C142 (1/2)

In this dark underground palace, the curve of time was infinitely extended.

Initially, Fang Zishu and the others could still rely on the phone that Xiao Hui was carrying to determine the specific time and place.

However, as the battery on Xiao Hui's mobile phone ran out, the concept of time became more and more inappropriate.

Initially, Fang Zishu wanted to use the 'Heavenly Star Wind Water Technique' to determine the approximate time by observing the changes in the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper and the stars in the sky. However, after he fell into the 'Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation', not to mention using the 'Heavenly Star Wind Water Technique', he couldn't even see a single constellation. In this situation, Fang Zishu wasn't able to determine the exact time, but in order to facilitate the date calculation, Fang Zishu proposed to use his meal as the time unit.

Of course, this was only a rough estimate of time. In this gloomy underground palace, for the sake of calculation, he had taken a compromise of time.

That is, the time between the first growl of the stomach and the second growl, 7 hours.

The two meals meant that Professor Xu was resting for 14 hours.

After obtaining an accurate answer, Professor Xu did not bother to continue studying the inscriptions on the monolith, and turned his attention to the huge mountain wall behind the monolith. After many times searching, he discovered that this place seemed to have been transformed from a natural cave, so the appearance of these mountain walls was extremely abrupt.

Other than these, the book also discovered that outside of the protruding part of the stone wall, there were a few other ancient diagrams. This drawing seemed to have been baptized over a long period of time, and had become mottled and blurry.

”Qi Sanpang, you came to take a look at this thing?”

Fang Zishu waved to Qi Sanpang, who was resting against the cliff. He then took out a highly focused flashlight from the backpack that he carried around with him.

Ding!

The moment his finger pressed down on the switch, a pale ray of light broke through the binding force of the night and shot towards the blurry image on the mountain wall. Under the light of the flashlight, the book felt more mysterious as it looked at the indistinct patterns on the cliff.

”Brother Fang, what's wrong?”

Qi Sanpang yawned, with a drowsy look on his face.

”Qi Sanpang, look over there with my flashlight. What is that pattern on the cliff?”

With Fang Zishu's reminder, Qi Sanpang immediately looked towards the source of the bright light.

Very soon, Qi Sanpang saw the pattern mentioned in the book.

Although it was very dark, Qi Sanpang could clearly see the shape of the pattern under the light of the high-intensity flashlight. The mottled pattern was about the size of a washbasin, and it was formed by two parts.

On the left was a circle the size of a plate. In the center of the circle, there were four symbols engraved. These symbols were placed in four different directions on the plate. Two of them were facing each other.
