Chapter 67: Xu Fu
It's a good thing to have a big discovery, at least in the eyes of the Pope, this discovery can be taken out and shaken.
Recently, the Holy See has begun to show its muscles frequently in the treasure circle, first in the Garden of Asaph and then on the island.
Whether or not the things that were found had a strong Chinese flavor were not in the Pope's consideration. It is said that when the American imperialists were building the White House, they once dug out a cellar with a large number of Chinese pottery and some jade artifacts, but no one said anything.
After all, in ancient China, the radiation range was too large, and a basket of Chinese cultural relics could be dug up anywhere. This kind of thing is not uncommon.
Now the Pope has to think about whether the rest of the excavation will be eaten alone or joined forces with the Eight Places. This question needs to be carefully considered, after all, Xing Jie still has a wanted criminal hat on his head so far.
Also, what exactly does this wanted criminal mean, isn't that a matter of those people in the eight places opening their mouths? You must know that there is a Chinese idiom that says it very strangely, and it is called wearing a crime and making meritorious service. The thick black political meaning contained in these four words is profound, and it can be amazing to savor it.
As for those diplomacy, the Pope needs to think about it, and Xing Jie's side doesn't care about those things at all. After passing the photo to his father-in-law, all he had to do was wait quietly.
Drinking wine and eating meat under the gentle sea breeze is a beautiful thing.
Looking at the German sausage on the iron chisel licking under the red charcoal fire, Xing Jie and several of them were lying on the beach chairs, each with a bottle of cold beer, looking at the white clouds in the sky, this life can only be said to be enjoyment.
"Mr. Xing Jie, can we do this? Although we don't have the Eye of Bluestone, we can explore another way. I'm curious about what Jiro Onaka found back then. Natasha said after taking a few sips of beer and walking back and forth in front of Xing Jie impatiently.
"Fool, do you need to ask? I remember when we first blew up the stone wall, we all smelled a strange smell, and it was a rotten smell that can only be found in ancient tombs. And the temple we explored, it was obvious that there was no wood in it, and no one died there, so naturally it could not have been passed down from the temple.
In this case, the question is very simple, why was Onohakajiro abandoned by the Toei Admiralty back then? Nine times out of ten, too many people died there. Seventy or eighty years have passed, and the smell is still so thick that it can only be said that the road was piled up with human lives, and even the corpses cannot be recovered.
As for why we didn't continue to explore the path we were taking, I think it was also a subconscious choice, because so many people had died on the road that seemed safer, and there were probably more mechanisms on the other road. If so many people die, I'm afraid Ono Naka Jiro won't be able to explain like above.
The most crucial point is that the situation of the war has forced them to abandon this place for the time being, and wait until the time turns around before continuing to dig. This can be seen in the carefully repaired stone wall. The most important thing is, you've done all the work, what do you want your colleagues to do in the back?"
When listening to Xing Jie's analysis, it was really enlightened, and the sudden last sentence made Natasha a little confused. What does it mean to say this?
Xing Jie looked at the other party's somewhat confused eyes, and could only shake his head. It seems that the Pope is really short of people at the moment. Natasha is a woman who is loyal and extremely capable of doing things, but she is a little too simple in dealing with people.
If it were Aunt Isabel or Alyssa, who was already dead, she would have handled this matter comfortably.
However, Xing Jie is not Natasha's father, why should he teach her to be smart?
After all, it's just a partnership.
Xing Jie did not fall into the ground, and the Pope should already feel lucky.
……
The Holy See and the Eight were fast on both sides, and when the sun was just rising the next day, with the roar of helicopters, two groups of people appeared on the beach at the same time.
The Holy See came with a team from the arbitration institute, and the leader of the team, Xing Jie, seemed to have some impressions, but he was not familiar with them. After all, the people in that department are all guys who stab knives in the back, and their psychology is distorted to the point that they are somewhat abnormal. To use a simple analogy, it's the root of Konoha in the Hokage.
It's hard to say that they are right and evil, but they have nothing to do with Xing Jie. As for what Natasha thinks, it is their own internal matter, Xing Jie is just a consultant, taking money to do things. And the mouth of the person dies ugly, this old saying Xing Jie is still clear.
The people who came from eight places brought Xing Jie real warmth. The team leaders are Li Sishi and Lao Wang, and as for the team members, they are all newly recruited younger brothers under the hands of the five. Although they didn't know what Xing Jie was doing, but in the eyes of these people who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, it was simply a joke.
Besides, Xing Jie beat the masters sent out by the 925 and the reserve battalion in the process of escaping, which was rumored to be a good story in the eight places, which shocked these rookies. In addition, when they were finally able to go on a mission, a group of little wolf cubs were screaming excitedly.
"Brother Jie, the big guys above have given orders. So far, we can do without anything else, but we must get the book in the statue's hand. Because ......," Lao Wang whispered in Xing Jie's ear.
"Because the book may explain the spatial layout of the ruins below, right? According to the current speculation, this is probably an existence that is no less than the Lop Nur Temple, right? However, I think the upper side will be disappointed this time. This relic is far from what you think. Lao Li, what did my father-in-law say? If I'm not mistaken, this person with the book in his hand should be Xu Fu, right?" Xing Jie tilted his head and said.
"That's right, from the time, the style of the narrative, the written record, and the ability to sail at that time, it is speculated that only Xu Fu had this strength at that time. Of course, the most important thing is that we found the word 'Junfang' in the photo you sent back, which is Xu Fu's character, which I think everyone knows. Li Sishi nodded and said.
……
Xing Jie gathered everyone on the beach, and while drinking cereal, he began to share the information he knew.
This is a must, as the next two teams will be conducting separate expeditions to the subterranean ruins. Only by doing the necessary information exchange can we fully cooperate, otherwise, once we provoke some moths, the possibility of getting out alive is almost zero at more than 100 meters underground!
"Mr. Xing Jie, are you saying that those huge stone statues are Xu Fu, a Chinese from more than 2,000 years ago? But as far as I know, even in your Chinese historical legends, didn't he go to Dongying to find the elixir of immortality for the greatest emperor at that time, Qin Shi Huang?" Hank exclaimed.
Xing Jie smiled and nodded, standing in the middle of the crowd. After looking around, the chaotic voices fell silent in an instant. This made Li Sishi praise in his heart, after a few years, this guy has finally cultivated his own momentum.
"Hank, those are wild histories, just listen to them as myths and legends, and don't take them seriously. When the Qin Dynasty ruled the world, Dongying had already begun to pay tribute to China as a vassal state, and as the emperor, how could Yingzheng not know that there was such a country?
As for Xu Fu, the record shows that he went to sea three times, and each time he carried a large amount of gold and manpower. If Xu Fu is a liar, then he will be deceived once and will never come, because no emperor will be so stupid and he will not wake up after being deceived three times, not to mention Yingzheng, the already suspicious emperor?
As we all know, Toba, the high priest of Toei Ise Shrine, once gave me some books, and it was very clear that Xu Fu had stayed in Toei for a while. At that time, the seven generations of Dongying Xiaoling greeted them in person, and after arranging all the provisions, they sent them away, and the scene was written very vividly, occupying three pages. You get it?"
