Chapter Two Sky Burial Altar
Press the play button.
The camera moves among the broken walls and ruins, and the dust particles are particularly conspicuous in the searchlight.
In the background, scholars can be heard talking about the underground palace.
The photographer is obviously a professional in the team and knows very well where valuable clues are most likely to remain. He selects some special areas for close observation and records the corners that are easily overlooked.
Because the underground palace was only found recently, it was the first time for Yu Zhen to watch this video. However, due to the previous investigation, she was now able to cooperate and explain the contents to Yan Jing.
During the scene change, Yan Jing noticed that the scene inside the entire underground palace was not as special as he imagined.
It can even be described as simple.
Everything you can see are stone statues and stone pillars that have become extremely rough after being tempered by time, as well as some strange-looking bronze vessels. This is enough to prove that the underground palace was built quite a long time ago.
Yan Jing tried to figure out what they meant, but his eyes were sore with no results. He turned to Yu Zhen, who just shook his head.
Although he is a professional scholar in this field, Yu Zhen is not so knowledgeable that he can figure out the origin of a vague stone statue after just a few glances at it.
"After preliminary testing, some of these things are from BC at least."
Yu Zhen was explaining on the side, but Yan Jing suddenly approached the screen and locked his eyes on something flashing above it.
"What's painted on that wall?"
Turning the screen back and pausing it, Yan Jing pointed at the painted rock wall that the camera was focused on and asked.
Although it has been eroded over the long years, the incomplete paintings are still particularly eye-catching in the light.
"Our people are still trying to piece together the murals in the underground palace and haven't had time to study them..."
"Can you enlarge this part of the picture to make it clear enough?"
In Yan Jing's eyes, these "grave robbers" sneaked into the underground palace and wreaked havoc. On the one hand, they wanted something, but on the other hand, they did not want the Special Affairs Bureau to be aware of their purpose.
In other words, their work has not been completed yet, otherwise there would be no need to be so secretive.
The current abnormal celestial phenomena in the Kasai River Basin in the Kunlun Mountains are the best proof.
Plus what Miao Yingshi said during the last phone call.
Yan Jing became more and more certain that his loss of contact was most likely related to these guys.
However, if you want to find this group of people, it is obviously not enough to rely on the Special Bureau's regional search alone. They must have enough confidence in their own strength to dare to face the troops of the Special Bureau in the near future and actively launch attacks and create tragedies.
To put it bluntly, they don’t take the Special Affairs Bureau seriously at all!
"nailed it."
Yu Zhen worked in front of the computer for a while, and the rock wall paintings were enlarged one after another, and the content above was quickly displayed in front of the two of them.
Due to the incompleteness of the paintings, Yan Jing could only distinguish part of the content:
Three ferocious heads with human-animal characteristics opened their mouths and sprayed various indistinguishable things. Only a small part of the neck was visible, like a snake body, covered with dark green scales.
There is no doubt that this is a painting about a certain monster.
"The contents of these painted murals are still being analyzed. They are too old. It will take time to read ancient books and compare them in various aspects. However, local folklorists have found some clues."
With the frequent occurrence of supernatural events in the world, the Special Affairs Bureau has gradually figured out some of the rules.
That is, most supernatural events do not occur out of thin air, and their causes are often related to an event in the past.
This has made archeology, folklore and other previously unpopular subjects become popular in recent times.
This time is no exception.
"Although the location of this underground palace was discovered for the first time, there are related descriptions in local myths and legends."
Yu Zhen flipped through the notes in his hand and quickly found what he wanted.
"The ancient songs sung by the local herdsmen mentioned that there are three celestial burial altars enshrined in the Kunlun Mountains, which are the locations where Changshengtian killed the evil beast and sealed its head, and these three celestial burial altars were respectively
Named: Hesaer, Boyinluke, Momu!"
It is difficult to say the name of the Sky Burial Altar in modern language. Even Yu Zhen could only imitate the ancient tones used by the herdsmen when they preached the praises, so it sounded very obscure.
"Boyinluke...it's true!"
Taking out his cell phone and glancing at the message Miao Yingshi sent not long ago, Yan Jing's palms suddenly tightened and he asked,
"Which celestial burial altar is it that you discovered now?"
"It should be Mo. It's just a guess, I can't be completely sure yet."
"Have you found the other two?"
"Not yet. It is too difficult to locate the location of the underground palace tomb based on the herdsmen's songs."
Yu Zhen asked the local special affairs bureau again through the internal network, and after getting the conclusion, he relayed it to Yan Jing.
"You are a step late... No, you are too far behind. Miao Yingshi found Boyin Luke. If nothing else, a conflict broke out with the group of apostles. The message he just sent me contained
coordinates, as long as we can rescue him, we can directly find the location of the second celestial burial altar, maybe we can also learn the last one, and act before those people!"
Until now, Yan Jing could finally determine the main reason why Miao Yingshi suddenly left the Luojiang Mountains and came to the Kunlun Mountains.
Although he didn't know what was guiding him, the goal of Miao Yingshi's trip was obviously these celestial burial altars, and when he acted, the "grave robbers" did not take action.
This made Yan Jing subconsciously think of a series of extraordinary events that happened in the Kunlun Mountains some time ago.
There seems to be some connection...
No matter what, if you find Miao Yingshi, you can get enough clues. There is no doubt about this.
Yu Zhen, who was also aware of this, hurriedly reported the situation. At this time, due to the loss of contact with Miao Yingshi and the malicious actions of the group of apostles, it was meaningless to continue to conceal the relevant information.
Under the coordination of the senior officials of the Special Intelligence Bureau, the military aircraft began to rush as quickly as possible to a location near the coordinate location where they could barely stop.
It's just that there is a long way between Shanqing City and the area where the Kunlun Mountains are located.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Yan Jing and his party arrived nearby.
In late autumn, there is heavy snow outside the window.
The scope of abnormal celestial phenomena has expanded compared to before, affecting the movement of military aircraft.
"Just stay here, I'll walk the rest of the way by myself!"
Feeling the violent shaking of the military plane, Yan Jing took the locator and said in a deep voice.
"I'll go with you."
Yu Zhen stood up immediately.
Yan Jing subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, this was a rescue and the operation was against time.
But then I thought about Yu Zhen’s status as a scholar, and finally nodded and agreed to let her go with me.
