Chapter 38 Footprints

"Take you to see the night view! Why are you yelling so hard!" I couldn't see anyone, so I could only hear Chen Jiansheng's complaints.

In panic, I looked for a flashlight and almost cursed, "Look at the night scene."

Before I could turn on the flashlight, the next second, I looked at what was happening in front of me and was so shocked that I couldn't speak.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

What I saw was not ordinary fire. Nor was it fireflies.

It is a group of vegetation that glows with pale golden light.

Looking around, there are countless flowers, plants and trees all around, all emitting little bits of yellow light, a sea of ​​stars...

The impression was really profound.

I will never forget this scene.

The whole process probably lasted less than three minutes.

The darkness dissipated and we saw each other again.

Sister Hong and I were both shocked by the brief scene just now, but Chen Jiansheng looked excited: "How? I didn't lie to you, did I? Such a wonderful scene is hard to find in the world."

Some friends may ask, why do trees and flowers glow yellow? Some may say that I am talking nonsense.

A mole told me the answer.

After she recovered from the shock, she stood up and walked forward. She picked a small flower, frowned, and looked at the flower in a daze.

Then she handed me the flowers and let me see them.

I saw that the edge of this little red flower was covered with a layer of light moss. The moss was so thin that it would be difficult to spot it without picking it off and taking a closer look. She scraped off a little of the moss with her fingernails and put it in her clothes.

Cover it tightly.

After seeing it, Sister Hong said in surprise: "It emits a very faint yellow light. If I guessed correctly, this may be golden moss."

What is golden moss?

Most ordinary people have never heard of it, but I think if there are some sophisticated flower lovers, they may have heard of it to some extent.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, someone worshiped a kind of moss in the palace. It was light green in color and looked like a yellow star at night. If it was thrown on the water, it would sparkle and shine with golden light. This is "You"

Records in "Yang Za Ji".

In addition, the ancient Wang Jia's "Supplementary Notes" said: "Liang Guo presented golden moss, which was golden in color and spread over the waves. The light shone in the sun. Those who were lucky enough to be in the palace were rewarded with two coins, which were placed on the lacquer plate.

, the room is filled with light, and the strange plantings can be described as bright moss at night.”

There are many records of this moss in ancient documents. People who have never seen it may say that the ancients were bragging, but I have seen it... Sister Hong has also seen it, and Chen Jiansheng even more

in this way.

"How's it going? Is it a strange sight? You've never seen it before," Chen Jiansheng said proudly.

Sister Hong wiped her hands, looked around and said, "I didn't expect that such a rare thing would be handed down to the world... It's an eye-opener."

"Haha, that goes without saying. Don't talk about you guys. I was shocked the first time I saw you."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the next good thing," Chen Jiansheng patted the dirt on his clothes and continued to lead the way.

On the way, Sister Hong frowned and looked worried, so I asked her what was wrong.

She turned to look at me and whispered: "Yunfeng, it's possible. Yao Yumen and Baotou are right. We are in a place we shouldn't be..."

"Hey, forget it, now that it's over, let's take it one step at a time."

........

An hour later, Chen Jiansheng led us to a place. This place was a dirt slope, only one meter high. It looked a bit like the small graves on mass graves.

"Just wait, I'll show it to you." After saying that, he stepped forward to dig the soil with his bare hands.

"Huh? Where have you gone?"

"I obviously hid it here last time, where did it go?" He dug around randomly.

"Chen Tugong, what are you doing? What are you hiding here?"

He dug hard at the soil, looked back at me, and said: "It's a jade axe. I picked it up accidentally. It's made of gold and silver. It has a small map that I can't understand engraved on it. He

Damn it, where did it go? I can still run away on my own."

The "yue" is a kind of ritual instrument popular in the late Shang Dynasty and the middle and early Western Zhou Dynasty. Most of it is made of bronze, and a few are made of jade. Its status is equivalent to that of the later tiger charm, and it is a very high-level instrument.

The emperor has nine tripods, four horses, and one axe. This is a system that ordinary princes and kings would never dare to surpass, let alone the middle and early Western Zhou Dynasty when the country was strong.

If what Chen Jiansheng said is true and he discovered the yue, it can explain one thing.

The owner of the tomb is not afraid of Emperor Zhou.

If the owner of the tomb is that mustard warrior, in short, if he doesn’t care about you, the Emperor of Zhou, I will leapfrog my rank and use the Nine Cauldrons, Four Horses and One Yue.

But one thing I can't figure out is that Chen Jiansheng could pick up such an important thing casually? He also said that there is a map engraved on the axe. What map is it? Could it be a map for going out?

All this cannot be determined before seeing the real thing. Maybe he lied, which is also possible.

"Holy shit, where the hell did it go? I even marked it, but it's gone!" Chen Jiansheng rummaged through the mound, but he couldn't find what he was talking about.

I wondered: "Chen Tugong, is it possible that you remembered it wrong? You thought something else was a yue? If you weren't the Emperor of Zhou, there would be no such thing in the tomb."

"Fuck," he glared at me: "I have been in the industry for more than ten years, how can I still admit my mistakes like that!"

Sister Hong also nodded in agreement, "It's empty talk."

Seeing that we didn't believe each other, he also got angry.

"Pull it down. Believe it or not, I still can't believe it. I can't find it!" He prepared to dig and turn over the soil again.

I shook my head and turned to look around.

The lighting is not good now and the surroundings are dim.

I couldn't see clearly. In the blur, I seemed to see a short black figure wearing a hat under a big tree about a hundred meters ahead. He was hiding behind the tree and peeking at our group.

"who!"

"Who's there!" I turned on the flashlight in panic.

"What's wrong, Yunfeng, what did you see?" Sister Hong was startled by my sudden voice.

Looking at it, there is nothing under the tree now.

"Sister Hong, I saw a black figure wearing a hat. He was very short, less than 1.5 meters tall," I said anxiously.

"The black figure wearing a hat? Very short? Yunfeng, are you too tired and your eyesight is dazzled?" Sister Hong glanced under the tree and shook her head, obviously not believing me.

I know my own situation best, so I firmly said that what I saw just now was correct, that I was not hallucinating, and that there was just a dwarf with a hat peeking at us.

Finally, I convinced Sister Hong and we decided to go to the big tree to investigate.

When we got to the place, there was nothing but flowers and plants around, and we didn't see any dwarfs wearing hats.

"Boy, I think you are just dazzled. What dwarf is there? Is there Snow White?" Chen Jiansheng teased me.

I was so angry that I just wanted to refute him.

"Wait." Sister Hong interrupted me.

"Look...look, what is that? Is it a footprint?"

Looking along where Sister Hong pointed, I saw a pair of very small footprints left on the soft soil, one size smaller than a three-inch golden lotus, and looked like those of a five or six-year-old child.

There are no shoes on these footprints.

There are only four toes and one thumb is missing.
