"The common ground in the frost-protection wisdom of different civilizations." Considering the rainforest's weak signal and damp conditions, they also designed a "waterproof constellation handbook": patterns were printed on waterproof fabric, and a humidity-sensitive strip was sewn along the handbook's edge-when humidity exceeded the limit, the "Vine-Wrapping Pattern" would change color as a warning. Blank spaces were left on the inside pages for the youngsters to record daily celestial observations and plant conditions. Mba wrote in his handbook: "On the day Sirius rises earliest, upas tree seedlings are most susceptible to frost damage. Next time, we need to wrap them in vines two days ahead." Four, a rainforest dialogue among global civilizations: letting patterns "coexist and flourish together." To bring rainforest patterns into exchange with civilizations around the world, the Pioneer Team helped organize the "Congo Rainforest Constellation and Plant Festival." On the day of the festival, the rainforest clearing bustled with activity: youngsters dressed in traditional Pygmy clothing performed the "Low-Temperature Defense Fist" while executing the "Astral Seedling-Guarding Steps"; Soka led everyone in Angkor's "Apsara Dance Steps," while the Inca "Astral Field-Guarding Steps," the Alpine "Snow Mountain Constellation Steps," and the Congo's "Seedling-Protection Steps" interwove among the plants. On the display stands, Congo "constellation rubbing templates" were displayed alongside Inca constellation blankets, Alpine cold-weather blankets, and Maasai wool blankets. The Roman "Water-Flow Pattern pottery fragments" Valeria had brought formed a "resonance between urban water management and rainforest plants" with the Congo's "Vine Pattern." Rainforest conservation organizations around the world connected remotely to present their work: the Xiangxi Heritage Learning Station sent videos of "Bamboo Grove Fist" and bamboo-pattern frost protection, while the Maya Ruins service station demonstrated the connection between the "Ritual Calendar Pattern" and constellation-based protection of tropical plants, carrying the concept of "symbiosis within the global ecological order" across mountains and seas. Before they left, Moka gave Muhammad a piece of rainforest hardwood carved with the "Sirius Pattern" and the paths of the "Astral Seedling-Guarding Steps." "This hardwood holds the soul of the rainforest, and the warmth of civilizations around the world. Looking at it is like seeing the starry sky over the Congo Rainforest." That winter solstice, Muhammad returned to Hangzhou with the rainforest hardwood and the "constellation and plant AR handbook." He leaned the hardwood beside the "Silk Road Heritage Stele" in front of Chen Jialuo's grave. Together with keepsakes such as the Inca constellation blanket, the Alpine cold-weather blanket, the Maasai wool blanket, and the Maya jade pendant, it formed a "panorama of the ecological order of global civilizations." Di Yun and Granny Hua looked at the "constellation seedling-guarding diary" Mba had uploaded to the "Global Pattern Digital Platform," their eyes filled with gratification. "Senior Lin, Senior Chen," Muhammad said softly, "from the rainforest constellation patterns of the Congo to the mountain constellation patterns of the Inca, and then to the snowy-mountain constellation patterns of the Alps, what we pass down has never been symbols, but humanity's reverence for and protection of nature, the stars, and life. Now, through the hands of the young, that reverence is being passed among rainforests, mountains, and snowy peaks." West Lake's winter snow fell on the rainforest hardwood, yet could not cover the rainforest vitality contained within the wood. In the distance, Leifeng Pagoda stood like a silent guardian of the rainforest. Muhammad knew that the journey of the "Young Heritage Vanguard Team" would continue-the next stop might be the Ancient City of Rome, or perhaps the Maya Ruins. But wherever they went, the moral principles of "A Deadly Secret" and the warmth of global patterns would remain forever bright, like the starry sky over the Congo Rainforest, guiding human civilization toward coexistence with nature and writing new cultural chapters that would never end. A new chapter of A Deadly Secret: the symbiosis of constellation and plant patterns in the Congo Rainforest (Hu Fei joins). On the third day of the Congo Rainforest Constellation and Plant Festival, a sudden burst of crisp hoofbeats broke the rainforest's stillness-the messenger who had hurried over from Hangzhou had actually brought an unexpected visitor: dressed in a short coarse-cloth tunic,
