Wei Dong, Shao Ling, Hua Jiqiu, and Gu Qingqing are responsible for organizing the photos taken last night in order on the laptop-luckily most of the functions of the laptop are still available.

The symbols displayed on the computer are still weird. Everyone looked at the computer screen for a long time, and finally Shao Ling took the lead: "Perhaps because I'm doing text work, I think these symbols are like images of witchcraft prayers. It's also like a kind of text. You see, this pictogram that folds the limbs and torso into a'ぴ'-shaped symbol appears more than once, perhaps it is equivalent to a common word, often appearing in different sentences ."

"In this way, these icons can be regarded as hieroglyphs in a certain sense." Qin Ci said.

Shao Ling nodded: "This is a necessary stage for the development of writing. However, judging from the structure, style and regular system of these symbols, they are completely different from the oracle bone inscriptions and the known writing system. I have reason to suspect that this kind of writing It belongs to another culture, even another civilization, and even another world-therefore, it may be presumed that this icon/text is a communication symbol from another field."

Wu You suddenly patted his forehead when he heard the words: "When Mr. Shao said this, I suddenly remembered that when my grandma was chatting with other colleagues in the past, I had accidentally heard something.

"Said that when she was young, she went with her master to clean up a person who had been caught by evil. That person seemed to have been embarrassed by a very bad thing. Too grandma, when her master was practicing Something'talks' and asks what that thing wants to do.

"But that thing seemed incomprehensible, yelling, and then bit his finger and struggled to write a few words on the wall with blood. The grandma's master took her and turned away, saying nothing. I helped that person clean up, but the person died not long after. I heard that the death was particularly miserable.

"Everyone asked my grandma, why didn't her master help others? My grandma said that she also asked her master the reason at that time, and her master said that the words written on the wall by that person in blood did not belong to us. this world.

"Her master meant that that kind of text is very scary. If you see it, don't try to read it, let alone imitate it, stay away from it immediately, and never get involved with it or do things related to it. , Don’t even keep thinking about it in your head, and force my grandma to forget the shape of those words.

"My grandma actually didn't take a close look. At that time, she was young and just debuted. She was terrified by the horrible and strange appearance of the man a long time ago, and she didn't even bother to read those words. This matter is considered to be turned over. I went, but she was also very curious, so she asked Master what those words were.

"She said that that kind of writing is not created by humans, and has different attributes and functions from human writing. Human writing is not only used for recording but also used for communication, and that kind of writing has some powerful features besides communication. The power of —— I have translated words, the original words do not say that, but the main meaning is that.

"And what kind of power it is, she doesn't even know her master, she just said that this kind of thing was told to him by her master's master, and her master's master was passed down by the higher master and master.

"But they have passed down from generation to generation. They don’t have any information about the shape and meaning of this type of text. They just say that if you see a text symbol like... like a dead person, don’t bother it, because, it’s Ghost text."

As soon as the word "Ghost Text" was uttered, several people trembled.

"That's right," Ke Xun pointed at the screen. "Doesn't this kind of symbol look like a dead person? This is probably a ghost text, a text from another world."

Mu Yiran nodded: "Then we might speculate that the ancient wizards had some ghost texts, and through this text, supplemented by the form of witch prayer, in order to achieve the purpose of communicating with another world."

"In this way, the high rock platform is probably a platform for sacrifice or witchcraft." Zhu Haowen said.

"In this case... Xiaomu Xiaoke, if you climb up tonight, will it be dangerous?" Hua Jiqiu was very worried.

"We originally came for danger," Ke Xun didn't fluctuate in his heart. "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the mountains. It's not that we want to do it, but we have to do it. Don't worry, Dad Hua. Thinking that as long as the 13 of us didn't go up together, it shouldn't trigger anything weird."

For the sake of this discussion, there is no new progress for the time being, nor can it change the direction of action tonight, so everyone put it down for the time being, washing up, making breakfast, finding a convenient place to go, and for a while, the camp is also lively. stand up.

After breakfast, the people who hadn't slept all went back to their tents to rest, leaving two people on guard.

In the afternoon, all the people who were well asleep got up and gathered in the big tent again.

"Arrange for tonight's action," Mu Yiran said. Everyone quietly listened to him. "I and Ke Xun are in charge of climbing on the rock platform to check, but before that, Luo Ling, I remember you brought a drone? "

"Yes, brother-in-law, but didn't I use it once when I came here with my buddies? All the drones failed and I never came back after entering the canyon." Luo Ling said.

"Let's try it in a while," Mu Yiran said. "If the remote control fails, I just want to get the camera directly on the high platform. I have a telescopic pole in my trunk, but it takes some effort and it is not as convenient and flexible as a drone. "

Everyone watched him silently, Ke Xun said something fair: "Your Japanese name must be Dora Amu."

Everything is in the trunk.

Maybe you can get a rocket launcher or deep-water torpedo out of it.

"What is Doraemon?" Mu Yiran asked him seriously.

Everyone: "..."

...Forget that the blind spot of the boss is cartoon.

"Luo Ling will test the performance of the drone in a while," the boss continued to arrange, "I'll give Ke Xun a tutorial on rock climbing.

"Wei Dong, Shao Ling, Sister Cen, and Director Hua, the four of you are responsible for continuing to ponder these "ghost texts", starting with both images and text, and strive for breakthroughs.

"For the remaining six people, I carry some surveillance camera equipment in my trunk. Hao Wen leads the team and arranges these equipment around the place where the high rock platform will appear. Tonight, we strive to photograph how the rock platform appears and disappears, hopefully Can help us in our next move."

Everyone responded in unison, and immediately split up.

The drone brought by Luo Ling really couldn't be used. The underground magnetic field seems to have greater interference with wireless devices, and functions such as mobile phones and computers that can be operated on a stand-alone basis can still be used.

Mu Yiran and Ke Xun Luo Ling took out the telescopic rod, fixed a high-definition camera to the head of the rod, and extended the telescopic rod to the longest length, which was still not enough to reach the height of the top of the rock platform. The threaded steel pipe can barely be used, but I am afraid that all the places on the top of the high platform cannot be fully photographed. I can only roughly observe whether there are other things.

After completing this part, Mu Yiran went to teach Ke Xun the basics of rock climbing. In the painting "Animal World", although Ke Xun has almost mastered some techniques, the rocks here are higher and the rock wall conditions are more complicated. Considering that the surface of the rock is very crisp and is extremely prone to the danger of slipping, this places higher demands on climbers.

"I carry a ladder in my trunk." Mu Yiran said to Ke Xun.

"..." Ke Xun is now accustomed to the sentence "I have..." in the trunk. He listened calmly to Dora Amu and continued.

"When the time comes, drive the car to the side of the rock, and then put the ladder on the top of the car to shorten our climbing distance," Dora A Mudao, "The difficulty is in addition to the section of the wall that we need to climb manually, we also You need to carry some heavy objects. Flashlights, weapons, cameras, ropes, so it will be more difficult. If you can't hold on by then, I won't allow you to hold on. You must go back where you are. Do you understand?"

"Hey, speaking of ropes," Ke Xun scornfully tried to confuse this, "I have an idea..."

"Do you understand?" The big man reached out to the back of his neck and held his head firmly to prevent him from talking about it. He looked directly into his eyes and asked him to give a positive reply.

"Okay, I promise you." Ke Xun helplessly, "You don't want me to be in danger, but I don't want you to take risks alone. Our love is not fair. I am wronged. I want to cry. I need a big brother. Only parents can suffer this loss."

Mu Yiran pressed his dog's head against him and kissed his lips, ignoring the posture of Luo Ling next to him, yelling "Oh, it's not suitable for children" while watching, pressing his forehead against Ke Xun's forehead, and the tip of his nose was touching the tip of his nose. , Shen said: "Don't worry, I will not do dangerous things, I know you will be sad."

Ke Xun's eyes were hot, and he embraced his arms and kissed him hard.

For the first time, I felt that... the kissing of two men is also very seductive. Luo Ling was thinking about it, she was stretched out with a hand to pinch her ears, and then carried away alive, "Come and help." Fang Fei completely ignored the pair of dog men who showed their affection in public. Monitoring this kind of work that requires very high technology and patience has made all of them big heads except Zhu Haowen.

"...Speaking of ropes," Ke Xun took Mu Yiran's waist and walked forward a few steps, pressing him against the body, but he couldn't do anything else, so he could only continue with the topic just now, "I see we are at night It is better to put a longer rope on the place where the rock platform will appear, and straighten the rope so that the two ends will be outside the range of the rock platform. When the rock platform appears, the rope may be lifted up by it. The middle section will hang on the rock platform, and the two ends will hang down. It will save us a lot of things. Then we only need to pull the rope to go up, don't you think?"

Mu Yiran nodded: "It's a way. If the rock platform is arched from the ground, maybe this method can work."

After half an afternoon’s efforts, the monitoring system was finally set up. There are two cameras on all sides of the rock platform, and the images captured by all cameras can be instantly transmitted to the computer they are connected to.

After several trials without any problems, the installation team was relieved. Li Xiaochun went to prepare dinner, and Wu You and Gu Qingqing beat him.

The four people who were in charge of studying the symbols in the tent did not move. Mu Yiran and Ke Xun went in and took a look. They saw that the other three were surrounded by Wei Dong and his computer, staring at the screen intently.

"What did you find?" Ke Xun walked over and watched the screen together.

See that Wei Dong is using the mouse to manipulate several processed icons, moving the position back and forth in the drawing software.

"I performed denoising, sharpening and repairing of these symbols to extract the most basic lines," Wei Dong said to Ke Xun and Mu Yiran while operating, "Originally, it was to look clearer, but everyone suddenly I thought, can these symbols be put together like the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" on our bones to form a real picture? Then we want to try it. And the result of the experiment," Wei Dong said. Leaning back, turned his head to look at Ke Xun and Mu Yiran, "——They can really be put together into a picture."

Ke Xun's eyes lit up and he hurriedly looked at the picture on the screen carefully: "What did you spell out?"

"I don't know yet," Wei Dong shook his head. "The picture is not complete, only a few scattered parts are spelled out intermittently. We only cleaned out the symbols in the circle under the rocky mountain. Those places that are out of reach are all It hasn’t been cleaned up yet, I’m afraid I’ll have to clear out all the symbols on the entire rock wall to get a complete picture.”

"We suspect," Shao Ling looked at Mu Yiran, "The picture formed by the symbols on this rock wall was lost in the long river of history, that part of the original "Shan Hai Jing Tu"."

"The version of the "Shanhai Jingtu" we know today has been continuously added by later generations after the Xia, Shang and Wednesday dynasties," Hua Jiqiu also nodded, "In these long years of change, there are some original contents. It will also be misinformed, distorted and tampered with, so the later version of "Shan Hai Jing Tu" has long been a version with changed content and taste, and we have no way of knowing how much of the original version is left. If this rock wall If the symbols on the above are really the missing part of "Shan Hai Jing Tu", it must be the most authentic and original version."

"Does the patterns currently assembled by these symbols overlap with the pictures on our bones?" Mu Yiran is extremely careful and sensitive.

"No." Wei Dong shook his head, "but we all think the style is similar."

"Have you ever tried to disassemble our bone-phase diagram into "ghost text"?" Ke Xun said suddenly.

The author has something to say:

Ke Xun: I have everything in my trunk. His Japanese name should be Dora Amu.

Yi Ran: What kind of stem is Dora A Mu?

Luo Ling: But judging from my brother-in-law's knowledge and reasoning ability, he should be called Detective Ke Ran.

Yi Ran: What kind of stem is Ke Ran?

Wei Dong: The big guy is handsome and rich in gold. If he is tall, rich and handsome, I think it should be called a night gown·fake.

Yi Ran: What is the fake night dress...

Wu You: Brother Mu has a high temperament and abstinence, I think he should be called Ruchuan Mu!

Yi Ran: Rukawa Mu is...

Hao Wen: I think he is more like a Tibetan horse, well, Tibetan herd.

Startled:...

Qin Ci: I look like Shaka, Shamu in the Saint Seiya.

Shao Ling: Ha ha, he should be Ye Shen Yi.

Father Hua: Xiaomu is very smart like Brother Yixiu.

Qingqing: Kuchiki Byakuya.

Yue Cen: The Smurfs Cong Cong.

Fang Fei: Fujiwara Sawei.

Xiaochun: Head Kulolo!

Startled:...

Yi Ran: ...not very happy.
