Under One Person: The Millennium Plan Exposed by Feng Baobao.

Chapter 273 Zhang Qilin regains his memory, the secret behind the bronze door
After hearing what Zhang Chulan said, everyone also remembered it.

Dr. Xia spoke at this time.

"I know this place. We've already found tens of thousands of precious artifacts just by digging up the surface."

“If we dig any deeper, we don’t know what will emerge.”

When everyone heard Dr. Xia mention tens of thousands of cultural relics, they were all stunned.

I didn't expect there would be so many.

Zhang Chulan asked at this time.

"Dr. Xia, have you discovered the identity of this tomb's owner through archaeological excavations?"

"Or, in other words, is there any inscription or record on this artifact?"

Dr. Xia nodded upon hearing this.

"Originally, some superficial evidence suggested that this underwater cemetery was Wang Canghai's tomb, but after further investigation, we found that it was not Wang Canghai's underwater tomb."

"And the true owner of this underwater tomb is most likely Shen Wansan, a wealthy man from the Ming Dynasty."

"Shen Wansan?"

Everyone is familiar with this name, but not many have heard much about Shen Wansan's deeds.

Zhang Chulan continued to ask.

"Dr. Xia, what exactly makes you believe that the owner of this underwater tomb is Shen Wansan?"

Dr. Xia spoke immediately after hearing Zhang Chulan's question.

"Originally, it was impossible to confirm whether the owner of this underwater tomb was Shen Wansan based solely on the unearthed artifacts."

"But because of this humble compass, I can conclude that the owner of this underwater tomb is most likely Shen Wansan, or a descendant of Shen Wansan."

"compass?"

Zhang Chulan was a little confused.

"What does this compass mean?"

Dr. Xia then began to explain.

"According to the custom of burial, after the tomb owner dies, his family will bury the things that the tomb owner loved most in his lifetime."

"For example, Li Shimin had the 'Preface to the Lanting Poems', which he loved very much during his lifetime, buried with him in his tomb."

"And the back of this compass tells its origin."

"Bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"According to our archaeological discoveries from the early Ming Dynasty, Shen Wansan was a business genius. He made money in every business he did and even rewarded the army on behalf of Zhu Yuanzhang."

"It can be seen that Shen Wansan is rich enough to rival a country."

"After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set his sights on Shen Wansan's wealth, so he found an excuse to summon Shen Wansan to the palace and invite him to dinner."

"And he asked the imperial chef to prepare a whole pig feast to entertain Shen Wansan."

"Every time he ate a dish, Zhu Yuanzhang would ask Shen Wansan what it was."

"As long as Shen Wansan uttered the word 'pig', Zhu Yuanzhang would have a reason to put him in jail."

When everyone heard what Zhu Yuanzhang did, they looked at each other in surprise.

Zhang Chulan finally understood.

"It turns out that the reign titles and names of every emperor need to be avoided."

"Take the Longquan Sword, for example. Its original name was the Longyuan Sword, but it was later changed to Longquan to avoid mentioning Li Yuan's name."

The old Taoist priest also said at this time:

"Indeed, this was very important in ancient times. It could strengthen one's authority."

"For example, the opening line of the Tao Te Ching, 'The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao,' was changed to 'The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao' to avoid the taboo of Emperor He of Han."

Hearing what the old Taoist priest said, everyone was worried about Shen Wansan.

But there is really no need to worry about it, this is history after all.

at this time.

Dr. Xia then continued to tell the rest of the story.

"When Shen Wansan saw Zhu Yuanzhang like this, he knew in his heart that Zhu Yuanzhang was looking for trouble to accuse him."

"Plus, since killing and eating pigs had just been banned, he simply referred to everything with the word 'pig' in it as 'Wan San', implying that he, Shen Wan San, was as stupid as a pig, and begged Zhu Yuanzhang to spare his life."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

It's really sad that it has come to this. In ancient times, facing the imperial power, no matter how big your business is, you still have to bow your head and submit.

At this time, Dr. Xia continued to speak.

"Zhu Yuanzhang felt somewhat annoyed when he saw Shen Wansan like this, but he couldn't let go of Shen Wansan's wealth, so he found an excuse and said that although the Golden Throne Hall was called the Golden Throne Hall, the floor and the furniture and decorations were not made of gold. Therefore, he wanted Shen Wansan to replace everything with gold."

"Shen Wansan knew how huge the Golden Throne Hall was. Even if he sold all his property, he still couldn't get it."

"Shen Wansan then voluntarily handed over his wealth. Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased and directly rewarded him with a golden compass. He also allowed him to build treasure ships and conduct business at sea during the period when the Ming Dynasty banned maritime trade."

"Later, Shen Wansan, relying on his business acumen, expanded his business further and further. In the end, all his wealth was seized by Yao Guangxiao and his men from the Quanxing sect to fund Zhu Di's military campaigns—but that's another story." "And this golden compass is the very compass that was unearthed!"

After hearing what Dr. Xia said, everyone suddenly understood.

This is actually the case.

It seems that I really need to study more history.

Otherwise I won’t understand the story.

At this moment, Feng Baobao continued to read the remaining pages of notes in her hand.

After learning the location of one of the snake-browed bronze fish, I divined the location of the other one.

[Later, it was discovered that the other snake-browed bronze fish is now located in the Jing'er Palace, a Northern Song Dynasty Buddhist pagoda in Xiguang Province.]

Although I now possess a body of innate true fire, I still have the ability to enter the ocean. Therefore, I did not call Zhang Qilin and Yakan with me and came to this underwater tomb alone.

Zhang Qilin and Yakan went to the Jing'er Palace, a Northern Song Dynasty Buddhist pagoda in Xiguang Province, to search for it.

[After some searching in this underwater tomb, I successfully found the snake-browed bronze fish.]

After returning to land, Zhang Qilin and Yakan successfully found another snake-browed bronze fish from the Jing'er Palace.

After the three of us reunited, Zhang Qilin directly took the three snake-browed bronze fish and put them together.

[The Snake-browed Bronze Fish also erupted with a powerful Qi, which transformed into a beam of Qi light and began to clear Zhang Qilin's brain.]

[After the dredging was completed, the three snake-browed bronze fish turned to ash, and Zhang Qilin successfully regained his memory.]

Yakan and I are both very curious about what this Qilin's memories hold.

Zhang Qilin told us that he remembered everything, including the mission of the Northeast Zhang family, his own mission, and the secret behind the bronze door.

When everyone heard this, they all looked curious.

Among them, Bi Youlong, who had listened to the whole process and taken notes, couldn't help but look at Ding Shimaan who was standing beside him.

"Ding Shimaan, haven't you been to the Changbai Mountains before?"

"Have you ever seen a bronze door in the tomb under the mountains?"

Ding Shimaan nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, our special forces team witnessed it. The detailed report has been handed over to Director Zhao. The bronze door is incredibly tall. I think only the two sons of Kua'e, who are said to have helped Yugong move the Wangwu and Taihang Mountains, could have pushed it open."

Zhang Chulan was very curious when he heard Ding Shimaan's sigh.

"When you went there, did you see a huge coffin in front of the bronze door?"

Ding Shimaan recalled for a moment and nodded.

"Well, I did see this coffin."

"But that coffin doesn't look like it's something a human can fit into. To fit a body so snugly inside, I'm afraid someone would have to be at least three meters tall."

“If a body had been placed there before, I wonder what kind of existence it would have been.”

Zhang Chulan knew that it was the King of Ten Thousand Slaves.

I just don't know what the owner of this notebook did with the body of King Wannu later.

at this time.

Feng Baobao's voice came to Zhang Chulan's ears.

That was Feng Baobao continuing to read.

I asked what the Zhang family's mission was, and what his mission was.

Zhang Qilin told me and Yakan that the Zhang family has existed in this world for over three thousand years, guarding the secret of the bronze door for generations.

He is the current head of the Zhang family. Each head of the Zhang family lives for about three hundred years, which means he existed during the early Qing Dynasty. Later, for unknown reasons, he lost his memory, but now that everything has been restored, it doesn't matter.

[Behind this bronze door lies an existence more terrifying than hell. If the bronze door is destroyed, he will die. His fate is inextricably linked to the bronze door.]

I asked Zhang Qilin what the secret behind the bronze door was, but he just shook his head and told me it was the ultimate world. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't bring himself to speak.

[Unless he enters the bronze door, then he can speak.]

"According to my current level of strength, I can discover the ultimate secret he mentioned by entering the bronze door. Therefore, whether he tells me or not at that time will be meaningless."

Everyone was disappointed when they heard this, as they thought they could know the secret behind the bronze door.

In this situation, you still have to go by yourself!

……

Seeing that this Qilin was playing dumb with me, I decided not to ask any more questions and instead rushed all the way to Changbai Mountain.

[Before heading to the Bronze Gate, I found Daji and asked her to find me two clever helpers in the Spirit Kingdom.]

[Daji found two fox spirits from the Hu family, both of whom had practiced Taoism for thousands of years. They were named Hu Tianbiao and Hu Tianlong.]

[The names Hu Tianbiao and Hu Tianlong weren't chosen randomly. Only the most powerful fighter among the Hu Immortals could be called Hu Tianbiao, and only the most powerful magician could be called Hu Tianlong.]

Hu Tianbiao's true Qi and magical power are unfathomable, as powerful as the ocean. He told me that he has existed since the Northern Song Dynasty and is extremely skilled at subduing spirits. His magical power comes from consuming spirits.

Hu Tianlong is the same age as him. Although he's not very good at fighting, he's proficient in eight hundred unorthodox magic spells. When he fights, it's hard to defend against him!
