Chapter 32: Warring States Silk Book, a Stories of Nonsense
This snake is extremely fast and has a strong venom. A bite can kill the mother in a few seconds.
Hao Aiguo died from the snake's kiss.
In terms of dangerousness, it is no less than the fire beetles outside.
So Xu Feng was shocked the moment he saw it.
Don't dare to make any more moves.
He also gestured to Lao Hu not to come over.
Then he tried to back away, too.
As soon as I made a move, I saw the black-eyed snake sticking out its tongue and raising its head.
He reflexively held the small sword across his chest.
As a result, an unexpected scene happened.
When the black-eyed monster snake saw Xiao Shenfeng, it paused, and its raised head slowly lowered down.
How is this going? !
Xu Feng looked stunned.
But he didn't think much about it. Seeing that the black-eyed snake didn't move, he took a few steps back.
After retreating to the stairs, he finally felt relieved.
Just about to say something to Lao Hu.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from outside, like the sound of a vase or pottery jar breaking.
moment.
The entire demon building was filled with bright blue light from firebugs.
Xu Feng and Lao Hu's faces changed immediately.
The two of them stopped moving, held their breath, and looked at the fire beetles that were about to wake up, feeling cold all over.
fortunately.
Maybe the noise wasn't that big.
The fire beetles simply emitted a burst of blue light and soon fell into sleep again.
The blooming blue light gradually faded.
"Damn it! Who is this bastard again?!"
Xu Feng walked to the window with anger and looked downstairs.
Professor Chen and his group were seen lying in the burial pit, motionless like sculptures, not daring to make any movement.
On top of the burial pit were placed many pottery jars and porcelains that they had collected.
Hao Aiguo, Chu Jian, and Satipeng were still holding a lot of jars in their hands.
The noise just now should have been caused by Chu Jian.
Because there was a broken jar at his feet.
"I!"
Xu Feng looked at him with gritted teeth.
This bastard almost killed everyone just now.
He whispered into Lao Hu's ear, "Go and take those bastards away. If they stay here, they will kill us sooner or later."
"If they refuse to leave, just tell them we're leaving right away and won't care whether they live or die."
Old Hu was also quite frightened just now.
At this time, he was also full of anger towards those guys in the archaeological team.
nodded.
He went downstairs quietly.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Feng continued to walk to the fourth floor.
Before going upstairs.
He glanced at the altar casually.
Then he froze.
He actually saw dozens of strange black-eyed snakes crawling out of those pottery jars.
"Oh my god, how can there be so many?!"
Xu Feng immediately had the urge to escape from here.
fortunately.
After those strange black-eyed snakes crawled out of the pottery jar, they swam and entangled around the altar, as if they were playing and fighting.
There was no intention to attack him.
Let him breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he realized: "It turns out that those pottery jars are filled with black-eyed monster snakes."
"Ok?"
"what is that?"
He suddenly discovered that there was a small dark green object in the mouth of a black-eyed strange snake.
It was the last one to crawl out of the pottery jar.
After it crawled to the center of the altar holding the small thing in its mouth, the other black-eyed snakes immediately crawled over.
They seemed to be fighting over that little thing.
Entangled together.
It aroused Xu Feng's great interest.
He stared at the small object.
Ten seconds later.
[Item Name]: Snake Whistle
[Item Level]: Low-grade magical instrument
[Item Ability]: Snake Control
[Item Description]: Made of the snake jade that Jingjian Ahan likes the most, it can control Jingjian Ahan.
Can you control the Pure Vision Agama?
Aren’t the Pure Vision Agamas those strange black-eyed snakes?
Xu Feng was instantly filled with great surprise.
Although this snake whistle is only a low-grade magic weapon.
But it's definitely good stuff.
If I had it, I would no longer have to worry about those strange snakes in the ancient city of Jingjue.
however.
Soon reality poured cold water on him again.
The snake whistle is among those black-eyed strange snakes. How do I get it?
If it were somewhere else, there might be a way to lure the snakes away and get the snake whistle.
But this is the Nine-Story Demon Tower, and outside are tens of thousands of fire beetles.
The slightest noise may wake up the firebug.
By then, I will really die without a burial place.
Weigh again and again.
In the end, Xu Feng had no choice but to give up this tempting treasure with great reluctance.
Go directly to the fourth floor.
Just arrived at the fourth floor.
Xu Feng saw a coffin.
A huge sarcophagus.
"Is this the coffin of the Demon King?"
Xu Feng guessed.
However, when he saw the relief carved on the coffin, he knew he was wrong.
The reliefs tell the story of the life of a high priest.
From when he inherited the power of sacrifice, to when he became the high priest of the Demon Kingdom, and then to the several major things he did for the Demon Kingdom.
For example, the Demon Kingdom presided over the construction of the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
For example, communicating with the snake god.
For example, choosing the Demonic Mother.
"In other words, the person lying in this coffin is the high priest of the Demonic Kingdom?"
Xu Feng touched his chin, thinking.
"If I remember correctly, the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom discovered the Ghost Cave long before the Zagrama tribe did. They took away the Snake God's Eye Lightning Dust Pearl and mastered the secret of the Lightning Dust Pearl. Then they ran to Kunlun Mountain and established a huge religious regime with the power of the Lightning Dust Pearl. They also adopted high-pressure rule to enslave the surrounding primitive tribes."
"Because their methods of slavery are cruel, they are called the Demonic Kingdom."
"That electric dust bead is 100% a divine object."
"Since the Demon Kingdom is a religious regime, that means the high priest should have a very high status."
"There should be a lot of good things in his coffin, right?"
“There must be a divine object!”
"The magic of the sacred objects is so incredible that even modern people like us would find it incredible, let alone the ancient people."
"Some people accidentally discovered the magical effects of the sacred objects and used them to play tricks."
Although I guess there must be treasures in the sarcophagus.
But Xu Feng had no plans to open the museum.
Still the same reason, there are tens of thousands of fire beetles outside.
He didn't want to make any noise.
What if the high priest in the coffin makes a noise?
He will be attacked from both sides.
"Ah, you don't even give me a chance to learn new things. How stingy."
Xu Feng went up to the fifth floor while complaining.
The fifth floor appears to be a warehouse.
There are a lot of boxes.
But what was strange was that these boxes were placed in a haphazard manner, with their lids open, and the contents were almost emptied.
All that was left were some rotten cloth and utensils.
Xu Feng was surprised: "Was this robbed?!"
In Xu Feng's opinion, this place looked like a place that had been visited by bandits and thieves.
"Could it be that someone has been here before?!"
Xu Feng looked through all the boxes to see if there was anything missing.
Then, he found a piece of cloth.
There were a lot of cloths scattered on the ground, but they were all rotten.
Only this piece of cloth was intact.
It immediately aroused his interest.
He picked up the cloth and shook off the dust.
Then spread it out and take a look.
"what?"
"There are words on the cloth?!"
The piece of cloth is about one meter square and has a grid similar to a Go board drawn on it, with a word in each grid.
"This is... a Warring States silk book?"
The Warring States silk book that Xu Feng mentioned is not the Warring States silk book in Tomb Robbers' Chronicles.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when paper had not yet been invented, people used silk, cloth, bamboo slips, tortoise shells, etc. to record words.
Because cloth was expensive and equivalent to currency, only the powerful and wealthy families at the time could use it. The records were also in precious written books, so it was extremely valuable.
This kind of Warring States cloth that records precious texts is collectively called Warring States silk book.
"There is actually a Warring States silk book here?!"
Xu Feng was a little surprised.
The grid on the silk book is of 14x14 size.
In other words, there are a total of 196 characters on the silk book, all of which are obscure Warring States characters.
Suddenly, information appeared before my eyes.
[Item Name: Ghost Talk]
[Item Level: Top-grade magical instrument]
[Item ability: clarify doubts and resolve confusion]
[Item Description: Each piece of nonsense can only be used once. A minimum of four people are required to ask questions. After getting the answer, one person will be randomly sacrificed. The more difficult the question is, the greater the cause and effect, and the more people need to be sacrificed.]
Xu Fengzui drank for a long time.
I barely understood what it meant.
This bunch of nonsense should be a kind of divine object similar to seeking divination.
You can ask it questions and it will give you answers.
Any problem is fine, but there is also a corresponding price to pay, and that is life.
When asking questions, at least four people are required to participate. After they give a series of nonsense answers, one person's life will be taken away at random.
