Shen Yuan said nothing, and kept staring at this strange-looking thing, somewhat fascinated.
Seeing that he ignored me, I didn't ask for trouble. Looking around, I saw that the stalagmites had almost collapsed, but there were still about a few hundred scattered ones standing in place. Although there were still some in number, compared to before,
These few hundred roots can be ignored, and the road in front of the passage is all exposed. This maze was finally solved by Shen Yuan. Although I finally felt unhappy with him, I argued with him, laughed at his half-heartedness, and dropped the chain at the critical moment, but
I still agree with his ability from the bottom of my heart.
"Tai Yan Monument..."
After a long while, Shen Yuancai murmured: "It turns out this is the Taiyan Monument..."
"What……"
I was shocked by Shen Yuan's words. I pointed at the crooked thing and said, "This is also a Taiyan stele! A Taiyan stele made of gold!"
Shen Yuan kept frowning, with an expression that seemed uncertain, but in the end he nodded.
I looked at Shen Yuan doubtfully, very confused. Shouldn't he know about the Taiyan Monument? He also said that his sect had retained the bamboo slips recording the Taiyan Monument, but now his expression seemed uncertain. In addition, Taiyan
Shouldn't the Yan Monument be a monument? The thing in front of me, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a monument. The only thing is that under the reflection of the Wolf Fang flashlight, it shines just like the Tai Yan Monument I saw for the first time.
With golden light.
I stepped forward to take a closer look, and there were words there. The words at the top made me stunned for a moment. They were the three words "Taiyan Stele" carved in small seals, and the Taiyan Stele that I saw when I opened the door.
It's exactly the same as the one on it. No wonder Shen Yuanhui said it was the Taiyan Monument.
"Where did this Taiyan stele come from?" I asked Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan said: "The stalagmite inscribed with "Early Landing on the Other Shore" cracked, and the Taiyan Monument was exposed."
"oh……"
I rubbed my chin and said, "So the Taiyan Stele is hidden in the stalagmite, right! Why is this Taiyan Stele different from the one with the door open?"
Shen Yuan shook his head, saying that he didn't know either.
"That's not right!"
I wondered: "Didn't you say that your sect has a bamboo slip recording the Taiyan Stele? How could you not know that? You couldn't be lying to me!"
"Boss Ye, there are indeed bamboo slips, but the records on them are not detailed."
"Then what exactly was written?" I asked.
Shen Yuan thought about it
He said at once: "Let me tell you this, there is only one bamboo slip recording the Taiyan Stele."
One scroll! I quickly understood what Shen Yuan meant. One scroll of ancient bamboo slips can contain about thirty characters. Since archaeological discovery, the largest scroll has only more than forty characters.
"Historical Records" records that Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng, who was almost fifty years old, had to review one hundred and twenty kilograms of documents every day. It sounds scary, but in fact, the one hundred and twenty kilograms at that time was only equivalent to sixty kilograms today.
Jin, after analysis and calculation, these sixty kilograms of bamboo slips can only record about 30,000 to 50,000 words. Therefore, Shen Yuan's mere scroll of bamboo slips, even if he uses classical Chinese to simplify unnecessary words, cannot record much content.
"Why is there only one volume?" I asked.
Shen Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can only guess. Maybe after I sent that scroll, the matter was exposed, or the risk may be too great. If found out, I would be beheaded at best, or my entire family would be wiped out at worst. I don't want to risk it again."
Risk, I only know that there is only one bamboo slip recorded on the Taiyan Stele, which records the origin of the Taiyan Stele from meteorites, the refinement of seven Taiyan Steles in order to avoid the way of heaven, and a picture of a Taiyan Stele.
The picture of the stele is the same as the one we saw when we opened the door. Now it seems that the seven Taiyan stele have different shapes."
"No matter how different they are, different is better. Putting them together into a set with different shapes will make them more ornamental and sell for more money."
I didn't worry about the appearance, and said indifferently: "What is written on this Taiyan monument? Is it the same as the one that opened the door?"
Shen Yuan said: "The content is the same, but the shape is different. The purpose is to avoid the external Great Evolution Number and run your own Tai Evolution Number."
"Right."
I suddenly remembered something very important and said to Shen Yuan: "What on earth are the stars above my head? Why did they disappear with a bang after they fell?"
"Not sure."
Shen Yuan said: "At least one thing is certain, Boss Ye, those stars are definitely not the valuable pearls you imagined, they are just part of the formation. Since the maze has been broken, there is no need for us to know, and there is no way to find the root.
Let’s get to the bottom of it.”
I felt disappointed in my heart. It turned out that it was not an astrolabe made of pearls. "It's gone... uncle, what a pity... ugh..."
Wu Zijin squatted beside the Taiyan Monument and said, "This passage is very short."
"How did you know?"
Shale asked.
Wu Zijin pointed to the bottom of the Taiyan Monument and said: "The lines on it are very short and there are few nodes. I remember when I opened the door, Grandpa Shen said that this line represents the route map of this passage."
"Okay, everyone."
Shen Yuan's frown relaxed a little, and he said: "Now that the maze has been cracked, we should continue to set off and see what is at the other end of the passage!"
I pushed the Taiyan Monument hard, but there was no movement at all. I could only sigh and said, "Okay, let's go!"
The stalagmite forest collapsed, the maze was broken, and the passage finally became clear. A group of five people, plus a monkey, slowly moved forward in the passage again.
The road was very difficult to walk, and the ground was full of rubble after the stalagmites collapsed. I pointed to the intact stalagmites next to me and asked Shen Yuan: "Why is there still a part that has not collapsed? Is there any mystery? Maybe it's like the one who landed on the other side early.
It’s like a stalagmite, there’s some valuable treasure inside, why don’t you smash it open and take a look!”
Shen Yuan thought for a while and said: "If I guessed correctly, there are still more than 700 stalagmites left, corresponding to the more than 700 stars in the White Tiger Seven Constellations in the west. Now that the maze has been cracked, as for those
I don't care if there is any mystery in the stalagmites. According to my guess, there shouldn't be any. Otherwise, Boss Ye, you can smash one open and take a look at it, so you can rest assured. Of course, I can't guarantee whether there will be any.
Good things happen."
"No, no need."
I carefully recognized Shen Yuan's expression. He was very serious and didn't look like he was lying. I quickly waved my hand and said, "I'm just joking. Don't waste time. Let's go quickly."
Half an hour later, the ground became flat, with no gravel or stalagmites, and the front was even more open. We finally walked out of the stalagmite forest, and the passage gradually became brighter, with the swaying light of countless whale oils.
When they entered the stalagmite forest, Shale and Wu Zijin poured a lot of water into the copper pipes. The water spread along the copper pipes, submerging the wicks in the copper pipes, darkening the passage and highlighting the stars above their heads.
Holding the Langya flashlight, the flashlight in my hand has a strong light, but I have an inexplicable feeling that the dazzling white light emitted is cold and cold, which makes me very uncomfortable. However, the wicks burning whale oil each emit a small, swaying fiery red light.
The light spots gave me a sense of warmth in my heart. I unconsciously took a bigger step and walked impatiently towards the direction of the lights.
