"I haven't seen the mural, but the children of the craft shop owner's hometown have seen it!" Old Lu pointed at the map, "It's right here!"
"Then let's go and take a look at these two areas after dinner!" Xiao Lu, like Lao Lu, planned to skip the ones in the middle and go directly to the two areas.
As expected, this small town was the only way for the kings to make their pilgrimage to the throne at that time!
It’s a pity that although we found the king, we still didn’t find the big fish.
"I reckon it's not far. Should we visit every year during the Hajj?"
"Why?"
"See if there are any exceptions!"
"Oh! I see!"
Since the king's route is very fixed every year, the exceptions may be the key to finding the big fish!
In the evening, they watched year after year, and sure enough, one of those years the king did not come.
"Something's going on this year!" Old Lu said, "Why don't we split up and go to the nearby areas to check out the situation at this time?"
"Okay!"
Spreading outward from this point, searching one square at a time, we finally found traces of the king's chariot team on the hill on the right.
"It turns out the horse died, the cart broke down, and that's why it was delayed!"
"Are there going to be people hiking? Should we follow these hikers?"
"How long are we going to follow this? Let's do it tomorrow! It's too late, let's get some rest!" Xiao Lu couldn't even open his eyes.
Lao Lu wasn't feeling much better, so he decided to follow up tomorrow when he was in better condition.
Sure enough, one of the groups gave their carriages to the king and started walking.
Although walking is slower than traveling by car or horse, they did not need to take the main road. As they were all experts in hunting, these people chose to cross the mountains and take small paths.
It was because of the change of route that I met the big fish skeleton halfway!
"Found it! It's indeed an aquatic dinosaur skeleton!" Xiao Lu said excitedly.
"Oh! Fortunately, the trip was not in vain!" Old Lu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the treasure is located, the next step will be much easier. Just keep an eye on the fish fossil.
Those who discovered the fish fossils reported the discovery after meeting up with the king. Soon after the king completed his pilgrimage, he brought his people to that location.
"The king said that this was a manifestation of the gods' power! Where there are fish, there is water, so we must worship it!" Little Lu, who had already learned a lot of the Inca language, translated for Old Lu.
From that day on, the fish skeleton was kept under guard until almost a year later.
A large group of craftsmen came here and built an alchemical furnace. They then covered the skeleton with gold, added a scaly fish body, fins and tail, and placed it on a rock platform carved with water patterns.
"So this is the big fish treasure!" Xiao Lu suddenly realized.
