Chapter 363: Ancient building in Yinshan · What was dug out

I felt inexplicable. I immediately leaned in and turned the fat man's feet away to take a closer look. Sure enough, part of the incense ash was embedded in the tiny gaps on the surface of the stone, forming some lines. And obviously, these lines are very round, not the lines of the stone itself.
I did rubbing, knowing that this is a rubbing principle. It uses a very fine powder to show the shallow marks on the ground, similar to what is necessary in many spy plays. Use a pencil to smear the note paper to get the one written on the previous page. Message, apparently someone has carved something on the rock surface in front of this shrine.
I was excited, and I turned the incense burner upside down, poured all the incense ashes on the ground and the rock surface, and started to apply it with both hands. Soon, more fine lines began to appear on the ground and rock walls.
"This is ──" The fat man also found something strange.
"It should have been carved by a craftsman who dug this hole." I said.
"Look, Secretary Lei showed up so quickly!" Fatty said, "The efficiency is much higher than ours."
"Don't talk so fast," I said, smearing all the ash evenly.
He squatted down to help, the dull oil bottle also came up, we covered a large area with incense ash. Soon, a crooked text appeared in front of me.
Each of these characters has the size of chess, all of them are traditional, and they are incredibly scribbled, some are almost indistinct, but the number is quite large, there are thirty or forty, large and small.
Look at the handwriting, it should be carved by a person.
The characters are Chinese characters, but some of them have never been seen before, they should be pronounced in dialect.
The fat man wondered: "Are the craftsmen before us like us also discussing things on this rock?"
I shook my head and said no, these words are continuous. Obviously, the person who wrote it is a whole paragraph, but the score is very shallow. Like us, it should be simply drawn on the rock wall with stone. It is not used. Carving tools.
What kind of person is, and for what purpose, write these words in front of this god? I can't think of it, but the key should be in the text.
I recognized it, the text was read vertically, except for the unrecognizable, carefully recognized word by word, and then carved in stone aside.
Is a very simple sentence.
November 7th.
The east wall, seven feet from the left, has sixteen.
West Wall, three feet from the left, seven.
North wall, five feet from the left, ten.
South wall, six feet from the left, there are four.
Counting, must be dug out within three days to resume work.
"This is a record of mining measurement?" I hesitated.
Looking at the whole language sense, it seems to be a message, a hint for others before a foreman leaves, and there is a charge: count. It seems that the superior wrote a subordinate.
"Southeast, Northwest?" The fat man looked around, "Is the distribution record of the jade veins?"
I shook my head, the direction of the jade veins was completely natural, and there was no regularity. It was not useful to just set a few feet on a section. "There are sixteen," "seven," "ten," and "four." It seems to be a kind of counting mark, he counts things on the wall.
Looked at the east wall, there was nothing on it, only the jade veins and rocks were naturally creased, and the dark jade veins were complicated, like blood vessels in rocks, and could not be represented by a number as small as sixteen. And he finally had a sentence: It must be excavated within three days to resume work, as if to say that the things represented by "sixteen" and "seven" hindered the continued mining.
what is it then? Is it the extremely hard rock essence in the stone veins? But Yan Jing is deadly hard and weighs a hundred tons. How can it be dug out within three days?
We all stood up, walked to the far left of the east cave wall, and measured the distance of seven feet with our fingers to see what was in that part.
After seven feet, it was still the surface of the rock, with countless dark green traces and nothing.
I looked at each other with the fat face. In fact, we looked at the rock face very carefully. Even if we don't look at it that way, we know that we can't see anything on the surface.
"Is the thing he wrote above already unearthed?"
Has the possibility, but after thinking about it, there is a very strange thought in my mind.
I returned to the shrine, gathered the incense ash from the ground, put it back in the incense burner, then took it to the rock wall, grabbed a hand, and smeared it on top.
At first there was nothing, but after a few rounds of painting, it turned out that lines appeared on it, as if it was the outline of something.
"Hey?" The fat man surprised, "How do you know?"
"The kind of message is too vague, it is the final message of the summary type, and it will definitely leave a mark on the rock face." I said, while continuing to smear.
Soon, an irregular polygonal outline appeared on the stone, and I removed my powerful searchlight from my body and turned it on. The outline is very obvious. For example, when drawing a sketch, first outline the outline of the object with straight short lines.
However, we did not see from the veins of the rock any shapes related to this outline, as if drawn randomly on the rock wall, and used as a reference for cutting.
But even so, I still feel cold all over my body, and many fragments in my brain begin to spontaneously carry out various combinations. I already know that there must be something in this rock wall, otherwise, this outline cannot be carved here. They want to dig out the things here, so they made a rough mark.
Why can't I see it? Is it the wrong way?
Thinking about it, I asked, "Who knows, what special process do they have when they mine jade mines?"
The fat man shook his head and said, "Aren't you using explosives?"
But the oil bottle said: "First burn it with fire, then splash it with cold water, so that the stone will naturally crack."
"Splash with water? Let's go to fetch water!" I immediately said, I don't know what I want to prove, but I have a strong intuition in my heart, and I have come across the key!
I rushed into the hole on the other side, knotted the trousers of the diving suit I took off, then filled it with water, backed back, and grabbed the fat man and poured it on the rock wall.
So splashed a dozen times, the color of the rock became darker due to water seepage.
Back a few steps and look again. Due to the splashing of water, the part of the jade veins on the rock surface becomes blurred, and the other parts become smooth and transparent. It turns out that these stones are also jade, but the content is different, so they are reflected by the dark green jade like ordinary rocks.
At the same time, we saw a looming shadow in the rock wall. Is a figure.
