Chapter 460: The Treasure of an Enemy Rich Country (2)
By chance, they discovered the existence of the Longyang clan and brought people to find it here.
Although the technological level at that time was not as high as it is now, there were many geniuses in that team. After they went to the ground, they actually overcome obstacles and went deep into the center of the underground palace. Every time they entered a place, a special person would draw a topographic map. As more and more maps, they found that the underground palace was very large, far beyond their imagination...
Speaking of this, Xie Wendong suddenly remembered Fu Hongliang who was accompanying him and said something. He said that he had seen a drawing that might be Lu Qianqiu. The drawing had nine floors in total, which was very similar to the structure of the underground palace. He originally thought that this underground palace was designed by Lu Qianqiu. Now, it is very likely that Lu Qianqiu was in the "Eight Gates" team at that time, and the drawing was drawn after he entered the underground palace. Moreover, that drawing is probably just the tip of the iceberg of the huge underground palace.
But it's not right. If that mummy is really Shi Shen, who made the Warring States parchment scroll. You should know that King Lu lived to die at the age of ninety, and the decades between them will become blank.
With questions, Xie Wendong listened patiently. Soon, Shen Shaopeng's narrative answered his question.
At the beginning, the "Eight Gates" team went smoothly. Later, more and more people died. One day, their team accidentally dug a cave, and almost all the people entering were wiped out.
Hearing this, Li Shuang screamed strangely: "No wonder, no wonder we saw so many bones in the Sniru Cave before. It seems that those people must be Shi Shen's subordinates."
Shen Shaopeng nodded: "I think so too... That experience almost caused a devastating blow to the Eight Gates. Without talent, everything could not continue. Shi Shen had no choice but to return to China temporarily and make plans for a long time. This wait took decades. At that time, the State of Lu was gradually declining and was almost destroyed. The King of Lu could no longer take out a lot of money and reorganized its huge actions as before.
Until his death, Shi Shin did not step into this area again.
After King Lu died, Shi Shen was already over seventy years old. In his twilight years, he still had the last wish to explore the underground palace of the Longyang clan again. He brought the 108 most confidants and quietly returned here. This time, he came prepared.
Perhaps God is pitiful to an old man in his seventies with such a firm determination. Before his death, he was finally lucky to see the second longan that he had dreamed of...
Xie Wendong, Li Shuang, Ren Changfeng and Zhang Yating were just immersed in the hearing, but Shen Shaopeng suddenly stopped and stopped talking.
Li Shuang, who was impatient, quickly asked: "What happened next? How could Shi Shen seal the second longan in the coffin? Where is the other six coffins here? What is this place?"
Shen Shaopeng shook his head: "It's gone."
Li Shuang said loudly, "It's gone"
Shen Shaopeng: "It's gone."
Li Shuang: "Hey, this old man Shi is really unreasonable. He is half too frightening to say."
Ren Changfeng was like a bone in his throat, clenched his fists: "Fuck, it's really disappointing."
"That's right, it made me happy. I thought that the old man Shishin could take us out. Unexpectedly, it would be such a fucking ending."
Although I knew the identity of the mummy, I still don’t know where the most important thing is. Everyone is more or less disappointed, and many knots in my heart have not been opened.
Xie Wendong was also a little discouraged, but he did not give up easily. He thought about the whole thing and saw what was missing. At this time, Li Shuang's complaints seemed to flash a purple lightning in Xie Wendong's mind. He said in a stern voice: "Xiao Shuang, what did you say just now?"
"What's wrong, Brother Dong." Li Shuang didn't understand why Xie Wendong asked like this.
Xie Wendong didn't have time to explain too much to him and repeated again: "What did you say just now?"
Li Shuang was swept away by Xie Wendong's sharp eyes and shuddered all over. He honestly said, "Fuck the ending."
"Not this, the first half."
Li Shuang thought about it carefully and stammered: "Shishen... the old man... can take us out...?"
Xie Wendong's eyes lit up and he snapped his fingers: "We want Shi Shen to take us out."
After hearing Xie Wendong's words, the few people around him couldn't believe their ears. Ren Changfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Shi Shen is dead, why did he take us out?"
"Yes, dead people can't speak." Li Shuang, like Ren Changfeng, did not turn this corner.
Zhang Yating, who had not spoken, thought for a while and took the conversation: "Brother Dong means that since Shi Shen can go out once and dare to come in again, he must have some support. Didn't he draw the drawings of the underground palace for the first time? He must have used those drawings."
"Smart" Xie Wendong said happily: "Look for, go find those drawings." "It should be in Shi Shen's personal belongings."
They did it as soon as they said, Ren Changfeng, Li Shuang and others were already impatient and started looking for something. In order to take care of Zhang Yating, the two of them took the initiative to check the seventh coffin, which was the coffin containing the mummy. Zhang Yating checked the bronze wine jar around her on the spot. As for Xie Wendong, he helped Shen Shaopeng sort out the bamboo slips to see if there were any important details missing.
Soon, the careful Zhang Yating discovered that the wine jar has two layers inside and outside. The inside is a tiled inner liner, and the outside is bronze, which is a bit like the thermos bottle we use now. If the inner liner is taken out, things can be hidden there.
When she said this, Zhang Yating had already taken action. Sure enough, an old piece of sheepskin was lying quietly at the bottom of the wine jar. She was about to take action, but Xie Wendong stopped her: "I'll do it." Without waiting for Zhang Yating to agree, he reached into the wine jar and took out the things inside.
Many people wonder why people were used to using heavy bamboo slips to record texts since they had sheepskin with excellent preservation ability. There are two main reasons.
First of all, bamboo slices are easier to obtain than sheepskin and are cheaper to build. In that era when there was no food or clothing, the value of a sheepskin was no less than that of a mobile phone today.
Secondly, sheepskin is prone to deterioration, change, and wrinkle. If you want to make a writing tool, the process is very cumbersome and complicated. Therefore, people only choose lightweight sheepskin when making maps.
Let’s look at the sheepskin in Xie Wendong’s hand.
