Chapter 327

She kicked him directly in the head; if he hadn't had a strong body, he would have probably kicked the bucket.

But even though Tianzhen was right next to him, that person acted as if she didn't see him!

This differential treatment made it even more clear that the person knew Tianzhen!

Tianzhen and Fatty argued endlessly about this until Zhang Tianshi suddenly said, "That person doesn't look like the Lan Si you mentioned; I've fought her."

"Looking at her flexibility and power, she is indeed a woman, but her height is wrong."

"This person is much shorter than the Lan Si in that photo of the Miao girl under the moon!"

"But she is a Miao person, that should be correct."

Fatty and Tianzhen were confused; it wasn't Lan Si, but she was a Miao person. How was Zhang Tianshi so sure?

To this, Zhang Tianshi explained, "I lived in the Miao region for a while, and when I fought her, I smelled the scent of Ai Yu grass on her."

"This kind of grass is used by Miao villagers to smoke their houses, and it basically only appears in Miao villages."

Fatty immediately said excitedly, "Then that's it; even if this person isn't Lan Si, she has an inseparable relationship with the Miao village!"

"I think we need to report these things to Professor Chen quickly, so the authorities don't lose the cultural relics without having any leads."

Tianzhen nodded; he was still puzzled until now.

Why would people from the Miao village steal King Lu Shang's purple jade box?

There were two things in that box; one was a square, heavy object wrapped in a silk bag.

Fatty hadn't opened it to look before it was snatched away by the black-clad person.

The other thing was a silk book, which had already been handed over to Professor Chen, and Professor Chen was now proceeding to translate it.

Looking at the black-clad person's clear goal, it was obvious she knew what was in that silk bag.

But unfortunately, the archaeological team didn't even have a chance to take a look!

The three were silent for a moment, and Fatty suddenly thought of the secret Tianzhen said he had before Zhang Tianshi came in.

"Tianzhen, what's your secret? Being interrupted by Tianshi, I forgot all about it."

Wu Tianzhen immediately said, "It's not a big deal; it's just that I think I know the password to the purple-gold box."

Whoosh—

As soon as Tianzhen finished speaking, Fatty stood up in excitement!

"Damn! You know the password? Where did you find out?"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find Professor Chen."

Tianzhen hesitated and said, "I'm not sure if it's right yet!"

"Professor Chen is still live-streaming there; what if it's wrong? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Before Fatty could say anything, Zhang Tianshi said directly, "Don't worry, they are just trying randomly like headless flies anyway."

"If you say it, it's just an option to try; it doesn't matter if it's wrong."

After saying this, he looked at Tianzhen and said, "Your password came from the silk book rubbing, right?"

Hearing this, Tianzhen was stunned, then nodded.

He didn't expect Zhang Tianshi to hit the nail on the head!

This password was indeed what he saw on the Warring States silk book rubbing.

At the time, seeing that the purple-gold box's password had eight digits, Tianzhen felt it looked familiar.

Seeing this, Fatty didn't care about his shoulder pain anymore; he grabbed Tianzhen and followed Zhang Tianshi toward Professor Chen's tent.

As soon as the three entered the tent, they saw everyone with shocked expressions.

The scene was very quiet, making it difficult for the three to be the first to speak.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianshi asked, "Professor, what happened?"

Professor Chen then came back to his senses and said to the three, "It's simply too incredible!"

"That silk book Little Wang took out of the purple jade box actually brought a shocking secret!"

"It turns out that the one we carried out is not King Lu Shang at all!"

The one carried out is not King Lu Shang?!

At this moment, not to mention the trio, even the audience watching the live stream were all dumbfounded.

The archaeological team had worked hard for a long time and even suffered casualties.

And they didn't carry out King Lu Shang's living corpse?

Then who is this person who still has a heartbeat and is wearing a Jade Burial Suit?

The Xinyue Hotel was now noisy, full of buzzing discussions.

Some people had even started asking Zhang Lin loudly.

"Mr. Zhang, did you know that this living corpse is not King Lu Shang?"

"Yeah! Why would the archaeological team say that?"

"Didn't King Lu Shang pull out the original owner of the coffin and lie in it himself?"

"So, this isn't a dove occupying a magpie's nest, but a mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lin smiled.

Then he said to everyone, "Who just said 'a mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?"

"Sure enough, wisdom lies among the masses!"

"These words are indeed correct; it is exactly 'a mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'!"

"This tomb was discovered by King Lu Shang through tomb raiding, and the secret of immortality was also found by him."

"But after he made all the preparations, the one who lay inside was not himself."

"Perhaps this is what is called 'the way of heaven is clear and retribution is swift'; he destroyed someone else's immortality, so he himself was destined to be unable to live forever!"

Hearing this, everyone's hearts remained unsettled for a long time.

Professor Chen hadn't explained the content of the silk book yet, but they had already confirmed from Zhang Lin that what was recorded on this silk book should be how that third person played the role of the oriole behind!

Sure enough, in everyone's anticipation.

Professor Chen said with some excitement, "This silk book records that King Lu Shang discovered this ancient tomb from the Western Zhou period."

"And learned about immortality and the Jade Burial Suit from ancient books!"

"So when he opened the coffin and saw the original owner lying inside wearing the jade suit, he knew he had found the true method of immortality!"

"King Lu Shang was extremely excited and didn't dare tell anyone about this, including the Duke of Lu."

"Immortality is destined to be a blessing that only he can enjoy!"

"But he alone could not manage to lie into the jade suit and be sealed into the coffin."

"So he needed a helper, and this person was one of his most trusted subordinates, called Tie Mian Sheng."

"Tie Mian Sheng's skills, according to the silk book, were unfathomable! He should have had very high attainments in Feng Shui!"

"Many of the ancient tombs King Lu Shang raided were discovered with his assistance."

"King Lu Shang trusted him very much, told him all the secrets, and had Tie Mian Sheng assist him in lying into the coffin, waiting to wake up three thousand years later."

Professor Chen paused after saying this.

But everyone could guess what happened next!

The temptation of immortality was too great, so Tie Mian Sheng betrayed King Lu Shang!

Not only did he not follow King Lu Shang's request to put him into the jade suit and seal him in the coffin.

Even after dragging King Lu Shang's body out, he didn't find another coffin to bury him in.

Instead, like an ordinary sacrificial victim, he casually threw him into the sacrificial bronze tripod in the tomb chamber!

He himself swallowed the elixir of immortality, wore the jade suit, and lay into the bronze coffin!

Fatty heard this and said in shock, "Damn! So the one we carried out with such great effort is not King Lu Shang, but that military advisor Tie Mian Sheng?"

Professor Chen nodded, his expression very complex!

An immortal feudal lord of Lu and a military advisor, their identities were worlds apart!

Everyone had this subtle sense of contrast in their hearts.

When they learned that this living corpse was not King Lu Shang, but a military advisor who didn't even have a name, they were more or less disappointed!

Even if he was an immortal body, it couldn't cover up this disappointment.

Many people didn't understand this feeling, but an analogy would make it clear.

It's like opening the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and discovering that the one living inside is not the Qin Qin Shi Huang, but a test subject who swallowed the elixir of immortality.

Anyone would feel it's a great pity, right?
