Chapter 44: Elysium
If the red-faced scholar heard that Li Wanfa had let the bandits escape with the crime, he would have been furious and reproached Li Wanfa for making things difficult, but at this time he understood everyone's situation, these peasant bandits were very vicious, and they all had weapons, so they could not subdue them at the moment, so they could only find a way to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and let them leave here in order to protect the cultural relics.
Li Qi said nervously: "Old ...... Boss, he'...... He's right, I think we're still ...... It's withdraw, the eighth and the monkey are dead, this is ...... It's haunted...... If we stay any longer, I'm afraid something big will happen...... Boss, we've got a lot of treasures anyway...... Still with baby ......"
Before Li Qi's words fell, Wang Wu raised his hand and gave him a slap in the face, and Lao Qi turned around, his eyes were full of stars, and he sat on the ground.
Wang Wu glared and scolded: "I'll take your mother!" You are a waste, you are scared to death all day long, the eighth and the monkey are dead, can we just walk empty-handed?! Didn't the eighth and the monkey die in vain?! ”
Li Qi covered his cheeks and said nervously, "Old ...... Old Five...... I...... We can leave first...... Be ready to come back. ”
A short and fat villager next to him said: "Hold your old mother, when the country's army has found here, you will come back and do it, if you let the people on the road know about this place, it will be impossible to eat black and eat black, and there will be many dreams at night, we will do it now!" Otherwise, the government's search for this missing archaeological team would definitely find it. If you talk nonsense again, Lao Tzu will kill you first!
The peasant bandit boss looked fierce, and said viciously: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, this ancient tomb is not something ordinary people can encounter, how can Lao Tzu miss it?!" He said coldly: "Even if it is a bloody corpse, it was not destroyed by us just now, no matter what ghosts and monsters are in the ancient tomb, the gun in Lao Tzu's hand can be solved!" Since there are bloody corpses in this tomb, there must also be magical treasures! Lao Tzu must find it! ”
The second brother walked over, holding two glittering gold medals in his hands, which were picked out of the treasures brought out by Lao Jiu. The second brother whispered: "Big brother, this is the gold medal that Lao Jiu brought out of the tomb at the risk of death, you can come and see." ”
The boss looked at the two gold medals, both of which were made of pure gold, the same size, with exquisite patterns engraved on the sides of the gold medals, and the carvings were beautiful, and the gold medals were also inlaid with precious stones, emitting colorful light. By the light of the fire, the gold medal reflected a dazzling golden glow, shining in the dim col. The two gold medals are engraved with several strange ancient inscriptions.
Lao Jiu also said: "Boss, when the black door was opened, these two gold medals suddenly appeared, I thought they might be useful, so I risked death to take them out, maybe I can see a little bit of the doorway of this ancient tomb from the gold medals." ”
The boss looked at the ancient text on the gold medal, and he couldn't recognize a word, he peeked at the second brother, meaning to ask: What do you see?
The second brother of this gang of peasant bandits has read some ancient books and is the most literate, so most of the places where there are ancient texts come to him to see, but this time the second brother glanced at the old ambassador and said that he didn't see the fame.
The second brother then secretly glanced at the archaeological team again, and swept the archaeological team with his eyes, and the boss immediately understood that the second brother meant to let the people from the archaeological team come to see the gold medal, and maybe there would be a discovery. The boss understands that although his people are superb in digging graves and robbing graves, and there are many local methods, they don't know anything in terms of historical knowledge, they don't even know a few big characters, and only the second brother knows some historical things. However, the literati of these archaeological teams are full of wealth and know the ins and outs of cultural relics and monuments very well, maybe let them take a look at it and know which dynasty and which era is the ancient tomb. If you know about the situation of this ancient tomb, then there may be a suitable way to rob the tomb.
The boss took the gold medal, walked up to Li Wanfa, and said, "This brother, brother, I don't know much about words, it just so happens that you also want to know which dynasty this ancient tomb belongs to, so you can take a look first." ”
Li Wanfa's face was grim and he took the gold medal. When the red-faced scholar saw that the gold medal was in Li Wanfa's hand, he immediately looked at it curiously, and Li Wanfa saw that the red-faced scholar was very anxious, so he handed a gold medal to the red-faced scholar, and then carefully handed the other gold medal to Wu Honghai.
Wu Honghai saw that the gang of peasant bandits brought out the cultural relics from the ancient tomb, and he had long wanted to grab them to take a look, he was a scholar, and when he saw the cultural relics in the ancient ruins at this moment, he couldn't wait to fly out and bring the cultural relics back to the research institute for selfless research. Now seeing the gold medal in his hand, Wu Honghai was very excited, and even forgot about the peasant bandits coercing the archaeological team, he just took the gold medal, but as soon as his hand was loosened, the gold medal fell heavily to the ground.
It turned out that Wu Honghai was extremely tired and didn't have much strength on his body, and the gold medal was all made of pure gold, which was very heavy, he was excited, and when he suddenly took it, he couldn't hold it. Wu Honghai slipped off the gold medal by mistake, as if he had lost his favorite thing, and immediately knelt on the ground, brushed off the dust on the gold medal with his hands, and gently held it with both hands, his whole body trembled with excitement.
Although the archaeological team was threatened with guns by the peasant bandits and sacrificed one more person, they were all real workers and scholars, and they all focused on the gold medal at this time. The other members of the archaeological team wanted to go over to see the two gold medals with their own eyes, but they were forced back by the villagers with guns, and only Li Wanfa held a torch and looked at the gold medals intently with Wu Honghai and the red-faced scholar.
Li Wanfa, the red-faced scholar, and Wu Honghai carefully observed the gold medal, pointing and pointing from time to time, exchanging opinions with each other in a low voice. The eldest and second brother listened with their ears pricked up, and all they heard were archaeological terms, which they didn't understand at all. The villagers saw two pure gold gold medals in the hands of Li Wanfa and the three of them, sparkling and charming. As the saying goes, "antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times", these two gold medals are definitely worth a lot of money, and the villagers are all salivating, and their saliva is about to flow out.
The three of them studied in the firelight for a while, and the red-faced scholar first showed a helpless expression, and he couldn't see any clues from the gold medal in his hand. The red-faced scholar handed the gold medal to Li Wanfa, who looked at it carefully for a while, glanced at the red-faced scholar, and shook his head.
Each gold medal is engraved with four ancient inscriptions, but it looks very strange.
The red-faced scholar frowned and said: "The ancient characters on this gold medal are like Zhong Dingwen, and a bit like the font on the Red Cliff Heavenly Book, but they are not, I have never seen this kind of ancient script." He continued: "However, the ornamentation carved on the gold medal is quite Tang style, and this gold medal seems to be the product of a combination of different eras." "The red-faced scholar and Li Wanfa are obviously powerless.
Li Wanfa was pondering, and he suddenly raised his head, as if he remembered something, but he couldn't remember the key part. He looked at the seal on the gold medal, looked up at the cloudy sky, and his thin face, full of wrinkles and blood, seemed to freeze, and his eyes became solemn.
The wind blew Wu Honghai's pale hair, and he stood motionless in the wind like a stone statue, falling into deep thought. Suddenly, a sharp flash crossed the sky, and a deafening thunder sounded, Wu Honghai's eyes flashed, as if he remembered something, he looked at the two gold medals again, and finally remembered the meaning of the seal character, his body shook, and he actually dropped the gold medal to the ground with a "dang" sound.
Seeing this, everyone knew that Wu Honghai understood the meaning of the ancient text on the gold medal, and the red-faced scholar immediately asked curiously: "Team Wu, what is this gold medal?" ”
The blades of grass blown by the wind flew horizontally, and Wu Honghai said: "The gold medal reads 'Elysium, Feather Ascension to Immortal'." ”
