069. Murals

"Is this a 'sheep'?"

Feng Heng replied tentatively, and after seeing Yu Wan's satisfied expression, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, I looked at the pattern next to "Sheep", which was similar to "Sheep", and was also an extremely abstract horizontal ellipse, except that this ellipse seems a bit large, and there is also a large circle on the right side of the ellipse, and there are several messy lines below, but on the left side of the ellipse, there is a small short line.

"There are both 'cows' and 'sheep', so this one isn't a 'pig', right?"

"Well, after observing, I think that the animals represented by this abstract pattern are indeed very likely to be 'pigs'. Now, look at the lower part of the mural, there are many patterns similar to these animals. What it can represent should be that these livestock are in groups here."

"As far as I know, the livestock used by ancient people for sacrifices were generally cattle, sheep, pigs, and they were called 'Tailao'. In addition, there was another one called 'Shaolao', which was only sheep and pigs."

"I remember seeing it in a book before that only when there are large-scale sacrificial activities, the ancients would use Tailao. Generally, smaller sacrificial activities only use Shaolao. I don't know what the rules are in the judgment, but in this mural, it can be seen that the sacrifice of Tailao is used, and it must not be a small and common sacrificial activity."

Feng Heng nodded slightly in agreement, pointing one hand to the lower part of the mural.

"And you see, the cattle, sheep and pigs here have already been in groups. Even for large-scale sacrificial activities, there will be only a few at most."

"So many livestock should be the largest sacrificial activity ever."

The two stood by the wall and looked at the mural while discussing each other.

To be honest, this feeling is even more wonderful for Feng Heng.

It is basically extremely rare to be able to back-slay teammates for yourself, no, or even not at all.

But I just met me, and after only ten minutes of getting along, I could discuss it so enthusiastically.

He remembered Cao Qing who deceived him before. It was similar to this situation. It was only in more than ten minutes that the two of them could discuss it and then crack the first plot.

However, although both of these two people can gain trust in very little time, they are essentially different.

Cao Qing gives people a feeling of ambitiousness, but Yu Wan makes him feel an extremely simple sunny temperament without any distractions mixed in it. This is why Feng Heng can choose to believe him so quickly in addition to Yu Wan's back-slaying teammates for his sake.

Yu Wan certainly knew what Feng Heng was thinking, not by his mind reading skills, but by his own understanding of him.

In fact, he didn't expect to meet Feng Heng in this game. If Feng Heng hadn't cracked the first plot and announced the notice, he would have directly followed his game process and finally found the key points and won.

"Look at this place."

When Yu Wan was stunned, Feng Heng discovered something was wrong in another place.

On these livestock, there is something like an altar. On the altar, you can think of it with your toes and you will know that there are tributes on the altar, but something is different. There seems to be three tributes.

On the stone on the far left is a figure with only the lower half circle, and there are three twisted vertical lines engraved on it.

On the stone in the middle, there is a rectangle, and there are two vertical square patterns below.

On the stone on the far right, there is also a lower half circle like the left, with a horizontal line on it and a vertical diamond on it.

These abstract patterns would not be able to be cracked if they were not those who lived at that time.

"We have cracked the cattle, sheep, pigs, such livestock used for sacrificial sacrifices. Then the rectangle above must be an altar, and the altar must be a tribute. Are these three points confirmed?"

“Confirmed.”

"The next tricky one should be the patterns on these stones. To be honest, I can't understand the abstract paintings." Yu Wan sighed and spread her hands like a signboard. "But the more abstract it is, the more we need to separate these abstract patterns and understand them, and then connect some things that are similar to these patterns to make preliminary inferences and finally further confirmation."

"So first look at the one on the left, there is only the lower half circle. Preliminary speculation is that it should be a bowl."

"If I guessed correctly the three twisted vertical lines above should not be the pattern, but the text. Do you remember that in the pictograms, the pictogram of water is the same as this one."

"A bowl, the word "water", can roughly prove that it is a bowl of water. Should this be fine?"

Following Yu Wan's thoughts to think about the problem, I felt a sudden enlightenment. I opened the camera hanging around my neck and recorded the pattern in the camera's photo.

After seeing Feng Heng perform such a move, Yu Wan nodded thoughtfully and continued to point to the abstract square pattern in the middle.

"A rectangle has two vertical squares below. Although it is very abstract, it can be thought of, probably cauldrons, tables, door frames, etc. From the perspective of the environment, tables and doors can be excluded, because no one priests placed tables and door frames on the altar. Besides, there shouldn't even be a table at that time, right?"

"Now it seems that the tripod vessel is the most suitable thing, so the second one is confirmed to be a tripod."

Maybe he had said too much, Yu Wan coughed a few times, pursed her lips, and tried to moisten her lips with saliva.

"The last one, the third one, is the lower half circle like the first one, just treat it as a bowl."

"If you understand it as a hieroglyph according to the beginning, then the most likely thing is 'earth', which roughly proves to be a bowl of earth."

"Then if we guess it is true, we can conclude that their tributes are, a bowl of water, a cauldron, and a bowl of soil."

"Although I really don't know why the tributes of the sacrifice were water and soil, this is the preliminary conclusion we have drawn. Let's analyze it after seeing the murals of other tombs."

Yu Wan let out a long sigh, and as if she was relieved, she walked to the sarcophagus beside her, put her hand on it, and gasped.

Feng Heng glanced at Yu Wan's appearance, laughed out loud, and then took a camera to take a few key points on the mural.

This was in sharp contrast to the heated discussion just now, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

"Bang!"
