Chapter 42: The Ancient Stone Plate

Looking at the expressions of these two people, Xiang Yuan already knew that this thing was handed over to the auction house by them, and the delay for so long was enough to scare the two of them, once they auctioned their own things, then they would have to hand over 30% of the handling fee for nothing, and this price was definitely not something they could afford.

In the end, Xiang Yuan auctioned the scroll with 270 million crystal coins, and everyone on the field applauded and congratulated.

At this time, a very beautiful lady of manners, wearing white silk mesh gloves in her hand and holding a tray with the scroll on it, walked up to Xiang Yuan, bowed and smiled: "Sir, this is the item you photographed, what kind of payment do you need." ”

Xiang Yuan took out the crystal card that his father gave him, there were 900 million crystal coins in it, and 100 million had been taken away by Xiang Zhen to buy various equipment.

After the transaction was completed, Xiang Yuan picked up this scroll and opened it in front of the fat dog, the scroll did not have much content, it was completely different from the previous two volumes, half of this was text, half of it was a picture-like symbol.

After glancing at it and memorizing all the contents, he withdrew the scroll, and although the fat dog saw a little bit, he only saw a corner in his peripheral vision. He asked in a low voice, "Dude, don't you see any doorways." ”

Xiang Yuan said with a smile: "Just one lower volume can see what doorway, then what else do you need for the upper volume and the middle volume." ”

"Haha, that's right, it looks like you have clues to the upper and middle volumes, buddy."

"There is a little, but in this troubled world, it is not easy to go to those deep mountains and old forests, where all kinds of mutated monsters are fiercer than any trap trap."

"Yes, if you want to go, I can introduce you to the guards and ensure that you are satisfied, those people are the best of the masters."

"Besides, I don't have a clue yet. The third piece began. After Xiang Yuan finished speaking, he didn't mention it more.

There was no one bidding on the first floor of the third stone plate, all of them were people on the second floor, and after several rounds of competition, they were finally auctioned by Shenyin and Yan Huang at a price of 810 million.

When the auction ended, everyone got up and left. The fat dog deliberately gave Xiang Yuan a number and said: "Dude, it is fate to want to meet, if you need anything in the future, just look for me, I promise that you will not be disappointed." ”

Watching the fat dog leave in a hurry. Xiang Yuan smiled, and roughly guessed that this guy wanted to inquire about his origins.

Just as he was about to leave, a waiter came over and bowed and said, "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Ouyang on the second floor, please go up and talk about it." ”

Xiang Yuan looked at the second floor. Seeing Ouyang Ping, he stood on the guardrail and smiled at him and nodded.

"Lead the way."

Coming to the private room on the second floor, the decoration here is completely different from the downstairs, there is no magnificence here, just simple and elegant. There will be two beautiful women dressed in classical clothes in every private room, and there are two security guards at the door, Xiang Yuan saw that this security guard couldn't even see their strength, and he didn't even have any information, just like looking at a tool.

It made him wonder what the guards and waiters were here, and he could now perceive living creatures. and the breath of the necromancy, which was taught to him by Xuanyin, but he couldn't feel the breath of these waiters, which made him wonder what the origin of the owner of this Mixed Yuan Pavilion was.

After entering this private room, Ouyang Ping smiled and said, "Young Master Xiang, I didn't expect to meet you here, I was about to go to you and Master Xiang." ”

"Mr. Ouyang, but for this stone plate?"

"Yes, you may not know it, but this stone plate was obtained in the early days of liberation, but then suddenly disappeared for some reason. At that time, there was a record of this stone plate in the National Archives Administration, but at that time, it was not as advanced as it is now, and nothing could be detected. It was later reappeared in Hong Kong in 2006, and that appearance shook the archaeological community. Because it was determined to be billions of years old, and because the words and patterns used were somewhat similar to oracle bone inscriptions, this discovery instantly shattered all conclusions about human history.

For this reason, the state also intervened in the auction in Hong Kong, so this stone plate was taken away by the state, and after the study of many experts, it was found from the text on it. Billions of years ago, there was a very developed civilization in human beings, and this information shook the leaders of the country, and later it was sealed because it involved international issues. After that, this thing never came out again, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, the place where the stone plate was kept fell, and no one cared about these things, everyone worked hard to survive, and when we got a foothold here, this stone plate had been taken away, and then there was today's auction. ”

"Mr. Ouyang, tell me something directly, with Mr. Ouyang's ability, he should be able to discover the secrets on the stone plate."

"Don't flatter me, it's because I can't see the true secret of the stone plate that I came to you and Xiang Ye." Ouyang Ping said and led Xiang Yuan to a room separated by beaded curtains in the private room, where two people were sitting.

Ouyang Ping introduced: "This is called Uncle Zhu Jiu, an expert who specializes in ancient civilizations, and this is the top master of Huan Shao, Yanhuang Base, and the escort we invited. ”

After Xiang Yuan and them saluted, the four of them sat down, and Ouyang said straightforwardly: "Everyone doesn't have to be polite, and there is no need to talk about etiquette, just when we are all a group of tomb robbers." ”

Uncle Zhu Jiu snorted and said, "If you dare to say this before, you will definitely be arrested by Old Man Ouyang and locked up in the small black house." ”

Ouyang Ping smiled and said, "It's okay to do anything now anyway, Uncle Nine, you can introduce me." ”

"Well, I have translated all the words on this stone plate, which is to tell the story of an inventor of an ancient civilization who created a great invention, and then because the human beings at that time were afraid of his invention and wanted to destroy him, he buried his achievements, and this stone plate is actually the key to the burial place. Unfortunately, we don't know where he will be buried, and after so many years, this place may have changed long ago due to the movement of the earth's tectonic plates. ”

Huan Shao said: "Will we still be busy in the end, after all, so many years have passed." ”

Xiang Yuan said: "There must still be there, the technological level of the ancient civilization Mr. Ouyang has already seen it, I don't think they will consider the tectonic plate movement of the earth, so these places are at most moved, but they must still be well preserved, and they can even be said to be brand new." ”

Ouyang Ping nodded and said, "Yes, after seeing the Seagod Palace, I understand that the technology of the ancient civilization is far beyond our imagination. Xiang Ye has been engaged in this business for decades, specializing in excavating the remains of ancient civilizations, I don't know if Xiang Ye has this information? ”

Xiang Yuan understood after looking at the stone plate that this thing was indeed a key, at least on the surface, but he guessed that if it was just a key, it would definitely not be so big, and it was completely unnecessary, so there must be something else in the stone plate.

"This is also the first time I have heard of this, if my old man knew about this, he would have looked for it a long time ago, so he must not know, but I think there must be a clue to the buried treasure house in this stone plate." Xiang Yuan said.

Uncle Zhu Jiu nodded and said, "Did the young master see anything?" ”

Xiang Yuan looked at the basin-sized stone plate carefully, touched the lines on the stone plate with his fingers, and found that there were eight positions around the stone plate and a square was vacant in each of the eight positions, and suddenly there was an object on the skeleton throne behind the ghost king in the corpse mountain cave in his mind, which was completely consistent with the pattern of this stone plate.

If it were someone else, it would just feel familiar, but Xiang Yuan would completely remember it after taking a look, including the texture on it.

He said with a happy face: "These eight notches are the key to opening the stone plate, I went down to the Taoist ruins of a thousand years ago some time ago, and I saw a kind of square there that just matched this one, including the symbol on it. ”

Ouyang Ping was pleasantly surprised: "Really, where is that place?" ”

Xiang Yuan sighed: "Corpse Mountain, you should have heard of it, but there are sixteen Yin Gods and one Ghost King there, and it may not be enough to get our current strength." ”

Uncle Zhu Jiu was surprised: "Good boy, you really found the corpse mountain, but this ghost king is really troublesome." ”

Huan Shao said in surprise: "Uncle Jiu, there are really ghosts in the world!" ”

"Of course, I've encountered it a few times in my life, but ordinary ghosts can still be dealt with charms and magic weapons, but this Yin God and the Ghost King are different, even some Taoist priests with profound cultivation dare not deal with the Ghost King." Uncle Zhu Jiu sighed.

"We're evolutionaries now, are we still afraid of ghosts?" Huan Shao asked.

"What do you kid know, ghosts are invisible, using yin qi and illusion as a means of attack, even if we ordinary people can lift mountains with strength, it is useless, fighting ghosts does not rely on strength and martial arts." Uncle Zhu Jiu said.

Ouyang Ping asked, "Young Master Xiang, how did you escape from the Ghost King in the first place?" ”

"There is a seven-star demon subduing array laid by a Taoist priest thousands of years ago on the mountain, I used this to activate the formation to seal this ghost king and the sixteen yin gods, but I can see that these formations can only be trapped for a short time, thousands of years have passed, these formation runes have been very weak, plus many places have been artificially destroyed, maybe now he has broken through the formation." Xiang Yuan said.

Uncle Zhu Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that I am going to invite some old guys out of the mountain, those who have been Taoist priests all their lives, it's time for them to come out and move the meridian bones, but you still have to be prepared in your heart, the ghost king and the yin god are different from ordinary ghosts, even the ghosts are far inferior to them, so you must be completely prepared." ”

After he finished speaking, he got up to leave, Ouyang Ping looked at the stone plate and said, "Young Master Xiang, it's good for you to stay in the capital during this time, I want to invite you to find the secret of this stone plate together." ”

"I have to discuss this with my father first, after all, we have our own plans, and if there is no conflict, of course I am willing to discover the secrets of this ancient civilization." Xiang Yuan said.

"Okay, here's my contact number, contact me if you have any news, I'm going to get ready now."

After Ouyang Ping finished speaking, he and Huan Shao left together, and the people in the room also left with them. (To be continued.) )
