The archives room was dark in the middle of the night. I followed the young master with a flashlight and asked softly: "Are you in such a hurry?"

The young master said: "We only have seven days to live, why don't we hurry up? Just stop being so verbose and find him quickly!"

I followed the cabinet numbers in the library and found my way there bit by bit. I had never been here before, but there was a number and it wasn't very difficult to find it. However, it was not as fast as in the daytime in the dark.

I finally found the bookcase and found that it was full of files. I had a headache when I saw it. Those old books that were falling apart were worthy of this treatment. The age of this book is estimated to be more than fifty years.

We searched label by label twice, but we didn't find the number.

What's going on? My smart old Bian told me that the number of the key file is hsoo456, but the above hsoo457 and hsoo458 are missing the part we are looking for.

"Why did Lao Bian play with us?" I asked strangely, "Or did someone else borrow it?"

It shouldn't be a document that is borrowed from others. Even if no one borrows it, the archives will not easily approve it.

The young master looked at the bookshelf and touched the dust on it, then turned around and looked around. Suddenly his face changed and he made a silent gesture to me.

I didn’t know what was going on and said softly: “What are you doing?”

He covered my mouth and pointed at the dust on the bookshelf and the gap between the two bookcases. I turned around and suddenly shuddered. It turned out that in the dark place in the gap between the two bookshelves in the distance.

A black shadow of a person stood motionless.

Could it be that the ghost of Lao Bian came here without closing his eyes? I thought to myself that my hair stood on end.

The young master saw me sweating coldly and said in my ear: "Don't be afraid that you might be traveling with us."

As he said this, he gave me a gesture to outflank him.

I swallowed and murmured mentally. The two of them turned off their flashlights at the same time. Suddenly, the library was completely dark, with only the moonlight shining through the window remaining.

We held our breath, almost lying on the ground, and slowly approached. Soon we were close to the gap, and I even heard the nervous breathing of the black figure.

Immediately I got excited. If you have the courage to breathe, you are not a ghost. Then you are a human and I am still afraid of you. Don’t say one, two or three. I am not afraid either.

We kept talking to each other on both sides of the cabinet. The man on the left of the young master and the man on the right was hiding in the gap and couldn't see us. The moonlight just shined on the young master's face. He said to me with his lips: "One-two-three!"

We suddenly suddenly turned on the flashlight to look at the gap, and suddenly we heard a scream, and the person inside frightened us so much that he fell to the ground.

I rushed up and wanted to twist his hands, but when I got closer, I saw that she was a girl with a bright and kind face. When I looked again, holy shit, that wasn't Wang Ruonan! She was so scared that she shrank into a ball and was shaking.

I was so surprised that I couldn't even close my mouth: "Girl!"

When Ruonan heard our voices, her eyes widened and she was obviously stunned for a moment, but she couldn't see us and was not sure.

"Who are you?" she asked.

I shined a flashlight on myself to let her know it was me and asked, "What the hell are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

As soon as Ruonan saw it was me, he became playful and smiled and said, "Then what are you doing here again?"

I told her what we had just discovered at Lao Bian's place and our speculations. I also mentioned the death list found in the professor's drawer.

After hearing this, Wang Ruonan said: "Is this the document you are looking for?" After saying that, he took out an envelope from behind her. I took a photo and it turned out to be the one we were looking for. hsoo456 asked strangely: "Why is it in your hand? You

What are you doing with this thing?"

She said: "I don't know what's going on. I'm not here to get the documents. This document was borrowed by me for the professor a month ago. After something happened, I haven't returned it. Now it's overdue."

When I was sorting out the documents today, I saw that I had the key, so I came and returned it. As soon as I came in, I saw someone inside. I thought it was a thief, so I was scared and hid."

I sighed and the professor also borrowed this document. It seems that the things in it are indeed very important. What is written in it?

The young master said: "Have you seen the things in there?"

Wang Ruonan shook his head and said that if she had to read all the professor's stuff, she would at least be an associate professor.

I was worried about the content inside and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go out and take a look."

At this time, a flashlight suddenly flashed outside the door and there were footsteps. I couldn't tell but it was the guard below who heard the sound and came up to look. He hurriedly whistled and the three of them climbed out of the window while carrying each other. Waiting for the guard to come to the door.

We have dug out the walls of the archives before.

By this time, there was no car going back to the hotel. It was not a long road, but it would definitely be daylight if we had to walk back. I was eager to see what I had in my hands, so I took them and found a dumpling restaurant to sit down.

We were the first batch of customers and it was still very early. We made the first batch of dumplings made by the dumpling restaurant. The landlady was also wondering how the rest of us didn't get up so early to eat dumplings.

It would be some time before the dumplings were ready. We sat in the box and opened the folder and poured out the contents.

As soon as I saw the cover of this thing, I knew it was an ancient notebook-style county chronicle. I flipped through the pages and the yellow pages were all scattered. It looked like it was from the late Qing Dynasty. I said "Oh" in my heart. This thing is quite valuable. I stole it.

I don’t know if there is a problem, but this thing must have been there for decades, and those people will not find it missing just now.

Looking through the pages inside, I immediately found that one of the pages had been folded with a mark. I opened it and saw that it was an ancient text. There was only one sentence drawn on it. I looked at the handwriting. It was a recent drawing with annotations written in pen on the side. Look at the notes.

Professor's.

The young master among us must not understand anything. He looked at it for a few times and didn't understand it. He was too embarrassed to show it in front of the little girl, so he said to me: "Old Xu, let me test you to translate this."

I also didn’t understand that we were dealing with antiques and this was not our expertise, so I asked the girl: “You translate it and I’ll see how well you learn.”

Knowing our trick, the girl snorted and lowered her head to look at the document, but her expression changed after just a few glances.

The young master and I really couldn't understand, so we pestered her to ask her if the thing about the coffin in the Yellow River had anything to do with our current experience. She said: "The coffin... things are not simple. I will tell you from the beginning.

You can think of the translation yourself."

There are not many records about King Liu Qu of Guangchuan in history because the power of the king at that time was so great that the emperor could not control it. Historical records are basically all about what happened during the year under the control of the king. It can be reported, but most of them are

It's a matter of bullying. There are very few records about the title of king in history, or there are very few that can be used as a reference.

The life of Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan, is very special, so there are many folklores about him, especially about what happened when he robbed tombs. There are a lot of records about him. He wrote a book called "Fang Tu Ji Shu", which also contains some information about him.

The experience of tomb robbing.

Liu Qu has some skills in tomb robbing. He is just a bystander, that is, he does not do anything. All the excavation work is done by a team of his own confidants. However, looking for ancient tombs is Liu Qu's strong point. It was difficult to imagine a king in the past.

Where did the knowledge of tomb robbing come from?

According to the records of this county chronicle, it is said that one year Liu had a dream about a strange picture. The lines on it were like patterns, and it seemed to be a map. When he woke up, he traced the picture and gave it to the concubine and minister.

I looked at it, but no one could understand it and didn't know whether the picture was a map or not.

Liu went to use his power to recruit famous people from all over the world to decipher this picture. However, there were a lot of people talking about it and there was no result at all.

Coincidentally, at that time, a concubine who was with Liu Qu accidentally saw this picture and said that this picture was very similar to her hometown. The bend was the Yellow River and the pattern seemed to be the mountains in her hometown. Liu Qu was overjoyed when she heard this.

This picture is a map, it must be the guidance given by the gods, so that night he took the people out to the concubine's hometown.

Although Liu Qu said this, people were surprised. Some people said that it was actually a map of the ancient tomb. Some people said that it was actually a map of the dragon veins of their Liu family. He went to choose a place for his tomb.

It took Liu Qu three months to go there. When he came back with no news for three months, he felt as if he had aged ten years. When people asked him what happened, he would not tell him. But after that, Liu Qu's temperament changed drastically and he became taciturn.

No one knows where Liu Qu went and what happened there in the past three months, but since then Liu Qu has started digging other people's graves for no reason, as if he was trying to find something.

Legend has it that after Liu Qu came back, he issued an edict and started building his mausoleum. He recruited about 50,000 craftsmen and 30,000 soldiers. These people also disappeared all of a sudden. I don’t know where they went. But according to speculation, the location of the mausoleum may be

The place Liu went to was because someone had studied the map and said that the terrain represented by the map was Three Dragons Spitting Pearls. This terrain was the treasure cave for building the imperial tomb, which was suitable for Liu Qu's identity.

After hearing this and seeing some of the professor's comments above, I began to understand the whole thing, and my face turned pale.

This is actually very easy to deduce. Liu Qu said that the map with the same pattern in his dream should be a lie. It was not what he dreamed about, but what he cut out from the Zhenhe Dragon Coffin. At that time, it may be "Yellow River Chronicles"

After the incident recorded in "", he may have finally received some guidance from an expert in despair, or he suddenly realized the secret of the pattern.

But there were no satellites or nationwide maps at that time, so even if he knew it was a map, he didn't know the place represented by the map. So he sent out official documents and asked others to help him identify the place. As a result, his concubine found the place represented by the map.

Liu Qu must have gone to that place and something must have happened there.

I remembered the thought I had when I came here and I knew why this document was the key. That Liu went and according to what Wang Ruonan said, although his lifespan was not long, he did not die early. If anyone touched the coffin, he would die within a period of time. That Liu

How could it be possible to live so long?

Unless this guy finally found a way to survive.

Based on the time and Liu's haste when he left, it can be deduced that this method may have something to do with the place marked on the map. He may have survived because he got there in the end.

According to the records, Lao Bian may have thought that the map engraved on the coffin marked the location of the tomb of King Guangchuan and did not know that Liu Qu had lost the throne before his death. Of course, it is also possible that King Guangchuan had some special reasons after he arrived there.

It is very possible that he actually built his own mausoleum in that place.

I rubbed my brows and told them my thoughts. The young master nodded and said: "I think the same as you. You see, the above records are very consistent with the "Yellow River Chronicles", which can prove the authenticity of the "Yellow River Chronicles" legend. It seems that this matter

It can’t be wrong, let’s wait and see.”

Wang Ruonan said: "Then don't we have to go to that place to be saved? Where is that place? Did Liu Qu really build the tomb there?"

I shook my head and said I didn't know, but I was sure to go and have a look.

The young master said: "But we don't know where this 'Guangchuan Royal Tomb' is. The landforms in various places are different now. We don't have enough time to find it."

Wang Ruonan said: "Don't worry. Among the concubines who are easy to get rid of, the only one who can talk to me is Zhaoxin. We only need to look up the information to see Zhaoxin's ancestral home and compare the year to know where it is."

The young master said: "You said it's easy. If you make a mistake, it's going to be over."

I said: "Now we only have to take one step at a time. Instead of doing nothing and waiting to die, at least we still have some chances."

The young master knew that what I said was the only way and said: "Okay, let's go back and prepare. I'll listen to you and do whatever you say."

I glanced at the girl and said, "You will come with us this time. Be mentally prepared. This may not be as easy as you think."

The girl nodded seriously and the matter was settled.

When the dumplings arrived, we ate them in two bites. Then we went back and checked the information for a long time. After checking, we found that Zhaoxin’s ancestral home was in the fiefdom of Liu Qu in Wuyi County, Hebei Province. We then found the map of that place and the part of the old land we had.
