Chapter 450: Labyrinth, symbol

The low and frantic murmur echoed faintly in this tunnel.
But the varicoloured cat, Yu Chi, Kai Zia-Mason and Gu Jun have been away for half an hour, without end, turned a few corners, did not see the figure, the electric lights on the wall were exactly the same, the vibration continued If the voice of the shares is non-existent, it has always been this distance, as if nothing has changed.
Here, there is another aisle, connecting eight directions, and there is also an iron staircase leading down.
But this should not be the place where they first came. The iron stairs are different.
Because of this, the variegated cat, Wu Shiyu, had to admit a fact, okay, got lost.
"Meow." She spread her claws and fell to the middle of the aisle to show the fact that she couldn't lead the way, and the other thing was to take a break.
"Don't you feel anything?" Gu Jun asked. He didn't have any. He felt very confused here.
Wu Shiyu shook her head, she thought she had, but like a carrot hanging in front of the horse, one more step, it was a little further away. She thinks the best way is to make the horse's mouth longer, or have a long tongue like an anteater, so that it can be eaten.
Gu Jun looked around, and there was a moment of panic in my heart just now, what is happening ...
Time, less than an hour and a half left.
Kezia Mason also seemed to have no idea. She was 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. "Come and see the carvings on these walls. I have noticed it for a long time. I walked here from the entrance of the stairs to the wall all the way. The body is full of carvings. "
"Well." Gu Jun also naturally noticed that, in fact, he had talked with Yu Chi before and thought it was part of the ceremony or the decoration of the altar building.
But now Yu Chi has some new ideas. His face is flushed with red hair, he is holding a beard, he has a lot of words to say, but it is difficult to organize language because of the abnormal ptsd.
"These are rock paintings, symbols, and words ... how to say, rock is a visual medium! So all these images carved on stones and mountain walls in ancient times, whether they were figurative images or geometric symbols , Can be regarded as a mark, a symbol. "
Gu Jun nodded, "Understood."
"Meow." Wu Shiyu over there was also listening, which is easy to understand. Men and women are all human beings.
"Symbols are words ..." Yu Chi scratched his head. "It should be said that there are three oldest written languages ​​of human civilization, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Sumerian cuneiform, Chinese characters-that is, Oracle bones. These are pictographs. Developed in the past. "
Through the dim light, Gu Jun looked at the fine symbols on the wall, "Yu Team, are you saying that these symbols on the wall actually have meaning?"
"Yes, I want to say this. These minutes may be a whole mantra, or a sacrificial offering, or what history is recorded."
Yu Chi said that his eyes were a little fanatic. If all these symbols can be extended, how much can be studied.
But Yu Chi did n’t just want to say this.
I understand some linguistics. The more I look at this wall, the more I discover some ancient hieroglyphs. Look, that is the word
worm
in Oracle bones. Hieroglyphs It ’s a descriptive image of objects, concepts, and behavior, and it ’s like a bug. "
Gu Jun can really see the shadows in it, like a bug, a snake, or an iron hook that is only available in later generations.
When you think about it carefully, there is some inexplicable surge in your heart.
The characters they use now are evolved, but they are still used when their ancestors may still be living with Ru Mao drinking blood.
Of the three oldest elephant-shaped scripts, the only one that is still used by humans.
What do they mean when they appear on the wall here?
"From the entrance of the iron ladder to the bottom, I found that Oracle bones appeared less and less, Sumerian cuneiforms were more and more, and then Egyptian hieroglyphs were the most, and Oracle bones were almost invisible. I guess this is related to time, The further inside, the sooner the symbol on the wall is born. "
"Captain Gu, everything will return to the beginning of human civilization, and those of us at the end of civilization will go back and start to be connected with the end."
"Writing is one of the beginnings of civilization, and writing can be regarded as an important information technology."
Yu Chi said chaotically, but also expressed his meaning: "The belief of the locust believers is not so simple. It may not only be a matter of a bunch of bugs, but also related to the power of space and time and the power of civilization development. Their altar needs to be built like this. I think we are already in the altar. "
Technology? This word made Gu Jun's brow wrinkle a little uncomfortably.
Technology is the means by which mankind and the Iss rely on to fight the dark forces ...
"Meow?" Wu Shiyu asked, so what should I do to reach our destination?
Or has it already arrived, and now it's thumping and smashing on the wall, biting and nibbling, so that even if the altar is destroyed?
"She is asking what to do." Gu Jun could only hear this.
"We follow the timeline and go back!" Yu Chi said while reaching out to touch the symbols on the concrete wall. "These symbols have their birth order. Humans existed before the advent of civilization. Primitives and apes ... You see, there are almost no hieroglyphs here, but a lot of Stone Age symbols appear, this is the original Niu Yan carved, this is a feather-shaped figure-each of which has three to four forks, all of which are the Middle Stone Age Rock art ... "
This knowledge of archaeology can only be understood by Yu Chi himself.
Therefore, Gu Jun couldn't give any advice. Kai Zia-Mason was standing on the side, even more incomprehensible. Wu Shiyu followed suit.
"Yu team, you lead the way." Gu Jun said, "Maybe this is why you are here ... we all have reasons."
"Okay, let me try. This is the Middle Stone Age ..." Yu Chi now walked a short distance to the other seven intersections, groping through the symbols on the wall, and judging the time points represented by each direction ~ www .EbookFREE.me ~ Some intersections lead to the Neolithic Age, which is the future for the Middle Stone Age.
And if they want to go back to the past and return to the original point, they need to take the road leading to the Paleolithic era.
However, there are three passages, all with obvious and equivalent Paleolithic symbols.
But among these, there is only one passage with the word "worm" oracle bone inscription, the only one.
"This word has always appeared and never disappeared." Yu Chi scratched his head and said, "It shouldn't appear, it shouldn't have appeared long ago, and even the Egyptian hieroglyphs are gone. How could there be Oracle bones in the Paleolithic era? Unless ... ... it transcends time. "
Gu Jun looked at the worm word like a snake.
Beyond time is the believer of the locust god? Or are they intruders?
There was only one hour and ten minutes left. With this channel selected, the three of them stepped back into the channel as soon as the cat stepped in.
I just don't know if they are fish caught with insect bait.
