Chapter 12 The Southern Pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty

Wenmo motioned for the rest of us not to move, turned to me and said, "Light some dead branches, just in case." ”

Lantern Xiao and I immediately understood, when we were in the ancient tomb of the island, we knew that this kind of five-trick stone man, in fact, it was exactly the thing inside the five-trick stone man, which belonged to the yin and evil things. What I am afraid of is charcoal ashes!

Lantern Xiao and I collected dead branches around and lit them, and soon the branches turned charcoal black.

Wen Mo gestured to us, and then walked over to the stone man's position. Anado also wanted to follow, but was pulled by Lantern Xiao, and then handed her a burnt charcoal black wooden stick.

Anador took it inexplicably, and then looked at us, "You guys are going to barbecue?" ”

Lantern Xiao shook his head, "No, this stone man may be in danger, so we must prepare in advance?" ”

"Ready?" Anador shook the burning stick in his hand, "Just rely on this thing?" ”

I heard the conversation between the two of them, and it was a bit of a headache, but it was something I couldn't explain to Anado. I had to gesture to the two of them, "Shhhh ”

The three of us looked nervously at Wen Mo, who was getting closer and closer to the stone man, and Lantern Xiao whispered to Wen Mo: "Boss, otherwise, I'll find a stone to throw and explore the way." ”

I glared at him, "You don't think the last time was a big deal, did you?" ”

Lantern Xiao muttered and shut her mouth.

Wen Mo walked up to the stone man, carefully observed the appearance of the stone man, especially the top of the stone man's head and navel, and then looked at the back of the person.

I know what he's looking at, the last time I was in the ancient tomb on the island, I heard Yuan An talk about this kind of five-trick stone man. The so-called five-trick stone man is to open five holes in a specific position on the ordinary stone man, so that the stone man can absorb the aura of heaven and earth, thus producing a terrible creature, which was made by the ancients for guarding the mausoleum.

The five orifices of the five-trick stone man are respectively opened on the top of the stone man's head, navel, the door, and the heart of the feet. And the stone figure in front of us, just when we looked at it, we had already noticed that there were special carvings and depressions on the top of its head and navel, which looked like a trick to make it.

However, I always felt that although this stone figure was the same as the one we saw in the island tomb, it didn't seem to be quite the same in terms of the production of the trick, but I was by no means sure, after all, when we were on the island at that time, we only cared about running for our lives and didn't care about the body structure of those stone figures.

Wenmo examined the stone man, then made a safe gesture to us.

I didn't expect that this five-trick stone man was not in danger, could it be that the production failed? But since Wenmo said so, there shouldn't be anything wrong.

The three of us walked up, and I squatted on the ground with Lantern Xiao to check it, and Lantern Xiao said: "This stone figure we saw on the island is basically the same, especially the facial carving, which I know better, because I deliberately saw it at that time." It's just that the whole is much smaller than the ones on the island. ”

I listened to Lantern Xiao's words and frowned slightly, "The kind of stone man on the island, why is there also a stone man here?" What is the connection? ”

Lantern Xiao squatted down and gently touched the surface of the stone man with his hand, I don't know why when he touched the stone man, my heart trembled, maybe the last time I saw this kind of thing, it was too terrifying.

Lantern Xiao said: "There are many possibilities for these two similarities, such as similar methods, similar technologies, and even similar cultural inheritance. ”

"Cultural heritage?" I find it a little hard to believe, "From the Bohai Sea to the southwest of China, there are more than 2,000 kilometers in between. This inheritance is a bit far away, right? ”

At this time, Wen Mo shook his head slightly, "It's not far away, it may not only be cultural inheritance, but more likely, it is simply a group of people." ”

Wenmo's words surprised me and Lantern Festival, and it was already a little difficult to cross such a distance in ancient times for the same cultural inheritance. Now Wenmo even said that it may be the same group of people, which is simply incredible, in ancient times, when there were no cars and trains, and the natural conditions and social environment were extremely harsh, if there was really such a group of people, this was simply an impossible task.

We were discussing the stone man in front of us, and Annado, who was next to you, suddenly said, "Have you ever seen this kind of stone man before?" How do I feel like you're hiding something from me? ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me strangely, and immediately lowered her head and didn't speak. And I quickly explained, "Like those who rushed to our line, there are a lot of antique opinions, and I have met a few people who have seen it before, which is not very normal!" ”

Anador still looked skeptical, and I didn't want to continue on this topic, so I asked Wenmo softly, "This thing, it's not dangerous?" ”

Wen Mo shook his head, "This thing is not the same as the kind of stone man we saw last time!" ”

"Oh?" As soon as I heard this, I quickly asked, "What's the difference?" ”

Wen Mo pointed out to us, "Look here, in the island stone man's gate, there is also enlightenment, but there is no here. All we could see was the top of the stone man's head and navel, but," Wen Mo said with a sudden pause.

Lantern Xiao and I hurriedly urged when we heard half of it, "But what? ”

Wen Mo continued: "However, the trick here is not quite right, there are some carved patterns around the stone trick here, which seems to look very much like the Sinan pattern in the Western Zhou Dynasty. ”

"What is the Sinan pattern in the Western Zhou Dynasty?" I asked.

Wenmo explained to us: "Before the Western Zhou Dynasty, all kinds of information were not developed at that time, so people at that time came up with a mark to record information, and this mark can change with different conditions such as time and season, that is to say, the information left by this Sinan pattern is not static, but dynamic, even if the time of leaving the Sinan pattern is far away from the time of discovery, the person who found it can still deduce the change of content according to the information left on the line." ”

After listening to Wenmo's narration, Lantern Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "I'll go!" And this kind of thing! That's amazing! ”

I said to Wen Mo: "According to your meaning, this stone man should be left behind during the Western Zhou Dynasty?" ”

Wenmo shook his head, "This is not the case, the so-called Sinan pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty was not produced in the Western Zhou Dynasty, long before the Western Zhou Dynasty, this kind of Sinan pattern has appeared, but modern people finally found the record of this pattern on a bronze of the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it was named the Sinan pattern of the Western Zhou Dynasty." ”

Anador next to her listened to our conversation and looked confused, "Wait, can you explain what you're talking about?" ”

I had long known that this would happen when I brought Anadot over, but I had no choice but to say to her: "We are looking for clues related to my second uncle's trip, and these things are related to some of our previous experiences. So, I can't explain it to you for a while. ”

Anador is very rational and has a clear mind. Therefore, she didn't entangle with me about this matter, so she asked, "Okay, let's not discuss this issue for the time being, you just said that this stone man is in danger?" ”

"This," I thought for a moment and said, "we haven't decided on this yet, maybe we're wrong." After speaking, I turned my head to look at Wenmo, "Boss, what kind of Sinan pattern on this stone figure does it mean?" ”

Lantern Xiao said: "This is not simple, the kind of large stone man we saw on the island at the beginning is a defensive measure. And the stone man we met today may not have that kind of function, so there is no danger, and its role is likely to be related to the Sinan pattern that the boss just said. ”

I asked Xiang Wenmo again, "In this case, can you understand this Sinan pattern on this stone man?" ”

Wen Mo nodded and said, "I'll try it." After speaking, Wenmo took out a water bottle and washed the lines on the top of the stone man's head and navel.

Wenmo tells us that there are two sinan patterns on this stone figure that indicate that these two lines are complementary to each other, and they provide information to each other, and then get a final answer.

Wen Mo looked at the two stone patterns carefully for a while and said, "This seems to be a Sinan pattern that indicates the location point." ”

As soon as we heard this, we immediately came to the spirit, "What direction?" It is very likely that the location of my second uncle can be determined through this azimuth point. ”

"However," Wen Mo said here and suddenly stopped, "I think there may be something wrong with this direction, it only points out a direction, but it is not detailed. However, in terms of the role of Sinan pattern, it can be done in more detail. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that when it was first engraved, it was not engraved at all, and the information they had at that time was not complete?" ”

Lantern Xiao felt unlikely, "If you just want to point out the direction, there is no need to use such a complex Sinan pattern, just carve one hand for this stone man, and use your fingers to point the direction." ”

"Hey!" Lantern Xiao suddenly raised her voice, "We're really confused, maybe this stone figure has this kind of stone pattern carved elsewhere!" Do you still remember, the five-trick stone man may have two tricks in the two feet of the stone man, should we take a look? ”

I looked down at the stone man's feet, where part of his feet were buried in the earth. I always felt that there was something wrong with this, so I said, "I don't think it's better to move, isn't the lesson from the last time on the island enough?" ”

Lantern Xiao didn't think so, "Didn't the boss say that this stone man is not dangerous?" Besides, this stone man is not the same as the one we encountered on the island, this stone man doesn't even have all five tricks. As he spoke, he was about to move the stone man.

I saw that Wenmo didn't open his mouth to stop it, so I couldn't say anything. At this moment, Anador suddenly said, "Don't move yet!" ”
