Snake Swamp Ghost Town Chapter 9 Video Tape

Just as I was chatting with my third uncle, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and then a courier walked in and asked who was me?

Only my family and some people from Aning's side knew about my stay here, so I thought it was a condolence gift sent to me from my family or information from abroad, so I took it without paying much attention. Recommended for reading the first novel, go to Yankuai Reading. After I signed my name and looked carefully at the sender, I realized that the signature on the package turned out to be Zhang Qiling.

At that moment, I was stunned for a moment, and then I felt cold all over.

During this period of time here, I have gradually forgotten what happened in Changbai Mountain. It can be said that except for fear, other memories are basically covered by trivial things. But these three-character names, suddenly The child tightened the dull string in my heart again, and the memories of the recent past suddenly flooded into my mind.

Why would he send me something? Didn't he enter the huge bronze door? Has he already come out? ...When was this sent? Was it before or after he entered Genting? I immediately looked at the date on the package, and my eyelids jumped when I saw it: it turned out to be four days ago.

So he really came out! He came out of the giant door!

My hands started to shake. The scene of the stuffy oil bottle walking into the giant underground bronze door flashed through my mind. I looked at the package in my hand, and my heart became confused. I thought, what could this be? Could it be that he brought this out from the bronze door?

What could that be? Human heads, visible objects? Ghost jade seal?

I don't know how many weird thoughts passed through my mind. After a long time, I suddenly realized that I should open it immediately and look around for scissors.

The third uncle on the side saw my expression changed drastically. He didn't know what I had received, so he came over to take a look curiously. When he saw the three words Zhang Qiling, he also took a breath and showed an expression of extreme shock.

The two of them rummaged around for a long time. Finally, the third uncle found a fruit knife and handed it to me, and I was able to cut open the protective box outside the package.

There was a package wrapped in the box. The package was square in shape, with several crosses neatly marked on the outside with plastic tape. It was very difficult to tear. It took a lot of effort before I tore a hole, and two black objects were exposed inside. My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, I paused and took a deep breath. With a strong tug, I pulled out two black objects.

At that moment, I was ready to see anything scary, but what I saw still made me dumbfounded - they turned out to be two black old-fashioned video tapes.

My mind was in such a mess just now that I thought about almost everything, except that I didn't expect that there would be two video tapes in it. Because of that person, you can easily associate him with some coffin. But it’s really hard to make any connection between him and an outdated modern device like video tape.

I x, why would he send me something like this? What's inside?

My heart skipped a beat, and a thought came to my mind. It couldn't be the scene after he entered the bronze door. Could it be that he took a photo of what happened behind the bronze door?

I x, if it’s true, that would be too...but it’s impossible when I think about it. I didn’t see him carrying the camera inside at that time. And I believe that the place behind the bronze door won’t be a good place, and it shouldn’t be easy to carry a camera for filming.

What could that be? My heart suddenly felt like countless ants crawling, and I wanted to play it right away.

However, the appearance and materials used of these two video tapes are very old-fashioned. It can be said that they are quite old. “I knew you had to have an old-fashioned projector to play it, and that kind of thing is hard to find these days.

The third uncle motioned for me to turn it over and take a look, so I threw the package aside, took out the two video tapes, and first looked carefully to see if there was any information marked on the side of the video tapes.

I'm no stranger to videotape. Ten years ago, the streets were still full of video rental stores. Watching foreign feature films is almost my only entertainment. At that time, it was a given that I would play five games a day during the holidays, so I had more exposure. Naturally, I also have some understanding of the structure of this thing. I know that usually the video tapes I record will have something written on the back, otherwise it will be unrecognizable.

It's a bit strange at first glance. There was indeed a label on its back before, but now it has been torn off. The marks on the torn off are very new. It was obviously not long after it was torn off. It seems that the stuffy oil bottle doesn't want us to see it. Label on this side.

Why is this? Everything has been sent to us, and the labels on the sides have to be torn off. Is there something on it that I can’t know?

"What's going on?" At this time, the third uncle picked up the package on the ground, shook it, made sure there was nothing inside, and asked me, "Elder nephew, you are not so fucking kind, why didn't you tell me that you and I Is he still in contact?"

I shook my head and said absolutely not. The third uncle patted the belt and asked how to explain this? I said: "Ask me and I will ask who to go to. "

Third Uncle saw that I didn't look like I was lying, so he frowned and said, "Then this guy has great powers, how does he know you are here?"

I'm also surprised that after I came out of Yunding, only Aning's group and family knew my address. He didn't have my information, but he was able to send me things accurately. This was actually quite difficult. No one collected information for him. It's impossible to do. It seems that the water behind this taciturn man is really unfathomable.

The third uncle thought for a while and asked me if it was written on the receipt where the parcel was sent from? I picked up the receipt, looked at it, and shook my head. There was only the sender and date on it, and the rest was completely blank. Not only was the address of the place of origin not written, but the place of origin was not indicated. I really don’t know how this express delivery works.

But the date was four days ago. Express delivery within the province usually arrives in one day, and delivery from outside the province only takes two days. This express delivery took four days to be sent. The place of delivery is either very far from here or quite remote, and the transportation is very difficult. Inconvenient place. I can check the courier company's computer system if they have online registration. You will know once you look it up.

After saying that, my third uncle and I looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This sudden thing disrupted the third uncle's narrative. For a moment, I didn't know what to do with this belt. The third uncle said: "Niece, why don't we pause first? This little brother is secretive, and he won't send things out of nowhere. These two tapes may be of great importance. Let's go find the video recorder first and see what's being recorded in it. ?”

I listened and shook my head. I said no, although I am very concerned about the content in this videotape, but the third uncle does not have a specific clue about what I am describing. I will pause now and wait for his mood to change. I may not be able to say anything yet. And video recorders have been out of production for almost ten years, and now even VCDs have been eliminated. It’s hard to find it at the flea market, so I won’t be able to find this tape for a while.

However, if it is impossible to pretend that these two video tapes do not exist, I will say that we continue to talk about ours and ask your guy to ask where there is a flea market in this city, and then go and see if there is such a machine. Just buy it if you don't have it. I went online at night to think of a solution.

After hearing this, the third uncle thought it made sense and said: "That's okay. Anyway, we will talk about this little brother's affairs next." After that, he waved his hand and asked the waiter to do it.

The guy listened to the third uncle's story with great interest. Now he was sent away, a little reluctantly, but he gave the third uncle a glare. I no longer have a temper.

After the guy left, the third uncle patted his face and said, "Then let's talk faster. Where did I just say it?"

I repeated what I just heard to him, and the third uncle nodded: "Yes, the key is the content of the silk book. The foreigner has a deep connection with the Warring States silk books. This matter is quite complicated, and I have to tell you from the beginning. My eldest nephew, you have been in business for a long time, how much do you know about the Warring States Period silk books?"

I thought about it. Do one thing and become familiar with it. Although I don’t really like the rubbing business, the profits are too thin and the people I interact with are a bit weird. However, after so many years of doing this, I still have a relatively deep understanding of this industry.

The Warring States silk scripts cannot be regarded as the main type of rubbings. Just look at the name and you will know that the Warring States silk scripts are the Warring States silk scripts. However, in fact, the scope of the Warring States period is relatively narrow. At the time of formal trading, things from the Spring and Autumn Period were also Count it in the Warring States Period. There are very few original copies of Warring States silk books on the market, and they are very precious. Because of the different tomb sites where they were unearthed, they are divided into Chu silk books, Wei silk books, etc. The contents of these silk books are also different. The most precious among them is the Lu silk, which is now recognized as Lu silk. I can count it on ten fingers, and they are not complete. Although there are other fake things, they are not true or false. It is difficult to distinguish and generally not recognized by the authorities.

Lu silk scripts are not a single type. They are divided into several small categories according to the size of the fonts and rubbings. The most precious among them is a kind of Lu yellow silk. The reason is very simple, that is, the characters on it are incomprehensible to others.

The writing and grammar recorded on this kind of silk book are very weird. I can know the meaning of each word, but I can't read it. We know that China’s eight heavenly books: "Cangjie Book", "Xia Yu Book", "Hongyan Book", "Yelang Book", "Bashu Symbols", Tadpole Script, "Dongba Book" and "Xuji Stele" are all written words. It is a unique copy and cannot be deciphered. However, the text on the Luhuang silk seems to be a code. The foreign archaeological community calls this kind of Luhuang silk the "Chinese magic book" because when read according to the arrangement, it is like a spell for dancing gods.

However, this code had already been cracked in 1974. This was an ancient code that converted images into text and was later called "Warring States Calligraphy and Pictures". I looked up the information myself after hearing about this term from my third uncle. This was a big discovery, but another incident that happened in 1974 was too famous, so this archaeological event did not cause a sensation.

Nowadays, in the general trading of rubbings of silk scrolls from the Warring States Period, this kind of Lu silk is very popular, and there are many people looking for it. Some time ago, I heard that according to archaeological research, there may be as many as 120 volumes of this kind of Lu silk. I don’t know where I came from, but I know that the four to five pieces of silk that are actually in circulation are They are all things that real professionals can read and cannot be found on the Internet, and foreigners especially like them, so many brokers search for these things in various places, hoping to find unique copies. If you want to find rare Lu silk books, you need to go to a rubbing shop to scan the shop, because we purchase rubbings in large batches and do not classify them. They are of various origins and are usually piled there. If you are interested You might be able to find someone who is not popular, and if you find such a person, they usually won't make it public and will go back and do your own research, so business in this market is relatively easy to do.

The piece of silk that my grandfather stole from the ancient tomb was the Luhuang silk. However, because something happened to him, we didn’t dare to show it off. My grandfather was very famous in the world, and there were many people who asked about it. , it can also be regarded as a treasure in my store.

Now we also know that this kind of Luhuang silk should be the iron-faced miscellany of the Warring States period. This guy, like Leonardo da Vinci, uses the words he created to write miscellaneous notes, which is very mystical. I also studied this thing after I came out of the Lu Palace. It is said that in human history, anyone who uses cipher text to record things did it because they discovered something that subverted the world view at that time and were afraid of being criticized by mainstream forces (such as Da ※ # 8226;The Catholic Church during the Finch period) had to take measures to obliterate it.

This is all I know about silk books. I told this to my third uncle, who nodded and said: "You're right. After squatting in the manhole for a long time, you can still hum even if you don't poop." After saying that, he took out his broken bag from under the bed and pulled it from inside. I took out a wrinkled photo, took it, and found that it was a Warring States silk book that was taken in the museum window. Judging from the arrangement of the words on it, it should be the original copy that my grandfather stole and was deceived by the Americans. .

"This is something that should have belonged to our family." The third uncle said, "When I went to the United States three years ago, I took a photo of it at the New York Museum. The whole thing happened because of this thing. It's really fateful to think about it. It is doomed that four generations of our family have been involved in this matter as if they were cursed. This is why I don’t want you to get involved. I hope this matter can stop with me. "

Four generations, yes, I suddenly felt emotional and asked: "What exactly is written on it?"

The third uncle smiled and said: "I said it just now. You would never guess it unless I said it. In fact, there is nothing written on the silk book. What is translated from the silk book is not words, but a mysterious figure. "

"Graphic?" I frowned, remembering the Warring States Period silk book from Qixing Lu Palace, "Is it also a map of an ancient tomb?"

The third uncle shook his head and said: "It's not a map, it's much more complicated than a map. This matter is difficult to explain in one sentence. Before going to Xisha, the foreigner told me all these things. I will repeat them and you will understand after listening." ..
