The light in the temple was very dark, so Jiang Zhonglou didn't find the words on the mural just now.
Now Sanya and the others have cracked the bronze tree maze behind several doors. The birds on the bronze tree of the temple have also started to burn, illuminating the temple. Only then did Jiang Zhonglou see the symbols on the murals.
I saw that there were nine characters in the string of symbols in total.
The first word is the shape of an eye, staring blankly, as if trying to penetrate the deepest secrets of the human soul...
The second character is just two crossed lines, like "x"...
The third character looks like "z" with an "s" added to the lower left...
...
The characters at the back are all strange and weird, some vaguely resemble mountains, some resemble a door, and some have no words at all...
Jiang Zhonglou looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize a single word.
He imitated antiques with his master, and also learned a lot of ancient characters. He has done a lot of research on oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, large seal script, and small seal script...
But he couldn't figure out what these symbols were.
Moreover, except for the pictogram of the eyes, there is no way to guess what the other words mean...
Jiang Zhonglou took out his mobile phone, took pictures of those mysterious symbols, and then went to look at other murals to see if there were any new discoveries.
As a result, he discovered that other murals also depicted sacrificial scenes.
Moreover, the bronze tree on the altar is exactly the same.
The difference is the person offering sacrifices.
The appearance of the ancient Shu king holding the scepter has changed, and the bronze masks of the high priest and the surrounding priests have also changed.
Even the crowds of civilians kneeling under the stage were different.
Jiang Zhonglou was surprised to find that none of these civilians looked or dressed the same!
The people who painted the murals seem to have painted them based on their original appearance, which is extremely realistic.
Although these civilians have a low status, since they can participate in sacrifices, it can be seen that their status is noble compared to other civilians...
Therefore, the person who painted the mural may have carefully painted each person according to their original appearance...
This is somewhat like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses.
Although there are more than 8,000 terracotta warriors and horses unearthed now, none of them are exactly the same.
There is a saying that the Terracotta Warriors and Horses are accurately carved according to the appearance of each member of Qin Shihuang's Imperial Guard...
Those who could serve as imperial guards for Qin Shihuang were all people of high status.
Obviously, the status of these civilians with different appearances on the murals in the ancient Shu Kingdom was not low. They were probably the imperial guards of the King of Shu. They were just worshiping at the altar, so they did not wear armor.
arms...
If the sacrifices of the ancient Shu people really used some mysterious technological power to communicate with alien civilizations, if the people around them were equipped with bronze armor and weapons, might they interfere with some kind of magnetic field?
Jiang Zhonglou discovered that in the murals, the positions of the priests standing around the altar were all fixed, and even the sacrificial vessels they held were similar.
It can be seen that although the people participating in the sacrificial rituals of the ancient Shu Kingdom were different, the rituals were fixed.
Jiang Zhonglou also discovered that the symbols and texts on this new mural were also somewhat different.
Although there are still nine characters, the first character is still the same as the staring eyes, but the next eight characters are different from the ones on the previous mural...
There are several words that are not found on the mural in front.
Although there are two words on the mural in front, they are in completely different locations.
Jiang Zhonglou was confused and didn't know what these symbols and words meant...
"Shua..."
Suddenly, the entire hall lit up dazzlingly!
It turns out that it was Sanya and the others who cracked the bronze tree maze behind the eight doors and ignited all the bronze birds on the bronze tree in the temple!
"Brother Jiang, come and help quickly! There are only five minutes left!"
Sanya screamed.
Without Jiang Zhonglou, the four of them wasted a lot of time in solving the maze, so it was slower than yesterday.
Jiang Zhonglou went over and threw out a bunch of control skills to help Sanya and the others, and quickly killed all the bronze birds.
"Wow! Another Shangtong Xuanyu!"
Sanya rushed over excitedly and quickly picked up the Shangtong Xuanyu that the bronze bird exploded.
It was time for the dungeon, and everyone was teleported out of the Shangxian Temple dungeon.
"Wow! This Sanya has cleared the dungeon of Shangxian Temple again and found a piece of Shangtong Xuan Jade!"
"Oh my god, this is another billion gold coins! This is faster than the Death Gang's help in making money for the city!"
"Hurry up and join the non-attack guild, otherwise I'm afraid you won't have a chance!"
When people in the world saw the news in the system information that "Player Sanya cleared the copy of Shangxian Temple and obtained the Shangtong Xuanyu", they immediately went crazy again. No longer hesitating, they began to apply to join the "Fei Gong Xing"
meeting".
"Wow, there are so many people applying, let's get them all in quickly!"
Sanya will take people in.
"No! Don't accept it yet!"
Jiang Zhonglou stopped Sanya.
"Why?"
"Our gang has already recruited 500 people yesterday. These 500 people are all players who are not afraid of the Death Gang and firmly support us. But those who applied to join the gang today are just a bunch of grassroots who follow the wind. We don't need it.
Collect them in a hurry!"
Jiang Zhonglou said.
"That's right! These guys are all speculators! Yesterday, they were afraid that the Death Gang would cause trouble for them, so they hesitated. Today, when they saw that we had defeated Shang Tong Xuanyu again, they wanted to join our gang again. These people are all unreliable.
Yes!" Ben Bo'er Ba Ye sighed.
"That's right, let's continue to the Shangxian Temple dungeon! The more we do it, the more sensational effect will be stronger! That way, some high-level players in the area will also come to join us!"
Ba Boer smiled and said: "We will slowly screen their applications at night!"
"Then let's continue to farm Shangtong Xuanyu to make money!"
Sanya is not interested in gang management at all, he is interested in making money!
"Sanya, I can't tell that you are actually a little money addict!" Bai Zhi said with a smile.
"I have never made money before, but now I find that making money is so fun!" Sanya smiled excitedly.
"Do you have somewhere to spend the money you make?"
"I... don't know, at least I can buy a lot of delicious food, right?"
Sanya is obsessed with making money, but she doesn't seem to have figured out what to buy with the money...
"Forehead..."
Everyone was speechless.
"Let's go, let's make money quickly!"
Sanya opened the copy of Shangxian Temple again and took Bai Zhi and two catfish spirits to crack the bronze tree maze.
Jiang Zhonglou continued to study the murals in the temple.
He found that the murals in the entire Shangxian Temple were similar, depicting scenes of ancient Shu people's sacrificial rituals.
These murals should be the "history books" of the ancient Shu Kingdom. They accurately record every sacrificial ceremony of the ancient Shu Kingdom for tens of thousands of years.
The ancient Shu Kingdom first appeared in the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the records of the Central Plains Dynasty, but their ancestors should have lived in Shu tens of thousands of years ago.
Li Bai's "The Road to Shu is Difficult" said: "With silkworms and fish, how confused was the founding of the country! You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai."
It can be seen that in Li Bai's time, he believed that the ancient Shu people had lived in Shu for tens of thousands of years...
It can be seen that this mysterious sacrificial activity of the ancient Shu people has continued for tens of thousands of years.
Otherwise, there would not be countless sacrificial murals in the temple of Shangxian Temple...
Jiang Zhonglou made a visual inspection and found that there were at least thousands of murals on the eight walls of the entire huge temple and the dome above.
If you read all of this, I'm afraid it won't kill anyone...
Moreover, the murals on high places and on the dome cannot be seen in Jiangzhong Tower. You can only see the murals on the bottom of the eight walls.
Jiang Zhonglou just walked along the wall to see if there were any new discoveries...
Suddenly, Jiang Zhonglou discovered a strange mural!
