Wang Xijia spent a week making waterproof cameras and cameras, and another two hours teaching Snake how to use them.

Ah Snake quickly took a photo of the underground ancient city and sent it over, and immediately stopped Wang Xika.

The ancient city looks quite large, and most of the buildings are modeled after the ancient Greek Parthenon. The columns are also mostly ancient Greek columns, either Doric, Ionic or Corinthian columns.

In the city, you can see houses, restaurants, schools, hostels...... Anyone who sees these pictures will not suspect that these buildings come from a great civilization.

Of course, the most striking thing is that in the middle of the city, there is a pyramid. This pyramid is different from the pyramid style of Egypt, but it bears some resemblance to the Mayan pyramids in South America. The base of the pyramid is square, with steps leading to the top of the golden tower. At the highest point is a beacon-like building.

Wang Xika had heard many legends about the pyramids, and he knew that the Egyptian pyramids were actually tombs, and the Mayan pyramids were used for sacrifices. What exactly is this underwater pyramid for? Judging by the fact that the city eventually sank to the bottom of the sea, it is clear that the sacrifice did not work.

"Have you ever been inside this pyramid?" asked Wang Xijia.

"I've been in, what's wrong?" said Snake

"What's inside the pyramid?" asked Wang Xika.

"There's fish, shells, and a bit of seaweed and stuff. Snake said.

Yes, how many years has this ancient city been soaked in water, and what else can there be besides fish, shrimp and shells?

"Can you take me down to have a look?" Wang Xika couldn't hold back his curiosity. It's always fun to look at photos, and you have to see them with your own eyes.

"I'm afraid you can't go down, don't you have that suit of clothes that can only go down 1,200 meters at most? This ancient city is 1,000 meters under the sea, and it is the deepest home for our cheeks. Snake replied.

The depth of 1,000 meters is indeed beyond the limits of human diving. Wang Xijia had no choice but to ask Ah Snake to use the camera to take as many pictures of the ancient city as possible.

The best building Wang Xika had ever seen in this era was Dracula's Castle, but the architecture of this ancient city looked even more elaborate than Dracula's Castle, almost reaching the level of those buildings that Wang Xika had built at the mouth of the river. But Wang Xika traveled from 2060 A.D., could it be that prehistoric humans really had a superb civilization, only to become extinct later?

How did this civilization become extinct? The Great Flood apparently could not wash an entire continent into the sea. And in the case of an earthquake, it is impossible not to destroy the house, and a single piece of land earthquake will be carried to the bottom of the water. Could it be that the foundation of the entire continent suddenly sinks? But this kind of thing has never happened in Wang Xijia's experience.

"Snake, can you film every room and every road in the whole city in the form of a documentary? Especially to see if there are any places in the city that have stone tablets and other things engraved with words, and if so, take pictures of them. Wang Xijia is eager to understand the city, but at present, it seems that the only way to understand is to shoot through a snake. After all, with Wang Xijia's current technical level, he can't dive to such a deep place. It would be nice if you could shoot something like text.

"Damn, boss, do you know how big this Haicheng is? If nothing else, there are tens of thousands of houses. If I were to shoot every house, I would have nothing else to do in my life. I still have to go to work, and I have to deliver milk to Boss Du," Snake complained.

Wang Xijia thought about it, everyone has their own things to do, and they can't let their curiosity affect other people's lives too much. Then he said: "That's it, just shoot it when you're fine, anyway, don't rush, shoot slowly." Just take pictures of the largest temples and pyramids. ”

Snake said, "Well, I'll do my best, you can have a few more cameras, and I'll let the brothers shoot when they're fine." You're going to have to treat us to dinner when you're done!"

Inviting guests to dinner is naturally a piece of cake for Wang Xika, and he said casually: "Okay, whatever you want to eat is wrapped in me!"

Wang Xijia suddenly thought of one more thing: "Do you cheeks have your own language and writing?"

"Yes, but you don't understand. Snake said.

"It doesn't matter if I don't understand, can you understand it, can you recognize the words of your clan?" asked Wang Xijia.

There are many races in the world that have their own languages, but no written language. Writing is very important, and the history of a civilization can be recorded through writing.

As long as there is text, even if you can't read it, you can ask someone to translate it. For example, the text of the blood clan can be translated by Nikolai. If the snake could read, he would be able to translate the language of their people.

"I don't know much about how to read, but I know that there are old people in my clan who know me. Do you want to learn?" asked Snake.

"Yes. Wang Xika said.

"I'll try, the old men of our clan don't speak your words, and they're old, so they don't usually come ashore. If you want to see them come back, I'll arrange a time, and you're still wearing the weird clothes you wore last time, and we'll see you underwater. Snake said.

"Okay, I'll see you then. Wang Xijia had a vague hunch that he could solve some riddles about the world.

......

Wang Xijia provided more than 30 waterproof cameras and cameras for the Gills tribe to photograph the underground city. At this time, Wang Xijia thought that it would be nice to have a smartphone, and one mobile phone could shoot everything. It's a pity that I can't figure it out myself.

Snake called more than 20 cheek brothers to shoot underwater, and all the film was filmed, making a total of more than 3,000 hours of film.

There are a few rolls of films that also photograph the figure of the sea man from afar: sure enough, as A Snake said, the upper body is a human, and the lower body is a fish. It's just that he didn't get a straight face, and the sea man flashed in the film like a torpedo in the water.

Wang Xijia put aside the matter of Hairen first, because there are things in the film that he is more interested in: words and pictures.

Sure enough, there were a few stone tablets in the water city with words on them, and the words looked like large and small circles and wavy lines.

The writing on the shore is either written from top to bottom, left to right, or right to left. But the words on this stele are written in a circle from the center of the circle outward, and each paragraph is a circle, and the large circle is covered with a small circle, which looks like there is a symmetrical beauty.

"Can you read these words?" Wang Xika asked Snake.

"I can probably understand it. This text records the temperature of the sea, the direction of the current, and so on, which is similar to the writing of our people. Tomorrow when you go to see Gelahad you can ask him, Gelahad is the oldest man in our race. ”

As for the pictures, Wang Xika can understand, mainly painting animals, there are monkeys, fish, and dinosaurs and other beasts. At the end of the photo, I drew something like a spaceship, presumably talking about aliens. Wang Xijia has also seen this spaceship-like device on Mayan murals.

Wang Xika put the video and photos at his home in Shanghekou for safekeeping, and brought an extra photo with text written on it to show Gelahard. Then put on your wetsuit and follow Snake to meet Gelahad.

Still the same as last time, the two cheeks helped Wang Xika slowly dive to a hundred meters, and then slowly swam into the cave. Sure enough, there was already an old cheek sitting inside, which should be the Gelahad in Ah She's mouth.

This Gelahad looked like he hadn't exercised for a long time, his skin was pale, his limbs were thin, and his belly was large. There was some green moss floating on his shoulders, and his eyes were swollen and gray, and he looked like he had cataracts.

"Hello, old sir. Wang Xijia greeted Gelahard.

"Tons of tons tons tons of ......" Geralhad opened his mouth to say something, it was a voice that Wang Xijia had never heard before, it sounded a bit like the sound of people drinking water, and a bit like the sound of waves hitting the eardrums.

"The old man said hello, your clothes are interesting. Snake translated.

"Can you read the text on this?" Wang Xika handed the photo with the ancient city written on it to Gerahad.

Gelahad took the photo, looked at it and looked at it, put it on his eyes again, and didn't move or say a word for a long time. Wang Xijia wondered if the old cheek man had presbyopia or cataracts - he would have known to bring a magnifying glass.

"Goo dong goo ...... " the old man's mouth was like water

Gelahad said the words were too small to read. Snake said.

"Oh, isn't that just a trip for nothing?" Wang Xijia thought to himself that this time he would talk to the old man casually first, and then talk about it next time he came out with a magnifying glass. I was about to go up with something casually, only to hear what Ah Snake said to the old man in that water-like language.

The old man pondered for a long time, and then there was another grunt.

"I told Gelahad that it was the text of the Watercity Stone. The old man said that he knew what was written on the stone tablet of Shuicheng and could tell you. Snake said.

"Ah, old man, please. Wang Xika said.

So Gelahad and Snake you and I talked one by one.

After a long time, Ah Snake said, "This is the legend of our clan, like a song, I have to sing it to you." ”

A snake sings a national epic: There is an egg in the black air,

There are two monkeys in the egg.

The egg broke, and two monkeys jumped out.

A monkey on the shore,

A monkey in the water.

One day the monkey on the shore fell into the water,

One day a monkey in the water came ashore.

The monkeys on the shore dwelt in the water,

The monkeys in the water lived on the shore.

......

In short, it tells the story of the monkey and the egg. The level of Ah Snake's singing was average, and Wang Xika listened to it so well that he had to interrupt Ah Snake: "In addition to eggs and monkeys, what else does the stone tablet say?"

Snake communicated with Gelahad again, and then said, "Gelahad said that we are all from the same egg, the sea people, the cheek people, and the people on the shore, we are all monkeys in the egg. Sometimes the monkeys from the shore will come to the water, and the monkeys from the water will come to the shore......

Wang Xijia saw that the old man said a few words and looked like he was about to fall asleep, so he said, "Okay, Ah Snake, I know, you can help the old man go back to rest." ”
