Chapter 622: Ruins Stone Carvings
A series of questions flashed through my mind, and I did not rush to search for evidence that this was once the residence of cultivators.
Because now the three of us are facing a very serious problem, which is that the food is running out.
This time, after coming out of Beijing, we prepared enough food for several months.
But now there is one more uncertain factor, that is, the larvae of the dung beetle that are evolving.
This little thing is now ingesting a noticeably more food, eating 90 percent of our rations for several months.
We still have to solve the food problem in front of us, and we can store our physical strength enough to leave Kunlun Mountain.
Since my grandfather asked me to come here, there must be something different here.
Now it can be roughly concluded that this relic is obviously left by ancient cultivators.
It's just that no clues have been found, and Lei Zi and Lone Wolf are getting up early to prepare something to eat.
And I wandered around this old ruin, trying to find some information.
This relic is obviously what Grandpa said, left by those ancient cultivators.
It's just that this place is hidden in the depths of Kunlun Mountain, and there are traces left around, at least for thousands of years.
With my humble knowledge, I can't tell what sect this was or what kind of great abode it was.
After eating something with Thunder and the lone wolf, I walked around the ruins for two hours and found nothing.
There are stone walls everywhere here, and if it is a sect ruins, then eighty percent of them are carved on the stone walls with some cultivation methods.
It's just that I really can't see any carvings on these stone walls, maybe I didn't notice it.
I stood in front of this stone wall, carefully observing it with the Blood Demon Pupil Technique, and suddenly a detail came to my attention.
This stone wall is different from the others, there is obviously much less moss on it, and it is .......
When I saw the moss, I suddenly thought to myself: Could it be that there are so many years here that if anything, it is covered in moss?
He called out to the lone wolf, asked him for a dagger that he always placed on the outside of his thigh, and walked towards the moss.
Finding a suitable position, I climbed onto the mossy stone wall and carefully began to scrape the moss with a dagger.
Under the astonished gaze of the lone wolf and the thunderbolt, I carefully scraped off the moss from the stone wall like an archaeologist.
I could even hear their nervous breathing, as if waiting for me to discover some great secret.
It took me about a quarter of an hour to scrape off a one-meter-sized piece of moss.
Under the moss, a different stone wall was exposed, and a lone wolf standing not far behind me felt for a flashlight.
I shone my flashlight at the stone wall, and faintly, I saw something carved into the stone wall.
With an excited heart and trembling hands, I saw some patterns carved on the stone wall for a while.
It's just that these patterns are very quaint, and I don't know if it's because of their age, these patterns look very stiff.
I looked at the patterns carefully, and after identifying them, I finally saw that these were not patterns, but hieroglyphs.
But the strange thing is that although these carvings are blurry, they can clearly feel a kind of antiquity and vicissitudes.
The Chinese characters I know have been passed down from my ancestors, but I have never seen them.
I beckoned Lei Zi and Lone Wolf to come over, and when they saw these words, they were all at a loss.
However, we can all feel that these words that are hidden by moss must have great significance.
I stared at the stone inscriptions, trying to think about the time when I had studied antiques with my father.
I found that these vague characters are very similar to the small seal font, but there are slight differences.
At this time, Lei Zi looked at the words on the wall, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Lin, you said these things, could they be ancient cultivation techniques?" ”
"Maybe we have to find some ancient materials and analyze them to understand the text?"
I nodded, and I thought that this was very possible, after all, these problems looked very special.
It's just that the three of us are now in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, and it is not easy to find information.
Looking at the words on the stone wall, I secretly made up my mind that no matter what, I must solve this secret.
I'm going to find out what's hidden here, and why my grandfather knew about it.
Did he come here before? What ancient secrets have you searched for here?
Lone Wolf suddenly said: "Actually, we can take pictures of these words, and then find some people who know ancient characters to help us read them." ”
I nodded, it's a good idea, but ......
Found a fatal problem, this time it has been more than a month since I went out.
I didn't have a camera at all, so how could I have something to shoot?
Moreover, the handwriting on the stone wall of this monument is not very clear and somewhat blurry.
Even if you do have a camera to take pictures, you may not be able to leave the text on it clearly.
Standing firm against the stone wall, I turned around and looked around, and found a lot of mossy spots.
Suddenly, a thought popped into my mind: Could it be that there are stone carvings left under these mosses?
He bowed his head to Lei Zi and the lone wolf and said, "Lei Zi, lone wolf, you go and see other moss, maybe there are stone carvings underneath"
The two looked at each other, and Lei Zi nodded, and followed the lone wolf to the two mossy stone walls.
Soon, both Lei Zi and Lone Wolf also began to clean up the other moss, but they were also cautious, for fear that there were stone carvings underneath and would be vigorously damaged.
After about a few minutes, Lei Zi suddenly exclaimed: "Xiao Lin, as you guessed, there is something on the stone wall on my side."
"But these are not ancient texts, but some ancient stone carvings."
As soon as Lei Zi's words fell, the lone wolf continued: "I also have it here, and it is still a stone carving picture." ”
It seems that I guessed correctly, all the places covered with moss were found all over the monument.
At the moment, a large part of the place is covered with moss, and at the rate of our cleanup.
It will take at least half a month to completely remove all the moss, which seems to be a heavy task.
With this kind of delicate work, I didn't dare to release the four zombie kings to help, so I had to do it myself.
"Leizi, lone wolf, it seems that some of us are busy, get rid of all the moss."
"Good"
"Got it"
The two of them echoed and began to concentrate on cleaning up the slippery moss.
Now what I want to do is to copy all these words, and then go out and compare them with historical materials to see what they mean.
I took out the notebook and pencil in the Eight Treasures Ruyi Bag, and I copied them more seriously than ever before.
At this moment, like a private school apprentice, I left lines of writing on this stone wall.
About two hours have passed, and I have copied all the words on the stone wall, a dozen pages.
My heart sank, just such a small area, a dozen pages of paper were wasted.
If all the moss underneath this monument were to be copied, wouldn't it be a lot?
It seems that I can only copy as much as I want, after we leave this time.
Once you have prepared enough supplies, come here again, and then copy again.
Even when I went back this time, I quickly told Brother Pan Zi to prepare a camera for me.
In getting more rubbing paper that can only be used by the archaeological team, it is definitely more convenient to use graphite rubbing.
This kind of thing, which is very common in the archaeological world, is not too difficult to get, the main thing is that it does not need to be difficult.
Finally, after another half an hour, after repeated confirmation, I was relieved to find that I had no problem copying.
Wipe the sweat from your forehead with your hands, and look at Leizi and Lone Wolf who are still cleaning moss in other directions.
Fortunately, there are now Lei Zi and Lone Wolf with them, otherwise they would have just dealt with the moss.
I can't finish it alone, Lei Zi and Lone Wolf when I transcribe the copying text.
An area of more than two meters in length has been cleared, revealing the supposedly carved stone drawings underneath.
I looked closely at the pictures that Lei Zi had cleaned up, and it seemed to be a continuous picture.
Each one tells a story, but one thing is for sure, it's an old story.
