Volume 3: Miao Jiang Gu Realm Chapter 67: The Lost Civilization - Qianyi and Miao Kingdom (6)

Professor Tong is old! But the enthusiasm in archaeology, just like a guy meeting a little girl, always has a heart that never obeys old age, insisting on going into battle in person, not to mention Professor Ouyang, he has always been very confident in his physical quality, and never concedes defeat in front of young people, just like the first time I saw him at that time, a proud rooster.

In order to be on the safe side, we first used the climbing crossbow to tie the climbing rope to a high place, and then I climbed along the climbing rope to a high place, when the ghost did not join us, our climbing rope was tied in a knot, which was convenient for climbing, but then it was not convenient to slide, but since the ghost joined us, it began to train us to climb with the rope wrapped around our feet, so that whether it was up or down, it did not matter.

Once I got to the top, I started to make safety points, and it wasn't easy to make safety points for climbing ropes on the cliffs, so the fat man and the ghost came up to help me.

The fat man muttered while putting on the silk buckle: "This archaeology is really troublesome!" It's not like we used to do it, three times five divided by two, wait a minute, the professor will also use a small brush to brush the pictographs and corpses carved on the wall little by little, I don't know when I want to get it? ”

"After all, this is research, inevitably! And I think it's good that we can learn more from our professors, instead of guessing everything like we used to! The ghost said and looked at me, "What do you say?" Captain Wu. ”

I didn't have a hurry to answer, the fat man rushed ahead, although his expression was blocked by a gas mask, but his tone was full of surprise, "Hey! I said Lao Wang! Listen to you, do you want to join the archaeological team? I'm good to say! I'm just helping Ngawang find Nuwa Stone, and after that, I'm going back to Lijiang to run our "Tip of the Tongue Restaurant" well, but I won't be idle anymore, and I'll have adventures with you again! ”

The ghost said, "Didn't we all say it! We're going to join the "Captain of the Underworld", aren't we! ”

"Captain Stygian isn't an archaeological team either!" The fat man said as if he thought of something again, and immediately added, "Say it again!" I used to always say that I was the captain of the Underworld, and that was mainly to support my face, and we were not engaged in tomb robbing, but we always did similar things, and we had to be famous, otherwise it would be bad to be misunderstood, so I always said that I was a descendant of the captain of the Underworld. ”

The fat man turned his head to me after speaking, although he didn't speak, but I knew that he was waiting for me to make a statement, but I only wanted to find Yanyu and understand her past, and I didn't think about inheriting my father's mantle, so I ignored him, and just pretended to be serious about work.

But one thing is not denied that there is no place for the Captain of the Underworld in this society now, it can be said that after the fall of the imperial system, the special organization that only existed in the special needs of the Captain of the Underworld has also collapsed, and the only way to continue it is to be tied to the archaeological industry.

After doing a good job of protecting the point, we each played a few climbing ropes, and threw the climbing ropes to the people under the cave wall one by one, if we follow the usual steps of archaeology, we will set up scaffolding at this moment, which is more convenient for us to study the shocking, mysterious and strange unknown civilization on the cave wall inch by inch.

But at the moment, first, we don't have enough time, although this archaeological operation was initiated by Professor Ouyang, but the local troops were invited to provide protection, in many ways it is still necessary to be led by the army, after all, the army is here to protect the safety of the archaeological team, although this time we are a special case, but the time of the total trip is still controlled by the army!

Second, the terrain here is really not suitable for scaffolding, so it is better to waste time on scaffolding, and it is better to study this little-known, even unsolved mystery, mysterious civilization.

Although this archaeological operation was initiated by Professor Ouyang, the backbone is Professor Tong! After all, he is the authority in this area of research, and with the assistance of Xiao Kai and the staff of Professor Ouyang, they first started their research from the bottom of the cave.

The bottom of the cave is exactly the same as what I hallucinated, all densely packed with pictographs, which makes me a little creepy, so fitting, I can't believe it myself, if it is explained by pure coincidence, it makes me wonder once again if I really have some kind of connection with the ancient demon man? Did he come here before? What is the purpose? Will there be some connection with Yanyu and Nuwa Stone? All these strange mysteries may only be revealed on my way to find the Nuwa Stone.

Pictograms on the walls of caves

The characters have been mottled and stale, after the vicissitudes of life, ancient for thousands of years, some fonts have been decayed and degraded, only the confused brushstrokes can be seen, and covered with moss-like plants, under the blue light, it looks mysterious and strange and vicissitudes.

Xiao Kai and his four back pockets, under the guidance of Professor Ouyang and Professor Tong, began to put on gloves and use brushes to clean up the covering little by little.

I, the fat man, the ghost and the fourth master were also embarrassed to watch, and they all started to help clean up, and as time went by, and the progress of our work, some of the civilizations hidden in the years have been cleaned up.

Although only a small part of the strange characters have been cleaned up, it is enough to shock everyone present, these vivid and mysterious ancient characters are something we have never seen before.

They are neither like the Miao script we have seen before, nor like the ordinary hieroglyphs, and it is not surprising to say that we laymen have never seen them, but the two old professors who have been engaged in archaeology for half their lives around us are also amazed, and they can't say why.

"Old bronze! I've never seen these texts before, do you think you have any high opinions as a professional researcher of ethnic minorities? Professor Ouyang looked at the wall text and shook his head slightly.

Professor Tong didn't speak for a while, but after observing carefully for a while, he said in a tone of not very sure, "I'm not sure either!" This kind of text seems to be ...... Wait a minute......! "At this point, suddenly! As if thinking of some crucial information, he immediately rummaged through his treasure trove of documents from his back pocket, and finally picked up an old book, turned a page in the book, and said excitedly, "Look, this is the kind of writing. ”

Everyone was like the small people of the well city watching the excitement, and they couldn't wait to surround it, only to see that the page of the book was patched together with a piece of old paper, and the paper was densely packed, and some strange fonts that had been blurred were recorded like ghost drawings, but it could be seen that they looked the same as these ancient characters on the wall.

"Everyone! As I said earlier. Professor Tong's voice was obviously excited, "As I said earlier, this place is some kind of sacrificial site during the predecessor of Gu Yelang, you don't know, there was a name when Gu Yelang's predecessor was a small country of city-state slavery, called Qianyi Miao Kingdom.

It is said that at that time, the Xijiang area was in the pre-summer period, the ancient Yi and Gu Miao alliances only existed for less than two hundred years before they collapsed, when they were in their heyday, in order to more effectively worship the gods, specially created a mysterious text, that is, the mysterious text we see now. ”

"Thirty years ago, when I was archaeological in Nanjing, I found the ancient tomb of Xiuren, the king of Jian'an. At this point, he turned his head to the fourth master.

Fortunately, the fourth master is wearing a gas mask at this moment, otherwise I don't know how embarrassing his face will be.

Professor Tong continued, "Xiuren, the king of Jian'an, was the former deposed emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Zifa, and Qiu Zhonglang was the general, and in his ancient tomb I found a dilapidated human skin heavenly book, which is this one. As he spoke, he pointed to the piece of paper that I thought was plain paper.

"The text recorded above, after years of research, I think that it is not so much a text as a kind of rune, a kind of rune used in the sacrifice of Qianyi Miao, this kind of sacrifice is what I said earlier "Hundred Eyes Burial Cave".

Usually this ritual technique is to carve this strange rune into the bottom of the cave wall they specially selected, and then make an eye hole on top of the rune, and the eye cave is buried with slaves, and the top of the cave should be inlaid with the reign of the time! However, these are all inferred by my subjective conjectures and subjective conjectures that I have collected from some fragmented and scarce sources over the years. Therefore, it still needs to be objectively verified, but it is considerable that now these runes from the bottom have shown that my research results are a small part right! Walk! Let's go up and have a look! ”

Professor Tong said that, and struggled to climb up, not at all like the usual old hands and feet, but more like a guy who grabbed flower balls.

A group of people followed closely and came to the middle of the cave, sure enough, it was dense, endless corpses buried in the cave, I was frightened, not frightened by these corpses, but once again coincided with my illusion, so that I couldn't tell whether the previous experience belonged to the illusion, or this time it belonged to the illusion? I couldn't help but touch my head with one free hand,

OK! Gas masks are there, then! I don't think it's a fantasy this time!?

The face of the corpse is also sealed with the skin of some kind of animal, and the outer layer of the skin is also branded like "Shen Teng".

Seeing this, Professor Ouyang said excitedly, "Brother Wu! Take a look! Isn't this totem exactly the kind of immortal teng we see in the Dachang Fan Barbarian Void Tomb? Including his bronze seven-star hanging coffin, you can also find the shadow of this hundred-eyed burial cavern. ”

Professor Ouyang had previously talked to Professor Tong about our experience in Dachang, which is why they had this archaeological operation, they originally wanted to find out whether the Cubans were really related to the ancient seedlings, but by mistake, they accidentally found another archaeological study of Professor Tong.

When Professor Tong heard that Fan Manqi's bronze seven-star hanging coffin was imitating the Hundred-Eyed Burial Cave, he was quite excited and asked, "Ouyang is crazy!" What did you say? Did Fan Manchi's burial method really imitate here?

No! No! You see, I'm a little incoherent with excitement! This is not a burial method! And the witchcraft sacrifice that wants to bring the dead back to life! ”

Professor Ouyang replied, "You old bronze! I can't lie to you! Brother Wu and they were also present at that time! And I'm telling you, maybe you've been right about what you've been researching for years! Maybe this top may really be the coffin of the ruler at that time, and the structural layout we saw in the seven-star bronze hanging coffin of Fan Manqi at that time is similar to the one you guessed in the Hundred Eyes Burial Cave, and there is indeed a main coffin on the top! ”

"Hey! Professor! You're not seeking truth from facts! The fat man interjected at this time, "There is indeed a main coffin on the top, yes, but there is a big trap inside!" Did you forget? ”

"None of that matters! Let's just verify the authenticity first! I won't open the coffin! If conditions do not allow, archaeology will not open the coffin, because we are not only researching, but also protecting cultural relics. ”

That's it! Professor Tong said that he had to go up and find out what was going on, so we went up again, and the range here has left the range that the blue light insect can reach, and in the same way, the psychedelic ability of the blue light insect should not affect this area, and everyone took off their gas masks one after another! Changed to a tactical helmet with spotlights.

As soon as I left the corpse cave, I saw a row of strange rune-form fonts on the top, and the ghost rune text on this wall was very strange, it existed in a separate row! It's not like the words under the cave, it's densely packed together.

Moreover, under the spotlight of the helmet, it is obvious that the engraving of this single row of hieroglyphs is still very new, and it does not look like it is old, but it looks like it was carved not long ago.

Who could have carved it? Why engrave such a little-known, or even unsolved mystery, text? What do you mean?

The fat man said, "Professor Kiri! Didn't you say that this kind of writing has not yet been discovered by the authorities, and is still only the object of your research? So how can this be explained? It doesn't look like it's an imitation of the following, it should just use the same font to express some important information, hey! Could it be that you carved it? ”

The joke behind the fat man was really not at the right time, and Professor Tong's face changed obviously, "What are you talking about!" Can you make this kind of joke casually? It's also my first time here. ”

"Old bronze! What does this mean? Professor Ouyang asked

Professor Tong said, "I haven't studied much of this rune form of writing, I can only roughly understand the basic meaning, you look at these two words......" Professor Tong pointed to two of the words, and continued, "These two words should be the meaning of "there are ghosts", and these words express a certain group organization, and the general meaning should be close to the meaning of "archaeological team"! Then he pointed to the first two words and said, "These two words have a broader meaning, which can express the meaning of "caution", "attention", "beware" and other types of reminders. ”

There are a total of eleven fonts, but Professor Tong only explained the first two, and the middle five words, which mean "careful, ghost, archaeological team." ”

"Beware of ghosts, archaeological team!" The fat man screamed, "Oops! Someone reminded us that there were ghosts here, how did he know that we must be from the archaeological team? ”

Professor Tong immediately corrected: "No! In the wrong order! Yes, be careful! There are ghosts in the archaeological team! ”
