Chapter 93 [Monument of the God of Yu] (Part 2)

Fang Kewen didn't care about how many people in this world could understand the Yu Shen Monument. The young man in front of him could actually understand the Yu Shen Monument was a huge surprise for him, but after a brief joy, he immediately became discouraged. Even if Luo Lie could understand the content on the monument, so what? Can it change their fate of eventually falling into the sea of ​​fire? Fang Kewen nodded and said disapprovingly.

Luo Lie pointed to the side of the Yu Shen Monument and said, "There is a line of small characters here, talking about the process of transporting the Yu Shen Monument."

Fang Kewen said: "So what?"

Luo Liedao: "The first person who transported the Yu Shen Monument was not sent in through the road we entered, but opened a tunnel from the middle of the mountain and followed the Yu Shen Monument here."

Yan Tianxin couldn't help but curiously said, "When did it happen?"

Luo Liedao: "It should have happened around 1127 AD."

Fang Kewen said: "Isn't it during the Jingkang period?" He was a great disciple of Ma Boxuan and had a deep study of history. During his five years of living in the underground, he always recalled and recited the historical chronology of China when he was idle, so he immediately reacted as soon as Luo Lie said it.

Luo Liedao: "That's right."

Fang Kewen thought to himself that during the Jingkang period, it was the time when the Jin army captured the Song capital of Bianliang and captured the two emperors Hui and Qin. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. The Paobaishan area was still within the control of the Jin people at that time. I remember that the two emperors were captured and sent to Wuguocheng to be imprisoned. The ruins of Wuguocheng are in today's Yilan County. But what does this Yu Shen Monument have to do with the capture of the two emperors?

Luo Liedao: "According to the above inscription, this Yu Shen Monument was one of the conditions for the subjects of the Song Dynasty to exchange for the two emperors. At first, this Yu Shen Monument should be located at the Kuai Wan Peak, the 72 peaks of Hengshan, Nanyue, so it was also called the Kuai Wan Monument. According to legend, a Lu Dongbin, who traveled all over the world, saw the Yu Shen Monument when he passed by Kuai Wan Peak. The text on it was obscure and difficult to understand. So he was very excited and began to figure out what the above was written. From morning to night, sunrise and sunset, Lu Xianren unknowingly studied for 77 to 49 days in front of the monument, racked his brains to figure out 76 words, and was about to verify the last word.

When he suddenly felt cold under his feet, as if soaked in water. He looked down and saw that he was standing in the water. When he turned around, he saw that the flood was in full swing. Lu Dongbin was shocked. In this shock, he actually forgot the seventy-six words he had thought through before. At this time, the flood disappeared instantly because he forgot all the seventy-six words. Lu Dongbin realized that the reason why the flood just now was because he accidentally revealed the secret of heaven, so he gave up his plan to continue deciphering the inscription of Dayu Monument and informed the people around him that he would not decipher any word on the Yu God Monument, otherwise he would be angry at the heavens because he told the secret of heaven."

Fang Kewen had heard of this legend before, but it was not as vivid as Luo Lie. The reason why Luo Lie learned this story was from his grandfather. He remembered that his grandfather had taught him Xia Wen since he was a child, but never told him what words it was. Perhaps it was because the secret of heaven could not be revealed.

Yan Tianxin listened with relish and whispered: "But I see that there are more than 77 words on this Yu Shen Monument."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "How many people have seen the real Yu Shen Monument? I have seen the Yu Shen Monument on Yuelu Mountain with my own eyes. Although it is engraved with ancient seal script, it is not Xiawen. It is said that the stele was replicated during the Jiading period of the Southern Song Dynasty."

Yan Tianxin said: "This stele is really a Yu Shen Monument?"

Luo Lie looked at Fang Kewen, and Fang Kewen said angrily: "What do you think I'm doing? I don't understand Xia Wen."

Luo Lie said: "I can understand it, but I am not familiar with the terrain below. Can Mr. Fang be willing to help? Maybe we can find the tunnel that transported the stone tablet back then."

Fang Kewen said: "I'm afraid it has been blocked!"

Luo Lie said: "How can you know if you don't look for it?" Many times he has the persistence of not giving up on the Yellow River.

Fang Kewen said again: "Even if you find the tunnel, you can't escape." At this time, he no longer concealed it. He did not lie before. Poisonous gas was spread everywhere in this area. People would inhale poisonous gas and get poisoned without realizing it. If they don't go too far, they would suffocate. Instead, they could return to this environment and breathe freely. Although he has lived in the world for many years, his appearance has become neither human nor ghost. Fortunately, he still maintains his rationality.

After hearing Fang Kewen say these things, Yan Tianxin became more and more determined to escape. Even if she dies, she doesn't want to become Fang Kewen like this. No woman doesn't care about her appearance.

Luo Lie was already deeply suspicious of Fang Kewen's words. Even if what Fang Kewen said was the truth, everyone's condition was different. It was like some people were allergic to pollen, some people were allergic to alcohol, but they had not felt anything abnormal so far, and Yan Tianxin had nothing to do. The situation that happened to Fang Kewen might not happen to them. What's more, this volcano may erupt at any time. If the volcano erupts in full, they will never have the chance to escape.

Luo Lie said: "Don't you have family and friends? Have you ever considered their feelings?"

Who can have no family and friends? Fang Kewen not only has family members, but also his family is huge. Before this expedition, he was once the greatest hope in the family. The Fang family was called the richest man in Tianjin. From the ambassador and counselor of Wudao to the merchants of various countries in Tanggu, no one should show goodwill to the Fang family first when they go to Tianjin. The Fang family has four generations living together, and the grandfather Fang Shiming is still strong, and his father Fang Kangcheng is calm and skillful. He had already had descendants before this expedition. Taohong was three months pregnant. He had promised her that when she returned this time, she would take her back to the Fang family. Whether the old men beat or scolded her, at least she could expel herself from the house. In any case, Fang Kewen had been in a state of affairs for more than ten years and was rarely moved once. Although Taohong had a bad background, she was just a gentleman who was not good at selling her skills.

Thinking of this, Fang Kewen couldn't help but feel a secret pain in his heart. Five years have passed, and the vows and conspiracy that year are still vivid in my mind, but she has become like this. Even if she can live, will Cherry still recognize herself? Can her family still accept herself? I wonder if Cherry gave birth to his child, and I wonder if she has kept her promise and waited for her, or she has already remarried someone else...

Luo Lie could see from Fang Kewen's flashing gaze that his heart was relaxed, and he whispered: "Even if you give up, your relatives may not be willing to give up. Do you have the heart to let them not see people in their lives and corpses in their lives, and to search for them endlessly?"

Fang Kewen shook his head and said, "I'm not as good as death like this!"

"No one cares about you, they only care whether you are still alive!"

Fang Kewen's heart moved, and he had to admit that after Luo Li and his men appeared, hope again arose in his already desperate heart. It turned out that he had never given up on the hope of leaving. If he died like this, he would die with peace of mind.

Luo Liedao: "The small words on the side of the Yu Shen Monument tell the story of their handling of the Yu Shen Monument along the way, and describe the landform characteristics in an extremely detailed manner. Should Mr. Fang want me to translate it to you?"

Fang Kewen stared at the boiling magma lake, his face was gloomy and calm, and his heart was churning and fighting violently like magma. After a long silence, he whispered: "Let's listen."

Luo Lie was secretly happy. Fang Kewen was indifferent from the beginning and finally began to change, proving that he had not cut off his hope of escape. As long as he had the vitality in his heart, they had hope of escaping from here.

Luo Lie used a telescope to observe the Yu Shen Monument and translated the small words left by the craftsmen in the industry to Fang Kewen. It seems that Xia Wen has never been lost in the true sense. At least the craftsman who carved this passage then mastered the ancient text. His grandfather Luo Gongquan was also the inheritor of Xia Wen. Luo Lie couldn't help but think of Luo Xingmu's description of his grandfather during his lifetime. Luo Lie has not accepted that his grandfather was a tomb robber. He has a deep understanding of the old man's character and integrity. Although Luo Lie appears to be cynical, he is still a person with clear distinction between good and evil in his bones. In this regard, he is deeply influenced by his grandfather. However, compared to his serious grandfather, he can adapt to this complicated and complicated world.

Fang Kewen was deeply curious about the young people in front of him. Their expedition was caused by Luo Xingmu. The ancient words presented to Ma Boxuan by Luo Xingmu aroused great interest from this scholar. Putting aside the sinister human nature exposed by Ma Boxuan before the temporary period, his attainment in Chinese culture and ancient characters was the best in the entire academic community. With Ma Boxuan's ability, he only deciphered more than thirty words. This kid was only in his twenties and could translate the profound and difficult words on the Yu Shen Monument without even thinking about it. Could it be that this guy has studied ancient characters from his mother's womb? The biggest possibility is that he already understood it.

Fang Kewen suppressed his curiosity. After all, now is not the time to ask the bottom of the question. Listen to Luo Lie’s detailed explanation and not to miss any of the details, because any details are related to whether they can escape from here.

Luo Lie read the text three times, and Fang Kewen finally nodded. He turned around and left without saying a word.

Luo Lie and Yan Tianxin didn't dare to ask too much, followed him silently and came to the northwest along the lava lake. Fang Kewen stopped and pointed to the front and said, "The tiger-head stone mentioned in the text should be here."
