Chapter 142: Surfacing
Xiao Li's classmate nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with this speculation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"If the problem is with the archmage, then the archmage has not obtained that treasure either." Xiao Li's classmate said speculatively.
"Why?"
"If the archmage gets that treasure, your dream will not live in gold, which means that when the king buried the treasure for his daughter, he also secretly took precautions to prevent the archmage from betraying him."
Shen Meng looked at Xiao Li's classmate curiously, this person was too imaginative, but this speculation seemed to be very reasonable.
"As for this ancient book, I still know a little bit later." Shen Meng knew that she needed the help of this man, this man fully believed in this story, and he was a disciple of the Buddhist family, so he might be able to help her.
So in that case, there was no need for her to hide something about the ancient book from him.
But...... She can't say that she is Shen Meng, and she can't say that she has Jade Guanyin on her, Shen Meng still doesn't know what the relationship between Jade Guanyin and the princess is?
In case the Jade Guanyin was also left over from that period, Shen Meng was worried that the Jade Guanyin would be exposed because of this, so she would keep the matter of the Jade Guanyin a secret.
There are spells in ancient books, and the jade Guanyin on her body is also so magical, in order to study the words in the jade Guanyin, she often puts the jade Guanyin into the water in the middle of the night, and then turns on the hand lamp, she picks up the water cup containing the jade Guanyin, and the wall turns back to show those strange ancient texts.
From this point of view, the text displayed on the Jade Guanyin is also the text of the eighth century in ancient India, so the Jade Guanyin is also a thing of this period, will it also have something to do with the princess?
The more Shen Meng thought about it, the more nervous he became, his father and the uncle who died also came to India together, but the uncle died not long after he went back, and his father was framed as the murderer of his uncle!
What is the relationship between ancient India and Jade Guanyin in the eighth century?
Dad must know some secrets about Jade Guanyin, why didn't he tell her?
I remember that my father said that he asked her to look for a piece of Jade Guanyin, and at that time she asked why she was looking for Jade Guanyin? Dad's answer was: When the time comes, you will know.
At this time, she suddenly understood the meaning of her father's words at that time.
When the time comes, he will naturally know, and now Shen Meng feels that what is happening in front of him is revealing the secret of Jade Guanyin little by little.
What is the secret behind Jade Guanyin?
Does Jade Guanyin have anything to do with the ancient book and the dead princess? Shen Meng couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.
Xiao Li's classmates looked at Shen Meng speculatively, "What else do you know, you might as well say it, and I'll help you analyze it." ”
"I also know a story about ancient books. Once upon a time, in a very mysterious forest, there was a castle, and no one knew what was in that castle, and no one had ever come near it. Because there were many ferocious beasts outside the castle, and the animals seemed to be trained and on their mission, and they guarded the castle and kept it from being approached.
During this period, there were many people who wanted to go in and find out, but those people were all gone and never returned, and their lives and deaths were uncertain. Later, a group of explorers came to the vicinity of the castle, and those people wanted to go into the castle to explore, but the animals outside the castle guarded the castle, and they didn't go in.
Eventually, the men poisoned the river that flowed to the castle, and on the night the explorers poisoned the river, all their things and water were gone. The next day, many of the trees began to wither, and some of the towering trees actually collapsed, blocking the way home for the explorers.
At this moment, the animals that guarded the castle also died. The explorers could not leave the castle and had to walk towards the castle, and the moment they entered the castle, the only entrance to the castle, that is, the exit, was blocked by a large stone statue at the entrance. These people looked desperately at the blocked exit, so they had to bite the bullet and walk inside, hoping that there were other exits inside.
As a result, they searched the entire castle, but could not find a second exit, and to their shock, there were no windows in the castle, only some very small air holes.
The exit to the castle was blocked, and there were no windows in the castle, but even so, the castle did not fall into darkness, and the explorers found a lamp in the castle, a lamp hanging on the wall.
Those people were terrified, everyone knew that this castle was a long time, no one knew how many years this castle was, and there was a light on inside, which made everyone mistakenly think that there were people here, and everyone once again had the hope of survival, so those people once again looked for the castle seriously to see if there was anyone living here in the castle.
But, once again, it turned out that there was no one living here, and there was nothing but the large coffins. In the castle they also found a lot of bats and poisonous snakes, which were coiled on top of the coffins, and no one dared to approach those coffins, and no one knew that the people of that period were buried in the coffins.
Then there was no grass or tree growing around the castle, and the water in the river was black and muddy, and the people said that it was a bad place, and they divided it, and no one wanted to go near it, and no one wanted to be tainted with an ominous atmosphere. ”
Shen Meng finished telling the story about that castle in one go.
"You're telling me that the story you know is probably the princess's grave." Xiao Li's classmate asked.
"Don't you think the castle in this story is very similar to the princess's palace?" Shen Meng said cautiously, in fact, she also thought of a key question, after all, there are not many people who bury the dead on the ground, especially such a big palace, there are not many people who are so rich throughout the ages, and there are not many people who bury the dead in such a big palace, so Shen Meng will associate these two things together.
Xiao Li's classmates fell into thought and did not speak.
Things are too strange, and the story of the princess must be looked up so that the mystery can be solved.
"Maybe I can help you, you come with me." Xiao Li's classmate whispered.
Shen Meng got up and followed Xiao Li's classmates into an inner court, and came to a bookshelf with many scripture books, Shen Meng saw him pull out a book from a very hidden corner for a long time.
"This is a history book about kings in various periods that I accidentally got ten years ago when I was traveling in the mountains and rivers, and I brought it back out of curiosity, maybe it will be useful to you." Xiao Li's classmate handed the book that was not very thick to Shen Meng, Shen Meng took the book, opened it carefully, and found the record of that night in ancient India in the eighth century from the catalog, and turned to that night, she read it carefully.
"You take your time, I'll go outside and keep watch." Xiao Li's classmates went out, he has spent this book many times, he knows exactly what is written in it, this is also a kind of interest he likes to understand history, when he was in school, he learned history very well, and he liked to read some books about ancient times.
Shen Meng didn't speak, and looked at the book intently.
That's what the book says......
In ancient India in the eighth century AD, there was a princess who was born as beautiful as a flower and was deeply favored by the king. But the princess was thin-lived, and before the princess was ten years old, she had a lively and lovely personality, but after the age of ten, the princess's personality became more and more dislike to speak, and her face became more and more pale, and the king found many doctors to treat the princess, but there was no improvement.
When the princess was fifteen years old, she was originally a white and tender princess, but after being tortured by illness for five years, she had become a paper man, skinny, and the king was heartbroken to see it.
I didn't know what disease the princess had, and I didn't heal the princess too much.
The princess became more and more timid, and locked herself in the house every day, not daring to go out of the house, and was even more afraid of death, and I don't know who told her that after death, she would be buried in the ground, and was bitten by those ants and bookworms, and the princess was so frightened that she cried all day long, and the king was anxious, so she thought that once her daughter died, she must not bury the princess in the dark and damp ground, so the king began to secretly build a very special castle, which had no windows except for some vents.
The king thought that he could hide it from the princess, but the wise princess knew that it was a tomb prepared for her, and although she was sad, she still knew that she would not live long, so she accepted it silently.
I knew that one night, the princess suddenly went to the newly built palace at night, and she walked in, because there were no windows, so it was very dark inside, and the princess's complexion was pale and white, and there was no blood at all, and in that dark palace, no one knew what the princess was thinking.
Since that night, people in the palace have often died, and people are terrified, knowing that one day an archmage will appear, and no one will die in the palace, and everyone will call that archmage a divine mage.
The king also admired the mage, so he told the mage that he wanted to bury the princess in gold, and discussed with him how to leave the gold and silver jewels to his daughter forever and not be stolen by the tomb robbers.
So the mage told the king that he could use a spell to leave the treasures to the princess forever.
Not long after the king and the mage decided, the princess died, and the king was grief-stricken and gave the princess a large number of treasures as a burial companion.
The later stories were the same as those that Shen Meng had seen in the library.
The stories are already intermittently coherent.
One of the doubts was the mage, and the princess's strange condition. And after dying in the palace all the time, why did no one die in the palace as soon as the mage appeared?
Who is this mage?
Can he be trusted?
Shen Meng couldn't help but ask himself in his heart?
The princess, so young, she was still a child when she was sick, and it is recorded in the book that the princess was originally a white and chubby little girl, but after the age of ten, the princess's face began to turn pale and bloodless.
If in the current society, Shen Meng would suspect that the princess had leukemia, an incurable disease.
However, if the current medical explanation is used, it is impossible for leukemia to live until five years later, and the princess will die after five years. (To be continued.) )
