Although Gu Tongjing was mentioned, Chen Ziyan did not intend to tell his own story.
You must know that Gutongjing is now a mysterious place that is only known by name even to people in the Nine Sects. It is not appropriate for an outsider to mention him too much, as it can easily cause unnecessary trouble.
It's enough to do this now.
"What a pity." Wu Laogou was not surprised by this answer, but was a little regretful.
He is now basically certain that Gu Tongjing hides a shocking secret, but he has no chance to see it.
Firstly, it is because the location of Gutongjing is very special, and there is no corresponding method that cannot be found. Secondly, Zhang Dafo Lord pays close attention to that place, and Wu Laogou does not want to touch this brow.
After sighing for a while, Wu Laogou put the matter aside for the time being and said, "Let's go to the front and have a look."
Although there are many questions in my mind, they cannot be solved by just thinking. Instead of wasting time, it is better to use the time to explore this underground space, maybe you can still find something.
Chen Ziyan nodded lightly and walked forward simply.
Now he also wants to understand what is going on in this underground space.
Seeing them both starting to take action, Li Wu and others did not dare to neglect and quickly followed.
The group of people just left the land of snake bones behind them and headed towards the unknown darkness.
After walking like this for nearly ten minutes, the unchanging scene around me finally changed.
A dilapidated building ruins appeared in front of them.
It can be seen from the remaining parts that this is a product completely made of rocks.
"This style is quite ancient!" Li Wu said, looking at the ruins in front of him.
Although he doesn't have much research on ancient architecture, he also knows that this type of architecture is definitely the product of a long time ago.
Chen Ziyan nodded: "At least it must be the Shang and Zhou dynasties."
Although only a small part of this building is left, it is not difficult to see that it is not an underground palace, but a very ordinary balcony.
However, Wu Laogou's eyes moved slightly, he was silent for a moment and then slowly said: "I have seen similar buildings at the ruins of the She Kingdom."
"Oh?" Chen Ziyan looked at him and asked curiously: "Fifth Master, are you sure?"
It's not that he doesn't believe Wu Laogou, but that there is nothing special about the building in front of him except for its simple style. He can only roughly infer a specific era, but there is no way to distinguish the style. p>
Now that Wu Laogou is so categorical that he is like the She Kingdom, he must give a reasonable reason.
"Look here." Wu Laogou also understood this truth. After Chen Ziyan finished speaking, he shined his flashlight at the bottom of the ruins.
Most of the ruins of this building are the lower half, so the bottom of the wall is still intact.
Chen Ziyan looked along the light and discovered that the bottom row of stone bricks on the wall were engraved with a snake-shaped pattern.
Obviously, this is the reason why Wu Laogou made the inference.
Chen Ziyan did not go to Wu Laogou to verify his guess, but walked directly to the ruined wall, squatted down and observed the snake-shaped patterns on it up close.
But it is a pity that these lines can only show the snake shape, and nothing else is reflected. It is impossible to tell which period it comes from.
"Master Wu, what period do you think the She Kingdom was in?" Li Wu asked.
He wasn't interested in observing those lines up close. If he had the time, he might as well ask directly.
"It's hard to explain clearly. This ancient country is too mysterious. There are very few historical materials left, and even if there are, they are mostly just a few words." Wu Laogou shook his head and said.
If they hadn't discovered the ruins of the ancient She Kingdom in the Qinling Mountains, he wouldn't have even known that such an ancient country had ever existed.
You must know that the people in their profession are not only knowledgeable about history, but they are also considered experts. Even he has never heard of an ancient country, so you can imagine how mysterious it must be.
"Fifth Master, please tell me about your original discovery. If nothing unexpected happens, this place should have some connection with the ancient She Kingdom." Chen Ziyan stood up and asked directly.
He didn't believe that Wu Laogou and the others didn't find anything in the Qinling Mountains. They didn't know the specific period of the She Kingdom's existence, so they should know something else.
Wu Laogou did not sell out, and said after hearing this: "There were a lot of discoveries at that time, but not much about the She Kingdom. In the ruins we discovered, the She Kingdom people had a crazy worship of snakes, but they worshiped snakes at the same time.
Living with snakes and eating snakes at the same time is a very contradictory country."
Regarding the secrets in the Qinling Mountains, although Wu Laogou gave a straightforward answer, he did not reveal all the findings.
I just selected some content that is helpful for this operation and briefly talked about it.
"It is indeed a bit contradictory to worship snakes but eat them." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly, but it was not too difficult to understand.
After all, in such a long time ago, it is not surprising that weird things would happen.
"But there were no black-haired snakes in that site." Wu Laogou added.
This was also the main reason why he failed to connect them together at the first time. If the black-haired snake also appeared in the Qinling Mountains, he would not have to go down here, and he would connect the two places together.<
/p>
"Have other snakes appeared?" Chen Ziyan asked.
He thought of Zhu Jiuyin that Wu Xie had met, and wondered if it had also appeared when Wu Laogou and the others went there.
Although in the original plot, Zhu Jiuyin may be the embodiment of fear, Chen Ziyan feels that this is not the case.
"I've encountered it before. It's a strange snake. Its size is extremely scary. It would take four or five people hugging each other to surround it." Wu Laogou took a deep look at Chen Ziyan and said.
From this question, he knew that Chen Ziyan knew just as much as he did.
Unless someone has been to the deepest point, there is no way to know about that kind of strange snake, because there is no room for it to move up there.
"Boss, are there that kind of snake here?" Li Wu suddenly asked, thinking of the giant snake bone he just saw.
He doesn't want to encounter that kind of behemoth. One or two are fine, but if there are more, it will definitely be a narrow escape.
"It's really hard to say." Chen Ziyan pondered slightly and touched his chin.
He did not lie to Li Wu, but he was really not sure whether there would be Zhu Jiuyin here.
Although he has not yet figured out whether there is a relationship between Zhu Jiuyin and the Black Haired Snake, he feels that there should be some connection between the two.
The basis for his judgment came from the Snake Marsh where the ancient Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West was located. According to Chen Ziyan's knowledge, the black-haired snake and the cock-crested snake are very closely related. The latter is likely to be a variant of the former, while the black-haired snake and the cock-crested snake are very close.
However, there are all superior bodies, and the most important one is the existence of the Snake Mother.
The size of the snake mother is displayed there, and as long as there are no snakes larger than her, they can all have something to do with her.
What's more, these two places have the She country in common, so it's not easy to distinguish them clearly.
Hearing this, Li Wu frowned slightly and looked around with some caution.
He is very dissatisfied with his current situation, which makes him feel like he will be in danger at any time.
But he could only think like this in his heart, but he couldn't do anything.
Because looking at the looks of Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou, we knew that these two people must continue to explore. No one would stop him if he wanted to leave, but as the supervisor here, how could he leave at this time?
If he does that, it is estimated that when this matter is over, it will be time for him to step down.
Chen Ziyan and the others did not stay too long in front of the ruins of the building. After confirming that there were no other valuable clues, they left here and continued to delve deeper.
This time they were not allowed to walk for too long, and soon another building ruins appeared in their field of vision, but this time it was not a single building, but a group of buildings directly appeared.
They look very similar to the previous ruins. They are both very simple rock structures with snake-like patterns carved at the bottom. The only difference is that the buildings are larger and smaller.
Because there was no danger in the ruins in front, Chen Ziyan and the others chose to split up this time to save time.
After all, there are dozens of ruins here. If you go to see them one by one, it will definitely take some time. Anyway, there is no danger, so it is better to spread out everyone.
Chen Ziyan started searching from the edge, but after searching several ruins, he couldn't find anything.
I don’t know whether it’s because they are too old or because of other reasons. Apart from some furniture and utensils made of the same stone, there is nothing else at all in these ruins.
"Master Chen, Master Fifth, come and take a look!"
And just when Chen Ziyan was about to go to the next ruins, he suddenly heard Li Wu's shout.
After hearing the sound, Chen Ziyan immediately walked towards the place where the sound came from.
There seemed to be dozens of houses in the ruins, but they were not far from each other, so he quickly arrived at where Li Wu was.
As soon as he walked into this dilapidated building, Chen Ziyan already noticed something was wrong.
If the buildings he just searched were residential buildings, then this place is already a building like an auditorium.
It can be seen from the incomplete walls that the building where Li Wu lived did not have compartments, but a whole hall. There were also several incomplete stone pillars in the hall, which were obviously structures that were once used for support. p>
After Chen Ziyan entered, he found that Wu Laogou had already arrived one step ahead and was standing with Li Wu in front of a relatively well-preserved wall.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan already knew in his mind that it was probably Li Wu who discovered the mural.
But after walking over, Chen Ziyan found that his guess was only half correct. There were indeed murals, but there were still some words carved on the walls.
Seeing Chen Ziyan arriving, Li Wu hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, do you know the words on this?"
You don’t need to ask to know that he and Wu Laogou probably don’t know each other, otherwise they wouldn’t have asked this in the first sentence.
Chen Ziyan did not answer immediately, but carefully looked at the fonts on the wall before replying: "You can recognize some of them, but not all of them."
Naturally, Chen Ziyan didn't recognize the writing on the wall in front of him. It was obvious at first glance that it was a very unorthodox thing, but there happened to be some of this in his inheritance, so he said he could recognize part of it. p>
"It's good to know each other." Li Wu was already very satisfied with this.
You know, Wu Laogou doesn’t even know anyone.
Wu Laogou also heard Chen Ziyan's words and looked at him with some surprise: "Can Xiaoyou Chen recognize the words on this?"
"I can only recognize a few," Chen Ziyan said.
Wu Laogou's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more.
However, he has secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to invite Chen Ziyan to his home after finishing the things here.
When the time comes, show him what I got from Qinling and see if he can translate it.
In the process of reminiscing, he discovered that if there was any difference between Zhang Dafo and the ruins of the ancient She Kingdom in the Qinling Mountains, it was that the other party had brought back all the murals and texts found there.
If he remembered correctly, the characters found in the Qinling Mountains were very similar to those on the wall in front of him, and they should have come from the same system.
"Master Chen, what font is this?" Li Wu asked at this time.
The writing on the wall in front of him was crooked and looked like oracle bone inscriptions, but it didn't quite look like it, so he was very curious.
Moreover, Li Wu also noticed that this so-called ancient She Kingdom hid many secrets, and wanted to make some insinuations about it.
"This is a very ancient font. According to legend, it came from the underground. It is most likely a product of ancient times." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said.
There is no record of the origin of this font in his inheritance. The senior who left the inheritance discovered this font in an underground ruins. After decades of research, he could only decipher it.
However, Chen Ziyan has some guesses about this. He thinks that this font is probably the text used by snake worshipers in ancient times, but there is no clear evidence.
There are almost zero records of snake worshipers. The things that have been handed down from that period, even on the surface, are only scattered myths and stories. It is not even sure whether they really exist, let alone those who live deep underground.
Snake worshippers.
If Chen Ziyan hadn't been able to confirm that the snake worshiper really existed, he wouldn't have thought about it.
"Ancient..." Upon hearing these two words, Wu Laogou immediately became silent.
That era is so far away from now that even the archaeological community cannot prove whether it really existed.
But he finally understood why he couldn't translate the words found in the Qinling Mountains.
To put it simply, it means that there is insufficient background. This is purely something that is out of reach.
In the entire Nine Sects, only Zhang Dafoye can play well. After all, the Zhang family is not inferior to Xiling in this aspect, and may even surpass it.
Although Li Wu was a little confused, he could see something from Wu Laogou's reaction and knew the value of the words on the wall in front of him.
Turning his eyes slightly, he urged: "Master Chen, let's quickly decipher what's on it and see if there is any useful content?"
After finishing speaking, he concentrated his attention and planned to remember every word Chen Ziyan said.
