Chapter 25 Bamboo Leaf Seven Stars

Peanut grinned, revealing his big white teeth, and said, "You don't look good."

"No." I tried to calm myself down, "Didn't you already do that? How could..."

"It's not easy for you to remember your last name. I told you that I am invulnerable to all poisons." After saying that, Peanut broke through the hole and shouted: "I won't die that easily."

"Ah!" Lao Tan below was also shocked, "Master Hua, are you not dead?"

"You're not dead yet, so I'm even more embarrassed to take the first step."

Peanut spoke with confidence, the bruises on his face were gone, and he looked better than me. I couldn't accept it for a while.

At this time, the commotion over the second uncle's side became even louder. I asked Lao Tan to stay still and walked over with Peanut.

Everyone was very scared when they saw Peanut's appearance. I wanted to explain, but unexpectedly Peanut took off his clothes and turned his back to everyone.

The purple venom on his back disappeared, and the bloodshot threads around the wound disappeared. Looking carefully, I even felt that his wound seemed to have healed a lot.

"Everyone, please stop making random guesses. Let's go out and talk about this little brother's matter." As soon as Peanut put on his clothes, his second uncle said.

"It's too early to go out now." Peanut's words undoubtedly poured cold water on everyone.

The second uncle smiled and didn't care. Then he pointed to the ground and said, "We have all been deceived by our own experience before. There are indeed articles on these stones."

I knelt down and looked at the stone slab that my uncle was pointing at. Except for a few scratches, I didn't find anything strange. I pressed it with my hand and it was also extremely hard. "Uncle Er, what's wrong with this stone slab?"

The second uncle said: "Take a good look at the scratches on the stone and see what it looks like."

I thought to myself that there were no marks on the stone, but I still got closer and took a closer look. After looking at it for a long time, I finally saw some clues. There were three very faint marks on the stone slab in front of me, and each of them had no rules. At first glance, it looked like nothing, but if I put aside the uneven color of the stone slab, I found that the three traces seemed to form a leaf.

"Leaves?" I felt strange myself.

"To be precise, it's bamboo leaves." Er Lengzi said.

After listening to it, I thought it was true. Then my second uncle pointed out to me the other six stone slabs with the same marks. Without exception, these seven irregularly arranged stone slabs all had the same marks.

"At first we thought that if there was a mechanism here, it must be a movable switch, so we just stepped on it with our feet. We really didn't expect that we encountered such a complicated situation. The bamboo leaves on these seven stone slabs formed a set of seven stars. Picture." The second uncle said, "But other than that, after we looked at it for a long time, I still can't figure out how your friend triggered the mechanism."

Putting the seven bamboo leaves together, I saw a picture of the Big Dipper. However, the seven stone slabs themselves were nothing special and were no different from the surrounding ones. "Hey, are they all going to be stepped on?" I said. I remembered that Lao Tan said that he was dancing here before, maybe because he accidentally stepped on these stone slabs according to a certain pattern, so he triggered the mechanism.

After listening to my idea, the second uncle nodded. Then he asked a few guys to step on the stone slabs back and forth to see if it was effective, but in the end, a group of people stepped there like a big rope for more than ten minutes, and nothing happened. Didn't see any movement on the ground.

The second uncle shook his head and asked those people to stop. After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked at Peanut beside him. "Brother, can you see the doorway here?"

"He carved bamboo on the tomb and used bamboo leaves to draw a seven-star diagram. The owner of this ancient tomb seems to have a preference for bamboo." Peanut did not answer, but seemed to be studying the origin of this ancient tomb.

"In ancient times, gentlemen loved bamboo, and gentlemen loved lotus. Maybe the owner of the tomb thought that his surname was as upright as bamboo. Is there anything strange about this?" I said.

"No." The second uncle suddenly said, "Everything in the mausoleum should be related to the identity of the tomb owner, and a mausoleum of this size is no exception. Historically, bamboo can be used to represent one's low status. I can only think of one thing.

A possibility."

"What's possible?" I looked at my second uncle and thought to myself, are you trying to save my dad or come here to do archaeology?

"The ancient country of Yelang." Peanut said.

"Yes, only the Ancient Yelang Kingdom has the highest worship of bamboo. Here... But it's impossible. Although it is also the Western Han Dynasty, this is not the area of ​​the Ancient Yelang Kingdom. How can there be their tombs, or even

It's still a royal tomb." The second uncle was very confused.

"The ancient country of Yelang? Is it the arrogant one of Yelang?" I know very little about history. Apart from the five words "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing", I have almost no historical knowledge. "But no matter what kind of tomb it is, what does it matter? We are now

We have to go down and wait until you figure it out and find my father, then you will have to collect his body."

"Nonsense." The second uncle glared at me, "What do you know, huh, if this is really the ancient country of Yelang, then I would have thought of the possibility of the Seven Star Map."

As soon as we heard this, we all calmed down and waited for the second uncle to continue talking.

"That was more than 20 years ago. Not long after I went to the ground to explore the underworld with my eldest brother, we also found a Han tomb. It was a prince. There was nothing valuable in the tomb. I remember that my eldest brother seemed a little absent-minded at that time.

After working for a long time, we didn't pick up anything, as if we were looking for something. Later, we entered the main tomb, and there was only one coffin in it. My elder brother didn't let me help, so I looked around the main tomb by myself.

In the corner of the wall, I found a secret compartment. I thought there might be a treasure hidden inside, but when I opened the secret compartment, there was only a bundle of rotten bamboo slips. When I opened the bamboo slips, I found that there were words written in small seal script on them, which happened to be my research.

I had gone through these, so I knew what was written on it. However, after reading it again, I found that the records inside were actually about the ancient country of Yelang. It said that "from the South China Sea, there is Daze in the north". In short, they all seemed to be some nights.

The humanities and history of Lang Gu and so on.”

When I saw the expression on my second uncle's face, I thought to myself that you were just passing by because you wanted to hide that you didn't recognize many of the words on the bamboo slips.

The second uncle pursed his lips and continued: "However, at the end of the bamboo slips, I saw a very interesting passage. I still remember it very clearly. It said, 'For seven stars, three or four are the best. Among one and five, three

"Three works must be remembered". I didn't understand what it meant at the time, but now that I think about it, could it be related to this?"

What I said in my heart was three-three-one-five. However, after hearing this, Peanut asked: "What happened to the bamboo slips in the end?"

"When my eldest brother saw me squatting there later, he snatched the bamboo slip away with one hand, and then he took that thing out." The second uncle said.

Just when I thought it was a bit puzzling for Peanut to ask this question, Er Lengzi and Qin Feng on the side suddenly looked at each other and said "Hmm".

"What's wrong?" I asked them.

The second fool smiled and said: "Three and four are the best, among one and five, three and three are the bottom. This is a game that the master taught us when we were young."

"Huh?" We were all stunned.

Er Lengzi continued: "Those are three steps. First, draw sixteen points on the ground. Two people stand back to back on both sides. Each person chooses a step and shouts it, and then starts walking along these points.

For example, if I call San San, then I have to take three steps to the left, and then take three steps to the right. If I step on another person during the three steps to the left, I will lose, and if I step on the right, I will lose.

If I step on the opponent in those three steps, I win once. Hey, anyway, we play according to the three steps in the order of left and then right. Every time, the master let me and the madman play seven times, and we thought it was nothing.

I mean, but every time I play with this, I’m very serious.”

I don’t know if my father’s behavior is considered child abuse, but after hearing this, Peanut smiled and said, “That’s it.”

To be honest, one moment it was the ancient country of Yelang, another moment it was the era of the second uncle's ecstasy, and then it was the miserable childhood of the second idiot. I was already a little dizzy, so I patted Peanut on the shoulder and said, "If you have anything to say, please tell me.

I can wait, but my dad can’t wait.”

Peanut smiled at me, and then said to his second uncle and the others: "Yuan Jie is right, we have to hurry up, so everyone should organize the equipment and get things first."

"What do you mean?" the second uncle asked him.

"If my measurement is correct, the stone slabs around here are a lock, and the key is the game you played when you were children." Peanut looked at Er Lengzi and Qin Feng.

"What?" Both of them looked at Peanut in confusion.

Peanut said: "If you don't want to waste time, don't ask any more questions. Let's get ready first."

When I heard this, I immediately glanced at the people around me. No one moved, and the atmosphere was a bit tense. All the guys under my father looked at Peanut with a cold snort, as if to say, "Why should we listen to you?"

.”

The second uncle is the oldest here. He waved his hand and raised his head, and the other unconvinced people all went to pack their equipment. Qin Feng was still the fastest. After ten minutes, not only did he put his

The bag was packed and I added some things to it. The others were not slow either. Soon, everyone put on their backpacks and gathered around me.
Chapter completed!
