Hearing Liu Shiba's explanation, Cao Xiong felt inexplicably panicked and gritted his teeth and said:
"Eighteen, you kid, don't scare me."
Liu Shiba looked solemnly at the darkness ahead, turned his head and said with a strange smile:
"Old Cao, what I'm telling you is the truth. Think about it for yourself. The one who can bury this Japanese colonel and carve Japanese inscriptions must be Japanese.
This at least shows that the Japanese who were in this base were not dead.
Either the person who survived successfully escaped from here and returned to Japan, or this person continued deep into the ancient imperial tomb."
Cao Xiong had a gloomy face, squeezed the military thorn in his hand tightly, and remained silent...
Liu Shiba's analysis is not unreasonable. Otherwise, where did the Japanese on the base come from?
Ignoring Cao Xiong, Liu Shiba squatted down and looked at the Japanese words carefully again, but found nothing except that he could not understand them.
Liu Shiba rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and touched the back of the stone tablet. He accidentally discovered that there were some unevenness on the back of the stone tablet, so he put his head to take a closer look.
Through the light of the miner's lamp, Liu Shiba actually saw a row of ancient Chinese characters...
This font Liu Shiba is not unfamiliar, Xiaozhuan?
Cao Xiong stared at Liu Shiba. Hearing that there were words behind the stone tablet, he also looked over to take a look.
Cao Xiong pursed his lips and said disdainfully:
"The font is straight and round, with no cursing in the front and no backing in the back. This is Xiaozhuan!"
Liu Shiba nodded slightly, stood up and said with a smile:
"Lao Cao, you are really knowledgeable and talented. You also recognize Xiaozhuan. So why don't you come and recite it? So that the two of you won't get tired of reading it..."
Hearing Liu Shiba praise his erudition and talent, Cao Xiong couldn't help but smile, and he slowly squatted down to take a closer look at the stone tablet.
Cao Xiong frowned and read slowly:
"Look at Qingren City once, then look at Qingren Country..."
Cao Xiong recited, his voice gradually lowered, as if he was immersed in the content of the inscription.
Liu Shiba grinned and quickly patted Cao Xiong on the shoulder and said:
"Old Cao, please explain, what do you mean?"
Cao Xiong looked back at Liu Shiba, his eyes a little confused, and explained strangely:
"Looking at the beautiful city and then looking at the beautiful country, these two poems are ancient poems from the Han Dynasty and come from Li Yannian's Song of Beautiful Women.
The poem describes a beautiful woman who looks back so charmingly that all the men in the country turn their heads to take a look at her.
The allusion to the Chinese idiom "overwhelming the country and the city" comes from this beauty song.
However, this poem later became a portrayal of cursing beautiful women for causing harm to the country and the people, describing women who confuse the king and will overthrow the king's country."
Cao Xiong explained slowly!
Liu Shibaze's eyes moved and he asked curiously:
"The age of this stele, that is to say, it is at least the Han Dynasty? And then I don't know who used this ancient stele to make a makeshift stele for the Japanese colonel?"
"That's probably what it means!"
Cao Xiong frowned and nodded.
Liu Shiba tilted his head, stared at the black stone tablet thoughtfully, and asked fiercely:
"Where's the signature? There's no signature underneath that poem?"
"have!"
Cao Xiong sighed and responded slowly.
"Who signed the contract?"
Liu Shiba's eyes flashed sharply.
"Liu Yi!"
Cao Xiong had no choice but to answer truthfully.
"What? Liu Yi, say it again?"
Liu Shiba's eyes widened.
"That's right, it's the ancestor of your old Liu family, Liu Yi!"
Cao Xiong grinned.
Liu Shiba seemed to have figured out something, and walked back by himself, saying as he walked:
"I'll go back and call everyone over. Just wait here."
Cao Xiong nodded lightly and watched Lao Hei and Bi Yan follow Liu Shiba away...
………………
Ten minutes later, Liu Shiba took Ning Min'er, Zheng Weida, Sun Wenming, Tian Mingjian, Lu Xiaolin, and Ailian Hu back to the stone monument, only to find that the old man Cao Xiong was missing?
Old man Cao Xiong is so courageous. How dare you go forward alone?
Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong had gotten along so well, and naturally they had a lot of affection for each other. They hurriedly greeted the people gathered around the stone tablet to appreciate it and chased after them.
"Lao Hei, can you smell Lao Cao? Hurry up and chase him."
Along the way, Liu Shiba kept urging Lao Hei to find traces of Cao Xiong.
At this time, a group of people were getting closer and closer to the distant palace!
"Eighteen, don't worry, maybe Lao Cao is going to explore the way ahead?"
Ning Min'er comforted her softly.
"No, Lao Cao will not take risks alone for no reason. This old man is very timid."
Liu Shiba explained with a sullen face.
In the darkness, everyone searched several hundred meters further...
"Ouch!"
Lao Hei roared a few times in front of him, thinking he must have discovered something.
Liu Shiba turned on the miner's lamp and walked forward for more than ten meters. He saw Lao Hei standing in the middle of the corridor. On both sides of the corridor, he found countless collapsed corpses.
Some of these bones have long since weathered, some have turned into mummies, and all of them look hideous.
Some bones were lying on their backs with twisted faces; some were facing the earth, with their fingers dug into the soil. No matter what the posture was, it showed that these people had endured incomparable pain before they died.
"ah!"
Ning Miner, who followed later, screamed in surprise.
Elian Hu was the most courageous and cautiously squatted in front of several corpses and looked at them carefully.
"The age of these bones is actually different. Some are dressed in tattered linen clothes. They are probably labor prisoners of war who built the mausoleum at that time.
These men with short hair and military uniforms and 38 rifles in their hands looked like modern people and were probably Japanese soldiers.
The bones of these people have not rotted, and most of them are mummified corpses, which are well preserved, probably because the place is relatively dry."
Ai Lianhu was indeed a bandit, and he explained the origin of these bones in just a few words.
"There are footprints here. They are very fresh. They are the same as the soles of the hiking boots under our feet. They are Lao Cao's footprints. He walked past here..."
Then, Elian Hu added another sentence.
"Chase!"
Liu Shiba did not hesitate and said one word briefly.
…………
The group of people slowly explored forward in silence, Liu Shiba's face was a little gloomy.
He couldn't understand why his ancestor Liu Yi carved a black stone tablet here?
That poem that captivated the country was meant to commemorate a certain person?
Who do you want to commemorate in this dark ancient tomb?
And Lao Cao, why did he disappear alone after seeing the stone tablet?
Stone tablet?
Liu Shiba patted his head in annoyance. He didn't even read the small seal on the back of the stone tablet carefully. He just listened to the old man Cao Xiong's explanation?
"Everyone rest where you are for ten minutes. Zheng Weida and Lao Hei come with me. I will look back at the stone tablet."
Liu Shiba made a decision immediately.
………………
Ten minutes later, Liu Shiba took Ailian Hu and Lao Hei back to the strange black stone tablet half buried in the ground.
"Sticky, give me a light."
Liu Shiba squatted down and groped behind the stone tablet carefully to observe.
After a long time, Liu Shiba's fingers stopped, and then his face showed a look of daze and fear, and he read:
"Look at Qingren City, then look at Qingren Country...in memory of Concubine Shu, Princess Yushu?"
If any descendants or my descendants come here, please remember not to touch the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and disturb the evil spirits hidden in the pottery figurines.
There is a catastrophe ahead. Remember, it will bring great danger...
Signed: Liu Yi..."
