Volume 1 The Coming Storm Chapter 50 The Lost Canyon

"You mean, there's a giant beast hiding in the darkness somewhere here?" Chu Tianyi guessed along with Mu Feng's meaning.

Mu Feng hesitated, "I can't say it either, or this is just a metaphor for the ancients, and it doesn't have any practical significance." ”

Chu Tianyi nodded, "I hope." ”

The paintings are so large that they almost cover the surrounding stone walls, and only one painting remains in the back. There are some signs of detachment in the painting, and everyone is shown on their knees, while the previous leader is standing on top of something he can't see, his arms outstretched, not knowing what he is doing.

The mural ended when he saw this, Chu Tianyi looked at it inexplicably, and there was a faint bad feeling in his heart. And Mu Feng next to him was also silent.

At this time, Xiao Meng and the bearded man standing in front of the stone statue asked, "Hey, what are you looking at?" What did you find? ”

Chu Tianyi pointed to the side, "There are some murals here, but I can't understand them, what about you?" What was found? ”

The bearded man pointed to the offering table under the stone statue and said, "There are some words on it, similar to the words on the tortoise shell before, we don't know them." ”

"Where?" Mu Feng immediately turned around when he heard this, and as he spoke, he walked quickly to the offering table.

Xiao Meng pointed to the side above and said, "That's it, you can translate it again." ”

Mu Feng lowered his head and gently blew the ash on it, then raised the flashlight to look at it carefully.

Chu Tianyi also walked over and found that there were indeed a few lines of words engraved on one side of the offering table, which were also hieroglyphics, although he didn't know it, but according to his previous discovery, he was sure that it was still a golden script.

Mu Feng pondered for a moment, and then said to the others: "This is a record of the situation of this mountain range at that time. Then he read softly: "In the great wilderness, the source of the river, the salty mountain, there is a place where the emperor tried the sword, and this is built in it." There is a gap in the earth that is three hundred miles long, and it is full of gods, such as the head of a mountain dragon, reborn from the fire, and it is inexhaustible. ”

Mu Feng finished reading, and the four people looked at each other. Chu Tianyi opened his mouth and said, "The gap mentioned above should be this canyon, right?" ”

"That's right," Mu Feng nodded, "It's very clear that it's written on it, this is built in it, which means that the Heavenly Temple we are in is in the crack, isn't it this canyon!" ”

"If," said the bearded man after a moment's hesitation, "if this record is true, then what does it mean that there is such a god as a mountain dragon's head?" ”

Mu Feng turned his head to look at the mural just now, "According to the literal interpretation, there should be something like a god at the end of the canyon, a divine beast as big as a mountain with a dragon head." ”

Several people showed expressions of disbelief, and Xiao Meng asked a little nervously, "Do you think there really will be such a thing?" ”

No one said anything about this question. No one would have believed such a thing before, but now everyone's worldview has been shaken a little.

After being silent for a while, Mu Feng suddenly spoke: "Actually, what I paid attention to is not this, have you found a problem, there is a big discrepancy between what is written above and the situation we have." ”

"In and out?" Mu Feng's words made several people puzzled.

Mu Feng pointed to the golden inscription on the offering table and said, "It is clearly written on this that the gap in the ground, that is, the length of this canyon, is three hundred miles. According to the pre-Qin measurement standard, the number of kilometers presented, almost one mile at that time was equivalent to 0.4 kilometers, so the whole canyon should be 120 kilometers, but according to authoritative scientific measurement data, the total length of the Jinjiang Grand Canyon is 70 kilometers, so the question is, where did the remaining 50 kilometers go? ”

"Brother Feng," as soon as Mu Feng finished speaking, Xiao Meng smiled, "Are you going to be too serious, didn't the ancients just say that, maybe it's an approximate number." ”

Mu Feng shook his head when he heard this, "That's not the case, if this is a situation recorded somewhere thousands of miles away, I wouldn't have thought about this at all." But what is written above is the area under our feet, which is the place where those ancestors lived, even if there was a deviation in the limited technology measurement back then, it would not be so much worse, the difference of 50 kilometers is equivalent to a difference of more than 100 miles, a total of 300 miles is more than 100 miles, and the people who measured it back then had to be cut in half. And generally speaking, the inscriptions in temples are generally more authoritative and reliable. ”

"Brother Feng, then you mean, our current people are wrong?" Xiao Meng thought about it for a while and came up with an answer.

Mu Feng couldn't help but smile, and the bearded man on the side scolded softly, "You kid shut up!" Speak with your brain! ”

Mu Feng waved his hand, "No, no, what Xiao Meng said makes sense, but I don't think it's that the current people are wrong, it's that we don't measure it all." ”

Chu Tianyi immediately understood what he meant, "Brother Feng, what do you mean is that the Jinjiang Grand Canyon is not the only one, and there are still some parts that have not been discovered?" ”

Mu Feng nodded, "I guess so." ”

Chu Tianyi felt that this matter was still too outrageous, "However, now that the technology is so developed, just take a casual aerial photo, and the whole picture of the entire canyon will not be clear, how can it be missed?" ”

"Maybe," Mu Feng smiled slyly at the three of them, "What about the fifty-kilometer canyon that isn't on the ground at all?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Tianyi had a feeling that his hairs stood on end, yes, why are those people on the mural large, but there is almost nothing found above the ground, it turns out that there is something else underground.

The bearded man nodded, and seemed to agree with Mu Feng's speculation, "Then if that's the case, where will this underground canyon be?" ”

"I don't know about this," Mu Feng stretched and coughed again, he picked up the kettle and took a few sips, wiping his mouth, "However, judging from our current situation, it should not be far from this underground canyon." With that, he walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out.

It was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. The sky is sunk, and the special geographical environment of the canyon makes the light here begin to dim early.

Mu Feng stood up straight and moved his waist and legs, "If you don't leave today, let's camp here." ”

"Here?" Xiao Meng was a little surprised, and he looked around. Chu Tianyi could understand his thoughts, surrounded by strange murals, and there was a strange stone statue in the middle, this so-called Heavenly Temple did give people an indescribable feeling, and they didn't know why they would have a feeling of being on their backs.

Mu Feng didn't seem to care at all, "What's wrong?" How good it is to camp here, the space is airtight, windproof and rainproof, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the view is wide, it is definitely a mansion in this place. After speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "And I'm not afraid of peeping." ”

Chu Tianyi was shocked when he heard this, he instantly thought of the black shadow with a huge head, and he really didn't know what it was.

It is indeed much more convenient to camp here than outside, and the bearded man raised two fires, one in the inner position and the other at the entrance of the cave, so as to prevent some poisonous insects and beasts from approaching.

After everyone shared some food, they each found a place to rest. Chu Tianyi sat near the entrance of the cave, and it was completely dark outside at this time.

I don't know why, but the moon feels extra big when you look at it from the canyon. And the color is different from what you usually see. This difference became more obvious as they went deeper into the canyon, the moon at this time showed a special color, if you had to use a word to describe it, Chu Tianyi thought for a while, and finally thought of a somewhat verbose word, which was a bright pale yellow, and the combination of yellow and white was extremely appropriate.

Since entering the mountain, whenever he calms down, Chu Tianyi will think of his father, where he is, what he has done here, and whether he has ever sat here looking at the sky like himself.

After thinking for a while, a sentence from his father to his grandfather suddenly appeared in his mind, "Wolong plays with pearls, and the ear and moon picture cave." ”

This sentence should have been a message sent by his grandfather shortly after his accident to report his safety. From the situation at the time, it is speculated that this sentence must be related to this canyon and the ancestors of that year, and twenty years ago, my father must have been here, although I don't know if he entered this heavenly temple, but he must have found some kind of clue. He followed the clues until the accident finally happened.
