    After several transfers, Song Wen finally arrived at the ancient city of Shangqiu at noon the next day.

    The ancient city of Shangqiu can be described as a miracle, a miracle of civilization overlapping five thousand years of Chinese history.

    In the early 1990s, Mr. Zhang Guangzhi, a Chinese archaeologist from Harvard University in the United States, discovered from aerial photos of the United States in the 1960s that the ruins of several ancient cities were vaguely overlaid underground in the ancient city of Shangqiu and its southwest direction.  Later, he strongly suggested that China and the United States jointly explore the ancient city of Shangqiu, and hoped to find the pre-Shang ruins here on this basis.  Four years later, the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Peabody Museum of Harvard University in the United States jointly formed an archaeological team. Under the layers of yellow sand in the vast plains of eastern Henan, they found a pile of rocks stacked from top to bottom.  The ruins of Yingtianfu City in the Song Dynasty, Songzhou City in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Suiyang City in the Han Dynasty and the capital of the Song Dynasty in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

    Fortunately, there was that archaeological discovery, otherwise Song Wenzhen would not have known how to find the route recorded on the Tiansi Silk Map.

    The ancient city of Shangqiu today was built by the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty inherited it from the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty inherited it from the Song Dynasty.

    Although the outline of the city has basically remained intact as it has been passed down from dynasty to dynasty, the city has undergone tremendous changes and is no longer what it was before.  If it weren't for the discovery by archaeological experts, he really wouldn't have been able to determine the address of Yingtian Mansion where the treasure was buried.

    After some exploration, he found that the treasure hiding place shown on the Tiansi Silk Map was buried under several residential buildings.  That place was Yingtianfu Yamen in the Song Dynasty, but now it has been turned into a residential building.

    Now, Song Wen felt that it was difficult to handle. He was pressed under the house and asked how to get the treasure?  This is obviously impossible.  After thinking about it, he quickly took the bronze mirror and examined it carefully. Logically speaking, there should be an entrance to the place where the treasure was buried.

    After searching carefully, he finally found the entrance. Unfortunately, there was a thick layer of wooden boards above the entrance, and the wooden boards were covered with thick soil.  A house is built on top of the soil.

    This is how to do?

    Song Wen scratched his head, turned around and looked around, and was overjoyed to find a hotel next to the house.  You can stay at that inn tonight, and then dig a tunnel from that house to the treasure entrance.  Thinking about it, he hurriedly walked to the hotel.

    After booking a room at the hotel, he went out for a walk, had some food, and then returned to the house, planning to act later.

    It's still early.  Lying in bed and feeling bored, Song Wen turned on the TV and watched.

    "According to the latest news, archaeological experts from Turpan, Xinjiang discovered 3,100 wheat straws during archaeological work at the Shengjindian ancient tombs in Turpan. According to the archaeologists, these wheat straws were 10 centimeters thick, and 15 centimeters to 15 centimeters below the wheat straws.  Camel thorns 20 centimeters thick. It is said that these wheat straws are also the most abundant and best-preserved wheat in the world¡¯s archaeological history.

    The unearthed wheat dates from about 2,200 to 2,050 years ago and should be from the Western Han Dynasty or earlier.  Wheat that was preserved more than 2,000 years ago is still golden yellow today, as fresh as if it had just been crushed.  Some wheat stalks still have intact golden ears of wheat.

    Expert research found that the average number of wheat grains per plant in Turpan more than 2,000 years ago reached 10.  Researchers from the Science and Technology Office and Department of Science and Technology Archeology of the School of Humanities of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, ¡®The current wheat grains are 20 to 30 grains per plant.  After two thousand years of development, wheat grains have only doubled, which shows that the wheat planting and cultivation technology in Turpan at that time was already very advanced.  ¡¯

    I heard this news on the TV news.  Song Wen's heart moved slightly.

    "Wheat has been buried underground for more than two thousand years, but it is still well preserved. I wonder if it has been carbonized and can it germinate?"

    Today¡¯s wheat has been improved and mutated, and it is no longer the original wild wheat.  Wheat during the Western Han Dynasty should be closest to its wild state.  So Song Wen wanted to get some and plant them in the Ruyi Fan to see what the nearly wild wheat would look like after being nourished by the spring water in the Ruyi Fan.

    Thinking.  He picked up his cell phone and started calling.

    "Hey, Alan, where are you?"

    He was fighting Tantai Minglan. Tantai Minglan is an archaeological expert and should know these things.

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Tantai Minglan, who answered the phone, asked unhappily.

    This loser hasn¡¯t called her for so long.  Although she didn't ask for status or anything like that, the two of them had a physical relationship, so they had to care about her.  But this guy is good. He never knows how to call to say hello or care. He is timid even when he goes to his house. He doesn't even dare to look at him. He doesn't know if he is a rat. He is so timid.

    "Let me ask you something, do you know about the wheat that was discovered in Turpan during the Western Han Dynasty?"

    "Know."

    "Can those wheat sprout?"

    ? "untested."

    "Then can you get me some wheat seeds? I want to try to see if I can plant them."

    "Let me give it a try. Is this why you called?" Tantai Minglan asked dissatisfied.

    "Uh" Song Wen didn't know how to answer. Is this why he called?  But it seems a bit hurtful to say so.  So what should we say?  For a moment, Song Wen hesitated.  After thinking about it, I wanted to speak, but I heard the sound of "beep, beep, beep" coming from my mobile phone.

    "You bastard, I knew you were up to no good when you called me."

    Tantai Minglan cut off the call and said angrily: "You are such a bad person. You don't even know how to ask for a good word, but you can give orders. Why is my aunt not willing to do anything for you?" As he said this, he hated me again.  He muttered something hatefully, then turned and left.  Even so, she finally got some wheat for Song Wen and sent it through her connections.

    Seeing Tantai Minglan hang up the phone, Song Wen didn't call him again. After talking on the phone with Xiaojun for a while, he lay on the bed and squinted. It wasn't until it was quiet outside that he opened his eyes and opened the door.  Turn it off again and turn off the TV and lights.  Then I listened to the left and right, and looked carefully with the bronze mirror. I saw that everyone in the room on the left and right was asleep, and then I started to act.

    Song Wen lives on the ground floor of the hotel. After removing the tiles on the ground, there is a layer of soil underneath, which is easy to work with.

    First, he gently moved the bed he was lying on aside, then used a knife to gently pry up the tiles on the ground and put them into the Ruyi fan.  Dig a tunnel under the bed where you sleep, and then move the bed back so that you won't see anything strange, so that no one will find any clues.

    After prying up the tiles, he put the soil underneath into the Ruyi Fan to create a passage for people to walk. Then he carefully checked the direction and dug to the place where he found the treasure hidden in the morning.

    At this time, most people were already asleep, and he put the soil directly into the Ruyi Fan without making any noise, so the journey was uneventful and no one noticed him.  After a while, he came to the treasure entrance covered with wooden boards.

    The exit of the hole he dug was right next to the wooden plank covering the treasure.

    There is a long and narrow stone step connected to the place covered with wooden boards. Below the stone step is a pair of wooden doors. There is a large lock on the door, but it is already rusty.

    Song Wen did not have a key, so he could only use brute force, so he took out the wolf-tooth knife from the Ruyi Fan and struck it at the copper lock. Without any effort, the rusty copper lock was cut off.  When I opened the door, I was greeted by a rotten smell that almost made me suffocate.  He quickly stepped aside and waited until the rotten air had almost dispersed before walking in.
