主墓室相比起偏殿高出了许多,而且都是用一些大块大块的火山岩石垒成的,体积这么大的石块,也不知道修建古墓时是怎么运进来的?
萧问天拿着绳刀走在前面,高晓飞、凯丽和安娜跟在后面,慢慢地走上那高阶石台,台阶上还刻了一些象、蛇和莲花一类的动植物图案。这种浮雕不算罕见,但整座墓室却修建得非常气派,使人不由得纳闷,这位王爷虽然做不成皇帝,但肯定也是最高级别的王公诸侯,连墓葬的规格都这么豪华,还显得处处离奇。
墓室似乎很大,而且并不止一间,时不时就有一堵墓墙隔开,但却没有设置墓门,走在墓室里,犹如身处迷宫的感觉,空气中还伴随着一种淡淡的幽香从里面飘了出来。
“刚才好像已经走到主墓室了,为什么现在又不是了?我们是不是迷路了?”高晓飞喃喃自语。
“这些偏殿应该都属于是主墓室的一部分,真正的主墓室肯定就在这个区域,只是我们没找到而已。”萧问天看着周围的环境。
“If we found the main chamber, would there be an exit?(要是找到了主墓室,那会留有出口吗?)”安娜疑惑地问道。
“It's hard to say.(这个很难说。)”萧问天道,“But this underwater cave is natural, the result of a volcanic eruption, and it should have more than one vent, but it's up to us to find it.(但这个海底洞穴是天然的,是形成于火山爆发的产物,按理说,会有不止一个出气孔,但能不能找到,就得看我们自己了。)”
走了不久,只见一道墓墙又拦在了前面,但还是没有设置墓门。
众人远远看去,只见墓门中间的位置上摆了一张石桌,石桌上似乎竖立着一件长形的物品,待到走近了看时,看见石桌上竖立着的,却是一把宝剑。
安娜惊呼道:“Oh my God, that's a long knife.(噢天哪,那是一把长刀。)”
高晓飞忍不住笑出了猪叫声,连忙纠正道:“Beauty! This is a sword, not a knife.(美女!这是剑,不是刀。)”
安娜瞪了高晓飞一眼,但也不和他争辩,似乎是意识到自己说错了。
萧问天将周围检查了一遍,确定没有机关后,这才慢慢地走近了石桌前。他仔细地观察着石桌上的那把剑,只见剑高六十厘米,剑尖插入部分应该在十厘米左右;剑宽五厘米;柄长十五厘米;剑身的一面刻着日月星辰,一面刻着山川草木,顺着剑刃处却刻满了一些符号,似乎很古老的样子;剑身的下面,横放着一把剑鞘,剑鞘上也都刻满了符号文字。
“轩辕剑!”萧问天忍不住发出了一声惊呼。
“老大!什么轩辕剑?”高晓飞疑惑地问道。
萧问天侧过头来,看到安娜也是迫切想知道的神情,说道:“This is an ancient sword from China that has been lost for a long time, named xuanyuan sword, which is a powerful weapon of divine soldier in ancient Chinese legends. It is said that xuanyuan yellow emperor picked copper from the first mountain and cast it with infinite divine power.(这是一把来自中国失落已久的古剑,名叫轩辕剑,是中国古代传说中的神兵利器,相传是轩辕黄帝采首山之铜所铸,拥有无穷神力,是一把斩妖除魔的神剑。)”
轩辕剑是中国上古黄帝的佩剑,自古就被后人神话,誉为上古神器,在很多文学或影视作品中,都能看到轩辕剑的存在,被吹得神乎其神,无所不能。以致于人们一提到轩辕剑,都觉得它是传说中的神物。相传皇帝将轩辕剑传给了大禹,所以也被称为轩辕夏禹剑。大禹之后又将剑传给了商汤,再后来就再没有出现过轩辕剑的消息了。
安娜疑惑地说:“If this sword belongs to China, why did it end up in an underwater tomb of an Indian royal?(这把宝剑既然是属于中国,但为什么又会出现在这座印度皇家的海底古墓里呢?)”
高晓飞道:“Many of China's national treasures have been lost to foreign countries, especially the museums in the United States, Britain and France, which have collected countless Chinese cultural relics.(中国的国宝,有很多都被流落到国外,特别是美英法的博物馆里,都收藏了无以数计的中国文物。)”
萧问天解下绳头上的军刀,用刀刃在剑身上轻轻一敲,只听“当”的一声脆响,非常悦耳,知道此剑绝非凡品,连忙又低头细看。他是一个收藏爱好者,而且收藏了不少的古兵器,对于这方面的知识,有着一定的了解和鉴别能力。
他绕着石桌细细地看了几遍,再次拿出军刀,又敲了敲剑身,摇摇头说道:“This is a high-end imitation, and not really down the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan Xia Yu Jian.(这是一把高端仿制品,并不是真正黄帝传下来的轩辕夏禹剑。)”
高晓飞疑惑地问道:“老大!How do you know that?(你这是怎样鉴定出来的?)”
萧问天说道:“In the ancient Chinese book "Shiyi Ji" once recorded: Kunwu Mountain, under its red gold, such as fire color.It is said that the Yellow Emperor fished Chi You in the past, Chen Bing here, digging deep 100 zhang, still not reach the spring, only see the fire like a star, in the earth, more Dan, stone for copper, copper green and Li, spring color red, mountain vegetation are strong and Li, soil is just and fine, Yellow Emperor picked the first mountain copper cast sword;So real Xia Yujian yuan should be a pure copper casting sword, is mainly used to command, and the sword, belong to the product of the spring and autumn period and the late, sword mainly stainless steel moulds, the alloy elements such as copper, tin, lead, sulfur, the pattern of high sulfur, copper sulfide can rust, it is a magic of fighting the enemy.(在中国古籍《拾遗记》中曾经有记载:昆吾山,其下多赤金,色如火。传说昔日黄帝伐蚩尤,陈兵于此地,掘深百丈,犹未及泉,惟见火光如星,地中多丹,炼石为铜,铜色青而利,泉色赤,山草木皆劲利,土亦刚而精,黄帝采首山之铜铸剑;所以说,真正的轩辕夏禹剑应该是一把精铜所铸的宝剑,主要是用于指挥,而这把剑,却是属于春秋晚期的产物,剑主要以精钢铸成,其合金成分为铜、锡、铅、硫等,花纹处含硫高,因硫化铜可防锈,这可是一把上阵杀敌的神兵利器。)”
高晓飞、凯丽和安娜听得大是惊异,眼光不约而同地看着石桌上的宝剑。
萧问天拿着军刀,试着用刀刃轻轻地碰了碰宝剑的剑刃,只听得“当”的一声脆响传出。他微微一点头,手上运劲,用军刀利刃往宝剑利刃上一砍,“当”的一声,精钢所制的军用匕首被宝剑一碰两段。
“好剑!”萧问天忍不住惊呼,“This is a sword that cuts iron like mud!(这可是一把削铁如泥的宝剑!)”
高晓飞、凯丽和安娜都感到了万分惊讶。
“God, this is not to be worse than the legendary shafts of Xia Yu Jian!(天哪,这岂不是要比传说中的轩辕夏禹剑还要厉害!)”高晓飞惊讶地说。
“Chinese swordsmanship has a history of thousands of years, and the world respects the sword as the ancestor of hundreds of soldiers. Because of its ease of carrying, elegance of wearing and quickness of use, the sword has become the object sought after by princes, emperors, scholars, chivalry, merchants and common people in all dynasties.(中国铸剑术已有几千年的历史了,世人尊剑为百兵之祖,剑因其携之轻便、佩之神采、用之迅捷,故成为历朝历代王公帝侯、文士侠客、商贾庶民所追捧的对象。)”萧问天点了点头,“According to "Guan · the ground several", once GeTianLu mountain, hair out of gold, Chiyou by the system, that the sword armor, the beginning of the description of the sword also, judge the sword appeared in the Xuanyuan Huangdi era;Therefore, although this sword is an imitation, it is really a treasure, and the sword casting skill in the late Spring and Autumn Period is far better than that in the Yanhuang Period, so it is not necessary to call it xuanyuan sword.(根据《管子·地数篇》中,昔葛天卢之山,发而出金,蚩尤受而制之,以为剑铠,此剑之始也的描述,判断剑出现于轩辕黄帝时代;所以,此剑虽是仿品,但实为珍品,而春秋晚期的铸剑术远超炎黄时代,就称之为轩辕剑也未尝不可。)”
高晓飞只听得两眼放光,偷偷地看了安娜一眼,轻声问道:“老大!这把轩辕剑是不是很值钱?”
“这可是无价之宝。”萧问天感慨一声,“This sword comes from China, but it is the national treasure of the Chinese nation, it should return to its own country.(此剑来自中国,可是中华民族的国宝,它应该回归到自己的国家。)”
高晓飞、凯丽和安娜一齐点头。
萧问天再次审视石桌和轩辕剑的周围,确认没有机关暗器后,这才伸手去拿剑柄,用力一拔,但见寒芒吞吐,电闪星飞,把轩辕剑拔了出来。
萧问天微一思索,眼光射向石桌的一角,忽地力贯臂膀,右手一振,挥剑砍落,只听得“咔”的一声响,石桌的一角被轩辕剑一剑切落,一块拳头大的三角石块跌落在地上,切口平滑,犹如刀削豆腐一般。
“好剑!果然是神兵利器!”萧问天忍不住惊呼。
“天哪,这可比灭绝师太的倚天剑厉害多了!”高晓飞更是惊叹连声。
萧问天拿过剑鞘,却见剑鞘是用铜所制,非常精美,雕刻更是尽显春秋时代的痕迹。他插剑入鞘,截了一段绳子,将轩辕剑系了,递过去给高晓飞,说道:“你负责背着,把你的军刀给我。”他的军刀在试轩辕剑时被剑刃削断了。
高晓飞大喜,接过轩辕剑,又一把将剑拔出,右手挽了一个剑花,这才插剑入鞘,负在背上,洋洋得意地说道:“老大!你再教我一套剑法就更完美了。”
凯丽笑道:“你别背着宝剑,就真以为自己是大侠了!”
安娜吸了吸鼻子,说道:“The smell is getting stronger and stronger. I wonder what is coming from it?(香味越来越浓了,不知道是什么东西发出来的?)”
萧问天道:“The scent seems to have a refreshing effect, rather than a poisonous one, but it is not discernible at present.Kelly!Check the air quality.(这香味似乎有一种提神醒脑的功效,不像有毒,但目前闻不出是什么香味,大家注意警戒;凯丽!测一测空气质量。)”
凯丽测了空气,汇报道:“The air quality is normal.(空气质量正常。)”
继续往前走,转过墓墙,但见大殿里灯火辉煌,四周摆满了各种各样的玉雕工艺品,地上也堆积着很多金银制品,以及众多的陶瓷、木雕陪葬品,淋漓尽致,尽显着皇家的富贵之气,把众人惊讶得瞪大了双眼,犹如身处梦境。
“This is the main burial chamber. Be careful.(这里就是主墓室了,大家小心点。)”萧问天看着前面的墓室说。
众人慢慢地走入大殿,站在大堆的财宝之前,心旌神摇,要硬生生地忍住贪念,没点定力还真不行,唯一的办法就是不去看那些好东西,尽量分散自己的注意力。但每一个人都被这堆积如山的珍宝惊呆了,如此之多的奇珍异宝,哪一件都是价值不菲。
想象到那些在古墓中遇到危险的盗墓贼,都是被古墓中这些珍宝迷了心智,所以永远也走不出去了,看来这些陪葬品就是最大的陷阱,只有尽量不去看,才能克制住自己的贪欲之心。
“Look at the front. What's that?(你们快看前面,那是什么?)”高晓飞指着前面大呼小叫,却又不敢说得太大声。
众人一齐看了过去,只见大殿的中间位置上,有着一段悬在半空的长形大梁,似石似木。那道大梁又大又长,差不多有一米五左右的直径宽度,两米多的长度,由几条大铁链捆绑着,从洞顶的山崖上探出,刚好延伸悬挂到离地面一米多高的位置上。大梁之下却摆着一张大石桌,桌面距离梁底大概在二十厘米左右,而在石桌的周围地上,竟然堆满着金银珠宝的陪葬品,在灯火的辉映下闪闪发光。
更奇特的是,这段圆形大梁之上,竟然生长着一丛白色叶子和两朵血红色的巨大花朵——一簇莲花。叶子呈半透明白色,血红色的花瓣正在怒放,通体都是鲜红的血色,透明的白衬托着鲜红的血色,更加增添了恐怖感。而血色莲花似乎在大梁上生了根,它的根系和大铁链一起,紧紧地包住那段大梁,浓郁的香味正是从那里散发出来的。
“It's the scent of aloes.(是沉香的香味。)”萧问天猛地大吃一惊,眼光凝视着悬挂在空中的大梁,“That a large section of the beam should be a formed by the junction of aloes coffin, and the prepared material in the Chen xiang is a gourmet, the customs of ancient India many imperial tomb are useful aloes buried, aloes, can let the body to maintain the original legend, if the body in aloes, can also be immortal in ten thousand, but such a huge aloes coffins, is really not smell the smell, let alone seen,Could it be that the body of the tomb owner was in this aloes coffin?(那一大段的大梁应该是一个由沉香结合而成的棺椁,而沉香是一种极品中的神品材料,古印度很多皇陵都有用沉香陪葬的习俗。传说沉香可以让尸体保持着原貌,如果把尸体存放在沉香之中,还可以万年不朽。但如此浩大的沉香棺椁,还真是闻未所闻,就更别说见过了。难道,那墓主的尸体,就在这沉香棺椁之中吗?)”
高晓飞被他的话吓了一大跳,惊讶地问道:“老大!You mean the tomb owner made the coffin out of aloes wood?This is incredible!(你是说,这位墓主是用沉香木做棺材?这也太不可思议了吧!)”
萧问天摇了摇头:“It is incredible, but what is more incredible is that you do not know that agalloch and agalloch wood are two different concepts, and such a huge agalloch is invaluable.(是不可思议,但更不可思议的你们还不了解,沉香和沉香木是两种不同的概念,而如此巨大的沉香,本来就是无价之宝。)”
高晓飞疑惑地问:“Isn't agarwood agarwood?(沉香不是沉香木吗?)”
萧问天摇了摇头,解释道:“A lot of people have that question;In fact, aloes and aloes wood, just like the relationship between bezoar and cattle, are produced by pathological changes rather than natural growth. Aloes are produced by aloes wood, but not all aloes wood can produce incense. Aloes refers to the incense produced by aloes wood, which is the balm formed after years of deposition by fungus infection, secretion and combination of aloes wood.Aloes wood is a kind of wood, that is, the host of agalloes, is the common daphneaceae arbor.(很多人都有这样的疑问;其实,沉香与沉香木,就如同牛黄与牛的关系,皆为由病变产生而非自然生长,沉香产于沉香木,而并不是所有的沉香木都可以结香。沉香是指沉香木所结的香,是沉香木被真菌感染,从而分泌、结合,经多年沉积形成的香脂;沉香木是一种木材,也就是沉香的宿主,是一般的瑞香科乔木。)”
高晓飞、凯丽和安娜听后,一齐摇头感叹:“I don't know!(这还真是不知道!)”
沉香,并不是指某一种树木,而是一类特殊香树结出的香,沁合了树脂成分和木质成分的固态凝聚物。当沉香树遇到一些意外伤害,如风折、雷击、虫害、人畜危害,或者自身内部病变等,在伤患还没有愈合的开放过程中,偶然被特殊真菌感染,真菌与伤患处分泌的树脂产生奇妙的反应,从而形成新的物质,这就是沉香。然而,伤口并不是树脂凝聚的唯一原因,沉香树脂亦会自然形成于树的内部及以腐朽的部位上。而沉香的价值视等级而定,一般根据地域、香气、颜色、手感等不同来判断沉香的级别,香味的良窳和油脂的多寡是判断沉香好坏的重要因素。
高晓飞忍不住追问道:“如此说来,这副棺材是不是价值很高?”
凯丽推了他一下,说道:“这叫棺椁,别老是棺材棺材地乱喊乱叫。”
萧问天感叹道:“India aloes, of course, is to determine the content of oil price, because the real India aloes stock on the market, so the price is very high, the highest level in Indian aloes of sink, namely oil content higher than 70%, and the mineralization, like this pair of coffin materials, the prices in the international market is terrible, reached $sixty thousand a gram,There are almost none in China, the main collectors are Middle East rich and Indian aristocrats, absolutely the best of the rare!(当然,印度沉香是按含油量来确定价格的,由于市场上真品的印度沉香存量极少,所以价格非常高。印度沉香里最高等级的乌沉,也就是含油量高于70%,并出现矿化,就好像这副棺椁的材料,在国际市场上价格非常惊人,达到了六万美元一克。中国基本没有,主要收藏者都是中东富豪和印度贵族,绝对是珍品中的珍品!)”
“我的那个天哪!”高晓飞的声音都已经发颤了,“世界上恐怕再没有比这更贵重的棺椁了!”
“Is the tomb owner lying in this aloes coffin?(墓主是不是就躺在这沉香棺椁里?)”高晓飞、凯丽和安娜难以抑制心中的激动,忍不住便要动身过去仔细观看。
萧问天连忙伸手拦住三人,说道:“Do not approach, do not pass easily.(千万不可靠近,更不要轻易过去。)”
三人都吃了一惊,安娜紧张地问道:“Is the smell poisonous?(难道香味有毒?)”
萧问天摇了摇头:“The air quality is normal, I've sniffed it, the scent is not supposed to be poisonous, but have you noticed the strange lotus flowers on the coffins?(空气质量是正常的,我也仔细闻过了,香味应该没毒,但你们有没有注意到棺椁上那丛奇怪的莲花?)”
高晓飞疑惑地说:“Yes, the lotus clumps are also too strange, the white transparent lotus leaves, blood red flowers seem to be dripping blood plasma, but how can this aloes coffin grow plants?Is it possible to bury the Lord as a seed in this coffin of aloes so that he can sprout and blossom?This is so weird!(是啊,那丛莲花长得也太奇怪了,白色透明的莲叶,血红色的花朵似乎就要滴出血浆来。可这沉香棺椁上怎么会长植物呢?莫非把那王爷当种子埋进这副沉香棺椁里,他就能发芽开花了不成?这也太奇葩了吧!)”
萧问天忍不住笑了笑:“This is not just any red lotus, but a curious variety of Indian legend called the necrophila, which is extremely valuable and dangerous.(这可不是一般的红莲花,而是一种印度传说中的奇特品种,叫尸香血莲,极其珍贵,但又十分危险。)”
“The corpse sweet blood lotus!(尸香血莲!)”高晓飞、凯丽和安娜闻听此言,心里猛地打了个突,大家都是第一次听说这种奇花异卉,这名字倒是怪异之极。
萧问天说道:“I have been in some Indian collection books and the remnants of ancient historical materials, saw the picture of the resin incense blood lotus and legend, this kind of resin incense blood lotus appears only in some Indian legend, also can only grow in a tomb, dark environment, does not need photosynthesis, is said to keep the body does not rot is not bad, still can make body smell, is also very rare breed,The ancient Indian civilization has a strong mysterious color, religious complex, myths and legends and historical facts are mixed together, it is very difficult to distinguish, I thought this is ancient legend, not to be trusted, did not expect it really appeared here!(我曾经在一些印度收藏类书籍和残存的古籍史料中,看到过尸香血莲的图片和传说。这种尸香血莲只出现在印度的一些传说中,还只能生长在古墓阴暗的环境里,并不需要光合作用,据说能保持尸体不腐不烂,还能让尸体散发芳香,也是极为珍贵的品种。古印度文明具有强烈的神秘色彩,宗教繁杂,神话传说和史实混为一体,非常不好区分。我本以为这是上古传说,不足为信,没想到它真会出现在这里!)”
凯丽看着远处沉香棺椁上的尸香血莲,又问道:“So why is it so dangerous?(尸香血莲既然如此神奇,为何又说它很危险呢?)”
高晓飞和安娜也都看着尸香血莲。
萧问天思索了一会,这才说:“Legend, the resin incense blood lotus with the soul of the devil, it once grown up after flowering, will release the fragrance of vertigo, as long as someone close, will produce illusion, but this blood lotus can only be made in some of the so-called shenmu coffins, bodies depend on the smell of coffins itself and the essence of mix, resin incense blood lotus to survival, growth and flowering, therefore,It is also known as the devil's flower.(传说中,尸香血莲附有恶鬼的灵魂,它一旦长成开花之后,就会释放出一种迷魂的香味,只要有人一靠近,便会产生幻觉。但这种血莲只能种在一些所谓神木制成的棺椁之中,依靠棺椁本身的香味和尸体之精气相混合,尸香血莲才能够成活生长并开花,所以,尸香血莲又被称为魔鬼之花。)”
萧问天指着前面不远的地上说道:“See?There was an arc of different slabs, which made a great circle around the coffin and the necrophila in the middle, and I think that was the boundary, the boundary that the necrophila was in control of, and once you crossed the boundary, you might actually have hallucinations.(看到了吗?这有一圈用不同石板铺成的弧线,把中间的棺椁和尸香血莲绕了一大圈,应该就是界线,也就是尸香血莲所控制的范围,一旦踏过了界线,或许就会真的产生幻觉。)”
众人都经历过不少稀奇古怪的事情,但是从来没有遇到现在这么神奇诡异的棺椁和这种魔鬼之花,只是想不明白,在这种黑暗的环境之中,居然还能生长植物,这座海底古墓里所有神秘奇葩的物种,和那个墓主的印度人身份倒是十分吻合,都是些不符合自然界法则的怪物。
远远闻到一股股清香扑鼻,这尸香血莲除了传说中会释放迷魂香之外,不知道是否还会有剧毒。但一般有毒的动植物都是色彩鲜艳,看这尸香血莲白叶红花,颜色都像是要滴出水一样鲜艳,尤其是那两朵血色的莲花,真有着一种滴着鲜血的感觉,说不定真的是毒性超强。众人想到这里,不由自主地又往后退了好几步。
高晓飞看着尸香血莲喃喃地说:“As soon as I entered the tomb, there were lotus patterns carved everywhere, and now there are living corpses of lotus, as if the three of India really like lotus.(一进古墓,就到处都刻有莲花图案,现在居然还出现了活体的尸香血莲,好像印度阿三挺喜欢莲花的。)”
萧问天道:“India abounds in lotus since ancient times. In the earliest Vedic literature and epics, there are often hymns to lotus, which is regarded as a symbol of beauty. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism all regard lotus as an auspicious thing.(印度自古盛产莲花,最早的吠陀文献和史诗等,就常有对莲花的赞词,把莲花当作美好的象征,印度教、佛教、耆那教和锡克教等,都将莲花视为吉祥之物。)”
古印度人重视人类精神的价值取向,崇尚简朴的生活方式,以及对大自然的亲近和热爱,这构成了印度人所理解的今生与来世的独特世界观。为了祈福和实现人生的美好境界,古印度在原始宗教的基础上,发展成了三大宗教:佛教、耆那教和印度教,形成了独特的宗教文化,并因此影响到古印度人的社会生活的方方面面。
宗教起源于对自然和世界的敬畏。在古印度,最早的信仰就是对自然的图腾崇拜。而对植物崇拜在古印度人的精神生活中,也是一个非常重要的内容。
莲花在佛教中,象征神圣与不灭,莲花与佛教的密切关系,表现在佛教将许多美好圣洁的事物,以莲花作比喻,以莲花为代表。印度文化中,莲花是生的再生,但信仰上的意义之外,莲花集合了真善美所有的象征。
莲花在污泥中才可以生长,就像人只有在这个浊世中潜心修行,才可以成佛一样,但是在成佛的道路上会受到许多邪恶污秽的侵扰,佛教要求人们不受世间的邪恶污秽的侵染,就像是莲花出淤泥而不染,开出圣洁的花,这是在佛家最美好的象征,佛家常常会把莲性比作是佛性。佛,菩萨,也都是端坐在莲台上,或者是手持莲花,表达了佛是出尘世而清洁不染的高尚的境界。
佛教说,花开见佛性,这里的花指的就是莲花;花开指的就是修行者达到一定的智慧境界,比喻人有了莲花的境界,就会显示出来佛性。真正的修行的人都会明白,当修行达到很高境界的时候,那么这个修行者就会看到,自己的腹内就会生出一朵小莲花,我们称作是莲台,当然这里只是比喻,并不是那种真的可以刨开肚子可以真的看到的那种莲台;同时修行出那种很小的佛体,端坐在莲台之上,随着修行的境界越来越高,这个莲台如同这个小人会变得越来越大。
印度,这个历经风霜的古国,在发展改变的过程中,发生了太多令人瞠目结舌的事情,给世人留下了太多无法解释的谜团,这些谜团从几千年前一直存在到今天,让很多科学研究者百思不得其解。毕竟,在那个充满了限制因素的年代里,人们的认知水平相对来说远没有现今这么高,所以,很多的事情是无法拿出强有力的证据来解释的,只能留给后人来解答。
高晓飞疑惑地说:“Could the corpse lotus, which had lived for hundreds of years under this abyssal tomb, survive on nothing more than a little moisture and air?Do they eat other animals, like millipede lice?(这尸香血莲几百年生长在这海底古墓之下,难道就只靠吸取一些湿气和空气就能生存了吗?会不会还会吃别的动物,比如说千足虱虫。)”
凯丽摇头道:“Should not, this nearby even a fly can not see, also can not see elsewhere in the tomb of the worm silk spider silk, if this corpse sweet blood lotus by devouringanimals for a living, long withered dead, must be the aloes coffin to provide it with enough nutrients.(应该不会。这附近连只飞虫都看不见,也看不到别处墓室里该有的虫丝蛛丝。如果这尸香血莲靠吞吃动物为生,早就枯死了,一定是那沉香棺椁给它提供了足够的养分。)”
安娜惊讶地说道:“Could it be that the coffin keeps secreting new substances?
This is incredible!(难道说,这副沉香棺椁还会不断分泌形成新的物质?这太不可思议了!)”
凯丽点头道:“That's not out of the question.(那也不是没有可能。)”
“Since it is a harmful thing, simply eliminate it.(既然是害人之物,干脆就把它消灭算了。)”高晓飞右手往后一伸,握住了轩辕剑柄。
萧问天连忙说道:“No, we would rather not go through it than destroy the most precious clough of necrophils; besides, we can go round it.(万万不可,我们宁可不过去,也不能毁坏这丛极其珍贵的尸香血莲,况且,我们还可以绕过去。)”
众人真怕尸香血莲像传说中会释放迷魂香,不敢进一步走近,只得从侧面绕了过去,顺着墙壁再度寻找墓室机关。毕竟在墓室里呆得太久了,可谓是步步惊心,而且心中记挂着任务,更希望能够快点寻找到出路。
正行间,却在灯光下发现墙壁上刻着很多文字符号,密密匝匝的都是梵文,足有数百个之多,但却没有壁画。众人自入古墓,在所走过的神殿和墓室里,看见多是以壁画来记事,并在壁画的空白处配上少量的梵文,但这里却全部都是梵文。
文字是人类传递信息的一种最基础符号,古代壁画带给人们的信息,是一种直观的感受,而文字中含有的信息则更加精确,如果破解了这些梵文,在解读这座海底古墓上就会很明朗,只可惜,四个人中没人懂梵文。(未完待续)
