Carved into the obsidian are symbolic characters older than oracle bone inscriptions. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Words are just the symbols of the language, the text symbols in ancient times are quite simple, often only record more representative things, before the unification of the script by Qin Shi Huang, there were many dialects in various parts of China, of course, there are different ways of recording symbols. An item will have multiple names and spellings in the same region, and the way in which the peoples of each region will be excerpted will be different. Some words have multiple meanings, some pictograms also have meanings, some must be compared with the text before and after, and some must be interpreted by jumping words, and some words even have no meaning, just pure writing habits.

And those who grasped the precise meaning of words must have had considerable social status in ancient times.

"At first glance, there is nothing wrong with the obsidian carving in front of me, but after careful reading, it is not difficult to find that not only is the text inconsistent, but even many words are wrong, and there is a whole paragraph with a different writing structure. At this glance, we can see that the person who chose to write this article does not know much about this text, but only knows one and does not know the other, and it is only possible to grasp a rough patchwork of it, which is definitely not left at that time, and it is obvious that it was re-engraved by later generations when they built this sacrificial mausoleum." Feng Xin looked at the stone tablet and spoke seriously.

"Really? Do you really understand this ghostly talisman?"

He smiled and said, "For people who don't understand this text, it's really like a ghost drawing, and it doesn't seem to make a difference whether you draw more or less."

I nodded, and I felt like I was in English class at school, and English knew me and I didn't know it very well. If the professor writes too sloppily, it will be a ghost draw for me.

But thinking about it, this is too mysterious, the ancient characters engraved on the stone are strangely shaped, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can understand it, and he can actually interpret it so incisively, and he is really a master in the folk.

I thought about it thoughtfully, and it dawned on me, "So this stone tablet is engraved with the secret recipe of immortality?" After the baptism of the idea of the amphibious theory of mermaids and fish-snakes, I found that I became more and more able to accept this kind of fantasy.

The scales embedded in the obsidian gradually burned away, and the fire was much less violent.

Feng Xin raised his left hand and stroked the burned-out ashes on the stone tablet and said, "Immortal? This may be the explanation given to it by later generations."

I don't know if it's my delusion, Feng Xin looks a little lonely when he says this.

(I didn't understand it originally, but I figured it out after the fact.) In ancient texts, the precise meaning of life extension was replaced by simple symbols, and the stele described life rather than immortality. The definition between life continuation and immortality is very vague, so Feng Xin will say that immortality is the interpretation of later generations. )

The wine came back to me, and less than a third was left, knowing that I hadn't drunk it. I twisted the cap of the bottle, took a small sip, and glared at the grinning person across from me, and the car returned to its original appearance.

"Since you can understand it, why don't you talk about how to continue your life?" Ask casually, just out of curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Feng Xin's face sank, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence, "...... You don't need to know this, life and death are fate. A mortal is a mortal, and there is no need to fight against the heavens."

"Oh... Oh...... Understood." He said deeply, and I was a little stunned by the momentum of his speech, and my heart said that I didn't really want to know......

I handed the wine out of my hand and asked, "And why I'm here...... You don't have a clue, ......right?" Immortality is taboo and can't be asked, so ask this general line.

Feng Xin took the wine, but still didn't drink it, but handed it to Ziche again.

"There's only one possibility." Ziche took the wine and made a toast to me.

It can be seen that Feng Xin's action of handing the wine to Ziche is a metaphor for giving him the power to answer. From the time we met to the present, I have always felt that there is an indescribable tacit understanding between the three of them, and they know each other very well about each other's minds, so that when to speak, what to say, and what to do, it is like arranged, a strange triangular balance.

Ziche tilted his head and took the last bite, "It's that you've eaten shark meat."

"Shark meat?"

"The mermaid is a mermaid, which means that you have eaten mermaid meat." Qian Yu added.

"!" I replied, almost reflexively, with an exaggerated gesture, "No way. You ......."

"It's time for us to go." Feng Xin suddenly interjected.

Feng Xin has always given people an irrefutable and unquestionable momentum, on the surface, it is time to leave, but in fact, it is clear that this is the end of the matter. I saw that Qian Yu seemed to want to say something, but I swallowed it back.

But has anyone really eaten a mermaid in this world? I still believe in eating monkey brains. If I may have eaten mermaid meat when I appeared here, did they also eat it when they also appeared here?

I racked my brain to recall how many times I had eaten shark fin when I was entertaining, could it be that there was a human shark fin in it, and I didn't know that I had eaten it myself? I feel that this speculation is quite reasonable, but I really can't think of any decisive connection between the sudden appearance and mermaid meat. As I packed my backpack, my head kept turning around on the question, thinking back to what had happened in the past few hours, it was really weird, and it wasn't too bad.

While I was thinking, the slender figure of the subcar had been standing in front of the obsidian block for a while. He beckoned to Feng Xin, and when I saw this, I also followed.

"Look! There's a small hole in it, and it's pretty deep. There's got to be a problem." Ziche shined a flashlight on the small hole, and poked a few times back and forth with a pen.

This cave is not big or small, and there are many caves around it that are not far into it, and I am not very interested in where those caves can lead. But the hole was really small, and it was about enough to fit a cool cigarette.

I stood on both sides of his body and probed my head, and decided to watch the brothers perform behind me to see what they could figure out.

Suddenly, Qian Yu pushed me with his shoulder and said, "Xiao Ran, leave the stone gate to them to ponder! Let's go to the side and see what we find." As he spoke, he led me aside, and as he spoke to me, he secretly shoved a piece of something into my palm. The movement of the dish is very light and the belt is quite natural.

"Put it away, don't lose it." She whispered in my ear, and her eyes glanced at the car for a moment, and I suddenly remembered that the car has very smart ears.

I crouched down and pretended to tie my shoelaces, and shoved the stone into the pocket of my jeans. It felt like it was a stone about the size of a coin, polished and smooth, extremely cold to the touch, and there was a carved on one of the sides, but I couldn't make out what it was. It seems that the thing at hand is not visible for the time being.

Unexpectedly, I was slightly distracted, and my foot was stuck again, causing me to stumble. I glared at my feet and muttered to myself, I felt that today was a special fate for falling.

It was a small round pit that almost caused me to fall to the ground, about the size of a person's buttocks, and it was just right for a person to sit down. What intrigued me was that the arc of the pit was quite smooth, not like a natural formation, as if there was originally a ball placed here. And there was a small hole in the middle of the pit, which was not much the size of the hole in the obsidian block.

The pit was a little farther away from the place where the fire had just been lit, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

I crouched down and looked at them again, and shouted at them, "Come on, what do you think this hole is for?"

The four of them studied the pit for a long time, and Qian Yu suddenly whispered, "I understand." As she spoke, she gave the other two a look, and took out a small tin box, which was full of small lenses, and she threw one to me and said, "Xiao Ran, you help me." Don't make a fuss, put it on your phone."

"Spotlight? How can there be such a small one?" I asked and took out my phone to see that it was still powered.

"Secret Weapon! I didn't think you were very knowledgeable."

"Of course." I'm a little proud that photographers and designers are half the same as each other in a way.

She and Feng Xin walked five or six meters away, only to see Feng Xin suddenly squatting on the ground and digging up, and after a few minutes he made a gesture to us, I didn't understand what he wanted to express at all, only to see the car next to him began to dig up. It turned out that his code was to be shown to Ziche, and he understood that there was a tacit understanding between them, which could not be cultivated in three or two days.

I still felt a sense of detachment, but it didn't stay with me for long.

As soon as Ziche had dug a fist-sized hole in the edge of the round pit, the light of Qian's flashlight hit us, and I watched her movements, suggesting that I should synchronize with her. I learned to put my phone in flashlight mode and put the spotlight on.

"Holy, cool yes." The astigmatism of the mobile phone instantly turned into a single beam of light, although I understand the principle, but I still think it is very good.

Following her instructions, I pointed the light source at the small hole in the middle of the pit and covered the whole phone.

At the same time as the phone was covered, a light was released from the small hole that had just been dug by Ziche, and the beam of light was impartially projected on the left hand of the human-faced fish figure, and then refracted to the right hand of the human-faced snake figure. Under the refraction of the beam back and forth, an illusory five-element array of light and shadow was formed in the air.

The light beam is bright and dazzling, and the chalcedony already has the effect of concentrating light, and after the beam is refracted through the purple chalcedony, the entire Five Elements Array is filled with mysterious purple light.

The Five Elements Array actually seemed to float in the air, and I was stunned to look at it, and I was amazed by the design of the mechanism for thousands of years.

"Pearl of the Night." The sub-station muttered to itself beside me.

"What?" He had words in his mouth and could not hear them clearly.

He turned to me, "It's the Night Pearl, and the one that used to be placed on both sides must be the Night Pearl."

"Pearl of the Night? That...... What about the Pearl of the Night? It's not going to be an earthquake or something...... Get the hell out of here!"

"Of course it can't be, I guess it's in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang now."

Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor? It is said that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang uses mercury as the river, and the jewel night pearl is the sun, moon and stars, but I don't know if it's true or not. There are different opinions about the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and some scholars claim that it is not Qin Shi Huang who is buried in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but in any case, I want to speculate that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses won the battle, and it is not impossible to say that the Night Pearl is in his tomb.

I was still intoxicated by the incredibleness in front of me, and suddenly the beams of light intertwined with the Five Elements Array turned from strong to weak, and the ground in the center of the Five Elements Array cracked, and what caught my eye was a stone staircase leading to the ground.
