Is there a creature in this primitive forest that slaughtered the inhabitants
The animal with this aggressive and retaliatory nature in the outside world is undoubtedly a wolf. What would it be here? This place is full of unknown prehistoric creatures. Is it a unicorn
But no matter what, their existence is not a good thing for us.
However, these problems are only speculations, without any stronger clues and actual evidence.
Zhang Ling took out the half of the wolfskin map from his personal pocket, and said, "I suddenly have a question, is this picture of the world here."
I looked at the incomprehensible outlines on the map and asked: "Can you find this village on the map?"
Zhang Ling shook his head and said: "If this picture is really here, then all previous inferences must be denied and re-checked. Therefore, I dare not say whether there is this village or not. But why did the painter put the picture on the wolf? Can there be other reasons besides the long-term preservation of the skin?"
Big Eye and I looked at each other, unable to answer for a moment.
Zhang Ling looked around and said, "Well, let's stay here first. You and I will walk around the village to see if there are other clues."
Most of the villages are ordinary houses. The ground floor is a livestock fence surrounded by fences. On the second and third floors, there are living rooms, bedrooms, butler rooms, and storage rooms. The beams, the forehead pillars, and the door lintel are all painted or carved with exquisite patterns and flower decorations, which are cut into a zigzag shape with a whole cut log to make the up and down stairs.
The furnishings and utensils in most of the residents' homes are intact. It doesn't look like a massacre has taken place at all, but because of this, everything seems even stranger.
Finally, we found some clues in a large two-story wooden house.
This is actually an altar with a conference hall on the lower floor and literature and materials on the upper floor. Seeing those Uighur texts written on wolf skins and described in gold and silver makes us very excited, because for a civilization, this is the most important data.
The scrolls of the wolf skin are very similar to the wolf skin of the map.
I said: "It seems that this map is from here."
Zhang Ling said cautiously: "If the wolf skin map really came from here, then the wolf skin picture is here. This is like a map of a country. The wolf skin map in our hands is the panorama here."
Pick up one with big eyes
The scroll said: "Look at what's written on it!"
Most of the scriptures are written on wolf skin scrolls with gold and silver juice, and there are also some scrolls. Although Zhang Ling understands Uighur, he cannot read as smoothly as Chinese characters, so it takes a lot of time to read those scriptures and scrolls.
Through her careful reading, we finally have a general understanding of these scrolls. It turned out to be a well-preserved village chronicle, which has been recorded since more than a thousand years ago.
This village is called Shambala Village. It adopts a chronology of fire, air and sea. After reading it, Zhang Ling said that this kind of chronology is slightly different from the chronology of fire, air and sea that she has mastered, but it should be roughly calculated from Lang Dama. The year when the Buddha was exterminated began.
Rangdama's extinction of the Buddha was between 838 and 842 AD. For more than a hundred years thereafter, no monks in cassocks were seen, so this incident was called Rangdama's extinction of the Buddha by later generations.
The village chronicles did not write where the villagers originally came from. It seems that they have lived here since the beginning of the world. But why the villagers live here is very clear, they are here to protect their beliefs.
This kind of guarding gives me the feeling very similar to the village formed over time by sending people to guard the tomb after the death of the emperor and general in the ancient dynasty.
In addition, most of the records in the village chronicles are major events such as sacrifices, natural disasters, or the obvious spirit of gods, and several of them have caught our attention.
For example, in a certain year, the people of the Protoss descended from the ladder and borrowed how much food; in a certain year, the people of the Protoss came to announce the news; in a certain year, how many messengers were sent from the village to the Protoss altar to participate in major ceremonies , And when and how many people came back.
Based on these pieces of information, we can know that this is not the only village here. There may be more and more ancient ethnic groups above them. They are longing for the Protoss, or that the Protoss is their belief.
However, there is not much information about the Protoss in the village chronicles. It is just that the village is guarded at the extreme edge. The place is humid and hot, and there are many monsters and mosquitoes, which is extremely unfavorable for human survival. The road to the Protoss is also full of dangers. It is impossible for people to travel through the jungle to reach the Protoss settlement area. The bravest warrior will have to walk for three months to reach the Protoss.
Since all the important events are recorded in the scriptures, there is often no event worth recording for several years.
, So the accumulated amount for more than a thousand years is also not large.
According to the records on the scroll, the cliff behind the village was an insurmountable cliff. After countless warriors paid the price of their lives, they finally found their way to the Protoss.
Later, under the guidance of a wise elder, the brave people buried their seeds in the crevices of the rocks and eventually grew into a ladder.
Later, there was an opportunity to communicate with the Protoss. According to the records on the scroll, we analyzed that the ladder should be a plant similar to a hanging basket.
We desperately wanted to see what the ladder looked like, so we rushed to the back of the village immediately.
Sure enough, there is a cliff behind the village. There is a huge waterwheel in the mountain stream. Not only does it irrigate the fields here, it also seems to provide special power, but the shaft is buried deep in the ground, and I don’t know where it leads. As for things like ladders and hanging baskets, we didn't find them for a while.
After a while, Zhang Ling said, "Chen An, I found something that should be related to the ladder. Come and see!"
When I rushed to the edge of the cliff, Zhang Ling and Big Eyes were facing a bunch of vines. The vines were as thick as a child’s arm and piled up under the cliff to form a mountain. When I looked up, the wall was still hanging. Hanging part of the vines, a section of it, but it is no longer coherent, it looks almost hundreds of meters long.
Moreover, the vines that fell on the ground were not dead, and there were still branches and leaves growing from the main trunk.
Zhang Ling picked up a section, and I found that between the two sturdy trunks, there were countless twigs neatly kinked side by side, which looked more like a rope ladder.
Big Eye said: "It looks like this should be the ladder."
Zhang Ling said: "Very smart and creative! These vines are very vigorous. They can grow roots in the crevices of the rock wall, and grow stronger and stronger. Even if the old vines die, the new plants will follow the old vines. Going to continue to grow, to ensure that this ladder will never break."
She cleared one end of a rope ladder, looked at the fracture, and said: "It seems to be deliberately destroyed. It seems to be to cut off all escape routes, or maybe to prevent others from coming to rescue!"
I looked up at the remaining vines on the cliff that were less than ten meters away, and said, "It seems that we can only climb up by ourselves. This cliff is really big!"
Zhang Ling also looked up at the rock face rising into the sky and said, "It's okay."
