Wu Yu Saves the World

Chapter 135: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 17

Wu Xie told everyone the story on the silk.

Once, the Duke of Lu was in danger and his beloved concubine Yaoguang also fell off a cliff. King Lu Shang suddenly appeared with his ghost soldiers, wiped out the rebels, and saved the Duke of Lu and Yaoguang.

Although Yaoguang was the concubine of the Duke of Lu, she once had a deep relationship with King Lu Shang. She was forced to marry the Duke of Lu because she waited for King Lu Shang for a long time and he didn't come back, thinking he was dead.

Time flies, and King Lu Shang and Yao Guang finally meet again after many years.

Every bit of the past came to my mind, and the old feelings hidden deep in my heart surged like a tide.

They decided to let go of all constraints and escape from this complicated world together.

However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Duke Lu accidentally learned about the affair between King Lu Shang and Yao Guang, and became jealous, so he carefully planned a conspiracy.

He deliberately sent King Lu Shang to a distant place to carry out a dangerous and difficult mission in an attempt to disrupt their plan to escape.

Before King Lu Shang left, Yaoguang was worried, but she firmly believed that King Lu Shang would take her away.

But who would have thought that the Duke of Lu would take this opportunity to come and confront Yaoguang about her affair with King Lu Shang.

Yaoguang was horrified and couldn't believe that the man in front of her, whom she once loved deeply, could be so despicable and shameless.

The Duke of Lu cunningly fabricated a lie, claiming that King Lu Shang had revealed everything about Yaoguang because of his cowardice.

Yaoguang opened her eyes wide, her face full of shock and despair, and the pain in her heart felt like a knife.

She could not accept this fact and her emotions almost went out of control. She insisted on finding King Lu Shang to get to the bottom of it.

Upon seeing this, the Duke of Lu was furious and imprisoned Yaoguang.

Yaoguang was imprisoned, but she did not give up hope.

She tried her best and wrote a letter to her trusted maid Ruyue, asking her to find a way to deliver the letter to King Lu Shang.

When Ruyue was about to deliver the letter, the drunk Duke Lu suddenly came to the place where Yaoguang was imprisoned and tried to force himself on Yaoguang.

In the panic, the crucial letter accidentally fell to the ground.

When the Duke of Lu picked up the letter and read it, he was immediately furious and threatened to kill King Lu Shang.

When Yaoguang saw that the truth was revealed, she cried heartbreakingly and begged Duke Lu to spare King Lu Shang's life.

However, during the argument and shoveling, Yaoguang slipped and fell from a great height, and died instantly.

Ruyue ran out of the palace like a rabbit, found King Lu Shang, and told him the sad news that Yaoguang was brutally beaten to death by Duke Lu.

When King Lu Shang heard this, he was struck by lightning. He was filled with grief and indignation, and was so furious that he wanted to seek revenge on the Duke of Lu immediately.

However, he was stopped by Tie Mian Sheng, who said slowly and calmly like a wise man: "People can be resurrected after death."

Then, Tie Miansheng told King Lu Shang that there was a jade figurine in the Western Zhou tomb that could bring Yaoguang back to life.

At this time, the blue-eyed fox cast an illusion on King Lu Shang like a demon, and King Lu Shang saw the illusion of Yao Guang's resurrection. He witnessed Tie Miansheng's magical ability with his own eyes, and his doubts disappeared immediately, and he chose to believe him.

Tie Miansheng also said that it would take some time for Yaoguang to revive.

King Lu Shang stated with great pride that all land under heaven belonged to him and he would surely wait until the day when Yaoguang was reborn.

Tie Miansheng smiled slightly and offered some advice to King Lu Shang.

So, King Lu Shang began to build a huge tomb on a large scale and killed all the craftsmen to ensure that the secret would not be leaked.

Afterwards, King Lu Shang cleverly sent a wrong signal to the Duke of Lu, making the Duke of Lu mistakenly believe that they had encountered a landslide and their entire army was wiped out.

"Where did Tie Miansheng go later?" Pan Zi asked curiously.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhang Qiling, who was standing next to Qi Yu, suddenly spoke.

"The person lying inside the jade figurine is no longer King Lu Shang."

His voice was calm and firm, as if he knew some unknown secret.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Zhang Qiling, waiting for his further explanation.

Zhang Qiling slowly walked to the front of the jade figurine, stared at the corpse that exuded a mysterious aura, and spoke softly.

"The real King Lu Shang was killed by Tie Miansheng many years ago. Not only did he take away the Jade Servant, he also turned King Lu Shang and Yao Guang into Zongzi to protect him."

"So, the two Zongzi we met earlier were King Lu Shang and Yao Guang."

As Wu Xie spoke, he looked into the sarcophagus again and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"The man wearing the jade servant must be Tie Miansheng. But, what is his purpose?"

"For longevity."

"For the so-called immortality."

At this moment, Zhang Qiling and Qi Yu spoke out the final answer in unison.

Finally, Wu Xie handed the Ghost Seal to Zhang Qiling at Qi Yu's suggestion.

Zhang Qiling promised that when the time came, he would take Qi Yu to find the answers she was looking for.

Seeing Zhang Qiling and Qi Yu getting closer and closer, Wu Xie suddenly felt uneasy. He always felt that Zhang Qiling had bad intentions and wanted to abduct his sister.

The journey back was smooth and safe. They did not encounter anything strange along the way, and not even the common corpse beetles were seen.

Only a few people knew about this change, and it was the people from the Seventeenth Inn who took action to deal with it. After all, Qi Yu wanted to develop this place.

After everyone returned to the mountain village, they found that the relevant personnel arranged by the state had already arrived at their posts, and with the strong support of the Seventeen Inn, they were carrying out their work in an orderly manner.

After that, everyone separated. Qi Yu took Aning, Wu Xie and Wu Sanxing on a private plane back to Hangzhou.

After returning to Hangzhou, Qi Yu directly arranged for Aning to participate in the internal training of Seventeen Inn.

Wu Xie followed Wu Sanxing to the antique shop because the other things Wu Xie brought back still needed to be analyzed.

As for Fatty Wang and Zhang Qiling, they had slipped away when Qi Yu and the others entered the village, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Because of the many advanced instruments he arranged for the tomb visit, Hai Shao was noticed by a national department and since then he has devoted himself to related scientific research and contributed greatly to the country. Of course, Qi Yu's investment was indispensable.

After returning to the antique shop, Wu Xie carefully took out an exquisite wooden box and a slightly rustic key from his backpack. The wooden box looked very old, but it was well preserved, and was engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns.

Wu Sansheng took the box and examined it carefully. With his many years of experience in tomb robbing, he quickly determined that it was a rare ancient password box. After some research, they found that to open the box, they had to enter the correct eight-digit password, and this digital unlocking method was extremely complicated. If they cracked it by force, the items inside might be damaged.

Just as Wu Sansheng was about to find tools to cut the box open, Wu Xie suddenly had an idea and recalled a set of strange numbers he saw in the tomb. That set of numbers had always troubled him, and now it flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning. With a try-it mentality, Wu Xie began to turn the combination lock in the order he remembered.

With each turn, Wu Xie's heartbeat accelerated. As the last digit was in place, there was a light "click" and the box slowly opened. The two held their breath and stared at the inside of the box.

When they saw what was inside, Wu Xie and Wu Sanxing were stunned - it was actually a gold-plated bronze fish.

The copper fish has a bronze luster all over, like an ancient artifact that has been deposited over the years. Its workmanship is extremely fine and amazing. If you look closely, you can see that each scale has been carefully polished to have sharp edges and corners, shining with a faint light.

What is even more amazing is that above the fish's eyebrows, there is actually a small and exquisite sea snake. These two sea snakes are agile and extremely agile. They seem to be playing with the bronze fish, or guarding the bronze fish. Their expressions and movements are lifelike, as if they will jump out of the bronze fish at any time. Such exquisite craftsmanship makes people fall in love with it.

Wu Sansheng picked up the bronze fish excitedly and carefully observed the pattern carved on it.

Those patterns seemed like ancient symbols, containing some puzzling secrets that made him deeply immersed in them...
