It was almost four o'clock in the morning, and three people in the underground cave were cleaning the stone plate. They were careful not to damage it. Chen Mingzhi above was obviously impatient. He shouted down: "What took you so long? Have you found anything? I can't do anything up there. I'm so anxious."
Song Yijin felt that he should be kept there all the time. It's not fair to stay up there. I thought about it and shouted to him: "Do this, put the drain pipe inside, roll it up and tie it up. Don't leave any traces on the door. Close the door from the inside. Then come down. We'll talk about it later."
As soon as Chen Mingzhi heard that he could go down, he hurriedly took the drainage pipe into his hands, pulled him over and stayed.
"Wow, this is a major discovery! No wonder you didn't let me come down before. What kind of treasure are you holding in your hands? Is it an antique jade plate? It looks so valuable. Oh!" As he said that, he couldn't wait to reach out and get the mysterious object. However, Song Yijin on the side quickly stopped him with quick eyes and quick hands.
"Be careful! Don't break it. Look at the pattern on this stone plate. I think it may be a map clue for finding a gold treasure! And this treasure, it is said It's hidden under this huge stone altar. Look, there seem to be several star-like patterns on this big stone!" Song Yijin reminded him as he led him to check out the one-meter-long stone altar. Long giant catfish. Chen Mingzhi was amazed by such a huge catfish. I’m also curious about how it got here?
"How many unknown secrets are hidden here?"
"Let's take this fish out and put it in the river outside when we leave."
Then Song Yijin said: "We must seize the time to complete all the work we have to do, and we must leave here before dawn."
By this time, the stone plate had been cleaned and wiped. The four people looked at the stone plate and studied it carefully. The overall figure on the stone plate is egg-shaped, with blood vessel-like winding lines ranging from thick to thin, and each section is marked with a number. It is also like a ninety-nine-eight-turn mountain road. Some places are lightly carved, and some are shallow. Carve it deeper.
Zhao Xixi pointed to the bottom with her finger and said, "Look, this should be the starting point. It is in the shape of a tic-tac-toe, which shows that this is the entrance. In ancient times, tic-tac-toe usually represented the houses of wealthy families, because ordinary people Ordinary people cannot afford to dig wells at home. These winding blood vessels may be underground walkways, which may be wide or narrow. There is a huge lake-like circular pattern here. You can clearly see the flow of water on the pattern, and there is a fault further up. But you can see that the ripple lines of this fault are carved parallel from one end of the stone plate to the other end. In the parallel lines There are many small human-shaped patterns engraved on it. I think this is very strange and I can’t figure out what it is. Above it is a pattern of a pot. The bottom of the pot is connected with a line and there is a circular pattern on top. There is also a pattern in the pattern. water flow, and then there is another fault crossingThe cross-section also has parallel lines from one end to the other. The two parallel lines are sometimes blank, but there is a long creeping dragon-shaped pattern on the left and right, and the entire surface is convex in the middle.
"I remembered, ten thousand tons of gold, guarded by two dragons." Jiang Xiaobao said.
"Why? Where did you see it?"
"I heard it from the second master before. I asked him if he had heard of the folk legend of ten thousand tons of gold. The second master said that it was just a millennium rumor. It is said that there are two dragons guarding the place. That's all he said. "
"The two dragons in the stone plate pattern can be understood as two dragons guarding the place, which means that in folklore. Tens of thousands of tons of gold are real."
"Then the raised part in the middle depicts the gold treasure!"
"Yes, it is hidden in the deepest place. I want to reach it. It won't be that easy there, it's very complicated just by looking at this map."
"In this case, it's going to be dawn, we have to make a quick decision, Jiang Xiaobao will be responsible for keeping the stone plate, and the three of us will take care of it. Reset the big stone, and then carefully investigate the cave to see if there are any other discoveries." As he said that, Song Yijin turned the masonry in the hole in the opposite direction, and the big stone automatically slid back to its original position.
"My God, it's exactly like the one in the movie. It's amazing. How could the ancients be so smart? How could this stone weighing more than ten tons design such an ingenious mechanism?"
"Look at the stone slabs on the ground. This one has a star pattern on it, and there is the same local pattern here."
"Look here again, there is one too. And Here, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, a total of seven stone slabs, seven star patterns."
"Big Dipper?"
"Wait, I just saw that big one. There is also this pattern on the stone altar. ”
Sure enough, the four people found seven identical stars on the big stone, which were the same layout of the Big Dipper as those on the floor.
"I understand! This is the dojo of Qixing Zhenren in the Ming Dynasty. He is my ancestor and the only person in the history of the Song family who has attained Taoism through physical cultivation. I was ten years old when I was young I heard my great-grandfather say that he attained enlightenment at the age of ninety-nine, traveled around the world on a crane, entered the earth with his body and escaped from the wall as if he were entering the void, and lived to ascend to heaven at the age of two hundred and nineteen. Legend has it that on the day of his ascension, he was born on the 2nd of the lunar month. One hundred and nineteen cranes circled the dojo for an hour. These cranes formed a spectacular crane cloud, escorting the Seven Star Master to fly to the distant sky. The sound of the cranes' chirping, melodious and gentle, lasted for three days and three nights before gradually dissipating. . ”
“Wow, cousin, I didn’t expect that your Song family is actually a cultivator of immortals. It’s amazing, it’s amazing.” Zhao Xixi’s eyes were full of admiration.
"Okay, it's almost time now. Let's evacuate. Jiang Xiaobao, you must take the stone plate and don't leave any of our own things behind. We only take away the stone plate and the things in this cave." That fish, not a single brick or stone.take. "With that said, Song Yijin took off his coat and walked over, hugged the big catfish and climbed up to the entrance of the cave. The others also climbed up one by one, and Chen Mingzhi climbed up last.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and the surrounding area was bright. After the individual came out, he immediately sealed the hole with a stone slab, covered it with thick soil, and stepped down tightly with his feet. This way, even if the warehouse is demolished and crops are planted on the foundation, it will not be easily turned over again. After they were piled up with bricks and everything was restored to their original state, Chen Mingzhi went to the drainage rapeseed field to check that there was no abnormality before leaving. Song Yijin walked to the river not far away and released the catfish. They quickly returned to the parking lot and drove back to Yelaoguozhuang as dawn approached.
After a whole night of toil, the four of them returned to Jiang Xiaobao's house at dawn. They had just passed by the town to buy breakfast. They were all exhausted at this time. They hurriedly washed up and had breakfast before falling asleep and sleeping until four o'clock in the afternoon. Song Yijin was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He did not have the habit of turning off his cell phone while sleeping. The other three had already turned off their phones so as not to be disturbed.
A little later, the other three people also got up one after another. Chen Mingzhi arranged dinner at home and proposed to take a rest all day tonight and tomorrow and drink some wine in the evening.
Song Yijin and Song Yijin. Jiang Xiaobao naturally agreed. Only Zhao Xixi was worried about the safety of the stone pan. In order to prevent the secret of the stone pan map from being leaked, the four of them made a verbal gentleman's agreement before they came back to sleep yesterday. They would not take pictures, videotape, or spread the word. Jiang Xiaobao alone would seal and keep it, and the four of them would Let's start research and act together. So in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Zhao Xixi asked Jiang Xiaobao to take the stone plate with him in his backpack when he went to Chen Mingzhi's house for dinner today, and he was not allowed to drink.
Jiang Xiaobao agreed. Let Zhao Xixi rest assured.
This chapter is not over yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
After getting up the next morning, the four people met to open the stone plate at Jiang Xiaobao's house and start studying again. After a night's rest, they were all very energetic at this time.
Everyone was sitting in the yard. Jiang Xiaobao took out the stone plate and put it on the wooden table. The light in the yard was very good. At this time, he watched the stone plate. It’s very clear.
“What material is it made of? Is it jade? Is it worth the money? "Chen Mingzhi has always been interested in the material of this stone plate.
"That's all you have, the map on the stone plate leads to the golden treasure. "
"From the texture point of view, the material of the stone plate is dolomite, not jade. Although it was soaked in water, it was well preserved and very complete. "
"My eldest cousin said that the cave is the dojo of Master Qixing, and the stone altar is probably used by Master Qixing for meditation. Is this stone plate also left by Master Qixing? "
"If it was left by Qixing Zhenren, then Qixing Zhenren must be related to the gold treasure. "
"Ah, I remembered. When I was in Xi'an, I heard that there was a mysterious family in the hinterland of Lixiahe River.They have guarded a huge treasure for generations, and countless treasure hunters are looking for this secret family. Back then, Sun Dianying sent many groups of people to the northern Jiangsu area to search without success. Unexpectedly, far away and right before our eyes, it turns out that this huge treasure is ten thousand tons of gold. The Song family is the family secret and the guardian of ten thousand tons of gold. "
After listening to Jiang Xiaobao's words, Song Yijin fell silent. He thought of the stories about his ancestors that his great-grandfather told when he was a child. He also thought many times about the inheritance mission of the family mentioned by his great-grandfather. What is it? Why don't my father and grandfather know this? And my grandpa's identity as a disciple of Jin Chan? And these peerless kung fu... Wait, these all explain the Song family. The relationship with the ten thousand tons of gold treasure.
At this moment, Song Yijin had mixed feelings in his heart. He had to admit the fact that the Song family was actually the mysterious family that Jiang Xiaobao said was guarding the huge treasure! The discovery shocked him, and at the same time, he fell into deep thinking. Recalling his identity as a disciple of Jin Chan, according to the inheritance of his master, Half Armor was the Jin who he would secretly become thirty years later. Toad Master. So at this time, as the guardian of this family's golden treasure, Song Yijin was full of contradictions and struggles. On the one hand, he was proud of the family he belonged to and knew that they shouldered the responsibility. The sacred mission of guarding the huge golden treasure; on the other hand, he felt that his current behavior seemed to violate this mission. He couldn't help but begin to doubt whether he really understood the meaning of his family and his true role in this treasure hunt. Purpose.
In the inner struggle, Song Yijin realized that in order to untie this knot, he must have a deeper understanding of the family's history and mission. Perhaps only in this way can he find the answer and clarify himself.
Zhao Xixi saw that Song Yijin had been smoking silently for a long time, and seemed to know what Song Yijin was thinking.
"Cousin, I know you are worried. , I can understand you. "Zhao Xixi turned to Jiang Xiaobao and Chen Mingzhi and said: "Since the 10,000-ton gold treasure is a legend that has been passed down in northern Jiangsu for a long time, the purpose of our treasure hunt itself is a process of seeking the truth, exploring unknown areas, taking risks, and achieving self-challenge. , which is fundamentally different from robbing treasures and tombs, and is not the same thing. Besides, legends are not necessarily true. What we are doing now is to pursue these truths. "
"Listen to what you said, I understand how to do it. You are a great expert after all. When you talk about these things, haha, I am convinced, I am convinced! "
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xixi's face turned red when she smiled at Song Yijin.
After doing Song Yijin's ideological work, Zhao Xixi detailed it to the three people again according to the ideas he talked about in the cave. To be more specific, because she couldn’t see clearly the pattern on the stone plate in the underground cave at that time, she pointed at the tic-tac-toe entrance on the lower right side of the egg shape and said, this will be our next step.The difficulty of the step is that the entrance will be extremely hidden and not easy to find. Moreover, you can see that there is a special stroke on the tic-tac-toe shape here. I don’t know what it is for. Then we followed this line, and if you look closely, it shows different subtle patterns. You can infer that a lot of thought was put into this carving. The person who carved this car must not be an ordinary person. He knows the underground situation of the treasure inside out.
The treasure may ultimately be hidden in this raised position. Calculated according to the proportion of this area, the treasure stock is immeasurable and very huge. It is not clear whether this raised position is a mountain or something else. There are no mountains in the plain area. The distance from the entrance to the treasure is not impossible to estimate, but judging from the map, there are three to four special places in the middle. You can see that there are even human figures carved into the patterns here, which means there may be places where humans live. , it may be underground, or it may still be on the ground.
In addition to this, the location of the river is very special because the pattern occupies a considerable area. According to inference, there is likely to be a huge lake or other similar landform features here. From a geographical point of view, underground fluids mainly include groundwater, oil, natural gas, magma, etc. Therefore, we can boldly guess that this pattern most likely depicts an underground water system such as an underground river.
In addition, it is worth noting that the lowest part of this position has a sharp pot-bottom look, which is also an extremely interesting pattern. Does it represent another lake on the ground? Or does it imply some specific underground terrain structure? We can't tell accurately yet. This requires further field exploration to know.
Listening to Zhao Xixi’s explanation, the three of them felt very educated and meaningful. Song Yijin was full of praise for Zhao Xixi's eloquent but down-to-earth eloquence and profound knowledge, but he looked at Jiang Xiaobao and deliberately pretended to sigh again and again: "You are also an archeology major at Northwest University, you are too far behind Zhao Xixi. ”
“Cousin, I’m only a freshman, she’s a junior, she’s in her second year of high school!”
“You must be in your second year of high school because you didn’t study hard. Look at how well your senior sister speaks, we are all listening with gusto like primary school students."
Hahaha...
So the next step is to search for tens of thousands of tons of gold treasure. Plans for the entrance began again.
"Cousin, I need a high-power optical magnifying glass to carefully observe the details of the stone map." Zhao Xixi said.
Song Yijin said: "Okay, I will go home now and buy a magnifying glass in the town. Come over in the afternoon and we will continue our research and take action tomorrow."
"We will follow you too. Go to the town to play. Just leave us in the town and go about your business. "Jiang Xiaobao.
Song Yijin said: "It's too hot outside. You should stay at home. Take a good look at the stone plate and open it."Watch TV dramas and enjoy your summer vacation. By the way, go to the village store and buy some retail for Zhao Xixi. Don’t be reluctant to spend money. "
After Song Yijin finished speaking, he drove back. Today was a day for him and his grandfather to practice kung fu. They agreed to practice new peerless kung fu on the mound in the middle of the fish pond at noon.
