What is the most fortunate thing in this world? There is no doubt that it is the miraculously surviving in a certain dilemma. Although Mustache and Jinpu Awang were both injured, they are still alive.
Mustache slowly sat up from the stone, glanced down for a few times, then speeded up and jumped down. He had a bottle with him, which contained the trauma medicine that the old people must carry with them. The situation was not yet
When he was completely stable, he poured out half of the powder in the bottle and applied it to Jin Pu Awang's back. He poured the other half onto the wound on his chest and wrapped it hastily.
The force of the explosion caused serious casualties to the group of strange things. Those at the front were blown away and could not be found. The surrounding circle was also affected and was struggling on the ground. Regardless of whether these things are still capable of moving, they must be removed.
Death, so as not to leave any consequences. Mustache and Jinpu Awang coincidentally started to take action at the scene after the explosion. The situation at this time was very favorable to them. They killed all the monsters that were not dead one by one.
Lose.
About ten minutes later, the area covered by the tree canopy finally became completely quiet, and there was no sound at all. The remains of strange things and their fallen cocoons were everywhere. The two people were covered in blood and stood in a mess.
Outside the battle group, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did Mustache have the time and energy to re-examine the small hole at the root of the trunk. He and Jinpu Awang carefully treated the wound, and then ran to the trunk. Jinpu Awang was still a little uncomfortable.
Don't worry, I climbed up the tree trunk to see if there were any signs of danger in the upper part of the thick canopy. Mustache sat next to the tree trunk and first picked up the old backpack that had been left behind.
Although the backpack is old, it is still very strong to this day. There are many things in it, but there is nothing to explain the true identities of the two people.
Mustache took out all the things. At the bottom of the bag, there was a stack of papers clipped with clips. These papers didn't look very important, so they just clipped them casually and threw them into the backpack. The papers were yellow.
, covered with a layer of black mildew, most of the handwriting on it is crooked, the writing is very sloppy, and the content inside is almost incomprehensible.
The person writing may be using a unique technique to record information, and combined with the scrawled handwriting, it can be inferred that he is probably doing a complex math problem, recording all the derivation processes on the paper, but
Mustache looked at it for a long time, looking a little confused.
He watched here for a long time. Jinpu Ngawang came down from the tree, wiped the sweat from his head, and told Mustache that they were lucky. Among the dense coniferous layers high in the huge tree canopy,
There are also some huge hanging cocoons. But those cocoons have dried hard and turned black. It may be that the things in the cocoons have not survived the time and died.
"What are these?" Jinpu Ngawang looked at the rotten papers in the mustache's hand.
"Wait a little longer until I finish reading."
Mustache tried his best to analyze the clues from the scrawled and unclear handwriting, but the person who recorded this information obviously had a unique method. There was not much that Mustache could understand. After he browsed all the papers,
, then turned around and looked at the thick tree trunk next to him.
"The origins of these two people are not clear for the time being, and there are not many written clues left by them, but at the end of the record, some content can be discerned." Mustache said to Jinpu Awang: "This abyss is
An ancient site left by an ancient religion. For some people, this may be the most important site. The ancient religion left something of inestimable value here."
"What?"
"The written content is so obscure that I can only see so much. I don't know if these two people are working around the prophecy of the end of the world. They didn't mention the sacred artifact. It seems that they came here just for this inestimable value.
.”
After Mustache finished speaking, he thought silently. The pottery shards in the treasure-like jar unearthed outside Chillun Lake clearly showed that a very important event happened in the ancient religion at that time.
, is there any connection between this major event and the inestimable value that the two people are looking for?
"Let's start from this small hole." Mustache said: "Although those two people did not leave any more intuitive clues, they must know some truths. After entering the abyss, they were directly at the trunk of this big tree.
Hands-on excavation shows that this is a relatively clear goal."
The small hole under the tree trunk was dug with great skill, but the mustache can tell that this is not the skill of a crawler. The person who dug the hole must have some skills, and even has the skills to shrink bones, so the hole is very narrow, and ordinary people
Can't get in. Mustache has never learned this. Although he can barely get into the hole, it will be difficult to use his hands and feet after getting in, so he starts from the entrance of the hole, gradually widens the entrance and the diameter of the hole, and drills down.
In order to save time, the person who dug the hole dug the hole almost straight down. However, before he could dig to the end, he was attacked by strange things and had to return to the ground. With the previous foundation, it was easier for Mustache to start.
It was a lot bigger, and it just needed to be widened. He dug all the way down, and when he was about five meters away, the original hole came to the end, and he had to dig it himself later. This was Mustache's specialty, and he dug it very smoothly, but again
After digging down about one and a half meters, there was a thick and hard stone layer in the soil, blocking the way.
This kind of stone is a hard rock, not on the same level as tomb bricks. If he is well prepared, has the right tools and time, Xiao Hu can still think of a way, but this time it is not possible. He digs to the side again
, I tried the scope of this stone layer, but I couldn't dig through it. If I had to bite the bullet and get it done here, the amount of work would be huge. He alone would not know if he could do it in ten days and a half.
Done.
"Is there no other way?"
When Mustache came up with a head of soil debris, Jinpu Ngawang said that he had the strength and could keep digging. But Mustache shook his head. He was as familiar with the structure of earth and rocks as some experts and could not dig.
I just couldn't dig through the past, and there was really no way. Especially at this time, you have to give up what you should give up, otherwise it will bring negative consequences.
"Let's go deep and have a look."
This is already the penultimate point in the long migration of the ancient religion, and it is also the only known clue they can grasp. If there is no exact information about the sacred artifact here, then they may have to be blind for a long time in the future.
He started searching again and started to dig out all the related things. Mustache packed up his things and before leaving, with a little bit of reluctance, he looked at the hole under the trunk. His intuition told him that this big tree would not grow for no reason.
In this case, there must be a secret, but the secret is separated from them by a layer of hard stone and cannot be touched.
This huge tree is stuck at the narrowest point at the bottom of the abyss. Beyond the scope of the tree canopy, the area gradually widens. The ancient religion continued to migrate from east to west, perhaps after a few long centuries.
For a long time, a series of events occurred during this period. However, due to the consolidation of Da Lute's status and the high degree of unification of religious power and theocracy, he was like the emperor of an empire. If there was a heroic lord among Da Lute, then
Religion will develop rapidly like a country. Obviously, the ancient religions of this period were very prosperous, and they had the ability to transform the bottom of the abyss on a large scale.
For ancient religions and tribes, sacrifices have always been a very important part of daily life. The abyss is like a huge sacrificial field. Mustache and Jinpu Awang slowly walked far into the depths. They saw some
Complete buildings are not used to house people.
After walking for about a mile, the light in their hands reflected a huge shadow not far away. According to visual inspection, it was a huge building like a nine-story pagoda. The funeral customs of ancient religions have undergone changes.
, the nine-story pagoda lost its original significance. At that time, it became a simple place of worship and was no longer used to preserve the remains of Great Lute.
The scale of the nine-story pagoda has also changed. Strictly speaking, it is no longer a tower, but more like an "altar". Along the huge base, eight floors are built on it. The topmost one should be where the sacrifice was held at that time.
center.
At the beginning, Mustache felt that such a building should be just a symbol and ritual. It had no other purpose except for worship, so the interior of each floor was solid. But as he and Jinpu Awang gradually
When I walked towards this huge altar, I found that there were obvious traces of a door at one end of the base.
"Only the base is empty." After observing here for a long time, Mustache said to Jinpu Awang: "The eight floors above are directly built with stones, without any gaps."
The door on the base seemed to be directly embedded in the stone, with only a faint trace. The dust on the stone had a little flavor of time. After wiping away this thick layer of dust, they were in
On the door, I saw a shallow hexagonal mark.
Following this mark, Mustache immediately recalled the hexagonal wooden building and the catacombs, the words of the last Great Lute, and the hexagonal fragments in the original wooden coffin.
"This is a key." Mustache took out the hexagonal fragment: "It can open the door that should be opened."
