It took him nearly two hours to translate the ancient drawings and words on the vellum into his notebook, and in the end, he also encountered a problem.

He can be sure that this is a cottage, but the name of the cottage makes him very confused, according to the meaning of the explanation, it should be "a place for women", but this is a bit unreasonable! It can't be the daughter country in Journey to the West, right?

I suggest that you just call it "Girl Tribe"!

Antique Li's geographical knowledge is very average, he can only see that this ancient village is located somewhere in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and he can't see the specific location.

I picked up the strange murders that happened in Laomiao Village recently, as well as the evil things I knew about the Yellow River, and told the antique Li again, and when I said that the "Yellow River Ancient Bell" could suppress the evil spirits accumulated in the Yellow River for thousands of years, his face was full of disbelief.

"Xiao Zhen, if what you said is true, then I think the third ancient bell is the Yellow River ancient bell you should be looking for."

Antique Li said thoughtfully.

"Why does it have to be a third bite? Isn't this one found in the tomb okay? ”

I asked, confused.

"You think! The ancient bell that sank into the Yellow River 60 years ago has now rusted into a rusty shape, and the facts have proved that it has no deterrent effect on the evil things in the Yellow River; The ancient bell dug up in the ancient tomb itself has an evil spirit, although it is not known why this is happening, but it is obviously not and cannot be used. ”

I didn't seem to understand, and then asked, "How do you know that the third ancient bell has an effect?" ”

Antique Li Gan laughed a few times and replied: "I also judged based on all the information, since these three ancient bells are from the same fast meteorite, then they should all have the energy of meteorite, if these three ancient bells are still preserved in the ancient village, then it should still retain the kind of energy that we don't understand."

The result of our communication was that we must find the ancient village and bring back the ancient clock.

After returning to Hekou District from Linxian, Antique Li found a friend of his who was familiar with geography to help him find the specific location of the ancient village.

His friend is a university geography teacher who specializes in ancient geography and climate change.

He glanced at the map translated by Antique Li a few times, and then looked at the ancient map, his face full of doubts.

"Lao Li, there is something wrong with this picture! Can...... But you have no problem deciphering it, it should be that there is a problem with the ancient map itself. His classmate explained.

"Why do you say there's something wrong with this map? Does it mean that the place marked on the map does not exist? ”

Antique Li's classmate only touched the back of his head, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, as if it was difficult to explain clearly.

"How so...... According to the map marking, this place should theoretically exist, but in practice it cannot exist......"

The more I listened, the more confused I became, and I couldn't help but interject and ask, "Why does it exist in theory, but it doesn't actually exist?" ”

"Because according to these marks, this ancient village should be in the interior of Helan Mountain—how can there be an ancient village in the interior of the mountain?"

Hearing his words, Antique Li and I were also confused.

"Lao Gao, do you think there is a clearing in the middle of Helan Mountain, let's say...... For example, this Helan Mountain is actually a patchwork of several peaks, and from the outside, it is a whole, but in fact, there is a lot of space inside. ”

Antique Lee asked.

I understand the meaning of the antique Li, according to the record on the stone tablet, this ancient village seems to be extremely hidden, and the people inside can easily get in touch with the outside world, but it is difficult for the outside world to contact them.

I've also imagined what this place is, and I can't think of a reason for it.

Teacher Gao took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, thought for a moment, and replied, "If this ancient map is not wrong, then this may be the only explanation."

After walking out of the house of Mr. Gao, a classmate of Antique Li, both of them were full of worries.

I am judging whether the words of Antique Li are credible, and how credible they are, if his words are credible, then I should go to this Helan Mountain and find this mysterious ancient village.

Antique Li seemed to be more preoccupied, and until they separated, he didn't say a few words to me again.

At the time of parting, Antique Li handed me the notebook, saying that he had memorized it by heart, and the two agreed to exchange news through Yang Guoshan and Wang Jiliang.

I always feel that since listening to Mr. Gao's words, antique Li has always been weird.

Back in Laomiao Village, I first went to Wang Jiliang's house, he was not at home, and after learning from Aunt Wang's mouth that nothing had happened in the village, I was a little relieved.

This time, I didn't go back to Yanli's house, but went to my own small dilapidated house first, and I might have to go out for a long time, so I had to clean up the mess at home.

I was an orphan and had never met my parents, and my adoptive father, Chen Lao'er, fell ill when I was 10 years old and died soon after.

A few days before he died, he was speechless, but his mind was clear.

The adoptive father pointed to the wooden box behind the small kang and made a "woo-woo" sound in his mouth.

I took the wooden box and pulled out a stack of upright embroidered cloth inside.

My adoptive father told me that when he picked me up, he was wrapped in this cloth, and next to him was a kneeling young man and woman, who had already breathed their last breath and had frozen expressions of horror on their faces.

My adoptive father adopted me and kept this piece of cloth that might contain my background.

When I turned out the cloth again, I had mixed feelings.

I can't guess what my adoptive father wants to tell me before he breathes, it may have something to do with this cloth, it has something to do with my background.

When I turned to the cloth again, I immediately saw the patterns embroidered on it, and from my point of view, these dark flowers, which originally looked like clouds and ripples, were more like rolling mountain peaks.

Is this a mountain? I chuckled inwardly.

Seeing that these patterns were rolling mountains, I instantly understood why there was such a sentence embroidered on top of this pattern:

"Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain".

The adoptive father was illiterate, so naturally he did not know the meaning of this sentence. It was also after I went to the fourth grade that I learned that this was a sentence from Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong".

When I saw the words "Helan Mountain", I was stunned, there is such a coincidence in the world? It's no coincidence that this cloth has been at home for at least sixteen years, but I haven't paid attention to the words and paintings on it before.

From this point of view, there seems to be a great relationship between the Yellow River - Guzhong - Helan Mountain - Guzhai - my life experience!

According to common sense, the words embroidered on the cloth wrapped around me are likely to be related to my life experience, so could my parents also be from Helan Mountain?

Look at this ancient poem again.

I Chen Xiaozhen has no culture, I don't understand the profound poetry and painting, in my understanding, this "Helan Mountain is lacking", does it mean that there is a gap in this Helan Mountain?

When I think about my background, I feel angry.

How many peers have I been bullied by since I was a child? How many village adults have you been ridiculed? Isn't it all because I'm an orphan?

They scolded me for being a "broom star" behind my back, and even made up a few years younger than me to make up a smooth "broom star, like a sheep, no father, no mother!" "Whenever this happens, I walk away with my head down.

Thinking of this, I can't wait to fly to Helan Mountain immediately, maybe the location marked on this map has something to do with my background?

As the saying goes, "the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels", I cleaned up next to each other and then went to Yanli's house.

Seeing that I was carrying two broken bags, Yanli showed a trace of doubt and panic on her face, and hurriedly asked me: "Xiaozhen, ...... are you?"

"Oh! I'm going to go on a long trip, maybe ten days or eight days to come back, maybe in a month and a half, I'll go to the bank to withdraw some money later, help you buy some things, during this time, you don't go out! ”

Yanli didn't understand my words too much, and asked me again: "You...... You're leaving the village? He grabbed my arm as he spoke.

I was a little depressed, but when I saw her nervous look, I suddenly felt very warm. I took her into my arms and warmed her up.

I was about to do something more when I heard someone shouting outside the gate:

"Xiao Zhen is back?"

When I heard it, it was Wang Jiliang's voice.

I hurriedly agreed and replied, "Uncle Wang, I'm back!" ”

So he hurried out.

"Xiao Zhen! Early this morning, Yang Guoshan called and said that Antique Li had gone to Ningxia and entrusted him to contact me to tell you. I'm still wondering...... Where is this old man going to tell you? ”

When I heard Wang Jiliang say this, I was also shocked, and said in my heart: This old guy is so impatient! Without saying a word, he actually ran to Ningxia first, did he hide anything from me?

The first thing that came to my mind was the Gutu, and looking at this scene, it was likely that he was hiding something from me.

Distracting thoughts flashed, but he hurriedly replied: "Uncle Wang! There are some things I haven't had time to tell you yet, but this time I went to Linxian, not only deciphering the ancient map, but also making a bigger discovery. I can't say a word or two about this, anyway, I have to go to Ningxia as soon as possible and find the third ancient bell. ”

Wang Jiliang said "oh oh" a few times, obviously not understanding, but he didn't ask again.

"That's right! Xiao Zhen, if you need help from our village, you have to say! You...... You can go to Ningxia alone? ”

Wang Jiliang asked me.

"I didn't think about that...... I haven't been out much yet, I originally wanted to go with Antique Li this time, who would have thought that this old man would go by himself!"

"So be it! You calculate it yourself, you need a few people, I'll help you find it! It's all for our old temple village! Wang Jiliang patted me on the shoulder and said.

I thought to myself: this time to Ningxia is a long way, I'm afraid I have to sneak around, money is more useful than people when I go out, and it's not good if there are more people - but if I'm alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with it.

I suddenly thought of Li Xiaobai, this guy is smart and clever enough, or let him accompany me!

After dinner, Wang Jiliang called me and Li Xiaobai to the office and told Li Xiaobai about it, and he was also very happy.

After going to the village branch, I smelled a fresh fragrance in the house.

No way! I saw Yanli wearing the light gauze dress I bought for her before, looking at me with affection.

I chuckled inwardly, and the heat spread from my chest to all parts of my body.
