Chapter 454: Absolute Queen (Text)
Just as they were about to go back to the tree and search for it, several thunderbolts thundered in the sky!
The huge sound shook Zhang Meng's ears a little deafening, and the sky instantly darkened, like a precursor to a rainstorm.
"Wouldn't it, there would be thunder and rain in this kind of place? It was so coincidental that we met ......."
Zhang Meng was dumbfounded all of a sudden, this world is really full of wonders, the annual rainfall in the Taklamakan Desert is only a few hundred milliliters, and he actually caught up with a heavy rain at this time, plus they were almost thirsty to death before, looking at the current situation, it is really a bit ridiculous.
"I said, do you want to fuck out of the rain?"
The fat man also looked depressed, they had slept late today, and the time for another day of ink was gone.
And the main thing now is that they are not sure what will happen to this 'ghost town' once it gets dark, and they still have some lingering feelings when they think of what happened last night.
"Forget it, there are many things in the desert where there is no rain but thunder, and there is nothing particularly humid here that will lead to thunder, so let's hurry to the big tree and study the slate carefully, otherwise it will have to be delayed until tomorrow."
Xiao Lou shook his head and said, they have been coming to this Taklamakan Desert for nearly half a month, although the compressed biscuits they carry and the water stored by the plants here can provide them with a good life for a long time, but they can't eat these non-nutritious things for a long time.
The compressed biscuits themselves have very little nutrition, and although the plant juice here is non-toxic, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems when you drink it for a long time.
In fact, it is obvious that now it can be felt that the body of everyone in the team is far less abundant than at the beginning, so if you can speed up your pace at this moment, you must speed up your pace, otherwise if it drags on for more than ten or twenty days, I am afraid that everyone's body will collapse.
Zhang Meng nodded in agreement, and after the three of them made some preparations, they walked towards the 'building tree' again.
The bluestone slab on the ground, in the dim light, seemed to shine with a strange light, like a magical stone **** Zhang Meng and them go.
With their previous experience, Zhang Meng and their speed were much faster, and they didn't have to worry about those vines attacking them.
"Fatty, you still have to be on guard around, Xiao Lou and I will leave after translating the words on this stone slab!"
Zhang Meng thought about it and said to the fat man uneasily.
The murderous vines seemed to have been burned by the fire, but there was no guarantee that something else would emerge.
"Yes, you two speed up, panic at these fat men in red."
The fat man was holding an automatic rifle and was on the sidelines.
On the stone slab, there were a lot of charred black things like dirt, and I don't know if it was sand scorched by the mountain fire, and a thin layer was covered on it.
Zhang Meng and Xiao Lou hurriedly pushed away all the dirt, and then looked at the handwriting on the stone slab, fortunately, the words they showed with the wet sand last time were still there, which also made Zhang Meng not have to bother so much, and went to expand the words again.
Zhang Meng's heart was a little beating, this stone tablet may have a huge secret recorded, that secret can make Ye Jiu so out of shape, and it may also involve the core secret of the Exquisite Ancient City.
Zhang Meng forcibly calmed down his excitement, and then began to look at the words on the slate.
This slate is supposed to resemble an ancient ritual text, used to record some important chronology, and it can be seen from the material of this slate itself that its value is far higher than that of the two previous slabs that recorded the root of the word.
The words on the slate are also slightly different from what the two of them have seen before, the structure of these words seems to be much more complicated, and it is not as easy to translate as before, and the sides of many words are very similar, which makes Zhang Meng's translation as big as a bucket. Sometimes a simple sentence, he stayed there for more than ten minutes, and he couldn't straighten it out.
"Ah Meng, don't get stuck in one sentence, you first sort out what can be translated, and then we will guess the rest according to the context at that time, maybe some sentences are some lyrical that is not there."
Xiao Lou saw Zhang Meng think for a long time, and then said to him.
"Good!"
Zhang Meng suddenly opened his mouth, translating these things also requires certain skills, Xiaolou is much more experienced than Zhang Meng, and knows how to deal with these complex characters.
If you understand it, you can figure it out carefully, and if you don't understand it, you will ignore it directly, in this way, Zhang Meng's speed is also much faster.
Wu Jue 315, a huge lightning struck here, all creatures within a radius of thousands of miles were extinct, and no grass grew within a hundred years.
Wujue 421, a grass seedling grows in the center of the giant pit, and with an invincible momentum, it has become the largest tree species in the Exquisite Country within ten years.
Wujue 422, the queen gave the name: Wujue Sacred Tree. The sacred tree of contradictions, the sacred and the devil, only those who have no flawless spiritual prayer can be blessed by the sacred tree.
Those who are not sincere in their hearts will be destroyed under the magic of the sacred tree and will be used as food for the holy tree.
It took almost half an hour for Zhang Meng and Xiaolou to read the words on the first slate thoroughly.
Xiao Lou remembered that the root of the word was missing about two-thirds of Zhang Meng, and there were many places that could not be translated.
"What is Wu Jue?"
The fat man was so idle that he was about to take off his pants and play with his eggs, and now he could finally catch up with a sentence, and he naturally couldn't wait to speak.
"It should be similar to the era name of our ancient emperor, such as 'Jian'an Ten Years', this Wujue is likely to be the era name of the Exquisite Queen."
Xiao Lou thought for a while and said.
Well.
Zhang Meng also nodded yes, the character Wu Jue has been used on the slate more than once, even if it is not the name of the Exquisite Queen, it should be something like a country name.
"You see, this exquisite ancient city doesn't seem to be quite like our guesses, huh? We didn't think that this place was extremely technologically advanced, and maybe it had reached the communism that the revolutionary martyrs dreamed of. Now it's not like that, you still have to engage in feudal superstition......"
The fat man shook his head and said, when he saw the words of the sacred and the devil, he decided that this place was still feudal, and it was far from the advanced social form.
"Fatty, it's not right for you to say that, technology and social forms are not equal, for example, like some theocratic countries, even if there is advanced technology, he will put a layer of divine cloak on the outside of science and technology to further consolidate the position of power at the top. Maybe this country is also of this type, using high technology to blind ordinary people! ”
Zhang Meng thought for a while and said, this practice is more classic in some Western countries, where such a starvation situation has occurred in the change of dynasties. Even the most common thunder and rain in nature will give the propaganda a god, just like the current brainwashing, so that others dare not rebel, and can only honestly accept the exploitation of these top powers.
And the last sentence translated seems to verify this statement, those people were completely **** by the fragrance of corpse konjac flowers, and then they were sucked dry of blood by the murderous vines, and they were actually preached as if the sacred tree was punishing the unfaithful.
However, this kind of country has imprisoned the minds of the vast majority of its citizens, so why can they still develop science and technology to such a terrifying level?
Zhang Meng didn't understand that China's 5,000 years had not come to an end until the last century, and it had a very important relationship with the closed country.
The Ming Dynasty developed science and technology, but as soon as it arrived in the Qing Dynasty, the Dog Emperor started to close the country, and the national strength immediately plummeted and was out of touch with the world. In the end, the Eight-Nation Alliance used gunpowder invented by his ancestors to enter the country.
Suppressing his doubts, Zhang Meng continued to look at the words below.
Wujue 500, a natural disaster, the whole country fell into a huge ****, it took three years to quell the riots, and more than 10,000 heads were beheaded. In the same year, the queen received an oracle from the sacred tree and dedicated 223 people of the king's bloodline to the sacred tree at the same time, and the king's bloodline was about to return to the world after a thousand years.
The blood of the king will come to the world in darkness instead of the will of God, and remove the darkness of the world.
Wujue 501, the whole country held a grand memorial for three consecutive months, and at the same time, the national borders were sealed and all external contact was cut off.
……
"Damn, these hundreds of dead people in red clothes are actually the clansmen of the Absolute Queen? This woman is too ruthless. ”
The fat man said dumbfounded, they were still guessing the identities of these red-clothed corpses at first, but they didn't expect to get an answer directly from the stone slab, and this answer was so shocking.
"Habitual means, didn't the slate say that I had experienced a big **** before? It is estimated that she will not be able to escape with these people of hers, and in the end, the Queen of Absolute Perfection simply killed all these people in the name of the Holy Tree......"
Zhang Meng said casually.
"But the strange thing is that these red-clad corpses will come down from the trees in the middle of the night, as if they knew it in the first place."
Xiao Lou looked at the sentence behind him and said a little strangely.
Zhang Meng thought for a while, but also said he didn't understand, he shook his head, and re-read these words, the strangest thing here is that natural disaster came, what does the so-called natural disaster refer to?
I don't know if this natural disaster is true, or does it specifically refer to that ****?
Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment and did not dwell on this issue.
"Closed off the country?"
Looking at the next sentence, Xiao Lou said a little strangely, this is the retreat and closure they discussed before, but I didn't expect it to really happen in the story of the Exquisite Ancient City.
Zhang Meng faintly felt a little strange, to know that in this place in the Western Regions, the foundation of their survival and sustainable development was to exchange various things with the merchants of the Central Plains.
