Chapter 450 Labyrinth, Symbol 【Ask for a Monthly Pass】

The low and wild curse sound echoed faintly in this underground passage.

But the variegated cat, Yu Chi, Kaiziya Mason and Gu Jun, had been walking for half an hour, and there was no end. After turning a few turns, I didn't see anyone. The lights on the wall were exactly the same, and the vibration continued. The faint sound was always at such a distance, and there seemed to be no change.

When we arrived here, another corridor was connected to eight directions, and there was also an iron staircase above us that could lead down.

But this place should not be where they first came, and the iron stairs are new and old.

It is also because of this that the variegated cat, also known as Wu Shiyu, has to admit a fact, okay, I'm lost.

"Meow." She spread her claws and fell in the middle of the corridor, indicating that she could not lead the way, and in addition, she needed to take a break.

"Do you have no feelings?" Gu Jun asked. He didn't have it himself, and the perception here was very chaotic.

Wu Shiyu shook her head. She thought she had it, but like the carrot hanging in front of the horse, she would take one more step and get a little further away. She thought the best way was to grow the horse's mouth longer, or have a long tongue like an anteater, so that she could eat it.

Gu Jun looked around and felt a little panic just now. Something was happening...

Time is less than an hour and a half left.

Kezia Mason also looked unconscious. She was very interested in the electric lights on the wall, which was a novelty for her.

"Captain Gu, I have some ideas." At this time, Yu Chi walked to the wall, "Let's take a look at the carvings on these walls. I have noticed them very early. From the entrance of the stairs to this place, all the way here, the walls are full of carvings."

"Yeah." Gu Jun naturally noticed that he had talked with Yu Chi before, thinking that it was part of the ceremony or decoration of the altar building.

But now Yu Chi has some new ideas, his face is red, he is holding his beard, and has a lot to say, but it is difficult to organize language because of the abnormal ptsd.

"These are rock paintings, symbols, and words... How to say it, rocks are a visual medium! So in ancient times, all these images on the mountain walls, whether concrete images or geometric symbols, can be regarded as marks and symbols."

Gu Jun nodded, "I understand."

"Meow." Wu Shiyu over there was also listening. It was easy to understand. Both men and women were human.

"Symbols are words..." Yu Chi scratched his head, "It should be said that there are three most ancient written languages ​​in human civilization, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Sumerian cuneiforms, and Chinese characters - that is, oracle bone scripts. These are all developed by the past of pictographic symbols."

Through the hazy light, Gu Jun looked at the delicate symbols on the wall, "Just Yu, do you want to say that these symbols on the wall actually have meanings?"

"Yes, I want to say this. These minutes may be a whole mantra, a sacrificial text, or a history that records."

Yu Chi said, his eyes were a little crazy. If all these symbols could be expanded, how many things could be found.

But Yu Chi didn't just want to say this, "I understand some linguistics. The more I look at this wall, the more I find some ancient hieroglyphs. Look, that is the word "worm" in oracle bone script. Hieroglyphs are descriptive images of objects, concepts and behaviors, and that is like a bug."

Gu Jun can indeed see the shadows from it, like a bug, a snake, or an iron hook that only exists in later generations.

When I think about this matter carefully, my heart was inexplicably surging.

Although the words they are using now evolved, they are using them when their ancestors may still live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood.

Among the three oldest pictograms, the only one is still used by humans.

What does it mean when they appear on the wall?

"From the entrance of the iron ladder to this point, I found that oracle bones appeared less and less, Sumerian cuneiform characters were more and more, and Egyptian hieroglyphs were the most, and oracle bones were almost invisible. I guess this is due to time. The more I go inside, the earlier the characters on the wall were born."

"Captain Gu, everything will return to the beginning of human civilization, and we, those of the end of civilization, will start to be connected with the end."

"Writing is one of the beginnings of civilization, and words can be regarded as an important information technology."

Yu Chi was confused, but he also expressed his meaning: "The beliefs of these locust god believers are not that simple. They may not be just a bunch of insects, but are related to the power of time and space and the power of civilization development. Only in this way can their altars need to be built like this. I think we are already in the altar."

Technology? The word "Gu Jun's brows frowned a little uncomfortably.

Technology is the means by which humans and Isles rely on to fight against the power of darkness...

"Meow?" Wu Shiyu asked, then, what should we do to reach our destination?

It's still here, and now I'll beat and smash it on the wall, bite and bite it, which will destroy the altar?

"She is asking what to do." Gu Jun could only hear this.

"Let's go back along the timeline!" Yu Chi said, reaching out to touch the symbols on the concrete wall. "These symbols have their birth order. Humans have existed before the emergence of civilization. Primitive people, apes... Look, there are almost no hieroglyphs here, but the symbols of the Stone Age appear in large numbers. This is the original ox rock carving, this is the feather figure - each with three to four forks, which are the Mesolithic rock paintings..."

Only Yu Chi himself understands these archaeological knowledge.

So Gu Jun couldn't give any advice, and Kaiziya Mason stood aside and didn't understand it. Wu Shiyu took it as he went.

"Maybe Yu, you lead the way." Gu Jun said, "Maybe this is why you are here...we all have their own reasons."

"Okay, let's try it. This is the Mesopotamian Age..." Yu Chi walked a short distance to the other seven intersections, exploring the symbols on the wall, and judging the time points represented by various directions. Some intersections lead to the Neolithic Age, which is the future for the Mesopotamian Age.

And if they want to go back to the past and return to the origin, they need to walk the intersection to the Paleolithic era.

However, there are three channels, all with Paleolithic symbols that are obvious and comparable in number.

But among them, there is only one channel and the oracle bone inscription with the word "worm" and the only oracle bone inscription.

"This word has been appearing and never disappeared." Yu Chi said with a head scratching his head, "It shouldn't have appeared, it shouldn't have appeared long ago. Even Egyptian hieroglyphs are gone. How could there be oracle bone inscriptions in the Paleolithic era? Unless... it transcends time."

Gu Jun looked at the word "worm", like a snake or a hook.

Are the Locust God believers? Or are they intruders?

With less than an hour and ten minutes left, the passage had been selected, and the three of them took steps again and walked towards the depths of the passage.

I just don’t know if they were fish that were hooked by insect bait.
