Chapter 335 is the Tomb of the King of Nanxi
Pushing Lao Miao aside, he used both hands to dig open a small mound of loosened soil, and soon, four large characters with an ancient feel appeared before everyone's eyes.
Mu Zhenguang could tell from the expressions of the male protagonists that they all understood oracle bone script.
Are these guys really that overpowered? Mu Yunya's memory doesn't include anything about being proficient in oracle bone script.
This indicates that their curriculum does not include these things, and it seems that Huangfu Zique also understands that scripture.
Is there anything in the literary world that they are not good at?
Oracle bone script? They can actually understand that? How are their brains structured? It's like they can learn anything and then instantly understand it.
No wonder he gets cast as the male lead; with that level of intelligence, even a thousand of my fathers couldn't match him.
Mu Zhen's mind was racing, but her face remained surprisingly calm. She wanted to ask the male protagonists with her eyes if there were any records about the general's wife.
Unfortunately, no one had time to visit him at that moment.
Not to mention the experts who are even more impatient than the male protagonist.
The moment those four large characters were revealed, the few experts in the room who knew a little about oracle bone script all prostrated themselves on the stone slab like devout believers, trying to decipher each character one by one.
Emperor Tianhuang, half-squatting with his gold-rimmed glasses on top, smiled knowingly: "King Zhou west actually came to the south back then."
"Hahaha, the tomb of King Xi of Zhou! This is the tomb of King Xi of Zhou! We actually stumbled upon the tomb of King Xi of Zhou by accident! My God, am I dreaming?"
The two elderly experts shook hands and cheered excitedly, as if they were going crazy.
Mu Zhen's eyes widened.
【What? The tomb of King Xi of Zhou?】
He turned to look at Yun Dan.
Yun Dan nodded to the woman.
Mu Zhen opened her mouth in astonishment. It really was true!
I learned about King Zhou west in junior high school; he was a particularly remarkable figure from three thousand years ago.
Among the fifteen princes vying for the throne, he was the tenth, and although his maternal family's status was neither high nor low, his appeals were the loudest.
Historical records show that he survived no fewer than a hundred attempts by his brothers to kill him, and countless open and covert struggles, yet he always stood at the pinnacle of the power struggle for the throne.
Unfortunately, at the most crucial moment, he was betrayed by his own brothers in the same camp.
That situation was no less intense than the struggle for the throne among the nine princes in the Qing Dynasty, where the eighth prince was about to win, only to be stabbed in the back by the ninth prince, whom he trusted most.
Ironically, the one who ultimately rose to power wasn't the brother who betrayed him, but rather his greatest rival who outmaneuvered him.
When King Zhouxi realized that his brother had betrayed him, he made the same choice as Emperor Tianhuang.
Instead of staying behind to fight against other forces, he decisively led his troops to retreat westward.
But for some reason, he didn't go back to fight, but instead completely disappeared.
It turns out he didn't go to the west, but came to the south.
Mu Zhen couldn't predict whether King Zhou Xi's tomb contained treasures, but the value of this tomb far exceeded that of Lady Di's treasure.
Didn't you see how excited that group of people were?
"Damn, Gray Wolf, you knew all along?" The dwarf fox pointed at the stone tablet and looked at Gray Wolf in surprise.
Gray Wolf's face also showed disbelief as he shook his head blankly: "How would I know any of this? I just felt that the entrance to the tomb should be in this area!"
"There must be some basis for this, right? Can I ask you for your opinion?" an expert next to him asked ingratiatingly.
"Divination, feng shui, mountain observation and shape analysis..." Gray Wolf had one hand behind his back, head held high, exuding the air of a mysterious and unpredictable master.
As a string of technical jargon was uttered, the expert almost cried.
Well, the ancients were indeed very particular about these things, and not everything can be explained by science.
The dwarf fox couldn't help but cough, then smiled and remained silent. The gray wolf was using that trick of a con artist again.
Don't think he didn't know; Gray Wolf didn't do any feng shui calculations at all on this trip.
Perhaps the master's notebook contained something that allowed the gray wolf to reap a ready-made advantage.
Long Yuan remembered why he had come here, so he abandoned the stone tablet and ordered everyone to continue digging around it.
Two hours later.
Wow! A tomb from three thousand years ago!
"So this is where the entrance is. The passageway looks very deep, no wonder we couldn't detect anything."
"No, we pushed the stone door open so easily just now, which means someone has been here before. Are the burial objects of King Zhou west still here?"
"Wait a minute! Do you think Lady Di might have been hiding in the tomb of King Zhou west?"
"I hope it's not what we're guessing, or I'll cry my eyes out!"
A group of experts stood at the dark entrance of the cave, whispering among themselves, their voices filled with worry.
Since Lady Di was going to take the treasure into the tomb of King Zhou west, and the tomb of King Zhou west was obviously damaged by tomb robbers, was the treasure really still there?
"Let's go!" Emperor Tianhuang waved to his bodyguards.
Ten armed bodyguards led the way, and even under the bright spotlights, the passageway, only two meters wide, seemed endless.
As people traveled, they did not forget to leave lights along the way to facilitate future passage.
After walking for a full half hour, they finally arrived at a large stone chamber connected to a passageway. The bodyguards gestured for everyone to step back.
Looking at the open stone gate, everyone's expression was not good.
Flying Eagle touched a palm-sized iron button on the wall.
He bent down and picked up a rusty iron rod from the ground, examined it closely, and came to a rough conclusion.
He turned and walked to Emperor Tianhuang, presenting him with the iron rod: "Master, the mechanism has been deliberately sabotaged. Judging from the extent of the damage..."
This must have happened within the last few hundred years!
The gray wolf immediately thought of his ancestor; if it really was him, then the treasure might still be there.
He had never heard of his ancestor obtaining any large treasure.
Emperor Tianhuang tilted his head, indicating that the iron rod should be handed over to the experts for appraisal.
The two young experts had already brought out their equipment when they saw what appeared to be a metal crowbar on the ground, ready to examine it at any moment.
"Damn it!" Huangfu Zique cursed at the wide-open stone gate.
He felt an indescribable disappointment. He didn't care much about the other treasures; his main concern was the missing twelve zodiac animals.
Let's not let them make a wasted trip.
Fu Tingyu waited until the bodyguards who had gone inside lit up the stone chamber before slowly stepping in, still harboring some doubts.
"Ayu, what are you thinking about?" Huangfu Zique nudged his friend, who was deep in thought, with his elbow.
Fu snapped out of his reverie, his worried expression vanishing, replaced by a gentle warmth. In the blink of an eye, he had regained his gentlemanly demeanor: "I recall historical records stating that before Lady Di's family rose to prominence, they didn't seem to have much of a foundation or legacy."
His fame suddenly soared, and within three years his business had spread across ten prefectures and counties.
"You tell me..." He smiled slightly at his four friends, his words carrying a pointed meaning: "Where did the enormous funds that supported the Di family's business come from?"
Emperor Tianhuang glanced around at the stone statues scattered around the stone chamber, nodded knowingly, and said, "If that's the case, then many things make sense."
