Chapter 162: The Mysterious Symbol Reappears
As we walked into the tree trunks, I suddenly felt a desolate and majestic aura blowing over me, and other than that, it seemed to me to have a strange sense of familiarity.
I reached out and touched the trunks, their surfaces were a little smooth, probably brushed with a layer of paint on the outside, which seemed to be some antiseptic treatment as Wen Mo was referring to. There are also some patterns carved on the trunk of the tree, which looks very peculiar.
The pattern is red, I don't know what material was used, and after all these years, it still looks very bright. Suddenly, I remembered the blood in the blood drain and quickly took my hand back.
I walked back and forth between the trunks, but I couldn't find any doorways. However, there are a few of them that are particularly thick, especially the middle one, and the symbols on them are also extraordinarily dense, and it seems that they should be the key points of this arrangement.
Looking at the symbols on these tree trunks, I suddenly remembered the strange turtle-like pattern I had seen before, this pattern started from the ancient kingdom of Shan Huan, and would appear from time to time along the way, on the stone tablet left by Xu Fu, we found traces of a symbol, and on the inside of the bronze coffin that Anado's father accidentally discovered, this symbol was also found.
In particular, the discovery inside the bronze coffin is powerful, which shows that there is some kind of connection between that symbol and the ancient ancestors here. But I didn't expect that in the core area of this ruins, I didn't see that symbol again, which surprised and puzzled me, is this mysterious symbol not as important as we imagined?
I turned my head and asked the second uncle what the symbol on the trunk meant, and the second uncle shook his head gently, it seemed that he didn't know either. However, he still frowned slightly and looked at the trunks and thought, obviously not completely clueless.
In addition to the second uncle, Wen Mo and Yuan An also seem to have ideas. Wen Mo stood under the thickest trunk in the middle, constantly looking around. Yuan An, on the other hand, was squatting on the ground and drawing something with a dagger on the ground, and I walked over to take a look, only to find that he was recreating the top view of the tree trunks arranged.
Yuan An drew a circle on the thickest trunk in the middle, and the rest of the places were represented by large or small dots. At first glance, it felt a little familiar, but when I looked closely, I couldn't help but gasp, this floor plan is clearly that mysterious symbol! It's just that the three-dimensional representation of it with the trunk of the tree here is not even visible to me for a while.
My heart shook, this symbol really appeared, it seems that its implied meaning is absolutely extraordinary, I wanted to ask Yuan An the meaning of this symbol, but when the words came to my mouth, I still held back. One of the most important things I learned during this time is that people in the rivers and lakes, especially in the inverted fighting circle, are not people who are extremely trusted, so don't hand over everything in your heart.
I secretly kept the floor plan marked by Yuan An firmly in my mind, and I decided that after I went out, I would definitely talk to my second uncle about this matter.
Leaving Yuan An, I was a little at a loss, looking left and right with a blank face, and finally shook my head and smiled self-deprecatingly, the distance between myself and these senior soil rakes was still too big.
There was silence around me, and there seemed to be no danger, so I walked myself through the trunk of the tree standing on the ground, and walked to the back.
I saw a flashlight flashing not far ahead, and by the light, I saw that the person was Lantern Festival, and it seemed that he was still looking for Tang Jian'an's traces, so I also walked over.
Just after walking a few steps, the Lantern Festival in front of him suddenly stopped. I walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, but I didn't expect Lantern Festival to be scared.
Lantern Xiao turned his head to see that it was me, and immediately said angrily: "Damn!" Why do you walk silently! Scare me! ”
I looked at Lantern Xiao and smiled, "What, you kid is scared alone?" ”
"No," Lantern Xiao turned her head and looked fixedly ahead, "But, because ......" Yuan Xiao stopped halfway through speaking, and then suddenly squinted her eyes and tried to look at something.
I was curious, so I turned my head and raised my flashlight to look ahead, and at this glance, my eyes immediately widened, and I saw that there was something not far in front of us.
This thing has a flat shape, and I wonder if it could be a bronze tripod. But it doesn't look very similar, first of all, if it's a tripod, its bottom foot is a little strange, and this tripod doesn't have a tripod ear. Could it be that the Ding was like this back then? However, I think this thing is more like a drum.
I opened my mouth and asked, "Hey, Lantern Festival, what the hell is that?" Is it a noodle drum? But Lantern Xiao didn't say anything at all, I turned my head curiously and found that Lantern Xiao's face showed a frightened look.
I can't help but be a little puzzled, it's just a thing that looks like a tripod and a drum, even if it's something else, Lantern Festival won't be scared like this by a dead thing.
I nudged him, "Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?" Isn't it just a big drum when it's stimulated? ”
Lantern Xiao seemed to be a little distracted, hesitated for a while, and then turned to me and said, "Who told you to look at that, you look at the back of that thing!" ”
I was slightly stunned, just now I was really attracted by the things in front of me, and I didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation, after Lantern Xiao said this, I immediately concentrated and took two steps forward. This time I looked back through the position of the drum. Behind the drum I saw was the end of the space, where a huge stone wall stood and towered into the darkness above.
I blinked my dry eyes, and sure enough, I saw an outline on the stone wall behind the drum. And when I looked at it again, I immediately felt a numb scalp, and there was clearly a person standing there against the stone wall.
The man was very tall, almost more than two meters tall. I try to remember that of all the people who came here, there was not a single person who was this size. So who is he, I subconsciously shuddered, and took two steps back to the side of the Lantern Festival.
At this time, other people also came over, and the second uncle saw us and asked, "What's wrong with you two?" What are you doing here? ”
I raised my hand and pointed forward, "Well, there's a man!" ”
The others immediately became nervous when they heard this. Everyone shone their flashlights together, and the front was immediately much brighter than before, and the situation on the other side became clearer. I saw that there was indeed a big drum placed there, and a man was standing behind the big drum against the stone wall. However, this time we also saw that the man was already dead, leaning against the stone wall and standing there was only a shriveled corpse, but it also had a pair of horns on its head.
In fact, we have seen a lot of these bones before, so this time I was not too surprised, but what made me incomprehensible was that after I saw this person, I actually had a sense of déjà vu. I think I'm ordinary, such a cow man, and a veritable cow man, how could I have seen it!! Not in my dreams!
Seeing this scene, Lantern Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hey, it's really a false alarm, should we go over and have a look?" As he spoke, he stepped forward.
Wen Mo next to him grabbed Lantern Xiao as soon as he grabbed it, "Don't move, something is wrong with this corpse!" ”
Although Lantern Festival's nerves are sometimes very big, and they often go in and out of the left ear and out of the right ear when it comes to others, Lantern Festival still attaches great importance to Wenmo's words. Hearing him say this, Lantern Xiao immediately asked, "Something is wrong, why do you say that?" ”
Wen Mo said in a deep voice: "Didn't you notice, all the dead corpses here have turned into white bones, but this one is a dried corpse!" ”
"This," Lan Xiao groaned slightly, and then said seriously: "Is this still a master of Taoism......" Before Lan Xiao finished speaking, Wen Mo had already thrown his hands and walked to the side. Lantern Xiao hurriedly said: "Hey, hey! I'm talking about it! ”
I glared at him helplessly, "I can't forget the at any time!" You're heartless! After saying that, he was going to turn around and leave.
Lantern Xiao scratched her head innocently, "Hey, Zhuo Ran...... No way! Dasha X Stop!! ”
I was furious and immediately turned around, "Hey, who are you scolding!" Sick!! ”
Lantern Xiao waved his hand at me, and then looked ahead with an anxious face, "No, no, yes, that, ...... over there" I didn't expect Lantern Xiao to show extreme nervousness at this time, and even a little incoherent.
I turned my head to follow his gaze, and suddenly shouted, "Damn! Dasha X Stop!! ”
It turned out that he didn't know when, Tang Jian'an had already walked near the big drum in front. Lantern Xiao patted his head one by one in annoyance, "Forget him!" When did you run there! ”
This sudden unexpected situation caught us off guard, and everyone became nervous all at once, and we shouted, "Stop! "Don't move!!" While rushing in the direction of the drum.
But we are still far from the location of the big drum and the dried corpse, and Tang Jian'an is a stone's throw away from there!
However, Tang Jian'an was not affected by our shouting, but walked directly to the side of the big drum in a daze.
Seeing this scene, our hearts immediately rose to our throats, and my heart secretly prayed, "Don't cause trouble!" Don't get into trouble! Don't TM cause trouble!! ”
But it backfired, Tang Jian'an turned his head and smirked at us, and suddenly raised his fist at the big drum!
"Not good!" The second uncle couldn't help shouting, everyone immediately stopped, everyone looked at Tang Jian'an nervously, basically no one spoke in the whole scene, only Lantern Xiao was still tempting, "Jian'an, don't move, you come back now, I'll take you home!" ”
