Chapter 485 The Ruins
There are some clues, but they are all broken things.After all, the reputation of Qiande Shangguo is not small, and it is not too long before its collapse, only a few hundred years, which is relatively recent in the similar legends in the Ice and Snow Northland.

So seeing such a story, there are naturally not a few people who also choose to explore and search.There are not one thousand but eight hundred.

In the end, no one cared about it gradually, and it was regarded as a real "story" that could not be explored further.

There are many such legends in the Ice and Snow Northland that only have some clues at the beginning, and all the end is a dead end. It can even be said that this kind of "story" is the protagonist.Those who can dig deep are rare.And as time goes by, the rarity will become more and more rare.And treasure hunters will gradually become history like the treasures they searched for.

But none of this has anything to do with Yang Rui.Others think it is a "pure story" without the potential and possibility to dig deeper.But it didn't agree with him.

Because just a place name mentioned in the story is enough to cheer him up and stop treating this record as a story.

Three Lines and Five Willows Village.

A strange place name.It is said that it is because there are many willow trees in the area.The willow trees that you can see at the first sight on the roadside entering the village are three rows, five in each row, hence the name.

But Yang Rui didn't see it that way.

Three elements and five willows?He felt that it was someone else's misreading, or someone deliberately changed a word in it, so that people who don't understand have nowhere to look it up, and people who really understand can see the strangeness at a glance.

"Three lines, five six, seven lines, one five, nine, nine, three, three, are for the door lock."

This sentence comes from a secret book.Or a collection of fragments of secret codes.It is a treasure kept secretly by Nanyuan Kingdom.Inside is the content of the most confidential part of the documents and documents that was searched for in the Qiande Kingdom.

And this sentence is actually a formula for unlocking an organ lock.According to the sixth and sixth five in the third row as the starting point, then turn the mechanism backwards in turn, and the mechanism lock can be opened at the end.And this organ lock was used to lock the gate of the core of Qiande Shangguo, the location of Wuchi.

As a member of the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom whose mission is to revive the glory of the Qiande Shang Kingdom, Yang Rui is naturally no stranger to these secret books about the Qiande Shang Kingdom.Back then, he had seen the remains of the mechanism lock, even if it was damaged, it was a large one, embedded in a half-foot-thick metal door.

Because it was the first time he saw such a big and strangely shaped "lock", Yang Rui remembered everything related to this lock very clearly.Among them are the formulas for unlocking the lock recorded in the secret book.

Three elements and five willows are actually talking about three elements, five and six!

Something is wrong with this village!
Yang Rui directly moved his luggage into this small village, and found a hospitable farmhouse willing to accept him as a resident so that he could inquire about news in the village.

This stay is more than three months.Relying on his decent handwriting, he helped the people in the village write letters and notices for the head of the village for free, and successfully got acquainted with the people in the village, which really allowed him to find some useful clues in his eyes: A copper turtle.

Turtles are not something that should exist in the Ice and Snow Northland at all.It's too cold here, I can't even live in the house.

However, various types of turtles are common in Beiwu Kingdom and Nanyuan Kingdom.And it is often used as a mascot of longevity to show on handles, picture scrolls, and jewelry.

And this copper turtle is said to have been accidentally picked up by an old woman when she went to the river to wash clothes many years ago.After brushing off the dirt on it, I thought it was gold at the time, but I found out that it was copper after looking for it.So they didn't sell it, but kept it as a plaything for the baby at home.

Later, some people also came to see the copper tortoise, but it was just for a look.

After Yang Rui got the copper tortoise, he understood why no one cared about the copper handle that appeared so suddenly in this village.Because the copper turtle doesn't have a single word or emblem on it.The image is also an image of an ordinary tortoise walking.This kind of thing is not uncommon in the South.It may be that a visitor from afar accidentally fell into the river and was washed over.

In addition, the creek where the turtle was found has been turned over long ago.After nothing was gained, no one mentioned this crop again.

But to Yang Rui, this tortoise is of great significance.

Because there are 27 pieces of tortoise shells on the back of this copper turtle, and [-] and a half pieces of shells on the abdomen!A total of forty and a half tablets.This number is the time of the reign of the first emperor of Qiande Shangguo.It was also regarded as an unwritten time discipline by the former royal family, and it was considered the most auspicious number.

Moreover, in the secret code of Nanyuan Kingdom, Xu Yegong, the ninth prince of Qiande Shang Kingdom, was born to be different from gold objects, and would develop a rash all over his body after touching them.Therefore, all objects that should be gold to show dignity are uniformly replaced by brass.

So in Yang Rui's eyes, this seemingly inconspicuous copper tortoise is most likely the possession of Xu Yegong, the ninth prince of Qiande Shang Kingdom.

Continuing to dig deeper, Yang Rui finally found something strange at the source of the stream behind the village where he picked up the copper turtle.

Yang Rui likes to read books, not only these historical essays from various places, but also likes to learn some minor methods when he was on the cliff mountain.Geography is one of them.

Although Yang Rui still has some superficial knowledge, it is still no problem to use it.

So Yang Rui discovered an unusual place at the source of the stream by means of geology, that is, the topography around the source of the stream has been artificially changed.Although there are no traces of carving on the surface, it is very rough and obvious when it comes to the orientation and essence of the earth.Yang Rui couldn't hide it.

After careful searching, an inconspicuous cave at the break of the terrain change became a breakthrough.Down the cave, a deep pool is the end.After sneaking in, I discovered that an underground undercurrent like a bay can reach the mountainside directly.The legendary treasure belonging to the Qiande Kingdom is hidden in the mountainside.

Even Yang Rui was surprised to find that the mountainside was not "just a cave structure" as he thought, but looked like a palace.The floor is made of floor tiles, and the walls are horizontal and vertical, with no raised stones.And there are many strange and never-before-seen stone carvings for decoration.

It's just that the scattered corpses on the ground show that this place is not a good place.

There are still some pieces of clothing and armor left on the corpse, as well as some remains of weapons, which are enough for Yang Rui to identify the source of these things.

"It's the standard weapon and soft armor of the Qiande Kingdom. I'm afraid this guy's status in the army is not low, at least he should be a general."

But after recognizing the corpses on the ground, a new question arises: How did these people die here?And still died in his own treasure?

Yang Rui looked at the strange stone carvings and architectural styles around him, and then looked at the corpse on the ground that most likely belonged to Xu Yegong, the Ninth Prince of Qiande Shang Kingdom. He suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.

"Maybe Xu Yegong, like me, is an intruder here?"
