Chapter 1: The Family of Swordsmen

Next Chapter

"What, it's me again?!" At two o'clock in the morning, Su Wei looked at a message that had just come from the laptop screen, closed the laptop in annoyance, and complained with a sad face.

Since Su Wei was forcibly enrolled in the archaeology major by his family on the inexplicable reason of family heirloom occupation, the days of hard work have begun.

First of all, there are only seven people majoring in archaeology in this huge college. In addition, except for two of the guys who used the Internet café as a dormitory, except for the two senior brothers who were assigned to the western archaeological internship, and except for the two senior brothers who never appeared, he became the last straw for the entire major.

Of course, this is useless, and his mentor does not cherish the last straw. In the past three years, he has already deeply recognized the treacherous face of this seemingly honest old man. All good errands, such as academic meetings, he personally went out. And Su Yi's task is to help the old man clean up the antiquities. Every once in a while, the old man would get an antiquity out of nowhere to let Su Yi clean it, and also praise it to exercise his willpower and patience.

No, the sentence flickering on the computer screen: "Come to the laboratory tomorrow to clean the antiquities, by the way, it is said that it is more appropriate to be lazy tomorrow and make up for the exam!"

"Cut. This old guy obviously wants to be lazy. You want me to help you clean up and make your big dreams!" Su Yi snorted to himself, and fell asleep under the covers.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Good boy, good, I've been very positive lately, and I didn't mistake you as a teacher, hahaha. The next day, there was a smug laugh in the laboratory of the college's archaeology department. I saw an old man with gray hair patting a young man on the shoulder, smiling brightly. However, the young man's face was not so good-looking.

As he spoke, the old man turned around, took out an antiquity from his backpack, and handed it to Su Yi, "Boy, this is it." The old man suddenly became serious as he spoke, "This is the ancient Ding of the Yellow Emperor's year, don't be careless and break it for me." ”

"Poof. Su Yi just drank a sip of water and squirted out directly, and said angrily: "I said old man, what an adult, don't force yourself to pretend to be forced, okay? Why don't you say it's the Pangu period, the treasure of opening the sky?"

The old man slapped his palm on Su Yi's head and said, "Criminal, what do you know? Okay, for the teacher, I'm going to explore academics, and I'll come to accept it tomorrow. ”

After speaking, looking at Su Wei's pig-liver-like face, the old man walked out of the door proudly. After a while, Su Yi heard the old man's voice answering the phone, "Hey, Xiaomei, yo hehehe, you have already arrived at the People's Square?

Su Yi was stunned for thirty seconds before shouting at the door of the laboratory, "I'll go to your mother's academic inquiry, Master of Evil!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Unconsciously, Fang Yi was setting in the west, and a ray of residual sun passed through the woods at the door of Su Wei's dormitory, shining on his handsome face.

Su Yi put down the cleaning tools and Gu Ding in his hand, took a deep breath at the remnant sun, and looked ahead in a daze.

The mobile phone on the corner of the table flashed suddenly, and it turned out to be a holiday reminder for Mother's Day.

"It turns out that today is Mother's Day," Su Zhimumu said to himself, "It's a pity that I don't even know who my mother is." Su Yi sighed, since he can remember, he has always been accompanied by his grandfather. Mom and Dad seemed to be two terms that were very unfamiliar, at least, he hadn't seen them. Grandpa never mentioned it to him, only told him that he was the one hundred and eightieth generation of the sword-forging family.

What kind of sword-casting family, Su Wei has never seen a sword at home, nor has he seen his grandfather helping others forge swords.

I asked my grandfather, and I didn't say anything, that quirky old man hid in the study every day and didn't know what to do, except for helping him report this bullshit archaeology, he basically didn't care.

It seemed that it was a leaf that shook slightly, and a touch of residual sun shone on Su Yi's eyes, which brought him back to his senses. I don't know when the mobile phone screen is dark, looking at the stunned self that shines out, Su Yi can't help but chuckle a few times, feeling that he will be sad, which is really rare.

Suddenly, a stripe in the mirror image attracted him. Su Rui looked at it, and what he saw was that Gu Ding. The intricate lines are like a map.

"Strange," put down the phone, Su Yi picked up the tripod again, and said to himself: "Why didn't you see it, I thought it was just an inexplicable scratch." ”

When I looked at it again, the lines on the tripod lost the feeling of being talented, and I just felt that it was disorganized.

"This" Su Wei picked up the phone strangely, and the lines reflected in the phone had the feeling of a map.

Suddenly, Su Wei slapped his thigh and said, "I see, it must be a mirror map." ”

As we all know, the image in the mirror is actually the opposite of the image seen in reality. Therefore, only when you look at the lines with a mirror, you will have the feeling of a map. Su Wei read in the book that before the Qin Dynasty, most of the mirrors that appeared were bronze mirrors, and the mirrors were not very clear. Some confidential documents or secret reports are engraved in the form of mirror images to confuse. It was not until the later Sui and Tang dynasties, when the mirrors became more and more refined, that this method gradually disappeared until it was gone. In this way, isn't this ancient tripod really an antiquity before the Qin Dynasty?

Thinking about it, Su Yi became more and more interested, and simply brought a mirror to identify Gu Ding. After comparison, I was surprised to find that this map turned out to be part of the map of Xi'an. Su Yi's academy is in Xi'an, no wonder it feels so familiar.

Su Wei took out the map of the city and compared it again and again, and found that the place shown on the map was more than an hour's drive away from his academy, and it was the edge of a mountain.

After such a discovery, Su Yi's heart became more and more impatient. So he put on a piece of clothing at the moment, took a picture of the map in front of the mirror, and thought about it and didn't feel at ease, so he simply threw Gu Ding into his backpack and went out to his destination.

After leaving the school, Su Wei stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, and after briefly explaining the location, he took out the Gu Ding to observe carefully.

The fine and dense soil that has not yet been cleaned is all pure copper, and there is no trace of patina. In this way, Su Yi felt more and more that this Gu Ding might really be a treasure. I don't know how I got my mentor, so I guess I stole some royal tomb. Thinking about it like this, Su Yi was even happier, if this was better, he would be out of the sea of suffering by arresting the dead old man. It's a delight.

By the time we arrived at our destination, the sky was almost dark, leaving only a few golden clouds in the sky.

After thanking the driver, Su Yi took out his mobile phone to observe the map carefully. There is a particularly prominent pattern in the texture of the map, which connects to a dot in the middle of the map, which is thought to be the path. Su Wei called up Google Maps and compared it a few times, although it can't be said to be exactly the same, but it is basically certain that this is the right place.

Su Wei looked at the dim mountain road in front of him, took out a flashlight from his backpack, and walked forward.

But at some point, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly flickered, and then completely dimmed.
