After listening to Huayue's words, Zhou Jun walked around the stone house and first came to the bedroom.
This bedroom doesn't look big, but it's divided into two rooms, inside and outside, with a bed in each room.
Zhou Jun said: "It seems that there is more than one person living here."
Hua Yue: "Inside is the master, outside is the servant. When Shen Qian first came to the tomb, she might have brought a slave with her."
Zhou Jun nodded and went to the study room with Hua Yue again.
Zhou Jun poured some oil into the everlasting lamp, lit it with a fire, and looked at the stone tables and chairs in front of him by the light of the fire.
There was a thick layer of dust on the tabletop. If you look closely, you can see a hidden stone door underneath the table.
Opening the hidden stone door, Zhou Jun found a black box.
Zhou Jun grabbed the handle of the box, his hands were cold, and he used all his strength to pull, but the box actually didn't move at all.
Huayue and Zhou Jun worked together to pull out the box.
The outer shell of the box is made of metal covered with rust, and the inside is a wooden wall soaked in oil. There is also a sandwich layer of paraffin between the metal and the wooden wall...
Since the interface had long been corroded, Huayue had to use a dagger to break the lock bit by bit in order to open the box.
When the box was finally opened, Zhou Jun looked inside.
The box is full of stuff, mostly books and some personal items.
At the top, there is a wooden box.
Using the blade of his sword to lift the sealing wax on the wooden box, Zhou Jun carefully opened the box mouth and found a letter quietly placed inside.
Zhou Jun felt heavy after receiving the letter paper.
Huayue looked carefully and saw that there were silk threads and transparent colloid on the paper, so she asked, "What are these?"
Zhou Jun: "This is silk and resin. It is a commonly used preservation method to prevent paper paintings from getting damp or rotting for a long time."
Huayue sighed: "Shen Qian is really thoughtful."
Zhou Jun opened the letter and saw the beautiful handwriting on it. The first page said: "Being able to read this letter means that you have chosen the truth but given up wealth. First of all, you need to know one thing. In the tomb above your head, if you press the sun in the sun and moon relief, the poisonous gas around the treasure will not dissipate, but will trigger the mechanism on the top of the rock, and a large amount of yellow sand will flow into the cave, burying everything here. ."
When Huayue heard this, she opened her eyes wide and said, "In other words, the words on the stone pillar just now are also a trap? If we choose wealth, then we can only be buried alive here?"
Zhou Jun sighed softly: "This woman really goes off the beaten track and doesn't act according to common sense."
After saying that, Zhou Jun continued to look down.
At the beginning of the second page, it reads: "My name is Shen Qian, and I am a doctoral candidate in mining engineering. If the theory of parallel universes is true, then I should come from another world. In that world, I am an ordinary-looking woman with an introverted personality. I am afraid of interacting with others and have never accepted other people’s kindness. Since I was a child, I have been accompanied by books most of the time. At the age of thirty-three, I still I am alone."
"Once I went out for sampling, due to my negligence, I fell into a mine, which ended my already boring life, but started a new journey."
"A man I had never met claimed to be the king of the Yanqi Kingdom. He forcefully took me away and claimed that he would fulfill the promise of the Dragon God. I tried to escape and ran barefoot for ten minutes in the desert on a moonlit night.
After traveling for several miles, I was finally captured and taken back to the palace; I also tried to resist, and on my wedding night, I stabbed my husband and was then thrown into death row."
"Just when I thought everything was about to end, King Yanqi pardoned my sins and even allowed me to move freely within the kingdom without being restrained. After that, I slowly changed from the initial resistance, disgust and pain to
I turned to curiosity and adaptation." "In my previous life, I had no friends or partners. The only living family member was just a father who abandoned his wife and daughter and never appeared. In this life, my husband will do it for me.
Protect me against all those who want to do harm to me, and give me the maximum freedom. The people of this country rarely see those who scheming and deceiving the philistines. They dance and laugh with me. Perhaps, here, compared to other places,
A world... more like my home."
"However, the good times did not last long. My husband was involved in an endless political whirlpool due to religious disputes and clan disputes in the country. When I saw his body in the Kucha Temple, everything collapsed for me.
At that moment, I felt extremely regretful. If in another world, I had studied history, I would have predicted all this in advance; if I had not been immersed in pleasure in the past, but had cared more about political affairs and been more active in changing the world.
, then maybe he won’t die.”
Zhou Jun felt helpless after reading this.
Although Shen Qian is a time traveler, when she first arrived in Yanqi, she had no ambitions and no knowledge of history. The care of King Yanqi and the kindness of the people of Yanqi made her unaware of the coup that would happen in the future, so
I have no desire to change the world.
Therefore, a safe and stable life has become everything she expected.
It is precisely because of this that her influence on history has been minimized, which is why the entire world has not changed much.
The letter further said: "The coup has begun, and the ministers and generals who usually have low eyebrows and submissiveness have shown their sharp fangs. I tried every means to send the two children out of the city, and snatched them away regardless of life and death.
I took out my husband’s body and came here.”
"During the days when the rebels were hunting us, I found many loyal people, built this tomb, and designed these mechanisms to ensure that no one would bother me and my husband again."
"When all the dust settled, apart from my husband's body, there were only two living people in this tomb - me and another bearded maid. The maid was a Zoroastrian. Although she was clumsy, she was saved by me.
She is loyal to me. I have only one order for her, which is to put my body into the sarcophagus next to King Yanqi after my death."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "When I wrote this letter, I had already started a hunger strike. I believe it won't be long before I can be reunited with my husband. If there is an afterlife.
, I hope he and I can meet in another world."
The text of the letter ends abruptly here.
After Huayue listened, she wiped her eyes.
Zhou Jun put down the letter, looked into the box, and said to Hua Yue: "When we get out of here, we must ask Sun Aying to bring someone here as soon as possible to take these things away."
Huayue nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked out of the study and came to the main entrance of the big house.
Huayue looked at the house in front of her and asked Zhou Jun: "Erlang, there is one thing I don't understand."
Zhou Jun: "What's the matter?"
Hua Yue: "Shen Qian said that she found people to build the tomb and the institutions. Where are the craftsmen and servants?"
Zhou Jun was silent for a moment and said: "I'm afraid it's going to be more bad than good."
Huayue: "You mean, those people were all silenced after the craftsmanship was completed?"
Zhou Jun: "Shen Qian was lonely in her previous life. In this life, she finally found the one she loved and had a family, but she lost everything because of the coup. Whoever had changed her in this life, her personality and thinking would be different. Everyone will be a little paranoid. It is difficult for such a woman to trust others and act without scruples. Therefore, in order to protect the secrets here, most of the craftsmen will die. "
Huayue bit her lips and asked in a low voice: "Where is the maid from the Zhuohu tribe? She is loyal and only follows orders. Although Shen Qian wants to keep it a secret, she will never kill her, right?"
Zhou Jun sighed slightly and said nothing.
Seeing Zhou Jun's expression, Hua Yue shuddered deep in her bones.
Coincidentally, from the underground river next to the stone house, a loud roar came from deep inside, and the sound was as shocking as the roar of a tiger and the roar of a dragon.
Huayue, who was afraid of ghosts and gods, screamed and hugged Zhou Jun.
The latter turned his head and glanced at the depths of the river cave, which was like a black hole in the abyss. While patting Hua Yue on the back, he said: "It's just the sound of wind... let's go, let's get out of here."
