Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

The Zhengding Antique Market is on Yanzhao South Street. I washed my face and took a taxi there early in the morning. I didn't go shopping at the street stalls, so I went straight to the store.

"Boss, do you have any better old mountain ghosts here?"

The boss was eating breakfast, he put down the bowl and said, "Yes! Do you want the one with square or round holes?"

There are two types of mountain ghosts, square holes and round holes. Generally speaking, square holes are several times more expensive than round holes because there are fewer.

"Look at them all, I'll choose one." I said.

The boss lifted up the glass display case and was about to take it out. I hurriedly said, "Don't take these! These are replicas. I want the real century-old mountain ghost. If you don't have it, just tell me! I'll go to another store to find it."

The boss's face changed slightly, he may have realized that he has met a master today.

Not to mention big words, I can tell the authenticity of everything in his store by looking at it from a distance, and I don’t need to get started. In addition, the mountain ghosts on his counter are all old copper and new cast, and they are high-quality imitations that have been colored and covered. Taste.

"My friend, I also have the old mountain ghost here, but the price is expensive, costing thousands of dollars each."

I said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense! Take it out and have a look!"

The boss just took out two more pieces from the drawer. These two pieces looked warm and moist, with deep and steep inscriptions, and a clear pattern, but both of them had a little knock on the edge, so they were genuine.

"Brother bought it as a gift?" the boss asked again.

"Don't give it away, use it for yourself. I haven't been sleeping well recently, and I keep dreaming."

"Dreaming? Then I recommend you to buy this one, brother. Look at this one. Although it is a bit scratchy, there are still centuries-old cinnabar left!"

"How much?"

I don't care about small bumps, after all, it's hundreds of years old.

"Two thousand and six! Buy it now!"

The actual price of this thing should be around 1000 to [-] yuan back then. I paid back a few casually, and finally bought this square cinnabar mountain ghost for [-] yuan.

There are many places to look at to normally identify the authenticity of a mountain ghost, such as the sidewalk, copper color, patina, ground seal, etc. Because there are many high-quality imitations, it is difficult for laymen to distinguish between old and new. I will teach you two simple methods. , which is still applicable today.

One, listen to the sound.

Take another copper coin or a keychain, and gently bump it against the side of the mountain ghost coin. If there is a sound of "Ding..." and the lingering sound persists, it is a fake. This is because the inside of the new copper coin is The anger has not subsided completely, and the normal sound of real money is very crisp, without the lingering sound of ding ding.

Second, read the text.

It mainly depends on the word "Lv" in the face text "Hurry up like a law order". It is clear that this is a shortcoming of the modern foundry process.

After returning, I covered the mountain ghost wallet with a red cloth and pressed it under the pillow. It was night soon, because I had nothing to do, so I went to bed early.

There is an old saying in the folks, "If you don't do bad things, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door." I don't know what bad things I did, but in the middle of the night I dreamed of that naked girl again!Two nights in a row, I had the same dream!You say evil is not evil!The cinnabar mountain ghost under the pillow didn't seem to work.

I was forced to do that thing again in my dream, this time it took a long time, the process is omitted without description, and I was still on the boat, this time I did not do it voluntarily!I keep yelling!But can't make any sound!

When I woke up in the morning and looked at my bloodless face in the mirror, I began to panic.

I often dream of "ghost intercourse", or I have a physical problem. Chinese medicine says that people who do not communicate with the heart and kidney often have nightmares.

Disharmony between heart and kidney means kidney deficiency. How can I have kidney deficiency in my early twenties?Then there is another possibility, that is, I accidentally messed with something unclean.

There were only three things, so I decided to observe it for a day. As a result, I dreamed of the same woman for three consecutive days!The same scene!After three times, I obviously felt that my body was weak and I had no strength!

For my own situation, I immediately adjusted the countermeasures.

I went to the antique market again, and spent 3 yuan to find a three-inch gold-plated portable Buddha in the Tibetan style of the Qing Dynasty. Taoism doesn’t work, so I want to try Buddhism. If the portable Buddha doesn’t work, then I’m going to ask a friend to do it. A bronze statue of Emperor Zhenwu of the Ming Dynasty.

I burned incense in the room of the guest house, put the three-inch portable Buddha on the table, looked around carefully and said: "Sister, beauty, I am just passing by, move away immediately, don't pester me."

Clap!

When no one moved, the portable Buddha couldn't stand stably, and fell on the table by himself.

I turned pale with fright and ran out of the room in a hurry.

At noon that day, Sister Hong finally called me back.

"How's the investigation going, Miss Hong!"

During the phone call, Sister Hong said mysteriously, "Yunfeng, according to the news, the guy you are looking for is a man with an unknown age and a Sichuan accent."

"Sichuan accent!"

"From Sichuan? Not from Yongzhou?"

"It's definitely from Sichuan, that's definitely true." Sister Hong said firmly.

"Sister Hong, does this Sichuan native have any scars on his face?" I asked.

"I don't know, because he wears a mask and no one can see his face."

I was puzzled.

In fact, I have a suspect. I asked Du Juan to go to Yongzhou. I may have inquired about this person's latest news. This person is... Lao Hu, a forest ranger from Guizailing...

But now the news that Sister Hong gave me said that this Hecai guy is wearing a mask and speaks with a Sichuan accent, so the real identity of the other party is even more confusing, and it may be a stranger we don't know at all.

I said firmly: "No matter what, my plan will continue as usual. Can we meet? I will give you Mixiang."

"Yunfeng, is this Hecai guy really a threat to you?"

"Yes! Sister Hong, you don't know what we went through! It's too complicated, and I won't be able to explain it for a while. Anyway, you just trust me."

Sister Hong thought for a while and said, "I'm in Beijing, not far from your place. Let's meet up that night, and I'll go find you."

"What time is it?"

"About six or seven o'clock."

After reporting my address, I hung up the phone. I was very excited when I thought of seeing Sister Hong soon. I wondered whether her appearance had changed, whether she was still as charming as before, mature and moving.

I didn't want to stay in this guest house, so I went to the owner to discuss checking out. The owner of the guest house was away on business, but her wife was there.

"How can I live well, but suddenly I can't live anymore?"

I didn't say the reason directly, but guessed and asked: "Miss Boss, did someone die in the room upstairs where I live?"

The proprietress was taken aback, and immediately said loudly: "No way! How could someone die! I have been here for more than ten years and have never had an accident!"

I read countless people, and immediately saw that she was hiding something.

I sat down directly, lit a cigarette and pointed at her and said, "I said I lived in your house, and I hit a ghost, do you believe it? A woman! In her 20s."

"Young man! You can get your money back when you check out! You can eat food indiscriminately! But you can't say something nonsense!" The proprietress was obviously angry.

"I'm talking nonsense?"

"Why don't we switch tonight, I'll live with you, and you go up to live by yourself, do you dare?"

The proprietress' expression changed slightly after hearing this, and her eyes were a little erratic.

"Ugh!"

I yelled.

"what!"

"Scared me to death! What are you yelling!"

I shook my head, pushed the door straight out, and didn't need her to check out, since I wouldn't live here anyway.

As I was packing my luggage, the proprietress suddenly ran up to me and said, "Young man, I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's because the business has been difficult for the past two years. If this matter gets out, I won't be able to do it here!"

"Did someone die?"

The proprietress nodded, her eyes were terrified, she pointed to the bathroom and said, "Four years ago, a girl cut her wrist while lying in the bathtub. The blood was so bloody that it stained the water red."

"Your bathroom doesn't seem to have a bathtub?" I asked.

"It was still there at that time! Later, it was dismantled and replaced with a shower. Anyway, I told you about it. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. The eldest sister waived the room fee for these two days and gave you 300 yuan as compensation. You Can you see it?"

Before I made a statement, the proprietress said again: "To tell you the truth, the business has been normal in the past two years. The upstairs room is empty most of the time. Sometimes... I will hear the sound of the upstairs door closing in the middle of the night. , and the sound of running water."

The proprietress forced me to pay 300 yuan, and I followed her out after accepting it.

When they reached the stairs, the proprietress suddenly stopped and stood there motionless.

I yelled.

After hearing that, she slowly turned her head.
