Ode to

The tree in the picture has luxuriant branches and leaves. If you look carefully, the veins of each leaf, the texture of each branch, and the thread of the thick trunk are all clearly drawn. This is not something that can be solved by rumors.

"Does this tree really exist?"

Zhang Qiling did not answer. A large part of the possibility of being written into the patriarch's notes is that these are authentic. This bronze sacred tree may have been made by the Zhang family. Even if it was not made by the Zhang family, it must be related to Zhang. The family can't get rid of the relationship.

"At that time, let's go and see this tree." Only after seeing this tree can the answer be solved.

Scrolling down, the remaining pictures were all the pictures they had seen in the album in the ancient tomb, except for the flower.

"These sketch-like handwritings are similar to those in the picture book. It feels like it should be the handwriting of two people." Zhang Zhan took out the picture book from the small room and opened the same few paintings, which were basically the same.

"The owner of this picture album should have a very deep relationship with the first patriarch. Zhang Qiling, let's look through this picture album first. I read some of them last time and haven't had a chance to read them until now."

Zhang Zhan continued to turn down, and the sixth page was a sketch of the black gold ancient knife. After seeing this page, it is almost certain that the owner of the album should be one of the Zhang family's crafting masters.The next few pages are full of sketches of some black gold weapons, which Zhang Qiling has seen before, and they are basically weapons passed down from generation to generation by the Zhang family. On page No. 20, some metal balls are drawn, big and small. There are four pages in total, and they don’t look like weapons. In the lower right corner, only heavy balls are written, and the album ends here.

"Zhang Qiling, what are these balls for?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head slightly, put down the album and turned to look at the remaining notes in the ebony box. The remaining notes were basically some bizarre experiences of the head of the Zhang family's tomb robbery.The notes are basically complete, except for the eighth patriarch.

An outsider appeared in this notebook, his name is Wang Zanghai.Zhang Qiling calculated the time, and it should be around the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.Before the Yuan Dynasty, the Zhang family always had several important members of the Zhang family active in the court, but because the Mongols competed in the Central Plains, the Zhang family hibernated at this time.There are two reasons. One is that the Han people of the Zhang family have a low status in the Yuan Dynasty; the other is that in order to avoid the massive suppression of the Han clan by the Mongols at that time, it was time to use another base camp selected by the Zhang family thousands of years ago. All the Zhang family went to this site in batches to build another Zhang family mansion.

Due to the particularity of the Zhang family, the Zhang family mansion was not so easy to build, and it had to be done quietly, so the whole project took a long time, and it still didn't take shape until the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the Central Plains was occupied by the Han people again.At this time, Wang Zanghai, a favorite of the then emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, came to the side branch house in the northeast of the Zhang family. The name of Wang Zanghai was no stranger to the Zhang family at that time, because his occupation had something to do with the ancient tomb. A master of architecture and Fengshui.

The reason why he came to the Zhang family was because he was accepting the appointment of Zhu Yuanzhang to build the imperial tomb after the death of the emperor, and he knew from the older generation of the Wang family that the Zhang family had been dealing with ancient tombs since ancient times.At that time, the patriarch of the branch of the Zhang family felt very surprised after hearing it. The Zhang family has been engaged in occupations since ancient times. Wang Zanghai was dismissed.Instead, he told the real head of Zhang's family about it.

The patriarch couldn't find the name from the huge family tree of the Zhang family, so he signaled the patriarch of the side branch to make friends with Wang Zanghai.Only then did I realize that the older generation of the Wang family is a descendant of a side branch of the Zhang family who ran away during the first internal strife of the Zhang family thousands of years ago, so I only know that the Zhang family has dealt with ancient tombs since ancient times, but they don't know the real secret of the Zhang family .Therefore, the Zhang family felt relieved to use Wang Zanghai to become active again in the imperial court, but they did not expect that Wang Zanghai was as meticulous as a hair, and the city was extremely deep.

During the step-by-step communication, he found that Zhang's family lived a long life, almost immortal.Zhang Qiling thought that this was probably because Wang Zanghai lived without the Zhang family's parents, so he felt that the Zhang family's life span would have no end.Immortality is a fatal temptation for anyone in the world. Who in the world does not desire to live forever?

Wang Zanghai began to use the imperial court and his position to dig out the secrets of the Zhang family's longevity step by step, and successfully used this inducement to instigate a group of Zhang family members, and even a direct descendant of the Zhang family. When the patriarch found out, Wang Zanghai He has almost touched the edge of the Zhang family's core secrets. Due to the mutiny of one of the direct descendants of the Zhang family, he even knew that the secret that the Zhang family has been guarding for generations is hidden in the extreme building of the Zhang family mansion - the ultimate, and he used Zhang's backhand Some utensils made by home convey this secret.Of course, this immediately stimulated the head of the Zhang family. He personally led people to hunt down and kill Wang Zanghai. After that, there was no more content in this notebook.
