Chapter 1424 White Cemetery
"God, what exactly is this place? What exactly did we find?" Feng Yuan muttered, "I've never seen such a beautiful place. No wonder the ancients thought this was a fairyland."

There is a square with tall stone pillars, a majestic temple and two stone statues reclining in front of the temple.There are stepped towers with more than ten floors, railings carved with white jade, and a large platform built on a high platform that is snail-shaped.These buildings fully reflect an outstanding and flexible architectural consciousness in terms of space and shape combination.

In addition, there is also a skeleton platform full of skeletons.This way of using skeletons to symbolize death and the cemetery is very primitive and straightforward.

"Those are pyramids?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"It's a bit like it, but I think it should be a very old witchcraft building." Wu Nanming shook his head and said, "These towers don't even have spires, more like some kind of prism building."

"It's not clear here, we'd better go down and have a look." Fatty Zhang looked around, trying to find a place to climb down.

Fan Jiannan grabbed him and said with a smile, "Take it easy, these buildings here are not known how many years old. If you climb down recklessly like this, be careful not to collapse. If such a high city wall collapses, it won't kill you." His whole body of fat was squeezed into meat sauce."

Fatty Zhang just gave up.They searched along the city wall and found that a section of the city wall had a big gap.Blocks of city bricks are exposed abruptly, like stairs, from where they can be climbed down.Fan Jiannan tried it carefully, and felt that the city bricks were still very strong, which probably had something to do with the climate.In such a cold place, everything with a little moisture is frozen hard.

They climbed down the crack and came to this frozen white area.

Long Ge looked carefully, nodded and said, "This should be the cemetery."

"Where did you see this?" Fatty Zhang looked at him and said.

"Tombs, like other buildings, can best reflect the identity and status of the class. You can see that there are tall towers, various sculptures and columns, and a large square where sacrificial activities are held. So this should be the burial of nobles If you look over there, there are some crude stone platforms. This all shows that there are strict rules for placing the dead in this cemetery." Long Ge explained.

"Just like the slave owners and slaves in ancient times, they are completely two extremes. Slave owners are extravagant and want to repair luxurious tombs, while slaves really die without a place to bury them. Throw them away when they die, or use them at all As a sacrificial object, buried with cattle, sheep and horses." Fan Jiannan nodded.

Wu Nanming stared at the decorations on these buildings in silence, and said in a low voice, "These patterns are very similar to the patterns in the Yangshao culture, and it is almost certain that they belong to the same clan as the Xia people. And the layout of this cemetery must have something to do with it." For some reason. We should be able to find the tombs of the female leaders of the past dynasties by virtue of the special pattern here."

Long Ge nodded and said, "I think so. Although this cemetery is not very regular, it can still be seen that there is a central axis. And this central axis faintly connects with the palace buildings in the city. It is a metaphor for the cycle of life and death. , and the queen never left the throne."

"Yes, the encircling skull decoration refers to death. The flying bird pattern there symbolizes that the deceased entered the kingdom of heaven through flying birds, and then returned from the kingdom of heaven to return to the throne." Wu Nanming said solemnly, "Queens of all ages, Maybe it should be buried there." He turned his head and pointed to the tallest altar in the distance.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Fatty Zhang said immediately, "Let's go over and have a look. We'll find the golden seal and jade letter earlier, and go down the mountain earlier. I always feel that this place is gloomy, and the back of my neck feels cold."

"Just talk nonsense, you, this mountain has already exceeded the snow line. It's snowing so much, and the wind is so strong. If the back of your neck isn't cold, do you still have a fever?" Feng Yuan glared at Fatty Zhang.

Fatty Zhang smiled foolishly for a while, "That's right, that's all I said. Huh? Brother Fan! What's wrong with you?" He suddenly saw something wrong with Fan Jiannan's expression on the stone sculpture beside him, so he hurried up and said, "Brother Fan, what's the matter with you?" Are you okay?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head, his complexion was indeed not very good, "It's nothing serious, maybe it's because it's too cold outside and I've caught a cold, and my head is a little dizzy."

Feng Yuan quickly walked to his side to support him, and said with concern, "Jiannan, do you have a cold, why don't you put on your winter hat?"

"It's okay, really. I'm just a little dizzy, maybe it's because of the weather. It's nothing serious." Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "Let's keep going. If we don't go, we'll fall down."

They followed Wu Nanming and Longge up to the pyramid-like platform.Fan Jiannan found that every piece of the steps here is very finely carved, all of which are white Tianshan jade.Most of the carvings are animals and people.And above the high platform, there are four huge stone pillars standing around.

Carved on the stone pillar is an exaggerated woman's face. Although it is fierce, it can still be seen from the eyebrows that it is a woman.Under the pedestal are squatting and kneeling men, who seem to be slaves.This kind of composition fits the group relationship that is still in a matrilineal society.

Wu Nanming walked to the large sacrificial altar in the middle, and said with a frown, "This should be a place for large-scale sacrifices. They should slaughter large animals here for sacrifices. There are marks made by ropes on these stone pillars. Apparently, this is used to tie up animals. The female priests of this ethnic group should put the slaughtered sacrifices on the altar here, and then lead the entire ethnic group to perform a large sacrificial ceremony.”

"Why do you think it's a female priest? Is it because this is a matriarchal group?" Fatty Zhang asked.

"Of course it's not just that. If you look at the height of this altar, you can see that it is suitable for women's height. The ancients were shorter than today's people, and women's statures are even shorter." Wu Nanming explained road. "So this height is very suitable for women to place sacrifices. For men, they have to bend down. Moreover, in their era, women were indeed inferior to men. It is unlikely that men will take up occupations such as priests."

"It seems that ancient Greece is also like this. They also used to use young women as angels." Feng Yuan thought for a while, "Is there any connection here?"

"There is no necessary connection, but fundamentally speaking, women's senses are more sensitive and detailed, and they have more advantages than men in witchcraft and psychics." Wu Nanming thought for a while and said, "This may be something in common. So the European wizards This is also the reason why witches are more powerful than wizards. Their sensitivity to magic power is generally better than that of men. Of course, there are exceptions, but it is not absolute."

Everyone was listening to Wu Nanming, but no one noticed that Fan Jiannan's face became even uglier again.Feng Yuan proudly turned around and said to Fan Jiannan, "Did you hear me, I may be more talented in magic than you. Huh? Jiannan, what's wrong with you?"

Fan Jiannan raised his head and smiled slightly, "It's nothing." But his words were nothing, no one would believe it, because Fan Jiannan's face was as pale as the snow on this high mountain at this time, almost even the blue blood vessels and meridians under the skin were exposed .

"No, you!" Feng Yuan hadn't finished speaking.Fan Jiannan had already staggered, if not for Fatty Zhang's quick eyesight and hands to support him, Fan Jiannan would have almost fallen down.

Wu Nanming was slightly startled, and hurried up and said, "Xiao Fan, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, it's just that I have a very uncomfortable feeling." Fan Jiannan panted for a while, a little shaky and authentic.

Fatty Zhang whispered, "Could it be hypoxia? Altitude sickness?"

"No, he has always been in good health. He was fine when he went to XZ last time. Besides, I didn't feel anything unusual." Feng Yuan shook his head.

"No." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I feel something very special. It's like some kind of special magic power fluctuation. I can feel the existence of this fluctuation, but I don't know where its source is. Obviously this This kind of mana fluctuation and my body have some kind of induction. It makes me very uncomfortable."

"Induction of magic power?" Wu Nanming turned around in surprise, "What about you?"

"I didn't feel anything." Feng Yuan shook his head hastily, Fatty Zhang was even more bewildered.

Wu Nanming looked at Long Ge again. Long Ge closed his eyes and opened up all his feelings, but in the end he also shook his head.Not only them, but even Wu Nanming himself didn't feel anything wrong.He is an acquired blood cracker, and his perception of magic power is far above others.Even he didn't feel it, presumably other people wouldn't be any better than him.

"Could it be that this sense of magical power is only effective for Fan Jiannan?" Wu Nanming said in amazement, "Is this impossible?" He immediately lowered his head and asked Fan Jiannan, "When did you feel uncomfortable?"

"As soon as I approached this cemetery, the further I walked, the more I felt that the frequency of my heartbeat was not normal." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I don't know why?"

Long Ge immediately reached out to feel Fan Jiannan's pulse. He frowned slightly and said, "His heartbeat is very slow, and he has symptoms of bradycardia."

Bradycardia is an important type of arrhythmia.A normal heartbeat is 10-100 beats per minute.However, some patients usually have a slow basal heart rate, around 50-60 beats per minute, or even lower than 50 beats, and usually have symptoms of dizziness, fatigue, burnout, and poor spirits.

If it drops below 40 beats per minute, dizziness, transient black eyes, fatigue, palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and sometimes a sense of shock in the precordial area may occur, and in severe cases, syncope may occur.

Long Ge frowned, "Do you have a history of heart disease?"

"No, I'm healthy." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "This situation must be caused by something."

"But we are all normal, why are you the only one with such symptoms?" Feng Yuan asked anxiously.

Wu Nanming's face changed, and he said in a low voice, "Could it be related to your blood cleavage? Jiannan, feel it, can you still sense the abnormal mana caused by the blood cleavage in your body?"

Fan Jiannan frowned slightly, and suddenly said in shock, "I don't know, this kind of abnormal magic power seems to have completely disappeared. What's going on here? My hemorrhage is cured?"

"It's not cured, but it was induced by some kind of external force, and it was fully released, so you can't feel it anymore. And your heartbeat is probably the same reason, and you have slow symptoms." Wu Nanming frowned, " I don't know what it is, but it must be very bad for you. Feng Yuan, you and the little fat man had better take Fan Jiannan out of this area and let him recover."

"I'm fine." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "Just sit down and rest for a while, and I'll recover soon."

"Listen to me. This is not a joke!" Wu Nanming shouted in a deep voice, "There should be some kind of special power around here. Your reaction is that the blood cleavage in your body is activated, and you are in some kind of Automatic defense state. Although we don't know what it is yet, we can't take risks, you must retreat first."

"What about you?" Fan Jiannan looked at him and Long Ge and said.

"Long Ge and I continue to search, maybe we can find some clues. Regardless of whether we find anything, we will go back and look for you." Wu Nanming said in a deep voice. "Let's not talk about it, if something really happens to us. It's much better for you to stay outside than to have an accident with everyone."

Long Ge also nodded and said to Fan Jiannan, "Jiannan, listen to me. You are an expert in the hexagram master formation, and you should know that in theory, no matter what the mana fluctuations left by anything will never disappear forever. Because normal items Cannot store mana for a long time. Mana is nothing more than electrical and magnetic energy. But as long as the energy does not remain the same, it is like a fully charged battery, even if you do not use it, the power will gradually be consumed as time goes by .”

"What do you want to say?" Fan Jiannan took a deep breath and asked.

"If you want to maintain the same, you must use some kind of formation to lock the energy, so as to achieve the goal. Since you feel the fluctuation of magic power, it means that there should be some kind of powerful magic energy here. So if something happens to us, you can help us outside." Long Ge grabbed Fan Jiannan's arm and said in a deep voice. "If something happens to us, you're our hope."

"No, you guys go out with me too, we'll come in after we've figured out the countermeasures." Fan Jiannan shook his head hastily.

"But we have reached this point, we don't want to give up." Wu Nanming looked at Fan Jiannan and said, "You should understand what I mean."

Fan Jiannan said with difficulty, "But you are taking a risk by doing this."

"Sometimes you need to take risks." Wu Nanming looked at him and said, "And I have to take this risk, but you don't have to. Wait for us outside. Feng Yuan, Xiaopang, help him out and take good care of him. "

Feng Yuan nodded, "Okay!"

"You guys also come with me." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "I can sense the danger here, and you know what I said is right. Come with us. Long Ge, do you still remember our last meeting?" Talk? At this time, there is no need to be too persistent. "

Long Ge shook his head, "Don't worry, I will be with Mr. Wu. Feng Yuan, take Jiannan and go first."
