Chapter 18: Half a Stone Wall
"Su You, wake up...... Wake up! β
Su You, who was asleep, was shaken awake, and it took a long time to open his eyes to focus on the focus, "What happened?" Su You rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked Yang Song, who woke him up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"My young master has found something good, let you go over immediately." Yang Song said hesitantly, turning around to call the others.
Su You didn't ask any more, and immediately got up and went over with Yang Song.
This is a stone wall that reaches to the sky about three or four hundred meters away from the place where they camped, even in such a cold environment, this stone wall actually has many crystal water droplets, and there is still hot air on it, the closer you get to it, the higher the temperature, and when you get to it, Su You even has an urge to take off your clothes.
"When I was keeping vigil just now, I was bored to observe the surrounding environment to kill time, but I didn't expect to see a flickering light here, at first I thought it was Mr. Aaron, but then I found that the light was shaking with the beating of the fire, I was very curious, so I came to take a look, and found here." Seeing Su You and them running over in a hurry, Qi Shan took the lead in explaining.
"Where does this stone wall lead, and how can it be so hot?" Su You said, the scorching heat of the stone wall suffocated him a little.
"Our location is about 100 meters underground, and we should have passed through a lot of rock formations, so there should be something like volcanic magma behind this rock wall, and the temperature will be so high." Benjamin said.
Su You was convinced of this, this stone wall was very smooth, as if it had been polished by hand, and it didn't hurt at all.
"Could it be that this is hand-dug and polished to prevent volcanic eruptions?" Su You touched the smooth and hot stone wall and asked casually.
"Impossible, the project is so huge that it is simply beyond the capabilities of humans." Qi Shan shook his head and said.
Benjamin looked at the stone wall that reached the sky and did not speak.
At this time, Xiao Kai suddenly said: "Look, what is there!" β
When everyone heard the sound, they saw that there was a 50 cm square white stone about a meter away from them, due to the light problem, they didn't see it at first, but now they used a searchlight to shake it, and found that there was a mural carved on it vaguely!
"It's white marble!" Xiao Kai walked over to take a closer look, and then exclaimed.
"Damn, what kind of place is this, so arrogant that you use white marble to paste the wall!" Even Yang Song, who has been with Qishan since he was a child, was surprised.
"Wait, what's the painting carved here?" After Xiao Kai put away his emotions, he began to study the painting carved on the white marble.
Su You looked at it by the light of the searchlight that Carlos was holding, and after just one glance, Su You trembled, this painting is so familiar!
Xiao Kai watched it for a long time, but he didn't see a reason, "I have limited learning, and I don't know that this record is the affairs of that dynasty." Although he said this, his heart was very unwilling, the history of China from ancient times to the present, he studied every day, studied hard for nearly 20 years, the monarchs of all dynasties, cloth clothes and rivers and lakes, he knows everything about big and small things, but now he can't use it at all when he comes here, but looking at the building specifications here, it doesn't look like the common people can do it, it's really strange!
"What? You don't even know Xiaokai? Ryoko raised her voice and said incredulously.
Xiao Kai gave him a blank look, "I'm not an immortal, of course I know a lot." β
"It's no wonder you can't see it, because this place was built before the dynasty appeared!" Benjamin said.
"What? Before the advent of dynasties! Xiao Kai's eyes widened, "Historical Records" is recorded from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, but the later official history is recorded from the emergence of dynasties, if before the appearance of dynasties, then it is the Paleolithic Age of slash-and-burn cultivation of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?
Xiao Kai said his doubts, Benjamin smiled after hearing this, and said: "History can deceive people. β
Xiao Kai was puzzled, Benjamin continued: "There are many legends in China, I believe you all have heard of it, then you must also know a word, called 'no wind and no waves', that is to say, those legends are true in many cases, but later generations exaggerated him. β
Qi Shan nodded after hearing this, feeling that what he said was very reasonable, but he didn't listen to clichΓ©s, in comparison, he wanted to know more about what was engraved on this mural.
"This mural is blurred, I wonder if you can solve our puzzles?" It is the first time for Qi Shan to be so polite, after all, he is from a wealthy family, and his noble temperament is innate, and as soon as the words come out, it is both comfortable and irresistible to listen to.
It is said that Benjamin is more than ten years older than Su You, and it is not an exaggeration to call "you".
Benjamin took a closer look at Qi Shan for the first time, he had always focused on Su You's body before, just because Aaron said "I saw his photo in that person", and now it seems that these people around Su You are not simple.
Benjamin sneered and said, "It turns out that Aaron didn't tell you, his person, he is too cautious, okay, then I'll tell you." Benjamin said, walked to the front of the white marble wall, pointed to the first vague figure and said, "You should all know the head of the Three Emperors, the Emperor Suiren," everyone nodded, and he continued: "The Suiren clan married the Huaxu clan, in that era, a surname was a clan, and the two most powerful tribes at that time united together to become the king of the society at that time, but in such a family that seemed to have infinite glory, the internal deceit was self-evident. β
Xiao Kai nodded vigorously, he was well versed in history, and he naturally knew how tragic the intrigue between people was.
"The patriarch of the Huaxu clan has a powerful retainer, before marrying the Suiren clan, he helped them attack other tribes, gave him advice, and helped him stabilize the status of the patriarch, which was indispensable. Benjamin said, pointing to the vague man.
"After becoming a retainer, his ambition began to swell, and no longer satisfied with the life of fine clothes and fine food, he began to secretly cultivate his army, secretly buy the trust of the people, and spread rumors to slander the king of their tribe... Finally, one day, Hua Xu discovered his ambition, and a tragic war broke out between the two, and finally the retainer and his army were bloodily suppressed, and the matter came to an end. β
"Isn't this a very common battle for power?" Ryoko said on the side, he and Xiao Kai have always studied in the same place, but somehow, they just don't have Xiao Kai's brain.
"There are several suspicious points, first, according to legend, after the defeat of the retainer, he was killed by the army's random arrows, but his body was not found anywhere, and the patriarch of the Huaxu clan also knew about it, but he didn't know the reason and didn't continue to track it, but helped hide it, and announced the news that the retainer had been killed; Second, there seems to be a record of this person in later generations, but in other regions, I have found relevant information and actually visited him, and the people there called the retainer 'Shuxian' and worshiped him as a god. β
"It's not simple, it must be that retainer who escaped to that place." Ryoko said.
"The problem is that the place where the Huaxu clan was located was in Shaanxi, and then he was enshrined in the far north of our country, according to the traffic conditions at that time, he couldn't escape there by himself, the question is, who is the person who helped him?"
"Then why is there a mural of that retainer here? Does that mean that the retainer has been here? Su You, who had never spoken, asked, in fact, he seemed to already know what the fate of that retainer was, it was in that dream.
Benjamin's face was also a little ugly, and he said: "This is a trivial matter, for example, here is a picture of a retainer going to worship a pair of fathers, it is estimated that it is the ......king of which tribe" Benjamin suddenly stopped, and then looked at the mural again, "That's right, what is recorded here is that after the marriage of Hua Xu and the Suiren, the retainer was ordered to replace the patriarch of the Hua Xu clan to congratulate the Suiren Emperor on his new marriage!" You see, this is the gift he brought with him at that time, and then the pilgrimage of the Suiren clan, and then the individual meeting between him and the Suiren clan......"
The picture ends abruptly here.
"This piece of white marble is not complete, and the story is incomplete." Su You said, he didn't understand, why everything had to be related to Suiren Huaxu, that poor, feudal and backward Paleolithic Age, how could there be so many treasures to be found!
"That's right, we only know that the Suiren clan met with the retainers alone, and we don't know what will happen in the future." Benjamin said.
"So who built it? Is it a retainer? Or the Flint Clan? Xiao Kai said with a frown.
"It should be the Suiren clan, a mere retainer, and he doesn't have such amazing human and financial resources." Qi Shan added on the side.
After looking at it for a while, everyone got bored, so Benjamin asked Felix to take some pictures and keep them in the mission log, and then the group returned to the camp.
At this time, the fire was almost burned out, and Yang Pine added a lot of hay to it, and the fire grew taller.
"Why hasn't Aaron come back yet, it's been more than six hours!" Carlos said that because the timer's funnel had been turned over five times, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
At this time, Felix also came over after completing the task, and when he heard Carlos's words, his face was sad, and he said in a low voice: "I'm afraid he is already more than lucky!" β
"What! You repeat! Carlos was very excited, grabbed Felix's shoulder, shook it desperately, and was extremely emotional.
"Calm me down!" Benjamin scolded.
Carlos' hand stiffened, slowly sliding off Felix's shoulder, and in the light of the fire, tears could be seen lingering around his eyes.
"As Aaron's subordinates, we have no qualifications to cry, put away your tears, and don't have any complaints and crooked hearts before everything is decided, and the road must go on." Benjamin said.
When Carlos heard this, even though he was very sad in his heart, he held back his tears, Benjamin was right, he was too weak.
Su You and Qi Shan glanced at each other, and said with pity in their hearts: "What a terrifyingly powerful organization!" β
