~7 min read 1,304 words

The news that the Ghost Seal might appear in the world caused a great sensation across the entire network.

Although most people feel that the records on the inscription are exaggerated.

It is the mythologization of oneself after the ancient people died.

But now the archaeological team is already in the tomb of King Lu Shang, and one of these seven coffins must be King Lu Shang's own!

As long as the coffin is opened, you can know if there are burial objects inside!

If the Ghost Seal can really be found, that will be a milestone discovery in the archaeological circle of the Xia Kingdom!

The archaeological team was excited about this, and Professor Chen had already begun to let the archaeological team members take photos of the seven coffins separately.

After the preparation work is finished, they can open the coffin on the spot!

In Sanying Garden, the audience was still immersed in the shock of the Ghost Seal story.

People at the scene have advantages that many people don't have, that is, if they don't understand anything, they can immediately ask Zhang Lin.

The whole network has many questions about the Ghost Seal, so the audience couldn't help but ask in a jumble.

"Mr. Zhang, is this Ghost Seal true or false?"

"Yes, is this story bragging by ancient people? Or does King Lu Shang really have a Ghost Seal and can borrow Yin soldiers?"

"If the Ghost Seal exists, is it in this ancient tomb of the Lu State?"

Many questions are also what Zhang Yueshan and the people of the Nine Sects want to know.

They really want to figure out, did Zhang Lin just know about the Ghost Seal from the deciphered inscription?

Or did he already know about the existence of this thing?

At this time, Zhang Lin said: "Everyone, I happen to know a little bit about this thing called the Ghost Seal, and I can tell you all about it."

Know a little bit?

The audience was confused after listening!

Every time they encounter anything, Zhang Lin says he knows a little bit.

Looking at it now, this is not knowing a little bit, this is knowing a billion points, okay!?

I have never seen a person who knows more miscellaneous things than Zhang Lin.

He is simply like a small knowledge encyclopedia.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhang Lin continued: "Actually, the real role of this Ghost Seal is not to borrow Yin soldiers!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yueshan and Old Lady Huo changed their colors together.

Just when they thought Zhang Lin was going to directly reveal the role of the Ghost Seal.

Zhang Lin changed the subject and said: "What is the real role of the Ghost Seal, let's not talk about it for now, let's just talk about what's going on with this King Lu Shang who obtained the Ghost Seal."

"The role of the Ghost Seal is not to borrow Yin soldiers, but King Lu Shang said as if it were true that his Yin soldiers were borrowed by the Ghost Seal, why is this?"

"Actually, the reason is very simple, either he used the Ghost Seal completely wrong, leading to some inexplicable supernatural phenomena around the Ghost Seal, mistakenly making him think that those were Yin soldiers."

"Or, his theory of borrowing Yin soldiers is a lie in itself!"

Borrowing Yin soldiers is a lie?

Many audience members didn't understand what it meant after hearing it.

If borrowing Yin soldiers is a lie, then how did King Lu Shang deceive the Duke of Lu?

This inscription is clearly recorded in the tone of the Duke of Lu.

From the inscription, it can be seen that the Duke of Lu deeply believed in King Lu Shang's borrowing of Yin soldiers.

Otherwise, why would he confer a title on King Lu Shang and build a mausoleum for him?

The lines of the inscription all show that the Duke of Lu trusted King Lu Shang very much and felt that his contribution was great.

If King Lu Shang didn't have substantial help to the Duke of Lu, as a monarch of a country, would he value a subject so much?

The audience looked at Zhang Lin with various questions, wanting to see how he answered.

Zhang Lin continued: "The two assumptions I just made, the first is that King Lu Shang used the Ghost Seal incorrectly."

"This assumption involves too many factors, and you must know what the Ghost Seal is really used for to judge, so I will skip it."

"Let's focus on this second one, why is it said that borrowing Yin soldiers is a lie."

"Actually, the truth is very simple, because King Lu Shang's profession is not a general who leads troops to fight, but like many people present, he is a tomb raider!"

Hum—

Hearing this, the whole audience was in an uproar!

A feudal lord of the Lu State, whose real profession is a tomb raider?

Is this possible?

Facing the questioning of the crowd, Zhang Lin affirmed: "Do you all remember what Zhang Yancheng, who can use the secret skills of the Faqiu Heavenly Official and the Faqiu Finger, does?"

"That's right, he is a person who specializes in tomb raiding to raise military funds for warlords."

"That King Lu Shang, in fact, also does this!"

"Throughout the ages, it is not only modern people who will raid tombs, nor is it only today that there are tomb raiders who don't follow the rules."

"As early as the Warring States period, some people were already doing this!"

"This King Lu Shang can be considered an expert and the originator of tomb raiding."

"And things like excavating ancient tombs to steal burial objects from the tomb owner to use as military funds cannot be said out loud no matter what."

"Otherwise, if people know, the majesty of the Duke of Lu as a monarch of a country will be gone!"

"Therefore, King Lu Shang had to work, and he had to not let others know that he was looting ancient tombs, so he had no choice but to make up a lie about borrowing Yin soldiers."

"Everyone open the inscription picture and look at the record on the seventh line."

"The meaning of the inscription here is that King Lu Shang's troops mostly rested during the day and marched at night."

"And often the whole army disappeared at once, and then suddenly appeared in another place."

"There is a paragraph of wording here, saying that the places they have been to are often 'many tombs are dilapidated, and when asked, they say that the Yin soldiers have all come out'."

"Everyone imagine, what kind of military branch needs to rest during the day and march at night?"

"And what kind of battle is always fought at night, but a truce during the day?"

"This is very obvious, it is King Lu Shang's people digging tombs everywhere, and when people found that the tomb soil had been moved, they made an excuse saying that King Lu Shang borrowed the souls of these tomb owners."

"Ancient people were superstitious, so the theory of borrowing Yin soldiers spread, and later it spread even more magically."

"When King Lu Shang saw this, this lie could perfectly cover up the fact that he was tomb raiding for him, so not only did he not care, but he also fueled the flames behind the scenes."

"As time went by, the fact that King Lu Shang could borrow Yin soldiers was confirmed."

After Zhang Lin finished speaking, everyone was thoughtful.

Because they all felt that this explanation was very reasonable!

The statement that King Lu Shang was a tomb raider can not only perfectly explain the records on the inscription.
