Chapter 2: Tomb Raider’s Grandmaster (below)

I said to Shirley Yang: “Moving mountains and dismantling mountains to worship Wu Zixu and the King of Western Chu, it’s really the first time I’ve heard of it, and I finally feel a little bit enlightened, however, the ancestor of the Tomb Raiders is Cao Cao, which is not surprising to me, I’ve known it for a long time, but I’ve heard my grandfather say that it may not be accurate, is there a hidden message?”

Shirley Yang said, “The gold touching worship Cao Gong is since the later Han Dynasty, but in fact, the gold touching lieutenants travel to and from the yin and yang realms, and follow the rules of not touching the gold as early as in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when there was a slave as a human martyr for the King of Yu, buried in the tomb, but not dead, and took away the dan sand in the tomb of the King of Yu’s book, which was passed down to the future generations, and the gold touching lieutenants enter and exit the eight-gate system. All from which, according to the real ancestor, is this from the tomb alive out of the strange man, but unfortunately, this person’s name and later end have been lost, can not be verified.”

I take the opportunity to pull the topic farther and farther away: “It seems that the ancient mausoleum is really a divine talisman elixir and yin and yang secret, but these things may not work, or the tomb owner will not be put into a coffin, that time there are many people is because of the service to seek the gods and goddesses, more for the medicine is wrong, only fatal and early death of the …… ”

Talking unconsciously, will soon walk to the hutong I live in the mouth, but I can not imagine said so half a day, Shirley Yang’s thoughts but not the slightest interference, once again asked me to that touch the gold talisman, I am at a loss, but see the hutong came to the rescue.

The mouth of the hutong, there is a pay phone, and a Liu Auntie, she is specifically responsible for answering the phone, a phone call, she first asked on the phone to understand who is looking for, and then go to the hutong to greet this person, greeted once two cents, it happens to be a phone call to find Fatty, Liu Auntie to manage the phone to go to the yard to the fat man called out, the fat man draped in a coat wobbling after her out to see Shirley Yang and I from outside the hutong to the inside. Yang from the hutong outside to go in, raised his hand to us greeted, picked up the phone grinning greatly spoke up: “Hey hey …… I am the Universal Pouring Company Limited of the King of the Boshi …… what you have not heard of? You haven’t heard of it, what are you calling me for? Hey my explosive temper, I say you deliberately looking for practice is not it? Where are you from? I’ll let the fat master pinch you to death. ……”

I took this opportunity to hurry to Shirley Yang said: “You see this fat man, from the Kunlun Mountains back, just a few days deep, and do not know their own last name, the mouth also does not send a sentry, in public under the fight long fight short, as the saying goes, disease enters by the mouth, trouble comes out of the mouth, believe him so tossed, sooner or later to stab a mess.”

In fact, I don’t care what the fat man said, just take the opportunity to touch the gold talisman on the side of the matter not to mention the side and Shirley Yang back to the house, not long after the fat man also played the phone back, and told me with gusto: “Just someone called to treat us to a meal at night can be a meal again, I would have known that so I would have been saving a meal at lunchtime, we have to be thrifty to do everything! We have to be thrifty in everything we do.” I asked Fatty who called. Fatty said he didn’t care to ask, just ask where to eat, the place is quite remote, it is said to have special features, but from the phone to listen to the accent, it is like Uncle Ming that old man.

Shirley Yang jack said: “This can not be, Professor Chen recovery from the United States back to Beijing, he specially set up a family dinner tonight, want to let us when we went to Xinjiang a few people get together, I have promised him, we have to go to Professor Chen’s home at night, and now the day is not early, you change clothes let’s go.”

I look at since so there is no way out, Professor Chen’s face of course can not not give, said when in Beijing poor almost can not mix, to bowl of marinade fire roast are considered to improve life, how no one invited to dinner at that time it? Here are many reasons seem to be quite deep, so no longer think about it, but also the phone will be that no head of mind behind the back of the head, casually clean up and follow the crowd to Professor Chen’s house.

Invited to come and the big gold teeth, he and Professor Chen is old acquaintances, and I and fat man to participate in the desert expedition team is also introduced by him, this party does not have any outsiders, no need to how polite, all the people are divided into guests and hosts seated, talking about the feelings of the other side as well as the recent situation of the line, can not help but a lot of feelings.

Although Professor Chen picked up a life back from the desert, but that time in the ancient city of Jingjie folded a lot of companions, and all are close to the thick people, resulting in his insanity, after some treatment in the United States, basically is considered to be recovered, he misses his homeland, refused to stay in a foreign country, more than a month after the disease is healed, can not wait to return to the motherland.

Prof. Chen drank a few glasses of wine, remembering his assistant and students buried in the sand, the mood became slightly agitated, lifting the hand with a stick grip are followed by shivering up, we are worried about the recurrence of his old illnesses, we advised him to drink less, the dead have gone, the past is over, no one can not change anything, people still alive have to look away a little bit, can not always live in the shadow of the past.

Professor Chen sighed: “Although the past has gone, but if people do not miss the past, no memories, that live is also like the walking dead, just as every nation has a history of every nation, those cultural relics and monuments are the memories of a nation of a nation, from which we can understand their own roots in which, where the bloodline, so that there is a person’s essence, gas, God! I’m so old, I want to do something is already more than enough, once I think of these things, I feel that the shoulders of the burden of this history is not light ah …….”

I was Professor Chen these words said in my heart, the more I listen to the more wrong, this must be the words have something to say, I do not know what he really wants to say, listen to this meaning of the last must be a turn of phrase, there is something to be entrusted, I do not intend to get involved with the antiquities of any relationship, only to find ways to politely refuse, but must listen to Professor Chen what he really wants to say, so I say to him, “Professor, I said A you do not love to hear, these axioms, although we are not much culture, but we more or less understand a little, a person if you do not comply with history, fear of history, that is certainly no guide to life, no direction to move forward, eating is not good, we are all very well aware of this, and has long been dissolved in the blood, engraved in the bones, and ultimately implemented into action, but these are really too profound to really talk about! You just don’t want to get tired, so I think you don’t want to talk about this content, leave it for future lectures and reports, it’s not too late, if you really want to talk about it now, can you just talk about the content after these axioms? If you really want to talk now, can you just say what’s after all this talk? You’re not going to lead us to organize an expedition to investigate some ancient civilization that disappeared, are you?”
