The old cowhide notebook was probably quite old. The cowhide cover had been rubbed until it was shiny and almost covered with a layer of glue.
The paper inside had been carefully maintained. Li Du was not sure if it was waxed or otherwise, but it was glowing.
There were some very large words in the notebook, but Li Du did not know what they were. There were usually only three or four to five words on a page. The font size was like a walnut, so he could see it clearly with a casual glance.
He did not know these words, but he had seen them before. One of them was the word on the left leg and wing of the little bug.
The little bug had grown many legs and wings. Every time it grew a leg or wing, there would be a pattern made up of complex lines that looked a little like words.
Li Du had not found out, so this was just his guess. He had also thought that it might not be words, but the stripes on the little bug's body.
But now that he saw the things in the notebook, he was sure that it was words!
Tang Chaoyang was especially sensitive. After he showed a shocked expression, although Tang Chaoyang had his head down, he immediately closed the notebook and looked up at him. "What's wrong?"
Li Du calmed himself down and said vaguely, "Nothing, I just, um, what's the picture in this book?"
Tang Chaoyang immediately asked, "This is a kind of word. Have you seen it before? Which one have you seen? "
Li Du was a little hesitant, but he thought that there should be no risk in writing the two patterns on the little bug's body. It would be fine as long as he did not expose the little bug's existence.
So he opened the book and pointed to one in the middle of the page. "I've seen this before."
"Only this one?" Tang Chaoyang stared at him and asked.
The other party's pupils were very dark, like a deep spring. Li Du swallowed and said, "Tell me what this word is, and I'll write another one for you. I know two."
Tang Chaoyang nodded and brought him to a corner. He handed Li Du a notebook and a pen and said, "Write, write the word you saw just now."
Li Du knew that he did not trust him and might think that he was purposely trying to find out some information, so he asked him to write the word that he had just identified.
This was very easy. He saw the little bug every day. Although the pattern of the two words was particularly complicated, he had seen it many times and had already memorized it.
He wrote the word on the little bug's right leg and right wing, which was the same word he had seen in the notebook.
When he finished writing, Tang Chaoyang's breathing became heavier, and he said in a low voice, "I don't know how to pronounce this word, but if I translate it, it should be similar to the Chinese word 'Zhou', which is the word for the universe."
Li Du thought for a while and wrote down the words on the little bug's left leg and left wing. He asked, "Do you know what these words mean?"
Looking at the word, Tang Chaoyang's expression became absent-minded. He tilted his head and looked at the word. He reached out as if to touch the word on the paper, but he didn't touch it. He immediately withdrew his hand. "God!"
Li Du said, "This character is Tian?"
Tang Chaoyang looked up at him. His expression was still a little strange. He slowly shook his head and said, "No, God, I mean, God, God, so that's how it is!"
"How was it?" Li Du continued to ask.
Tang Chaoyang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "I'll tell you the meaning of this word first. It should be 'Yu'! The 'Yu' of the universe! "
Li Du asked, "It should be?"
Tang Chaoyang said, "The second word you wrote, it's the first time I've seen it, but these Olmec Sacred Tattoos are connected. I was just thinking about the connection between them, and then I guessed that this word is' Yu. '"
"Together, they mean the universe! Do you know what the universe is? Do you? "Tang Chaoyang asked again.
Li Du pointed to the top of his head and said, "Of course I know, it's the world we live in. Well, how do I put it, the universe, the Milky Way, is the whole universe."
Tang Chaoyang immediately shook his head. "The so-called 'Yu' is the boundless space; the so-called 'Zhou' is the time since ancient times! The universe is space-time! The unity of time and space! The unity of all energy! "
Li Du looked at him. Tang Chaoyang's current appearance reminded him of Liu Shan Yang.
Tang Chaoyang didn't care about his expression. He asked, "Where did you see these two words? Can you tell me? Seriously, Brother Li, they are very important to me! "
Li Du said, "They are not ordinary words. They are Olmec Sacred Tattoos? But what are Olmec Sacred Tattoos? "
He felt that this thing was a little mysterious, and maybe Tang Chaoyang would not tell him directly.
In the end, he worried too much. Tang Chaoyang heard his question and immediately said, "I have to mention the Olmec civilization first. Do you know about the Olmec civilization?"
Li Du shook his head.
"You know about the four universal civilizations, right?" Tang Chaoyang continued to ask.
Li Du said, "Of course, ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India, and ancient China."
"The Olmec civilization is older than all of them, at least 8,000 years old. It is considered by the outside world to be the budding culture of the ancient Indian civilization in Central America. It is known as the mother of the Indian civilization."
Listening to Tang Chaoyang's introduction, Li Du was surprised. "That long?"
Tang Chaoyang nodded. "Yes, the outside world generally believes that this civilization was born in 3,000 BC. In fact, there were 3,000 years before that …"
Li Du was about to open his mouth to ask, but Tang Chaoyang interrupted him first. "You don't have to wonder how I know. I just know that the two words you saw appeared 3,000 years ago and disappeared 3,000 years later."
Listening to Tang Chaoyang's words, Li Du said hesitantly, "Listening to you, this seems to involve some unsolved mystery of the world?"
Tang Chaoyang shook his head and said, "It's not an unsolved mystery of the world, because there are too few people in the world who know about this puzzle. It can only be regarded as an unsolved mystery of a few people. Anyway, you tell me, where did you see it? "
Li Du knew that he couldn't say too much. If he said too much, he might slip up. So, he lied. "Once, I attended an auction and found something interesting in a storage unit. It was a papyrus with an unknown language written on it. There was also a statue that looked like a bug …"
Speaking of this, he showed a confused expression. "These two words are on the statue. The reason why I always remember them is that they are a little strange. You may not believe me if I tell you."
"Tell me," Tang Chaoyang said.
Li Du said, "When I saw the statue, I felt as if I had traveled through time. No, it should be said that I traveled through time. Space did not change, but time did. It's strange to say that I saw myself, myself from a young age! "
Tang Chaoyang's face became extremely serious. "The Universal Icon, God, this thing really exists! Can you tell me where the statue is? I can give you a satisfactory reward! "
