Tang Qianlin came to a big tree according to the position of the coordinates, led by a night patrol policeman.

"Is this it?" Qian Sinian looked at the big tree, "This is an elm tree, right?" ”

Before Tang Qianlin could answer, the policeman said, "Director Qian, this is the most famous ancient elm tree in Jijia Village. ”

Tang Qianlin asked: "What does it mean to be most famous?" ”

The policeman explained: "Consultant Tang, you must know what 'Ji' means? ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It means to take the water from the well." ”

The policeman said: "That's right, the reason why this Jijia village got its name is because there used to be a well here, and it was a natural well, which gushed spring water all the year round, continuously, and the strange thing is that no matter how the well was drilled around, there was only that one, and later some people said that it was a spring given by the king of the earth." ”

Qian Sinian interrupted the policeman: "To get to the point, we are very short on time. ”

The policeman said: "Later, because of the conflict that broke out in this well, there was a shortage of water that year, and the people around came to shoot the well water, so there were many casualties, and finally a master came and ignited the people here, saying that as long as the well was sealed with wood, the spring veins would be dispersed, and the well water could be pumped out around, because the king dragon needed wood to suppress it." ”

Tang Qianlin frowned: "What a mess, you want to tell us, under this elm tree, there is the original well, right?" ”

The policeman nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, that's it, that master, took a bag of seeds and threw it into the well, and overnight, this sacred tree grew, although the sacred tree covered the well, but the people here can finally dig wells and get water in the surrounding places." ”

Shoichi Tada, who had been listening to the side, couldn't help but smile: "Mythological story...... Consultant Tang, what do you decide to do? ”

Tang Qianlin squatted in front of the huge elm tree, picked up a shovel and dug down for a while, and after digging about twenty centimeters, he found that the soil had become extremely wet, and it stands to reason that this season, twenty centimeters of soil should not be so wet.

Tang Qianlin got up and said to Qian Sinian: "Call someone to dig." ”

Tada Shoichi frowned: "Dig again?" Advisor Tang, can you tell me what we're looking for? ”

Tang Qianlin said lightly: "I can't answer you, if you want to know, you can ask Mr. Miyake." ”

Tada Zheng smiled and said, "Advisor Tang, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Tang Qianlin hesitated, and saw that Qian Sinian was still digging deep, so he walked to the side with Tada Zhengyi.

Tada Shoichi stood still and said, "Consultant Tang, we have been paying attention to you for a long time, and we also know what you are looking for, paper can't contain fire." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I'm just doing something for Mr. Miyake." ”

Tada Masakachi: "Was it willing, or was it forced?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "You should ask him." ”

Tang Qianlin said that he was leaving, but Tada Zhengyi stopped him: "Let's make a condition." ”

Tang Qianlin stopped: "What do you mean?" ”

Tada Masachi: "The War Department has a secret search section, and we can also set up the same department in the Admiralty, and we can give you whatever Kyoji Miyake can give." ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "We are not people of the same world, you can't understand what I'm talking about, that's why you will make conditions to me, don't impose your internal contradictions on me." ”

Tada Shoichi didn't say anything anymore, if this was Japanese soil, he might be able to run rampant, but now the entire Northeast is under the control of the Kwantung Army, coupled with the previous attack on the Admiralty by Kyoji Miyake, which led to the collapse of the Navy's power in the Northeast, and most of their researchers were controlled by the Army, so he couldn't straighten his waist at all.

Twenty agents of the Security Bureau divided into two teams, a team of ten, dug around the big elm tree, and when it was almost dawn, they finally dug a circular tunnel around the elm tree, and in the center of the tunnel, that is, at the base of the big tree, there was a strange stone pillar.

The whole elm tree was wrapped around the stone pillar at its roots, and it was very damp, and there was a lot of water slowly seeping out of some of the cracks on the surface of the stone pillar.

Tang Qianlin stood in front of the stone pillar and said, "Maybe there is really a well down here." ”

Qian Sinian frowned: "Will it be so magical?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "The so-called folklore is exaggerated from some trivial things, it is true that there should be a spring below, and you see that this so-called stone pillar is obviously built with broken stone, and this method of stacking is very ancient, at least hundreds of years." ”

Qian Sinian asked, "What now?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I'll take a closer look, either I will continue to dig down, or I can only smash open this stone pillar to see what is inside." ”

The sky finally brightened, and the moment the sunlight hit the pit, Tang Qianlin found that there were many strange patterns on the stones that were piled up into stone pillars. At the same time, the villagers gradually woke up and wanted to gather around to watch, but they were driven back to the house by the fierce Japanese soldiers with guns.

Tang Qianlin heard the commotion outside, immediately climbed out of the pit, and walked straight to Tada Shoichi: "Listen, don't hurt the people here, otherwise, whatever I find, it will be destroyed on the spot!" ”

Tada Masakachi: "Is this a condition?" ”

Tang Qianlin didn't respond, just turned around and jumped back into the pit, carefully studying the patterns on the stones.

While looking at the pattern, Tang Qianlin whispered to Qian Sinian: "I'm worried that the tragedy in Zhengjia Village under the mountain will happen again, and this group of dog-day devils will do everything." ”

Qian Sinian replied in a low voice: "Jijia Village is not far from the city of Harbin, and the Japanese have to take care of what they want to do. ”

After Tang Qianlin said "um", he raised his hand and slowly took out a stone from the stone pillar, held it in his hand and looked at it through the sun, and after taking out the stone, water immediately gushed out from inside.

Tang Qianlin immediately got out of the way, the water gushed for a while and then slowly weakened, Tang Qianlin instructed Qian Sinian: "Call two more people who are a little more skillful to come and slowly take the stones off the stone pillars, and then take them and put them on them." ”

Qian Sinian immediately summoned two attentive spies and cooperated with him and Tang Qianlin to take the stones.

Time passed minute by minute, Tang Qianlin finally found that the stone pillar was hollow, just like a well wall piled up with stones, take a circle of stones, and the water in it would flow out, but the strange thing is that although the amount of water flowing out was very large, it did not accumulate in the pit, but directly seeped into the soil below.

At last, all the stones were taken out and placed in the order they were taken in the open space next to the pit.

Tada Zhengyi stood there, looking at those stones, unable to understand what Tang Qianlin was going to do.

Tang Qianlin was also confused when he stood there: "It seems that these stones need to be rearranged, but how to arrange them?" ”

Qian Sinian sighed: "You don't understand this expert, where can we know." ”

Tang Qianlin thought about it, took out his star map, and analyzed it against those stones.

This is the location of one of the five evil stars, so it must have some connection with the star chart.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Qianlin found that there was a portrait of a star on a certain stone, corresponding to the star map, he drew the star map in his hand in the open space next to him, and after drawing the position of the five evil stars, he began to select stones from the pile of stones and put them back together.

"Puzzles?" Shoichi Tada stood next to him and said, "It's kind of interesting." ”

Tang Qianlin had been squatting there sweating profusely, fighting until ten noon, and finally put those stones into a circle according to the position of the star map.

Tang Qianlin took a few steps back, turned around and climbed the elm tree, stood on the tree and looked down carefully, and then said to himself, "It's an astronomical map." ”

After discovering that it was an astronomical map, Tang Qianlin looked directly at the stone where the heart was located in the astronomical map, and the irregular stone immediately matched the groove on the south wall of the dark room in his eyes.

That's the key! Tang Qianlin stood there and thought for a while, how to directly replace that thing in front of everyone's eyes?

Tang Qianlin felt for the piece of jade in his pocket, it was an ice jade, and it was also a priceless treasure collected by Yi Mochen, the value was no lower than the night pearl he took out before, and now he had to find a way to replace the irregular stone that represented the position of the heart with this piece of jade.

I can only make up a story and change a trick. The moment Tang Qianlin jumped off the tree, he landed and deliberately squatted down, found some fragile sand and gravel on the ground and put it in his pocket, grabbed a large piece of sand and gravel at the same time, and then slowly walked around the circular astronomical map on the ground with his hand in his pocket: "This is an astronomical map, originally it should be a dome, from the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period, this kind of astronomical map murals are usually drawn on the top of the tomb, drawing the stars, the sun, moon and the galaxy, transforming the dome into a brilliant starry sky, but most of them are done very hastily, What we see in front of us is already very exquisite. ”

When Tang Qianlin spoke, he slowly crushed the sand and gravel in his pocket, and then pulled his hand out and continued: "This kind of astronomical map is also called a celestial map, or a star map, using a traditional symbolic system to show the structure of the universe, and the most amazing thing is that this map actually contains a complete zodiacal chart, and at the same time combines the different understandings of the Chinese world of heaven and the universe. ”

When Tada heard this, he looked carefully: "The zodiac signs? ”

Tang Qianlin said: "That's right, the whole composition is divided into three rings by two concentric circles, the innermost circle is a huge lotus, because of the long time, it has faded, according to the color left, it should be a colorful lotus, because the lotus originally had five colors, respectively, white, green, red, purple, yellow, also called five kinds of Tianhua, in religion, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, it is a symbol of dignity and sacredness. ”

Tada asked, "What does the second lap represent?" ”

Tang Qianlin explained: "The second circle is three groups of astronomical and cosmic symbols, in turn in the surrounding twelve small circles to draw the zodiac, the stars with a straight line to connect China's twenty-eight constellations and the east and west confrontation of the sun and the moon, pay attention to the following, there are twelve male people, wearing Hanfu, should symbolize the twelve earthly branches, this drawing method should be the Western Han Dynasty astronomical map tradition, but I don't know the specific time when the zodiac signs were introduced to China, but at least it should be before the birth of this dome." ”

Qian Sinian gave Tang Qianlin a look, meaning to ask him, what is what we need?

At the same time, Shoichi Tada asked, "So what exactly are we looking for?" ”
