Chapter 238 Friends from the Modern Times

Jiang Jiu was awakened by the chirping of birds around him.

Early in the morning, she heard the birds singing, but she didn't find it pleasant at all, she just felt it was noisy.

I couldn't help but cover my ears.

"It's so annoying, stop yelling."

Zhao Zhuoxi chuckled, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the bird. The bird flew away, and at the same time a flock of birds also flew up.

Suddenly, everything around was very quiet.

Jiang Jiu fell asleep again.

She didn't know how long it had been, but she felt the sunlight around her was very dazzling, and she finally woke up and forced herself to open her eyes.

I didn't see any fog today, but I did see sunlight shining through the leaves, one streak after another, and in some places there were even colorful halos.

I sat up dazedly and found that everyone was awake. The bonfire was still lit, with a pheasant roasting on it.

"Are you hungry? Eat something."

Zhao Zhuoxi tore a chicken leg for her and handed it to her.

Jiang Jiu was hungry, so he ate the freshly baked cake in big mouthfuls.

It was obvious that everyone was waiting for her, but they had already marked the way back, so they were not in a hurry.

As for the man, he was still tied up and leaning against a tree, taking a nap.

"Hey, are you hungry? If you are hungry, wake up and eat something." Lu Ming kicked him.

The man woke up.

Lu Ming released his hand and gave him a piece of chicken. He was really hungry and ate it voraciously.

Since he had nothing to do anyway, Zhao Zhuoxi began to interrogate him.

"What's your name? Where are you from? What are you doing in this forbidden area?"

The man seemed to be tamed and no longer stubborn. He swallowed what was in his mouth and answered obediently.

"My name is Li Ke. Anyway, I am not from here. I came here because there is a big tomb in this mountain. I came here to look for this tomb."

The high priest was puzzled: "Are you from Yunzhai? But a true Yunzhai person would not let anyone find this tomb. Who are you?"

Li Ke sighed and didn't know how to explain it.

"I'm really not from Yunzhai, and I really want to find this tomb. I'm not a tomb robber, I'm an archaeologist, an archaeologist... Do you understand?"

They don’t understand, because in ancient times, there was no such thing as archaeology.

But Jiang Jiu understood.

Jiang Jiu was stunned for a moment: "Are you an archaeologist? A modern person?"

Li Ke was also stunned when he heard Jiang Jiu's words, and actually started to exchange secret signals.

"Palace Jade Wine"

Jiang Jiu: "One hundred and eighty cups."

Li Ke was startled again: "The symbol depends on the quadrant."

Jiang Jiu: "Odds change, but evens don't."

These are our own people. Li Ke found the organization and stood up excitedly.

"Five words floated from the sky."

Jiang Jiu responded again: "That's not a big deal."

Li Ke looked at Jiang Jiu again, as if he had seen a relative, with tears in his eyes.

"Comrade, I finally found you."

Jiang Jiu was also very depressed. He actually saw another time traveler here.

"Brother, where are you from? When did you come here? What year is it over there?"

Li Ke was so excited that he almost cried and spoke in dialect.

"I'm Chuan Chuan's. I've only been here a short time. Today is the 22nd year for me."

"We excavated an ancient tomb in Sanxingdui. I went there to participate in the excavation. Who knew that the car would overturn on the cliff? When I woke up, I was here."

"Beauty, where are you from? How long have you been wearing this? What year are you from?"

Jiang Jiu was certain that the other party, Li Ke, was a modern person.

"I'm from Suzhou, a bank employee. I was in a car accident and came here 20 years ago. I've been here for more than half a year."

Jiang Jiu held his forehead and said, "Lu Ming, untie his rope, he is one of us."

Here, except for Jiang Jiu and Li Ke, no one could understand anything about their conversation.

Especially Jiang Jiu's hometown dialect and Li Keyong's Sichuan dialect, the two of them spoke like they were encrypted, which made people confused.

Jiang Jiu asked again: "Since you are here, why do you want to come here?"

Li Ke sighed and said, "You don't know, this is the most coveted place in our archaeological community, the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West. According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West not only has the elixir of immortality, but also a turntable that travels through time and space."

"After I woke up, I was a member of Yun Village. I found out that the Yun Village people had been guarding the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West for more than a thousand years. I also found out the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West and planned to find it and go back. Who knew that I got lost in the woods and was rescued by that girl."

so it is.

Jiang Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then why did you kidnap her?"

Li Ke sighed again: "How did I kidnap her? She is a healer, a doctor who knows about herbs. I just asked her to help. When I find the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, I will naturally let her go."

"Besides, I marked the route along the way, so she won't get lost."

Jiang Jiu was speechless: "Then do you know that this place is their forbidden area?"

Li Ke just thought it was ridiculous: "Forbidden area? As archaeologists, what place can't we dig? In our eyes, there is no such thing as a forbidden area. We just made it up because we were afraid that they would find the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West."

Well, modern people mainly don’t believe in superstition.

Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and said, "But this place is far away, and it's just a legend. Are you sure you can find it? I think it's better for you to stay here. As a modern person, you have many advantages if you stay in ancient times."

Unexpectedly, Li Ke shook his head gently: "I don't want it. I just graduated from school and just signed a contract. My first task is to dig Sanxingdui. A bright future is waiting for me. Besides, my girlfriend is waiting for me at home. We agreed that we will get married when I return. We have already bought a house. You want me to stay here, but I don't want to."

Jiang Jiu sighed helplessly: "Okay, then let's go together. You said you have a map, can you let me see it?"

Li Ke came here alone, with no one to talk to. He was very happy to see Jiang Jiu.

He took out a very detailed map and a parchment map from his bag.

Show it to Jiang Jiu.

"This is my map. I stole it from Yunzhai. Do you see any overlaps here? This part is the palace, and this part is the temple."

"According to the specifications of ancient people for building tombs, if this is the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West, the place that can travel through time and space is on this line."

Jiang Jiu looked at it carefully again and found that it was indeed the case.

When the high priest saw the sheepskin map that Li Ke had brought, he exclaimed in amazement.

"This, this is the map that my grandmother lost. I didn't expect that it was stolen by their people in Yunzhai."

Li Ke didn't care about that. He put the map away and asked Jiang Jiu.

"Don't you miss home? Don't you want to go back? Or have you gotten used to the life here?"

Jiang Jiu touched his nose helplessly and whispered with relief.

"To be honest, I'm luckier than you. Did you see that man? He's the emperor of Daning, and I'm his empress. You tell me, I'm going to be the empress, so why should I go back?"

Li Ke looked at Zhao Zhuoxi behind Jiang Jiu with envy and shock.

I feel deeply moved: "We are both time travelers, why are you so lucky..."
