Tomb Raiders in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 77 "Rust" on the back of the knife

At least it is certain that there is no problem here.

"Brother Zhang, you really use your body as bait!"

Li Mojin turned back, and his face turned pale after seeing Zhang Faqiu's actions.

"Don't worry, I'm fast, that thing can't bite me!" Zhang Faqiu laughed, "Have you found any entrance?"

"I really found it!" Li Mojin laughed.

"This is obviously what I found!" Li Changkun's voice came from behind.

"Xiaoqing, let's go!" Zhang Faqiu didn't listen to the two guys talking nonsense here, Fangzheng ended up...found it!

Appearing in front of Zhang Faqiu is a cave with a height of more than two meters. This cave is more than two meters high from the ground. If you don't pay attention to it, you may not be able to find it if you walk under it.

"I'll go up and have a look first, and if I encounter any danger, I can avoid it in advance!" Zhang Faqiu said, and Li Changkun and a few soldiers began to move over stones and lay them on the ground.

Zhang Faqiu waved his hand: "No need!"

After saying this, Zhang Faqiu clasped the stone wall hard, and the whole person came to the edge of the cave.

"This is Sun Houzi's upper body!" Li Mojin looked enviously and said, and the rest of the people also nodded in agreement.

However, people on both sides think completely differently. The grandson that Li Mojin said is Monkey King, and the grandson that Li Changkun and the others think is a monkey spirit...

This kind of generation gap cannot be easily eliminated, after all, the age difference between the two peoples is thousands of years...

Zhang Faqiu squinted his eyes and looked around. The main thing he wanted to see was whether the cave was formed naturally or artificially.

This is easy to distinguish. If it is artificially driven, even thousands of years in the past, traces of population operations can be found on the rock wall.

Sure enough, Zhang Faqiu saw traces of artificial excavation on the rock wall.

"Throw a stone up!" Zhang Faqiu turned his head and shouted, Li Mojin seemed to have prepared it in advance, and threw it up casually.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Faqiu grabbed the muddy stone with a snap.

Weighing it a few times, the stone weighed about two or three catties. Zhang Faqiu threw it into the cave without thinking about it.

This is asking for directions!
Since it is a man-made rock wall, there must be some mechanism traps there.

And this mechanism trap requires a slight force to trigger it.So in the field of going to the ground, a small stone can be used to detect whether there is any danger in the road ahead.

Zhang Faqiu's arm strength is very strong, throwing a three-two-jin stone from his hand is like throwing a small stone.

Watching the stone disappear into the darkness, Zhang Faqiu carefully observed the changes around the rock wall, everything was as usual.

"Could it be that I was too careful?" Zhang Faqiu laughed at himself, then turned over and slid down the cave.

"Brother Zhang, what's going on inside?"

Li Mojin didn't wait for Zhang Faqiu to talk, and he had already joined in.

Zhang Faqiu slapped Li Mojin's face away: "Get away!"

"There is a man-made cave here. I don't know where it leads, but according to my guess, it is very likely to be a passage leading to the other side of this mountain range."

"But... don't you think this channel set is too casual?" Li Mojin asked in disbelief.

Zhang Faqiu thought about it for a while, then suddenly looked at Zhou Chang and asked: "You said that you are a land protector passed down from generation to generation by your ancestors, but have you never heard of any legends about this Feixing Ridge?"

"Legend..." Zhou Chang's face showed a look of reminiscence, and then his eyes lit up: "Hey, I couldn't remember it at first, but after Grandpa River God said that, I really thought of a legend here."

Many things that actually happened in history have become legends because only a few people still remember them because they are too old.

Zhang Faqiu said: "Don't worry, think slowly, you must be careful."

These words made Zhou Chang blush: "There is no such thing as being careful, but when I was a child, I heard from my father that there was a dragon here in ancient times that wanted to jump up the dragon gate, but because it killed too much, the sky lowered it. The mountain range behind us suppresses him here...By the way, didn't Cai Lao Er just say this?"

"That's it?" Zhang Faqiu was a little disappointed, "Is there anything else?"

"This?" Zhou Chang showed a pensive expression on his face again: "It is indeed gone!"

Li Mojin suddenly winked at Zhang Faqiu, and Zhang Faqiu understood, so he said to the crowd: "You all wait here, Da Li and I will go around and see if there are caves like this in other places .”

When many soldiers heard what Zhang Faqiu said, they naturally wouldn't have any objections, and Zhang Faqiu also said before that the rock wall here is safe, and they all leaned against the edge of the rock and took a rest.

After the two walked away, Li Mojin said: "Brother Zhang, I think this matter is getting more and more complicated."

"Oh?" Zhang Faqiu asked, "What did you find?"

With one hand on the rock wall, Li Mojin looked back at Zhang Faqiu and said, "Brother Zhang, you and my brothers appeared in this world. I don't know if it's a coincidence or destiny, but since we appeared in this world , then you have to figure it out and understand what you are here for."

"It's useless." Zhang Faqiu rolled his eyes: "Neither you nor I are made for philosophy."

A smile appeared on Li Mojin's face: "Come on, I just deliberately used a philosophical thinking proposition to elicit what I'm going to say next!"

"shit!"

Zhang Faqiu commented unceremoniously.

Li Mojin was not annoyed either: "Aren't you surprised, why is it that Guan Yu escaped in this legend? This is too much of a coincidence."

"Haven't you heard of it? It's only been a few decades in this land, and you will catch up with a flood once. People with long lives probably have seen it three or four times." Zhang Faqiu said, recalling the previous incident. What old man Zhang said.

At this time, he couldn't help but lifted the Zhang family's ancient knife straddling his waist and checked it in his hand.

"Huh?" After looking at it, Zhang Faqiu found that there seemed to be something on this ancient knife handed down from his family!
"A broken knife, what's so good about it!" Li Mojin snorted, but after three or four breaths, Zhang Faqiu was still staring at the ancient knife handed down by his ancestors!

"Hey! I said Master Zhang, is the three-point picture of *** printed on this broken knife?" Li Mojin joked, but saw Zhang Faqiu raised a very serious face!
By the way, he also brought the ancient knife handed down from the Zhang family ancestors in his hand to Li Mojin.

"look carefully!"

Li Mojin glanced at it casually: "I've said it all, this thing is worthless, at most it can be sold as a few dozen taels of silver."

"Bullshit! You kid, look at this knife, it looks like rust veins!" Zhang Faqiu was a little speechless, couldn't this guy have something else in his mind besides things that can be sold and things that can't be sold? ?

After Zhang Faqiu said this, Li Mojin squinted his eyes and looked at it. After three or four breaths, Li Mojin's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"Did you see it?" Zhang Faqiu smiled, and there seemed to be some anticipation in his eyes.

"I see!" Li Mojin nodded, then scratched the back of his head with some embarrassment, and then said: "But... Brother Zhang, this thing is really worthless!"

"You!" Zhang Faqiu couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to slap this guy, but he was afraid that his slap would be too heavy. Gritting his teeth and enduring it, he stretched out a middle finger and pointed at Li Mojin, and then pointed at the rust-like lines on the back of the knife:

"Look carefully, is this place the mountain range we see now, lying on Feixing Ridge like a city wall!"

Li Mojin looked at the position Zhang Faqiu pointed at, and opened his mouth in surprise: "Really! Brother Zhang, you are simply a genius... No, why is the rust on the knife the same as the mountain here?" Does it match the topography?"

Li Mojin finally found a little problem.

Zhang Faqiu said: "It goes without saying that someone made it on purpose. As far as I know, when the ancients forged swords, they had a very special technique. It looks like we used glass to frame them in later generations. It's the same thing, the Yue King Goujian sword was forged in this way."

The ancient forging technology is amazing, but many methods have been lost.

"My brother, doesn't that mean that this precious knife is very valuable!" Li Mojin immediately returned to his original face, staring at the precious knife in Zhang Faqiu's hand "squinting, squinting".

Zhang Faqiu rolled his eyes, he had almost forgotten how many times he had rolled his eyes today.

"Don't you ask, why did the person who made this knife put this thing on the back of the knife?" Zhang Faqiu pondered.

"Isn't that simple?" Li Mojin said: "According to common sense, this is to provide a way for future generations. Let's carefully analyze the mountain-shaped landform above... Where are he and mother!"

While Li Mojin was speaking, he poked a spot on the back of the knife with his finger. Zhang Faqiu glanced at it. This spot should be behind the mountain like a city wall.

But... from above, the pattern is too blurry, and it is impossible to see what it is...

"That's not right. You want to say that the person who made this ancient knife wanted to give a way to future generations. Why did it make it so blurry, and it looked like it was rusted, that is, the old Zhang family enshrined it as a treasure. Others, put it on a whetstone to sharpen their knives, and the rust will wear it off!"

"Grind the knife and it will be worn off?" Zhang Faqiu glanced at Li Mojin contemptuously, and looked for it on the ground with his head down. A piece of sandstone appeared in Zhang Faqiu's eyes. Zhang Faqiu picked it up, and used his strength All of them rubbed against each other on this isolated island.

If it was rust, it would naturally be rubbed off, but... as Zhang Faqiu sharpened his knife vigorously, the so-called rust became more and more clear...
