Chapter 1234: Strange Guest
Sitting on the rickety car, Lin Ran was concentrating on studying the background of the ancient tomb in the middle of the lake.
Due to the unique geographical environment, Tibetan areas have numerous lakes of different sizes distributed in various regions.
Most of the scenery is beautiful, and famous lakes include Namtso.
Lin Ran had never heard of Mingyue Lake, located in northern Tibet.
Looking at the name, you can tell that it was named by Manya herself, because the locals do not know how to name it in Chinese.
In Tibetan areas, in addition to sky burials, there is also the tradition of water burials, which is not very common. However, it is also a custom to throw the corpse into the lake to feed the fish.
Building mausoleums has always been a custom for nobles. Most civilians use sky burials or tree burials, which are more casual than those in the Central Plains.
Therefore, it can be judged that what is located in the center of the lake is an ancient city or an ancient village, not a group of ancient tombs.
Global geography is constantly changing. Over the course of thousands of years, villages that were originally located in relatively low-lying areas may have been submerged.
Everything inside has probably been completely corroded by water, so it's probably not easy to find the complete items.
However, I don’t understand why there is a mine at the bottom.
The altitude of this mine should not be particularly high. After all, the deepest lake is only 30 meters.
If a mine can continuously produce Tianyan shale, it is valuable for mining.
Most of the information he bought from the herdsmen was written in Tibetan, and others could not understand it at all.
Wang Jinpeng came over curiously and asked, "Brother Lin, do you still understand Tibetan?"
"I can only understand roughly." Lin Ran usually studies when he has free time. He believes that learning without thinking is useless. If a person does not study or think, his brain will soon become dull.
Moreover, when I was young, my learning ability also improved rapidly.
My mind feels very clear when I am learning something. I can understand the basics just by watching the introductory tutorial.
Wang Jinpeng said: "Brother Lin is still very powerful. If it were me, I would faint immediately after reading this kind of book."
"You are a stupid guy, can you compete with top students?" A Ming smiled and asked, "Brother Lin, did you get any useful information from the book?"
There is no record about this lake. After all, there is a lack of geographers.
The information mainly shows the cultural origin of Tibetan areas.
If you don’t know it, their architectural style has actually been established as early as the middle of the seventh century AD. The old houses and special shapes of the Manya tribe you saw are actually thousands of years old.
If transportation is developed in the future and it is developed into a tourist city, Tibetan culture will definitely be promoted and it will also become a place where people's tourism resources are concentrated.
The most important thing is that it has a long history and must contain many cultural relics.
At this time, the bus trembled.
The driver cursed and opened the door: "You don't want your life, so you're just blocking the car like this?"
The two people who got into the car were a young man and a middle-aged man. The two men looked somewhat similar in facial features, so they should have a father-son relationship.
The young man said with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's too difficult to stop a car here. I'm sorry."
He smiled, took out 5 yuan from his pocket, handed it to the driver, and asked, "Shall we go to Linzhi?"
"Get in the car quickly." The driver originally wanted to scold them, but when he saw so much money, he just turned his face and asked them to get in the car quickly.
When you run a bus in a place like this, you don't even have a conductor, so you get to keep whatever money you make.
He didn't mind carrying two more passengers, either.
The two people closed the car door and walked to the back of the car first.
Before he got close, A Ming whispered to Lin Ran: "Brother Lin, these two people are traveling with us."
After entering the door, A Ming kept observing these two people.
What he means is that these two people are Tufuzi.
Lin Ran put down the book in his hand and asked with a smile: "How did you figure it out?"
"Did you see the backpacks they were carrying? The handles of the Luoyang shovels were exposed." A Ming whispered.
For some unknown reason, the two of them raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other with Lin Ran and A Ming.
A Ming felt a little embarrassed and immediately sat upright, dragging his chin with his hand and looking out the window, pretending to be nonchalant.
But at this moment, the middle-aged man stepped forward and came to them.
Seeing that he was about to meet Lin Ran, Wang Jinpeng stood up and blocked him.
"What are you doing? Isn't there a place in front?"
Wang Jinpeng pointed to the front row.
At this time, the car just started. Due to inertia, their bodies leaned forward unconsciously and almost fell down.
Because Wang Jinpeng was relatively heavy and had great inertia, he couldn't stand firmly and fell directly on top of the middle-aged man.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man's foot plate was so stable that he actually blocked Wang Jinpeng.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the door, and experts watch the excitement. Wang Jinpeng could tell from just one meeting that these two people were practicing masters.
He winked at Xu Ning and Lao Hei, motioning for them to lend a hand.
The young man patted the middle-aged man on the back, then stepped forward, smiled, clasped his fists and said, "Sorry, my dad is more direct in his work. I just heard a few people say they are colleagues. Are you interested in joining forces?"
Teaming up, as the name suggests, means that when a tomb robber encounters an ancient tomb that is difficult to open outside, and happens to meet someone with the same identity, he invites the other person to join his team temporarily and divides the money after the tomb is successfully robbed.
But this kind of partnership usually means being betrayed.
After all, he is a person of unknown origin, and the grave he is about to go to is usually more dangerous.
There are many traps in the ancient tomb, and it is easy to harm someone.
So, that's not something the industry usually does.
This request will only be made when you encounter a large tomb that cannot be solved and ensure that the cultural relics in the tomb are enough for everyone to share and be satisfied.
Wang Jinpeng was a little unhappy and looked at the middle-aged man: "What are you doing? You seem to be a little dissatisfied?"
"Young man, don't speak too arrogantly." The middle-aged man spoke.
At this time, the driver in the front seat finally heard their quarrel and shouted: "Stop arguing, if you want to fight, get out of the car."
It's impossible to drive in a place like this without being tough.
Those who can drive in a place like this have some background and are not afraid of gangsters at all.
After being yelled at for a few words, the two of them calmed down a little.
At this time, the young man pulled the middle-aged man down to a seat and arranged for him to sit down.
He came to a few people with a smile.
He cupped his fists and said, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Liu Yi. Are you here also for the Unknown Tomb?"
"Unknown tomb?" Lin Ran felt a little unfamiliar with the name.
Wang Jinpeng looked unhappy: "It's none of your business. Let's go our separate ways. Don't bother your grandpa."
