Chapter 33 Section 32 Cliff Inscriptions

"Oh——" Chu Feng's eyes lit up, he stared at Ling Ning closely for a long time, until the little girl blushed, he laughed "haha", and patted Ling Ning on the shoulder several times: "Okay, Good! Ling Ning, you are still smarter!" Ling Ning's face was already red, but after being praised like this by him, it was even redder as if it was about to bleed. "In this way, the information of this symbol can be summed up: a witch symbol from ancient times; its appearance means that all space and time on the earth must follow a certain will. Ling Ning, you said, such symbols usually Under what circumstances did it appear?"

"A witch talisman from ancient times? Its appearance represents some kind of will that all space and time on the earth must follow? This symbol was created by humans, so it is for human use, that is to say, it will be used by humans on the earth. People in all time and space abide by it! Is it like this? Brother Chu?" Ling Ning made inferences. "En! That's right!" Chu Feng smiled, confirming her guess. "Then, could it be some kind of curse?" Ling Ning asked hesitantly.She thought of the sentence she saw in front of the tomb that was suspected to be the tomb of King Loulan that day, "This is the resting place of the greatest King Loulan, and offenders will be punished most severely."

This symbol appeared there for the first time. Does this represent a very serious curse, similar to what we Han people call "going up to the poor and falling to the underworld"? "Curse?" Chu Feng chewed repeatedly, "What you said is also reasonable! There is a character recurring on the rock painting I saw, which seems to be a hint!" "What characters?" Ling Ning rarely saw Chu Feng so hard to make a decision. In her impression, Chu Feng always seemed to be full of confidence and made a final decision! "A character that may represent the meaning of 'covenant' appears at least three times! This is still when most of the characters have been blurred! The strangest thing is, how can there be so many different characters used by ancient civilizations here? It’s so strange!” Chu Feng’s hesitation is mainly because there are too few factors for him to judge, and most of the characters have long been unrecognizable due to long-term oxidation.It is too difficult to judge anything based on these vague and incoherent characters!

"What a pity! This cliff carving is too badly damaged! Otherwise, maybe we can find something! But—" "But what?" Ling Ning originally heard that the handwriting over there was badly damaged, and he felt a little disappointed, but when he heard that Chu Feng still had more to say, his eyes immediately sparkled. "Don't be too impatient! I think this tribe has set this place as a forbidden area, and their high priest actually uses witchcraft. There may be a relationship between the two. Maybe we can go to the high priest to find out the answer!" Chu Feng Say it with confidence.

The great sorcerer in ancient times was indeed very powerful. It was said that he was omnipotent from heaven to earth, and Nisha also described this high priest as terrifying, but Chu Feng didn't think he could have the same ability as the great sorcerer in ancient times.Besides, those legends may not be true at all, and may be fabricated by later generations! "I said, little lunatic, I don't care what new discoveries you have, but you have to see what time it is now! If that little girl doesn't come, it will be dark! When it gets dark, we won't be able to leave even if we want to Already! Tonight you just wait to go hungry!" Da Qi had already finished processing the rattan rope, and seeing Chu Feng's complacent look, he couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help provoking him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several "thuds, thumps" and several green fruits the size of a fist fell from the hole where they fell. "What is this?" Ling Ning waited for a while, and after making sure that nothing would fall, he walked over to pick one up. do you want to eat? Chu Feng didn't even know this fruit, but Da Qi hesitated: "This one should be edible!" "If you can eat it, you can eat it. If you can't eat it, you can't eat it. What should you say?" Ling Ning has been angry with Da Qi since he hurt Chu Feng with his punch last time, and stabbed him whenever he had the opportunity.

"Uh, this looks a bit like the star anise pear produced in Kashgar, southern Xinjiang! But it's a special product in southern Xinjiang. I haven't heard that it is produced in northern Xinjiang, especially in the Altai Mountains? So, I'm not sure if it can be eaten! "Da Qi turned a blind eye to Ling Ning's attitude at all.It's just that there are some things that should be said clearly. Chu Feng took the fruit in Ling Ning's hand, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, it smelled like a melon and fruit!He didn't pay much attention to it, he wiped it on his body, and took a bite with his mouth open.

"I'm not sure I can eat it yet, why did you eat it first? What if it's poisonous?" Ling Ning was anxious when he saw this. "Ling Ning, don't worry, this fruit is not poisonous!" Chu Feng took another bite and opened a note in his hand to read. "Where did you get this note?" At this moment, Ling Ning saw that there was an extra note in Chu Feng's hand at some point. "Just now when you were picking up the fruit, you picked it up behind your butt!" Da Qi saw that Chu Feng was eating, and he was not polite, he picked up the fruit on the ground and put it in his mouth to eat it, and he didn't forget to stab it while eating. rather.

In fact, he had already seen that Chu Feng picked up a note, but Chu Feng kept silent, how could he know what was written on the note, maybe it even said "poisonous, don't eat".So he didn't follow up until Chu Feng set an example. When Ling Ning heard this, she rolled her eyes in anger!Ignore them!She picked up two big fruits, turned around and walked out of the cave, while looking at the rock carvings, she bit the fruits to vent her anger! Not to mention, the fruit looked ugly, each of them looked like they were born with malnutrition, but they tasted pretty good when they tasted it.

Ling Ning took a bite of the fruit, walked carefully to the end of the plank road, and stared at the cliff that Chu Feng discovered just now, which was engraved with multiple characters.As she watched, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately came back to find Chu Feng: "Brother Chu, have you ever thought that there was an event in history that was surprisingly similar to our discovery!" As she spoke, the expression on her face was very happy! "What?" Chu Feng was still in deep thought, but he raised his head blankly after being disturbed by her! "Brother Chu, do you know one of the greatest emperors of the ancient Persian Empire—King Darius?"

Ling Ning has read a lot of books, but what does Chu Feng do for food?As soon as he heard it, he knew what Ling Ning wanted to say: "You want to say "Beheston Inscription"?" Darius I, the most famous monarch of the ancient Persian Empire, won the Persian Empire by "the merits of his horse and groom".In September 520 BC, Darius traveled to the village of Behesdun, 32 kilometers east of Kermansha, and found a steep and difficult cliff. Heathdon Inscription. The "Behistown Inscription" records the achievements of Darius in three languages: ancient Persian, New Elamite and Babylonian, and there are reliefs of Darius on it! Compared with the cliff carving in front of you, both of them use a variety of characters or characters to carve, and the upper half uses relief carving techniques.What is more consistent is that the selected places are all cliffs that are at least 100 meters above the ground and difficult to climb.Ling Ning wanted to say that the cliff inscription in front of him might be the same as the "Beheston Inscription", which was engraved by a certain ancient imperial monarch who passed by here on the way of conquest! "Your conjecture makes sense. However, these words are too old. If I am not wrong, they have been chiseled here for at least three thousand years. In such an ancient age, which great monarch How could he have been to so many countries and collected so many texts? This is impossible!" Chu Feng thought for a while and denied Ling Ning's statement. "Then what is the situation of the cliff carvings here?" After hearing Chu Feng's analysis, Ling Ning also lost confidence in his previous guess.She muttered to herself, racking her brains, hoping to come up with a reasonable explanation. "No, I have to go and see!" In summer, the sun sets very late in Xinjiang, especially when it is just after the summer solstice. It will be completely dark at around 23:00 Beijing time.It was still early at this time, at least two hours before the sun set. Returning to the cliff inscriptions again, Chu Feng was fully prepared - he found a foothold.This foothold was previously blocked by vines, and he didn't notice it. Now that he looked carefully, he found that it was quite wide, about two feet wide enough for him to move around carefully. Could it be that this is where the craftsmen who carved these characters landed? where? Now that he could study with peace of mind, Chu Feng soon made many new discoveries.This time, because the purpose of coming out was to save people, Chu Feng did not take the notebook with him for recording and research. He reached out and touched his chest. Fortunately, the previous work habits were not lost. Inside was a palm-sized notebook and a short pencil.He quickly took it out and wrote down his findings one by one. The sun is gradually setting to the west, and it is about to set.Da Qi suddenly interrupted Chu Feng's research: "Little lunatic, don't look, we have to find a way to get out of here!" Chu Feng had devoted himself wholeheartedly to communicating with these ancient symbol spirits. Da Qi called him a few times, but he didn't hear him. It wasn't until Da Qi couldn't help himself that he swung over to wake him up! "Da Qi, what's the matter?" Chu Feng blankly looked at his former comrade-in-arms with anger on his face. "What's wrong? Don't you see what time it is! That little girl hasn't come back yet. If we don't think about it, we'll have to be stuck here tonight!" Da Qi said, suppressing his anger. "Stuck here?" Chu Feng glanced back at the elf-like characters that made him obsessed, before turning his mind, "This is very good! The discovery here is very important, even if you let me go, I will not Walk!" "God! Little lunatic, don't go crazy at this time, okay!" Da Qi patted his forehead annoyed when he saw Chu Feng's gaze shifted to the cliff again, "Okay, even if you wish to be trapped here, What about those people? Our partners are likely to be beheaded by this barbaric tribe tomorrow! Some people may have their heads beheaded today! Do you still want to stay here and look at these dead things?" Da Qi said , Even I believed that possibility, my eyes were red! Chu Feng was startled, and then remembered his original intention of waiting for someone to come here.Yes, this cliff will not run away, but the partners are anxiously waiting for their help.Saving people is like putting out a fire, don't delay! He was just caught in the research and didn't wake up for a while, but now he is reminded by Da Qi, and his mind will soon become clear.The reaction returned to the usual quickness: "Nisa hasn't come back yet? Is there no note?" Da Qi answered in a low voice: "No!" Chu Feng returned to the shallow cave and saw that Ling Ning was also worried. He looked back at the sky and quickly made a decision: "Da Qi, have you finished braiding your rattan rope? Is it long enough? Enough?" Not strong enough?" Da Qi pointed to the pile of vines in the corner of the cave and said, "It's all done! Don't worry! Should we go up or down now?" Chu Feng carefully observed the cave again, except for the hole on the top where a few people fell, there was no crack leading to other places. "Let's go down!" Chu Feng decided!The strange thing is that Da Qi should be the nominal captain of the entire investigation team, but at this moment he completely obeys Chu Feng's orders. After Da Qi got the order to go down, he quickly made preparations, fixed one end of the vine in a very firm place, wrapped some small vines around himself for safety, and distributed some to Chu Feng and the others, and then He threw the whole pile of vines down the cliff. "Then I'll go down first!" Da Qi was very vigorous, and he just greeted him, but the words were still in his ears, but the figure was gone. "Brother Chu, Captain Qi is going down now?" Poor Ling Ning usually claims to like sports, but he only plays badminton or something. Climbing down, the difficulty is indeed greater. "Hurry up, we must go down as soon as possible before the sun goes down completely, or if we are still hanging on the cliff after dark, we are just looking for death!" Chu Feng kept urging Ling Ning.In order to ensure her safety, Chu Feng asked her to get down behind him, and reminded her where to stay at any time.This Ling Ning was already scared, coupled with nervousness, she managed to drag the vine down a few meters, but unexpectedly a stone loosened under her feet, "Ah!" Feng was discovered, and the second half of the scream was swallowed by her abruptly. Chu Feng was not far below her, and the two of them shared a vine. When she slipped down, she immediately hit Chu Feng. A strong pressure made him unable to hold the vine with both hands, and he slid down. Finally, Chu Feng kicked his legs wildly during the fall, but he also kicked a big rock for him. With this borrowing force and the strength in his hands that never let go, the two of them finally stopped their falling.It was only then that Ling Ning realized that he was sitting squarely on Chu Feng's shoulder. Before Ling Ning had time to be shy, he discovered the blood stains on the vines in front of him. This was—— It belongs to Chu Feng!In order to control the whereabouts of the two of them, he tried his best to grab the vines with all his strength. Although he succeeded in the end, it also caused a deep blood groove in his hands!
