Chapter 11: Mysterious Runes
"Gluttony?" Hearing He Chaoqun's surprised voice, Bai Ye felt that things might not be simple. Although I didn't know what it meant to have a gluttony in the ancestral hall, I held the bell in my hand for the sake of safety.
"Gluttony is one of the four fierce beasts of ancient times, and it is recorded in the "Divine Strange Scripture: The Book of the Western Wilderness": gluttony, the name of the beast, the body is like a cow, the human face, the eyes are under the armpits, and the cannibalism is eaten. Legend has it that gluttony has a huge appetite, once gluttonous is born, it is to eat people everywhere, and a city is a city when eaten, so it is listed as one of the four fierce beasts of ancient times. ”
He Chaoqun was obviously very curious about the gluttony in this ancestral hall! Even if it's for the town house, it's also a mythical beast with auspicious meanings such as unicorns and swaggers.
"Xiao Ye, let's go out first! This village is not simple, and the history behind it may require a professional archaeological team to explore, and first go to gather with Dongge. ”
He Chaoqun was about to walk out, but saw Bai Ye staring at the wall behind the ancestral hall!
"What are you looking at?" He Chaoqun stepped forward and pushed Bai Ye, and Bai Ye came back to his senses, and only then did He Chaoqun see some runes densely engraved on this wall!
"Xiao Ye, you can help me get a flashlight!" He Chaoqun hurriedly took out a rubbing, which was given to him by He Lao when he set off, and it was the rubbing of the green brick that He Lao and Liu Fugui studied!
"I see! It's really hard work! Xiao Ye, we finally found the clue that Daddy said was a brick! ”
He Chaoqun took out the rubbing and found that the pattern on it was very similar to the pattern on this wall! I was about to go out to tell everyone the good news, but I was suddenly stopped by Bai Ye.
"Wait a minute! Uncle Chaoqun, take a closer look! Bai Ye stepped forward, "There are runes carved on the wall behind the ancestral hall, but there are murals on the walls on both sides!" ”
After some reminders from Bai Ye, He Chaoqun found that the murals on both sides were not very clear in color due to their age, but some changes in depth could be faintly seen.
In ancient times, in areas where writing was not yet available or not widespread, murals were often used to record important events! Interpreting such a thing as a mural is naturally difficult for He Chaoqun, an experienced archaeologist.
"The picture on the left, is it a flood?" He Chaoqun looked at the mural on the wall and said to himself.
The mural on the wall records a disaster, and in some year, a great flood broke out in a village, and countless lives were killed in the flood.
Later, a high priest with a scepter organized people to dig ditches and ditches to channel the flood and quell the disaster, but the home was destroyed, and the whole village had to leave their homes and move the village.
"But where are you going to move?" The murals are gone here, and He Chaoqun is recording everything here while looking at the murals on the right side of the ancestral hall.
The mural on the right is just the ending on the left:
It turned out that after the high priest had cured the flood, he led the whole village to find a place to settle down, and finally found a small hill where a stream passed through it, and the soil was fertile, which was the most suitable place to live! After finding the premises, everyone worked together to dig stones and quarry, and finally built a new village!
The mural is gone here, but He Chaoqun, who has finished interpreting it, is even more puzzled!
"Xiao Ye, look! Some of the villages we saw this morning were built at the foot of the mountain, and after my analysis with Dong Ge, the village was built according to the layout specifications of the Taiji Liangyi diagram, but at the end of this mural, the whole village was not built as it is now! ”
With doubts, Bai Ye and He Chaoqun temporarily left the ancestral hall.
On the other side, Dong Ge and his party also discovered a strange place in this village!
When Bai Ye and He Chaoqun returned to the camp with a day's discovery, Dongge and the others had already lit a fire.
Seeing that everyone's faces were heavy, especially Song Zisu's little girl, who had lost the enthusiasm she had when she came, Bai Ye thought to herself, today's experience is not simple.
As soon as he arrived at the camp, without waiting for Bai Ye to sit down, Mo Tianya pulled Bai Ye aside: "You didn't encounter anything unusual today, did you?" ”
"Yes!"
Bai Ye told Mo Tianya about his experience in the ancestral hall today, and now I am afraid that only Mo Tianya will know his experience, and only Mo Tianya has the ability to deal with emergencies in case of emergencies!
It turned out that after Bai Ye entered the ancestral hall today, the bell had been vibrating slightly, and the golden armor on his body also had a sense of restraint, which seemed to be very jealous of the ancestral hall, reminding Bai Ye to leave quickly! Moreover, the runes engraved on the wall behind the ancestral hall are very similar to the runes on the bell in his hand!
Bai Ye suspected that those runes were a kind of writing that had long been lost, recording something!
In fact, Liu Fugui and He Lao had already confirmed that the rune was a lost script, and deciphered the word "Qingcheng", so they would come to Qingcheng Mountain.
It's just that He Lao didn't tell them this.
Of course, Bai Ye didn't talk to Mo Tianya about the runes, but just said his strange reaction when he approached the ancestral hall.
"Except for the abnormality of the bell, I also lost consciousness for a short time in the ancestral hall!"
!
When Mo Tianya heard this, his eyes instantly became alert.
"What's going on?"
"After entering, I saw the runes behind the ancestral hall, and I felt that I had seen it somewhere, and suddenly I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't hear anything, and then almost instantaneously, Uncle Chaoqun pulled me, and I reacted. But at that time, I watched Uncle Chaoqun's reaction, and this moment should be a period of time in reality. Bai Ye told Mo Tianya what happened today.
Mo Tianya's brows furrowed, the things described in Bai Ye's mouth were really strange, and he had never heard of such a thing.
Just guarding the ancestral hall with gluttony, Mo Tianya is no stranger to such things!
"That gluttony is not guarding the ancestral hall, but suppressing something!" Mo Tianya said categorically.
"Xiaoye, wooden face, come over for dinner!" Song Zisu's voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
During the meal, Dong Ge shared today's findings.
"We walked around the village a few times today and found that although this village has been abandoned for more than ten years, there is one place that seems to have not been set foot for hundreds of years!"
! 100 years! Bai Ye and He Chaoqun's eyes lit up when they heard it, because the copper lock on today's ancestral hall, according to He Chaoqun's judgment, has not been opened for hundreds of years.
"It's a dry well, we also use a mountaineering rope, please go down to the end of the world to take a look, the entire wall of the well is engraved with runes, and there is a dark river under the well, but it has dried up." After Uncle Dong finished speaking, He Chaoqun and Bai Ye, who were eating canned food, widened their eyes!
It's those runes again! The runes engraved in this village are the same as those on the green bricks in He Lao's hands, and the same as the bells on Bai Ye's hands!
How many secrets are hidden behind this village?
After the two groups exchanged information, Dong Ge immediately realized the importance of the matter! The appearance of two places engraved with mysterious runes in an abandoned village is no small thing!
At the same time, He Lao and Liu Fugui, who were planning the "summit plan" behind their backs, made a new discovery!
