Chapter 62: The same text
Everything was as Qin Beige said, there was no need for three little beans to lead the way, relying on Qin Beige's method, everyone found the other two areas on the second underground floor, that is, the two areas of heaven and earth among the three talents.
When he was on the road, Qin Beige also explained, and he was not sure to go directly to the bottom, because the more forks there were in the back, the more difficult it would be to distinguish, especially after arriving at the Nine Palaces, there were dozens of forks, and if you take a wrong step, it is easy to really die of old age underground.
But everyone doesn't care very much, take one step at a time, and the heart is big.
When it came to the second prescription pit annihilation, Lao Zhao was disappointed, it was also a square pit annihilation, that is, the scale was slightly smaller, and the building complex inside was also very single, not a house or an octagonal tower, but a mound.
Lao Zhao commanded a group of technicians, threw aside several mounds of dirt, and found the bones below.
But not human bones, but forty or fifty centimeters resembling some kind of rodent, and no writing or patterns have been found in the surrounding area.
Unlike the previous oblivion pit, there was nothing of value except for the bones.
After Lao Zhao recorded the data of the bones, everyone continued to march and arrived at the last annihilation pit.
The last square pit of oblivion, there is only a square pit, there is nothing in it, it is not as good as the previous one, and the previous square pit at least has corpses.
After the technicians completed the survey and photography, everyone finally arrived at the ladder area after nearly four hours according to Qin Beige's method.
Along the way, Winnister's three little cubs also accept their fate.
Now that surface humans already know the proper way to get to the underworld, there's no use in withholding information.
However, the information that the three little beans know is limited, and Bai Yue who can say it already knows.
Before, Bai Yue took the three of them and fed two mouthfuls of chocolate after giving a little information.
Now that Bai Yue didn't have time to deal with them, he handed them over to Dracula and the Flame Snake to supervise, so you can imagine how many beatings these three things have taken along the way.
The so-called ladder area, which is similar to the oblivion moment, covers an area of thousands of square kilometers and is very empty, but there are no pits.
The only difference from the oblivion is that it is surrounded by prismatic metal pillars without gaps, forming a huge circle, and the circle is also the ladder area.
In addition to the prismatic metal columns, there is only one large arch standing in the middle of the open area.
Winnister said that this arch is the entrance to the ladder, but it is not always open, and it needs to wait until after dark to enter for a period of time, and this process is only about ten minutes, and if you do not "enter" within ten minutes, you can only wait for another twenty-four hours.
A group of people ran to the arch and looked around, but found nothing.
Because there is nothing near the arch, neither a passage nor a staircase, it stands quietly, pure black marble, without splicing and gluing gaps, as if it were one.
Only Chu Yu frowned, and after walking around the arch a few times, Chu Yu looked at Winnie and asked, "What is the state of the opening of the ladder entrance?"
"I don't quite understand what you mean. ”
"I'm asking, when the entrance to the ladder is opened, will there be a passage staircase, or will there be some kind of light, or something like a six-pointed star?"
Winnie's eyes flashed with surprise: "How do you know?"
"I know your uncle. Chu Yu said angrily: "What kind of situation is it?"
"It seems to be a six-pointed star, anyway, there are a lot of stars, and there are circles, and after standing on it, you will go straight down. ”
The bald men were amazed, and Lao Zhao shouted, "Isn't this the portal in the game?"
Bai Yue looked suspicious: "If you step on it, you will be teleported?"
Winnie nodded, "Roughly like this." ”
A crowd of people couldn't laugh or cry.
It's really the same as the portal in the game, it's not scientific.
Chu Yu and the others couldn't help but look at Dracula.
"See what I'm doing?" Dracula said, nibbling on chocolate, "It's okay with me, I'm here for the first time, really, it's Peppa Pig who lied." ”
The flame snake sneered, "Lying is Peppa Pig who was eaten." ”
Dracula's crotch was cold: "... ”
Chu Yu didn't suspect that the underground world had something to do with Dracula, but he couldn't figure out that the underground world originally had an inextricable relationship with Taoist formations, so why was it involved in the black magic six-pointed star, this combination of Chinese and Western play is quite slippery.
"I'll see when it's on. Chu Yu looked at Bai Yue: "Just wait here for repairs, and then decide whether to enter or not depending on the situation." ”
"Good. Bai Yue nodded and gave the order.
The bald men began to eat and sort out their equipment, but the technicians could not be idle, and began to work blindly under the command of Lao Zhao.
In fact, the busiest people who came to the underground this time were not the fighters, but a group of technicians.
It's detection and erection of instruments, and it's necessary to collect data when running around, and a group of technical nerds don't usually exercise, tired and dead dogs, but they don't have the extra experience to think nonsense.
Before he came, Chu Yu had this kind of concern, the underground world is actually a huge closed space, if ordinary people stay for a long time, they may not be able to withstand it psychologically, and technicians will definitely face this psychological dilemma.
As a result, Lao Zhao summoned this group of people like a husky, and no one had the time to think about it at all.
However, the technicians have nothing to do, there is basically nothing in the ladder area, the ground position is the same as the previous road, the ceiling is too high to touch, the arches are made of marble, and the walls composed of prismatic stone pillars can be studied.
After studying for a while, the technicians actually made a discovery.
Originally, everyone thought that there was other space behind the stone pillar wall, but Meng Yong used high explosives to blow up two of them, only to find that behind the stone pillar was bedrock.
What really piqued the interest of the technicians was the prismatic pillars themselves.
The staircase area is enclosed in a huge circle, from the left hand side of the entrance, walk a large circle, back to the right hand side, roughly count, a total of more than 4,000, and the stone pillar surface is patterned and text, a small half is painted with paint, the middle part is carved, the last part is strange, the text and pattern exist inside the column, not on the surface.
The content of the pattern is very abstract, it is composed entirely of straight lines and circles, and the ghost does not know what it means, but the appearance of the text is very intriguing.
Because from the first stone pillar to the last stone pillar, the text changes from cumbersome to simple, from many to less, and the change in the pattern is not too big.
The first few hundred stone pillars, in fact, are not words, all of them are circled and forked, and there is not even a punctuation mark or space, which looks dense.
Looking further back, it is obvious that the text has been simplified, from a circle and a fork to a large circle and a small circle.
Lao Zhao suspected that these should not be words, but some kind of counting method, and each circle and cross represented a different quantity.
If you want to know what these words mean by the numbers, you can only decipher the corresponding patterns under each stone pillar.
Lao Zhao didn't have so much spare time, after taking pictures and videos, he took people to continue to look back, and when he reached the thousand stone pillars, the text changed again, in addition to the circles and forks, there were more straight lines, interspersed in a large number of large and small circles and forks.
However, everyone still couldn't understand it, and the pattern below was becoming more and more abstract, and everyone was completely confused.
On the stone pillars that followed, something resembling hieroglyphs finally appeared.
This kind of hieroglyphs basically belongs to ideograms, in fact, they are composed of the simplest pictures and patterns used in primitive society, and they are actually pictures.
The technicians still couldn't read it, but there were fewer and fewer patterns under the stone pillars.
In the end, the hieroglyphs were replaced by a cursive-like font, as if the earthworm had been dipped in ink and rolled on it several times, and the more you went to the stone pillar at the back, the less the pattern, the more this cursive, until the last stone pillar had completely lost the pattern, not even cursive.
Lao Zhao asked the technicians to take pictures and mark each stone pillar, then ran to Chu Yu and the others and explained the situation in general.
Bai Yue didn't take it too seriously, if Lao Zhao found some high-tech weapon, she might be a little interested.
Huang Haoran is essentially no different from other big bald heads except for his handsome appearance, so he is not interested in this kind of thing at all.
Chu Yu and Yan Snake were bragging about this, and they didn't hear what Lao Zhao was talking about.
Only Qin Beige looked at the photos taken by Lao Zhao, and said lightly after a while: "A law is a stone ruler, the car is on the same track, the book is the same as the text, the original more than 1,000 stone pillars, both words and patterns, come to think of it, it is not written by the same species, Winnie has already told you, there are two species in the Fangkeng Annihilation Array, if there is a total of two species in the same area, maybe all this can be explained." ”
No one is interested in what Lao Zhao said, but it is different for Qin Beige.
Bai Yue was interested in Qin Beige's knowledge, and so was Huang Haoran.
Although Chu Yu was not interested, after all, Qin Beige was his friend, and in front of "outsiders", he had to give enough face.
Yan Snake was not interested at all, but Lao Qin was his senior brother, and he not only pretended to be interested, but also had to listen attentively.
Lao Zhao thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You mean that the patterns and words are not written by a species?" Qin Beige said with a smile: "There are three oblivion square pits, one is empty, and there are corpses in two places, I saw those stone pillars when I came in just now, and the height up and down just coincides with the height of the two species." ”
"Oh, I'll go, don't I. Lao Zhao slapped his forehead and admired the five-body throw: " Isn't this what it means, the creatures in the first square pit record information with a unique text on the stone pillar, and the creatures in the second square pit are very short, so they record information at the bottom, and both creatures survive in this layer, gradually, they begin to use the same language, and even the living habits are the same, this is not impossible, just like the white and black people, if they live together, they will eventually use the same language and writing. ”
"Words are special symbols that record ideas, communicate ideas, and carry language and history. Qin Beige smiled lightly and continued: "If my guess is correct, the words engraved on these stone pillars are the origin of these two creatures from history, and the more time passes, the more the two creatures become more and more integrated, and in the end, the same script is used, which is why there are only words and no patterns on the last hundred and root stone pillars." ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Lao Zhao said excitedly: "I have also noticed that that the kind of cursive script, which seems to have evolved from the previous words and patterns, must have fused the characteristics of the two characters, 100% so." ”
"If one of these words or patterns is deciphered, the history of the other species can be confirmed, and everything about them can be known. ”
"Yes, yes. Lao Zhao said hehehe: "This is precious information, you have to study it well when you go back." ”
