Chapter 48 Snake Eyebrow Bronze Fish

My mind suddenly wandered. In fact, I felt that more and more clues were appearing during this period, but because the previous mysteries were too confusing. So once you have new ideas, it becomes particularly confusing. I thought of the marks in the tombs under the sea. Only when Menyouping saw this did he know that he had been there. Now that he has carved the marks, could it be that! ! Did he know that he would lose his memory? So I left my own mark in advance. So that when the next time comes, you can remember it with the mark?

It was so messy, my head started to hurt again, at this time. Aning and Fatty greeted me, and I was startled. When I looked back, they were letting me pass, so I simply didn’t want to think about it anymore, folded the note, stuffed it back into my pocket, and left. past.

Aning handed me a bottle of water. I took a sip and she said: Mr. Wang and I had a talk and we are officially ready to cooperate. What do you think?

cooperate? I saw the shape of her breasts under her tight-fitting clothes, and remembered what happened on the boat. I didn't dare to face it. I thought of Menyou Ping's warning and Third Uncle's words, and I didn't know what to say.

Found the third uncle. I actually feel at ease. There is also an element of selfishness in this peace, that is, you can go out. In fact, what I thought in my heart was that I could get out of this place, but as the third uncle said, we seem to be very close to the truth. It seems that the third uncle himself also has a puzzle. If he is rescued like this, he may also have a question. I don’t know, it’s okay if we can forget. If not, with Uncle San’s character, it will definitely happen again. Can I just sit idly by and ignore it?

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, How can we cooperate with you? Tell us. To be honest, I really want to consider cooperating with you.

Seeing my appearance, she smiled and shook her head: Well, I didn't have time to say goodbye to you on the island. Now thank you for saving me. I was in the sea... There was a reason for that. I never thought of harming you. .”

I remembered what happened in the undersea tomb, sighed, and said to myself, only ghosts will believe you, and lit a pipe: If you really want to cooperate, just tell me what's going on. What are you looking for at the bottom of the sea? What are you doing here?

The fat man said on the side: Yes, only when everyone is honest can we do things.

Aning showed an expression of surprise: Don't you know? Didn't your third uncle tell you the matter? You... you don't know anything and you just run around like this with all your might?

I smiled bitterly, thinking that if my third uncle told me what happened, I would not care about his life or death. I shook my head: He didn't tell me, I have always been a headless fly.

Aning frowned and looked at me. After looking for a long time, he seemed to realize that I was not lying, and said: No wonder, I always thought you were a particularly powerful character, and I couldn't tell that you were lying at all. It turns out you really don’t know anything.

I suddenly felt a little strange at this time. Why did this woman suddenly come to us for cooperation? There are so many of them, they have many soldiers and enough food, and there are only three of us. Why cooperate with us? Even if it is because I can repel the centipedes, at most I can be tied up. Could it be - I looked around - that their situation was not good, or was there some reason why they couldn't do it? ,

Looking at my expression, Aning probably guessed what I was thinking, but he didn't criticize me and sighed: Actually, we small characters don't know much, we just work for the boss.

As he said that, he asked us to sit down and called another foreigner over. Aning introduced me and said that this foreigner's name is Kirk. He is an expert in Sinology, specializing in Dongxia. He knows the most about the whole thing. You can ask him. . The foreigner shook hands with me and said: Originally we kept it strictly confidential, but now in this situation... Just ask whatever you want to ask.

My heart skipped a beat, and I repeated the question as my heart told me what was going on.

He nodded and said: It's a pity. I can't tell you the purpose of our boss. To be honest, I am just a team leader. Aning and I only know that we need to enter a place, take out one thing, and then it is done. , specifically what the senior management wants these for. I really don’t know, so I can say that we have two targets in the underwater cemetery. One is a jade seal. You Chinese call it Guixi. I heard that it can summon the underworld. The army, and the organizational map of the underground palace here. It’s a pity. We didn’t get it. In the end, we, Aning, took action and we got back some of the things we should have.

Ghost Seal? I almost jumped up after hearing this: You mean, King Lu Shang's Ghost Seal? It's in the tomb under the sea?

Hearing us talk about Guixi, Fatty was also very interested. He also came over. An Ning seemed to hate the fat man, but there was nothing he could do.

That Kirk nodded and said: Yes, I believe you also know something about it. After the tomb of King Lu Shang was excavated by the Wangzang pirates, the latter replaced the Ghost Seal with the Snake-browed Bronze Fish. We always thought that the Ghost Seal was given to him by himself. I went to the tomb of my uncle, but I couldn't find it for so long, and the palace structure map that day probably fell into the hands of your third uncle. We still don't know how many times we have given this old fox, But we still have to cooperate with him, his information is much more accurate than ours.

I nodded and smiled bitterly. Also deeply touched, the fat man said on the side: Then you said that when Aning went to the bottom of the sea with us, what did she bring out?

Kirk opened his mouth to say something, but Aning stopped him and said to him: Say what you should say and what you shouldn't say. Don't talk too much.

The fat man said angrily: What do you mean? Are you cooperative?

Kirk didn't seem to understand Aning's feelings. He laughed and said, Even if you don't tell them now, you still have to take it out. Besides, even if you have something now, it's useless.

Aning glanced at us. Stomped his foot. He seemed very unwilling to do so: The things I worked so hard to come up with are really cheap for you.

(I feel very strange at this time. Why are Aning and the others so cooperative? Later, when I talked about this matter with my third uncle, the third uncle said that at that time, Aning and the others were already on the first five routes. She had no other choice but to cooperate with you. , because they are amateurs after all. No matter how good the technical equipment is, they are still not as good as me, a butcher with half a bucket of water. But she is very smart. She is actually eager to tell everything, but she still can’t tell her everything bit by bit. I want to take something out of your mouth in exchange for something. This is called Lao Jianghu. If you don’t say that you are lucky, I didn’t tell you anything on purpose. Otherwise, you would definitely give her the whole package. Then my third uncle’s plan It’s all over.)

As he said that, he took out a bunch of things from his pocket and handed it to me. I thought he would bring out some kind of artifact, so I took it and took a look. It turned out to be a stack of photos, all of which were murals. I opened them one by one, and she reminded me not to mess up the order. , I looked at a few pictures carefully and found that I had never seen these murals before, so I asked, Where were these taken?

Kirk said: It was taken from the main tomb chamber that time you went into the sea together. This is a narrative mural. It is very important. You can take a look and see what is painted inside.

I counted a total of fifteen murals, and there were changes on them. Obviously they were all related, but there was no necessary plot connection in the murals. I saw some paintings of climbing snow mountains, and some paintings of Looking down at the mountains and mausoleums, there are paintings depicting rock climbing and others depicting soldiers fighting. There is no inevitable connection between the images in each mural.

Kirk knew from my expression that I couldn't understand, so he took out one and showed it to me, saying, Look at this, this is the first one. What do you see?

The picture showed several people dressed as Jurchens, tying up a Han man. I asked, Are you capturing prisoners on the battlefield?

You can say that, but who do you think this prisoner is? Kirk smiled mysteriously.

I looked at the mural photos carefully and found that the prisoner's appearance was close to the image of Wang Zanghai on the porcelain painting. I was surprised and asked: Is this Wang Zanghai? The Jurchens are arresting him?

Kirk said: Yes, this is the first one. It is a picture like this. What does it mean? It means that Wang Zanghai may have been forced to build this place. He was kidnapped.

I immediately saw some clues and looked at a few other pictures and said, What about these pictures?

It's all about what Wang Zanghai went through at the hands of the Dongxia people after he was kidnapped. Although we can't fully understand it, we can guess pretty well from the previous photos.

I looked carefully at the collection, and suddenly found something wrong: This one...

Kirk took a look and nodded: Your eyes are very powerful, and this one is also very important. Did you realize that this is the imperial mausoleum in the crater? When Wang Zanghai was kidnapped, the imperial mausoleum was already there. It exists, and it’s very dilapidated.”

I said Ah, didn't he build the imperial mausoleum above our heads?

Kirk said: We have studied that the overall style of the imperial mausoleum above is at least from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but he forcibly changed it to the Ming style. The Eastern Xia people took it captive, not to let them build the imperial mausoleum, but to let it Come and renovate the imperial mausoleum, because the imperial mausoleum has passed too many years and can no longer be used.

Then the underground palace and other things here have existed for a long time? Fatty asked.

Kirk nodded: We relied on these photos to show the old road leading here. However, there are still some photos that we cannot understand, such as this one.

It was a mural of countless evil spirits emerging from the stone. It was the third and final mural. There was also a mural that actually depicted a group of black soft-bodied creatures, with huge cliffs everywhere. Someone climbed up and poured something down.

I felt nervous and breathed a sigh of relief. I was about to sit down and take a closer look. At this time, Aning suddenly stretched out his hand to me and said, Okay, we've finished talking about this. You can look at the photos at any time. Do you have to tell us something now?

What are you telling me? I was confused.

I've told Pan everything about me, and about you and Wu Sansheng. Aning looked at me: You're not stingy than a woman like me, are you?

I thought to myself that what you were talking about was bullshit. If you said it, you didn’t say it. The key point was not mentioned at all. You damn thing thought I was the Wu Xie who didn’t understand anything before. But then my mind changed and I thought Asked her: Is there a person named Wu Laosheng here?

Aning nodded and asked strangely: What? Do you know him?

I took out two copper fishes from my pocket and waved them in front of them. Everything you need to know is in it. If Wu Laosi is not dead, let him come out!

In an instant, I saw Kirk almost fall to the ground. Aning's eyes were straightened, and he stammered: Oh my God! You have two...! As soon as I moved my arms, their eyes followed me.

I really didn’t want to hand over the Snake Eyebrow Copper Fish, but remembering what my third uncle had told me, I got excited and took it out. I didn’t expect Aning and the others to have such a big reaction.

After a long time, one of them came to his senses and asked me: Where did you get it? You...are simply a god. Could it be that you are in the King Lu's Palace...this is the secret text of the Dragon Fish! I always thought there was only one, not one. think……

I didn't want to talk to them about this, so I waved my hand and said, Does anyone here know how to read it?

Aning immediately shouted: Wu Laosi! A Chinese man came over. He was confused. When he saw the fish in my hand, his expression changed and he rushed over. He yelled God!

I asked him, Can you translate it? He nodded sharply, took it as if it were a sacred object, and began to shine a flashlight on the scales of the fish. Soon a large number of Jurchen characters appeared on the ground, and someone was immediately around to help. Copy it.

After all, Aning’s hands are very good. He can translate while copying, which is much better than Monk Hua. After copying, I basically understood the meaning. What I heard was simply incomprehensible. It became clearer after hearing it, a bit like a narrative poem. I can’t record them all. But there are some passages that are very memorable to me.

The content of the whole article is very concise, with just a few sentences at the beginning, which shows that the secret hidden in this Arowana cipher text is very important. He burned it down, hoping that it would never see the light of day, but if someone saw it, he hoped that the person would be Han Chinese. This is not what the Jurchens say.

The following records what happened after he was kidnapped to Dongxia. It is very similar to the record on his mural, but it only mentions a few sentences. In order to get a list of treasures that Dongxia did not have, he led people to rob a lot of treasures. In the ancient tomb, where the aura is strongest, a copper fish is secretly placed so that people can discover this secret.

I let out a sigh of relief when I saw it, thinking that this was actually the case, but I also guessed a little bit. Looking further back, the following content made me extremely unbelievable - it recorded that in the process of transforming the Eastern Xia Imperial Tomb, he gradually discovered a strange secret of the Eastern Xia King.

The reason why I feel so horrified is because Monk Hua once told me the first half of this paragraph, that is, the Wannu King of Eastern Xia is a monster crawling out of the ground, and they are all evildoers, and I heard This paragraph is exactly related to what Monk Hua said.

It is said that Wang Zanghai was trapped here for ten years and was once led to see an underground door known as a miracle. Legend has it that all the Wannu kings in the past were not hereditary, but all. After the death of the previous generation, he climbed out of the underground door. And that underground door can only be opened when the previous King Wannu dies. Otherwise, the karma of hell will burn everything who opens the door, leaving Changbai Mountain without a white head. It sounded like a volcanic eruption to me, and I thought to myself, could it be that King Wannu climbed out of the volcano?

And he was lucky enough to witness such a change of throne. What made him feel extremely frightened was that the Wannu King crawling out of the underground door turned out to be a monster and not a human at all.

It is recorded above that this underground gate is located under the imperial mausoleum and at the bottom of Changbai Mountain. It dates from ancient times and is probably a product of the Xia Dynasty. The passage leading to the giant underground gate is guarded by a bird with a human head.

I break into a cold sweat when I think of that strange bird, but the weirder content is yet to come.

On the third copper fish, it actually records how he secretly sneaked into the underground door. This is completely incomprehensible and I don’t know what they are talking about. Apparently the third sentence was written when he was extremely frightened and incoherent after he came back.

The fat man was also listening, and at this moment he couldn't help but interject: It's not that the fire of hell will burn everything of the one who opens the door, so why will nothing happen if he goes in? This is fucking nonsense.

I thought to myself that he must have used some method that we don't know about, but the records here are too chaotic. At this time, someone suddenly came over to report that another mark was found.

We walked over and took a look, and saw that several coffins in the coffin well had been opened, and all the contents were listed. On one side of the coffin well, someone actually opened a secret door, and another one appeared in the secret door. The mark is that of the stuffy oil bottle.

Isn't this mark left by you? Aning asked

No. We are also very confused. I pretended not to know.

A person on one side reported, The coffins here are all shadow coffins, they are fake. There are only corpses made of jade inside. The real coffins are not here. We just opened it and turned on the Chongxiang Jade mechanism. The results were all The centipede crawled out, and now he is looking for it carefully. Unexpectedly, there is a secret passage here, and someone has gone in. It seems to be a double-layered tomb. The real coffin may still be under here. This was more popular in the Yuan Dynasty. Burial style.

I looked at this huge coffin made of precious stones and glazed glass, and was shocked. Then I looked at the opened secret door, and found that this secret door was very unusual, because this secret passage was very steep, and it seemed that the goal was to dig deeper. I groaned in my heart, it seems that this is the place where Menyou Ping won't let me go.

Aning looked at me, and it seemed that she was thinking the same thing as me. She waved her hand to let people go down, but no one moved, and everyone looked at me and Fatty.
