Chapter 103 Two Strange Books
So how did Mr. Zhao discover a cave? This is still a mystery.
For a period of time after that, I often stood next to the huge rock at the edge of the village, looking at the cave below in trance. How could ordinary people think that the hole under this rock could lead to dozens of miles away?
, and there is very likely to be a large amount of gold and silver treasures inside, as well as the unknown monster. This is just like "The Chronicles of Narnia" - four children accidentally opened the closet and found that from the closet,
It can lead to another strange world. In that world, they found talking animals, half-humans, half-animals, etc. The small hole under this boulder is just like the wardrobe in "The Legend of Namibia".
It is the entrance to another mysterious world.
But how can I enter that world? Enter through the hole dozens of miles away? But in the situation I encountered last time, not only was there the danger of being attacked by various "monsters", but also how to deal with the super maze-like layout?
?For this reason, I have also thought about using other methods to explore this extremely mysterious cave. One of them is to enter through the small entrance under this boulder. Of course, because the entrance is too small and the structure inside is not clear.
, so people cannot go in rashly. But is it possible to find a remote-controlled car with a camera attached to it and put it in through this small hole? But once it was implemented, various technical problems were encountered.
Therefore, this solution is not feasible.
Finally, it was Sister Li who suggested that we need to find a breakthrough from Li Xiaoli and Mr. Zhao. In other words, since these two people can find and easily get in and out of the mysterious cave, they must have found a unique method. We directly ask them
Just learn it.
I think what Sister Li said is very reasonable. There was no high technology at that time. Since they could find and enter the cave, they must have their own secrets. The ancients did have many extremely clever ways to deal with many things, and we modern people have all
It may not be possible to think of it. For example, in ancient times, how did people launch a large ship into the water? They had many methods, one of which was to pave a road with wheat straw. Wait until early morning in autumn, and there would be a gap on the surface of the wheat straw.
With this layer of frost, it will be very slippery. Therefore, during this time, you can drag the boat to this special "wheat straw road" and you can easily drag the boat into the river.
In particular, Mr. Zhao is a descendant of Emperor Jianwen. It is said that he not only inherited various talents from Emperor Jianwen, but also learned many amazing skills from the two ancestral books. In addition, he also practiced with Zen Master Yungu for many years.
, he can definitely be regarded as an extraordinary person, and it is his extraordinary ability and wisdom that not only allowed him to survive in troubled times, but also lived a pretty good life.
As Sister Li said, starting from Mr. Zhao, you might be able to find a way to enter the cave. But how to do it specifically? Sister Li has already thought about it - starting with the two books handed down from their family. Because only from
From these two books, we can see what skills Mr. Zhao has that ordinary people do not have. From these unique skills, we may be able to discover the method Mr. Zhao used to find the cave.
When we told our cousin about Sister Li's idea, he was as excited as a child and kept saying, "The future life is scary." He said that he had never thought of such a method. He kept saying, Sister Li
Sure enough, she has inherited the excellent genes of their family. Sister Li was a little embarrassed to praise her, but it can be seen that she still appreciates the praise in her heart.
What makes us even more happy is that my cousin actually owns these two books. Because when doing research, my cousin pays great attention to the collection and organization of various historical materials. He often tells us that a qualified historical researcher must have
Two skills: one is the ability to collect data. Only by collecting enough data can history be restored in detail from all angles; the other skill is the ability to analyze data and be able to
Find a unique perspective to study these materials. For example, Ji Xianlin was able to analyze the pronunciation of "sugar" in different languages where sugar was produced, when it was produced, and through what channels it was spread to China; Chen Yinke entered the country by studying Yang Guifei.
When she was in the palace, she was a virgin to prove that the Li Tang Dynasty had the blood of the Hu people.
Therefore, under the guidance of these two principles, my cousin always tried his best to search for various information and analyze and study these information from different angles. When he read the record about Mr. Zhao, he noticed that the article mentioned
Two books, my cousin thought, since these two mysterious books were handed down from the ancestors of the Zhao family, they might have been passed down.
So he went several times to the county town where Mr. Zhao settled, more than a hundred miles away, to look for Mr. Zhao's descendants. God paid off, and after some hard work, he really found them. At first, his cousin thought
, these two books are passed down from the ancestors of the Zhao family, and they will definitely be treated as treasures and will not be easily shown to outsiders.
After asking around, he finally found the patriarch of the Zhao family, an old man in his seventies. He carefully inquired about the whereabouts of these two books. He was afraid that they would reject him, so he even took out his Provincial Cultural Bureau consultant certificate.
What comes to mind is that when the old patriarch of the Zhao family heard that he was from the Provincial Cultural Bureau, and saw that his cousin was a typical scholar, he was very fond of him. Not only did he give his cousin a positive answer, but he also took the initiative to show
Here are these two books for my cousin to read.
The old patriarch said that these are indeed two books passed down by the ancestors of their Zhao family, but now is the time of peace and prosperity, and people are busy doing business to make money, and there is not much interest in such ancestral books. If it is a medical book, say
Maybe you can get some secret recipes in it to make money, but these two books record some weird things that no one is interested in. They are just things handed down from ancestors, just as a souvenir.
I occasionally take them out and look through them, but I can’t understand many of them and can’t stand them. If my cousin wants to study them, feel free to take them.
My cousin said that he remembered an English proverb at that time, "One person's trash may be another person's treasure." To him, these two books were really treasures. But he didn't expect them to be treasures.
He got it so easily. But he was a little bit emotional, because it was these two books that ensured the survival and continuation of their family in troubled times, but they, the descendants, actually ignored these two books.
The value of it is so embarrassing.
After my cousin brought these two books back, he carefully took pictures and photocopied them all, then wrapped the original books and respectfully returned them to the head of the Zhao family, and asked him to keep these two books well, and said that he hoped
These two books will always be passed down in the Zhao family, because these two books are their "book of survival" and their "book of luck".
Sister Li and I quickly asked my cousin if he had read these two books. My cousin said that he had not only read these two books in a general sense, but had also tested them with various modern equipment such as ultraviolet rays to detect these two books.
The age of the two books, and through the detection of these modern equipment, we can also see a lot of information left on the books that is invisible to the naked eye.
After listening to my cousin talk about this, I couldn't help but show off my knowledge and interjected: "I can understand what my cousin said. For example, if you want to judge whether a stain is a trace of **, the naked eye is
It cannot be seen, but sometimes it can be distinguished with ultraviolet light, because if it is bacteria, it will emit blue light when exposed to ultraviolet light, but other stains will not."
Sister Li interrupted me coquettishly and said: "Okay, okay, what kind of crooked knowledge do you have? My cousin is talking about business, so don't interrupt me."
I smiled sheepishly and laughed at myself and said, "My cousin praised you so much just now, and I couldn't help but feel a little jealous, so I looked for an opportunity to show off my knowledge and wanted my cousin to praise me too."
My words made them both laugh. Although my cousin is an old man in terms of age, he is always so full of energy for some reason, and he is not as pedantic and serious as ordinary old people. He is always with me and me.
When we were together, I felt that he could integrate into us very well. This may be the charm of knowledge and cultivation.
My cousin seemed to have noticed that my relationship with Sister Li was unusual, but he seemed to be happy to see our relationship progress. He looked at my quarrel with Sister Li lovingly and with a smile on his face, which made me and Sister Li
My sister felt very warm.
My cousin took a sip of water and then started talking.
That book was densely packed with annotations and supplementary notes written by Mr. Zhao. During the circulation of this book, Mr. Zhao was the only descendant of the Zhao family who wrote so many records in the book.
The book records such an incident, which is a bit incredible.
At that time, due to the strict arrangement between the nunnery owner and the Zhang family, Xiaoli's plan to find the site for the Zhang family's tomb could not be realized, so he asked Mr. Zhao for advice on how to solve this dilemma. After three days of isolation, Mr. Zhao
After a lot of thinking, I finally came up with a solution that no one expected.
On the evening of the fourth day, he quietly called Xiao Li and made him a request - to go and see the Jewish cemetery. This puzzled Xiao Li very much, but he knew that if Mr. Zhao did this, he would inevitably
He made sense, so he readily agreed. Not only that, Mr. Zhao asked Xiaoli if there were any close servants whom he trusted, because after they arrived at the Jewish cemetery, they still had special "work" to do and needed someone.
Helpers, but they must be confidants, because this kind of information must not leak out. Xiaoli followed Mr. Zhao's request and found two confidants, and also brought two shovels - this made Xiaoli murmur in his heart.
:Are you going to dig that Jew’s grave?
Xiao Li still has an inexplicable feeling of hatred towards this Jew, because he probably knows the shameful history of the Jew and his grandmother Zhang, and his dearest grandfather was almost killed by this Jew. But he really
