Plague Doctor
Chapter 208: Stone, Scale, Beast Skin [Request for Moon Ticket, Request for Subscription]
“Mr. Nightmareman, you see, this is a pattern carved by the astronomical hero Gu Jun.” Peacock's face is revered.
Gu Jun looked at the stone on Huang Sha and slowly walked away. The night has gradually descended and the pitch of darkness has devoured the desert, but the mark on the stone is remarkable. Old Seal, it looks like a antler, or a branch: a diagonal trunk in the middle, three cross branches on the left, and two on the right.
The closer he got, the harder he felt, and he didn't like the mark.
Or that dark force in him, he doesn't like the mark.
When the mark is engraved on the stone, it seems to have a special power.
“What does this pattern mean?” Gu Jun deliberately asked Peacock. Those scratches on the stone look pretty old, at least not recently.
“We see it as a blessing.” The peacock tone is proud, "it has been with our community for 300 years. Even in the most difficult days of the Cold Plains, the people did not lose this sacred object, which is our totem. ”
Three hundred years. Gu Jun frowned and the sage Barcelona disappeared for 300 years. Peacock said their group had been moving into the world for more than 300 years.
Three hundred years ago, the hilltop of Mount Hatig-Cora revealed its old imprint, and this stone...
The other stones around it are just plain big stones, only this stone has an old mark on it.
Gu Jun approached the front, bent over and caressed the uneven stone surface. There was nothing to sense, but the feeling of disgust became stronger.
He even has the feeling that he's not touching the stone, but some kind of sticky liquid.
But it was also at this time that he discovered that there was a gap in the stone that was slightly glowing, and the underlying stone was different, which seemed to be... proteolite. He doesn't know if it's the only stone on the planet, but this one is different from the rest of the world, like an exotic object.
More confusion was engulfed in his mind, and Gu Jun asked first: "Where are the other sacred objects? ”
“Other...” Peacock hesitated, "I've just heard of it, never really seen it, only the elders can touch it. ”
“Show me.” Gu Jun looked around, “the chief, the wise man, let me see the sacred objects, no problem, I'll give you" Nakert's Copy ". ”
He realized that Peacock could only get more information if he was delusional and had to work with her to finish the scene.
Sure enough, Peacock walked back and muttered to the air, turning his head: “Mr. Nightmareman, I hope you will keep your word, please come this way. ”
Gu Jun followed her and Mo Qing followed her.
Although the ancestors were frightened, this liveliness could not be missed, but sneaked behind.
Perhaps in the fantasy of peacocks, Earth City is a vast town that can accommodate more than 30,000 people. But at this time, the two leading the way had gone less than twenty meters, and they were still by this shitty lake, and the peacock looked up at something, “Here we are, our temple. ”
Ever since she arrived in the Land City, her mind has not been normal, but perhaps it has always been.
Gu Jun followed them into the temple. He walked almost a few laps in the same circle. He walked into the temple at various levels. After a solemn ceremony, the chief finally took out another sacred object - what the peacock had dug out of the mud of a pile of weeds and handed it to him.
It's a big scale. He took the measurements in his hand and wrinkled his eyebrows.
The scale is as big as a page of A4 paper, finger-like thickness, hard, with layers of fine little scales, bright colors, and a metallic glow.
“Have you ever seen anything like this?” He asked the ancestors that it should have been something that had grown on some creature.
Ancestor walked up and touched, sniffed, and clapped his head: “No, but I'm sure it's not a scale, it doesn't smell like a nasty fish.” The ancestors all said it was the first time they had seen each other. I didn't expect the earth city to hide such a treasure, and sell it to black merchants in exchange for a lot of pine chickens.
“Legend has it that this is the scale left behind by a patient with a different scale.” Peacock said, "A great man. ”
However, she could not tell who was coming. Her legends of the old world were like this. Apart from Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu, she could not say which name and title.
Now Gu Jun asks her so-called doctoral wise people, but so does she.
“What more holy things?” He had to ask.
“The chiefs hope that each of these ancestors can leave first.” Peacock continues to pass the microphone in front of him as he asks, "This involves some of the secret sins of our community...”
Gu Jun nodded and agreed. Ink Qing left with his unhappy ancestors. In fact, he went 30 to 40 meters away, but it seemed to be far away.
What did the peacock turn out of the grass? It was a small piece of ruined animal skin on the edge, and she gave it to him solemnly, "This is the last of the holy things. ”
He went on to see that it was also unclear what the skin of the creature was, ancient but still tough, only there were two lines of blurred blood on it, which was also a mutated Chinese character:
[Secrets out, dying, glamour, madness]
Crash, disaster, rebellion, collapse]
“What do these mean?” Gu Jun stared at his eyes, and his mind felt an illusion, "Peacock, repeat everything you heard from the chief and the doctors. ”
Peacock was also the first to listen to these secrets, and as he listened, his face grew tight: “After 10,000 sparks moved into the Cold Plains, he exhausted all available methods to preserve knowledge and history. These animal skins are one of them, but they have been lost over the years of wandering, and this is the only piece left. ”
Suddenly she was stunned, as if she had been greatly subverted. “Are you serious, Dr. Myung-yu? But! Oh..."
“Dr. Mingyu said that the Golden Age of the Last Period was actually not so calm.” Peacock language is vague and seems reluctant to believe these words: "According to circulation and research, 'astronomical disorder' and 'rebellion' mean the emergence of internal insurgency forces by the former astronomical organization of the World Supernatural Alliance, which has led to a very serious catastrophe and contributed to the advent of an era of great mutation. ”
The more she speaks, the closer she ends up muttering.
In her cognition, humankind was extremely united, and astronomical organizations, the World Supernatural Alliance, were the beacons that led humankind forward.
“Rebellion?” Gu Jun's head snapped like a knife, and his complex heart swept. But this possibility is not felt impossible.
He didn't know about the World Supernatural Alliance, but he knew that NASA was too short of people to isolate people with nightmares.
The Sky Machinery Bureau must recruit more people. If the Ministry of Spells is established, there must be a round of recruitment...
Moreover, traitors do not necessarily appear among the new members, and the mentalities and positions of the old members can change, even if the insurgents have been lurking in the Bureau for too long.
