Chapter 652: Linglong Tower

Seeing Ji Ning and Changsun Ying chasing after him, Tang Feng didn't seem to feel the slightest surprise. He seemed to have thought that Changsun Ying would also come.

Ji Ning greeted Tang Feng respectfully, and then followed behind him, walking on the other side of Zhou Wan, parallel to Shangguan.

Shangguan didn't look at him, but still talked to Zhou Wan.

Listening to what they said, Zhou Wan was asking her about martial arts, and there were still some things she didn't understand.

Zhou Wan did not have any foundation in learning martial arts before, but because of her knowledge of Taoism, she was able to make rapid progress by leaps and bounds. In just a few days, she has completely mastered what others need to learn in ten or even decades.

But this kind of mastery, of course, without any actual combat experience, when you think about it carefully in your mind, there will be many puzzles.

Along the way, Zhou Wan was thinking about the problems in martial arts, and would ask the Shangguan for advice from time to time, and the Shangguan would pass on some of the skills he had mastered to her.

Ji Ning naturally knew very well about martial arts, so when he heard the two of them talking, he also inserted into the topic and helped Zhou Wan answer a few questions from time to time.

If it was before, Shangguan would discuss a few words with him whenever such a situation happened, but this time, when Ji Ning was speaking, Shangguan just walked forward without saying a word, as if he didn't hear him at all. Speech is average.

Ji Ning tried several times to pick up Shangguan's topic, but she always ignored her. He couldn't help showing a wry smile, but in front of Zhou Wan, he couldn't say much, he could only answer questions seriously.

After Zhou Wan asked a few questions, everyone had already arrived in front of the pagoda.

Standing under this tower and looking up, it is more spectacular than looking from afar.

The entire tower is made of stones. The smooth stones are stacked in order, so that the seams are so tight that almost no gaps can be seen.

There are exquisitely carved patterns on the body of the pagoda. I don't know what coloring is used on the patterns. After thousands of years, this color is still extremely gorgeous.

In front of the pagoda stands a stele, more than two meters high, with characters on the front and back, all carved in intaglio, and then painted with black, making it easy to see at a glance. It is densely packed with small characters, there are hundreds of them, the arrangement is very neat, and the handwriting is clear and neat.

Meng Qiongyun looked at these two words, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything, and he turned to the back of the stone tablet silently, looked at it for a while, but still didn't say a word.

Meng Zhong had already stepped forward and took many photos of the stele from different angles. Seeing that Meng Qiongyun had not spoken, he was a little puzzled and said, "Father, what is written on it? "

Meng Qiongyun's face showed a bit of embarrassment.

Before, he used to be very conceited that he knew a lot of ancient languages ​​and minority languages, so he could study the meaning of the characters in the tower, but now, seeing the characters in front of him, he didn't recognize them at all. Slap in the face.

However, he is a well-known archaeologist after all, even if he can't see it, he can still make sense, he coughed, and said: "This kind of writing should be ancient Chinese writing, which is better than any kind of writing known so far. The texts are all ancient. Since the information we can get is too little to be used as a reference comparison, this text cannot be translated. However, there must be a lot of such texts here, and I will keep them carefully. Madam Ji, please rest assured that I will inform you and your family of the results of this research as soon as possible, without your permission, it will never be made public."

These words were very reasonable and polite, even Chang Sun Ying nodded slightly after hearing this.

But Tang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked Meng Qiongyun, "Is this the kind of writing you saw on the bronze map?"

"Yes, this is the text. Although I don't recognize it, I can be sure that it is the same type."

Meng Qiongyun nodded. As a professor of archaeology, he has a very strong ability to distinguish.

He wanted to explain a few more words, but Tang Feng waved his hand and didn't let him continue. Instead, he looked at the little girl and Zhou Wan, pointed to the stone tablet, and said, "Do you recognize it?"

The little girl and Zhou Wan said in unison: "Linglong."

Then, the little girl said again: "Father, is the word Linglong the name of this tower? Is this tower called Linglong Tower?"

"Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda?"

When Rong Guocheng heard the little girl's words, he blurted out, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that he had said something wrong. This pagoda clearly has nine floors, and the Seven Treasures Linglong Pagoda in myths and legends is also Tota Li Tianwang The tower should be seven floors, he couldn't help scratching his hair, and smiled embarrassedly.

Tang Feng didn't pay attention to Rong Guocheng's words, but nodded with an approving smile.

Meng Qiongyun's eyes widened, with an incredulous expression on his face, he looked at the stele, then at the two little girls, and stammered, "Tang, Mr. Tang, do you recognize the words on it? This, this What exactly is the text?"

What text? Naturally, Daowen.

When Meng Qiongyun mentioned the words on the bronze map, Tang Feng suspected that they were Daoist texts. Now that he saw it, it was indeed so. This is further proof that there were indeed ancient monks who appeared or have lived there for a long time.

However, Tang Feng naturally wouldn't explain this to Meng Qiongyun, he just said indifferently: "This is the ancient language of the local ethnic minority. Since the number of this ethnic group is small and the distribution is relatively scattered, there are very few words handed down."

Only then did Meng Qiongyun suddenly realize "Ah".

The place where Kunlun is located is surrounded by many ethnic minorities, many of whom have long lost their scripts. For Tang Feng's words, Meng Qiongyun firmly believed, looked at the stele twice, and murmured He murmured: "This writing looks somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese writing, but upon closer examination, there is nothing the same. Mr. Tang, which nationality's writing is this? What about the daughter of your family?" will understand?"

Tang Feng didn't answer, but walked to the back of the stele, glanced over the inscriptions, and knew the things recorded on it, and said: "What Chang Sun Yi said is indeed right, there were indeed three The family came here together, but among them, there is no eldest grandson family."

Originally, everyone was wondering why the little girl and Zhou Wan understood the above words, but after hearing Tang Feng's words, they all looked over with surprise.
