Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ancient Characters (II)

An Shilan nodded, her eyes fixed on the stone pillar, and she read it softly in her mouth.
"We escaped the pursuit of the thing for a while, but it had only been around for a short time before we hit a new bottleneck...... Although the environment here is suitable for us to live, it is not only 'us' here. They were very reluctant to come to us, and although we tried to negotiate with them, the results were not ideal. ā
After hearing this paragraph, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
The style of this narrative ...... Why does it sound like a diary?
While there she was there, she continued: "Just when we thought war was inevitable...... The fire we brought with us played a vital role. ā
An Shilan paused obviously, as if thinking about the "smoke of the heart" in it, and then continued to translate thoughtfully.
"They love fire, and we don't know why, but it's definitely a relief for both of us; We have just experienced the Great War, and now the main work is to rebuild, and there is no extra energy to fight them. ā
Speaking of this, An Shilan paused for a long time, and could see her eyes scanning around the stone pillar, as if looking for something, and finally froze in a remote corner, and continued.
"We have lived together peacefully for hundreds of years, and a lot has happened during this time, and it is difficult to describe them, in short, although we give them some smoke every once in a while, but at the same time we get some benefits from them...... Benefits beyond imagination! ā
"Just when we thought that this peaceful coexistence relationship would last for a long time...... But on that day, things changed drastically......"
"It's the fire that changes everything......"
The words stopped abruptly, and this feeling of stopping in the middle of speaking made the curiosity of everyone whose curiosity was aroused by this story itch, and they couldn't help but look at An Shilan in doubt, An Shilan just shook her head lightly and said apologetically: "Teachers, I have translated everything I can understand, and the sentence just now is the last." ā
Patanri blinked, and said with a blank face: "Why do I feel that this story is not finished?" ā
Qi Qi nodded and echoed: "There is indeed a feeling that I am still unfinished, and the real point should be the following, but the story stops here...... I don't know if the ancestors did it on purpose. ā
"I think it's important to think about what this diary-like story is telling...... Or what does it imply to us, and what does it have to do with this ancient ruin? "It's still Ji Feiya who is more reliable, and she pointed out the most critical issue for everyone at the moment.
They didn't come here with the mentality of treasure hunting and fun, but hid in and ran for their lives, and it was of course a good thing to be able to get a few precious ancient relics during this period, but it was not a big deal not to get them.
Solingya thought for a while, then pointed to the other stone pillars and asked An Shilan, "An Shilan, can you understand what is written on the other stone pillars?" ā
"I'll see."
An Shilan nodded, and after looking at all the stone pillars around the hall, she shook her head in the expectant eyes of everyone, and said reproachfully: "Most of these stone pillars have the same content, I can only see a slight difference in the usage of some compound sentences, but the student's ability is limited, and he can't translate the meaning." ā
"You've done a great job." Solenia comforted, and then fell into deep thought.
"By the way, teachers, do you know what the Heart Fire is?" Ki Scarlet asked at this time.
She vaguely felt that this thing seemed to be a key point in this story, but she asked herself that she had studied the knowledge of various treasures and bizarre scenes about the existence of Ming Chaoxing in the Martial Arts Academy, but this "smoke heart" ...... But this is the first time I've heard of it.
The special teachers glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said, "No, we haven't heard of it either, we left a lot of information behind when we moved to the Floating Continent, maybe this Smoke Heart Fire is one of them......
Batanli used his brain, crooked his little brain and guessed: "Since it is called smoke heart fire, will it be a kind of fire?" A fire that burns people's hearts as soon as they touch it? ā
"How could there be such an outrageous fire." Ji Feiya complained with tears and laughter, although she also felt a little strange, but at this time, the lack of information could only be held in her heart.
The information on the stone pillar is obviously completely unrelated to the ancient relics, and there may really be some useful information, but An Shilan, who understands ancient characters in the field, has limited ability, so without any useful information, this matter can only be resolved.
Batanli glanced at An Shilan, who was writing something quickly on the bound watch, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ā
"Write them all down."
An Shilan stared intently at the words on the stone pillar, and replied: "When I go back, I want to find the information by myself, and then try my best to interpret the information that I still can't understand, and it will definitely help my mastery of ancient characters and the affairs of the ancients." ā
"Oh." Batanli nodded as if she didn't understand, she had always had a headache with the knowledge in these books, so after asking casually, she followed the main army and continued to walk.
After looking at the stone pillar, everyone came to the altar-like thing and stood in front of it.
The surprise and excitement that had remained on everyone's faces faded with the passage of time, and when they rediscovered their current situation, a serious look crept up on everyone's faces.
Although this space is extremely large, there is a problem that they have to pay attention to...... That is, they searched everywhere and didn't see any entrances and exits!
That is, it is a completely enclosed space.
In this case, whether or not you can find the ancient relics is secondary, in case there is really a treasure hunter chasing after you...... They really think that they are turtles in an urn that have nowhere to escape.
So for the sake of safety, they must find a way to find the entrance to the ruins as quickly as possible.
However, everyone walked around this "altar" for a long time, and did not see anything that looked like an entrance.
"Could it be that the entrance is underneath here?" Someone speculated.
"No, I think it might have something to do with these eight flags." There were also people who touched their chins and stared at the flag on the platform, their faces full of contemplation.
Hearing this, Batanli had an idea, raised a green onion white finger, and said to Ji Feiya, who was carefully observing next to him: "I think that teacher is right, these eight flags must not be placed here for no reason, maybe they are all taken down, and then the mechanism to enter the ancient ruins can be triggered?" ā
Ji Feiya glanced at her, and said angrily: "These flags may really have some purpose, but they are definitely not as simple as you said, 'Take it down and trigger the mechanism'." ā
At this time, a teacher boldly jumped on the altar, walked up to the eight arranged flags, looked at them carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had found something, and exclaimed: "Look, everyone, there is something under this flag!" ā
As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out and tug lightly at the flag for more convenient observation, and then before the others had time to stop it...... I pulled out that flag!
Click.
The sound of the machine turning suddenly sounded, and the wall behind the altar slowly shook, and Sorinya, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but move her eyes, and thoughtfully shouted to the teacher who was standing on the altar and holding the flag that he pulled out: "Go on, pull out all the flags and see, maybe they are really mechanisms!" ā
"Huh? Oh. The teacher was slightly stunned and hurriedly carried it out.
When the last flag was also drawn, the rumble behind the wall reached its maximum and began to slowly separate from the center to the sides, revealing an extremely wide, long passageway!
Qi Qi looked at all this in a daze, couldn't help but turn his head, and said to Batanli, who was also stunned, with a surprised face: "Miss Batanli, you are really right. ā
Patanli also came back to her senses, she raised her little head proudly, and said proudly: "I'll just say yes, isn't it powerful?" ā
Qiqi, who didn't know the details of Batanli, was about to nod, when he saw Ki Scarlet walking forward expressionlessly, and dropped a sentence without looking back: "No, you yourself looked surprised when the wall was opened just now......" (To be continued.) )
