After hearing that, I immediately became suspicious.

The bronze statue that was said to be moving, was it moving according to the trajectory? Or could it be that Zhang Zikong found something inside the city tower of the Underground World?

Even though I was doubtful, I still looked at the bush warily.

But after a while, Zhang Zi Kong stood up and walked towards the bush. So I stayed behind to guard the board in case someone was plotting against it after we all left.

After a short while, Zhang Zi Kong returned with a bronze statue in his arms, ”I think it's because of the fire beside us. Our movements were discovered by that person, so he ran away.”

With that, he placed the bronze statue on the ground and began to examine it.

Just as he said, there were some lines in the shape of teeth on the bottom of the bronze statue. In his own words, that was the mechanism by which the bronze statue moved.

Seeing my confused expression, he started to explain to me.

Previously, he knew that there was an ancient tomb here, but he didn't know whose tomb it was. That was what he said he was going to look for, after he had killed the man.

Through his investigation, he discovered that this ancient city was most likely built by the teacher of the Kingdom of Yunnan that was exiled more than two thousand years ago. The Imperial Advisor had been exiled for using worms to infect women during pregnancy and for using vicious methods to obtain guidance. After the Imperial Advisor left, the underground city that he had previously set up also disappeared.

And the things that we encountered in the underground world are all left behind by that Imperial Advisor.

”Then what does this have to do with Ah Xi's bronze statue moving around? Moreover, didn't they say that the 'Longevity Jue' was Qin Shi Huang's Imperial Jade Seal? And why would it appear in the ruins left behind by the teacher of the Kingdom of Yunnan? ”

”This is temporarily unclear as to the relationship between the Longevity Jue and the teacher of the Kingdom of Yunnan. However, the reason why the Japanese are building underground fortifications in these deep mountains and forests is probably because of the remains of the Dian Kingdom's Imperial Advisors. ”

Following that, Zhang Zi Kong revealed one of his guesses.

In his words, in those days, the Imperial Advisors of Yunnan had probably already set up many ingenious traps on the ground. As for the usage, he wasn't sure for the time being.

Later on, the Japanese invading China might have found some documents regarding the Dian Kingdom's Imperial Advisors. They wanted to use this technique in the war, so they came here to excavate it. Later on, they might have discovered some mechanisms as well, so they used the bronze statue of Ah Xi as a guide and placed it on top of the mechanisms.

But in the end, it turned out that after A Xi's bronze statue was placed on top of the mechanism, it could only move around in the mountains nearby, and did not guide them to the entrance of the relic.

So that's how it is. No wonder Ah Xi's bronze statue is moving around. However, it didn't take the initiative to look for us.

Although this matter had already been figured out, I was curious about another matter.

Previously, I knew that the Zhang Clan's carving technique was very ingenious, but I never thought that they would also be proficient in things like mechanisms. Just by investigating the underground relic, he was able to confirm that Ah Xi's bronze statue was not moving in the lakeside. Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?

However, just as we were about to bury Ah Xi's bronze statue, before I could ask Zhang Zi Kong these questions, I suddenly saw a blazing fire coming from the distant horizon, as if there was a forest fire somewhere!

”Heh, that Gu Miao from Stone Bite Village is probably going to attack the people from the village!”

Hearing Zhang Zi Kong's words, I immediately became anxious again!

Previously, Zhang Zi Kong had said that all the teams that had entered the village to cut gums had disappeared, and it was very likely that it was the Gu seedlings that had caused the ghost, and it was also the Gu seedlings that had caused it.

However, because the grudges between them have nothing to do with us, based on the principle that this matter does not concern us, we did not interfere. But now, if that Gu Miao really set fire to the village, Miao De's house would definitely bear the brunt of the attack! You know, he was still lying at Miao's house.
