In fact, the words that Yang Jing just translated from the inscriptions on the stone tablet can only be guaranteed to be the closest to the original meaning. After all, this is inscriptions, not Chinese characters.
But from the translated contents, it can be seen that Yue Chengzi set up four traps in this Heibulun Cave to protect the imperial seal and the treasures bestowed upon him by the emperor. According to the translated contents, they are traps, flying stones, and arrows. If the last dragon-breaking stone is included, there are a total of five traps!
Just from the names of these traps, it is chilling. Yang Jing does not think that the traps that Yuechengzi spent so much effort to build are just paper tigers to scare people.
Given how ruthless Yue Chengzi was to himself, the traps he set up in this cave could definitely be fatal.
It is no wonder that Yue Chengzi regarded the imperial seal as more important than his own life, so he would naturally do everything he could to protect it. Even in the tombs of the Han and Tang dynasties, the princes and nobles, and even the emperors, set up a large number of traps in their tombs to ensure that their tombs would not be dug up by future generations, not to mention Yue Chengzi who was proficient in this area?
Asking himself honestly, Yang Jing knew that even if he were replaced by Yue Chengzi, he, who was well versed in geomancy, would definitely set up some extremely vicious traps.
These mechanisms and traps were not what frightened Yang Jing the most. What frightened Yang Jing the most was the scheming of Yuechengzi.
He had clearly set up traps that could kill many people, and he had written them down on the stone tablet outside the cave, and even listed the steps to crack these traps. But this guy didn't use normal Chinese characters to express it, but used extremely rare extinction characters.
This is a typical, blatantly scheming bitch! Oh, no, it should be a scheming man!
Obviously, Yue Chengzi didn't want the imperial seal to be buried here forever, and he also hoped that future generations would be able to find it. But he was obviously afraid that tomb robbers or other people would find it, so he used this extremely rare extinction text to explain the imperial seal and the situation here.
Although the Tanwen or Shuishu appeared very early, at that time, apart from the Shui people living in the deep mountains and forests of Guizhou Province, there were probably only a very small number of Taoists with real skills in the entire Chinese land who could understand this kind of writing.
And if one is not the inheritor of Yue Chengzi, or is not a descendant of the same school as Yue Chengzi, it is absolutely impossible to understand the contents engraved on this stone tablet.
If the younger generations who were related to Yue Chengzi saw this stele, they would naturally follow the instructions on the stele to easily find the imperial seal and the treasures that Li Congke had bestowed on Yue Chengzi. But if the people who came here could not understand what was engraved on the stele, then their fate would most likely be death.
The Lu Ban Box was made in 934, the year when Li Congke ascended the throne. It is very likely that it was carefully made by Yue Chengzi after he became the official in the Ministry of Rites and had sufficient resources.
Then when Yue Chengzi finished all this, he hand-painted the silk and hid it in the Lu Ban box, hoping that his descendants would be able to obtain these treasures here.
This is Yuechengzi’s real purpose!
Good things must be left to our descendants!
But it's no wonder. If it were me, I would probably do the same!
However, Yue Chengzi, who had spent so much effort, probably never thought that all that he had left behind had been completely hidden for more than a thousand years because the Lu Ban box was separated for some unknown reason. And if he had not discovered the treasure of the last Tsar and found half of the Lu Ban box in it, I am afraid that this secret would have been hidden forever.
Now, I have obtained the Lu Ban Box, and I have also spent so much effort to get here. So, Senior Yue Chengzi, I will accept these treasures you have stored on behalf of your descendants.
"I don't care what treasures Li Congke has rewarded you with, but the Imperial Seal is the treasure of the entire China, and it must not be hidden here! So, I'm sorry, senior!" Yang Jing muttered a few words in a low voice, and his eyes were fixed on the dark cave behind the stone tablet...
