Chapter 133: Escape

When the two carefully put the statue's feet into the groove, they were surprised to find that the feet were exactly the same size as the groove.

The statue, which had felt unable to stand firmly, was able to stand after entering the groove, and when the two of them carefully let go of the statue, the statue stood firmly there, and then the brick sank down, just like they had just stood on it.

At this time, Zhao Weiji and Wang Dayuan looked at each other, and they knew that the key had been found. After looking at each other, the two immediately turned back to the treasure pile to find the two remaining statues.

Soon, the two of them found the remaining two statues among the other piles of financial reports, and then concocted them and placed them on the other two bricks.

When all three statues were placed, just as the three of them had just stood up, the mechanism was activated, and this time both doors were opened at the same time.

After seeing the two doors open at the same time, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, and now they were finally able to escape.

Now that they were able to leave safely, the two began to study the treasure in this room, Wang Dayuan went to find the deed in the pirate's mouth, and Zhao Weiji walked to the body of the pirate leader, he wanted to see what was in the cloth bag.

When he walked over to the corpse and picked up the cloth bag, he found that the bag seemed to contain something like a pebble. After waiting for him to open the bag and take a look, he finally knew why the pirate captain had left so much gold and silver treasure and made such a small bag.

This bag is full of rough diamonds, although they have not been cut, but there has been a certain degree of polishing, but the only pity is that although there are a lot of diamonds in the bag, they are too small, the largest is only about one carat, and it is only a polished rough, if you cut it again, this carat of diamonds is estimated to shrink.

Just when Zhao Weiji was still looking at these diamonds one by one, Wang Dayuan also made a new discovery, he found a secret grid under the base of the tray, and after opening the secret grid, in addition to the house deed and title deed that the pirate said, he also found something else, a parchment full of words.

However, he didn't know the text on it at all, and the text on it was not Arabic, let alone Chinese characters, it was a kind of writing that Wang Dayuan didn't know very well.

"Lord Wang, come and take a look at this thing."

Due to Wang Dayuan's call, Zhao Weiji had no choice but to tie up the pocket of the diamond and then go to Wang Dayuan's side.

"Lord, these two are the deed and title deed of this house, but I don't know what this thing is, I don't know the words written on it."

Zhao Weiji took the thing that Wang Dayuan said he didn't know and looked at it, there were indeed a lot of strange words written on the parchment, which looked a little familiar, but Zhao Weiji had no way to remember what the words were.

"Isn't it a big food?"

Wang Dayuan shook his head, "It shouldn't be, although it's very similar." ”

However, Zhao Weiji suddenly thought that in addition to the use of Arabic in the Arab world in later generations, there is another language that is also widely popular in some countries in the Arab world, and this language is Persian. So the words on this parchment could not be Persian?

Thinking of this, Zhao Weiji hurriedly asked Wang Dayuan: "Huanzhang, do you know Persian?" ”

"Persian? What is Persian? Wang Dayuan didn't quite understand what Zhao Weiji was talking about.

Seeing Wang Dayuan's ignorant appearance, Zhao Weiji slapped his head, this was his own mistake, the last dynasty of the Persian Empire, the Sassanid Dynasty, had perished more than three hundred years ago.

At this time, even if someone is still speaking Persian, to outsiders, it is not necessarily possible to know that it is called Persian.

So at this time, there is no way to figure out what is written on this parchment for the time being.

Since they couldn't figure out what was written on the parchment for the time being, Zhao Weiji was not ready to dwell on this place, and now they were faced with the choice of whether to go back the way they came or continue along the exit on the other side to see what was there.

"Huanzhang, what should we do now? Do you keep going, or do you turn back? ”

"I think let's go back first, we've been down for a long time, so we should go back and talk to everyone first. Besides, we don't know what else awaits us, so it's better to get a few more people along. ”

Zhao Weiji thought about Wang Dayuan's suggestion, and it was also such a reason, so he agreed.

When the two of them returned to the house, everyone was very anxious, and Zhao Weiji's daughter was even more in a posture of crying if she couldn't see her father again.

But fortunately, the two returned in time, so there were no problems.

After introducing the following situation to the others, Zhao Weiji decided to divide the team into two groups, one group with two children to watch the house here, and the other group to go down to the depths.

But this time, Wang Dayuan was left behind, and the explanation given by Zhao Weiji was that he needed someone to be able to make a decision in case something happened to someone underground, and in this group of people, only Wang Dayuan was the most suitable for this role.

Since Zhao Weiji had already given a sufficient reason, Wang Dayuan couldn't say anything more, so the two groups of people started their own actions.

When he went down this time, Zhao Weiji was smarter than last time, in addition to bringing enough torches, he also brought some dry food and water with him, because he didn't know how long he would stay underneath, so he was prepared just in case.

After descending back into the secret room, Zhao Weiji led the people through the room where the gold was stacked, and then continued to move towards the road where the previous pirate leader tried to escape.

This road is longer than the one that came in, and it is not like the straight one when it came, this time the road has a corner, but fortunately there is no fork.

After walking on this road for about thirty minutes, Zhao Weiji and his party saw a ladder again, and after the group climbed the ladder, they entered a room again.

The room was pitch black and there was nothing, but when the room was lit up with torches, Zhao Weiji and his party found something like a switch on one of the walls. When they turned the switch, a door opened.

After turning around along the secret passage for a long time, there was only one door when they came up, which inevitably made the group a little disappointed, but disappointed to be disappointed, or to see what was in or outside the door.

So the group walked out of the gate one after another, and the dazzling sunlight after walking out of the door made them lose their vision for a while, and after everyone got used to it, they came to a place they didn't recognize.

In front of them was an extremely magnificent building, and then there was a group of people around them, and they looked at Zhao Weiji and his party with a very strange look.

Just when Zhao Weiji and his party were at a loss, an old man suddenly ran from a distance, and the old man looked at Zhao Weiji and his party with a look like seeing a beautiful woman, and looked at them a little hairy.

Just as the Arabic among them was about to go wild, the old man spoke first.

"You came out of here?"

When the Arabic speakers in the team translated the old man's words, the group was a little confused, what is this?

In order to get to the bottom of this question, the group turned their heads to the back to see what the old man was talking about.

As soon as he turned his head, everyone jumped, and the door was open on the base of a huge monument.

"Lao Zhang, you help me translate, I plan to ask this old man some questions." The Lao Zhang in Zhao Weiji's mouth is the one who knows Arabic among the people in this line.

Lao Zhang nodded after hearing this, and was ready to translate.

"Sir, where is this place, is it still in Baghdad? Why are you so excited to see us? ”

After listening to Zhao Weiji's question translated by Lao Zhang, the old man replied without thinking about it: "This is indeed still in the city of Baghdad, and what you have in front of you is the famous Wisdom Pavilion."

The reason why I am so excited to see you is because your appearance confirms a legend, I was a little out of shape just now, and I hope you will forgive me. ”

"Who are you, old gentleman, and what is the legend in your mouth?"

"My name is Kendi, and I'm a scholar in the Hall of Wisdom who studies the Sassanid Empire. As for the legend I just mentioned, it is a legend about the heroic king of the Sassanid dynasty.

Legend has it that the Sassanid king Kuslao I, after extinguishing the Mazdak rebellion, once buried all the wealth he had captured in the war in a secret chamber that was built in Baghdad, which was still a small town at the time.

However, the second caliph of our empire, Sulman, did not find any wealth when he expanded Baghdad, except that the only clue is the monument behind you, which is said to have been erected directly on a pedestal that already existed at that time.

But I've been researching here for years, and I haven't found anything suspicious about the base. There have been rumors of someone coming out of the pedestal in the middle of the night, but no one has actually seen it, so no one takes it seriously. Until you show up today. ”

These things learned from the old man's mouth confirmed Zhao Weiji's previous thoughts, that is, the construction of this secret room was definitely not something that could be completed by that group of pirates.

And at this time, Zhao Weiji suddenly thought of something, so he turned out the sheepskin he had found in the secret room from his body and gave it to the old man.

When the old man took the sheepskin, his face immediately changed.
