The dim light of the mine seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, and the black rocks on the head were pressed very low, with edges and corners, and it hurt when they accidentally bumped into it, and there were heavy panting voices of everyone around them. Professor Zhang in front of him dragged an injured leg, and every meter of slow crawling showed a sharp pain involving the wound. The forward view was blocked by Professor Zhang, and I saw his figure moving and stopping in front of me, and I could only sacrifice my shoulder to let his left leg step on it, and the big head also turned around and dragged it from time to time, and everyone didn't have much body, plus they hadn't eaten all day, and the team crawled like a snail at a speed that can be imagined.

I don't know how long I moved in the dark, and the flat holes between the upper and lower joints gradually became higher, until the person was able to sit up with his waist straight, and then he took a break and drank a few sips of water. After three or four hungry meals, in addition to dizziness and dizziness, the body recovers extremely slowly, but the feeling of hunger has long been gone.

The road gets wider and wider the way up and down, and with a slight upward slope, the mood can finally be a little broader. Being in the Jedi, people's desires and extravagances have become simpler, as long as it is not a dead end, it would be better if there were more steamed buns, even if it is rancid?

The body was finally able to stand upright, the air around it slowly dried, and the breathing was not smooth but there was no response to hypoxia. At a slightly curved turning point, Gao Tong motioned for everyone to rest for a while and looked around, "The two of us walked here just now, and I don't know what the situation is ahead." The hole is getting wider and wider, and according to this law, if you are lucky enough, you should be able to find a way out. ”

Looking along the cave, the left and right twists and turns are wide and narrow, and the feet are uneven, and the vision is not far away, and the lack of depth makes me inexplicably panicked, and I always feel that there are strange and strange things waiting for us in front. I shuddered slightly, and was just about to turn around and sit down on the ground, when a slight commotion in the distance mobilized my nerves to a high degree of tension, and I subconsciously blurted out, "What sound?" ”

The surroundings were quiet all at once, everyone focused all their attention on their ears, and for seven or eight seconds they did not move, and the big head leaned over and touched a palm-sized stone on the ground, and held it tightly in his hand.

The depths of the cave are still dark and silent, the tense atmosphere gradually eases down, watching Professor Zhang move his injured leg with great effort, Gao Tong went over to help him, settled him and found a raised boulder to sit down, I began to worry a little, if the fracture is not treated in time, at least it should be recuperated, so tossed, this leg is afraid to be wasted.

Professor Zhang's face was sallow, it was not easy to grit his teeth and persist after a burst of drag just now, everyone looked at his appearance of being sinned, and they couldn't help him, their mood was heavy, coupled with the situation of not knowing life and death, for a while, the decadent love permeated everyone's hearts, and even the desire to speak was gone.

Time waits for no one, the longer you stay, the more unfavorable the situation, I and the big head took turns to support Professor Ma, a few people followed Gao Tong to the depths, only a few minutes down, the trend of the cave gradually turned from the upward slope to the downward, the mood of the people flickered up and down and went straight to the roller coaster.

The most fearful thing about being trapped in the caves in the belly of the mountain is that the terrain is getting lower and lower, and I feel that there is no bottom in my heart, when Gao Tong, who was walking first a few meters away, suddenly stopped, pointed to the front with a gloomy face and said, "The road seems to be over." ”

Everyone panicked all of a sudden, walked a few steps, the cave that was gradually getting wider seemed to be cut off by force to the end, there was no road around to allow people to go, looked up and scanned, the height of the top of the cave here is uneven, the highest point is two people high, and I can't see the hole that can climb through the hole, etc., I don't feel secretly bitter. Hope was shattered in an instant, everyone's mood completely dropped to the freezing point, they looked at each other, and everyone's panic and helplessness were clearly written on their faces.

"What is this?" The big head's eyes are the best, and the flashlight hit a place on the stone wall more than one person high next to him, and then he turned his head sideways and said to me: "Look, is that the cave wall text we have encountered?" ”

A few rays of light gathered together, I squinted my eyes and looked, sure enough, there were a few red handwriting written on the black rock, which was not eye-catching, and it was also a loss of the sharp eyes of the big head, and I really couldn't find it if I didn't look carefully. As a prehistoric text, the cave wall inscription is already a mature script, I have met with Datou a few times, and now I look carefully at the handwriting, and intuitively feel that it is not like it at all, and slowly shake my head, "It doesn't look like a text, could it be some special mark?" ”

Professor Zhang coughed lightly at this time, and said: "This may be the 'Tao Wen' of the Hongshan Culture Period, this kind of primitive Tao Wen is occasionally found in archaeology, most of them appear in the pottery shards, the famous Banpo Tao Wen Ding Gong Tao Wen and so on, each kind of Tao Wen has no connection with each other, no one can translate it, but these few obvious Hongshan Tao Wen ......"

Looking at Professor Zhang's demeanor of wanting to speak and stopping, everyone was a little anxious, and Gao Tong couldn't help but urge: "If you have any guesses, just say it, this is not a strict academic discussion, we don't need to dwell on it." ”

Professor Zhang nodded, "I've seen the Tao Wen in the middle, counting the ...... in front of me - there are three in total." The first time was on a petroglyph marked on a Hongshan cultural site in Inner Mongolia, which recorded a very peculiar sacrificial ritual; The second time was in the middle of a pile of unearthed pottery shards, after the bonding and restoration of the scattered pottery shards, it was found that the pottery inscription was carved under a pottery painting, and the pattern of the pottery painting was also a scene reflecting the sacrifice. At least on the surface, the two separate appearances of the symbols are accompanied by grand sacrificial scenes. ”

Gao Tong followed Professor Zhang's words and asked, "Then you mean that this Taowen character represents the sacrifice?" ”

Professor Zhang paused reluctantly for a moment, and then said "um" without confidence, "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." "After all, I think it's a rigorous old pedant, when is this, everyone hates to talk nonsense and imagine those few symbols as highway signs, you can easily have a guess, where do you still have the leisure to carefully engage in verification.

Gao Tong frowned, it is not difficult to imagine that even if these few Tao Wen with unknown meanings represent sacrifices, it is really not helpful to us, and between hesitations, the silence on the side suddenly intercepted the topic, "No matter what this symbol represents, every time it appears, it is accompanied by sacrifices...... Then why is this place clean and clean, without any traces of sacrifice? ”
