Chapter 9: The Lost City of the Ganges (Stone Imitation)

"Wangguo? Professor, please make it clear and don't suck your appetite!"

I said anxiously.

Professor Zhou squatted down excitedly when he heard this, and said to us while touching the jade.

"This stone is not jade, it is a special stone. It is said that it was salvaged in the Ganges when the Mauryan King conquered the battlefield. At that time, the Mauryan King was not strong enough to be unrivaled. He was forced to retreat to the Ganges because of a war. The Ganges had not been recorded in history. It was just a stream flowing from the southern slope of the Himalayas to other rivers!"

"Wait, professor, you haven't told us yet, what is this stone?"

Xiaoyao interrupted and asked, I was also very curious, looking at Yuyu who doesn't look like Yu.

"We call it malachite. As for what stone it is, no one knows."

"Does it mean that the tomb of the Peacock King is in this ruined city?"

I asked.

"No, no, here, this piece of malachite is not real malachite, it is just a copy, the real malachite should be with the side of the Mauryan King."

"That's wasted. I found a fake one, you are so happy!"

When Xiaoyao heard that it was not true, he immediately lost interest, but Professor Zhou shook his head.

"When I came, the teacher told me that the place where the Peacock King is located is very likely to be near the target. Now that this thing appears, I can basically assert that the place we are going to is very likely to be the giant city of Peacock King's bones."

Professor Zhou said.

"You'd better tell us the history of the Peacock King first, otherwise we won't understand what you said."

I listened to Professor Zhou's excited words, and there were black lines on my forehead. I didn't know the characters. No matter how wonderful he said, we couldn't understand them.

After hearing what I said, everyone nodded. Seeing this, Professor Zhou probably sat on the stone because he was in a good mood and began to tell us one by one.

"In Indian history, a very famous emperor, the Mauryan Stone, was an indelible contribution to India's dedication to the four civilizations."

"The Peacock King in his youth was a talented and strategic soldier, and he was also cruel and cold-blooded."

"He was like the first king of China, First Emperor, and was known for his cruelty and decisiveness. In order to establish the Peacock Kingdom, blood was permeated on this land!"

"In ancient times, there was a general who had been woven into thousands of heroes. In that specific background, he was considered a hero."

I said.

"He later experienced countless wars and finally established his own country, the Mauryan Dynasty. Due to the unification, the Mauryan Dynasty was particularly powerful. Just like Qin, there must be a strange voice under the strong rule, so the Mauryan King built a very large prison to punish all those who opposed his rule."

"The Peacock King once said that as long as you enter that prison, you will not be able to come out of it. So Buddhism at that time called it the Avici Hell on earth!"

"This Peacock King is cruel enough. In order to suppress those who oppose him, he specially built a prison, and all the opponents were executed. The methods were also cruel. But I was very curious. Since that prison is so famous, why was it not preserved?"

Xiaoyao asked.

The things built by the Mauryan Dynasty should have some traces, just like this remnant city. According to Professor Zhou, the prison at that time should be very huge and magnificent, and it is impossible that there is no broken stone left behind."

"Many books record the prison and have also named it in detail, but there are too many versions. The Chinese generally call it the prison of repentance. It is not that the prison of repentance was not protected, but that it was not discovered by the world at all. The Mauryan King built it in a very hidden place. Countless archaeologists have searched for hundreds of years but have not found any trace of the prison of repentance, even in its general location."

Professor Zhou said.

"Then you say, is this the prison of confession?"

The Eighth Master suddenly pointed at the Cancheng Road.

Professor Zhou shook his head when he heard this, "It's not here. This remnant city was discovered very early, but it has been investigated, not here."

Professor Zhou said.

"No, according to your archaeological habits, if you discover this place, you will definitely find this stone. Don't you take it back for research? How can you put it here?"

I asked in confusion.

Since the Cannon City was discovered a long time ago, this stone should not be left here. Archaeologists are the famous modern Sanguang troops. It is irrelevant to keep the replica malachite here. Even if this malachite is fake, it has a thousand years of age and its archaeological significance is also very great.

"This is also what I am confused about now. After malachite is discovered, it should be taken away, so it is impossible to put it here."

Professor Zhou also said in confusion.

"If you have any suspicion, you can get out of the way first, let me see the age of this stone."

Xiaoyao couldn't help but listened to the words, pulled Professor Zhou and me away, crawled on the ground to observe the substitute malachite. After watching for a long time, he was suddenly shocked, "What a good guy, he's all scheming. He really is no longer here. This thing is a fake!"

Xiaoyao patted the stone and said.

"Fake?"

I was shocked and never expected that the stone under my feet was fake.

"How do you judge that this stone is fake?"

Qian Nanmu, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke.

Xiaoyao frowned when he heard this, "My Young Master Long's eyes are here, no one dares to say it. Come and see here."

Xiaoyao picked up a piece of malachite, then pointed at its blade and said.

We looked over and looked at him in confusion. Xiaoyao clapped his hands narcissistically.

"If a stone is not a human-made blade, the wall of the hole is an inclined mouth with a certain slope. But when you look at this blade, it is straight and smooth. It is obvious that it is made of modern tools. With this stone, it is placed outside for many years, and the color cannot be so bright!"

Xiaoyao explained that when we heard this, we saw that the cuts of the stone were straight and smooth as he said.

"If you don't believe it, there is another way to prove it, that is, burn it with fire."

Xiaoyao said again.

Upon hearing this, the eighth master took out the lighter and used the flame to approach the stone. Under the burning of the flame, the stone began to turn black and began to turn into y-body and flow down like wax.

"Many high-quality imitation jades use this method and use special processes to create liquid like wax. After this thing is cooled, it can almost be fake or real."

Seeing this, we suddenly realized that a few soldiers secretly gave Xiaoyao a thumbs up. Qian Nanmu looked at it without saying anything, not knowing whether it was a recognition or something. In short, I felt that since she knew that we were tomb robbers, her attitude was once bad, and I was too lazy to explain. After all, it was a fact that I was tomb robbing, and this could not be changed.

"Prove that this stone is imitated, so the question is? Why do they imitate a stone here?"

After a moment of silence, Professor Zhou asked.

"Didn't you say that there are many people looking for the Penitentiary? Is it possible that the people here first discovered the real one and left the imitation, just to allow later generations to have ideas and continue to find traces of the Penitentiary?"

I said.

Professor Zhou nodded after hearing this, "It's very likely. But everything is still speculation. Let's engrave it first and study it slowly!"

I heard this and signaled him to take action. As for how to study it, that was his business. After all, I don’t have a lot of colds about these archaeological diseases, so it’s better to get involved less!
