Chapter 347 The words on the ground
347 3Chapter 17 Words on the ground

I understand what the little brother meant. The ones that were obviously shocked by this statue should be the clones. But when he mentioned Thunder King God, I suddenly had a thought and muttered "Uh..." : "Thunder King God? Thunder King? Thunder...Brother, is he the child of Lei Ancestor and Bone Star in ancient times?"

Wu Xie and Fatty were stunned for a moment, and Fatty said, "Damn it! How do you understand this thing?"

The little brother didn't reply to the fat man's words. He just looked at me who was looking at him eagerly and seemed to be hesitant to speak. He immediately knew that I already had something in mind.

The fat man said "hey" to me: "Look at your little face, what are you thinking about?"

I said: "I...I'll think about it again." I looked at the little brother with admiring eyes. I wanted to hear his analysis.

The fat man said: "You little girl is either trying to show off or trying to deal with me, fat man. Look at your little eyes, he has mesmerized you."

I tilted my head and said, "I just haven't thought about it yet. Besides, I'm obsessed with him. Let's listen to my brother first. Brother, please continue."

The little brother continued: "The fact that this thing is inside shows that the incident did not happen suddenly, and after it happened, a stone statue was brought from outside to worship here, which means that although this incident is terrible, it will not scare them away."

I nodded and said, "Yes, they didn't know what was going to be here when they first came. They only did this when they encountered trouble halfway through digging." The age of this building should have been built by Zhang Qishan's group. Well, at that time they had just started to explore the secrets of the Zhang family, and they encountered the replicant material here, so they used this method.

Wu Xie also nodded and said: "The establishment of this statue shows that they want to continue digging, so why use this statue to suppress them here? Although the thing is terrible, it is only a psychological panic and has not threatened life safety."

The fat man took a breath: "Why does this sound so familiar? Could it be that they dug something unlucky here?"

Wu Xie nodded and said, "I often heard this kind of rumor in my hometown in the past. Some factory started construction, but as soon as the foundation was dug, the bones of dead people buried in mass burials were dug up, and a Guan Gong town was built. The situation here is probably the same.

Then let’s put ourselves in our shoes, if we were miners, under what circumstances would we do this? "

The fat man said: "This is a rock formation. What can be dug in such a bullshit place?" He thought for a while and said: "Uh, could it be the fossil of Tyrannosaurus rex? Well, you think, they were digging and digging, and suddenly they found something like this A prehistoric monster, I must have been scared half to death, I thought I had dug up the monster’s bones.”

Wu Xie patted him and said: "Comrade, read more books when you have time. The age of dinosaur fossils and the age of jade are hundreds of millions of years apart. Digging out dinosaur fossils here is like digging out a KFC family bucket. "

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "grunt" coming from my direction. The fat man said "yes" and looked like me. I rubbed my hungry stomach and said nothing.

The fat man smiled: "Look at you, you always use food as an analogy when you have nothing to do. Look at it, you're already hungry."

I smiled awkwardly, reached out and took out a lollipop, peeled off the wrapper and stuffed the candy into my mouth.

The fat man asked Wu Xie: "If it's not, then what do you think it is?"

Wu Xie thought for a while, looked at his brother and shook his head. He himself had no clue and replied: "I really can't think of it. The only thing that can reasonably exist here is a stone. Could it be a piece that they think is unlucky? Stone? If it’s unreasonable, then anything is possible.”

I sucked the candy twice and put it to the side of my mouth. I was thinking about King Thunder, stones...and clone materials, as well as the flash of thought just now. I felt that some of the key things I was thinking about seemed to be connected. I think I already have a rough idea of ​​what the clone material is.

The fat man walked up to the statue and asked, "Brother, how ferocious is this Thunder King? Is it like our Zhong Kui who catches ghosts?"

The younger brother shook his head: "Thunder King is specialized in restraining evil gods.

Yao Miao mythology is different from that of the Han people. Many of the evil things in them are gods, and they can be equal to the gods of justice. Ordinary gods cannot do anything to them. "

The fat man clicked his tongue and said, "That means Zhong Kui is just a police officer, and this Thunder King is the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection." Following him, he found two thin sticks of firewood in the bonfire on one side, inserted them into the incense burner, bowed, and said He muttered: "Secretary Lei, I'm sorry, the brothers and sisters were blind before, so they never recognized you. This thing doesn't look good, but it can be regarded as a formality. Just treat it as a white note asking us to go out. , the brothers and sisters must replenish the sesame oil. I know that you are engaged in the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and it is inconvenient to collect many things. Please tell me your wife's phone number later, and we will contact your wife..."

Wu Xiexin said that this guy was too unreliable and said: "You are not from Yao, how could someone bless you? Don't waste your firewood. Besides, only superiors give free notes to subordinates, how can subordinates give free notes to superiors?" "

The fat man said: "What the hell do you know! You pay taxes in Hangzhou, but you don't pay taxes when you go to BJ? I don't call it a white ticket, it calls it an option. Let's say hello first, it's better to regret it later."

As he said this, he turned around. Unexpectedly, the thin wood was top-heavy and caused the incense burner to fall down. The root became warped and all the ashes came out.

The fat man immediately turned around to support him. Wu Xie said with a smile, "Look, I'm an upright and upright person. I won't accept him."

The fat man said "tsk" again, broke the fine wood in half, inserted it again, and then wiped the spilled incense ash with his feet. He wiped it a few times, and as the incense ash was spread, Wu Xie'en and I both He saw some strange lines appearing on the rock surface under his feet.

I held the candy in my mouth and said, "Well, there's something on the ground." I saw Wu Xie immediately leaned over, pushed the fat man's feet away and took a closer look. Some of the ash was embedded in the tiny gaps on the surface of the stone, forming some lines. .And it was obvious that these lines were very rounded, so he said: "These are not the lines on the surface of the stone itself. They should be something someone carved on the rock surface in front of the shrine."

Wu Xie suddenly became excited, overturned the incense burner, poured all the incense ash inside on the ground and rock surface in front of him, and began to smear it with both hands. He also said: "The incense burner ash powder is very fine, so the rubbing will be smooth." It can show the shallow marks on the ground." Soon, more subtle lines began to appear on the ground and rock walls.

The fat man also noticed something strange at this moment and asked: "This is..."

Wu Xie said: "It should have been carved by the craftsman who dug this hole."

The fat man said: "Damn it, Secretary Lei showed up so quickly! This efficiency is much higher than in our human world."

Wu Xie said while applying it evenly: "Don't speak so fast yet."

The fat man squatted down to help, and the little brother also came up. Together, we spread the incense ash over a large area.Soon, a piece of crooked text appeared in front of him.

Each of these characters is the size of a chess piece, all in traditional Chinese, and extremely sloppy. Some of them are almost blurry, but there are quite a lot of them, between thirty and forty, large and small.

Wu Xie said: "It's Chinese characters or traditional characters. Judging from the handwriting, it should be written by one person. However, there are some characters here that I have never seen before. They should be pronounced in dialects."

The fat man wondered: "Could it be that the previous craftsmen discussed things on this rock like us?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "No, these words are continuous. Obviously the person who carved them wrote a whole paragraph, but the scratches are very shallow. Like us, they should have been simply scratched on the rock wall with stones. No engraving tools were used.

What kind of person would he be, and for what purpose would he write these words in front of this statue?The key should be in the text. "Then Wu Xie began to identify the words carefully.

The traditional Chinese characters were read vertically, and except for those he could not recognize, he re-engraved the ones he recognized on the side with stones.

That is a very simple passage, written as

November and seven days.

The east wall, seven feet from the left, has sixteen.

The west wall, three feet from the left, has seven.

The north wall, five feet from the left, has ten.

The south wall, six feet from the left, has four.

In detail, it must be excavated and resume work within three days.

Wu Xie hesitated and said: "Is this... a record of mining measurement? Looking at the whole language, I feel like it is a message, like a little reminder left by a foreman to others before leaving, and there is an instruction: count in detail .It’s like a superior writing to a subordinate.”

The fat man looked around and said, "Southeast, southeast, northwest? Is this a record of the distribution of jade veins?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said: "The direction of the jade veins is completely natural and has no rules at all. It is useless to just determine how many feet to the left on a section.

"There are sixteen", "There are seven", "There are ten", "There are four", it seems to be a kind of counting mark, he is counting things on the wall. "

Wu Xie immediately went to see the east wall, but he saw nothing. I immediately grabbed my brother, looked at the words and said: "Look, it says (excavation must be resumed within three days), excavation, then There is something inside the stone wall, on all sides, and those numbers are the number of things to be dug.”

Wu Xie said: "That is to say, the things represented by "Sixteen" and "Seven" hindered them from continuing to mine, but they only saw dark jade veins and complicated blood vessels that looked like rocks, and they could not use "Sixteen" at all. With such a small number, I didn't see anything else, like the natural wrinkles on the jade veins and rocks.

Could it be that there is extremely hard rock essence in the stone veins?But the rock spirit is extremely hard and weighs hundreds of tons. How could it be dug out in three days? "

We all stood up. They followed what was written and walked to the far left of the east cave wall. They measured the distance of seven feet with their fingers and looked at that part of the stone wall, but they still only saw countless dark green colors on the surface of the rock. There are no traces of anything else.
