Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 2513: Stranger

Lin Ran was already in a dilemma because he found scales and skin underneath.

They listened to themselves and took off their armor.

But I don’t know if I can directly unlock the armor.

Fortunately, after being reminded by Wang Jinpeng, I finally remembered that just after obtaining the wooden box yesterday, the big tree suddenly opened and the bronze coffin fell out of it.

Before going to bed yesterday, Lin Ran was still thinking about this matter, but after waking up, he forgot about it due to the urging of other team members.

Now that he suddenly remembered it, Lin Ran immediately put down his backpack and took out the wooden box from inside.

Yesterday, because of the sudden incident, he didn't have time to examine it carefully, but just took a rough look at the texture on the surface.

Now when I took it out and looked at it, I found that there was a piece of green jade inlaid in the center of this wooden box.

The role of jade is self-evident. In ancient times, it was used to ward off evil spirits and represent a gentleman.

Most of them will be made into jade pendants instead of inlaid on wooden boxes. This is the first time Lin Ran has seen this.

As for the wood material of the carved wooden box, Lin Ran couldn't tell for a while, but he could feel that it was carved from a whole piece of wood. The appearance was relatively simple, and the texture on the surface was also a very ordinary colorful cloud pattern, just depicting a gold edge.

Lin Ran picked up the bronze key from before and inserted it into the keyhole.

With the rotation, the wooden box was opened.

Inside, a book is placed.

This is a silk book inlaid with gold edges.

Because of the material, it is quite well preserved.

Lin Ran felt happy and opened the scroll.

When I opened it, I found that the text inside turned out to be from the Warring States Period.

The first line from the left reads...

"Persia is in mourning."

Immediately following is a row of densely packed small characters.

Lin Ran didn't understand the meaning of these six words, but the combination of the first two words seemed to be ancient Persia?

This is interesting. Could it be that the figures in the tomb are Persians from the Warring States Period?

During the middle period of the Warring States Period, the Persian Kingdom quietly developed.

Around 550 BC, Cyrus the Great took control of Persia, and within the next 10 years, he unified the tribes and established a new empire.

This empire seemed ordinary, but in fact, during that time, it ruled more than one-fifth of the world's population.

被 称为

——Achaemenid Dynasty.

According to historical records, after Cyrus came to the throne, the first thing he did was to mobilize manpower to conquer the Medes.

Then he took advantage of the situation and captured the Assyrian Kingdom in one fell swoop, consolidated his forces, and after two years of recuperation, he formed an army and captured Greece.

Then, other ancient civilizations were not spared, and ancient Babylon also fell.

Before the death of Cyrus in 529 AD, the borders of the Achaemenid Empire had been exaggerated to the borders of the Curry Kingdom today.

Although China has always had a unique advantage in terms of population, it should not underestimate itself.

After Cyrus, during the period of Darius I, the empire further expanded and became the largest empire in the world at that time.

They even tried to get involved in China's territory, but unfortunately, with the world's highest mountain range as a natural barrier, they simply couldn't extend their black hands into China.

The actual situation is hard to say. If it weren't for the existence of the mountains, it's hard to draw a conclusion about who occupied who.

There are no records of exchanges between the Warring States Period and Persia in history books. After all, in this era, navigation had not yet officially emerged, and exchanges between countries were very difficult. Unless it was conquest, it would be difficult to bring one's own culture to other places.

Only some ascetics will go to other countries to study alone in order to seek the true meaning of Buddhism. Occasionally they will bring back some scriptures, and sometimes they will bring some capable people from other countries to follow them to practice.

If the words above were not from the Warring States Period, Lin Ran would definitely think it was due to space.

In this way, this person should have served a country during the Warring States Period, and then built this tomb after his death, becoming part of the legendary ancient tomb.

Compared to armor, this book is actually more valuable for research.

In ancient times, those who could read and write were all elegant people, and they had a certain understanding of everything in the world.

The words left behind are obviously processed works of art.

In the process of archaeological work, archaeologists give priority to searching for ancient books. Writing is a symbol of civilization. As long as books can be found, this period of history can be unearthed.

However, books usually incorporate personal reflections and are inevitably biased.

At this time, archaeologists are needed to conduct screening.

Some are biographical literature, while others are simply ancient novel-like books.

This silk book is obviously documentary literature.

It records the life of the tomb owner. He came to Qi from a distant country to serve. However, due to the opposition of the powerful at that time, it was impossible to show his face in the hall.

People in ancient times were not as fond of foreigners as we are today. They would directly classify strange-looking people as aliens, and even treat them as animals.

But the person in front of me was different. A biography was specially compiled for him, which recorded many things.

At a cursory glance, most of them are just bragging words without much research value.

The most important thing inside is the record of Changshengyong.

It's really called that.

However, there were so many people and things involved in this passage that even Lin Ran couldn't translate it in a short time. Now was not the time for archaeological work, so he took a quick look at it. Then he closed the book.

The contents of the ancient books discussed at the previous meeting are very similar.

The only thing special is this cave.

Back then, this unknown Persian brought his army here to dig out the mountain wall. Originally, he just wanted to dig out war fortifications so that they could take the lead in the next war with Zhao.

The result was unexpected, and an ancient tomb was dug inside.

They also brought some Feng Shui masters and alchemists with them, but they were unable to determine the age of the ancient tomb.

Out of curiosity, they excavated the ancient tomb.

It was found that this was a very complicated tomb, filled with mechanisms arranged using the Five Elements and Bagua, which caused the excavators to suffer a great deal.

Lin Ran hadn't had time to translate the following words.

But he has obtained enough information.

The Immortal Palace does not belong to this tomb owner, but to the original owner of the ancient tomb.

"There should be no problem." Lin Ran said, and he also concluded that their journey was far from the end.

This ancient tomb connects several countries, but once you get here, you should be very close to the end.

"You can take off his armor." Lin Ran said to Xu Ning.

All that can be done has been done, and the rest is left to fate.
