Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 194 8 Sipa Script

"That foreigner must have ransacked the place; there probably isn't anything good left."

Not only Chen Wenjin, but Cheng Feng also felt the same way.

But empty tomb chambers are also very useful; they can serve as temporary storage, making it convenient to hide things inside.

Even if Cheng Feng doesn't need it, the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect will definitely need it in the future.

"Would you like to come and take a look together?"

When Cheng Feng asked them, both women shook their heads at the same time.

"I still need to take care of things at the base, and the house renovation also needs someone to oversee it."

“I still have a lot of accounts that I haven’t finished checking, and I’ve already arranged with Ah Xiang that she will go and help.”

Seeing this, Cheng Feng did not insist.

"Then I'll go by myself. Don't forget to buy food for Xiaohua and Zhulong."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone bring it over tonight."

After Chen Wenjin agreed, Cheng Feng returned to the storage room.

I casually put Xiaoman and the other two into my backpack and then walked into the underground passage.

We brought Xiaoman and the others along to prevent the passage from collapsing, so that we could dig another road if necessary.

Following the passage downwards, you reach the end where you find a wall that has been cut open.

After Cheng Feng entered, he looked around.

This is a tomb chamber, about thirty square meters in size, with a wooden coffin placed in the center.

The coffin lid was open at this time.

The surrounding walls should have originally had murals and epitaphs, but they have now been vandalized.

Judging from the marks, it was dug up and taken away by someone.

"These foreign devils are even more ruthless than us Xieling people; they didn't even leave us any murals."

Seeing this, Cheng Feng had already given up all hope for the tomb.

After sighing, Cheng Feng went to the coffin, where, unsurprisingly, only the skeleton of the deceased remained.

Apart from that, it's spotless.

"You're really unlucky. Instead of staying in this sad place, you should go somewhere else."

As he spoke, Cheng Feng put the coffin into the imaginary space.

This place is going to be used as a warehouse in the future, so what's the point of leaving a worthless coffin here?

Looking at the empty tomb chamber, Cheng Feng pondered the possibility of expansion.

"Let's take another look at the side chambers and see if we can connect them to the main burial chamber."

Thinking it over, Cheng Feng turned and walked towards the tomb passage on one side.

After walking about ten meters along the tomb passage, Cheng Feng arrived at the first side chamber.

"Hmm, a warehouse that doesn't need cleaning."

There was nothing there at first glance, and Cheng Feng walked towards the side chamber without looking back.

There were some things left in this side room.

There was a dilapidated bookshelf in the corner.

There are still remnants of weathered paper books on the ground.

"Those foreigners are really something else."

Having gained nothing, Cheng Feng cursed under his breath, then opened the Boundless Demon Eye and took the bookshelf.

At this moment, Cheng Feng, who was about to leave, paused.

"I almost misjudged it; I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain."

Cheng Feng stopped in his tracks and went back to where the bookshelf had been.

Crouching down behind him, Cheng Feng raised his hand and punched the wall in front of him.

Bang

After a muffled thud, several cracks appeared on the wall, and then several broken blue bricks fell to the ground.

It exposed a space the size of a human head.

Cheng Feng looked down and found that there was only one gold ingot inside.

After taking it out, Cheng Feng examined it closely.

This ingot is about 15 centimeters long and 3 centimeters thick, and its shape is horseshoe-shaped.

It has developed black rust due to weathering.

The entire gold ingot is covered with densely packed characters, each the size of a grain of rice, making it difficult for ordinary people to discern the specific characters.

"It's written in Mongolian script. Could the tomb's occupant have been from the Mongol Yuan dynasty?"

These Mongolian characters happened to hit a blind spot in Cheng Feng's knowledge.

"It seems I'll have to have my men inquire about people who can read Mongolian."

Cheng Feng was certain that this gold ingot was extraordinary. He carefully placed it in his backpack and left.

After returning to the storage room through the underground passage, Cheng Feng first released the three little ones.

After letting them play on their own, I took my backpack and returned to the villa.

At this time, only Huo Xin was left cleaning at home. She greeted Cheng Feng when he returned.

Cheng Feng placed his backpack beside him and then said:

"Xiao Xin, go and have your men find a few people who are proficient in Mongolian."

"Take my car, here are the keys."

Huo Ling caught the car keys Cheng Feng tossed to her and agreed:

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and inform them right away."

After saying that, Huo Xin quickly left the villa.

Huo Xin returned in her car an hour later, returned the car keys to Cheng Feng, and then continued tidying up the house.

At this moment, Cheng Feng was also considering whether he should install a telephone at home.

"I'll mention it to Wenjin tonight, otherwise it'll be too much trouble."

As the master's personal secretary, Chen Wenjin was truly indispensable; she could handle even the most trivial matters very well.

That evening, three trucks drove into Cheng Fengxin's courtyard.

After getting off the vehicle, Chen Wenjin directed the Xieling brothers to unload seven freshly slaughtered cattle from the vehicle.

Then they unloaded three sofas and a chaise lounge from the two cars behind.

Chen Wenjin kept Cheng Feng's instructions in mind. With these sofas, everyone would have a place to rest.

"Just leave these cows here, everyone lend a hand and move the sofa inside."

At Chen Wenjin's command, everyone lifted the sofa and chaise lounge and followed Chen Wenjin to the villa entrance.

Cheng Feng heard the commotion and came out.

"Always in charge!"

The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect, who were carrying the sofa, greeted him.

Cheng Feng nodded to everyone and said:

"Okay, let's move the things inside."

After arranging the sofas, everyone respectfully bid farewell to Cheng Feng and drove away.

When Chen Wenjin returned after seeing his men off, he saw Cheng Feng sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.

"Old Cheng, Xiao Xin said you're looking for someone who can speak Mongolian?"

Sitting down next to Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin asked softly.

Cheng Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I found a gold ingot covered in Mongolian writing down there, and I plan to have someone translate it."

"Gold ingots?"

Chen Wenjin was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the foreigners would actually leave behind such a good thing.

"This gold ingot is a bit unusual; it was hidden in a secret compartment in the side chamber."

Hearing this, Chen Wenjin also became interested and quickly asked:

"Where are the gold ingots? Let me see them!"

Cheng Feng pointed to the backpack in the corner and said:

"It's in the bag, it's wrapped in the top layer of cloth."

After hearing this, Chen Wenjin got up, walked to his backpack, opened it, and took out the gold ingot that was wrapped up.

After sitting down on the sofa, Chen Wenjin lifted the outer cloth.

Then he carefully examined the rusted gold ingot.

After a moment, Chen Wenjin frowned slightly and said:

"Old Cheng, something's not right. The writing on this isn't traditional Mongolian."

It looks more like Phagspa script to me.

"Oh?"

Cheng Feng raised an eyebrow, not particularly surprised.

Phagspa script is a unique script created by Phagspa, the national preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty.

It was used as the official script during the Yuan Dynasty.

Moreover, Phagspa script, like Mongolian script, is a phonetic script, so it's normal for Cheng Feng to have made a mistake.
