Chapter Fifty-Eight: Finally Finding Out the Whereabouts of Jairs
Hearing Yi He's excited tone, I knew that we had finally found the right direction this time.
He was very cautious, especially after confirming my identity, he was even more respectful and polite to me, if he was not very sure that he would not have answered like this, the reason why he was so excited only means that he was 100% sure, and this is the clue for us to continue to investigate.
Xue Nan was also overjoyed when he heard his answer, but he couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"How can you be sure that this crest is related to the Jairus statue, and if the construction workers at that time wanted to carve a few crests on this rockery, why not?"
"There's something wrong with this rockery."
Yi He didn't answer directly, but talked about the weirdness of this rockery.
"The rockery was originally piled up with various materials to form a mountain shape for viewing, but this rockery is not the case, except for a little smaller, no matter from what point of view, this is a genuine hill, I even suspect that it is the first mountain, and then the builders built this Huanghua Temple based on this mountain."
"In addition, even if this rockery is not surprising, the most important thing is that I carefully observed the top of this rockery, and found that there is a pattern engraved on each mantle head."
Is there a pattern on the skull?
Cantis, a kind of dragon without horns in myths and legends, is often used as decoration in ancient buildings or handicrafts, because it has a large mouth and a belly that can hold a lot of water, and is mostly used for the decoration of drainage outlets in buildings, called the head of the crest, and at the same time, because of its dangerous nature and bravery, the part of the eaves in the palace will also carve it, called the claw kiss.
I can't help but wonder in my heart, this claw itself is one of the patterns of strange beasts in ancient legends, and what pattern will actually cover it?
Yi He didn't let us guess for too long, looking at the doubts on our faces, he slowly spoke, and with excitement revealed the truth for us.
"What is carved on this head is Bi Fang, Jairus, Baxia, Qi Zhi and Bai Ze!"
As soon as Yi He's words came out, there was no longer any debate about whether this was the place where the clue was located.
We have long known that the five statues related to the safety of Shenzhou originated from ancient times, and they were not made by human beings, and they were all carved into the shape of strange beasts in ancient times.
And the five stone carvings on the top of this false hill actually correspond to the mysterious five statues, which is very important, and there can be no coincidence theory, so it can be seen that this place must be related to the hiding place of the Jairus statue!
Shen Lang, who has always been very arrogant, suddenly became careful at this time, and when we were in excitement, he looked around the rockery left and right, and finally asked us a very realistic question.
"Brother Chuan, in fact, after Yi He finished his guess yesterday, I knew that Bacheng was these stone carved heads, but even if we know it now, it's actually useless."
Qi Zhi was originally comforting Wushuang who was trying to climb the rockery, but she heard Shen Lang speak, and her eyes were full of confusion when she looked at Shen Lang.
"Isn't our goal to find the statue before anyone else, and since this is the secret where the statue hides, how can it be useless?"
Different from Qi Zhi's simplicity, after Xue Nan listened to Shen Lang's words, he thought about it seriously, and finally nodded helplessly and explained to Qi Zhi.
"It's really useless sister, what we have to do is not to find where the clues are, but to find out where the statues are, even if we know that these heads are the clues, but after the rain, we don't have time to wait here for another rainstorm."
What Shen Lang and Xue Nan said was right.
Even if we know that this is the clue to hide the statue, but since this clue is the place where the head of the mantis erupted after the rain, we have missed the first time to come here to investigate after the rainstorm, and now that the wind is good, this head will naturally not start to spew water outward for no reason.
And on the fifteenth day of next month, the unscrupulous mastermind behind the scenes is going to attack Jinghong, we really don't have time here to bet on when this rain will come, so it is really useless to think about this clue.
"Why don't we try to sprinkle water by hand?"
Qi Zhi is a child's heart in the end, and she actually put forward such a whimsical idea.
"Useless stupid sister, let's not talk about how much water we need, just talk about the location of this mantle, the head of the mantle is on the top of this rockery, seven or eight meters above the ground, how can we sprinkle water on the head of the mantle without alarming others."
Xue Nan saw Qi Zhi's naïve thoughts, she did not speak sarcastically, but analyzed the feasibility of this method to her with a worried face, which was basically zero.
I was also worried, and I couldn't think of a perfect solution to this problem for a while, so I anxiously paced back and forth at the bottom of this rockery, and occasionally raised my head only to find that everyone was lost, but Chunting and Yihe, the two people who should be in the same situation, invariably let out a chuckle, as if they had already been prepared.
Seeing the reaction of the two of them, my heart that I had brought up was put down again.
After so many things, in fact, we have unconsciously reached a consensus, that is, as long as Chunting and Yihe do not say that they are at the end of the road, then we can unconditionally believe that there is still a turning point in all this.
I finally smiled reassuringly, looking at the two people leisurely, and my tone relaxed.
"Don't be scary, you two, say anything you want to say quickly."
"It's not that hard to say."
Yi He glanced at Chunting, with a rare expression of sympathy on his face, and looked at us in a relaxed tone to explain what the turning point was.
"We don't necessarily have to see the state of the head of the mantis when it drains, all we need to find is the water that it drains after the rainstorm, I just went to the top of this false mountain to check, and I have already memorized the opening direction of the five heads of the mantises, if it is calculated, it is not difficult to get the drainage track of the head of the mantis."
A word wakes up the dreamer.
As Yi He said, what we want is not to see the process with our own eyes, but the final result, even if we can't see it now, we can also infer it by the direction of bearing, and calculating such things as parabolas is naturally much easier than the various mechanical problems of the past thousand years.
After Yi He finished speaking, he squatted on the ground, picked up a small pebble from the side at random, and then drew the respective directions and opening directions of the five mantle heads on the ground, and then got up to look at us.
"This is the distribution of the head of the cockroach on the rockery, and then you only need to analyze the drainage trajectory of the cockroach, who of you will come?"
This simple parabola naturally couldn't overwhelm me, but who knew that before it was my turn to show my skills, Qi Zhi took the first step to squat on the ground, and seriously took the stone to write and draw on the ground.
Sure enough, these five parabolic trajectories do intersect at one point after some distance, and this point should be where we will explore next.
Xue Nan looked at the clues we got after some efforts and asked excitedly.
"Where is this?"
Chun Ting looked at Qi Zhi's results, and an unusually weird smile appeared on his face.
"This is actually the Water and Land Palace." Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
