Chapter 32: The Ancient House
The river descended the mountain and went straight into the town of Redstone.
The town was originally built along the course of the river.
As the main source of water in the town, officials of all dynasties, regardless of whether they are corrupt or not, will take special care of this small river.
For hundreds of years, it is not easy for this small broken river to remain clear.
It's getting close to evening, and if you leave for dinner at this time, you might be able to make it back in time.
But he hesitated again and again, thinking about the obstacles he had just overcome along the way, if he went back at this time, wouldn't it be in vain.
I saw this small river from afar, and just thought of drinking saliva by this river, which scared Wang Yan enough.
There was a gaze staring at him at the bottom of the river.
This section of the river is not too deep, and it is estimated that it is only two or three meters at most.
Although the water here is quite clear, it is late and the light is dim, which is still not clear at first glance
Since awakening this second vision, Wang Yan's ability to perceive the outside world is much stronger than before.
As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the gaps in the trees to the earth.
At this time, the atmosphere in the forest was particularly eerie and terrifying, and the frightened Wang Yan went to the river to take a closer look at the water and confirm it.
Looking down carefully, the scene at the bottom of the river was clearly visible, and Wang Yan was shocked to scream again.
"Oh my god!"
The gaze that Wang Yan subconsciously felt just now was from underwater.
Under the riverbed facing Wang Yan's position, a skull was staring at him.
In this situation, there is a skull or something in this scene, and it is still appropriate.
Wang Yan once again controlled his vision and spread towards the rest of the riverbed, which was almost covered with a layer of white bones.
Hundreds, not thousands? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Wang Yan didn't know what had happened here before, Wang Yan only knew that he was scared enough, and his soul almost floated out to Lao Tzu.
"Vomit ......"
The same scene is also disgusting enough for himself, soaked in the water of dead people's bones, which is a little chilling to think about.
After spitting on the ground, he turned around and wanted to run back, but when he saw that there was no light on the road when he first came at this time, it looked particularly gloomy at this time.
And from time to time the leaves in the forest swayed, accompanied by the humming of wild beasts.
This is over, and there is a dilemma.
Red Rock Town is located in a mountainous area, there are many wild animals in the mountains, many hunters will hunt in the mountains every year for a living, venison and wild boar meat are still very popular in this area, and the prices are often very pleasant.
It's just that the equipment of this ordinary hunter is very rudimentary, and there is not a shotgun or anything here. The weapons were basically crude bows and arrows, and at most they carried a small dagger with a skinned dagger. There are many bears and tigers in the mountains. Most of the beasts encountered by ordinary hunters are more than lucky.
Almost every year, a large number of Orions die here.
The distance Wang Yan came down was not close, and the descent was different from the uphill, and it even took twice as long to go up the mountain on the same journey.
He looked down at the guy he had in hand, the unsharpened pig iron sword.
Isn't this a joke, it's hard to cut a branch with this thing.
If you really meet a tiger bear blind man, a six-year-old kid can't even stuff his teeth between others.
I thought I would go to the house and hide for the night, and wait until dawn tomorrow.
After walking down the stone steps by the river, I could hear the sound of the water rushing in my ears, and I couldn't help but speed up my pace as I heard the sound getting closer and closer.
After passing through a dense forest, it suddenly became clear in front of me, and at this time I had reached the end of the road, and I was greeted by a burst of mist.
A small waterfall cascades down from the cliff on the side, and the bottom is a pool of water washed out by the waterfall day and night.
The pool is not big, but the bottom is crystal clear, and there are no fish in the pool.
Near the waterhole, there is the ancient building complex that Wang Yan looked down at in the palace.
From a distance, it still looks a few luxurious, but when you look closer, you can see that there are ruins, some houses have collapsed in an incredible posture, and only the remaining dozens of buildings are still standing.
Wang Yan saw that most of these collapsed buildings were caused by the aging of the wood body that had fallen into disrepair for a long time.
There were only a few buildings that looked a little abnormal, and it was obvious that they had been split by someone who didn't know what to do, and looking at the size of this house, I couldn't help but think in my heart.
"Could it be the forty-meter-long machete?"
As far as you can see, the scale of this building should have been quite large at that time.
It is estimated that there will be about 200 buildings.
I don't know what the identity of the owner was at that time, if he left it now, then he would be finished, which is properly overstepping his authority.
On the edge of the waterhole, a two-meter-high quadrangular stone monument stands there, and the horizontal lines on it seem to write something. Hurriedly walked up.
I saw that this stone tablet was broken from the middle by some external force, and the original height must be more than that.
There was faint handwriting on it, and Wang Yan held his hand on the inscription and looked at the words between the lines.
"A few of these look like English letters, and a few of them actually have a few simplified Chinese characters Chinese!"
It's just that the handwriting is not clear at all.
Wang Yan has always believed that the current dynasty is closely related to the civilization of Greater China, and the script used by the new Chinese people is simply a slightly distorted Chinese traditional Chinese characters.
Only a few characters are slightly different from traditional Chinese characters.
It is now certain that the stele must have described something in a different kind of writing.
And looking at the base of this stele, you can see that the base of the stele does not match this stele at all.
It's obvious that it's the back of it.
Although this stele has been broken, it is still a few dozen tons.
At this time, Wang Yan was very regretful, and finally found some clues, although it was useless, but after all, it was still a thought for himself.
"It's Dark......"
This building feels safe for Wang Yan, it is very quiet here, not to mention wild beasts, not even small animals.
Somehow, a few crows kept an eye on him from the eaves not far away, and the stone flew away for a while before flying back.
Wang Yan looked around, and was about to find a place for himself to rest for the night.
Looking at those crumbling houses, Wang Yan had to think carefully about whether to go in and rest for a night.
Maybe one of the houses will collapse tonight, just in time for you.
One of the characteristics of the Chinese-style building complex is that the main hall in the center must be the most solid in this area of architecture.
I think it's safer.
Stepping into this complex, Wang Yan felt a special feeling in his heart.
There were gravel and broken wood everywhere, so I picked up a piece of broken wood and put it in my hand and crushed it with a little bit of force to become wet sawdust.
There is a lot of moisture in the air here, and many buildings have grown huge trees in this house.
The branches and leaves of the trees protrude through the walls and ceilings of the house, and it is a scene of life.
It's just that the scene in this house is really a little out of place with the surrounding trees, and the surrounding woods are already full of red leaves, but the few trees that grow here are still so green.
Looking around, I was muttering in my heart.
"Who's got a head cramp and built a house in such a place where birds don't. ”
No one would build such a large house under such a waterfall, so the annual maintenance cost alone is sky-high, and the daily moisture erosion of the house is irreversible.
Looking from afar, the main hall in front of you should be the main hall, which is extremely luxurious in terms of scale and decoration.
The whole building is huge, it looks like a hill from a distance, and the towering tree in the backyard can be seen in front of it.
This tree is not the same as the tree that Wang Yan has seen in his two lives.
"How can there be such a big house here. ”
Although Wang Yan has never seen the palace when he came to this world, he has lived in this palace for several years after all.
Wang Yan asked himself, this house alone, there is no one in the palace that can be compared with this.
When you get closer, this house looks as huge as the Red Stone Pass that guards the gate of the Western Regions.
When he entered the main temple, it was covered with dust.
Walking in the middle of this big point, one footprint at a time, this floor has not been maintained for a long time, and it is all rotten.
There was an extremely strong smell of wood decay throughout the palace.
In the main hall of the main hall, the main seat is on top, and there are more than 20 desks on each side, and each table is full of standard wine and food, but the food inside has long been rotted to ashes.
It looks like the owner of this place once held a banquet here.
"I can't. Wang Yan said secretly.
This complex has been abandoned for a long time, and it looks like it is still some kind of palace.
But Wang Yan now knows the history of this new country and the surrounding countries, and no one in this place should have the financial resources to build such a large-scale complex.
This can't help but make Wang Yan feel a little weird.
But there was still some feast going on, when suddenly a great crowd came and drove them to the river, and slaughtered them. Thinking of the scene he saw by the river, Wang Yan couldn't help but say secretly.
He drew his sword and picked open the pile of drinking vessels on the table next to him, revealing a sheepskin underneath.
The sheepskin was fur side down, and there seemed to be some words written on it.
But because the years are so long, the handwriting on it is difficult to legible.
Gently picked up the sheepskin, and was ready to carry it in his arms and take it away to study it for a while, but who would have thought that this sheepskin was crispy.
Even though the action was very careful, the sheepskin was still crushed.
"Sin ...... Sin"
Wang Yan suddenly felt distressed at this time, thinking of the old professors of the archaeology department in the school at that time, if they were there, they would have to drown themselves in this spit heap.
Where the hell is this, what happened before.
I picked up the wine utensils next to me and took it in the palm of my hand to examine it carefully, wiped the small cup with my sleeve, and bit it with my teeth.
In the hand, a tooth mark is very clear.
Silver, it is estimated that there are also ten taels.
It's heavy in your hand.
