Chapter 161: Dragon King Island on the Sea (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
Zhao Yang felt that he had encountered a problem.
Although I guessed that this yellow-robed ancient corpse did have a long-cherished wish, I couldn't communicate!
However, at this moment, the pupils of the yellow-robed ancient corpse shrank violently, and the loose yellow robe on its body fell off its body inexplicably.
It was a yellow talisman as a button, buttoning the yellow robe on the ancient corpse.
Although this yellow-robed ancient corpse does not say that it does not move, it can use its soul to control the yellow talisman that has been arranged in advance!
After the yellow robe fell off his body, Zhao Yang saw that the inner layer of the ancient corpse was also wrapped in a simple green robe.
In fact, Tsing Yi should really be the shroud buried by the ancients.
But at this time, Zhao Yang paid all his attention to the yellow robe on the ground.
On the white lining of this robe, dense ancient italic characters are also written in yellow handwriting!
And these are neither runes nor scriptures, but a 'historical record'!
The historical records mentioned here are not excerpts from the "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian, which means that they record a period of real events.
In fact, the archaeology of future generations, correcting and studying history is also one of the important purposes, because many ancients like to engrave some more important things on ancient tombs, or leave some documents in ancient tombs.
Zhao Yang immediately stepped forward, picked up the yellow robe, and found a flat place to carefully spread it out neatly.
In fact, Zhao Yang just saw that the dense ancient italics written in yellow handwriting were only a part.
On the back of the yellow robe, there is also a detailed topographic map!
"Zang...... Treasure maps? ”
Zhao Yang's eyes widened in an instant and he looked carefully, if it was really a treasure map, wouldn't it be a watermelon that he had lost sesame seeds? An unexpected bonus?
But Zhao Yang took a closer look, this was not an ordinary topographic map, but a nautical map!
Because in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, navigation technology was not very developed, so this navigation chart only expresses the islands and routes very exquisitely, but in terms of direction, it mainly uses stars and meteorology, so it is very rough and difficult to understand.
Because it is a very risky thing to use the meteorology of the stars in navigation.
After all, the stars are unpredictable, and if you are on land, you can postpone your journey in gloomy weather, but at sea, it may be a shipwreck if you encounter bad weather!
"Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty, why did you draw a nautical chart on the Taoist robe?"
If you want to understand it completely, you still have to read it together with pictures and texts.
Therefore, Zhao Yang, who was puzzled, carefully read all the words on the yellow robe from beginning to end, word for word.
After reading all the words, Zhao Yang spent about half an hour, and he completely understood the unfulfilled wish of this ancient corpse Li Mofeng.
During the Tang Dynasty ruled by Wu Zetian, in order to strengthen state affairs, Wu Zetian sent a large army to expedition overseas very strongly.
But I didn't think that the Great Army Fleet had just been at sea for less than two days when it encountered a storm shipwreck, and the Great Army Fleet was forced to dock on a desert island.
However, on this deserted island, the expeditionary army encountered a mysterious attack, so it was severely defeated, and almost all the army was wiped out, and only a dozen people escaped for their lives and returned to Luoyang City, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
This matter soon spread throughout Luoyang City.
Tens of thousands of expeditionary armies came back with more than a dozen, and even after being attacked and suffered heavy setbacks, they didn't even know who the enemy was, and they didn't see a shadow!
Because the matter was too strange, all kinds of speculation and rumors in the market immediately spread overwhelmingly.
Among them, because there are many ordinary people in the capital who are fanatical and superstitious about the Dragon King, a rumor soon flowed out of the market: 'Wu Zetian, as a woman, became the emperor, which provoked the anger of the heavens and the anger of the Dragon King!' It was the angry Dragon King who flooded the expeditionary army, and if Wu Zetian did not abdicate, the Tang Dynasty would die! ’
As soon as this rumor came out, it reached Wu Zetian's ears, which made Wu Zetian angry and felt that the people's hearts were unstable, so he immediately sent Dali Temple to strictly investigate the people who spread this rumor, and also arrested many people for this.
But Wu Zetian knows that using force to stop those who spread rumors cannot play an essential role, you can control the mouths of the people and not say it, but you can't control the hearts of the people.
Therefore, Wu Zetian personally sent Li Mofeng, the young secretary of Dali Temple, to the desert island to investigate the case, which is bound to find out the real culprit and stop the rumors!
Li Mofeng also obeyed Wu Zetian's order, and only brought ten elites from Dali Temple, a total of eleven people went to this isolated island by boat to investigate the case.
In this article, Li Mofeng named the island 'Dragon King Island', and this name is not based on rumors, but according to the actual situation on this desert island.
On the way to find Longwang Island, Li Mofeng also encountered a storm shipwreck, but in addition to spells, Li Mofeng also knew some astronomy and geography, meteorology and the five elements, and it was seen that the storm on the sea was not accidental, of course, it was not controlled by gods and ghosts, but because of the location of Longwang Island on the sea, plus the shape of this desert island on the sea resembled a dragon's head, with its back to the south and north, and the two peaks on the desert island resembled the two horns of the dragon's head, which just formed the effect of a whirlwind. As a result, storms are perennial around the desert island.
Because of this, Li Mofeng gave this sea desert island a name, called 'Dragon King Island'
After Li Mofeng led ten people from Dali Temple to land on the island, strange things happened frequently, including not only encountered many traps, flying sand and stones, but also many evil reptiles and beasts that had never been seen before.
And after many tricks and strange things, Li Mofeng accidentally discovered an ancient tomb at the 'Longkou' of Longwang Island on the sea!
The existence of this ancient tomb is very strange.
Li Mofeng suspected that the attack on the expeditionary army might have a lot to do with this ancient tomb, so he took ten people to open the ancient tomb on Dragon King Island.
The internal record of this ancient tomb in the article is not very detailed, and only says that the same strange things happen frequently in the ancient tomb.
Zhao Yang suspected that the reason why Li Mofeng did not have a detailed record of the ancient tomb was because Li Mofeng had only explored a little bit of the ancient tomb.
Because in the text, Li Mofeng's description of this ancient tomb is the most used word is 'big', and the most used word is 'magnificent'.
There is also a metaphor for 'Shangyang Palace after winning the competition'!
In other words, the specifications of this ancient tomb are larger than the Shangyang Palace where Wu Zetian lives!
As for the end, the ten people led by Li Mofeng were attacked by unknown objects in less than half a stick of incense after entering the ancient tomb, and the ten people died tragically, only Li Mofeng escaped from the ancient tomb with his charm and resistance, and then returned to the capital in vain......
