I have a cave of evil

The black building is square and square, with sharp edges and corners. It is built against the mountain. A large part of the back is embedded in the rock wall, and the top cannot be seen, because the top is submerged in the rock top of the underground cave.

The building material is the same bluestone as the bluestone brick road, but the size is different. The bluestone of the bluestone brick road is cut into a cuboid, and the stone bricks of the black building are shorter and wider, almost a cube.The surface of the bluestone is painted with a layer of black dye, which has the effect of repelling insects and moisture. After countless years, the bluestone is still intact. In the dark and damp underground cave, there is no moss growing on it, and it is as smooth as a mirror.

There is a large square in front of the black building, surrounded by symmetrically erected 36 columns that go straight to the top of the rock, engraved with strange characters and pictures, it is a rare circular thing around.But the surface of these cylinders is not painted with black fuel, nor is it made of bluestone. It is carved from a gray-white rock. Over the long years, part of it has collapsed and broken into several sections, covered with black-green moss, which is weird. Small insects scurry on it at a high speed.

On the opposite side of the bluestone brick road is the gate of the black building. The two are located on the central axis, separated by the entire large square. At the gate of the black building, there are six rectangular stone tablets, which are only half the height of the surrounding columns. The writing is in the same style as on the column.

The structure of these characters is intricate, the strokes are vigorous and thick, square, horizontal and vertical, and Leng Yi looks very similar to simplified Chinese characters, but there is no point of left and right, and there is no pause between the strokes. It is completely composed of horizontal and vertical, more like It is a cuneiform script with straight lines, and it is a fairly mature script.

Many tribes within the territory ruled by the Warcry Clan are still using pictorial primitive pictographs. Compared with the two, the civilization that built this ruin is much more advanced.

The bone monsters shredded the zombies blocking the way, but they dared not step into the big square of the black building, they just roared helplessly.

Their roars are shrill and sharp, not the sound produced by the vibration of the vocal cords, but the restless trill of the will-o'-the-wisps in the brain. It is no exaggeration to say that they are crying ghosts, and Zhu Yao shivered when he first heard them.

Seeing that the bone monsters were afraid to enter the square, Zhu Yao took this opportunity to take another mouthful of the liquid in the sheepskin water bag. This time he was not in such a hurry, and finally felt what it was like, and almost spit it out. Boiled sauerkraut in socks - smelly and sour.

He didn't dare to go deep into the square. Brainless guys like bone monsters are only afraid of higher-level monsters.

Obviously, this place looks peaceful, but there is actually a huge murderous intent hidden here.

He sat on the ground to recover his strength, and there happened to be a broken column next to him, so he moved his gaze to it.Naturally, he couldn't understand the words on it, but he could barely guess a part or two of the picture drawn by the lines.

It can be seen that the builders of this ruins worship straight lines very much, and there are few curved lines. Even the pictures are straight horizontally, vertically vertically, and obliquely are also a straight line.

The picture on this section of the broken column is a group of small people lying on their stomachs, with square blocks on their backs, climbing in the same direction. Next to it is a small person standing on a six-legged platform, flying high. Picking up the stick in his hand, he wanted to make a big gesture.

The style of the picture is very similar to stick figures + stick figures, the lines are simple, but very vivid.

Zhu Yao glanced around, walked around tentatively, and found that there was no enemy mechanism, so he looked carefully at the picture on the column, and found that it was actually telling the story of the construction of this ruins, and immediately lost interest.

When he looked back, something suddenly flashed behind a broken column not far away.

Fearing that it was a trap, Zhu Yao let the bottle fire fly over first, and then walked over after confirming that there was no danger.

There was a dead body lying under the column, only a pile of dry bones remained, and the animal skin clothes on his body were rotten to the edges.His bones were thick, and he must have been a powerful man when he was alive. There was a short brass staff in his hand, which was shiny. It was the light reflected by the fishing bottle fire just now.

Seeing the animal fur clothing, Zhu Yao was sure that this was a person of his own age who somehow died here.

He sighed, most of the people who can come here are not decent people, they are probably here to steal treasure, they are grave robbers, no decent person will die in this place.

After confirming that the short brass staff was not in danger, Zhu Yao picked it up.This short stick is similar to the rolling pin used to make dumplings and roll noodles in the previous life. It is straight and smooth, with screw caps on both ends, and three words engraved in the middle:

"Ancient Thirteen"

Zhu Yao grinned, and said in his heart that he really guessed right, and met the ancient explorer.

The old man Dashi said that the explorers of the relic tribe will definitely carry something that stores information with them. This kind of thing is durable, resistant to blows and falls, and invulnerable to water and fire. The owner's name is engraved on it.If the explorers are trapped in the ruins, they will write down what they saw and hid in it, hoping to help the latecomers tide over the difficulties. At that time, they only need to send this thing back to the tribe of the ruins, which can be regarded as a life-saving grace. .

Zhu Yao twisted the nuts at both ends, and sure enough one end was relatively loose, and it could be opened with some effort.After opening it, a roll of paper, or a paper-like film, slipped out of the short staff. It was white and soft, with excellent toughness. On the front were dried blood characters, and on the back were simple pictures.

After Zhu Yao read the front and back carefully, he couldn't help sighing that this person is careful.The ancient explorers describe one thing in two forms, the positive text and the reverse picture, fearing that the latecomers will not be able to read.

Let's call this person Gu Shisan!

He learned that there were relics of the dark age at the foot of Mianlong Mountain, so he rushed over without stopping, overcoming many difficulties and obstacles, and finally came to the gate of the relics.

Unexpectedly, there was a bone giant stationed here, and he shot suddenly, causing internal injuries. Fortunately, he hid in the big square in time, and the bone giant dared not come in.

But at this time, he had injured his internal organs, coughed up blood, and died soon. He wanted to enter the ruins, and he died inside. He didn't expect that the black building was tightly stitched, and the huge door was beyond his ability to push. After finding the mechanism to open the ruins, I was trapped in the square, so I had to study the stone tablets and columns in the square.

On the stele are prayers praising the gods. The builders of this ruin believed in an ancient god called "All Things Measure". They believed that everything in the world is made of straight lines, and any distorted things are flaws, sins, and should be The existence of elimination, and the straight line can measure everything, except the circle. They believe that the circle is the only imperfect thing that can exist, and it is the guardian of the straight line.

One day, the ancient god sent an oracle to build an underground mausoleum to avoid disasters, so the believers dug rocks at the foot of Mianlong Mountain, killed the powerful local monsters, and built a mausoleum to protect the ancient god.

Here Gu Shisan is specially marked, guessing that the black building contains the secret of why the dark age ended, that is, the "disaster" mentioned on the stone tablet that even the ancient gods have to avoid.

Zhu Yao is not interested in these, and is too far away from him.

The ancient kings are all legendary figures to him.The Dark Ages is the same as discussing whether the extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by a global volcanic eruption or an extraterrestrial meteorite hitting the earth in the previous life. It is just a chat after dinner and should be left to professionals to study.

Afraid of missing any information, he read it several times to confirm that it was correct.

This square is safe, without any traps.

He can rest and regain his strength.
