Chapter 1906 Lock God Tree?
Chapter 1906 Lock God Tree?
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, and now he suddenly learned that Xu Shaotang may have something related to ancient culture, of course he is extremely excited.

Seeing Professor Kang Weimin's enthusiastic expression, Xu Shaotang slowly took out the wooden doll from his pocket and handed it directly to Kang Weimin.

"I bought this wooden doll at an auction for [-] million yuan. The carving of this wooden doll is very fine. Moreover, this kind of wood will not rot when it is burned, and it will sink in water." Xu Shaotang briefly introduced Kang Weimin. This wooden doll, "When I was in England yesterday, I also saw another wooden doll that was almost exactly the same as this one, but the woman carved on that wooden doll lacked charm."

Kang Weimin looked up at Xu Shaotang in surprise, and then lowered his head again. 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 at it very carefully, as if he didn't want to miss any details, maybe, this is the so-called professionalism.

Xu Shaotang didn't bother Kang Weimin, but sat quietly opposite him, looking at Kang Weimin's careful look.

He watched it for more than ten minutes.

After more than ten minutes, Kang Weimin slowly put down the magnifying glass in his hand, raised his head slightly and asked, "Can I try burning it with fire?"

"Of course, you can do whatever you want!" Xu Shaotang said, "I've tried it, and it sure won't burn."

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

Perhaps he was worried that the wooden doll would not be able to withstand the temperature of the flame, so he didn't put it on immediately. He just approached the flame of the candle a little bit until he was sure that the wooden doll was not damaged in the process of approaching the candle. Then he took the courage Putting the wooden doll on the flame, the flame quickly wrapped one end of the wooden doll, however, the wooden doll was there safe and sound, and the woman carved by the wooden doll still kept a faint smile, as if laughing at the temperature of the flame. Low.

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 was burned by the flame just now.

"It really won't burn!"

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

Hearing Kang Weimin's words, Xu Shaotang was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "What kind of wood is this wooden doll made of?"

"wait!"

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

He opened the folder in front of Xu Shaotang, pointed to a photo on it, and said with a trembling voice: "Look, this is the record about this tree."

Looking at the photo pointed by Kang Weimin, he saw only a gray slate with some ghostly symbols on it, which seemed to be some kind of characters, but Xu Shaotang definitely didn't know these characters.

"Professor Kang, you should just tell me the content recorded on it." Xu Shaotang raised his head, and said to Kang Weimin dumbfounded: "These ancient characters know me, but I don't know them..."

"Sorry, I was so excited, I forgot that you don't know these ancient characters!" Kang Weimin patted his forehead, looked at Xu Shaotang embarrassedly, and said quickly: "The characters on it are translated according to our current characters. That is: on the coast of the South China Sea, there is a tree lock god, its leaves are green, its branches are luxuriant, it burns without damage, and it sinks when it enters the water."

"Forehead……"

Xu Shaotang still looked at Kang Weimin dumbfounded, and said, "Professor Kang, what does this mean? Please translate it."

He is different from people like Kang Weimin who are engaged in the study of ancient culture. He has never been very good at these things that require eloquence. He can understand the general meaning, but not the details.

"It's so simple and straightforward, don't you understand?" Kang Weimin pointed to the ancient words on the photo, and said in a hurry: "The meaning of this is that there is a tree named Suo Shenshu near the sea to the south. The leaves are vast, covering the sky and the sun. Its branches are as big as the vast mountains. This kind of tree will not be damaged by fire, and it will sink to the bottom when it falls into the water. The description of the lock god tree is quite similar to This wood is exactly the same as your wooden doll."

"Lock God Tree?"

Xu Shaotang frowned slightly, and said: "The name is quite domineering, but the branches of this tree are as big as mountains? Isn't this pure nonsense!"

Kang Weimin nodded and said: "It is precisely because of this sentence that I suspect that the ancients deliberately exaggerated the facts, but no matter whether it is exaggerated or not, at least this lock god tree is not rotten in fire and sinks in water. , is indeed consistent with the characteristics of this wooden doll!"

Xu Shaotang thought for a while. What Professor Kang Weimin said was indeed reasonable. At least these two characteristics were consistent with the God-locking tree.

"I don't know about that either!" Kang Weimin shook his head and said, "Among the limited information about ancient culture that I have found, it seems that only this slate has a description about the Lock God Tree, and no other information has been found yet. "

"If this Lock God Tree is really that big, there should be a lot of records about it!" Xu Shaotang tapped the table lightly, and said: "There may be other information, but it has not been discovered yet."

Imagine, if there is such a big tree in the world now, I believe that the reports about this tree will be overwhelming. Even if the communication in ancient times was not as developed as it is now, there should be many records about this tree!Of course, the premise is that such a tree really exists. If it is just exaggerated or deliberately deified, then it may be just such a passage.

"Hmm!" Kang Weimin nodded and said, "I think so too! Regarding your wooden doll, there is no record in the information I have found so far."

"That's such a pity..."

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

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