Chapter 412: Treasure Map

Seeing Instructor Liu's cautious and cautious appearance, Chen Ziyang almost didn't laugh out loud. Even if this sheepskin is a treasure map of the treasures of the ancient country, he doesn't have to offer the sheepskin like an ancestor, Chen Ziyang really doesn't understand these people who regard wealth as their lives, they don't know how to be satisfied, such people will not feel true happiness in this life.

Ignoring the smile on the corner of Chen Ziyang's mouth, after Instructor Liu handed the rolled sheepskin to Chen Ziyang's hand, he took out a black notebook from the pocket of his jacket, and then Instructor Liu tore off a page in this notebook and handed it to Chen Ziyang along with the diamond that had turned blood-colored.

"This parchment records the method of finding the treasure of this ancient country, but I know that you can't understand the words written on it at all, what is written on this piece of paper is the translation of the ancient text on the parchment, you can take it back and study it carefully."

Chen Ziyang didn't expect that this Instructor Liu would hand over such an important thing to him like this, and he even allowed himself to take the sheepskin and the translated content out of Instructor Liu's own carriage.

As if seeing the doubt in Chen Ziyang's heart, Instructor Liu continued: "There are only ten days left, and you only have five days at most to set aside a few days for excavation." During these five days, I hope that you will be able to find the exact location of this ancient treasure, and only by finding the location of the treasure will you be able to live a few more days and be able to hold out until your friends come to save you.

Ten days later, the moment the key is closed, if this ancient kingdom has not been excavated, it will be your time of death. I don't need to say anything superfluous, you are a smart person, and now your life is indeed tightly tied to the treasure of this ancient country, hurry up and go back and seize the time to crack the secret.

By the way, there is another thing I don't know if it will help you, this sheepskin was found in the previous ancient tomb, and I am very sure that the location of the ancient ruins is near here, and if there is a deviation, it will not be too far, and there is only so much I know. After saying these words, Instructor Liu waved his hand at Chen Ziyang and motioned for him to go out. Then Instructor Liu turned his back and closed the safe that had been opened.

Chen Ziyang didn't want to be alone with Instructor Liu for too long, so he took these two things and turned around and left, returning to his and Yang Lei's carriage.

"Sometimes I really can't understand what this kid does, and he just gave you such an important thing? I thought he was going to lock you up and let you study it alone and not let anyone else know. Yang Lei didn't expect Chen Ziyang to come to these two things so easily, and said to Chen Ziyang very puzzled while looking at the sheepskin spread on the ground of the carriage.

"Actually, this is also very understandable, the reason why he did this is because time is running out, as long as the time to turn off the key is up, these things, no matter how precious, will become a waste sheepskin and a waste paper, and these two things cannot be left for two hundred years later, as a legacy to his descendants."

Feeling that what Chen Ziyang said was very reasonable, Yang Lei nodded, then picked up the flashlight in his hand and helped Chen Ziyang shine on the sheepskin. The light in the carriage was not sufficient, and it was only with the help of a flashlight that the contents of the parchment could be read clearly.

Chen Ziyang found that this sheepskin was relatively well preserved, but after all, it was very old, and a lot of wool on the back side of the sheepskin had fallen off, and only a few handfuls of wool remained on the sheepskin. The whole sheepskin was yellowed, and there were some patterns painted on the smooth side of the sheepskin, and some words were neatly written on it that he had never seen before.

The text looks somewhat like hieroglyphs, with lots and lots of symbols in them. Just as Instructor Liu said, Chen Ziyang didn't know any of these words. However, what attracts Chen Ziyang the most about the whole pattern is the largest pattern on the sheepskin, which can also be said to be the background of these words.

A large red eye covered almost the entire sheepskin. The lines drawn by this eye are very simple, but the outline is very clear, so that people can know at a glance that it is an eye. As soon as he saw this red eye, Chen Ziyang thought of the blood-red eye he saw in his dream after those black qi drilled into his body in the tomb before.

The eyes painted on the sheepskin were exactly the same as the ones he had seen in his dreams, and the pupils of the eyes were not round, but had some edges and corners, and it looked like the blood-colored diamond.

Although the red paint that outlined the eyes had fallen off a lot because of the age, and the whole eye looked a little blurry and very unclear, but even so, Chen Ziyang still felt a domineering aura from this eye from these lines, as if there was a high king staring at him.

The eye pattern is covered with those strange hieroglyphs, and around the eyes, there are some strange patterns drawn. Because these patterns are painted on the edges of the sheepskin, the colors fall off even more, and even some of the patterns are no longer visible.

In order to be able to see these patterns more clearly, Yang Lei thought of a way, he asked Chen Ziyang to hold the sheepskin in the air with one hand, and he used a flashlight to illuminate the sheepskin from the other side of the sheepskin, and the flashlight passed through the sheepskin, making these patterns on the sheepskin look clearer.

Most of the patterns around the sheepskin are scenes, and the style of all these patterns is basically the same as that of the red eye, the lines are very simple, but the meaning is very clear. Among these patterns are woods, mountains, canyons, and a pattern that looks like a town.

But Chen Ziyang couldn't understand what these patterns meant, and the only one he could see was the one in the upper right corner of the sheepskin, which looked a bit like the Chinese character for "several".

As soon as he saw the shape of this figure, Chen Ziyang thought of the map projected by the diamond that had deduced the location of the treasure before, and it seemed that this figure should also represent the Yellow River. Only this time, there are no red or yellow dots around the figure.

Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei stared at the sheepskin for several hours, but in the end, the two of them helplessly found that except for the hieroglyphs written on the sheepskin, other things did not help the two of them at all. So Chen Ziyang had no choice but to turn his attention to the piece of paper that Instructor Liu gave him.

"The source of life, the creation of infinite vitality,

The Scarlet Eye, a record of the mysteries of ancient history.

The country of greenery, buried in the bottom of the yellow sand valley,

The blood of a saint, the key to unlocking the treasure.

A clear spring is like water, guiding the way forward,

The stars open in the east, and the moon is thousands of miles to the west.

A line of propion, the sword points to the sky,

The covenant of the top three, everything is restarted. ”

Chen Ziyang once heard Lao Lu mention that the real name of this diamond seems to be called the source of life. But why a diamond has such a strange name, Chen Ziyang can't understand.

What does the Scarlet Eye mean? Is it the red eye, or is it another name for the diamond? Why is a diamond given two very different names, one looks suave and the other is a little bloody and violent.

While reading the words on the paper repeatedly, Chen Ziyang carefully pondered the meaning of these words. As his thoughts deepened, the words that came out of his mouth became slower and slower, and then he stopped completely, and Chen Ziyang fell into deep thought.

"Who translated this? This kid is quite talented, and the translation even rhymes like this. If we don't rob the tomb with a good tomb, how can we become treasure hunters now? Yang Lei has never paid attention to these things, whenever he is with Chen Ziyang, as long as it is about using his brain, it will belong to Chen Ziyang alone.

"Leizi, don't you think there's something wrong with this matter?" After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Ziyang held back this sentence to Yang Lei.

"Something is wrong? Since the incident of the Reed River, which of the things we have experienced is right? In order to deal with the mother-in-law, I took off my pants, in order to record the key to the ancient country of the Bohai Sea, I dedicated my buttocks, and I also kissed the hundred-year-old female zombie, and you still told me right? ”

Although Chen Ziyang didn't like the fact that Yang Lei didn't have anything to do at any time and place, but at this moment, in this dim carriage, Yang Lei's words actually added a touch of vitality to this place, and reduced the dull atmosphere a lot.

After frowning and sighing, Chen Ziyang said: "Look at this mantra, although there are many words that we don't understand what it means, but it can be generally seen that the things recorded on this sheepskin are about finding the treasure of this ancient country, so have you ever wondered where this sheepskin came from?" ”

Hearing Chen Ziyang say this, Yang Lei also thought for a while, and then he understood what Chen Ziyang meant. "Why would anyone record this? The person who recorded this diamond and the entire treasure of the ancient kingdom should know this place very well, if that is the case, why didn't he open this treasure? Didn't it take so much effort to hide the whole thing in cryptic language, and to hide the diamonds and sheepskins in a tomb? ”

Nodding, Chen Ziyang said: "This matter is too unreasonable, let's not talk about the magic of this gem, just what you said, I think it is very incredible." The gem and the sheepskin were hidden thousands of kilometers away in a tomb, and who was buried in that tomb? What kind of relationship does he have with this so-called ancient country?

Also, have you ever thought that the map on which the diamond was projected on the wall at that time only had three things on the map, two points representing the location, and a line that seemed to be the Yellow River? No matter how magical this diamond is, it can't be used as a GPS, and it can't always know where it is.

In other words, the map on this diamond has been carved a long time ago, one dot represents the tomb where the diamond is buried, and the other dot represents the location of this ancient country. And this diamond is the key to the opening of the treasure of this ancient country.

Let's assume now that the people who built this ancient kingdom and the tomb are the same people, which is very likely, otherwise it would be impossible for such a secret thing to be recorded. And according to common sense, the tomb should have been built later than the existence of this ancient country.

In that case, they have the ability to build such a large tomb, so why don't they have the ability to open this treasure themselves? I can't figure out why I have to record these secrets and keep them in the tombs. ”

"Do you think it has something to do with time? Didn't Instructor Liu say that the key to this treasure can only be opened once every two hundred years, could it be that the people who built the mausoleum happened to be in the gap period of these two hundred years, so they had no way to open the treasure of this ancient country at all. ”

Seeing that Yang Lei thought of this, Chen Ziyang cast an appreciative look at him. Unexpectedly, in addition to Yang Lei, this kid can not only show off his mouth, but this time his brain turned so fast.

"I thought about this just now, but you think that the scale of the tomb we saw before is so large, even now, if you want to build such a large tomb, it will not be able to be completed in more than ten years. The overall construction capacity, level and tools of the era when the tomb was built should have been much more backward than it is now.

At that time, it was impossible to build a tomb of this size without forty or fifty years, and if these people could spend forty or fifty years to build a tomb, would they have to wait a few more decades?

Even if they were lucky, they couldn't wait until the next key was opened to start building the tomb, and the next key would be opened. But why did they put these two things in the tomb? Isn't it good to leave it to your children and grandchildren? It is undoubtedly the safest way to let their descendants hold it in their hands and wait until the time is right to open this treasure.

These things will probably never be seen in the world again. And if it is not stored well, it can be easily damaged. In particular, this sheepskin can easily rot if it encounters relatively humid air, and it can easily be damaged if it encounters some moths and other creatures. ”

"As soon as you say that, I also feel that something is wrong, it doesn't make sense, if I get these two things but can't open them, I will definitely save these two things, and I won't just find a place to dig a pit and bury it for someone who is destined, you are right, this is really wrong."

"I have a very strange feeling that the person who left this sheepskin and this diamond does not seem to want a descendant to open this treasure."
