There are a large number of messy footprints on the ground on the second floor. Although it is covered with white dust, some traces can still be found after careful searching.
Obviously, my brother and the others have also searched extensively here, but the footprints are too messy to provide any useful reference.
It is worth mentioning that there are many complex words engraved on the beams on the second floor.
Based on a rough judgment, these texts come from different eras, different regions, and even different cultures.
Almost every word in each line of text is a different writing system.
"Made, the only ones in this world who can do such outrageous things are the Zhang family, right? Hell, if an expert on ancient writing comes here, why shouldn't he curse on the spot?"
Hu Ming looked at these incomprehensible words and grinned.
Ancient characters are different from modern characters. Each character contains multiple meanings, which need to be guessed and understood based on the context.
Especially in some remote language families, it is impossible to decipher the characters without understanding the historical customs and cultures that have disappeared in the long river of history.
But in this case...
Hu Ming can guarantee that even if the top ancient writing experts from Four-Nine City come here, they can torture those old professors with just one word.
The cliff is painful and happy!
After all, the Zhang family’s ancient building contains the most authentic and complete history of China!
Once all the words here can be deciphered, there will be no mystery in the eyes of scholars about the evolution of Chinese civilization since five thousand years ago.
But... the truth of history will definitely shock the jaws of those old scholars who firmly believe in science, and even make them doubt life and shatter their outlook on life.
After all, the many mysteries in the real history of this world are no less than those in fairy tales, right?
Think about it, immortality, resurrection from the dead, mythical special powers possessed by extraterrestrial beings, this kind of thing... Why the hell are you using modern science to explain it to me?
Of course, the premise of everything is that experts have the opportunity to come here, successfully decipher these complex words, and return alive.
However, these things are meaningless to Hu Ming and others, and they are not very interested in them.
Wu Xie is interested in his brother's past, not the true history of China.
It is worth mentioning that the first few floors of the ancient Zhang family building deep in the mountain are mostly functional places, warehouses, or residences of clan members. There is a high probability that there will be no danger here.
No matter how crazy the Zhang family is, they will not create a lot of stuff in these places.
Hu Ming and others were not interested in what was on the second floor. They just followed the footprints left by the younger brother and others, and in a moment they found the hidden staircase leading to the next floor.
The third level is even more unexpected.
In the large space, there is only a huge stone turtle placed in the center.
The turtle's limbs and neck are unusually slender, it has a human face and a turtle body. The ends of its forelimbs are human hands, and its hind limbs are turtle feet.
The face is that of a woman, sinister and fierce, half-smiling but not smiling, like some terrifying thangka ghosts and gods from Western Xinjiang.
There is a depression on the turtle's back, and inside it is a black ball with human faces carved on it.
In short, no matter how you look at it, this thing is not a serious turtle statue, it is somewhat eerie.
Actually, this thing looks a bit spooky, but in fact it is a serious statue of a god in the ancient history of the Celestial Dynasty.
This is a portrait that symbolizes the descendants of the Shennong family - the people of the country!
In the ancient times, the Shennong people used clay dolls, which were things with human faces and turtle bodies, to count the number of ethnic groups.
Later, this statue with a human face and a turtle body became the national emblem of the Shiren Kingdom.
According to legend, the appearance of this thing is related to the mythical Nuwa.
This thing sounds legendary, but in the final analysis it is just a testimony of the development of civilization.
On the third floor, the most important thing is not this thing... Hu Ming has heard some unpleasant noises that suddenly sounded.
Suddenly there was a strange sound of footsteps on the "ceiling" above my head!!!
"What the hell...? People in the Zhang family are all perverts, right? The one on top is actually covered with fairy fruits?"
Under Hu Ming's prompting, Fatty finally stopped the lecture, heard the faint sound of footsteps, and looked at the ceiling above his head.
But this look...
The criss-crossing beams above the head form a huge chessboard-like structure.
In the grids of these chessboards, in the shadows of the beams, there are countless exquisite little boxes hanging.
"That's awesome."
The fat man's eyes widened when he saw it. Tens of thousands of small boxes were hung under the shadow of the entire ceiling.
The boxes are large or small, with different shapes and patterns on them. At first glance, they are extremely spectacular.
"Fairy fruit? What is that?"
Even Hu Ming was confused by the fat man's voice and temporarily ignored the footsteps. He had never heard of such a thing before.
"Hi, uncle, I've only heard of it... from a sister who has taken care of business."
"This guy is a very awesome lady. Once she went to a boss's house to "deliver food"... You all know how to deliver food, right?"
Delivery?
How could Wu Xie and others not understand? We are all adults, right?
A few people glanced at the fat man with disdain. This guy was not an ordinary wild man playing in Sijiu City.
In a few years, this guy will become the favorite target of anti-pornography thugs.
"You are so naive that you have no right to despise Fatty! You have dragged Fatty and I have taken you to take a bath a few times?"
"Let's get down to business... I heard the boss say that some things in this world have never fallen to the ground since they were made. They are all hung up for preservation."
"And the box containing this kind of treasure is called fairy fruit... I just heard about it, but I didn't expect there to be so many here."
The old fat man blushed, glared at Wu Xie, who was pretending to be a pure and good boy, and then spoke eloquently.
Who in the Mediterranean has the right to laugh at a bald man?
"Are you fucking reliable?"
"I also heard a story that the eunuchs in the past had a treasure room. All the things that were cut off from their bodies were put in a box and hung in the treasure room. It was the same situation."
Wu Xie smiled in spite of Hu Ming and Xiao Hua's teasing gazes and said his guess.
"So...you mean, there are tens of thousands of barren rods hanging from the ceiling on the third floor of this ancient building?"
"Damn, you bastards can really talk nonsense!"
Hu Ming already understood what Wu Xie meant and twitched the corner of his mouth. Are these bastards really getting more and more ridiculous?
Look at the way they quoted scriptures and swore so confidently. If Hu Ming hadn't known what was inside, he would have believed it! Pat, pat...
However, while the few people were talking, the footsteps on the ceiling became clearer and clearer.
