Chapter 498 Snake Patterns and Murals

Although Gutongjing was mentioned, Chen Ziyan did not intend to speak out about himself.

You must know that Gutongjing is a mysterious place that is only known by its name even to the members of the Nine Schools. It is inappropriate for him to mention too much as an outsider, and it will easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Throwing bricks to attract jade, this step is enough.

"It's a pity." Wu Laogou was not surprised by this answer, but was a little regretful.

He is now basically sure that Gu Tongjing hides a shocking secret, but he has no chance to see it.

One reason is that the location of Gutongjing is very special, and there is no way to find it without a corresponding method, and the other reason is that Zhang Dafo master is very close to that place, and Wu Laogou doesn't want to touch this brow.

After a little emotion, Old Dog Wu temporarily put the matter aside and said, "Let's go, let's go ahead and have a look."

Although there are many questions in my mind, they cannot be solved by just thinking about them. Instead of wasting time because of this, I might as well spend my time exploring this underground space, maybe I can find something.

Chen Ziyan nodded slightly, and walked forward very simply.

He also wanted to figure out what was going on in this underground space.

Seeing that both of them started to move, Li Wu and the others did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly followed.

The group of people just left the snake bone land behind them and headed towards the unknown darkness.

After walking like this for nearly ten minutes, the unchanging scene around him finally changed.

The ruins of a dilapidated building appeared in front of them.

It can be seen from the remaining parts that this is a product completely piled up of rocks.

"This style is old enough!" Li Wu said, looking at the ruins in front of him.

Although he doesn't have much research on ancient buildings, he also knows that this type of building is definitely a product of a long time ago.

Chen Ziyan nodded: "At least it must be in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties."

Although there is only a small part of this building left, it is not difficult to see that it is not an underground palace or the like, but a very ordinary mansion.

On the contrary, Old Dog Wu's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said: "I have seen a similar building in the ruins of that country."

"Oh?" Chen Ziyan looked at him and asked curiously, "Master Wu, are you sure?"

It's not that he doesn't believe in Old Dog Wu, but that there is nothing special about the building in front of him except for its simple style, and he can only roughly infer a specific age, as for the style, there is no way to distinguish it.

Now that Old Dog Wu is saying so categorically that he is like She Guo, he must give a reasonable reason.

"Look here." Wu Laogou also understood this truth, and after Chen Ziyan's voice fell, he shone the flashlight on the bottom of the ruins.

Most of the ruins of this building are the lower part, so the bottom of the wall is still intact.

Chen Ziyan looked along the light, only to find that the bottom row of stone bricks on the wall was engraved with a serpentine pattern.

Obviously, this is the root of Wu Laogou's inference.

Chen Ziyan didn't go to Wu Laogou to verify his guess, but walked directly to the ruined wall, squatted down and observed the snake-shaped pattern at a close distance.

But it is a pity that these lines can only show the characteristic of the snake shape, and nothing else is reflected, and it is impossible to tell which period it came from.

"Fifth Master, what period do you think She Kingdom was in?" Li Wu asked.

He is not interested in observing those lines at close range, so he might as well ask directly if he has that skill.

"It's hard to say. This ancient country is too mysterious, and there are very few historical materials left. 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 country in the Qinling Mountains, he wouldn't even have known such an ancient country existed.

You must know that the people who do their business are not only familiar with the history, but they are also experts. Even he has never heard of the ancient country, so one can imagine how mysterious it must be.

"Fifth Lord, tell me about your original discovery. If there is no accident, there should be some connection with Gu Sheguo." Chen Ziyan stood up and asked directly.

He didn't believe that Old Dog Wu and the others didn't find anything in Qinling. They didn't know the specific period of She Kingdom's existence, so they should know something else.

Wu Laogou didn't give a shit, and said after hearing the words: "There were a lot of discoveries at that time, but there were not many about Sheguo. In the ruins we discovered, the people of Sheguo had a crazy worship of snakes, but they worshiped snakes. It is a very contradictory country to eat snakes and eat snakes at the same time.”

It was related to the secrets of the Qinling Mountains. Although Wu Laogou answered very simply, he did not tell all the discoveries.

I just picked some content that is helpful to this operation, and briefly talked about it.

"Worshiping snakes but eating snakes is indeed a bit contradictory." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly, but it was not too difficult to understand.

After all, in the age too long, it is not surprising that there are any bizarre things.

"However, no black-haired snake appeared in that site." Wu Laogou added.

This is also the main reason why he failed to connect them in the first place. If there were black-haired snakes on the Qinling Mountains, he would connect the two places without going down here.

"Have other snakes appeared?" Chen Ziyan asked.

He remembered Zhu Jiuyin that Wu Xie met, and wondered if Wu Laogou and the others had also appeared there.

Although in the original plot, Zhu Jiuyin might be a manifestation of fear, Chen Ziyan felt that it was not the case.

"I've met it before. It's a strange snake with an extremely terrifying size. It takes four or five people to hug it." Wu Laogou took a deep look at Chen Ziyan and said.

From this question, he knew that Chen Ziyan knew nothing less than him.

People who have not entered the deepest part of that kind of strange snake have no way of knowing, because there is no room for it to move above.

"My lords, is there such a snake here?" Li Wu asked suddenly, thinking of the giant snake bone he saw just now.

He didn't want to meet that kind of behemoth, one or two would be fine, but if there were more than one, he would definitely die.

"That's really hard to say." Chen Ziyan pondered slightly, touching his chin and said.

He didn't lie to Li Wu, but he was really not sure if there would be Zhu Jiuyin here.

Although he hasn't figured out whether there is any relationship between Zhu Jiuyin and the black-haired snake, he feels that there should be some kind of connection between them.

The basis for his judgment is that he came from the Snake Marsh where the Queen Mother of the West was located. According to Chen Ziyan's knowledge, the black-haired snake and the cockscombed snake are very closely related. But there are upper bodies, the most important thing is the existence of the snake mother.

The size of the snake mother is there, as long as there is no snake that exceeds it, it can be related to it.

What's more, these two places also have the commonality of She country, so it's not easy to distinguish them clearly.

Hearing this, Li Wu frowned slightly, and looked around warily.

He is very dissatisfied with the current situation, which makes him feel that 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 from the looks of Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou, it was clear that these two would definitely continue to explore. No one stopped him if he wanted to leave, but as the supervisor here, how could he leave at this time.

If he did that, it is estimated that when this matter is over, it will be time for him to step down.

Chen Ziyan and the others didn't stay in front of the ruins for too long. After confirming that there were no other valuable clues, they left here and continued to go deeper.

This time they didn't let them go for too long, and soon another building ruin appeared in the field of vision, but this time it was not a single building, but a group of buildings directly appeared.

It looks similar to the previous ruins. They are all very simple rock structures, and they are all engraved with serpentine patterns at the bottom. The only difference is that the buildings are different in size.

Because there was no danger in the ruins ahead, Chen Ziyan and the others chose to split up this time to save time.

After all, there are dozens of ruins here, and it would take some time to look at them one by one. Anyway, there is no danger, so it is better to disperse all the people.

Chen Ziyan started searching from the edge, but searched several ruins in succession, but failed to find anything.

I don't know if it's because it's too old, or because of other reasons, except for some furniture and utensils of the same stone, there are nothing else in these ruins.

"Master Chen, Master Fifth, come and have a look!"

And just as Chen Ziyan was about to go to the next ruin, 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 the distance between them was not far, so he quickly arrived at where Li Wu was.

As soon as he walked into this dilapidated building, Chen Ziyan already noticed that something was wrong.

If the buildings he had just searched for were residential buildings, then this place was already a building like an auditorium.

From the incomplete walls, it can be seen that the building where Li Wu lived did not have compartments, but a whole hall. There are still several incomplete stone pillars in the hall, which are obviously used to support the structure.

After Chen Ziyan went in, he found that Old Dog Wu had already arrived one step ahead, and was standing with Li Wu in front of a wall that was still intact.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan already had an idea in his mind. It was probably Li Wu who discovered the murals and the like.

But after walking over, Chen Ziyan found that his guess was only half right. There were indeed murals, but there were still some words carved on the wall.

Seeing Chen Ziyan arriving, Li Wu hurriedly said, "Master Chen, do you know the words on it?"

You don't need to ask, you know, 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 looked carefully at the writing on the wall before replying: "I can recognize some of them, but not all of them."

Naturally, Chen Ziyan didn't know the writing on the wall in front of him. It was obvious at first glance that this thing was something out of the ordinary, but there happened to be some things in this aspect in his inheritance, so he said he could recognize some of it.

"It's good if we can get to know each other." Li Wu was already very satisfied with this.

You must know that Old Dog Wu doesn't even know any of them.

Wu Laogou also heard Chen Ziyan's words, and looked at him in surprise: "Chen Xiaoyou can recognize the words on it?"

"I can only recognize some of them," Chen Ziyan said.

Wu Laogou's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything more.

However, he had secretly made up his mind to find an opportunity to invite Chen Ziyan to his house as a guest after finishing the business here.

When the time comes, show him what you got from Qin Ling, and see if he can translate it.

In the process of reminiscing, he found that if there is any difference between Master Zhang and the ruins of the ancient She Kingdom in the Qinling Mountains, it is that the other party brought back all the murals and texts found there.

If he remembers correctly, the characters found in Qinling are very similar to those on the wall in front of him, and should 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, it 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 country hid many secrets, and wanted to make a side note of it.

"This is a very ancient font. According to legend, it came from underground, and it is most likely a product of ancient times." Chen Ziyan said after thinking about it.

There is no record of the origin of this font in his inheritance. The predecessor who left the inheritance discovered this font in an underground ruins. After decades of research, he only deciphered a little bit.

However, Chen Ziyan has some guesses about this. He thinks that this type of font is likely to be the characters used by the snake worshipers in ancient times, but there is no clear evidence.

The records about snake worshipers are almost equal to zero. The things that have been handed down from that period, even on the surface, are only sporadic myths and stories, and it is not even sure whether they really exist, let alone those that live deep underground. Worship the snake.

If Chen Ziyan hadn't been able to confirm that the snake worshiper really existed, he wouldn't have thought about it.

"Ancient..." Hearing these two words, Old Dog Wu immediately became silent.

That era is too far away from now, and the archaeological community can't prove whether it really exists.

But he also finally understood why he couldn't translate the text found in Qinling.

To put it simply, it is lack of background, which is purely out of reach.

In the entire Nine Gates, only Master Zhang Dafo can play well. After all, the Zhang family is not inferior to Xiling in this respect, and may even surpass it.

Although Li Wu didn't know why, he could see something from Wu Laogou's reaction, knowing 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 firmly remember every word Chen Ziyan said later.
