I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of who the enemy hidden in Ta'er Lake would be.

At this time, Xiao Mao floated up from under the water and swam to the shore. As soon as he came ashore, he saw the dead man I had just scooped up.

I told Xiao Mao about my guess, Xiao Mao has acted with Lu Fangding so many times before, if Lu Fangding has an enemy, Xiao Mao may know something.

"It's hard to say, outsiders know that the enemy of the top master is Zhao Sanyuan, but what does Zhao Sanyuan say, it can't be a big deal, because he is too selfish. The top master's mind was not completely focused on business, otherwise, with the top master's means, it was not impossible to defeat Zhao Sanyuan. Xiao Mao first ruled out the possibility of Zhao Sanyuan, Zhao Sanyuan did know some inside information, but he lacked a capable helper, and he would not keep pulling the landing and putting it on the top and not letting go.

"Then who else can there be besides Zhao Sanyuan?"

"This matter, it depends on what you think, don't you think that the other party may not plan to do anything to us?" Xiao Mao looked at the things found from the corpse and said, "The people who can be sent by the top master to do things are not cowards, if someone can do this person unconsciously, then can the two of us hide?" ”

"I probably can't hide from it......" I smiled bitterly, not to mention anything else, if Blind San'er didn't have a relationship with me, just a killer in charge of ambushes, maybe I couldn't guard against it, and I would be killed by him.

"The best thing to do is to act as if nothing happened." Xiao Mao also smiled bitterly, looked around, and said: "If there is really someone around here, we can't find him, if he wanted to attack us, he would have done it a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait until now, so let's just assume that this person doesn't exist, so it's the only way." ”

I know that what Xiao Mao said is very reasonable, and it is true that it is the best choice to retreat immediately now, which can minimize the danger, but Xiao Mao understands me, and he knows that I will definitely not go. Since you don't leave, you can only ignore everything, otherwise the psychological burden you bring to yourself will crush people.

The two of us worked together to move the people aside, found a shallow pit and put it in, and buried it in the earth. While filling in the soil, I pondered at the same time, if this person is really Blind San'er's helper, then Lu Fangding's loss will be great, this time Blind San'er and the helper all died in Ta'er Lake, Lu Fangding can use not many people, maybe in the future, in terms of manpower, it will be even more stretched.

After filling in the pit, Xiaomao and I got something to eat as if nothing had happened. When you have eaten and drunk enough, you sit together and chat.

This method of ignoring everything seemed to work quite well, and until eleven o'clock, no accidents occurred. Xiao Mao had to continue to get into the water the next day, and he had to ensure sleep and physical strength, so I let him sleep in the car and walk around next to the car by himself.

The night by the lake was quiet, and there was no sound except for the occasional wind. I looked careless, but in fact I was on guard, and at about two o'clock in the morning, Xiao Mao got up for me. The two of us took turns keeping vigil and stayed up all night.

At about ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, the temperature rose, and Xiao Mao was launched from the shore as yesterday. He went up and down three times, and when he came to the surface again, he swam up to me and asked me for a rope.

"Found something?" I was so excited that I quickly fetched a coil of rope for him.

"Something, I'll talk about it when I get it up."

The two of us cooperated with each other and rowed a simple raft to the place where Xiaomao came out of the water just now. He went down with the rope and after a while came up again and asked me to pull the rope.

There must have been something tied to the rope, but with the buoyancy of the water, it was easy to pull up. As soon as the thing on the other end of the rope came out of the water, I couldn't bear it anymore, and my body was crooked, and I almost fell into the water.

The rope was tied to a chain that had almost rusted into lumps, one end of which was attached to a stone lock-like stone, and the other end was attached to a clay pot. The clay pot didn't weigh much, but the stone lock was estimated to weigh forty pounds, and after I pulled the stone lock up, I almost smashed a hole in the simple raft.

I pulled the little fur up again and rowed back to the shore. The chains were thick and rusted beyond recognition, but the stone locks and clay pots were well preserved.

The mouth of the clay pot is inlaid with an iron ring, which connects the jar to the iron chain. It may have been a long, long time since the sunken stone lock fell to the bottom of the lake.

The mouth of the jar is sealed very tightly, it is the kind of rare "one-piece seal", and the sealing cement has almost been burned and the jar has formed a whole. This kind of sealing means that the jar will not be opened for a short period of time.

This jar, our only discovery so far, must have caught my attention. The closure of this jar needs to be fired at a high temperature, so it is unlikely that the container will be loaded inside the jar. I discussed it with Xiao Mao, and it was still a safer way to smash the pottery pipe.

The jar shattered into several pieces, and when the jar was broken, the contents were revealed.

There was only a ten-centimeter-square sheet in the jar, the sheet was a metal object with a very light layer of green rust on it, and in my experience, it was a copper plate.

The copper plate is ten centimeters long and about four centimeters wide, and because it is sealed in a jar, it is not too oxidized, and in addition to the patina, there is a thin layer of dirt.

I can't tell the exact age of this copper plate now, but I have come into contact with many antiquities, and my experience and intuition tell me that this copper plate has a long history.

China's smelting technology appeared a long time ago, but when the smelting technology first appeared, because of the limitations of minerals, the value of gold and silver has not been fully highlighted, and China itself is a place where precious metals are relatively scarce, and the main ore at that time was copper ore.

For a long time, copper replaced gold, and there are many ancient historical records that give 500 gold, 300 gold, and that kind of reward is actually copper, not real gold.

Therefore, the copper plate in this clay pot may not be a precious metal now, but in that era, it may be more precious, especially in some areas where smelting is not developed, metal products have always been something that can only be used by nobles.

I carefully cleaned the copper plate, and the handwriting on the copper plate was immediately visible. As soon as the handwriting appeared, I was excited again, because the handwriting on this copper plate was the Zhangxiong sacrifice text.

I think it's very surprising that the place where Ta'er Lake is located is 108,000 miles away from the ancient Zhangxiong, but the sacrificial text belonging to Zhang-zhung appeared at the bottom of Ta'er Lake, what does this mean?

This shows that the ancient Xiangxiong people must have been active in Ta'er Lake.

I cleaned the front and back of the copper plate, and the handwriting was mostly clear. On the front of the copper plate, there are a total of 23 memorial texts, and on the back are five memorial texts with large fonts.

Of the twenty-three small sacrifices, I only know three, and I also know three of the five major sacrifices on the back. There is a character in the Great Sacrifice text, and if it is translated, it is the word "like".

Zhang-zhung's state religion is polytheism, and the core doctrine of the universe is to divide the universe into three parts, heaven, earth, and underground. The gods of heaven are the highest gods, and the gods of the heavens are called "zan".

When I saw the praise on the copper plate, I knew that this copper plate might have a very good history. The main purpose of the Zhangzhung festival is to worship the gods, and it is the most important means of communication between humans and gods. Most of the sacrificial texts are cast and carved on sacrificial vessels and ritual vessels, but not all kinds of sacrificial texts can be used casually on the sacrificial vessels. Only those with the highest status in the Zhangzhung State Religion who use the highest standard sacrificial vessels are eligible to leave the character "Zan" on the sacrificial vessels.

The five sacrificial texts on the copper plate probably mean that they were ordered by the gods.

I judged these five larger memorial texts, but the twenty-three smaller ones on the front of the bronze medal could not be deduced, and there were too many characters I didn't know, and I couldn't just guess casually.

However, since there are such clay pots and ordained bronze medals in Ta'er Lake, it is likely that there is something else.

"I'll go down and see if there's any clay pot like this." Xiao Mao found the clay pot by accident, the lake water was too turbid, if he hadn't knocked it and touched the clay pot, he might have missed it.

Xiao Mao rested for a while, and dived into the water again, I put away the bronze medal carefully, and felt very embarrassed in my heart, the Zhangxiong script has almost become a dead text now, and the Zhangxiong sacrifice text that was born from the Zhangxiong text was a text that some high priests could only grasp at that time, and now it is completely lost, and no one will know the Zhangxiong sacrifice text anymore. Only these bronze medals were found, but the sacrifice text on them could not be translated, and the bronze medals were a piece of scrap copper and rotten iron.

But now there is no way, I can only try my best to find such a bronze medal, and wait until I return to Huayang to slowly find a way.

Before I knew it, Xiao Mao had been in the water for fifteen minutes, and it was estimated that it was about to surface, so I waited with my eyes blank. But after waiting for another five minutes, I didn't see him come out, so I thought that Xiao Mao might want to look for him down there.

After waiting for another ten minutes, I began to feel uneasy, Xiao Mao was more cautious, even if he was in a hurry to find these clay pots, he could not stay down there all the time. Half an hour is the limit of the use of these old equipment, Xiao Mao knows in his heart, if he doesn't come up, either he has made a new discovery, or something has happened.

I walked around the shore, constantly reassuring myself that Xiaomao was smart and experienced, and there would be no accidents. But the more I comforted myself in this way, the worse it seemed to become, and after another ten minutes, I couldn't sit still at all.

But I can't help it, the vast water, only the last afterglow of the sunset, I can't see where Xiao Mao is now.

A whole hour has passed, whether I admit it or not, I have to face the facts, Xiao Mao must have had an accident.
