Chapter 45 Shell Coins

Zuo Shisan found that the white shell in his hand had been cut off part of it. The surface of the shell was severely weathered and looked a little old.

"Zuo Shisan, what did you find?" Shang Yunsu walked over, and when she saw the shell in Zuo Shisan's hand, she was a little surprised:

"Isn't this a seashell coin?"

"Is the sea shell coin? The oldest currency?" Zuo Shisan asked.

"I can't see it clearly, after all, it's the first time I've come into contact with this thing, so I have to let Captain Peng come and take a look." Shang Yunsu said, quickly walking to the tent where Peng Changsheng and the others were, and woke up the people in the tent.

After Peng Changsheng and others got out of the tent, Zuo Shisan quickly handed the coin in his hand to Peng Changsheng.

With the help of the light of the flashlight, Peng Changsheng carefully observed the coins in his hand and said with certainty:

"This shell is an ancient shell coins, which was the most important circulating currency in the ancient Dian Kingdom at that time. Almost all of these shell coins came from the Indian Ocean. After trade and trading, the people of the ancient Dian Kingdom stored these exchanged shell coins as wealth and treasures, and also exchanged livestock, food, gems, metals and other items in their daily lives."

The fat man said after hearing this:

"I discovered the currency used by the ancient Dian Kingdom at that time, that is, we are getting closer and closer to the tomb of the Dian King?"

Peng Changsheng nodded:

"That's right, but the ancient people of Dian had the habit of storing shell coins. According to common sense, most of the shell coins were stored in various containers and bronze jars, or even buried deep in the ground. How could it appear here?"

The fat man waved his hand and said:

"It's been so many years since this has passed, and the movement of the earth's crust has turned it up."

Peng Changsheng shook his head repeatedly:

"Not right. If that were the case, there would be no one nearby."

After Peng Changsheng finished speaking, the people in the team subconsciously looked at their feet. After searching for a long time, they did not find the second ancient shell coin.

"Captain Peng, why do you think this coin appears?" Zhao Man asked.

Peng Changsheng looked around and said:

"It may be because we were intentionally thrown here, or it may be because we were late..."

"I'm late? What does it mean?" Zhang Rong asked.

Peng Changsheng sighed and said:

"I mean, it is possible that the group of tomb robbers of Jiutou Buddha had already taken the lead and found the ancient tomb of the Ancient Dian King in advance, robbed it, and while transporting cultural relics, he accidentally threw an ancient shell coin."

Peng Changsheng's words made everyone present silent, and then Zhao Man spoke first:

"I think it is impossible. First of all, the situation in Dianshan is complicated. Even if they have extremely rich experience in tomb robbing, they cannot accurately determine the location of the Dian King's ancient tomb in such a short time. Even if they have found it, the excavation of the Dian King's tomb is definitely not an ordinary small project and it cannot be completed so soon."

Shang Yunsu also agreed with Zhao Man’s idea:

"Yes, they definitely didn't have that fast."

"If this ancient shell coin was not thrown by the Jiutou Buddha and his group, could it have crawled out from the ground by itself?" the fat man asked.

"There is another possibility." An Rushuang said.

"What's the possibility?" Peng Changsheng turned his head and looked at her and asked.

"I'm afraid the people of the Gu Dian Kingdom left it here themselves." An Rushuang said softly.

The reason An Rushuang said this was because of her powerful perception, she felt a strong yin energy gathering towards them nearby.

"What does it mean?! Sister-in-law, this... don't scare people in the middle of the night!" The fat man quickly looked around.

Everything around is calm, not like something is going to happen.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Yunsu also noticed something was wrong!

Her face changed and she immediately said to everyone:

"Are there dirty things coming, everyone hid it!"

Everyone followed Shang Yunsu and squatted behind a grass.

"Don't make any noise, try to slow down your breathing so as not to be discovered." Shang Yunsu reminded.

The fat man hasn't figured out what's going on, so he asked Shang Yunsu in a low voice:

"Miss Shang, what exactly is it here?"

"Don't talk!" Shang Yunsu glared at the fat man.

Just a few seconds later, Zuo Shisan and others suddenly smelled a scent of earth, and as time went by, the scent of earth became stronger and stronger.

An Rushuang frowned because she was so familiar with this smell, and she had been sleeping for thousands of years with a dead spirit!

"Bang!!" A sound came from a distance, as if someone was beating a drum hard.

"Here you come, don't make a sound." Shang Yunsu whispered, using gestures to make everyone lower their bodies to prevent them from being discovered.

Soon, a black figure walked out of the darkness and appeared in everyone's sight.

The sky was gloomy and the distance was a bit far away. I couldn't see clearly. I only saw people appearing behind this black figure one after another.

These black figures were lined up in two rows, and their walking pace was particularly neat, with black figures walking past Zuo Shisan and the others.

When the figure passed by, Zuo Shisan listened to him, and could not hear any sound of walking at all. He could hear the strong heartbeat of his own "bang! bang! bang!"

After seeing this scene, the first thing that emerged in Zuo Shisan’s mind was four words: Yin soldiers borrowed the way!

It seems that they are indeed unlucky to enter Dianshan this time. They have encountered all kinds of strange things.

The so-called Yin soldiers borrowed the road, and there were different opinions in various areas among the people. This was also the second time Zuo Shisan met in his life.

After seeing this scene, Zuo Shisan couldn't help but recall the first time he met a ghost soldier who had taken advantage of the road many years ago. If Rushuang hadn't protected him at that time, he would have been brought into the underworld by those ghost soldiers.

The ghost soldiers walked by, and it took a long time for Shang Yunsu to poke out of the grassland.

She observed the surroundings vigilantly and decided that all the ghost soldiers who were borrowing the road would go far away, then she called everyone out.

"Damn, I finally walked away. If I stayed for a while, the bugs inside could suck the blood on my body!" The fat man said, slapped his calves hard.

"Captain Peng, I have a suggestion." Shang Yunsu's face was solemn at this time.

Peng Changsheng said:

"You just say whatever you suggest."

"Leave Dianshan immediately, if we still want to survive." Shang Yunsu said decisively.

Suddenly hearing Shang Yunsu's words, Peng Changsheng was a little stunned, and Zuo Shisan, Fatty and others on the side did not react.

"Why...?" Peng Changsheng asked.

Shang Yunsu spoke:

"The big word "Dian" is written on the banner of the Yin soldiers who just passed by! In other words, these Yin soldiers did not come from the underworld, but were the unjust souls of the Yin soldiers who had been staying in the tomb of the Dian King to be responsible for guarding the tomb!"

When everyone in the team heard Shang Yunsu's words, they were extremely surprised. No one expected that they could see the guards of the Yin soldiers near the tomb of the Dian King. This completely subverted their worldview for Chang Deming and Zhang Rong, who rarely came into contact with supernatural events.
