Seeing Xiao Niannian digging hard, Xie Yunzhi looked a little embarrassed.
He always felt that if they did this, they were digging someone's grave.
But even the little kid went up there to dig, so it wouldn't be good if he didn't go.
After all, digging graves is also about finding clues.
It was a last resort, and I believe the owner of this skull would not blame them.
After doing some psychological construction for himself, Xie Yunzhi stepped forward and explored with Xiao Niannian...
Ah, no, it's digging.
Xiao Niannian waved her arms quickly and quickly dug out the skull.
She respectfully took out the skull and put it aside, then clasped her hands and bowed to the skull.
"Sorry, sorry, we were just passing by. We didn't mean to disturb our seniors. I'm sorry."
Then, she started digging again.
I don’t know if it’s due to more than three thousand years of sedimentation, but the soil is very soft and can be dug easily.
Little Niannian dug hard, but she didn't find what she wanted.
Instead, another skull was dug up...
do not care!
Even after digging, there is not much difference between digging out one skull and two skulls.
Then, she watched as Xie Yunzhi also dug out a skull...
Xie Yunzhi was a little scared and stopped digging.
But Xiao Niannian seemed to be angry with herself and started digging again.
Xie Yunzhi swallowed his saliva and had no choice but to bravely dig along.
Dim lights, dark interior.
The two little ones were lying on the ground digging for something seriously.
Next to them, a row of skulls were neatly placed.
This picture is so weird that no matter who sees it, they feel a little scared.
When the tenth skull was dug out, Xiao Niannian was so angry that she dropped the stone in her hand.
They were like oxen plowing the ground, plowing the land indoors all over.
Fortunately, the space here is not big, otherwise they would have been exhausted to death.
But even so, they didn't find any clues to get out.
Instead, many more skulls were dug up.
Little Niannian slumped on the ground, staring at the skulls and worrying.
This is so wrong. Why are there so many skulls?
A skull represents a person who was once alive.
Apart from the skull, they saw no other body tissue.
This is not difficult to understand.
Because the human skull is the hardest bone in the body, it will not easily decay and oxidize.
And other body tissues, presumably after so many years, have long since rotted away.
Then will the clues they are looking for also rot with them?
The more Xiao Niannian thought about it, the more likely it seemed that it was possible, and she felt like crying.
After working on it for a long time, it was all in vain.
She is tired and hungry now.
Xie Yunzhi was not much better, his mouth was so dry that the skin peeled off.
But he was still digging there as if he didn't know he was tired.
Xiao Niannian just wanted him to stop.
Suddenly, there was a sound of stones and metal colliding from his hands.
This is something we have dug up!
The spirits of both of them were lifted up, and Xiao Nian Nian ran over happily.
"What did you dig up? Let me take a look!"
It was a shield made of bronze, half buried in the soil.
Xiao Niannian started digging directly, and worked together with Xie Yunzhi to dig out the bronze shield.
The bronze shield was very heavy, and after brushing off the heavy dust on it, they finally saw its entirety.
The back of the shield is engraved with some patterns of vines and branches, which seem meaningless.
But there are many ancient words written on the front of the shield.
Little Niannian recognizes these words.
These characters are all written in oracle bones and are the earliest Chinese characters that appeared.
They are mainly recorded on tortoise shells or animal bones for divination, and are occasionally engraved on some bronze vessels.
In modern times, her grandfather taught her Oracle Bone Writing.
Grandpa knows much more oracle bones than those experts who specialize in oracle bone inscriptions.
When talking about oracle bone inscriptions, my grandfather always has a look of melancholy on his face, as if he is missing something.
It's a pity that little Niannian has no interest in those strange characters, so she doesn't learn them very well, but she can almost recognize them.
She could recognize most of the words on the shield.
She pouted and blew the remaining dust on the shield, then looked at the oracle bones carefully.
But the more she read these words, the more frightened she became.
At the end, her face turned pale.
On this shield, everything that happened on this land is recorded in detail.
Xiao Niannian now finally understands why there are so many skulls here.
But she also knew that she and Xie Yunzhi would never get out of here again...
These skulls belong to a group of Taoist magicians more than three thousand years ago.
When the fat legacy was first sealed, a large amount of spiritual power was needed to activate the formation.
They exhausted their spiritual power, and in order to seal the fat legacy, they did not hesitate to use themselves as part of the formation, using their essence and blood to activate the formation, and finally died together in this dark room.
In fact, from the beginning, they were determined to die and never thought about getting out alive.
Because here, there is no exit at all.
After they entered the cave, the people above sealed all the exits.
The shield also criticized the violence and cruelty of those in power at that time.
Because this plan of sacrificing the sorcerer to seal the fat relic was thought up by the monarch at that time.
These people did not dare to disobey orders, but they were unwilling to do so, so they recorded everything on this shield.
They may be looking forward to one day seeing the light of day again with this shield.
Let future generations know and be grateful for their dedication, so that their sacrifices will not be in vain.
But they probably wouldn't have thought that future generations would no longer recognize oracle bone inscriptions.
No one in modern times or in ancient times can recognize all these oracle bone inscriptions.
They would never have imagined that the shield was actually dug out by two cubs.
Not only were the shields dug out, but their skulls were also dug out.
Little Niannian wanted to cry a little, not only for these people who couldn't help themselves, but also for herself.
If this place is really discovered by future generations, then not only ten skulls will be dug up, but twelve.
The other two skulls belong to her and Xie Yunzhi.
Because there is no way out here, and there is no food or drink.
They couldn't survive even two days without eating or drinking.
etc!
Food and drink...
Xiao Niannian suddenly remembered that there was plenty of food and drink in the large space of her farm.
The animals and plants on the farm are constantly growing, enough to feed her and Xie Yunzhi for ten lifetimes.
Moreover, the seal in her body will weaken over time, but on the contrary, her spiritual power will strengthen.
When the time comes, she eats hard and accumulates a lot of spiritual power.
One day, she will be able to escape and fly out with Xie Yunzhi.
But that day won't come very soon, and it will have to wait ten or eight years at the earliest.
But compared to death, waiting is nothing.
What's more, she didn't wait alone for ten years, she had a companion by her side.
Xiao Niannian turned her eyes and looked at Xie Yunzhi who was still looking at the shield.
Although this person likes to put on a bad face all day long and doesn't like to talk, he is still better than nothing. This chapter has been completed!
