Chapter 181

No, it's the ancestors of these people. In fact, it can also be called Tongling tower. The people who repair the tower will communicate with their ancestors here. The specific nationality is still unknown. It is likely to be the race before this generation of human civilization. Sanmei said, and then began to explain the murals to us one by one.

The front ones look like the scenes of ancient people leaving ships to sea and then meeting sea monsters to fight with them. In fact, this is not the case. These murals really want to express the scenes of ancient people going to sea to hunt sperm whales. Because the sperm whale is large, fierce and aggressive, and there will be casualties every time, it looks like it is fighting with a sea monster.

Next, these ancient people dragged the sperm whales they hunted ashore and then extracted the whale brain and whale oil. However, they also had a more important purpose, which was to extract a precious spice, ambergris. In some of my father's books, it is also called grey amber. It is only produced by the digestive system of sperm whales. It belongs to a stone phenomenon, a bit like bezoar and dog treasure in your traditional Chinese medicine.

This kind of thing is very precious. In ancient times, only royal families could use it. The price is many times higher than that of gold of the same volume. However, the people who built this sacrificial tower made great efforts to hunt sperm whales and collect ambergris in order to attract a prehistoric monster living in the sea, that is, the ancestor of the guy blocking us outside - Prehistoric snake neck.

This kind of snake necked beast likes the taste of ambergris very much, even to the extent of madness. Even in the vast sea, it will find it far along the fragrance. It will be captured by these ancient people and raised in the lake. The eggs will also be hatched in a special incubator in the tower and raised in the pool.

"That's great. Our ancestors trained wolves for dogs and horses for walking. These people are good. They directly began to domesticate a very different thing from dinosaurs, which is a big gap." I joked, and then asked Sanmei, "I know the source of the eggshell and the jade bottle. What's this in my hand?"

Don't worry, I said immediately. The reason why this ancient civilization paid such a high price to catch and tame this snake necked beast is that they have a very strange ability, that is, their third eye.

Sanmei paused for a moment. Seeing that none of us understood, she further explained: "Paleontologists have found that there is a hole in the forehead of many ancient reptile skull fossils. Further research shows that no matter birds and animals, frogs, fish, turtles and snakes, or even human ancestors, they all had a third eye. It only disappeared slowly with the evolution of organisms, and human embryos also had this third eye in the early stage of development Even when the baby is young, the third eye will also play a role in the skull.

This third eye can see or feel many things that human normal eyes can't see, just like what we usually call "heavenly eye". This is why many children can see ghosts, but they are scolded by adults as nonsense.

The third eye of this snake neck beast has a stronger function. In addition to seeing or feeling the ghost composed of energy groups, it can also let the ghost live in it.

Ivan interrupted Sanmei and asked, "there were only two eyes just now. Has they degenerated?"

San Mei shook her head and said it was possible, and then continued to introduce the mural.

This ancient civilized race wants to domesticate these monsters and achieve the goal of keeping the souls of their ancestors immortal. Then, every time you communicate with the souls of their ancestors, you will use the bottle in your hand. The whole process is very painful, because communicating with the dead is to be in a state of near death or trance.

People who sacrifice or pray will first bleed themselves into a state of extreme weakness, and then drink human brains or a large amount of concentrated cocoa liquid to cause severe vomiting and put themselves into a state of trance, so that they can communicate with the souls of their ancestors.

After listening to Sanmei's explanation, I knew I was holding such a disgusting thing and threw it aside. It's crazy to scold these people. The good dead can't reincarnate without saying. They have to do so many tricks. Jin Lihua and Ivan nodded to agree with me.

Seeing my puzzled expression, San Mei pointed to the last few murals and said, "according to the description of these murals, this is a highly developed civilization, sending people all over the world, constantly communicating with the dead of their ancestors, and trying all kinds of methods, they seem to want..." speaking of this, San Mei paused and continued after organizing the language: "To find a way to avoid doomsday destruction"

Doomsday? Is it true? Ivan asked curiously.

If we don't find a way out, the doomsday of us must be true, Jin Lihua said coldly.

"Where did you find the jade bottle containing ambergris?" I asked, wondering if I could follow the ancients on the mural and lead the big guy guarding the outside with ambergris, and then everyone took the opportunity to escape.

Following the direction of Jinlihua's finger, I turned a corner and came to a group of rooms similar to storing breeding tools. There are about seven or eight rooms. There are metal cages that can hold elephants, which are so rusty that even pigs can't be closed. There are long chopping boards for cutting meat. It seems that large fish are divided on the top. The large choppers on the chopping boards are black and black with dry blood Trace.

The third belly shaped jade bottle is stored in the penultimate room at the end of the corridor. In addition to the jade bottle, there are some things similar to the buoyancy regulating device. It seems that it is used to float ambergris on the sea, let the scented sea water spread to the sea and lead out snake necked animals.

Put the remaining seven or eight three section belly shaped jade bottles in the diving bag. We began to think about how to leave the sacrificial tower. The place where ancient people stayed was terrible enough, let alone the place where ancient people used to communicate with their ancestors who didn't know thousands of years ago. God knows if an old ghost will come out here and ask us for a temporary residence permit in an ancient language that no one can understand.

We were in a hurry to leave after taking the jade bottle, but I looked at the room where the ambergris was stored and thought, since I came, why not look at the last room next to me and see what was strange in it.

With Ivan's help, we pushed open the stone gate with great effort. All the room doors and passage doors in the sacrificial tower have waterproof seals like ox tendons at the joint with the door seam. It takes a lot of effort to open them. I really don't know how people at that time solved these thorny problems in the eyes of modern people.

The last room was empty, but as soon as we came in, we all gave a surprise "ah". The idea and design of this room is really wonderful. It may be the function of an observation room.

The room at the end is already the corner of the sacrificial tower. The lake outside is separated by a thick stone wall. However, I don't know what techniques these ancient people used. They embedded a transparent crystal on a stone wall. From here, we can observe the scene in the lake outside the tower.

Just at this moment, the scene is very scary for us. The snake neck beast doesn't know when he put his head on the transparent crystal of almost two square meters, staring at us like two light bulbs.

After seeing us, he was very excited and knocked the crystal observation window with his head. But listen to the sound. The inlay between the black stone and the crystal is very strong. Don't worry that it can break and rush in.

After a few bumps and attracting our attention, the snake neck beast's eyes stared at a corner on the right of the room. Following his wolf's sheep like vision, we took the electric light to the right corner of the room.

Following the light of the flashlight, we can see that in the corner of the room, there is a round pillar made of black stone, on which there is something like a flute and a weapon.

When I approached, I saw that it could not be a flute at all, unless it was designed for some giants. There is almost an adult with thick thighs. It is a very precise mechanical device. The light shines golden. It should be made of precious metal alloy, so there is basically no trace of rust on it. The sacrificial tower is underwater, so there is no dust on it. It looks very exquisite.

"What is this?" Ivan came forward and wanted to take it, which scared me to stop it. I thought this guy was too brave, but later I thought that this was the place where people sacrificed their ancestors, not the Royal Tomb of burglar proof tomb thieves, and there would be no mechanism.

Think about it, but it's always good to be careful. I carefully observed the stone pillar from front to back. I didn't find the mechanism. I found a group of explanatory words and drawings on the back of the stone pillar.

It's a word, but the four of us can't recognize half of them. The complexity of the word is simply not for people to see. I really don't know how long it took ancient people to go to primary school, or if they only went to primary school all their life and learned to read, they went home to raise snake necked animals. Although I don't understand the words, I can see from the pictures. It shows a snake neck beast with wings and flying.

what do you mean? Can this thing make the monster outside fly? Ivan asked first and said to me, "can you help it become a dragon to heaven, as you said?"

"This picture means that the snake necked beast should be free, that is to say, this in front of us is the key to the cell," said Sanmei, pointing to the precision machinery one and a half meters long and more than 30 centimeters in diameter.

I slowly picked up the strange machine, went behind the crystal observation window and looked at the expression of the snake neck beast. At the moment of seeing the machine, the eyes of the snake neck beast showed an expression that I, a human with good IQ, could not fully understand. Mixed with shock, sadness and longing.

"It seems that you are right. This is the key to let it go. I'm afraid the IQ of this thing will not be lower than any of the four of us." I said to Sanmei.

"Don't underestimate any life. The so-called spirit of all things is probably just a fearlessness after ignorance." Sanmei said meaningfully as if she remembered something.

"What should I do? Let it go? If so, how should I get it?" I turned to Xiang Sanmei and thought to myself that this thing is not as powerful as those in the movie alien. If it is released to breed and destroy human civilization, I will die seven billion times to pay off my human life debt.
