Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Ancestral Monument
"You'll go. The old man seemed to be confident, and regardless of Xiao Han's disbelieving expression, he continued: "Every time, you outsiders, every time you will gather in various big cities, and then fight for power and profit, and finally the victor will rummage around like a wild boar to find some mysterious things, since a long time ago. ”
When the old man said this, Xiao Han understood a little, it is true that one person or several people are looking for something in such a large place, and it is looking for it without any clues, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, no wonder it has not been turned out for thousands of years, if you form your own forces here and then look for them together, it is indeed a good way to save time and be effective.
"Okay, no problem!" Xiao Han thought of this and agreed, anyway, there is no shadow, first promise to talk about it, now it is more important to figure out the matter of the parchment roll, I don't know why, he began to have a little interest in this operation, such a challenging task can match his high IQ...... Thinking that if I could solve this thousand-year-old puzzle, I suddenly felt a little excited......
The old man saw that Xiao Han agreed, and he didn't suspect him, so he immediately smiled, stood up and had to go to the village......
Xiao Han looked at it, of course he didn't want to, why did this old man have to run away after eating and wiping it clean? Quickly got up from the ground, went up and grabbed the old village chief, and said angrily: "Hey, hey, hey...... Don't go, old man! You haven't said anything about this sheepskin! Why don't you turn your face and deny it?"
"I know, don't I want to take you to see this!" The old village chief dissatisfiedly shook off Xiao Han's hand, turned a corner, let go of the noisy crowd, and walked towards the quiet west of the village.
Xiao Han glanced at Meng Sai and hurriedly followed. The village chief walked in front, and the two of them followed closely behind, and the noise behind them came farther and farther, and after a while, no sound could be heard, and only the huge fire could be seen from afar, and the beating flames illuminated most of the village.
"The village chief...... Where is this?" Xiao Han walked more and more wrong, he really hadn't been here for the past two days, how could he be so close to the village, but this place was dark, and the snow on the road was full of unknown animal paw prints, which were spread on the snow in a mess, and the leaves of several bushes on the side of the path had fallen off, leaving empty branches, and some were directly frozen inside, like ghost claws!
The old man ignored all this and continued to walk forward, and when he heard Xiao Han's words, he said without looking back: "This is the ancestral tomb!"
"Ancestral grave?" Xiao Han Mengsai was taken aback when he heard this, "Didn't you say that you don't bother your ancestors? Why are we here?" Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Han's feeling in his heart became clearer and clearer, don't look at himself now that he is indeed very good, but he is as scared as he is in the cemetery at night! It's like if you enter the cemetery empty-handed and hold AK47 in your hand, you won't be afraid of these things because you are strong......
"Okay, it's here!" Just when Xiao Han wanted to pull Meng Sai to turn his head back, the old man in front of him suddenly stopped, Xiao Han saw through the faint moonlight that was shining over, an old stone tablet was erected in front of the old man, and the darkness blended with the night, and he couldn't see it at all until he was in front of him.
"This is?" Xiao Han moved his fingers, and a flame appeared out of thin air, illuminating the surroundings a little brighter, holding this fire, Xiao Han leaned forward and observed it carefully.
I don't know how many years have passed in front of this stone tablet here, there are traces of weathering all over the body, but it can be seen that it is a rare hexagonal shape, how tall a person is, the thickness of the wheels, full of potholes, only the side facing the village is engraved with a symbol that is a bit like the shape of the Buddha character, the difference is that the top one is in the opposite direction, not the normal windmill shape, this is also a symbol on the corner of the parchment roll!
"Huo! really, Meng Sai, come and see!" Xiao Han looked at this symbol and looked at it for a while, and the empty hand hurriedly took out the parchment roll and compared, and it was exactly the same!
At this time, Monsai also followed, holding the other side of the parchment roll, pulling the parchment apart, leaning in and looking at it carefully, but he was a little skeptical: "Is it a coincidence?"
“...... This is not a coincidence!" The old village chief saw the two of them gathered together, next to the grave, and the two of them were jumping up and down with something like a ghost fire, and suddenly felt a little scared!
"What, how do you know?" the two of them were studying, and they listened to the old man's interjection unexpectedly, and hurriedly turned around and asked together.
The old man ignored the two of them, came up and dragged the sheepskin over, pointed to the symbol that had been recognized on the sheepskin, and said: "How can I not know, there are such stone tablets in several villages around here, the legend is passed down from ancestors, each stone tablet is engraved differently, and the symbols of several villages around here can match this sheepskin!"
"Can you match?" Xiao Han and Meng Sai glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "Could it be that the secret is on the stone tablet?"
"Hey, hey, hey...... What do you want to do?" The old man saw that the two of them were not kind in their eyes, and hurriedly said: "Don't fight the idea of this stone tablet! In the past, some people thought that there was a problem with these stone tablets and wanted to pull them out, but they didn't pull them out, and they were struck by lightning, and the gods of the ancestral monument were shaken, and they were to be punished by heaven!"
"Oh, and that said?" Xiao Han's Meng Sai retracted his hand stupidly, and almost did it just now...... But when I think about it, how can it be that no one has cracked such an obvious thing here for thousands of years? Could it be that everyone who comes here is stupid?
Tell the old man about the question, the old man may have known that there was such a question, and explained to the two of them: "That's not true, but no one before has taken the parchment roll in your hand, they just looked at it from village to village, and it turned out that there were too many villages to count, so there were several batches, and then no one came to ask." ”
That's right, look at the parchment scroll, there are dozens of symbols, one for each village, so it takes a month or two just to look at it, and these villages are not in any order, they are built exactly according to where it is suitable, which is not at all consistent with the only certain information that the treasure is one!
Xiao Han was still a little unrelenting at this time, he touched the stele up and down, left and right, and said that after blowing the cold wind for a long time, he came to see such a broken stone? But how to touch it, it was a broken stone, and it was so cold! I just wanted to put my hand back and go back to roast the fire, and suddenly felt that I had touched something in my hand, just on the top of this stone, under a layer of snow, there seemed to be an angular pit, this is not right, logically speaking, the weathered pit must be irregular! How can there be such a regular mouth here?
"Meng Sai! Meng Sai! Don't go yet!" Xiao Han hurriedly beckoned Meng Sai back, "Squat down!"
"Ah?" Meng Sai was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Xiao Han shouting at him, thinking that he had found something, he quickly retracted his steps and leaned over, who knew that he was pressed to the ground by Xiao Han as soon as he passed, and climbed to the stone tablet by stepping on his shoulder!
"Oh, I'll go, what are you doing, the ghost is on you!" Meng Sai felt Xiao Han's stinky feet next to his nose, and screamed loudly angrily, and he didn't know what creature he was scared of, and a small black shadow flashed in the dark, almost scared Xiao Han to jump down......
Quickly stabilizing his figure, Xiao Han shouted at Meng Sai, who looked unwilling at his feet: "Don't talk nonsense! People are scary, scared to death! Quickly help me go up, I seem to have found something." ”
"Oops...... What are you doing! This is an ancestral monument, how can you step on it!" The old man saw that Xiao Han was about to climb up, and he was suddenly anxious, and when he went up, he had to drag Xiao Han's pants down to struggle.
Feeling that his pants were about to be torn off, Xiao Han was so anxious that he shouted: "Don't drag! Catch two bears for you tomorrow!"
"Okay...... Deal!" The old village chief agreed sharply, and at the same time immediately let go, the huge contrast almost shook Monsai down......
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and go up to me! The two bears are exchanged, don't waste it! I have to step on a few feet if I don't have anything!" Feeling that Meng Sai didn't move, Xiao Han shouted from it again.
"Ahh......h Okay, let's go!" Meng Saimeng came back to his senses, and quickly put Xiao Han on the top of the stone and stood up, he also grabbed the stone with both hands and put his head up to look at it, but Xiao Han just squatted down, and the flame in his hand almost lit Meng Sai's hair......
"Oh! be careful!" Monsey screamed in fright, and immediately let go and jumped down.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see ......" Xiao Han apologized simply, and continued to clean up the snow on the stele, probably because of the high reason, most of the snow was blown into hard lumps by the wind, Xiao Han didn't make much effort to pull all the snow down, and there were also some soft snow foam fluttering and sprinkling with the wind on the faces of Meng Sai and the old man, and the two of them were so angry that they almost pulled Xiao Han down with one leg and one person!
But Xiao Han knew this, the snow was cleared, Xiao Han held the magic flame and came up to take a look, sure enough, there was a small pit in the middle of the top, the size of an apple core, and the shape was very familiar?"
"Where have you seen it?" Xiao Han scratched his head, and suddenly another black shadow flashed next to him, so frightened that Xiao Han got up and kicked it in the crotch of the black shadow......
"Don't kick! it's me!" Meng Sai shouted, grabbed Xiao Han's severed grandson's foot, and the power from his hand shook his palm numb, seeing Xiao Han retract his leg, Meng Sai was afraid for a while, this was going to be kicked...... The happiness of the second half of life can be completely over.
"Come up and don't say anything, scare me!" Xiao Han was still unhappy, touched the painful calf that was caught, Xiao Han took out the parchment roll again, and saw if there was anything similar on it.
Xiao Han was on the parchment roll one by one, Meng Sai also squatted opposite Xiao Han to look, such a stone tablet squatting two people were a little crowded, Meng Sai could only tilt his head as much as possible not to block Xiao Han from looking at the picture, but from this angle, how does this pit look like a spar shape!
"Crystallization of Divine Power?" Meng Sai suddenly realized, took out a milky white crystal from his small pocket, carefully placed it in the pit, and only heard a crisp sound of 'click', this crystallization of divine power was just right to be embedded in the stone tablet!
