An ancient unknown secret
In a desolate area of the Gobi Desert somewhere in California, USA, a young man wearing a floral shirt and jeans is staring at a concrete wall outside the window of a modified RV.
Come on, come on. The young man kept looking at his watch.
Come on. Come on. Hands kept waving, looking very nervous. Oh God, come on.
Staring at the watch on his hand without stopping.
10 o'clock sharp.
A dull, muffled sound. The car shook violently inside. The young man fell down in the car without realizing it. Then came a rumbling sound, and the ground began to tremble. The concrete wall started to collapse in a circular shape. Next, a large-scale subsidence began.
Damn it. The power is too great. The lower companion feels very bad. Start walking to the driver's cab of the car.
Start the car and quickly leave this place.
"Here's the wild cat center, here are the wild cats. Calling Tom Cat calling Tom Cat."
"Damn it, this is Tomcat, I'm in trouble."
"What a big trouble."
Hurry up and support me, hurry up. Hurry up.
Damn it.
The young man's car began to sink down without stopping.
The young man kept controlling the car, but he was really helpless.
Just as the car was about to sink, the young man climbed onto the roof of the car and grabbed a rope ladder that was lowered from a light helicopter flying overhead.
"Oh God."
"Damn it, almost took my life."
"But we succeeded. You know that, Qin? We succeeded. If this bomb were to be provided to the military, they would definitely be shocked."
"I knew this of course. Didn't you see? It almost took my life. I almost died there. However, the power is indeed great."
"That is"
"We've developed a new explosive method. It's called magnetic pulse, converting electricity into physical energy." And it's extremely cheap. Even if we were to give it to those Afghan moles, those idiots wouldn't be able to use it."
"Judging from its power, it's indeed shocking. The entire hill has become a small basin."
In a luxurious villa, a robust Chinese man pushed an elderly person sitting in a wheelchair.
The old man looked very peaceful. Behind a pair of thick glasses were deep eyes. The erosion of time was ruthlessly displayed on his face.
"Has Shangwen returned?"
"Not yet."
"Thanks"
The old man replied helplessly, "Hurry up and let him come back. Just say I have something important to talk about."
Yes.
Strong man, leave the old man, quickly leave.
*sigh*
The old man let out an unconscious sigh.
Young people are having a party in a luxurious villa.
Most of the boys and girls were very happy.
"Hey Charlie, someone's looking for you."
Who
Young people are drinking five-colored liquor.
"Oh no, heavens! My great aunt is coming again. I wonder what kind of trouble she's gotten herself into this time."
The young man took a glance at the sturdy fellow by the door and involuntarily muttered a complaint.
"What's going on." The young man said impatiently.
"The old master invites you."
"Oh, I see."
"Please". A Zhuang and Han Chinese gesture of invitation.
Damn it, I just came back from the Ghost Gate. A young man cursed in a low voice.
A black Mercedes sedan sped away from the villa.
"Uncle. What's up again? I just had a bit of free time. Is there something lacking in equipment?"
The strong man left voluntarily.
The old man looked at the young man.
"No, I have something important to tell you. You must listen."
"Alright." A young man is pouring a glass of wine backwards.
"Alright, alright." I listened carefully.
The old man's deep eyes stared at the young man.
"Shang Wen, listen up. I don't have much time left. This isn't a joke."
"This is for you."
"What is this."
As he spoke, Shang Wen took over an old man who handed over a black ring-like thing similar to jade.
"This is our family's secret. An ancient secret."
The young man looked at the black ring and nodded.
"Our family has a history of over two thousand years. This thing was passed down from our ancestors."
According to my father, it can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty.
"Do you still remember in history, Qin Shi Huang saw a falling meteorite?"
"Remember this, you've been familiar with history since childhood. Good inheritance of family business."
"This black thing is that meteorite."
"What's the big deal." It's just a meteorite, my laboratory...
The old man interrupted the young man's words.
"This meteorite can predict future events."
"Ha ha, Uncle, you're kidding, right?"
The old man shook his head.
It was already known when it was passed down from our ancestors. So, our family has been able to inherit a history of more than 2,000 years.
The First Emperor ordered the massacre of all the people within a hundred miles around after seeing this meteorite, just because it was extremely unusual.
Our ancestors were famous craftsmen from the Qin State. At that time, they were also in the team, and Emperor Qin Shi Huang discovered unfavorable words on it, so he ordered our ancestors to melt down the meteorite. However, no matter what, this stone could not be melted down.
Later, unintentionally, the ancestors dropped the meteorite into the water, and an unexpected thing happened. The meteorite began to break apart and turned into a black stone in the water. That's what you're holding in your hand."
"I thought that was the end of it, but strangely, the stone began to show some scenes. That is, the great chaos in the world that we later found out about. Our ancestors felt extremely terrified and secretly hid the stone, escaping to the south."
Later, our ancestors discovered the strange place of this stone. These strange places can predict the future in certain situations. So, our ancestors relied on this stone to survive for over 2,000 years, and every time there was a major disaster, they would use this stone to predict good or bad fortune. Later, as our family grew larger, somehow it got passed down, which brought great calamity. The entire family almost suffered the disaster of extinction. Fortunately, one of our ancestors, who is now our ancestor, used some means to polish the stone into its current state and avoided the disaster by relying on this stone. Therefore, our ancestors passed down a message saying that we should be low-key and only pass on this secret to those with ability.
This way, the number of people in our clan who knew this secret became fewer and fewer. Only a few people in the entire clan knew about it. Later on, as our branches grew more numerous, even fewer people knew about it. Still later, during the Republic era, we relied on this stone to migrate to America. And again relying on this stone, we were able to become wealthy and achieve the scale we have today. However, you also know that I don't have any descendants, so this stone can only be passed down to your father. But your father's abilities... you're also aware of them - he spends his days drinking wine.
In China, our clansmen who knew this secret have all passed away, only our branch still knows it. I just hope you can inherit this secret.
"Thank you."
At this time, Shang Wen finally realized that there was such a big secret in the family. Looking at the stone in his hand, he felt more and more that the stone was very strange, arousing his curiosity.
"Do you know why I study history?"
"I don't know."
Shang Wen shook his head.
"This stone originally had two pieces, male and female. Once our ancestors, seemingly during the Song Dynasty, something happened and one of them suddenly disappeared out of thin air. According to the family records, on that day, the sky spun and the earth turned. However, after the incident, nothing changed. Later it was said that this stone had a kind of mysterious power, but no one knew how to unlock its source."
I have exhausted a lifetime of wisdom and still haven't resolved this issue. I've grown old. I won't be able to live for much longer. My time is almost up. What a pity!
Shang Wen looked at his uncle's dejected appearance and didn't know what to say either.
Shang Wen also knew about his uncle's sense of mission.
"This is the key to our family's secret. Go open that secret cabinet. Inside lies the entire history of our family. From now on, it's up to you."
Yes.
"Uncle is calling me, I'll head back first. Take care of yourself. I'll see you again later."
