24. Secrets of the Zhongshan Kingdom
"Oops! Save... Help me! ”
Hao Jianguo screamed in fright, and unconsciously wanted to hide, but he tripped over the platform where the stone coffin was placed, and staggered to the ground.
"Teacher!"
It was only then that Yan Jun reacted, and a lunge rushed behind Xiao Sun, and grabbing his collar was an over-the-shoulder fall.
"Bang!"
Xiao Sun was originally tall and strong, but he was held down by Yan Jun with one hand, his knees on his back, and he couldn't get out, he only grabbed the ground with both hands in a hurry, and roared "woo woo" in his mouth!
"The Great Army..."
Yan Jun looked at Zhao Shenjun and saw that he had fallen into the arms of the soldiers, his hands covering his throat, he was already out of breath and intake in less, his body was spasmodic and convulsed, his eyes kept rolling white, and he couldn't live when he saw it.
"What the hell!"
Yan Jun's eyes were split, and he raised his hand and slapped it down, slapping Xiao Sun to death, and then went to pick up Zhao to join the army.
"Yan..."
Zhao Senjun grabbed his hand, his throat kept squirming, and word by word burst out of his mouth.
"Brother, bring. Big... Everyone... Walk! ”
Yan Jun had tears in his eyes and said in a dumb voice: "Dajun, don't worry, I will definitely do it!" ”
"Hmm..."
As soon as his voice fell, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Shenjun's mouth, and then his body struggled, and his hands slid down.
This iron-clad young warrior closed his eyes.
Yan Jun slowly put down his body, was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "Professor, comrades, we have reached a desperate situation right now, I hope we will work together to find a way out first." ”
"Otherwise... No matter how amazing this historical discovery may be, it will be buried here with us. ”
Hao Jianguo picked up his life, got up from the ground tremblingly, and said, "I... I agree with Xiao Yan. ”
Ye Yixin also stood up and said, "I also agree." ”
"We listen to Brother Yan's command." The three remaining fighters also took a stand.
At that moment, Yan Jun collected Zhao Shenjun's walkie-talkie, guns and ammunition.
Then let the two warriors guard the tomb passage, and he and another warrior tied up Xiao Sun to watch and guard the secret passage that had just appeared.
Professor Chen and Professor Hao were tasked with interpreting the contents of the murals inside the coffin.
As for Sha Lipeng and Ye Yixin, they were responsible for lighting everyone and looking at the queen's corpse by the way.
"How's it going, Professor? Any clues? ”
After a while, Professor Chen raised his head, his face full of incredulity, and it wasn't until Yan Jun asked a question that he explained to everyone in a trembling voice.
"The content of this painting is so unbelievable that I don't know if my interpretation is correct, so I can only say it, let's judge it together."
"Before the establishment of the Zhongshan Kingdom, there were a total of three Di tribes in the north, and they inadvertently excavated an artifact and an underground beast, which brought terrifying disasters to the tribe."
"Later, a female clansman accidentally touched the artifact, and she gave birth to divine powers, able to create things out of thin air, and control the behavior of the beast, and was worshiped as a god by the clansmen, which can also be understood as the first generation of witches."
"From then on, the witches used the beast as a totem and ruled the tribe with divine power over the people."
"Some of the tribesmen could not bear the oppression, so they left the land and established a new tribe, that is, the Zhongshan Kingdom."
"The dynasty of Zhongshan Kingdom has changed, and the witches of the tribe are constantly changing, and finally, the witch of the previous generation of this queen had a whim, she used her divine power and the power of the artifact to create out of thin air..."
Speaking of this, Professor Chen paused, as if he felt that he should not say the next words.
"Teacher, I'll talk about the rest."
Hao Jianguo took over the conversation and continued: "According to the painting, this queen, that is, the legendary witch, is actually not a human at all! ”
"She and that dog god beast were both created by the previous generation of witches with divine power!"
"Huh!?"
Hao Jianguo's words calmed everyone.
Yan Jun's heart shook wildly when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Teacher, what is that artifact?" ”
Seeing that he glanced at the metal branch next to the queen's corpse, Hao Jianguo nodded.
"That's right, it's the scepter."
He went on to say, "Before each generation of witches die, a new successor is appointed, and if they can take up the scepter, they will be endowed with divine powers. ”
"Until the last queen, she is an elf born in divine power, and she can also be said to be the child of the artifact, her ability is unprecedentedly strong, and she can do many incredible things, such as helping King Zhongshan to defeat a strong enemy and successfully restore the country."
"But because of this, her soul is not perfect, and in the increasingly frequent wars of King Nakayama Katsu, she and the dog god finally had problems, which directly led to the destruction of the Zhongshan Kingdom."
"The most incomprehensible thing is that these last two paintings say that the queen is not actually dead, but sleeping, and that she fell ill only because she created another artifact, and after a long time, the queen was able to use the power of the two artifacts to obtain... Rebirth! ”
"Oh yes, another artifact should be hidden in the secret room over there."
Speaking of this, Hao Jianguo lowered his head, obviously the content of the painting had been finished.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they are all staring at each other, but no one speaks.
Yan Jun looked at the time, more than two hours had passed, and he didn't know what was going on outside, so he said, "There is no other way, we can only explore that secret room first, find another artifact, and then take them to try." ”
Everyone agreed, but at Professor Chen's insistence, the queen's coffin was carried back to its original position first, and then they entered the secret passage.
There are no mechanisms in this secret passage, and it leads directly to a small dark room.
The dark room was empty, except for a stone case in the middle with a huge blue-gray tortoiseshell on it.
Professor Chan immediately recognized that the tortoise shell was a legendary alien dragon bone, which had been excavated in many large tombs.
He should be able to understand the content above, but he didn't explain it to everyone, just warned everyone not to touch the tortoise shell, and even Ye Yixin wanted to take pictures but he stopped him.
"He's it, what about the artifact?"
Yan Jun knew that it was something related to the change of regime, and he was not too interested, but there was nothing here except the tortoise shell, could it be that it was an artifact?
Just as I was in doubt, my eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out that Sha Lipeng lit a mining lamp, and then pointed to the corner and shouted excitedly: "Look, there are stairs there!" ”
Everyone looked at it together, and saw that there was a black hole on the ground, and a stone staircase extended downward, and if you didn't look closely, it was really hard to find.
At that moment, Yan Jun took the lead and went down to the second floor of the secret room, but as the light of the wolf's eyes shone down, he was suddenly shocked in his heart.
"Bronze Divine Tree!"
I saw that the space on the second floor of this secret room was very wide, more than ten times larger than the first layer, and in the same position as the foreign keel, there was a metal tree seven or eight meters high with a dark blue body!
As soon as he saw this thing, Yan Jun had another dinging sound in his mind!
"Ding! Now release the quest, please touch the fake bronze god tree with your own hands, and complete the rewards: strength +1, physique +1! ”
"This can definitely be had!"
Descending the stone steps, Yan Jun couldn't wait to step forward, ignoring Professor Chen's drinking, and directly raised his hand and pressed it on the trunk.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, touch the fake bronze god tree with your own hands, reward: strength +1, physique +1! ”
"Damn, it's so cool."
Having easily received a reward, Yan Jun couldn't help but feel like he was dreaming.
"Xiao Yan! This is an artifact created by the queen in the picture, how can you touch it casually? Get out of the way. ”
Professor Chen accused Yan Jun a few words, then looked up at the ancient bronze tree and muttered, "It's spectacular, this is simply a real miracle!" ”
"Last year, in a tomb group in Sichuan, several ancient bronze trees were also excavated, but the size is far worse than this one, if it really has some kind of magical power, it is definitely this century, no, the greatest discovery in the history of archaeology!"
