Chapter 45: Words
A few of us surrounded the one-eyed dragon, vigilantly watching his every move, and at this time, the bloodshot in his eyes had subsided, and he stared at us in a daze, as if he was still a little delirious. After a moment, his eyes began to focus, and then his face showed surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
It seems that people have come to their senses.
Hongmao breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed his hand with a smile, pinched his fingers crackling, and said, "We have been here all along, since you kid has woken up, then we should also settle old accounts." "The one-eyed dragon is asleep during this time, but the red hair is tossed enough, I saw his action, I couldn't help but get angry, and said: "Okay, okay, when is it, if you want to retaliate, wait until you go out." ”
The one-eyed dragon was obviously still stunned, and slowly sat up, then frowned, hissed in his mouth, and covered the gunshot wound on his arm: "How did I get hurt?" Am I hallucinating? He was talking to himself, reaching out at random to grab someone, as if he wanted to see if we were real or fake.
Before, the lazy man said that after dreaming for a long time, people will collapse their minds, but now it seems that although the one-eyed dragon has not collapsed, it is already in a daze, fortunately it woke up early at this time, otherwise I really don't know what will happen in the future. I slapped his hand that was trying to pinch people, and explained the reason, and the one-eyed dragon did not suddenly realize, but looked at us with a distrustful gaze, and asked, "Then how can I be sure that the previous qiē is a dream, or the current one qiē is a dream?" ”
I was asked with a wry smile, in fact, this is a difficult proposition to answer, the reality of dreams and reality are intertwined, and no one can be sure that previous experiences, which are true and which are false.
The red hair waved his hand, and said angrily: "One-eyed, don't mention what is true or false now, anyway, what is in front of you now is a few of us, is it possible that you still plan to wander around this place alone?" ”
The one-eyed dragon was silent.
Actually, this situation was a bit unexpected to me, so I couldn't help but ask, "What have you been dreaming about all this time?" "To be exact, what he 'experienced' during this time.
The one-eyed dragon frowned, looking at me with that single eye. This was the first time I had given him a look, and after a moment, he just said briefly, "A lot of ...... In order to save me, the owner fell into that dark passage. As he spoke, his eyes flickered a few times, and he suddenly got up and said, "I have to save him." ”
He suddenly jumped up like this, which startled me, and I hurriedly said: "I am alive and well, I haven't fallen into any secret passage, it is just your dream." ”
The one-eyed dragon made his suspicions clear: "There can't be such a real dream, I don't know what you are, I just believe in myself." ”
"That's good." Hongmao rolled his eyes and smiled: "In that case, where did the gunshot wound on your body come from?" How do you think about it, why did you suddenly appear in this place? There is a saying that the limbs are well developed and the mind is simple. surnamed Zhang, seeing that you are tall and big, with tendons and flesh, why is this IQ so anxious. ”
The one-eyed dragon suddenly became angry and said, "Red-haired boy, I didn't beat you up just now, did I!" ”
Just now?
The two didn't fight just now, huh?
Hongmao was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and jumped to his feet angrily: "Okay, you are one-eyed, you are beating me in your dreams, if you don't clean up today, you are a vegetarian when I am a wizard!" As he spoke, the staff in his hand beckoned to the one-eyed dragon like a dog-beating stick. The one-eyed dragon was still tied with his hands at this time, and he couldn't stop it, so he could only dodge with a wolf.
The lazy man lazily opened his mouth and said, "Enough, since you have Tianyan, then don't waste time, let's go." ”
The red fur was not unreliable, he took the staff, handed the one-eyed dragon a look to go out and fight again, and then we decided to go out. Since the Celestial Eye in my hand can dispel the Nightmare, and I can sense the approach of the Nightmare in advance, the chances of us successfully leaving are greatly enhanced.
The few of us immediately followed the original plan and tied everyone up with ropes. Immediately after, he avoided these coffins and walked towards the passage where Wen Min had come before. Since Wen Min has been here for a long time, and has been shuttling between dreams and reality, he has long been unable to distinguish what he has seen before, which is true and which is false, so we can't know in advance what will lie ahead.
The passage was not very long, and at the end of it was a stone door, ajar, with some faded paints. The pigment on the surface of the stone gate has uniformly faded to brown, mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish, and you can only see some dark lines through guò. The picture depicted above seems to be a sacrificial scene, and the people in it are still carrying something on their shoulders. At first, I didn't understand what those things were, but finally I realized that they were fighting against dried corpses.
Wen Min looked surprised, frowned and thought for a moment, and said: "On that bronze tripod before, I mentioned that Tianyan has always used human sacrifice, I thought it was only a few people at best, but I didn't expect it to be ......" Although she didn't say the words later, her expression was obviously shocked.
Hari Chagai said: "The corpse in the coffin seems to be a dried corpse for sacrifice, but the corpse for sacrifice seems to be a bit overkill to be filled with that kind of coffin. I think the dried corpses were tied up too tightly, as if to prevent the corpses from mutating. ”
This ancient city, using the eye of the sky, made such a thing as 01 in the war, and it was easy to ask the gods to send the gods afterwards, so they had to use the eye of the sky to suppress 01 and sacrifice the eye of the sky. It didn't seem like a problem, but I always felt like I was missing something.
It quickly occurred to me that what we had overlooked was the cocoons of those people.
Although there are many coffins here, judging from the scale of the sacrifice, these dried corpses are obviously only a part, so where do more corpses go? Could those cocoons be the corpses that had been sacrificed? They were originally used to sacrifice the Eye of Heaven, but in the end, it seems that they were assimilated by 01 instead.
But at this moment, Tianyan has already got his hands on it, and the top priority is to leave this ghost place, and as for what happened before the Silkworm Swallowing Ancient City, it has nothing to do with me. Thinking of this, I pushed the stone door open and stepped into it first.
Almost as soon as we stepped into the stone gate, the originally dark environment suddenly lit up, as if a high-powered lamp was turned on in an instant.
The sudden light was not dazzling, but very soft, and everyone was taken aback and immediately looked around. When I saw this, I immediately felt my heart pounding. As soon as we entered, the light of the flashlight passed through each other, and thousands of pearls shone at the same time, which formed a soft light at the moment.
At this moment, as soon as everyone raised their heads, it was like a starry sky falling, which was really shocking.
In fact, this is not the first time I have seen such a scene, the Chinese people pay attention to the unity of heaven and man, and the starry sky of the universe has infinite attraction and mystery for both modern and ancient people. "Zhuangzi Miscellaneous" records: When Zhuangzi was about to die, his disciples wanted to bury him. Zhuangzi said: "I take heaven and earth as coffins, the sun and the moon as the connecting stones, the stars as the pearls, and all things as the burial." Isn't my burial vessel evil? Why add this! It can be seen that the ancients respected the heavens and the earth.
There are also many examples of making astronomy with pearls in the tombs in the history books, among which the first emperor is the most famous.
I didn't expect that in the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom, such a scene could be seen, which shows that its national strength is strong.
At this moment, the pearl shines, such as the stars falling, the surrounding four walls, but there are stone slabs, arranged and combined in turn, like a huge stone screen, take a closer look, each stone slab, are engraved with words and patterns.
I know that there is no writing in the ancient Shu Kingdom, and most of the archaeological unearthed at present are some symbols, called 'Ancient Shu Symbols', of course, some people believe that this is actually a kind of hieroglyphs that belong to the ancient Shu Kingdom at the same time as the oracle bone inscription, and so far, it has not been deciphered.
And now, these stone slabs are covered with such ancient Shu hieroglyphs, which will definitely cause a sensation if they are discovered by relevant archaeologists. These words, which no one could understand, were quietly engraved on the stone slab, Wen Min's expression was very gloomy, and she said softly: "If she can see this, she will definitely be very happy." "I know that the 'she' in her mouth refers to Team Liu, who is already dead.
In addition to the pearl and the slate, there is also a round, stone-like thing directly in front of us.
It was a very strange thing, I counted it carefully, but it was divided into eight layers, and between each layer, there was a gap of about twenty centimeters, and on each round stone slab, there were many hieroglyphs, some of which were pictures, which was extremely strange. The whole feels like a string of sugar gourds.
In addition, on our right hand side is a wide open stone door, and at the entrance of the stone door, there is also a probe shovel.
Wen Min immediately said: "I remember, I did once open a stone door, but the scene behind the door is different from now, it seems that I came to this place at that time, but I just fell asleep." ”
I said; "What's behind this stone gate?"
Wen Min looked happy and said, "It's the way we came, it seems that we are on the right path this time." ”
While the two of us were discussing, I found that the lazy man was looking at the slate very carefully. My heart moved, and I said, "Can this man understand these words?" Curious, Wen Min and I walked over to the lazy guy and asked.
The lazy man squinted, shook his head, and said, "I can't read these words, but I can see these pictures." "The slate is about two meters long, the upper half is hieroglyphs, the lower half is just a carved drawing, the lines are relatively simple, but very clear.
As soon as he said this, Wen Min and I also carefully looked at the patterns on the slate.
The first stone tablet depicts the sun and the moon.
The second slate is a water pattern.
The third piece is carved with a big belly, eating with grass in his hand, and the person's stomach is still transparent. Seeing this, Wen Min and I both understood that this third picture should record the story of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs.
The sun and moon in front may imply the beginning of the opening of heaven and earth, and the water ripples probably refer to the collapse of the pillars of heaven, the flooding, and the vicissitudes of life.
Could it be that these stone slabs are actually the history recorded by the ancient Shu people?
