Writing appeared very early in the Celestial Dynasty, while iron smelting technology appeared in the mid-Spring and Autumn Period. It was not until the Warring States Period that iron ware officially replaced bronze ware and became popular in daily life.

The iron forging and chisel tools found here are quite sophisticated, and they must have been made after the mid-Spring and Autumn Period at the earliest.

Therefore Wu Liang has reason to speculate.

The time when those craftsmen mined the jade mountain here should have been after the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period. At this time, even though the writing systems of the various countries in the Celestial Dynasty had not yet been unified, a complete system had already been formed, so it is very likely that relevant written records were left here.

For Wu Liang, the relevant written records are the most important and have the best chance to clearly and intuitively restore the clues of everything that happened here.

Go further inside.

Wu Liang discovered a well slightly near the center of the village. Not only did the well have a well rim, but a well pulley was also installed on it to draw water.

This once again confirmed Wu Liang’s previous speculation.

Because water wells and well windlass were invented by Lu Ban, who lived in the Spring and Autumn Period between 507 BC and 444 BC, and water wells and well windlass were naturally only possible to appear after that.

This discovery naturally allowed Wu Liang to once again narrow down his speculation on the time period of the existence of this village.

The earliest one could only be built 600 years ago.

"Wu Taishi, have you discovered anything?"

The witch Hu could definitely be regarded as a master of the Celestial Dynasty in the Japanese country, but the knowledge she knew about the Celestial Dynasty, except for some information about Xu Fu that Wu Liang did not know, the rest was simply not enough.

So after entering the village, she followed Wu Liang and watched him touch this and that, sometimes frowning and sometimes thinking deeply. The witch Hu felt that Wu Liang must have gotten some information, but she gained very little and could only take the initiative to speak.

Ask Wu Liang.

"There are no major discoveries yet."

Wu Liang shook his head.

"If Wu Taishi discovers anything, you can tell me about it. Although I am not as knowledgeable as Wu Taishi, there are some secrets in the shrine that may be of some help."

The witch said unwillingly, obviously not completely believing Wu Liang's words.

In fact, Wu Liang did not completely believe her, especially in this place where Xu Fu had been and might appear in the secrets of the Japanese shrine. There was most likely some information gap between him and the shrine maiden Hu.

therefore.

Wu Liang must also have some reservations and create some information gaps for himself that Miko Hu does not know. Only in this way can he prevent Miko Hu from using the information gap to do anything detrimental to him.

"What Miss Hu said is absolutely true. Now you and I are like grasshoppers on a rope. We should be of one mind and have no reservations. If I find out any valuable information, I will share it with Miss Hu immediately."

Wu Liang smiled, and then told the irrelevant information, "Now I can only be sure of one thing, that is, the construction time of this quarry should be more than 600 years ago at most."

"Then it can only be built in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin Dynasty or the early Han Dynasty..."

The witch said calmly.

"Absolutely. I wonder if there are any records about this quarry in the documents of the Japanese shrine."

Wu Liang asked tentatively.

"That's not true, but in the records related to the 'ancestral continent' of Qin Emperor Xujun, there is no mention of information such as a quarry, but only a piece of Qiongtian. Judging from what we have seen so far, my

This piece of magatama should have been produced here."

The witch Hu frowned and pondered, but her beautiful eyes were always looking at the magatama that was now worn on Wu Liang's chest, and she said, "Can Wu Taishi please find out whether this magatama has become warmer now?"

"No, it's still cold."

Wu Liang touched Qiongmagatyu and answered directly.

He no longer believes in the legend that this jade will warm up when it is near the jade that Xu Fu carries with him. After all, the source of jade has been found. Although this is a rather strange jade, it looks like

There was nothing special about it, and Prince Chamu did not see any aura on the Qiong Magatama.

On the contrary, Wu Liang's "Tai Gong Seal" has undergone obvious changes since arriving at Tian Heng's residence. This is the strangest thing.

"It seems that although Mr. Xu of Qin has been here, he did not return here in the end."

The witch called out slightly disappointed.

"..."

Wu Liang glanced at her but didn't answer.

Anyway, he will not come to this conclusion easily now, unless he has explored every place here...

The topic has ended for the time being.

After Wu Liang took the witch Hu and the old macaque king to look around the village, they found nothing more and had to walk towards the rows of neatly arranged small stone houses.

But these small stone houses are not the only places left to explore in this quarry.

Wu Liang has already discovered a suspected mine entrance at the foot of the Jade Mountain. This cave extends into the mountain. It is unknown how deep it is.

Wu Liang put this cave to the end before exploring it.

He led one person and one monkey to the door of a small stone house, opened the small wooden door that fit tightly, and then...

"It stinks!"

Wu Liang immediately stepped back with great vigilance, trying to avoid inhaling the stench in the room as much as possible.
