The first time I heard this kind of sound was in the secret passage in my grandfather's study.
At that time, I had just seen my father's body in the ice coffin, and I felt very nervous. Therefore, I always felt that the "thumping" sound was my own imagination.
Later, this kind of sound would appear in my life intentionally or unintentionally. Although it was not frequent, it left a deep impression on me.
Today, this sound came from the armadillo bone armor fossil on the snowy mountain. It came out really clearly. I suddenly had an urge to go in and see what kind of material the sound was coming from.
"Zhou Cang, are we still going in? This sound sounds like someone is tapping their teeth. I feel a little scared when I hear this." Xiangyu pulled the corner of my clothes and said.
"Xiang Yu, I'll go in and take a look first. If there's no danger, you can follow back." I said to Xiang Yu.
"No, if you leave me alone outside, it will be even more terrifying. What if those money snakes suddenly appear again?" Xiangyu looked at me and said firmly.
I know that she just changed her words to make me feel more comfortable. In fact, she still didn't want me to risk my life alone.
"Xiangyu, let's go in together."
As I said this, I took one step ahead of Xiangyu and stepped into the gap in the armadillo fossil bone armor first.
As soon as I entered the hemispherical fossil, the first thing I felt was the temperature.
There is only a layer of fossils less than five centimeters thick between the outside and the outside, but the temperature changes are very different.
If it is winter outside the armadillo's bony nails, then it is as mild as late spring and early summer inside the bony nails.
Another aspect is light.
According to the logic of common sense, although there is light coming in from the gap in the bone armor, it should be dark overall.
But the space in front of us, which is about the size of half a basketball court, is filled with light.
Moreover, the light is particularly soft, and the feeling is very similar to the light emitted by the huge luminous pearl in the Wawushan Ancient Temple.
At this time, Xiangyu also came in.
She was now at the entrance of the cave behind me, as if she couldn't adapt to this sudden change.
"Zhou Cang, it turns out that the bursts of banging sounds are actually coming from these big wall clocks?" Xiangyu said in an incredible tone.
Yes, I also find it difficult to do this.
This hemispherical bone armor fossil is filled with wall clocks about the size of a piano.
Bronze wall clock.
Looking at the rust on the bronze, we can judge that these wall clocks have existed in this hemispherical bone armor fossil for at least thousands of years.
But ancient people mainly used astronomical phenomena and the continuous movement of flowing matter to keep time.
Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty made a water-leak armillary sphere and used a gear system to connect the armillary image and the timing clepsydra. The dripping water from the clepsydra pushed the armillary sphere to rotate evenly, making exactly one revolution per day. This was the earliest mechanical clock.
The structure of the wall clocks in front of us is very close to modern clocks.
Is it possible that someone used ancient bronze to make these wall clocks?
"Zhou Cang, why do I have a feeling that these bronze clocks were probably made in the era we live in, and the reason why they are like this now is because they have been here for thousands of years." Xiang Yu
He said with a sad face.
"Xiang Yu, what do you mean?" I felt like I understood Xiang Yu's words, but at the same time I didn't seem to understand.
"That is to say, when we passed through that blue nebula, we might have traveled thousands of years away." Xiangyu looked at me, his eyes a little dazed.
No way!
Well, if I try to survive, I might not be able to return to my old life.
Suddenly, it was as if the breath I had been holding in my heart was broken and released, and my whole body sank.
"Zhou Cang, do you think we can go back again?" Xiangyu moved closer to me, glanced at the wall clocks around him, and said a little desperately.
"Okay, don't think too much. No matter what the situation, you can't let yourself get distracted. Moreover, everything now is just our own imagination. What it is in fact cannot be said." I comforted.
Zhu Xiangyu said.
"Then what should we do now?" Xiangyu looked a little better after hearing what I said.
"We went up to take a look. You see, these wall clocks are still running normally. Moreover, there are so many wall clocks, and each of them displays a different time. I think there should be some hidden pattern in this.
"I said to Xiangyu, and then walked to my right.
I walked up to a wall clock and observed it carefully. These wall clocks were not like our modern clocks, which only have hour, minute, second and three hands. Instead, there was another small short hand running at a very fast speed.
According to the principle of the hands of our modern clocks, the slower the hand is, the shorter it is. However, on the wall clock, the shortest hand is the fastest.
What kind of principle is this?
I stared at the rapidly rotating pointer in front of me in a daze. I couldn't help but raise my hand and touch the pointer with my fingers.
I don't know whether it was because of the obstruction of my fingers or some other reason, but almost as soon as I touched the rapidly rotating pointer, the pointer suddenly stopped.
At the same time, all the wall clocks inside the armadillo bone armor fossil began to ring.
For a moment, a chaotic and noisy "dong dong dong" sound resounded throughout the small and spacious space.
My head suddenly hurt sharply.
But for some reason, Xiangyu beside me didn't seem to be affected by the ringing of the bells, and was still observing with concentration in front of the fossil wall covered with wall clocks.
I held my head and wanted to call Xiangyu, but I couldn't speak. My throat seemed to be tightly locked by someone's hands, and I was almost suffocated.
Amidst the uninterrupted sound, the scenery in front of me gradually blurred, as if only hearing was left in the whole world.
I felt like I had fallen into darkness, accompanied by the deafening ringing of bells and the subtle, rustling sounds of unknown creatures.
The body has been sinking, but it feels a bit slow and the body's gravity seems to have decreased a lot.
Could it be that this snow mountain is no longer on the earth?
Otherwise, why would the gravity become smaller?
I still couldn't open my eyes, but the ringing in my ears gradually weakened.
"Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang,"
Suddenly, I heard Xiangyu's shout.
Could it be that this is all a dream?
Is it still my imagination?
Every time these snake skin scales appear, I have hallucinations, and this time, there is probably no exception.
I struggled to open my eyes, and a white light flashed into my eyes, which made people couldn't help but cover it with their hands.
"Zhou Cang, you scared me to death. As soon as you entered this fossil cave, you fainted. No matter how you screamed, you didn't respond. I thought the effect of Guiyuan Pill had expired." Xiangyu said, Huarong
Eclipsed.
"Well," I originally wanted to sit up, but as soon as I sat up, my head hurt sharply, and I couldn't help but groan.
"What happened?"
The expression on my face should be very painful, so the unintentional moan I just made made Xiangyu very nervous.
"It's okay. Maybe I hit my head when I fainted, so my head hurts a little now," I tried my best to smile at Xiangyu.
"Are you really okay? But your face looks very bad, and you feel very uncomfortable." Xiangyu said.
I struggled to get up, "How can you be so fragile?"
Just when I said these words, something seemed to move on top of the hemispherical armadillo fossil. I couldn't help but raise my head and squint my eyes to take a closer look.
Oh my god, there are countless unknown creatures that look like lizards lying on top of the hemispherical fossil cave.
Those ugly monsters, each with a pair of green eyes, are looking at us eerily.
