Chapter 120: The Big Dipper
The prince thought silently for a long time, pondered it repeatedly, and said calmly, since the first sentence refers to the Big Dipper, this star will not change, and it will always hang in the sky, at best, it should only be used to indicate the direction, and the key to the secret of Yingzheng's rebirth should be in the second sentence.
Qinglong Panshi counts a few stars.
According to Gu Anqi's interpretation of this sentence, it should refer to the stone carvings left by Yingzheng on Mount Tai, and the prince looked at us and said seriously.
"Is it possible that the secret is hidden in the words carved in the stone."
"Li Si's small seal is unique, the glyph is neat and slender, the strokes are round and strong, I have been to Mount Tai more than once to see the stone carving, the small seal on it is elegant and beautiful, such as the fairy in the wind and the demeanor of all directions, and the words on the pattern you take back are exactly the same, so I am very sure that the text on this bamboo slip is definitely from the hand of Li Si." Xiao Lianshan shook his head and said to us regretfully. "If the secret is hidden in the stone carvings of Mount Tai, it will never be possible to know the way to the rebirth of Yingzheng."
"Ah......" Gu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise. Why? ”
"I have accompanied Lianshan to Mount Tai many times, Ying Zheng stayed in Mount Tai carved stone is indeed from the hand of Li Si, carved stone was originally on the top of Mount Tai next to the Jade Girl Pond, and later suffered a fire carved stone burned." Gu Anqi said regretfully beside him.
"Later, although the carved stone was found, it has been broken into two carved stones, and the original text has gone through vicissitudes, and now only the cross remains." Xiao Lianshan nodded and sighed to tell us. "Among the remaining ten words, the minister went to the minister to invite the minister, these seven characters are complete, Si is dead, and the three words are incomplete."
"Since Li Si's small seal is the best in the world, even if the original text is destroyed, has it not been rubbed in future generations?" Yun Duruo asked.
"It should have nothing to do with the content of the stone carvings." I walked back from the window and said with certainty. "The bamboo slips handed over to us by Ying Zheng have the secret of his rebirth, and the stakes are very high, presumably Ying Zheng will not be lazy, and it is handed over to us because Wen Zhuo and I have the ability to protect it, and the pattern on my shoulder has been blurred and hidden before I broke through the glass exquisite tower, which shows how important this secret is in Ying Zheng's heart, and he will never leave the clues on the words carved in the stone."
"I think so, Ying Zheng's heroic talent and strategy would not have thought that with the change of time, the vicissitudes of life will change, and if the stone carvings are destroyed, the clues will be broken." Wen Zhuo nodded and said.
"Since it has nothing to do with stone carvings, why is the carved stone of Mount Tai mentioned in the second sentence?" Gu Anqi was also puzzled and muttered to herself.
"I've always been dull, and I'm not as knowledgeable as you." Xiao Lianshan looked at Gu Anqi and said with a smile. "I don't think there are as many sentences as you think, but it's the same as what Wen Zhuo thought before."
"What do you think?" Gu Anqi smiled back and asked softly.
"Emperor Luan patrol shocked yin and yang, Wen Zhuo deduced that this sentence is an allusion to the Big Dipper, but if it is understood literally, it can actually be said that Yingzheng swept the Liuhe world and unified, and few people know that Mount Tai cut the sky and sealed the nine heavens gods, it has been recorded in the historical documents, Qin Shi Huang began to inspect the world in the third year of the unification of the world, that is, the twenty-ninth year of the first emperor, and it also started from the east, known as the Qin Emperor's eastern tour." Xiao Lianshan slowly picked up the pattern on the table and said. "This also fits perfectly with the first sentence."
"Even if you understand the meaning of the first sentence in this way, it still has no connection with the second sentence?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Lianshan and said anxiously. "The stone carvings of Mount Tai have been destroyed, since they have nothing to do with the words above, what is the meaning of the second sentence?"
"If the first sentence really refers to Yingzheng's eastern tour, then the second sentence is not as simple as saying the stone carvings left by Li Si on Mount Tai." Xiao Lianshan replied unhurriedly.
"Does the second sentence have any other meaning?" The prince asked calmly.
"You should know, I used to take you there when you were a child, do you remember?" Xiao Lianshan looked up at me and asked seriously.
I thought about it, when I was a child, Xiao Lianshan often took me and Xiaoxiao to travel through the mountains and rivers because he was fascinated by the cultural relics of the Qin Dynasty.
"At that time, you told me that Yingzheng was on the eastern tour to show his great achievements, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"I have indeed seen Li Si, he is the minister of Yingzheng's humerus, and he governs the country with the law, and the loyalty of the monarch is engraved in his bones, if Yingzheng has someone he can trust in addition to you and Wen Zhuo, I think it will definitely be Li Si." Xiao Lianshan nodded and said meaningfully. "Presumably, this clue was also left by Li Si, and the deliberate mention of the stone carving of Mount Tai should be to throw bricks and lead jade, and the real reference is not the carved stone on Mount Tai."
"Are there still several stone carvings in Lis?" Yun Duruo asked suspiciously.
"There are six of them!" I nodded, and I have been by Xiao Lianshan's side since I was a child, and I have long known what I have heard and seen. "They are Yishan carved stone, Taishan carved stone, Langya Tai carved stone, Zhifu carved stone, Jieshi carved stone and Huiji carved stone."
"That's strange, since the secret of rebirth can't be in the text of the carved stone, what is the purpose of Li Si leaving clues pointing to these six carved stones?" Gu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and muttered to herself in confusion.
"Six carved stone ......" I repeated Gu Xiaoxiao's words in my mouth, and suddenly turned around and asked Xiao Lianshan. Do you have a map of the territory of the Qin Dynasty here? ”
Xiao Lianshan nodded and asked Gu Anqi to fetch the map for me, I hurriedly spread it on the table, picked up the pen and marked it according to the place where Li Si left the stone carving, and six completely disconnected points appeared on the map.
Xiao Lianshan frowned, took the pen from my hand, and thought about drawing a zigzag line on the map, just connecting the six dots together.
"What do you mean by this line?" Gu Xiaoxiao asked.
"It's the route of Yingzheng's eastern tour." Xiao Lianshan replied unhurriedly.
I stood and stared for a moment, my mouth slowly opened, I picked up the map from the table, walked to the window, pondered for a long time, and suddenly turned my head to look at the Big Dipper outside the window.
The Big Dipper is composed of seven bright stars, arranged in the north sky into a bucket shape, the Big Dipper from the mouth of the bucket to the dipper line order is, the first day pivot, the second spin, the third Ji, the fourth right, the fifth balance, the sixth open sun, the seventh shake light, the first to the fourth for the kui, the fifth to the seventh for the standard, combined for the bucket.
My eyes repeatedly wandered between the map in my hand and the Big Dipper clearly visible in the night sky, and then slowly raised my hand and put the map in front of the window, the others did not understand the meaning of my move, and when they gathered around me, they were all shocked to see that the Big Dipper loomed behind the map, and the shining starlight reflected in the map more clearly.
I suddenly realized something, and slowly turned the map in my hand, and when I stopped, we were stunned and stunned, and everyone was speechless in shock, quietly staring at the map in my hand held up in front of the window.
The bright Big Dipper in the sky completely coincides with the location of the six stone carvings on the map, and the six stone carvings left by Li Si are actually laid out according to the shape of the Big Dipper.
"There are seven Nakshatras in the Big Dipper." Yun Duruo raised his hand and pointed to the map and said in surprise. "But why are there only six stone carvings on the map, although they coincide with the Big Dipper, but there seems to be one missing stone carving here."
We looked at the place that Yun Duruo was pointing to, and the six stone carvings were completely consistent with the position of the Big Dipper, but there was one missing as Yun Duruo said, and the starlight was particularly eye-catching in the blank space.
"According to the orientation of the Big Dipper in these six stone carvings, the missing one should be the most dazzling Yuheng Star in the Big Dipper......" Wen Zhuo was suddenly stunned when he said this, and then opened his mouth and said happily. Count the stars...... We haven't figured out what the meaning of the last three words is, the Big Dipper should be seven, if the stone carvings left by Li Si are according to the layout of the Big Dipper, then there should be seven places, but Li Si only left six ......"
"I see!" When I heard Zhuo say this, I suddenly realized. "Counting the stars means that there are only six stone carvings left by Li Si according to the layout of the Big Dipper, which is to let us compare the star map of the Big Dipper and count the position of the missing star on the map."
Xiao Lianshan looked at me happily and nodded slowly, and said seriously.
"The location on the map where the missing star corresponds is where the Twelve Golden Men are hidden."
The spontaneous joy filled each of our faces, but it quickly dissipated from my eyes, I frowned and looked at the map held high in my hand, the brightest of the Big Dipper's Yuheng starlight projected on the map was particularly eye-catching, but the location illuminated by the starlight was too large and covered too many places.
"Although we have found the place, it is too easy to hide the twelve golden people in such a vast place, and we don't know where to start to find it?" Gu Xiaoxiao should have also discovered my doubts.
The prince lowered his head a little and looked at the map area illuminated by the starlight, and quickly recognized it.
"This is the place where Chongqing and Hubei meet, and it is very important for Ying Zheng to hide the secret of rebirth among the twelve golden people, and he must not choose a random place to hide, there must be a reason for choosing here."
"The place where Chongqing and Hubei meet......" Wen Zhuo raised his head and thought carefully for a long time, and I saw his brows slowly stretched. I should know where the Twelve Golden Men are hiding. ”
"Where?" We asked in unison.
"There is a mountain range in this place, called the Wushan Mountain Range." Wen Zhuo let out a long sigh of relief and replied in the affirmative. "And the most famous of this mountain range is the twelve peaks of Wushan, and the pictures and texts on the bamboo slips also imply that the twelve golden people are hiding in the mountains, if you guess correctly, the twelve golden people should be hidden in the twelve peaks of Wushan."
