Volume 1: The Adventures of Kunlun Chapter 14 Tao Wen
"Shang Bin, why did you stop?" Professor Qiu asked.
Following his line of sight, he found that the canyon in front of him was getting narrower and narrower, enough to accommodate the length of two cars, and with Shang Bin's sensitivity, he must have sensed something.
They got out of the car and took in the surrounding terrain, which seemed to be different from the previous terrain.
"What's wrong?" Fang Jingxuan looked at Haichuan with a pensive face, and found that he was looking at his feet blankly.
"You see," he pointed to his feet, "the sand here has become much looser. He pulled out his feet, and the sand was loose enough to cover his ankles, and he grabbed a handful of sand, and found that it was not damp at all, the same as the sand of an arid desert.
"The difference here is just like that, it's a dry desert, there's not a bit of moisture, you see. Professor Qiu pointed to the top of the mountain, where there was no snow-white frost left.
"So we're in the real desert? Don't drive, just ride a camel. "The fat man's heart is still so big.
Shang Bin tried to drive forward, but even the four-wheel drive off-road vehicle kept rolling in the loose sand, and could not move forward at all, generally speaking, the four-wheel drive of the car was enough to cope with both the arid desert and the rugged mountain roads, and the sand here is like a swamp, the more you increase the horsepower, the deeper the wheels will sink.
"I'll go ahead and take a look. Shang Bin glanced at Gu Kun and signaled together, he was obviously not very happy, and followed reluctantly.
"Come and see, what is this?" They hadn't gone far when they saw a mound jutting out like a tombstone.
Everyone walked over, Shang Bin swept away the dust on it, and there were some patterns engraved on it, which were blurred because of weathering, as if it was carved with a person's beheaded, and the murderer was still carrying the severed head.
Everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces.
"Professor Qiu, do we still have to move forward, this indicates that there is danger ahead. Yang Jing hid behind her and hesitated.
In front of you is an endless desert, quiet and peaceful, there seems to be no wind, but the more this happens, the more dangerous it is, but if you want to unlock the secret of "frozen ground", you have to pass through this desert.
"Professor Qiu, look at the back!" Huang Cheng shouted back.
I don't know when the yellow sand behind them was all over the sky, blurring the vision, the car that was still there just now seemed to be devoured by a ghost, and disappeared, the car was less than a dozen meters away from them, and disappeared under their noses, disappearing out of thin air, without a trace of sound and movement.
"Where's the car?" Huang Cheng shouted angrily, and then became angry: "Without the food in the car, you can't go any deeper." "After a series of unexpected events, everyone is exhausted, coupled with a series of dangerous and evil strange things, the spirit is on the verge of extreme tension.
"Neurotic, we're here for archaeology, not to die, without a car, we can't walk far at all, and now we don't have much food with us, and we don't know what dangers are waiting for us ahead, so I won't play with you. Gu Kunman didn't care to say, although he gave people a feeling of greed for life and fear of death, but what he said at the moment was not lacking in truth.
He walked a few steps, stopped, looked at Shang Bin on the side, and looked at Shang Bin in disbelief: "Soldier, aren't you sick, we only promised to come and assist them to enter inside, not bodyguards or funeral goods!"
"I can't help it, I'm a soldier, and what I promised must be done. He didn't move at Gu Kun's pull.
"Just because ......"
"Enough!" Before Gu Kun could finish speaking, Shang Bin shouted angrily, and the sharp gaze in his eyes stared straight at Gu Kun.
Gu Kun shook his head, turned back again, and smiled wryly.
"Don't look at me, you know I won't leave you. The fat man met Haichuan's gaze.
"You don't have a reason to risk it with us, don't you?" Haichuan looked at Fang Jingxuan.
"You may have misunderstood something, I'm for myself. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, my grandfather resolutely returned to China to participate in the research of immune drugs, and was infected by bacteria with physical tests, which led to the weakening of the body's immune system, and left at an early age. You may not understand what some people are doing in the first place. She spoke calmly, but with determination in her eyes.
"It's an acoustic heat set-piece, wear it on your hand and don't get lost. Haichuan took out three small silver balls, put one on her hand, and threw one to the fat man.
"Hehe, you thought you didn't care about what I developed. ”
"Let's go. Professor Qiu looked at Huang Cheng.
Professor Qiu was not angry but mighty, Huang Cheng glanced at the professor's gaze, lowered his head, as if he was in awe of Professor Qiu, trembled slightly, packed up the only food and water left in his arms, and followed.
The further you get past the monument, the closer you get to the two peaks, the narrower the canyon becomes, the peaks slope to each other, and there is only a tiny gap when viewed from the bottom.
Generally speaking, the hills of the desert are piled up with sand, and when you come in, you can see such a high mountain, it is entirely because the mountains there are made of rocks, and the low temperature freezes at high places, and the mountains are easy to stabilize to form high mountains. But here the sand is loose, and it is still difficult to form such a high mountain from the sand, unless it is made of rocks.
"Look, what is that?" After walking for a while, Yang Jing suddenly shouted.
I saw a row of scattered tombstones, and the most terrifying thing was that there were blood stains on them, like the marks of a human bloody hand painfully grasping on it, and blood flowed down the tombstone from the scratched nails.
The tombstone is engraved with some strange patterns, like human shapes and words.
Professor Qiu hurriedly took out a magnifying glass from his bag and looked at the pattern on it.
"Professor Yau. Haichuan shouted to Professor Qiu, who was looking at the tombstone carefully.
He slowly propped up his waist and had a solemn expression: "This is Tao Wen!"
"What is Tao Wen?" asked the fat man.
"The pottery inscription is engraved with the text on the pottery, and the archaeological community believes that it may be a Chinese script that is earlier than the Chinese oracle bone inscription. Without waiting for Professor Qiu to answer, Huang Cheng explained.
The fat man looked at Professor Qiu, and he nodded in acquiescence.
"Now has been unearthed pottery to Banpo pottery as the earliest, about 4000 years ago BC, most of them are engraved on the black wide band pattern and black inverted triangle pattern on the outer edge of the pottery bowl, very few are engraved on the outer wall of the pottery pot and the bottom of the pottery bowl, and there is only one pottery inscription on the general utensils. Scholars have different opinions on the nature of these pottery inscriptions. Some people think it's a sign, some think it's a sign with a literal nature......"
"Damn, that means the words on this tombstone were engraved on it more than 4,000 years ago?" the fat man hugged his head, as if surprised, "More than 4,000 years ago, the ancient Chinese would have played this kind of haunted house as scary tricks?"
Obviously, in this atmosphere, everyone will feel how humorous the fat man is.
"What's engraved on it?" Haichuan asked.
Professor Qiu glanced at him and hesitated: "According to our research on Tao Wen, if it is correct, it should mean 'death'. ”
"What the hell is in it, even the people of ancient times have to warn like this!" Huang Cheng looked at the tombstone and felt terrified.
With yellow sand and only a line left on the peaks, the light is dim, and now there are blood-soaked tombstones in front of you, and it's hard not to change your psyche.
"Fuck you. Gu Kun kicked at the stone tablet angrily, obviously not believing in evil.
But the next scene almost made his jaw drop.
