Chapter 190 Sun Bird

"Otherwise, what else do you want? Sit under this huge door for ten days and a half and study slowly?" I said with a wry smile.

"This belongs to his grandma..." The fat man cursed angrily.

However, I found that Fatty was quite optimistic. Just now he was frowning and looking like a dead father, but after a moment he started to giggle.

I saw the fat man laughing endlessly, so I asked him why he was laughing.

"Why do you think I'm laughing?" The fat man grinned widely. Looking at the words carved on the giant sheep-headed door behind him, he felt as if a wolf had entered the flock of sheep, and he almost pounced on it.

.

"Damn it, although I can't read these words, Fatty, but I understand one thing clearly. This thing is the number one unsolved mystery in China, and it is much more precious than gold and silver!"

"Haha, little fat man, you are right." Uncle Ming pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses out of habit and said elegantly: "Although Xia Shu is famous, it is only recorded in some documents of later generations, such as "Xia Shu"

"Sikuquanshu" and the like, the real Xia Shu has never been unearthed. I think since this is the tomb of Dayu, 99% of the Xia Shu is the original version, not to mention the gold and silver, it is a whole

The value of a Forbidden City is not as valuable as a complete set of Xia books."

Hearing Uncle Ming's words, the fat man's saliva almost flowed to the ground. He said with a greedy look: "Damn it, isn't this a national treasure?"

"In terms of historical value, it should be considered yes!" Uncle Ming nodded, and then added: "I estimate that if it were taken out, it could be sold for at least 100 million, or US dollars."

I saw that the fat man was about to pry open the door, so I immediately held him back with a black thread on his head.

"Li Dingdang, why are you stopping me?" the fat man said angrily.

"Nonsense, if I don't stop you, do I really want you to pry it?" Seeing that the fat man was really anxious, I immediately reminded him: "You have to think clearly. Let's not say whether you can pry these tons of weight.

The giant sheep-headed door, even if you pry the door open, can you subdue so many monsters outside? Also, how the hell are you going to move out several tons of stuff, do you have any brains?"

"The most important thing is, even if you dare to sell this national treasure, would anyone in the world dare to take it?"

"It's none of your business. No matter how bold the people are, how rich the land is, aren't the heads of the twelve zodiac animals in the Yuanmingyuan still displayed in foreign museums?" the fat man quibbled.

"Can that be the same? Those were the trophies taken when the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned down the Old Summer Palace. When is it now?" I advised.

I saw that the fat man seemed to be shaken, so I was about to persuade him a few more words, but I saw the fat man put down the engineer shovel and said: "But you are right, Tinker Bell, this thing is too heavy. Even if Fatty and I are born with supernatural powers, I probably won't be able to get it out..."

…”

Seeing that the fat man was finally persuaded, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I cursed in my heart, although what I do is not a good job, but if I really let the fat man destroy such a precious thing, I will become a member of the Chinese nation.

A sinner through the ages.

I cannot bear this responsibility.

Unexpectedly, the fat man was already thinking to himself and starting his calculations again: "Fat Master has two shortcomings, one is that he is too handsome, and the other is that he is impatient! Since it is the tomb of Dayu, if you just take it out, wouldn't it be a national treasure?

Once we enter the main tomb, I will pick something suitable for you, Fatty."

After saying that, regardless of the way we all looked at him, he walked to Uncle Ming with a smile and said: "Uncle Ming, since you have figured out that this thing is Xia Shu, does that mean that we can crack the mechanism on the cliff?

Already?"

I was left speechless by the fat man for a while, and then I cursed: "Damn it, fat man, does your brain just not work when you see valuable things? It's said to be China's number one unsolved mystery, and so many archaeological experts have

Without research to understand, how could we possibly know.”

The fat man still didn't give up and cast his hopeful eyes on Uncle Ming.

Uncle Ming said with a wry smile: "Dingdang is right, I really can't understand a word..."

"I'm going!"

Just when the fat man was disappointed, Zhang Sanpao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "I can understand a few words."

The fat man was ready to wait for death. When he heard that Zhang Sanpao could understand, he was overjoyed. He jumped like a cheerful lark in front of Zhang Sanpao and said: "Brother Pao, tell me which ones you can understand."

Character?"

"Before he died, my master left a notebook. That notebook recorded the various ancient tombs he encountered and the various anecdotes he saw when he was a gold captain. Among them,

Including this Xia Shu." Zhang Sanpao said slowly: "It's a pity that although Master, although he is very powerful, he only deciphered three characters in his whole life. These three characters are called: Zi, Chun, Shang.

.”

"What does this mean? It has something to do with the mechanism on the cliff." Upon hearing this answer, the fat man suddenly became dejected.

"Listen to me first." Zhang Sanpao signaled the fat man not to worry, and explained with a smile: "Although these three words are not recognized by archaeological experts, they are just my master's private translations, but they can explain a lot.

Come on! This is the wonderful thing about Xia Shu. If you say one word, you can say a sentence. If you use Xia Shu to scold someone, who can beat it, haha."

"And the meaning of combining these three words together is probably: Dayu, with his heroic guards carrying bows and arrows and holding spears, traveled thousands of mountains and rivers to the bird land of the Dark Abyss to attack the sacred birds.

worship."

After saying that, Zhang Sanpao looked around at the dark cliff in front of him again, as if he was looking for something.

Although I didn't understand the three words Zhang Sanpao said, seeing Uncle Ming and Grandpa looking at me with approval, even the fourth girl nodded silently.

Obviously Zhang Sanpao was right!

Then the problem comes.

Birdland, birdland, what exactly does it mean?

"Wait." I suddenly paused, and my whole head seemed to be struck by lightning. A thought quickly passed through my mind. I picked up the telescope and looked at the iron chain hanging on the cliff, and shouted: "

This is where Bird Land refers."

Not only me, but Zhang Sanpao and Uncle Ming beside me also shouted out at the same time.

After I explained it again in vernacular, everyone suddenly realized. Indeed, the environment in front of us has an abyss in front of us and a huge sheep-headed door behind us. Not even a trace of light can penetrate. Isn't it the bird's land of the dark abyss?

?

Could it be that this is where Dayu worshiped the sacred bird thousands of years ago?

As the king of the Xia Dynasty, he was one person above all others. One order could cause a bloody storm in the entire city, and a wave of his hand could make countless people lose their heads.

Why would such a powerful being kneel down to worship...a ​​bird?

Just when I was puzzled, my grandfather, who had been silent just now, suddenly said: "Dingdang, do you know? Dayu is so great in Chinese history, so many touching stories about him have been circulated on both sides of the Yellow River.

Legend. We all know that Dayu controlled the floods, but few people know another legend that is more famous than Dayu's flood control."

"Oh?" I asked quickly: "What legend is it?"

"This legend is called the Sun Bird." Grandpa cleared his throat and said: "In ancient times long ago, there was no title of emperor, only king. The inheritance of the throne was not passed from father to son, and son to grandson.

, but when the old king dies, select a young man with both political integrity and talent from across the country, and let this young man continue to manage the country."

"For example, Dayu was admired by the world after he controlled the floods, and was canonized as the next king by the old king Shun..."

"The story starts from Dayu's later years. In his later years, Dayu was seriously ill. He would cough up blood if he exerted too much force. He knew that he was about to die, so he prepared to continue to follow the rules and hand over the position of king to his subordinates.

A man of both political integrity and talent. But at this time, the general responsible for patrolling the Yellow River came to court urgently and claimed to have discovered something important! It turned out that the local people discovered that a magical bird appeared flying in a place in the Yellow River. In ancient times, these things were taken very seriously.

The mythical beast was called auspicious, and it was a symbol of good fortune. So Dayu, who was ecstatic, led his men into the place where the sacred bird was, and found a sacred bird flying in the air with an iron box in its mouth.

Flying without stopping to rest. Dayu asked the tribe wizard for advice. The wizard told Dayu that this kind of bird is called the sun bird, also called the phoenix. It is the son of the sun god and is more precious than the phoenix. Legend has it that

The Sun God Bird flies all its life and only lands when it dies, so it is the closest existence to God. Now the Sun God Bird has come to the world, and it also carries an iron box. It is a great auspicious thing, and it was given to Dayu by the Sun God.

Treasure! Obtaining this bird and this box can protect Dayu's country forever. Dayu then captured the bird and the box together, and finally changed his mind, abolished the order to select a capable person as the king, and passed the throne to

My own son——Si Qi."

"As far as I know, Dayu was a very humble man and had no ambition at all. In order to control the floods, he would rather not enter the house three times. When the people elected him as king, he gave in again and again. But why did he do it?

In the end, he monopolized the power and made all his descendants become emperors? Maybe it was because he got the sun bird." Grandpa guessed.

"Then what is the Sun Bird that made Yu value it so highly?" I asked.

"I don't know about this. From ancient times to the present, except Dayu, no one has ever seen the true appearance of the Sun Bird. Even the subordinates who worshiped the Sun Bird with Dayu were attracted by him...

They were beheaded together." Grandpa sighed and said.

"Then the Sun Bird never appeared again?" Thinking of this, I was shocked and quickly glanced at the cliff again: "Did Yu take the Sun Bird and the iron box with him?
