Chapter Forty-Eight: Ruins, Keys, Grim Old Things
The site is not remote, located in the northwest of Mokhona, an important town in central South India.
Walking north along Highway 17, there is a freshwater lake with relatively beautiful scenery.
Hajean Bijang Lake.
As for why it was given such a ghost name, no one knows. Even the locals don't know, it's just that it's a name that has been handed down since ancient times, and it doesn't matter.
"We can't take this job, if we do, we're going to die!"
Xing Jie roared in the small conference room with a cigarette roll.
Basang nodded, and Lao Wang and the five people also frowned, looking at the information in their hands and not speaking.
The numbers are just too appalling.
This relic was discovered by General Asher's forces as early as the nineties of the last century. But over the years, Zero Zero has explored six times, and nearly a thousand or so people have died. But every time they didn't even enter the gate, they were all dead.
No, not all of them are dead.
All the soldiers died, but the officers didn't have anything to do.
This is very unscientific.
Although this Indian army is highly hierarchical, in any case, this is a digging operation personally led by General Asher, who is known as the Indian Tiger, if he dares to escape, is he not afraid of being shot?
Xing Jie sat on the chair, crossed his legs to the conference table, and after finding a more comfortable position, he directly pressed the communicator.
"General, the information you gave is not complete at all, there is nothing but an address. For the analysis of the environment, there is no humidity or heat. Even the arrangement of the surrounding organs, the types of mechanisms, their lethality, and whether they are poisonous or not are all obscured with great power! Your so-called information is very eye-opening to me. I don't want to die yet, so please gather all those in charge of the last six excavation operations, I need more detailed information. ”
General Asher on the big screen was a little silent, changing his aggressive spirit from yesterday, and even showing a trace of embarrassment between his eyebrows.
This gave Xing Jie a very bad premonition.
"General, you will never tell me that your so-called elites have never been to the scene at all. ”
Silence, still an awkward silence.
"Farke, you're a good officer who loves soldiers like a son. It's really hard to imagine how you managed to get to the position of general! I won't accept this mission, this is not to search for treasures, this is completely to send you to death!"
"Six Kshatriya high-caste officers were sentenced to death. The twelve mid-level officers had all their personal information removed, and the entire family had been sent to the Shudra!How about it, are you satisfied?" General Asher said coldly.
Xing Jie was stunned.
If six Kshatriya high-caste officers were sentenced to death, there is nothing to say, as a soldier cowered in battle and even took the lead in escaping, shooting you 10,000 times without anyone interceding for you. Even if the international community learns of this news, there will be no reaction.
That's normal.
But although these six officers are dead, their families have no problems, and even if they are replaced, they can still start from the top of the army. However, those of their subordinates were unlucky, and all information was directly erased from the Kshatriya caste, and they were branded as a slut class like Shudra.
After so many years of prestige, they fell to the level of untouchables, and life is better than death is the truest portrayal of them!
But it could be a surprise to be able to force a general to say the caste system they least wanted to recognize
"Xing Jie, I don't know if you still remember Dongying's Izumo Underground Palace?"
"Of course I remember, God knows how that ruin can have something to do with the Dongying royal family. You have to use the blood of the royal family to open it, and that strange way to open it is only one place I've encountered so far. Is it possible?"
"At the beginning, the video of your excavation in Dongying has been studied many times. After our research, we found that the opening part was very similar to the ruins we have here. ”
"Then you can look for the oldest royal family. It may be very convenient to open it through their bloodline. Also, according to my experience, such ruins are basically thousands of years old, but the real indigenous people of India, that is, the Shudras that you often say, were defeated, and the real indigenous royal family was basically exterminated by the Aryans, right?
Also, I remember this was South India. The name here is Ktak, right? And this generation was the original sphere of influence of the Kalinga kingdom, and in 261 B.C., Emperor Ashoka, whom you have sung for thousands of years, led his army to fight against the Kalinga kingdom. This battle has made Ashoka an immortal prestige. Of course, the price was that the entire kingdom of Kalinga was basically slaughtered. 200,000 people were beheaded on the spot! He became the King of Sanssouci, but the royal family of the Kalinga Kingdom must have been completely wiped out, right?
In this way, the two most valuable clues have been cut off by your own people. If you want to open the ruins, you can either blow them up forcibly, but whether there will be a mass extinction of thousands of square kilometers, you don't dare to make this kind of bet. Or look for the Guardian bloodline left behind thousands of years ago in the vast sea of people. ”
In the face of Xing Jie's cynicism, General Asher was speechless. Although they have not now apparently abolished the caste system. But how can habits that have been passed down for thousands of years be changed overnight?
It's impossible.
The two methods Xing Jie said, they also spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find. The original indigenous people are still counted, and it is impossible to find them at all.
However, the remnants of the Kalinga kingdom are not difficult to find, after all, after the death of the later Ashoka, the descendants of the Kalinga kingdom resurrected, and even miraculously prospered for a while. It was not until around 1100 that it was incorporated into the Eastern Henga Dynasty. But as a Kshatriya high caste with royal blood, it is still possible to pass it on.
It's still relatively simple. The most difficult part is that this excavation is not an Indian national excavation, but a private action of the Indian military. In other words, once the commotion is too big, it is likely to be directly abandoned by the old man surnamed Zhu and General Asher, and then Xing Jie and them will be characterized as terrorists.
Of course, according to the instructions on the phone call of Major General Wang last night, the Long Pavilion side was also very interested in this ruin, and was ready to make a lot of money. This time, the support will be the three top marines, and the ships disguised as freighters have already docked in the Bay of Bengal, and the soldiers on board are waiting for them.
"Xing Jie, your luck is really enviable. Just working with you, there is good news from the three directions of Sorada, Ganjam, and Sri Gugaland. The three branches of the royal family of the entire Kalinga kingdom still exist there. However, since we didn't know the purity of the bloodline, we caught them all. There are always a few out of more than 1,000 people who recognize the purity of the blood to meet the standard. ”
Ruthless enough.
Be decisive enough.
Now that he has come to this point, General Asher has really shown his heroic nature.
It's a good thing to say, as long as a few people with pure blood are fine. But once the purity is not enough, it's not like the Dongying royal family, let's use human lives!
Since this was the case, Xing Jie stood up again and waved his hand.
The group began to prepare for departure.
Don't be too polite when dealing with those Indian soldiers. It's not his comrades-in-arms, they're all cannon fodder anyway, so let's use them as pathfinders. Even if they are dead, what does they have to do with Xing Jie?
