Chapter 45: Critical Strike (Asking for Votes)
Early in the morning, when he found that Zhang Chu was not there, Wang Feng knew that the other party must not give up, and he still remembered the so-called tomb of King Chu...... Is this an obsession?
Wang Feng couldn't understand, he weighed it for a long time, and finally decided...... No matter. He is not Zhang Chu's parents and elders, and the other party is also an adult, so he should know the pros and cons of the matter.
What kind of choice to make, what kind of consequences to bear, the other party should be clear.
In this case, Wang Feng was too lazy to say.
As usual, he went into the kitchen and began to cook and stir-fry.
Finish the meal and send it to Dunant.
In the workshop, the charcoal fire is like a wave, like an oven. In such an environment, Wang Feng only stayed for a few minutes, and the sweat on his forehead was gushing like spring water.
As for Dunan Xing, it was even more unbearable, his whole body seemed to be smeared with a layer of oil, and he was sweating profusely.
The process of forging swords is also approaching a critical moment. After more than half a month of repeated folding and forging, the work of removing meteorite impurities is nearing the end.
Next, it is necessary to melt the impurity-free meteorite into juice again, and then cast Fanzhong.
Fan is the sword fan.
In layman's terms, it is a model of the sword.
It is shaped with clay, and then put into a kiln to be dried by fire, and then corrected, and the texture is like pottery. After casting, whether the resulting sword blank is regular and harmonious, symmetrical and beautiful, is determined by whether the model is fine enough.
Therefore, this is a very technical job, and it cannot be taken lightly.
All in all, in the past few days, Wang Feng did not dare to disturb Du Nanxing, lest he fail.
He put down his meal, watched for a moment, and then left the workshop.
Back at the residence, it was already noon.
Wang Feng found that he had nothing to do all of a sudden, and he was idle, but he was at a loss. He was about to swipe his mobile phone when he saw Zhang Chufeng breaking into the hall in a hurry.
At this moment, Zhang Chu had difficulty breathing, his voice was dry, like a mouse in the bellows, out of breath: "I... Yes... New discoveries ......"
"What discovery?"
Wang Feng raised his eyes with a question mark on his face.
"Last night, I pondered for a night, and the cave is dozens of miles away from Jingshan. In addition, there is no trace of excavation in the cave, and it must be a pure natural water cave. ”
Zhang Chu drank a glass of water and gasped: "So that cave is definitely not the address of the royal tomb." ”
“…… That's right. ”
Wang Feng thought for a while and agreed: "After all, that cave is too far from the Lonely Mountain King's Tomb that you identified. No matter how wide the palace of the ancient emperor's royal tomb is, it will not expand to that side. ”
"So it's strange. ”
Zhang Chu nodded and said, "Why did the jade of the Chu Kingdom appear in the dark river?"
“…… I don't know. ”
Wang Feng shook his head and speculated: "Maybe it's ...... A certain Chu person, thousands of years ago, once entered a cave and inadvertently lost something there......"
This reason is not reliable. ”
Zhang Chu disagreed, he said in a deep voice: "You must know that decades ago, the cave was discovered by a bandit leader. If he were like us, he would definitely search the entire cave. ”
"If there was a jade bi in the dark river back then, he would definitely find it. ”
Seeing Wang Feng, as if he had something to say, Zhang Chu hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and continued: "There is also that white bone, we saw it, and our first reaction was to kill people and kill people......
"The normal reasoning should be that the bandit leader killed his men who were carrying arms, money and food together in order to hide the existence of the secret vault, and the bones were left in the cave and no one knew about it...... And then we found out. ”
"Isn't it?" Wang Feng asked rhetorically.
"That's what I thought before. But now, I feel ...... There is another possibility. ”
Zhang Chu's eyes were bright, and he suddenly grabbed a book in his arms, and then handed it to Wang Feng.
"What is this?" Wang Feng was confused.
"County Chronicles, Jingshan Hydrological Data. ”
Zhang Chu opened the book, pointed to one of the pages, and smiled excitedly: "Half a month ago, I deliberately went to find information for the defense map, and I accidentally saw this text, which impressed me. ”
"Huh?"
Wang Feng lowered his head and glanced at ten lines.
"Dry period?"
Wang Feng was surprised that the content of the text was introduced that twenty or thirty years ago, the Jingshan area ushered in a large-scale dry period due to seasonal environmental reasons.
Whether it is rivers and streams and lakes on the ground, or underground rivers, there is a big water cut.
The water has been cut off for half a year, and the people are hard.
In the end, it was the government that mobilized the masses to open canals to divert water from neighboring cities to lead everyone through the difficulties.
"What does that mean?"
Wang Feng didn't understand it very well, and he couldn't understand the logical relationship.
"You come ......"
Zhang Chu directly pulled Wang Feng to the table.
On the tabletop, there is also a mountain topography map painted by Wang Feng before. Zhang Chu pointed to the painting and said in a tone of hatred that iron does not become steel: "Look at the direction of these mountain streams and streams, don't you understand?"
"What do you know?"
Wang Feng was confused, he was not doubting his IQ, but worried that Zhang Chu would become paranoid.
"Water flows from the mountains, in the direction of mountain villages and county seats. Zhang Chu was impatient, but he still explained: "The underground river is also a ......."
He simply used a pen to sketch on the drawing.
"The direction of the dark river must be from the cave, to the lonely mountain, and then to the mountain village...... Zhang Chu swore that "the cold spring in Lao Du's workshop is the evidence." Where there is a spring, there must be groundwater. ”
"Sounds like there's some truth. ”
Wang Feng's eyes turned, and a flash of inspiration flashed in an instant: "Understood...... What you mean is that if there is really a royal tomb underground palace under the lonely mountain, then the underground river in the cave has passed through the underground palace...... Or rather, it has melted away the ...... of the dungeon."
"Then in the dry season, the water flowing into the dungeon is like the ebb tide of the sea, bringing the white bones and jade in the dungeon back to the cave......
"Smack!"
Zhang Chu slapped Wang Feng on the shoulder, and said with a red face: "It turns out that you are not stupid." That's right, that's what I mean. ”
“…… Get out!"
Wang Feng rolled his eyes.
"Hey, hey. ”
Zhang Chu smirked: "Right, my inference is reasonable, right?"
Wang Feng didn't speak, and groaned with his chin propped up.
He looked at him for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly: "The evidence is not enough." ”
"Why is it not sufficient?" Zhang Chu was anxious, he didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, and at dawn, he suddenly opened up and thought of this possibility.
So when the day was bright, he went to the county town and searched for information again. finally found evidence from the hydrological data, but Wang Feng could not get the recognition, which made him ...... Very unwilling, inexplicably annoyed.
"How can you be sure that the groundwater must pass through the lonely mountain?"
Wang Feng asked, "Isn't it possible to bypass the lonely mountain and reach the mountain village with the groundwater?"
Critical ......
Zhang Chu was stunned, this is the biggest loophole.
