Chapter Twelve Interpretation of the Human-Headed Turtle
Suddenly I had a very strange feeling. This picture looked like sleeping people, but they all looked like the glacier female corpses we dug out from the ice wall before, giving people a mysterious feeling.
If this is the case, then the people who painted these construction projects were not digging underground, but digging inside the glacier in the Qilian Mountains.
Such a vast project on the glaciers of the Qilian Mountains, let alone before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is definitely a miraculous project even now.
Even under the current conditions, it would be difficult to carry out such construction on the glaciers of the Qilian Mountains. What's more, it was different in the past. In that era, it was simply impossible to accomplish. What is the reason?
The ancients carried out such huge and difficult projects.
I raised my eyes to look at Lao Hei. At this time, his attention was completely focused on the picture of the turtle's back, and he didn't even notice that I was looking at him.
I noticed that Lao Hei was trying his best to show calmness at this time. Although his dark face did a lot to cover up his expression, I could still feel a trace of embarrassment in his movements.
.
Why is Lao Hei uneasy? What is he worried about? Is it just because he can't find a way out? But now is not the first time the problem arises. I didn't see him having such deep worries before.
At this moment, I suddenly remembered the different behaviors of everyone when they were digging the glacier woman's body in the ice crevice. Lang Qing, Mao Hou'er and we soldiers could only obey orders. Although we were curious about what Wang Gong did, we didn't know anything about it.
I don't have the qualifications, so I can only immerse myself in work, which doesn't matter.
But Lao Hei's behavior at that time was a little strange. He seemed to know something, but he didn't show the worry he is now.
Although I feel strange about this, I don't dare to ask easily at this time. The army has army rules, and you must not ask anything you shouldn't know. This rule is strictly enforced, even when facing a life or death crisis.
, I don’t dare to touch it easily.
I retracted my thoughts and continued to look at the turtle's back. The style of the third picture had suddenly changed. The motionless people who were originally buried deep in the ground all opened their eyes, opened their mouths, and let out a cry.
There was a silent cry, while the people on the ground looked horrified and staggered around. Some ran for their lives, some knelt down to pray, and some even tore their scalps, as if they were trying to rip out their brains.
The whole picture gives people a feeling of shaking, as if the earth is trembling.
Is it an earthquake?
My first thought when I saw this picture was that the ancients encountered earthquakes while carrying out engineering excavations. In those uncivilized and uncivilized times, earthquakes were like divine punishment, enough to cause everyone to panic.
But if you look closely, it's not the case. This earthquake seems to be caused by the people who have woken up underground.
I was thinking that if those people underground were really the same as the Glacier Corpse, were they really just waking up from their sleep? But no matter how they looked, they looked like they had been resurrected.
The idea of resurrecting ancient corpses buried deep in the ground made me shiver for a while. If we hadn't encountered that weird beetle bug, and followed Wang Gong's idea to dig out, would we have ended up freezing these things in the ground?
Can people who have been frozen for thousands of years come back to life?
I tried my best to deny such thoughts, but these thoughts rushed into my head like waves again and again.
When I saw the fourth picture, my heart suddenly shook. Deep underground, four chains were tightly trapped on a huge coffin.
The coffin, both in shape and style, is exactly the same as what we saw when we entered here.
But the difference is that the whole change of appearance is a dynamic one. The huge coffin seems to be shaking constantly. There is still this gap on the coffin. It is obvious that the coffin is not completely closed.
From the huge gap in the coffin, a huge claw-like thing was exposed, trying desperately to get out of the coffin.
The thing in the coffin looks specious, I'm not sure if it's a real claw, but it definitely doesn't look good.
Although there were only vague shadows exposed inside the coffin, I still had a shuddering feeling when I looked at it, as if the things inside the coffin made me feel scared.
What kind of terrifying thing is locked inside this huge coffin to be worthy of the power of a huge bronze chain as thick as a person?
Will the excavation of the glacier female body alert the terrifying existence in the coffin? If this is the case, has the huge coffin changed now?
I glanced uneasily across the river, and suddenly I had a feeling that there must be something terrifying hidden in the darkness on the other side that we had never seen before.
It is hidden in the darkness and will pounce on us at any time.
This thought made me shudder.
I immediately looked at the three of them. Lang Qing and Mao Houer were staring at the patterns on the turtle's back attentively, but the expressions on their faces were very calm. Apparently their mood swings were not as big as mine.
I guess they had seen it many times before I woke up, so they could control their emotions so well.
Lao Hei, on the other hand, seems to be focused, but I can tell that he is in a state of seeming detachment at this time, and his inner thoughts must be different from ours.
When I looked at the turtle's back again, on the coffin in the fourth painting, there was also a huge chain, which passed directly from the bottom of the coffin and extended into the dark and endless space.
The chain just broke and stretched on the turtle's back, and then it seemed to have entered an inexplicable space.
There, the chain exists in the form of a dotted line.
I don't know what this means. Does the lock extend into the stone wall, or does it really enter a place we can't understand?
I was puzzled, and in the end I could only shake my head and continue to look elsewhere.
But the scene on the turtle's back ends here, and there is nothing behind it.
It cannot be said that the content has completely disappeared, it is just that the words behind the pictures have been replaced. Perhaps these words are more detailed explanations, but those words are simply beyond our ability to interpret.
I wandered around the turtle's back again and found that although the information on it was complicated, there were only a few pictures and most of it was text.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The contents of those pictures only told us what we knew. As for the other things, we couldn't understand them at all. It was impossible to find the way out.
I looked at the other three people again. At this time, they were still concentrating on deleting the words one by one.
I thought to myself, you guys don’t know a few big characters more than I do, but now you’re pretending to be experts.
So I asked Lang Qing: "Old Wolf, what do you understand with just these two or five eyes?"
Without raising his eyes, Lang Qing told me seriously: "This giant turtle was from two thousand years ago. The text on it said that it recorded a huge secret."
I was stunned, thinking that I didn't realize that this guy could actually recognize so many strange characters on the turtle's back. I was really blind when I looked at him.
So I asked: "Did it say anything about the secret?"
Lang Qing nodded and said, "Yes, according to the written records here, your father's surname may be Lang."
I slapped him away and said, "You're a grandson, how long has it been since this happened, and you're still so fucking out of tune."
Lang Qing moved very quickly, and my slap didn't even touch a single hair on his face. I was so angry that I didn't hit him anywhere. I thought to myself that this kid was too damn stubborn. I wasn't killed by him in the water just now.
What a blessing.
I was about to step forward to add a kick, but Lao Hei stopped me with a sullen face: "Don't make trouble, I have something to tell you."
I was stunned after hearing this. Looking at Lao Hei's expression, it didn't look like he was joking. Moreover, he and Lang Qing, a no-nonsense person, have completely different personalities. They would not make fun of us in this situation.
.
At the same time, Lang Qing and Mao Houer also stared at him.
Lao Hei took a few deep breaths, hesitated and said: "According to the confidentiality regulations, you are not supposed to know the following situation. But now the situation is special. It is very likely that our brothers will not be able to get out alive. You are all with me.
Brothers who are stirring the rice in the horse's spoon, I can't let you die here without any reason."
Although Lao Hei usually speaks wildly, he basically sticks to his comrades in three sentences, and always speaks with Mao Xuan, but this time it was different, there was even a bit more recklessness in his words.
I can't help but wonder, this doesn't look like Lao Hei's style. When did he change so much?
After thinking about it for a while, I thought that this might be related to what we saw on the back of the human-headed turtle.
