Chapter 138: Marumatsu 3 (I)

With the road opened by Chen Badai, the road was much smoother, Wang Xingguo kept an eye on it, although Kerry promised that the cannibals would not chase in, but he still set up a few traps on the road, if the cannibals really chased in, at least he would give himself a little warning time.

"Whew...... It's this big beetle...... Well, there are dozens of these stone platforms...... "Chen Badai led the way and took people to the place where they found the stone pillars and stone platforms.

"There's ...... over there," Mr. Min added.

But Kerry didn't listen to them at all, and when he first saw these stone pillars, the whole person seemed to be enchanted, and his eyes were attracted to death, and he stroked the human head on the top of the stone pillars, and found that some places were damaged, and said distressedly: "This is a crime...... Crime...... It's priceless......"

Chen Badai shrugged his shoulders, how could it be related to crime if he broke such a stone, even if he didn't pull it down, it would fall down by itself one day.

Kerry leaned on the edge of the stone pillar and carefully read the symbols on it, and he found that these symbols seemed to be more ancient, and there were many symbols that were not found outside, and there were more types, which made him fall into confusion, it stands to reason that the more the writing is developed, the more complex it is, how can it be less and less developed?

As long as the text is formed, there will be a inheritance. Over the years, people have been adding more and more words according to new things, but here it seems that the stone platforms and pillars here are many years earlier than the time at the mouth of the canyon, but the writing is richer, and there are more intricate patterns and reliefs that are not available outside.

"Mr. Min, where is Lu Wen?" Xia Ruobing was obviously more interested in Lu Wen.

"I'll take you." Mr. Min looked at Wang Xingguo, and he did not object.

"You guys help me clean up this area, I need more information...... Kerry said.

"But...... Time ......," Wang Xingguo reminded.

"No...... Yes, this is a major discovery, and it could be a discovery that will upend human cognition...... UFOs, I'm sure, the ancestors of these people, really came into contact with UFOs......" Kerry said excitedly, and then added, "They will never chase after them, I am sure this is their holy place......"

"The holy land is still abandoned...... Chen Badai muttered, looking at Wang Xingguo, cleaning up this large area is not an easy task.

"Do as he says...... I'll go to the rear guard, Crussell, you assist Kerry, Mr. Min, you and Xia Ruobing don't run far. Wang Xingguo thought about it, and at this time, even if he forced them with a gun, he would not leave, so he had to say: "I'll go to the police." ”

Wang Xingguo found a good warning position, this area has been abandoned for at least 200 years as Kerry said, rattan and shrubs have blocked most of the place, and you have to use a machete to make a way in the jungle, Wang Xingguo is in this position in the creek, just to monitor the road that has been opened.

Xia Ruobing came to the relief, and Mr. Min pointed to the text under the relief: "I think I'm not mistaken, it's indeed Lu Wen." ”

"Yes." Xia Ruobing could see it at a glance.

But the Lu Wen here is the same as the one in the cave, and it can't be connected into a paragraph, but it is more complete than the one in the cave, and there are many words, and judging from the nicks, these Lu Wen are engraved from left to right.

It is obvious that the portrayal does not know the correct way to write the Lu Wen, but why did they engrave it here?

"I heard Kerry say sailboats?" Mr. Min spoke, "The sailing ships of the Age of Discovery, they have been here, and these cannibals have communicated with them. ”

"Could it be that the descendants of Loulan have ever been here?" Xia Ruobing guessed.

"Maybe something from Loulan has been here......" Mr. Min added, "what are the cannibals looking for?" ”

"They're looking for something called Annasum." Xia Ruobing said.

"Huh? How do you know? "Mr. Min is a little strange, the word Annasum, I've heard cannibals say it many times, but what the hell is it?

"Intuitively, if they really want to kill us, they have too many chances, but every time someone calls out to Annasum, they stop." Xia Ruobing said.

"Kerry said they used Annasum to ask the gods for forgiveness." Mr. Min remembered Kerry's words, "Do we have the Annasum they want?" But what does it have to do with Lu Wen and Loulan? ”

"No...... I think it's something else, or ritual...... Must be tasted......" Xia Ruobing couldn't say clearly, but she strongly felt that this Anna Sum had something to do with herself, because several times, she found that those cannibals were staring at her for a long time, and what was revealed in her eyes was not the ferocity of looking at others, but a kind of surprise, but she couldn't understand the meaning behind that surprised gaze.

"Hmm...... The mummy appears to be female, somewhat similar to what we see at the entrance. Mr. Min said suddenly.

When Xia Ruobing heard this, she felt that it was indeed a little familiar.

"Is the stone statue Annasum?" Xia Ruobing asked

"I think the traces on the stone platform are for storing the corpse, and they put the corpse here, maybe when the corpse is decomposed, and then wrap it up and bury it." "But that's speculation, let's see what new Kerry can discover." ”

"How much do you think Kerry said is true?" Xia Ruobing raised his worries, Kerry's thinking was not the same as that of traditional scholars, and his mind was full of all kinds of strange ideas.

"But he's the only paleographer here, and we don't have a choice." Mr. Min shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and looked at the sky again, it was starting to darken, and it seemed that he needed to spend the night here today.

"Chen Badai, how is the situation over there?" Wang Xingguo called Chen Badai on the walkie-talkie.

"Whew...... Call...... We're moving bricks...... I don't know ...... now" Chen Badai's panting voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Hmm...... What did Kerry say? Wang Xingguo asked again.

"The gods are babbling there, as if a ghost has fallen on his body......," Chen Badai said angrily, he had now cleared more than a dozen square meters of land, and the vines and shrubs that had been cleared out could already be piled up into a hill.

Kerry said the same as Chen Badai, really like a ghost, muttering words that no one could understand, running here for a while, running there for a while, gathering in front of those stone carvings and symbols, eager to stick his face to it, and from time to time commanding Chen Badai and others to clean up here, clean up there...... Chen Badai was almost exhausted by him......

"Inform everyone, we may be spending the night here tonight." Wang Xingguo said on the walkie-talkie.

"What?! Stay overnight?! Chen Badai exclaimed.

"Yes, overnight ......," Wang Xingguo said affirmatively.

Chen Badai opened his mouth and just wanted to scold, when did this happen, and he dared to spend the night here, but when he thought about it, Wang Xingguo was too small by himself, and it was definitely not appropriate to scold him, so he had to endure it and let thousands of grass and mud horses gallop in his heart......

"You've all heard that...... I'm going to spend the night here tonight. Chen Badai stuffed the walkie-talkie into his pocket and informed everyone angrily.

"Great...... That's great......" Everyone was upset when they heard this, but Kerry rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Hey...... Digging people's ancestral graves is still so happy. Chen Badai lamented, the things in the minds of these people who are engaged in research must be different from their own, if it were Chen Badai, they would have slipped away at this time.

"Kerry...... There were also some stone platforms found there...... "Sherpa cleaned the edge area, he crossed the gap in the jungle, and found that there was another side of the creek, curious, he walked over to take a look, that area seemed to be better cleaned up, there were not many stone platforms, and they were not so wide, only about a few dozen square meters.

"Wait...... Wait...... I'm going to decipher it here. Kerry leaned over a stone platform and waved excitedly.

"Hey...... Mr. Xia, I said that you don't have much to do when you are old, okay......" Chen Badai was about to die of exhaustion, and when he heard that there was still work to do, he complained.

"Oh God...... They are a people left behind...... Yes, they are a forsaken people......" Kerry shouted like crazy, everyone stopped what they were doing, looked at Kerry in amazement, Chen Badai even began to sympathize with her, thinking that he would find a better mental hospital for him after he went back.

"It's incredible...... You won't believe it...... They are not like us...... They are the ones who drifted here with the continent...... Their account is true......" Kerry didn't care about other people's eyes, and excitedly announced: "I'm going to subvert everyone's perception!" ”

"Hmm...... In the world of mental illness, they have long subverted everyone's perceptions. Chen Badai said in a strange way.

"There's one last bit left...... There is one last point left...... Anna Sum ...... What the hell does Annasum mean......" Kerry crouched down in pain, pulling at his hair. In Chen Badai's view, this is the third level of mental illness, and if he doesn't treat it, he can become a character like Hannibal......

"Could it be a funeral custom? Wrapping the body and burying it? Xia Ruobing remembered Mr. Min's guess.

"Nope! It's not that simple! This stone statue is a prayer, it is not Annasum...... The cannibals carved all the words they could pray on......"

"Lu Wen also prays?" Xia Ruobing was confused by Kerry, is Lu Wen on this mummy's statue also praying?

"They think that all prayers ...... Lunwen may be the language of heaven to them......" Kerry pondered, trying to connect the dots.

"Sherpa, you said just now, there is a stone platform over there? No, no, no...... They call it the Holy Spirit Altar......" Kerry suddenly jumped to his feet, remembering the words of the Sherpa .

"Yes......" Sherpa replied honestly, ignoring Chen Badai's desperate looks.

"Clean it up now...... I think there's something I need there......" exclaimed Kerry, who was the leader at the moment.
