Chapter 535: The road ahead is bleak
Since I couldn't see clearly, I had to turn my attention to the copper walls on both sides. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The imaginative motifs on the walls, interspersed with a variety of quirky symbols, appear to be a picture scroll from beginning to end, with no partitions in between, unlike any other style of wall carving from any other period.
While looking at these wall carvings, I tried to think about it, and from what I had just observed the contents of the wall carvings, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell for a while.
Something seemed missing from the beautiful patterns, and I kept recalling the murals I had seen before, trying to compare them and find out what was different.
I suddenly noticed that these wall carvings seemed a bit monotonous, except for the patterns and some abstract symbols...... Writing! That's right, it's words!
I said how I always felt that something was not right, it turned out that in this long passage, on both sides of the passage that had been walked dozens of meters, there was not a single character.
"Sanchi, why don't you say there is a word on this wall carving?" I asked the little girl next to me.
Sanchi seemed to be very disdainful and said, "There was no writing in ancient times, don't you know? ”
"Uh......, this...... I really don't know, I thought the Yellow Emperor already had writing at that time. "I really don't know when my ancestor's words began to appear, which is really embarrassing.
Sanchi immediately asked, "So, you always know who made the word, right?" ”
"Uh...... This one...... I, you make me think about it, I seem to really know this, yes...... Cangjie? "I was a little afraid to confirm what she asked.
Sanji nodded approvingly, "Well, it's not too stupid, I finally remember something." The Chinese characters we use now were indeed created by Cangjie. However, as early as thousands of years ago in Cangjie, there were already written words. ”
"What?!! …… There was writing before Cangjie?! Sanchi's words made me feel a little confused, she sounded completely contradictory.
Since Cangjie had writing before him, why is it said that Cangjie was the first person to create Chinese characters?
Sanji seemed to know my confusion, and then said: "There were many words before Cangjie, and there were several, and these words are relatively unique, and they all carry a trace of mysterious power, because these are not words used by ordinary people, and later generations call them - divine scripts. ”
Divine !?
Just now, when Sanji told me that there was no writing during the Yellow Emperor period, I drew a question mark in my heart, because I had seen an ancient script on the stone tablet of the Wuji Array, and Lao Pan also said that it should belong to the ancient script of the Yellow Emperor period.
But later I also checked some information myself, the Yellow Emperor did not use words when he destroyed Chiyou, and people at that time used knotted ropes to remember, that is, when they encountered important events, they used ropes to tie a knot, representing the time and date, and at most they drew a symbol to represent the event.
It was not until the Yellow Emperor's historian Cangjie created writing that this ended the long primitive society of mankind and moved step by step to the top of civilization.
But what is the matter with this divine text? …… With a mysterious text, I asked Sanchi, "Is that stone tablet of the Gates of Hell in Death Valley a divine script?" ”
Lao Dao also stopped, and turned back to wait for Sanji to answer, because it was from the stone chamber under the stone tablet that he entered the Land of Heavenly Punishment.
Sanji shook his head and said: "The stone tablet of the Gate of Hell is not a divine text, and the passage under the stone tablet is only a spare passage built by the ancestors of our two clans, but it has been in disrepair for a long time and the interior can no longer be activated, and after the Taoist chief came in from the outside, the passage also collapsed completely." I already knew about this when I was in Bagua City, and the city lord also sent someone to check it out. ”
I glanced at Lao Dao, and I realized that the deputy commander I met at the foot of the mountain, he intercepted me by the way, mainly to check the passage.
As soon as I thought of this, I only heard "Boom! A loud bang came from behind me, and there was a violent vibration in the passage, and I quickly looked back, I damn it! The passage behind us was cut off, and a bronze gate split the passage in two, completely blocking our way out.
What's going on? Could it be that someone else here is controlling the Bronze Gate? Or did we inadvertently touch the mechanism? Anyway, when I got to the front of the bronze gate, I found that the thing could not be removed at all, and we had no choice but to continue along the passage.
Qingsong Dao Chang asked Sanji: "If this is the passage to the Yellow Emperor Baoding Middle Palace, will there be a path to go out ahead?" ”
I couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, yes, if there is no road ahead, we have to go back the same way, but...... There's no going back now.
Sanji thought for a moment and said, "There is no way out, unless we can dig this bronze door open." I don't know what it's going to be like inside, and now everyone has to try their luck. ”
Looking at the passage made entirely of bronze, I felt a headache, not only because of the sturdiness of the metal passage, but also because of the mysterious divine power blessing here, which made me dare not think about it if I wanted to destroy it, for fear that the divine power would sense it and deal a devastating blow to us.
In desperation, we can only hope for the future. Looking at the green bronze passage, I couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness, a feeling I had never felt before in any difficult environment.
As I continued to move forward, the mysterious spiritual power became more and more obvious, seeping out from the surrounding copper walls, and a gentle force was squeezing my body.
Just as I was about to mention the spiritual power confrontation, Sanji suddenly said, "Relax your body, don't resist, this divine power is verifying our identity." ”
I was about to ask her why, when I suddenly noticed that Aomatsu had stopped, and in front of him there was a bronze door, blocking our way.
With a stomach full of questions, I tried to relax my body and let the divine power pass through my body, I felt as if I had been scanned, and although I was not hurt in any way, I had the feeling of being stripped naked and looked through.
The divine power swept over my body and vanished, and after a few moments, there was a faint grinding sound within the wall, more like the sound of a giant metal winch turning.
With the "Click! With a soft sound, the bronze door in front of it creaked upward.
The moment the bronze door was raised, a wave of heat suddenly blew through the crack in the door, almost making me go straight away.
The three of us hurriedly retreated, and when the bronze door was fully raised, a blinding red light suddenly lit up, illuminating the passage to the fullest.
This heat wave just came too suddenly, and after more than ten seconds of adaptation, I found that the temperature in the channel was not too high, but people couldn't help but sweat profusely.
I squinted and looked out of the passage, it seemed to be a huge space outside, but it was still underground, the source of the red light was the central underground, due to the angle, I didn't know what was glowing, but this fluctuating red light looked like it was emitted by a burning flame.
Sanji was uncharacteristically standing in front of us at this time, and although she was also drenched in sweat, she was slightly excited to apply.
Without waiting for me to ask, she said: "According to the legend in the Phoenix Temple, the Yellow Emperor Baoding has hidden a shocking secret, which is related to the rise and fall of all things in the world, and also determines the fate of the Huaxia clan......
Hearing her say so mysterious, I couldn't help asking, "Is the secret you are talking about the Yellow Emperor Baoding itself, or is it something recorded on the Baoding?" Because she said before that the ornaments on the Yellow Emperor's Nine Tripods are very complex, recording almost the major events that happened in the entire ancient period, as well as some unknown secrets. That's why I asked.
Sanji replied: "I don't know what that secret refers to, the legend of the Phoenix Temple only says that Baoding involves an ancient secret, and a proverb: Those who get the Yellow Emperor Baoding coexist with heaven and earth." ”
I thought about her words carefully, it seems to mean that she didn't say anything, and that proverb is more like the evaluation of the past dynasties and dynasties, that is, the evaluation of the 'He's Bi', that is, the 'jade seal of the country', and the one who gets the jade seal wins the world.
