Chapter 559 Portrait

There were a large number of messy footprints on the ground on the second floor. Although it was covered with white dust, some traces could still be found after careful searching.

Obviously, the little brother and the others have also searched extensively here, but the footprints are too messy to provide any useful reference.

It is worth mentioning that there are many complex words engraved on the beams on the second floor.

Based on a rough judgment, these texts come from different eras, different regions, and even different cultures.

Almost every word in every line of text is a different writing system.

"Made, the only ones in this world who can do such outrageous things are the Zhang family, right? Damn it, if an expert on ancient writing comes here, why shouldn't he curse on the spot?"

Hu Ming looked at these incomprehensible words and grinned.

Ancient characters are different from modern characters. Each character contains multiple meanings, which need to be guessed and understood based on the context.

Especially in some remote language families, it is impossible to decipher the characters without understanding the historical customs and cultures that have disappeared in the long river of history.

But in this case

Hu Ming can guarantee that even if the top ancient writing experts from the Four-Nine City come, they can torture those old professors with just one sentence or one word.

The cliff is painful and happy!

After all, the Zhang Family Ancient Building contains the most authentic and complete history of China!

Once all the words here can be deciphered, there will be no mystery in the eyes of scholars about the evolution of Chinese civilization since five thousand years ago.

But the truth of history will definitely shock those old scholars who firmly believe in science, and even make them doubt life and shatter their outlook on life.

After all, the many mysteries in the real history of this world are no less than those in fairy tales, right?

Think about it, immortality, resurrection from the dead, and the mythical special powers possessed by extraterrestrial objects. Why on earth would you explain this to me using modern science?

Of course, the premise of everything is that experts have the opportunity to come here, successfully decipher these complex words, and return alive.

However, these things are meaningless to Hu Ming and others, and they are not very interested in them.

Wu Xie is interested in his brother's past, not the true history of China.

It is worth mentioning that the first few floors of the ancient Zhang family building deep in the mountain are mostly functional places, warehouses, or residences of clan members. There is a high probability that there will be no danger here.

No matter how crazy the Zhang family is, they will not create a lot of stuff in these places.

Hu Ming and the others were not interested in the things on the second floor. They just followed the footprints left by the younger brother and others, and in a moment they found the hidden staircase leading to the next floor.

The third level is even more unexpected.

In the large space, there is only a huge stone turtle placed in the center.

The turtle's limbs and neck are unusually slender, with a human face and a turtle body. The ends of the forelimbs are human hands, and the hind limbs are turtle feet.

The face is that of a woman, sinister and fierce, half-smiling but not smiling, like some terrifying thangka ghosts and gods from Western Xinjiang.

There is a depression on the turtle's back, and inside it is a black ball with human faces carved all over it.

In short, no matter how you look at it, this thing is not a serious turtle statue, it is somewhat eerie.

Actually, this thing looks a bit spooky, but in fact it is a serious statue of a god in the ancient history of the Celestial Dynasty.

This is a portrait that symbolizes the descendants of the Shennong family - the people of the country!

In ancient times, the Shennong people used clay dolls with human faces and turtle bodies to count the number of ethnic groups.

Later, this statue with a human face and a turtle body became the national emblem of the Shiren Kingdom.

According to legend, the appearance of this thing is related to the mythical Nuwa.

This thing sounds legendary, but in the final analysis it is just a testimony to the development of civilization.

On the third floor, the most important thing is not this... Hu Ming has heard some unpleasant noises that suddenly sounded.

Suddenly there was a strange sound of footsteps on the "ceiling" above my head!!!

"What the hell...? People in the Zhang family are all perverts, right? The one on top is actually covered with fairy fruits?"

After Hu Ming's prompting, the fat man finally stopped the lecture, heard the faint sound of footsteps, and looked at the ceiling above his head.

But this look.

The criss-crossing beams above the head form a huge chessboard-like structure.

In the grids of these chessboards, in the shadows of the beams, hang numerous delicate little boxes.

"That's awesome."

The fat man's eyes widened when he saw it. Under the shadow of the entire ceiling, tens of thousands of small boxes were hung.

The boxes are large or small, with different shapes and patterns on them. At first glance, they are extremely spectacular.

"Fairy fruit? What is that?"

Even Hu Ming was confused by the fat man's voice and temporarily ignored the footsteps. He had never heard of such a thing before.

"Hi, uncle, I've only heard of it...from a sister who has taken care of business."

"This guy is a very awesome lady. Once she went to a boss's house to "deliver food." Do you all know how to deliver food?"

Delivery?

How could Wu Xie and others not understand? We are all adults, right?

Several people glanced at the fat man with disdain. This guy's behavior in Sijiu City was not ordinary.

In a few years, this guy will definitely be the favorite target of the anti-pornography police.

"You are the most incompetent to despise me, Tian Zhen! Haven't you dragged me to take you to the bath many times?"

"Let's talk business. I heard from the boss that some things in this world have never fallen to the ground since they were made, and they are all hung up for preservation."

"And the box containing such treasures is called fairy fruit. I just heard about it, but I didn't expect there are so many here."

The fat man blushed and glared at Wu Xie, who pretended to be a pure and innocent boy, and then he told the story.

How could the Mediterranean have the qualifications to laugh at the bald man?

"Are you fucking reliable?"

"I have also heard a story that the eunuchs in the past all had a treasure room, and all the things cut from them would be placed in a box and hung in the treasure room. It was the same situation."

Wu Xie smiled awkwardly at the teasing eyes of Hu Ming and Xiao Hua, and said his guess.

"So, you mean, there are tens of thousands of barren trees hanging from the ceiling of the third floor of the Zhang family's ancient building?"

"Damn, you bastards are really good at talking nonsense!"

Hu Ming already understood what Wu Xie meant, and his mouth twitched fiercely. These bastards are really talking nonsense?

Look at how they quoted scriptures and swore solemnly. If Hu Ming didn't know what was in it, he would really believe it! Click, click.

However, while they were talking, the footsteps on the ceiling became clearer and clearer.
