Chapter 596: Stone Forest
The local women, hearing their people cheering for themselves, showed more enthusiasm and boldness.
Seeing that she couldn't lag behind the foreigners, Yueli led Mei Lan Zhuju to learn their dance, gathered around Bai Zhong, twisted her waist and danced, and finally even the Asura also participated.
Bai Zhong was not used to it at first, but quickly adapted to them and echoed them.
After dancing for a while, the dance around Bai Zhong was not finished until the local women were exhausted, but the dance of the others continued, and Bai Zhong continued to look at their singing and dancing, and found that something was wrong.
The dancing men and women, almost as good as they were, would take the woman's hand and walk out of the crowd into the night.
He pondered for a moment, and soon understood that this kind of dance, such a show, is still the way the local people choose a mate, mainly because the woman takes the initiative, and the man takes the woman away if he sees it.
As for where it will go?
Presumably to do something indescribable.
The people here are very open-minded.
In fact, in the past, people in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were also very open-minded, and there were similar practices, such as the relevant descriptions in the "Book of Songs".
In ancient times, people have always been very open-minded, but later various special doctrines developed and became more and more restrained.
"They're ......"
Yueli also saw this scene, and finally found out what the purpose of the dance was, and instantly blushed.
Mei Lan Zhuju and Asura's performance at this time was also relatively unnatural, of course, they could see through those men and women, what they would do next.
It was only after the whole dinner was over that Bai Zhong and the others returned to their place of residence.
Kan'er's arrangement was the same as that of the previous minister.
They live in the same house.
With the ambiguity just now as a foreshadowing, Yueli and the others didn't dare to face Bai Zhong, but Bai Zhong didn't take it seriously, and touched the rune pattern on the back of his hand, feeling relatively heavy.
"Let's rest first."
Bai Zhong sat on the side of the room.
There were six of them, on the other side.
But they didn't rest, they just sat down and cultivated.
The next morning.
Bai Zhong had just finished his cultivation state when he heard a knock on the door.
Their vigilance was raised in an instant, and when they pushed open the door, it turned out that Kan'er was here again.
"There's news." Kan'er said excitedly, "I sent someone to investigate, and finally found a place where those runes appeared, which are what you wanted. ”
I don't know if this sentence is true or false.
But it sounds a lot like there's something wrong with it.
Yesterday they started to investigate, and today they found out where it was, but it was too fast, and coupled with their suspicions of Kan'er, maybe there was some trap in it.
Bai Zhong pretended to be surprised and asked, "Where?" ”
"Outside the city, go northeast, there is a stone forest there."
"None of us know when and how the Stone Forest appeared, it existed before we had a city-state."
"Those runes have appeared in the stone forest."
Kanal pointed to the northeast.
Bai Zhong said, "Thank you City Lord, let's go." ”
They went straight out of the city and headed in that direction.
Kanal looked at their backs, thoughtfully, and then smiled maliciously.
After leaving the city, the asura asked, "You can't believe all the words of the city lord. ”
Bai Zhong agreed: "Let's go and see first, the city lord must know something, let's take this opportunity to bring out the problem behind him." ”
The stone forest is more than ten miles away from the city.
They picked up speed and soon came to the place.
The stones here are towering like a forest, and the stone forest lives up to its name.
"This is it?"
Bai Zhong and the others, first looked around for a while, and there was no danger outside.
Yueli asked, "Do you want to go in?" ”
Bai Zhong said: "For the sake of the curse, go in!" But be vigilant, and try to stay with me. ”
Walk into the Stone Forest.
It was calm inside, there was nothing else but stones, layers upon layers of stones, bare surfaces, weathered by wind and rain, sun and rain, and became very smooth.
However, a large amount of snow, covered on the stones, brings a special artistic conception to the stone forest.
They walked in the stone forest, without any special aura around them, as if they were not in danger, but they could not see those runes either.
"Is there so much snow blocking our view?" May said.
There is a possibility.
Bai Zhong waved his hand, and his spiritual power swept wildly, dissipating the snow, revealing the body of the stone forest, and continued to look for the rune pattern, but soon they found the pattern on the tallest stone pillar in the center.
"Here!"
Bamboo was first discovered.
They all walked towards the stone pillar.
The rune, inscribed on the stone pillar, in addition to the rune, there are many words, and the inscription is not like the Mayan, a bit like the oracle bone inscription in the East.
"This is a kind of writing that is even older than the Shang and Zhou dynasties."
Yueli has a certain study of ancient characters.
But they were surprised.
At the other end of the ocean, there is a pre-Shang and Zhou script, which is incredible.
Asura said: "Judging from the traces of the runes on the stone pillars and the degree of erosion, they are as old as those words, not carved recently, that city lord did not lie to us, we should find the right place." ”
"No, it's still a lie."
Bai Zhong narrowed his eyes and analyzed: "He must have bad intentions when he does this, the words here, the local people will definitely not understand, behind the words, there are some secrets they want." ”
Yueli agreed: "The city lord and the others, who can't understand this kind of writing, know that we are from Great Qin, and deliberately lead us to read it in order to get the content and secrets behind the words. ”
"But we don't understand it."
Bai Zhong shrugged helplessly: "The time when the runes are inscribed here may be as old as these words, and the method of unsolving the spell may be related to the words, but if you can't understand it, what can you do?" ”
These are most likely clues to the solution of the spell, but it is not known how the clues are translated.
You can't go back to Daqin and openly recruit a group of people who know how to read ancient characters to come back and study, so it is very likely that it will be too late in time.
"I used to be in the Mo family, and I have read some ancient characters, give me some time to see if I can identify them." Yueli said.
"Good!"
Bai Zhong nodded.
Since Yueli can understand it, that's the best.
However, they have always been vigilant, and even the communication is in the elegant language of Great Qin, so as to avoid any masters eavesdropping nearby.
"The first few words, it's an Oriental, hello ......"
Yueli said slowly.
They immediately turned their heads and looked at the stone pillars.
How did the people who carved the stone pillars know they were coming?
Yueli said again: "The content on the stone pillar is a prophecy, and the person who wrote these words already knew that we would come here, it's amazing!" ”
