Chapter 1 Stone Carvings
The starry sky is boundless, the vastness of the sky, and the vastness of the sky can be described as the universe, which can be used throughout the ages. In the ethereal universe, there are mysterious unknowns, but also moving legends......
With the passage of time, all traces have been washed away in the vast history, including those legends passed down by word of mouth, all of which have been forgotten in people's hearts.
......
In early autumn, the Taklamakan Desert seemed to be much calmer than usual, with continuous golden gravel, towering in the vast golden sea, and after a day of exposure under the scorching sun, the endless desert seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and calm down from the restlessness.
At this time, the sun sets over the long river, and the sunshine in the west gives this vast desert a beautiful color, and the golden sand dunes are like solidified waves, which look so beautiful under the afterglow of the west.
The Taklamakan Desert has no way of knowing how long it has existed, and the vast desert hides endless legends, and the "Niya" civilization is one of the dazzling existences, since it was discovered at the beginning of the last century, it has continued to attract groups of tourists to come to see and explore her enchanting and beautiful legends, of course, there are no lack of archaeologists.
Not long ago, in the depths of the desert, a team of archaeologists used advanced scientific and technological means to explore an area about 20 kilometers away from the "Niya" civilization, and the results of the exploration were amazing, because they detected the remains of the walls of an ancient city, and the components were detected to be not any of the known elements now, and they were so old that they were shocking hundreds of thousands of years or even longer.
The news shocked the entire international archaeological community, so a large number of scholars with more seniority and advanced equipment came to explore.
As the archaeological excavation deepened, they found a huge stone carving inside a cleared city gate.
The stone carving did not show any signs of erosion by the wind and sand, and the lines were still clear, white as jade, but it was definitely not the jade that had ever been seen on the earth, and it was cold at all, even if everyone was ten meters away, they could feel it.
At this time, the people who heard the news were watching an old professor with gray hair holding a brush, carefully sweeping the gravel on it, and he cleaned out the vertical and horizontal nicks one by one.
As the gravel slowly swept down, a huge circular stone carving appeared in front of people's eyes, on which there was no written record, but there were many dense dots of different sizes carved on it.
The old professor gently rubbed the stone carving with a faint chill with his palm, and his face was excited.
"Oh my God, this, this can't be a starry sky map. A young female scholar exclaimed.
"The starry sky map, such a huge starry sky map, could it be that it was portrayed by the Niya people?" someone said in surprise.
"Impossible, this place is about twenty kilometers away from the Niya civilization, and the Niya people are actually the ancient elite country, their civilization is definitely not so high, and all the architectural styles here are similar to the ancient Chinese style, even if it is a real starry sky map, it is definitely not what they portray. Someone shook his head in disagreement.
"That's right, it's a map of the stars. An old expert with glasses stepped forward.
"Lao Wang, are you sure?" said the gray-haired old professor, who is one of the few well-known archaeologists in China, but who is not very involved in astronomy.
"You see, this, and this, connect these stars, exactly seven, and this largest is located in the center, which should be what we often call the North Star, which is also commonly known as the constellation Ursa Minor. The expert who was called Lao Wang stepped forward and kept pointing to the carved picture and said.
"Yes, that's right, you see next to it is the constellation Dracous, and there is the constellation Lynx, and the constellation Perseus. A young expert who has studied astronomy stepped forward and said.
"Oh my God, this is really a map of the stars, so complete. Someone in the crowd exclaimed, knowing that such a vast sky map could not be depicted even with current technology.
Who portrayed this and what era it is, no matter which of these information is launched, I don't know how much human civilization has advanced.
"You see, these constellations are far from the Beidou we know well, and they are simply beyond the scope of our cognition. The young expert before looked excited.
In particular, there are nine stars in the center, and these nine stars are guarding one of the huge stars, and everyone is shocked, and they are talking about it in twos and threes.
At this time, the afterglow sprinkled on the starry sky map carved in stone, faintly fluorescent, shining, especially those big stars actually emitted a faint light, extremely mysterious, everyone seemed to be in the boundless sea of stars.
Such a scene made a group of old experts can't help but stretch out their hands and slowly rub on it excitedly, this is an unprecedented major discovery, and it definitely makes the whole world crazy.
"Ah......h
"Don't move. The gray-haired old professor said with a frown.
The young expert retracted, not daring to touch it indiscriminately. Everyone then turned their attention to the shocking starry sky map, but they didn't find that the sand and gravel that had just been stained with blood were cementing one by one, gradually turning into a bean-sized gravel, and the whole body was as red as agate.
The gravel gradually turned, bright red, and then levitated itself into the air, flying to the center of the stone carving, and with the gradual rotation, the faint glow was dazzling.
"What is this?" exclaimed, pointing to the blood-red bead.
Everyone looked at the bright red bead for a while, and at the same time felt a little weird, where did this bead come from, the strange red light emitted as if there was a mysterious call, so that everyone's heartbeat accelerated, it was too weird, and suddenly everyone had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"Ah......h
"You, what's wrong with you. The woman said in horror.
Everyone turned around to take a look, only to see that the young expert who had been scratched earlier had a pale face, his eyes were deep-set, his eyes were slightly convex, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and his body was like a sifting chaff, as terrifying as if he had been siphoned out of his soul.
The crowd quickly stepped back and looked at him with horror on their faces.
At this time, the blood-red bead on the stone carving turned even faster, and there was a seeping sound, and as the blood-red bead turned faster and faster, the body of the previous young expert shook more and more, and the convulsions continued.
"Ah, my chest is so tight. Someone shouted in horror.
"Mine too, I feel like I'm going to jump out. Some of them were pale, and sweat the size of beans covered their foreheads.
"Me too...... Ahh
The people around him covered their chests with their hands, and there was no blood on their faces, and panic spread at this moment, and at this time, everyone had long lost their previous joy, and all that was left was endless horror.
"Ahh ”
"Look, the bead has stopped, and the chest is not so stuffy. Someone shouted.
Everyone saw that the bead stopped rotating, but the careful Lao Wang saw that there was an extra silk thread in the middle of the blood-red bead, and the silk thread forcibly divided the blood-red bead into two petals, half deep and half shallow, which was extremely strange.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, in the next moment, the blood-red beads quickly reversed, and the wind made a loud noise, rolling up the surrounding sand, and the space instantly seemed to be drawn into light, and it was dim.
When the wind stopped, there was silence all around, and even the young expert who had been twitching before stopped, and everyone did not dare to come out.
"Ah, skulls, so many skulls. A woman's scream shattered the silence.
She kept retreating, but the sound of bones cracking kept coming from under her feet.
Click, click...... The voice went straight into everyone's hearts, and it was very permeating, and the woman looked down and almost fainted directly, only to see that the bones under her feet were densely packed with Bai Sensen's bones, both human and unknown.
"What a bone is so much. ”
"Ah, my eyes are so swollen. Someone screamed.
"Ah......h
"Ah, my heart ......"
Screams rang out almost at the same moment.
Immediately after that, the young expert from before exploded directly with a "bang", and scattered blood and flesh droplets splashed around, staining everyone with blood red.
At this time, the sky was slightly dark, and the remnant sun only showed half of his face, and the blood-red sunset reflected down, which looked even more weird and terrifying.
"Wow......"
A female expert burst into tears: "What's going on, how can this be, I'm going to leave here." ”
The experts looked at each other at this time, their faces were full of horror, some of them dragged their slightly stiff legs back, and some of them trembled with purple lips, but they couldn't say a word, Lao Wang wrinkled and glanced at the gray old expert, then took out the satellite phone, thought for a while and dialed it out directly.
Toot, the phone was connected, and Lao Wang just said a word, and was interrupted......
"Yin and Yang are rebellious, blood sacrifice, this is the blood sacrifice of ancient gods and demons. Just then someone shouted.
"Run, get out of here......"
"Run, blood sacrifice, gods and demons. ”
The panicked crowd reacted and fled in all directions.
However, the fleeing people did not run far, and the snow-white skulls flew up in the air, quickly speeding towards the fleeing crowd
"Puff ......"
The people who were smashed were blasted into a demonic blood mist by the skulls one by one, and the blood mist flew and swept in all directions, and in an instant, this place became a hell on earth, and more than 100 people, including Lao Wang, were all blown up.
At this time, the blood mist rolled, like a thick cloud, condensed towards the blood-red bead in the center, and the whining sound was loud, but the stars on the stone carving were brightened, especially the nine stars in the middle surrounded by red light, like a living body to rush out of the stone carving.
When the blood mist gathered, the red light of the star in the center burst out, and a powerful light directly rose into the sky and broke into the void. Rumble...... At the same time, a stronger storm blew around, and the sand and dust flew to cover the sky and the sun, sweeping away in the direction of due south.
