Chapter 1117: Clues to the Monuments
"This is an accident, and I won't let you hand it over. Lin Huo looked at Lin Can's expression and said funny: "But don't take this thing out casually, it's easy to have an accident." ”
"Definitely not, just for you to admire. Lin Can thought for a while: "If you want it, I'll give it to you!"
"What do I want such a valuable thing for?" Lin Huo was startled: "I am a person with public office, and I can't collect these things." You're different, and as a folk collection, others can't say anything. ”
"Then I'll put it away first. Lin Can nodded: "When the time is right, maybe you can build a museum, and it's not bad to use it as a treasure of the town~"
He quickly put away the screen and pearls, and then returned to the coffee table and sat down: "Second brother, I haven't asked you yet." What exactly are your so-called monument clues?"
"It's also a coincidence. Lin Huo took out a somewhat mutilated map made of the fur of an unknown animal from his pocket and carefully laid it out on the table: "A while ago, I picked up a leak on Gui Street and spent two thousand yuan to buy this broken treasure map. ”
"You can't be fooled, right?" Lin Can shouted, "How can you buy a treasure map so easily?"
"I still have some eyesight. Lin Huo smiled: "The old man who sold maps seems to have come from the Western Regions, and he is very down."
He doesn't seem to be able to live anymore, piles a lot of things together, and can take them away for a random price. At that time, I thought to myself that even if I lost some money, at least I was saving a poor person, and it could be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good. ”
"The second brother is kind-hearted. Lin Can nodded in praise: "What about later?"
"I took the map back and analyzed it with a spectrometer. Lin Huo's face became cautious: "In the end, I came to the conclusion that this animal skin existed about a thousand years ago. ”
"Millennial animal skin...... Lin Can said in a stammer: "If nothing else, I'm afraid this animal skin alone is worth a lot of money, right?"
"So I picked up another leak. Lin Huo smiled and said, "You look at the text on the map, can you recognize the content on it?"
Lin Can held the map and looked at it carefully, and saw that the dark brown animal skin full of the breath of time was burned with charcoal fire. Although it looks a little messy, it has an inexplicable three-dimensional sense, and the spirit is slightly in a trance, as if a high valley, river and tidal flat appear in front of you, and the vast breath is coming.
In the upper right corner of the pattern, in the midst of a mess of lines, there is a scarlet circle, emitting an eerie glow. Although it has gone through the baptism of the years, it is still red and dazzling.
At the bottom of the map, there are some unknown symbols scribbled on them, which seem to be some kind of ancient writing. It is also made of black carbon strips, which are still visible today, hundreds of years later.
"This kind of text ......" Lin Can thought carefully, and seemed to have similar memories in his vast brain domain, but it seemed very rusty. After a long time, he looked up at Lin Huo: "This is the Western Xia script? I seem to have seen similar words before, but I haven't studied it seriously." ”
"Awesome!" Lin Huo looked at Lin Can in surprise, just like looking at a prehistoric alien: "You are really knowledgeable! I have never seen the handwriting on this before, so I specially consulted an expert in the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences."
According to an old expert, this is the unique script of the Tangut Dynasty! Because that dynasty only lived for a few hundred years, and now this kind of writing has almost been lost, and few people can recognize it!"
"I've seen a little bit of similar text, so I have the association. Lin Can smiled: "I didn't expect the blind cat to meet a dead mouse, and I was blinded!"
"Being right once is an accident, and being right countless times is ability. Lin Huo smiled: "Little brother, it seems that in many ways, you are better than me!"
"But you have a huge database to support it~" Lin Can said seriously: "If you encounter a problem, you can go to the relevant experts within the system, and then naturally have a little more knowledge." If you continue to accumulate bit by bit like this, sooner or later you will be a knowledgeable person!"
"It turns out that professionals have also accumulated in this way~" Luo Li nodded: "I thought the so-called experts were omnipotent geniuses......"
"How can there be so many geniuses in this world!" Lin Huo smiled: "What Ah Can said is not bad at all. The so-called experts just get more inheritance than others. Going deeper, if you can accumulate more practice and be able to innovate a little, it will be amazing!"
"Let's go back to our map. Lin Can looked at Lin Huo: "Since you have already found an expert, you must have gotten some useful information?"
"Hmm. Lin Huo nodded, and took out another piece of paper, on which were written a few words, and a few circles were interspersed in between. Lin Can took the note and looked at it suspiciously: "What, there are still some words that have not been cracked?"
There are only a few words on the note, but the information it reflects is very important. Lin Can looked at it carefully and read it out in a low voice: "Wang Lingxi...... Cold Springs ...... The Burial of the Bones......"
"What do you mean?" he glanced up at Lin Huo, "The information is really too general......
"Definitely. Lin Huo nodded: "This west may be southwest or northwest." It could also be a distance number, such as a hundred kilometers. The content between the cold spring and the place of bones is even more unpredictable. Maybe it's an ancient tomb under the cold spring, or maybe it's a nearby place. ”
"Do you know where Hanquan is?" Lin Can perked up: "If there is a landmark, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of our work." ”
"It's not a specific place name. Lin Huo smiled bitterly: "Let me tell you my judgment first." Wang Ling, plus the Western Xia script, this information is relatively clear. ”
"Tomb of the Western Xia King?" Luo Li said loudly, "Where is that?"
"To the west of Yinzhou, there is a tomb of the Western Xia kings. Lin Can said: "If the guess is correct, this is the place you are referring to, right?"
"It's about the same. Lin Huo nodded and said: "On that day, the Mongols destroyed Jin and Western Xia, and plundered the tombs of the Western Xia kings. So much so that all the subsequent dynasties and the Western Xia Tombs did not gain anything, because all the valuable things were taken captive in that catastrophe!"
"How much is left, right?" Lin Can looked at Lin Huo: "For example, the nobles outside the royal tomb, and the prescient king, maybe hide their tombs elsewhere?"
"It's possible. Lin Huo smiled approvingly: "When it comes to treasures, your mind is as quick as lightning! Many things are buried in the dust of history, and it is difficult to say what surprises will await us."
But it's also possible that it's just a fake picture and doesn't have much value. In short, we go with hope, but we also have the awareness that we can get nothing. ”
