As we walked along the mark, the surrounding sand figurines became sparse, and some large gaps could accommodate three people passing through at the same time.
I was walking in the middle of the team, and I clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this moment.
The team members' previous fear of the sand figurines has now been replaced by various suspicions.
After walking side by side for a while, with teammates covering both sides, the fat man gradually became bolder, his hands and feet began to become frizzy, and he hit the sand warriors along the way with the butt of his gun several times.
The fat man said, Huh? Why are everything here hollow? I cracked three hollow "eggs" in a row.
I asked him to restrain himself and not think that he could act recklessly just because he had the corpse suppressing talisman. The talismans were not blown by the strong wind, so each one had to be used sparingly. It was too late and there was no such condition to draw them now.
But I also find it strange. I used to think that each sand figurine was stuffed with a corpse. So many sand figurines formed an amazing burial pit. It seems that it is very difficult for a small border country to assemble such a huge and magnificent array. The battle still contains a lot of water. Or maybe this corpse array isn't so vicious yet?
Before she could think about it carefully, Avril, who had been leading the way, suddenly stopped and said that she had found the source of the mark!
The final mark was carved on a stone platform. It was surrounded by empty space and about ten meters away from the nearest sand figurine, forming an arc-shaped vacuum zone.
This stone platform is about one meter high, square and spacious enough for us all to stand on it.
I walked closer and found that there were carved patterns and words around the stone platform, which was very rare.
Looking carefully at the surface of the stone platform, we found that there were traces of two piers on the stone platform where objects had been placed. It seemed that two sand figurines were once placed here, but the sand figurines above were missing. Now they were empty, leaving only two small ones. Pinch loose sand.
I find it very strange, why are sand figurines so special that they need to be placed on a stone platform?
Boss Sun on the side was very disappointed and felt that he had been completely fooled. There was no visible weapon here, not even half of the jade hair could be seen.
"Is there any mistake? I asked Miss Ai, are you sure where the mark ends? Why can't I even smell the smell of the baby?"
Avril nodded solemnly, with a dissatisfied expression on her face: "This is not an elderly activity square. Do you think it is necessary for me to lead everyone in circles?"
Is the senior activity square okay? These words directly satirized Boss Sun's heart.
The fat man laughed heartily and screamed with joy. Then he squatted on the ground and said to me: "Old Cao, is there some incident recorded in this? And can you translate this word for everyone?"
There are four patterns carved around the stone platform, and there are written records below each pattern.
This pile of ancient characters is simply a ghost symbol to them, and they can only rely on me to try to decipher it.
I rubbed my forehead. To be honest, this job was not easy. It was in the same form as the bronze inscriptions (Zhong Dingwen) found on the stone tablet before.
The text on the previous stone tablet was more like a terrible prophecy: flying rocks from the sky will open the gate of hell and lead to the golden road in the sky. When the army of the King of Anger is resurrected, countless servants of the Desert God of Death will become a golden ocean!
To a certain extent, half of this terrible prophecy has been realized. We have found the army phalanx buried in the ground by King Ai, and we have experienced the resurrection of sand figurines. Although we blocked it in time, when we think about the entire sand The phalanx of terracotta warriors collectively breaks out of their shells and revives, and countless black and white evils fill the bottom of the sea of clouds. What a terrifying and horrifying scene it will be.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that the prophecy on the stone tablet seemed not so accurate, because no matter how many black and white there were, they would never form a golden ocean.
Is it possible that there is something hidden in this?
With a lot of confusion, I immediately devoted myself to the translation work. I hope to discover the true meaning of the golden ocean in it.
After I started meditating, everyone suddenly fell silent. I resented interruptions when I was thinking. They followed me to look at the pictures and text, but no one asked questions or made idle remarks.
The first picture depicts a war scene. King Ai's army went to war with another group of people dressed in strange clothes. King Ai's opponent was obviously weak in strength, and the weapons and equipment were not fully equipped at all. The battlefield was a one-sided situation.
Although this strangely-dressed army seemed to be put together temporarily, the pattern depicts them resisting desperately, and not one of them retreated.
No matter in ancient times or today, no matter what dynasty or era, wars are initiated for the purpose of plundering resources. The nature of nature is that the weak eat the strong. In the world that we consider ourselves civilized, we just use more terms and excuses to beautify the behavior of plundering. That’s all.
At that time, the location of the ancient Dian Kingdom was extremely southerly. Since ancient times, the southern edge has been called the barbarian zone. The fundamental reason why it was called barbarian was that it was prone to fierce fighting and barbaric invasion.
A tribe that doesn't pay attention to keeping a low profile and prudent production, what do they rely on to survive? Even if there are flocks of sheep and horses, how can they live their lives relying on mutton and horse meat? Without plunder, they couldn't even produce basic earthenware pots, let alone cook soup, cook food, and wear clothes to keep warm.
Thousands of years ago, the ancient Dian Kingdom had a unique location, and there were several large nomadic tribes further to the southwest.
Piranhas eat small fish, gar eat piranhas.
These tribes were like piranhas, while the ancient Dian Kingdom played the role of gar.
I estimated that this picture was a description of the ancient Dian Kingdom's annexation of surrounding tribes, so I didn't rush to translate the following text.
Moving on to the second picture, I found that the wind in this picture changed suddenly, and the fighting situation between the two armies disappeared. What was depicted was that the ancient Dian army had already trampled the camp, with corpses littering the field behind them.
The soldiers of the ancient Dian Kingdom excitedly rushed into the camp to plunder the spoils. However, many long-winged insects suddenly emerged from the trampled tribal camp. None of the soldiers who entered came out again, but many fluffy insects wearing shoulder armor were revealed. The white arms, these waving arms are very detailed. Although the face of the owner of the arms cannot be seen, you can already imagine the image of the evil ghost sealed in the hell cage baring his teeth and claws.
The fat man couldn't understand the words below, but he could understand the meaning of the picture.
He gasped and said, "Why are these insects so powerful? No, isn't this painting the same thing I saw? Old Sun, take a quick look, is it the same?"
Boss Sun was already sweating profusely, and he just heard him say: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with the system! Brother Cao, you'd better hurry up and read what's written below. Those soldiers turned into human beings and ghosts in the blink of an eye. Yes?"
There are about six lines of text on it, and each line has a different number of words. When combined, it probably means: Although King Ang won the battle, his elite troops suffered an unprecedented blow. The soldiers who rushed into the tent accidentally released a kind of insect. , later they called this kind of bug "Huigong". Without exception, all the soldiers who came into contact with "Huigong" turned into white-haired monsters. They killed each other without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy.
I quickly held the table to look at the next picture, and sure enough, the next picture showed guys with white arms rushing out of the tent. They looked like zombies, turning around and rushing toward their own people.
The fighting scene between the two sides was very brutal. The soldiers who had been eroded by the tribute seemed to have lost their sense of pain. The long swords piercing their bodies could not stop their crazy attack. Only cutting off their heads could stop their crazy behavior.
The soldiers who had been eroded by Gong were covered with long white hair. They did not use weapons, but used extremely long nails to scratch thorns as a means of attack. You can clearly see in the picture that the long nails penetrated the ancient Dian. The throat of a Chinese soldier.
Human nails grow very slowly. Normally, it only takes a month to grow 1.6 centimeters. I am very curious about the magic power of this Gong, which can make human nails grow crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Fortunately, the number of vanguard troops who rushed into the camp was not large, but King Ai still cut off all the heads of these "mutated" soldiers at a heavy price.
The last picture is divided into two parts. The first half is full of decapitated bodies. The extension of the picture is a man standing in a tall chariot with a majestic expression. He waves his palm and points to the back of the tribe's tent. This man's shape is similar to The shape of the bronze statue is very similar. If you guessed correctly, it should be the King of Anger.
The following written records also confirmed my guess. The general meaning is that King Ai was shocked by the group of magical long-winged flying insects in front of him, and he ordered that all these magical insects be captured back to the ancient Dian Kingdom.
However, the second half of the picture is even weirder. A row of people dressed as soldiers from the ancient Dian Kingdom are holding containers that look very much like glassware in their hands. Each container contains a Gong.
Seeing such an advanced container, the fat man couldn't help shouting to me: "This...isn't this a glass jar? It's so damn new! How could there be glass at that time?"
I was equally surprised, but I felt that things would definitely not be that simple. The reality is often like this. The more difficult to understand, the more likely things will happen!
I asked the fat man not to ask questions yet, and then read on!
Corresponding to the soldiers of the ancient Dian Kingdom holding "glass jars", in front of them were a group of people who were buried in the soil with only their heads exposed. Judging from the sad expressions, they were probably captured slaves. The soldiers pointed the mouth of the container at the slaves' mouths fiercely. Pour it down hard.
This completes the four patterns on the front, back, left and right. The text of the last two pictures is:
After mastering a large amount of tribute, King Ai continued to use slaves for human experiments. He wanted to cultivate "mutated monsters" who were invulnerable, immortal and dedicated to protecting the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom.
Although there are no pictures, the text records that King Anger's experiment was finally successful. The previous "mutants" with white-haired arms that killed each other were only half-finished products. This kind of bug was called "Gong". It is bitten by the predecessor of the Dragon-horned Red-tailed Moth. The biggest difference is that the arms will be covered with long white hairs, making it an unconscious walking zombie!
