Chapter 138 Liuhe Seal

I said: "Co-author, you just realized it now. I knew about it when Professor Lin said it. If there is no danger, are those four bald men standing out to see? Have you ever observed their hands?" , The tiger's mouth is covered with thick yellow calluses, which are the hands that only hold guns all year round. I am afraid that there will be many dangers when going to Time and Space Island this time. But you only need to remember one thing."

Tofu asked, "Which one?"

"If you are in danger, run."

Tofu said: "You don't need to remind me of this, hey..." He pointed to the three people playing cards not far away, and said, "If you don't interfere, that kid will eat Gu Damei's tofu." When I saw it, it was Professor Lin's male student, wearing black-rimmed glasses, named Wu Sidong. He acted a little shy, and couldn't hide the way he looked at Gu Wenmin. Anyone could tell what he was thinking.

At this moment, I was slowly approaching Gu Wenmin by playing poker. When Tofu reminded me, I got angry and walked over immediately. I sat between the two of them and said calmly, "I'll come to play too."

Wu Sidong was so angry that he almost didn't recite it, and stammered: "Didn't you say you didn't want to play before? We are fighting landlords, and fighting landlords only needs three people."

I was about to speak, but Gu Wenmin smiled, put down the cards, sat behind me, and said, "You guys play, I'll watch from the side."

Wu Sidong, an innocent young man, saw Gu Wenmin treat me like a little bird, his face turned blue, his lips trembled, his eyebrows drooped, he put down his cards and left.

On the contrary, Gu Wenmin was a little puzzled, and without realizing it, asked in doubt: "What's wrong with him?"

Duan Fei's girl was very strange, she covered her mouth and snickered, and said: "He's heartbroken, let's play, ignore him." The time on the boat was boring, we played cards, Hu Tianhai chatted nonsense, and it was over in a blink of an eye. At night, at this moment, we are already completely in the sea, and we can't see the land in front, back, left, and right. Only at this time, the people began to gather around the deck to blow the sea breeze.

The feeling of being on the sea is different from having fun at the seaside. Even if our boat is more than 20 meters long, it is too insignificant compared with the vast sea.The vast ocean, on the contrary, calms our restless hearts. It seems that it is not so important to know what unknown dangers are waiting for us ahead.

As night approached, strong winds blew up on the sea, dark turbulence arose, and the ship was no longer as stable as before.It is a kind of enjoyment to blow the sea breeze on a summer night. Everyone gathered at the bow of the boat to chat and talk, and then heard Tofu's whim, and said: "I see some diving equipment in the cabin. Since Professor Lin once said that there are treasures of shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea, why don't we go along with it?" come over."

I thought that what Tofu said was too clear. Are the three archaeologists on board transparent?So I said: "Didn't you talk about hydrophobia a few days ago? Could it be that the hydrophobia is gone now?" Tofu was about to speak when someone asked us to eat. When we turned around, it was a dark-skinned, dressed A girl in short clothes and shorts, with average looks and tall stature, looks quite strong, she should be the crew of the carp.

She invited us into the cabin for dinner. She made mackerel stewed with potatoes in a pot. The mackerel was so big that it took two pots to fill it. We sat in two groups and we could tell the difference after sitting up.The four bald heads and the carp gathered in a pot.Our group sat around with Professor Lin and the others. People on both sides talked about their own things, and there was not much conversation.

At this time, I remembered what I hadn't finished talking about during the day. At that time, Professor Lin only said that he was going to Space-Time Island to find Xu Fu's tomb, but he didn't say what he wanted to do by digging his tomb.Taking advantage of the break between meals, I put this question out again. Professor Lin had already organized his words and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about how to tell you about this matter. This time I went to Xu Fu's tomb. We are actually looking for something." He fumbled in his pocket a few times while talking, then took out a small notebook that he carried with him, opened one of the pages, and saw a figure drawn with a pen on the notebook .

It was a square thing, like a seal, with very strange characters engraved on the bottom, and the structure was relatively simple.

Professor Lin pointed to that thing and said, "It's what we're looking for, the 'Liuhe Seal'."

Tofu said, "The Seal of Liuhe? Does it mean that King Qin sweeps Liuhe?" Professor Lin looked kindly, and said, "That's right, Xiao Dou is very smart."

Tofu immediately raised his head and said proudly, "Of course, he graduated from a prestigious university, so the quality is guaranteed."

I said, "Aren't all the graduates from prestigious universities these days like you?"

Tofu said angrily: "You are jealous, you profiteer, you have nothing but money! Oh, by the way, you don't even have money now."

When it comes to lip service, Tofu is definitely no match for me, just as he was about to block him back, Gu Wenmin said dumbfoundedly: "Okay, okay, why do you two get into trouble every chance you have, Chen Xuan, I can warn you, you can't grow old Bullying Xiaodou."

Professor Lin chuckled a few times and said, "Young people, it's good to be energetic. When I was young, I was much more noisy than you..." As soon as he changed the subject, he began to recall the past again. We are not good either. Interrupted, while eating, I listened to him talk about going to the mountains and going to the countryside in the past. After listening for half an hour, I finally came back to my senses under Gu Wenmin's hint, and continued to tell us about Liuheyin.

It is said that this is the treasure seal of Qin Shihuang. According to legend, at the beginning of the first emperor's campaign against the six kingdoms, a god-man entrusted him with a dream at night, saying that the first emperor was destined to rule the world, so he sent a gift to help the king of Qin. You know, it means sweeping the world and unifying the world.In fact, at the beginning, the academic circle did not pay much attention to this unofficial history record. Almost every generation of emperors with more meritorious deeds has encountered similar things, but they just followed suit and increased their social status.It is said that when Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was born, the sky was full of brilliance, surrounded by auspicious clouds, and a golden dragon appeared among the clouds. In fact?But his chickens hatched.

There will be a legend about the god granting the seal, which is probably an excuse made by the King of Qin himself. The ancients firmly believed that there were gods in the world, and they valued the power of the king very much. Therefore, with the seal of the gods and men, the King of Qin can be very blatant. Said: "Look, look, I want to wipe out the six kingdoms and become the emperor. It's a matter of God's destiny. The gods have given me gifts, and you still don't surrender obediently."

For legends like these, the academic world can tell which ones are true and which ones are false at a glance, so no one pays attention to them. Such unrealistic and useless legends rarely appear in textbooks, which are relatively unpopular. Little known.

But the reason for suddenly looking for this thing that is likely to be fictional is still related to the information that Professor Lin obtained 20 years ago.It was a relatively involved matter, involving a colleague of Professor Lin's archaeological field.That colleague has been obsessed with maritime archaeology all his life, and he obtained the material in a seabed salvage.

The details are so intricate that it was a long story, and Professor Lin didn't mention it in detail.

According to the handbook, when Xu Fu went to sea, he took the seal of Liuhe with him, because Liuhe symbolized the first emperor's visit, so he respected the immortals on Penglai Xiandao.The historical value of this Liuhe seal is very great, because it not only came from the hands of Qin Shihuang, but most importantly, if it is really excavated in Time and Space Island, it will reveal a lot of historical truth.It can be said that this thing is definitely a national treasure.

And the reason why I found my tofu this time is because Professor Lin has a lump in his heart.

He has participated in the excavation of many ancient tombs, and once excavated a "fairy tomb" in Shandong.

The so-called fairy tomb refers to the tomb of a relatively famous alchemist and Taoist in ancient times. During the excavation of that fairy tomb, many unimaginable things were encountered, which could not even be explained by modern technology and tomb robbery.That excavation work even caused casualties, so it had to be stopped, and the soil was refilled and buried.

Professor Lin's voice was not loud, but the meaning was obvious. Although the four bald heads were strictly trained official robbers with impeccable skills and intelligence, they had to use traditional methods to deal with certain traditional things.Xu Fu himself is a very famous alchemist in history. If there is something evil in his tomb, the machine guns and instruments in the hands of the four bald heads may not be of much use.

When it is necessary, some secret techniques in the tomb robbery industry are also needed.

The situation is different now. Those Tufuzi who have become popular have either formed a family, formed a faction, or have their own small gang. Such Tufuzi are different from decades ago, and it is impossible to cooperate with the archaeological team. .And those thieves who are easy to win over don't have any real skills. When Professor Lin was frowning, he heard Gu Wenmin talk about the situation between me and Tofu, and he was overjoyed.

First of all, Tofu and I belonged to loose robbers, that is, local masters who have no factions and work alone.Secondly, I am a descendant of Chen Siyuan. Even if I have little experience, there are still many theories out there.In addition, Gu Wenmin wanted to cleanse me and Tofu, so in front of Professor Lin, he even boasted about me, using all the nice words.

Adding up these multiple relationships, the right candidates in Professor Lin's mind were me and Tofu.

Hearing this, I finally had no doubts in my heart. I thought that the voyage to Time and Space Island would take five days, and it would take half a month to go back and forth.

The big mackerel itself has a salty taste, boiled in water, sprinkled with dried chili and fish oil, the taste is naturally delicious.

The dark-skinned crew girl was named Ah Ying, and she made us some beer along the way. Everyone ate and drank, feeling very comfortable.Tofu patted his belly and sighed, "No need to go on mountain roads, no need to sleep in the open, and you can eat and drink. It's too easy to dig these mushrooms. Old Chen, why don't we dig dry mushrooms in the future, let's dig water mushrooms instead."
