Seeing everyone looking at him, Peng Jinsheng rolled his eyes, stroking his goatee and explained that he fled into a mountain to avoid his enemies.
Enemies blocked him at the mountain pass for a whole month. Desperate, Peng Jinsheng had no choice but to find another way out, but by chance he discovered an ancient tomb.
When he entered it, he found that the tomb had been climbed first.
Peng Jinsheng's flesh was so painful that he cursed at his mother, but he still had the courage to dig in.
In the tomb, he saw countless corpses, and it seemed that everyone who came in died inside.
The clothes of this group of people are very strange. Peng Jinsheng has been traveling in the world for many years, but he has never seen such clothes. Peng Jinsheng tried his best to think about it, but he couldn't guess which sect they belonged to.
Those people were covered in blood, and their bodies were covered with wounds caused by sharp weapons, every one of which was fatal.
Peng Jinsheng was surprised. Although these people may have solved most of the mechanisms, but now they are all dead, he is afraid that there is something terrible in the tomb.
Now that he has no way to escape, he might as well take shelter in this ancient tomb. Even if the group of people outside pursues them, they can use the mechanism here to block them for a while.
Peng Jinsheng had made up his mind, and after confirming that there was no danger nearby, he went to search for money and food on the corpses.
While he was searching, he suddenly heard a baby crying. In the basket behind a tomb robber, there was actually a half-year-old baby boy lying, with a pair of bright and prosperous arms that seemed to be shining.
Peng Jinsheng could tell at a glance that this baby boy was no ordinary child!
I don’t know where this group of tomb robbers stole the children. Now all the children are here. If it were not for Peng Jinsuo, they might also die in this ancient tomb.
Looking at the baby boy's unusual eyes, Peng Jinsheng's heart moved.
He has no children in his life, and now in a desperate situation, God has given him a great opportunity.
On the baby boy's neck, Peng Jinsheng saw a jade pendant, which may be the only clue to the identity of this group of people and the baby boy.
Peng Jinsheng took away the baby boy and the jade token, and took him as his disciple, naming him Liang Qiusheng.
"Liang is the surname of Pindao who lost his wife. Giving him the surname Liang is also a thought." A trace of nostalgia flashed in Peng Jinsheng's eyes, and then he added: "I have been searching for so many years, but I have found nothing. Then The group of people seems to be non-existent, and there are no clues at all. I came here with Mr. Huo this time to solve the mystery of this silly boy’s identity."
After listening to Peng Jinsheng's words, everyone's eyes towards Liang Qiusheng changed obviously.
All along, I thought this honest and honest guy was just an inconspicuous apprentice, but I didn't expect him to have such a life experience.
Mr. Li glanced at his grandfather and saw that he had no reaction, so he asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"
"If this Liang Qiusheng is really as he said, why should he make it known to everyone?" Grandpa patted Mr. Li on the shoulder, "This fake Taoist priest is far more difficult to deal with than you and I imagined."
"But that jade token..." Mr. Li was a little confused, but saw that his grandfather didn't want to continue talking.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Grandpa was the first to walk to the stone door and carefully studied the strange symbols on it.
"The symbols don't look like there are no traces at all, some are very close to oracle bones or even older."
"It's not just Oracle." Xu Zixue actually spoke.
"Look at these symbols, they look very much like the cuneiform script of Sumer, but these ones are more similar to the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt and the seals of ancient India."
"According to your opinion, this is not only the Chinese civilization, but also the common birthplace of several ancient civilizations?" Chu Yuxuan also came over.
"It can't be said to be the birthplace, but it must be related." Huo Yuanshan, "As we all know, there are five birthplaces of human civilization up to now, namely ancient Babylon in 5500 BC, ancient Egypt in 5450 BC, and 3100 BC. Ancient India from 800 BC to 146 BC, ancient Greece from 800 BC to 146 BC, and our Chinese civilization. These are the birthplaces of the five major civilizations recognized in the world. But this place makes me think that these civilizations may have separated from the same civilization. It continues..."
After a pause, Huo Yuanshan continued, "I am slightly interested in ancient texts from various countries. Although I don't know much about them, I can definitely tell that several ancient texts of later generations seem to be more or less influenced by them."
"The earth has existed for billions of years. From the extinction of the dinosaurs to the emergence of humans, it was only tens of millions of years. In the time before that, the earth may have experienced the birth and destruction of several civilizations." Chu Yuxuan has been abroad. , people with higher education, so they know more things than others.
"If this is really the case, then we will really be famous throughout the ages!" Peng Jinsheng touched his goatee, his eyes gleaming. "Such a relic, any item found in it can be considered world-shattering!"
"This seems to be a mechanism." Mr. Li discovered something strange on the stone door.
In the middle and lower part of the door, there are three complex large stone plates carved on it, and these three stone plates can actually rotate!
Every time it is turned at an angle, the lines on the stone plate form different patterns with the surrounding reliefs.
"There is a line of words here." Xu Zixue pointed to several symbols above the three stone plates.
"One line?"
Everyone looked at her.
Xu Zixue did not speak, but stretched out her hand to touch the runes, muttering to herself, "Choose, enter, you can... you can choose to enter... no, it should be, only the selected people can enter!"
Although he didn't know why the taciturn Xu Zixue could understand these symbols, Mr. Li still asked uncertainly, "How do you know?"
"Like Mr. Huo, I also like to study ancient characters." Xu Zixue did not stop on this topic, but said to everyone: "Maybe this place is cursed, and only specific people can come in."
"A specific person?" Everyone looked at Xu Zixue.
"Maybe not." Grandpa pointed to the sacrificial stone basin not far away and said, "Do you still remember the stone carvings on it? Those sacrificial offerings are for entering here."
"Are you saying that if you want to get in, you have to offer sacrifices?" Huo Yuanshan's eyes narrowed.
The priest needs to burn a living person, and if he really wants to do that, he will not have any hesitation.
"Damn it, who wants to go in and be a roast chicken?" Hong Laojiu stared, "I won't let my own brothers go in and die."
"Maybe it's not necessary." Grandpa shook his head, "Have you noticed that although the corpses in the stone basin were burned, they were not burned thoroughly. Many corpses only burned part of their limbs, and most of the corpses were preserved. Come down."
"The Germans once offered sacrifices, but that sacrifice was interrupted. We just need to burn these corpses."
"I think there is no need for any sacrifice." Xu Zixue said, "those" Germans didn't know how to get in, so they chose to sacrifice. "
"You mean, you know how to open the stone door?" Chu Yuxuan asked.
Xu Zixue did not speak, but stretched out her hand to touch the strange symbols on the stone door, and said word by word: "Every 370 years, God will come to the temple, select God's messengers, and grant them eternal life and strength."
"God?" Everyone was a little surprised by the content on the stone door.
"Is there really a god?" Someone in the team couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord..." Peng Jinsheng chanted the secret number.
"I don't care about demons and demons. Stop talking nonsense and quickly tell me how to get in!" Hong Laojiu licked his lips, as if he couldn't wait to go in and plunder the property inside.
"It's useless to be anxious." Xu Zixue said coldly, "These three disks are a special mechanism, representing the day, month, and year respectively."
"The dense lines around them seem messy, but they actually hide a secret. Each groove inside the fine lines pulls the mechanism inside the stone door. When the stone plate rotates to different angles, the lines on it and the lines on the stone door are combined into different forms. Information."
"Just turn it to the right time and the door will open!"
"So, how can we get the right time?" Chu Yuxuan said.
Xu Zixue pointed to Shimen and said, "It's very simple."
"The date on this is the 14th year of Wanli of Ming Shenzong, which is 1586 AD. If my guess is correct, this is the last time the stone gate was opened."
"No, you have also noticed the corpses outside. Putting aside the ones from afar, there have been several groups of Germans. These people have only been active for more than ten years. How can you guarantee that? The date above has not been changed?" Mr. Li raised his objection.
"Ha..." Xu Zixue smiled contemptuously, looking at the sacrificial plate behind him and said, "It's useless no matter how many people come, they don't understand anything at all, so they can only die in vain."
"Listening to what you mean, you seem to be very sure..." Grandpa said meaningfully.
Mr. Li also felt that although Xu Zixue was silent along the way, she seemed to know this place very well. Even though she had experienced so many strange events before, she did not show any panic.
At this time, Mr. Li noticed another terrible problem.
Originally, this time, the number and power of the several groups were about the same, but unknowingly, the number of people present had changed dramatically.
Those members of the Bai family were killed when they encountered the mantis monster and the avalanche.
This time, grandpa brought along three people, Mr. Li and his buddy Chen Ze, and there was still a female leader from the Fang family. She looked young, but her skills were pretty good.
Chu Yuxuan brought many elite members of the Chu family, but now only one is left.
Peng Jinsheng and his apprentice Liang Qiusheng mingled with Huo Yuanshan's team. Now, there are only seven people left on their side.
From the beginning to the end, Hong Laojiu acted like he was the best in the world. There were still seven or eight legs under his hands.
As for Xu Zixue's group, there were seventeen people in total at the beginning.
From the time they entered the mountain until now, she had only lost three of her men, and a few others were slightly injured.
Even so, her strength is still at the upper hand.
The previous situation caused heavy losses to all parties, but Xu Zixue's people did not have much impact.
It can be seen that the people she brought with her were not simple things.
But these are not the main ones. What worries Mr. Li the most is that Xu Zixue can actually understand the complicated runes on the stone gate.
Speaking of which, Mr. Li can be regarded as one of the top figures in the industry. He knows almost everyone in the circle, but he has never seen this Xu Zixue, nor has he heard any rumors about it.
This group of people seemed to appear suddenly without any traces. Thinking of this, Mr. Li couldn't help but remember those people who died in the tomb that Peng Jinsheng mentioned before.
"Could it be...that there is some relationship between the two..."
