Chapter 485: Vast Sacrifice
Bloodstains and bones spread from the sight of the two men forward, seemingly all the way to the inner room.
The cold breath of the forest continued to come with this piece of blood, making the chill in people's hearts roll wave after wave.
Jiang Xian stared at the bloodstains and bones, walked a few steps forward, and came to the corridor leading inside, and immediately saw more blood stains spreading inside.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the blood on the ground.
"The bones are ape's, this direction...... Is it to escape from the inside out? ”
Looking at the direction of the corpse and the direction of the blood stain again, Jiang Xian raised his head and looked at the bright red color on the rock wall above, and his thoughts rotated in his mind.
Leaving the room, there was no visible bloodstain in sight, and no corpses were seen. But judging from the situation of the bloodstains, it is definitely not something that can heal immediately.
Wounded, bleeding, and walking on the road there must be traces, but there is nothing outside, unless......
The trail was cleaned up, or it went back again!
"Mr. Jiang, we looked outside, but we couldn't find another exit." Zhuang Yushan's voice came, and he walked to the door: "And there are no traces of the battle, and there are special murals......"
"I see."
Jiang Xian nodded, without saying anything, he raised his head again and carefully looked at the traces above.
A piece of blood drew a trajectory, the bright red colors overlapped, and the traces of the baptism of the years could no longer be seen.
But he was eighty percent sure in his heart that this was a road that had been worn back and forth, and the blood stains above it were too wide after all.
As he pondered, Lin Ruoxue, Professor Zhao and others also walked over, and when they saw this trace, their faces changed slightly.
"Strange ......" Professor Zhao frowned, looked at the surrounding walls, and then looked at the ground: "According to the situation of this corpse, there should have been a fight here, but there is no trace of a fight." ”
"There's not even blood out there."
"If this is a gladiatorial cage, it would be fine, but the door here is obviously open, do these monsters not know how to run if they are going to be killed?"
He shook his head as he spoke, indicating that he could not understand.
Jiang Xian's expression moved, and his eyes fell on the corpse of the ape crane, it was not that it didn't want to run, but after running, it came back for other reasons.
Running back in such a life-threatening situation...... That is probably the fear that has been deep in their souls.
So......
He turned his head and looked to the door, to the end of the bloodstain above.
There were some messy rocks, not much trimmed, the lines above, the things above, few traces of knife and axe chopping, and more rough compared to the rest of the place. However, Jiang Xian's eyes immediately noticed something different.
He walked over quickly, looked to the sides and left and right, and the long black in his hand flew straight out, hitting directly next to a protruding stone pillar above.
While......
The crisp and melodious voice came out, making everyone's hearts tremble.
Professor Zhao's face changed even more violently: "This voice ...... This is not the sound of stone tools colliding! ”
A little flame burst out of his eyes, and he looked up with great eagerness: "This is ...... This is a poured bronze! They are just inlaid with a stone shell on top! "It sounds like the bell we've heard before." Fang Yunye next to him also immediately accosted.
Similar to it?
Jiang Xian's eyes flashed slightly, and Mao Ziyuan's message appeared in his mind again, "Chu Simiao's vast clouds are cold, and the voice of Shang is crisp and orchestral", if Fang Yunye heard it well, this is Shang Sheng, then ......
With a flick of his wrist, the black long straight jumped upwards again, quickly touching the stone pillars.
In the midst of the percussion, the sound bursts, and the crisp voice of the stone pillar kept changing, constantly changing, and even gradually changed from the original chaos to an inherent rhythm.
"This voice ......"
Professor Zhao's expression changed slightly, he looked at Jiang Xian, and then looked up, his eyes showing expectation.
Click!
A voice sounded suddenly, and a crack appeared in the area where the stone pillar above was located!
With the exit of this crack, the "stone pillars" also trembled slightly, and changed accordingly.
The dust fell, and everyone's footsteps were backwards, only to see which stone pillars were staggered and arranged, and together they built a pattern, an unexpected and reasonable pattern.
"It's ...... Xuanniao? ”
Professor Zhao's words were slightly hesitant, but he quickly became firm: "That's right, this is Xuanniao...... The totem of the Shang Dynasty! ”
"Destiny Xuanniao, descend to give birth to business!"
"But...... In this way, the connection between the Shang Dynasty and this place may be even closer than previously thought. Professor Zhao's face showed a puzzled expression: "The geographical location of the key Shang Dynasty is here...... How is it possible to get in touch? ”
"No...... It doesn't have to be the Shang Dynasty. ”
Jiang Xian opened his mouth, looked at it and said, "Although there are voices of business and Xuanniao, but ...... They weren't the only merchants, but what if they went back to their ancestors? ”
Ancestor?
Professor Zhao was slightly stunned, and then his face changed: "The ancestor of the Shang Dynasty is the deed, and the historical records also recognize the deed as the ancestor of the Yin Shang......"
"But it doesn't apply here."
Jiang Xian slowly spoke, looked at the Xuanniao above and said, "The faith of the Shang Dynasty was originally their ancestor. ”
"Dijun!"
"Emperor!"
Different names blurted out at the same time, pointing to the same character, the supreme god of Yin Shang, one of the legendary Five Emperors. All the literature records today, although it cannot completely prove that the two are the same person, but it is indeed a kind of cognition.
"The supreme god of Yin Shang's sacrifice, the god of creation in the Book of Mountains and Seas...... Even putting aside the myths and counting the more reliable ancient history, the descendants of the emperor are not only in the vein of Qi. ”
Professor Zhao said thoughtfully: "It's normal for a group to wander here. ”
"And you didn't find out, did you?" Jiang Xian's voice came faintly: "Compared to the Xuanniao, the image constructed by these stone pillars is more like another animal......
Another animal?
The faces of several people moved, and the angle of looking at the stone pillar changed, and Zhuang Yushan's eyes suddenly condensed: "This is ...... Three-legged black? ”
"That's right, the three-legged black ......" Jiang Xian nodded: "The legendary son of Emperor Jun on the ten days is the Golden Crow, and the colossal statue of Emperor Jun in the underground palace of the First Emperor also has the characteristics of a three-legged black......
"The image here is more like an evolution from the image of the Golden Crow."
The face of the Chinese man showed a sudden look, but Professor Zhao's face changed again and again, he looked at the three-legged black pattern above and took a deep breath, he turned his head, looked at Jiang Xian and said, "Mr. Jiang, if this is really the case, then ......"
"This is also a sacrificial site?"
Jiang Xian nodded silently, building pictures in his mind.
Xuanwu Altar, Qinglong Altar, and Altar of Oil Depot...... Ring after ring, piece after piece, these altars are in different positions, and they are connected to each other. The shrouded area has long since exceeded the traditional sacrificial area.
"Such a vast sacrificial site......"
He exhaled deeply, then looked up, thinking of the peculiarities of each sacrificial place.
Xuanwu's Inner Dan, Qinglong's corpse, what should be here?
His gaze swept over carefully, his eyes suddenly froze, and he handed Ling Xiaozi to Fang Yunye next to him, flipped his wrist, held the nail gun in his hand, and pulled the trigger towards the place above.
Bang!
The nail gun collided with the rock, making a sound of gold and iron, a string of firelight flashed, and a dent appeared at the "rock" above, and cracks were also revealed in the stone shell next to it.
Jiang Xian's hand was very fast, and the nail gun and the exquisite dice were shot upwards one after another, and in a short moment, the continuous sound was endless, and before everyone could come back to their senses, they heard a crisp sound sounding above.
Click!
With this sound, the center of the separated stone pillar slowly opened, and the gaps were exposed, only a bronze altar was seen slowly falling from above.
Above the altar, a faint pale blue light lingered, and it was not until it fell to the ground that everyone could see clearly.
However, just at a glance, Professor Zhao, the Zhuang brothers and sisters and others covered their chests together, and they couldn't help but take half a step back, and on their foreheads, layers of fine beads of sweat rushed up, and their whole bodies were trembling.
Fear and trembling were born out of thin air, their bodies were uncontrollable at this moment, and even their heartbeats became a luxury.
"Wake up!"
A low exhalation sounded from the ears of several people like thunder, and everyone looked stunned, and the sense of powerlessness and fear suddenly receded like a tide.
Professor Zhao staggered to his feet, looked down at the intricate patterns on the altar, and didn't dare to raise his head to look up.
Not only him, but Lin Ruoxue, the Zhuang brothers and sisters, and Fang Yunye are all like this.
For a moment, the suffocating sensation that no one wants to experience a second time.
"Sacrifice...... Altar ......" Professor Zhao's breathing gradually stabilized, and his eyes flashed with excitement: "I knew that the sacrifices in ancient times would not be so simple, they would not be so ordinary...... Their sacrificial rituals and rituals also have their own reasons! ”
"Mr. Jiang, there is no trace of a battle outside, I'm afraid it's because of this altar, right?"
Zhuang Yushan spoke, he didn't dare to look up, the Gu worm he domesticated was still trembling and fearful at this time.
Jiang Xian looked at the glossy utensils, which resembled a pen holder, with a square outside and a round inside, and nodded slowly: "I'm afraid that's the case." ”
"However, I didn't expect that the ritual utensils here would be a piece of cong."
Cong?
Professor Zhao was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Jiang, is it really Cong?" ”
"It is indeed Cong, the inner circle and the outer square, similar to a pen holder, although the external pattern is complicated, but the overall construction is exactly the same as the jade Cong unearthed from each one."
Jiang Xian's voice came into their ears: "It's really unexpected. ”
