Snake Marsh Ghost Town Chapter 10 Jude Test Chapter 11 Bronze Alchemy Furnace Chapter 12 Astrolabe

(The following narration by Uncle San is very cumbersome and involves a lot of things in old Changsha, but these things are very interesting to me, because I have liked old things with a bit of earthiness since I was a child, which are more interesting. The weight of history, it doesn’t hurt to give it a listen. Updates are quick to see )

The name of the missionary mentioned by the third uncle at that time was Cox※ # 8226; Hendrick, whose Chinese name was Jude Kao. He worked in a missionary school in Changsha and came to China with the eastward advance during the Kuomintang period. One of the Americans. But this person has been impure since he was a child. He has no interest in becoming a foreign monk, but he is very interested in Chinese culture. Perhaps in the American economic concept, cultural relics are just one of the commodities. They can be bought and sold freely, and naturally they can also be exported. So in his third year in China, he occasionally engaged in some secret smuggling of cultural relics. He was only nineteen years old that year.

Judecao's smuggling business has always been done very carefully, and the business is not big. At that time, there were two types of smugglers. One was a running business, which sold a lot of goods but offered very low prices. They were engaged in one-off transactions, which was very risky. ​And Jude Kao is a "blacksmith's business", that is, the bid is high and the things required are small, but it is very safe, and the money is paid for. His way of doing business was very popular with my grandfather, so my grandfather had a good relationship with him at that time.

But Jude Kao was not a friend worth making. From the bottom of his heart, he did not regard his grandfather as a friend, or even as an equal to him. My grandfather found out later that in private, he called my grandfather a bedbug.

Changsha was liberated in 1949. The Kuomintang was completely defeated. Then in 1952, the church began to withdraw from China. Many Americans stranded in China began to return to the country. He also received a telegram from the church asking him to return when it was safe.

He realized that his business in China was coming to an end, so he began to make relevant preparations. Transferred one's property. Before leaving, he had another sinister thought. He and his accomplices began to buy ancient artifacts on a large scale. Using the Chinese mentality of trusting old relationships, they took away a large number of cultural relics with extremely cheap deposits, including my grandfather's Warring States silk books.

At that time, my grandfather was not willing to sell this thing that his fathers had sacrificed their lives for. Jude Kao lied and said that the money would be used to open a charity. Grandpa felt that this was a good deed, so he reluctantly sold it (of course, this is what my grandfather said himself) . I don’t know if it’s true. I think it’s unlikely that someone like him would have such a kind heart).

After all the goods were put on the ship, Judekau knew that some of these people were not easy to mess with. In order to avoid causing trouble, he

I sent a telegram on board the ship to the security office at that time, leaking all the whereabouts of my grandfather and about a dozen local fellows to the temporary garrison of the People's Liberation Army in Changsha at that time.

This was the very famous "Warring States Silk Book Case" at that time. This is not just a cultural relic smuggling case, because Jude Kao’s relationship with the Kuomintang generals before liberation involved espionage, treason, and many other unthinkable factors unique to that era. It became very complicated and almost alarmed the central government. That day, Jude returned home from the exams with great achievements, and the local masters who had accumulated wealth for him were shot and imprisoned, wailing.

Although he deserves it. But such a death is really too tragic. Later, during the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, the smuggling of cultural relics in China almost disappeared, which was also related to the deaths of this group of people at that time.

At that time, my grandfather was smart. When he saw that the situation was not right, he fled into the mountains overnight, hid in an ancient tomb, and slept with the dead bodies for two weeks. He escaped from the limelight and later fled naked to Hangzhou. This incident had a great impact on my grandfather, so much so that the Warring States Period silk books later became a taboo for him. When he was alive. We have been told not to talk nonsense about this matter. So our family has always been very secretive about it.

After Judeka returned to the United States, he auctioned off the cultural relics. After making a fortune, the Warring States Period silk books were sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York at a high price, becoming the most expensive cultural relic at auction at that time. Jude Kao also became a millionaire and an upstart in the upper class. His story in China was written into a biography and widely circulated.

After becoming rich, Jude Kao gradually turned his interest to social life. Around 1957, he was invited to serve as a consultant to the Department of Far Eastern Art of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, providing consultants on the research on silk books from the Warring States Period. The director of the local museum at that time was the notorious Pu Ailun. Both of them were China experts. They both hired bandits to steal cultural relics in China and soon became friends. Jude Kao also sponsored a sum of money to the museum as a fund to acquire private Chinese cultural relics.

Probably because of the leisurely life of affluence and his love for Chinese culture, Jude later became obsessed with the study of Chinese culture. He led research on several large-scale projects at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the results were quite remarkable. However, what really made him famous in history was the incident in 1974 when he unlocked the secret documents of the Warring States Period.

At that time, he had been researching the silk books of the Warring States Period for more than twenty years. At first, he did it to increase the price of the silk books, but later it was purely out of interest.

At the beginning, no one thought that an American like him could decipher China's ancient codes. However, Jude Kao did it with amazing perseverance.

It is a coincidence that he borrowed inspiration from an ancient Chinese "embroidery book" and discovered the decoding method of "Warring States Calligraphy and Pictures". This decoding method is actually similar to the method of using text to record embroidery procedures in "Embroidery Manual". Mathematically speaking, it is a dot matrix that forms a graph. It is not complicated at all. It all depends on a clever trick. If you can think of it, you can solve it. If you can't think of it, it will be useless even if you are proficient in ancient Chinese cryptography.

After discovering the decoding method, Jude Kao was overjoyed and immediately summoned personnel to conduct a large-scale translation of his grandfather's Warring States silk book. A month later, all the ciphertexts were decrypted.

However, to Jude Kao's surprise, what appeared on the decoding paper was not the ancient text recording the divination calendar of the Warring States Period as he had originally expected, but a strange and completely meaningless pattern.

This pattern is so weird. It’s hard to describe it. Later I looked at the sketches that my third uncle drew for me and I couldn’t figure it out. If I want to describe it, I can only say that this pattern is very simple, consisting of only six curved lines and an irregular circle. The lines extend each other, a bit like the veins of rivers on a map. Or what a vine with its spreading stems, though. It doesn’t feel right to surround that circle. When you look at it from a distance, it looks like an abstract word; when you look at it up close, you have no idea what it is.

In addition, there is no information at all. If you didn’t say that this was from a fragment of an ancient Chinese book, everyone would think that it was a line drawn on paper by a child who had just learned to hold a pen.

After all the hard work, what was translated turned out to be such an inexplicable pattern, and Jude Kao was very surprised. He once thought that his translation method was wrong. But after repeated verification, he found that it was impossible, if it was wrong, then it was impossible to successfully convert the text into this graphic seamlessly. Obviously, what is recorded in cipher text is these seven lines.

So what do these seven lines represent? Why did the owner of this silk book hide it in the text?

With so many years of experience in China, he intuitively told himself that he could be written in cipher text on extremely expensive silk. It won’t be an ordinary pattern. This line must have some special meaning, maybe it is not trivial.

He became very interested in it and immediately started to look up the information. He spent a lot of time looking through countless libraries. At the same time, he took this pattern to the Chinese sinologist at the university for advice. But. The level of the people in the United States is limited, and they have been struggling for more than half a year without any results. Even if someone makes speculations, they are nondescript, completely unfounded, and are just nonsense.

Just when his interest waned and he felt hopeless, a friend from college showed him a clear path. He told Jude Kao that for such weird Chinese things, he should ask among the old people in Chinatown. It was the Cold War era. In Chinatown, there are many old scholars from Taiwan. Hidden dragon and crouching tiger, there may be clues.

Jude was right when he heard the test. With his last hope, he actually went to Chinatown to seek advice.

There is a kind of library in Chinatown, where old people gather. Judekao went to this kind of place specifically to read the graphics. Fortunately for him, he was lucky enough to meet an expert.

This expert was a skinny old man who was considered a celebrity in the local area. He was listening to a book in a teahouse that day, and happened to see Jude Kao coming to post pictures, so he asked for one to take a look at. After seeing this, he was shocked and asked Judeka where he got it?

Jude couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that he had a way. He naturally had his own way of saying it, told the old man the whole story, and hurriedly asked the old man if he knew anything.

The old man shook his head and said no, but he told Judeka that although he didn't know the origin of this graphic, he had seen something similar in one place.

When Jude heard this, his heart moved, and he quickly asked where he saw it.

The old man said that when he was still on the mainland, he saw an alchemy furnace in a Taoist temple in Qimeng Mountain, Shandong. This figure was engraved on the alchemy furnace.

Chapter 11 Bronze Alchemy Furnace

This figure has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and there is no clue how to find it. Now when he heard this, Jude was extremely excited. He immediately asked someone to make a pot of good tea, handed it over respectfully, and asked the old scholar to learn more. Talk about it.

The old scholar had nothing to do. Seeing that he was very interested, he became interested and told Jude about what happened at that time.

That was thirty years ago. At that time, the old man was a professor of Chinese studies at Peking University and a member of the Kuomintang. His son-in-law was a brigade commander under Zhang Lingfu. After the reorganization of the 74th Division was defeated, the remnants of the Kuomintang troops were reduced to pieces. His son-in-law took the remnants of his troops and fled into the Qimeng Mountains. He became a bandit and stayed in the mountains for three years. Later, when the People's Liberation Army launched a large-scale suppression of bandits, his son-in-law was forced into desperation and met with Kuomintang agents, preparing to flee to the United States.

After clearing the way, the old man and his family were taken into the mountains by his son-in-law to wait for news of the ship. Because the news was very tight, it was inconvenient to bring his family with him. During this period, his son-in-law settled them in a Taoist temple, pretending to be Taoist priests, and waiting for the spies to respond.

It is said to be a Taoist temple, but it is actually a folk earth temple. However, unlike other temples in mountainous areas, this Taoist temple building is located between two cliffs less than fifty meters apart, with the lower part rising into the air, which is very strange. The entire Taoist temple is like a huge staircase, one floor after another, with a total of seven floors. The walls are all mud walls painted with yellow paint and are very simple. The top four floors are just wooden boards placed between two cliffs, without even railings. Several shrines have clay statues of the Three Pure Ones, including Guanyin and the Earth, which are very Chinese.

The entire Taoist temple is managed by two old Taoist priests. Lao Di is the father of a younger Taoist priest. It was a time of war and chaos. The incense was thin, so his son-in-law gave them some money as a cover.

The old professor lived in the Taoist temple for two months. The Taoist temple was located deep in the mountains. It was inconvenient to climb up and down. He had nothing to do, so he began to study the antiques in the Taoist temple. It was during that time that he discovered something strange. There are many things in this Taoist temple. They are all crudely made folk goods with little value. Occasionally there are a few antiques from the Ming Dynasty. However, there is a bronze alchemy furnace on the top floor of the Taoist temple. The shape is very strange, like an upside-down lotus. Judging from the patina on it, it seems to be much older, and it is very different from other things here.

The old professor did not study history, but the old master at that time had some experience in these things. He was very interested and asked the old Taoist priest where the alchemy furnace came from.

The old man praised him for his sharp eyesight. This alchemy furnace is indeed extraordinary. It was caused by an earthquake before liberation and collapsed from the mountain. At that time, there were many dead skeletons that collapsed together. The villagers were very scared, so they brought them here to be held by the gods for more than sixty years. He was still young at the time and didn’t know the specific situation.

The old professor felt more and more interesting after hearing this. However, at that time, the war was in chaos, and his status was special, so he could not conduct more investigations. He pondered it in the Taoist temple for a while, and then nothing happened. However, the situation and environment at that time made him remember the incident very deeply, and he also remembered the shape and pattern of the alchemy furnace very clearly, so he recognized it as soon as he saw the pattern Jude showed him.

He told Jude Kao that this pattern was on the lid of the alchemy furnace, and the shape was exactly the same as this figure. He would definitely remember it correctly. If he wants to know more, he can find a way to go to that Taoist temple to understand the situation. However, after all the changes, whether that place is still there now depends on your luck.

After Jude took the exam, he was excited and disappointed at the same time. What was exciting was that it was clear that there was more behind this graphic than he thought; what was disappointing was that after listening to these descriptions, he still knew nothing about this graphic.

He really wanted to see with his own eyes the bronze alchemy furnace that the old professor talked about. However, this was almost impossible to achieve at the time. At that time, it was quite difficult for an American to go to China, especially for a notorious cultural relic trafficker like him.

However, Jude is very conceited. No one can stop him from doing what he wants to do. He still thought of a way: he couldn't go to China, but after so many years of cultural relic activities, he had a tight network of connections in China. He began to try to contact his old connections in China, and tried to find someone to go into the Qimeng Mountains, go to the Taoist temple in the mountains, and understand the situation. It would be best if he could steal the alchemy furnace and transport it to the United States.

At that time, China had just suffered ten years of catastrophe and was in desperate need of revitalization. His old relationships were gone. The older generation of local masters all died or escaped in the purge after liberation. Cultural relics were smuggled. , has been completely reshuffled. He relied on his connections in the Kuomintang and exhausted almost all channels, but could not find anyone he knew.

With no choice but to take risks, he turned to several cultural relic smugglers with whom he was unfamiliar at the time and asked them to introduce some newcomers to the industry in Changsha.

It took several twists and turns, but hard work paid off, and finally he was able to contact a Chinese who was willing to cooperate with him.

This person is the one who solves the problem.

How did Jie Lianhuan get into this business? The third uncle was puzzled at the time. Because of the general environment at that time, even the old man of the Jie family did not dare to get involved in his old business and could only rest on his laurels. "Smuggling cultural relics is a serious crime. Just like drug trafficking today, it is a job with your head in your belt. Generally, no one dares to do it unless they are in a hurry to get money to save their lives.

And Xie Huanhua was a playboy at that time, a complete second-generation ancestor. The old man of the Xie family wanted to clean up his roots and kept him away from the family business since he was a child. He is not allowed to learn anything, so regardless of his courage, vision, experience or other objective conditions, it is impossible for him to enter this industry, and there is no reason to contact the big smugglers abroad.

To put it simply, the art of smuggling cultural relics requires skills. The skills of acquiring, appraising, and appraising goods do not require twenty or thirty years of training and accumulation. It can't be achieved, and you don't have these abilities. Even if you subjectively want to enter the industry, you will not be able to find a way, and your buyers will ignore you. Therefore, if Jude Kao can contact Xie Huanhua through an intermediary, it means that Xie Huanhua must have had business dealings with these people and gained their trust. "It is impossible to think about the ability to solve the chain."

This problem has always troubled Uncle San. It wasn’t until he came back from his first trip to Xisha and began to investigate the matter and asked the boss of his hometown that he learned some of the ins and outs. However, this matter has nothing to do with Jude's exam, so there is no need to mention it here.

After Xie Lianhuan and Judekao connected, Judekao sent his plan to Xie Lianhuan. That was a detailed document, with a sketch of the bronze alchemy furnace drawn by the old man and an advanced camera attached. He asked Xie Huanhuan to first confirm whether the Taoist temple was still there - at that time. Things like historical monuments and temples belong to the Four Old Ages and may have been destroyed. Then, collect the information about the alchemy furnace, take photos, and send them back to the United States for confirmation, if everything is correct. Then, look for opportunities to smuggle this thing out of the country.

Although Xie Lianhuan doesn't know anything about going to the ground, he can still do it by going to a place, seeing if things are there, and asking about things. After getting the information, he went to Shandong and based on the old man’s memories in the information, he found the mountainous area where the ancient Taoist temple was built.

Fortunately, because the Taoist temple is very remote, it has not been disturbed too much. It has been miraculously preserved during the turbulent ten years. However, the old Taoist priest is dead. Only the old Taoist son was left, who was also in his dying years. Xie Lianhuan took pictures of the Taoist temple and the bronze alchemy furnace and sent them back to the United States. Jude Kao took out the translated patterns and compared them. Sure enough, the old man was right. The patterns on the lid of the bronze alchemy furnace were exactly the same as those on the silk book. However, as for the origin of this alchemy furnace, because it was too old, the old Taoist son could only give a rough idea, which was similar to what the old professor said, and he could not get any more clues.

Even so, Jude Kao was overjoyed and gave orders for Xie Lianhuan to start preparations and find a way to secretly smuggle the alchemy furnace out.

However, as soon as he prepared to untie the chain, he discovered that this was actually an impossible task.

What Jude Kao did not consider was that the alchemy furnace was much larger than he had expected. Times had changed. It was impossible for such a thing to be shipped out of China through customs at that time. "If you go through a smuggling ship, you have to reach Zhejiang or Guangdong first, which is very risky. The chaos along the southeast coast at that time was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

They tried many methods, but to no avail. Instead, they attracted Lei Zi's attention. In desperation, Jude Kao had a crazy idea. He asked Jie Huanhuan to smash the entire alchemy furnace, saw it into more than forty pieces, then mark them, and mix them with the silk exported at that time and ship them out in batches.

For the archaeological community, this is simply a heinous act of brutality, but Jude Kao doesn't care at all, because the value of this thing is meaningless to him, and what he wants is the information above.

This can also be said to be a coincidence. When Jie Lianhuan was sawing the alchemy furnace, he discovered that there was a very clever mechanism at the bottom of the bronze alchemy furnace. It was with this mechanism that the secret of the mysterious graphics on the silk books of the Warring States Period was finally revealed.

Chapter 12 ■ Astrolabe

As he spoke, the third uncle took out two crumpled photos from his broken bag and handed them to me.

I know that these two photos must be of that alchemy furnace. These photos should have been given to him by the foreigner. This matter is rather complicated. Without these photos, I’m afraid I can’t explain it clearly. Now he has used it on me.

I took it and looked at it again, and I saw that the first photo was taken of a huge alchemy furnace displayed in the museum. When the third uncle said it, I didn't know it was so big. It was as tall as a person. Smuggling this kind of thing out of the country is indeed an impossible task.

The second picture shows the bottom of the alchemy furnace. I saw the bronze furnace bottom covered with patterns in the center of the furnace bottom. A bronze beast the size of a fist is cast, with its head raised to the sky. It is very majestic. In terms of shape, it is of the highest quality.

"This is the alchemy furnace that was restored in the museum. The second picture is the inside of the alchemy furnace." The third uncle explained to me, "The mechanism at the bottom of the furnace discovered by Jie Lianlian. It is a very clever water filling port, which is used in the alchemy place. Time. Add water to the alchemy furnace. The furnace wall is hollow and there is water inside. As long as you turn the lid of the alchemy furnace and turn the figure on it to a certain position, you can open the mechanism under the sky-watching beast. In the furnace wall The water will spurt out from the mouth of the sky-watching beast. In this way, there is no need to open the furnace lid when refining alchemy. "

I nodded in surprise, but such ingenuity is actually not special in China. Why is this mechanism said to be the key to unlocking the silk books of the Warring States Period?

The third uncle said that the problem is not the function of this mechanism, but the way this mechanism operates, and he took out a magnifying glass. Let me take a closer look at the patterns on the bottom of this alchemy furnace.

The photo is very small. When I looked carefully, I saw that there were many tiny relief dots on the bottom of the furnace, with the Skywatching Beast as the center. There were a lot of them. It’s so densely packed that if you don’t look carefully, you might think it’s copper rust.

"What is this?" I still didn't understand, so I asked.

"You can be forgiven for not knowing. The relief on the bottom of the furnace is an ancient star map. "

"Ancient star map?" I was stunned for a moment, "Is it a map showing the positions of stars in the sky?"

The third uncle nodded, and then showed me a graphic photo translated from a Warring States silk book for comparison: "This is the most ingenious part of this mechanism. There is an ancient star map at the bottom of the furnace. When the furnace lid is rotated to the correct angle. On the furnace lid The curve on this graph will coincide with the six stars in the star chart under the furnace. The mechanism will be opened. "

When I heard it, I immediately thought of something. Then he suddenly realized: "The two figures can overlap. So, the strange lines on this Warring States silk book are actually an 'astrology chart'?"

The third uncle nodded: "That's right. "

The astrolabe is a tool for stargazing, because there are tens of thousands of stars in the sky, and they move according to the changes in time and seasons. It is very difficult to find a few specific stars among so many stars every time you observe the stars, so it is There is such a thing as an astrolabe. Generally, they are lines connected according to the arrangement of stars. As long as you align the Big Dipper on the astrolabe, you can use the compass and seasonal scales to rotate the astrolabe. Those specific lines will match the stars you are looking for. coincide.

I couldn't help but marvel, oh, isn't this hard to think about? Why didn't I think of it just now? This is also very logical. Stargazing during the Warring States Period was already very developed, and people at that time believed that the movement of celestial phenomena represented the movement of all things in the world, and they could gain insights into some heavenly secrets. These secrets often herald changes in the country, major wars and disasters, and generally cannot be disclosed at will. It makes sense that Tie Miansheng hid the star map he observed in a silk book.

This star chart also appeared on the alchemy furnace at the same time. Perhaps this celestial phenomenon represented some special meaning, which made many people notice it at that time. This is also very possible.

The third uncle nodded: "You are right that you have made great progress. After these things were shipped to the United States, Jude Kao also immediately discovered this secret. Like you, he thought of stargazing. "

This is a very exciting discovery. It can be said that for the first time in the history of archaeology, Judekao once again became famous. However, at this time, he no longer cared. He was completely addicted to the archaeological process: What do the stars circled in the astrolabe mean? Judging from the fact that it was so well hidden, this astrology obviously foreshadowed something of great importance that could not be known to others.

After overlapping the star chart with the astrolabe, he found the six specific stars from the entire star chart, synthesized the star chart, and then checked the ancient books to find out what the star chart represented in stargazing. What means. "

However, ancient Chinese astrology is almost the same as Feng Shui. It is extremely complicated and even more profound than Feng Shui. There is almost no systematic information. What kind of secrets the star map hidden in the silk books of the Warring States period foreshadows is completely impossible to find.

At that time, the only way to unravel this secret was to find those so-called experts, but this time they could not be found in the United States, so Jude Kao once again asked Jie Lianhuan to look for it among the Chinese people.

However, Ji Lianhuan failed to complete the task this time. Those who knew Zhouyi Feng Shui at that time were all sent to the bullpen. Those who slipped through the net were trembling with fear and no one opened their mouths. The interrogation sounded sneaky and very inconvenient.

This search lasted two years without any results. At the same time, other research in the United States also made no progress.

In desperation, Jude Kao had another sudden idea, and he once again focused his attention on the Warring States Period silk books. He speculated that since the star map was on the silk book, there might be secret records of the star map in other pages.

So, while he started to buy Luhuang silk in China, he also took up the idea of ​​his grandfather who sold the Warring States silk books. According to his experience, local masters are usually good at stealing. This silk book cannot only be one volume. If grandpa wants to steal it, he must take it out in its entirety. The remaining part may still be in grandpa's hands.

At that time, Jie Huanlian and Jude Kao had already had a very good relationship. He was so arrogant that he helped Jude Kao go to his grandfather to get information. Unfortunately, my grandfather was very tight-lipped and couldn't ask anything. In desperation, Xie Lianhuan came to ask his third uncle again. At that time, the third uncle was interested in the records in grandpa's notes. After drinking and talking a lot, he told the whole story about how grandpa stole the silk books of the Warring States Period.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but said: "Third uncle, do you think that foreigner knew about the Blood Corpse Tomb and you told me about it yourself?"

The third uncle smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I did drink too much at that time. After the wine passed, I couldn't remember telling him this. It was only later that the foreigner mentioned it to me that I remembered it. I regretted it all the time. . ”

I also laughed bitterly with him, this was really dramatic, but having said that, when Jude Kao chose to untie Lianlian, he might have already known about the relationship between the Wu family and the Hejia family, and had already planned this level. The mysterious behavior of this foreigner is really scary.

After Jude Kao got the news at that time, he had the plan to rob the blood corpse tomb again. Unfortunately, Ji Lianhuan didn't know how to fight upside down, and he couldn't find anyone else. At that time, Sino-US relations began to warm up. He felt that the situation would change, so he waited patiently for a while, and sure enough, he got an opportunity. So he couldn’t wait to return to China with a group of archaeologists and began planning this operation. So what happened to the third uncle before happened.

You can guess what happened next. After the third uncle escaped from the ancient tomb that night, Jude Kao also entered the ancient tomb in the afternoon of the next day. Needless to say, this incident turned into a disaster. When they opened the secret compartment at the bottom of the coffin, King ■ flew out and killed almost everyone in the tomb at that time.

Thanks to the cleverness of a man hired by Xie Lianhuan at that time, he detonated the explosives at the most dangerous moment, completely blowing up the inner room. Jude, who was in the outer room at that time, was able to save his life by Xie Lianhuan. It’s a pity that he and a group of people were all buried in the ancient tomb.

The scene was extremely terrifying. Jude Kao, who witnessed it with his own eyes, was greatly shocked and almost went insane. His understanding of China for decades completely collapsed. After returning to Changsha, he immediately returned to the United States, became seriously ill and almost went crazy. The research on silk scripts from the Warring States Period was also immediately terminated.

However, we know that this is only temporary. A year later, the second era of maritime archeology came, and the wheel of fate began to turn faster and faster under the sea surface of Xisha. . ..
