Chapter 35: The Murals
Walking out of the first passage, everyone seemed to deliberately avoid the middle passage, so everyone collectively chose the passage on the other side, which was exactly the same as the first passage, in this passage, there were not too many sand lizards, and this passage was not particularly long, and it seemed that soon, everyone came to the end of the passage.
Of course, there is also a room at the end of the passage, but this room is not an important place for everyone, although there are many items that have oxidized and aged due to long-term exposure to the air, but everyone can still see that this is actually a kitchen, and at the end of the previous passage is a bedroom, and this has become a kitchen, obviously this was once a residence, but I don't know what kind of people can live in such a house.
Because the roof of this kitchen is safe enough, so everyone did not leave here directly, Professor Gu led his students to start to rummage around here, obviously trying to find something that can be related to the history and civilization here, but everyone is doomed to fail, because it is exactly the same as the previous bedroom, here, there is still nothing of value, so, after some searching, everyone can only choose to leave.
There are three passages in total, and now two of them have been searched, and there is no gain in these two passages, Chu Tianci knows that now everyone has to face the nest of those sand lizards, because apart from this last passage, everyone really can't find anything else, and now Chu Tianci only hopes that the torch in his hand can ensure the safety of everyone.
In fact, compared to Chu Tianci, Professor Gu and the others are even more crazy, although Professor Gu and his students also have a fear of those sand lizards, but for their own careers, these people will also forcibly enter it, for this, even Chu Tianci has to admire, since these people are not afraid, Chu Tianci can only accompany everyone into it.
This passage really belonged to the nest of the sand lizards, and just a few steps forward, Chu Tianci saw a dense number of sand lizards in this passage, so Chu Tianci and the others had to slow down their progress, and force the sand lizards on the walls and the ground to retreat bit by bit.
When he really entered this passage, Chu Tianci also found another thing, that is, in this passage, the air humidity is a little more dense than other places, which is no wonder those sand lizards will choose this passage, although I don't know where the end of this passage leads, but now Chu Tianci can be sure that at the end of the passage, there should be a water source, otherwise, it would not be so humid here, and in this sea of sand, there is such a place, which is really a little curious。
It is because there is enough humidity here that everyone is moving very slowly, after all, the speed of those sand lizards retreating is very slow, before these sand lizards leave, everyone naturally does not dare to move forward easily, but after advancing for a few minutes, Professor Gu first saw that after the sand lizards retreated, a mural appeared on the wall.
Although in the main hall, there are also one mural after another, but because it has been exposed to the air for a long time, the original pigment began to fall off, and the specific content of the natural mural is difficult to see, in the entire hall, more than a dozen murals, the content that can be seen completely, there is only one of them, that is, the man holding the scepter in his hand and another person kneeling in front of the mural, so just with such a complete mural, Professor Gu could not understand the specific history of this place at all, and after re-entering here this time, two students were left in the hallThe main purpose is to restore the murals as much as possible according to the marks that fall off the walls, so as to restore the history from these murals.
Now, encountering a mural again, Professor Gu of course couldn't wait to step forward, even if the sand lizards had not completely retreated at this moment, Professor Gu had already walked over.
Afraid of danger, when Professor Gu stepped forward, Chu Tianci also quickly followed, and also used the torch in his hand to keep moving closer to the sand lizards that still did not retreat, forcing these sand lizards to leave quickly, and with Chu Tianci's continuous drive, this mural was finally completely displayed in front of everyone, and this mural was also very well preserved, although the paint had faded, but Chu Tianci could still see the content of this mural.
The content of the mural is very simple, above a city, a faintly Zhuo Zhuo person holds a leather whip in his hand, looking down at a large number of slaves under the city, and these slaves are constantly carrying some stones, obviously they are constantly busy building the city, this mural itself does not seem to be special, if you have to say special, there is only the man standing on the city, because there are some ghosts behind his body, so it looks faintly Zhuo Zhuo, but Chu Tianci does not know, this mural is originally like this, or because it has gone through too many years, so the mural has undergone some changes, so it became like this.
At this moment, not only Professor Gu and Chu Tianci were standing here, but several of Professor Gu's students also came to the mural, and there was naturally no need for Professor Gu to do it in person, so Chu Tianci had time to ask Professor Gu if the figure on the mural was originally like this.
In terms of murals, Professor Gu does not have a special specialty, but now he can roughly see the origin of these murals, after all, in archaeology, any object may be encountered, and after seeing more, it is natural to have a certain understanding.
According to Professor Gu, the faint appearance of this figure is described by the mural itself, so what Chu Tianci saw was the original mural, as for why this person described the shadow Zhuo Zhuo, it is not something that Professor Gu can understand, after all, there is no more information for Professor Gu to refer to, so for the time being, he can only hide this question in his heart.
Although this question cannot be answered for the time being, Professor Gu knows that as long as everyone can really enter the end of this passage, then this question is likely to be solved, obviously, this passage is the most important place in this hall, so on the walls on both sides of it, there will be murals, Professor Gu believes that this is not the last mural, what kind of secrets are hidden here, just need everyone to continue to move forward to know.
After Professor Gu's students scanned the mural completely into their laptops, everyone began to walk forward again, less than ten steps away, and sure enough, a mural appeared again, of course, this mural is not as intact as the previous mural, but the things to be described in the mural, Chu Tianci can still roughly see clearly, after all, the main part of the mural is still there, and only an area near the edge has been destroyed.
The things described in this mural are also very simple, those slaves seem to be unable to bear their fate anymore, so among the slaves, the first person to resist finally appeared, at this time, the people who followed behind this slave, there were still very few, most of the slaves just watched coldly, watching the first person to resist with a simple weapon rushed towards the man with the whip.
There is no need to continue to look back, just by seeing this, Chu Tianci can understand the main content of the murals after that, if the guess is not wrong, this place should be built by a group of slaves, after they succeeded in rebelling against the slave owners, they built this city themselves, and in order to commemorate the person who built the city, so they will leave these murals here.
Although Chu Tianci had been able to guess the next plot, Professor Gu and the others did not stop their own tasks, still like the first mural, Professor Gu's students kept taking pictures and videos, hoping to be able to clearly copy all the details of this mural into Professor Gu's laptop, and before they completed these tasks, Chu Tianci naturally could not continue to move forward, but in this way, everyone consumed more and more torches, although these torches are special flame-resistant torches made by those retired special forces, but it is such a waste of time, this torch still cannot ensure that everyone can enter the end of the passage smoothlyIn desperation, when Professor Gu and the others were busy, Chu Tianci could only return to the main hall, hoping to let Zhang Zihao and the others continue to make some torches, just in case.
Obviously, before entering the main hall, Tian Jialiang had already thought of this problem, so when everyone went down to the main hall, Zhang Zihao and the others who were still in the desert did not stop making torches, so when Chu Tianci returned to the entrance, Tian Jialiang had already prepared new torches for everyone, and after shaking his thumb at Tian Jialiang, Chu Tianci didn't say anything, and walked towards the passage again with these new torches.
When Chu Tianci returned to the passage, Professor Gu and the others had already come to the third mural, but unlike Chu Tianci who was so careful before, when Professor Gu and the others moved forward, they must not have carefully driven away those sand lizards, so even if everyone had come to the third mural, but under the feet of everyone, there were still some sand lizards that kept wriggling, and now the sand lizard did not attack everyone, it was just because everyone still had torches in their hands, but here, because the humidity in the air was stronger, so the sand lizard would not leave the person holding the torch far away, and in order to prevent it, Chu Tianci naturally began to drive it away immediatelyAfter all, Chu Tianci has not forgotten how terrifying the previous corpses were, and now, Chu Tianci still hopes that these sand lizards can be farther away from everyone.
