I looked at the printout of the silk book that was full of words, and then looked at Third Uncle's expression. It didn't look like he was joking. Could it be that Third Uncle was so detached that he could read the paintings from the words? No matter how you look at this crooked old man who usually eats, drinks, whores and gambles, he doesn't have any immortality.

The third uncle could not help but tremble with excitement, and said to himself: "Where did these people get such good things? Why have I never been able to touch them? This time is really a blessing. It seems that they still don't understand this." What is it, we can wash out this batch of sand before they do."

I was greatly confused: "Uncle, maybe I'm a little stupid, but can you really read the map from such small characters?"

"What do you know? This is called calligraphy and painting, which is to write down the detailed geographical location of that place in words. If it were someone else, it would be really difficult for others to understand it. Fortunately, your third uncle, I still have some experience. In this world, I can understand it. I'm afraid there are no more than 10 people in this thing besides me."

My third uncle doesn't have any other skills, but he has been very good at studying those weird and unorthodox ancient texts and code words since he was a child. In one sentence, he will study whatever is rare, such as the Five Wooden Calligraphy and Pictures of Xixia, the earliest Jurchen He can tell every word in a word. So I'm not surprised at all that he knows about Lao Shizi's calligraphy and painting.

But he is the type of person who will behave when he gets an advantage. You have to pretend to be stupid in front of him, otherwise he will send you away with just one sentence. So I pretended to be very stupid and asked him: "Oh, what's up there? Doesn't it say go left and then right, turn right when you see the big tree in front of you, see a well and drill down? Like this?"

The third uncle sighed: "Confucianism cannot be taught. Your understanding is so poor. It seems that our family will be finished by your generation."

When I saw him like this, he was really sighing. He seemed to be speaking from the bottom of his heart. I couldn't help but feel funny: "Then what do you think it is like? My father didn't teach me, and this thing is not innate."

He clucked his lips proudly and said, "This kind of calligraphy and painting is actually a kind of code. It has a strict format. As long as you draw what is written in it according to its format, it will be a complete map. So don't underestimate this." It's just a few words in a silk book, but I don't know how complicated the information inside is. Maybe it even clearly marks where and how many bricks were used."

I became interested as soon as I heard it. I thought that since I was a child, my family has never let me go out to practice. This time I must let my third uncle take me to see it and touch a few treasures to tide me over my financial crisis. . While thinking about this, he asked him: "Then can you tell whose tomb is written in it, or whether it is the owner with a more prominent background?"

The third uncle smiled proudly: "I can't fully understand it now, but this tomb should belong to a nobleman from the Lu State during the Warring States Period. The location of his tomb was recorded on this silk book using this secret method of calligraphy and painting. It shows that this person must have a very high status, and this cemetery must be very secretive and aggressive, so it must be worth visiting."

I saw the way his eyes were shining, and I felt strange. This old guy was usually too lazy to take a step forward. Could it be that he wanted to take action personally this time? That was truly an anecdote for the ages, so I quickly asked him: "What? Third uncle, are you really planning to dig out this sand yourself?"
