Chapter 175: Old Acquaintances
readx;? The ancient city of Xi'an, I've only been here once, and that was the previous mission of the zombies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Infozi Youge OM was on a mission, just like this time, when he was stopped by an archaeological team.
Among the archaeological team, the only thing that impressed me was actually the sister paper named Xia Liyi. Xia Liyi's sister paper immediately hit it off with me with the same neurotic thinking as me, although the contact time is not long, but I still have a good impression of her.
I thought it might be difficult to see each other again in the future, but I didn't expect to meet again so soon.
"Why are you here again?" I looked at Xia Liyi, who was dirty all over her body, digging the cemetery was indeed a not very clean job, Xia Liyi looked like she was rolling in the dirt.
"No way. Xia Liyi stretched out her hands at me: "The place I went to with you before was actually the topic I originally planned to write my thesis, but I didn't expect it to be blown up by you." ā
Xia Liyi should be talking about zombies, so there is no way, if you don't blow up there, I'm going to blow up
"So this is your new subject?" "This girl is unlucky, and it's an ominous tomb.
"No, I'm here to help, and this discovery seems to be very significant, and it may even rewrite history. Xia Liyi longed: "As someone in our line of work, how wonderful it is to be able to see history unfolding in front of you!"
"Really?" I looked at her, "Come on, come on, help me identify the age of this thing." ā
I took out the sword that Master had left behind, with only the hilt. I've actually been speculating about the origin of this sword handle for a long time, but I don't expect Xia Liyi to help me see it, I just want to make a joke with her.
However, this sword hilt still looks quite historical, and the pattern on the hilt is also a relatively simple style.
"I'm an archaeological excavation, not an artifact identification. Xia Li glanced at me and said disdainfully, "Did you buy it from the stall above?"
However, after Xia Liyi took the hilt of the sword, she suddenly stopped talking, but began to carefully examine the patterns on the hilt.
"Your sword hilt" Xia Liyi looked at the pattern on it suspiciously: "It's not like the decorative pattern of any dynasty, but the thing looks quite old, and I don't want to fake it." The style looks like a style commonly used in the Zhou and Shang periods, but if it is really an object from that time, how can it not have a trace of rust?"
Xia Liyi took the hilt of the sword in her hand and tossed it back and forth, then looked at me: "Where did you get it?"
"What my master has passed down is ours, and it is considered an ancestral heirloom. ā
"Ancestral?" Xia Liyi looked at me suspiciously: "Then you don't know the origin of this thing?"
"I know there that I haven't seen anyone since my master threw it to me. "Yes, I only heard him once, and then when I woke up, he was gone again.
"You dug up this burial tomb?" I looked at the burial tomb that was almost finished, "Do you know what this burial tomb is for?"
After all, Xia Liyi also learned this professionally, so she should know these things.
"To be honest, I don't really know what this burial tomb does. Ordinary funerary tombs have their functions, but the things excavated this time are all disorganized, and there are neither funerary goods nor bones. Xia Liyi thought for a while, but there was no answer.
"This excavation, many experts believe that it is possible to rewrite history, which may be an unprecedented discovery. ā
Troublesome, if the contents of the tomb are really made public, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse.
"Captain, I've found out about the missing man. Li Ping's voice suddenly sounded in my head, this is his ability, he can use his own brain waves to probe and talk to people in the air.
"Really?" I spoke to him in the voice of my head, "Where are you now?" and I'll come right away. ā
"Twelve o'clock in the West Point. Li Ping replied.
"Okay, I'll be right here. I responded.
"Xia Liyi, I have to go first, and we will talk again when we have a chance. ā
"Well, walk slowly. ā
In the west corner, where excavation had not yet begun, Li Ping stood there, pressing one finger to the ground and the other hand to his own eyebrows.
Getting the news of Li Ping is a good phenomenon, which shows that the people who went down are still not dead. Li Ping can only sense brain waves, since there are still brain waves, it means that he is not dead!
"Can I talk to the people below?" I asked.
"It can't be done, and the position of the people below is very weird. ā
"What do you mean?"
"Their tracks appear and disappear suddenly, and I've felt them many times, and they disappear all at once. ā
"Are you sure it's Lin Zhao and them?" Could it be that there is some strange creature below, not Lin Zhao?
"Let's put it this way, Captain, I can only sense the brain waves of humans, not animals. Li Ping stood up: "And one thing I can be sure of is that the people below are still very healthy, and their brain waves are not disordered in the slightest." It's like a lost person, running around. ā
Could it be that Lin Zhao and the others were just trapped by something under the tomb? No, what is the reason for the sudden disappearance?
By the way, with so many experts here, will any of them know about the situation under the tomb? If it were a general situation, that would be good news!
"Li Ping, you continue to probe around here and wait for news. "I don't know when I'll be able to go to the grave, but of course, the more information I have, the better.
I'm going to go to the experts and find out what they know to get a general idea.
"Jiang Xiao. "I used the pager that Jiang Shao gave me to contact him, and I was not allowed to use the phone here, and if I wanted a contact, I could only use a pager.
"Mr. Yin, is there any problem?" Jiang Shao immediately responded.
"Can you organize a symposium with the experts? I want to know about the situation under the tomb. ā
"This" Jiang Shao was puzzled: "These experts are all here with their own topics, I guess they won't communicate with each other until they have results, right?"
"Well, let's try to organize, and come as much as you can. ā
"Okay, I'll do my best. Jiang Shao said.
If we can get some useful information in the hands of those experts, maybe we can save a lot of trouble when we go to the grave.
After thinking about it, I still went back to the burial tomb that I met with Xia Liyi before, after all, it was the only place that had been excavated.
However, what I didn't expect was that I met another, no, two acquaintances.
Wu Zhixiang and Wu Zhishang.
The uncle and nephew are actually at this excavation site, and it seems that the people around them respect Wu Zhixiang quite much, no matter what questions they have, they have to ask them, and they dare to act only after Wu Zhixiang agrees or approves.
However, I didn't plan to get up, but walked directly to Xia Liyi, who was half-kneeling on the ground and carefully sweeping the dirt for a stone slab.
"What are you digging for?" I crouched down.
Xia Liyi's movements were very gentle, using a small brush to gently pick up the dirt.
"It's a stone carving, and although I don't know what it depicts, it's a pattern that has never been seen before, and it's not a pictogram. ā
Hieroglyphs are those hieroglyphic patterns.
Xia Liyi changed a tool and used a bamboo stick to gently pick up the soil inside along the traces of the pattern: "It's unbelievable that the ancients could carve such a complex pattern in such a small place." These patterns should be decorative. ā
I looked at the seemingly intricate patterns on the small stone slab, and suddenly felt a little familiar, and then, I stretched out a finger, and the mana of my fingertips leaked slightly, condensing in the void along the patterns on the stone slab.
Sure enough, in the whole pattern, a simple, but flowable circulating mana flow map was formed.
I remembered something, and took out the octagonal taiji around my neck, and took the original talisman on it to correspond to the pattern on the stone slab.
Sure enough, among the eight primordial talismans, there was a rebirth talisman. The last paragraph on the death charm fits perfectly with one of the corners of this pattern!
Is this actually a talisman? Or is it an exclusive talisman left by a rune master!
It's not surprising that such a talisman appears in a tomb, but why would it appear in a burial tomb? And there are no bones in this burial tomb!
That's a bit weird
"Xia Liyi, don't move yet. ā
"What for?"
"Look. I handed her the octagonal taiji: "The last structure of this talisman here is exactly the same as the structure of the right corner on the stone slab." ā
Xia Liyi took over the octagonal gossip.
"Really, Yin Zheng'an, where are you from?"
"It's also passed down by the master, you listen to me first, these eight talismans are the original talismans of our Taoism, that is, the basis of all talismans, no matter how complicated the talismans, they are all out of these eight talismans. ā
"And this way is the death charm. ā
"What do you mean?"
"The rebirth charm is a talisman that uses one's own merits to give the unjust soul who does not want to be liberated, and in short, it is the business card of the person who draws the talisman. The soul that has been exceeded by the death talisman, even in the underworld, must give some face to the person who drew the talisman, so that the soul that has been exceeded can die smoothly. ā
"However, those great evil people are going to hell, and the ordinary rebirth talisman is useless, like the one in front of us, which is drawn by everyone who is a talisman. If I'm not mistaken, what method was used to wash away the sins of the wicked people? ā
"Are you sure this isn't a feudal superstition?"
