Doomsday gangsters travel through the 50s

Chapter 507 Chapter [-] True and False Inheritance
"I just suggest to suspend the exploration. Of course, if you still want to go after a while, you can apply for another archaeological operation." Ji Wenlin could see Professor Hu's reluctance, but the situation in the ancient city is unknown, at least you have to wait until it is safe to go. .

Professor Hu knew that Ji Wenlin's suggestion was the most reasonable, but he always felt that he had come all the way this time, but he was about to leave without even touching him, and he was somewhat unwilling.

"Yeah, Professor Hu, you don't even know, we just came out of the city wall, boy, there was a bang, and the dust and smoke were so thick that we couldn't see clearly, and when we were under the underground palace, we did see magma. A volcano is in danger of erupting at any time." Although Yu Feng's words were a bit alarmist, they really wanted to dispel Professor Hu's idea of ​​going to the ancient city again.

"Forget it, let's wait for a while after we go back." Professor Hu can also see that these people who have been there will never want to go back, and after he knows that Tang Yulou has died, he also Knowing that the danger in the ancient city may be more severe than originally estimated.

Although the military department also sent a team of escorts for this archaeological trip, Professor Hu is also very clear that if there are not enough experts in the team for the task of exploring the tomb in the underground palace, I am afraid that there will be no gains in the end. It may add innocent sacrifices, which he does not want to see.

Seeing that Professor Hu finally let go, Yu Feng and the others couldn't help but feel relieved. It wasn't because they were afraid to go again, but because they felt that the place was not safe right now. If they hurried back now, something might happen. They knew there was something wrong. It is not brave, but brainless.

After the idea of ​​going to the ancient city is pressed, the plan to return to Yun Province will be put on the agenda. However, because Xiganggou is also very archaeologically significant, Professor Hu finally decided to stay for a while before leaving. Everyone did not object to this, and Lao Gu and his clansmen also welcomed it very much.

There is a saying that there are no Jiazi in the mountains, and the year is not known when the cold is gone.For Xia Yanru and the others, the life in the mountains is indeed isolated from the outside world, except that Lao Gu will bring some news from the village below the mountain every once in a while, basically they are cooperating with Professor Hu to conduct a detailed survey of Xiganggou.

Through the survey during this period, Professor Hu felt more and more that this trip was worthwhile, and at the same time, he regretted not being able to enter the underground palace of the ancient city with Xia Yanru and the others, because he believed that there was definitely an older civilization inheritance there.

Of course, apart from Professor Hu's fruitful harvest during this period, Xia Yanru and the others have also learned more information, one of which is the legend about riding the yellow bone.

In fact, the legend of riding the yellow bone is only aimed at foreigners. In fact, the people here in Xiganggou are very clear from the beginning to the end. It has always been a misunderstanding about riding the yellow bone. There has never been a sacred beast that can ride a thousand years of life.

After all, there was a day of parting in Xiganggou. On the night before he was about to leave, Lao Gu rushed back from the mountain, leaving aside the initial misunderstanding and vigilance towards Xia Yanru and his party. During the next month of getting along, Lao Gu I also know that this pedestrian is actually a sincere person.

He is the last generation of tomb guards. After he dies, there will be no new tomb guards. After the collapse, I knew that my grandfather's prophecy had finally come true.

Before Lao Gu officially took over the duties of the tomb keeper, he was innocent and carefree, and he was devoted to the outside world, and even lived outside for a long time, until it was time to hand over the tomb keeper When he was in office, he returned to Xiganggou and stopped going out.

And his predecessor was his grandfather. Here, the tomb keeper has always been handed down from generation to generation, so his father and uncle never had the chance to become the tomb keeper. Sometimes he envied him, but he never regretted it.

Before his grandfather passed away, he told him about a prophecy passed down from generation to generation by the tombkeeper. The next time Xia Yanru and others appeared, besides vigilance and precautions, he actually had some expectations in his heart.

Until Xia Yanru and the others came out of the ancient city and brought news about the possible collapse of the ancient city, Lao Gu knew that the ancient city was not likely to collapse, but actually collapsed. Even if Professor Hu and the others wanted to do archaeology again in the future, they had to estimate There will be no gain.

In the prophecy that his grandfather told him, it was mentioned that the royal city will always sink into darkness, and the clansmen will usher in a new life.In the past, he thought that this so-called new life was just due to the change of dynasties and the rise of a new society. Now, it seems that they finally no longer need to guard the ancient city without people, especially the grave guards that have been passed down from generation to generation. .

"This is?" Xia Yanru took the wooden box from Lao Gu with some surprise. The wooden box looked old and the carvings on it were extremely delicate.

"I know that you are here to find Bai Minguo. If you guess correctly, you are looking for Bai Min's inheritance, this is it." Old Gu's eyes were dim, "You should know now, Bai Minguo The true inheritance is not about riding on yellow bones, it is actually what is in this wooden box."

Xia Yanru raised her eyebrows slightly, but she didn't explain that they didn't come here this time because of some so-called inheritance. This was Ji Yu's plan before his death and had nothing to do with them.

But seeing the other party deliver such an important thing to the door with such sincerity, it would be a lie to say that she was not curious, so Xia Yanru pretended to be calm and did not reveal too much, and looked at the wooden box very carefully.

This wooden box uses a built-in lock mechanism. If you can't find the trick, it will be difficult to open unless you remove it violently. However, once you choose violent removal, it is very likely that the contents inside will be damaged.

Looking at Lao Gu's appearance, he obviously knows what's inside, and he thinks so. After all, as a tomb keeper, he must know and understand more than other ordinary people. He doesn't even know how the wooden box was passed down to him. How many generations have passed, and during this period, some people must have opened it curiously.

Xia Yanru quickly figured out the key to unlocking the lock under the eyes of the other party watching the show. Although this kind of hidden lock is extremely delicately designed, it is not completely impossible for her.

"Is this jade?" Xia Yanru looked at the wooden box, then looked up at Gu, and asked with some uncertainty.

"It's called Qilin Stone, but it looks like jade on the outside, but it's actually an extremely rare insect egg." Lao Gu replied.

"What's its function?" Xia Yanru had never heard of Qilin Stone, but if she took these three words apart and looked at them, she knew that Qilin was an ancient mythical beast.
