Chapter Twenty-Six: Secret Words
This cipher diagram, after being translated, is not a text description, but a secret code word, and what Zhang Tangrui told us is his analysis of the code language.
This code word is not long, there are only twelve words in total: Qingmengdi, Huanglong's chest, five claw bones, and bone back to the dragon.
This is actually a Tibetan code language, which is originally very obscure, so when translated into Chinese, it makes people feel even more ambiguous, not to mention rhyme, and even the basic signs cannot be seen.
Because the amount of information covered by the password is not large, in fact, three days ago, Zhang Tangrui and others had already deciphered the password, but the reason why they did not notify us was because they felt that this translated text was too obscure, without a beginning or end, and it was difficult for people to figure it out.
I asked, "Then are you looking for me now, do you want to find out what you mean, or do you want to ask me for ideas?" ”
Zhang Tangrui smiled: "Of course, I have some eyebrows, so I came to you to discuss." Then he spoke about his understanding of the codeword.
First of all, there is Qingmengdi.
The land obviously refers to a place, and the key to the place lies in the word Qingmeng. These two words are the most difficult, Zhang Tangrui put a lot of effort into checking the information, but the hard work paid off, allowing him to draw some clues.
He believes that Mongolia should refer to the Inner Mongolia area, and Qing, about a hint, Inner Mongolia is the largest natural grassland in China, and at a glance is the endless prairie.
And with Inner Mongolia as a reference, the latter sentence of Huanglong's chest is easier to understand.
The Yellow River is the mother river of our Chinese civilization, and it is also known as a 'yellow dragon' lying across the land of China.
This Yellow Dragon, flowing out of Qinghai, passing through Sichuan, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong nine provinces, and the geographical environment of Inner Mongolia is just in the part of the dragon's chest, therefore, Zhang Tangrui believes that this refers to the Yellow River Basin that passes through Inner Mongolia.
As for the meaning of the five claw bones and bone huilong in the back, it is difficult to start.
After Zhang Tangrui finished speaking, he asked me what I thought.
In fact, I have a lot of opinions, one of which is that this is just an unclear code word, what does this code word mean? Is it a place? Or is it in this place, with something in it?
We can't rebel at all, or maybe it's just a joke made by the ancestors of the Zhang family, maybe he thinks that the scenery of Inner Mongolia is good, so record it and let future generations not forget to travel there, just a code word, it doesn't mean anything at all.
Second, we don't understand the second half of the code at all, Inner Mongolia is a relatively large province, full of grasslands and deserts, and borders Outer Mongolia, and the environment is actually changeable.
People who have never been to Inner Mongolia will mostly let it be just a prairie, and in fact, due to the environment, the terrain of Inner Mongolia is very complicated, especially the outward section, the section bordering Outer Mongolia, and a stretch of mountains, like a dividing line, due to the awkward location, there are few cattle and sheep, so the grass is lush and the beasts are hidden, which is very dangerous.
The Yellow River flowing through Inner Mongolia is like an arc through Inner Mongolia, which covers a very large range and has no specific coordinate points.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if I am willing to spend a few months measuring the Yellow River, but what is the point of us going to this place?
Originally, I got this thing because the stuffy oil bottle paid special attention to it, maybe I can know where the stuffy oil bottle will go next through it, and now it is indeed deciphered, I believe that for the stuffy oil bottle, it is not difficult to decipher this codeword, so, he is very much looking for his memory, and he has also been to the place recorded in the code.
And now that two years have passed, the stuffy oil bottle must be long gone, and if we want to find him, we will have to follow the path he once walked. But when we get to the Yellow River, where do we start?
The world is so vast, is it possible to shout the name of the stuffy oil bottle while walking?
I told Zhang Tangrui about my concerns, and said: "The information on this is very important, but since we want to find it, we must have a certain degree of certainty, now this clue is too slim, perhaps, unraveling the last two code words, things will be much easier." ”
Zhang Tangrui frowned and said, "What do you think?" ”
Takami? I looked at those six words, and I really couldn't think of any high ideas for a while.
Jin Jing sighed and said, "It would be great if the patriarch could show up by himself, as long as he returns to the clan and sees everything he is familiar with, he will remember everything, why bother so much to find memories." ”
I shook my head secretly, and said in my heart, it's a pity that you guys came two years late, and if you had arrived two years earlier, maybe the stuffy oil bottle wouldn't have needed to travel through mountains and rivers to prove those memories.
The young man who looked like a stuffy oil bottle said: "Boss Wu is right, it seems that we still need to study this code word carefully." ”
Jin Jing said: "Heshui, don't just say, do you have any ideas?" ”
River water?
This name is quite strange, I couldn't help but glance at the young man more, and it just so happened that Jinjing caught my sight and said with a smile: "Does Boss Wu think his name is funny?" ”
The fat man said: "It's not just funny, it's just amazing, why don't you just call it seawater?" This is domineering. ”
Zhang Heshui smiled and said: "We are arranged according to generations, starting from my generation, it is the river, the sea, the river, and the stream, and my son can call it the sea." ”
The fat man choked for a while, and felt that Zhang Heshui had an appetite for him, probably because he thought that this kid's face that looked like a stuffy oil bottle was joking with him, which was a relatively new thing, and immediately chatted with Zhang Heshui, but although Zhang Heshui was not as precious as gold as the stuffy oil bottle, it was not the type that could be haikan, the fat man said a few words, and he was about to lose interest, so he turned the topic back to the code language, and analyzed: "Fat man, let me see, the five-clawed dragon, it is talking about a pair of claws on the dragon's chest, will it refer to a place name, such as five-claw county or something?" ”
Zhang Tangrui said: "We also thought about this, but we didn't find it." ”
The fat man hissed and said, "This is an old thing from thousands of years ago, maybe it has already changed its name, so you can start from this aspect." Zhang Tangrui groaned: "I also tried, no." ”
The fat man spread his hands and said, "I have no choice but to deal with the fat man." Then he stabbed me and said, "You have a lot of ideas, or you have a trick." ”
I was actually already thinking about it, and when the fat man pushed me, I suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say, "Maybe, this is not a name, but a description." ”
Zhang Tangrui immediately said: "How do you say this? ”
I ignored him, but said to the fat man: "Changbai Mountain, Three Holy Snow Mountain." ”
As soon as I reminded him, the fat man immediately met him and said, "You mean...... Hey, there's you kid, I think that's the case. Zhang Jinjing saw the two of us playing dumb riddles, and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?" ”
The fat man and Zhang Meinu established a deep friendship, and immediately explained when they heard the words, saying: "This five-clawed may not be a place name, but an adjective?" In ancient times, many places were named after their appearances, such as Tiger Mountain, Snake Mountain, Pigeon Mountain, and Sansheng Snow Mountain. This five-clawed dragon, could it be a place that looks like a dragon's claw? ”
In this way, the scope of our search has narrowed down a lot, Zhang Jinjing was a little excited, and said, "What about the dragon back to the bone?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said, "Who knows what dumb riddles your ancestors are playing, you Zhang family don't know, how can I know, fat man." ”
I said, "I guess I got the place, and I can figure it out by looking at the actual form." ”
With our reminder, Zhang Tangrui immediately moved to the computer, and a group of us began to check the map information of Inner Mongolia, which is not easy to check, and most of the information found out is travel information, as well as a lot of pictures.
Suddenly, an image broke into front of our eyes.
When the fat man saw it, he said curiously: "This place is Inner Mongolia?" The fat man looked at it, how did it look like the Loess Plateau? "The photo is a section of the Yellow River Basin, but the strange thing is that the terrain around the river is full of some loess rocks, uneven, at a glance, like countless small hills, very similar to the weathered rock landforms in the Gobi area.
But this place is indeed in Inner Mongolia.
This photograph suddenly clashes with the endless prairie in our impression, so it is particularly eye-catching, and those weathered hills are just like some animal claws stretching out into the sky, which is unique.
Not only the fat man, but even I have some doubts about whether this is a photo from Inner Mongolia.
But then, I met and said to the fat man: "The thickest Yellow River existed more than a million years ago, and if it has developed to the extent of yellow water soup, it has been at least 10 million years, and the yellow sand that has been washed down from the Loess Plateau has been down the river, making a large amount of yellow sand accumulate around the Yellow River Basin, and after tens of millions of years of accumulation, this earthy yellow sandstone will be formed.
However, this sandstone does not accompany the entire Yellow River basin, and often only appears at the corners of some large estuaries, because due to the change of the river channel, a lot of sand and soil will be washed out, even hundreds of meters away under the impact of huge currents.
The place in the photo, located in the Jungger Banner of Inner Mongolia, is not very common, we only need to check a few big bends that flow through the Yellow River in Inner Mongolia, we can make a judgment.
Soon, three selective places popped up.
The first one is located in the western part of Inner Mongolia, bordering Ningxia, but that one is unlikely, because of its awkward location, and if so, the first sentence should not be Qingmeng.
The second place is the place in the photo, which is located in Jungar Banner and is a well-known tourist destination. This makes us feel more difficult, in our industry, where there are more people, the more difficult it is to get things done.
So we looked at the third place.
The third place disappointed us, it was indeed a large bend, but because the difference between the top and bottom of this bend was too large, there was no impact rock formed on both sides of the bank, but a flat land with yellow sand.
In this way, the most likely place is the Jungar flag.
