Chapter 127: All About Xia-Zhou Dynasty (3)
Curator Xia nodded and decided not to stay here any longer. He was ready to go outside.
At that moment, the flashlight in his hand suddenly flashed a few times. The light turned on and off for a while before it went out completely. It couldn’t be turned on again.
It was not their illusion this time. Curator Xia and the security guards all picked up their pace and left the East Palace. The rumors that the museum of Xia Zhou Palace was haunted by ghosts recently were all confirmed.
When Curator Xia closed the door, several shadows floated out, including the minister who had knelt down to Ye Sui.
“Will they be scared by this?” A ghost holding a guqin looked worriedly in the direction of President Xia.
(T/N: Guqin is a seven-stringed instrument in some ways similar to that of a zither.)
The minister ghost touched his beard and said, “We can only scare them. Only if this method works and we meet the person we are waiting for.”
Rumors of the haunting of the Xia Zhou Palace spread among the staff like wildfire.
Curator Xia had been struggling because of this for several days. He couldn’t understand why after it had been restored to normal, it suddenly became like this.
Xia Zhou Palace Museum, 8 p.m.
Curator Xia made another round of inspection. As usual, there was a slight noise in the corner of the palace.
It was not the wind and not a mistake either. It was a real sound of movement.
Curator Xia had been in the management of the museum for so many years. He occasionally encountered such a strange phenomenon, but it would soon disappear.
It seemed that it was just the residual resentment and regret of the ancients who left after a walk here. So he learned to live in peace with these events.
When Curator Xia returned to the office, the phone on the desk started ringing. The noise was especially jarring to the ears in the quiet night.
Curator Xia immediately answered the phone, “Hello, this is the Xia Zhou Palace Museum.” freewebno vel.com
Director Sun’s voice came from the other end of the line, “President Xia, I want to discuss the shooting of the show with you. I wonder if you can think about it again.”
Director Sun was very interested in Xia Zhou palace. He and President Xia had the same idea of wanting to let more people know about the dynasty.
Director Sun felt it was a pity that the variety show was shot only once, so he called President Xia many times to get his approval.
Curator Xia just wanted to refuse, but an idea suddenly flashed into his mind. He answered unexpectedly, “Then, you can shoot again, but this is the last time.”
Director Sun was startled, then overjoyed. He thanked him and hung up the phone.
Later, Curator Xia found something even more strange. Since the phone call of Director Sun and his approval of the shooting request, all the supernatural phenomena disappeared overnight.
No matter how late it was, there was no strange noise anymore when passing outside the palace.
After Ye Sui returned home, the exhibition and the sword still hovered in her mind. She had been pondering about a question.
Why did the sword not decay after hundreds of years?
Ye Sui remembered it very clearly. Next to that sword was written the origin of the sword and the year it was unearthed.
The sword was a burial object of a general surnamed Gu.
Twenty years ago, some peasants discovered a cave and some scattered cultural relics, which should have been the work of tomb robbers. After they reported it to the government, the state found the tomb of a general of the Xia Zhou dynasty.
General Gu had made outstanding achievements in war, but there were only a few records in history.
Since she was free anyway, she took the chance to sit down and investigate.
She searched on the Internet and found out that after the sword was unearthed, many scientists had conducted research over the years because of its undecaying characteristic.
However, the sword was neither made of an unknown metal nor was it placed in a special environment. It was in an ordinary tomb.
The general sword remained as it was for a hundred years. It was still an unsolved mystery. Since no one found out the truth and it had not been explained in the official history, what about the unofficial history?f reewe bnovel
