As soon as he unfolded the scroll, Wu Liang first saw a painting on the front of the slip - a mouse?

This is a total of four bamboo pieces occupied by the "rat". Although there are some gaps between the bamboo pieces, they are still very coherent together. The image of the "rat" is very vivid.

The slender tail is in a slightly curved "S" shape, and the head is tilted to the right, lying on a dark rock. There are also some lines painted on both sides of the rock that should represent water flow...

"What is this?"

The more Wu Liang looked at it, the more it looked like a mouse. It had a similar body, a similar tail, and a similar head, but there were no long beards on both sides of the mouth that a mouse should have.

With such doubts, Wu Liang continued to spread out the slips and looked back.

Finally some text appeared later:

"A diamond is a strange thing. It is shaped like a rat and has greenish-black excrement. It was born on a rock in the water hundreds of feet in the Western Region. The natives had no water and found it. They carved it with it. It is indestructible. It can be broken only by hitting it with an antelope horn...

"

WTF?

Is this the "Diamond Diamond" from the Spring and Autumn Period?!

Wu Liang immediately read this paragraph carefully from beginning to end.

There were no punctuation marks in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although there were some small gaps between sentence fragments, they were sometimes not very obvious. In addition, the ancient Qi characters still needed to be carefully identified, which made Wu Liang doubt whether he had broken the sentence wrong.

Or the meaning of some ancient Qi characters may be wrong.

But after reading it again, Wu Liang was still sure that he had read it correctly.

"Diamond" is indeed a strange object in the records, and it is a living creature that can poop.

The place where this strange creature lives is very strange. The water bottom is hundreds of feet deep in the Western Region. Without the assistance of diving tools, humans cannot dive to such depths at all, unless they tie up stones and dive to commit suicide...

And what surprised Wu Liang the most was.

This kind of creature actually has indestructible properties?

The word "engraving" means carving or chiseling in ancient China.

This passage does not explain what is being carved using "diamond".

Jade? Metal? Wood?

Or other messy things, but it is undeniable that among the handicrafts from the Spring and Autumn Period discovered by later generations, some of the handicrafts from earlier periods, whether they are jade, metal, or wood, were carved or chiseled.

There is no doubt about the craftsmanship of the carving.

The four words "indestructible" gave Wu Liang a lot of room for thinking.

This thing sounds like it is already comparable to diamond (diamond), which is recognized as the hardest gemstone in later generations. Diamond may even be harder.

After all, even the diamonds of later generations are not "indestructible".

Another detail.

It also immediately distinguished "diamond" from "diamond", making it impossible for Wu Liang to attribute it to the ancients' insufficient scientific level, which led to deviations in understanding, so it was possible to anthropomorphize the description of "diamond".

It’s the phrase “If you hit it with an antelope horn, it will break into pieces.”

As we all know, "diamond" is the product of birth under special conditions that results in a special arrangement of carbon molecules, which means that the essence of "diamond" is carbon.

Therefore, what "diamond" fears most is fire, as high temperatures can make it disappear into ashes.

The weakness of "Diamond" is very miraculous. It breaks into pieces as long as it is touched with an antelope horn. Even Wu Liang cannot explain the principle and phenomenon of this, but this obviously cannot be the weakness of "Diamond".

And there is a very significant difference...

While Wu Liang was still digesting and thinking about what he had just seen about "Diamond Diamond".

"Master!"

Yu Ji suddenly shouted excitedly, his face glowing with excitement and he said, "Sir! We may not have to die here, the owner of the tomb actually left a way for us to survive!"

"What did you say?"

Wu Liang came to his senses immediately, stood up and asked with his eyes widened.

"This scroll says that since we were able to reach the main tomb alive, it means that we have cracked the eight formation diagrams and the heavenly locks outside. This is enough to prove our ability, that is, to set up more traps.

There will definitely be no way to stop us."

Yu Ji continued, "If we can still understand the mystery of the Jiuquzhu, we will definitely be able to find his bones. At this point, he knows that he is doomed, so he can only admit defeat..."

"Since you admit defeat, why did you set up these eight copper walls to trap us here? Is this a gesture of admitting defeat?"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Wanli couldn't help but ask.

"I haven't finished speaking yet, so don't interrupt!"
