## History

### The Lost Tomb

Wu Xie found the copper fish in a box that was held by the green-eyed fox corpse in the Seven Star Palace tomb.

The box required an eight-digit number to open it. Wu Xie had seen the number, 02200059, on a member of Ning's team while in the tomb. He decided to enter this number and the box opened revealing the copper fish. Upon seeing the copper fish, Wu Sanxing began to act suspicious. Wu Xie tried to find information about it in his grandfather's journal but found nothing.

Chen Chengcheng recognized the fish and lied to Wu Xie by telling him that she knew it from her aunt's materials. She cast suspicion on Wu Sanxing since he should know about the copper fish. Wu Xie, Chen Cheng Cheng, and High Shao decided to go over to have dinner with Wu Sanxing to get him to talk about it.

Wu Sanxing explained the copper fish was originally detailed in his father's journal and was tied to the greatest tomb robbery. He started reading about it in the journal but was caught by his father and the pages were burned. Wu Sanxing told them that the only one that would know about that mystery was Huo Xiangu. Wu Xie went to the Xin Yue Restaurant, to ask Huo Xiangu about the copper fish. She would only answer Wu Xie's questions if he fulfilled an absurd condition. Wu Xie wouldn't do as she asked and sat in the chair next to her, refusing to move until she answered his questions about the copper fish. She gave him another ultimatum, to wait in the chair until 4:30pm. As he waited, the auction prepared to start and the item being sold was another snake brow copper fish. She never answered his questions and Wu Xie left without buying or stealing the second copper fish.

## Divergence from the Novels

* In the novels, the copper fish is not connected to the greatest tomb robbery in history that Wu Laogou participated in.
* In the novels, Wu Xie did not visit the Xin Yue Restaurant to discuss the copper fish with Huo Xiangu. He went there much later in time and was there to discuss a different item.
