Chapter 43 What was dug up

.I felt inexplicably and immediately leaned over and pushed the fat man's feet away. I saw that a part of the incense ash was embedded in the subtle gaps on the surface of the stone to form some lines.                                                                                                    

I am a man who works on rubbing and knows that this is a rubbing principle. Using very delicate powder to show shallow marks on the ground is similar to the necessary method of many spy dramas. Use pencils to apply sticky notes to paper. I got the message written on the previous page. Obviously someone carved something on the rock surface in front of this shrine.

I became excited and poured over the incense burner and poured all the incense ash on the ground, and began to apply it with both hands on the rock surface. Soon, more subtle lines began to appear on the ground and rock walls.

"This is..." The fat man also made a strange appearance.

"It should have been carved by the craftsman who dug this hole." I said.

"I think Secretary Lei will appear so soon!" said the fat man, "The efficiency is much higher than that of our world."

"Don't say so quickly." I said, wiping all the ash evenly.

He squatted down and helped the oil bottle come up. We covered the incense ash with a large area. Soon a piece of crooked words appeared in front of us.

Each of these characters has chess sizes and are all carved in traditional Chinese style. Some are almost blurry, but there are a lot of them, including thirty or forty large and small.

The notes should be carved by one person.

The characters are Chinese characters, but I have never seen some of them before, which should be dialect pronunciation.

The fat man wondered: "Did the craftsmen before discussed things on this stone rock like us?"

I shook my head and said that these words were not continuous. Obviously, the person wrote a whole paragraph, but the marks were very shallow, just like us, it should have been simply drawn on the rock wall with stones without using carving tools.

What kind of person writes these words in front of this statue of god for what purpose? There is no way to remember, but the key should be in the words.

I recognized the words as I read them vertically and couldn't recognize them carefully, and then re-carved them on one side with a stone.

It's a very simple sentence.

November and seventh.

There are sixteen on the east wall from seven feet left.

The western wall is three feet from the left.

There are tens of them from the north wall five feet left.

The south wall is four from six feet left.

It is necessary to dig out within three days to resume work.

"Is this a record of... a mining measurement?" I hesitated.

The whole sense of language seems to be a message that a foreman left for others before leaving and there is a reminder: count it carefully. It seems that the superior wrote a subordinate.

"Southeast, southwest and northwest?" The fat man looked around, "Is it a record of the distribution of jade veins?"

The direction of my head was that the jade vein was formed naturally and that there was no use in determining what was left of a few feet on a section. "There are sixteen", "There are seven", "There are ten", and "There are four" seemed to be a kind of marking the number of things he was counting on the wall.

After looking at the east wall, there was nothing but the jade veins and the rocks. The dark jade veins were naturally wrinkled and wrinkled. The complexity of the blood vessels like rocks could not be expressed by a small number as small as "Sixteen". And he finally said: It would take three days to dig and resume work to say that the "Sixteen" and "Seven" representing things hindered the continued mining.

What is it? Is it a rock spirit with extremely hard stone veins? But how can it be dug out within three days if the rock spirit is so hard that it weighs 100 tons?

We all stood up and walked to the far left of the cave wall to the east, measuring seven feet away with our fingers to see what was in that part.

After seven feet, there were still countless dark green traces on the surface of the rock.

The fat man and I looked at each other in front of each other, in fact, we looked at the rock surface here very carefully, even if we didn't look at it like this, we knew that we couldn't see anything on the surface.

"Will the things he wrote on it have been dug out?"

There is this possibility, but after thinking about it, I had a very strange idea in my mind.

I returned to the shrine and put the incense ash on the ground back into the incense burner. Then I took it to the rock wall and grabbed it and applied it on it.

At first, there was nothing, but after applying it for a few rounds, it turned out that the lines appeared on it as if they were outlines of something.

"Hey?" the fat man said in surprise, "How did you know?"

"That kind of message is too vague. The final message in the summary will definitely leave a mark on the rock surface." I continued to smear.

Soon an irregular multilateral outline appeared on the stone. I pulled my powerful searchlight from my body and turned on it. The outline was very obvious, just like when drawing and drafting, using straight short lines to outline the general appearance of the object.

However, we did not see from the veins of the rock that any shape related to this outline seemed to be a reference for cutting by randomly drawn on the rock wall.

But even so, I still feel cold all over my body. Many fragments in my mind are starting to combine various combinations. I already know that there must be something in this rock wall, otherwise the outline will not be carved here. They want to dig out the things here, so they made rough marks.

Why can't you see it? Is it because the method is wrong?

Thinking of me, I asked, "Who do you know what special process they have when mining jade ore?"

The fat man shook his head and said, "Didn't he use explosives?"

But the oil bottle said: "First burn it with fire and then splash it with cold water to make the stone crack naturally."

"Splash with water? Go! Go and fetch water!" I immediately said that I didn't know what I wanted to prove, but I had a strong intuition in my heart that was facing the key!

I rushed to the hole on the other side and tied the left trousers of the diving suit with knots, then filled it with water, and carried it back and grabbed it with the fat man and poured it on the rock wall.

The color of the rocks became darker due to water seepage.

Take a few steps back and look at the part of the jade vein on the surface of the rock that has been splashed with water has become blurred and the other parts have become smooth and transparent. It turns out that these stones are also jade, but the content is different, so they are called ordinary rocks by those dark green jade.

At the same time, we saw a faint shadow appearing in the rock wall.
