In this way, everyone lined up in two columns of two, followed behind Ah Shui, the "discardable asset", and cautiously walked cautiously towards the sea of flowers on the other side. By the time I looked back, the Santu River in the distance was getting more and more blurred, and I guess that when the fog was together, I should not be able to see it at all, probably.

Thinking of this, my heart is also tight, in this world that is difficult to distinguish from all directions, if I lose the Santu River as a reference system, and face the endless sea of flowers, it is really difficult for me to find a way to locate the direction.

Thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the story of the Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou Shifeng to make a guide car, alas, it's a pity, seeing that the crimson incense mist around is getting thicker, but there seems to be no such talent in the team - even Jin Siniang, who is good at medical skills, is inevitably helpless in terms of pathfinding and positioning, after all, this is really not her strong point.

Seeing that the fog was rising, and the visibility around me was also reduced to less than fifty meters, everyone couldn't help but start to panic, and Ah Xia, who was interlocking with my fingers, also held my trembling hand tightly. Feeling her uneasiness, I also forced myself to calm down, if I collapsed first at this time, then if I encountered danger, how to protect her? Thinking of this, I also walked a few steps closely, pulling Ah Xia to catch up with Linda who was following Ah Shui, for some reason, my intuition told me that she should be the most peaceful person in the team at the moment.

Seeing that her scattered eyes still revealed the calmness of the unfazed confusion, I couldn't hold my breath anymore, so I hurriedly saw the opportunity, suppressed my nervousness, deliberately put on a casual appearance, and asked her calmly:

"Linda, are you sure? Are we still going in the opposite direction to the Santu River? ”

"Of course I'm not sure. I don't know anything that you cultivators don't know. Linda said, also with a trademark shrug and a "you've found the wrong person" expression. This guy is obviously very aware of the uneasiness in my heart, but he made a look of hanging high that has nothing to do with himself, and by the way, he ridiculed a leading Taoist doctor headed by Jin Siniang, fortunately, everyone is a self-aware sage, and he will definitely not raise the bar with her at this juncture when his life is hanging by a thread. It's just that, as someone who knows a little bit about Linda's supernatural skills, I can't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Linda, who pretends to be mysterious—I hate this feeling of confusion the most, and I don't feel safe at all—but, although I'm angry, I still have to keep smiling...... Alas, who made us inferior in skills. I really want to curse, at this time.

"Plum, don't worry, Miss Linda must have her own plans. Don't you say she's a good survival player in the wild, believe her? Seeing that I was unhappy, Ah Xia hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, praised Linda with what I said before, eased the tense atmosphere, and then skillfully adjusted the focus of the pathfinder flashlight to the high beam mode - I remember that when she could see Santuchuan just now, she consciously turned on the flashlight to calibrate the bearing, looking at this posture and direction, it should have been selected when she saw the Styx for the last time. Well, surprisingly reliable, this girl is really.

"Ho~ Pretty smart, I know the principle of using light to propagate in a straight line." Linda saw Ah Xia's series of unfazed operations, and the corners of her mouth twitched, and she praised her calmly.

"It's still Miss Linda, who is still good enough to keep her composure in this situation." When Ah Xia heard Linda praise her, she also smiled, and in turn praised Linda's composure. These two women actually praised each other by themselves, and for a while, they actually left me aside, so embarrassing.

"Well, I just don't know if the conduction of light still follows the same physical laws in the time and space of this world." After discussing it with Linda, Ah Xia also raised a little doubt in her heart.

"Oh, when you have doubts, aren't you Taoists accustomed to observing with the 'eye of the heart'? If I were you, I would have used that method a long time ago. When Linda heard this, she also smiled lightly, and inadvertently mentioned the "Wangqi" that we were quite familiar with.

In fact, why do you have to say it, Jin Siniang, Zhengxiong, including me, and the blind master and apprentice, have hardly stopped using their hearts and eyes to observe the situation along the way. However, staring at the sea of flowers for a long time, under the flow of crimson qi like waves, I really didn't see anything abnormal, and over time, I was somewhat aesthetically fatigued, and the sensitivity of Wangqi gradually decreased. I really don't know what Linda's purpose is when she mentions this at this time.

Thinking of this, I also involuntarily lifted my spirit, and scanned the surroundings with my eyes, and sure enough, in addition to our own qi, there was still a crimson haze of heaven and earth, and there was no special situation at all-

Wait a minute! What is that!

When I reacted, I realized that under my mind, five meters in front of me, a whirlpool of ink-colored qi suddenly appeared, which was so clear and close in the large crimson mist-

"Be careful!"

"Ouch!"

When I screamed, it was already a step too late, and Ah Shui had already fallen to the ground in response to my exclamation, making a muffled "poof" sound. Needless to say, his front teeth should have broken a few in this real "mouth gnawing mud".

"I rub, I rub, my teeth! What the hell, dare to trip you Brother Shui! After a series of abuses, Ah Shui also covered his bloody mouth and climbed up. It seems that he has nothing to do except for choking enough and almost breaking his appearance. What, then, is it that causes him to suffer?

Not only me, but everyone carefully gathered around the stone slab, which was still half of its body tilted and buried in the ground, and carefully examined it.

"Plum, this should be a stone tablet! Look, there's a word on it! "Ah Xia, who was born in the cultural relics and archaeology team, saw the dry goods, naturally her eyes were full of light, and without waiting for me to greet her, she carefully rushed forward, and completed the preliminary investigation in an instant, pointing to some carved marks where the stone slab entered the soil, and shouted to me excitedly.

"Well, there's a lot of stuff written about it." I followed Jin Siniang and Linda to surround her shouts, took a closer look, and affirmed Ah Xia's judgment.

Without further ado, since there is some information recorded on it, maybe it can help us get out of this place that has been in despair for a long time. Dig it.

Just do it.

After a while, everyone worked together, and all the parts of the stone tablet inscription were carefully exposed, but the next question was more specific: these two actions are like a frightened bird, and the tadpole text of the pen and snake is gone, we don't know it!

And, unfortunately, now that the phone has no signal at all, I instinctively want to connect to the Internet and Google Bing, but I can only give up - provider, what about the good "global communication"?! – or is it that we're in a position where we're out of global coverage...... It's scary to think about.

However, the problem waits for no one, since the call for foreign aid fails, it can only rely on the assets in the team. So, when everyone looked at each other, I also habitually looked at Linda and Jin Siniang in turn.

"Don't look at me, I'm just a journalist. Not an archaeologist. Linda was surprisingly direct this time.

"I don't know, I'm specialized in acupuncture. Ancient texts are such things, Lei Datong, who likes to dance and ink, may still know something. Jin Siniang also clasped her hands, habitually thinking about Marlboro rationally, and suddenly remembered that the cigarettes had been confiscated by Zhengxiong.

This kind of work of studying traditional culture is even more impossible to count on by the blind master and apprentice from the poor mountains and bad waters, and Zhengxiong, who returned from studying abroad, also shook his head and said that he didn't understand. After a spin down, the ball seemed to roll back to me. It's a pity that I'm the first to show that I can't understand it, is this posture to make me sacrifice today's daily power, use Vipassana channeling, and summon my old friend "white-robed man" to solve it? It's too extravagant.

"Wait, plum, I think I've seen this glyph." Everyone was silent, and the one who spoke was Ah Xia, who had been studying the font trend since the beginning and looking for the law of image.

Love you to death! It's my goddess of luck!

Hearing that she had an idea, everyone also showed joy on their faces, quieted down tacitly, and listened to Ah Xia's explanation with great interest.

According to Ah Xia's speculation, this kind of stroke is quite similar to the hieroglyphs of birds in the forest, which should be "bird seals". This font, also known as "Bird Book", is said to be a unique script used by the residents of the Wuyue area during the Warring States period. It originated from the primitive worship of the bird totem of the Wuyue people, and this worship developed to a certain stage, and the unique text of "bird seal" appeared, and this kind of writing is generally only found in Wuyue and Yue. The reason for this is that the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River where the Wuyue people live, with vast plains and numerous lakes, are the ideal environment for birds to survive. This point is also verified by a large number of bird totems found by archaeological experts in the cultural relics unearthed in the Wuyue area over the years.

Speaking, Ah Xia pointed to the inscription on the stone tablet and explained: The main feature of the bird seal is that the pen is like the shape of the bird, and the founders are also on the basis of the seal script, the meaning of the text and all kinds of bird shapes are superbly integrated, or the bird shape is attached to the word next to the word as a decoration, so as to make the text more artistic. According to the cultural relics that have been unearthed, this kind of inscription is mostly used on weapons, and it is the first time she has seen it carved on stone slabs.

After looking at it for a while, Ah Xia also diligently took out the notebook she carried, compared it, and after a few moments of stuckness, she finally succeeded in identifying all the words, and when she wrote it down, it was a sixteen-word ballad:

"The flowers on the other side are blooming on the other side, and the talented and beautiful women will not return."

When I finished reading Ah Xia's translation, I also cleared my throat and read aloud the words in her small book. As a result, everyone waited with bated breath for a long time, but they didn't notice any decent changes around them.

Could it be that Ah Xia translated it incorrectly?

"Moham! Is it a pronunciation problem? was struggling, Jin Siniang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.

It turned out that when she was young, she had learned some knowledge of music and rhythm in the sect with Lei Datong, and among them, the rhythm of the scale headed by the five tones of Gong (gong), Shang (shāng), 角 (jué), 徵 (zhi), and Yu (yu) was the most important. Could it be that the dusty stone monument on the other side of the land really needs the ancient sound to activate!?

Hearing this, we who were still disappointed immediately ignited new hopes, and immediately urged Jin Siniang to read the sixteen-character short song according to the ancient pronunciation she remembered.

After nodding her head and agreeing, Jin Siniang also searched her intestines and scraped her stomach, roughly remembered the ancient tune that she had almost forgotten, and sang it according to the tune of Qingle and Yale-

A miracle appeared: I saw that her last set of Yan Le tunes had not yet been sung, and with this spiritual singing in the sea of flowers, a dungeon with the fragrance of birds and flowers suddenly appeared - saying that it was a dungeon, it seemed that it was far from appropriate, because this group of courtyard communities that appeared silently and majestically was completely built on the surface, and its sprinkling layout was quite secretly in line with the villas and mansions with complete courtyards of modern wealthy families. The only strange thing is that if you don't hum the lyrics and approach, this hill is like a majestic garden hidden in a sea of flowers, but it is categorically unclear, as if it is buried deep in the ground, and it suddenly jumps out of the ground only when someone who is destined to sing and approach!

It's magical.
