Chapter Eighty-Six: The Tiger Talisman, the Seal of the King of Dian and the Silk Painting

Grandpa Rat gasped, and then said, "The ancient Dian king divided the families of these twelve princesses, righteous sons, royal brothers, and courtiers into twelve treasure families according to the twelve zodiac signs. My family is the Rat Clan, and your family is the Dragon Clan.

Long Xi asked curiously: "Are the twelve treasure families the Rat Clan, the Ox Clan, the Tiger Clan, the Rabbit Clan, the Dragon Clan, the Snake Clan, the Horse Clan, the Sheep Clan, the Monkey Clan, the Rooster Clan, the Dog Clan, and the Pig Clan?"

The "princess" said, "Yes." You must think it's strange for me to dress like this, don't you? No way, my great-grandfather, my grandfather's grandfather, was the last prince of the Ming Dynasty, he left a will, and future generations must not forget their homeland, and they must wear Ming Dynasty clothes. I wear modern clothes to hide my identity when I run for my life, and I wear it like this every day. ”

The short-tempered Niu Rhino saw that she was digressing again, so he hurriedly said: "The earliest record of the Dian Kingdom in the history of the Z country is Sima Qian's "Historical Records: The Biography of Southwest Yilie". From the end of the Warring States period to the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty, it was about the middle of the Western Han Dynasty that the ancient Dian Kingdom began to decline, due to the continuous decline of national strength, the ancient Dian Kingdom was replaced by the county system of the Central Plains Dynasty from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and came to the end of its life. ”

Long Xi said: "I have watched the documentary "The Disappearing Ancient Dian Kingdom" before, and I know that at the end of the 20th century, archaeologists once unearthed thousands of exquisite bronzes and seals of the Dian kings in Shizhai Mountain, Jinning, Yunnan, which made the world pay more attention to the once extremely glorious ancient Dian Kingdom. ”

Grandpa Rat nodded and said, "I've heard about this too. In the second year of Yuanfeng of the Western Han Dynasty (109 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack the Dian Kingdom, but the King of Dian was unable to resist and surrendered the whole country, and asked Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to send officials into the Dian Kingdom. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him the seal of the king of Dian made of pure gold and allowed him to continue to govern his people. Later, the craftsmen of the Dian King sent pure gold to imitate the seal of the Dian King, but there was a word in it that was changed, and my family guarded the altered one, which had a clue to the treasure. I'll show you a look. ”

Long Xi couldn't help but be a little excited. I didn't expect her to be able to see the Yin Ye of the Dian King up close!

The bull rhinoceros took them to the stone wall on the east side of the third cave, where a protruding stone behind a protruding stone actually hid a depression made of gold, shaped like half of the tiger talisman that Long Xi had seen on TV before.

The bull rhino untied a silver necklace from his neck.

Long Xi saw the tiger-shaped gold pendant on the silver necklace and asked curiously, "Is this half of a golden tiger talisman?"

Niu Rhino smiled and said: "It is worthy of being the descendant of Mr. Long Futian, who is known as the 'Ancient Dian State Wisdom and Many Stars', and it is really a good eyesight! This is the tiger talisman used by the last person Gu Dian King, this is the left half of the talisman, and the right half of the talisman is on the wall." The left and right halves are combined, and the door can be opened safely. This talisman was given to my ancestors by the ancient Dian king, because my ancestors were the local guards who sent troops and sent generals, and they had made countless military exploits. ”

Long Xi said: "There seems to be an inscription on this talisman. ”

Niu Rhino handed her the golden tiger talisman and said with a smile: "You can take a look, most of them are small seals." ”

Long Xi took the tiger talisman and took a look, only to see that the talisman was about 5 cm high, about 10 cm long, 7 mm thick, with a groove on the back and a small hole in the neck. The image of the tiger is a tiger jumping with its mouth open, with nine lines of gold inscriptions, a total of four crosses, most of which are small seals.

Long Xi said with a smile: "The tiger talisman I have seen is generally a crouching tiger, a standing tiger, and it is really rare to see a jumping tiger talisman!"

She looked at it for a while, and could barely see that the first few small seal characters seemed to be: the talisman of the armor, the right is in the king, and the left is in the ox.

Niu Rhino said: "My grandfather told me that the meaning of this inscription is that the right half of the symbol is in the hands of the King of Dian, and the left half of the symbol is in the hands of General Niu Song of Niutou City. Whenever an army of more than 50 people is to be mobilized, the left symbol of the bull head city must meet the right symbol of the king, so that the order can be marched. But in case of emergency, you can light a beacon fire, and you don't have to meet the king's right symbol. General Niu Song is my ancestor. ”

He put the half-side tiger talisman with the half-tiger talisman on the wall, and as soon as he pressed it, the stone wall slowly rose. It turns out that this stone wall is a stone door, and there is a cave in it, which is a stone room.

Zhu Junyao said to Long Xi: "The opening mechanism of this stone wall is improved and designed by Feng Zihao according to the "Luban Ancient Spectrum", if there is no tiger talisman, if the stone wall is forcibly pushed down, it will touch the mechanism, and poisonous water will shoot out." It's not that our Wang Po sells melons and boasts, Xiao Hao is quite smart!"

Feng Zihao has not spoken to anyone since he entered the cave, and he walks by himself, as if he is out of the crowd. At this time, when he heard Zhu Junyao's words, his ears were faintly red, he glanced at Long Xi, and then twisted his head away.

Mo Kun frowned, thinking to himself why this "princess" always said good things about Feng Zihao in front of Long Xi? And this Feng Zihao seems to be acting a little awkward!

He glanced at the fawn, who shrugged mischievously, blinked, and whispered to Mokun, "I have a sense of foreboding. ”

Mo Kun nodded, indicating that he felt the same way.

As soon as they entered, they saw a stone table, several stone chairs, and two stone beds. There are also jade pots and jade cups on the stone table.

There is a large iron cabinet next to the stone wall, which looks very similar to the wooden cabinets in the Chinese medicine hall where medicinal herbs are stored, and there are at least 200 drawers. If you look for them one by one, it will take a long time.

All drawers are locked, and on the lock of each drawer hangs an iron plaque with the name of a Chinese medicinal herb engraved on it.

Zhu Junyao took out another silver key, opened the drawer with the iron sign "Baizhu", and took out a boxy iron box and a rectangular iron box inside.

The two iron boxes were locked again, and Grandpa Rat took out a large bunch of keys from his pocket, stroked the keys of different shapes with his hands, and soon found two of the keys and handed them to the bull rhino.

Niu Rhino used one of the keys to open the lock of the cube iron box, opened it, put on white gloves, carefully took out a gold seal, held it in his hand, and let Long Xi and them see.

While he was doing it, Zhu Junyao explained: "This iron box is also designed by Xiao Hao, if you don't open it with a key and forcibly open it in other ways, the base will shoot poisonous needles." ”

Long Xi was amazed.

This is a snake button gold seal, engraved with four seals: the seal of the king of Dian.

Grandpa Rat said: "This gold seal weighs 90 grams, the side length of the printing surface is 2.4 centimeters square, and the height is 2 centimeters; ”

The bull rhinoceros used the same method to open the lock of the rectangular iron box, and took out a scroll of paintings, which slowly unfolded on the stone table.

Zhu Junyao said with a smile: "Pay attention to the word 'king' on the seal. This ancient painting is painted with the seal of the real King of Dian. Look at the door, this king character is a normal king character, three horizontal and one vertical. The horizontal in the middle of it is on the top, and the king character in ancient times is written in this way, if the middle horizontal is written in the right, in ancient times, the king will not be read, but the jade will be read......"

Niu Rhino couldn't help but say, "My princess, you digress again." Xiaoxi, look at the king character on the seal of Grandpa Mouse, this character is the one that was changed according to the order of the king of Dian. These three horizontal twists and turns, like the river streams? Aren't they very similar to the three horizontal lines of the jade character on your longevity lock? And this vertical, it seems to connect these three river streams. That's one of the clues!"

Long Xi said: "It is indeed very similar. In this way, the clue is hidden in the river. But the country Z has a lot of land and many rivers, which river is it?"

Xiaolu suddenly clapped his hands and said in surprise and joy: "I know, it is three rivers flowing in parallel! I have traveled to Yunnan with my friends before, and I have seen with my own eyes that the magical three rivers flow in parallel, and the three rivers flow in parallel but do not intersect, which is really a very peculiar natural geographical landscape!"

Grandpa Rat nodded with a smile and said, "It's really a talented person from generation to generation, and the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!" My father has been studying this all his life, and he also thinks that the hint on this golden seal refers to the parallel flow of the three rivers in Yunnan. And he told me that the ancestral testament is to take good care of this golden seal, because it is the key to open the door of the treasure house, and the principle is similar to that of a tiger talisman to open the door. ”

Mo Kun, who was not familiar with the history and geography of country Z, stood beside her, and she felt that she couldn't help at all, as if it was a little useless!

He suddenly remembered that he had copied a geography textbook from country Z into his high-intelligence chip, and immediately activated the search function, and sure enough, he found it.

So he said methodically: "Oh, I remember, the parallel flow of the three rivers refers to the parallel flow of the three rivers, which refers to the Jinsha River, the Lancang River and the Nu River, which originate in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and flow more than 170 kilometers in parallel in Yunnan Province, covering an area of 1.7 million hectares. This covers a wide area, and it's hard to find!"

Zhu Junyao said with a smile: "It seems that this son of Yushu Linfeng is also well-read and strong! Come, you can take a look at the clues I guard." Grandpa Rat is a descendant of the Rat Clan in the Twelve Families, and I am ...... Don't laugh...... The descendants of the pig clan are guarding a silk painting. ”

As if playing a trick, she took out another key and opened the drawer with the small iron card of "Angelica".

I saw a small rectangular iron box in the drawer.

Grandpa Rat took out another key and handed it to the bull rhino.

The bull rhinoceros used the key to open the small iron box, only to see that there was another scroll inside. He put on his gloves again and slowly unfolded the scroll on the stone table, which turned out to be a long colored silk book.

Long Xi also has a little study of Chinese painting, and if you look closely, this silk painting is divided into eight parts.

The first part is a man in costume holding a seed in his hand, and in front of him is a dug pit. The second part is the man filling in the hole. The third part is the growth of young flower seedlings in the soil.
