Chapter 1906

When he came to Professor Kang Weimin's study, Kang Weimin locked the door of the study, invited Xu Shaotang to sit down, and immediately said to Xu Shaotang, "show me what you got!"

Professor Kang Weimin has studied ancient culture all his life. Now he suddenly learns that Xu Shaotang may have something related to ancient culture here. Of course, he is very excited.

Looking at Professor Kang Weimin's exuberant appearance, Xu Shaotang slowly took the wooden doll out of his pocket and handed it directly to Kang Weimin.

"I bought this wooden doll for 500 million yuan at an auction. The carving of this wooden doll is very fine. Moreover, this kind of wood can't burn rotten and sink into water." Xu Shaotang simply introduced Kang Weimin as like as two peas. "When I was in England yesterday, I saw another wooden doll almost identical to that, but the woman carved on this wooden doll lacks charm."

Full of surprise, Kang Weimin looked up at Xu Shaotang, then lowered his head. While listening to Xu Shaotang's introduction, he picked up the magnifying glass on the table and carefully observed the wooden doll.

Unlike when Xu Shaotang looked at this wooden doll, Kang Weimin looked very carefully and didn't want to miss any details. Maybe this is the so-called profession.

Xu Shaotang didn't disturb Kang Weimin, just sat quietly opposite him, looking at Kang Weimin's careful appearance.

He saw it for more than ten minutes.

More than ten minutes later, Kang Weimin slowly put down the magnifying glass, slightly raised his head and asked, "can I try to burn it with fire?"

"Of course, whatever you want!" Xu Shaotang said, "I've tried it. It's really hard to burn."

Kang Weimin slowly stood up, went to the bookshelf, took out a candle to light, and then carefully put the wooden doll close to the candle.

Maybe he was worried that the wooden doll could not bear the temperature of the flame, so he didn't put it up immediately, just a little bit close to the flame of the candle. Until he was sure that the wooden doll was not damaged in the process of approaching the candle, he boldly put the wooden doll on the flame, and the flame quickly wrapped one end of the wooden doll. However, the wooden doll was safe there, the wooden doll was safe The woman carved by the doll still keeps a faint smile, as if laughing at the low temperature of the flame.

A few minutes later, Kang Weimin blew out the flame of the candle, and then picked up the magnifying glass again to observe the part of the wooden doll that had just been burned by the flame.

"It really doesn't burn!"

Kang Weimin looked at the wooden doll excitedly, put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and said with admiration: "I always thought that my interpretation was wrong or that people in ancient times deliberately exaggerated the facts. I didn't expect that it was really like this. It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Hearing Kang Weimin's words, Xu Shaotang was delighted and asked, "what kind of tree is the wood used for this wooden doll?"

"You wait!"

Kang Weimin quickly stood up, quickly walked to his bookshelf, carefully looked on the bookshelf for a while, and then came to Xu Shaotang with a folder.

He opened the folder in front of Xu Shaotang, pointed to a picture on it, and said in a trembling voice: "you see, this is the record of this kind of tree."

Looking at the photo of Kang Weimin's finger, we can see only a gray stone slab with something similar to ghost symbols on it. It seems that it should be some kind of characters, but Xu Shaotang certainly does not know these characters.

"Professor Kang, you'd better tell me directly what is recorded above." Xu Shaotang raised his head and said to Kang Weimin, "these ancient characters know me, but I don't know them..."

"Sorry, I'm too excited to forget that you don't know these ancient characters!" Kang Weimin patted his forehead, looked at Xu Shaotang awkwardly, and quickly said: "the text above is translated according to our current text, which is: on the coast of the South China Sea, there is a tree lock God, its leaves are grey, its branches are reckless, burning but not damaged, and it sinks into the water."

"Er..."

Xu Shaotang still looked at Kang Weimin with tears and laughter, and said, "Professor Kang, what does this mean? You can translate it. "

He is different from Kang Weimin, who is engaged in the study of ancient culture. He has never been very good at these things that need to be wordy. He can understand the general meaning, but he doesn't understand the details.

"It's so simple and straightforward, I don't understand?" Kang Weimin pointed to the ancient words in the photo and said in a hurry: "the meaning of these words is that near the south coast, there is a tree named suoshen tree. Its leaves are vast and cover the sky and the sun. Its branches are as big as those wild mountains. This kind of tree will not be damaged by fire, and it will sink into the water. The description of the as like as two peas of this wooden doll is exactly the same.

"The lock tree?"

Xu Shaotang frowned slightly and said, "this name is very domineering, but is the branch of this tree as big as a mountain? Isn't that pure bullshit! "

Kang Weimin nodded and said: "it is precisely because of this sentence that I suspect that people in ancient times deliberately exaggerated the facts. However, no matter whether it is exaggerated or not, at least the lock tree is consistent with the characteristics of this wooden doll in the two aspects of not burning rotten and sinking into water!"Xu Shaotang thought for a while, but Professor Kang Weimin did have some truth. At least these two characteristics are consistent with suoshen tree. After a little meditation, Xu Shaotang asked Kang Weimin, "what's the matter with suoshen tree?"

"I don't know that either!" Kang Weimin shook his head and said, "among the limited materials about ancient culture that I have found, it seems that only this stone slab has a description of suoshen tree, and no other materials have been found for the time being."

"If this lock tree is really that big, there should be a lot of records about it!" Xu Shaotang gently knocked on the table, said: "there may be other information, but it has not been discovered."

Imagine that if there is such a big tree in the world now, I believe there will be a lot of reports about it. Even if communication in ancient times was not as developed as it is now, there should be a lot of records about it! Of course, the premise is that there is such a tree. If it is only exaggerated or deified, it may be just such a paragraph.

"Well!" Kang Weimin nodded and said, "I think so too! As for your wooden doll, I don't have any records in the information I find now. "

"That's a pity..."

Xu Shaotang sighed a little and said, "this wooden doll is of great use to me. If Professor Kang finds any records about this wooden doll or the lock tree in the future, please inform me in time. I thank you here!"

With that, Xu Shaotang stood up and bowed deeply to Kang Weimin.
