C1165 The Symbol of the Bowstring



C1165 The Symbol of the Bowstring

0"Ah? Two hundred years?"    

    

The Vermilion Bird was stunned. "That's not right. After such a long time, he should have turned into a pile of bones. Furthermore, although this person's clothes are from ancient times, they should have turned into powder after such a long time."    

    

Yang Xuan nodded slightly after hearing that." Under normal circumstances, after two hundred years, the corpse would indeed turn into a pile of bones. The clothes on the body would also turn into powder. "    

    

"The reason why I can determine that this dried corpse is at least 200 years old is because the clothes on his body belonged to the Ming Dynasty more than 200 years ago."    

    

"The environment and air here are not suitable for a corpse to not rot but dry up into a mummy. However, there are some dark purple patterns on the back of this person's hand that are similar to water ripples."    

    

"This kind of ripple will obviously not appear on a normal person. It can only mean that before this person came here,... Or perhaps after he came here, he took some special herbs. This caused his corpse to be dry and not rotting. "    

    

The red sparrow looked at the back of the dried corpse's hand carefully and indeed saw some dark purple patterns that looked like water ripples on the back of the hand.    

    

"But even so, we can still buy ancient clothes now. Perhaps this kind of medicinal herb can also be consumed not too long ago? This doesn't mean that this dried corpse has been there for more than 200 years. "    

    

After Yang Xuan heard that, he nodded slightly. "You're right. There are many things that can be imitated, but there is one thing that can't be imitated."    

    

As he spoke, Yang Xuan pointed at the finger of the dried corpse and said, "Clean up the dust here first. Be careful not to damage it."    

    

Red Sparrow was very interested in this kind of thing. She quickly squatted down and blew away the dust beside the dried corpse's finger.    

    

"Ya, what do you think this is?"    

    

After blowing away the dust, the Vermilion Bird suddenly realized that there was a very strange pattern below the dried corpse's finger.    

    

That pattern did not look like words, but more like some kind of symbol. It was somewhat similar to a bow with a string drawn, but the arrowhead was bent.    

    

The entire symbol was about the size of a palm.    

    

What was inconceivable was that this dried corpse's finger was inserted into the last stroke of this symbol.    

    

In other words, this symbol was forcefully carved onto the hard rocky ground by this person using the strength of his finger!    

    

Yang Xuan explained, "From the traces of the weathering of this symbol, it is absolutely not a fake. This is enough to prove that this dried corpse was indeed left behind at least 200 years ago."    

    

The red sparrow nodded while clicking its tongue in amazement. "I didn't expect it to be true. This person was actually able to use his finger to carve such a symbol on the rock. This means that his cultivation is about the same as mine, and he's also a martial artist."    

    

Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "His cultivation base should be slightly higher than yours."    

    

"Ah?"    

    

Red Sparrow was somewhat unconvinced and said, "How is this possible? I can also use my fingers to carve words on the rock. If you don't believe me, I'll carve it for you right now. I'll carve Yang Xuan as a pile of poop..."    

    

"Can you stop it?"    

    

Black lines appeared on Yang Xuan's forehead. He could not figure out how this girl's brain worked. She was still fighting even at this point in time.    

    

Even if she wanted to engrave words, she had to engrave herself as a pile of Papa if she did not engrave anything good.    

    

"I know you can also use your fingers to carve words, but the situation is different!"    

    

Yang Xuan pointed at the dried corpse and said, "Judging from the posture of this dried corpse, he must have experienced something terrible before his death, and he was also seriously injured."    

    

"After escaping in a panic to this place, his physical strength couldn't help but collapse. At the last moment before his death, he used his fingers to carve this symbol."    

    

"It's not difficult for you to use your finger to carve words on the rock with your cultivation base, but can you still do it when you are heavily injured and on the verge of death?"    

    

After the red sparrow heard this, it immediately became unhappy. "Tsk, you look like you understand everything. Since you are so stubborn, then tell me what this symbol means if you have the ability!"    

    

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "I really do know that. This symbol means that there is danger ahead. Inform those who come here to evacuate immediately."    

    

Red Sparrow laughed after hearing this and said, "I say, even if you fabricate nonsense, you should at least make up a reliable story. This is an ancient person from at least 200 years ago. He doesn't know what it means to leave behind a symbol to tell them to retreat."    

    

Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "He is not telling us, but his peers."    

    

"Together?"    

    

Red Sparrow said with a puzzled expression, "Do you know what this person is doing?"    

    

Yang Xuan looked at the symbol on the ground and said, "If I'm not wrong, this person's identity should be a professional gold-plundering officer, which is also your favorite grave robber."    

    

"Ah? He's a tomb raider, how did you know?"    

    

The red sparrow said in surprise.    

    

Yang Xuan sighed lightly and explained, "The reason is very simple. The reason why this person's clothes are still intact after more than 200 years. The reason is very simple. The reason why his clothes are still intact after more than 200 years is because his clothes are woven from the roots of a plant called Maitreya."    

    

"The threads drawn from the Maitreya roots are very hard. Apart from being incomparably tough, the woven clothes can also resist some miasma and adjust the temperature in a special environment."    

    

"A real professional tomb robber will wear this kind of clothes every time he goes down to a big grave."    

    

"However, there are very few plants like the Mahoraga. It takes a lot of Mahoraga vines to weave a piece of Mahoraga."    

    

"So this kind of clothing is very precious, those who are qualified to wear this kind of clothing are all peak grandmaster level tomb raiders, gold plundering lieutenants"    

    

"From this, it can be inferred that this person's status in the Tomb Stealing Realm was extremely high. If my inference is correct, if you flip him over, there should be a Gold Touching Talisman made from the claws of a pangolin on his neck."    

    

The Red Sparrow was confused when it heard this. Curiously, it carefully turned the dried corpse over. Indeed, there was a dark purple Gold Touching Talisman made from pangolin claws on its neck!    

    

"It really is a Golden Touching Talisman!"    

    

The red sparrow was both happy and surprised. "I've read a tomb raiding novel written by a person called Third Uncle. It mentioned the Gold Touching Talisman."    

    

"At that time, I thought that he was just making things up. I didn't think that there was such a thing. You said that Third Uncle wrote a book. Why does he know this?"    

    

Yang Xuan also knew who the writer called Third Uncle was. He had also read the famous tomb raiding novel that Red Sparrow had written.    

    

Yang Xuan also knew that the person named Third Uncle had another secret identity besides being a writer.    

    

"This involves other people's privacy, so it's not convenient for me to tell you. However, you just need to understand that the guy called Third Uncle is getting more and more 'judges'."

As he spoke, Yang Xuan let out a long sigh and said, "Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go back the way we came."    

    

"Ah?"    

    

The red sparrow asked doubtfully, "Why? We haven't even found the tomb yet. We are going back now!"    

    

Yang Xuan sighed and said, "This grave robber from at least 200 years ago saved our lives indirectly."    

    

Red Sparrow was even more confused after hearing that. "Save us? What do you mean?"
