”It is indeed a small paper charm from the pre-Qin era. Judging from its density, there should be quite a few things recorded in it!”
Professor Xu could not hide his joy when he saw the densely packed Pre-Qin script on the monument. He turned around and looked at Fatty Dun, ”Fatty Dun, quickly take out my magnifying glass. I want to study this monument carefully to see what is recorded on it.”
After receiving the magnifying glass from Dun Dun, Professor Xu used it to carefully observe each of the pre-Qin characters engraved on the monument, reading and translating at the same time. As for Fatty Dun and Da Ceng, one of them was grinding ink to prepare the inscription while the other was holding a notebook. On the paper, he was rapidly recording Professor Xu's specific translation of the inscription.
He wanted to see if there were other things hidden around this stone tablet, such as the secret door or something else. He didn't know if it was because the heavens were blessed with this recipe, but the book that was randomly touching the stone wall had actually found a hidden secret.
When he told the news to Professor Xu, Professor Xu was reluctant to stop translating the stone, so he had no choice but to continue searching for other mechanisms. However, the stone wall was only this big, and after searching several times, he found that the only mechanism on the stone wall was the one he had discovered.
Only two hours later did Professor Xu slowly stand up, pounding his back as he excitedly said to Fang Zhisu, ”Master Fang, I've made you wait for a long time. I've already almost deciphered all of the words engraved on this stone tablet.”
”What's written on the monolith inscriptions?” Fang Zhisu asked.
Speaking of this, Professor Xu did not feel any pain on his back anymore, and he immediately said with a smile, ”According to the records on the tablet, this natural tomb was built during the Northern Wei period. Although the tablet did not reveal the name and official title of the tomb master, but after many analyses of the inscription on the tablet, I can now make a preliminary judgment that the owner of this natural tomb should be someone from the royal family of the Northern Wei.”
”Royal Family of the Northern Wei?”
Fang Zishu's brows twitched, ”Professor Xu, if I remember correctly, the royal family of the Northern Wei should be Yuwen Clan, right?”
Yes, the royal family of the Northern Wei is the Yuwen family. However, when the Northern Wei was first established, the royal family name of the Northern Wei was changed from the Fresh Subordinate family. So, the owner of this natural tomb is either the Yuwen family of the Northern Wei or the royal family of the Fresh Subordinate family.
Pausing for a moment, Professor Xu continued, ”Other than these, I've also discovered that there's something extremely important recorded on this inscription …”
”Important thing? What is it? Professor Xu, tell me about it. ”
Fang Zishu was not very interested in the history of the Royal Family of the Northern Wei. He was more concerned about the secret he discovered, whether it was the last layer of the 'Triple Tomb', which was the real tomb. As for the important thing Professor Xu said, he only responded politely.
Because from beginning to end, there was only one thing that Fang Zishu cared about.
That was to determine if the main tomb contained the 'octagonal shaped amber' that he had painstakingly pursued?
