Chapter 512: Two Pieces of Stubborn Iron
The Liang and Mu brothers are unlucky, as the descendants of the once nobles, they have been slaves since birth, and have always lived on the edge of life and death, and the most worrying thing every day is one thing, and these two things are to live. Yes, survival is the only pursuit of slaves, and as long as they can live, they can pay any price. This is how the brothers lived this way since they were children, and they have always believed that such a life will accompany them to the end of their lives.
But now the Liang and Mu brothers are lucky, Su Yichen and their unexpected arrival, as well as the records of their ancestor Liang Zheng were unexpectedly discovered, so that they first became citizens from slaves overnight, and then resumed their status as nobles.
It was like a dream, and until they put on the robes of the nobility, the brothers still couldn't believe it was real. Ramon. Anthony made good on his promise, and when the Liang and Mu brothers revealed the location of Liang Zheng's grave and then handed it over, it was only natural that they would be restored to their nobility.
Of course, the brothers may have been scared in the Liang Kingdom, and their slave life since childhood made them never want to go back to their hometown where they were sad. This point is right for Raymond. There is no problem with Anthony, you must know that Shangji is also a feudal king, and it is a desperate thing for Shangji to hand over the two brothers to Shangji, and Shangji will solve their noble status.
Don't talk about the ecstasy of the Liang and Mu brothers after restoring their nobility, and don't talk about whether they will regain the family's former glory in Shangguo in the future. After getting what they needed, there was no need for Su Yichen and the others to continue to stay in Shangguo, and they gave Shangji a little benefit as a reward before leaving. Afterwards, the four of them left the capital of Shangguo and left directly from the air under the kneeling of Shangji and the feudal kings, envoys, nobles, and citizens who had come to worship, including slaves.
The advent of God made Shangguo a kingdom of gods. Since then, the country has been thriving, and the country's strength has increased greatly. After another hundred years, the previous ordinary Shang Kingdom gradually expanded into a large feudal state, and the feudal monarch of Shang Guo also became the most powerful of all feudal monarchs, and after another hundred years, as the king's power gradually declined. The new feudal monarch of Shang Guo once again took the opportunity to annex the territory of several small feudal monarchs, and since then the pattern of the world has begun to change completely, and the emerging forces centered on Shang Guo have begun to replace the authority of the king, the decline of royal power, and the rise of Shang Guo, thus opening the curtain of great changes in the world.
However, these have nothing to do with Su Yichen and the others, after leaving Shang Guo, they returned to the place where the spaceship was, boarded the spaceship and headed in the direction of Liang Guo. According to the message of the Liang and Mu brothers. Liang Zheng's tomb is far from the border area between Liang and Zeng, there is an area of mountains stretching over there, and there is a dense primeval forest, it is very difficult for people to find the exact location in this place, but for Su Yichen and them, it is not too difficult to find the exact location from the air, because the two brothers said very clearly, the place where Liang Zheng's grave is located is a valley. And there was a small stream running through that valley.
Searching down from the air, the brain system soon found five similar places in this area. Then, by analyzing each of these five places, they easily determined that Area 3 should be the target.
When the spaceship gradually landed over the No. 3 Valley area, and then they walked out of the landing spaceship, Su Yichen couldn't help but look around, this valley has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. The environment is really good.
"It should be over there, right?" Luo Yan was also looking at this place, and when her gaze swept over a position close to a mountain wall, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised her hand to point in that direction.
Following what Luo Yan pointed out, Su Yichen carefully identified it. There was a hillock-like terrain with some dense vegetation growing on it, and it seemed to be no different from the rest of the surrounding area, but if you looked closely, you could see a trace of people.
Su Yichen and Luo Yan immediately walked over there, and at this time, Ike also walked out, he glanced in the direction where Su Yichen and the others were going, and quickly followed.
Walking closer, Su Yichen was almost sure that this must be Liang Zheng's grave, because under the dense grass and trees, he had already seen several artificially made stone slabs. With a shout, they began to clear the place, and it wasn't long before the vegetation was cleared from above, revealing a grave made of stone slabs below.
In fact, it is a tomb, but it is more like a stone house that has been sealed. If their guess is correct, this place should be the place where Liang Zheng lived here in the new year. And when Liang Zheng died, the two retinues who accompanied Liang Zheng directly used this stone house as his tomb according to his last wishes, and sealed it with the same stone slabs and earth, so that it became a natural cemetery.
More than a hundred years have passed, Liang Zheng may not have thought that his descendants would be beaten from the nobility to the point of slavery, losing the sacrifice of descendants, this place is of course easy to barren, which is also the reason why it is difficult to recognize this tomb at a cursory glance, if the time is longer, maybe a few hundred years, then with the growth of soil and plants, Liang Zheng's tomb will one day finally become a real mound.
"Looks like we're in luck, and if there's something inside, it should be well preserved." Ramon. Anthony looked at the grave that had been cleaned up outside and said with a smile.
Indeed, it is a good thing for them that Liang Zheng's tomb exists in this way. However, for digging people's graves, even if it is the graves of members of primitive civilizations outside the river, Su Yichen and his wife are still a little uncomfortable. So, it's up to Raymond to do it. Anthony came to deal with it, and after getting Ike's consent, Raymond. Anthony began to clean further inside, first removing the sealed stone slabs, and then cleaning off the sealed earth, and gradually the door of the stone house was clearly visible to everyone.
"I'm going to open it." Ramon. Anthony turned around and said, the wooden door of the stone house has long since decayed, and if there is no stone slab outside, I am afraid it would no longer exist. Anthony grabbed the wooden door and pulled it out, and one of the doors snapped open and scattered like shards on the ground.
The door opened, and nothing could be seen in the black hole in the stone house, and after being closed for a long time, a puff of gray-black smoke came out of it, which was poisonous, and of course it had no effect on them at all. Su Yichen and the others in spacesuits can walk directly in the universe, where would they care about this kind of smoke and dust?
Without waiting for the smoke to dissipate, Raymond. Anthony couldn't wait to walk in, and when he didn't long go in, he heard an exclamation from inside, and Su Yichen and the others who were outside thought something was going on, so they hurriedly followed in.
The area in the stone house is not large. It is about 20 square meters, divided into two areas, one area outside, the other area inside, the outside is estimated to be a living room, and the inside is the bedroom.
From the outside, the stone house was pitch black, but when you walked inside, it was not so gloomy, but the sunlight that poured in from the doorway. This makes a stone house no different from an ordinary building.
The area outside is not large, about 6 square meters, except for some traces of decayed daily necessities, there is nothing else. Ramon. Anthony's exclamation came from the room inside, Ike and Su Yichen walked in front, Luo Yan followed behind, and walked in one after another.
When walking into the room inside, it was not only Su Yichen and his wife. Even Ike couldn't help but snort, because the first thing they saw was nothing else. It's a person, an old man who looks like a living person, alive on a stone bed, with his eyes slightly closed.
"This ...... Is this Liang Zheng? Luo Yan was the last to see it, and she also exclaimed when she saw the old man sitting cross-legged, she had guessed Liang Zheng's bones before they came in. Whether they saw a skeleton or a coffin, this was normal, but no one expected that after so much time, Liang Zheng's body had not yet decomposed, and even sat here as before.
At first glance, I was surprised. The second glance is emotion. The fact that Liang Zheng's body was able to be preserved is almost a miracle for this place. You must know that this is a valley, the air is humid, the climate is warm like spring, and ordinary corpses cannot be preserved at all according to common sense, but Liang Zheng's corpse is still intact, even like a living person.
Looking at the corpse, no one rushed forward to inspect or touch it, because they knew that although the corpse was well preserved, now that the tomb was opened, this miraculous corpse might soon change, or it would decay after a long time. Moreover, the purpose of their coming here was not to see any corpses, but to find things left by Liang Zheng, such as his records or other things. Naturally, everyone's eyes searched the room, and soon they all stopped to a place to the left of the corpse.
Not far to the left of the corpse was a wooden table, the appearance of which was still intact, and there were some neat bone fragments on the table, and Ike's eyes lit up at the sight of these.
Ike hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed the top bone fragment, when he grabbed a bone fragment and began to look at it carefully, but after a few glances, Ike frowned, and then picked up another bone fragment to look at, but it didn't take long to get the third bone fragment.
Ike's strange behavior attracted Su Yichen's attention, and he also walked over, picked up the first bone piece that Ike had seen, and when he looked at it carefully, he immediately shook his head in his heart, because this bone piece was not the record of Liang Zheng they were looking for at all, it was just a very ordinary book content.
Next, the same is true for the second piece, and the same is true for the third piece, all the bone fragments on the table have been flipped, and they are disappointed to find that there is no record of Liang Zheng here, everything is ordinary things.
These bone fragments are useless, which makes everyone very disappointed, and then everyone searched for this room again, and soon found some other things, but after careful comparison and reading, these things are not what they need, the room is so big, almost at a glance, Liang Zheng could not have deliberately hidden his record or something before he died, because there is no need for this, could it be that Liang Zheng did not leave a record at all? Or was his record taken away? That is, the two retinues who buried him took it? There is no answer to this question for a while.
"Corpses." It was at this time that Raymond. Anthony reminded him softly, and Ike reacted immediately, turning his head to look at the corpse sitting cross-legged. Maybe Raymond. Anthony reminded that if Liang Zheng left anything behind before he died, then this thing is probably on his body, that is, on the body of the corpse.
For the search of the body, of course, this matter was still carried out by Raymond. Anthony came to do it, and immediately he stepped forward to look carefully, and soon found two things from the corpse.
"You see, these two things seem likely."
Take Raymond. The things Anthony handed over, one of these two things was a bone fragment, this bone fragment was no different from an ordinary bone fragment, but when Ekding looked at it, he was stunned.
"Strange ......." Ike couldn't help but sigh softly, and he realized that the words on the bone shards were not the words of this world, or that they were not pictographs at all in terms of the structure of the words, but a different kind of text. They had never seen this kind of writing, and it was certain that it did not appear in all the books collected by Shang Ji, so what was this kind of writing? How can it be on bone fragments?
Ike and the others knew that through Liang Zheng's record, Liang Zheng did not learn the other party's language in the so-called divine domain, and Liang Zheng himself wrote very clearly, he first communicated with the other party through this body language, and then the other party communicated with him in his language. In other words, from the time he met the members of the unknown civilization to the time he returned to his own world, he did not learn the language of the other party.
Ike, as a cosmic explorer, can't be mistaken about this, but the question is what happened to the words on the bone shard he saw now? Could it be that Liang Zheng did not learn the other party's language, but learned the other party's script? So why did he use this kind of transcription? What's the purpose of this?
After thinking about it carefully, Ike couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, and what was written in this kind of text could only be deciphered by returning to the Vanguard spacecraft. Ike first carefully put away this piece of bone, and then looked at the second thing, when he saw the second thing clearly, he was stunned, because this thing was very familiar to him, and immediately took out the same thing from his pocket, and compared the two together, except for a slight difference in appearance, the two things were almost identical, and the thing he took out of his pocket was the knuckle-sized "stubborn iron" that Liang took off from his neck.
