Chapter 914: Corpse
The soldiers died on the battlefield and asked for the horse leather shroud to be returned. And now there are ready-made coffins here, and there is no need for horse leather shrouds.
Wu Song came to the side of a corpse and opened the coffin next to him.
Until now, Wu Song had never thought about what was in the coffin, and he subconsciously felt that all the coffins were empty. But when he opened the coffin, he found a corpse lying inside.
The corpse had turned into a dried corpse, the flesh had dried up, the skin was clinging to the bones, a veritable skin and bones.
It is unusually tall, almost three meters tall. It wears a suit of armor and an iron helmet on its head.
In its right hand, it holds a sharp sword. The armor and the sword were not rusted at all, but shiny.
The man's face was already difficult to make out because it was shriveled, but Wu Song could tell from the style of the armor and sword that it should be a member of the ancient Wan clan.
In other ancient ruins before, Wu Song had seen the portraits and statues of the ancient people. Among them were men in armor and with sharp swords, and the people who were now lying in coffins resembled the statues.
Wu Song was a little puzzled, he came to the other coffin, opened it, and saw that there was also an ancient clan wearing armor and holding a sword lying inside.
He opened more than a dozen coffins in a row, all of them were the same, and they were all dead soldiers of the ancient races.
Wu Song didn't look at the other coffins, he estimated that they were all the same.
Wu Song fell into deep thought, there is no doubt that this is the place where the Great Yao Empire hides its treasures, but why is there so many corpses of soldiers of the ancient ten thousand races in this place?
Could it be that these corpses were collected by the Dayao Empire? So where did they collect them?
Wu Song thought for a long time, but there was no answer. Eventually, he decided not to think about it.
He put all the dead in coffins and put them with the corpses of the soldiers of the ancient races.
Then, Wu Song left the place and returned to the tribe.
Wu Song asked the people in the tribe if he had seen Ji Wen and Wang Gong. He was worried that Jiwen and Wang Gong might have left the treasure place through other passages.
However, none of the tribesmen had ever seen either of them.
In the end, Wu Song took out the cube and found the patriarch, hoping that the patriarch would know the cube.
Now, the only hope of finding Wang Gong and Jiwen is this square.
The patriarch picked up the square and looked at it for a long time, then thought for a while, "I really think I've seen it there, and I have some impressions, but I can't remember it for a while, you wait a minute." ”
After a while, the patriarch remembered, "I saw this square in the high priest's room. ”
Wu Song was very excited, "Where is the high priest?" ”
The high priest's room was filled with the smell of mixed herbs, and the window was not open, and the room was very dim. The room was small, filled with jars and jars, and unknown dried herbs hanging from the beams.
The high priest was sitting on a futon on the ground, meditating with his eyes closed.
The patriarch walked up to the High Priest and whispered, "High Priest, the chosen one is here, and I am looking for you. ”
Now, the people in the tribe no longer call Wu Song a god, but think that he is the messenger of the gods, that is, the chosen one of the gods.
The high priest was very old and had wrinkles on his face. He opened his eyelids and looked at Wu Song. His eyes are clear and perceptive, and contain infinite wisdom.
Wu Song placed the cube in front of the high priest, and when the high priest saw the cube, a light lit up in his eyes.
Wu Song looked at the High Priest, "High Priest, do you know this thing?"
The high priest picked up the cube, looked at it for a long time, and then looked at Wu Song, "Where did you get this thing?"
Wu Song replied truthfully, "Forbidden land." ”
The High Priest looked at the cube and was silent for a long time before speaking, "I know this thing. ”
He got up and walked over to a nearby shelf and pulled one out of a pile of papers.
He picked up the piece of paper and answered on the futon and spread it out on the ground.
There is a portrait of a man holding a square in his hand, and a light strikes on the person. He appeared in another place, and between the two places were drawn some wavy lines with a number on them, five hundred kilometers.
Wu Song understood the meaning of the portrait: a person took this square and came to another place 500 kilometers away.
In the margins next to the portrait, there are also some words written. Those characters are not the ones used in Dongzhou now, so Wu Song doesn't know them.
Wu Song looked at it for a long time, but he was still puzzled, so he had to ask the high priest, "High priest, what does this painting mean?"
The high priest picked up the square and placed it on the portrait, "This square is the square in the portrait, and it can make people reach another place five hundred kilometers away in an instant. ”
Wu Song suddenly said that this was what it meant.
"And the words written next to the portrait," continued the high priest, "are the methods of how to use the square." It is a type of ciphertext used by the Great Yao Empire decades ago, and it requires special means to decipher. ”
Wu Song looked at the high priest in surprise, "You also know the Great Yao Empire?"
The High Priest nodded, "This picture was passed on to me by the previous High Priest, and when he gave me this painting, he told me that this picture was given to him by the people of the Great Yao Empire seventy years ago.
Even the method of cracking the ciphertext on the painting was also told to him by the people of the Great Yao Empire. ”
"So," Wu Song speculated, "the Great Yao Empire gave you the painting to let you use this block, or to teach others to use it." ”
The high priest shook his head, "What exactly does the Great Yao Empire mean, I don't know about this." Now that you've found the block, I'll tell you how to use it. ”
Subsequently, the high priest deciphered the ciphertext on the painting and told Wu Song how to use the square.
Wu Song picked up the block, came to an open space, and activated the block according to the method drawn by the high priest.
After the block activated, a faint white light appeared on the surface, and it began to tremble slightly.
Then, a thin white light rose into the sky, reaching the sky.
After this white light disappeared, another white light fell from the sky and hit Wu Song's body.
He felt as if he had fallen into a ball of warm water, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable. The space around them suddenly became a little distorted until it became indiscernible.
Suddenly, the comfortable feeling was gone. He noticed that the world around him had changed, and he was still standing in the tribe just now, surrounded by straw huts.
However, at this moment, there were scattered grains of sand all around him, and the sound of waves not far away.
Wu Song walked a few steps, turned a huge rock, and then saw the sea.
He looked around at the squares, then at the sea, and suddenly realized that he had come to an island five hundred kilometers away.
Wu Song waited on the top of a hill next to him and looked around.
It's a very small island that you can see from the other side at a glance. The island is surrounded by sparse forests.
In the middle of the island, there is a large open space with stone pillars standing on it.
Obviously, that's artificial. Wu Song spread his flame wings and flew to the clearing.
When he arrived, Wu Song found that the stone pillars were very large, more than three meters high and two meters wide.
The stone pillars are arranged neatly, each with an interval of two meters, and there are hundreds of them in total.
On the stone pillar, there are two rows of short texts, which are also the ciphertext of the Dayao Empire, so Wu Song doesn't know it.
If Ji Wen and Wang Gong had come here, then they should be nearby by now.
Wu Song waited for one of the stone pillars, looked nearby, and found no trace of anyone.
He shouted around, "Wang Gong!"
The sound spread far away, and the birds in the woods in the distance were startled by Wu Song's voice and flew into the air.
Wu Song shouted a few more times, and then, in the northwest direction, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly.
There was a forest over there, and a person stumbled out, it was Wang Gong.
Wu Song flew over and landed beside Wang Gong.
Wu Song was surprised and delighted, "I can be regarded as finding you." ”
Wang Gong had several blood stains on his body and several wounds on his face, but fortunately, they were all skin injuries and were not in the way.
He exhaled with a sigh of relief, a smile on his face, "I can wait until you come, what the hell is going on? I remember that I was in the treasure field, how did I come here with my eyes closed?"
Wu Song took out the block, "This is what I found in the place where you disappeared, it is a mechanism, and after activation, you can send people to another place."
You don't know yet, the island we are on now is 500 kilometers away from the island we were on before.
You must have inadvertently touched the mechanism in the middle of the fight. ”
"Five hundred kilometers away?" Wang Gong was taken aback when he heard this.
"Let's not talk about this for now," Wu Song put away the cube and grabbed Wang Gong's arm, "I'll take you out of here now, there should be an inhabited island nearby, and when we get there, we're trying to find a way back to the treasure land."
By the way, what about Given?"
Wang Gong threw the steel knife in his hand and said hatefully, "That bastard ran away, he couldn't beat me, so he ran away, I could have killed him right away to avenge my brother." ”
Wu Song patted Wang Gong on the shoulder to show comfort, "Okay, the coming day is long, we can always find him." Then, you hold on to me, and we'll go now. ”
"No, wait a minute," Wang Gong waved his hand, "I'll take you to a place, this island has weirdness. ”
Wu Song followed Wang Gong along a path in the forest to a stone house.
This stone house is small and looks like an ordinary small temple. The two of them entered the room, a huge room, empty, only in the center of the house, there stood a black stone tablet more than one person high.
Wang Gong led Wu Song to the stele and pointed to the words on it, "Look." ”
On the stele is engraved in the form of a yin carving, a text is engraved. That is the text used in Dongzhou now, so Wu Song can understand it.
The above is that on the eve of the fall of the Great Yao Empire, the emperor sent a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in the palace to a certain place, and then sent an army called the Shenwu Army to another place.
