Yan Tianxin sighed and said, "Why are you so cruel to bury a living person?"

Luo Lie shook his head slowly, he couldn't explain it, although there were many precedents in history of using living people for burial, but it was the first time he had seen it frozen in this way. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Tianxin could hardly bear to look at it anymore.

Luo Lie said: "Look at the folds of their clothes, and the parts that are blown up by the wind, I don't know how to maintain such a posture?" He raised the lighter and leaned on the back of the hand of one of the generals: "It is indeed a person who is frozen in it! You see, the hairs and pores on the back of the hands are clearly visible." ”

Yan Tianxin carefully observed under his reminder, and sure enough, he secretly praised Luo Hunt's meticulous observation in his heart. At the same time, her heart also became extremely heavy, after all, the ancient tomb here belonged to her ancestors, and she couldn't imagine that the ancestors were so cruel and used living people to bury.

The two of them walked forward from the middle of the Shinto, and after walking a few steps, they found that there were a lot of white bones scattered on the ground, and there were also some copper coins, Luo Lie bent down to pick up one of them, his fingers touched the copper coins, and the copper coins did not move, it turned out that the copper coins had been solidified on the ice rock for a long time. Looking closer, the copper coin was a god book ingot, the same as the one worn by the sparrow, Luo Lie couldn't help but think, did Ma Boxuan and Luo Xingmu also come here back then?

Luo Lie looked for it by the light, there were about 100 copper coins scattered on the ice, the front and back were different, but there was no inscription engraved on the back, in fact, this is normal, the reason why Ma Boxuan chose the copper coin to take back was because the copper coin was different, of course, it was not excluded that he would engrave the word Liuque on it after he picked up the copper coin.

Walking through the passage in the middle of the Wenchen military generals, there is a staircase carved with Xuan Ice in front of you, carved railings on both sides, exquisite craftsmanship, grand spirit, looking up, you can see that there is an extraordinary crystal temple at the end of the ice steps, and the temple seems to be built with Xuan Bing.

Yan Tianxin grew up in Tianmai Mountain since she was a child, except for the time when she was five years old, she accidentally fell into the thief cave and entered the tomb of King Tianpeng, and never entered the interior of Tianmai Mountain, although she knew that there were many unknown secrets hidden under Tianmai Mountain, but her childhood experience always haunted her like a nightmare, not to mention the shackles of ancestral training, if it weren't for this accident, maybe she would never have the idea of entering the hinterland of Tianmai Mountain to explore.

The compass stopped turning at this point and pointed straight at the main hall.

Yan Tianxin's eyes were full of inquiry, obviously looking forward to Luo Lie's choice, in fact, she had already guessed Luo Lie's decision, with her understanding of Luo Lie, he would inevitably choose to go to the Ice Palace to find out.

Luo Lie said: "If you want to be poor, go to the next level!"

Yan Tianxin smiled slightly: "Stand tall and see far, maybe we can find a way out when we go to it." ”

The Ice Palace was already in sight, but it took them half an hour to really come to the gate of the Ice Palace, the stairs were close to sixty degrees, steep upward, and there was no platform for rest and adjustment in the middle, the current physical strength of the two of them was in a state of overdraft, and Yan Tianxin was also injured, walking and stopping, and when they came to the gate, they were already pale from exhaustion and sweating. Leaning on Luo Lie's shoulder and resting for a while, before he regained some strength, Luo Lie said with concern: "It's better for me to carry you!"

Yan Tianxin shook his head: "I'm not old enough yet. ”

Luo Lie smiled: "Then I'll carry you on your back when you're old!"

Yan Tian's pretty face was hot, but an indescribable warmth emerged in Fang's heart, this warm feeling was like a spring breeze blowing through the nerves and veins around her, making the pain in her body no longer so obvious, and she whispered: "I don't know who can't walk when the time comes." ”

Luo Lie looked at Yan Tianxin's delicate and flawless face, and his heart couldn't help but waver, but then a pair of eyes full of sadness appeared in his mind, and as if he had been pierced by a steel needle in his heart, he frowned and turned his gaze to the side.

Yan Tianxin also felt a little embarrassed after saying that, his long black eyelashes drooped down, and he looked at his toes. It was the first time in her life that she had behaved so awkwardly in front of a man.

In front of the main hall of the Ice Palace, there are two huge ice sculpture beasts, the body is like a tiger, the head is like a dragon, the horns are bent, the limbs are thick, the ribs are winged, the feet and claws are sharp, the tail is thick and powerful, the head is high, the mouth is square, and a pair of eyes are slanted at the front at an angle of 45 degrees, showing the domineering style of the world.

Luo Lie recognized at a glance that these two ice sculptures were to ward off evil spirits, and evil spirits were usually placed in front of the door of the tomb as a tomb beast, so it could also be judged that an important person was likely buried in the ice palace.

Yan Tianxin said: "It looks like the lizard just now." ”

Luo Liejing was reminded by her and suddenly realized, yes, these two evil spirits look very similar to the lizards they encountered in the hot spring river just now, the biggest difference is that the lizards don't seem to have wings under their ribs, maybe the ancients imagined that when they were thinking about the evil spirits, they were created on the basis of the lizard. Or maybe the lizards in ancient times originally had wings, and later some of their physiological functions deteriorated due to adaptation to the environment over a long period of time.

There are four big characters engraved on the plaque above the Ice Palace, although Luo Lie is well-informed and knows Xia Wen, he does not recognize what these four characters are written, because these four characters are neither Chinese characters nor Xia Wen.

Yan Tianxin whispered: "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang!" It turns out that these four characters are Jurchen characters, the Jurchens are the ancestors of the Manchus, although they have their own language at the earliest, but they do not have their own writing, and they have been borrowing Khitan characters. After Yan Xiyin was ordered to create Jurchen characters in accordance with the Han script, due to the Khitan system, combined with the Chinese dialect, this Jurchen character is known as Jurchen Dazi in history, after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the scope of use of this script gradually narrowed, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jurchen characters were almost extinct. As for the descendants of the Jurchens, the Manchus have adopted the Mongolian script, and later Nurhachi re-established the script, ordering Erdeni and Kagai to complete the two Wenchen at this time, and finally completed the creation and promulgation of the Manchu script, and later improved several times, forming the common script of the Qing Dynasty, but with the passage of time, the Qing Dynasty's national strength gradually weakened, and at the same time, the Manchu accepted the Han culture more and more deeply, and the application of the Manchu language was also getting worse, after the Xinhai Revolution, the Manchu Dynasty perished, and the Manchu language also accelerated its withdrawal from the historical stage.

Although Luo Lie is proficient in Manchu and Han languages, but he doesn't know anything about this kind of Jurchen characters that can be called antiques, Yan Tianxin's real name is Wan Yan Tianxin, she is a surviving tribe when the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols, because her ancestors chose to occupy the mountain as the king in the Tianmai Mountain of the Pale Mountain, almost cut off from the outside world, and it is because of this that part of the culture of the Jurchen tribe in the past can be preserved, including the Jurchen characters that have been considered extinct.

In a sense, Xia Wen's dynastic loss and Jurchen characters also have the same experience, throughout Chinese history, every time there is a change of dynasties, it is not uncommon to deny the predecessors and destroy the culture of the sages, the most famous should be Qin Shi Huang's book burning and pit Confucianism, Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart that perhaps the decline and disappearance of Xia Wen is also related to this historical event.

Standing in front of the gate of the Ice Palace, looking down, but seeing that the stairs behind him were steep and steep, stretching to the bottom, the beginning was hidden in the ice cave, condescending, unobstructed, it could be concluded that there were no pursuers in the rear to catch up, Luo Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if they could temporarily get rid of Luo Xingmu and Yan Kuohai, it would be a good thing for them.

Yan Tianxin's heart has not been calm for a moment, since her grandfather appeared, her heart has become chaotic, although she knows that her grandfather is delirious, but she still can't help but worry about his safety.

Luo Lie guessed her thoughts, and comforted softly: "Don't worry, it should be Luo Xingmu who loses." "The two sides of the war are outnumbered, Luo Xingmu is alone, the ape and the blood wolf are not at the scene, he has no possibility of winning, and it is not necessarily unknown whether he can retreat from the encirclement with his whole body.

Yan Tianxin nodded, with their current situation, they really couldn't take care of other things, and their beautiful eyes glanced at the ice palace again and said, "Can't we get in?"

Luo Lie raised the compass in his hand, the pointer had stopped rotating, pointing forward persistently, and he said in a deep voice: "Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, I want to see what kind of world is hidden in this ice palace." ”
