Chapter 273: Dragon Hunt 2
Wen Yue handed the clothes to Xiaolan, and then muttered something in his mouth, what to say, Gu Xiangyang didn't hear it.
After calling Yemei over, Wen Yue had already drawn a lot of things on a piece of letterhead.
"Na, this is what I thought of last night, the constellation has its own running rules, and it is also the same as the weekly trajectory when cultivating, I checked it later, except for the South Pole Star and the North Star, it appears once every twenty-four hours, and the rest of the constellations appear regularly, ranging from a few months to a few decades." Wen Yue looked at Yemei after speaking.
Yemei thought for a long time before she spoke: "If you calculate in this direction, the heavenly stem will walk twenty-four steps, or twenty-four meters, or twenty-four ......miles, to the South Pole Star, that is, to the north, or it may be twenty-four miles."
"I'll go, whether it's twenty-four steps or twenty-four meters, isn't this all in the river? How can it be? Gu Xiangyang was the first to object.
"But is this a corollary? No one knows what those distances represent, and how can they do it without trying? Wen Yue said.
"If you can't find it, don't you keep looking for it? Maybe it's twenty-four days and twenty-four ......months to go north," Gu Xiangyang shook his head and said, in fact, he always felt that this inference was wrong, what was the difference between it and blind guessing?
After a while of silence in the room, Xiaolan spoke: "Now we don't have any other inferences, why don't we try it first, maybe we will be lucky enough to bump into it?" ”
Gu Xiangyang finally nodded and agreed to try it.
Standing by the river, there is no need to go into the water at all, Gu Xiangyang vetoed the inference of twenty-four steps and twenty-four meters, he has a divine eye, and at this distance, nothing under the river can escape his detection.
Aside from gravel and garbage, what's the clue below? Moreover, Gu Xiangyang also directly rejected the inference of two hundred and forty, two thousand four hundred, what kind of rice system did Ming Taizu come from in Huaxia at that time?
At that time, it was all inches, rulers, and feet, okay? However, according to the situation at that time, it was determined at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty that there could be no such accurate means of measurement. Then it must be the number of steps.
Subsequently, Xiaolan contacted Xiaomei and asked her to analyze and measure, and it didn't take long for Xiaolan to receive a picture from Xiaomei, a red line extending from the quarry rock to the north of the river, densely packed with small red dots, after magnification, the position of various steps was clearly marked on it.
Well, Gu Xiangyang can only take everyone across the river. But after tossing for two whole days and one night, I still didn't find anything.
Back at the hotel, Gu Xiangyang let everyone rest, he was tired this time, no way, there were too many inferences related to Twenty-four, and the divine eyes kept opening a wide range of exploration. Cover your head and sleep well, take a shower or something, and wait until you wake up.
Over the next few days, several people continued to think about the pattern, but nothing was found, and everyone's mood and enthusiasm began to decline.
That night, on the way back to the hotel, Gu Xiangyang looked up at the sky and asked Yemei beside him softly: "I said Yemei, I always feel strange, I have seen this North Star, but I really don't know what this South Pole Star is, can you point it to me?" ”
"Oh, look here, this very faint dark red star is the South Pole Star." Yemei pointed to a place in the sky and said, "Actually, the South Pole Star is a red giant star on the tail of Scorpio now, and people with bad eyes can't see it." ”
When Gu Xiangyang heard this, he gathered his eyes to look carefully, only to see a faint dark red star hanging in the sky.
Looking at it, Gu Xiangyang suddenly stopped, patted his head and said, "Go back quickly!" I think I know the answer! ”
"Really? It can't be whimsical again, right? Wen Yue doubted that this sentence was her conjecture at the beginning, and after it was proved wrong, Gu Xiangyang's original words.
"If you don't believe it, don't follow, you can go back to the hotel and stay alone." After Gu Xiangyang finished speaking, he turned around and ran back.
A few people around me, except for Wen Yue, followed me, especially Xiaolan and Rowling who were giggling and laughing along the way.
Wen Yue gritted her teeth, but still raised her heel, so many goblins were by Gu Xiangyang's side, she was not at ease.
Gu Xiangyang ran to the rock, looked at the position of the South Pole Star in the sky, then turned to the north, turned his head slightly, and a magical scene appeared.
I saw that the marginal line of the rock coincided with the position of the South Pole Star in the sky.
There is a depression at the top of the rock, and from where you can see it, you can see the outline of a building.
This is the Bell and Drum Tower of the Purple City!
"Let's go! Hurry up and let's go to the next goal! Gu Xiangyang was excited now, the clues he had been looking for for many days had finally been discovered, and his intuition told him that this time it must be right!
On the way, Gu Xiangyang told several people about his inference and the discovery process.
This statement makes the big guy feel like they are suddenly open.
It's just that so far, this is still a speculation, and only when the next picture is found can we be conclusive.
The Zijin Bell and Drum Tower is also an ancient building left in the Ming Dynasty. However, it was burned during the invasion of the Foot Basin Kingdom, leaving only the stone foundation, and the rest of the upper wooden structure was reproduced by later generations according to the original drawings.
Gu Xiangyang was a little worried, and he didn't know if the next picture was still there.
Fortunately, although it is a historic site, it is not classified as a park or anything like that, and it is easy to get under the bell and drum tower.
The crowd scattered and began to look for it in the vicinity.
And Gu Xiangyang is standing under the drum tower to open the Divine Eye, you must know that it is night, although it is clear to rely on the light, it is easy to miss some things, and it is convenient to open the Divine Eye.
After going around the bell and drum tower, Gu Xiangyang smiled at the corner of his mouth, the second picture was found!
Now it can be proved that Gu Xiangyang's judgment is completely accurate, so after Gu Xiangyang stood in a good position and asked the direction of the constellation, the patterns were found one by one.
When the morning sun rises, what Gu Xiangyang sees is the palace of the Purple City.
"I'm going, I'm in the palace after such a big circle." Gu Xiangyang scolded.
The mind of this ancient man is strange, you say it's okay to leave a treasure map, but can't you make it more mysterious? Isn't it interesting to take people around here in circles at night?
It's just that what Gu Xiangyang didn't know was that these places were originally forbidden places in the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, and they were heavily guarded everywhere. Ordinary people will be caught even if they stay nearby, let alone go in.
Most of the old site of the Purple Palace has been destroyed, and now there is only one-twelfth of the tenths left.
This brought trouble to Gu Xiangyang's search, and the last pattern actually referred to a modern high-rise building.
Gu Xiangyang's heart was full of 10,000 divine beasts, and he couldn't stop for a long time, do you say that this means that he is going to demolish this building?
Although I said hello to Xia Zheng before leaving, my movements may be a bit big, but it can't be so big?
Seeing that Gu Xiangyang was frowning and anxious, Xiaolan said on the side: "Honey, I'll go buy this building and blow it up!" ”
Gu Xiangyang felt a thrill in his heart when he heard this, this aunt can do what she says. If she was allowed to do this, although it would only cost some money, it would definitely not be necessary.
So he hurriedly persuaded: "Xiaolan, I'm not sure if it's here, if it's really here, let's demolish it again, okay?" ”
"Uh-huh, it's all up to you." Xiaolan nodded yes.
But soon there were a few disdainful snorts behind him, it seems that no matter how good Xiaolan is, she is still hated in some things.
After finding a restaurant nearby for breakfast, Gu Xiangyang turned out the contact information of an expert from the Zijin Cultural Relics Bureau that Xia Zheng had given, and made a phone call.
As soon as the other party heard that it was Xia Zheng who asked Gu Xiangyang to contact him, he immediately agreed to the request to meet.
The meeting took place in the office of the expert, surnamed Huang.
This time, Gu Xiangyang only brought Ye Mei and Gu Zhitong inside, while the others waited in a nearby café.
For now, Yemei's stargazing and Gu Zhitong's identity as a guard are still of some help to Gu Xiangyang, and the others ...... Gu Xiangyang didn't bother to care, so he took them out to relax.
When Gu Xiangyang saw the expert surnamed Huang, they exchanged pleasantries, and then said straight to the point that they needed to check the map of the Ming Dynasty in Zijin Province.
This can make this Huang expert confused, Gu Xiangyang, a well-known archaeological expert, didn't talk to him about archaeology or anything like that, and he wanted a map of the Ming Dynasty of Zijin City as soon as he came up.
With a pouting and pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he nodded yes, got up and led the three of them to the warehouse. Gu Xiangyang's current status in the archaeological community is about to catch up with Xia Zheng, not to mention the Nine Dragons Cup and Emperor Crown he donated, which are the cultural relics that he just donated, but it is equivalent to doubling the existing top literature treasures in China.
In the warehouse of the Zijin Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, Expert Huang took out a wooden box, and after opening it, there was a picture scroll.
The scroll unfolds, and the yellowed paper exudes a quaint atmosphere, and the lines outline the prosperity of the time.
Gu Xiangyang's divine eyes swept away, and he had already seen all the contents.
To his consternation, this picture turned out to be from Liu Bowen, which is by no means in line with common sense. This picture must be hiding a secret.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiangyang couldn't help but look carefully again.
"Huh? Master, this picture is very different from what I remember. Gu Zhitong said suddenly.
"Oh? What's the difference, you can tell me. Gu Xiangyang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked Gu Zhitong to continue.
"I remember that when Chongzhen was three years old, I was ordered to come to Zijin on business, and I entered the north gate of the palace at that time, but there was no door on this picture, and this should be the imperial road, here is the proposed room, and there are also Wenyuan Pavilion, Lantern Library, and Jingshi Room......" As Gu Zhitong's fingers went one by one, these tracks converged into a curved line.
"These buildings were built when my grandfather was great, and there will never be any omissions. This picture...... It's fake, right? Gu Zhitong's finger stopped in the open space in front of the main hall and said.
