In the end, the four of us came out of the Ge family's old house with this safe on our shoulders.

On the way back, a few villagers saw it and thought that the four of us were little thieves who slipped the door and picked the lock, and two bold old men were going to come and arrest us.

Thanks to Sister Zheng's timely arrival and relief from the siege, if it weren't for her, we might not have been able to move this safe out of the village.

Because of carrying this bulky thing, we didn't toss on the way back, so I won't tell this story, it's all trivial and, and it's not interesting.

After returning to Guanghan, Jiang Yongguang took the safe away to study, and he told us that he would inform us as soon as there was news, so that we should not worry.

Uncle Mei and I didn't rush him this time and gave him enough time.

The safe cracks very quickly, and there is no technical content to do this, so I directly find a blasting tool, and it's over with a click.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Yongguang came over with Xiao Liang, and Uncle Mei and I were waiting at home, and when I saw them coming, I immediately went up to greet them, and Uncle Mei boiled a pot of hot tea and brought them to me.

Jiang Yongguang and Xiao Liang sat down around the coffee table, and the two of them went straight to the point without going around in circles.

Jiang Yongguang said: "The safe was opened last night, and the contents inside were exactly the same as Xiao Liang guessed. ”

I was surprised and asked, "Is there a treasure map?" ”

"Pretty much." Jiang Yongguang said, "But the contents are not treasure maps, but a notebook, tomb robbery notes." ”

At that time, Jiang Yongguang was word-for-word, and it was these four words - "Tomb Robbery Notes", so that a few years later, when this novel of the same name came out, I thought that Jiang Yongguang resigned and went home to write a novel.

If it weren't for the fact that the story in that novel didn't match Jiang Yongguang's experience at all, I would have thought that he wrote this book.

Straight to the point.

When I heard that the contents of this safe were a notebook, I hurriedly asked, "Tomb robbery notes?" What is written in this note? Could it be the diary of the old Ge family's tomb robbery? ”

Jiang Yongguang shook his head and said: "It's not a diary, but like an academic study, this note analyzes in detail the location of the ruins of the ancient Shu Dynasty, as well as the locations of some tomb pits." ”

When it comes to this kind of academic topic, Xiao Liang is more professional than Jiang Yongguang, and she immediately explained to us: "Based on my observations, the handwriting of two people appears in this note, so I guess this should be a joint research conducted by two generations, Ge Xueying and her mother." And the academic basis for this note is likely to be a clue handed down by the previous generation. ”

"How?" I asked.

Xiao Liang said: "This note repeatedly mentions the mausoleums marked in the 'old map', and this 'old map', I think, refers to the treasure map of the Ge family's ancestors, and the notes combine the marks in the old map with some natural phenomena such as plate movements, river diversions, and seismic activity in recent times, in an attempt to deduce a new map." ”

When I heard this, I almost understood, pinched my chin and said: "I understand, the Ge family should have an ancestral map, which marks the specific location of the ancient Shu tomb, but because of the river diversion and crustal movement for thousands of years, this map is no longer accurate, so the research done in this tomb robbery notebook is to draw a new map that is more accurate according to the old map." ”

"That's right, that's what it means." Xiao Liang nodded and said.

"So what tombs are recorded in this notebook? Tuojiang Ancient Shu Tomb, Yazihe Ancient Shu Tomb, as well as Ma Muhe's semi-Ming tomb, semi-ancient Shu tomb, are they all recorded in the tomb robbery notes? I asked.

"It's all in this notebook." Xiao Liang said with certainty, "So I am more sure of my previous guess." ”

When Uncle Mei heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Then look for it in the order of this notebook, won't you be able to find Ge Xueying?" Her next target must be the next ancient tomb recorded in this notebook, right? ”

However, at this time, Jiang Yongguang and Xiao Liang looked embarrassed, frowned, and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. ”

Uncle Mei and I were stunned and waited for them to explain.

Jiang Yongguang said: "The order of this note is a little different from what we thought, for example, the Tuojiang Ancient Shu Tomb appears in the middle and back part of the note, and the Yazihe Ancient Shu Tomb appears in the first half of the note, and as for Yao Guangxiao's position in the Magpie's Nest Ancient Shu Tomb, it was deduced at the beginning of the note." In other words, Ge Xueying does not seem to be in the tomb according to the position in this notebook. ”

This makes things difficult.

If Ge Xueying goes to the tomb in the order of the notes, then it is very simple, we just need to follow the map and go to the fourth ancient Shu tomb on the note to find her.

But she is completely irregularly wandering around the ancient Shu tomb, so how do we go about finding her?

Just when I was very entangled, Xiao Liang said: "But looking at the entire tomb robbery notes, I found that the Ge family is not as simple as looking for the ancient Shu tomb, they seem to have greater ambitions, and their goal does not seem to be one or two tombs." ”

"What?" I immediately became curious and asked, "And what is their goal?" ”

Xiao Liang said: "They should want to find a city, an ancient city, by locating these ancient Shu tombs. ”

"What city?" I asked again.

Xiao Liang said: "Qu Shang." ”

"Maggots...... What mourning? "I hadn't heard of the city at all.

Xiao Liang sneered after hearing this, laughing like a flower, she said: "What maggots are mourning, it is Qushang, a city in ancient legends, the city of the origin of the ancient Shu civilization, silkworm cong, Yujiao, Bai Guan, Du Yu and others all set up the imperial capital there, and the Shang king Wuyi was also enshrined here." ”

Speaking of which, she quoted the scriptures and recited an ancient passage to me: "Huayang National Chronicles" said: Zhou lost the discipline, and Shu was the king first. There is a silkworm bush of the Marquis of Shu, whose eyes are longitudinal, and he is called the king...... The second king said that the cypress irrigation, the second king said the fish, the field is in the Mao Mountain, suddenly get the fairy road, the Shu people think about it, and it is the ancestral hall. Later, there was Wang Du Yu, who taught the people to farm, and was the No. 1 Du master. Shi Zhu Ti has Liang's daughter, You Jiangyuan, Yu Yuezhi, and accepts him as a concubine. Move to Piyi, or Qushang. ”

I don't have any culture, I don't know classical Chinese, and I don't know the meaning of this ancient text, but Xiao Liang has already told me very clearly, "Qushang" is the imperial capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom, which is equivalent to Chang'an in the Western Han Dynasty and Luoyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

At this time, Jiang Yongguang added: "In fact, from the name Qushang, it can also be seen that this city is the imperial city of the ancient Shu Kingdom. And Shang represents the supreme position, Qu Shang, that is, the territory ruled by the people of Zongmu. ”

As soon as I heard this, my mind immediately recalled the bronze statues with two eyes protruding from the sockets I had seen in the ancient Shu tomb, and I couldn't help but chuckle in my heart!
