Chapter 314: The Identity of the Dry Corpse

Tortoise shells engraved with oracle bones are not rare, because tortoise shells can be stored for a long time and are not so easy to damage, so there are still many tortoise shells engraved with oracle bones that have been handed down. Otherwise, those ancients would not have chosen to engrave words on the tortoise shell, they just took a fancy to the fact that the tortoise shell is relatively solid.

The value of the tortoise shell engraved with the oracle bone inscription is determined by the number of characters engraved on the tortoise shell, the completeness of the tortoise shell, and the clarity of the oracle bone inscription on the tortoise shell. The more words on a piece of tortoiseshell, the better it is preserved, and the clearer the oracle bone text, the higher the value of this oracle bone.

At this time, the tortoise shell in Chen Ziyang's hand was engraved with more than a dozen oracle bone inscriptions, which should be of great value. However, Chen Ziyang was not in the mood to calculate the value of this oracle bone now, because he saw a familiar pattern on this tortoise shell.

A small figure with a pointed head stood there with his arms outstretched and legs spread out, and at the same time there was a circle on the upper right side of the figure, and there was a small dot in the center of the head and the circle, which was the same pattern on the stone slab he had found at the doorway here.

Now it's good, the analysis comes and goes, and the analysis comes back. According to Chen Ziyang's knowledge, although oracle bone inscriptions appeared before the Shang Dynasty, most of the tortoise shells engraved with oracle bone inscriptions found so far are left over from the Yin Shang period. And when Wang Lele looked up the meaning of this pattern before, he once said that this pattern represented a divine bird called Xuanniao in the Yin Shang period.

What do these oracles mean? Is it just a random depiction, or can the oracle bone inscriptions on this tortoise shell be connected together, representing a story and expressing a complete meaning?

I don't know if Liu Cong and the others know the oracle bone inscription, it should be unlikely, there are more than 4,000 types of oracle bone inscriptions found so far, and only more than 2,800 characters have been translated among the 4,000.

There are very few people who know oracle bone inscriptions, and only half of the text has been translated, so it is basically impossible to know the meaning of these oracle bone inscriptions engraved on this tortoise shell now, but Chen Ziyang still did not give up, thinking about waiting for a while and asking them to help take a look after Liu Cong and them came over.

Looking carefully at the tortoise shell in his hand, Chen Ziyang found a strange place. There are more than a dozen oracle bone inscriptions engraved on the whole tortoise shell, and the words of these oracle bones are arranged at random, one in the east and one in the west, and there is no rule to follow.

But the place where the oracle bone inscription that represents the Xuanniao, or the black general, is particularly clean. Compared with other oracle bone inscriptions, the oracle bone underneath this symbol is lighter in color and smoother to the touch, as if many people have been touching the text or have been pointing at it.

After carefully reading the more than a dozen oracle bone inscriptions, Chen Ziyang found that this phenomenon did not appear near the other characters. It seems that this should indeed be the case, and the person who held the tortoiseshell before was just like himself, and only cared about this symbol. It's no wonder that I noticed this symbol when I first got this tortoise shell, because the color near this symbol is more conspicuous.

After putting this tortoise shell into the pocket on their body, Chen Ziyang and Umbrella Shishuai looked through the pockets of the dry corpse's camouflage uniform, hoping to find some other clues.

There were several pockets on the corpse's body, but they all looked very shriveled, and even if they contained things, there should be nothing too bulky. The two of them searched the pockets of the dried corpse separately, and as expected, the pockets on the corpse were empty, except for the umbrella Shi Shuai who took out a small palm-sized notebook from the camouflage pocket on the chest of the corpse.

This book is very thin.,It's full of black dust.,Umbrella Shishuai opened this small book.,The paper in the book has all turned black.,And it's very dry.,It's also very brittle.。 After Umbrella Shishuai opened the notebook, all the black papers inside were broken into small pieces and fell to the ground.

The paper also completely lost its moisture, and Chen Ziyang looked at the black paper fragments, and suddenly thought of the withered yellow grass outside the Ghost Howling Slope now. The two are so similar except for the color, but then Umbrella Shishuai found some clues in this small book.

He wiped the cover on this small book with his hand, and wiped off a lot of black dust, probably due to different materials, this cover is still relatively well preserved. After the black dust was wiped off, five words were faintly revealed on the small notebook, and after carefully identifying them by the light of the flashlight, the two people recognized these five words as "press card".

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both remembered something Ness had said earlier. A few years ago, a team of several people with two whole ox carts and equipment had Nice be the guide to send them to Ghost Howling Slope, saying that they wanted to investigate some supernatural things and see why Ghost Howling Slope made strange noises.

But then the team vanished, and Ness thought they had found someone else to lead the way out of the prairie. However, in the months that followed, Nice did not see any mention of Howling Slope on any of the television channels.

Bait and switch. This team is not supposed to be the news team of any TV station, they should have come here to rob the tomb in the name of interviews.

That's right! It's all right at once. Recalling the previous inverted triangle robbery hole and the fragments of the stones in front of the tomb door, Chen Ziyang estimated that the robbery hole should have been dug by these people.

The two of them quickly searched the neighborhood again, this time the two of them expanded the scope of the search, but they did not dare to go far in order not to get lost in the black steps.

There was nothing but steps within ten meters of the corpse, and no other bodies of the so-called investigative team were found. It seems that he should be the only one who died in the vicinity.

Looking at the miserable appearance of this dried corpse, Chen Ziyang was a little troubled. Previously, they judged from the gravel of the cave and the tomb that this tomb robbing team had at least three masters, one master of digging holes, one master of blasting and one master of dragon finding, and the strength of this team was not much worse than their team.

But the dry corpse in front of him reminded Chen Ziyang that although nothing has happened so far, it should be very dangerous here, otherwise this person would not have died here. I don't know what horrors await them ahead.

So Chen Ziyang decided not to act rashly, just stay here, and wait until Liu Cong and the others come over to converge before moving forward. But at this time, Chen Ziyang felt the danger that was suddenly coming.
