Chapter 587: Is the Mechanism of Three Thousand Years Ago Still Working?

In the early morning, the group carried their bags and walked through the slightly sparse jungle.

Sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves on the grass, and occasionally mosquitoes flying in the air can be seen passing through the sunlight. The sunlight refracted on the wings, flashing a colorful light.

Donpotter, who was the leader, was extremely familiar with the place, and although there was no road in the jungle, he was able to find the right direction through the trees and streams.

Finally, Tang Potter stopped, looked around, and then looked at his feet, with a happy expression on his face, and then said to Zhu Yu who came behind him:

"Boss, the place where I found this pair of jade pieces is there, that clearing by the stream."

Zhu Yu opened the eye of heaven and found that there were really some relics underground.

It's not an ancient tomb, it's like a sacrificial pit.

It was damp here, and the pit more than two meters above the ground was already full of water, and the jade and gold objects buried in the pit were soaked in water, and some of the jade was already covered with mud and was bad.

This pit is not big, only two meters square, but there are dozens of utensils stacked on top of each other.

Most of these artifacts are gold and jade, as well as a few bone objects.

No other metalware was to be seen.

That's a big deal.

Zhu Yu said to Tang Potter:

"Then you can go back. We'll be here for a few days and maybe find something else. ”

Don Potter said happily;

"Okay, then I'll go. My wife is still waiting for me to go to the city together. ”

It was only five or six kilometers from the town, and Donpotter soon disappeared into the jungle. Obviously, his mood was relaxed and urgent.

"Boss, will there be any ...... here" Ran Jie leaned over and asked, "Unclean things?" How does this Don Potter run like a rabbit? ”

Zhu Yu shook his head, he didn't know this.

Leng Rubing, who had not spoken all this time, opened his mouth:

"It's hard to say what is not clean, but there is a legend of a curse."

"Cursed Legends?" Zhu Yu and Ran Jie, as well as the action team members who came with them, all wondered, "What is that?" ”

"It is said that this was once the place where the Indians lived." Leng Rubing obviously consulted a lot of information, so he talked eloquently:

"It was only then that the Europeans came, and the Portuguese established colonies here, and massacred a large number of Indians, especially when they found that the Indian tribes had a large amount of gold, so one Indian tribe after another was wiped out...... Finally, the Indians also left a curse here......"

"It's a curse!" Ran Jie exclaimed.

"Yes." Leng Rubing sighed and said, "It is said that it was left by the sorcerer of the Indians at that time, and he cursed those enemies who invaded here to die of plague, fire, flood, etc. ”

"I'm afraid it's just a legend." Ran Jie didn't believe it.

"A few decades ago, several groups of adventurers came here in search of the legendary treasures, and it is recorded that they did find some of the things left behind by the Indians, but then they all died in the forest.

Later, the locals said that it was a curse of the Indians. Because these curses don't seem to have any effect on the natives. Like Donpotter, you won't have a problem picking up something ancient in the jungle. ”

"That's against us?" Ran Jie was unhappy all of a sudden, "Is there something wrong with this Tang Potter?" ”

"It can't be said that it is all of them. For at least a few decades, no outsiders have come here. Local young people probably don't know these things anymore. Besides, you can't believe this curse, can you? I don't believe it! ”

Zhu Yu was a little surprised. This Leng Rubing is the most afraid of death, but at this time he doesn't believe in this curse.

It's kind of interesting!

"In fact, by studying the records left by those people, we know that these treasure hunters are most likely killed by the mechanism in the tomb. These people wanted to be the protagonists of Raiders of the Lost Ark, but they didn't expect to end up as cannon fodder. ”

Leng Rubing told the truth that she was not afraid of, and of course, there was still a little bit she hadn't said.

Leng Rubing was in the chrysanthemum organ, not only studied the experience of those treasure hunters here, but also studied Zhu Yu's treasure hunting experience.

Although Zhu Yu made his fortune at the beginning, it was not a treasure hunt, but opening a container itself was similar to the nature of treasure hunting.

Next, he left the business of opening containers and became a treasure hunter, and the treasure hunt he participated in was not only efficient and short-lived, but also had a very important mark: it was the core member, and there was no death!

This is also the main reason why she dared to come out with Zhu Yu and them!

Judging from the information currently public, basically every time Zhu Yu hunts for treasure, he has a harvest, and the harvest is not small. Zhu Yu has also changed from a down-and-out young man to one of the top richest people in the world treasure hunting world because of the harvest of these treasure hunts.

And now Zhu Yu has expanded from the treasure hunting industry and began to enter the industry.

Whether it's the coal mines of Afghanistan, the oil of the Middle East, or the grain here, everything is massive. Any one of them can create another billionaire!

But except for the coal mine, other things were originally obtained from the chrysanthemum organization.

And the chrysanthemum organization is also famous in the industry, but Zhu Yu and a few people made the "family ruined", not only the industry was robbed, the head was slaughtered, but also powerless to take revenge!

Every planned revenge finally turns into a counterattack from the other party!

Turning back to it, Leng Rubing is actually very curious about how Zhu Yu hunts for treasure. This time, I took the initiative to invite Ying over, and I also wanted to see it.

Although the information of Zhu Yu's treasure hunt has not been announced on the surface, judging from the fact that after his treasure hunt is over, he contacts those brokers to sell things, and the harvest of each treasure hunt is not small!

Later, it was basically difficult for Zhu Yu to find information in the process of treasure hunting, but Leng Rubing believed that Zhu Yu must still have treasure hunting later, but it just became more secret.

Because there is a high probability that after Zhu Yu finds the treasure, there is no need to sell it anymore. After all, he is not short of money now.

So without this channel, it will naturally be difficult for the outside world to find the information of Zhu Yu's treasure hunt.

"I guess it's likely that this so-called curse is mainly due to local epidemics, infectious diseases, and poisonous insects in the jungle."

Leng Rubing finally came to a conclusion:

"After all, every year in the Amazon region, there are many people who die due to water and soil adaptation or poisonous insect bites."

Zhu Yu nodded slowly. Nor did he believe that the curses left by the ancients two or three thousand years ago could affect the present day, even though he himself was the beneficiary of such things. The energy left over hundreds of thousands of years ago has changed his life dramatically.

Opening the Eye of Heaven, within a few tens of meters around the sacrificial pit that Zhu Yu searched underground, there were no other related valuables, only some charcoal pits and traces left over from the foundation of the former building.

"Let's dig in this area for the time being and see what we can find." Zhu Yu clapped, everyone unpacked their bags and set up tents nearby.

Zhu Yu took out the folded Luoyang shovel from his backpack, picked it up one by one, and then began to pretend to probe down nearby.

"The equipment is very professional!" Leng Rubing followed, smiling and commenting half-truthfully.

"Actually, metal detectors are more professional, but I'm not used to using them." Zhu Yu replied while inserting the Luoyang shovel down.

"Look, there's something wrong with the soil!" Leng Rubing didn't bring any tools, so he squatted down and carefully observed the bottom soil brought out by Zhu Yu with the Luoyang shovel, pulled it twice, and suddenly shouted.

The soil raised by this shovel is clearly divided into two layers.

One layer is the humus that is common in the primeval jungle.

The lower layer is the kind of loess that has been burned.

Zhu Yu was secretly a little surprised, this one was as cold as ice, and there was really something under his hands! This is a good eyesight!

The location I am exploring now is less than a meter next to the sacrificial pit.

She didn't study archaeology, but she could tell it at a glance.

It seems that I either have this special hobby, studied it carefully, or have done something similar before.

Leng Rubing's shout attracted Ran Jie and the other team members.

"There's a situation down there, that's right." Ran Jie has been with Zhu Yu for two years, and he has given a definite conclusion at a glance.

"Dig down." Zhu Yu said, "There should be a harvest here." ”

This sacrificial pit was about two or three meters above the ground, and Zhu Yu was now a little suspicious of where Donbert's Yugui came from?

After all, even if it is washed by heavy rain, it is impossible to wash out something two or three meters underground.

He guessed that there should be a similar sacrificial pit nearby, perhaps close to the water, or washed out on the side of the mountain, scattered around, before being hit by Tang Potter.

Ran Jie and the action team immediately dug in the circle demarcated by Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu took the Luoyang shovel and went to other places, wanting to see if he could have some other gains.

To Zhu Yu's surprise, Leng Rubing did not follow him, but obediently stayed around Ran Jie and them to help.

After expanding the search area, Zhu Yu soon found a golden armband washed in the mud and sand by a stream near a stream about fifty meters away from the priest's pit.

This gold armband has a slightly intricate pattern and two serpentine decorations twisted together.

Because of the erosion of sediment and the erosion of time for a long time, the armbands have been screwed together and some are damaged.

With the help of the Luoyang shovel, Zhu Yu took out the armband in the mud and sand half a meter below.

He took a cloth bag out of the space and placed the armband inside.

Continuing to search along the river, Zhu Yu soon found another jade figurine.

Within a radius of two hundred meters, Zhu Yu found seven things, four of which were jade and three were gold.

He also found golden sand grains in a certain section of the stream. This indicates that there may be a gold mine somewhere upstream and downstream of this stream, which is why there are a large number of gold artifacts in the sacrificial pit.

Walking back to the location where Ran Jie and they started the construction with the bag, Zhu Yu found that the big pit they dug had begun to seep water, and there was still a lot of water.

"Boss, it's not easy to dig down here." Ran Jie saw Zhu Yu coming over and said, "The water is seeping too fast, I suspect that there may be a spring or an aquifer below." ”

Zhu Yu opened the Tianyan and looked at it, and sure enough, he found that there was indeed a spring underneath, which slowly seeped over.

"Dig through here." Zhu Yu observed the surrounding position again, and pointed to another point, "Dig down from here." ”

"Do you need to get a pumping machine from our base?" One of the team members proposed, "Bring in another generator and you can drain the water out of here." ”

"Dig and dig first." Zhu Yu said, "If you can't dig up anything at this point, then go back and transfer the pump." ”

If the things below are based on the value of the real thing, there is actually "nothing" much money (based on Zhu Yu's current net worth, it will be tens of millions of dollars).

But when it comes to cultural relics from ancient times, the value of cultural relics is very high.

In particular, some of the jade and gold artifacts were engraved with some déjà vu marks, which made Zhu Yu eager to get these things out and find someone to study them.

Leng Rubing looked at Ran Jie with an inquiring gaze, and they dug down according to the position indicated by Zhu Yu.

Could it be that this Zhu Yu really understands feng shui and looks at the terrain as the outside world says?

Otherwise, how could he be so sure of the location of the excavation in another place?

If something is really dug up from this place, then Leng Rubing can be sure that this Zhu Yu really has some treasure hunters who have analyzed it and others don't know about it!

At the newly excavated site, water seeped out when it was more than a meter down.

It's just that this time the water seeping out is much less, and the pit is not big, just a radius of one meter and a half.

The team members also wanted to expand the pit, but Zhu Yu stopped them.

If it expands further, it will divert the water flow from the side, and this point will be wasted.

Digging down to a depth of more than two meters, the diameter of the pit has become a radius of one meter.

There is only room for one person to dig a pit there, and the person who goes down has no top.

"The person next to you should stand a little farther away and clean up the dirt that has been dug up." Zhu Yu reminded, "The soil in this place is too soft, don't collapse the pit." ”

Everyone was nervously watching Ran Jie in the pit.

"There's something!" Ran Jie under the pit suddenly shouted loudly, "This seems to be a ...... Jade Edition! ”

Zhu Yu cautiously came to the mouth of the pit, and after Ran Jie saw him, he raised his hand and threw the jade plate up.

Zhu Yu took the jade plate and looked at it carefully.

The jade plate is ten centimeters high and twenty centimeters wide, and two centimeters thick.

According to the current connoisseur's eyes, the jade quality of this jade version is average, and it is ordinary green jade.

But what made Zhu Yu excited was that there were five characters similar to oracle bones on the jade plate!

Next, Ran Jie took out the things in the pit one by one and threw them on.

A lot of things were mixed in the mud and sand, and most of the people on it were thrown out of the mud, but no one cared.

The exclamations one after another made everyone forget about the others.

Everyone was amazed that these things were valuable objects.

Leng Rubing was surprised by the accuracy of Zhu Yu's "point point" position!

"There are sixty-seven pieces in total, including twenty-nine pieces of jade, thirty-seven pieces of gold, and one piece of bronze, but the rust is very serious."

Finally, the action team members reported to Zhu Yu.

Things are neatly placed five or six meters away from the big pit.

Zhu Yu cared about Ran Jie:

"Steady on the ...... Be careful! ”

His eyes were open, and he could clearly see the dirt around him as the groundwater began to collapse.

"Come up, danger!" Zhu Yu suddenly pounced on the team members who were using the pole of the Luoyang shovel to pull Ran Jie up.

With all his strength, he dragged the pole and threw it up!

At the same time, he shouted at the same time: "Hurry up! ”

Hearing this, Ran Jie tightly grasped the pole of the Luoyang shovel, and then felt his body rise into the air and be thrown out of the big pit!

Just as he was about to get out of the pit, he clearly felt that something was scraped under his feet!

And the people around can see that the big pit that was just dug out collapsed directly!

The surrounding soil, at some point, became extremely soft, collapsed and buried the whole pit!

Zhu Yu was like a fishing rod, throwing Ran Jie's whole person out!

Even if it's a second late, Ran Jie may be buried alive in the pit!

And Zhu Yu himself, after throwing Ran Jie out, immediately pushed Ran Jie's team members, and he also jumped backwards, avoiding the collapsed place.

The surroundings continued to collapse, and Zhu Yu and the others continued to retreat.

The collapsed pit was connected to the seepage pit dug earlier, and finally spread to a radius of seven or eight meters.

Even a few of the things that were dug up by the team members fell in.

Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and them to retreat quickly, but fortunately, there were no personnel losses.

Except for Zhu Yu, everyone else present broke out in a cold sweat!

If it weren't for Zhu Yu's quick reminder, I'm afraid everyone would have to fall into it!

It's hard to say how many will live then!

This place has now become a swamp, Zhu Yu stopped the team members from trying to salvage the few artifacts that fell, and said:

"Don't look for it, it's not easy to fish there. Safety first! Let's pack up our things now and get away from this place. ”

Now they roughly understood how those treasure hunters had been wiped out in the first place.

It's just that I don't know if this terrain was deliberately chosen by those ancient humans at the beginning, or if it was slowly formed later.

The items recovered from the pit were wrapped in soft paper and packed into bags, and some people packed their bags and moved quickly.

No one dares to stay in such a place for long.

Under Zhu Yu's guidance, they came to a place in the jungle, where the trees were relatively sparse, next to a small hill.

This small hill is half stone, half dirt, and some shrubs grow on it. Look at the soil quality is relatively hard.

"We're going to camp here today." Zhu Yu said, "The harvest is good, let's stop working in the afternoon, clean up these jade and gold objects simply, and find out the ones with nicks." ”

Naturally, everyone had no objection to Zhu Yu's arrangement, and began to set up tents according to the hills.

Although they have dry food in their backpacks, Ran Jie and the others still habitually hunt in the jungle and want to improve their food.

At dinner, Zhu Yu and the others had already picked out seventeen sacrificial offerings with notches, and found thirty-seven notches similar to characters from them.

Zhu Yu took pictures of these nicks one by one.

He planned to wait until he returned, and send it to the experts at the New Provincial Museum to see what he could find.

The meat of a fawn became the staple food of Zhu Yu's dinner.

Roast venison, braised venison, and soup.

Coupled with the fruits picked in the jungle, this meal can be considered a very hearty meal.

Ran Jie arranged for the action team members to take turns on duty.

In the middle of the night, some beasts, attracted by the light of the fire and the scent, ran over and were chased away by the operatives.

At dawn, in the darkest hour, three pairs of eyes stared at the camp through the leaves in the jungle.

It wasn't until the sky was about to turn white that the three pairs of eyes quietly disappeared.

At this time, Zhu Yu in the tent sat up violently, and he felt that danger was coming! (End of chapter)
