Qianling password

The field of vision was pitch black, and there was a smell of dust floating in the surrounding environment.Yu Lanting felt that she was sitting on the ground, and the dust was raised when she just sat down.Thankfully, this time the gravity is finally returning to normal.

"Eh? xx." Yu Lanting subconsciously called out Wu Tingxi's screen name.

"I'm here, I'm fine."

A slight answer came from not far from Yu Lanting's side. Yu Lanting was a little relieved when he was sure that he was not lost with Wu Tingxi.

Yu Lanting squeezed his eyes, but still couldn't see any light, so he had to try to reach out to Wu Tingxi's direction.

Only about half a meter away, Yu Lanting touched Wu Tingxi's elbow.At the moment when he took Wu Tingxi's hand, Yu Lanting finally felt a little relief in his heart.

"Why is there no light here?" Yu Lanting tried to blink her eyes again, and even tried to see with only her left or right eye until she was sure she couldn't see anything.

Compared to the previous environment, Yu Lanting was more frightened here.She held Wu Tingxi's hand tightly, not daring to relax, and just followed Wu Tingxi to try to feel and stand up.

"I don't know either." Wu Tingxi turned on the screen of her phone, and finally there was a glimmer of light around her, but instead she said emotionally: "Hey, it's a pity that my phone doesn't have much battery."

Yu Lanting also thought of taking out her mobile phone at this time. She didn't unlock the lock screen, but just checked the battery level, and still whispered timidly: "My phone still has 63%, how about you?"

"46%." Wu Tingxi sighed secretly, she didn't know how long she would stay in this kind of place, the current 46% battery is not enough at all.

In the darkness, only the cool light from the mobile phone screen illuminates the faces of the two, making the atmosphere very mysterious.

Yu Lanting took a long time to adapt to the situation: "Use mine first." She quickly unlocked the phone lock screen, set the screen to "always on", adjusted the brightness to the darkest, and switched to power saving model.

The reason for this decision was because Yu Lanting remembered that Xu Luli might call Wu Tingxi at any time, and that was the only way they could contact the outside world.

The brightness of the mobile phone seems to only illuminate a small area around it.In the unknown how vast the darkness is, the surrounding is even more silent, which is really chilling.

Wu Tingxi and Yu Lanting held each other's hands, and with the help of the weak light, they could only move their positions in small steps and slowly explore the surrounding environment.

This time, although the gravity was normal and the air could be breathed normally, the infinite darkness gave Yu Lanting an unbearable sense of insecurity.

Just thinking like this, Yu Lanting felt as if the back of his hand touched some hard object.

"Yeah." Yu Lanting was startled, subconsciously called out, and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Let me do it." Wu Tingxi's warm breath made Yu Lanting feel that she was getting closer.

"Okay." Yu Lanting fumbled and handed the phone to Wu Tingxi's right hand, and then slowly moved the position, replacing it with his right hand to hold Wu Tingxi's left hand.

In a dark environment, Yu Lanting always feels insecure like this, and he has to sign Wu Tingxi's hand to feel at ease.

Wu Tingxi took the mobile phone, carefully took a picture of the location Yu Lanting met just now, and took a closer look.

Not far in front of him, Wu Tingxi was surprised to find that there was probably a horizontal frame, which looked like wood.

Wu Tingxi looked around again, and found that there was more than just a horizontal frame in front of her.After taking a few steps, she also found that there were vertical frames at intervals of several tens of centimeters. The horizontal frame and the vertical frame were about a few centimeters wide, and there were more than one of them, and there were more similar horizontal frames and vertical frames in the distance.

Wu Tingxi looked into the frame again, and it can be seen that the horizontal frame and vertical frame seen from the front are actually a whole piece of wood: "This seems to be a bookshelf."

Wu Tingxi held her breath, clenched her phone tightly and poked inside again. From the front of the bookshelf, she could already see the scrolls of paper stacked in circles.Looking upwards, she could even vaguely see the densely packed small characters on the scroll.

"Yes, it should be a bookshelf, it's full of scrolls." Wu Tingxi said in surprise.

Hearing these words, Yu Lanting eagerly moved closer, looked at the dim light, but couldn't see clearly what was inside.

"Ancient books in the seventh century are scrolls full of words, and thread-bound books with blue covers were not available until the Song Dynasty." Wu Tingxi's tone is sure enough, "The books that look like scrolls are the books at that time."

"I think we may be in the Qianling Mausoleum now." Wu Tingxi continued.

"Really?" Although Yu Lanting wasn't sure whether they were in Qianling or not, but considering that the paper was too fragile, he reminded, "Don't touch those papers, they might break suddenly."

If the paper is really preserved for more than 300 years, then they are just exhaled at this moment, and it is lucky that the paper has not been weathered quickly.

What's more, she accidentally touched the bookshelf just now, and she didn't know if she had damaged some of the books.

"I know, I'd better take a picture."

Wu Tingxi immediately moved quickly, and very cautiously stretched the phone into the bookshelf, and took a few clear photos as much as possible.Then she moved slowly, walked around to the other side of the bookshelf, and took another picture as clear as possible.

At the same time, Yu Lanting kept closely beside Wu Tingxi, moving his position according to her pace.

After all, even with the dim light of the mobile phone, Yu Lanting still lacked a sense of security in the almost dark environment.

As the two moved slowly, they gradually figured out the layout of the bookshelves here.

The projection of the bookshelf on the ground is two long columns, similar to the extended "=" sign.The two columns of bookshelves are arranged back-to-back, in the same way that modern library shelves are arranged.

After walking around the long bookshelf, the two returned to their original spot.

Wu Tingxi opened the phone's photo album, flipped through each picture quickly, and finally stopped on a zoomed-in picture, and then handed the phone to Yu Lanting: "Look, this is indeed Qianling."

Yu Lanting took the mobile phone and immediately recognized several new characters of the Wu Zhou system: the word "日" similar to "Θ", the character "月" that looks like "@", and the word "Lifetime" (upper and lower structure) The character "人" and the character "生" written as "匚生" (semi-enclosed structure).

Yu Lanting felt a little comforted in his heart, and suddenly thought that this is something to be thankful for?

She raised her head and saw Wu Tingxi's smiling face reflected by the light from the screen, but she let out a long sigh.

Wu Tingxi seems very happy, but who wants to enter Qianling?What did the aliens abduct them into Qianling?

Yu Lanting lowered her head and continued to look at the screen: "Is this font familiar?" She swipe the screen with her finger, zoomed in several times and took a closer look.Except for the new characters made by Wu Zhou, the other fonts on the picture are ordinary running script.

Although Yu Lanting was not good at recognizing handwriting, he felt that this handwriting was somewhat similar to the "Feibai" written in "The Stele of Prince Shengxian".

"It's her writing, otherwise who else could it be?" Wu Tingxi pointed to the writing on the screen and said firmly.

Wu Tingxi didn't know why she was so sure, maybe because when the queen passed away, the Wu Zhou system had been changed back, and no one would use it when the queen was buried, which increased the possibility that it was written by the queen herself.Or maybe just the unspeakable feeling in my heart is enough to make such a judgment.

"Are all the characters in the scrolls here written in Wu Zhou's modified script?" Yu Lanting asked again.

"No, look at the back. The books on the other side of the bookshelf are completely different from this." Wu Tingxi reminded.

Yu Lanting then flipped through a few pictures, and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What kind of bird writing is this!"

In Yu Lanting's view, the symbols on the pictures hardly count as words.

Those closely arranged symbols look like a bunch of "Tetris" at first glance.Looking carefully, this kind of symbol not only includes broken lines, but also curved strokes.Maybe it's more like the symbols used to formulate anti-theft ciphertext, but it just doesn't look like human writing.

"Is this alien writing?" Yu Lanting broke out in a cold sweat.Although they have already seen the information that can only be seen in Qianling, they can still see alien texts.What does this mean?Are they still under the control of alien forces?

"Of course not." Wu Tingxi couldn't help laughing out loud. Her hearty laughter echoed in the dark tomb, which instantly weakened the terrifying atmosphere. "It's not alien, it's Sanskrit."

"Is it like this in Sanskrit? Sanskrit seems to have a horizontal bar on the top and a curved bottom part, anyway, I don't know it." Yu Lanting tightened his eyebrows, with an expression of "I don't read much, don't lie to me".She used to watch the news and at least be able to tell the difference between the characters used in India and Stan by feeling, but the general shape is not like the weird characters in the photo.

"I know, what you're talking about is Devanagari in Sanskrit. Devanagari began in the thirteenth century. It would be strange if it appeared in Qianling."

Wu Tingxi further explained: "Sanskrit, Pali, and modern Hindi refer to the language category. Devanagari, Nandicheng, Siddham, Gupta, and original Brahmi refer to the writing method. This is Proto-Brahmi, the oldest form of writing in India. It may be a little strange that this is not the Siddham script that was commonly used in the seventh century. However, it is not particularly strange. After all, Proto-Brahmi is not commonly used, and it is not No one uses it."

"Oh." Yu Lanting didn't understand these things, so he could only listen silently.In modern times, very few people master Sanskrit.But this was not the case in the seventh century. No matter what kind of Sanskrit script it is, it is not uncommon for it to appear in Qianling.

"Do you know this kind of characters?" Yu Lanting just asked, only to realize that it was impossible.If Wu Tingxi knew Sanskrit, why didn't she become a professor?

Wu Tingxi smiled slightly: "How is it possible? I just looked at the fonts. We have an elective course "History of the Development of World Writing" that introduced several dead scripts, and almost no one listened to them in the class. Because I like linguistics , I listened carefully."

"Actually, look here." Wu Tingxi flipped through the phone's photo album, found a character that looked like a circle, and pointed it to Yu Lanting.Then she flipped through a few more photos, found the previous photos of running script with Chinese characters, pointed to the word "star" on it and said, "The circle of Brahmi letters in these pictures, and the "star" in running script of Chinese characters in the previous pictures , "Day", "Month", do the circles drawn by the same person look like handwriting?"

With the dim light of the mobile phone screen, Wu Tingxi looked at Yu Lanting's face again, trying to find an affirmative answer in Yu Lanting's expression.

Yu Lanting held the phone in both hands, hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it should be written by her. But, it's nothing unusual, right?"

"Yes, it's nothing unusual." Wu Tingxi agreed, feeling relaxed for a moment, pacing lightly in a limited range around, "In China from the seventh to eighth centuries AD, learning Sanskrit was very popular. With her Influenced by her mother, it is common for her to learn Sanskrit. It is not only Siddham, but even if she writes the original Brahmi script, it is not difficult. There are not many college students who know seal script. I happened to learn seal script by myself because I am interested in linguistics. And those merchants who carve seals by hand can write seal script even if they only have a junior high school diploma. Learning Sanskrit, regardless of Sanskrit Siddhan script or the original Brahmi script, is relatively easy to find learning resources, without any identity or class restrictions. For example, Fang Rong was an official and prime minister at the time, and he was busy with affairs, but he was also proficient in Sanskrit. "

Yu Lanting stopped talking, but fell into deep thought.As for the empress whom he admired in his heart, many of her deeds were difficult for Yu Lanting to find out due to limited information.There are many facts, and Yu Lanting can make inferences only based on his first feeling.And the conclusion Wu Tingxi got just now was within expectations, Yu Lanting was not surprised.

"There are a few more photos in the back, and I don't think they look like Brahmi letters." Wu Tingxi took the phone back from Yu Lanting's hand, flipped to the last few pictures, and pointed to the screen to show Yu Lanting, "Can you recognize them?" come out?"

Yu Lanting was about to say, "How could I recognize it?", but the moment she saw it, she pointed to a few symbols on the screen and couldn't help opening her mouth.

"Aunt it, dial it, useless? How is this possible?"

The reason why the pronunciation is pronounced like this is because the physics teacher of Yu Lanting High School pronounced "η", "β" and "φ" in this way.

Yu Lanting raised his head in disbelief and saw Wu Tingxi smiling again.
