Chapter 64 Chapter 64

"Come here." Perhaps after 100 million years, Lin Fei gently opened her lips, breaking the wonderful silence in the fairyland. I walked to Lin Fei's side slowly, and followed her to look down at the coffin. A horseshoe-shaped thing was deeply embedded in the coffin! That thing was like the jewel in the crown, instantly taking away all the light from the crown. "Instrument?" I stared at it dumbfounded, like a man in the dark looking at the sun for the first time. Lin Fei nodded, and looked at me with eyes full of light. A treasure left by prehistoric civilization, an advanced instrument that will make all mankind boil, a secret that can change the whole world - right within my reach?

When all the shocks in the world were crushed on me at the same time, I fell silent... Hello, Instrument, nice to meet you. I took a deep breath and looked at Lin Fei with an indescribable smile, waiting for her to break the unspeakable silence. "Don't you want to ask something?" Lin Fei smiled calmly and stroked her long hair. "There are too many things I want to ask, so you should take the initiative to ask them all." I moistened my dry throat, pretending to relax and force myself to wake up from the illusion—this is the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, this is Qin Shihuang's The tomb, this is the final location of the instruments, this is the end of all secrets—since Lin Fei is right in front of you, it's time to end everything.

"Grandpa didn't pick the wrong person, you finally found this." Seeing me clearing my mind, Lin Fei put away the previous sentimentality, and a familiar look appeared on his face. "Grandpa? - Lim Kit Hyun?" I asked.Lin Fei nodded. "Before you contacted Quan Qingzhou, why did you plan to enter here?" "Sun Lin has almost dug through the robbery cave. If I can't get in touch with you again, maybe I will show my mortal determination to enter the robbery cave with Sun Lin." "Why do you say 'must die'?" Lin Fei frowned cutely.

"Hehe, Sun Lin is not what I imagined at all. He is the culprit who killed Professor Ding. He is using me to find equipment. And when he finds out that I have seen his true face, he also wants to do something to me." Lin Fei was stunned. "Then who is he?" "I don't know, but I can be sure that even if he can't find me temporarily, he will definitely enter the underground palace, because his purpose is the instrument. I'm sorry, I told him the whereabouts of the instrument. But he won't It succeeded, because the military people have suspected him for a long time, as long as he goes into the underground palace to get the equipment, the military people will expose him on the spot."

Afterwards, I told her the general content of how I found out the whereabouts of the instrument. I talked about Professor Sick, Professor Arthur and Mr. Dong, and I also mentioned Tang Yuxing and Wang Cun, as well as Otani Yuer, Wu Lili and Mr. Dong. Jack.In the process of my narration, she listened with gusto and showed me an expression of admiration from time to time, which really satisfied me. "Okay, let me give you an overview first, as for the details, I will tell you slowly later, now you have to tell me what I want to know?" "There are so many things you don't know. I don't know where to start. You should ask." Lin Fei smiled wickedly.

Her question stopped me from asking—for me, she really has too many secrets, and I didn't know where to ask for a while. "How did you know about the existence of the instrument?" "Because I understand the set of symbols that Professor Ding gave you, and I also know the content of the first half of the symbols." "how is this possible?" "Do you still remember the first night you attended the reception? I didn't go back to the dormitory all night, and I lied to you that some classmates invited me to sing." "of course I remember."

"Actually, I went to see my grandfather... Lin Jixian. He chatted with me all night, told me all the secrets about symbols, and gave me his house book, which contained Dong The book that Mister left him—the book that can translate Loulan language." "Can that book translate Loulan?" "That's right. It contains everything that Mr. Dong learned about the Loulan script from Professor Sick. It contains not only the second half of the Loulan script you got, but also the first half that Professor Sick has studied. " "You mean, that book can decipher all the Loulan scripts? No wonder Yuji Otani is desperately looking for it."

Lin Fei smiled and nodded. "But, isn't it rumored that Mr. Dong left the book to Professor Ding? How could it be at Lin...your grandfather's place?" "Not only Professor Ding is a student of Mr. Dong, but so is my grandfather. Mr. Dong learned the Loulan language from Professor Sike, and after knowing the secret of the instrument, he decided to keep this secret. Everyone thought he left the book to Ding Professor, in fact, Professor Ding is a cover. The real book is at my grandfather. After Mr. Dong gave the book to my grandfather, my grandfather dropped out of school, left Mr. Dong to live in seclusion, and wrote a broken book to make people think he was He was an ignorant person, and he was completely forgotten. Except for the deceased Mr. Dong, only Professor Ding knew about it. In order to let this book continue to pass on, Professor Ding and my grandfather had selected many heirs. But none were suitable until your appearance. Therefore, Professor Ding once hinted to you the importance of my grandpa, and hoped that you could meet grandpa one day and get this book from him."

"But what if I didn't notice Professor Ding's hint? Then wouldn't I have never known about your grandfather's existence for the rest of my life?" "That's not true. Even if you don't pay attention to the hint, once the crisis really arises, my grandfather will take the initiative to contact you." "Crisis? What crisis?" "Mr. Dong, Professor Ding and my grandfather are not the only ones who know the secrets of the symbols. You also said just now that when Professor Arthur's research results were stolen, someone must have known the contents of the first half of the symbols, but they didn't know the second half." part, so they will definitely try their best to find the second half. Professor Ding and my grandfather originally thought that although the Otani family owned the second half, they didn't know the content of the first half, so they didn't know all the secrets. But these two During the year, the Otani family suddenly set up foundations in places related to rumors in the world, which shows that they probably already knew the contents of the first half, because if they didn’t know what was recorded in the first half, it would be impossible for them to be so accurate in all Foundations have been set up in relevant places. However, since they have established four foundations, it shows that although they know the existence of the instrument, they do not know the final whereabouts of the instrument. Therefore, they must suspect that the whereabouts of the instrument may be hidden in the second half of the Loulan text. Therefore, once the second half of the symbol reappears in the world, it means that they are not far from finding the instrument. This is what grandpa and the others are worried about. Therefore, when Otani Yuji handed the symbol to Professor Ding, Professor Ding and my grandfather I realized that a crisis was coming.”

Lin Fei’s statement finally confirmed my previous guess—when I saw the secret documents of the German Folklore Museum, I found that the Otani family was indeed trying their best to find Professor Arthur’s information about the first half of the Loulan text in Bayeux. According to what Lin Fei said, they had obviously obtained the research results. But Otani Yuji actually told me in Lop Nur that he didn't get the first half of the Bayeux!This cunning Japanese is still lying to me at this moment! It's a pity that he, who has already lost his life, won't have the chance to make up any lies...

"Although the Otani family obtained the first half of the research results, it does not mean that they can understand the second half, so they worked hard to decipher the second half. Only after deciphering all of them can they finally find the instrument." "That's right. Jack also said that although they have the first half of the Loulan text and stole the second half from my dormitory, it is indeed not easy to decipher the second half." I understand that even For the same language, if there is no such thing as a dictionary, it is still impossible to understand the content that I have never seen. "What exactly is recorded in those Loulan texts?" Although with the help of Professor Tang, I have roughly guessed the content of Bayeux from another direction, but all the events in the past half month are based on the second half. Bayeux triggered, so I must know the true content of Bayeux's original text. "The Loulan people recorded all the stories about the instrument on it." Lin Fei sighed softly. Before prehistoric humans left the earth, they left two instruments in the ancient country of Loulan, in order to save themselves with the help of instruments in case of disaster.The Loulan people handed over the instruments to the tribal leader and the priestess respectively.The first half of the Bayeux records the contact between Loulan people and prehistoric civilization, and records the function of the instrument; the second half of the Bayeux records the story of the priestess being taken away by the King of Shang and taking an instrument to the Central Plains.When Fuhao, the first female general in Chinese history, conquered Loulan, she surrounded the Loulan tribe and planned to take the Loulan people captive to the Central Plains.Since the Loulan people have not yet stocked up enough mercury ore to activate the instrument, they have no ability to use the instrument to escape from danger.At this time, in order to save the tribe, the priestess at that time, that is, "Wu", offered to go to the Central Plains as a slave, on the condition that Fuhao would spare other Loulan people.Since the content of her persuasion to Fuhao is not recorded in the Loulan text, we don’t know the details of how she persuaded Fuhao, but in the end, Fuhao agreed to her request and let the Loulan tribe go—because of this, " Wu" came to the Central Plains and brought the instrument to the Shang Dynasty. If you only understand the first half of Loulan, you can only know that prehistoric humans have visited the earth and left two instruments that can travel through time and space in Loulan, but you will not know the whereabouts of the instruments; if you only understand the second half Loulan Wen, who only knows that a priestess of the Loulan Kingdom was taken captive by the Shang Dynasty to the Central Plains, and brought a treasure with her, but does not know what the treasure is and what it is used for.Only by combining the two parts into one can insight be made into the full truth of the instrument. However, even if they only understand the first half of Bayeux, people will know the existence of the instrument and at the same time link the instrument with Loulan, which is why so many secret agencies have been investigating Loulan in recent decades.But no matter how hard they investigate, it is impossible to find the whereabouts of the instrument in the vast desert, because the whereabouts of the instrument are hidden in the lower part of the bay leaf. Thinking of this, a new problem arises—even if Professor Sigg, Mr. Dong, Professor Ding, and Lin Fei can understand all the Bayeux, the last content of the Bayeux only mentions that "E" brought the instrument to After entering the Shang Dynasty, how did Lin Fei know that the instrument was hidden in the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum?You know, with the help of Tang Yuxing, I learned step by step through the mysterious disappearance of Youhouxi's army, the mysterious background of the ancient Dongyi kingdom, the tomb of "Wu" in Lop Nur, the historical inheritance of the Eighth Master of Yin and the descendants of Wuding, etc. The ultimate location of the instrument can be deduced by stripping the cocoon. After I asked this question, Lin Fei paused briefly.After tens of seconds, she revealed a secret far beyond my imagination and that of Tang Yuxing. "The reason why I know the instrument is in the underground palace is because not all descendants of Wu Ding were killed." As soon as the words came out, the whole underground world, together with my uneasy heart, boiled at the same time. After Wu was taken captive to the Central Plains, he was not degraded as a slave by Wu Ding because of his outstanding beauty and talent, but became a queen of Wu Ding, who stayed by Wu Ding's side day and night.Wu originally planned to find an opportunity to activate the instrument and leave the Central Plains to find her own clansmen after she came to the Central Plains, but in the days that followed, she fell in love with the talented Wu Ding and gave birth to many children for him. Involuntarily rooted in the land of the Central Plains.Wu, who became a mother, gave up escaping. She decided to spend her whole life with Wu Ding and her child, and told Wu Ding the secret of the instrument.Wu Ding, who knew the secret, was greatly shocked and decided to hand over the instrument to his and Wu's children for safekeeping, so that they could use the instrument to preserve their blood in case of crisis.Therefore, after Dang Wu passed away, Wu Ding made a huge Simu Wu tripod and hid the instrument in one of the tripod ears in order to deceive people.In order to facilitate the removal of the instrument in times of crisis, the tripod ear and the big tripod were not cast together, but installed after the tripod body was cast.When the world thought that Simu Wuding was buried in the tomb with Wu's departure, Wu Ding took away the tripod ear with the instrument hidden before the tomb was closed and kept it. Since Fuhao had already given birth to Wuding's eldest son, Zu Geng, Wu's second son had no right to inherit the throne.In order to ensure that the instrument is in the hands of the offspring born to Wu and himself, and to ensure that their offspring can become the king of Shang, Wu Ding ordered: Zu Geng must pass the throne to his younger brother, who is the second son born to Wu, in the future.Although Zu Geng obeyed his father's order and passed the throne to his younger brother before his death, making the sons of Wu Ding and Wu the King of Shang, this also led to serious consequences, that is: all the younger brothers of the King of Shang began to compete with their nephews right of inheritance.After countless fierce battles for the throne, the rule of "brother ends up with brother" had to be finalized and became the rule of succession to the throne of later generations of the Shang Dynasty.It was also because of this unexpected result that the descendants of Wu Ding and Wu lost the right to inherit the throne within a few generations, and faded out of the power center of the dynasty. Although the descendants of Wu Ding and Wu gradually moved away from the throne, they still held a certain amount of power because of blood relationship, and let the most powerful among the descendants control the instrument.In their view, the greater the power, the greater the ability, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Only in the hands of the most powerful instrument can save as many people as possible in times of crisis. Therefore, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, instruments It fell into the hands of the most powerful among these descendants, and that person was Youhouxi. The subsequent stories confirmed the inferences of Tang Yuxing and me one by one - when You Houxi took the instrument to conquer the ancient Dongyi country, the Shang Dynasty fell.Under the pursuit of heavy troops of the Zhou Dynasty, Youhouxi had to use the instrument to escape from China.Although he escaped, many descendants of Wuding and Wu still stayed in the capital Chaoge, so he left the instrument in the ancient Dongyi country when he fled.Next, when King Wu of Zhou compiled the descendants of merchants into the Eighth Division of Yin, the descendants of Wu Ding in the Eighth Division of Yin volunteered to conquer the ancient Dongyi kingdom in order to retrieve the equipment.The descendants of the previous dynasties were willing to take the initiative to conquer the current serious troubles, which was naturally a happy thing for King Wu of Zhou. Therefore, when the descendants of Wu Ding wiped out Dongyi, King Wu of Zhou sealed them to the right place and established own kingdoms.After this expedition, Wuding's descendants successfully found the instrument and took it to the right place. There will never be an impenetrable wall in the world.The existence of the instrument was already known to outsiders during the Wuding period. Therefore, while the descendants of Wuding and Wu kept the instrument secretly, many high-ranking royals were also secretly looking for the instrument. Known—Secrets are like dams, once a breach is revealed, it loses its secrecy forever.Therefore, the day when the first gap appeared on the embankment was the beginning of the tragic fate of Wuding's descendants.Afterwards, the descendants of Wuding began to become the targets of various powers to hunt down and snare them.After a hundred years of fighting in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, Wuding's descendants finally fell into the hands of Qin Shihuang. Although Qin Shihuang kidnapped almost all the descendants of Wuding, there is still a descendant who escaped before the disaster came. Although the descendants of Wuding were sealed in the power and lived a seemingly peaceful life, they knew that, With their special background, it is absolutely impossible to survive safely.In order to prevent outsiders from catching them all and obtaining the instrument and enjoying the secret of the instrument exclusively, they must find a new way out for the secret of the instrument they own.Therefore, they secretly selected some people to leave the place of power, and these people must escape from danger as far as possible, in order to - after the descendants of Wuding in the place of power have suffered an accident, there will still be people in the world who know the legend about the instrument. After these selected people left the land of power, they began to flee aimlessly across the country. In the end, they fled to another place where the descendants of the Shang Dynasty settled - South Korea. Anyone who knows history knows that after the demise of the Shang Dynasty, Weizi and Jizi, members of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty, did not want to "eat Zhou millet", that is, they did not want to submit to the Zhou Dynasty, so they ran to South Korea and became Koreans today. ancestor.This is why North Korea and South Korea today retain almost all Shang traditions.I remember someone once asked me curiously, why white is a relatively unlucky color in China, but the most honorable color in North Korea and South Korea?That's right, North Koreans and Koreans will wear white, which is only worn at funerals in China, during festivals or major festivals. That's because in Chinese history, only the Shang Dynasty was the only one that regarded white as the most noble color. dynasty. After the descendants of Wuding who escaped from Quan came to South Korea, they took root here, established a new family with the surname "Quan", and preserved the secrets about the instrument from generation to generation. After Lin Fei finished telling this story, the strange background of that strange person had an answer in my mind, and this answer made me envious, jealous and hateful from the bottom of my heart... Quan Qingzhou! After the family surnamed Quan fled to South Korea, they have been tracking the whereabouts of the clansmen who stayed in China for thousands of years. Finally, they learned that the clansmen were taken away by Qin Shihuang, and they also learned that all the clansmen were buried in the underground palace. Tragedy——According to the oath of the people who swore to die and not let the instrument fall into the hands of others, the Quan surnamed family believed that the instrument must have been buried in the underground palace of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum along with the death of the people. In the following hundreds of years, the Quan family tried to take away the instruments belonging to their ancestors from the underground palace countless times, but the underground palace was built so unpredictable that no one could get close to it by stealing; After the news that the government banned the development of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum came out, everyone also lost the possibility of accessing the instrument through formal channels.Although it is impossible for the own people to take or get close to the instrument, these descendants of Wu Ding living in a foreign country are at least convinced that outsiders cannot get close to or take it away.Therefore, the family surnamed Quan gave up the idea of ​​getting back the instrument, but guarded this secret, waiting for the day when the underground palace will be seen again. The Quan surnamed family thought that they were the only ones in the world who knew the existence of instruments. To their surprise, when a large number of treasure robbers entered Lop Nur in the early 20th century and unearthed the Loulan site, legends about instruments began to spread in the world, so They began to pay close attention to all the progress of Loulan and the legend of the instrument, for fear that outsiders would get the instrument before them.Unfortunately, this fear was finally confirmed - when the Otani family began to establish foundations with shady purposes around the world, they realized that if they did not act, the instruments would eventually fall into the wrong hands. Therefore, Quan Qingzhou came to China, found Lin Fei, and entered this mysterious underground palace.
