Chapter 68: Ancient Formation
Wu Zhongyuan's abnormal performance made Wu Zhongyuan very puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, this change really started to happen last night, could it be that Zhao Ying guessed correctly?
After further observation, no, no, Apo is a veteran of the love field, and the little ewe can't stand it at all, even if he is very close to it, he is not very willing to let it get close.
Just wondering, Zhao Ying came and brought a few eggs to Wu Zhongyuan, "How is it?"
Wu Zhongyuan took the egg casually, "It's a little strange, you can see for yourself." ”
Zhao Ying leaned on the fence to observe, she also found that the little ewe's attitude towards Apo had changed, but she couldn't understand the reason for this change, she said last night that Apo's kidney loss was just a joke, and she didn't really think so.
"Did it bring anything back last night?" asked Zhao Ying.
"Probably not. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, Apo is a sheep, unlike people who wear clothes and have pockets, it can only use its mouth to carry things, but when he found Apo last night, Apo didn't have anything in his mouth.
"There should be," Zhao Ying said, "Look closely, that ewe has been licking Apo's beard, it should have come back with something in its mouth last night." ”
Zhao Ying reminded Wu Zhongyuan that he noticed this detail, before he was only kissing Apo as a sheep, but if he looked closely, he was indeed licking its beard.
When he found Po last night, Po just shook his tail at him and didn't make a sound, which means that Po probably has something in his mouth, no matter what it is, it won't be very big, otherwise Po won't be able to hold it.
In addition, the reason why the ewe licks Apo's beard is probably because what Apo held in his mouth melted and dripped on his beard, or it could be that Apo had some sticky on his beard when he took that thing.
Puzzled, he went back and carried a bucket of corn gruel, went into the sheepfold and fed it to Apo, and while Apo came to eat, he cut off a few of his whiskers.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan actually put a sheep's beard in his mouth, Zhao Ying had a disgusting and suspicious expression, "Is it dirty?"
Wu Zhongyuan spit out his sheep's beard, spit out two more mouthfuls of saliva, turned around and walked out.
"What did you taste?" Zhao Ying frowned.
"Shame. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile, turned around and left, "I'll go get you water and rinse your mouth." ”
Wu Zhongyuan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ying, in fact, he didn't tell Zhao Ying the truth, it can also be said that he only told half of the truth, the sheep's beard is indeed angry, but in addition to the anger, there is also an obvious salty taste, which shows that what Apo brought back last night is likely to be salt, and it is a special large crystal, if it is powdered, the salt will melt before it runs back.
Although sheep are herbivorous animals, they also need to supplement salt, salt is the magic weapon of Apo Paoniu, the reason why it was able to abduct the ewes was because it brought back salt to the ewes, and the ewes tasted the sweetness, and they would leave the flock to feed with it.
Knowing that Apo was looking for salt last night, this is enough, salt is the reference, and on the west side of the northernmost peak, where there is salt, is the place where the clue is hidden.
After more than ten days of hard work, he finally had a clue, Wu Zhongyuan was relieved, sometimes the truth is not complicated, it just floats on the surface, but he thinks about it by himself.
It didn't take long for Zhao Ying to come back and hand the water cup to Wu Zhongyuan, "Rinse your mouth quickly." ”
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and glanced at Zhao Ying, who handed over her own water cup.
After a short hesitation, Wu Zhongyuan took the water cup and rinsed his mouth, then returned the water cup to Zhao Ying, and sat outside the sheepfold to peel eggs and eat.
Eating and thinking can be carried out at the same time, he is more or less guilty at this time, Zhao Ying has helped him a lot, if it wasn't for Zhao Ying's repeated shots on the night of the incident, he might have been killed by the middle-aged Taoist.
Concealment is actually equivalent to deception, he clearly had clues at this time, but he didn't tell Zhao Ying, although he had his own hardships, he was still a little unrighteous.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was a little choked, Zhao Ying handed over the water cup again.
Wu Zhongyuan was already a little guilty, and Zhao Ying's move made him even more embarrassed, but the clue left by Yao Ziqin was too important, if it was leaked and someone took the lead, he couldn't go back, he couldn't say it, he really couldn't say it.
But this can't be said, but nothing else can be said, Wu Zhongyuan took the water cup and drank two sips, then opened his backpack and took out all the gold utensils inside, in addition to the gold utensils, and the three small bottles were also taken out, "You spent a lot of money for me, and these gold were given to you." These bottles contain pills, which should be ancient, and they are also given to you, and you take them back for business. ”
"What's the difference?" Zhao Ying inspected the gold utensils one by one, most of the gold utensils were jewelry, and there were also a small number of living utensils.
"The crystal coffin and the body of the wizard were all removed by them, and the body and armor of the Taoist priest were also removed by them, you worked so hard, and in the end you didn't get anything, and the leader didn't criticize you?" Wu Zhongyuan said.
Empathy and understanding the difficulties of others is an excellent character, Zhao Ying did not answer, but looked Wu Zhongyuan up and down.
Wu Zhongyuan was sorting out the change of clothes in his bag, and didn't notice that Zhao Ying was looking at him, "Let's talk about it in advance, I may still need that staff in the future, if I need it, you have to give it back to me." ”
Zhao Ying smiled, "Okay." ”
Wu Zhongyuan pulled up his backpack and smashed the last egg.
"Are there many men like you in China now?" Zhao Ying asked.
"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan didn't react and tilted his head to look at her.
"Do you know what the West says about you?" Zhao Ying asked again.
"Do you know what we say about them?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan say this, Zhao Ying knew that his problem had annoyed him again, "I didn't mean to slander you, but in Western propaganda, the Chinese are the informant Yuan Shikai and the evil Fu Manchu. ”
"That's because they are maliciously vilifying us, what qualifications do the aggressors have to evaluate others, do they know what loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are?" Wu Zhongyuan raised his voice.
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was angry, Zhao Ying hurriedly diverted the topic, "Since you have taken out these things, I will send them back, and the results of the analysis and laboratory tests will be told to you as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, these things should all be funerary goods from ancient tombs, and they belong to different eras," Wu Zhongyuan picked up two gold objects, "This small gold bowl is from the Yuan Dynasty, and this hairpin should be from the middle Qing Dynasty." ”
"Where did he get these things?" Zhao Ying was puzzled.
"It should have been dug up from the ancient tomb," Wu Zhongyuan said, pointing to the pill bottles, "Ancient people had the habit of taking pills, and that middle-aged Taoist was probably looking for pills left over from ancient times." ”
Zhao Ying nodded, she had shot the middle-aged Taoist before, the middle-aged Taoist was shot but did not die, and there was no blood flowing out of the wound, there is no reasonable explanation for this strange situation, at present, the truth is likely to be hidden in these small porcelain bottles.
"How long are you going to stay here?" asked Zhao Ying.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "It's not good, what's wrong?"
"I want to send these things back and add some necessary field equipment. Zhao Ying pointed to the medicine bottles and gold utensils.
"Okay, let's go. Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Three days at most, I'll be back. Zhao Ying packed her things.
"Good. Wu Zhongyuan responded.
"Don't you leave a few pills in these bottles?" Zhao Ying asked, seeing Wu Zhongyuan's puzzled face, he explained with a smile, "In case it is an immortal elixir, you still don't regret the green intestines?"
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand, "Don't don't, take it all, it's really an immortal elixir, will it still be buried in the grave?"
Zhao Ying laughed, packed her things, put on her backpack and left the village.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't go to see her off, he didn't know what direction she was going, and he didn't know how she went.
Coercion and inducement are both derogatory terms, but they are the two main motivators that drive things forward.
Coercion is done passively, and this is the case when you are forced to make a living, and you have to work hard in order to live.
The inducement is to take the initiative to do, and the essence of hard work is actually to be tempted by a better life, in order to create and have a better life, and to do it willingly.
The coercion and temptation in Apo and the little ewe are manifested in the fact that Apo lured the little ewe with salt, and in order to get more salt, the little ewe is willing to follow Apo.
But the little ewe was too timid to leave the sheepfold at night, and the next day it was dawn before she followed Apo westward.
Wu Zhongyuan knew where they were going, so he didn't follow, but used squatting to catch up with them, rushing to the west side of the mountain peak before them to hide, waiting for them to pass.
After waiting for half an hour, Apo came with the little ewe.
There is a relatively steep mountain wall on the west side, about four or five meters high, and there are small cracks in the upper part of the mountain wall.
Because the stone wall was very steep, the little ewe could not climb up, so he had to wait below, and Apo climbed up the mountain wall and squeezed his head into the crack with difficulty.
At this time, Apo's own advantages are reflected, the horns of Boer goats are different from the horns of ordinary goats, its horns grow backwards, while ordinary goats grow upwards and left and right, and the cracks in the mountain wall Apo's head can squeeze in, but other goats can't squeeze in.
Soon, Awa pulled a lump of salt out of the crack and jumped off the mountain wall.
The little ewe approached, but Apo did not give it immediately, but walked out of the distance with the salt in his mouth and put it on the ground, undoubtedly because he did not want to expose his "treasure house". ”
This height is nothing to Wu Zhongyuan, he jumped up, climbed with one hand, and observed the cracks, there were many salt blocks in the cracks, which were naturally formed rock salts, of different sizes, the big ones were the size of half a matchbox, and the small ones were about the same as beans.
In the depths of the crack, there was a white cylindrical metal object, which reached in and grabbed out, and it was an old-fashioned flashlight.
This kind of flashlight is very common in rural areas, almost every household had it in the early years, and after buying it, Wu Zhongyuan knew that the flashlight was not loaded with batteries but something else, because the weight was wrong.
Unscrew the lid at the end and pour out the contents, which is a roll of sheepskin wrapped in oiled paper.
I tore open the oiled paper, spread it out, and found that inside was an old sheepskin and a piece of modern kraft paper, the sheepskin was relatively small, about 32 open, and it was written in Tibetan, the text was very small, and the number of words was very large. The kraft paper is relatively large, about 16 carats, and it is densely packed with modern Chinese characters.
The first sentence on the vellum is: 'The parchment left by the ancestors means in Tibetan. This indicates that the contents of the vellum are a translation of the parchment Tibetan.
This flashlight was left by Yao Ziqin, and the content on the brown paper should also be translated by Yao Ziqin.
Excited in his heart, Wu Zhongyuan didn't read it carefully, but glanced at ten lines at a glance and took a rough look first.
After reading it, his heart was mixed, and he was pleased that it recorded a method that could travel through time and space, this method was that the little wizard woke up and transformed a formation left in ancient times, so that it could open the wormhole under certain conditions, and send the person who opened the wormhole back to the ancient period, and the parchment clearly stated the detailed location of the formation, as well as the specific method of entering that area.
What worries him is that certain conditions need to be met to open the wormhole, that formation is like a car, if you want to start the car, you must have gasoline, for the formation, the gasoline to start it is the kind of white jade, which was called a spirit stone in ancient times.
The number of spirit stones is not the key to starting the formation, the important thing is the amount of spiritual energy contained in the spirit stone, the spiritual energy contained in each spirit stone is roughly equal, but as time goes by, the spiritual energy contained in the spirit stone will gradually decrease, and it is necessary to search for multiple spirit stones until it accumulates to a certain level before it can start the formation.
In the second half of the vellum, are the names of fifteen people, as well as their gender, age, and personality......
