Chapter 171: Chapter 148: Qin’s Bright Moon, General’s Treasures (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Pass) _2

It was because of this incident,

that he was desperately eager to obtain that chaotic treasure.

Ren Changxing’s expression also looked somewhat unpleasant as he too recalled the scene of that day.

"I don’t know if they have some unique sense,

but from analyzing their identities, it’s quite clear.

Jacob is from the Northern European United Music and Theology Academy; he was following his mentor, the Linhai University archaeology professor Zhuang Ziwen...

He studied theology and has absorbed knowledge of Zhuxia’s archaeology, his perspective might be different from ours. He took the Broken Mirror and left immediately, there’s always his reasoning for it."

At this point, Ren Changxing paused in his tone.

"And then there’s Dong Qingshan...

Although he may seem to behave normally, deep down, he is actually an ancient person.

What era are we in now, and he still clings to his Xingyi Boxing Gym.

He only recruits students who are passionate about Zhuxia’s traditional martial arts. Despite his extraordinary abilities, he blends into the lower tiers of society, taking side jobs and odd jobs to pay for his daughter’s tuition fees...

One can imagine what kind of character this man is.

Old-fashioned, conservative, clinging to the incomplete, holding a great regard for historical heritage."

"Did you notice anything unusual?"

"Both of these individuals highly value ancient heritage and history; despite different nationalities and skin colors, their thoughts might be similar."

"Actually, from their point of view, one can almost understand what’s going on. General Yin Fu, the tomb owner, had a peculiar status.

The things he treasured were certainly stranger.

According to the inscriptions within the tomb, he was indeed a general during the Qin dynasty, that part is true, but there are many doubts that no one can explain.

He was merely a general, yet why was the scale of his tomb comparable to that of royalty?"

"Moreover, as a general from the Qin dynasty, with the ability to command such formidable manpower and resources to construct such a grand tomb and have so many treasures accompanying him in death, why is there no record of him in ancient history?

Even in unofficial histories or legends, no one has ever heard of his name."

"What’s stranger yet, beside him was a gold and jade booklet recording his title and status, addressing him as ’Imperial Teacher’. Which emperor’s teacher was he? After his death, rather than being buried near the Qin Capital, he was instead buried in the southeastern region of Linhai..."

All these mysteries, in fact, have no explanation.

The esoteric scholars and archaeology professors have only provided some speculations."

Ren Changxing, still somewhat astonished, said, "Such a mysterious and highly-ranked general, yet his heart’s position contained a Jade Box with three broken mirrors, seemingly more important than Cang Yue’s precious blade and the General’s Tiger Talisman."

"From this, one can see just how precious the three pieces of Broken Mirror really are."

"Luckily, when we realized that something was amiss, we isolated all those professors immediately, preventing any overly important information from leaking. Otherwise, it would be Zhuxia’s special departments arriving today..."

Chen Ziwen snorted coldly.

Thinking of how he had worked so hard, and others ended up reaping the benefits, his eyes reddened with anger.

"It’s okay that the old man took the Tiger Talisman and a fragment of the Broken Mirror because he’s the father, and I can’t compete with him...

But what of Dong Qingshan and Jacob? They snatched the greatest benefits right from under our noses."

"The elder wanted to offer that wonderful relic to the Eternal Life Group for research and integrate Taihe Pharmaceuticals into the Eternal Life Group in exchange for a directorship. It’s understandable, after all, the technology there is quite covetable..."

"He wanted to live a little longer, and was capable of any strange maneuver. Now it’s impossible to snatch it anyway, and I guess the staff from the Eternal Life Group who are handling the relic must have arrived."

Ren Changxing didn’t pay much attention, "The Tiger Talisman is even stronger than that Treasure Sword, possessing a strange power, but of course, if we can’t get it, we can’t get it..."

"In the current situation, having it as the young master would only bring unnecessary trouble."

"The Broken Mirror in the elder’s hands, after all the tests, merely has the ability to store items. It sounds like the mythological storage treasures, but it has a major flaw; it can’t be used often..."

"It can’t hold many items before it needs to sleep, which makes it a rather useless object."

"If it were a national-level power wanting to study spatial technology, they would be determined to have it, but for us, it’s just so."

"On the other hand, the two pieces of Broken Mirror obtained by Jacob and Dong Qingshan, their extremely mystical aspects are indeed very useful. It’s too bad if we can’t get them."

He thought of the uses of these two Broken Mirrors.

Ren Changxing was both curious and regretful.

"Yes, Jacob jumped into the sea and fled, never to be found again. I wonder if he drowned?

"Dong Qingshan, on the other hand, actually fled toward the urban area. He probably doesn’t know just how powerful Taihe is in Dongjiang."

Chen Ziwen sneered: "Just over one night, his qi-blood became dozens of times stronger. His martial arts were so formidable that he could withstand a heavily armed squad and even dodge bullets..."

"Doesn’t it plainly tell me that the mirror can evolve a person, allowing one to ascend to the heavens in a single step?"

"Exactly, whether it’s the Broken Mirror from the elder or the one in Jacob’s possession, they can only be considered external aids.

"In this era, only personal advancement and evolution are the truly precious things. The fact that Zhou Ping’an fortuitously got his hands on that mirror... Who else but him should die?"

Thinking of Jacob, the two then recalled the recorder they obtained later.

There were thirty-eight fully armed experts chasing Jacob initially.

Actually, by the time they reached the seaside, they had almost surrounded him...

The last image shown in the recorder was of Jacob waving his hand just before jumping into the sea, and then, over ten shadows of billowing black smoke rushed forward, accompanied by screams on all sides...

All thirty-eight men, not one survived. They all died horrifically, as if something strange had sucked their blood dry, leaving their bodies skin and bones.

As a result, they involuntarily gave up on finding the Northern European student afterward.

Mainly because they were somewhat worried and scared.

Having not understood what those shadows were, and not confirming whether the shadows still existed, even Chen Ziwen and Ren Changxing, no matter how much they liked to gamble, dared not risk their lives to test whether Jacob could still employ such tactics.

Another reason was what Ren Changxing said.

Although Jacob had conjured up some bizarre and eerie stuff, he himself was quite average...

Besides having decent physical and endurance abilities and being relatively quick, in a fight, even a single armed man could overpower him.

Compared to the mirror Dong Qingshan took, it seemed far more dangerous and less beneficial."

"Nothing compares to rapidly enhancing one’s own strength, it’s more important than anything else."

"With great power invested within oneself, all external things can naturally be obtained."

"Both Chen Ziwen and Ren Changxing understood this clearly."
