Chapter 1793 Zhuge Liang, a wooden cow and a horse

Professor Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "There is such a student. Why? Master Zhang is asking him for something? Do I want me to call him over?"

"No, I just asked casually." I waved my hand and told Professor Zhou not to send him away, so I went downstairs with Li Mazi.

Li Mazi yelled: "When I just heard Xu Shen's name, Professor Zhou's reaction was obviously wrong!"

I smiled and didn't say anything. Indeed, although Professor Zhou quickly reacted, the shock and fear that he had in the moment after hearing my question could not be concealed. Besides, his subsequent questions were too strange. People usually only ask a few questions in an instant when they were nervous. But I don't know how much the secret between him and Xu Shen had to do with this ghost.

Li Mazi was energetic and said that he couldn't sleep when he went back now, so he might as well follow Xu Shen first. The couple should be in a hotel, so it's convenient to follow him, so it's not easy to find after leaving.

I couldn't stop him, anyway, we had to stay busy for several days and nights without sleeping, so we had to let him go first and go back to the store alone.

When I entered the store, I took out the wooden dog from my pocket. For some reason, I didn’t tell Professor Zhou that I would take the wooden dog back for research. Maybe it was because this matter was too strange!

The material of the wooden dog is very old. I looked at it for a long time but couldn't tell which dynasty it was. When I was about to give up, I suddenly remembered someone and quickly took out the phone.

"Master Liang, I am Zhang Jiulin." As soon as the phone was answered, I introduced myself. After a few greetings, I explained my purpose to Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang happened to have time, so he asked me to go there.

I hurriedly picked up the wooden dog and went out. Although Li Mazi and I had some opinions about Mr. Liang because of the business of Jade Fan, when it comes to looking at the baby, only Mr. Liang can see it accurately in Wuhan!

After a while, I entered Mr. Liang's collection shop. He smiled and asked me what I wanted to see.

I took out the wooden dog and placed it on the table: "Mr. Liang, can you help me see what year this thing is?"

"Huh?" Mr. Liang didn't care at first, but when he saw the wooden dog, he immediately became interested and even took out the magnifying glass. However, he held the wooden dog the size of an adult's palm and played with it inch by inch, and he looked at it for almost half an hour.

I couldn't help but wait aside.

Fortunately, he didn't ask me to wait too long. After about forty minutes, he put down his magnifying glass and asked me in surprise where this thing was made? Should I take action?

"Ah?" I was confused by his words. After a while, I realized that this was an object from the client, and at least I had no way to take action.

Mr. Liang was a little disappointed when he heard what I said, but he still did not forget the purpose of me coming to him.

"Do you know the wooden ox and flowing horses of Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period?" Liang did not directly talk about the origin of the wooden dog, but asked another question.

I was stunned: "It's that mountain transport machine?"

Mr. Liang nodded.

I exhaled, of course I knew this wooden ox and flowing horse. This was a mechanism beast invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Zhuge Liang had already made a letter to the army and was preparing to attack the Wei Kingdom in the north. However, because the Shu road was difficult to walk and the mountain road was rugged, transporting food and grass became a very big problem! So Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and flowing horse. According to legend, a wooden ox and flowing horse can carry a "one-year-old grain" that is, 400 kilograms, and can travel more than 30 miles a day.

You should know that such a transportation tool was unprecedented in the Three Kingdoms period and no one came later! At that time, the small human-powered board truck could only be used to pull more than 200 kilograms on the flat ground, not to mention on the mountains, so Zhuge Liang still gained great convenience with the wooden ox and flowing horse.

Even the State of Wei developed a strong interest in the wooden ox and horse. Finally, he sneaked into the grain transport team to seize one, but found that the wooden ox and horse mechanism was too profound and could not be copied at all, so he had to give up in the end.

However, there are too few records about wooden ox and horse flowing in the Three Kingdoms data. Zhuge Liang himself did not leave any notes about wooden ox and horse flowing. Of course, it may be destroyed in the war. Now some experts believe that wooden ox and horse flowing horses are equipped with cow heads on the carriage of a four-wheeler, with double shafts installed on the front and rear support shafts, long and short support rods hinged on the support shaft, and double shafts hinged on the body of the car, shaking the double shaft support rods to support the ground to promote the wheels to rotate. This design can stop at any time whether it is uphill or downhill, and there is no problem with one person to control it. In other words, the thing invented by Zhuge Liang not only can pull things more and save manpower, but it is no wonder it has been passed down for nearly two thousand years.

But I don’t quite understand what Mr. Liang mentioned this at this time, could it be...

"Master Liang, you wouldn't say that this wooden dog was also invented by Zhuge Liang, did you?" I opened my eyes wide. If it were invented by Zhuge Liang, it would be valuable. No, it should be said that if it was invented by Zhuge Liang, then yesterday's Yin Ling was probably Zhuge Liang?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is possible. Zhuge Liang in history also makes good use of formations, and always uses enemies without realizing them.

Mr. Liang shook his head: "It's hard to say, this wooden dog is indeed the same material as the wooden ox and the horse. Look..."

As he said that, Mr. Liang pressed the bottom of the wooden dog, and saw that the wooden dog suddenly creaked and moved, looking like a living thing.

I stared at the wooden dog in surprise, admiring the wisdom of ancient people. Even if this craft is achieved today, many people will definitely not be able to catch up with it!

Mr. Liang explained that both the materials and craftsmanship are exactly the same as Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse, but there are no records of wooden dogs in history, and it may have been done by others during the same period.

"But in terms of the material and craftsmanship, it is very likely that Zhuge Liang was invented." Mr. Liang stared at the wooden dog and his eyes were shiny: "Brother Zhang, if this is solved, the client doesn't want this wooden dog. Remember to come to me and I keep it to satisfy you!"

I laughed twice, without refusing or agreeing. After all, this wooden dog is not mine. If it were mine, it would be good to have a collection from the Three Kingdoms period, and I guess I wouldn't be willing to sell it.

Mr. Liang seemed to see what I was thinking and patted my shoulder: "Let it go, just remember when you want to take action on this thing, just look for me."

"Yes, I will definitely be the first to find Mr. Liang." I smiled faintly, and after greeting Mr. Liang, I returned to the store with the wooden dog in my arms, and then put the wooden dog on the table and stared at it in a daze.

The words "Three Kingdoms" and "Zhuge Liang" were tossing and turning in my mind. I almost believed that the ghost in the wooden dog was Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang devoted his entire life, but failed to support two generations of kings, which led to the decline of Shu Kingdom. It would be possible that he would die with his eyes open and put it in the wooden dog.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone that was put aside rang. When I saw that it was Li Mazi's call, I quickly picked it up.
