Mu Yiran heard the words and sat down and looked at the screen with Ke Xun.
Ke Xun pointed to an icon on the screen: "My first discovery was this guy. It's bigger than all the icons."
Mu Yiran stared at it for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, this symbol is more 'tall and burly' than other symbols. According to the painting psychology and habits of the ancients, people with high status are usually drawn in the painting. Taller and more pronounced than secondary characters.
"So this icon probably represents a person who has the status of a leader, and this person is often seen in the later scenes.
"Look, the combination of the entire A-side rock wall seems to be a coherent and grand scene of witchcraft, and the small part of the scene that we cleaned up before is very similar to some people or The spirits, the dead people, the dead beasts, and the spirits that also looked dead, were placed in a row in a certain order, which seemed to be the preparation for an act of sacrifice or witchcraft.
"And this tall and burly 'person' appears in every scene of the rock painting on the A side, which probably shows that the whole process of witchcraft is presided over or guided by him, so this person's identity may also be of high status. Great witch."
Ke Xun made a clear expression, and Mu Yiran motioned for him to continue speaking. The image was reduced to fit the entire petroglyph, and then he circled the picture with his finger: "The second discovery, you may need to make up your own brain, the screen is too small, and the proportion is completely unclear - the second discovery is this In the sacrificial ceremony, all these dead people, dead beasts, and dead monsters that are suspected to be sacrificed, they seem to be divided according to categories, and then arranged into a huge circle... Hey!"
While Ke Xun was talking, everyone tried their best to put their heads in front of the screen. Two or three heads were squeezed between Ke Xun and Mu Yiran at once. Luo Xun simply put the weight of his entire body on Ke Xun's body and stretched it. Looking forward with neck.
It's a pity that the screen is too small, and the petroglyphs are too large. When reduced to this scale, the icons on the screen have become blurred small black blocks, and you can't see anything at all.
However, Mu Yiran had clearly imagined the scene Ke Xun was talking about. He pointed his fingertips towards the screen, drew a three-ring concentric circle in the air, and asked Ke Xun, "Is that what you mean?"
Ke Xun was pressed crookedly on the carpet, and responded with difficulty from Luo Xun's arm: "Yes, that's it, the whole sacrifice scene is very grand, and it looks a little messy at first glance, but you know, I've seen too much since I was a child. There are a lot of group queuing scenes, especially good at finding my teammates from thousands of athletes wearing various sportswear on the playground, so the subconscious habit of 'finding' and 'sorting' has become my instinct .
"There are a lot of strange symbols mixed together in this sacrifice scene, but when I looked at it, I found that the positions of each type of sacrifice are connected to form a very regular big circle, and It spreads out in a circle, like water ripples.
"This is actually the same as the rock platform we saw at night. The rock platform is surrounded by dead animal corpses, but the bodies around the rock platform are not arranged in a regular circle.
"What's very strange is that the corpses around the rock platform are at least spread out around the rock platform, but the center of these sacrifices on the rock paintings is nothing, it's blank, there is no altar, and there is no idol or anything. sign, isn't that weird?"
"It's really strange," Shao Ling was squeezed out of the crowd. "Any idol or religious worship should have an image or totem."
"Could it be that they worship invisible people?" Luo Meng said.
"Maybe it's really possible." Wu You nodded quickly, "Invisible people can't see, so to put it bluntly, aren't they gods, so what they worship is gods."
"Even if they are gods, people will give them an image," Shao Ling shook his head. "For example, Buddha, Sanqing, and even the black and white impermanence of the bull-headed horse will have a specific image as sustenance, otherwise the persuasion to the public will be weak. Many, if you are asked to worship a cloud of air every day and tell you that this is the god in charge of wealth, will you have confidence in the divine power of this cloud of air?”
"...No," Wu You shook his head, "then instead of asking me to worship the air, it is better for me to directly worship Mr. Mu. As soon as Mr. Mu is happy, I will give me a big red envelope, and the money will come faster."
Mu Yiran: "..."
"So for the ancients who believed in the power of gods and ghosts, if the object of worship is a mass of nothingness, it obviously does not meet the psychological expectations." Shao Ling said.
"I think we should carefully look at every detail of the petroglyph," Hua Jiqiu said, "and the whole is equally important. The composition and layout of a painting often contain countless deeper contents that cannot be seen on the surface. It is a pity that Computer screens are too small to fit the whole picture at once."
"I have... in the trunk..." Mu Yiran said.
"Okay!" Luo Meng immediately jumped out of the tent and rummaged through the trunk.
Whatever it is, it's all right.
Then got back a projector.
Fortunately, the tent provided by Luo Meng was a military green camp tent, thick and sturdy, and there was basically no light in the tent after the curtain was drawn. So Zhu Haowen was responsible for connecting the projector to the computer and adjusting the clarity of the image.
The equipment brought by Mr. Mu is of course high-end products. After the image is enlarged to cover the entire tent wall, it is still clear and delicate. In addition, these icons have been processed by Weidong noise reduction, and they look the same Drawing directly on the computer by hand is no different.
However, although these icons have been optimized to such an extreme level, it is still difficult for everyone to use their existing cognition to understand the images of these creatures that are suspected of being humans and animals, and most of their behaviors.
Although these creatures are only represented on a plane in the form of simple line icons, if we want to construct their appearance in reality based on this, it cannot be simulated in the brain only by human imagination. .
Their images are indescribable even in the richest Chinese language. Their behaviors are obscure and incomprehensible, and their demeanor, limbs, movements, and even emotional atmosphere are extraordinarily strange. Terrible.
And when the whole picture was enlarged to the size of a whole wall, the unspeakable emotions and atmosphere revealed in the picture suddenly filled the airtight tent, pressing down on everyone's life as if it was substantial. mind.
Everyone was feeling a little suffocated, but when they heard Ke Xun speak suddenly, his clear and comfortable voice made everyone's hearts a little relieved: "Next, it's my third discovery."
Everyone was stunned and hurriedly followed the direction of his fingers.
Ke Xun stretched out his arm and pointed his finger on the tall and burly icon on the screen: "It's still it. At first I found it because it's bigger than the other icons, so I paid special attention to it, and then After carefully observing it for a while, apart from its body shape, the place that caught my attention the most was its head, or rather its face.
"You look closely at its face--did you notice that on the part of the line that seems to represent its face, there are small protrusions on the left and right.
"If it were a long time ago, I might not have cared about these two little bumps at all, but the interesting thing is - you should have seen my WeChat avatar - yes, it's the stick figure.
"I drew that little man by myself. I am a drawing idiot, but many years of experience in watching cartoons and comics made me draw two sketches for it when I drew this little man. eyes.
"And those two eyes are almost exactly the same as the two small protrusions on the face of this icon. Shao said that the ancient murals and rock carvings were originally very simple in style. I think they are similar to our modern stick figures. There may also be similarities in the way of painting, which is why this coincidence is caused.
"Of course that's not the point, the point is that because of the stick figure on my WeChat avatar, I automatically imagined the two little protrusions on this icon as its eyes, and then I found that in this whole face In the petroglyphs, there is only one of all the symbols representing living organisms, and it has eyes on its face.
"It is the largest, only it has eyes, it appears in various places in the whole rock painting, obviously as Yiran said, it is a 'protagonist'.
"But I don't think that other symbols representing living things have no eyes. The reason why only one of them has eyes in the picture, I think it just means that it is different, or that it can see other creatures. Something that is not available. What do you think?"
Everyone's faces were a little surprised and enlightened.
If it wasn't for the coincidence that Ke Xun used the stick figure he drew as his head portrait, I'm afraid he wouldn't have discovered such subtleties.
"Xiao Ke's discovery is very important," Hua Jiqiu said, "I agree that it may be able to see things that other creatures can't see. Does this explain the question of whether the center of the sacrificial scene is blank and empty? What? - Because what they sacrifice, the general public can't see it, only the leader, or the great witch, can see it."
"Then, the eyes on its face are likely to mean what we called 'observation' before." Zhu Haowen said, "It is likely to be a 'person' with the power of 'observation'. , maybe even gods, spirits, or ghosts."
"Could it be that what it observed was... those things underground?" Wu You moved his butt on the blanket uncomfortably.
"I think we need to sort out the symbols on the other three rock walls and combine them into a whole picture like the rock wall before we can find more clues." Yue Cen said.
"Dongzi," Ke Xun said to Wei Dong who was stunned beside him, "you hurry up to eat something, eat and drink enough, come to work, and put together the remaining three sets of BCD pictures as they are."
Wei Dong wiped his mouth: "If you don't eat it, I will fight now. It will be done soon, so you can see the speed of the beauty pageant."
"It's the speed of a single dog." Ke Xun turned his head and whispered to Mu Yi who was beside him.
Mu Yi nodded.
The author has something to say:
Ke Xun: I run fast.
Fang Fei: I swim fast.
Qingqing: I remember quickly.
Luo Yi: I cry so fast...
Wei Dong: I... I'm fast...
Boss: I move fast.
Ke Xun: …
