In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

"When I was in the underwater tomb, I received orders to find two things. One was the jade seal, also known as the Ghost Seal in historical records, which could summon the army of the underworld."

"And unfortunately, I couldn't find the structural diagram of the other Heavenly Palace on the Clouds either..."

Wu Xie exclaimed in surprise, "The Ghost Seal? King Lu Shang's Ghost Seal?? In the underwater tomb???"

Wu Xie really didn't expect to hear this thing again here.

Ah Ning understood Wu Xie's confusion and explained, "After Wang Zang pirated Lu Shang's tomb, he replaced the Ghost Seal with the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish. We always thought he took the Ghost Seal into the underwater tomb..."

"But we found nothing in the underwater tomb."

"And the structural blueprints of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds have probably fallen into the hands of your third uncle..."

"We don't know how many times your third uncle has tricked us, but we still have to cooperate with him because his information is far more accurate than ours!"

Wu Xie hadn't expected that his cunning third uncle would outsmart A Ning's people so completely. He asked, "So what did you find in the underwater tomb?"

A Ning pulled a stack of photos from her pocket and handed them to Wu Xie, saying, "These are the narrative murals I photographed in the underwater tomb."

Wu Xie took the photo and looked at six or seven photos in a row. Suddenly, he saw a photo of Han people being surrounded by a group of Dongxia soldiers.

Wu Xie immediately stopped, pointed at the Han Chinese in the photo, and asked A Ning, "Is this captured person Wang Zanghai?"

A Ning nodded: "Yes, this means that Wang Zanghai may have been forced to build the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top; he was kidnapped."

Wu Xie, as if discovering a new continent, quickly continued looking. After examining a few more photos, he exclaimed, "These murals in the back record his experiences under the control of the Dongxia people. Wait a minute, is this an imperial tomb?"

Wu Xie changed to another photo, pointed to the massive complex in the picture, and asked, "So, this imperial mausoleum wasn't built by Wang Zanghai, but rather it was modified by him?"

Chapter 355: Three Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish

Wu Xie said, "So you're saying that the imperial tombs here weren't built by Wang Zanghai, but rather modified by him?"

Aning nodded and said, "We have studied it. The overall style of the imperial tomb above belongs to the Yin and Shang Dynasty, while what we are seeing now is the Ming style, which has been modified by Wang Zanghai!"

"Because it has been around for so long, it has fallen into such disrepair that it can no longer be used!"

"Therefore, we deduce that Wang Zanghai was likely captured by the Eastern Xia people specifically to repair the imperial tombs..."

As A Ning spoke, Wu Xie flipped through the photos on the back.

Ah Ning: "We can't crack these last few either..."

Wu Xie scratched his head, "These last few are almost like myths and legends..."

"All right!"

A Ning snatched the photo from Wu Xie's hand: "Alright, you can look at the photo later. I've already told you everything about us, now shouldn't you tell me something too!"

Wu Xie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then call over the person in your team who understands Jurchen script, and have them decipher something!"

As he spoke, Wu Xie took out two snake-browed bronze fish from his pocket and placed them in front of A Ning: "Everything you want to know is in these two bronze fish."

A Ning glanced at Wu Xie in surprise; she really hadn't expected that Wu Xie would have two snake-browed bronze fish in his hand.

The secret of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds was within reach, and A Ning's eyes suddenly burned with fervor, "Tang sword!"

Tang Dao, who was also A Ning's second-in-command, quickly went over after hearing A Ning's summons.

at the same time!

At this call, everyone in the tomb turned their gaze towards it.

When Jason saw the snake-browed bronze fish in Wu Xie's hand, he was slightly taken aback and quickly stood up.

"Why did you take it out?"

Wang Yueban whispered something in Wu Xie's ear.

Wu Xie did not respond, but instead told Tang Dao about the secret hidden in the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish and the need for Jurchen script translation.

Jason exclaimed in surprise, "You have two?"

Since Jason was sent to China by Alpha Corporation, he has spent countless hours searching for the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish.

He even stole from Jie Xiaohua.

Unfortunately, it was snatched away by Chen Pi Asi in the end.

The most embarrassing thing was that after all that fuss, they realized that the snake-browed bronze fish was a fake that Xie Xiaohua had deliberately released to fish.

He had been busy for half a year without any results, but Wu Xie suddenly produced two.

Jason looked like he'd just lost his father. "Where...where did you get all of this?"

Wang Yueban scoffed, "What's it to you?"

Jason: "..."

Ah Ning looked at her deputy, Tang Dao, and asked, "Can you translate?"

Tang Dao said, "I'll give it a try!"

Wu Xie nodded, handed one of the snake-browed bronze fish to Wang Yueban, then held the flashlight in his left hand and the snake-browed bronze fish in his right, and turned on the light.

The next moment, the flashlight beam pierced through the body of the snake-browed bronze fish, and rows of golden characters appeared on the wall.

Looking at the golden projected lettering on the wall, Aning, Jason, Tang Dao, and their men were all astonished, their expressions showing they had learned something new.

Only then did everyone realize that... that's how the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish was used.

Tang Dao opened his backpack, took out paper and pen, and began to decipher the projected text on the wall.

A few minutes later, the first snake-browed bronze fish was deciphered!

The second snake-browed bronze fish didn't take much time either.

Chen Pi also came over and took out the third snake-browed bronze fish.

A century ago, Wang Zanghai placed the snake-browed bronze fish in various ancient tombs. Today, they appear before the world for the first time, and the secrets hidden in the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds will be revealed.

……

After half an hour.

Tang Dao said, "Alright!"

Wu Xie and Chen Pi Asi each put away the snake-browed bronze fish.

At this moment!

All eyes turned to Tang Dao.

Tang Dao briefly summarized the translated content and order of the three snake-browed bronze fish and began translating for everyone: "It says that this was carved by Wang Zanghai, hoping it would never see the light of day again. Even if someone discovers it, he hopes it will be a Han Chinese, not a Jurchen!"

Wang Yueban sat on the ground and asked curiously, "Then why did he use Jurchen script to record it? Did those Han people understand Jurchen script???"

Tang Dao: "..."

I'm just a translator; how could I possibly know about such things?

Tang Dao thought to himself, "This is what I'm complaining about."

Wang Kaixuan snapped, "Don't interrupt, let him continue..."

Wang Yueban obediently shut her mouth.

Shirley Yang suddenly said, "I think this should be a double insurance. Suppose that the Jurchens get their hands on this snake-browed bronze fish, but they don't understand the mechanisms of the Han people, it will be very difficult for them to discover the secret inscription on it!"

"Conversely, if the Han people obtained the snake-browed bronze fish but didn't understand the Jurchen script, it would be of little use to them..."

Su Mo nodded and said, "That must be what Wang Zanghai meant. In this way, the probability of the cipher in the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish being deciphered is extremely low."

Wang Yueban sat on the ground, nodding repeatedly: "Yes, what Master Su said makes sense!"

Tang Dao looked at the notebook and continued, "The rest of the text records what happened after Wang Zanghai was captured and taken to Dongxia. It's similar to what's recorded on this mural, just a few sentences!"

"To build the imperial mausoleum, many treasures that Dongxia did not possess were needed. Therefore, Wang Zanghai led people to excavate many ancient tombs. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he found several places with the strongest spiritual energy and secretly placed the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish inside..."

"I just hope this secret will be discovered someday!"

Wang Yueban chuckled as he sat on the ground: "That old Wang is a Gemini, isn't he? He wants people to notice him, but he also doesn't want them to notice him. Is he split personality?"

Hehehehe!!!

"..."

Everyone stared coldly at Wang Yueban.

"Ha...ha...ha!"

The laughter stopped, and Wang Yueban quickly shut her mouth. "Hey, don't worry about me, don't worry about me, keep going, keep going..."

"Mo Dao, speak quickly!"

Tang Dao: "..."

You're still rushing me? If you hadn't interrupted, I would have finished speaking!

And who is that damn Mo Dao?

My name is Tang Dao!

Su Mo, Lao Hu, and Wu Xie looked at Wang Yueban speechlessly.

Tang Dao took a deep breath and continued translating while looking at his notebook: "This Wang Canghai was trapped here for ten years. He was also once led to see an underground door that was called a miracle."

The Gate to the Underground?

Wu Xie had a hunch that this underground gate was probably the biggest secret of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.

"Does it indicate the location of the underground gate?"

Wu Xie immediately pressed for an answer.

Tang Dao looked at the notebook and said, "It's located at the foot of Changbai Mountain, beneath this imperial tomb. Its origins date back to ancient times, likely a product of the Yin-Shang period..."

"And this passage leading to the gate to the underworld is guarded by a bird with a human head."

"This bird likes to catch its prey, throw it down from a high place to kill it, and then hang it up high to dry for later use."

Wang Yueban was sitting on the ground playing with his shoes when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, that owl must be the same human-faced owl we've seen before?"

"Smack!"

Wang Kaixuan tapped Wang Yueban on the head, "Shut up, let him finish speaking..."
