Chapter 11: Weird
In the huge palace, the atmosphere is solemn.
The various beast statues on the stone wall roared and roared, looking solemn and mysterious. In front of the altar, rows of fierce beast heads glared at the front with hideous eyes, as if they were crying silently in blood.
On the stone wall, a majestic momentum swam around.
"What happened?" After a while, Lin Hao came back to his senses, looking at the stone statue with a frightened face, and his back was drenched in cold sweat.
Turning his head, Lin Hao was shocked to realize that the old man was staring at him with a smile. The girl held her chin, a sweet smile hung on the corner of her mouth, and looked left and right with curiosity.
"That stone statue is weird!" Lin Hao frowned, and when he looked at the stone statue again, there was no longer the abnormal appearance just now, and the heads of various fierce beasts were placed in front of the statue, "It seems that this is usually a place of sacrifice......"
"Hopefully what you bring will come in handy!" Lin Hao untied the white cloth bag behind him, turned around and handed it to the girl, and motioned for her to open it.
The old man bowed slightly.
The girl opened the bag and saw that the white flowers were dazzling.
Grabbing a fine grain of salt with her hand, her face was full of surprise and excitement, and she shouted at the old man's grunting excitement.
The old man's eyes were also full of excitement, and he dipped his hand in a little delicate white salt, licked his tongue lightly, and the expression on his face became surprised!
The two immediately kowtowed to the stone statue again and again, and their mouths were chattering excitedly.
"What the hell!" Lin Hao was dumbfounded, "Even if white and delicate salt is rare, don't be so exaggerated in your reaction!" Could it be that the world's productive forces are very backward? ”
The old man's face was extremely excited, he carefully put away the salt, and looked at Lin Hao's expression more and more kindly, as if with a smile of approval.
The girl blushed, obviously delighted.
The old man thought for a while, took out the animal skin from his arms and handed it to Lin Hao, motioning for him to open it.
"This ...... This is ......" Lin Hao's face was full of doubts, and when he opened the animal skin, he saw that it was crawling with dense black lines, writhing back and forth like tadpoles, indescribably weird, and there was an indescribable charm.
The old man stared at Lin Hao from the side, carefully observing the expression on his face, and touched his beard with satisfaction for a while.
The tadpole-like lines twisted and swirled, slowly turning into a cloud of black lines in the eyes...... Lin Hao was shocked, as if he saw the mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the stars, the birds and beasts, and all the creatures in the world......
The girl came to Lin Hao, who was in a daze, Gu Pan Shengbo's eyes were full of curiosity, and her tender white hand dangled in front of his eyes.
"Ahh Lin Hao suddenly exclaimed, looking at the little brain melon close at hand, he was stunned, and his heart trembled, "Niang Xipi, I seem to have fallen into a hallucination just now!" ”
The two looked at each other, the tip of their noses almost touching the tip of their noses.
The old man coughed awkwardly beside him, and his crutches tapped on the ground.
Lin Hao slowly came back to his senses, but the roots of the girl's ears became more and more red, and she retracted with a "bang", hiding behind the old man like a frightened rabbit.
"This ...... This seems to be an otherworldly text! He held the animal skin blankly, and the tip of his nose smelled the faint fragrance of the girl's body, full of absent-mindedness, "This line seems to have a strange power, hateful!" What the hell is going on? ”
The old man touched his white beard with a smile, pulled the girl to Lin Hao, picked up the animal skin and said a few words to the girl.
The girl looked up at Lin Hao and nodded shyly.
Lin Hao's face was blank, "What do you mean?" ”
The old man waved his hand, holding the animal skin and muttering to Lin Hao for a while, the two compared for a long time, he finally understood what the other party meant, and his heart was suddenly pleasantly surprised, "Let the girl teach me the otherworldly script?" What do you want! ”
The old man waved his hand, and with a sigh of his mouth, he gave a few words to the guards at the gate of the hall.
The girl grinned, pulled Lin Hao, who was dazed, and rushed out of the palace, all the way through the martial arts training ground.
Men and women dressed in wild clothes along the way laughed and pointed at Lin Hao for a while.
Beneath your feet are uneven rocks, some of which have been manicured.
"Hey, there's a grotto here! Take me to where she lives? Lin Hao was pulled left and right by the girl, and after a while, the two walked to the edge of a cave.
Numerous caves have been carved out of the stone wall to inhabit them, and men, women, and children have come and gone.
Lin Hao found that in addition to the large palace buildings in the center of the huge cave, there were many houses made of stone or wood, but more people lived in the caves carved out of the cave walls.
Walking slowly all the way, the two walked into a grotto in the middle.
Lin Hao looked around and found that the walls were very rough, and the grotto had only one main entrance, with an area of about one hundred square meters, and some tables and stools made of stone in the corners.
"Zako!" The girl pressed Lin Hao on the stool, picked up the animal skin, pointed to a symbol on it, and motioned for him to open his mouth.
"Teach me to read?" Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, and found that there were a lot of animal skins on the stone table with words written, and immediately followed the girl's mouth shape that opened and closed, "Three moments!" ”
The girl shook her head and said aloud again, "Sako! ”
The grotto was very empty, and Lin Hao babbled for a while, and the two repeated the teaching many times.
"Zako!" This time Lin Hao finally found the right sound, there was no way, the pronunciation of the otherworldly language was too strange, and his efforts to pout were still a little out of tune.
The girl nodded with a smile and pointed to the next symbol, "Road enough!" ”
Lin Hao tried to curl his tongue, his mind trying desperately to remember the strange and distorted text, "Luke! ”
The girl corrected, "Enough way!" ”
"Enough way!"
Then the girl pointed to the tables and stools around her, pointed to her clothes, eyes, nose, etc., and taught Lin Hao word by word.
Later, he learned the meaning of these two words: "kun" and "yu".
Although the progress of teaching is very slow, Lin Hao also struggles to learn. But one is willing to teach, the other is serious about learning, and the two are happy to do it.
A rattling sound echoed in the grotto for a long time.
Time flies, and a few hours have passed in the blink of an eye.
When he felt that the time was about the same, Lin Hao gestured, "I want to go home, and I'll come back tomorrow......"
The old man thought about it for a moment and asked the girl to send him back the same way.
"What a headache! It took me a few hours to learn seven or eight words, and it seems that I need to bring some modern technology with me when I go back......"
Lin Hao sighed, climbed to the hidden place of a hundred-zhang giant tree not far from the top of the mountain, and his mind moved, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
In the empty low-rent house, the ground is dappled with sunlight, and the flower cats on the sofa are curled up and dozing.
With a "boom", a figure suddenly appeared.
Lin Hao looked around carefully, and it was quiet in the low-rent house.
"Meow~" The fat flower cat fart ran over and rubbed him affectionately.
"No problem...... Lin Hao glanced at the meter reader, and then ran to carefully observe the traces on the windows, security doors, and floors, "There are no traces of outsiders opening the windows, the hair on the security doors has not fallen off, and there are no extra footprints on the floor...... Very good! ”
Lin Hao looked around in the low-rent house, and the fat cat next to him stretched his waist, jumped onto the sofa with a "poof", and tilted his head cutely.
