Chapter 43: It's really not good to have no culture

"The secret of cracking the rune? Oh, my God! How is this possible! This thing looks like a ghost drawing, who can read it? Zhang Ergou had a headache, this kind of brainless work should be left to Chen Sanshui to do.

Although Chen Sanshui couldn't understand these runes, he knew that there must be special rules in them, and once he found the rules of these runes, then it would be easy to crack!

"I think I've seen these runes too!" At this time, Chiba Sakura said something coldly, which made Chen Sanshui and Zhang Ergou stunned, thinking to themselves, how could this woman have seen such a rune?

"Do you know these runes? Hurry up and tell Brother Shui what these runes represent, so that Brother Shui can crack it! Zhang Ergou said excitedly.

"You tell me to think about it, where the hell have I seen it?"

Chiba Sakura's brain was a little chaotic all of a sudden, she stared at the runes above and tried to meditate for a long time, and after a long time, she suddenly said excitedly: "In the remnant sun of an arrow, eight horses go to Nanshan, Pisces sink into the sand sea, seven geese return to the northern cold, four monkeys capture the sun and the moon, three sheep climb Mount Tai, fly white snow in June, nine songs fall on the Yellow Beach, five grains Qi Fengrui, immortal." ”

"Well, how did you memorize our ancient Chinese poems? What does this have to do with runes? Zhang Ergou asked incomprehensibly.

"It has a lot to do with it! The poem she memorized was the key to unlocking the secrets of the runes! Chen Sanshui stared at the runes above his head and said.

"So the ancestors of the Chiba family are really the people of the Qin Dynasty? Then they are also the descendants of Yan and Huang like us? Zhang Ergou asked angrily.

"Our Chinese civilization has been up and down for 5,000 years, and it remains to be verified whether the Chiba family is the same ancestor as ours, but their ancestors must have lived in the Qin Dynasty for many years, otherwise the poems left behind would not be so slippery, but I am also curious about how the people in their family passed down this poem?" Chen Sanshui said with a smile.

"This poem is written in ancient Chinese, which is also the reason why our Chiba family members have to learn Chinese, otherwise this inheritance may have long been broken, these runes and the poem I just recited are sealed in the ancestral hall of the Chiba family, and only the annual ancestor worship ceremony will be taken out for the clan to watch." Sakura Chiba explained.

"But I still can't see any connection between this poem and these runes above my head, so I'll leave the decipherment to Brother Shui." Zhang Ergou said helplessly.

"Every sentence in this poem just now contains numbers, and the order is one, eight, two, seven, four, three, six, nine, five, zero, and these runes actually correspond exactly to each other!"

"Exactly? Why didn't I see it? How do you see that these runes are crooked, neither like words nor patterns? Zhang Ergou asked very incomprehensibly.

"Whether it is cuneiform, oracle bone writing, Latin writing, Mayan writing, these ancient characters have one thing in common, that is, they are related to the things of the time, it is a simplified pattern, and there must be a big difference compared to the current text, although I can't understand these runes, but I think these runes are somewhat similar to the small seals of the Qin Dynasty, and if you deduce it slowly, you should be able to find the corresponding rune position." Chen Sanshui thought for a while and said.

"Hmmm! When you say that, I think these words are really a bit similar to Xiao Seal! Zhang Ergou said excitedly.

"When Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, he unified writing, currency, and weights and measures, so it is likely that this script is an ancient script that circulated in the other six countries." Chen Sanshui analyzed.

"Didn't the ancestors of the Chiba family build this cemetery hundreds of years later? Why don't you write in a script that we can understand? Zhang Ergou asked with hatred and incomprehension.

"First, it is not confirmed whether the ancestor of the Chiba family lived for hundreds of years, and second, even if the ancestor of the Chiba family really lived for hundreds of years, there was no popular writing in Japan at that time, and third, it may be that the other party misses his hometown too much, so he used the words of his hometown to express his homesickness."

Chen Sanshui's inference is also reasonable, no matter what the case is, the top priority is to deduce the correct corresponding rune as soon as possible, and then it is possible to find useful clues.

"Miss Chiba, since you know these runes and can memorize this poem, why don't you know the secret?" Zhang Ergou couldn't help but ask.

"I've only seen it for a few moments, and I don't understand the meaning of these runes at all, and that poem is memorized by every descendant of the Chiba family, and I can't say what the specific connection is."

Chiba Sakura is also helpless now, and there are only so many clues she can provide.

Chen Sanshui had been staring at the runes above his head and thinking, and after a long time, a light flashed in his eyes, and a smile finally appeared on his face!

"Brother Shui, have you thought of a way?" Zhang Ergou saw that the other party was confident, and his heart also relaxed a little.

"If my calculations are correct, this rune above my head needs to be moved!" Chen Sanshui said with a smile.

"Move the location? How do you go up and move over such a high distance? Besides, there is water all around, so we don't have a place to stay? Zhang Ergou said incomprehensibly.

Chen Sanshui didn't explain, but said to Chiba Sakura on the side: "Do you still have a pistol on you?" ”

"Is this okay?" Sakura Chiba pulled out a lipstick from her jacket pocket, which was actually a lipstick gun.

"Yes, but you'll want to hit the half-moon rune on the very edge." Chen Sanshui pointed to the half-moon-shaped rune above his head and said.

Chiba Sakura nodded, then aimed at the half-moon rune, and fired a shot without hesitation.

Chiba Sakura has practiced marksmanship since she was a child, and it was easy for her to hit the runes at such a close distance.

When the bullet hit the half-moon rune, the entire stone brick directly recessed into it, and then a mechanical sound was heard, and eight stone pillars actually appeared in the water, rising in a stepped shape, and the distance from the stone brick rune at the top was less than two meters.

"I'll go! It's too hidden, isn't it? Brother Shui, how did you find out? Zhang Ergou asked in amazement.

"The half-moon-shaped rune just now should represent the remnant sun, and the meaning of an arrow remnant yang should be to shoot this rune stone brick with an arrow, because this rune stone brick is the mechanism that opens the entire tomb, and the eight pillars that appear now should be related to the eight horses going to Nanshan, I guess it is to go up and move the rune bricks above, so that the mechanism behind can be opened." Chen Sanshui speculated.

"Hey, aren't the people who designed this kind of mechanism tired? What good things is he hiding here? It's also so brain-wrenching! In the future, I won't dare to fight for gold without a little culture! No wonder our line of work is slowly lost, who will do this with cultural people! Zhang Ergou's head was big for a while, and he felt that he couldn't do this business anymore!
