[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for successfully checking in on the ancient warship. 】
Holy shit, how long has it been? Is this system alive again?
It’s been quite a long time. It feels quite familiar to hear the system voice.
However, the system was just a program and ignored Wu Suowei.
[Ding, congratulations to the system for receiving the system gift package, a boundary breaking talisman. (The system specifies the crossing location, note: this is not cultivation.)]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining three gold medals. ]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Frost Moon Dagger. ]
Holy shit, this is even possible???
System, what do you mean by this?
Can I still go home?
[Ding, reminding the host that the restarted world is the host's original world. ]
Well, that’s what I said, it’s not so easy to go back.
However, it is useless to give me this gold-grabbing talisman. I haven't even used the Fa Qiu seal yet, and you are giving me the gold-grabbing talisman. Aren't there only three gold-grabbing talismans? Two are in the hands of Queqiao Shao, and one is in the hands of Jin Suanpan.
But the world is different, so there is no need to care about these. Besides, the system also gave me the Fa Qiu Seal, which is also from before the Ming Dynasty. What about the ten Mojin Fu?
Looking at the gold-touching talisman in the system backpack, the front end is sharp, the lower end is cone-shaped, inlaid with gold thread, the color is dark and transparent, and it shines moistly under the firelight. The lower end of the cone is inlaid with several terpenes of gold thread, forming a "translucent pattern" style, and the talisman carries the two ancient seal characters "Mojin".
Okay, it'll come in handy someday.
Hanyue Dagger, what kind of dagger is this?
But the system's products are top-notch. It looks OK, and the chill is overwhelming.
We have a dagger now, not bad. The Minghong sword is good, but it cannot be used in narrow places. This is good.
The system reward only took a moment. At this time, the fat man was looking forward to a slightly higher cabin. The space inside was as exquisitely built as a pavilion.
The fat man went in and started searching. Wilderness survival tools, hot water bottles, broken kettles, a compass that was spinning so fast, and a fish skin knife, etc. These things were worth a lot of money in that era, but now they can be bought for dozens of yuan.
"What a piece of crap this is!" The fat man's forehead was so wrinkled that it stuck to his chin after he got in.
"It should be left by the archaeological team. This thing is really useful to Tian Zhen." Wu Suowei said while standing outside the cabin.
"That should be the case. Hey, this is a big one, and it's quite heavy."
The fat man, who was frowning, suddenly smiled and took out a large black package that someone had hidden in the cabin.
I couldn't wait to open it and see if there was any treasure inside.
Shine the flashlight on the bag, "He's still hiding it, like he's afraid someone will see it."
With a swish sound, the zipper of the black package was unzipped. The first thing inside was a diving mask. It was worthless, so he put it aside. He then took out a sharkskin water cushion and flipped it over carefully. There was a note sewn on it.
"Qi Jin."
"Is this a person's name? This person is quite stingy. He even put his name on the water bank, as if he was afraid that someone would wear it."
Wu Suowei looked at the clothes in the fat man's hand and immediately found it very interesting.
Others may not know, but Wu Suowei knows that Qi Jin is the sweetheart of Wu Xie's second uncle.
Hehe, if I bring this dress to that old fox Wu Erbai, what kind of expression would he have?
Wu Suowei couldn't help but chuckle. The fat man was already used to this.
"This person should also be a member of the 044 archaeological team." Wu Suowei did not tell anyone that Qi Jin was Wu Erbai's dream lover.
The fat man pondered for a while and asked in confusion. "Wu Sanxing, Yang Daguang, Mu Xuehai, Chen Wenjin, Qi Jin. Damn, I didn't find this treasure, but the list of the archaeological team is complete."
The fat man was counting on his fingers.
"Tian Zhen, didn't you say that there would be clues about your uncle's escape in the main hall? But after all the hard work, we got here and there's nothing. Where's my big baby?"
The fat man immediately started yelling hysterically.
The fat man's shout was very loud, and was infinitely amplified under the bronze bell.
What what what what~
The sound kept echoing in the ears of Fatty and Wu Suowei, making Wu Suowei's blood boil.
The fat man on the side was in even worse condition. He stuck his head into the deep well of the boat plank and struggled for a while...
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Fatty, Little Wu, what's wrong with you?"
When Wu Xie heard the noise above, he felt a little panicked.
The fat man covered his ears with his hands and stood up: "Oh my god, I didn't use much strength. This is too cruel, this bell sound is going to kill people!"
"It can be placed in the main tomb chamber. Can this thing be compared to other places?"
After Wu Suowei's voice fell, the fat man shook his head to clear the noise in his ears.
"This thunder collection device is much more powerful than the one in Yang Daguang's treasure cave. I just shouted softly, and this big device amplified the sound immediately. It made me numb from the top of my head to my heels!"
"You see, listening to thunder here is like committing suicide, isn't it? It's not scientific. We're going down. We dare not stay here." The fat man pointed at the big bell.
“No, no, no, Fatty, Third Uncle usually hides things downwards, you guys try looking again!” Wu Xie quickly waved his hands to stop the two.
"Down there?" Wu Suowei frowned, then he pressed his feet down on the deck, where there was a hollow space.
Wherever there is a hollow space, there is a mezzanine. After testing, he walked towards the mezzanine.
Just as he was about to grab down, Wu Suowei's hand stopped. On top of this layer was a layer of leather. It went without saying that it was made of human skin.
He resisted the urge to push aside the leather covering the top, opened the deck, and saw boxes of tapes in the box.
"How is it? Did you find anything?" Wu Xie asked with anxiety in his voice.
"Yes, you know your third uncle well. But your third uncle is a monster. A bunch of tapes, is he going to kill us?" Wu Suowei's tone was both praise and exaggeration.
There were so many tapes, so packed together that I was afraid they would get mixed up. I numbered each one, and it would take hours to finish listening to all of them.
"Oh my god, this is going to kill me." The fat man was confused again when he looked at the tape. This Third Uncle is a fucking monster.
He let out a long sigh. He couldn't do without this thing, but he was afraid to bring it. The fat man picked up the tape and wanted to say that your uncle was the one who was accused of confession. After thinking for a second, he quickly changed his words and said, "The one who was accused of confession is the tape!"
"Fatty, bring it down quickly." Wu Xie, who was standing on the ground, had a happy look on his face, and he wished the tape would fly to him immediately.
"Wait, wait a moment. Let me calm down first. Ah~ it's too scary." After the fat man shouted, he sent him down reluctantly.
In the pitch-black main tomb, Wu Suowei sat among the tapes holding a porcelain teacup and handed the tapes to Wu Xie one by one.
Wu Xie kept rewinding and fast-forwarding the tape with his hands.
I don't know how many tapes were placed on the ground.
Unfortunately, none of these tapes can be played as they have all been demagnetized.
"What's the point of listening to a bunch of empty tapes? Just give up, naive. They've been demagnetized. There's nothing in them. Why are you listening to them?"
Fatty saw this and wanted to dissuade Wu Xie.
The fat man said speechlessly: "If you have time, come down with me and take a look. There might be the information you want down there. I really admire you." "What did Third Uncle and the others do here back then? Why were the sounds of these tapes demagnetized? Did someone destroy this clue?"
The fat man lowered his head and thought deeply. Although he said some unpleasant words, he was still very concerned about the clues on the tape.
Ignoring Fatty, Wu Xie took Wu Suowei to listen to all the tapes from beginning to end.
"This is impossible, how could everything be demagnetized? Uncle San wouldn't leave the demagnetized things to me, it doesn't make sense." Wu Xie pressed his hands on his temples.
No matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure out what his uncle was trying to do this time. The tapes had been demagnetized, and there was nothing on them except some scratchy stuff.
After listening to Wu Xie's words, Wu Suowei also thought for a while.
This question stumped him, and Wu Suowei couldn't explain it clearly. He immediately remembered Wu Xie's words, that his third uncle always hid things underneath.
Underneath? Underneath the tape? Underneath the tape. Is there something under the tape?
I picked up the tapes I had listened to before and twisted them with my hands. The tapes felt heavy, but I don’t know if it was an illusion.
He felt the heaviness of these tapes over and above the lightness and clarity of ordinary tapes.
Wu Suowei quickly took out a tape from another bag, opened it and compared it.
The new tape I got has two layers. No wonder there is no sound after listening to it for so long. The top layer has no sound at all. It is completely new. The sound is hidden underneath.
"Wu Xie, Wu Xie, no wonder I couldn't hear anything. There's a layer underneath, and there's a belt inside."
After the voice fell, Wu Xie looked at Wu Suowei with excitement. He wondered how many of his exhausted brain cells this small discovery had saved.
"Two, so that's it, so that's it. Now everything is explained, thanks to you." Wu Xie said excitedly.
"Okay, okay, let's do it quickly." Wu Suowei said.
Wu Xie agreed, and then turned his eyes, which could no longer see anything, to Fatty: "Fatty, Fatty!"
Wu Xie called out several times to the back of the water, but there was no movement, and he began to look anxious.
As for connecting tapes, except for the fat guy who made a lot of money by trading tapes, no one else had any experience in dealing with tapes for a long time.
"Here I come, here I come, I'm peeing." The fat man came over.
"Hurry up, Tian Zhen has a job for you to do. There are two layers of tape that need you to roll them up." Wu Suowei said after taking a sip of water.
"Oh, he begged me? Isn't this too difficult? This is a craft." The fat man smiled.
After the voice fell, Wu Xie, who was sitting next to him, turned around and said: "Is this difficult for an experienced master like you? You are so naughty."
"It's difficult, harder than climbing to heaven, but since you've asked me sincerely, I will definitely help you do it!" He went over and took a look at the tape. Sure enough, there were two of them: "Did you remove the top one?"
"Yes, yes, yes, and then roll up the hidden one." Wu Xie nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Okay! I guarantee that I'll complete the mission." Fatty sat next to Wu Xie and started to work.
The fat man was indeed experienced and he quickly prepared a tape, installed it on the recorder, and the sound came out.
"Today is my last day in this main hall. When I get out, I will no longer be myself. I never thought that there would be such a shocking secret in this world."
"This secret is hidden in this room, and only I know this secret. It was a coincidence that I discovered this secret, but I think it was all destined."
Shocking secret?
Everyone frowned as they listened. The tape contained a lot of information and it was a heavyweight clue. The voice coming from the tape was that of Mu Xuehai.
In other words, if we solve the secret he mentioned, we can speculate what happened in the underground palace and their next plans.
The sound continued.
"I always felt that the echo of thunder in this underground palace was like someone calling me."
"I told some of them about this, but no one in the archaeological team believed me. They said I was in a trance and that I was crazy."
When the voice reached this point, Fatty glanced at Wu Xie. He looked just like Mu Xuehai in the voice, who seemed to be possessed by thunder.
If you keep listening like this, who knows what bad things might happen.
As he thought about it, he reached out his hands, trying to turn off the recorder.
But he was stopped by Wu Suowei. At this point, there was no way to stop Wu Xie from listening to the thunder, because there were clues about his third uncle.
In his heart, Third Uncle was closer to him than his own father. Moreover, his illness was so serious that no matter how unhappy he was, it would easily affect his mood and indirectly aggravate his condition.
“I am fascinated by this sound. I always feel that there is some message in it. The sound is very strange, but there is a strange attraction. It seems that the thunder is reminding me of something.
“I don’t know why, but I can hear some murals very clearly in front of some murals, but not so clearly in front of others. I think it’s the thunder that makes me pay attention to these murals, and these murals are telling me something.
"I am very well versed in mural research, and I suddenly felt that these murals were saying something, and they wanted me to know their secrets."
"Wu Sanxing is a very persistent person, so persistent that his mind won't change. He has been exploring secrets by listening to thunder. But I am different. These murals are calling me. I found that these murals are connected. After cutting some of them and putting them together, it turned out to be a map pointing to a place, Thunder City!"
Hearing this, the recorder was turned off by Wu Xie, Leicheng!
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
This guy is absolutely crazy. Who in this world would believe that there is a map of Leicheng?
Where is Leicheng? It is a city in the sky, where the god of thunder lives, where the gods live. If you can find it, wouldn't you become a god?
The fat man didn't think so. He never cared about the city where gods and ghosts lived. As long as there was work to do and great treasures, he would go there even if it was hell.
Once he was attracted by the big treasure, he lost the intention to stop everyone from listening to the thunder. His attitude changed 700 degrees and he started to urge them to listen.
"Thunder City? There's actually a map of Thunder City hidden in this mural. The sound of thunder, if you hear it, there's something fishy going on here. Listen quickly, listen quickly~"
Wu Xie pressed the switch of the recorder again, and the voice continued: "Wu Sanxing believes that I am hallucinating because of some substance, and he disagrees with my statement. But I don't care, the map is not complete yet, I need to continue listening to thunder."
Wu Sansheng always believed that Mu Xuehai was hallucinating, but Mu Xuehai herself thought she was very sober.
The map was still incomplete, and Mu Xuehai continued to listen to the thunder, but things changed because the team was divided into two factions due to this incident.
One group is in favor of staying and studying the mysteries of the murals, while the other group hopes to complete the thunder-listening mission and leave.
So, the two factions had a quarrel, but after the quarrel, the things behind the mural came out.
It turns out that the reason why this place is covered with murals is because there are toxins in the paint of the murals, which can prevent things from coming in from behind.
When they were taking down the murals, those things were released. Finally, Mu Xuehai and Yang Daguang decided to withdraw first and come back after the main force left.
But in order to prevent other tomb robbers from entering, the team leader asked them to seal the entrance.
However, Mu Xuehai still couldn't resist the temptation in the mural. When the entrance to the cave was sealed, she rushed in in an instant.
After entering, the entrance to the tomb collapsed with a loud bang, and Mu Xuehai stayed here alone to continue to reorganize the map of Leicheng.
Several people continued to listen.
"But I'm not worried at all. I believe the secrets in the murals can lead me out. A thunder sounded, and a voice came from the underground palace. I followed the thunder back to the main hall."
"I will continue to search for the map hidden in the murals. Guided by the thunder, I will piece together the map of Thunder City, the only map!"
Wu Xie took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "He actually cut the magic weapon into pieces to make a map and even printed it on paper? Why does this sound so mysterious?"
"Well, this may be a phenomenon reflected by a mirage." Wu Suowei frowned.
