Hu Bayi muttered: "This topographic map depicts the characteristics of each direction, and also marks the end point of each route. According to the instructions on the topographic map, all of these terrains should be dangerous. ”

Song Xing was even keenly aware that on this map, there was a line of mysterious symbols that looked quite ancient.

"These are the ancient runes in the underground palace of the Fire Extinguishing Country, an ancient text that has been lost." Professor Sun explained.

The ancient characters of the Fire Suppression Kingdom came from the Yellow River Valley in the Central Plains, parallel to the "Jiagu Script" of the Yin Shang period, and it is speculated that it was produced at least in the Xia Dynasty of the three ancient dynasties of "Xia, Shang and Zhou", or even earlier, so archaeologists named it "Xia Dynasty Dragon Seal".

Dragons refer to these alien symbols, which approximate "beasts, birds, turtles, dragons, yin and yang, flying and falling". Seals refer to imprints, logos, and symbols.

The dragon seal of the Xia Dynasty is extremely rare, and its writing is far away, accessible to the netherworld, and it is hardly like a human language, so after the Song Dynasty, there is almost no trace of it in the world, and no one understands the mystery.

In modern times, the green tomb looked for the true body of the ancient god and began to dig the underground tomb frantically, only to inadvertently excavate the ruins of the fire extinguishing country in Shennongjia and found this ancient text.

After the research of the Green Grave Organization, it was found that the rock mountain where the site of the fire extinguishing country was the "poor palace" contained in the ancient geographical books of the pre-Qin Dynasty.

The poor are exhausted, and the palace is a cave house, which means a cave located in the deepest part of the ground.

The fire extinguishing clan is like a candle torch, moving like a snake, looking like a ghost, wearing black water, living in a poor place, not knowing the nature of fire, the green tomb has spent countless efforts to decipher the text of the stone tablet of the fire extinguishing country, and found that it records the sentences such as "there are stones in the poor land, and the sea is under the stones".

The Green Tomb speculates that the Fire Extinguishing Country should be a branch of the ancient civilization of the "Xia Dynasty Dragon Seal", which died out due to sea flooding, and its true origin is impossible to verify.

The "Dragon Seal" symbol engraved in the secret room of the Fire Fighting Country's underground palace records a secret about the "underground passage", at the end of which is an area that humans can never reach, or that it does not belong to this world.

Professor Sun speculated that the Fire Extinguishing Nation may have some connection with the ancient snake worshippers.

"Could it be that the Fire Extinguishing Nation is a descendant of the snake worshippers?" Song Xing guessed.

Professor Sun said, "No, on the contrary, I think that the descendants of the Fire Extinguishing Nation and the snake worshippers are enemies. ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Professor Sun organized the language and said slowly: "When the Green Tomb excavated the ruins of the Fire Fighting Country, I participated in and studied the dragon seal of the Xia Dynasty, and I found that in the words they recorded, words such as spitting fire appeared many times. ”

"Later, after escaping from the Green Tomb, I checked many ancient books, only to find out that the word Spitfire may represent the hostile forces of the Fire Fighting Country, the ancient country that was once born in the abyss of the earth, the Tocharian Country."

"Tocharian country, Tocharian country in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty?"

Shirley Yang was a little strange, she was also familiar with history books, and she thought about it in her mind, remembering the country.

According to the Sui Book, the Tocharian country, 500 miles west of the Green Mountains, lived together with Rutan. The capital city is two miles away. The victors were 100,000 soldiers, and they all practiced war. It is customary to worship Buddha.

There are sacred horses in its caves, and every year the horses are herded in the caves, and famous horses will be produced.

"It's not the Tocharian country you think," Professor Sun said, "it's the ancient Tocharian country that existed earlier. ”

"Snake worshippers dig underground, causing a great flood, leading to extinction, when the descendants of the snake worshippers established an ancient country that respects the snake as a god by the Huaishui, still living in the cave, repeatedly digging the river channel led to flooding, after being subdued by Dayu, it was sent as a slave to dig the ghost canal underground, due to the rational use of the original cave group hidden under the earth's crust, so that the dark river meanders for thousands of miles, and buries many heavy weapons town river, and finally chisels through the dragon gate, and the flood is introduced into the Yu ruins."

Song Xing thought thoughtfully: "In this way, when Dayu controlled the water, they also had some credit. ”

Professor Sun nodded: "That's right, after the flood was cured, Dayu let these slaves live in the abyss to monitor the flood, after the fall of the Xia Dynasty, these slaves built Tocharian City under the abyss, and it was not until a thousand years later that ghost slaves gradually escaped from the ground and escaped into the Western Desert and became the ancestors of the "Tocharians". ”

"As for the country of extinguishing the fire, I guess it may be the country established by the remnants of the slaves left by Dayu back then."

When Hu Bayi heard this, he couldn't help but interject and asked: "In this case, why is there the word 'poor' in the underground palace of the fire extinguishing country?" ”

"This ......" Professor Sun showed a hesitant look, obviously hiding something, but he still continued: "According to the record of the Fire Extinguishing Country in the "Poor Note Sutra", the Fire Extinguishing Country is the second batch of countries to enter the Yu Ruins to explore after the fall of the Xia Dynasty. ”

"And if you find the Yu Ruins, in my opinion, you may be able to find the green tomb buried deep underground, and then find the true body of the ancient god."

Song Xing looked at Professor Sun and asked, "Are you sure that the true body of the ancient god is in Yuxu?" ”

Professor Sun said, "It is very likely that the green tomb must be sealed with the true body of the ancient god, otherwise Room Zero would not have wanted to find it for so many years." ”

Song Xing thought for a while and said, "Now that you know that you have appeared, the people from the Green Tomb are likely to be blocking the way back to Beijing, what are you going to do?" ”

Professor Sun thought for a while and replied: "In this case, let's not go back to Beijing at all, let's go directly to Shennongjia, to be honest, I have also been wondering all these years, is there a god under the endless abyss?" ”

Dixian Village was destroyed, and the last wish of the Feng clan had been fulfilled in the hands of Professor Sun, and he had no regrets.

He has lived as an atheist all his life, and he also wants to know whether there are any so-called 'gods' in this world who have survived for countless years.

After some discussion, everyone decided not to return to the capital, and went directly to Shennongjia.

Shirley Yang turned the car around, Professor Sun thought for a moment, took out his worn-out notebook from his arms, flipped through it, and then pulled out another folded piece of paper from the middle.

After spreading it out, there is a stack of rubbings printed on the paper, and the pattern is extremely ancient, the words are not like words, and the patterns are not like patterns.

"This is the rubbing I printed from a bronze tripod under the ruins of the Fire Fighting Country, you can take a look."

Wang Fatzi stretched out his head: "It's just some strange lines, what's there to see?" ”

Professor Sun didn't speak, but turned the direction of the paper and placed it in front of them again.

Wang Fatzi saw it clearly this time, and then said hesitantly: "This seems to be a map of the underground mountain range?" ”

Professor Sun nodded: "The mysterious graphics on this part of the rubbing, which record various terrain and landforms below the surface, as well as a large number of ancient creatures. ”

Professor Sun said and pointed to the corner of the rubbing, near the top of the area, depicting a giant with flesh horns on his head, in front of him placed a disc-shaped mysterious object, it is divided into several layers, like a tower is not a tower, it looks strange, there are mysterious and complex lines all over the body, I don't know whether it is metal or stone, there are strange beasts entrenched around, and above is a mountain swallowing python that is wrapped around several turns.
