After listening to Shi Yuejin's words, Zhang Xiaowen also wanted to understand why Shi Yuejin shouted that sentence when he left for the first time. So he said: "So, Brother Shi's family has guarded this demon in such obscurity for hundreds of years?"
Shi Yuejin nodded: "Yes, although nothing unusual has happened for so many years, the ancestors of our family still insisted on their posts. To be honest, if it weren't for my father's persistent persistence, I have left BA County long ago! I don't believe in the demon of the Xie family, the conspiracy of the Yaozu!"
"Then why did you believe it again?" Du Shitou asked.
"There is a saying in our family that the day when Yueshan Temple is in distress is the time to enter the capital. Now that you have found us as Yueshan Temple's helpers, it shows that our family's words are not empty talk, but the emperor has long been gone. , I can’t enter Beijing, I can’t call the police saying there is a demon here, right? So I can only rely on you!"
Unclearly, Zhao Dali asked, "Why do you say that the day of Yueshan Temple's crisis is the time of entering the capital? What is the relationship between the two?"
Tu Shitou patted Zhao Dali’s shoulder: "Dude, is this hard to understand? Yueshan Temple is in trouble, which means Xie Zhao has succeeded. Xie Zhao will definitely find a way to let his son Xie Qin come out, so Brother Shi As Xie Qin's guardian, their family must enter the capital to tell the emperor about the disappearance."
Zhang Xiaowen directly asked Shi Yuejin: "Brother Shi, then we have to be able to enter the underground palace like this. Didn't we mean that we need the help of a copper rooster to enter the underground palace?"
"Yes, the secret of entering the underground palace is actually a formula, the village well is the eye, the three feet is the limit, the bronze chicken croaks, the palace gate suddenly appears! As long as you understand the meaning of this sentence, you can find the entrance to the underground palace!" Shi Yuejin no longer concealed it, and directly told everyone the secret of the family.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaowen had no choice but to ask Shi Yuejin for advice again: "Brother Shi, your family has been aware of this dictum for many years, hasn't it been understood?"
Shi Yuejin shook his head: "Our family has a collar, so we cannot understand the meaning of this sentence! In the early Qing Dynasty, there were two ancestors in the family.
Believing that the Ming Dynasty is dead, there is no need to guard this secret anymore, so I secretly studied the formula, and it didn’t take long for the two ancestors to disappear mysteriously. Since then, no information has been found. Therefore, our family has set a rule not to penetrate this. Sentence formula. "
When everyone heard it, they were a little bit disappointed. How do you understand this intangible formula
Niu Yijun thought for a while and said: "The first two sentences of this sentence are well understood. The village well is the eye, and it should mean that a certain well in the village is the formation hole; The well is three feet away, or it may be down to three feet deep; but it’s hard to understand the crowing of a copper rooster. Does it mean that after arriving at the place with that copper rooster, will it crowed by itself?"
"I've heard this copper chicken crow!" Shi Yuejin's words made everyone interested in an instant, and they all looked at Shi Yuejin.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him again, Shi Yuejin continued: "According to the old people in our county seat, the copper rooster crows punctually every morning long ago, but after a long time, the copper rooster may be broken. That’s why I won’t crow anymore.”
After listening to Zhang Xiaowen excitedly clapped his hands: "I understand, the crowing of the bronze chicken refers to time, that is to say, only when the crowing of the bronze chicken walks to the place indicated by the first two sentences, the palace gate will be stunned. Now!"
Gao Zihan gave Zhang Xiaowen a blank look: "Even if you know what this sentence is for, the first two sentences are the key? Just one sentence for village wells. Do you want to find every well in your county? In case this well has been destroyed. Is it?"
The hope that everyone had just ignited was put out by Gao Zihan again. Zhang Xiaowen stood up: "It's not difficult to find one by one. There are not many wells left. The most worried thing is that the entrance well is destroyed. , That would be troublesome."
Shi Yuejin also stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "There is nothing difficult in the world, I'm afraid of those with a heart! No matter how I wish you success! Hey! It's a goddamn joy to tell the secret in my heart, my mission has been completed, it seems I can finally go out and have a look in the second half of my life!"
Several people returned to the rental house. Zhang Xiaowen shared the information he received today with Chen Pang, Yuer and Hu Xiaomo. In the end, except for Chen Pang.
Except for some surprising performances, the other two people did their own things without any disturbance. Zhang Xiaowen had to give up the idea of getting opinions from the two of them and convened others to discuss the next action plan.
Since only Zhang Xiaowen and Chen Pang were born and raised in Thanh Hoa, they know the current situation of Thanh Hoa City best, and basically others can only follow their suggestions.
"I think we should first figure out the specific time when the copper chicken crows. Although we know that it is early in the morning, it is early morning from 4 to 8 in the morning, right?" Fat Chen took the lead in speaking.
Zhang Xiaowen shook his head, "It's useless, who are you going to confirm now? Tongji hasn't cried a long time ago, so you can't ask for the specific time. I think we should look for the well first and find one. Just stay and wait within three feet of the well to see if there is anything abnormal during this early morning."
"Brother, it's easy for you to say, what if the entrance is under the well? You let a person carry it in the well for 3 or 4 hours just to see if there is any abnormality during this time?" said Fatty Chen.
Zhang Xiaowen nodded firmly: "There is no better way now."
Tu Shitou patted his chest and said, "In fact, it's nothing, just as a morning exercise, I will squat down in the well!"
Zhang Xiaowen gratefully glanced at the earth and stones, and then said: "Let's take turns to stay here! I don't believe I can't find the entrance to this underground palace!"
After the two released their words, the others were not happy to refuse, so Zhang Xiaowen directly expressed his thoughts: "Since everyone agrees to my plan, starting tomorrow, let's mark all the wells in Thanh Hoa City. , And then bit by bit, I guess there are more than a dozen wells left in Thanh Hoa City at most, so we will be able to find the entrance to the underground palace in more than ten days!"
The next day, Zhang Xiaowen specially bought three maps of Qinghua, and then took Gao Zihan with him, Chen Pang with Zhao Dali, and Tu Shitou with Niu Yijun on the street to find a well.
Thanh Hoa City said it was big and not too small, and it took the three groups of people two full days to turn around the streets and alleys of Thanh Hoa City. They didn't even let other people's yards go. Everyone's efforts Next, all the wells of Thanh Hoa City are finally marked on the map!
