Yan Tianxin sighed and said, "Why are you so cruel to be buried with a living person?"

Luo Lie shook his head slowly and said, he could not explain it. Although there are many precedents in history for burying living people, it is the first time that he has seen the figurine using this method.

Yan Tianxin could hardly bear to watch it again.

Luo Lie said: "Look at the folds of their clothes and the parts that were blown up and fluttered by the wind. I wonder what method can I use to maintain such a posture?" He raised the lighter and put it on the back of one of the generals' hands: "It's true that people are frozen in it! Look, the hairs and pores on the back of the hands are clearly visible."

Yan Tianxin observed carefully at his reminder. As expected, he secretly praised Luo Lie for his meticulous observation. At the same time, his heart also became particularly heavy. After all, the ancient tomb here belonged to her ancestors. I didn't expect that the ancestors were so cruel and used living people to bury them for their lives.

The two of them walked forward from the middle of the Shinto and walked a few steps, and found that there were many white bones scattered on the ground, including some copper coins. Luo Lie bowed to pick up one of them. His fingers touched the copper coins, and the copper coins remained motionless. It turned out that the copper coins had been solidified on the ice rock over the years. When they looked closer, they were the ingots of the god book, and they were the same as the one worn by the sparrow. Luo Lie couldn't help but think that Ma Boxuan and Luo Xingmu had also been here before? The copper coins engraved with the mark of the glaze bird were obtained here?

Luo Lie searched with the light, and there were about a hundred copper coins scattered on the ice, with different fronts and backs. However, there was no sign of the word Liuque engraved on the back. In fact, this was normal. The reason why Ma Boxuan chose the copper coin and took it back was because the copper coin was unique. Of course, it is not ruled out that he engraved the two words Liuque on it after picking up the copper coin.

Walking through the passage between civil officials and military officials, a staircase made of black ice sculptures appeared in front of them. The carved railings on both sides were made of jade, with exquisite craftsmanship and grand spirit. Looking up, I saw an extraordinary crystal palace standing at the end of the ice stairs. The palace seemed to be built with black ice.

Yan Tianxin grew up in Tianmai Mountain since she was young. Except for accidentally falling into a thief cave when she was five years old and entering the Tianpeng King's Mausoleum, she never entered the interior of Tianmai Mountain. Although she knew that there were many unknown secrets hidden under Tianmai Mountain, her childhood experiences always bothered her like nightmare, not to mention the constraints of the ancestral teachings. If it weren't for this accident, she might never have had the idea of ​​exploring the hinterland of Tianmai Mountain.

The compass stopped and turned straight to the hall.

Yan Tianxin's eyes were inquiring, obviously looking forward to Luo Lie's choice. In fact, she had already guessed Luo Lie's decision. With her understanding of Luo Lie, he would definitely choose to go to the Ice Palace to find out.

Luo Lie said: "If you want to see thousands of miles away, you can go to the next level!"

Yan Tianxin smiled slightly: "Stand high and see far. Maybe we can find a way out by walking up there."

The Ice Palace was already looking at it, but it took them half an hour to actually come to the gate of the Ice Palace. The stairs were nearly 60 degrees and were steep upwards. There was no platform for rest and adjustment in the middle. Both of them were in a state of overdrawn physical strength, and Yan Tianxin was also injured. He walked and stopped and stopped. When he arrived at the gate, he was so tired that his face was pale and sweated. He leaned on Luo Lie's shoulder and rested for a while before he recovered some physical strength. Luo Lie said with concern: "It's better to carry you on my back!"

Yan Tianxin shook her head: "I'm not that old yet."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "Then I will carry you when you get old!"

Yan Tianxin's pretty face heated up, but indescribable warmth emerged in Fang Fang's heart. This warm feeling was like the spring breeze blew through the nerves and veins around her, making the pain in her body no longer so obvious. She spat softly: "I don't know who can't walk then."

Luo Lie looked at Yan Tianxin's delicate and flawless pretty face, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sensation, but then another pair of sad eyes appeared in his mind. Deep in his heart, if it was stabbed by a steel needle, he frowned and turned to the side.

Yan Tianxin felt a little embarrassed after saying that. Her long black eyelashes drooped down and looked at her toes. This was the first time in her life that she was so embarrassed in front of a man.

In front of the Ice Palace Hall are two huge ice sculptures of beasts, with a tiger-shaped body, a dragon-shaped head, a curved horn, a thick limb, a sharp rib, a sharp claw, a thick, long and powerful tail, a head held high, a wide mouth, and a pair of hanging eyes glanced at the forty-five degrees, showing their arrogant domineering character.

Luo Lie recognized the two ice sculptures at a glance as evil spirits. Evil warding is usually placed in front of the gate of the tomb chamber as a tomb-controlling beast. From this, it can be judged that an important person is likely to be buried in the ice palace.

Yan Tianxin said, "It looks like the lizard just now."

Luo Liejue reminded her and suddenly realized that, yes, these two evil-violating animals looked very similar to the lizards they encountered in the hot spring river just now. The biggest difference is that there seemed to be no wings under the lizards. Perhaps when the ancients imagined the magical beasts such as evil-violating animals, they created and developed them on the basis of lizards. Or maybe the lizards in ancient times originally had wings, but later some physiological functions deteriorated due to adapting to the environment over the long years.

There are four large characters engraved on the plaque above the Ice Palace. Although Luo Lie has extensive knowledge and is well-versed in Xiawen, he does not recognize what these four characters are written, because these four characters are neither Chinese nor Xiawen.

Yan Tianxin whispered: "Heaven and Earth are mysterious!" It turns out that these four characters are Jurchen large characters. The Jurchen people were the ancestors of the Manchu people. Although they had their own language, they did not have their own words and had always borrowed Khitan characters. Since the leader of the Jurchen kingdom, Wanyan Aguda established the Jin Kingdom, he ordered Wanyan Xiyin to create the Jurchen language. Wanyan Xiyin was ordered to create the Jurchen characters according to the regular script of the Han people, and combined with the Khitan language system, combined with the national language. This Jurchen character is known in history as the Jurchen large characters. After the demise of the Jin Kingdom, the scope of use of this kind of text gradually narrowed to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

By the time, the Jurchen characters were almost extinct. As for the descendants of the Jurchens, the Manchus had adopted Mongolian characters. Later, Nurhaci re-established the characters and ordered two civil officials, Erdeni and Gaga, to complete this time, and finally completed the creation and promulgation of Manchus. After several improvements, the common characters in the Qing Dynasty were formed. However, as time went by, the Qing Dynasty's national strength gradually weakened, and the Manchus' acceptance of Han culture became increasingly deeper and deeper, and the application of Manchus became worse and worse. After the Xinhai Revolution, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, and Manchus also accelerated its withdrawal from the historical stage.

Although Luo Lie is familiar with the Manchu and Han characters, he knows nothing about the Jurchen big characters that can be called antiques. Yan Tianxin is originally named Wanyan Tianxin. She is a tribe who survived when the Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Mongolians. Because her ancestors chose to occupy the mountain in the Tianmai Mountains in the Pale Mountains, almost isolated their contacts with the outside world. It is precisely because of this that part of the Jurchen culture of the former Jurchen people has been preserved, including the Jurchen big characters that have been considered extinct.

In a sense, the loss of Xia Wen's dynasty and the Jurchen big characters also have the same experience. Looking at Chinese history, whenever dynasties change, it is not uncommon to deny predecessors and destroy the culture of sages. The most famous one should be Qin Shihuang burning books and burying scholars. Luo Lie thought in his heart that perhaps Xia Wen's decline and disappearance were also related to this historical event.

Standing in front of the Ice Palace gate and looking down, he saw the stairs behind him steeply tilted and stretched down to the bottom. The starting part was hidden in the ice cave, looking down at the top, and it was clear that it was concluded that there were no pursuers catching up in the rear. Luo Lie breathed a sigh of relief. If he could temporarily get rid of Luo Xingmu and Yan Kuohai, it would be a good thing for them.

Yan Tianxin's heart never calmed down for a moment. Since her grandfather appeared, her heart became chaotic. Although she knew that her grandfather was already in a state of distraction, she still couldn't help but worry about his safety.

Luo Lie guessed her thoughts and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, Luo Xingmu should be the one who lost." There were many people on the battle, Luo Xingmu was alone, and the ape man and the blood wolf were not on the scene. He could not win at all. It is not necessarily clear whether he could escape and break out of the siege.

Yan Tianxin nodded. Given their current situation, they really couldn't take into account other things. Meimou looked into the Bing Palace again and said, "Can we get in?"
Chapter completed!
