Chapter 191: Mechanism, Believe in Fate or Not

Jade pendant?

Xu Jingheng was not very clear about what the jade pendant that several people were talking about was.

The only thing he knew was that this place had also been discovered by other colleagues.

By touching it, they found that it was a groove. The pattern on it was generally circular, with irregular protrusions inside.

Some people suspect that this is a mechanism, but unfortunately, they have not found the key to this mechanism so far. They don’t even know what is behind this mechanism, so they have never dared to touch it rashly.

This is no secret either, Xu Jingheng put forward the ideas of the archaeologists.

"Mechanism? Could it be a secret room?"

Tang Qianshuo, a fan of tomb-robbing novels, blurted out the answer. After receiving looks from all directions, he hesitantly explained, "Novels...are all written like this..."

Xu Jingheng: "Maybe there really is a tomb hidden behind it, but unfortunately, we didn't find the key."

"Is the key something that can be stuck on here?" asked Qiao Zhijing.

Xu Jingheng nodded, "Maybe."

Qiao Zhijing and Tang Qianshuo, who recognized the pattern, looked at Xu Zhao at the same time.

Tang Qianshuo was the first to lose his temper and asked, "Sister Zhaozhao, did you bring the jade pendant?"

His voice was loud, and it immediately brought Xu Zhao's thoughts back from the void.

"Dad," Xu Zhao patted his father's shoulder, "I need to trouble your student to go upstairs and get something for me."

The first person to come to the door to greet the guests was Xu Jingheng's student. He was very familiar with the layout of the tomb passage. He returned to the ground as quickly as possible and found what Xu Zhao said.

When he returned to the main coffin room, he was seen holding a wooden box in his hands.

"Teacher, here you go."

Xu Jingheng took the box and said, "Is this... golden nanmu?"

The texture and luster of the wood allowed him to recognize the wood at a glance.

"That's right, but it's not important. What's important is what's inside." Xu Zhao gestured to his father to open the box.

The moment the box was opened, Xu Jingheng was also stunned.

this……

He walked quickly to the groove in the wall and raised the box in his hand to compare it with the pattern in the groove.

That’s right, it’s this pattern!

"Zhao Zhao, where did you get this jade pendant?" Xu Jingheng was overjoyed and grabbed Xu Zhao's hand, fearing that she would run away.

Without waiting for Xu Zhao to answer, he immediately said to his student: "Go and inform the other professors! Tell them that there is a major discovery!"

Xu Jingheng's students had just caught their breath and now ran quickly outside.

Excited, Xu Zhao replied, "This was given to me by the abbot of Baoguo Temple when I participated in the show before. He said it was left behind a thousand years ago."

"Baoguo Temple... Baoguo Temple..." Xu Jingheng muttered the name to himself, "Yes, I have seen in ancient books that the royal temple of Yue Kingdom is called this name. It seems that there is a high possibility that something from Yue Kingdom is hidden behind this mechanism."

"It's God's will. After all the twists and turns, we finally found the key!" Xu Jingheng smiled, holding the golden nanmu box in his hand.

As the ancients said: The boat will naturally straighten itself when it reaches the bridge.

After they discovered the mark groove, they searched for the "key" in the tomb but found nothing, so they had to put the matter aside for the time being.

There are too many unsolved mysteries in the ancient tomb, all of which have been put on hold. We can only deal with them one by one, and they will all be dealt with eventually.

The ancients also said: There is another village after the dark willows and bright flowers.

The "key" was actually delivered directly to them.

"That's not right? Wasn't the jade pendant bought in the Antique Street?" Tang Qianshuo had not forgotten that Xu Zhao had picked up two genuine items at that time. How did it become something he got in Baoguo Temple?

He was very tall and could see the jade pendant in the wooden box by just looking up slightly. "The jade pendant in the box is not the same one as before." He remembered that the one he bought at the Antique Street had a chip, but the one Mr. Xu was holding in his hand now was intact, obviously different from the one he bought at the Antique Street.

Qiao Zhijing witnessed the scene of Xu Zhao buying the jade pendant. After hearing what Xu Zhao said, he also looked at the jade pendant in the box held by Xu Jingheng, "Yes, the one bought in the antique street has a chip, and this one is intact. Zhao Zhao, you have two of these jade pendants."

Qiao Zhijing thought of this possibility at the first moment, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why the two jade pendants were different.

Xu Zhao asked back directly: "Didn't either of you watch the last episode?" How the jade pendant was obtained was clearly recorded in the last episode.

Tang Qianshuo scratched his head, "I only had time to watch the last part of the story."

The content of the variety show in the beginning is not important, the short story performed later is the acceptance of his learning results. Facts have proved that his efforts in acting have indeed paid off.

"I haven't had time to see it yet." Qiao Zhijing said without hiding it.

Xu Zhao: “…”

Okay, forgive them.

They are all busy people.

Xu Zhao: "For more details, please watch the previous episode."

"Teacher Xu, why don't you let me try this jade pendant?" He was too excited just now and called out "Dad". Now that he has calmed down, Xu Zhao called out "Teacher Xu" again.

"this……"

Xu Jingheng looked down at the jade pendant in his hand. He knew that Zhao Zhao wanted to move the mechanism. In theory, this matter was the business of the archaeological team and she should not be allowed to interfere.

But this jade pendant was brought by Zhao Zhao, it belongs to Zhao Zhao...

He advised: "Everything behind this mechanism is unknown and may be dangerous. Let the archaeological team open it."

Xu Zhao licked his dry lips, shook his head, and asked a seemingly insignificant question: "Teacher Xu, do you believe in fate?"

The response to Xu Zhao was silence. Not only was Xu Jingheng unable to answer her, but even the other guests looked confused, not knowing where her question came from.

When filming was taken today, many experts from the archaeological team were not at the archaeological site, and it would probably take some time for them to rush over.

Somehow, Xu Zhao felt that there was something very important waiting for her behind this mechanism.

She didn't want to wait any longer.

"Teacher Xu, do you know why the abbot gave me this jade pendant?"

"Why?"

"Because it has been waiting for me." Xu Zhao was answering the question of whether he believed in fate.

It was destined that she would find back the white jade mandarin duck pendant that belonged to her and Shen Yu.

It was destined that this mechanism would require the use of this jade pendant.

So, it was as if this mechanism was waiting for her.

Waiting for her to open it.

Knowing that what he said was too fantastical, Xu Zhao explained: "At that time, I was drawing lots in the Moon Temple and threw out a very good lot. I was the only one who got this lot in all these years. The abbot gave me this jade pendant because of this very good lot."

This is fate.

"Since it's a good sign, there's no danger." Xu Zhao said firmly, "Let me open this mechanism."
