"Chen Tugong, what are you doing? What are you hiding here?"
He dug hard at the soil, looked back at me, and said, "It's a jade axe. I picked it up accidentally. It's made of gold and silver. It has a small map that I can't understand engraved on it. He
Damn it, where did it go? I can still run away on my own."
"Yue" is a kind of ritual instrument popular in the late Shang Dynasty and the middle and early Western Zhou Dynasty. Most of them are made of bronze, and a few are made of jade. Its status is equivalent to that of the later tiger charm, and it is a very high-level instrument.
The emperor has nine tripods, four horses, and one axe. This is a system that ordinary princes and kings would never dare to surpass, let alone the middle and early Western Zhou Dynasty when the country was strong.
If what Chen Jiansheng said is true and he discovered the yue, it can explain one thing.
The owner of the tomb is not afraid of Emperor Zhou.
If the owner of the tomb is that Mustard Lord, in short, if he ignores you, Emperor Zhou, I will leapfrog myself and use Jiuding, Four Horses and One Yue.
But one thing I can't figure out is that Chen Jiansheng could pick up such an important thing casually? He also said that there was a map engraved on the axe. What map was it? Could it be a map for going out?
All this cannot be determined before seeing the real thing. Maybe he lied, which is also possible.
"Holy shit, where the hell did it go? I even marked it, but it's gone!" Chen Jiansheng rummaged through the mound, but he couldn't find what he was talking about.
I wondered: "Chen Tugong, is it possible that you remembered it wrong? You thought something else was a yue? If you weren't the Emperor of Zhou, there would be no such thing in the tomb."
"Fuck," he glared at me: "I have been in the industry for more than ten years, how can I still admit my mistakes like that!"
Sister Hong also nodded in agreement, "It's empty talk."
Seeing that we didn't believe each other, he also got angry.
"Pull it down. Believe it or not, I still can't believe it. I can't find it!" He prepared to dig and turn over the soil again.
I shook my head and turned to look around.
The lighting is not good now and the surroundings are dim.
I couldn't see clearly. In the blur, I seemed to see a short black figure wearing a hat under a big tree about a hundred meters ahead. He was hiding behind the tree and peeking at our group.
"who!"
"Who's there!" I turned on the flashlight in panic.
"What's wrong, Yunfeng, what did you see?" Sister Hong was startled by my sudden voice.
Looking at it, there is nothing under the tree now.
"Sister Hong, I saw a black figure wearing a hat. He was very short, less than 1.5 meters tall," I said anxiously.
"The black figure wearing a hat? Very short? Yunfeng, are you too tired and your eyesight is dazzled?" Sister Hong glanced under the tree and shook her head, obviously not believing me.
I know my own situation best, so I firmly said that what I saw just now was correct, that I was not hallucinating, and that there was just a dwarf with a hat peeking at us.
Finally, I convinced Sister Hong and we decided to go to the big tree to investigate.
When we got to the place, there was nothing but flowers and plants around, and we didn't see any dwarfs wearing hats.
"Boy, I think you are just dazzled. What dwarf is there? Is there Snow White?" Chen Jiansheng teased me.
I was so angry that I just wanted to refute him.
"Wait." Sister Hong interrupted me.
"Look...look, what is that? Is it a footprint?"
Looking along where Sister Hong pointed, I saw a pair of very small footprints left on the soft soil, one size smaller than the three-inch golden lotus, and looked like those of a five or six-year-old child.
There are no shoes on these footprints.
There are only four toes and one thumb is missing.
