Chapter 233 More money is needed!
Faced with Brother Qin An's straightforward question.
Xu Guozhou was stunned at first.
Then a light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly took out a thick stack of information from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to Qin An with great excitement.
"Brother Qin An... this is all the information our archaeological team currently has regarding the Buddha Sound Kingdom! Although there are still many unclear points that have not been fully excavated... this is also the painstaking work of our archaeological team members."
What Xu Guozhou said is true!
As early as when Qin An was still excavating the ancient city of Yinxu, Xu Guozhou saw hope in Qin An through live broadcast!
He felt that this man must be his destiny...the man who could lead him to find the Land of Buddha Sound!
The reason why Xu Guozhou did not visit Qin An at his residence for so many days was because he was gathering the efforts of all the Chinese archaeological scholars to prepare relevant historical materials about the Kingdom of Foyinku.
But Qin An was keen to find the key words from Xu Guozhou's words.
"Archaeological team?"
Qin An frowned slightly.
"Um..." Xu Guozhou seemed a little embarrassed to speak: "Well... Brother Qin An! To be honest, we have already prepared the archaeological team to go to Foyinku Country."
Qin An was speechless.
It seems... this old guy has him figured out!
Qin An even felt that even if he offered a 100 million yuan "appearance fee" for archaeological work, Xu Guozhou would agree without hesitation.
After receiving the information about the Buddha Sound Kingdom.
Qin An began to read it carefully.
Jiang Liuli, Gu Wuyan and others on the side also gathered around with some curiosity.
I saw that on these pieces of white paper were drawn a comparative map of the ancient and modern Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea. The locations of the reefs and islands in the two paintings were also very different!
There are some strange words and symbols above the map!
This should be the text of Buddha Sound Kingdom!
Mr. Xu was worried that some people wouldn't understand...so he was so considerate as to translate it in plain text at the bottom of the map.
Two hundred nautical miles south of the Beibu Gulf in the South China Sea, there may be an ancient tomb from the late Warring States Period - the Foyin Kuguo Tomb.
According to historical records, Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to Zuzhou in the East China Sea to look for the immortal grass. Three years later, Xu Fu returned by boat but did not bring back the immortal grass.
The First Emperor was furious!
Xu Fu said in panic, "There are three immortal mountains in Zuzhou in the East China Sea! They are Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. I am willing to find these immortal mountains and obtain the elixir for Your Majesty to help Him achieve immortality!"
After Xu Fu finished speaking, he bowed his head.
Ying Zheng was overjoyed.
He ordered Xu Fu to go out to sea with 3,000 boys and girls and enough food and medicine to sustain them for three years.
Three months after Xu Fu set out to sea, he encountered a tsunami and three months of heavy rain. When the rain stopped and the sky cleared, a fairy island surrounded by fog suddenly appeared in front of the ship - Foyin Kuguo Island.
This island is about 10 square kilometers!
But the island was deserted... After Xu Fu arrived on the island, he discovered that there had once been a powerful island dynasty!
But I don’t know why it declined!
Xu Fu sent his soldiers to patrol the center of the island... and unexpectedly discovered a huge ancient tomb under the island - the tomb of the ancient country of Foyin!
The ancient tomb built by the tomb owner is extremely special... It seems that he wants to be resurrected many years later and lead the people of the dynasty to rebuild the Buddhist Kingdom!
Xu Fu also sent his soldiers into the tomb of the ancient country of Foyin.
He wanted to find the elixir that the tomb owner used to revive after his death! And then present it to Ying Zheng...but thousands of soldiers were killed or injured! Xu Fu was also unable to enter the Foyin Kuguo Tomb.
In desperation...
Xu Fu had no choice but to leave the Kingdom of Foyin and go to Penglai Island.
He also wrote down what he saw and heard on Penglai Island... and compiled it into a book.
This is all the relevant information about Buddha Sound’s Land of Bitterness.
Qin An gently closed the document.
"Mr. Xu...can we locate the island where the Buddhist Sound Kingdom is located using the Beidou satellite?"
Hear the words.
Xu Guozhou shook his head slowly. "The satellite hasn't found this island... The only records of it are Xu Fu's notes, a map of the East China Sea from the late Warring States period, and my father's last words."
"Your father's last words?" Jiang Liuli asked.
"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China...my father was a sailor. He said he had seen an ancient tomb on this island in the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea."
Seeing that Xu Guozhou seemed to be willing to tell everything he knew.
Qin An was also a little unsure.
After all... these are just Xu Fu's notes of unknown authenticity and the last words of Xu's father. The two just happen to have something in common.
And as everyone knows.
The ancients loved to exaggerate the facts when narrating stories!
What's more, the so-called Xu Fu's notes may have been fabricated by later generations under the name of Xu Fu... There is no authenticity at all!
As for the map of the East China Sea at the end of the Warring States Period.
Qin An felt that it was most likely due to plate movement...which caused the island, which might be the country of Foyinku, to drift near the territory of Xiaorizi.
Seeing Qin An looking thoughtful.
The people around him quickly shut their mouths and stopped talking, fearing that they would interrupt Brother Qin An's thoughts by speaking.
[Ding! The host is detected to be skeptical of the existence of the Foyin Kuguo Tomb. This system will use its authority to conduct an inquiry.]
A crisp electronic sound rang in my mind.
After a while.
[Foyin Kuguo Tomb... Ding Zhen: Authentic! ]
Is it true?
Qin An was a little shocked...but he remained calm on the surface.
"Mr. Xu... the subsequent development of the Yinxu Ancient City Tomb hasn't even begun! Is it appropriate for us to rush off to search for the Foyin Kuguo Tomb, which might not even exist?"
There are two key points in Qin An's words.
First, the distribution of subsequent benefits from the Yinxu Ancient City Tomb has not yet been implemented.
Secondly, the existence of the Foyinkuguo Tomb has not yet been confirmed! What if this ancient tomb does not exist? Wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
It is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Xu is a shrewd man with seventy years of experience in human affairs!
He immediately understood the implication of Qin An's words:
Need more money!
Think of this.
Xu Guozhou grinned!
What a coincidence! The thing he has the most is money!
"Yes! Mr. Xu... Brother Qin An is right! We haven't even finished the follow-up development of Yinxu Ancient City yet! Now we rush to the next tomb, won't it be..."
Jiang Wen Gu hadn't finished speaking yet.
Xu Guozhou glared at him and said, "Isn't it okay for me to leave this matter to you? Brother Qin An, take me to find the Tomb of Foyin Kuguo! Don't forget to give Brother Qin An 30% of the profits from the subsequent development of the Yinxu Ancient City Tomb!"
"Thirty percent?!" Jiang Wen Gu was shocked.
"What? You think it's not enough?" Xu Guozhou was intimidating without even getting angry.
"No, no...that's enough!" Jiang Wen Gu waved his hands like a child being scolded by his class teacher.
