Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 399 The Goki in the Epic (4000)

But now, Wu Liang was still unable to see the whole picture of the mountain mausoleum rising from the Nether Lake, so it was too early to draw any conclusions.

Dianwei, Awang, and Kabul are also concentrating on observing the great changes in Mingze, and no one can tell exactly what Mingze will become.

Just watch quietly like this.

For two full hours, Wu Liang and the others, apart from slightly adjusting their standing posture due to the numbness of their legs, no one sat down to rest even for a moment.

Even Ngawang, who is the oldest and sick, never rested.

Not only did Wu Liang not feel tired, he was even a little excited.

It needs to be known that even if he just watched a movie for half an hour in the movie theater of later generations, no matter how fascinating the movie was, when he left his seat, he would still feel a buzzing in his head, and his body and mind were indescribably exhausted.

But now, two hours is a full four hours, and his energy is still very full...

as of now.

The shock that Wu Liang and others could feel has been greatly reduced, and the changes in Ming Ze have gradually become smoother, even negligible.

But now, Ming Ze can no longer be called a lake.

It was replaced by a huge mountain mausoleum that was as high as the ancient city where Wu Liang was located, and the water in Mingze also appeared in the sky because of this huge mountain mausoleum, and turned into two winding paths along the north and south sides of the mountain mausoleum. The flowing river.

The river surface has also been raised a lot, Wu Liang estimated that it should be 30 meters.

However, this is already the height at which the lake level has risen and then gradually decreased. It was much higher than this when the lake water rose before, and it has already covered the mountainside of the hill below the ancient Great Wall.

The huge vortex also disappeared together.

Wu Liang noticed that the vortex was actually connected to several caves at the foot of the newly raised mountain that connected to the interior of the mountain. As the mountain was completely raised until it was higher than the water surface, the lake water would naturally no longer be able to flow into it. Among them, the vortex naturally ceased to exist.

As for the huge stone engraved with mysterious patterns that I saw before, it has also been completely submerged by the rising lake.

Fortunately, Wu Liang had already copied the above pattern in advance, even if he couldn't find that boulder again, it wouldn't have much impact.

"My lord, this mountain mausoleum... looks a lot like the mysterious pattern on that boulder..."

Stretching his neck to look at the scene in front of him, Ngawang finally couldn't help saying.

It's a pity that the sound that came out of one mouth was hoarse and tearing. Even speaking normally was a little difficult. After all, after standing here and watching "Shanghai Changtian" for more than two hours, everyone didn't drink a drop of water, and even forgot to use their saliva. Soothe your throat.

"Not similar, but the same."

Wu Liang nodded.

There may be some subjective errors in Awang's memory, but Wu Liang's imitation will definitely not.

He took the silk cloth painted with mysterious patterns and compared them carefully, and found that the dark caves on these hills corresponded one-to-one with the suspected cave-like figures on the mysterious patterns!

Not only that.

Even the "river" in the mysterious pattern has exactly the same flow direction as the river just formed in front of you.

There are also those strange circular patterns on the only river bank in the mysterious pattern, which also found a corresponding reference. They are some huge spherical stones, and these stones seem to have carved some strange shapes. Unfortunately, Wu Liang's location is too far away from those boulders, and the details above are still unclear for the time being.

However, looking at the past from a distance, Wu Liang felt that those shapes looked like a human face, or a huge head...

and.

No more, no less, exactly seven, both in terms of placement and quantity are consistent with the mysterious pattern.

The only thing missing these days.

It is the suspected sun or moon circle above the hill.

"Rumble..."

The vibration that can be felt under the feet is getting smaller and smaller, and the sound is also getting smaller and smaller, and it has gradually reached an undetectable level.

If he hadn't witnessed the great changes that had just happened here, a foreigner like Wu Liang might still think that this place was the scene before him.

The only evidence that can confirm that this hill actually rose from the water.

I am afraid that there are only some silt, green moss and water plants remaining on the hills and those boulders, but what is surprising is that the remaining silt, green moss and water plants are not as serious as imagined, at least they are not submerged underwater at all. Knowing what it should look like for many years, it seems that it has just been washed away by a flood.

Besides.

Wu Liang also didn't see a large number of fish and shrimps and other aquatic organisms that should have been stranded in the lake, and even those "animals" that turned upside down before can rarely be seen now, and I don't know if they were washed away. After reaching the downstream, it still flowed into that huge vortex. Anyway, most of them had disappeared out of thin air.

With many questions, Wu Liang still stood on the ancient Great Wall and waited for a while.

It wasn't until he was sure that the shock had completely disappeared, and felt that there was a high probability that there would be no major changes below, that Wu Liang finally turned his head and said to Dian Wei, "Brother Dian Wei, follow me down to have a look."

"I'm going too! Uncle Awang, are you going?"

Before Dian Wei could speak, Kabul rushed to speak.

"Naturally!"

Awang also said hastily.

At this moment, these two guys are also full of curiosity about this mountain, even though they know that there may still be some danger, they are unwilling to miss it easily.

"Then Kabul, Uncle Awang will be handed over to you, help him up, and follow my orders after he goes down."

Wu Liang did not reject the two of them, he nodded and said.

"It's natural."

Kabul quickly responded.

So the group of four couldn't wait to climb down from the ancient Great Wall, and quickly walked towards the mountain mausoleum along the way down the mountain.

……

When they came to the bank of the river in this way, they were already blocked.

The newly created big river is 20 meters wide, and it is still unknown how deep it is, and it is still unknown whether there are any "creatures" in it.

So Wu Liang kept beating the mysterious snare drum just in case.

However, his eyes had already turned to the seven boulders on the other side of the river that were suspected to be some kind of mysterious statues.

Among them, Wu Liang can see the piece closest to here the most clearly. Although he still can't see all the details on it, he can already confirm that it is not a face or a head, but a squatting (kneeling) ) portrait sculpture.

It's just that the image of this kind of portrait sculpture is really abstract.

There are raised grooves engraved on the top of its head, which looks like a big back combed back, and on the top of the big back, it is turned back to form a high raised bulge that looks like a high bun. rise.

What is even more weird and weird is the face of this kind of portrait.

Although this face has the same facial features as normal humans, and the facial features are all carved in the correct positions, but the details of each facial features are very strange.

Its face is very thin and long, with high bulging cheekbones, two thick eyebrows, two prominent big eyes and a big and wide nose under the eyebrows, and a big and wide nose under the nose. A wide, flat, closed mouth that runs almost across the entire chin.

Also.

The limbs of this kind of portrait are also short and thick, which looks extremely uncoordinated, and although it maintains a squatting posture, this posture is more like a half-squat, with the knees wide apart, which is similar to that of the Celestial Dynasty. There are very obvious differences in the standard sitting posture in etiquette.

"Is this... a portrait?"

Also looking at the opposite stone statue across the river, Awang asked subconsciously.

His tone was clearly questionable.

Let’s say it’s a portrait, it should be a portrait. After all, this stone statue has a nose, eyes, arms and legs, and its basic characteristics are more in line with the appearance of a human being.

But the weird face and strange body shape are very different from the image he recognizes.

Awang is not an uninformed person. Living on the Silk Road, he has definitely seen more races than people living in the Central Plains, but he has never seen a race that fits this face and body shape. .

"Ah? What did you say?"

But Wu Liang lost his mind for some reason, and only came back to his senses when he heard Awang's voice, and looked at Awang suspiciously.

"It's nothing, but I think the shape of this stone statue is very strange. It looks like a human portrait, but it doesn't look like it. It doesn't look like it, but there are many similarities."

Awang felt that he had disturbed Wu Liang, so he said in a somewhat unconfident manner.

"Oh, I didn't say too well."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, but said ambiguously.

In fact, when he first saw this kind of stone statue, he felt very familiar. After taking a closer look, he already understood why he felt familiar.

Sanxingdui mask!
The Sanxingdui site is known as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the 20th century. The site has a history of 3000-5000 years from later generations, and it is 1000-3000 years from the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Among the discoveries of the Sanxingdui ruins, what caught the world's attention most, except for the nearly four-meter-high bronze sacred tree, were those mysterious masks that countless archaeologists in later generations could not give a reasonable interpretation of!

Because those masks are just too weird.

Not only does it not match the facial features of East Asian races, but looking at all kinds of races around the world, it is still impossible to find facial features that match them.

But magically and eerily.

This mask is very similar to the alien images created in many film and television works in later generations, so that some people in later generations will always compare Sanxingdui with aliens...

Wu Liang doesn't believe in the theory of aliens.

There may be aliens in the universe. After all, human beings have not reached the end of the universe so far, and in this endless universe, who can say that there is no planet that is similar to the earth's environment, civilization, or even What about planets far beyond human civilization?
But until Wu Liang crossed, there was no reliable evidence in the world that could prove that aliens had or might have reached the earth.

So instead of believing in the theory of aliens, Wu Liang is more willing to believe in the mysterious ancient civilization and history on the earth.

It's just that the stone statue with the same face as the Sanxingdui mask appeared in front of him, but he couldn't quite understand it...

He knew very well where the Sanxingdui of the later generations was. It was in the land of Shu, which was far away from here. To get there, not only had to cross the Qilian Mountains, but also a vast and sparsely populated land. At this time, it did not belong to the territory of the Han Dynasty at all, but It is not an exaggeration to say that Qinghai, the territory of the Huns, is full of difficulties and dangers.

If it is necessary to link Shu with this place.

Wu Liang could only think of the Qiang people.

As far as he knows, the Qiang people originally lived in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, and a large part of them are in the Gansu area where Wu Liang is now. There are even many historical surnames who are Qiang people, such as the emperor of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The "Ji" surname and the "Jiang" surname, even Dayu who controlled the water was a Qiang.

Later, with the expansion of the Xiongnu, the living environment of the Qiang people was squeezed, and many Qiang tribes crossed the Qilian Mountains and migrated all the way south to the land of Shu to settle down.

It is also because of this that if one had to talk about the inevitable connection between Sanxingdui in Shu and the stone statues here, Wu Liang would first think of the Qiang people.

But if we say whether this very similar and mysterious Sanxingdui mask is related to the Qiang people.

There is no conclusion here. At least as far as Wu Liang knows, the archaeological materials discovered by later generations combined with the research of Qiang culture by many scholars have not found any necessary connection between the two, and many Qiang people's There is no similar thing found in antiquities and customs.

"Uncle Awang?"

After pondering for a while, Wu Liang suddenly turned around and asked Awang again, "I remember there are a few small wooden boats at the foot of the Great Wall, can those small wooden boats still be used?"

"It can be used. Those are the boats that the clansmen usually use when they go fishing in the lake. In order to prevent them from being washed away when the water rises, the clansmen carry those wooden boats up every time they are used up."

Awang nodded and asked, "My lord, don't you plan to cross the river?"

"I really want to take a closer look."

Wu Liang nodded.

"For safety's sake, why don't you wait for me to go back and summon the clansmen before crossing the river?"

Awang became more cautious this time, and persuaded, "This place is full of weirdness and weirdness. I'm afraid it's not right for you to cross the river rashly. If there are more people, you can feel more at ease."

"No need."

Wu Liang shook his head slightly, and then said, "Kabul, please take Uncle Awang back first, and call the people who accompanied me here, and we will deal with it ourselves. As for your clansmen, before I find out the situation, It’s best not to teach them to come here rashly, so as to avoid any accidents.”

"Okay, young master, be careful, Uncle Awang, let's go back first, if there is anything, young master will come to inform us."

Out of respect and admiration for Wu Liang, Kabul obeyed him. Although he was still a bit reluctant and curious, he still walked towards the distance with Ngawang who was also curious.

Soon after.

Wu Liang and Dian Wei had already lifted a wooden boat into the water, and then crossed the big river smoothly.

But when he finally came behind the stone statue, he immediately noticed a detail that was different from ordinary humans, and he was very surprised: "This...could it be the Goki people who only appeared in the ancient epics of the Qiang people?" ?!"
