The call got through quickly. I was afraid of wasting time, so I didn’t bother to say anything more. I asked straight to the point: “Uncle Dong, I’m taking the liberty to call you. I want to ask how many meters was one foot equal to in the Ming Dynasty?
"
Professor Dong was a little surprised: "That's what you're asking?"
"Yes! There's something urgent."
Professor Dong thought for a while and said: "During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a carpenter's foot was 31.1 centimeters today. Calculated in this way, one foot is 311 centimeters. It is about 22 centimeters shorter than the current foot."
"I know! Thank you, Uncle Dong!" I was about to hang up the phone when Professor Dong on the other end of the phone asked again: "By the way, I was just about to ask you, is Xiaodan okay?"
I was slightly startled, what's going on? Why did Professor Dong suddenly ask me such a question without thinking? After calming down, I answered honestly: "Uncle Dong, I've been a little busy recently and haven't had much contact with Xiaodan.
Woolen cloth!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished speaking, I heard Professor Dong on the other end of the phone say in shock: "What did you say! Isn't Xiaodan with you?"
"No!" I quickly asked: "Uncle Dong, did something happen?"
Professor Dong said in a hurried tone: "Xiao Dan said a few days ago that he was going out with some friends for two days. I always thought he was going out with you, because I went to your store and found that you were not there."
"Then didn't you call her and ask?"
"I called, but she didn't get through. I also called your number, but it didn't get through. I was thinking that she must be with you, maybe she went on an adventure somewhere, and the phone couldn't get through because the signal was not very good.
So I didn’t think much about it.”
After listening to what Professor Dong said, I realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly said: "Uncle Dong, please don't be anxious. Call the police first. I'm in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi now. I'll be back as soon as I finish my work."
"Okay! Okay! I'll call the police now!" After Professor Dong finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose in my heart. Dong Xiaodan is missing? Is it related to the people in the cult? The people in the cult attacked her and Professor Dong when they were in Tibet, and after we rescued them, they
At night, the owl monster sneaked into Doma Temple again to take Dong Xiaodan away. It can be seen that they were eyeing Dong Xiaodan, but why did they focus on Dong Xiaodan?
I was feeling puzzled when Wuchenzi asked from the side: "I saw that my benefactor looked sad, but what trouble did he encounter?"
Only then did I come back to my senses and said solemnly: "A friend of mine is missing. I'm worried that she may have fallen into the hands of someone from a cult."
"I heard my benefactor mention the people in the cult many times. Who are the people in the cult?"
"It's hard to explain this matter. I'll tell you later. Let's dig out the bone slips quickly."
I took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then continued to measure with the measuring ruler. According to the conversion ratio Professor Dong told me, I quickly determined the specific location four feet and nine feet away from the ancient locust tree.
He took out a folding shovel from his backpack and hurriedly started digging.
Because it had rained not long ago, the soil was relatively loose. After digging for a while, I dug out a pit nearly one meter deep, but I didn't find anything. I was wondering if it was
I dug in the wrong place and planned to try another place. The shovel suddenly hit something that looked like a hard rock. I was startled. I quickly peeled away the soil and took a look. It turned out to be a dark black wooden box!
Wu Chenzi saw this and immediately said: "This is the wooden box that Pindao buried back then! The bone slips are inside!"
I didn't expect to find it. I couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised and quickly dug out the wooden box.
The wooden box is not very big, it is rectangular, about a foot long, and about half a foot wide and high. It doesn't feel like it is made of ordinary wood, because it is quite heavy in the hand, as if it is holding a stone.
.
"Senior Wuchenzi, besides the bone slips, are there other gold, silver and jewelry inside? Why is it so heavy?" I asked Wuchenzi.
Wuchenzi replied: "It's not that the things inside are heavy, but that the wooden box itself is quite heavy."
"What kind of wood is this made of?" I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Gloomy Ebony!"
When I heard the word gloomy ebony, I couldn't help but be slightly startled, and immediately thought of the gloomy wooden coffin I saw in the evil stone tomb. It was in that coffin that I came into contact with the dragon armor inscriptions for the first time.
Unexpectedly, Wuchenzi used gloomy wood to pack this set of bone slips. I couldn't wait to open the wooden box, but I found a copper lock hanging on the wooden box.
Since more than five hundred years have passed, the copper lock has long been rusted into copper lumps. I was trying to find a stone to smash the copper lock open when Wuchenzi stepped forward, raised his hand and shot a shot at the copper lock.
Amidst the black energy, the copper lock immediately burst into pieces and fell to the ground.
I quickly opened the lid of the wooden box and looked inside. Sure enough, it was a scroll of bones.
There was a burst of joy in my heart, and I was about to take out the bone slips to take a look. Wuchenzi said from the side: "They will come out soon! My benefactor, please put the bone slips away quickly."
When I heard this, I quickly put the bone slips into my backpack and was about to throw the gloomy wooden box into the grass, but I was stopped by Wuchenzi: "My benefactor, please don't throw the wooden box around, lest anyone discover that you are setting up trouble."
, you’d better bury it in the pit again.”
"Holy shit, is this too late?"
"My benefactor just throws the wooden box into the pit!"
At this time, I had vaguely heard Wen Qingshan's voice. It was obvious that he was speaking loudly on purpose to attract my attention. In the moment of desperation, I couldn't care about so much and hurriedly threw the wooden box into the pit.
He grabbed the shovel and prepared to shovel back the soil piled aside.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wuchenzi turned into a black whirlwind and rolled up the pile of soil. In an instant, sand and rocks were flying, and I quickly stepped aside.
But after a while, before I could even recover what was going on, I regained my composure. I took a closer look and saw that the pit had been filled up, and Wuchenzi had disappeared.
At this time, the young Taoist priest happened to lead Wen Qingshan, Jianjian and Zhang Qingyuan out of the cave.
The young Taoist priests inevitably noticed the newly filled pit, so I hurried forward to meet them and asked them, "How is it inside?"
Wen Qingshan said with a smile: "It is indeed a Taoist blessed land. There is indeed a cave in it." As he answered, he winked at me. I immediately understood and nodded, indicating that I had succeeded.
The young Taoist priest didn't notice anything unusual at all and led us out of the valley. On the way back to the hotel, Wen Qingshan couldn't wait to ask me: "Shi Yu, have you already obtained the Millennium Fire Ganoderma?"
Because I didn't tell him about the bone slips before, I only said that I came to Longhu Mountain to find the Millennium Ganoderma lucidum, so he always thought that I was collecting the Millennium Fire Ganoderma lucidum.
At this point, I can only tell the truth: "I didn't find the Millennium Fire Ganoderma, but I found something else."
"What?" Wen Qingshan asked.
I took out the bone slip from my backpack, handed it to Wen Qingshan, and said, "This is the bone slip."
"Bone slip!?" Wen Qingshan took the bone slip from my hand with a surprised expression on his face.
I nodded and said: "Actually, I came to Longhu Mountain this time, on the one hand, to find the thousand-year-old fire Ganoderma lucidum, and on the other hand, I also wanted to get this bone slip. This bone slip was made by senior Wuchenzi in the Five Hundred Years.
It was buried here years ago.”
"It's been buried for five hundred years and it's still here!" Jianjian was a little surprised.
Wen Qingshan said: "The valley is hidden, and it is also a Taoist holy land. It is normal that no one has discovered it. But, what is so special about this bone slip?"
"You'll know after you open it and take a look." I said.
Wen Qingshan immediately spread out the bone slips. He stared at the bone slips for a while, suddenly raised his head and looked at me and said, "Could these be dragon armor inscriptions!?"
"That's right! It's Long Jiawen!"
"Then can you understand what is written on it?" Wen Qingshan asked hurriedly.
"I haven't had time to look at it yet! We don't have to rush this matter. We'll talk about it later. There is one more important thing right now." I said as I took the bone slips back from Wen Qingshan's hand.
"Are you talking about looking for Millennium Fire Ganoderma?" Wen Qingshan thought that was what I was talking about.
I shook my head and said, "No! Thousand-year-old Fire Ganoderma can only be discussed next time. We have to rush back to Xiangsha!"
"Why?" Jianjian asked in confusion.
I took a deep breath and said slowly: "I called Professor Dong just now and he told me that Dong Xiaodan was missing."
"What!? My sister-in-law is missing!?" Jianjian exclaimed.
Wen Qingshan frowned and asked quickly: "What's going on? How did she disappear?"
"The specific situation is not clear yet. She has been missing for two days. I am worried that she may have something to do with someone from the cult."
Wen Qingshan immediately said: "That matter should not be delayed, let's go back to Xiangsha now!"
The three of us went back to the hotel, picked up our luggage, and drove to Xiangsha in a hurry. On the way, I called Lin Keer to find out more about the situation. Lin Keer told me that Dong Xiaodan had invited her for a job a few days ago.
It was a one-week vacation and she didn't say where she was going. However, she felt that something was not right about Dong Xiaodan's expression at that time.
After listening to what Lin Ke'er said, I realized that something was not right, so I called several of Dong Xiaodan's best friends. Without exception, they had no idea about Dong Xiaodan's whereabouts, and they didn't even listen to what she said.
Have you ever thought about where to travel?
The situation seems to have become more complicated. If Dong Xiaodan really plans to travel, it is impossible for everyone to know her whereabouts. From this, it seems that she must have encountered something difficult when she asked Lin Keer for leave. But the problem is
Why didn't she tell Professor Dong or call me when she encountered something difficult? Could it be that she was being threatened?
