market near a Longtan Park.

Longtan Park was not yet remodeled, the scale is not large, even on holidays, there are not many tourists, Shirley Yang pointed to a stone bench at the quiet place by the lake and said, “This is very good, let’s sit down here to talk.”

I said to Shirley Yang: “General get together with the pressure of the road to sit here, if you do not avoid suspicion, I am nothing, this small place is really good, dating is suitable.”

Shirley Yang was born and raised in the United States, and although she has lived in the Chinese community for a long time, she didn’t quite understand what I meant by what I said, and asked, “What? You mean couples in love are only allowed to sit by the lake?”

I thought that the cultural background of the two countries are too different, it is complicated to explain, then said: “The people’s rivers and mountains people sit, who sits in the long orange in the park is not to sit, we do not care about that.” Said he sat down.

I asked Shirley Yang: “Is Professor Chen’s illness well?”

Shirley Yang sat down beside me, sighed and said, “The professor is still in the United States for treatment, he was stimulated too much, the treatment status is currently not much progress.”

I was saddened to hear that Prof. Chen’s condition still hasn’t improved, and after chatting with Shirley Yang for a few more moments, we got down to business, of course it wasn’t about asking me to pay back the money, as I expected, it was about the eyeball-shaped red scar that suddenly appeared on my back.

Not only me and the fat man, Shirley Yang and Professor Chen’s body, also appeared this strange thing, that trip to Xinjiang, a total of five people survived, in addition to these four people, there is also a Viennese guide, the old fox in the desert An Liman, he also appeared on the body of this red scar?

Shirley Yang said, “On the body of old grandpa An Liman, it will not appear, because he has not seen the ghost hole, I think this kind of mark must be and the ghost hole tribe’s eyeballs have this some kind of connection.”

About that mysterious race, there are too many secrets that have not been revealed, but these unknown secrets, including the “Ghost Cave” that leads to nowhere, have been buried under the yellow sand forever, and will never see the light of day again.

I put in the Shaanxi Gutian, from Professor Sun to understand some things, told Shirley Yang, maybe she can make some kind of judgment from it, this symbol is not a ghost hole to bring us a curse?

Shirley Yang listened and said: “Professor Sun …… Is his name Sun Yaozu? His name is very prestigious in the Western archaeological community, is the world’s only a few ancient text cracking experts, specializing in deciphering ancient symbols, ancient codes, as well as ancient encrypted graphic information, I’ve read his book, know that he and Professor Chen is a friend, but did not have the opportunity to contact him in person, in 1981, Egypt, the tomb of the king of the Garotepe Pharaohs, was unearthed a number of artifacts, which has a carving of the scepter with a lot of pictorial symbols, a lot of experts have been able to find out more about him, but he is not the only person who can help us. Symbols of the scepter, many experts are unable to judge the meaning of the symbols, a French expert who knows Sun Yaozu wrote to him for help, and got Professor Sun’s valuable advice, and finally judged that the scepter, is the ancient Egyptian legend engraved with the words of the netherworld of the scepter of the Yellow Springs, the discovery then shocked the whole world, and from then on, Professor Sun will be famous all over the world. If he says that this kind of symbol is not an eye, but some kind of symbolic figure of speech, I think that must be extremely reasonable.”

I secretly tongue, I can’t imagine that Professor Sun’s eccentric temperament, peasant-like dress, but is such a dignified person, the sea water really can’t be measured ah, I asked Shirley Yang: “I think that this is a symbol or not, is it words or not, the most important thing is that it is good or bad luck? Does it have anything to do with that damned relic of the Jingjie Kingdom?”

Shirley Yang said, “I’ve already found some clues to this matter in the United States, do you still remember the Prophet’s Meditation in Zagrama Mountain? It mentioned that one of our four survivors was a descendant of the Prophets, and that person was indeed me, my grandfather died when I was seventeen years old, and he left so suddenly that he didn’t leave any words behind. I made this trip back to America and went through some of the relics he left behind, and among them was a notebook that turned up a number of startling clues that completely proved the authenticity of the Prophet’s Silence.”

It seems that things are moving in the direction I feared the most, it’s true that what you fear comes to you, that nightmare-like ghostly cave, avoiding it, and it sticks like a dog’s skin, are we cursed by the ancient kingdom of Jingjie? That ancient city along with the entire Zagrama, have not been buried permanently by the yellow sand?

Shirley Yang said, “It is not a curse, but it is more troublesome than a curse, Zagrama …… I will tell you what I know from the beginning.”
