Chapter 485 The Origin of the Blood Coffin: The Eastern Yi Tribe?
Wu Sansheng's lips twitched twice after hearing this, then he chuckled and replied, "Hehehe... just pretend I didn't say anything before."
Just as Wu Sansheng was chatting and laughing with the Queen of Jingjue, Chen Xiao flew back from afar, carrying blood coffins engraved with countless bird totems.
The people in the camp, who were originally busy with various tasks, immediately dropped what they were doing and swarmed around Chen Xiao when they saw him lowering a blood coffin.
After using his senses to locate his little queen, Chen Xiao casually tossed the blood coffin he was dragging on the ground and strode towards the camp, calling out as he went, "Jia Hai and Wu Laosan, you two are so knowledgeable, come out and help me take a look. What kind of organization did this coffin come from?"
Hearing Chen Xiao's greeting, the three women of the Jingjue Queen and Wu Sansheng exchanged glances inside the tent, then walked out of the tent with puzzled expressions.
When Queen Jingjue and Wu Sansheng saw the appearance of the coffin that Chen Xiao brought back, their pupils suddenly contracted. Wu Sansheng even looked as if he had seen a ghost. He rubbed his eyes a few times and then quickly moved closer to the blood coffin, pressing his face almost against it to examine it closely.
While observing, Wu Sansheng exclaimed in astonishment, "A bird spreading its wings, three legs being the most outstanding! And it's a blood coffin made of top-quality red jade, absolutely up to the standards of the Yi tribe's royal family!"
As he spoke, Wu Sansheng suddenly turned around, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Chen Xiao and asked urgently, "Master Chen, are you going to make a move on this Yi King's Blood Coffin?"
"If you're ready to bid, we don't need to follow the usual rules and bid at the New Moon Hotel today. Thirty million... no... fifty million! I, Wu Laosan, will take the fifty million!"
Seeing Wu Sansheng's enthusiastic expression and the acquisition price he blurted out, Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't immediately respond.
As Chen Xiao had expected, after seeing that Chen Xiao did not respond for a long time, Wu Sansheng, whose mind was already clouded by the fervor because the treasure was right in front of him, immediately raised his hand again and made an eight gesture.
"Eighty million! I'll offer eighty million, isn't that enough, Mr. Chen? That's almost a year's profit from my entire Wu family's gambling operation!"
Upon hearing Wu Sansheng's latest price announcement, not only were the members of the Nine Gates Security Team who were watching around shocked, but even Wu Xie, Xie Xiaohua, and Huo Xiuxiu were all stunned and their mouths were agape!
"Has Uncle gone mad? He took out the entire year's profit from the betting market just to buy a coffin like this?"
What's the point of buying this thing? Are we going to put it on my late grandfather?
Wu Xie, a dutiful son and grandson, spoke up in a low voice. Standing beside him, Huo Xiuxiu, now the young mistress of the Wu family, frowned, also wondering about the purpose of her husband's third uncle, who was known as a cunning old fox.
But Xie Xiaohua, standing on the other side of Wu Xie, had a glint in her eyes, and then she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "If Uncle Wu values it so much, this blood coffin must be a rare treasure!"
"It just so happens that our Xie family is currently lacking a prized possession; I'll offer ninety million!"
Seeing Xie Xiaohua suddenly interrupt and raise the price, Wu Sansheng glared at Xie Xiaohua with a complicated expression, signaling her not to interfere, and then gritted his teeth and said again: "I'll bid one hundred million!"
However, Xie Xiaohua, who was unaware of Wu Sansheng's true identity, showed no respect for Wu Sansheng's threatening gaze and directly bowed and apologized to him.
Immediately, with his domineering CEO aura fully unleashed, he raised two fingers and said, "I'll offer two hundred million!"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."
Seeing Xie Xiaohua, this rebellious son, completely disregard money and immediately launch into a ridiculously foolish act of doubling the amount, Wu Sansheng was so angry that he coughed violently.
"Third Master!"
Upon seeing this, the loyal Pan Zi quickly stepped forward and helped up Wu Sansheng, who had collapsed from anger.
After being helped by Pan Zi and catching his breath for several breaths, Wu Sansheng finally recovered. He then gave Xie Xiaohua a thumbs up with a look of disappointment on his face!
Xie Xiaohua chuckled, thinking she had snatched a great bargain, and then apologized to Wu Sansheng with a forced smile, saying, "Uncle, Yu Chen has offended you today. I will definitely come to apologize when I get back."
"Phew~" Upon hearing this, Wu Sansheng lowered his hand, tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and replied in a calm voice: "There's nothing to offend or not offend. You're rich, kid. I, your third uncle, am ashamed of my own wealth."
"The discerning eye to spend a full 200 million on an item whose highest value is only 150 million still needs more practice."
Without paying attention to Xie Xiaohua's sudden shock, Wu Sansheng walked slowly to Chen Xiao's side and whispered to him, "Master Chen, the blood coffin you brought back is a blood coffin of the ancient Dongyi royal family's burial standards. Judging from the marks on it, it should be a product of the Western Zhou Dynasty."
After listening to Wu Sansheng's account, Chen Xiao, who had remained silent, immediately frowned. Although Chen Xiao did not know much about the dynasties and their important figures, he was very familiar with the name of the Dongyi tribe.
What kind of tribe is the Dongyi? This is a tribe that produced mythical figures like Taihao, Shaohao, Chiyou, and Shun as its leaders! They have a history of at least 8000 years, or even longer!
The Dongyi people mainly lived in the surrounding areas of the central Shandong mountainous region. So why would this blood coffin, belonging to a royal member of the Dongyi people during the Western Zhou Dynasty, appear in the territory of the Western Queen Mother Kingdom?
The only possibility is that the coffin was transported from the Central Plains by order of King Mu of Zhou, but it should be noted that King Mu of Zhou had not yet unified the Dongyi region during his reign.
How did King Mu of Zhou manage to obtain the coffin of a member of the royal family? And why did he go to such lengths to transport the coffin to the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Xiao looked at Wu Sansheng and asked, "How much of the ancient script of the Dongyi people do you understand, Third Brother?"
Wu Sansheng pondered for a moment upon hearing this and gave a conservative reply: "The history of the Dongyi tribe is too ancient, and it is almost entirely written in a unique oracle bone script. I have not studied it much."
Conservative estimates suggest that about 10% of the texts written before the Shang and Zhou dynasties can be understood, while about 30% of those written after the Shang and Zhou dynasties are readily readable.
The Queen of Jingjue, who had remained silent until now, said calmly, "I can understand about 50%. If we cooperate with Wu Laosan, even if we don't understand the details, we'll still be able to grasp the general meaning and accuracy."
