Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 3

Only half of the chariot and horse pit on the right has been excavated, and bones of three types of birds have been unearthed, with different sizes.The smallest one is more than [-] meters long; the largest one is more than ten meters long!
On the edge of the chariot and horse pit, the archaeological team surrounded by a circle, discussing there.

"Old Wang, what kind of bird do you think this is?"

"I don't know, such a big bird has long been extinct!"

"Mr. Lu, you are late! You have made great achievements in paleontology, so hurry up and see what kind of bird this is."

Lu Tianming squatted down, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "I think this is the legendary phoenix."

A young man smiled and asked, "Mr. Lu, there are three kinds of birds here! Which one do you think is the Phoenix?"

Lu Tianming replied: "These are all phoenixes. Legend has it that there are five kinds of phoenixes. The green phoenix is ​​called the pheasant, the red phoenix is ​​called the quail, the yellow phoenix is ​​called the yan, the white phoenix is ​​called the phoenix, and the purple phoenix is ​​called the pheasant. Feng, also known as the five birds, are the blue bird, the red bird, the yellow bird, the white bird and the black bird."

An old man with a white beard tried his best to open his eyes wide, looked at the bottom of the chariot and horse pit, and said, "According to what you said, there are still two kinds of birds that haven't been unearthed yet?"

Lu Tianming glanced at him and said with a smile, "Mr. Qian, I'm just guessing. There are too few records about the phoenix, which only exists in legends. Who knows what the phoenix looks like. If we really find the other two kinds of birds, maybe It is the legendary five-phoenix chariot."

The old man surnamed Qian said: "Have you noticed that the bird bones here are very well preserved, the bones are crystal clear, and contain organic matter, much better than the tigers, leopards, and bears over there!"

Lu Tianming praised: "That's right! It's so well preserved, it's like a fresh bone! I even wonder if the DNA can be taken out."

Lu Cheng watched from the side, thinking to himself: "According to the cultivation novels, the phoenix is ​​a divine bird, and its realm is higher than that of tigers, leopards and bears. Perhaps it is because of this that the bones are perfectly preserved..."

He saw his father squatting there and did not leave, so he quietly left the chariot and horse pit alone to see the huge stone tomb.There are more people around the stone mound, at least 20 old masters, standing or sitting, intoxicated, not even a single person talking.

The top of the cairn is fully exposed, and only half of the side walls are exposed.

On the white smooth stone surface at the top, there are thousands of black dots, like a huge star map.

On the side walls are petroglyphs, which are densely packed and criss-crossed, making it difficult to see clearly at a glance.

Lu Cheng stared at the black spot on the top for a while, only to feel that his eyes were dry, dizzy, overwhelmed and precarious.

He shook his head abruptly, and looked back at those old masters. Some of their complexions were pale, some were blue, some were pitch-black, and they were all dejected.

Some old masters couldn't sit still, and their bodies were crooked and fell to the ground.

At this time, several young people came up, grabbed the arm of the fallen old master, and helped them to a distance.

The old master didn't struggle, as if he had become demented.

Lu Cheng didn't dare to look at the thousands of stars anymore, so he looked down at the petroglyphs on the stone wall.

There are little people on the rock paintings, posing in various poses, it looks like a comic book!
His heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "Could this be the secret book of cultivation?"

There are texts under the comic strips, and the strokes are complicated, neither simplified nor traditional, not even Zhong Dingwen, oracle bone inscriptions. Lu Cheng took a second look, and his eyes felt dry again!
He closed his eyes and waited for a long time before opening them.

At this time, Lu Cheng heard the old master in the distance lament: "Oh, I finally recovered! Did I faint just now?"

"Yes, Mr. Guo, you fainted twice today, you can't watch it anymore!"

"Oh, I didn't dare to look at the star map just now, I can't hold it just by looking at the rock paintings!"

"Old Guo, can you decipher those words?"

"No, it's so old that it won't be recognizable for a while. Are there any photos? I can't see the petroglyphs. Maybe it's better to look at the photos."

"The filming is in progress. In two days, the surrounding soil will be dug up, and a complete video will be submitted to you, and each expert will get a copy."

"Okay, I'll go back and rest first. Unexpectedly, looking at the rock paintings quietly for a while turned out to be a deadly chore."

At this time, Lu Cheng vaguely felt that the stone tomb in front of him might be related to the legendary cultivator, or it might really be the tomb of an immortal, and those petroglyphs and star maps were the treasures left by the immortal!

He thought to himself: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Practicing according to the poses of these villains, it is possible to develop the supernatural powers of flying into the sky and escaping from the ground. Unfortunately, these words cannot be read, so there is no way to practice like them! What a pity!"

He looked at it for a while, but felt dizzy again, so he didn't dare to look any further, and left the stone mound temporarily.

In front of the stone mound, there are eight accompanying tombs. The leftmost tomb has been dug up, and there is only one skeleton inside, but it is this skeleton that shows its uniqueness.

First of all, this skeleton is three meters tall, much taller than the average person!

Secondly, like the phoenix bird, the skeleton of the giant is also perfectly preserved, with a kind of beauty like crystal clear jade.

Lu Cheng knew that if it was an ordinary person, the skeleton would have been buried for thousands of years, and would have decayed long ago. With a light touch, it could be turned into dust. It is a miracle in the world that it is crystal clear like jade!

He watched carefully, and found that thin lines of patterns emerged on the white jade-like bones, just like the talismans drawn by Taoists.

He felt that there was a mystery hidden in it, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried!

Don't say that he, a young man, can't understand it. Perhaps no one in the world can understand it.

Not far from this accompanying tomb is the magical altar.

The altar is carved from a whole piece of white jade, with a diameter of more than one foot, which is extremely magical!

Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Even in today's world, it is difficult to find such a large white jade! I don't know where the ancients mined it and polished it so smooth. How difficult is it?"

Looking carefully, this white jade altar is also engraved with strange patterns, which seem to be some kind of ancient characters, and also look like natural thunder cloud patterns.

There is still a small gap around the white jade.

Lu Cheng counted, exactly 64 gaps, coincident with 64 [-] hexagrams.

At the gap, there is white soil, which is quite different from the surrounding loess.

Lu Cheng thought to himself: "Could it be that this altar is a teleportation array? Those white powders are the traces left by the exhausted energy of the spirit stone?"

Although there are various mysteries in this tomb, but there are so many archaeologists present, no one dared to say "strange power and chaotic gods".
