XXXVII. A new sign
I can't remember exactly what the symbols in the submarine tomb looked like, but I still remember the two symbols engraved on the bottom of the moat and the entrance of the Yongdao just now, and now this one symbol is completely different from those two.
Fat Panzi and they really have no concept of the English alphabet, as long as it is English, they can't recognize the difference, so they didn't care just now, but I, a person who has gone to college and passed the fourth or sixth grade, although my grades are not good, I at least know that these two are different words.
I've always thought of it as a simple guide symbol, similar to any simple figure that only means 'go this way'. But if it is simply a guide, the symbol should not change, according to the general mind of people, after entering the tomb, the attention should be completely on the surrounding environment, when carving the symbol, it is impossible to intentionally change the pattern, and the symbol carving is also very hurried, indicating that the person who left the mark did not do this in a very calm situation, which also excludes the possibility of his painstaking chΓ‘o change symbol.
There is only one reason for this phenomenon, and that is that these symbols, which have different meanings, and while he leads the way, he also seems to be telling us something.
The question is, what exactly is that information? This foreign language is not a foreign language, but it is a word composed of English letters, and I really can't tell what language it is. But common similarities such as German and French are certainly not, because the arrangement of the letters is too unconventional.
And the symbol we saw at the bottom of the river and at the Yongdao crossing, after entering, did not encounter any danger, so if the meaning is assumed to be: you can enter safely, then now this different symbol, engraved here, must have a different meaning, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be a kind of jΗng notice, indicating this direction of the tomb, what is the terrible danger?
Fat people, they also felt a little problematic when they heard my thoughts, so we stopped where we were, not daring to act rashly for the time being.
However, it is already a small breakthrough here, and it can be said that it is half the battle, and the question of which side of the tomb road to go at this time is obviously not important, even if there is no symbol to guide the way, we are not alarmed.
It's just that after entering the underground palace, especially after the main tomb road, you must be especially careful in everything, because as long as there are traps in the ancient tomb, it must be in this section, and it is necessary to spend some time here.
Pan Zi said to me: "Little Third Master, we have a little knowledge of foreign languages here, even you don't know it, then you can't know it, if you don't translate these English words into Chinese, we don't know the meaning of the whole sentence, we can guess?" β
Pan Zi didn't know any English, he probably thought that English was actually the same as Chinese characters, one letter and one meaning, I was too lazy to give him a literacy, and said to them: "If you want to guess, it is better to guess who left this symbol and the purpose of his stay, so that the possibility of guessing the meaning is a little bigger." β
The fat man wondered: "We don't know who left it, but do we still have to guess the purpose of staying?" Surely this is showing us the way, huh? β
I shook my head and said, "I used to think so, but now I have to do it, if it is really for us, at least we should write the symbols that we can understand and understand, the people who carved these symbols use such obscure forms, now it seems that the purpose is not to help us, we may just pick up a bargain, this symbol is for others to see." β
Pan Zi thought about it, felt that it made sense, and asked, "Then who is the other person?" β
"Aning, there are many of them, they may have xing_dong in batches, and this symbol may be a an_hao between several of their squads." The fat man said.
I nodded, indicating that there was a possibility, but without a basis, the actual situation could not be guessed. said: "There may be other reasons, this is useless to guess now." β
What I care about the most is the information contained in this symbol, this symbol should be similar to the map of the international adventure map, some primitive jungle trails, the signs on the map have a danger level, a symbol in addition to telling you that you can walk here, you can also know what will be encountered on this road, such as a hippopotamus in the river, there will be a hippopotamus meaning code.
At this point, this symbol has changed, and the meaning of this special symbol makes people have to pay attention. Could it be that there are zongzi in this cemetery, which is really depressing.
I think of the 'bear infestation attention' on the off-road vehicle, maybe the person who left this symbol also has a way of doing things that is theorized by exploration, and this symbol may mean 'pay attention to the haunting of dumplings'. Then I thought about whether I should stick one on my golden cup bun if I could get out alive to show my xìng.
Panzi didn't know that I was already thinking nonsense, and suddenly said to me: "It's not right, I don't think the information represented by this symbol can have any hints of danger, you think, whether there is danger in the tomb, you have to walk through to know, there is no reason for them to go back and engrave this symbol after they have passed, that is, this symbol is engraved when the person is about to enter this tomb, indicating that he has gone in this direction, and tell the later people his walking order, as for what is inside, he didn't know when he carved it." This is actually a matter of detail, and it's called 'tracking language'. β
I hadn't heard of it, and the fat man asked him, "What is tracking language?" β
Pan Zi said: "Before I fought the Vietnamese monkeys, I took cultural classes when I was a soldier, and because I was serving in the jungle, I learned a lot about saving people. Tracking' language, that is, once in distress in the jungle lost, you find your own way at the same time, you must mark your walking route, this way of representation has a special rule, later the rescue team saw your logo, they knew what you did in this area, for example, the situation of sufficient food is a sign, the situation of food is another kind of indication, someone in the team is killed, another kind of sign, the rescue team follow your logo, you can know your recent situation all the way, if things are extremely worse, they can use this mark as a basis to upgrade the rescue strategy, which I heard is invented when the old United States fought the Vietnameseγ β
The fat man asked him, "Then you have studied, can you understand it?" β
Pan Zi shook his head and said, "I mean, maybe, this code is completely different from what I learned at the time, and I don't recognize it, but I believe it should be a kind of tracking language." We don't have to decipher him, the change of this symbol, maybe just to say that he twisted his foot here. β
The fat man sighed and said: "The situation is not good, if it is really 'tracking' language, it means that the person who left this symbol is not fucking ambitious, he is preparing for his second echelon, that is, he does not have the confidence that he can come out alive when he enters here this time." β
Pan Zi said: "Yes! So having said so much, there is no practical effect, I think, since this symbol is not left for us to see, we should not see this mark, our main task now is to find the third master, the symbol is not engraved by the third master, that is to say, the third master is not necessarily the way to go, even if you go smoothly. We go our own, we have poured a lot of fights before, and it is not that we have never encountered this situation, so I don't believe that we can't even go to the grave. β
This argument is in line with the fat man's appetite, the fat man nodded in agreement, and said to us: "Lao Pan, this sentence seems to be a human saying, it is better for us to divide the soldiers into two ways, you and Xiao Wu go on that side, I and Xiao Shunzi go on this side, let's see whose color is bright, anyway, it is a straight road, if you go to the end and find that it is not right, turn back, and the other pair go right, just wait outside the coffin hall and others." Hesitating here is not the way to go. β
I felt that this was inappropriate, and said: "That's right, I'm afraid that this main tomb road is not so easy to walk, you look at the four-foot stone slab underground, this kind of tomb road is likely to be equipped with stray arrows and flap mechanisms, don't the two teams go to the end, they all die in the tomb, we will say goodbye forever as soon as we part." β
The fat man laughed at me and said: "According to what you say, you shouldn't come, you're full, what are you doing here, since you've gone down to the underground palace, you shouldn't be afraid of this little." β
I said in my heart that this is what I want to come, Lao Tzu's desire has always been to be a small citizen with a lot of money, and I don't know what kind of luck I have taken this year, and I am guilty of Zongzi, and now I am not afraid of Zongzi, but I am not careful not to let me be careful, what is this called.
Pan Zi thought the same as me, and said to the fat man: "No, the little third master is right, just say a reason, the people in the Aning horse team must be nearby, we don't guard against zongzi, we also have to guard against people, the firepower of two guns is better than one, and in case one team of people goes out and disappears, and doesn't come back, what should the other team do?" Let's still be together, there is a reflection. β
Junzi, who had not spoken, also said: "No matter what, I have to send Boss Wu, and I must follow him." β
The fat man raised his hand and surrendered to the three of us: "You two are engaged in a personality cult, tnd isolate me, count me unlucky, then you can do whatever you say, it's a big deal to die together." β
Pan Zi said: "Let's go in this marked direction first, if it's not right, then turn back, and be careful in everything." β
We nodded in agreement, I knew very well in my heart, anyway, at this point, no matter how good we discussed here, it was useless, which way to go now, how to go, it all depends on luck.
So getting up, Pan Zi pulled out a folding pathfinder stick similar to a blind man's stick, and while knocking on the ground, we walked in the direction where the symbol was engraved.
I was extremely careful along the way, and I was actually very tired of this kind of place where walking was not peaceful, but there was no way, since I came here, I couldn't miss this step, otherwise the hard work before would not be in vain.
I thought that I would spend at least half an hour in this tomb, but what I didn't expect was that this section of the tomb road was extremely short, less than two hundred meters, and it suddenly widened, and a huge jade gate appeared at the end.
I recognized at a glance that this was the gate of the Hades Temple, because the tomb gate at the entrance of the tomb would not have been made of such good stone. The bottom half of the door had been blown away, revealing a large hole. Apparently someone had already entered, and I don't know if it was Aning or someone else.
I secretly rejoiced in my heart, so we are still on the right path, behind the door is the core part of the entire underground palace, I immediately came up with the structure of many classic mausoleums, although this is the imperial tomb of Dongxia, but it was built by the Han people, presumably there will not be much difference from the tombs of the Central Plains, what will you see after entering? I couldn't help but be a little nervous, I didn't know what the coffin of the King of Wannu looked like, and whether there were any coffins around for burial.
The jade door of the tomb will have a mechanism, and the stone walls on both sides are likely to be empty, filled with poisonous stone powder, and there is often no way to crack this mechanism, because the tomb is closed and you don't plan to open it again, even if you are a craftsman who designed this door, you can't enter after closing it.
But this door has been blown up like this, and it is estimated that some mechanisms have also been destroyed, so there is no need to worry about this, a few of us leaned down, and entered the tomb behind the door. For the sake of prudence, the fat man started a cold fire, so that we could increase the lighting intensity, so that we could see the layout of the tomb clearly.
The moment the cold smoke was lit up, we saw a suffocating scene appear in front of us, and everyone didn't expect to see such a scene, almost frozen in place and unable to move.
