When Lao Zhuang heard this, he rushed over and shook my hand excitedly, "Thank you, Boss Xiaozhuo!" Thank you Boss Xiaozhuo! ”

I waved my hand and motioned for him to sit down, "I have something to ask you." ”

Lao Zhuang sat on the chair, "Boss Xiao Zhuo, if you have anything to say, just ask, I will tell you everything I know." ”

I think it's a little funny, the background of the warehouse, coupled with Lao Zhuang's words, there are eight big characters on the wall behind it: leniency in confession, strict in resistance.

I said to Lao Zhuang: "Tell me everything about this stone tablet carefully." ”

Lao Zhuang recalled it and began to tell me about the events of that year......

Among them, Lao Zhuang told me a very strange thing, it turned out that the first factory of the second uncle was not here, but almost less than a kilometer away from here. The real reason why the second uncle moved here is unclear. However, the second uncle also mentioned it occasionally, and he felt that the feng shui here was better than the original place.

There is also a certain reason why the second uncle said this, because on the site of the factory here, it was originally a deserted land temple. The second uncle said that with the blessing of the land, the business must not be wrong. Later, he resolutely closed the original factory and came here to rebuild.

At that time, this land temple had already been cut off from incense, and I don't know how many years ago it had been abandoned, leaving only half of the collapsed courtyard walls and most of the crumbling houses. However, when the construction team was about to demolish the land temple, it would rain heavily every time the construction started. As a result, the construction work could not be completed, and people said that this was the manifestation of the Lord of the Land, and they did not want others to destroy their temples.

Many people persuaded the second uncle to give up this place and choose another place, so as not to anger the gods.

The second uncle didn't think so, he said nonchalantly: "What land lord doesn't want others to destroy his temple!" You see what the temple has broken into, I will build the factory building, and the land lord can live in the factory at any time, which is not better than this. "Others say that the second uncle is stubborn, so he will definitely suffer.

For these words, the second uncle didn't care. That being said, it is always a problem that construction cannot be carried out. After going back and forth several times, the construction team retreated a little. At this time, the second uncle suddenly said, "The land lord should not be afraid that others will demolish its temple, I am afraid that there must be something in this temple that the land lord is afraid of others destroying." ”

When the second uncle said this, many people didn't believe it. As a result, at that time, the second uncle really used a clay knife to dig out a stone tablet hidden in the wall of the Land Temple. It is also strange to say that since this stele was found and brought out, when the construction team started to demolish it again, the sky was clear and smooth sailing.

Since then, people have been very convinced of the second uncle. The stele was stored by the second uncle in the warehouse behind the factory, and he went to study it when he had nothing to do. I don't know if it was really said by the second uncle or a coincidence, after the factory was built, the second uncle's business gradually boomed, so that the second uncle had the ability to build four planting bases.

Lao Zhuang said to me, to be honest, I am half-convinced, I am afraid that there are branches and leaves, exaggerated parts, but part of the truth is certain, the second uncle did build a factory on the site of a land temple, and the stele was also found from the wall of the land temple.

I looked at the stone tablet that had been shattered under my feet, and said to Lao Zhuang: "Okay, Lao Zhuang, this is none of your business, even if this matter is over, I will not pursue it." ”

Lao Zhuang hurriedly left with a thousand thanks.

At this time, there were only two people left in the warehouse, me and Lantern Xiao. Both of them looked at the stone tablet in front of them, and I asked Lantern Xiao, "What do you think?" ”

Lantern Xiao kicked the stele with her foot, "I'm afraid the problem is still on the stele." ”

The two of us squatted down and looked seriously at the stone tablet that had been broken apart, and through the font on it and the degree of corruption of the stone tablet, Lantern Xiao and I roughly speculated that this should be a stone tablet from the early Han Dynasty. The surface of the stone monument that has lasted for thousands of years has been hung with a thick layer of earthy color.

Lantern Xiao and I put a few stone tablets on the floor back together in their original shape. Fortunately, the fragmentation of this stele is not very serious. After we made some adjustments, the quaint appearance of the stele reappeared in front of us.

There are some chisel lines on the surface of the stele, which is not unusual, and many Han Dynasty steles have such lines. However, the patterns engraved on the four corners of the stele have attracted our attention.

The pattern of the four corners looks like small circles, but what do the circles represent? Is it a kind of worship of the sun and the moon?

Lantern Xiao took out the key on his body and scraped Tuqin on the circle pattern, "Hey, Zhuo Ran, it doesn't seem to be a circle at this moment." There are a few other small patterns around here. ”

"Ah, is it?" I hurriedly leaned over to take a closer look, I even took out my mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, sure enough, there were some small marks around the circle, and it was obvious that this trace was formed by artificial carving, not natural formation or bumping.

I looked at the pattern of circles and the surrounding traces, it seemed to be somewhat familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, and overall it looked like a small turtle! Suddenly, I was filled with a spirit, and I remembered where I had seen this pattern. I was shocked, and suddenly I was stunned!

I found that this pattern seemed to be completely beyond my cognition, this pattern was originally left by the second uncle at the fork in the underground river, at that time I thought that the meaning of this pattern was just a figure used by the second uncle to mark the direction or leave some kind of information.

The second time I saw this pattern, it was in the underground passage of the ancient country of Shan Huan, and at that time I realized that this pattern seemed to have a longer origin, and it seemed to have some kind of connection with the ancient country of Shan Huan. And the third time, I saw this pattern, it was on the wall at the entrance of the Altay Hotel, and the pattern was also left by my second uncle, according to my speculation, as if to send me a signal that he had successfully escaped.

I can understand the appearance of the first few patterns, after all, it was in the incident of the Shan Huan Ancient Kingdom. But this time this pattern actually appeared thousands of kilometers away in Guizhou, which is really incomprehensible to me, is there some connection with the ancient country of Shan Huan?

Seeing that my face became a little ugly, Lantern Xiao hurriedly asked, "Hey, are you okay?" What's wrong? ”

I pointed to the pattern on the four corners of the stele and said, "I've seen this pattern before." ”

"What!" Lantern Xiao was a little surprised, "Have you seen it?" In what place? ”

I sat down in my chair a little dazedly and said softly: "Gurbantunggut, Shan Huan Ancient Country!" ”

"Huh? How can it be! Lantern Xiao grew her mouth in surprise, "It's so far away, and there was no Inter Knight at that time!" Even if it is a kind of cultural transmission, it cannot spread to the depths of the desert! ”

I shook my head, "I don't know, but I'm certainly not mistaken. When I was underground in the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, because I thought it was strange, I also paid special attention to this pattern. ”

Lantern Xiao rolled her eyes and recalled, and said, "The underground royal tomb of the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan? Where did I see it, and why haven't I seen it? ”

I glanced at him and said, "You only have the artifact in your eyes, can you still see these things?" "The Lantern Festival is a little bit, but it doesn't deny it.

Lantern Xiao and I sat on two chairs respectively, looking at each other, but we didn't expect that the stone tablet lying on the ground had not had time to study carefully, and came up and gave us a dismount, a small turtle-like pattern, which made me feel dazed.

In fact, in addition to being at a loss, I also had a trace of anger and helplessness. From the endless deserts of Gurbantunggut to the mountainous areas of southwest China, have you run thousands of miles and still can't escape the whirlpool of these mysterious events? I cursed in my heart, are we TM cursed! We seem to be trapped inside. The incident may not have started at all in Gurbantunggut, going back up, or it may have started from the ancient tombs of the island, or the ruins of the Qilian Mountains, and there seems to be an invisible line between them, and we are tied to this line and cannot break free.

After sitting like this for a while, Lantern Xiao spoke first: "Okay, we can't solve the problem if we sit like this, and we can't die if we faint!" Let's take one step at a time, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! ”

"Yes!" I sighed and nodded vigorously, "But after these few times, I also found a problem. ”

Lantern Xiao asked curiously, "What's the problem?" ”

I looked at Lantern Festival and said, "I found that your cultural level has improved!" ”

Lantern Xiao sneered, "You don't squeeze me, don't forget that we are classmates, and my education level is low?" You're no better! ”

I also laughed, "That's not necessarily, there is a classmate of primary school students who has good Chinese scores and failed Chinese scores!" ”

Lantern Xiao patted me, "Okay, if you have good language scores, look at what is written on this inscription!" ”

I nodded, crouched down on the edge of the stele, and took a closer look. The stele is engraved with seal characters, and it is certain from the font and the degree of wear and tear that the stele of the Western Han Dynasty is early. Seal script was the most widely circulated in the Qin and Han dynasties, and it was relatively unified, and in the later period of the Western Han Dynasty, Lishu began to prevail, and until the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lishu developed to its peak.

The font of seal script, divided into large seal and small seal, the big seal refers to the golden script, the Zhou script, and the six languages, the big seal retains the characteristics of the ancient hieroglyphs and the structure is complex. The small seal is the general text set by Qin Shi Huang after the unification of the world, and the small seal is a simplified version of the big seal, which is symmetrical and neat, and is more convenient to write.

However, although the small seal has been quite simplified compared with the big seal, for our group of modern people who are accustomed to seeing simplified characters, if there is no special training, looking at the small seal is like reading the book of heaven, and can only judge the meaning of the word from the little pictographic traces left on its literally.

I looked at the pictures-like words on the stone tablet, and I saw the end from the beginning to the end, and I felt that there were no more than ten words to guess.
