09 Stone flakes

After breakfast, the two came to Sarah Ancient City and walked into the Hill International Hotel.

When he arrived outside Tang Ning's door, Wu Youyou rang the doorbell.

Tang Ning heard the doorbell and walked over quickly, opened the door, "Youyou..."

She saw Jiang Xi behind Wu Youyou at first sight, and couldn't help but be stunned, "You are..."

"She is Jiang Xi, and she is my sister." Wu Youyou looked at Jiang Xi, "Xi Xi, she is Tang Ning."

Jiang Xi smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, "Hello."

"Hello," Tang Ning shook hands with her, looked at Wu Youyou, "Let's talk."

"good!"

The two walked into the room.

Tang Ning closed the door, came to the living room, and asked them to sit down.

"Xixi's father, Uncle Qin Hua, was also a 409 person during his lifetime," Wu Youyou said, "I came this time to avenge Uncle Qin Hua."

Tang Ning understood.

She looked at Jiang Xi, "It turns out that Miss Jiang is the daughter of Senior Qin Hua..."

Jiang Xi breathed lightly, "I was born before my father died. My mother still doesn't know that my father is an agent."

"I know this," said Tang Ning, "When Senior Qin Hua passed away, he was not married yet, but because this matter is quite special, 409 did not disclose Senior Qin Hua's identity to Miss Jiang."

She looked at Wu Youyou, "Before we came, Director He also talked about this matter. She said that if the cultural relic could be retrieved this time, the identity of Senior Qin Hua would be revealed."

Wu Youyou nodded.

"What kind of cultural relic is it?" Jiang Xi couldn't help asking.

"It's a piece of stone." Tang Ning took out his phone, entered the triple password, opened a folder, found a picture, and handed the phone to Jiang Xi, "It's this, you can look back."

Jiang Xi took the phone and looked carefully.

"This stone slab comes from the tomb of King Cheng of the Western Zhou Dynasty," Tang Ning introduced, "You see there are very exquisite patterns and a string of mysterious spell symbols on it. Experts at that time said that this stone slab is not a hot summer thing, and should have been transmitted from the Mesopotamia Basin. This shows that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Zhou people visited the Mesopotamia Basin and fought with the tribes in the Mesopotamia Basin at that time and won victory. Therefore, they brought this stone slab back to the Silk Summer as a spoil. This stone slab may change history, its impact is extremely far-reaching, and its cultural value is immeasurable, and it can be called a national treasure."

Jiang Xi nodded seriously.

"Nineteen years ago, this stone piece disappeared," Tang Ning continued, "A senior of 409 used numerology to deduce it, and finally concluded that this national treasure would appear in a temple in the center of the ancient city of Sara. 409 sent three seniors here and waited here for a long time, but the stone piece did not appear. Later, Senior Qin Hua..."

She was afraid that Jiang Xi would be sad, so she didn't say anything.

Jiang Xi sighed softly, returned the phone to her, and smiled at her, "Thank you sister..."

Tang Ning took the phone and nodded.

She turned to look at Wu Youyou, "What are you going to do about this?"

Wu Youyou took her cell phone and looked at the photo, "This stone piece comes from the Temple of the Underworld. The spell on it is one with the spell in the Temple of the Underworld..."

"The Temple of the Underworld?" Tang Ning was stunned.

Wu Youyou nodded.

"But nineteen years ago, Senior Qin Hua said that the spell on this stone piece and the spell of the Temple of the Underworld are not the same symbol." Tang Ning was puzzled, "This is a completely different text of civilizations, how could it be..."

"This spell is a secret word left by a goddess of the underworld," Wu Youyou explained, "There are three secret words in total, originally engraved on the ground in the center of the temple of the Underworld. The goddess used three secret words to open the gate of the Underworld and performed a secret mission. After the mission was completed, she also returned to the underworld through the gate of the Underworld. Before she returned, she dug out the stone slabs of two of the spells and handed them over to the two nobles of Sara City, and ordered them to send the two stone slabs to the east and to the most powerful king in the east; and one was sent thousands of miles northwest, where there was an island, buried the stone slabs on the mountain of the island."

"Why did she do this?" asked Tang Ning.

"Because these three spells can open the door to the underworld," Wu Youyou said, "She separates the three spells to prevent future generations from spying on the underworld."

"Then why didn't she destroy the spell?" Jiang Xi also asked, "Why don't you worry about that?"

"She can't, nor dares." Wu Youyou looked at the two girls, "because that was disrespectful to the Pluto..."

"Is it disrespectful to destroy two stone slabs with spells engraved?" asked Tang Ning.

"You don't understand mantras, so you don't understand," Wu Youyou said, "Mantras are not as simple as a symbol. They are a kind of power, a kind of awe, and even more a kind of faith. For example, if you believe in Buddhism, when you see a stone carved with Buddhist scriptures, Buddha statues or Buddhist mantras, you will naturally develop a sense of respect and it is impossible to destroy this stone, right?"

Tang Ning understood and nodded.

"It's true," Jiang Xi agreed. "For example, my father left nothing for me, he only left an adventure diary. Every time I see that diary, it's like seeing my dad, so over the years, I have been careful to keep that diary and never let others touch it."

"That's the truth," Wu Youyou said.

"That makes sense," Tang Ning looked at him. "A week ago, a stone tablet was unearthed in England, which had the same pattern as the stone tablet we lost, but it was a different spell. It should be the goddess of the underworld who sent me to England."

"The piece in the tomb of King Zhou was unearthed and stolen, and then brought here; this piece in Britain was unearthed and stolen," said Wu Youyou, "The one who stole these two stones was the same thief. He will come here tonight and send the piece in Britain to the Temple of the Underworld."

"Sent to the Temple of the Underworld?" Tang Ning's heart moved, "That means, the piece we threw away before is still in the Temple of the Underworld?"

Wu Youyou nodded.

"How is this possible?" Tang Ning couldn't figure it out, "Nineteen years ago, Senior Qin Hua and his friends searched the entire Temple of the Underworld, but they didn't find the stone tablet..."

"You were wrong..." Wu Youyou paused, "At the last moment, Uncle Qin Hua discovered it, so..."

He looked at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi understood.
