Chapter 953: Ghost Book Rules
"Have you looked at this eye closely?"
Yue Guanchao asked Xiang Ghost Fang Sect, Tan Yanqiu mentioned in the letter, the increase in white-haired animals is probably a matter of half a year and a year, this ghost old man has a lot of time to observe these stones, since these eyes can be seen to be the key, it is impossible for Ghost Fang Sect not to notice it at all.
Ghost Fang Sect shook his head: "No, although the eyes of the stone are strange, we haven't found anything strange, of course, it may be that we have found the right place, we have set up the shelf, you can go and see for yourself." ”
Ghost Fangzong's eyes signaled to the craftsmen around him, building an escalator is a good job, more than a dozen people are busy, and the escalator is quickly set up against the colossus of human heads, as if a simple cage has been built for the head.
Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan stepped on the ladder and walked to the bamboo platform near the nose of the colossus, the height was just level with their eyes.
Just now, they had only seen a few glances at the eyes of the Colossus from a distance nearby, but at this moment, only half a meter away from their eyes, they turned on the flashlight and shone the eyeballs in their sockets to carefully observe more details.
The Colossus's eyes are actually as big as a one-meter-long and wide half-door panel, not to mention the narrowest part, the widest part of the slender eyes can fit into a water tank, enough for an adult to curl up and stuff into it.
If you look closely, the texture of the eyeballs is close to the translucent golden-brown amber stone, which looks slightly transparent, and there is a kind of hazy fufu covered with a veil
In the yellow-brown eyeball, the black oval pupil is surrounded by it, like the yolk wrapped in egg white, showing a very real translucent eyeball, and in the corners of the eyes and the subtleties of the eyelids, you can also see the blood red threads that are deliberately aggravated and carved, wandering all over the eyeball.
The flashlight swept to the eyeball, and the light continued to reflect through the smooth surface, producing a very strange scattered reflection, as if the pupil light in the human eye was clearly visible, if the eye was not huge enough, they really thought that the eyeball in front of them was a real human eye!
"There's some symbols in there."
Song Siyuan completely pressed the head of the flashlight on the eyeball, and the strong light penetrated into it through the translucent eyeball, and even the black pupil nucleus in the middle was illuminated.
Yue Guanchao was reminded by Song Siyuan, close to the eyeball and stared at the eyeball carefully, the black pupil inside is a sphere, the surface is etched with golden lines, these lines are not only like some kind of ancient text, but also like a simple totem symbol, with the law of rows and verticals, evenly distributed on the surface of the pupil nucleus, you can clearly feel that the text reflects the light.
Seeing the two of them approaching their eyes, Ghost Fangzong and Xu Xiake also felt a little strange, and walked to the vicinity on the bamboo platform.
"Mr. Ghost Fang, what do you think of the words in these eyeballs?"
Song Siyuan wanted to see if the Ghost Fang Sect had ever touched the words in this eyeball, and when she saw that the Ghost Fang Sect was puzzled, she couldn't make up her mind.
Ghost Fang Zong looked at it for a moment, and nodded with a serious face: "The text in the eyeball is the ghost fang script that has disappeared, this is a kind of pictomorphic totem script produced in the early days of the ghost fang country, with the ghost fang nobles being assimilated by the merchants, this kind of totem script is no longer used, and by the end of the Shang Dynasty, the ordinary ghost fang people have given up the ghost fang script, only the ghost fang nobles near Chaoge City, still retain the habit of using the ghost fang script to worship their ancestors." ”
As for later, after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the backers of the Nine Marquis of the Ghost Fang had already fallen, and in order not to cause trouble, they were eager to integrate with other ethnic groups, and of course they would try their best to hide the traces of the Ghost Fangrao, and the first thing they gave up was the habit of using the Ghost Fangwen.
Yes, since the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the ghost script has completely died, becoming a kind of ancient totem script that no one uses at all, and the nobles with the surname of the nine surnames of the ghost marquis just collected the ghost script as a text classic, and have never used it since.
"You didn't notice this?" Yue Guanchao narrowed his eyes, if the Ghost Fang Sect discovered these words in advance, but waited for them to discover them alone, it would be a bit strange.
Ghost Fang Zong nodded: "When we checked these eyes, we did find these ghost scripts, but the words are all gibberish, and some key parts are missing, so we can't decipher them at all, we can only guess that they are some strange sacrificial documents left by the ghost Fang Que Chu, or simply to confuse Rao's forgery." ”
Song Siyuan realized this, and shouted with a light in her eyes: "Class senior, class leader, you come up first, most of these eyes can sense Rao's activity." ”
Recently, Song Siyuan explained: "These ghost texts are indeed garbled, but I believe that the ghost people can create this thing, and it will definitely not be an empty decoration, you can see if you can sense anything." ”
After speaking, Ban Wan approached the eyes of the boulder, put her hand on the boulder and continued to grope around, after her eyes opened, she looked at the position of the center of the boulder's eyebrows, and slowly approached the center of the eyebrows.
"There's something here, but I can't open it."
Ban Shu comprehended, replaced Sister Ah and looked at the center of his eyebrows carefully, and on the red paint, it was obvious that he could see dried blood.
"Do you need the blood of the ghost prescription?"
He made a slight cut on his hand, pressed it to the center of his eyebrows, and only heard a rumbling sound, and it could be seen that the stones in the center of the eyebrows opened to the sides, just forming long, slender eyes vertically.
If you look closely, what appears in this eye is a copper ball in the form of a ball, the surface seems to be full of bulges on the skin of a pineapple, and the raised fruit resembles a single pine nut, the whole is the same size as the lid of the pot, and there is just a groove on the left and right, which can put down Rao's handprint.
"Is this the thing?" Yue Guan tide shines on the pine cone.
"yes, it's just, what's the use of this thing?"
They really don't know what the use of this pine cone is, the ghost culture died out too early, such a completely unfamiliar thing, they have to be cautious.
"Could it be, it's related to the eyes!"
Ban Shu pointed to the position of the center of the stone statue's eyebrows: "This position is located in the center of the eyebrows, just the eyes of Sister A, perhaps, this thing of the stone statue represents the eye worship in the brain of the ghost party, and it is very likely that it can be opened by a certain mechanism." ”
Song Siyuan carefully observed the shape of the sphere and agreed: "It is possible, I just mentioned that the ghost people worship some organs of the brain, this thing has been discovered by biologists as early as the 15th century, they call this thing the pineal gland, this organ is located in the brain, covered with concave and convex lines, it looks like an oval pine cone." ”
"Anyway, the specific theory is very complicated, I only conclude that they believe that the key factor in the development of the human brain in the pineal gland is like the key to the human brain, but where the human brain has developed ability, it is the pineal gland that has some abnormalities."
At the mention of this, her face became mysterious: "Since the ghost people feel that there is something in their brains, and the location is in the center of their eyebrows, maybe what they found is probably the abnormal pineal gland, they may not know what this thing is at that time, but they must know the existence of this pineal gland, because of its magical ability to call the structure in the brain the eye, which gives rise to eye worship." ”
"Then, the variant of the pine cone structure of the giant stone statue in the center of the eyebrows can also be explained, if there is really a mechanism, it is probably this pine cone copper ball."
Seeing that Song Siyuan and he had the same idea, Ban Shu put his hands on the hand-shaped groove on the copper pine cone, and as the two hands pressed to the solid place, the copper pine cone began to rotate, with the groove of the two hands as the central axis to rotate up and down, every time it rotated, the fruit on the surface of the pine cone would continue to open and close with the rotation, rippling like breathing.
"It worked."
When Banshu pressed the copper pine cone, Song Siyuan kept staring at the eyeball of the colossus, and when the pine cone was fully bloomed, the golden text in the eyeball also changed, some of the totems were obviously completed to the side, and some of the words were protruding from the eye core, isolating the whole totem.
After the Ghost Fang Sect noticed this, his eyes looked at everyone excitedly: "I guess that it is the change of this organ that has changed some of the organs of the eyeballs, so that these ghost Fang characters gradually complete the whole and become decipherable words, and these words that are specially isolated and protruding should be the main reminder information." ”
Song Siyuan looked at the ghost old man and asked, "Since that's the case, can you decipher the ghost script?" Again, we need our help. ”
Ghost Fangzong nodded: "If you don't dare to be proficient, you can only understand it slightly, the ghost script is a pictograph, it has long been abandoned, the nine surnames of the ghost marquis are scattered, these ghost recipe classics are also scattered all over the place, what our ghost fang family can know is really limited, and we don't know how to pronounce it, but it is still okay to understand what the ghost fang wen means." ”
Then, the ghost Fang Zong signaled, and another very old craftsman came up, this person picked up a strange-looking ancient book in his hand, he copied all the totem texts on the ancient book, and marked the isolated and protruding words in the totem and combined them.
It took about a stick of incense to give the result.
"The mountains are in chaos...... Mysterious traces, strange strangers in the depths of the gorge, the sun is prosperous and the yin is falling...... Looking at the tide, the summer scorching glacier ......"
The old craftsman was no longer old, and he stumbled to explain, and after listening to all the translations, everyone always felt that they had heard it somewhere.
"Hey, how do I think, it's a bit like the ten monsters of Shennong mentioned by Tan Yanqiu and Sun Daqiao."
Xu Xiake asked.
Song Siyuan probably felt the same way, and took out her notes to look at her previous records: "Lost in the mountains without a trace, wild mountains and deep gorges meet savages, the sun and the moon rise and fall, the caves freeze in midsummer, strange livestock walk on the ground, arrows and bamboos build ownerless nests, cold and warm caves are bright, ghost market and mountain mirages are charming, stone houses are raised with gods, and ghosts in the pillar forest are endless." ”
By the end of her reading, everyone had already realized that although the text descriptions were different, the proverbs of the Ten Monsters of Shennong and the translations of these ghost scripts basically had the same meaning, but the ghost scripts were more primitive, using the ancient style of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
"There is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, I already know that we have already obtained these words, so why do we need to go around in such a big circle."
