In addition to learning the information about the fifth map, all other items obtained during that expedition have basically been processed.

He donated the Night Pearl and biological fossils to domestic museums and research institutions respectively, without asking for any other compensation, and he was not short of money now. He even wanted to donate the meteorite, but because

It was in poor condition, but domestic institutions were not very interested in it, so Li Zhao simply kept it. In addition, its actual size was only about the size of a palm, so he put it directly in the collection room.

It should be used as an object that can recall that experience.

Among the remaining items, only the notepad that he had kept on the shelf was left. He didn’t know what material it was made of. Although it was very old, it was still well preserved, and the strange words on it were clearly visible.

.At first he was about to forget it, but when he entered the space at night, he was mentioned by Xiao Mi, and the deciphering of those words was finally completed.

"This is a travel diary written by Maduro, which records in detail his experience from the beginning of obtaining these things to the end. What's interesting is that he also had a certain mission to do this." Xiao Mi first gave Li Zhao a

Simple instructions.

"In other words, these things were created by this person named Maduro. After reading this travelogue, you can understand the root of all this?" Li Zhaoruo said with enlightenment.

"Master, your statement is actually not entirely correct. In fact, strictly speaking, Maduro is not his name, but just a title, which represents the successor in the ancient Ju language." Xiao Miye.

Without going into too much description, I will start to talk about the content in the travel notes. Of course, this content is indeed a bit much.

The beginning of this travel book tells about an ancient prehistoric civilization, and the ethnic group of this civilization is also called the Ju tribe. According to legend, their ancestor was a weirdo who was better with his feet than his hands, and the whole tribe was very good at Cuju.

As a sport, every adult tribesman must make a qualified Cuju before he can be considered as independent, and this Cuju will accompany him throughout his life. It can be said that Cuju is the totem of their tribe, so Cuju competitions and skills have become

One of their inheritances.

The Tierra del Fuego that Li Zhao and the others had visited before was their former holy land. Different from the small islands in the extreme south of South America that are now traditionally considered, the continent of the earth a long time ago was a single piece, and the fire was

Earth Island was still a relatively core area on the mainland at that time. The Ju civilization at that time was also a very large ethnic group at its peak, but because it was in the same period as the Atlantis civilization and its own force was not strong enough, it was

They were gradually eroded, and finally were completely annexed and disappeared. In reality, no relevant historical records were preserved at all. But not long after, the Atlantean civilization that eliminated them also encountered the same misfortune, and along with that

The great flood that destroyed the world disappeared in the long river of history. Then due to the great impact, the continent began to split and drift, and thus evolved into the seven continents today.

To be precise, the part that Li Zhao and the others entered before was not even the outer perimeter of the holy land. It could only be regarded as a new area that Maduro later dug out. The real holy land had already sunk deeper into the ground, and was different from the disappeared area.

Like the core civilization of Atlantis, it is impossible to enter with only their existing means and physical bodies.

Although the Ju people perished, their inheritance has still survived, especially the records of Cuju culture and skills that are the most valuable. Some of the skills and production methods of Cuju have also been spread through other methods.

come, but the core part still needs to be inherited through inheritance.

After countless epochs, it was not until the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty that a man named Li appeared and this process really started. Of course, Li could not be a member of the Ju tribe in the true sense, but he and his tribesmen and ancestors had a close relationship.

The Ju family has a weak genetic lineage, and as generations pass by, the genes in this lineage become even rarer, and they are also the last remaining ethnic group passed down from their ancestors.

When Li was still an ignorant child, he and his family became one of the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty who migrated to the Americas. The purpose of their trip was not to migrate, but to find their roots. But the destination was obviously too far away.

And the basis of their search was only an ancient sensing tool and vague legends in their hands, so many people were shaken. After arriving on the American continent, many people in the team chose to stay, and these people also interacted with people from

People from other places later became Indians.

But Li Ze and his family did not stay, but continued to move towards the south, and at the same time they became the last hope of the ethnic group.

They crossed the narrow strip of Central America and then entered South America. Due to the various harsh environments along the way, many tribesmen died in the process. But this was not the worst. During the process of crossing the Amazon Basin,

, more people stayed forever.

By the time they arrived at Tierra del Fuego, there were very few tribesmen left, and Li had grown into a mature man at this time. The final old city of the Ju tribe was still located deep underground in Tierra del Fuego, and it was impossible to get down by conventional means.

, but only by detecting their bloodline can they activate the sealing formation and enter it.

One person's genetic energy alone is obviously not enough to open the seal of the formation, so everyone gathered the bloodline genes in their bodies together to successfully activate the seal and open the teleportation formation. But only one can go down and accept the inheritance.

people, so in the end everyone chose to give up and accept the inheritance, and became the first generation of Maduro. The harvest was still great. In addition to the inheritance of Cuju, he also unexpectedly had the ability to predict part of the future.

event capabilities.

But the time to receive the inheritance inside was so long that ten years had passed outside when he came out. Although his original relatives had not left, they could not survive in such an environment. When he finally found out

They have all become cold corpses.

After losing his family, he decided to return to the Middle-earth, and this process took nearly twenty years. When he returned to the land he was once familiar with, the former Qin Dynasty was no longer there, but it became the new Han Dynasty.

But in the process, he also discovered that he unexpectedly lost the ability to give birth to the next generation. But for the sake of future inheritance, he could no longer stick to the form of any race, and began to recruit a group of disciples, and among them

Choose your successor among them.

But there can only be one inheritor for the next generation, so he is more cautious in choosing. However, he has his own opinions on this point and left a complete set of screening criteria, which has also become the successor selection for all generations in the future.

benchmark.

When Li felt that his end was approaching, he took out seven Cuju from his last possessions, and based on comparing the map before the continental drift with the later map, he found the seven ruins, and hoped that future generations could use this method.

Find these ruins and put seven Cuju into them respectively as the treasures of the seven treasure caches. Although the treasure caches are sealed and the construction style is somewhat similar to ancient tombs, they are not cemeteries at all.

As Maduros are passed down from generation to generation, these treasure caches require continuous maintenance by successive inheritors. In times of peace, excess treasures can be put into them, and in difficult times, they can be taken away for emergency use.

The standard of treasure storage continued in this way, but the total number was still improved by later generations on the basis of predecessors. It was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that the specifications were established and unified into 6 large boxes to place some of the more valuable ones.

For some items, the so-called value is not necessarily in terms of money, but more importantly, in terms of function and meaning.

However, it is forbidden to bury people in the treasure land, and there will be no items such as travel notes in the box. The situation that Li Zhao and the others encountered last time is obviously a special situation. Because usually the successor is the successor.

Or they would simply bury them somewhere else after they died. The reason why this travel diary appeared in the treasure trove at that time was a complete accident.

It was only when it was passed on to everyone who wrote this travelogue that a change occurred. Before that, the previous Maduros were named Ouyang Jie. Although they often traveled around the world, most of their activities were still in the Middle-earth and surrounding areas.

Mainly located in neighboring countries, so there were only limited places to hide treasures if they were powerful enough. It wasn't until Ouyang Jie's appearance that everything really changed.

Another main reason was that with the massive invasion of the Mongols in the late Song Dynasty, China could no longer maintain its balance. Ouyang Jie also took this opportunity to leave and find the remaining treasure places in one fell swoop.

And according to the order of Cuju, he made adjustments, setting the first stop as the site of the later church in Brazil, the second stop as a place in the Middle East, and as for the secret room in the United Arab Emirates,

It was the Hengshan family who set up the treasure trove in the style of a treasure trove. The third place was the Soldier Cave in Yushu, Country C. In fact, although this was the first place he visited, he later arrived in the Middle East.

Then there is Brazil, so obviously the order of this arrangement has nothing to do with the order of places visited.

And his last stop was Tierra del Fuego. At that time, he also thought that this place would become his last desperate place, so he included the travel notes in it. As for the other three places, he was unable to complete them.

It can only be left to future inheritors to complete.

But it seemed that he was not destined to die, and finally managed to escape from this place with the help of a disciple from a foreign country. The travel journal ended abruptly here. Obviously Ouyang Jie had no intention of retrieving this travel journal.

It provided clues for Li Zhao and others to understand the entire process.
