Chapter 36: Language in the Dark

As Liu Dongxi's words fell, the torch that had been breathing for a long time was extinguished, and everything around him fell into darkness again.

When we walk on a path with only one end, no matter how hesitating, doubting, and entangled we are at the beginning, but we will eventually get that spiritual peace. But when there is a choice on this path, we are constantly caught up in all kinds of negative emotions, forks in the road appear, the end is unknown, and we are lost.

I didn't rush to turn on the flashlight on the police pass, but asked Liu Dongxi: "Which way to go?" ”

There was only silence in front, and when I thought he was no longer there, Liu Dongxi spoke: "Brother An, do you think it's better for us to go over there?" ”

I turned on the flashlight, shook Liu Shi's face first, and said, "No way, look for clues!" ”

Liu stuff wrapped a torch again, and the two of them looked carefully at the entrance of the cave, the two holes were almost the same, the only difference was that one hole was in front of us, and the other was almost missed by us.

I said to Liu Dongxi: "Let's go this way, we all walked to the door, there is fate!" ”

Liu Shixi didn't speak, and the leader walked in.

The path was narrower than the previous one, and the light from the torches could reach the rock walls on both sides, and after a short walk, the path began to slope upwards, and when I saw the door, I might have really been blinded this time, and I couldn't help but speed up my pace.

At this time, there were some artificial traces on the rock walls on both sides, and there were some strange symbols in some places, I leaned over and looked at it carefully, but I couldn't see what it was at all, so I asked Liu to come and see. Liu Dongxi leaned on his stomach and looked at it for a long time and shook his head and said that he didn't understand it either, some places were like symbols used in the diagram, and some were like runes, which he couldn't understand at all.

I knew what the runes meant, but I didn't know what he was talking about, so I asked him. Liu Dongxi said: "The so-called graphic language is the symbol that occasionally appears sporadically on the bronze, and the oracle bone inscription at one time seems simple but is actually difficult to decipher. ”

I'm intrigued by these things, and the fact that the text here is a big deal for us, maybe it contains an export message.

I asked, "Can you understand what these things say?" ”

Liu Dongxi said: "No, our ancestors' set of things is not trivial, they all say that the Chinese language has a broad spirit, in fact, there are more meanings in the ancient text, and when it comes to the oracle bone inscription, it is simply a word is a sentence, or even an event." ”

"Isn't there a lot of translation of oracle bones?" I remember seeing a paleographer in a bookstore before.

Liu Shixin became excited at this time, and his eyebrows almost flew into the darkness outside the firelight: "Where is this?" It's just far-fetched. Brother An, you know the radical, right? ”

I nodded, and Liu Dongxi continued: "Brother An, you are in prison, let's take such an example, the word 'prison' in prison, you see that the meaning is rich, look at this glyph, two dogs are sandwiched by a word." Only people can speak, so this word is a person, and the two dogs caught him, and the person was put in prison. That's not enough, why don't you use words? Because in ancient times, the word 'prison' also had the meaning of a lawsuit, do you see that there is a talking person in the middle of two rows of lackeys, and it looks like a trial case? There's a lot more to it than that, so I won't talk about it--"

At this point, I heard that something was wrong, and interrupted him: "Liu thing, you are a lackey!" ”

Liu Dongxi also felt that something was wrong and hurriedly apologized. I ignored it and asked him, "So you don't understand what that means?" ”

Liu Dongxi said: "I don't understand, the meaning of the base text in the ancient text is extremely rich, and it is absolutely impossible to decipher it when pinched into a word, and I can only see some elements of these things, and I can't be sure what they mean." ”

I thought about it, and it was better than not knowing how to catch a blind man, so I asked him to tell me what he had seen.

Liu Shixi looked at it carefully for a while and said: "In my opinion, first of all, these things are carved out when there is enough time, then it will not be a mark, because there is no need to write so many marks, and it doesn't have to be so complicated." So these things are either divination notes or messages. ”

I never thought that Liu Dongfu would be able to analyze things in such an orderly manner, and I was suddenly a little impressed, and I didn't say anything and waited for him to continue.

"There are some basic texts in this that I can understand, as for the runes, there are many genres, and most of them are forged by later generations, and I have never had the opportunity to learn them. I'll just pick up what I can understand and talk about it. Liu Dongxi paused for a moment, and then said: "There are people here, and they have appeared many times. ”

I nodded, and I could see that there were human figures in many of the words.

"There are many sayings about the human form as the base text, it is not that there is a human form is a personal character, it represents the posture of the person, men and women, the part of the human body, and even the status and status, birth, old age, sickness and death, including how to die. In my opinion, there should be an upper and lower class of people here, some people are very fast, some people are weird-looking, and some people can ride the clouds. ”

I couldn't imagine that there could be so much attention to such a simple symbol, and I was anxious to know the rest, so I urged: "What else?" ”

Liu Dongxi looked at me with a strange expression and continued, "There are a few other symbols in here that I roughly know what they mean," he pointed to a few big-headed symbols, "Most of these were later translated as emperors, but I think they should be gods or totems." Liu Dongxi suddenly stopped when he said this, looking thoughtful.

"Anything else?" I saw that he suddenly stopped talking and hurriedly asked him?

Liu Dongxi said: "I can't see anything else, I guess it means that one tribe is enslaved by another tribe, and they are engaged in some activities here, but I don't know what they are doing." ”

I was a little discouraged when I heard him say this, and he continued: "But to be able to calmly leave so many words here shows that there is no danger in this place, let's go around and try, it is best to get out, and if you can't get out, you can't die, come back and try that road again!" ”

Liu Dongxi's statement is very far-fetched, no matter what that group of supernatural people are doing here, it doesn't mean that this place is safe, I don't know what he found in this and is in a hurry to go over, but if he doesn't say so, we have to continue to move forward, we have already made a choice, and it is absolutely impossible to give up hastily because of something.

As far as I was concerned, nothing could stop me from coming home, and I clenched my lightsaber in my hand and led the way, the torches squeezing through the darkness in front of me, leaving an afterglow behind me.
