As soon as he came, Han Yunfeng and Xue Hang took a few rubbing papers in a row, and this time, the lines reproduced on them were clearly visible.

"It's really only the traditional way that works. ”

Xue Hang took the rubbing paper and looked at it over and over, looked up and said with a smile.

"Not necessarily, maybe it's the phone's pixel and clarity. Xue Hang responded.

"Don't worry about that, as long as it works. ”

Han Yunfeng stopped the small talk between the two and beckoned, "You see, the lines inside the squares above are indeed very similar to the pictographs. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly turned his head to Zhou Mingrui and said, "Xiao Zhou, maybe your guess just now is true, these lines are actually a kind of text." ”

"Perhaps, but we don't know anything about ancient characters, and we need to rely on those experts who specialize in ancient characters to do further research. ”

"Secretary Xue......"

As soon as Zhou Mingrui's words fell, he heard a technician standing behind Xue Hang suddenly shouting at him.

Several people looked up one after another to look at the technical soldier, and Xue Hang directly turned his head and asked, "Xiao Zhao, what's the matter?"

"Secretary Xue......"

The technician pointed to the rubbing paper he was holding and replied, "I seem to know a little bit of the words on the paper." ”

"Huh?"

Xue Hang, Han Yunfeng, and Zhou Mingrui were all shocked.

Immediately, the three of them looked at each other a few times, and after each nodded, they walked to the side of the technical soldier Xiao Zhao in a few steps.

"Xiao Zhao, don't be nervous......"

Zhou Mingrui patted him on the shoulder, handed him a stack of rubbing paper in his hand, and said, "You just said that you seem to know, can you tell me what kind of text this is." ”

Xiao Zhao swallowed his saliva, glanced at the other two chiefs, and saw that they were all nodding to himself, so he reached out and took the rubbing paper.

After quickly scanning the contents of the first piece of paper, he looked up and explained: "Three chiefs, I was very interested in ancient Chinese characters before, and I have studied them for a while, and the characters on them are ......."

It seems to be a kind of writing used in ancient China - the big seal. ”

"Big Seal?"

Han Yunfeng and the three of them frowned together and glanced at each other, although they didn't know what was written on the paper, they were obviously aware of the evolution history of various characters in China since ancient times, and naturally they had all heard of the Great Seal, a script used in ancient China.

Xiao Zhao nodded and continued to explain: "The Great Seal is a font commonly used in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and many people should know that it refers to the text before the Little Seal, but in fact, this kind of script also includes the Zhong Ding script and the simplified Zhou script of the Yin Shang period, and the oracle bone script may also be included in it. ”

"Then can you translate the text on this?" Xue Hang asked.

"Secretary Xue, I don't know much about the Great Seal, and I can only know a small part of it. Xiao Zhao scratched his head, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter, you can recognize as much as you want. ”

Han Yunfeng stepped forward and said, "Point out the words that you can roughly recognize and show us." ”

"Oh well. ”

Xiao Zhao nodded in response, then stretched out a finger to confirm from the right, and explained some of the words he knew accurately to the three translators.

And Han Yunfeng, Xue Hang, and Zhou Mingrui listened attentively to his story.

............

More than half an hour later, it was evening......

The technical soldier Xiao Zhao returned to work, while Han Yunfeng and the three of them walked together to a place where no one was staying.

The three of them looked at each other a few times after stopping, and each of them frowned, and their faces were worried.

"Old Han ......"

Xue Hang stared at Han Yunfeng and took the lead in saying, "It seems that we will have to apply to the upper authorities to assign some paleographic experts when we go back at night." ”

"Well, after I go back, I will immediately state the specific situation to the above, and they will not be able to pay attention to this special situation. And the secret of this tree ......"

As he spoke, he suddenly looked sideways at the towering giant tree behind him, took a deep breath, and sighed, "I'm afraid it's far more complicated and troublesome than all of us imagined." ”

"Old Han, don't think about it so much......"

Xue Hang patted him on the shoulder, looking much more relaxed than him, and said with a smile: "We're just running errands, let's leave the headache to those people above, it's enough for us to do what we have to do." ”

"Hmm. Han Yunfeng nodded in response and didn't say anything.

"However, the words that Xiao Zhao recognized just now are really reverie, Xiao Zhou ......"

But then, Xue Hang suddenly turned his head to stare at Zhou Mingrui, who didn't speak, and said, "Now that I find out this situation, if I can't say it well, I will really be told by you." ”

"Secretary Xue......"

"Okay, we just know these things in our hearts, so don't talk about it anymore, lest outsiders say that we spread rumors. ”

Zhou Mingrui understood what Xue Hang was talking about, but as soon as he opened his mouth to say something, he was interrupted by Han Yunfeng, only to see him wave his hand to stop the small talk between the two, and frowned: "But I still hope that this matter will not really be as we thought after it is confirmed." ”

"Alas......"

Xue Hang shook his head and sighed: "But now this situation is obviously impossible to deal with simply, the news of the appearance of the Divine Tree in Mount Tai is now known to the whole country, who knows if there will be some bigger things in the future, and by that time......"

"It's really not easy to solve. ”

Hearing this, Han Yunfeng and Zhou Mingrui, who were thinking about it, couldn't help frowning together and fell silent.

After a while, Han Yunfeng calmed down, suddenly took a few deep breaths, and then looked up at the sky, and then looked at the time on his watch.

"Old Xue ......"

Without saying anything more about the topic just now, he turned to Xue Hang and said, "It's going to be dark soon, you go and inform those technicians to pack up the equipment, and we will go down the mountain later." ”

Xue Hang nodded, and without responding, he trotted directly towards those technical soldiers.

Dozens of minutes later, Han Yunfeng, Xue Hang, and Zhou Mingrui, together with those technical soldiers, boarded the helicopter that arrived and came to the temporary camp that the troops at the foot of the mountain had urgently arranged in the afternoon.

That night, after Han Yunfeng and his deputy Xue Hang consulted, they each submitted a report and a copy of the rubbing paper.

Then, in a phone call with the upper echelons, the two detailed all the response measures after arriving today and everything they heard and saw during the investigation.

...... the morning of the second day

Several biology professors from the SD Provincial Agricultural University, who were assigned by the upper echelons, arrived first with some student assistants, and several paleographers also arrived later.

After Han Yunfeng took them to the camp one by one, he first gathered these experts and professors together and briefly explained the situation to them.

After lunch, he personally sent these biological professors to the top of the mountain where the sacred tree was located, so that they could further investigate and collect data, and the paleographers ......

was arranged by Xue Hang and Zhou Mingrui to a camp with enhanced security.

After the two of them sent the rubbing paper with the lines in front of them, it didn't take long to get their accurate answer - the lines were indeed the ancient Chinese Great Seal style.

"Professor Zhang, Professor Liu......"

In the camp, Xue Hang stared at the paleographic experts in front of him, and said with a serious expression: "We have sent someone to rub the contents of the other parts of the tree, and then the work of analyzing and translating these characters will be left to you." ”

"Secretary Xue, don't worry......"

An old professor in his sixties stepped forward and replied, "We will do our best." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xue Hang nodded heavily, beckoned and walked out of the tent room with Zhou Mingrui on the side.
