Chapter 140: Mountains and Seas
Everyone got rid of the strange sound of the creature, and their bodies regained control, and if it was any longer, they would probably all suffocate to death. Despite this, the people were still in pain, their limbs were weak, and they were lying on the ground and it was difficult to move, but they kept gasping for breath, as if they had just recovered from a serious illness.
Nanyang and the others were in great distress, looking at the pillar, the pillar was lying on the ground motionless, I don't know what the situation is. Xu Ming shouted a few times, and the pillar moved his head slightly, and then he didn't react again, as if he was unconscious. Everyone looked at Liu Sheng's body again, and saw Liu Sheng's body curled up together, lying in the distance, looking dead.
Nanyang didn't have time to do anything else first, so he picked up the submachine gun with great difficulty, and shot at Liu Sheng's corpse, beating it to the point that the skin was open, the flesh and blood were blurred, and a lot of black blood flowed out. Liu Sheng's body was left with only two legs and a broken waist and chest, and his tentacles and claws were all smashed by bullets, lying on the ground like a pile of rotten flesh.
Everyone didn't react when they saw Liu Sheng's corpse, so they breathed a sigh of relief and finally eliminated the monster. The vibrations in the room gradually subsided, but the ground was still cracking and sinking, and everyone could see that there was a thick layer of metal under the floor, which was also torn apart by the powerful force of the earthquake, and it was unknown how long this room could last. The mechanism outside has not stopped working, but the sound has become intermittent, Qiu Tian looked at the giant door, could it be that this giant door could not be opened? If the mechanism that opened the giant gate had been damaged in the earthquake and locked here, everyone would not be able to leave the ancient ruins.
Li Wanfa staggered to his feet, walked to the sarcophagus, took the jade flute in Gao Qin's hand, and looked at it carefully, this jade flute has a simple shape, and it seems to have no special features, but it is a rare treasure in the world.
Xu Ming asked nervously, "Master Li, what kind of treasure is this?" Is there really mana? He was able to destroy Liu Sheng's monster. ”
Li Wanfa said: "This is a treasure, but it may not have any mana, presumably there are very likely special materials and structures in this jade flute, and the air flow blown by people through the jade flute will make a special sound to subdue those creatures." ”
After Li Wanfa finished speaking, he knelt down to the sarcophagus and kowtowed three times respectfully. He silently recited: "Thank you seniors for leaving magic weapons to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and the juniors are here to thank you." ”
Gao Qin's eyes widened and said, "If this flute is Liu Sheng's nemesis, how can it be placed here?" ”
Li Wanfa said: "When Liu Sheng found this place, he must have thought that this predecessor was already an immortal, so he was buried here with his ancestors, hoping to use the mana of his predecessors to feather and ascend to immortals. How can mortals know the beauty of this jade flute? At that time, people only knew that it was a token of their predecessors, so they all respectfully placed it here. He sighed and said, "The predecessors are unfathomable, clever, and much more powerful than I imagined, and today I really opened my eyes." ”
Nanyang showed a suspicious gaze and said, "Master Li, do you mean that when this old man in white was buried here, he deliberately left a flute to deal with biological weapons?" Can he predict the future? ”
Li Wanfa smiled and said, "Comrade Nanyang, everyone has their own opinion on this kind of thing, and you don't have to take it to heart. ”
Nanyang said coldly: "Master Li, I agree with your explanation of this flute, this flute may have a special structure that can produce a special frequency of sound, and that creature happens to be unable to withstand this tone, so using the flute can defeat the creature." This is a very sound scientific explanation. He continued: "But if this old man can know five hundred years in advance, five hundred years later, and know what is happening today, then he was prepared to deal with these monsters in the first place, why should we be so embarrassed?" To sacrifice so many people? ”
Li Wanfa looked at him deeply and said: "The ancients were good at divination and easy things, and they were indeed able to calculate what would happen in the future. All kinds of things in the heavens and the earth are related in the vastness, and there are potential laws and causal relationships, but it is difficult for us to see through them, and it is difficult to explain them with current science. However, even a master of divination has a limited ability to predict the future, and it is impossible to calculate everything in detail. What's more, the will of heaven is unpredictable, how can my generation see through the deep meaning of my predecessors? ”
Xu Ming looked at the bamboo slip in the sarcophagus and said, "Hey, Master Li, according to what you say, this bamboo slip should also be left to us by the old-timers?" ”
Li Wanfa looked at the bamboo slips in the sarcophagus and said, "So far, we can only take a look." He bowed deeply to the sarcophagus again, and respectfully took out the bamboo slips from the sarcophagus. Li Wanfa opened the bamboo slip, looked at it, and was stunned.
Li Wanfa handed the bamboo slip to Nanyang and others, Nanyang held the bamboo slip, this bamboo slip was very long, very heavy, everyone was surprised: the bamboo slip was actually a mysterious map.
The bamboo slips are outlined in a concise style with complex terrain, and the lines are beautiful, which shows that the painter's pen is vigorous and elegant, and his identity is extraordinary. There are many mountains, rivers and lakes on the map, which seem to be a vast area, but there are no place names or proportions, and the actual area of the map cannot be seen, and many places are marked with strange symbols.
Nanyang and the others could not read the strange symbols on the map, nor could they tell what terrain the map recorded, because there was no explanation, so it was difficult to figure out whether it recorded the terrain of a certain area or the terrain of a larger space (such as a province).
Xu Ming opened his eyes and said nervously, "...... This...... What kind of picture is this? ”
Gao Qin said: "It seems to be an ancient exploration record, senior brother, you look at these markers, they are very similar to modern markers." However, Gao Qin and Xu Ming still couldn't read the symbols on the map, and they even thought that these strange symbols were not ancient texts on the earth, but just a bunch of symbols with special meanings.
Nanyang knew that although Gao Qin and Xu Ming were young, they were familiar with the ancient scripts of the world, such as oracle bone inscriptions, golden inscriptions, and cuneiform scripts, but they both
Clueless about the symbols on the map, Nanyang used his knowledge to judge the places and content depicted on the map. As an agent of the National Security Bureau, Nanyang is familiar with the terrain of various provinces in China, as well as the terrain of many classified and sensitive locations, but he has not found any similar or related topographical clues.
Li Wanfa frowned when he saw Nanyang and the others, looked dazed, and said, "Comrades, do you think this map is very strange? I have an opinion on this diagram. ”
Xu Ming hurriedly said, "Master Li, you say!" ”
Li Wanfa said: "All comrades have heard of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", right? ”
Gao Qin nodded and asked, "What does the map have to do with the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" ”
Li Wanfa said: "The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a book of pictures, the pictures come first, the text comes later, at first it was circulated in the form of pictures, and then the pictures were lost, and only the book of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" remained. Legend has it that the original picture of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" "Mountains and Seas" comes from the drawing pattern on the Jiuding cast by Dayu. "Zuo Chuan - Xuan Gong Three Years" once recorded that "the party of the past summer has virtue, distant pictures, tribute gold and nine herds, casting tripod elephants, and preparing all kinds of things, so that the people know the treachery." Therefore, when the people enter the mountains and forests of Sichuanze, they are not lucky; There is no way to meet it. Use energy to cooperate up and down, in order to bear the day. After Dayu ascended the throne, he pacified the three seedlings in one fell swoop, and the world was peaceful. In order to publicize his merits and show his authority, Dayu issued an order with the courage of the king of the world, and ordered the world's nine herds (the leader of Kyushu) to take the oath of the Tushan Alliance. Dayu decided to cast the bronze from all parties into nine tripods, and painted a pattern on the tripod that embraces the features of all parts of the world. ”
"The Supplement to the Book of Mountains and Seas - Preface" records that "the gold of the nine herds is collected to cast the tripod." Ding Xiangwu, then take the picture of the distance, the wonder of the mountain, the wonder of the water, the wonder of the grass, the wonder of the wood, the wonder of the bird, the wonder of the beast, say its shape, its nature, divide its category, its god and its special convergence, appalling the listener, or see or hear, or constant, or from time to time, or do not have to, all of them are painted one by one. In fact, these patterns are not only geological products, plants, trees, birds and animals, but also include many particularly mysterious places and phenomena. 'Cast a tripod like a thing, and prepare all kinds of things for it, so that the people will know the treachery. Therefore, when the people enter the mountains and forests of Sichuanze, they are not lucky; There is no way to meet it. Li Wanfa continued: "I look at this map, it may be part of the map of the Nine Tripods. ”
After listening to Li Wanfa's narration, everyone was amazed that this map handed down from ancient times was really extraordinary. They looked at the map on the bamboo slip again, and felt that it was indeed esoteric and difficult to understand, and the content of this map and the old man in white was buried here, and its content must be very important.
Qiu Tian looked at the bamboo slips, and suddenly said curiously: "Hey, how does this map look like a global map?" ”
When Nanyang and the others heard this, they were shocked, and then looked at the map, and suddenly realized: they had always thought that the terrain drawn by the map was in the country, and they did not take into account the world map.
