429 Chapter 26 Section 24

ps: My family is building a house, but the loan has not been paid. I am dying. Seeing that the weather is getting cold, there is no hope of completing the house this year. Alas... But the work has stopped over there, and the ghost hand update can be improved... There must be gains in losses.

"That's not right, sister!" Xu Yunde said thoughtfully: "According to the ancient custom, writing is from right to left. How about you read it backwards?"

When Liu Ping heard this, she suddenly realized: "That's right! Brother Xu, I always felt that something was wrong before, but I just couldn't figure out where it was. After you said this, I finally understood it!"

stop

, Liu Ping hurriedly read out the place names on the map in order from right to left: "Night dream, fairy spirit, instructions, spiritual reef, hidden, mysterious, fate, in the environment, seeking secrets,

When the water is gone, the stone floats, and everything becomes clear."

After reading, Liu Ping and Xu Yunde couldn't help but look at each other, standing dumbfounded in the dense jungle. It turned out that the strangeness of this map was really in these place names! After a little integration of the sentence fragments, and then reading, those place names turned out to be one.

A narrative poem!

"In the night dream, the fairy tells things, and the spiritual reef hides mysteries. I find the secrets in the realm, and the water is gone, and the stone is floating, and it becomes clear!"

Liu Ping and Xu Yunde understood the meaning of the first three sentences on the spot. They were just dreaming at night. They dreamed that the gods told them something. "Spirit Reef" must refer to this overseas island. After translation,

The second sentence says that there are mysteries hidden on the isolated island, and the third sentence means that the destined people came to the island to explore the secrets. But it is only the last sentence that is said, which is a bit unclear.

Xu Yunde speculated: "When the water is gone, the stone floats clearly? Does it mean that when the water is gone, the stone floats, and then the truth is revealed? But if the water is gone, how can the stone float? Don't say that when the water is gone, the stone floats.

Even if the water is full, the stone will never float on the water."

At this time, Liu Ping was also full of doubts. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Could the water mentioned here mean that the water in the stone wall was drained away?"

Xu Yunde nodded and said: "It's possible. Now that we have released the water in the stone wall, shouldn't the sight of the 'stone floating' also appear? Why don't we go back and have a look, and tell the old Taoists about this by the way?"

, maybe those old men will have other opinions."

Liu Ping responded: "That's fine. After all, Wang Daxian is very knowledgeable. Maybe there are other explanations for this poem, but..." After saying that, Liu Ping raised her eyes and looked at the direction where the Ge brothers left.

.

Xu Yunde smiled and said: "Sister, after the two of them hunt wild animals, Ge, Wu, Ge and Liu will naturally return to the altar, so you don't have to worry."

Liu Ping nodded and said: "In that case, let's go back first."

Then, the two of them turned around and rushed back. But when they returned to the altar, they were shocked by what they saw! At this time, the altar had already been soaked with water.

Under the sunlight, it exudes a dark metallic luster.

The stone wall is actually much higher than before. This is because the drainage holes were close to the stone platform before, but now they are about three meters away from the stone platform. It can be seen that when Liu Ping and Xu Yunde left,

In a short time, the stone wall grew nearly three meters high!

"This...couldn't this be the end of the river, right?" Xu Yunde stared at the stone wall with a shocked face and stuttered.

Liu Ping nodded and replied: "I think that's probably it!"

At this time, Wang Changgui and others who were still standing in front of the stone wall saw Xu Yunde and Liu Pi coming back together, and they all came over to say hello. Then Wang Changgui said: "Girl, Brother Xu, didn't you go hunting? Why did you come back so soon?"

?Where are the Ge brothers?"

Xu Yunde said: "They are still catching wild animals in the forest. My sister and I discovered something, so we rushed back first and wanted to hear your opinions as soon as possible."

"Oh?" Wang Changgui asked curiously, "I wonder what you discovered?"

Liu Ping was staring at the stone wall at this time, and did not even listen to Wang Changgui's words. After Wang Changgui saw this, he spoke again: "We were also surprised. Not long after you left, as the water drained away, this giant stone wall

It started to grow continuously, and soon it was nearly three meters tall!"

"When all is said and done! I understand!" Liu Ping, who was silent, suddenly said.

When Wang Changgui and others heard this, their faces were full of surprise. Ma Sheng said: "Miss Liu, you said that when the water ends, the stone floats? Are you referring to this stone wall?"

Liu Ping nodded and said: "Yes, by the way, everyone, what Brother Xu and I discovered in the woods just now is actually related to the Hongyuan map. According to our speculation, it is not actually a map, but

It has another purpose!"

Xu Yunde nodded and said, "You're right, sister!" As he said that, he unfolded the map again.

Wang Changgui looked at the map in Xu Yunde's hand and asked curiously: "You said that this map is actually used for another purpose? What is its purpose?"

Liu Ping took the map from Xu Yunde's hand, and then read it again according to the previous method. When Wang Changgui heard this, he was speechless. He hurriedly grabbed the map and followed Liu Ping's reading method. After a while, he looked overjoyed and said: "

So that’s it! Girl, Brother Xu, you two are so smart! Such a hidden thing was discovered by you..."

Xu Yunde laughed and said: "This is all a girl's brain. How could I have come up with this! Oh, by the way, we didn't understand the last sentence of this poem. What's the meaning of 'when water ends, stones float'? If there is enough water, what will happen to the stones?"

Will it float up?"

Wang Changgui stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and then said: "Brother Xu, when you and the girl didn't come back, I made a guess. Maybe the stone wall didn't grow taller, but because the water inside was drained.

Its weight is reduced, so it goes up. But at that time, I didn't think of the word 'floating', so I couldn't figure it out. In this way, things became much clearer."

Liu Ping said: "Great Immortal, what you mean is that the bottom of this stone platform is actually full of water, and the part of the stone wall buried under the stone platform is actually hollow, so it can float on the water. And this entire

The function of the stone platform is actually to stabilize the stone wall so that it will not float left and right on the water?"

Wang Changgui nodded and said: "Perhaps this is the most likely explanation for all these strange phenomena, right?"

Xu Yunde couldn't help but took over the words: "That means that the position we are standing on now is actually above the water. It is only because there is this huge stone platform like a pot lid that covers the water, so we mistakenly

Think it’s land?”

Wang Changgui replied noncommittally: "It's very possible."

At this time, Ma Sheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Then the person who designed this altar went out of his way to arrange these ingenious mechanisms. What is the purpose?"

Mu Qiuhen also said in confusion: "When the water is gone, the stone is floating, and now the water is gone, and the stone is floating, but the truth of the matter does not seem to be clear! At least the altar has not changed at all!"

Liu Ping said: "Perhaps the word 'Xianming' in the last sentence actually refers to what we can infer from these two points after the water is gone and the stone is floating, rather than the final answer."

After Xu Yunde heard this, he immediately said: "What conclusion can we draw from these two points? It is just that there is a huge pool under the stone platform? And the lower part of the stone wall is hollow? Even if it is

What's the use of knowing all this? Isn't it still impossible to elicit the totem's divine power to help Hongyuan ascend to power smoothly?"

Wang Changgui said: "Perhaps the problem lies here. Brother Xu is right. Through the phenomenon of water and stone floating, the conclusion we can draw is that there is a pool under the stone platform and the bottom of the stone wall is hollow. Maybe we

It can be understood that these two points are phases, and the meaning of 'phases are clear' actually means that the 'phases' must be clarified first, and then the results can be 'clear'!"

Mu Qiuhen took over and said: "According to this, the final conclusion is likely to be hidden under the pool or inside the stone wall?"

Wang Changgui nodded and said: "Not bad!"

When Xu Yunde heard this, he suddenly became interested and heard him say: "Why don't I crawl into the inside of the stone wall along the drainage hole to have a look?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Ping shook her head when she heard this. She said: "The hole is used to drain the water stored in the upper part of the stone wall, so it probably does not lead to the lower part. If it is true, how can the water do it?"

If it flows out, how can the lower half be hollow?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this. Liu Ping was right. If the drainage hole and the hollow part at the bottom of the stone wall are really connected, the water will definitely flow into the bottom. In this way, the phenomenon of water draining and floating on stone will be eliminated.

It is impossible to appear.

Xu Yunde also knew that what Liu Ping said was reasonable, but after thinking about it, doubts arose. Since the lower half of the stone wall was empty, it meant that there must be a cave leading to the inside. Otherwise, so what?

How about hollowing it out? And if the hole leading to the lower half of the stone wall is not above the water, wouldn't the water in the pool pour into the stone wall along the hole? How could the stone wall float?

Woolen cloth?

Just when everyone was puzzled, they suddenly heard a sound of laughter coming from the dense forest in the distance. The voices of these two people were very familiar to Liu Ping and the others. They were the Ge brothers who were going hunting. Looking at this situation, they

The harvest must be good, otherwise how could it be like this?

Sure enough, after a while, Ge Wu and Ge Liu were seen walking out of the forest, talking and laughing, carrying huge wild sheep, each covered with wild animals such as hares and pheasants.

.When the two of them raised their eyes and saw what happened on the altar, they were also shocked.

He hurriedly put the wild things aside, and then the two quickly climbed up the stone platform, ran up to the crowd, and said in disbelief: "How come this stone wall has grown so much?"

Liu Ping roughly told them the whole story. After hearing this, Ge Wu said with surprise: "So that's it... Oh, by the way, we just found a pool in the forest. That pool
