The imprint of the tiger talisman on Tang Sancheng's body was the reason why Xiao Ning followed him. Only Xiao Ning knew the reason. Tang Sancheng only knew that he had this imprint on his body since he was picked up by his father, because the imprint looked like a tiger.
When he was a child, his father always liked to call him little tiger, little tiger. Only when he met Bai Yi did he realize that it was the shape of a military talisman.
Xiao Ning was not careful that Bai Yi asked about this at this time, and seemed a little panicked. After thinking for a long time, he finally said: "Before his death, besides telling me to go to the water coffin, my father also asked me to do one thing."
"What's the matter?" Bai Yi asked.
"He asked me to find a man with the mark of the military talisman on his body." Xiao Ning said: "He just said it casually. At that time, I still thought it was strange that someone would have the mark of the military talisman on his body. I just thought it was the nonsense my father said in retrospect.
But when I saw Tang Sancheng in the bathhouse, I realized that this person really existed in the world."
"Your dad only talked about this person but didn't explain why?" This is a bit confusing.
"I wasn't around when he died, and I couldn't ask him clearly. But my dad didn't have many things in his life that he could care about. When he was about to die, there were only two things, one of which was the water coffin.
He was fooled by his colleagues and was unwilling to accept what happened there. As for this incident, I don’t know what is involved." Xiao Ning felt that Bai Yi was still suspicious, and added: "I didn’t say it at first because I thought
I don’t know if I can tell you. I was silent afterwards because I didn’t know where to start. What’s the difference between this and an unsolved case?”
Xiao Ning didn't lie. Bai Yi studied psychology abroad. If a person makes a lot of small movements when speaking, such as blinking, touching the nose, crossing hands, avoiding other people's eyes, etc., it all shows the person's psychological activities.
It was very intense, and what this person said was unbelievable, but Xiao Ning stared at the two of them closely from the beginning to the end, without any hesitation. Bai Yi sighed: "The mystery of the mark on Tang Sancheng's body is really a mystery now.
It’s no longer a case.”
Tang Sancheng chuckled muffledly: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? By the way, Xiao Ning, did your father leave anything behind when he passed away? Is there anything you can follow?"
"Well, there is a box, but I can't open it." Xiao Ning looked a little distressed: "I have never seen the lock on it. I have found many locksmiths, and they all said that this kind of lock is of excellent craftsmanship.
It has been lost a long time ago, so there is nothing we can do about it.”
Box? Bai Yi and Tang Sancheng looked at each other: "Where is the box now?"
"Of course I am here. This is what my father left behind." Xiao Ning glanced sadly outside, and now the sun was shining brightly outside the cave: "If we can go out, I will take you there
Look at that box."
The three of them suddenly fell into silence. Now in this mountain, if you take a step forward, you may go deeper. You must be careful every step, and every step will be scary.
At this moment, Qixie and Lei Zi came back with food. Seeing the fish, Tang Sancheng immediately lay down next to the fire, blew on the fire food, and let the fire rise again. After replenishing the energy, Bai Yi
The map was laid out on the ground, and when he saw the layer of oil paper outside the map, Lei Zi looked at Bai Yi even more differently.
"We are roughly here." Bai Yi pointed to one of the mountains and said, "Our problem now is the direction. We have to go south to get out all the way. If the direction is wrong, we can only go deeper."
"It's simple. Now that the sun is shining high, we can check the direction according to the sun, and we can find the south." After speaking, Lei Zi couldn't wait to run outside. It was already noon, facing the sun, facing
The direction is exactly south, so the direction of progress is clear.
The five of them packed up and headed due south. In order to avoid losing their way, Lei Zi used a knife to carve cross shapes on the trees as a mark. He didn't know how long they had walked, but the sun was slowly facing the west.
Moving south, Xiao Ning's steps became slower and slower. She was a girl after all, and her physical strength was no match for these big men. Her foot suddenly gave way and she fell into the small ditch next to her...
Hearing Xiao Ning's cry, the others ran over, but saw Xiao Ning's eyes widening, pointing to the place covered by weeds in front of him: "Look, what is there?"
Lei Zi quickly went over, pushed aside the weeds, and saw a smooth red stone covering it, like an arch bridge. When he got closer, he discovered that it was red bricks. These red bricks were built in an arc, which was different from ordinary
The difference between the bricks is that these bricks are engraved with patterns similar to the shape of fish or coins. Lei Zi waved to Bai Yi and the others: "Come here quickly, this seems to be the top of the tomb."
"It is indeed the location of the Dragon Vein. You can find it just by walking around." Tang Sancheng murmured and walked towards there. He saw those red bricks. If Xiao Ning hadn't fallen down and caught a glimpse of them accidentally, they would most likely have ended up there.
Leave from the side.
Bai Yi saw the patterns on the red bricks clearly and said: "This is a typical tomb style of Central Plains tombs. There are money and fish in the tomb brick decorations, which shows that the living have a kind of sustenance for the dead."
The five people worked together to eradicate the weeds near the red bricks, and the arched door made of red bricks was exposed to everyone. It was about two meters high, and the bricks were tightly connected. There were no signs of being stolen. It seemed that it was the first time.
Once someone discovered it, Lei Zi was so excited that he pushed it over with his feet and kicked a red brick into pieces. Several people used their hands and feet to tear out a hole in the arched door for one person to enter and exit. Lei Zi got in first and clapped his hands.
After looking around, he said: "This tomb really looks like a cave dwelling. It's all gray and white inside. It's not too long, only four meters long, and only two meters wide. It's not a big tomb, but it's well-constructed. There should be some work inside.
It’s not good to have meat dumplings.”
This place is an ordinary tomb. Most of them don't have any mechanisms. It's simple. It's cost-effective to dump it when you find the way out. After Bai Yi got in, he was immediately attracted by the patterns on the wall. There were fish on it.
There are four types of decorations: money pattern, night vein pattern, and grate comb pattern. Look at the top again: "This is a convex-shaped brick chamber tomb."
It was empty inside. There was no coffin. There was only a piece of writing with an inkstone and a pen on it. Bai Yi said: "There is not even a coffin. This is not like a tomb, but more like a study room."
Tang Sancheng saw something like a wooden bed in the corner: "Bai Yi, do you think that looks like a bed?"
Really, it's a wooden shelf, does the dark thing on it look like a quilt? "Is this where the tombkeeper lives?" Qixie said.
Xiao Ning looked here curiously, and was surprised when she saw the patterns on the wall. She glanced at it and saw a black figure in the corner, so she walked towards it. When she got closer, she said "Ah"
