Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 28 Changes
The three of us watched the spectacle in the Ghost King Yulong Cup, and it took a long time for us to recover. Tofu opened his mouth first and said, "Old Wei, this cup is quite strange, but sometimes it is filled with people, and sometimes it is a house or something." , without half a word, do you see any tricks?"

Compared to me and Tofu who were at a loss after reading it, Wei Guangtou seemed to have some calculations in his mind. He nodded and said, "I've already written it down!"

"My lords, do you think we should settle the money matter?" After watching the Ghost King Yulong Cup, Wei Guangtou regained his serious expression, but after this contact, although our position It's a little different, but I still appreciate him as a person, he is not pretentious, and he does things simply.

Then I happily asked about my bank account number, and then took out my mobile phone to call the bank to arrange the transfer.In just a few tens of seconds, he hung up the phone and said to us: "The money will be transferred to your account in a short while. You can wait at ease. For the other thing, you have to wait for three days, three days. Days later, when the other veterans have arrived, we will go on the road together."

After finishing speaking, he said that it was not early, and let the two of us rest by ourselves, then took the burden and hurriedly left the apartment.

Although this bald Wei has a fierce appearance, he is not a reckless person. He talks in a way. First, he successfully used the transfer to change the topic, and then he slipped away after a few words, and he refused to talk. Ming explained what he saw in the cup.

After thinking about it, these things have nothing to do with us. In short, they found a place and we went to work in the fields, that's all.Instead of worrying about these things, I might as well take a look at what's in front of me.

But the silly bird Tofu keeps talking about it, can't it be a liar?Will not give money?You won't be black and white, right?Then I didn't do anything, just stared at my mobile phone, waiting for the bank transfer notification.

I'm too lazy to talk to him, I have two things to do right now:
First: debt repayment;
Second: study the notes left by grandpa.Although I've read it many times before, it's just an ordinary notebook, and I haven't studied it carefully in some obscure and difficult places involving certain secret techniques.

Since he was going to dig big mushrooms in the ground at this time, and he was following a group of veterans like Wei Guangtou, if he didn't learn some real skills, he would inevitably be looked down upon.Although I haven't dug any big mushrooms, the experience in Huiyong River is still fresh in my memory.

A small tomb of a civil official almost killed me and Tofu, so what will happen in the tomb of the legendary ghost king Yulong?
Relying on others is worse than relying on ourselves. If there is any danger at that time, who will help us?Instead of this, why not take advantage of these days to study the work notes handed down by grandpa, and have a lot of self-defense skills.

It was almost night, and the 500 million was transferred to my account very quickly, just as Bald Wei said.

Although I have seen money before, I was still a little excited when I saw the string of zeros on the bank text message.

Dear Mr. Chen Xuan, your account received RMB 5000000 on X, X, etc. I was a little excited when I saw this text message, not to mention the cowardly tofu.Facing my mobile phone, it was a crazy kiss with saliva flying around, which made me kick it aside.

After Tofu got kicked, he didn't get angry, he just sat there with my mobile phone in his arms.My eyes were a little hot, and I thought of digging holes with tofu, eating instant noodles together, and the disheveled appearance of tofu. I couldn't help but took a deep breath to calm down this emotion.

Then, I said to him in a deep voice: "Tofu, this money..."

Tofu raised his eyes when he heard the words, interrupted me with a wave of his hand, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Don't mention money, I am also a rich second generation, not so vulgar. I just like so many zeros, just looking at it Be strong. You are a businessman. You can have babies with money in your hands. Now you are short on money. You can spend it as you like. Anyway, I will ask you for it when I have no money. I will treat it as an investment. , I don’t think you will not give it to me!”

I knew in my heart that Tofu was helping me. Although the money came in a lot and quickly this time, if the money is divided, once I pay off the debt, there will be only a few words left. If I want to make a comeback, I have no capital. of.

May I ask how many people in this world who say they are brothers and friends can do this?I understood his intentions, and I accepted it, and patted him on the shoulder, but I didn't hesitate.After we readily agreed, the two of us never mentioned the matter of this penny again.

When I have money, I become more stubborn, and I don’t want to look at the dense notebook anymore, so I took out my mobile phone and called some of my creditors.Those few small creditors have nothing to say, they paid the money and repaid the money, they have nothing to do with each other, only one big creditor is not easy to deal with, he is half a gangster, he runs several bars under his banner, many of my clients used to be with him related.

This man is a smiling tiger, I secretly call him Qin Mazi, he is very talkative and very arrogant.After dialing the number, the other party obviously knew it was me, and answered the phone, "It's been ten days, and I thought you hid in the sewer, why, did you pay back the money?" His voice was hoarse and frivolous.

I got used to it too, and said: "Whoever owes money, I will not owe you money. The money has already been transferred, so you can see for yourself."

Qin Mazi was a little surprised. He paused for a while, probably someone had to check the accounts, and then changed his tone, and immediately said: "Brother Chen, you are a capable person, and you are still thinking about this little money. If you are tight on hand, why bother?" Hurry to pay back, why should we be so divided between us brothers."

I glanced at Tofu who was eating watermelon next to me, and said to the phone: "Because we are good brothers, I can't make things difficult for you. I will visit you again when I am free."

There is a saying that goes well: When a person walks in the world, he must have a thick skin.This Qin Mazi's thick-skinned ability is considered a masterpiece, and he talked with me on the phone for a long time, trying to trick me in different ways, probably not understanding why I suddenly got such a large sum of money.He looked like a creditor before, but he became a good brother again in the next second?

brother?Nonsence.Brother can eat?
I, Chen Xuan, have only been a brother in this life, although he was a little cowardly...

After dealing with the debt, I didn't get entangled with Qin Mazi too much. This person has a snake nature and a greedy personality. If I suddenly made such a huge windfall, he can't guarantee that he won't keep it in mind. But it's troublesome.

In the next few days, I studied the work notes left by my grandfather wholeheartedly at home, and found some unusual things from them.My grandfather was not a learned man, before he left with Bai Laosi, he was illiterate.Later, I learned to read and write, probably taught by Bai Lao Si, but at that time my grandfather was already old and had limited knowledge.

But in this notebook, there are many old sayings, and there are even four or five pages in it, all of which are written in classical Chinese. This is not like what my grandfather Chen Siyuan could write, and he probably copied it.

It wrote some ways to find the mausoleum, looking at the Tubian Cave, and even the Wangqifa Tomb.

I didn't know these ways at first, but after the strange deeds of these few days, I also understood some inside stories of the industry.If you talk about identifying acupoints by looking at the soil, as long as you accumulate experience to a certain stage, you can master it.But looking forward to the tomb, it is master to disciple, and it is kept secret.

Although Flying Dao Bai's fourth child is very skilled, he doesn't have the ability to observe wind and water, find dragons and identify acupoints at all. How can grandpa's work notes record the method of looking forward to the grave?
Seeing me pondering over my head, Tofu sometimes comes over to discuss with me.As the saying goes, great wisdom is like a fool, and no matter how stupid a person is, there are times when he is smart. After hearing my question, Tofu suddenly said: "I have an idea, please listen to it."

I motioned him to continue, and Tofu said, "Back then, Feidao Bai Laosi, Tu Heihu, and Yang Fang, the magic mace, entered the tomb of Wanyao Concubine together. Among them, Yang Fang's skills were taught by a local master named Cai in Changsha. Qi Fa Tomb's ability is unrivaled in the world. But later, because Yang Fang was wearing a ghostly face, he suddenly launched an attack on Bai Lao Si. Then Bai Lao Si became murderous and killed Yang Fang. Could it be Zhao? The old man lied to us, maybe, after Bai Laosi killed someone, he also took away Yang Fang's dinner guy, such as the pair of magical maces and cheat books."

After I heard it, I thought it was nonsense, and said, "Have you ever seen someone digging mushrooms with a bucket, and they would bring the secrets passed down by the master? I used to sell barbecue on the side of the road. Have you ever seen me carry a list of ingredients with me?" ?”

Tofu was speechless, and said instead: "When people are hungry, the brain is prone to lack of oxygen, and thinking will slow down when there is lack of oxygen. As soon as you talk about barbecue, I know where the problem is, because we should eat Believe me, I will definitely figure out a way when I am full."

It's mealtime now, and the money is not tight now, so the two big men are naturally too lazy to cook, so they wandered out and found a restaurant to eat and talk about things.There is still one day before the time we agreed with Bald Wei, after today, we still don't know where we will eat tomorrow's meal.

I was talking nonsense with tofu all over the place, when my phone vibrated suddenly, indicating that there was a message.I don't like sending messages very much. My friends know my habit, so I always call directly when I have something to do. Generally, except for 10086, it is some spam text messages, so I don't care.But after a while, the phone vibrated again, prompting another message.

I was a little puzzled, so I dug it out and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

The first text message is: The situation has changed, we are being targeted by the note.

The second is: act separately.The message was followed by an address: Xiangxi Fengtou Village.

Tofu came over, wondering: "Who sent this? Perverted Chen, do you understand what it means?" I was a little confused by these two messages, and I didn't realize it for a while. This kid called me a nickname again , shook his head and said: "I don't know. Are you being targeted? Could it be Wei Guangtou..."

Doufu said: "It's all nonsense, my brain is not good, I don't want to guess about it." After that, he took my mobile phone, dialed the number back, and said, "Let me ask clearly."

I didn't stop him, and waited for him to answer the call, but after a while, Tofu shook his head and said, "The other party turned off the phone, which is strange enough."

My phone number is unknown to other people, but these two text messages indicate that there is a high probability that something happened to Baldy Wei.

I don't have Guangtou Wei's phone number, but I can find the number of Dengfenglou. The Internet is so convenient these days. I immediately finished my meal with Tofu, ran home immediately, searched on Baidu, and dialed back according to the number I found.

The waiter in the teahouse answered my call, and immediately transferred the call as soon as they heard that I was looking for them to be in charge.Old man Zhao was a little surprised. Hearing what I said, he immediately said, "What's the phone number that sent you a message?"

I reported the number to him, old man Zhao was silent for a while, and said: "It's Xiaowei's call. It seems that things have changed. It's probably because he has acted too much recently and has been targeted."

Tofu heard it from the side, almost biting his tongue, and said: "It seems that this operation is probably going to be a mess."

The old man Zhao's ears were sharper than a rabbit's, and he immediately said on the phone: "Huang Bu, since Xiao Wei sent you a message, it means that he has made arrangements. If you follow what he said, you will definitely be able to get there."

I couldn't help sneering after hearing this, and said to myself that this old man really doesn't hurt his back when he stands up and talks, he dares to play tricks, and wants to use me as a weapon.

So I said: "Head Wei's situation is unknown now, he might have been caught already, the action is too risky now, I think it's better to wait for news from Chief Wei before making any plans."
