Chapter 64: A New Discovery

"Quetzalcoatl, this is Quetzalcoatl. My guess was correct, the Mulskitians were indeed related to the Aztecs. The professor muttered aloud to himself, "Behold, what a beautiful carving, and the Aztec pyramids." ”

After looking at the entire mural, Lee began to observe the entire stone chamber.

This is a square stone room, there is a platform in the center of the stone room, and there is a stone spoon that seems to be magnified dozens of times on the platform, Li walked up to the stone platform and looked, there was a circle around the spoon, on which 10 words were engraved.

"Professor, come and see what this word is."

Professor Miles reluctantly turned around and came to the stone platform to study it carefully.

As he observed, his brow furrowed. "It's weird, it's not like Mayan text. It's a lot like the Chinese oracle bone inscription. ”

Hearing this, the uneasiness in Li's heart strengthened again, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, Master, can this divination technique you teach work, if it is really as I estimated, this journey will not be thrilling or dangerous.

After a while, he patted the professor on the shoulder, "Professor, it's almost time, we have to go back, or they should worry about us." ”

The professor took pictures of the mural and the strange spoon on the stone platform with the camera in his hand, and walked back to the road with Li and them.

Back in the hall, Locke and the others had already arrived, and seeing that they were safe and sound, Li quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"How, what did you find?"

Hal and Dom looked back at the professor and jumped up excitedly, "Professor, come and see, see what we have discovered, this is a heavy discovery in the history of Mesoamerica, there is Quetzalcoatl." ”

"Relax, don't get excited, as researchers we need to stay calm at all times. Come, let me see the pictures you guys took."

Li and Jessica squinted at the old professor, it doesn't seem that your old cousin just now is not much better.

When Dom played out the picture they had taken, Lee and Jessica stepped in.

The frescoes in the passage are not very different from their side, but they also depict the daily life of the Mosquitians, but the difference is that there are more scenes of fighting, such as spears against jaguars and other wild animals, as well as fishing and chasing deer.

When the photo flipped to the back, Jessica happily said, "Oops, this house is the same as we found." ”

"Hmm." The professor nodded, "The layout is almost identical, and the fresco is also feathered. ”

"It's a little different." The sharp-eyed Lee spotted the difference.

He pointed to the top of the picture and said, "Look, the moon is above Quetzalcoatl's head here, not the sun in our room." ”

Hearing this, the professor hurriedly called up the photos in his camera and compared them together.

"That's right, it's the moon on this mural. It's weird, what does this mean? ”

Flipping back, the spoon also appears in their photo.

Jessica pouted, "They're too greedy, aren't they, and there are two big spoons on either side." ”

"Wait, flip back and zoom in." Lee discovered something wrong again.

The photo turned back to the spoon and enlarged it, and Li pointed to the text next to the spoon and asked, "Professor, is there this word in the 10 words you saw just now?" ”

The professor hurried up and carefully discerned.

"10?" Dom, who had been relatively silent, said suspiciously, "I remember I counted 12 words." ”

Twelve? Li thought hard, spoon, ten, twelve, sun, moon.

He suddenly raised his head, startling everyone.

"I think I know what it is."

Everyone looked up at him, and the professor hurriedly asked, "What is it?" You know? ”

Li first pressed down with his hands to keep them from getting excited, and then said, "If what I expected is right, these two spoon-like things should be a kind of ancient Chinese tool for indicating the direction, called Sinan. These two sets of numbers also represent a Chinese chronology called the sexagenary branch. ”

"China, how can this Mesoamerican civilization be related to such a distant civilization?" The old professor frowned and objected.

Li spread his hands, "I'm just guessing, and I suspect that these two Sinans are a kind of organ." Let me do the math first. ”

After a while, Lee said to everyone, "Finley, you go to the left, turn that spoon clockwise, and point to the fifth word with the handle of the spoon." Locke you go to the right and turn the spoon counterclockwise, pointing to the first number. ”

The two nodded, and ran over without asking anything.

"Professor, I can't tell you for a while, so let's wait. If it's what I think it is, you'll never forget it. There is another sentence that Li didn't say, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and I will never forget it.

Not long after, there was a rattling sound from inside the walls of the entire building. Before the noise was over, Locke and the others ran back from the passage.

The crowd stood motionless in the middle of the hall and looked around, and soon Finley pointed in the direction of the statue and shouted, "Look! ”

With a loud bang, a puff of dirt and rubble fell from above the statue, filling the hall with a puff of smoke.

"Don't panic!" Lee grabbed the professor, who was about to run out, and when he heard his shout, Hal and Dom also stopped.

There was a loud bang, and everyone looked to the top of the statue, where a waterfall-like sculpture slowly rose with a rattling sound.

The sculpture rises to the top, revealing a wide passage from which a faint light penetrates the hall, followed by a burst of humid air.

Everyone watched the scene with their mouths wide open, and the wonderful mechanism that they thought would only appear in an adventure movie opened before their eyes, and the unknown world beckoned to them behind them.

"Come, let's go, don't be stunned."

The crowd put away their mouths wide open, only to find that Li had walked down the stairs on both sides of the statue to the door of the passage and greeted them.

Without saying a word, Jessica and the three of them walked up the stairs.

The professor swallowed and spit, looked at each other, on. The three men followed.

Passing through the stone passageway, they walked towards the light. This time, there are no longer murals carved on both sides of the passage, but there are stone platforms at intervals, which should be the place where the ancients put torches.

Walking out of the passage, everyone entered the petrified state again.
