Chapter 22: The Minotaur

readx;??? Everyone turned on the searchlights, and suddenly the entire underground palace was as unobstructed as if it were daytime. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info We walked along the avenue into the wall. There are a total of five walls here, all of which are circular. Sure enough, they were all concentric circles. There are a lot of houses inside each wall, and since you have already come here and you don't see any danger, you don't need to rush to the Tanah Lot temple in the center. Let's take our time from the outermost layer. Since this is the capital, there must be a lot of good things on the periphery.

We split through the gate and searched on both sides, coming back when we met and entering the next floor. There were a lot of good things here, and the paint was all over the walls, and every house was like that. From here on, my camera never stopped. Although there is no such thing as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., there are no written records at all. Gao Yanan brought a camera phone, and he kept taking pictures. Although his mobile phone is also 13 million pixels, and it is also 64G memory, he didn't dare to use it without going far. There are so many things that need to be documented. Fortunately, when my DSLR came, I replaced it with a 1T memory card, so I could use it so unscrupulously.

I smiled and shook the camera in my hand at Gao Yanan and said, "How is it?" Your phone is not working. I'll just say, the memory of the phone is too small. You still said you couldn't use it, now you know you're wrong. Gao Yanan said unconvinced: "It's nothing, I only need those with words, and I don't want the rest, I guess I can finish here." โ€

I nodded and said, "Yes, although there are many paintings here, there are really not many words." Gao Ping, Zhang Qiang, do you know these words? Zhang Qiang shook her head and said, "I don't know, these words are the kind of bull-headed characters." The words on the book are the same as those found in the Pyramid Hill on the Plateau of Enajl. We don't know. โ€

Gao Gao Ping also nodded and said: "Boss, let's just write it down, and when the time comes, we will hand it over to the state and see if the country has any way to decipher it." It's been more than half a year, and it is estimated that the country already has a certain understanding of that book. When these words are returned, perhaps the state will be able to successfully decipher them. โ€

Leng Feng frowned and said, "Xinyue, look at these murals, what are these?" โ€

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, these murals are too abstract. If you look at these, are there mosquitoes larger than the size of the people? And these, you see, these big snakes can devour elephants. Although there are legends of snakes swallowing elephants, but those are just legends, how can there be such a big snake. I think these are imaginary paintings. And the legend of the snake swallowing the elephant may have been passed down from here. โ€

Yu Qian said with a smile: "Xinyue, you are too funny, those are not mosquitoes, are they dragonflies." When have you ever seen a mosquito's wings in this shape? "I took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a dragonfly. I smiled awkwardly and said, "That's the long mouth." โ€

Ye Simin said: "This is not to blame Professor Shui, dragonflies have such long mouths. I also think it's mosquitoes. โ€

Gao Yanan said: "Okay, don't care what he is? Let's go into the next house. โ€

The inside of the next house is much the same as the last one, and I don't see much difference. After a few photos of the text in a hurry, we hurriedly moved on to the next room. As soon as we came out of the fourth house, we saw Qin Tai and the others already standing in front of us with a smile.

I was surprised and asked, "How did you get here?" So fast? โ€

Qin Tai said with a wry smile: "It's full of paintings, and all of them are abstract paintings and postmodernist paintings, our level is too low to appreciate it." So they came over one by one. What did you find? Why did you walk through so many houses? Is there anything new to discover? โ€

Leng Feng said with a smile: "We are arguing whether the animals in the paintings are mosquitoes or dragonflies, so we have delayed our efforts. Qin Tai shook his head and said, "You really can." We walked more than fifty houses, and you only walked four. Where you are on a treasure hunt, it's a vacation. I'm afraid that the vacationers are not as leisurely as yours. โ€

I smiled and said, "Only by keeping the heart of vacation can you not feel bored, not lonely, not afraid, not afraid." No, ......" Qin Tai hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Yes, yes, don't say it." I see, I see. โ€

Ye Simin asked, "Qin Tai, how many houses have you left?" Qin Tai was stunned, thought for a while and said, "It seems to be fifty-six." Ye Simin nodded and said, "We walked four, and the total is sixty." โ€

I was surprised and said, "Jiazi number? Ye Simin shook his head and said, "It should be a multiple of six." โ€

Gao Yanan urged: "Just take a look at the next floor." โ€

We went back to the main entrance and entered the second layer of the fence. It is still separated on both sides, each going its own way. There are people in these rooms who are painted. But these paintings are no longer animals, but plants. There are all kinds of trees, grasses, mushrooms, vines and the like. Interestingly, some of the mushrooms are inhabited directly as houses. With the influence of the large animals in front of us, we are no longer surprised to see such a large plant, as if it is a matter of course. It's just that the shock in my heart is not casually gone.

came out and waited for Qin Tai, and asked the houses they walked through, this time the total number was thirty-six. We all believed Ye Simin's inference, which was a multiple of six. It seems that the next floor is eighteen or twenty-four houses.

The house inside the third wall is still painted. But this time it's a human being. There are all kinds of skin sรจ, all kinds of people with all kinds of touches. There are minotaurs, Mayans, and earthlings. And some weird stuff, just that kind of human-faced spider or something, there's a lot of it. They all live with human beings. Of particular interest are two kinds, one is the mermaid, which is found in all ponds. It's so beautiful and in harmony with its surroundings. It seems to be a noble princess, that kind of grace and luxury makes people's hearts break, and there is a momentum that makes people look up and worship. I really don't know who painted it, but even the aura is expressed. Presumably, Wu Daozi back then would sigh to himself if he saw this.

The second type is a half-human, half-horse guy, just like the Sagittarius god in the West. It's just that instead of the warriors described in Greek mythology, like those Mayan slaves, each one has a Mayan commander behind them. Let's wonder if these guys with beast faces and bodies are all slaves of the Mayans? The Minotaurs must not be an exception, right? Could the war between the Minotaurs and the Mayans be a revolution? Could it be anti-**? Like the peasant uprisings in ancient China?

There were twenty-four houses on this floor, and we only entered one and stopped. We know it's the same thing down there. The results were confirmed by Qin Tai. Looking at Qin Tai's bitter appearance, we held back a smile in our hearts and said patiently: "Don't be discouraged, there may be good things below." You see, people, animals, and plants have all appeared, so there should be nothing to paint. Qin Tai nodded and said, "Yes." So why don't we hurry up? โ€

There were only twelve houses in the fourth, and we went in and looked at the rooftops and counted them. Qin Tai hurriedly beckoned his people to leave. We laughed and walked into a room. It's just the same disappointment. But it's finally a little better than the previous one. Here is a map of the battle between the Minotaurs and the Mayans. Actually all species participated in the battle. However, all humanoids are a group of minotaurs. The scene is vividly depicted, which makes people feel a sense of blood boiling after watching it. That kind of tragedy, that kind of momentum, raised the passion of the humanoid creatures led by the Minotaur to the extreme. After 10,000 years, we can still feel the tragedy and tragedy of that war. Clearly, the defeat of the Mayans was a foregone conclusion.

Gao Gao Ping suddenly said: "Boss, look here, the Mayans and humans have failed. You say, the reason why the Maya live in the primeval jungle is that they are hiding from the Minotaurs. โ€

Ye Simin also nodded and said, "Very likely." Think about it, whether it is Chinese or foreign, how many of them are human? Just like in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", there are so many gods, but none of them are human. Even Nuwa and the Queen Mother of the West are the same. โ€

Zhang Qian also said: "Yes, these are all demons in Taoism, but they are gods in other places. This may have something to do with the victory of the Minotaurs over the Maya, because history is always written by the victorious people, and in the Minotaur world, these humanoids are the gods. But the strange thing is, why is there no news of the Minotaur now? Their information is much less than that handed down by the Maya. If it weren't for the legend of the Yellow Emperor fighting Chiyou in China, we wouldn't know that there was such a humanoid creature as the Minotaur. They may also be the ones who drove the Maya into the primeval jungle. is such a powerful creature that disappeared into the long river of time and disappeared silently.

At this time, Qin Tai shouted loudly outside, "What's wrong with you? Our eleven houses have been turned around, why are you still in the first one? Did you find anything? โ€

After we came out, we told our conjectures, and Qin Tai said in surprise: "Damn, your fantasy power is too rich, and you can actually make such a colorful reasoning." It's fucking better than Sherlock Holmes. I think if you write this reasoning into a novel, many people will definitely enjoy reading it. Maybe you're the famous writer of the future. โ€

I smiled at Qin Tai and said, "Get out of the way, it's not good to make a joke, just what kind of writer, do you think it's so easy to be a writer?" What you need is perseverance and responsibility. Casual is not famous. If you only rely on momentary interest and passion, the name eunuch has been staring at you. โ€

Qin Tai smiled: "You said that the eunuch will die?" Also eunuch, fortunately I read Chinese history for a few more years, otherwise I really don't know what it means? โ€

Gao Yanan said with a smile: "Okay, stop playing, let's go inside again, and enter the courtyard last." Let's see what they have, and then we'll go to Tanah Lot to have a look. Hey, don't you think it's strange? How come I didn't see those brass pillars that Plato spoke of? And these walls, the walls are only made of ordinary stone, and there is no brass wrapping. We can't be in the wrong place, right? Or is it not what Plato said here? โ€

I shook my head and said, "Who knows." Let's take a look at it again, and we'll talk about it all after we've seen it. Everyone nodded again and again and entered the courtyard on the fifth floor. There are only six houses here, and there is only one Tanah Lot temple in the courtyard on the sixth floor. We see it clearly here.

The houses in the courtyard on the fifth floor are very different. It's still painted, but it's not on Earth anymore. Inside, there is not only a vast starry sky, but also the shape of a spaceship. Various. The flying saucer is just the most inconspicuous one in it, and it is also the smallest one. I hurriedly took pictures of all this and hurried to the second house. Sure enough, it's different here, although it's still a starry sky, it looks much finer than before. It is more detailed and comprehensive than what we see in the ancient ruins of Mount Tai. There are not only graphics, but also textual annotations. It's just that we don't know these words, so we have to record them in the camera and wait for them to be handed over to the state so that they can crack it.

I didn't let go of all six houses this time, and I recorded each one of them. These are the treasures we need, and those gold and silver jewels are of little value in our eyes. Everyone has enough gems to eat for several lifetimes, who cares about those gold, silver and jewelry?

After I finished taking the photo, Qin Tai said, "Professor Shui, it's time for us to enter Tanah Lot Temple." โ€

I nodded, didn't we come here so hard for Tanah Lot Temple? Although it is different from what is depicted in Plato's fables, it still can't stop our enthusiasm and our desire. This is the sacred place of the Mayans, and although the evidence we have now made us suspicious, who can resist the temptation of the ancient civilization more than 10,000 years ago? Now we are like facing the veil of the bride, whether we want to lift it or not, and the feeling of suffering from gains and losses is extremely complicated. Is it what we imagined? If so, how would I feel to express that feeling? If not, how can that loss be resolved?

We couldn't help but slow down and slowly walked towards Tanah Lot. That cautious look is probably more devout than the pilgrims of Mecca. This may be the origin of humanity, the origin of mankind. Standing at the door of the temple, we did not dare to enter, looking at the temple hesitantly, and there was always a feeling of fear in our hearts. No, not fear, but a deep awe deep in my heart. It is a kind of faith, a kind of persistence in our hearts to the faith. Now let us break this insistence and face the faith directly, which is not only a psychological challenge, but also a test for Jing God.

I let out a long sigh and said, "Let's go, since we're here, no matter what the outcome is, we have to face it." Even if the truth is not what we think, there is only one truth. Besides, more than 10,000 years have passed, and the merits and demerits of the Mayans are only judged by others. We are just passers-by, just passers-by who dig out the truth. Because a passer-by is a person who discovers the truth unintentionally. โ€

Gao Yanan said: "I have never felt this way before, it feels so cool to see it if you dare not see it, it is really exciting." โ€

Yes? We didn't expect him to say something like that? Stimulate? What is this? It actually came out of the thrilling feeling. Is it because we are unresponsive or is there something wrong with her nerves?

Gao Yanan looked at us and asked, "What?" Am I not right? You don't feel the stimulation? โ€

I was dumbfounded, and said, "Ah, it's exciting, it's exciting." More exciting than bungee jumping. I'm almost delirious. It's exciting. At this time, you actually said such a thing? It's also exciting, I'm by you, what's there to be excited about. I pointed at Gao Yanan, looking like he hated iron but not steel. Gao Yanan looked at me blankly and said, "Xinyue, what's wrong with you?" Did I make you angry? Why don't you beat me up and get angry? โ€

I patted my head, it hurt. Why did Gao Yanan also learn to be coquettish? Is this still the iron-clad special forces instructor?

Gao Yanan's tone changed and said, "Okay, right? The atmosphere is much better now than it was just now. That's what we should be, don't be so lifeless. We are here to hunt for treasure, not to mourn, as if ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. You're all right. โ€

I looked at Gao Yanan in amazement, this kind of lively atmosphere has always been Lu Liang's specialty, how did Gao Yanan also learn? It also used it on me. Thinking of Gao Yanan's pitiful eyes and pitiful tone just now, there was really a feeling in my heart that I needed to protect her. Women may be the most beautiful at such times. At this time, it was a man who waited and unconsciously felt that he was a character, and wanted to protect others, and he had long forgotten that that person was much stronger than you.

We all laughed dumbly, and those who were at a loss for Gao Yanan's sudden change understood what was going on, Ye Manqing gave Gao Yanan a thumbs up and said approvingly: "Instructor, you are really amazing, I have been thinking about what method should be used to transform everyone from that suppressed emotion, but I have not been able to think of a good way." I didn't expect you to succeed as soon as you made a move, which really surprised me. โ€

Gao Yanan smiled and said, "I knew that you were also thinking of a way, so I should have asked you to show it." Don't pay it back, the gun is your job. Ha ha. Hearing Gao Yanan say this, Ye Manqing also laughed.

We easily walked into the Tanah Lot Temple, and the offerings in it were indeed the Minotaurs. (To be continued.) )
