Zuo Thirteen found that the white shell in his hand had part of the back cut off. The surface of the shell was severely weathered and looked old.
"Zuo Shisan, what did you find?" Shang Yunsu walked over. When she saw clearly the shell in Zuo Shisan's hand, she was a little surprised:
"Isn't this a sea shell coin?"
"Sea shell coins? Are they the oldest currency?" Zuo Shisan asked.
"I can't tell for sure. After all, this is my first time coming into contact with this thing. I have to let Captain Peng come and take a look." Shang Yunsu said, walking quickly 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 shell coins in his hand to Peng Changsheng.
With the help of the light of the flashlight, Peng Changsheng carefully observed the shell coins in his hand and said with certainty:
"This shell is an ancient shell coin, which was the most important currency in circulation in the ancient Dian Kingdom at that time. Almost all of these shell coins came from the Indian Ocean. After commercial transactions, the ancient Dian people stored these shell coins as wealth and treasures.
, and also exchange livestock, food, gems, metals and other items in daily life."
After hearing this, the fat man said:
"The currency used by the ancient Dian Kingdom has been discovered. In other words, we are getting closer to the tomb of the Dian King?"
Peng Changsheng nodded:
"Yes, but the ancient Dian people had the habit of storing shell coins. According to common sense, most shell coins are stored in various containers and bronze jars, or even buried deep underground. How could it appear here?
"
The fat man waved his hand and said:
"How many years have passed, and the crustal movement has turned it upside down."
Peng Changsheng shook his head repeatedly:
"That's not right. If that's the case, there can't be only one around here."
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 shell coin appears?" Zhao Man asked.
Peng Changsheng looked around and said:
"Maybe they were left here on purpose, or maybe we were already late..."
"Late? What do you mean?" Zhang Rong asked.
Peng Changsheng sighed and said:
"What I mean is that it is possible that the tomb robbers from the Nine-Headed Buddha have already taken the lead, found the ancient tomb of the ancient Dian King in advance, robbed it, and accidentally dropped an ancient shell coin while transporting the cultural relics."
Peng Changsheng's words caused everyone present to fall into silence, and then Zhao Man spoke first:
"I think it's impossible. First of all, the situation in Dian Mountain is complicated. Even if they have extremely rich experience in tomb robbing, it is impossible for them to accurately determine the location of the ancient tomb of the Dian King in such a short period of time. Even if they have found it and robbed it,
The Tomb of the King of Dian is by no means an ordinary small project, and it cannot be completed so quickly."
Shang Yunsu also agreed with Zhao Man’s idea:
"Yes, they are definitely not that fast."
"If this ancient shell coin was not dropped by the Nine-Headed Buddha and his gang, could it be that it came out of the ground on its own?" the fat man asked.
"There is another possibility." An Rushuang said.
"What's possible?" Peng Changsheng turned to look at her and asked.
"I'm afraid the ancient Dian people themselves left it here." An Rushuang said softly.
The reason why An Rushuang said this was because with her powerful perception, she could feel the strong Yin Qi gathering in their direction nearby.
"What do you mean?! Sister-in-law, this... don't scare people in the middle of the night!" The fat man quickly looked around.
Everything was calm around me, and it didn't look like anything was going to happen.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Yunsu also noticed something was wrong!
Her expression changed and she immediately said to everyone:
"Something dirty is coming, everyone hide it quickly!"
Everyone followed Shang Yunsu and squatted behind a patch of grass.
"Don't make any sound, try to slow down your breathing to avoid being discovered." Shang Yunsu reminded.
The fat man still hadn't figured out what was going on, so he asked Shang Yunsu in a low voice:
"Miss Shang, what exactly is coming?"
"Stop talking!" Shang Yunsu glared at the fat man.
Just a few seconds later, Zuo Shisan and others suddenly smelled an earthy smell, and as time went by, this earthy smell became stronger and stronger.
An Rushuang frowned, because she was so familiar with this smell, the aura of death that had been sleeping for thousands of years!
"Bang!!" A sound came from far away, like someone beating a drum hard.
"We're here, don't make a sound." Shang Yunsu whispered, using gestures to ask everyone to lower their bodies to prevent 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 quite far, so it was completely unclear. I could only see that behind this black figure, figures appeared one after another.
These black figures were lined up in two rows, and they walked in a very orderly manner. One after another, the black figures just walked past Zuo Thirteen and others.
When the figure walked by, Zuo Thirteen listened, but could not hear any walking sound at all. All he could hear was his own strong heartbeat of "Bang! Bang! Bang!".
After seeing this scene, the first thing that came to Zuo Shisan's mind was four words: Yin soldiers borrowed a way!
It seems that they were quite unlucky when they entered the Yunnan Mountains this time. They encountered all kinds of strange things.
There are different versions of the so-called Yin soldiers borrowing roads from various regions among the people. This was also the second time Zuo Shisan encountered it in his life.
Seeing this scene, Zuo Shisan couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met the Yin soldiers borrowing their way many years ago. If Rushuang hadn't protected him at that time, he might have been taken into the underworld by those Yin soldiers.
.
The Yin soldiers passed by, and it took a long time for Shang Yunsu to lean out from the grass.
She observed her surroundings vigilantly, and after making sure that all the Yin soldiers borrowing the way were gone, she called everyone out.
"Damn it, we're finally far away. If I stay a little longer, the bugs inside will suck all the blood out of me!" the fat man said, slapping his calf hard.
"Captain Peng, I have a suggestion." Shang Yunsu's face was solemn at this time.
Peng Changsheng said:
"Just say whatever you propose."
"Leave Dianshan immediately, if we still want to survive." Shang Yunsu said decisively.
Peng Changsheng was a little stunned when he suddenly heard Shang Yunsu's words. Zuo Shisan, Fatty and others on the side did not react.
"Why... why?" Peng Changsheng asked.
Shang Yunsu spoke:
"On the banner of the Yin soldiers who just passed by, there is a big word "Dian" written on it! This means that these Yin soldiers are not from the underworld, but the ghosts of the Yin soldiers who have been staying in the tomb of King Dian to guard the tomb!
"
Hearing Shang Yunsu's words, everyone in the team was extremely surprised. No one expected that near the tomb of the Dian King, an army of Yin soldiers could be seen guarding the spirit. This was a big surprise for Chang Deming and Zhang Rong, who had rarely been exposed to supernatural events.
The two of them completely subverted their worldview.
