Chapter 58: The Epitaph
Looking at Uncle Cheng and Gu Yicheng again, their eyes, both old and young, were also full of determination to see death as home.
When Qin Yue said this to me, I saw Qin Yue walking to the black wooden box that was inseparable from her.
When Qin Yue was about to carry the black wooden box on his back, I saw Qin Yue suddenly put down the shoulder strap of the black wooden box.
Putting down the shoulder strap, Qin Yue lifted the black wooden box in front of me.
"Keep it!"
Four simple words, but it seems to be explaining to me what happened after her death!
I didn't go to look at this black wooden box that Qin Yue regarded as life, but suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Yue's arm.
Qin Yue was pulled by me like this, and he also turned around and looked at me suspiciously.
"Is it that important?"
I looked at Qin Yue and asked in front of Qin Yue's knife-like eyes.
This is also the first time I have looked directly into Qin Yue's eyes.
"What do you say again?"
Qin Yue looked at me quietly, and her voice was as indifferent as her face.
I didn't answer Qin Yue, but glanced at the worm mother again.
The mother worm was already very close to us, and there were probably less than twenty meters left before the mother worm could come to us.
It is also at a distance of more than twenty meters that the number of ground thorns has become denser and denser.
The sound of breaking began to ring in my ears one after another.
I also looked directly at Qin Yue in the face of this endless stream of breaking sounds, and said again: "Is it really that important? β
When I said this to Qin Yue, I saw that not only Qin Yue, but also Gu Yicheng, Gou Xilai, and Uncle Cheng all looked at me.
It was as if I had said something rebellious.
But is there any? Not at all!
"Didn't the Five Sects fall apart and become their own faction a long time ago? Then the rules of the Five Sects will naturally be abolished long ago, and as long as it does not attack us, we don't have to provoke it at all. β
To tell you the truth, I was selfish when I said these words again.
We've all seen the strength of the mother worm, and even a spear or a thorn can't hurt it, so can we expect a woman, a young man, or an old man to stop it?
At that point, the ending will still be the same, just the process will be different.
Just now I saw Qin Yue's entrusting eyes behind him, and just now I saw the intention of death in Gu Yicheng and Uncle Cheng's eyes, I already knew that the three of them were going to play with the insect mother.
But is it worth it? Can it change the outcome?
If you can't change it, why bother?
The selfishness in my heart is that I don't want them to cost their lives for such illusory rules.
In the passage of time, this yin and yang Pisces picture behind us finally opens its door.
As the door opened, a cold, damp smell suddenly blew out from behind me.
And the moment the door of the burial chamber was fully opened, I suddenly heard a piercing hiss!
Accompanied by this piercing hiss, I also heard a deafening crash.
Crash sound? Where does the crash sound come from?
When I looked at the source of the crashing sound, I saw something that surprised me.
A black cage appeared in front of me.
And in this black cage is this copper-skinned, iron-armed, invulnerable insect mother.
The mother worm is struggling frantically and violently in the black cage.
Every time it hit the black cage, I could see how the black cage would twist with the powerful impact.
Ground thorns!
The black cage is made up of thorns from the ground.
The ground thorn cannot hurt the mother, but it can be imprisoned for a short time.
Every thorn that survived pierced into the beams of the palace from the ground, and that was the only thing they could do.
Form a cage and imprison the mother inside.
While I was shocked by what I saw, I was also deeply impressed by the endless methods of the tomb owner.
How much effort did he spend before his death, and how many skilled craftsmen he found to build this spiritual palace.
The mother worm is trapped, and it seems that it will not be able to break free from this black prison in a while, and how long this black cage can imprison the mother worm is also unknown.
"Let's go!"
Qin Yue was the first to withdraw his gaze from the black cage directly in front of us and said to us.
Hearing Qin Yue's words, I knew that we were going to enter the tomb of this tomb owner.
Stepping into the door of the room, which is composed of yin and yang double fish figures, I was presented with a square space of less than 30 meters.
The walls of this square space are covered with painted patterns.
These painted patterns include flowers, grass, water, people, and even strange-shaped runes.
But on this painting of more than 30 meters, I saw more clouds.
The clouds are as high as people, as high as flowers, with water, and with grass.
And the color of each cloud is not the same.
For example, in this painting, the clouds connected to the water are white clouds, while the clouds connected to the grass are red clouds, while the black clouds cover the heads of the people, and the green clouds that press on the top of the flowers.
What does this mean? Why did the owner of the tomb paint such a painting in his burial chamber?
"Miss, the epitaph and coffin can be preserved so completely, how did this tomb owner do it?"
When I was looking at the paintings in this tomb, Uncle Cheng's words also attracted me.
Looking in the direction that Uncle Cheng is looking at, in fact, there is no need to look in the direction of Uncle Cheng at all, because this tomb is still more than 30 meters square in total, and you can see this tomb at a glance.
And I saw two large objects in the very center of this burial chamber.
One was naturally a coffin for the body of the tomb owner, while the other was a large thing I had never seen before.
This big thing is also square, and it seems that from my point of view, this square thing seems to be divided into two layers.
Gou Xilai was beside me, and I also pointed to the big object placed in front of the coffin and asked Gou Xilai, "Uncle Gou, what is that!"
"Epitaph!"
Gou Xi looked at the big guy in front of him, whom he called the epitaph, and replied to me.
"The epitaph is divided into an epitaph cover and an epitaph bottom, which mainly records the life and achievements of the tomb owner during his lifetime, as well as the evaluation of the tomb owner by others during his lifetime. β
Hearing Gou Xilai's words, I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart.
Could it be that the epitaph cover has recorded the name and age of the tomb owner in detail?
Doesn't that mean that the identity of the tomb owner has been revealed?
I was excited, and I also looked at this epitaph cover with wide eyes.
The four corners of the epitaph cover are decorated with peonies, and the middle part of the epitaph cover is carved with twelve scribes with their hands in their sleeves.
Each of the twelve scribes seemed to be holding an animal in the crook of their arms, but the carvings were so blurry that I could not tell which animal they belonged to.
The peony is embellished, the twelve scribes are the ring, and the inside of the ring is the text part.
The text in this ring is divided into six lines, and these six lines of text are filled with gold.
At this moment, the eyes of the five of us were all focused on the six lines of text on the cover of the epitaph.
"It can't beβit can't beβ"
Under the eyes of the five of us, Gou Xilai's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
And I was also shocked by Gou Xilai's words.
"It's not Tang Wen, it's not Beiyan Wen, how much does this tomb owner know about the script of his homeland. β
Uncle Cheng's voice also sounded heavily in my ears.
Hearing Uncle Cheng's words, I knew why Gou Xilai was shocked.
And from Uncle Cheng's simple words, I also captured two messages.
First, this is the owner of the tomb, and the inscription on the epitaph cover is not Tang Wen, nor is it Northern Yanwen.
Second, Uncle Cheng and Gou Xi couldn't understand the words on the cover of this epitaph.
"There are six lines in it, each in the language of a country, and I think the tomb owner was not just trying to show his talents to future generations. β
Qin Yue stretched out his hand and pointed to the first line of text on the cover of this epitaph and continued to us: "This line of text is in the Xia State script. β
