Chapter 30: The Return of the Uncle
As soon as I approached the stone gate, I heard the sound of a fight coming from inside the stone gate, and I couldn't help but be shocked, that Yang Kai was in the cave we had entered before, if Yang Kai was fighting with someone right now, wouldn't it be the one who fought with him, or the one who followed behind Yang Kai.
When we entered, Yang Kai was slightly stunned, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, he stepped aside, and sneered at us: "I came here with the map left by my ancestors, and you followed so quickly unharmed, could it be that he left a mark for you", as he spoke, Yang Kai showed a trace of anger on his face, and pointed his big finger at the man standing on the side.
I saw that the man was ugly, his face was hairy, and he was wearing a mink robe that showed the local "indigenous" characteristics. "Who could this man be? It seems that this man had blended into the local crowd before, but Yang Kai, as the Great Commander, didn't notice it, "I thought like this, and looked at the man, and the more I looked closely, the more I felt a sense of familiarity.
Master Chuan! The monkey shouted. This was followed by several loud laughs:
Ha! Ha! Ha!
The man took out a small bottle, poured the yellow liquid from the bottle into his hand, and smeared it on his neck.
Something surprising began to happen.
The man who was standing quietly on the side saw that the skin on his neck began to appear a cut, slowly overflowing a layer. The man's big hand tore it off, and his face changed suddenly.
Uncle!
I was surprised, I didn't expect that my uncle, who I hadn't seen for many days, would appear in my present at this moment, and I couldn't talk about it for a while, and to my surprise, the monkey was the first to recognize my uncle.
The current situation is very clear, the strength of the five of us is far greater than Yang Kai, if it weren't for the poison we have taken, we would have done something to Yang Kai a long time ago. At this moment, there is a problem in front of us, and invisibly, each of us has no intention of doing it.
In front of us, there is also a stone gate. Unlike what I have seen before, this stone gate is a little more peculiar in design.
In the middle of the stone door there is a disc, dark gray, with silver patterns engraved on it, irregular, densely packed, almost occupying the entire disc.
The other side. On both sides of the stone gate, there are four large characters engraved:
Life is the will, and death is nothing.
If you look closely, you can find that among these eight words, there are three words with different shades. "Zhi", "what is", the three big characters should appear a little deeper. "It's going to be deliberately designed like this, or is it just a coincidence," I guessed for a long time, but I couldn't find a breakthrough.
Standing in front of the stone gate, I first stepped aside, while my uncle and Zhang Yu observed carefully. The fatty, Yang Kai, and monkey didn't step forward at first, and the three of them stared at each other, and they had the potential to fight at any time.
I sat quietly on the ground, looking at my uncle, and I always felt that something was wrong in my heart, as if my uncle showed it too suddenly, so that my whole nerves had not eased up.
Hey!
With the uncle's suspicious voice, a few of us hurriedly got up, only to see the uncle's eyes staring at the disc in the center of the stone gate, and at some point there was an extra magnifying glass in his hand. My uncle frowned, threw me the magnifying glass, and paced up and down the hole, glancing at the disc on the stone door from time to time.
I picked up the magnifying glass and tried to look through it to the disk, and was surprised to see that there was a circular groove around the edge of the disk. Because the disc itself is dark gray, and the grooves are too small, they are the same color as the disc, so they are really not visible to the naked eye.
Inside the grooves are gray beads, and that's the problem. The beads are close together, circumferentially around their grooves. But in the process, there was a notch, just big enough for a bead, and a white thread was stuffed in it, and the question now was how to get the white thread out of the groove.
After thinking about it, I couldn't figure it out, and I couldn't help but look at my uncle behind me.
The old man who smoked violently suddenly stepped on the cigarette butt to the ground, and the whole person quickly walked over, and his eyes motioned for us to get out of the way.
I stepped aside, only to see my uncle's eyes sweeping over several of us, and then he said, "Who of you still has water on you?"
Before I could speak, the monkey had already handed me the water. The old man took the water, opened the cap of the bottle and poured it into the groove, then put his mouth on it and sucked it violently.
It didn't take long for a slender white rope to stick to the old uncle's mouth and come out together. I pulled up the rope, only to realize that the rope was not made of ordinary materials, it seemed to be a "silver wire", and my hand felt very scratched, and I pulled harder, and my hand was strangled very painfully.
The rope was pulled outward, and the beads inside the disc also rotated, and then went deep into the stone door. We only heard the sound of "popping" from inside the stone gate, as if something had been touched, and we hurriedly retreated, keeping a distance from the stone gate.
The disc gradually recessed, and then a square plank protruded. On the top of the wooden board is a long strip of large paper, and the paper has dense stripes, like rubbings of different characters. Because at different times and from different angles, you will see a different word on the paper.
The whole board is divided into six pieces, which clearly indicates that the person who designed this object wants me to write six words. If we write a character with strokes that match the rubbing on the wooden board behind the paper, then the stone door is likely to be opened.
The question becomes simple and straightforward. Write six words on the board, provided that they coincide with the rubbing of the board. The only information we have now is the eight characters on both sides of the stone gate, plus the different shallowness of the previous handwriting, there must be a lot of connection between the two.
Life is the will, and death is nothing! I read it carefully in my mouth, and I thought of the picture of Li Zicheng being trapped in the past after being jointly attacked by Wu Sangui and the Qing soldiers.
As the leader of a peasant army, he overthrew the decaying Ming Dynasty and then established a political power, so to speak, how can everything in the world win! People like Li Zicheng are born and talented, and they seem to be ghosts. But the situation at that time must have been very unoptimistic, the defeat was like a mountain, the Qing army entered the customs in a big way, the Ming generals surrendered one after another, and the former subordinates rebelled. If so, according to the different scars and shallowness of the above scars, the eight characters are rewritten into six characters, or what?
The fog was thick in front of me, and I felt like it was about to be blown away by a gust of wind. I couldn't help but start to get tangled in my heart again.
The old man didn't know when he started to move, and he raised his finger to the paper and began to scratch it. The first character is a new word, followed by the word "what is". The first three words have been written, and there is no movement on the paper.
The last three words are written much faster, "Death and Ambition", if connected, it is "What is life, and what is Death". If this is the case, it is also in line with Li Zicheng and the situation at that time.
After the six characters were written, the stone gate was silent at first, and then shook violently, and then slowly moved upward, and a golden light suddenly shone out from it, Yang Kai laughed and said: "Found it, found it", like a hungry wolf, rushed away.
