Chapter Seventy-Three: The Second Treasure?
"Is all this gold removed?" asked Natasha.
Xing Jie nodded, he didn't have any opinions to refute. After all, this is a relic discovered by the cooperation of the two teams, and how to distribute it has been discussed. Xing Jie was not allowed to raise any rebuttals.
After all, Xing Jie's current identity is still an adviser to the Holy See, and at this point, he can't be partial.
The gold was tempting, and needless to say, the discovery of these things put the Pope's side in the limelight.
The men of the Arbitration House were able to endure it, and although their eyes were a little green, they still smiled and congratulated them, and said that this was a great discovery in the light of God.
Xing Jie rolled his eyes, Okay, since you said it's God, it's God. Just don't hack these treasures. If you want to be famous and profited, why not make such a muffled fortune within the scope of other sovereign countries, even if you are said to be embarrassed? But that is your Holy See's business, and if something happens, you will be in your pocket.
The people on the transport ship were busy there, and Li Sishi and the others just rested for a while and then went down with the people from the arbitration hall again. As for Xing Jie, he sat on a beach chair and kept thinking there.
The picture on the tablet is the sixteen traps that Hank found in the gold warehouse.
Well, just looking at it, it can be said that it is a yin damage anomaly, and the power of the bow and crossbow is so great that it does not have any problem penetrating two or three people.
But this kind of mechanism is a little too thin for the whole treasure.
According to the consistent thinking of ordinary people, that is, since the mechanism is installed, it means that this is the last treasure. But from Xing Jie's point of view, it's not the same thing at all!
If Xing Jie and the others were to guard the gold, Xing Jie would definitely use the greatest malice to figure out who could move the gold. This is my gold, Lao Tzu wasted a lot of hard work to get this gold, you can steal it if you want? Lao Tzu doesn't need it, that's Lao Tzu's business, but it's not right if you steal it!
Therefore, in Xing Jie's opinion, it is not enough to install only sixteen mechanisms, anyway, he wants to trap people, so why not be ruthless anymore? Water, fire, quicksand, poison, bow and crossbow traps and boulders, and finally add fire oil or directly connect with the sea, who wants to steal this batch of gold, it's a big deal for everyone to play together.
Therefore, this golden treasure should just be a trick, there are definitely other things hidden here! Xu Fu, Xu Fu, is worthy of being the apprentice of Guiguzi of Yunmeng Mountain. The vertical and horizontal technique with one hand really understands people's minds thoroughly.
Big, big.
This made Xing Jie ashamed.
What kind of mechanism can be more effective than human greed?
If there were a new group of people today, without those mechanisms, the gold alone would have allowed the discoverers to kill each other. Don't say that people who do such things are stupid, you haven't seen so much gold.
I remember a very funny joke that said that if you were asked to move 100 kilograms of cement, you might say that you couldn't move it, but if you throw a 100 kilogram of 100 yuan bills in front of you, you will definitely run fast with it.
What does this mean?
Human greed is the most terrible of all.
What if someone can defeat greed? Quite simply, and then there's the biggest camouflage bunker of the real treasure, the same gold!
Who would be willing to use such a large sum of gold as a cover? This is the wealth of a rich country, with such a sum of gold, let alone ancient times, even now, you can use it to buy a small country!
And such a large fortune turned out to be just a disguise!
Do you believe it?
Well, another question arises.
What is it that is hidden, or where is it hidden?
The people in the convoy were very good, and the whole warehouse was full of gold in just one night. As for how the eight places and the Holy See will divide the spoils, that is their business, and it is not Xing Jie's turn to worry about it.
In everyone's imagination, the greatest value of this relic has been excavated. And the huge bronze sacred tree, waiting for an order, is ready to start dismantling, and then transported to a suitable place for assembly.
As for those huge statues, it is still left to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with, after all, this archipelagic country does not know anything in this regard, and when the time comes, it is enough to give them some benefits and silence their rulers. At that time, it was studied by the scientific research team and the Holy See during the later excavation here, and of course, it was a legitimate scientific expedition.
"Mr. Xing Jie, this plan can be called perfect, what do you think?"
"What about the arbitrator?"
Mr. Li Sishi said that there will be results within four days. Their side is an independent mission, and we have no right to interfere. According to the Pope's instructions, everything here is according to your orders!"
Now you need to give others the illusion that we are the real archaeology here, and I am sure that you will not be bothered at this point. Hank, Natasha, I'll be here after you two finish your mission!"
"Understood. ”
Xing Jie's thoughts in his tent could be what could it be? Able to make Xu Fu go to sea three times? Also, this incident is not recorded at all in the official history. There's something weird about that in itself.
If this incident in history is completely fictional, it is purely a matter of later generations smearing Yingzheng and arranging some small stories about how stupid Qin Shi Huang was, and he actually believed in such nonsense as immortality.
But what should I say about the statue of Xu Fu in front of me?
If this is true, then why is there no record in the official history? On the contrary, there is a clear record in the secretary of the Toying Imperial Family, saying that Xu Fu not only replenished his supplies in Toying, but also left his own descendants on Kyushu Island?
Do you want to leave yourself in the bloodline?
According to the habits of the Chinese people, this is understandable.
Therefore, the first emperor Yingzheng absolutely knew what Xu Fu was going to do, and he did not hesitate to force this matter down. What's more, there should definitely be a record of prehistoric ruins in Guiguzi in Yunmeng Mountain, or there may be a ruin there!
Otherwise, how can the Bronze Sacred Tree be explained?
How to explain the method of using the lens of the bluestone eye to form a lock-picking mechanism?
Also, until now, all the finds have been related to the golden treasure, but not to the stone statues in the entire square and the tall bronze tree.
The gods Li Sishi said are like tips for combination locks, but is that all?
That's a bit too much, isn't it?
"Mr. Xing Jie, what do you need us to do when you ask the two of us to come over?" Hank's voice directly interrupted Xing Jie's thoughts.
Xing Jie nodded. Smiled after glancing at Natasha and Hank.
"I need you to help me get on a trip to West Africa! I'll give you the address, you need to find someone named Han Zhongxuan. I'm sure you're all familiar with this person. After finding him, borrow something from him, a diamond-shaped chip.
Remember, don't say I'm borrowing, preferably in the name of the Pope. Well, if you can get the Pope's warrant, it will be perfect. Remember not to talk about my relationship with you under any circumstances!"
