The Boy Out of the Mountain Chapter 15 The Age of Inference

In the deep cave, an unknown number of paulownia trees are two meters long, interspersed irregularly in between, extending down, and the bottom is not visible.

The walls of the cave are exceptionally damp.

"Tick...... Tick...... Tick"

The drops of water dripped on the paulownia wood, and in this silent cave, it was particularly harsh.

"Whew...... Touching ......"

Suddenly, the sound of a heavy object falling was heard, breaking the silence.

Qin Luo and the others jumped down through the paulownia wood between the cave walls.

As the depth increases, the sunlight from the outside world gradually disappears, and the cave becomes darker and darker, and the occasional cool breeze from below makes people feel a little chuckle.

Qin Luo carried Xu Wei on his back, standing on top of a broken paulownia tree, and between the shakes, the hearts of the people watching were shocked.

Qin Luo stared at the black hole-like scene below, frowning.

He raised his head and said to the black shadow above, "Hey, Xiao Chu, are you sure you want to go down?" It's too deep, you can't see the bottom at all, and it's getting darker and darker." ”

Xiao Chu didn't pay attention to Qin Luo's words, he just looked at the broken paulownia trees around him, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long while, just when Qin Luo was impatient, he said, "There is danger down there, but I don't know if it's still there, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not." ”

Qin Luo said curiously, "Dangerous, didn't you just say that the tomb robbers all went out safely?"

"There are two reasons to go out, one is to return with a full load, and the other is to be forced to evacuate because of the danger, and now I am seventy percent sure that there is some kind of danger in the burial chamber below. Xiao Chu said lightly.

With the help of Qin Luo, Xu Wei held on to the cave wall with her hand, stood on a paulownia tree, and wondered, "Why didn't the tomb robbers return with a full load?"

Xiao Chu pointed to the paulownia wood under these feet, "These broken paulownia trees are evidence, the hole is from top to bottom, there are more and more broken paulownia trees, until now, I haven't seen the complete paulownia wood for a while, judging from its fracture opening, it was smashed by heavy objects, so it can be proved that the people who escaped at that time were very flustered, and they used a lot of strength to step on these woods, so there should be some danger below." ”

Qin Luo pouted, "Not necessarily, what if it was broken by the stone you just thrown? ”

Xiao Chu rolled his eyes and was about to say something.

An ethereal voice sounded, "The paulownia wood itself is immortal for ten thousand years, and its vitality is extremely tough, even if you are a half-step heavenly spirit now, it takes a lot of strength to step on a paulownia tree, and it is impossible to rely on stones alone." ”

Ning Xue's words made everyone slightly stunned, you must know that she rarely speaks.

Qin Luo frowned and thought for a while, "Then go back." ”

He himself really wanted to go down, but the safety of Xu Wei and the others did not allow him to explore the unknown below, and his strength was too weak.

Qin Luo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Xu Wei nodded, anyway, Brother Luo can do whatever he says.

Xiao Chu didn't care, although he was curious, the danger seemed to be disproportionate to the possible gains, and this transaction was too bad.

Ning Xue's voice came again, stopping everyone who wanted to act

"You can go down, the danger should come from the main temple. ”

Qin Luo was puzzled, isn't that the same, it's all dangerous.

Xiao Chu suddenly realized, clapped his hands and explained, "Yes, the area leading to this robbery cave should be similar to the side hall, belonging to the attached hall, not within the scope of the main hall complex, and the organs of the side hall should have been lifted, so the tomb robbers can escape alive, the distance between the main hall and the branch hall and the side hall is far, and there should be no mechanism on the road, so it is dangerous to go out of the independent hall." ”

Well, after listening to so much, what branch hall, what main hall, although I don't understand.

But Qin Luo also understood something, and hurriedly asked, "Then we can go down, right?"

Xiao Chu nodded and said, "As long as you don't touch the main hall, the danger shouldn't be great." ”

Qin Luo became excited and said, "Ha...... So what are you waiting for?

Without waiting for Xiao Chu to answer, he picked up Xu Wei again and jumped down.

As the figure disappeared into the black hole below, the voice of words continued to echo in this space.

"Xiao Chu, you kid is really, why don't you carry Ning Xue on your back, her body is not well yet?"

This is good, Xiao Chu looked at Ning Xue with an embarrassed face, not knowing what to do.

Ning Xue didn't seem to hear it, she looked at Xiao Chu expressionlessly, and the two looked at each other silently.

Xiao Chu said embarrassedly, "Eh, then I ......"

Before the words were finished, I saw a gust of fragrant wind blowing, and the condensing snow passed over Xiao Chu and disappeared into the black.

Xiao Chu, who had a messy head, was left behind......

As everyone continued to dive, it became more and more difficult to find paulownia trees that could be stepped on, and the cave walls here were as smooth as mirrors as if they had been impacted.

Qin Luo relied on his half-step Heavenly Spirit physique, and clasped the mud wall on the side with his hands, forming a climbing posture to maintain the stability of his body.

The hazy light and shadow shone on the surroundings, so that everyone would not be in the darkness like not seeing the five fingers.

Fortunately, Xu Wei is a light magician, although she is only a beginner, and the light is very small, but it is enough in this dark cave.

I don't know how long it has passed, Qin Luo feels a little tired.

Finally!

The faint blue light shone from under him, the green light and shadow looked very weird, Xu Wei unconsciously grabbed Qin Luo's clothes, this kind of scene is still very restrained for girls.

Looks like we're going to the bottom......

"Tread"

Accompanied by some gravel and sand, Qin Luo took Xu Wei and floated down, with a broken stone at his feet, which seemed to be the one Xiao Chu threw down.

After Qin Luo put down Xu Wei, he looked around.

They were in a square stone chamber made of blue bricks, covering an area of about 100 square meters, and as Xiao Chu had estimated, the ceiling above their heads was in a semicircle, and they didn't know how to build it to withstand the weight of the earth 100 meters above.

The wall lamps on the surrounding walls glowed with cautious blue light, and if you look carefully, the inside of the wall lamps is white jade, and it is these jades that have a few lights in the originally dark tomb.

The walls of the stone chamber are carved with unknown symbols and images.

Qin Luo felt that these were all like ghost talismans, twisted and twisted, weird, anyway, his eyes were black, and he didn't know what they meant.

Directly in front of him was a half-hidden stone gate, and the stone gate was full of cracks.

Qin Luo walked over and saw through the half-hidden stone door that looked like a long tomb in the back, all of which were built of blue bricks and jade as lamps.

"Bang"

While Qin Luo was observing, Xiao Chu and Ning Xue also landed one after another.

Qin Luo looked at the two of them and said, "You guys are really slow, what next, can you just open the door and go over?"

But Xiao Chu and Ning Xue ignored Qin Luo, both attracted by the strange symbols on the wall.

Slightly embarrassed, Qin Luo was depressed for a while, Xu Wei snickered on the side, and dispelled a little trembling......

Xiao Chu lightly touched the symbol engraved on the wall with his hand and said, "This should be a side hall." ”

Qin Luo pursed his lips and said, "So what, didn't you say it just now?"

Xiao Chu shook his head, walked to the mural, gently touched the concave and convex words with his hand, his eyes became more and more fanatical, as if he had discovered something amazing, and said, "I was guessing just now, and now I am sure." ”

Hearing this, Ning Xue suddenly looked at Xiao Chu with a strange gaze.

Qin Luo and Xu Wei didn't know what it meant.

Xiao Chu brushed over the text and explained, "This hall is called Siguo Palace, and it is a room used to punish wrongdoers and confine them. ”

Qin Luo looked at Xiao Chu's appearance and was a little puzzled, "You...... Can you read these symbols?"

Xiao Chu turned his gaze away from the stone wall, shook his head at Qin Luo, and said, "I can only understand this, but the other words can't be explained." ”

Qin Luo frowned and said, "Words, these are words, I've never seen them before." ”

Xiao Chu's appearance was a little sighing, a little surprised, and a little excited, "These are indeed words, but they do not belong to our time, and they do not even belong to all the shapes of fonts that have evolved since the Cambrian. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Chu pressed his face directly against the wall.

"Do you know what an impact it will have on our time if the information it is written is deciphered? ”

Xiao Chu like this, Qin Luo and Xu Wei had only seen it when Xiao Chu drank the residue "medicinal food", which made their bodies tremble for a while.

Qin Luo swallowed his saliva and said carefully, "Cambrian?

Xiao Chu was obsessed with the words and ignored his questioning.

Qin Luo wanted to step forward and wake him up, but saw Xiao Chu's fanatical appearance......

"Forget it...... Wait a minute. ”

Qin Luo would never admit that he was a little weak-hearted.

At this time, Ning Xue whispered, "The Taiji Metaverse doesn't know what year it was born, and countless eras of cultures have appeared during this period, and they have long been counted. Therefore, in order to clearly distinguish the eras, the ancestors divided the epoch period according to time, cultural faults, and major historical changes...... It is combined and redivided, and it is called the "epochal era". After the Battle of the Sealed Demons, the Great Qian Dynasty was established, and the time was calculated in the new calendar, and the period up to now is called the New Era, and the period before the New Era is called the Cambrian. ”

With Ning Xue's explanation, Qin Luo suddenly realized.

"Then what Xiao Chu, this kid said doesn't belong to the Cambrian Universe, does it mean that these words are from another era of the Universe?"

Ning Xue nodded and continued, "According to ancient documents, from ancient times to the present, the Yuan Universe is divided into six: Cambrian, Proterozoic, Archean, Cryptozoic, Hades, and Pangea. The transition period between the Universe and the Universe is called the Age of the Beginning, and the entire Demon Sealing War ends in the first year of the new calendar, and all the epochs in between: the Scarlet Age or the Dawn Era...... All are collectively known as the Sixth Age of the Beginning of the Beginning, but ...... All the research materials before the Cambrian have disappeared, so we can only know the name of the pre-Cambrian period called the "Five Universes" in antiquity, and we cannot speculate on what happened, and we cannot be sure whether it really existed. ”

"But that's no longer the case. Xiao Chu's voice sounded, and his expression had recovered as before.

He showed an extremely regretful expression and said: "The existence of this tomb proves the authenticity of the ancient "Five Universes", but it is a pity that the fault line of history makes it difficult for us to translate these "Biwen".

Saying that, Xiao Chu sighed, "I have read a lot of ancient books, and the earliest form of the known paleographs comes from the early Cambrian period, which is called "paleographies". These "Biwen" are a little different from the "ancient style". Alas, in the final analysis, after the First World War, a large number of races were destroyed, and the cultural inheritance disappeared too much, even the information of the Cambrian cannot be fully explored. ”

Xu Wei said strangely, "Brother Chu, then how did you translate "Siguo Palace"?"

Qin Luo was also puzzled, didn't he have the information of the ancient "Five Universes"?

Ning Xue was also shocked, and she was startled when she saw Xiao Chu translating these words.

Xiao Chu explained, "My father's collection contains half of the fragmentary book, called "Fengwuzhi" and the early Cambrian period, which tells all kinds of strange people and strange things, and one of the contents mentions the story of the fifth era of Taishi, the story contains the font at that time, and compared the plot, I translated those words, including the word "thought", and here is compared with each other, if I have not carefully studied the changes in the font, I really can't see it." ”

Xiao Chu looked at the "Biwen" on the wall and sighed, "But even so, these "Biwen", looking at their image, and those fonts of the Fifth Age of the Taishi, there are very few similarities, so this should be at least the tomb at the end of the Proterozoic, I thought this should be at the end of the Cambrian period, but now it seems that it is really sitting in a well and watching the sky, this tomb has existed for much longer than I imagined, this is really too ......"

Seeing that Xiao Chu's fanatical appearance was about to rise again, Qin Luo hurriedly said, "Is the time span between the universe and the universe very long?"

Xiao Chu said, "According to the records, the time span is not unique, you must know that the span between epochs ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of years, and the time span of a universe is estimated to start at least millions of years, and the span between the middle and end of the Cambrian is now known to be as long as seven million years, and the early period is no longer examinable." And our nascent universe is only 20,000 years old. ”

Qin Luo and the others really couldn't imagine that in that case, the birth of the world would probably have been hundreds of millions of years ago.

"But this is just speculation, in addition to the Cambrian does exist, most of the epochs on it are speculated by later generations, and there is no direct evidence to prove that it is recorded in the font of the fifth era of the Taishi, even the early Cambrian is not impossible. Ning Xue shook her head and said.

This made Qin Luo and the others look at her with some surprise, after Ning Xue came to Qianlong Village, she communicated with people very rarely, but she didn't expect that this time she not only showed her erudition, but now she also came out to refute Xiao Chu's words.

"Hey, that's a really interesting thing. Qin Luo looked at Ning Xue and Xiao Chu with interest.

Xiao Chu took a deep look at Ning Xue, and said lightly, "The direct proof is the text itself."

After a pause, he looked at the "wall text" and said, "The text itself is diverse, that is, our world also has a variety of fonts such as "class", "elf script", beast script, etc., and all cultures and eras have words according to their cultural characteristics to express, but no matter what kind of text, if there is no fault in the times, its evolution cannot escape the transformation of image-meaning-sound, so ...... No matter how long it takes, even if it is the time of the entire epoch, the origin of writing can be traced back to the origin of "pictographs", and no matter how it changes in later generations, it can find its similarity, or shape, or meaning, or writing habits, so one thing that can be determined is ......."

Xiao Chu lightly touched the "Biwen" with his finger and said, "These fonts also have the Fifth Age font on the Fengwu Chronicles, and the "ancient style" of the early Cambrian In contrast, the beginning and end of the lines between the first two texts, the symbolic expression and the early Cambrian style have no similarity, which proves that it is not homologous, which is one, the other: the most obvious evidence, from the image of the beast mixed between the words, all the creatures in the world, its appearance and form come from the environment, the so-called survival of the fittest, these beasts on the tomb wall, all have no facial features, the whole body is smooth, and the body is more similar to the "spirit dolphin" and "triangular beast" in the beast family. And this kind of body form cannot survive in our current environment. Therefore, I am 80% sure that the origin of this cemetery is at least at the end of the Proterozoic. ”

Ning Xue nodded in admiration, unconsciously sighing in her heart for Xiao Chu's erudition, of course, Qin Luo and Xu Wei were used to it, and applauded blankly on the side......

Anyway, I didn't understand.

You must know that Qin Luoke often calls Xiao Chu a "living book".

Finally, after listening to the "Divine Language" for a long time, Qin Luo stepped forward and said curiously, "Say, then can you translate these?"

Xiao Chu rolled his eyes and said, "Translation is possible, but it is very reluctant, and it takes a lot of time, I guess I can translate half of it in ten years......"

Qin Luo said speechlessly, "Then what are you excited about, let's go, let's see what is in this tomb?"

After saying that, he turned around and left......

Xiao Chu looked at Qin Luo helplessly, and said that he was really playing the piano to the cow for a long time, but he really had a great interest in this tomb palace.

......

"Squeak"

With a thick cloud of smoke, the stone door that had been sealed for a long time was opened.

What is shown in front of everyone is a downward circular tomb road, and on the stone walls on both sides are murals, on which are painted are all that kind of strange creatures, strange shapes, and the appearance is quite hideous, which makes people can't help but mutter.

"Dada...... Da Da ...... Da Da ......"

The footsteps of the crowd were extremely harsh in this silent space, and the occasional yin wind blowing between the passages made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

In this strange atmosphere, everyone remained quiet, and they were really in no mood to speak.

Xu Wei unconsciously grabbed Qin Luo's palm, as if she could feel a little safe.

Even Ning Xue on the side, her little face was a little pale.

Feeling Xu Wei's fear, he gently patted Xu Wei's little hand, smiled at her, and signaled her not to be afraid......

But, having said that, it was the first time for Qin Luo himself to enter this kind of place, and his psychology was still very empty.

This may be an ancient tomb from the Proterozoic period, and the ancient tomb can be preserved to this day, and its interior is still almost unchanged, and the power of its tomb owner is really unimaginable...... I'm afraid there is no way to live.

However, Xiao Chu comforted them not to worry.

He said that the cracks in the tomb were already obvious, and in some places it had even turned into fragments, revealing the dirt on the surface, and in some places there were traces of black and burnt, which were signs that at least in this area alone, the organs should have been almost exhausted.

Of course, if it was too complete, Xiao Chu would have already spoken out to stop everyone from going down.

This is a lot more reassuring, and the cyan tomb is about a mile long, and it will soon come to an end.

Here is another stone gate, about three meters high.

Xiao Chu stepped forward and knocked, the stone door made a muffled sound, he frowned as if thinking about something, and whispered to Qin Luo on the side, "Something is wrong?"

Qin Luo asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Chu shook his head, and without explanation, he motioned for Qin Luo to come over and open the door together.

The two of them pushed the huge door with both hands, only to hear the muffled noise, the dust fell from the crack in the door, the ceiling fell, and the stone door was slowly pushed open.

...... Surprisingly, although the giant gate looks tall and heavy, it is actually very light.

The giant door was opened

Everyone walked towards the giant gate, which is a huge square, estimated to have tens of thousands of square meters.

Two tomb beasts about 10 meters tall are placed on both sides of the center of the main road, which looks very powerful.

In the center of the square is a circular white stone altar, about five meters high, with a white stone staircase leading to the altar.

Everyone looked around, and the square was supported by dozens of huge bronze columns, and the dome was a galaxy-like brilliant jewel, illuminated by blue jade stones, shining with dazzling luster.

At the end of the square is a huge bronze gate of the same height as the square, which looks majestic and solemn.

But the crowd was not attracted by the beautiful scenery, nor was they intimidated by the majestic architecture.

On the contrary, Qin Luo and the others' faces were a little ugly.

As a result of his gaze, there were hundreds of white bones all over the green bricks, glowing with an eerie phosphorescence, and he was extremely cautious.

You must know that this tomb may not have been opened for 20,000 years, so these white bones may be people from the Cambrian period, such a long time, the white bones stay in the air but do not decay, and most of them maintain this crystal color, you can imagine how strong their strength was during their lifetime, but they all died here, why! What is the danger of this square!!

Qin Luo said solemnly, "This shouldn't be the main hall, what's going on with these white bones, and is there still an organ?"

The speed of speech was extremely fast, showing Qin Luo's inner unpeace.

Xiao Chu's face became more and more ugly, and he frowned and said to Qin Luo, "This is not the main hall, the main hall should be behind the bronze giant gate, and the power of the mechanism will either be greatly reduced or disappear, but...... Something is wrong, I wonder what I'm missing?"

Qin Luo said, "What is missing?"

He also felt a faint danger, this was the sixth sense given to him by the half-step Heavenly Spirit, more intuition, but most of it was extremely accurate.

Xiao Chu shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and suggested that everyone leave quickly in case of accidents.

Qin Luo didn't want to take risks in his heart, it didn't matter if he was himself, but Xu Wei would blame himself for the rest of his life if something happened to them.

At the moment when everyone turned around

It backfired, and everyone found that the huge door that had come in had closed at some point, silently, without a trace of movement.

Qin Luo stepped forward, and with all his strength, he couldn't push this stone gate.

"Damn" Qin Luo slammed his fist on the giant gate, and only a few scars appeared.

At this time, Xiao Chu's face was very pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "I...... Got it. ”

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

"Ahhh......h

"Hahaha......"

......

As soon as Xiao Chu's words fell, a noisy voice suddenly came to mind around him, like a sneer, like an angry howl......

Between the scattered white bones, a strange cloud of smoke floated, and after a writhing, it turned into a humanoid shadow.

Strange cries, ethereal bodies, white yin qi. All this ......

Xiao Chu gritted his teeth and said, "Ghost Shadow Yin Spirit!"
