The coherent association of the old uncle and grandson was completed in one go, and his attention was focused on the withered plants in the vase.

Hearing him say this, I also think it makes sense, after all, the area of open space under this huge banyan tree is not large, except for the sculpture of Nuwa Niangniang in front of me, there is only the well next to it, so it is natural to connect all this.

I carefully changed the angle to look at the withered plant in the bottle, it looked like a seedling of what kind of plant, which made me even more puzzled, it is said that no matter what kind of plant, even if it is a very slow growth ginkgo tree, it has really grown for more than fifty years, and it has already become a big tree, but the small seedling in front of me is no more than twenty or thirty centimeters long, as thick as a pencil for a child's writing, no matter how you look at it, it should not have grown for many years.

"You say if we pour some water into the bottle, will it come back to life?"

Chen Laosan also kept staring at the bottle and the seedlings, muttering.

As soon as he mentioned the water, several people looked at the well beside me again, and I thought to myself: It can't be so simple! There is a well next to this, why don't you just take a little bit and try it?

Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, this is what the great leader Chairman Mao said, and it was also the idea of my uncle at that time, but the problem is that there are no tools to get water! Now the four big men are naked, not to mention pots and jars, not even a piece of clothing......

Thinking so, the four of them gathered around the mouth of the well.

Surrounded by the well, I found that the black stone along the inner side of the well is engraved with four big characters, these four characters have complex strokes, horizontal and uneven, vertical and not straight, not so much words, I think it is more like a graphic or symbol.

I don't know these words, and Chen Laosan doesn't know them, but Zhang Kailong recognized them decently, and finally only said: "This seems to be the golden text of the Shang Dynasty!" ”

Uncle Shi didn't speak at first, but after seeing a few of us embarrassed, he smiled coldly and said, "Don't talk about you, even a professor who teaches Chinese in a university can't know this word!" ”

"Oh?" Uncle Shi's words suddenly reminded me of antique Li.

When we found the mysterious stele in an ancient tomb in Linxian a few months ago, the antique Li said something similar, saying that it was a script that was popular in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River for a short time, and then disappeared......

I casually said, "Is this a script that was once popular in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and until now, there are not many people in the country who can recognize it?" ”

"Huh?" Hearing me say this, Uncle Shi's face was full of doubts, and he looked at me with a little surprise on his face. "How do you know?"

I followed his example, smiled coldly, and then replied, "I have a deceased friend who once found this kind of writing in an ancient tomb, and said so. ”

"Your friend? Do you still have such friends? "Uncle Shi is even more confused." What's your friend's name? It can't be the surname Li, right? ”

"That's right! It's surnamed Li! "At this time, it was the turn of the three of us to wonder.

Zhang Kailong hurriedly asked: "Do you know antique Li?" Profound! Antique Lee is just his nickname, his name is ...... Called......"

I casually said, "Li Guohua!" ”

Zhang Kailong replied: "Yes! It's called Li Guohua! ”

I saw that Uncle Shi's face changed slightly, but it returned to its original state in an instant. Looking at this scene, I think Uncle Shi will definitely reveal something that we don't know about, and it seems that he should know the antique Lee.

Who knew that Uncle Shi changed the topic, pointed to those words, and read in his mouth: "Yellow River Spring!" ”

"This is the Yellow River Spring?"

I remember that on the way here, my uncle mentioned this name, but at that time I thought that the so-called Yellow River Spring should be a huge waterfall or a surging fountain, but I didn't expect it to be just a well.

Looking into the well, a chill hit my face, and I realized why it had suddenly become so cold, it turned out that this well was doing the trick.

It was pitch black inside the well, and there seemed to be a white mist floating there, and even I couldn't see through it, let alone anyone else.

"The source of the Yellow River should be the root of the Yellow River, its real source! I didn't expect it to be just a well! Zhang Kailong scratched his head and asked, "Isn't the source of this Yellow River in the Bayan Kala Mountains of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?" How could it be this well! ”

Uncle Shi smiled slightly: "The Yellow River you said is different from the Yellow River I said, the Yellow River in your eyes is just some stagnant water, and the real Yellow River is actually not a river!" ”

As soon as I heard it, I wanted to curse, several people said this, I was tired of hearing it, but no one could explain it to me, why is the Yellow River not a river?

Obviously, Zhang Kailong didn't understand, so he had to laugh a few times.

Regardless of whether the Yellow River is a river or not, the biggest problem in front of us now is how to get water from this well, first, there are no tools, and second, this well seems to be very deep, even if we are given a pot and jar, it is not impossible to get it.

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, all with helpless expressions on their faces.

After being silent for a while, Uncle Shi asked me: "Xiao Zhen, will you be the 'Heavenly Rope' of our Yellow River Taoism?" ”

"Tongtian Rope" is a kind of Taoist technique that can be "ascended" by only relying on the rope recorded in those Yellow River Taoist scriptures, and it is similar to the "Longitudinal Cloud Ladder", and I can only memorize the key points of the method, but I don't actually know how to use it.

Hearing me say that I can memorize the key to the Fa, Uncle Shi's eyes lit up.

"If you know the trick, it's easy to do!"

I know that there is such a clause in the canons of the Yellow River Taoism, that is, certain Taoist secrets and important doors can only be known by the master, in fact, this is like a country, and the highest secrets are only in the hands of the supreme leader.

Uncle Shi pulled me aside, and the two of them communicated, and I suddenly realized that this "rope to heaven" turned out to be so magical, but a new problem came again, even if I could really rely on a rope to go down to the well, but where is the rope?

As soon as he heard that he needed a rope, Chen Laosan shouted: "This thing is easy to do!" ”

Then Chen Laosan shouted to Zhang Kailong and I to go back to the crown of the huge banyan tree, find a place with lush foliage, and then he began to pull the bark on the branches.

That's right! We can rub the rope ourselves out of bark! That's how primitive humans made ropes thousands of years ago.

Zhang Kailong and I immediately got together, and in a short time, the three of us tore off more than a dozen pieces of bark.

In fact, most of the branches around this huge canopy are thicker than ordinary trees, and the bark of such thick branches is so thick that you can't get it down without tools. It is not good if it is too fine, the bark is too tender and has no toughness. So we had to split up and pick on the arm-thick branches.

I was tearing the bark down from a branch when I accidentally looked up and saw that the bark above my body was gone!
